Chapter 1,292: Fukou Pass Reinforcements Dispatched
The two cavalrymen chased and fled. After more than half an hour, the distance between the two sides had narrowed from more than ten miles to five or six miles. A few miles northwest of Baima Yicong was the Tang State's Fukou Pass.
Seeing Baima Yicong getting closer and closer to Fukou Pass, he would soon be able to enter Fukou Pass. Lu Bu was so anxious that he shouted loudly. He led the five thousand most elite blood wolf cavalry to speed up and chased the white horse Yi Cong who was several miles ahead. He had to prevent the Tang army's white horse Yi Cong from entering the pass, and then Annihilate it in the wild.
The five thousand most elite Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, under the leadership of Lu Bu, increased their speed to the extreme in a moment, and soon they caught up to Baima Yicong two miles behind. Seeing that the pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer, at this time, Baima Yicong was still a mile away from the pass, but the pursuers could catch up in a blink of an eye. Zhao Yun had no choice but to order the cavalry to turn towards the pass along the pass. The wall was closed and heading north, and the city gate of Fukou Pass was quickly closed under the arrangement of the general guarding the gate.
Seeing the white horse Yi Cong in front of him turning and running towards the north, Lu Bu finally laughed out loud. Ten thousand white horse Yi Cong, surrounded by 30,000 of his own cavalry, would definitely not be able to last for more than half an hour.
Thinking that he was finally going to wipe out the most elite cavalry of the Tang Army, Lu Bu couldn't help but laugh heartily again, and all the depression accumulated in his heart these days was swept away.
Fukou Pass is located in the Xiangtang Mountains in the remnants of the Taihang Mountains. The pass is between the Shenmi Mountain and the Nangu Mountain. After Zhao Yun led the Baima Yi Cong to change the route, he followed the Xiangtang Mountains all the way north, but only went north from here. About eighty miles away, there is a river blocking the way. This is a river that originates from Wu'an, goes north along the western foot of Zishan Mountain, and then turns eastward at the northern foot of Red Mountain.
The narrow area more than ten miles south of this river called Mingshui and several miles east of Hongshan and Zishan is the battlefield chosen by Lu Su and Zhao Yun for the Zhao army's cavalry.
Seeing Bai Mayi turn again and flee to the north, Lu Bu did not continue to speed up the pursuit, but slowed down slightly. He had to wait until all the subsequent troops arrived before arranging the pursuit.
Soon the other cavalry from the five schools rushed to Lu Bu's side. Lu Bu glanced at Cao Xing and said: "The Bingzhou wolf cavalry was the vanguard, following closely behind the white horse Yi Cong. Cao Xing led the remaining 15,000 cavalry to follow closely. Afterwards, be careful of the Fukou Pass reinforcements behind you. If they dare to send troops to support, keep them all. However, I feel that the cavalry that Fukou Pass can gather together with the escaped soldiers and horses in Handan City is at best. Four to five thousand cavalry."ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general will definitely keep an eye on the reinforcements at Fukou Pass. However, Zhao Yun is Huangfu Chaobo's general second only to Huang Zhong. The general is worried that he has other tricks, so he still Please pay more attention, Your Majesty!" Cao Xing replied respectfully;
"Don't worry. If you are attacking the city, I still have to be careful. Now on this vast Hebei plain, Zhao Yun can use whatever other tricks he has. He is fighting with cavalry. I have never been afraid of anyone." Lu Bu He sneered softly;
Cao Xing thought about it, and it was indeed true. On the plain, everything could be seen at a glance, and he was not afraid of any small moves by them.
Soon, the 15,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry set off again, chasing after the white horse Yi Cong, while Cao Xing led his 15,000 ordinary cavalry, a quarter of an hour slower, and Lu Bu's After the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry opened a distance of one or two steps and saw that there was nothing unusual in Fukou Pass, they followed the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry in hot pursuit.
After Fukou was closed, Colonel Zuo stood on the gate tower and watched the Bingzhou cavalry march away.
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. At this time, there were not more than 5,000 cavalry in Fukou Pass as Lu Bu had expected, but more than 8,000 cavalry. In addition to the more than 2,000 cavalry brought back to Fukou Pass by Colonel Zuo, In addition to the cavalry and the hundreds of cavalry already present in the pass, there were also a full 5,000 cavalry sent by Wei Jun. The total of all the cavalry exceeded 8,000.
And another 7,000 assault cavalry, 10,000 Tiger and Camp cavalry, 5,000 Luoyang cavalry and 5,000 Hanoi cavalry, a total of 27,000 cavalry have been ambushed in Jiulong Mountain south of Zishan, where Cao Xing's 15,000 cavalry are. Arranged ambush location.
According to Lu Su's inference, after seeing Zhao Yun's white-horse loyal followers, Lu Bu would definitely lead the Bingzhou wolf cavalry to pursue him, and let Cao Xing lead the ordinary Zhao cavalry to break up the rear. In this way, the gap between the two cavalry units It will create some distance. The ambush was to use this distance to set up an ambush circle for Cao Xing's fifteen thousand cavalry.
Of course, the current distance between Cao Xing and Lu Bu is only two or three miles, which is definitely not enough. So after Cao Xing leaves Fukou Pass a few miles away, Zuo Xiao will lead the eight thousand cavalry in Fukou Pass. Follow Cao Xing's army, and then try to delay Cao Xing's army, thereby widening the distance between the two armies.
Seeing that Cao Xing and his cavalry had gone away, Colonel Zuo looked at He Ge and said: "Colonel He, I will leave the Fukou Pass to Zhuang!"
"Don't worry, General, He Ge will not be trusted! I wish General success!" He Ge quickly bowed and saluted;
Colonel Zuo nodded, turned around and walked towards the bottom of the gate. Behind the gate, more than 8,000 cavalrymen had already prepared, waiting for Colonel Zuo's order to set off.
After walking down the wall, Colonel Zuo turned over and climbed onto his horse. He flicked the reins and shouted loudly: "Open the door and let's go!"
"Boom boom..."
With his order, the gate of Fukou Pass opened again, and 8,000 cavalry rushed out of the gate like a flood. Soon, all of them left the pass, lined up in several rows outside the pass, and then headed in the direction where the Zhao cavalry left from the north.
On the wall of the pass, Hege watched the cavalrymen go away until they were far away from the pass, then he retracted his gaze and ordered the soldiers around him: "Close the city gates. From now on, no one can easily open the city gates without my order. Those who disobey the order will be punished by military law!"
"Yes!"
...
More than ten miles north of Fukou Pass, Cao Xing was leading his cavalrymen to gallop in the direction where the Bingzhou Wolf Riders left in the north. Suddenly, the soldiers around him shouted to him: "General, the scouts behind are catching up, it seems that something is wrong!"
Cao Xing looked back and saw that there were indeed several scouts chasing from behind. The leader was the scout captain he arranged to monitor Fukou Pass. Seeing this, Cao Xing couldn't help but feel moved. Could it be that Fukou Pass really sent reinforcements?
