――――The following text――――

Cavalry is undeniably the king of the cold weapons battlefield, but at the same time, it is also an extremely delicate class.

Ice and snow are affected, rainy days are affected, windy days are affected, and even if the weather is clear, if the ground is too muddy and slippery, it is also a disadvantage for the cavalry.

In addition to the weather, the complex terrain was also a major constraint on the cavalry.

But even so, cavalry is still a powerful force that can decide victory or defeat on the battlefield.

Some people may think that the speed of the charge affects the lethality of the cavalry on the battlefield, in fact, this view is not accurate, and the real link to the lethality of the cavalry is not the speed, but the distance.

Cavalry is the most distance-oriented of all arms, and with sufficient distance, cavalry has mobility.

Why didn't Zhao Hongrun transfer tens of thousands of cavalry from northern Sichuan to attack the Chu army on the western outskirts of Shouying, the king of Chu?

The reason is very simple, the distance of that battlefield is not enough - behind the Chu army is the Chu king Du Shouying, in this case, even if the cavalry of northern Sichuan chiseled through the Chu army, it will be limited by the city, and can only choose to detour to both sides, and it is difficult to organize a second sprint to penetrate the enemy army in a short time.

However, if it is in a wide distance plain, the cavalry can repeatedly gouge through the enemy army and scatter the enemy's ranks, which is the most terrible place for the cavalry.

If there was infantry at that time, then the cavalry was more threatening - the cavalry was responsible for breaking up the enemy, and the infantry was responsible for covering the enemy forces that were divided and surrounded, and even if the enemy army outnumbered itself, it would be difficult to escape defeat.

Therefore, Zhao Hongrun chose the terrain to break the enemy in Jiaogang.

Because from Jiaogang to Beishan, where the Wei army camp is located, and then to the western suburbs of the royal capital Shouying, this is a flat terrain that is more than 30 miles long.

This full thirty or so forces were enough for the cavalry under the command of Bo Xile to cooperate with Wu Ji's infantry to break the infantry led by Gongsun Po, making it difficult for the latter to escape back to the western suburbs of Shouying.

This strategy and foresight shocked Wu Ji, the chief general of the Shangshui Army.

"Kill!"

"These bitches raised ......"

"Tell you to be fucking arrogant outside my barracks......"

Outside the Shangshui military camp, the two armies of Chu and Wei had just clashed, and there was a scene of defeat and retreat of the Chu army, and tens of thousands of Chu troops were killed by the Wei soldiers who suddenly killed out of the camp crying for their father and mother, and fled in a hurry.

But Wu Ji's face did not have the slightest joy.

Because Zhao Hongrun had already told him that the defeat of the Chu army in front of him was just an illusion deliberately created by Gongsun Po, the commander of the Chu army, and if he continued to order the pursuit, he would be ambushed by the Chu army.

Is that really the case?

Wu Ji had some doubts in his heart.

It's not that he doubted His Royal Highness King Su, but it was this incident that shocked him too much: that Highness had predicted the enemy's actions today? This...... It's incredible!

But facts have proved that Zhao Hongrun's prediction of the Chu army is indeed accurate.

When Wu Ji led the army to pursue the Chu army all the way to a lake more than ten miles northwest of Shou County, behind the forest next to the lake, a Chu army that had already been ambushed here was killed.

"Report! The left front was ambushed by the Chu army! ”

"Report! The right side was ambushed by the Chu army! ”

Unexpectedly...... And so it was!

After receiving the report of the attack on the army, Wu Ji's heart shook violently, and he admired His Royal Highness King Su more and more for his foresight.

Taking a deep breath, he pretended to be panicked and shouted: "The enemy army is cheating, evacuate quickly!" ”

Immediately, he ordered the former army to become the rear army, and the rear army to the front army, and immediately evacuated.

In fact, before the battle, Wu Ji told them Zhao Hongrun's strategy through anger with the generals under his command, so at this moment, after the Shang Shui Army was ambushed by the Chu army, the change of formation also became very fast.

This point aroused the suspicion of Chu General Sun Shuao.

The reaction of this Wei army......

Sun Shuao was a little surprised by the quick reaction of the Shang Shui army, after all, it stands to reason that when an army is ambushed, even if the front army that is ambushed wants to retreat, the soldiers in the rear are likely to continue to rush forward because they don't know the situation in front, so that the formation of the entire army is in chaos.

But the Wei army in front of him, although there was also a little chaos, the speed of quelling the chaos was inevitably too fast.

Could it be ...... That Wei Gongzi Ji Run saw through my plan to lure the enemy?

Sun Shuao's heart beat violently a few times for no reason.

But then, he shook his head secretly and vetoed this possibility.

Because in his opinion, if that Wei Gongzi Ji Run really saw through his plan, why would he let the Wei army chase so deeply? If you see it, you can't accept it?

I have to say that Uncle Sun Ao underestimated the appetite of that Wei Gongzi - the ambition of trying to use this battle to swallow the Chu army in the western suburbs of Shouying.

"Report!"

Several scouts quickly came to Sun Shuao, clasped their fists and said, "General Qiqi, the Wei army is withdrawing the same way, and it seems that they want to escape back to their military camp. ”

"Hmm!" Putting a little bit of crankiness in his heart behind, Uncle Sun Ao smiled slightly.

Because he had long expected that the Wei army would choose to retreat the way it came.

"It's okay, they can't escape!" Uncle Sun Ao swore and said.

At the same time, Wu Ji, who was leading the army to flee to the Wei camp, also noticed that an army under the banner of the Chu army suddenly sprang out from the mountain col ahead.

That Gongsun Po is also a strategic general, but it's a pity that he ran into His Royal Highness......

Wu Ji secretly felt sorry for Gongsun Po, because in his opinion, if Zhao Hongrun did not give him a move this time, he Wu Ji thought that it would be difficult for him to withstand the excitement and temptation of the Chu army.

"To the south! To the south! Get around! Get around! Wu Ji pretended to be panicked and yelled.

General Chu, who led the army in front, heard it clearly, and secretly sneered in his heart: Want to bypass? Dream!

Thinking of this, this Chu general shouted sharply: "Intercept!" Hold them off! ”

However, although there were ambushes in front and pursuers in the rear, the Wei soldiers of the Shang Shui Army were undeniably the strongest infantry among the Central Plains countries, and under the command of Wu Ji and the generals, several teams of sword and shield soldiers rushed up to resist the Chu army in front, allowing Tong Ze behind him to quickly detour south.

This scene fell in the eyes of Sun Shuao in the rear, and he couldn't help but admire the strength of the Wei infantry: in this situation of being attacked by the enemy on their backs, they could still use one as ten, and desperately block the Chu army several times their size with a small force, creating a chance for the rest of the Wei soldiers to escape.

It's just that praise is admiration, but Sun Shuao still gave the order to kill them all.

It's a pity that although he designed it quite cleverly, the strength of the Wei soldiers was far beyond his imagination, especially the Wei generals who personally charged in front of the team, one by one, they were extremely brave.

It's no wonder, after all, the generals in the Shangshui Army, because of the lack of generals at the beginning, were all promoted from the low-level soldiers.

Especially the thousands of generals in the army, all of them are fierce and brave, even if Sun Shuao sees it, he is terrified - he knows very well that the generals in the Shangshui army are all composed of their Chu people, but there are also such fierce warriors among the Chu people?

"Kill!"

"Rush over!"

Under the lead of Ran Teng, Zhang Ming, Xiang Li and other thousand-strong generals, the Wei army finally broke through the encirclement.

It's ...... Brave!

Sun Shuao's eyelids jumped from behind.

"General, Wei Jun...... rushed out......" Seeing that Sun Shuao did not react, several pro-soldiers hurriedly reminded them.

In this regard, Sun Shuao was also helpless.

Originally, his plan was to annihilate all the Wei soldiers lured out, so that it would undoubtedly be much easier to attack the Wei army's camp tomorrow.

However, the strength of this Wei army was far beyond his imagination.

However, in this way, it also strengthened Sun Shuao's determination to annihilate this Wei army.

Because in his opinion, such a fierce Wei soldier must be the elite of the Shang Shui army, if the tiger returns to the mountain, the trouble will be too great!

He looked up at the direction in front of him where the Wei army had fled, and when he found that the direction in which the Wei army had fled had deviated from the location of the Wei army's camp, his heart was suddenly overjoyed.

"Someone, order General Zhong Kui to lead the army to resist the reinforcements of the Wei camp! The rest of the armies, continue to pursue the Wei army! ”

Sun Shuao guessed that the Wei camp would inevitably send troops to support this Wei army, so he prepared in advance.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Wei battalion, which was standing next to the mountain, to learn of the defeat of the soldiers and horses out of the camp, and immediately sent troops to support, but was resisted by the Chu general Zhong Kui with his troops.

As a result, Wu Ji could only flee westward "reluctantly", ran more than ten miles, and fled to Jiaogang.

And behind him, Sun Shuao led tens of thousands of troops in hot pursuit.

It is worth mentioning that during the pursuit of Wu Ji, Sun Shuao scolded in his heart, because the physical strength of the Wei army was generally better than that of the Chu army, so that after chasing, several armies under Sun Shuao fell down due to physical problems.

On the other hand, the Wei soldiers in front of them were almost no one left behind.

Damn it! Are these guys really my Chu people? Can you still run so fast in dozens of pounds of armor? Running so far?

The more Uncle Sun Ao chased, the more anxious he became.

He didn't know that running with weights was originally the most basic training for the Wei infantry.

But now, Sun Shuao can only continue to catch up.

However, he didn't know that at this moment, on the top of the hill called Jiaogang, there was a group of people riding horses standing on it, looking at the Chu army that was chasing the Wei army under the hill.

Among them, there is a young man wearing a sheepskin jacket with a whip mark on his face that stands out the most, this person is the righteous son of the former patriarch of the Qiangjiao tribe, Bitatu, and the current chief of the cavalry in northern Sichuan, Bo Xile.

I saw that he silently watched as those Chu troops entered the intended ambush point, and then raised his right hand and waved: "Up!" ”

"Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-"

Three horn flutes sounded, and immediately, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves came from behind the hills of Jiaogang like rolling thunder.

How......

Hearing this, Uncle Sun's face changed greatly.

At this moment, tens of thousands of cavalry rushed out from behind the hills of Jiaogang, and even swooped down directly on the hills, and the cavalry all over the mountains, like a torrent, crossed the Wei soldiers, passed by them, and rushed into the ranks of the Chu army.

In just the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of troops under Sun Shuao's command had been dispersed by these cavalry.

"Vulnerable!"

Riding his war horse up a high slope, Bosil looked at the Chu army scattered by his northern Sichuan cavalry in the distance, and snorted disdainfully. (To be continued.) )
