Chapter Twenty-Seven: Faster Than Your Horse

Swimming also won gold, unexpected surprise! )

"Report to the general, Gao Chongwen is encamped twenty miles away."

Under the Lutou Pass, two hours ago, Tanma reported that Gao Chongwen's army was forty miles away from the pass, and it was after breakfast at this time, so Qiu Liangfu gave an order, and the 20,000 troops went out of the pass to line up, intending to overwhelm Gao Chongwen's army from the momentum first, who knew that Gao Chongwen was so not on the road, he actually stopped and set up camp, and did not give face to the master who had been preparing for so long. The mood of the generals of the Nishikawa Army must be the same as that of the cast and crew of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, and all their efforts were ruined by the director who did not move to appreciate.

"Well, what kind of fame is this Gao Chongwen. Hit Zizhou to force the city to go down, and hit my Lutouguan but went down to the village fifteen miles away. ”

One of the generals muttered impatiently. It's no wonder that this partial general is impatient, more than 20,000 soldiers waited for an hour in the warm spring breeze, and actually waited for such news, just like a strong man made an appointment to fight with others, warmed up and warmed up for a long time, and the posture was full, winning the applause of the audience, but the other party carried a letter and said, today's weather is good, I want to sleep lazy, a sneeze in the nose, not to fight, not to fight.

From Meixian County to Zizhou, Gao Chongwen walked for more than 50 days, but it only took one night to defeat Gao Chongwen in Zizhou. Gao Chongwen was as slow as a snail when he marched, and as fast as a gust of wind when he started a battle, this is Xing Jun's summary after returning to Xichuan. But Gao Chongwen marched very quickly this time, Qiu Liangfu thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with any intention for Gao Chongwen to do this, could it be that Gao Chongwen was tired on the way to the rapid march? So set up camp and rest, waiting for tomorrow to recover your strength before attacking the city? Qiu Liangfu looked up at the sun, the rare good weather was only until noon, enough time for a battle, and fifteen miles was not too far. If you don't fight today, tomorrow when the Gao Chong Ministry of Culture and Culture recovers its strength, the price will be even greater. Qiu Liangfu finally made up his mind.

"Send out the rangers for two miles. The left side of the left army, the right side of the right army, the rear army of the middle army followed, advanced! ”

As soon as the order came out, the originally strict array was loosened, people shouted and neighed, the dust was flying, the cavalry was in front, the infantry was behind, and groups of men and horses drove out in turn, but fortunately, these 20,000 people were the elite of the Xichuan army, and they were not too chaotic. Su Jiang stood at the juncture and looked into the distance, the army of 20,000 people was really all over the mountains, how spectacular.

Uncle Liu Fang said:

"Our army is so mighty, why worry about the immortality of Gao Chongwen?"

Su Jiang suddenly felt that it was easy to be assaulted, but he immediately came back to his senses, we didn't plan to defend, what are we afraid of? Hurriedly echoed a few words.

Su Jiang's worries were really superfluous, Gao Chongwen didn't want to intercept Qiu Liangfu halfway at all, Gao Chongwen wanted to completely annihilate Qiu Liangfu, and the halfway volley could only defeat Qiu Liangfu and could not achieve his goal.

However, despite this, Gao Chongwen still sent out rangers, with the purpose of delaying the opponent's advance as much as possible and probing the opponent's virtual reality. The task of the rangers sent by Qiu Liangfu is to drive the opponent's probe horses, repel the opponent's interception, quickly advance to the battlefield, and try to rush into the formation to spy on the opponent's reality. So the rangers on both sides began to chase each other.

The horses of the Xichuan army are shorter, known for their endurance and lack of explosiveness, Gao Chongwen's cavalry is from the northwest, and the horses are generally one head taller than the Xichuan horses, with strong explosiveness, and the endurance is slightly lacking, and the other party is a three-way attack, so Li Dingjin, who was ordered to lead the rangers to attack, divided his five hundred cavalry into six units, alternately attacked, and covered each other. As soon as Qiu Liangfu's army was dispatched, Li Dingjin's rangers rushed out, and fifty or sixty people rushed to the place of an arrow like a game, turned over and dismounted, opened their bows and arrows, shot a few of the rangers rushed out of the Xichuan army, and then made a grimace, turned over their horses, and left a large cloud of dust for the Xichuan rangers to eat.

Such a round of harassment was very effective, and after half an hour, Qiu Liangfu's rear army was still in the position of the original front army at Lutou Pass. It's not that the rangers of the Xichuan army don't work hard, seeing that the other party's rangers are divided into three strands (in fact, they are three roads), and the rangers of the Xichuan army are also divided into three strands to drive away, but they chase closer, and the other party escapes closer, stop the horse to continue to provoke, and always keep a distance of one stone's throw away. Who calls his own horse not as fast as the other's?

After several times, a ranger of the Xichuan army finally couldn't bear it anymore and riveted the opponent's cavalry, more than a hundred people ran away with each other, and Qiu Liangfu also wanted to see the reality of the other party, so he didn't stop it. Seeing that the Xichuan army was chasing all the way, the other two rangers of the other party also quickly retreated, seeing that the little general on their side was so heroic, the soldiers of the Xichuan army couldn't help but applaud loudly, feeling that the northern cavalry was nothing more than that, but the cheer just reached the rear army, and it stopped abruptly.

When the cavalry of the other side retreated to a small forest, it suddenly dispersed to both sides, and the pursuers only said that the other party had no way to escape, and their legs were tightly clamped between the belly of the horse, ready to speed up the pursuit, and as soon as they shouted, they saw a large group of cavalry rushing out of the opposite grove, there were one hundred and fifty or sixty people, and the weapons in everyone's hands were raised, and the other party accelerated as soon as they came out of the woods, and they had rushed out, and it was too late to rein in the horse.

The result can be imagined, Li Dingjin rushed in the head, raised the long knife, and hit the opponent's young general head-on, the young general was also not afraid of danger, raised the long lance with both hands to block, only heard the "click", the power in his hand was much lighter, a shadow flashed in front of him, and he felt the coolness of the crispy crisp.

Li Dingjin cut off the opponent's weapon with a knife and split the opponent into two pieces, and the subordinate soldiers couldn't help but raise their morale, while the Xichuan rangers were terrified. Although the number of people on both sides is equal, but the difference in the ability of the cavalry is too big, only one round, the corpse of the Xichuan cavalry is lying on the ground, many war horses are hovering in place, waiting for their masters to get up, and the offensive battle has become a chase battle at this time, the remaining Xichuan cavalry ran back lifelessly, Li Dingjin's cavalry was not in a hurry to chase, only fifty or sixty people hung unhurriedly behind, and the rest were cleaning the battlefield.

Although he couldn't chase closely behind him, he could see the cavalry that his side was responding, but the defeated Xichuan cavalry still pressed his eyes in despair. Qiu Liangfu only now understood that the other two rangers on the other side were not retreating, but outflanking.

The battle of the cavalry proceeded quickly, and when the cavalry that Nishikawa received rushed closer, the head of the last cavalry of the besieged Nishikawa had been cut off, and the battle was over. When the saber was raised, the other party had already withdrawn far away.

"Damn, isn't it just fast on horseback!"

The officer of the Xichuan cavalry scolded loudly, and replied from afar:

"Ye is faster than your horse!"
