In the dark night, a group of cavalry marched in the vast desert, stepping on the soft yellow sand under their feet.
"Commander Fang, how far is it from the opponent's camp?" Feng Changqing walked in front of the troops and asked softly.
"About thirty miles." Fang Minghong replied, looking into the distance illuminated by the moonlight.
The moon was at the zenith and it was not yet midnight. "Order the soldiers to be on alert and launch an attack in half an hour."
"yes"
The messenger immediately rode on horseback to deliver the order.
"When launching an attack, the Flying Cavalry Regiment is responsible for containing the opponent's main force, while your department is responsible for capturing the opponent's command system. Battalion Commander Fang, are you having any difficulties?" Feng Changqing politely discussed with Fang Minghong.
Fang Minghong was the battalion commander of the Knights. Since the drill was temporarily assigned to Feng Changqing, Feng Changqing was very polite to him.
"No problem." Fang Minghong considered the importance of raiding the opponent's headquarters and answered quickly.
The night was getting darker, and the cold wind was slightly chilly. A soldier on guard sneezed, rubbed his tired sleepy eyes, and suddenly noticed a figure flashing in the moonlight in front of him.
The guard suddenly reacted, no longer sleepy, and looked ahead warily.
"There is nothing, am I dazzled?" There was nothing in front of him. The soldier scanned carefully and found nothing unusual, and said to himself.
The sentry checked for a few minutes and found nothing unusual, so he continued to stand guard with his rifle.
In the pile of sand where the sentry was looking just now, there was a rustling sound, and then two people stood up from the pile of sand.
The person who stood up first made a gesture to the other person, then the two separated and quietly approached the sentry.
The sentry stood guard and did not notice the two extra figures behind him.
The two quietly approached the sentry. When they were still five or six meters away from the sentry, one of them quickly accelerated towards the sentry.
The sentry noticed the abnormality at this time and subconsciously grabbed the rifle. Before he could pull the trigger, he was knocked unconscious by the man behind him with a knife. The rifle in his hand was about to fall, but was caught by another man in time.
lead to accidents.
"What a risk." The man who grabbed the rifle breathed a sigh of relief.
"Report to the regimental commander that the sentry has been dealt with. I will continue to go deep into the military camp to check."
"Yes, squad leader." Putting the captured rifle aside, the other person quickly left.
After Feng Changqing led his troops to Zheng Guosheng's camp, he sent more than a dozen groups of scouts to deal with the other side's sentries.
"Captain, deal with the target sentry."
Feng Changqing waited for the last scout behind a pile of sand leeward.
"Order the troops to advance separately and launch an attack after reaching 100 meters of the camp."
"yes"……
The sentries in the camp were unplugged, and more than a thousand cavalrymen were like blind men without eyes, still sleeping soundly.
Suddenly, a vibration came, and Zheng Guosheng, who was sleeping, woke up in an instant, picked up his personal saber and rushed out of the tent, "Old Sun, quickly order the soldiers to mount their horses." Zheng Guosheng saw Sun Yanming who also rushed out and shouted loudly.
"What happened to the sentry on duty? Feng Changqing's people came in without any sound." Sun Yanming said dissatisfiedly as he ran towards the direction.
Beside the fence, Fang Minghong held up his saber and loudly ordered to the soldiers guarding the racecourse, "You have been captured. Stay here and wait for the people behind to hand over. Don't do anything that violates the rules of the exercise."
The person guarding the horses was a company commander under Zheng Guosheng. When Fang Minghong's troops rushed in, he was driving the horses, but he was stopped on the spot by Fang Minghong.
"I won't lie to you if I fall into your hands." The company commander guarding the horses said unwillingly.
Fang Minghong glanced at him, nodded, and asked the people around him, "Have you found Deputy Brigadier Zheng and Deputy Brigadier Sun?"
"The brothers searched fifty or sixty tents and found no trace of them."
Fang Minghong looked up at the sky. The Eastern Morning Star had already risen. It was less than half an hour before dawn. If he waited until dawn to allow Zheng Guosheng to gather his team, it would cause considerable trouble for his side to win the exercise.
"We can't wait any longer. Gather the team and follow me to rush into the military camp again." Seeing Zheng Guosheng's troops rushing towards the racecourse, Fang Minghong immediately made a decision.
"Old Sun, how is the situation of the army now?" Zheng Guosheng asked Sun Yanming beside him after dodging Feng Changqing's pursuit.
"Feng Changqing is such a thief. He specializes in chasing groups with large numbers of people. Just now, we gathered a force of two hundred people and were targeted by a group of cavalry. If we hadn't separated quickly, we would have been captured by them now," Sun Yanming said.
.
Zheng Guosheng's team was originally the one with the largest number of people assembled. It was forced by Feng Changqing's cavalry to separate four or five groups of troops. Now it only has more than forty people with it. The troops led by Zheng Guosheng are like this. The others cannot be found.
You can imagine the situation of the army commander's soldiers.
"I really underestimated Feng Changqing. I didn't expect him to do this to me." Zheng Guosheng said.
"Don't think about these useless things, hurry up to the racecourse, maybe you can turn defeat into victory."
"I have been fighting for so many years, but I can't afford to lose at the hands of a young man. Hurry, hurry up and go to the racecourse." Zheng Guosheng knew in his heart that it was impossible to turn defeat into victory, but he couldn't lose face and just surrendered, so he wanted to
Get ahead of Feng Changqing's troops, control the racecourse, and assemble the cavalry troops to avoid losing so ugly.
Fang Minghong led more than 300 soldiers under his command to leave the racecourse and rushed towards the military camp again. Along the way, Fang Minghong encountered five or six groups of thirty or forty soldiers. At first, he captured them. Later, in order to capture Zheng Guosheng, he directly captured them.
The gathered soldiers dispersed, not letting their men capture the prisoners, and just rushed forward.
"Battal Commander, the two people in front of me look like Deputy Brigadier Zheng and Deputy Brigadier Sun." Fang Minghong was leading the troops on the way. Suddenly a soldier reminded him. Looking forward, he saw that he was among a group of more than 40 people.
The goal.
"Old Zheng, no, they seem to have recognized us." Sun Yanming reminded him before he had time to dodge the pursuers in front of him.
Needless to say, Sun Yanming knew that Zheng Guosheng knew that he could not escape.
When Fang Minghong discovered Zheng Guosheng and Sun Yanming, he was not polite and immediately ordered his cavalry to surround them.
"Deputy Brigadier Zheng, Deputy Brigadier Sun, I finally found you." Fang Minghong rode up to the two of them and said.
"I'm willing to admit defeat. Let's go and take me to see your Commander Feng." Being surrounded by Fang Minghong and his gang, it was impossible to escape, so Zheng Guosheng gave up.
The capture of Zheng Guosheng and Sun Yanming marked the end of the exercise. After receiving the news, their soldiers quickly stopped resisting and accepted the fate of failure.
In an open space in front of the camp, Zheng Guosheng and Sun Yanming met Feng Changqing, who had defeated them.
"Captain Feng, what you did this time is a bit unethical. I led the troops to wander in the desert for three days, and I wanted to have an honest and open battle with you. It would be better for you to take advantage of my unpreparedness and launch a sneak attack on me."
As soon as Zheng Guosheng saw Feng Changqing, he immediately asked.
"Soldiers are unpredictable, and water is unpredictable. The most important key to a war is to win at the minimum cost, so there is nothing wrong with my sneak attack." Feng Changqing said with a chuckle.
"I can't explain the truth to you young people. If you lose, you lose. There is nothing to say. Next time Lao Zheng will compete with you to see who kills more enemies."
Many mid-level officers like Feng Changqing had listened to Li Mingyuan's lectures. In more than two months, they also learned many new terms and new knowledge from Li Mingyuan, so it was normal for Zheng Guosheng not to argue with him.
"I'm happy to accompany you." Feng Changqing smiled and handed him over, then returned to the camp to report to Li Mingyuan.
