Chapter 149: Qin Fengzhong's Plan (Ask for Subscription!) )
The archers had not yet gathered, the original march was a long snake formation, and the team of seven or eight thousand people still carried a thousand stones of grain and grass, and the team was so long that it was impossible to complete the formation in two minutes, and even the grain and grass were still in the rear and they did not have time to rush to the front.
Under Cao Ren's strong command, in the face of this aspect of Chen Zhi's cavalry, he barely gathered more than 1,000 pikemen and sword and shield soldiers, hoping to block the first wave of the Flame Army's cavalry.
Just as the sergeants of the Cao Army were riveting their strength to prepare for the first wave of the enemy cavalry's charge, the Flame Army cavalry did not rush over, but circled the two wings.
This made Cao Ren's face change greatly, if the Flame Army rushed into the formation that had not yet formed from the two wings, the consequences would be unimaginable, and he immediately shouted for the other sword and shield soldiers and spearmen to set up the formation on both wings.
Although Cao Jun's training is already very elite in this era, it is obviously not enough for the speed training in gathering and arranging formations, but Qin Feng's training in this area is according to the standards of later generations, getting up and gathering in line is in accordance with the standards of later generations, and the square formation and circular formation are in place in two minutes.
But this is obviously impossible for Cao Jun to do no matter what.
The two-winged sword and shield soldiers and pikemen of the circular formation had not yet arrived, and there were gaps everywhere, Chen Zhi found it while galloping his horse, and immediately rushed directly towards the left flank as soon as he pulled the reins.
"Whoosh ······" Before the men and horses arrived, arrows rained down, and the Cao army sergeants were shot down one after another.
Under the leadership of Chen Zhi, the cavalry of the Flame Army rushed into the Cao army formation without hindrance.
"Ahh
The sergeants of the Cao army were either knocked off by the war horse, or hacked to death, stabbed to death by the spear, under the high-speed impact of the war horse, the cavalry did not have to do anything, as long as the war knife was held horizontally on the side, the blade would easily cut the throat of the enemy, especially when the flank into the enemy formation, the distance was too close, the enemy pikemen could not even use it, the cavalry who rushed in could not only chop at will, but also use the high-speed impact of the war horse to cut the wheat like cutting wheat, rushing along the gap in the queue, holding two war knives in the backhand can cut the throat and cut off the neck of the two enemy troops.
After being rushed into the formation by the cavalry of the Flame Army, the Cao army was completely chaotic, and the circular array that had already been formed collapsed in an instant, and the large number of archers who had gathered in the middle had not had time to line up, and they were mercilessly charged, trampled, and crushed when they were in a mess.
However, at this time, a cavalry of two hundred Flame Army rushed to the grain convoy from another direction, and the soldiers carrying the grain saw that they could no longer enter the formation, so they planned to arrange a circle on the spot, but before they could pile all the grain together, the two hundred cavalry rushed over.
Three consecutive arrows rained over, and before the sergeants of the two thousand people of the grain transportation team could see the situation clearly, the cavalry had already rushed to the front, and the two thousand Cao army sergeants were unarmed, only the wooden poles that carried the grain, where was the opponent of this group of tigers and wolves, and they collapsed instantly before they could contact the battle.
"Whoosh!" A couple of torches were thrown on the grain pile, and the grain pile gradually caught fire and smoked from it.
On the other side, the soldiers of the Cao army, who had been crushed by Chen Zhi's cavalry, originally had the heart to resist, but when they saw the food on fire and smoke, they instantly lost their will to resist, the grain was burned, and they were still fart, so it was better to run for their lives quickly.
Even a famous general like Cao Ren sighed in the face of the defeat of the army, and he was escorted by his own soldiers all the way.
Chen Zhi saw that the Cao army had completely collapsed and could not afford to fight at all, so he immediately led the army to rush back and forth to chase and kill the fleeing Cao army sergeants.
At the end of this battle, there were Cao Jun's corpses everywhere for more than ten miles.
Twenty miles outside Wancheng, there was no grain of grain left in the Cao army's camp, but Cao Cao still blocked the news.
It has been five days since Li Tong led his troops to Yecheng to transport grain, Zhu Ling also went to Hejiabao for five days, and Cao Ren went to rescue Zhu Ling for two days.
Cao Cao really couldn't sit still, as the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, you don't panic, but without food, anyone will not be able to hold it back, and it is great that he can hold it up to now without being discovered by the sergeants.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, the atmosphere is very depressing, there is no food, and now no one dares to talk nonsense, lest they touch Cao Cao's moldy head.
Cao Cao was silent for a long time, and then ordered: "Pass the order, withdraw the troops tonight, no one is allowed to make a loud noise, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" ”
Early the next morning, Qin Feng came to fight in front of Cao's camp with 3,000 rabble, but the defenders on the city wall were unmoved, and there was not even a single person who said a word.
Qin Feng let a few soldiers scold for more than an hour and finally found out that something was wrong, before the Cao Jun sergeants on the wall of the wall would scold back anyway, but today there was no one to scold.
"You guys go over and investigate, go ahead!"
Under Qin Feng's stern order, a few sergeants who were still greeting Cao Cao's ancestor just now walked tremblingly towards the Cao Ying wall, and when they got closer, they discovered the problem.
"General, the walls are full of straw men!"
Straw man?
It's not good, Cao Apu ran away!
Qin Feng immediately led his troops in pursuit, but these 3,000 county soldiers had not experienced much training, not only was their combat effectiveness not good, but their marching speed was not fast, so he could only keep urging.
"Hurry up, hurry up, eat so much in the morning, but don't make any effort, raise your wine bags and rice bags in vain, speed up!"
Qin Feng originally thought that Cao Jun might run out of a hundred and ten miles, after all, if he used to march all night, not to mention walking a hundred miles, it should be no problem to walk fifty miles.
But he took the three thousand rabble to chase for more than ten miles before he felt that something was wrong, the air seemed to be filled with the smell of danger, and before he could give the order to stop the pursuit, a large number of shouts of killing came from the woods on one side.
"Kill—"
"Kill—"
"The one who captures Qin Feng alive will be rewarded with a thousand gold!"
Qin Feng hurriedly stopped his horse, only to see countless Cao Jun sergeants rushing out of the mountains and forests, a large number of flags shaking, where did he dare to stay, while riding his horse to turn around, he kept waving the three-pointed knife to knock off the arrows that came from him, and when the war horse turned around, he immediately hit the horse and galloped in the direction where he came.
These 3,000 county soldiers had no combat effectiveness at all, and after being ambushed at this time, they were scurrying around like headless flies, and more people turned around and ran, following Qin Feng and running desperately.
When Qin Feng rode back to Wancheng City, there were less than two hundred soldiers behind him, one by one, they were dejected, like a dead father, and half of them were so tired that they lay on the ground and gasped.
After entering the city, Gan Ning hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Lord, why are you so embarrassed?" ”
