Chapter Twenty-Nine: Breaking the Serpent

"Assuming that the other party has not received the news of the change in Fute City, the most important thing is to enter Fute City as soon as possible and take control of the city!" Feng Luo raised his voice slightly.

Everyone felt the flame in Feng Luo's eyes, and couldn't help but feel agitated.

"Will they expect an ambush?" Feng Luo asked, the key, and the real plan.

"Your Excellency, are you going to ambush them?" Sting was taken aback, thinking he had misheard. Although they are currently victorious and their morale is high, they are not on the real battlefield and are closer to assassination. Moreover, they are remnants.

The total number was only about two hundred, dozens of people were wounded, and the number of troops was further reduced. With such troops, to meet the vanguard army of the opposing side, even the heavy cavalry, which is known for its sharp attack, is very doubtful about the feasibility of such a method.

"It's not an ambush, it's a break!" Feng Luo shook his head, "In this position, the slope of the mountain is relatively gentle, and the opposite side of the mountain is steep. They can't set up a formation, let's cut them off!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, if the other party took the long snake formation, it would not be difficult to break the team. Although it can't effectively kill the enemy, it disrupts the rhythm of the opponent's march and can buy time for Foote City.

But in doing so, the success rate is low and the risk is very high. Because the opponent is a light cavalry, it moves quickly and will be on guard. If you change to infantry, then it's simple, with all your might, they don't even have time to defend.

"My lord, the hillside is gentle, we can't hide, it's easy to spot. The enemy army prepares in advance and changes formation, which may hold us back. One of the squad leaders raised his concerns.

"It's okay, I have a way to hide it. Even, use the steep terrain on the other side to block their progress!" Feng Luo was full of confidence.

He was very sorry in his heart, but it was a pity that Fute City could not send troops out to reinforce at this time. Otherwise, after cutting off the ranks, the army in front can be easily swallowed. The drawbacks of Spark's hasty appointment were revealed at this time, and he could not be dispatched quickly.

Green water and green mountains, cloudless. It was a good time to put paper kites, but unfortunately I had to leave home and go out to fight. The generals who led the troops felt more homesick in their hearts, but when they thought of the great work that was about to be established, their mood changed again.

General Zhenguo is going to use troops against his neighbors!

When the news came, there was jubilation in the army. Only when there is a war can there be military merits. The army quickly assembled and was ready on the border line.

I thought that there would be fierce battles, and the army gradually crushed the past. Things suddenly became simpler, because the city of Foote was occupied!

Before sending troops, occupying an important city of the opponent, even if there are many methods, it will not change everyone's good mood.

When the news came, many officers and soldiers expressed their doubts. But the order from above confirmed the facts. The capture of the city of Foote would greatly shorten the course of the war. If you go home early and get military merits, why not?

The light cavalry took the lead, marched at a faster pace, and went to take over the city of Foot. As a leader of soldiers, of course, he does not think that things stop there.

Don't think about winning, think about defeat first. The general, who was in his thirties, did not get carried away by the upcoming "victory" and always put the preservation of strength in the first place.

Did the other side really surrender? Was the rebellion fraudulent? Did Davao find out about the mutiny, did it react?

There are many problems that show that this trip is not so easy. But the benefits are large, and the risks are naturally large. He led the cavalry at a faster pace, taking care to maintain physical strength. At the same time, scouts were sent to probe in front to prevent the large force from falling into an encirclement.

The general will not back down from this, and has made all kinds of preparations. The cavalry he led was the elite of the army, and even if he fell into an encirclement, these 4,000 people would be able to set up a position and hold out for more than two hours!

The follow-up troops had long followed, and the distance behind them did not exceed two hours. As long as he is cautious enough, the troops will either make merit or save without losses.

"Come, tell the people in front to pay attention, there may be ambushes on the left slope, and be prepared for battle when marching. The mountain on the right is steep and should not be too close. "The cautious general gave the order.

The team adjusted slightly and moved on.

"General, there is a sneak attack over there, about a hundred people!"

"Prepare for battle in front, follow closely behind!" the general announced the order loudly, without the slightest panic, for he had already prepared. However, in this way, the plan to successfully take over Foote City may be in vain, and he regrets it in his heart.

The figure on the hillside on the left swayed, and quickly approached on horseback. The teams were a little scattered, perhaps because of the speed affecting the formation, or they could be hastily put together. If it is the latter reason, Foote City has not yet lost control.

Too few people, too far away. The general made a judgment and thought that after his side was ready, the hundred men would simply be sent to death!

Without much adjustment, the team turned in unison, took off their bows, mounted their arrows, and prepared to give the enemy a head-on blow. Before the 100 people rushed forward, thousands of arrows would be shot, and it would be a miracle to be able to dodge.

The general suddenly had a bad feeling, but he didn't know what was wrong. Then, his eyes widened, and he watched as the figure on the hillside fluctuated for a moment, a little unreal.

"Kill!" the sound of killing the enemy sounded.

"Shoot the arrows!" At the sound of the order, the feathered arrows rained down on the onrushing enemy.

Oh my God, what the hell is going on? Where it should have been a cliff, suddenly a group of cavalry rushed out!

And the gentle hillside, and the people on it, suddenly rippled like water waves, almost disappearing. And the arrow that was shot, lost its trace, but certainly did not hit anyone!

The cavalry fought from behind, defenseless, and easily broke into the ranks. At the forefront were the heavy cavalry, piercing like an awl. They were followed by light cavalry, killing off the wounded along the way.

The defenses they had done were all aimed at the left, and the cliffs were on the right, and it was impossible to be defended except far from the point. was caught off guard, as if he was stabbed in the back, he didn't even resist Xiangyang.

Some soldiers wanted to turn their horses' heads, some wanted to rush some distance and then adjust, crashing into each other, and there was chaos. Many people fall off the horse, and they have nothing to do with each other, but their own people collide.

Of course, the soldiers came from afar, and it was also related to the fatigue of the men and horses. The chaotic scene is difficult to calm down all at once. On the contrary, it was the enemy's charge that made the team a little more tidy. The parts that are too messy, like grass that has been cut by a knife, fall down with a brush.

Due to the long snake formation, the distance between the left and right sides of the team was only about ten zhang. The heavy cavalry opened the way, and it took a breath or two to break through. More than 200 people were killed!

"Echo at the end, flank the attack, surround it!" Although the general felt sorry for the soldiers, he did not hesitate to issue the order, after all, it is a war, how can there be immortals.
