Chapter 150: Here it is
They slowly retreated from them almost in a swaggering way. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
According to He Cai's introduction, these people came from Henan County, Yuzhou.
Henan County, Yuzhou, that should be Henan! After the Huns robbed Henan before, they generally did not come to their side again. They will go straight back to the outside of the plug.
But this time, for some reason, they took a detour, which is really a little strange.
And the women they had taken captive could not go fast at all. There are also some cattle and sheep, which also slowed down their retreat.
This made the speed of these Huns not very fast. In addition, the Huns themselves did not want to march in a hurry, so Ritsukagawa was able to rush ahead of them and set up an ambush on them.
About 1,000 Hun soldiers, I didn't expect anyone to dare to set up an ambush for them! As far as they knew, there weren't any very powerful forces in the area.
But who says that it takes absolutely powerful forces to dare to attack them? Sometimes when he encounters a commander who is like a two-pole, he simply feels that he can't swallow this breath, and he will also take 5,000 infantry to provoke their more than 1,000 cavalry.
Ritsu Kagawa is this second pole, and the Huns have miscalculated a little this time.
Infantry assault cavalry, if there is no suddenness, even the hair of people can not be touched. Therefore, Ritsukagawa can only rush to the front of the opponent and set up an ambush.
However, setting up an ambush in such a field can inflict a big blow on the other party, Ritsukagawa really doesn't know. The terrain here still feels too wide to limit the cavalry at all.
However, this is already the narrowest section. Elsewhere, it is more difficult for them to set up ambushes. There are at least high mountains on both sides. When the terrain arrives here, it is all confined to the middle, so that this area forms a place like a person's neck.
Then out of here, there was a wide flat area in front and back.
So what are they going to do?
"Cut down trees!"
After inspecting the position for a long time, Ritsukagawa issued his first order after coming here.
Trees are certainly not cut down for firewood. He was there to be a barricade and set up camp. Since he could not rely on the natural topography to contain the Huns, he could only artificially create obstacles.
His plan was to build a barracks here. Infantry against cavalry, it is impossible to win by the charge, he can only rely on the barracks to form a certain block to the Hun cavalry, and then use the infantry in the barracks to shoot the cavalry non-stop, so that it is possible to have a slight chance of victory.
Under normal circumstances, the cavalry would not necessarily confront them like this, and the tactics of the cavalry were to make roundabouts and rob and kill, and it was impossible to confront them head-on.
But the area here is narrow, and the Huns basically have no room for maneuver except for rushing back and forth, so he doesn't have to worry too much about his flanks at that time.
And if the other party is worried that it will not be cost-effective to attack them head-on, and retreats by himself, then it is really thankful, Ritsu Kagawa's original purpose is not to fight these Hun cavalry to the end, he just wants to take back those women who were robbed by the Huns.
It would be best if the other party saw that they had a strong fort here, and took the initiative to retreat.
The key question now was how they were going to snatch the women out of the hands of the Huns. That's the hardest part.
For the spoils of war, of course, the Huns would be very tightly protected, how could they be robbed by others so easily?
So at first they had to rely on surprise attacks. Surprised, the brigade of men and horses rushed straight to the opponent's central army, and after entrapping those women hostages, they formed a camp on the spot to resist the cavalry counterattack after coming to their senses.
Of course, all of these actions have to be fast, can they do such a quick response?
Hopefully! The Mandarin Duck Formation should have trained his soldiers in their ability to coordinate and cooperate, as long as the soldiers cooperate properly. They will definitely be able to achieve his tactical arrangement.
"My lord, the captives are less than a mile away from us." He came to report to him.
Ritsu Kagawa's heart tightened slightly, is the battle about to start?
"Pass it on today, let all the departments obey the order, and when the time comes, they will work together, and no one will be allowed to delay their actions." Ritsu Kagawa said coldly to He Cai. The nervousness had made his palms sweat. He was also a little apprehensive in his heart.
By this time 5,000 of them had set up an ambush on the hills on both sides. When the Huns advanced, they remained silent until the Huns had all entered this narrow area, and then they suddenly rushed out and rushed straight to the opponent's central army. After snatching the female captives, they were protected on the spot, and then slowly withdrew from the mountains on both sides.
At this time, the Huns will definitely carry out a crazy counterattack against them, so they must be able to quickly form a phalanx and form an effective defense against the enemy for a certain period of time.
He had already laid out all the action instructions to Liu Zhilin and them in detail, and now it was up to everyone's execution. If the execution is not deviated, they will definitely be able to defeat their opponents.
……
At first, only a few war horses appeared in Ritsukagawa's eyes. These were probably just the so-called vanguard troops of the Huns in front of the wind, and then, more men and horses appeared.
The Hun cavalry of the brigade appeared in the field in front of them. The men were dressed in leather jackets, and some were even shirtless.
They sat on horseback, their expressions relaxed and relaxed, and their eyes kept looking around. It is clear that these people did not make a state of combat readiness.
Along the way, everyone is shunning them and running away, why should they be scared of themselves?
In the end, these people are just a group of stronger bandits, not the kind of strong cavalry with strict discipline.
And after the first nearly 1,000 rides, a group of unkempt and ragged weak women appeared in the middle. From a distance, there was no expression on the women's faces, they just walked numbly and step by step.
Their lives have been subjected to this drastic change, and their relatives have probably been killed by the gang of robbers in front of them, and their husbands and children have probably died tragically at the hands of these Hun cavalry.
And they themselves were also exiled and humiliated, and their tears have dried up since this time! Now I want to find out what kind of expression I want from their faces, which is really a bit extravagant.
What expressions can they have now other than numbness? Fear and despair have been worn out in the last few days.
At first, they may have fantasized about who would come to their rescue, but none of them came in the way, let alone rescued them.
What hope can they keep alive?
Now they walked on this plain sandwiched between these two mountains, surrounded by strange and vicious men of different races, who looked indifferent, sometimes lewd, and laughed at them from time to time, but they could only endure it.
What kind of fate will they be greeted all the way north?
Who knows?
One of the women looked up and looked around by chance, and suddenly, her expression froze for a moment, and she felt that her eyes had missed something. So I looked back and saw a young man on a red tasseled white horse on one side of the green hill, smiling at her.
This smile almost made her faint, and her tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes. This is her kindred. Only her people are so handsome and have such a smile.
For more than ten days, she had not seen her own relatives. When I saw it at this time, how could I not let her cry with excitement.
But when she wiped away her tears and looked closer, she found that the boy was not riding a white horse, nor was he smiling at her. She couldn't even make out his face.
That moment just now was just an illusion in her mind, she just saw the young man, and thus made up that picture in her own brain.
But so what? The boy on the ridge is her hero. In the midst of thousands of people's evasions, he appeared here, only to save them. That's enough to make her grateful for the rest of her life.
Next, she saw countless heads whizzing towards them. The sound of the bowstring collapsing and the whistling of sharp arrows is also endless. The group of Yi soldiers around him were shouting and jumping and making a mess.
