Yang Ping'an didn't understand the cart or something, he just saw the "soil tank" invented by the Eighth Route Army during the Anti-Japanese War on the screen and in books, but it was this kind of "soil tank" that made the afraid army suffer heavy losses.

Seeing the soldiers and horses outside the city approaching the moat, the rebels at the head of the city "entertained" with a rain of arrows as always, and when the other party got closer, the city gate was opened, and the cavalry in the city came out, and ran to the chariot first as usual, and no one could dump the earth and stones in the chariot into the moat.

Thousands of rebel cavalry struck out of the city at a gallop, all armed with long blades, and struck at the chariots protected by shield soldiers.

With the change of dynasties and the development of more and more perfect, seeing that Xue Song's army finally came up with decent siege equipment, the Caozhou guard sneered in his heart: Do you think that hiding the earth and stones in it can confuse me?

So he ordered that a thousand elite cavalrymen who had been preparing for a long time behind the city gate would come out with torches in hand, burn the carts and kill people, so as to hold the moat.

Thousands of cavalry didn't care, rushed to kill, and the hundreds of shield soldiers guarding the chariot suddenly dispersed, without even the most basic resistance, throwing the chariot in vain in front of the other party, letting the other party ignite,

Just when the enemy cavalry rushed out of the city, Xue Yufeng took the lead, and a hundred personal soldiers followed, and more than 2,000 cavalry horses from the guard camp poured out of the nest and killed the enemy cavalry.

Seeing this, the rebel defenders at the head of the city hurriedly ordered a salvo to slow down the approach of the soldiers and horses of the escort battalion, and increase the time for their cavalry to go out of the city to kill the enemy and return to the city.

The cavalry of the rebels out of the city did not care about the army of the garrison, and were about to chase and kill the shield soldiers to expand the results of the battle, but at this moment, the leather on all the chariots was lifted, and a number of soldiers in full armor jumped out of them, most of them holding hook and sickle guns, hooking the horse's legs.

For a while, the horses neighed and fell, and the rebels were caught off guard, and for a time people turned on their backs.

The remaining soldiers and horses that jumped out of the cart were all armed with long spears, just waiting to fall down the rebels, but all the cavalry who fell off the horse because the horse's legs were broken and fell off the horse were pierced into a honeycomb in the blink of an eye, and turned into blood.

"Medium, retreat."

The leader of the cavalry reacted quickly, hurriedly organized the remaining soldiers and horses, and dared to retreat into the city before the guard camp led by Xue Yufeng rushed over.

But when they turned their horses' heads, they saw that in front of the drawbridge at the city gate, the shield soldiers who had just broken up were blocked there at some point, and hundreds of people were divided into front and back, and they were waiting for each other in layers, and they could not penetrate with their shields, and even if the rebel cavalry charged on horseback, it would be difficult to disperse them, unless there were rebels in the city who came to the rescue.

At this time, Xue Yufeng had already thrown his own soldiers and rushed through the city to rush through the rain of arrows to approach the enemy's cavalry, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were only thirty or fifty paces away.

Of course, not all the soldiers and horses in the guard camp have gone into battle, at least there are more than a hundred and dozens of people guarding the same place, there are dozens of wheeled vehicles parked next to them, which are full of earth and stones, watching the fierce battle under the city of Caozhou from a distance, people on their backs and horses splashing blood and killing all over the sky, they are shocked in their hearts, and from time to time someone peeks at one of them,

This person is naturally Yang Ping'an, it is precisely because of his idea that Xue Yufeng nodded, the Huotou Army does not have to go into battle, otherwise they don't know how many of the more than 100 people will come down.

"Brother Xiucai, high." An Lushan gave a thumbs up, "After this battle is over, the eldest brother will definitely be promoted, and don't forget the younger brother when the time comes." ”

Hey, I remember that you really want to be a few years older than me, Yang Ping'an looked at An Lushan, and sighed in his heart, the cunning side of this fat man is finally gradually revealed, but at least he is more loyal and sincere than Yang Guo, but think about it, An Lushan in history is indeed not a simple character,

Just as they were thinking, suddenly a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from behind them, and hundreds of cavalry kicked up thick dust and smoke, and in the blink of an eye, they came to the place where the guard camp was stationed,

This is the five hundred cavalry of the forward battalion, and it is Xue Yulong who leads the troops.

Xue Song has always paid attention to the changes in Caozhou City, after all, Xue Yufeng issued a military order to delay the siege time, just to completely annihilate the enemy's thousands of cavalry, and fill in the moat in one fell swoop.

The changes that took place under the city of Caozhou, Xue Song had a full view, worried that the rebels in the city would fight and respond, and Xue Yufeng was under siege, so he ordered Xue Yulong to lead the forward battalion of 500 cavalry to reinforce first, and a total of 6,000 cavalry from the Xiao cavalry battalion and the hussar battalion immediately assembled, and then rushed over.

"General Xue stays." Seeing Xue Yulong leading the troops into a gust of wind and galloping past him, Yang Ping'an hurriedly shouted loudly, but the former was anxious in his heart, remembering Xue Yufeng's safety, plus the horse's hooves rumbled, he didn't hear his shout at all,

Yang Ping'an wanted to shout again, but he heard a louder sound of horses' hooves coming from behind him, turned his head to look, and saw the cavalry of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Hussar Battalion stepping on the billowing smoke and dust, appearing in his sight.

This group of idiots,

Yang Ping'an cursed in his heart, and then waved his hand and ordered: "Everyone obey the order, push the wheeled cart away, and get out of the way." ”

Before Xue Yufeng charged, he ordered him to command all the firehead troops, just waiting for the city to be swept away, and he organized all the firehead troops to bulldoze and fill the river.

All the fireheads got busy, pushed the wheeled carts full of earth and stones, and made way for the cavalry of the second battalion of hussars to pass.

Accounting for Yang Ping'an's light, An Lushan didn't have to do this physical work, but just accompanied Yang Ping'an to a shade: "Brother Xiucai, why do I feel that you are not very happy." ”

Can I be happy, Xue Yulong led people to rush like this, how can the gate of Caozhou be opened?

In Yang Ping'an's design, the encirclement and annihilation of thousands of rebel soldiers is just the beginning, the shield soldiers guard the city gate, and the hidden soldiers in the chariot are responsible for containment, buying time for Xue Yufeng to lead the troops to rush and kill.

The beginning was very good, Xue Yufeng had already led the army to rush to the city, entangled with the enemy cavalry, if the Caozhou defenders wanted to keep the thousand cavalry, they could only send troops out of the city, at least to disperse the shield soldiers blocking the city gate, disperse Xue Yufeng's soldiers and horses, and take the remaining cavalry back to the city,

This is the best time to break through Caozhou City,

He has already put his plan together, Xue Yufeng knows very well that once the Caozhou city gate is opened and the drawbridge is lowered, she will lead the troops to fight with the enemy army with all their might, and rush out of a road with cavalry, so that the shield soldiers have the opportunity to block the city gate, so that the drawbridge has no chance to be closed, and the city gate cannot be closed.

At this time, Xue Song sent all the cavalry of the Right Route Army to rush to kill and rush directly into the city of Caozhou, and then the infantry caught up, striving to capture Caozhou in one fell swoop.

But at present, the 6,000 cavalry of the cavalry battalion and the hussar battalion launched a charge in advance, and the Caozhou garrison did not dare to open the city gate, so he could only bear to sacrifice the thousand cavalry who went out of the city.

Sure enough, when the cavalry of the second battalion of Xiao cavalry and hussars covered and killed under the city of Caozhou, the rebels at the head of the city did not care that there were hundreds of their own cavalry under the city, and the arrows were like rain, regardless of the enemy and me.

For a time, there were shouts, shouts, and howls under the city of Caozhou, and the scene was chaotic, under the cover of the shield soldiers, the soldiers and horses of each battalion turned around and retreated, leaving only some of the rebel cavalry that had not yet been raised, and fell in a pool of blood and groaned.

After the shield soldiers withdrew, they immediately covered the Huotou army to push a cart of earth and stone to the Caozhou moat, and some of the shield soldiers also shouldered the heavy responsibility of bringing back the enemy's wounded soldiers and their own wounded soldiers along the way.

At the same time, Xue Yufeng led the guard battalion, Xue Yulong led the forward battalion of 500 cavalry, as well as the second battalion of Xiao cavalry and hussars, waiting for the rebels in the city to kill again to stop the river reclamation.

The loss of more than 1,000 cavalry at once, especially many people still died in their own hands, which greatly reduced the morale of the rebels in the city.

The sun is setting, dusk is coming, and the day's battle is finally over,

The entire moat of Caozhou City has been filled, and the thousand cavalry of the enemy army have been annihilated, Xue Song was overjoyed, and ordered to kill pigs and sheep, and reward the three armies.

The tooth sacrifice is not so easy to fight, and the veterans know that the most difficult moment is coming,

Filling the moat is only the first step, and then there is a tragic and bloody siege battle, the ants are attached to the siege of the city, a large number of soldiers, like ants, attack the head of the city, short soldiers fight each other, you live and die,

Yang Ping'an stayed leisurely in the tent, listening to An Lushan's command outside the tent, and began to plan for escape in his mind again.

Today, the fierce battle under the city of Caozhou, seeing his heart beating, although there is still a faint feeling of blood boiling, but knowing that Xue Yufeng's hundred personal soldiers lost two or three out of ten in this battle, the feeling of blood boiling was completely suppressed,

According to the veterans in the army, such as An Lushan, this is just the beginning, far from being tragic, and when the siege war officially begins, Yang Ping'an will understand what war is.

War is a huge meat grinder for junior officers and soldiers.

One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither,

These two sentences kept circling in Yang Ping'an's mind, making him put the escape plan that had been shelved for many days back onto the journey.

How do you escape?

"General."

"See General."

"General."

While thinking about it, there was a sound of worship outside the tent, and after a while, Xue Yufeng opened the tent curtain in armor and walked in, this is the first time since Xue Jie's death, Xue Yufeng took the initiative to find Yang Ping'an,

With his eyes closed, Yang Ping'an knew what Xue Yufeng was looking for him, so he simply lay on the couch, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

"Yang Ping'an, everyone has praised me today, including my father, who has praised me for my great achievements."

Xue Yufeng's heart was excited, not only did he fill up the moat of Caozhou, but also wiped out a thousand rebel cavalry, according to the information that Xue Song had, the rebels in Caozhou City only had 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the cavalry was no more than 3,000.

The two armies fought, and the cavalry's charging power and mobility played an extremely important role, and now it is said that at least one-third of the enemy's cavalry will be annihilated in one fell swoop, how can it not make Xue Song and other generals happy, and bluntly said that Xue Yufeng made the first contribution,

Xue Yufeng, who was held into a flower, was patiently excited, and after the dinner of the generals of the battalions of the Chinese army, he hurried to find Yang Ping'an.

"Hey, wake up, don't pretend to sleep with your aunt and grandmother." Passionate about sticking to the cold buttocks, Xue Yufeng was annoyed in her heart, and kicked Yang Ping'an twice on her calves, "Hurry up and tell me, do you have any other siege plans." ”
