Chapter 185: Hit and Run
On the vast plains, a large army was marching, and despite its large numbers, it was not slow.
On a hill in the distance, Qin Feng was lying on a rock and observing, and there were several cavalrymen on guard next to him.
"A long snake formation?" Qin Feng touched his chin.
On the way to the march, the use of a long snake formation is the fastest marching formation, a small number of cavalry deployed on both wings, if an ambush, there are enemy troops rushing over to cut the team into two sections, then the cavalry deployed on the two wings will meet the attack, block the enemy charge, in this way, give the front and rear two armies the opportunity to bypass and strangle.
In order to rush as soon as possible, the general will not deploy cavalry on both flanks at all, but this is easy to give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of, once the enemy rushes over and cut off, then the head and tail can not be taken into account, and the sergeants who are disrupted can only fight separately and will soon be defeated.
"It seems that this Cao Ren has a long memory after being wiped out by Chen Zhi's cavalry last time, and he actually knows how to deploy some cavalry on both wings, so he is much more cautious!" Qin Feng muttered to himself.
A soldier next to him asked, "Lord, how are we going to fight?" ”
Qin Feng pondered for a moment and said: "According to Cao Ren's arrangement, if our cavalry attacks in the field without protection, the casualties will undoubtedly be much greater, and if there is no good time, we can't act rashly, let's go back and wait for the rabbit, it depends on whether Cao Ren is in the trap!" ”
After speaking, Qin Feng retreated with his own soldiers, leaving only a few scouts to stare at from afar, and they couldn't get too close, and the scouts under Cao Ren's command were not vegetarians.
At noon, Cao Ren's army arrived at the outskirts of the ambush area.
Looking at the mountains and forests in front of him, Cao Ren, who had experienced a hundred battles, suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, seeing that he was going to return to Xudu after walking for more than half a day, there would be no more moths, right?
Cao Ren muttered in his heart, and suddenly noticed that there was a small black dot in the sky moving, he didn't pay much attention to it at first, but he soon noticed that something was wrong, because that small black dot had been hovering in the sky.
"Huh?" Cao Ren's heart tightened, and he immediately realized that this might be a bird used by the enemy to reconnoitre, and immediately ordered to pull the horse: "Stop!" ”
Adjutant General Wei Yue immediately stepped forward and asked, "General, why did you stop suddenly?" ”
Wei Yue was originally a general under Lu Bu's account, brave in battle, once with Lu Bu, Cheng Lian and others dozens of horses and Zhang Yan more than 10,000 elite soldiers for more than ten days, each battle was beheaded, in Xuzhou and Lu Bu and others were captured together, after Lu Bu died, he surrendered to Cao Cao like Zhang Liao and others.
Cao Ren pointed ahead: "Look! ”
Wei Yue saw the mountains stretching ahead, "Does the general suspect that there is an ambush ahead?" But there is no enemy army here, aren't Qin Feng's more than 10,000 people and horses still under the city of Xudu? ”
Cao Ren shook his head: "That's not necessarily, the news I received was two days ago, how do we know what the situation is now?" ”
"See what it is?"
Wei Yue followed the direction of Cao Ren's arm and saw a small black dot in the sky.
"That's ······ Hawk? Or is it a carving? When the last general and Lu Bu were in Monan, he heard that there were barbarians in the Mobei grassland who taught raptors to reconnoiter the enemy, but he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, was this it? ”
"Quite possibly, otherwise how could it keep staring at us?" Cao Ren said with a solemn face.
If this is really a bird of prey used by the enemy to reconnoitre, I am afraid that there is really an ambush in the mountains and forests ahead, and I can't go any further!
"General, how is it now?"
Cao Ren thought about it for a while, and immediately said: "Take a detour, pass the order, we want to go northwest!" ”
"No!"
The little gray ash flying in the sky saw the movements of Cao Jun, and after Cao Ren changed the direction of the march with the army, it immediately flew back to report to Qin Feng.
"Cao Ren changed direction and went to the northwest? Is he trying to take a detour back to Xudu? ”
Qin Feng touched his chin and immediately ordered: "Pass the order down and pursue Cao Ren's army with all your might!" ”
The two thousand cavalry can be said to be lightly armed, without carrying any materials, on the war horse came out of the ambush to assemble, and when the team was assembled, Qin Feng gave an order, and led the team to Cao Ren's army to chase after him.
Half an hour later, Qin Feng led his cavalry to stop Cao Ren's army.
"Qin Feng?" When Cao Ren saw a cavalry appear in front of him, with the word Qin written on the banner, he realized that something was wrong.
Unexpectedly, Qin Feng actually went out in person, and also used the erratic and powerful cavalry under his command to deal with him.
"Soldiers, kill with me!" Qin Feng roared with a three-pointed sword, and rushed towards Cao Jun with a slap of his horse.
"Kill—" Chen Zhi shouted as he followed Qin Feng with his spear, and the two thousand cavalry rushed over like a torrent.
Cao Ren was shocked and immediately ordered: "The cavalry will attack, the infantry will line up, and the enemy will be resisted in a circular formation!" ”
Wei Yue, as the cavalry general of these hundreds of people, immediately raised his spear and beckoned the three hundred cavalry under his command to meet the cavalry of the Flame Army.
"Kill - the soldiers will kill with me, you must block the enemy army!" Wei Yue shouted as he rode his horse forward.
Two thousand cavalry galloped at high speed, causing an extremely grand momentum, the rear Cao army infantry were all like earth, only the infantry who had experienced being ravaged by the cavalry charge knew the horror of the cavalry charge, in such a powerful momentum, few recruits could not be frightened.
"Wei Yue is here, Qin Feng will die quickly!"
When Qin Feng heard this, he almost laughed when he saw Wei Yue rushing in front of him, he slapped his horse and rushed over, and the tiger three-pointed knife in his hand beckoned over, thinking that one move could solve this military general who had never heard of it, but he didn't expect Wei Yue to block him with three moves.
"Dangdang!"
And in the fourth move, Qin Feng changed the split to a shot, and collected a lot of strength, Wei Yue was hit the head, fainted on the spot, and fell off the horse.
"Kill-" Qin Feng slashed down several times in a row, and several Cao cavalry in front of him were slashed by him.
The cavalry of the two Flame Army swept over from the left and right wings, and followed Qin Feng all the way through the middle, and the three hundred cavalry were wrapped in dumplings in an instant.
Although they are dumplings, it will take time to solve them all.
A quarter of an hour later, Wei Yue's three hundred cavalry were all ambushed, and at this time Cao Ren had already organized all the infantry and arranged a circular formation, although the formation was not neat and not completed, but it had been formed, and if it rushed up again at this moment, it was really not cost-effective.
"Withdraw!" Qin Feng ordered, turned the horse's head and ran, and Chen Zhi led the soldiers to run away immediately.
Cao Rentie blushed as the Flame Army, which had annihilated his only three hundred cavalry, marched away.
Another lieutenant stepped forward and asked, "General, ······ next?"
Cao Ren was shocked, and immediately said: "Quickly find a piece of high ground and set up camp, and later it will change!" ”
