Chapter 159 Cavalry without horses

"They're coming."

Zheng Feng's scouts hidden on the river bank promptly reported Zhao Yun's movements.

"Okay, Xu Feng, you will lead 300 county soldiers to challenge later."

"Sir, what did you say?"

Now Xu Feng was dumbfounded when he heard Zheng Feng's order. If he asked himself to challenge, wouldn't he push himself towards the door of hell?

"I'll let you lead the army to challenge."

Zheng Feng looked at Xu Feng with a doubtful expression?

"Sir, the younger one is older than the younger one, so please let me live."

This time Xu Feng heard clearly and quickly knelt down on one knee to beg Zheng Feng for mercy.

"Who told you to take on the real challenge of acting? Do you understand?"

Looking at Xu Feng's look, Zheng Feng immediately understood that this guy thought he wanted them to die.

"Acting? What kind of play?"

Xu Feng was a little confused as a monk.

"When I go to challenge this time, I see Gongsun Zan's soldiers and horses. There is no need to fight, just turn around and run away."

Now Xu Feng finally understood that he was the bait to lure Gongsun Zan's cavalry to fight.

"In that case, I will accept the job."

Xu Feng may not be able to fight him, but his performance in escaping is not something he can boast about, he is definitely at the level of a movie king.

After the ferry repairs were completed, the cavalry who went to search for ships would also come, and more than a hundred small boats came to search.

A small boat can carry one person and one horse across the river. Looking at it this way, it will take at least two or three hours for all three thousand people to cross the river.

"I'll go first, Tian Kai. You're in the rear. You can make your own decision if you need anything."

Although he had no dealings with Tian Kai, Zhao Yu still handed over his back to him.

"promise."

Tian Kai nodded. Contradictions are contradictions, but what should be done should still be done.

Zhao Yu took the lead, rode on the boat, and then rushed to the other side of the river under the control of the boatman.

"Sir, the enemy has begun to cross the river."

"Sir, the number of enemies crossing the river has reached 500."

"Sir, the number of enemies crossing the river has reached a thousand riders."

The scouts reported Zhao Yu's crossing of the river time and time again, and Zhao Yu was not idle either. After crossing the river, he organized scouts to investigate the surrounding situation.

Within five miles, nothing happens.

Nothing happens within ten miles.

After hearing the scout's report, Zhao Yu also lowered his guard and ordered the army to rest on the river bank.

Seeing that more and more of his cavalry were crossing the river, Zheng Feng finally sent out the best actor Xu Feng.

"Sir, enemy soldiers have been discovered,"

"The whole army is mounted and ready for battle."

Zhao Yu was resting when he suddenly heard the scout's report and immediately mounted his horse.

"How many enemies are there?"

After everything was ready, Zhao Yu asked the enemy what was true and false.

"The number of people was about three hundred, and the flag they were holding was the flag of Chengping County."

"There are only three hundred people, five hundred people guard the ferry, and the rest will follow me to kill them."

When he heard that there were only 300 people, Zhao Yu's interest dropped instantly.

"promise."

"Sir, this road is full of potholes and it's a bit difficult to walk on."

Hearing that the army was about to start, the scout quickly spoke.

"I'm not afraid of guns, swords, and rain. A small pothole doesn't matter."

After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he immediately galloped on his horse.

Before he even started, he felt something bad, because the hoofs of the war horse had already sunk into the potholes.

A horse stumbling is a serious matter, and it can kill a knight on the battlefield.

"I bother."

Zhao Yu turned over and dismounted, looking at the horse lying on the ground, he couldn't help but feel angry.

Not only Zhao Yu was like this, but most of the cavalry who charged with him were also the same. After running for a hundred or ten meters at most, all of them had their horseshoes spotted.

"The whole army dismounts and leads the horses forward."

Looking at the endless potholes, Zhao Yu's head was buzzing. How unethical could he be to do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit himself?

"Sir, all the enemy's cavalry have turned into infantry, and they are all leading their horses forward."

The scout rushed to Zheng Feng's side and reported to him the latest situation.

"Lead the horse? Trap it into a trap. Wait, wait, wait. You have made a meritorious service."

Thinking of this, Zheng Feng no longer hesitated and waved the steel knife directly.

"Polu Army, listen to the order, Zhang He, you take five hundred soldiers and horses to set up a formation here to stop the enemy, and the rest of the troops advance in formation."

The most powerful thing about Gongsun Zan is their cavalry. Now that the cavalry has become infantry, he is still afraid of a ball. In terms of foot battle, he has never been afraid of anyone in Changshan County.

"promise."

The Polu army bypassed the prepared horse trap and marched forward in formation.

Xu Feng led 300 county soldiers forward continuously, and after somersaulting for a while, they walked a distance of six or seven miles. Over there, Zhao Yu led his horse, walking slower than them, and only walked three or four miles.

Looking at each other from a distance, Xu Feng finally saw the embarrassed Zhao Yu, who was leading the horses slowly towards them like turtles.

"Sir, this is the Youzhou Cavalry that is invincible in the field? Why don't I look like it?"

A military commander came close to Xu Feng, his eyes full of doubts.

"There's so much nonsense. As soon as you look at me, you'll run away."

Although Xu Feng was also confused, his desire for survival made him just want to escape.

"promise."

A group of people slowly approached until they were still two miles away. Xu Feng dropped the steel knife in his hand and fled back.

"Run."

As soon as Xu Feng ran away, the soldiers under his command were stunned at first, and then they also dropped their weapons and flags, and followed Xu Feng and stumbled back.

"Chase."

Seeing Xu Feng's defeat without a fight, Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment and then ordered the pursuit.

"promise."

But it is a pity that their speed obviously could not keep up with Xu Feng's rolling and crawling escape speed, and they disappeared before their eyes in a short time.

"What the hell should I do?"

Zhao Yu was also dumbfounded. He had never encountered such a battle before.

"Zhao Yu."

When Zhao Yu was in a daze, Tian Kai's voice came from behind.

"Tian Kai, have all the soldiers and horses passed?"

"Um."

Tian Kai nodded.

Now is not the time to be vomiting. Zhao Yu looked at the potholes under his feet and felt dizzy.

"We have fallen into the enemy's plan to disturb the troops. Look, these pits are traps for war horses. But one thing is good, that is, Chengping County misjudged its own strength. They didn't expect it.

Your troops will be defeated without a fight."

Tian Kai looked into the distance and couldn't help but reveal a smile.

"Now what?"

Looking at the dense potholes, Zhao Yu didn't have the courage to continue walking.

"There are two ways now. One is to keep going forward. I believe this road won't be too long. It's still five miles at most. The second way is to go back now and go through the ferry to the other side of the river to find shallow ground to cross the river.

"

Tian Kai's words actually mean he didn't say anything. Everyone knows that if you don't advance, you will retreat.

"What do you think?"

Zhao Yu asked him again and asked him to go forward. He really didn't want to, but it was even more uncomfortable to go back and find a shallow place to cross the river.

"If we had not encountered an ambush, I would definitely recommend retreating and taking the ferry. But now that the enemy has been defeated, moving forward is obviously the best choice."

After listening to Tian Kai's words, Zhao Yu no longer hesitated.

"The whole army slows down."
