To the east of the transport force, Lu Shuang and Cheng Hui led 5,000 heavy cavalry to ambush in a hidden wood, which they set off at three or four o'clock in the morning and arrived there in advance, and the scouts sent by the general failed to detect it in time.

"Lord, as expected, the Xianbei man really sent two thousand cavalry to intercept it." Cheng Hui reported.

"Okay, according to the plan, the ones on the other side should also be ready to act, and tell the soldiers to prepare and annihilate them in one fell swoop." Lu Shuang said.

"Yes."

Lu Shuang's purpose in sending the 1,000th-order light cavalry was definitely not to contain the main force of the escorting army, but to use the principle of the "wolf coming" story to paralyze the other party.

After the general sent three thousand cavalry to intercept the light cavalry, the powerful general suddenly felt a tremor in the earth, and a bad premonition came to the general's heart.

"The general is not good, a large number of heavy cavalry have appeared in the west, and now it is less than ten miles away from here." Another lieutenant hurriedly ran over and said loudly.

The general didn't have time to stop it, and the surrounding transport soldiers heard it, which immediately caused a huge panic.

"You don't have to worry, even if it's the Emperor Lao Tzu who comes, it won't hurt half of your cold hair." The general hurriedly stabilized the morale of the army and assured.

However, he leaned into the ear of the adjutant general and asked, "Those scouts are really a group of rice buckets, and they actually gave the heavy cavalry such a close position to receive the news, what is going on?" ”

The adjutant general's face was embarrassed, and he said: "General Hui, this heavy cavalry should have hidden in a place in advance, evaded the scout's patrol, and then launched an attack when it was closest to our army." ”

"Hmph, what's the use of talking about this now, I want to know how many people and strength the other party has?"

"The subordinates are incompetent, the movement of these heavy cavalry when charging is too great, and it can only be judged that there are thousands of cavalry, about four or five thousand..."

"It seems that this is their real strength." The distance of ten miles is not far for the cavalry, and the general must respond within a minute or two, and ordered: "You go with 20,000 horses, this should be their main force, even if you fight to the death, you can't let them get close here, understand?" ”

"The subordinates understand, and the subordinates will definitely complete the task." The lieutenant knelt down on one knee and said.

"Hurry up and arrange it, they're almost there."

After the adjutant general retreated, the corners of the general's mouth rose proudly, and he boasted that he had seen through Lu Shuang's plan: first, he sent a small team of cavalry to harass him and make a test; Then the main heavy cavalry was sent over, and the Xianbei forces would definitely not let them get close to the transport troops under the pressure of the heavy cavalry, so they could only send enough men and horses out to meet them, so that there would not be many remaining men and horses; In the end, they sent people over and destroyed their grain and grass and things like that, but they didn't know that what was waiting for them was the ace troops of the Xianbei forces.

For the sake of insurance, the general still ordered his subordinates to send a message to the base camp and ask them to send someone out to answer.

After two or three quarters of an hour had passed, a scout came galloping on horseback, came to the general, dismounted, and said: "General, our army has been engaged in battle with the enemy in front, and although the other side has only 3,000 men, its strength is strong, and it may be difficult for our army to win in a short time. ”

"Okay, let's go down."

The ominous premonition in the general's heart is getting heavier and heavier, the other party is facing 20,000 sixth-order cavalry head-on with 3,000 heavy cavalry, although the heavy cavalry does have a certain advantage in hand-to-hand combat, and the heavy cavalry of the Han Dynasty generally uses spears as weapons, which are an inch long and an inch strong on the battlefield, but the gap in numbers is so large, and it is estimated that it can still ask 20,000 sixth-order cavalry to fight hard, which is estimated to be comparable to this ace army in his hand.

Powerful heavy cavalry?

The general recalled carefully, and had heard that there were wolf cavalry in the Bingzhou area, which was not inferior to the Xianbei cavalry, but the number was not very large. In the investigation before the war, it was learned that Wang Zhi's Bingzhou wolf cavalry was only more than 3,000 and less than 4,000, and there were 3,000 heavy cavalry in the previous battle. Unless it is a matter of life and death, Wang Zhi dares to do this.

But what if this cavalry is not Wang Zhi's?

The general suddenly thought of this question, Xianbei can be said to be a nation on horseback, and the output of high-quality cavalry will definitely be more, even if the 30,000 people he escorts are replaced by 4,000 wolf riders, the leader is also acceptable, and maybe he will be greatly rewarded to him, who let Wang Zhi only have so many wolf riders. But if it weren't for Wang Zhi's, it was other forces with more heavy cavalry, then the opponent's strength might not only be the three thousand heavy cavalry, but even more hidden.

This thought flashed through him, but the general stood still, because before he set out, he had heard some people who had failed in the previous raids and fled back to the north say that the Han Dynasty had not known when it had added an unusually powerful heavy cavalry with a number of about 10,000, and it was heard that it was still a player force. At that time, the generals thought it was very funny after hearing it, and there was no need to find these interfaces to make excuses for failure, a force of inhumans could have more than 10,000 heavy cavalry? If there is one, Lao Tzu pulls x upside down.

But what if, really?

The general was just about to give the order to let the escort troops drop the transport troops and directly escort those few things back, but the situation on the battlefield was uncertain.

When they passed through a forest that was only three or four miles away, the sound of the earth shaking erupted from the originally dead woods, and countless cavalrymen in black armor rushed out. The general's mind was blank for a while, but no matter how stupid people were, they knew that there was an ambush here, and the other party was menacing, like a black cloud pressing over, overwhelming everyone.

This is the heavy cavalry?

When the general saw the heavily armed cavalry, holding a hundred steel spears that flashed with cold light, under the charge of five thousand men, anyone would feel that no one could resist such a charge. The general has fought with the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, and ordinary special troops can be transferred as long as B qualifications, although when choosing, it must be a seventh-order soldier to be transferred to a state wolf cavalry, but there are not many Bingzhou wolf cavalry who can become an eighth-order soldier, and the same is true for their Xianbei cavalry, and the seventh-order ordinary special troops are weaker than the eighth-order soldiers.

And the heavy cavalry that appeared in front of him, just inferred from the equipment, must be an eighth-order soldier, and the eighth-order soldier equipped with fifth-level equipment is far better than the effect of seventh-order soldiers and fourth-level equipment, especially when charging, this distance is enough for them to charge.

The general's scalp was numb, and at this moment he wanted to lead his troops to escape from here. It's not that he wants to be a deserter, as a king-level pinnacle general, he naturally won't be afraid of the eighth-order soldiers, but the ace troops under his command are very weak under the scale of heavy cavalry. The armor made of 100 steel, the seventh-order soldiers may not be able to shoot through, and they can't use the tactics of long-range kite flying, so they can only fight head-on, but the seventh-order soldiers fight the eighth-order soldiers, and the number of people is not very superior, it is just a dead end. If he doesn't engage in a head-on battle, what he is responsible for secretly transporting will be taken away, and he will not escape the blame if the leader holds him accountable.

In the end, the general still had a bit of luck, hoping that the other party was a seventh-order soldier instead of an eighth-order soldier, so that his seventh-order Xianbei cavalry would have a great advantage under the bonus of the title of ordinary special troops, after all, the seventh-order soldier was not very limited by the fifth-order equipment when riding on a horse.

However, Lu Shuang does not fight battles without a chance of winning, although he seems to be very cowardly when he is careful everywhere, it is also the most stable approach.

The two armies fought, and it was obvious that Lu Shuang's side still had the advantage, but the Xianbei cavalry was not vegetarian, as an ordinary special type of troops, they were twice the combat power of soldiers with the same force value, and they were not much inferior in front of the eighth-order soldiers. Even if the difference in positioning makes it difficult for them to fight in hand-to-hand combat, it is not a one-sided situation.

Lu Shuang regretted it a little now, he knew that the strength of ordinary special troops was so strong, so he brought some Danyang green soldiers over. Although he had tested his strength as early as when he was transferred to Danyang Qingbing, it was only a competition, and the later battles were all against some weaker rogues or rebels, which did not reflect the strength of high-level special troops at all. The Danyang Qingbing is proficient in all kinds of weapons, and although the horse battle is not as good as other high-level special troops, it can still stabilize the Xianbei cavalry.

The general's heart became more and more anxious at this time, not that he was afraid that the whole army would be wiped out, he flew a pigeon to pass the book back before the war, and it was estimated that there would be support soon. In the battle, the two armies, except for some Xianbei cavalry lost when they first clashed, are now in a state of stalemate. The heavy cavalry relied on his armor and spears, and the Xianbei cavalry was difficult to approach, or the scimitar could not necessarily hurt the man; Although the heavy cavalry has the advantage in strength and equipment, in the face of experienced cavalry, the attack is easy to miss, but in general, the Xianbei cavalry is decreasing at a slow pace, and the heavy cavalry is gradually showing casualties.

It's just that when Lu Shuang formed this heavy cavalry, he invested a lot of money, not only did the soldiers choose the best equipment and horses, but even the generals were equipped with a lot, and almost every two hundred cavalry was equipped with a special general. If the eighth-order soldier meets the seventh-order Xianbei cavalry and fights seventy-seven eighty-eight, then the special military general is an overwhelming advantage, after all, the soldier below the ninth order adds 20 on the basis of his force value, which is equivalent to the strength of the general with the same force value, in short, the military general is two ranks higher than the soldier with the same force value.

These super-level generals are all super-level pinnacles, and when the force value is even higher, they even beat these Xianbei cavalry. The Xianbei cavalry is proud of its horse combat experience and flexibility, and has no power to fight back in front of the special generals.

And although the general himself was at the pinnacle of the king level, he was approached by Cheng Hui before he had time to show his skills. Cheng Hui's strength was so strong that the generals were terrified, but the emperor-level battle against the king-level peak could not win in a short time. It's just that Cheng Hui is very willing to see such a result, the enemy will be involved, and his own soldiers will be able to suffer fewer casualties.

Lu Shuang was not idle during this time, taking advantage of Cheng Hui's efforts to hold back the main force, he took the remaining five hundred heavy cavalry to directly take the baggage protected by the transport troops. The army of 30,000 escorts is now only 3,000 sixth-order cavalry, and those transport soldiers are not even as good as fourth-order soldiers, even if they use crowd tactics, they can't stop Lu Shuang.

Without the seventh-order Xianbei cavalry to harass him, Lu Shuang quickly occupied the baggage guarded by the sixth-order cavalry, and the transport vehicles on it were covered with black cloths, so he couldn't see what was inside, and even the cars were different from the ones on the side, higher and bigger.

Let people uncover the black cloth, Lu Shuang was shocked by the things inside, although the car was carrying only some wooden props, but judging from the news fed back by the advanced reconnaissance technique, this is not an ordinary prop, and it is impossible to even appear in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was added to the game by the system itself, because it is an absolute siege weapon trebuchet in the packaged state.
