The person who came was none other than Wu Que's right-hand man, Yue Zhao. He walked up to Feng Chong and said softly: "Chang Feng, I have been ordered by my team leader to come here to report something important." After saying that, he handed over a strange-looking weapon. The token was handed to Feng Chong.
Feng Chong took the token and took a closer look. When he saw that the pattern matched, he was immediately relieved and said to Yue Zhao with a smile: "I wonder why you are here?"
Yue Zhao lowered his voice and said: "Gaoding sent his younger brother Gao Zhong to lead more than a thousand cavalry to attack Anshang. They will meet our cavalry in the near future. My team leader ordered me to come and tell Commander Qu that I want you to Change course to avoid rebel cavalry.”
"I see. I wonder which way our army can avoid the enemy?" Feng Chong asked.
Yue Zhao pointed to the open map and said: "As long as our army avoids twenty miles to the south and marches from the Sanshan Canyon, we can avoid the barbarian soldiers and then turn back to the main road."
Feng Chong followed Yue Zhao's gesture and looked at the route carefully, nodded and said: "It won't be delayed if we march like this. Alas, it's a pity that there is no dangerous terrain nearby, otherwise we could have ambushed the Yi cavalry."
Yue Zhao only came to report the military situation and did not want to interfere in the combat deployment. Hearing Feng Chong complain, he could only laugh twice: "It doesn't matter, as long as our cavalry remains calm."
Feng Chong hummed, and then said: "The Yi cavalry is dispatched to attack An Shang. I wonder if you will send someone to inform Liu Sima and the others."
"Don't worry, Chief Feng Qu. A brother has already rushed forward to tell Liu Sima to respond in advance."
"That's good. Please tell Captain Wu that I know everything about the situation now. Please rest assured that I will deal with it carefully." Feng Chong said while rolling up the map.
Yue Zhao cupped his fists and said, "Even if my mission is completed, please be careful, Commander Qu. I will go first."
"Just take charge of it, I won't have to worry about it." Feng Chong nodded and agreed.
After Yue Zhao left, Feng Chong waited for the troops to rest for half an hour, and then ordered the troops to march south.
Although the army was surprised to deviate from the route, Qu Chang's order must be obeyed, and the army turned southward without saying a word.
"Captain Qu, the Yi cavalry has marched towards Anshang." Not long after Feng Chong led his troops to hide in the Sanshan Canyon, the scouts received news that the rebel cavalry had marched towards Anshang along the road.
After hearing the news, Feng Chong was slightly relieved. He immediately ordered all the troops to set up camp in Sanshan Canyon, and tomorrow they would turn back to the main road and march towards the Yi soldiers.
Feng Chong had been leading the cavalry on the official road for two days. It was approaching noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the troops were speeding forward on horseback.
The hot sunshine shining on everyone felt uncomfortable. Feng Chong picked up the water bag and took a sip, looking ahead with all his concentration.
According to his estimation, he would encounter an enemy group soon. In order to cover the fighter planes, he sent out his scouts early. There was no return at this moment, so he must not have encountered the barbarian soldiers yet.
Seeing the sun rising, he was about to order the troops to turn to the mountains on the left to rest. Suddenly, he saw dust flying in front of him, two knights galloping towards him, and he vaguely saw a Han family flag flashing.
Feng Chong felt relieved and stretched out his right hand to signal the troops to stop. After a while, two cavalry arrived in front of him. He took a closer look and saw that they were the scouts he had sent.
"Chang Qu, a large group of barbarian soldiers were found in the mountains and forests twenty miles ahead." The leading scout leaned on his horse and reported.
"Oh? But the main force of the high-definition bandit army?" Feng Chong asked in surprise.
"Exactly."
"Have the enemy troops set up camp?" Feng Chong asked again.
"No, the enemy just buried pots and cooked rice in the mountains and forests. They never set up camp. I think the enemy just took a short rest. At this moment, Chief Li is still closely monitoring the enemy and ordered his subordinates to come back and report."
Feng Chong nodded: "You have done a good job. It seems that the enemy has not sent any scouts to sweep the battlefield. This is the opportunity for our army to attack. You two will go and investigate again."
"promise."
"Order all the troops to dismount and rest." Feng Chong ordered, and then ordered his guards to unfold the map and look at it carefully.
He was about to encounter the main force of the Haute Couture army, and the guerrilla war he had planned for many days was about to begin, so he had no choice but to be careless.
"All troops mount up and get dressed. All troops mount up and get dressed..." A messenger rode around the resting sergeant and shouted loudly.
Just now, the scouts reported that Gaoding's army was still resting in the forest. It was already the end of the day, when the sun was shining brightly and people and horses were exhausted.
Feng Chong decided to take this opportunity to catch the barbarian soldiers off guard. When the troops were ready to mount their horses, he looked back and then issued an order: "Attack."
Following the order, hundreds of cavalrymen urged their horses to move forward slowly. Now they were still twenty miles away from the enemy, so they couldn't move forward quickly. The cavalry would not let go until they were four or five miles away from the enemy. Attack at full speed.
This is the basic method of cavalry attack, and Feng Chong is familiar with it. He leads his horse to ride at the front, and follows the reporting scouts to run towards the enemy.
"Woo woo woo, woo woo woo..." The horns of the Yi people sounded urgently, and soon another Yi soldier shouted loudly: "Enemy attack, enemy attack..."
"Who is making such a noise outside?" After finally having a quiet lunch break, Gao Ding was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard a loud noise outside the camp, which woke him up immediately.
Gao Ding was a little angry at being disturbed from his dream. He was about to get up and go out to check, but he saw a personal guard rushing in. He knelt on one knee and said urgently: "Your Majesty, there is an enemy attack."
"Enemy attack? Where did the enemy come from?" Gao Ding was a little surprised. Now we are still five or six days away from Anshang. Where can the enemy attack?
The guard replied: "Back to your Majesty, they are Han cavalry, charging towards our commander's tent."
"What?" Gao Ding suddenly stood up from the couch and shouted at the guard: "Hurry up and serve me in armor."
While putting on his armor, Gaoding continued to ask: "How many enemy troops are there, and what's the situation outside now?"
"This... little one doesn't know. I just listened to the preaching of the brothers who went to resist. About a thousand cavalry have broken through several lines of defense of our army and are heading towards our army's tent."
Gao Ding didn't expect the situation to be so serious, so his hand movements accelerated a bit. He wanted to go out quickly to stabilize the morale of the army.
Alas, I was careless, Gao Ding couldn't help but sigh in his heart. These days, he relied on the strength of his numbers and the strength of the Han army was shrinking in Anshang territory, so his vigilance was greatly reduced.
According to his imagination, there should be no fighting before arriving in Anshang. Unexpectedly, he was caught off guard by the army today.
It was also strange that the weather was a bit hot today, so he ordered the army to rest in the woods, preparing to wait until the sun got lower before letting the army move forward.
There was a temporary rest, no fortifications were built, and the sentries were arranged randomly. Unexpectedly, just at this moment of negligence, the Han people seized the opportunity, and the cavalry came to attack.
As for why the Han cavalry immediately knew where their commander's tent was, Gao Ding also understood that most of the soldiers rested under the shade of trees. Of course, he and a few generals had to build tents to rest. In this way, the eye-catching tents would naturally become Han people's tents. The target of the attack.
As the leader of hundreds of thousands of old people, Gao Ding was naturally smarter than ordinary people. He had already figured out these key points in a few breaths.
Soon, he had put on his armor, picked up his long knife and left the camp.
