Three hundred and sixty-eight encounters
Lu Qian's infantry army on the flank was mostly cavalry, accounting for about fifty percent, otherwise he would not have let him wander on the flank. Most of these 5,000 cavalry are the elite cavalry of Wuhuan in the three counties, and Cao Wei is considered to be a superb horseman, except for the equipment is almost there, the rest are first-class.
On the Jiangdong side, in the eyes of the Wei army, there are naturally a large number of cavalry, except for some generals and personal guards who can ride, of course, this number represents the identity of the individual, and the rest of the soldiers do not have many cavalry who are good at riding. On the Eastern Front, except for Dai Gang's ghost face knight, he thought that there were no cavalry with more than 100 people, but even this ghost face knight was taken to Xuzhou by Dai Gang.
Therefore, at this time, the group of Wuhuan cavalry who often followed Lu Qian was a very powerful existence. This is also Wang Ling's desire to go out of the city to fight a battle, the difference in the marching speed of cavalry and infantry is obvious, even if the flank led by Sun Shaoqin and Lu Qian's infantry cavalry corps are the same distance from Qiao County, but Lu Qian undoubtedly came faster and more fiercely......
Although Man Chongzi has been busy in Qiaoxian County, building the fortifications in the city, but no matter who it is, this kind of situation of always being beaten passively is always not happy, not to mention that it will be lost for a long time, but such a thing will not happen.
The reason why Man Pet continued to build those fortifications in the city was also just in case. Of course, if he can break the opportunity to break through the Jiangdong camp outside the city, he will also take the initiative to seize it.
Now, although Wang Ling mentioned Lu Qian who was wandering on the flanks, and the cavalry in Lu Qian's hands, he did not hope that Lu Qian would be able to break through the Jiangdong battalion, after all, the strength gap was limited and the difference in strength could not match the ratio of superiority and inferiority in numbers.
As I said before, the full favor at this time just hopes to open up the atmosphere that smells depressing in Qiaoxian County at this time. Maybe it's all the inductions in the heart of the full pet. Lu Qian, who is hundreds of miles away, is also thinking about how to lead 10,000 people to play a role in the current situation these days.
The previous Lu Qian also led the soldiers to explore the grain route of the Wu army, and he also deliberately destroyed it, so he led an army of 10,000 before he arrived in Qiao County, and there were several ambushes, but the effect was unsatisfactory, after all, Sun Shao at that time naturally knew that their army was certainly outnumbered, but because of this, it was also a great test for the supply of grain and grass in logistics, so for the transportation of grain and grass in the rear. He was much more cautious, but because of this, Lu Qian did not gain much from using his brains on the grain route of the Wu army.
However, it was precisely because of this that Lu Qian put his mind on the camp of the Jiangdong Army outside Qiaoxian County. After all, although George seems to have a noble status, people who are familiar with Wu Guo know it. George was only Qiao Ren's adopted son, and he had never led an army into battle before. How many abilities are unknown. But Lu Qian, who is a man of his own, thinks that the son of a prince who has not been trained can have some ability, and if it is the famous Lujiang Qiao Xun, he can still look up to a few points.
After Sun Shao left, Wu Jun naturally had several empty camps, but they had no intention of demolishing these idle camps. The guards in every direction, the watchtowers, the antlers and the horses are still well preserved, and every night, the bonfires near the Wu army extend far along their camp. But it was because George was afraid that someone would take advantage of the situation to sneak in. And the campfires outside the camp are more arranged. Although he was a little dissatisfied with George's caution, seeing such a posture, Lu Qian had little to do for a while.
After all, the other party is cautious and cautious, which naturally makes them have a lot of opportunities to take advantage of. However, Lu Qian was not discouraged. Although he didn't have any thoughts about the camp anymore, he did have thoughts about the Ding Fengsuo department that came to see him.
Lu Qian didn't know what orders Ding Feng had received from Sun Shao, and he didn't know what kind of instructions he had given to Ding Feng during the time that George was in charge of the camp.
At this time, outside Qiaoxian County, the camp of the Wu army was only five miles away from the south of Qiaoxian County, and the reason why the camp of the Wu army was so close to Qiaoxian was because the Wu army wanted to suppress the space of the Wei side to the death, and did not give the Wei characters in the city any space to use. Of course, they also did this to reduce the time required for those siege equipment to go back and forth every time the army attacked, and now that it was so close, it was natural that those high-level siege equipment built by the Wu army could quickly enter the battlefield and exert pressure on the Wei soldiers at the head of the city.
However, the camp of the Wu army was less than five miles away from the county seat of Qiao, and the camp of Lu Qian's headquarters was only less than one hundred and five miles away from the city of Qiao County, while the headquarters of Ding Feng was sixty miles away from the camp of the Wu army, that is, less than fifty miles away from Lu Qian.
Seeing such a situation, Lu Qian had the intention to test what Ding Feng could do with his more than 10,000 people. In the end, it was about one hundred and twenty miles away from the Wu army camp that Lu Qian and the others were already about 120 miles away, and Ding Feng finally followed them again.
Seeing this, Lu Qian confirmed that this was the limit of Ding Feng's department, and at this time, Ding Feng and them were only eighty miles away from the Wu army's camp. Such a distance can be reached in only a few hours if the cavalry runs, and for the foot soldiers, if it is in the dark, it may take a night's time, and it is impossible to walk.
Therefore, after this discovery, Lu Qian began to move the idea of annihilating Ding Feng's Wu army. In the past ten years, Cao Wei has suffered defeats in a row, to be precise, Emperor Wu of Wei has not had any record of making a move since he was in Hanzhong. At a time when morale is low, the Wei army is in desperate need of a victory to regain faith. It was for this purpose that Lu Qian's army moved.
On this day, it was a moonless night, but for the Wei army with a heart, the bonfires outside the Wu army camp of Ding Feng were the best guiding light.
For the soldiers who had a bonfire to point out the direction, they walked on the road they had retreated to before, but they didn't need much effort, and they quickly rushed outside the camp of Ling Cao.
The night is dark and the wind is high, when the people kill and set fires
According to Lu Qian's command, this guy was originally to kill people and set fire to the Wei soldiers, but they came to launch this night attack battle at the halfway point of the second watch, although the Wu soldiers were naturally very well guarded, but it seemed that because of the peace and quiet for many days, the Wu soldiers still had some slackness, and when Lu Qian let the army enter, it was also a time when people were easy to get sleepy.
In the darkness of the night, one side will not obstruct his vision because of the hazy night, while the other side is weak when he suddenly wakes up after a deep sleep, in this case, although Ding Feng quickly commanded his soldiers to gather their spirits to suppress the situation, but this situation is not so easy to maintain.
Just when Lu Qian was very happy, the originally flustered Wu soldiers seemed to have received some order, and a pair of guards who slept in their clothes extinguished the torches and bonfires that were originally burning one by one with plaster and water. Lu Qian didn't know what Wu Jun was doing, but in his opinion, Wu Jun was dying and fighting back, and extinguishing the torches was just to escape at night.
However, on the contrary, LĂź Qian not only did not change his prejudice about the lack of horses in the Wu army, but also did not learn the lesson of Cao Xiu's defeat, what he did not know was that the Wu army had almost no night blindness.
When the bonfire was extinguished, the five thousand Wei cavalry were immediately blinded, but the Wu soldiers were wide-eyed, holding the sharp ring-headed knife in their hands and howling to greet the Wei army. (To be continued......)
