Chapter 198: Ake
Suo Jiao light cavalry has always been known for its fast marching speed, if it is only about speed, even the invincible silver snow iron cavalry can only bow to the wind, especially after updating the two pieces of equipment of long sword and crossbow arrow, the weight of the baggage is lighter, which directly doubles the speed.
"What the hell is the other side doing? If you want to fight, you will fight, and you don't know who gave them the courage to fight against the empire in the first place?"
was frequently attacked, and Pan Yue was angry and didn't fight anywhere.
But angry is angry, there is no way to take the Suo Jiao light cavalry, the armor of the Xiao cavalry battalion is too bulky, it is only suitable for formation warfare, and it is not good at running, and after the wall of the Suo Jiao camp is high, it cannot be attacked by force.
Taking advantage of Xiang Yu's harassment in the past few days, the Tubai tribe took the opportunity to open up the underground of Yangpo and Qinling Town.
The tunnel is spacious enough to allow tens of thousands of troops to reach Qinling Town in an instant, and it will not be detected by the light and dark sentinels of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion.
After three days of continuous harassment, on the fourth day, Xiang Yu pulled the formation away as promised, but Pan Yue thought that Suo Jiao Light Cavalry was a repeat of his old tricks, and only symbolically led 20,000 elites to confront him in the air.
But this time, the result was beyond Pan Yue's expectations.
Xiang Yu did not choose to retreat, and after the Suo Qi Feng arrow was shot into the air, 20,000 light horsemen went straight to the Xiao cavalry camp.
"Is this a fraud?"
Pan Yue was confused, and the unarmored light cavalry rushed into the heavy iron cavalry camp, which was tantamount to death.
"Whatever, if you dare to come, I will dare to take all the orders and line up to meet the enemy! Kill a rebel and reward you with a hundred cents. ”
Pan Yue personally led the iron cavalry to meet Xiang Yu.
The reason why he dared to fight so confidently was because he agreed with the Beifu Army to meet today, and with Murong Hao's help, even if 50,000 iron cavalry were transferred out of Qinling Town, it didn't matter.
The two armies were less than half a mile apart, and they were about to meet each other, but the light cavalry suddenly turned his horse's head, dropped all his flags, and hastily retreated.
"Withdrew again? Even the handsome flag was lost? Could it be that they knew that the Beifu army was moving closer to our side? So they coaxed the thinking of the Yanzhou barbarians, normal people really can't understand it, I really don't know how they defeated the two commanders, Hai Yunfan and Qin Lan?"
Pan Yue stopped in place, did not dare to pursue rashly, and looked fixedly, the camp of the Yanzhou New Army was quite chaotic, and even the handsome flag symbolizing military prestige was thrown away in the mud puddle at will.
"The sentry cavalry passed my order, and reported the good news to Nangong Zaicheng, and I rode the camp in Qinling Town to break the thief army, kill thousands of enemies, and capture the Yanzhou Shuai Banner. ”
After determining that Suojiao's light cavalry was defeated and fled, Pan Yue immediately led the army to chase after him.
After chasing forty or fifty miles, but it was still a step too late, the Suo Jiao light cavalry had already withdrawn into the fortifications, the city wall was too high, and the cavalry battalion had no siege equipment, so it could not enter at all.
"Running like a rabbit, I can't catch up, so I can only wait for Murong Hao's reinforcements to attack the city again. ”
The pursuit was fruitless, and Pan Yue had to return the same way and pick up the flag as proof of his triumphant return.
After traveling more than ten miles, he encountered a remnant of soldiers along the way, and looking at its tattered armor, he was sure that it was his own brother.
"What the hell is going on? Don't panic, speak slowly. ”
"General Pan, Qinling Town was breached by the Yanzhou rebels, and the brothers were killed and wounded countless times, so a few hundred of us escaped. ”
"Fuck your mother, what nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight? There are my sentry horses all the way, where did the rebels come from? Could it be that they will fly away?"
In order to prevent the sneak attack of the Yanzhou rebels, Pan Yue set up forty or fifty light and dark posts along the road in advance to closely monitor the movements of the Yangpo rebels. The 20,000 iron horsemen of the cavalry battalion immediately abandoned their horses and armor and rushed to the interior of the canyon on foot, but the continuous stone walls in front of them blocked their way, and the soldiers circled along the stone walls, but did not find any way out.
The so-called canyon is actually a dead end with only entrances and no exits, like a gourd mouth, as long as you go in, don't think about finding other ways to break through.
Knowing this, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion had to obediently drill inside.
Outside is the encirclement of tens of thousands of legions, the number is immeasurable for the time being, this is their only hope of survival, but they never thought that they fell into the trap, if there are no reinforcements, they can only wait for death.
Jiang Feng's tent had a high-precision war sand table, with an error of no more than two millimeters, and the terrain and landforms within a radius of hundreds of miles were all placed in front of him, and he was originally deliberately driving Pan Yue into the canyon.
The entrance was blocked with 5,000 shield soldiers, and flags were planted on the cliffs at both ends.
Seeing this, Pan Yue only dared to occupy the high ground to defend, and did not dare to forcibly break through, and there was still a glimmer of life in the defense, and the breakthrough might be wiped out.
"Xiang Yu, you immediately lead two thousand Suo Qi light cavalry to cover Long Yun's retreat from Heming Peak, make way for Murong Hao's Beifu army, and let them come over. ”
After all, the Xiaocai Battalion is the trump card of the forbidden army, the descendant of the lineage, and the Beifu Army can only be regarded as a princely force at best, and its status is not at the same level at all.
If Pan Yue asked for help, Murong Hao didn't dare not come to reinforcements.
In the evening of the same day, Pan Yue used to pass the book with flying pigeons, and was intercepted by the Winged Terran halfway, this time Jiang Feng did not do anything, and directly released the pigeons, and the letter paper was sealed with a special seal, if it was dismantled without authorization, it was easy for Murong Hao to notice the abnormality.
The content of the letter does not need to be guessed, you can guess the approximate situation, it is nothing more than wanting the Beifu army to rush to the aid of Qinling Town.
"Winged Terran, pass my order, let Frost Yi and the Mole out of the pass, the wizard group will set up a swamp illusion on the plain forty miles away from Qinling Town, and the Tubai tribe is responsible for hollowing out the soil below the illusion, causing the effect of devouring. ”
Jiang Feng looked at the war sand table, and said with a slight bow: "Luofengpo, good name, if Shuangyi and the mole can successfully deceive the Beifu army, then they can only pass through this sheep intestine path, and after they enter Luofengpo, Chu He, you lead the remaining Longqiang arrow array, set up an ambush at both ends of the cliff, and the shield soldiers go around to block the retreat, and wait until the arrow array is over, and then the Suo Ji light cavalry is responsible for the pursuit, and the Beifu army will be wiped out in one fell swoop."
If there is any sign of a large-scale troop transfer, the sentry cavalry will definitely report in advance, and even if one outpost is bypassed, the forty or fifty sentinels cannot be bypassed.
What's more, there are also secret sentinels dressed as villagers and hunters?
"General, the brothers really don't know, as soon as they picked up the rice bowl, they were surrounded by rebels, because it was the time of the meal, and the soldiers didn't even touch their weapons, and the camp was washed in blood. ”
"What do you mean, I'm 30,000 heavily armed iron riders...... All of them have been wiped out?"
"The brothers are also desperately fighting their way out of the encirclement before they have the opportunity to report to you. The remnants explained tremblingly.
"I think you are greedy for life and afraid of death, so you deliberately escaped from the battle. ”
Pan Yue's head was hot, he vomited blood on the spot, fell to the ground from his horse, and said tremblingly: "Bury these deserters alive on the spot to set an example." ”
"General Pan, the road leading to Qinling Town has been blocked by the shield array, and we have no way to retreat. ”。
The sentry hurried to report.
"Newspaper! Suo Jiao light horse turned back again, and was only ten miles away from us. ”
