The first thousand five hundred and seventy-eighth chapters, the road is one foot high and the devil
Although the five thousand elite cavalry under Duan Zhixuan's command are extremely powerful, it is almost impossible to defeat the five thousand tiger battalion elite cavalry who are escorting grain and grass head-on. At most, they will be evenly matched.
Therefore, Duan Zhixuan gave full play to his best guerrilla lightning tactics, coming and going like the wind.
The five thousand Tiger Battalion cavalry escorting the grain and fodder had no idea when they would come, so they had to be on high alert at all times.
Once Duan Zhixuan's attack was blocked, he would immediately flee. For fear of falling into the trap of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, the 5,000 Tiger Camp elite cavalry did not dare to stay away from the food and grass, so they could only repel the 5,000 horse thieves and could not further effectively kill them.
.
In this way, Duan Zhixuan led 5,000 powerful horse thieves back and forth, retreating at the first touch. Although they were always trying to fight in a superficial way, the 5,000 elite soldiers of the Far Eastern Army who were escorting the food transport team were exhausted and greatly stagnated.
The forward speed is too late.
…………
…………
After seven days of walking for more than two hundred miles, the team transporting grain and grass was finally only a dozen miles away from Yuchi Jingde's camp. At such a close distance, the damn five thousand soldiers led by Duan Zhixuan
The horse thieves would not attack too close to the main force of the Far Eastern Army, and the entire forage team seemed to be able to breathe a sigh of relief.
The Tiger Battalion cavalry who escorted the grain and grass were all light cavalry. Everyone carried long bows and held swords. They were real elites and had very solid protection against the cold. It was just that the wooden wheels of the already simple and heavy vehicles were stained with a thick layer of
The mud seemed to weigh more than ten kilograms, and the two thousand people pushing the grain carts were not the drafted strong men, but soldiers from the Far Eastern Army's heavy engineering barracks.
After such a long journey, the two thousand soldiers seemed to be exhausted early on.
The 5,000 Tiger Camp cavalrymen were obviously slacking off. The soldiers from the Engineer and Troop Battalion pushing carts seemed to be thinking that this fatal task would be over as soon as possible. They mustered up their last strength, cheered up and hurried on as hard as they could, striving to reach the Tiger Camp building before evening.
camp.
It seemed that none of them noticed that behind the hillside not far away was a spy sent by Duan Zhixuan.
Suddenly, the horse thieves, who had been divided into five thousand-man teams by Duan Zhixuan, determined the exact location of the Li family's food team from where the spies were, and then attacked the long dragon transporting food from five directions.
There were two thousand cavalry in the front, two thousand-man cavalry on each side, and another thousand-man cavalry in the back, outflanking them from all directions.
When they were five miles away, the scouts sent by the Tiger Battalion hurriedly warned the grain and grass troops. The warning had just reached the army, and five cavalry groups came roaring from all directions. They were only two or three miles away from their target. Suddenly, there was thunderous sound of hooves, and with that,
When the cold wind came, the grain transport team of the Far Eastern Army immediately responded quickly.
Because Duan Zhixuan wanted to impersonate a horse thief, his men and horses were dressed differently from the regular army. Everyone wore a gray wolfskin robe, a sheepskin hat, and an ear mask. Only a pair of fierce eyes were exposed, and his hands were wrapped in a layer of clothing.
Only ten fingers were exposed from the fur, holding the steel knife tightly in his hand.
It seems that the five thousand Tiger Battalion cavalry have experienced this situation dozens of times along the way. It has to be said that they have tried their best to protect the food and grass, but failed to let Duan Zhixuan succeed every time.
But after more than ten times, the five thousand Tiger Camp cavalry were exhausted. In addition, they thought that they had reached their destination and were close to the main camp, and these hateful horse thieves would not come again, so they seemed to relax.
Coupled with the fact that they were really tired, they seemed to be a little slow to react.
Although, as done dozens of times before, the cavalry was divided into five parts and launched a countercharge towards the enemy coming from five directions to intercept the incoming enemy, but because the distance given to them to charge was too short, the speed of the cavalry was not increased. It seemed that
His combat power has also been greatly reduced.
You must know that cavalry charging each other is like two torrents rushing against each other. When the numbers are equal and the combat power is equal, speed is crucial, not to mention that they are really tired.
Fortunately, the Far Eastern Army had grenades and still fired a wave of grenades. Unfortunately, the five thousand horse thieves led by Duan Zhixuan were very experienced in dealing with grenades, and their riding skills were terrifying.
Not only did they avoid the grenade's blast range, but they also plugged the ears of the war horse tightly. Apart from killing more than a hundred people, it had no effect.
The final result was that Tiger Camp and others failed to intercept Duan Zhixuan's charge from five directions this time. Their opponent took advantage of the speed of the charge and was bypassed. Therefore, it seems that the casualties of the five thousand cavalry in Tiger Camp were not very serious.
.
In this way, the important thing is that the grain and grass troops were exposed to the five thousand-man troops of Duan Zhixuan's horse thieves.
Next to the grain truck were two thousand soldiers from the Far Eastern Army's engineer transport battalion pushing carts. They took out all kinds of weapons from the carts, and then relied on the carts to form a defensive formation.
Unfortunately, their bodies looked too tired from being squeezed by the cart all the way, and they didn't have much strength at all, so their movements involuntarily slowed down.
But Duan Zhixuan's five thousand-man troops have already reached the extreme speed. The two thousand engineers and soldiers in the heavy battalion have just taken shape based on the grain truck defense formation. Duan Zhixuan's five thousand-man troops have already led the people to rush forward twenty or thirty steps.
, dismounted from his horse and galloped like an arrow. Although many soldiers from the engineering and transport camp also fired their crossbows, everyone on Duan Zhixuan's side had a horse shield and they all blocked them.
Therefore, only more than a hundred people on Duan Zhixuan's side were hit by arrows and fell from their horses, and the pace and speed of the five cavalry teams were not affected at all.
The five thousand Tiger Battalion cavalry who were left behind looked anxious to death, but in the snow, the horses were very tired. In this case, it took a process to turn the horses' heads and charge over, and today it looked like this
The process is extremely slow.
During this process, Duan Zhixuan's five-line cavalry gave full play to the mobility of the cavalry, quickly assembled, outflanked, assaulted and cut, and more than 2,000 soldiers from the engineering and transportation battalion were defeated almost before the opponent could rush forward and fled in all directions.
.
Duan Zhixuan and his five thousand horse thieves came here for food and fodder, so they would not waste time chasing these second-rate soldiers from the engineering and supply camp, and the cavalry from the Tiger Battalion turned their horses around and rushed to kill them, preventing them from succeeding in what they were about to do.
Duan Zhixuan's horse thieves were obviously familiar with the road. Many people quickly picked up the light fuel oil they had prepared before and poured it on them.
He caught the grain truck and set it on fire easily.
And at this moment, a strange scene happened.
The Tiger Battalion cavalry who were rushing towards this side suddenly showed strange smiles. The soldiers of the Engineer and Troop Battalion who had already run two to three hundred steps away suddenly fell to the ground, with their heads on the ground.
However, some gaps are intentionally left between the body and the ground.
Duan Zhixuan watched the grain truck being set on fire, and saw the reaction of the Far Eastern Army escorting grain and grass troops. He suddenly felt agitated and felt something was wrong, so he ordered his troops to retreat quickly.
Unfortunately, his order was too late.
In the distance, on a mountaintop, Li Jing led a thousand special forces soldiers, looking at this place from a distance with binoculars.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
One hundred vehicles carrying "food and grass" suddenly exploded.
The sound was earth-shattering, and its power was as if a huge earthquake had occurred. It was extremely frightening.
Five thousand people had just set fire to the grain carts, but the horse thieves who had no time to retreat were overwhelmed by air waves, fire waves, iron sheets, steel needles, and steel balls.
The powerful explosion caused the five thousand horse thieves to be thrown off their feet. Most of them were killed or injured, and they were completely thrown into chaos.
At this time, five thousand cavalrymen from the Tiger Camp escorting grain and grass and two thousand soldiers from the supply camp rushed towards them with murderous intent.
Half an hour later, less than 300 of the 5,000 horse thieves escaped.
Duan Zhixuan was also amazing. Under such circumstances, he managed to break out of the encirclement and escape with 300 people.
That's right, the plan to use grain and grass as bait to ambush Duan Zhixuan and the five thousand horse thieves was planned and implemented by Li Jing.
Duan Zhixuan was cunning enough, so Duan Zhixuan brought horse thieves to attack earlier, and the five thousand cavalrymen of the Tiger Camp who escorted the grain and grass also tried their best to resist according to Li Jing's instructions, which was a great show.
Duan Zhixuan was convinced that this was real food and fodder, and he even believed that they could succeed. It was because they had exhausted the Tiger Camp these days and their combat power had dropped a lot, and he used the latter's laziness to get close to the camp to conduct a surprise attack that allowed them to successfully burn it down.
food.
However, although Duan Zhixuan was cunning and knew about things like explosives, because he didn't know much about them, he would have some gaps and neglect when considering tactics.
Li Jing took advantage of this and set up this situation, almost wiping out Duan Zhixuan's entire army in one fell swoop.
"Under such circumstances, Duan Zhixuan was able to escape. This is destined to give credit to you, a thousand special operations teams!" Li Jing looked surprised and smiled at the fifth captain of the special operations team next to him.
The captain of the fifth division had a fighting spirit on his face and said with a smile: "Master Li, the general does not need too many people. He only needs to lead 300 people. The remaining 700 people will still be dispatched by Master Li."
Li Jing nodded and said: "Okay, I'll do as you said. You take away three hundred people, but you must not underestimate him. Duan Zhixuan is a difficult guy."
"The general will understand." The captain of the fifth division agreed, and then he led three hundred special forces masters to sneak up in the direction where Duan Zhixuan and his group escaped and chased them.
