Now that he is here, Cao Bianjiao wants to see if he can successfully attack the camp.
"Go around, don't go here, go somewhere else." Cao Bianjiao chose to change places and not go to the front of the camp.
After walking around the camp for a long time, he found that the entire camp was blocked by a wooden wall. If there were cannons, a few cannons would be able to blast a gap in the wooden wall. However, all he brought with him were cavalry, and he wanted to cross the wooden wall. A wall is simply impossible.
Unable to find a more suitable location, Cao Bianjiao had no choice but to lead his men back to the front of the camp.
Although there is a Luzhai blocking the road in front, this is still the easiest direction to break into the Tiger Flag camp.
Through the piles of bonfires, you can clearly observe the deer villages placed everywhere along the road.
"Take your men and go around from both sides, and then move all the deer villages in front of you as quickly as possible. Move quickly. I will rush over with my men when the time comes." Cao Bianjiao told the person next to him.
The person who got the order took a dozen people with him and went into the darkness.
Cao Bianjiao pressed his body against the belly of his horse, staring closely at the bonfire in the distance.
As soon as the Luzhai blocking the road in front was moved away, he would rush over with his people, trying to gain some momentum to rush into the Tiger Flag's camp and catch the Tiger Flag by surprise.
If he was surrounded by infantry, he would naturally not dare to come like this, but those who came with him were cavalry, and they were fast enough that the people in the camp had no time to react.
Time passes little by little.
Because he was approaching in the dark, and he had to hide his figure as much as possible to avoid being discovered, the speed naturally couldn't be too fast.
Cao Bianjiao was not in a hurry.
They came out of the city early, and even if they delayed a little longer, the sky would still not be bright, and if they were a little later, it might be easier for the soldiers in the Tiger Flag camp to have a bad rest.
After a while, Cao Bianjiao's eyes moved.
He had already seen the shaking figures of the people he sent, and these people quickly rushed towards Luzhai, began to move Luzhai, and quickly pulled him to both sides.
"Everyone mount up." Cao Bianjiao shouted, not caring whether he would be discovered by people in the camp.
As long as there was someone on duty at the watchtower in the camp, he knew that those who moved Luzhai would definitely be discovered.
Luzhai was quickly moved away.
What surprised Cao Bianjiao was that there was no movement in the camp, as if the camp was empty.
However, when things got to this point, he couldn't think about it anymore, let alone retreat. He immediately shouted: "Everyone obeys the order and rush in with me!"
As he spoke, he took the lead and urged his war horse to rush towards the camp of the Tiger Flag.
There were about two hundred horses following him.
When the horses are led and walked, and the horses' hooves have passed through the cotton cloth, the movement is naturally not too big, but now everyone is charging on horseback, the horses are galloping, and the movement is impossible to make.
The war horse needs a little speed to run.
The bonfires on the road could not stop the cavalry charge, and the only deer village that could stop them was moved away.
Only two lonely deer villages in front of the camp gate were left blocking the front.
Most of the deer villages have been moved away. Cao Bianjiao has many ways to remove the remaining two deer villages. There is no need to send people to move them.
Moreover, it was too late to send someone alone at this time. He didn't believe that the people in the camp couldn't detect such a big movement of hundreds of cavalry charging.
However, what surprised him was that he was almost rushing to the camp gate, but there was still not much movement from the direction of the camp, let alone the slightest sign of panic in the camp.
This made him feel bad.
However, at this point, even if you want to retreat, it is no longer possible. Even if there is any problem in the camp, you have to rush in. At worst, you will find a way to escape when the situation is not good.
As long as the cavalry is not trapped, it is not a big problem to escape.
This was also the reason why he dared to attack the camp.
When they were about to approach the last two deer villages, two cavalrymen rushed out from Cao Bianjiao, raised their weapons, and wanted to use their weapons to separate the remaining two deer villages.
boom! boom! boom!
But as soon as the two cavalrymen approached the Luzhai, fire suddenly appeared from behind the Luzhai, and at the same time there was the sound of gunshots mixed in with it.
The two cavalrymen of the Ming Army who were approaching did not even have a chance to react and fell off their horses.
Then a series of gunshots sounded from the camp.
On the Ming army's side, cavalrymen continued to fall off their horses, and even war horses ran up a few steps, throwing both men and horses to the ground.
Cao Bianjiao reacted very quickly and immediately guessed that Huziqi had taken precautions in advance. It was almost impossible to take advantage. If the delay continued, there would probably be more casualties.
He turned the horse's head to deflect the horse in some directions, intending to rush towards the black clown on one side and escape from here through the darkness.
However, as soon as he made a move, the two deer villages in front of the Tiger Flag Camp were moved away by the people inside, and several large vehicles were pushed out from behind.
The windows on all sides of the cart were opened, revealing the muzzles of cannons.
boom! boom! boom!
As soon as the cart was pushed out, it immediately opened fire and went into battle.
Cannonballs flew out of the barrel and hit the heads of the Ming cavalry on the opposite side.
They are not big cannons, they are small cannons that are easy to carry and placed on a cart, so there is no need to worry about destroying the cart after firing.
Even though they are just small cannons, dealing with cavalry is as easy as cutting tofu. No cavalry can block the cannons fired from the barrel.
Cannons were fired one after another towards the middle of the Ming army cavalry who came to attack.
Every time a cannon is fired, several Ming cavalrymen can lose their lives.
It's not that these small cannons are more powerful than those with thicker muzzles, but that the Ming cavalry is too close to these small cannons, and because the Ming cavalry gathers near the camp gate, they want to break into the camp through the camp gate. , all the Ming army cavalry were crowded together, allowing the cannon to do greater damage.
Because Cao Bianjiao saw the situation quickly and avoided the first round of bombardment, but when the second round of bombardment came, there were many more Ming cavalry behind him, and he retreated farther away, so he was not harmed by the bombardment. .
However, the number of cannons arranged by the Tiger Flag at the camp gate is not large, and the conditions at the camp gate are not suitable for deploying too many cannons.
After losing more than 20 lives, the Ming army finally escaped from the Tiger Flag camp.
Because of the darkness and the Ming army's cavalry being shelled, they were in disarray. Many people ran away while escaping. In the end, less than a hundred cavalry followed Cao Bianjiao back to Jinan City.
Cao Wenzhao has been guarding the top of the city since Cao Bianjiao left the city.
Seeing Cao Bianjiao returning, he immediately went to greet him.
"What happened? Was it successful?" Cao Wenzhao asked Cao Bianjiao nervously.
Cao Bianjiao shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The tiger thief took precautions in advance. My nephew was discovered before he could break into the tiger thief's camp. He also lost a lot of his own people."
