Meng Longfu and Suo Miao galloped to a place. Looking at the hundreds of Chu army cavalry who were fleeing, Suo Miao shook his head: "Fu Hongzhi, this kid, ran away pretty fast. Slow down a little, and our two teams will meet up.
You can eat all his troops."
Meng Longfu said with a smile: "If he runs slowly, he is not Fu Hongzhi, but it doesn't matter. After we completely defeat the Chu army, where else can he go? Either surrender or die, there is no other way to go. However,
This should be just the vanguard of the Chu army, and there must be a large group of infantry and cavalry following behind. Fu Hongzhi has obviously gone back to look for reinforcements, we can't just wait here."
Suo Miao frowned: "What should we do? Do we need to dismount and set up a fence to defend ourselves? But we don't have the materials."
Meng Longfu waved his hand: "No, we are cavalry. If we dismount and fight on foot, it is not wise to take advantage of the strength of the body. It is best to take advantage of the situation to pursue, and then take advantage of the enemy's infantry to be unstable and surprise him.
Then turn to a roundabout, not only can we take away part of their troops, but also make them think that we will have soldiers to follow up, just like themselves. Perhaps, in this way, they can defend on the spot and not dare to enter the bridge lightly.
Already."
Suo Miao laughed: "This is a very clever move. Do you want to inform Brother Bottle and let him know our response?"
Meng Longfu glanced back and shook his head: "It's too late. I'm afraid that in a moment, the enemy's troops will be killed. Brother Bottle is a veteran general for many years. He will know my choice and will definitely do it."
Cross the bridge and fill the gap behind us."
Suo Miao frowned: "His archers don't have a barracks, so they cross the river and form a formation. Isn't it too much? Just let the cavalry charge and it will be over."
Meng Longfu said with a smile: "You don't need him to cross the bridge, you just need to stay on this side of the bridge. With his archers here, it's not too easy to approach within fifty steps of the bridge. As long as you hold on until
If Brother Jinu's heavy infantry comes over, they can securely hold the bridge. Anyway, there is no enemy ambush here, so it is very safe. After crossing the bridge, it will be impossible for the Chu army to seize it again."
Suo Miao breathed a long sigh of relief: "Okay, I'll do as you say, let's go!"
Meng Longfu said in a deep voice to the large group of cavalry behind him: "Brothers, follow me to pursue the enemy. Remember, obey our orders and do not be greedy for credit or fall behind. Otherwise, you will risk your life!"
As he spoke, he unbuttoned the harness of the war horse under his crotch, and the two large pieces of armor covering the horse's body slipped off, leaving only the armor protecting the horse's face and the parasitic armor on its tail.
The child was obviously much more relaxed and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Meng Longfu said in a deep voice: "Everyone take off their vests. We have to run for a long time this time. We don't need to break out of the formation, and we don't need armored cavalry. Leave five people to handle this place, and everyone else will follow me."
Several cavalrymen from behind said distressedly while removing their armor: "This vest is hard-earned. Brother Raptor, can you think about it again?"
Meng Longfu laughed: "We won the battle. I can give you ten sets of vests if you want. However, if you don't take off your vests, you will lose your life if you run too slowly."
The knights burst into laughter. Meng Longfu waved his halberd, and more than two hundred cavalry roared past, heading straight for the distance. Two or three cavalrymen took care of the wounded soldiers who had just fallen off their horses, and slowly
He slowly got on his horse and retreated to the other side of the Hedong Bridge. The two cavalrymen who died in the battle were hung on the saddles and led their horses back. The horses left behind by the Chu army's cavalry were also driven back to Hedong.
There were thirty or forty corpses of Chu Qi lying on the ground, still scattered everywhere.
In the river, reeds came out of it. Hu Fan's brows moved, and a piece of black mud fell on his face. He took out a well-sealed small gourd from under the water, pulled out the stopper, and poured it into his mouth.
After two sips of wine, he sighed: "Fortunately, I brought these spirits with me when I came out to deal with sleeping in the ice and snow. It is indeed useful in early spring and March. Huangfu, what should we do now? The enemy cavalry has been lured away by us.
, Liu Yu is still missing, will those archers on the other side cross the bridge?"
Huangfu Fu's eyes flashed coldly: "The Beifu cavalry wants to divert the cavalry behind us. I can't put more than a thousand men and horses there, but they don't dare to charge hard. They will just lead them around. It doesn't matter. Here
The five thousand elite soldiers I am hiding are the ones who want Liu Yu's life. Don't worry, Liu Yu should come in person soon, and it won't be the whole army. He can bring at most one thousand people, fifty miles away, and one thousand heavy infantry.
Traveling long distances is a taboo in the art of war, but in order to save his brothers, he did not care about so many things. It’s just that this time, we are not Sun En from Suanshan. His military use has always been risky, but I believe this will be the last time!"
At this point, his eyes suddenly lit up and he looked towards the east bank in the distance. The earth was shaking gently, causing some ripples on the water surface, just like the vibration when the cavalry crossed the bridge just now. Huangfu
An evil smile appeared at the corner of Fu's mouth: "As expected, Husband, according to our original plan, you will deal with Tan Pingzhi's archery team, and my target is Liu Yu!"
A trace of excitement flashed in Hu Fan's eyes: "I wish you all!" Their heads were submerged into the water at the same time. Two reed pipes stuck out of the water, and a large piece of reed pipe began to move gently and inadvertently in the river.
In the east of the river, under the hillock, Liu Yu and more than 300 people sat down on the ground panting. Xiang Jing lay on the ground while facing the two legs that were pulling him, shaking constantly because they were loose.
Tan Shao, whose muscles had become sore from long-distance running, said: "Ouch, I say, I say, nephew Shao, please be gentle. Brother Tieniu's body can't withstand your shaking like this."
.”
Liu Yu was also lying on the ground. Just like those subordinates who were relaxed one-on-one by their comrades from the Divine Arrow Commando, Tan Pingzhi was also shaking his legs, and the lines of his muscles changed as he shook again and again.
It was obvious, but he asked: "How long has it been since the Raptors crossed the bridge? Is there any news?"
Tan Pingzhi shook his head, looked at Xu Chite who was standing on the side, and said: "Chite, please do your best, ride on horseback to see the situation on the other side of the bridge, and report back to us as soon as possible."
Xu Chite nodded, got on his horse, took his two companions, and quickly ran towards the west of the river. Soon, he crossed the bridge and disappeared.
Liu Yu glanced at the sun in the sky. When it was almost midnight, the fog basically dissipated, and he could see everything within a ten-mile radius. He sat up and looked at Hexi in the distance. Suddenly, a long dragon-like plume of smoke appeared in the distance.
, coming from the west, quickly heading towards the bridge.
