Chapter 1340 The Miserable Cao Xing

Remember in one second【】

Three days later, a few miles away from the Great Wall Pass to the north of Pingcheng, Cao Xing's army of more than 30,000 troops had just left the Great Wall Pass. Thirty thousand infantry were marching in formation. From a distance, they looked like elite troops. Around them, a thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry and a thousand ordinary Bingzhou cavalry were surrounding to guard the army. However, although Cao Xing had ordered the cavalry to guard the surrounding ten miles out of caution, it was obvious that these cavalry were not strict. To carry out his orders, after all, we are now in our own country, whether it is soldiers or ordinary generals, plus we have more than 30,000 troops here.

However, what they didn't know was that a cavalry force of tens of thousands was rushing toward them only forty miles northeast of them.

Unlike the generals of the Zhao army, after Huang Xu led the army into Bingzhou, he ordered the army to slow down its march and at the same time spread the scouts thirty or forty miles around the army. The reason why Huang Xu was so cautious was that he did not expect that he would encounter Cao Xing's army who had left Ping County and rushed to Yunzhong to support Zhang Liao.

As early as an hour ago, Huang Xu received the news from the scouts. After careful confirmation, Huang Xu ordered the army to speed up and attack Cao Xing's army forty miles away.

After Huang Xu led the army and marched for an hour, several scouts rushed from the south and soon arrived in front of Huang Xu. The leading young general got off his horse and quickly came to Huang Xu: "General Qi. , Zhao’s army is already fifteen miles southwest!”

Huang Xu heard this, stretched out his hand to stop the army, and ordered: "Give the order, the army will rest for a quarter of an hour, and then the horses will be replaced. The cavalry will be ready to charge into the formation. All idle horses will be handed over to the care of the infantry, and the cavalry will follow up."

Following his order, all the cavalrymen dismounted, handed over their spare horses to the infantry behind them, took out a large amount of black beans from the bags on the horses, fed them to the horses, and took them out from their own arms. He took out a kettle and fed his horses with water. After doing this, the soldiers took out their food and ate from their own kettles.

A quarter of an hour later, following an order from the Chinese army, nearly 40,000 cavalry soldiers got on their horses one after another. Under the leadership of their respective generals, the troops divided into four groups and rushed towards Cao Xing's army in the southwest. Behind them, thousands of infantrymen rode on their own horses, driving fifty or sixty thousand horses, following behind them in a mighty manner.

…

At this time, Zhao Jun, who was immersed in marching, had no idea.

Cao Xing sat on his horse and looked at the 30,000 troops in front of him, with a look of satisfaction on his face. Just when he was about to ask the deputy general, he suddenly heard a dull roar coming from the northern sky. Lai: "Although spring has arrived, it is far from the time when the spring thunder starts. Why..."

wrong,

Having been on the battlefield for a long time, he immediately realized that the sound was not thunder, but the sound of a large group of horses trampling on him. Cao Xing's heart skipped a beat, and he raised his head and looked toward the northeast where the sound came from. What he saw was But it made him tremble with fear.

In his sight, more than a dozen of his own scouts were rushing toward him, running wildly and shouting something. Behind them, a huge black line appeared in the snowy field. Between heaven and earth, it slowly grew larger, and finally turned into a huge wave, rushing towards him.

"Enemy attack!"

"Damn it, where did this cavalry come from?"

"Where did these cavalry come from? Who can tell me?"

Not only Cao Xing, but also many soldiers found something unusual, and there was a commotion among the Zhao army.

Cao Xing's expression changed drastically, and he shouted loudly: "The enemy is attacking, what do the scouts do for food? Why didn't they notice it in advance? Quickly, form a formation to meet the enemy!"

But Cao Xing also understood that looking at the posture on the opposite side, there were at least tens of thousands of cavalry. With such a number of cavalry, there was almost no possibility of other troops except the Tang army, but where did these cavalry come from? Could it be that it fell from the sky?

Soon, Cao Xing realized: "Damn it, this is the army of Yanbei County of the Tang Dynasty!"

Cao Xing was not slow to respond, but at this time, he forgot that he was not commanding the elite army of Zhao State, but the troops of the alien lord that had just been gathered and reorganized. What's more, even the most elite infantrymen of Zhao State will not reap any good results if they are suddenly attacked by tens of thousands of cavalry in the open wilderness.

The 30,000 Zhao army, under the command of generals at all levels, prepared to form in a chaotic manner. However, as time passed, they saw the cavalry in the distance getting closer and closer, but the 30,000 Zhao army was still in a chaotic mess here and there. group.

Upon seeing this, Cao Xing's lieutenant said: "General, it's no longer possible. Let's leave quickly, otherwise no one will be able to leave."

Everyone saw that the cavalry coming from a distance separated into two groups with ten thousand people, and circled around the two wings of their own army. Everyone understood that the other party was going to keep them all here.

"Let's go, how to go? Your Majesty handed over these 30,000 soldiers and horses to a certain person, but they were all destroyed here before the battle started. How can I go to see the king?" Cao Xing shouted angrily with his eyes splitting;

"General, if we wait for the Tang Army cavalry to circle to the south of us, no one will be able to escape. The current plan is that the general can order the army to disperse and break out. We retreat to the Great Wall pass, at least to block the Tang Army outside the Great Wall, otherwise... ..." The deputy general didn't finish what he said, but Cao Xing also knew what he meant behind it.

Now, in addition to the 2,000 cavalry, Cao Xing also has 5,000 infantry. They are the elite selected by Cao Xing from the 30,000 army. Although they are not as good as Zhao's elite army, they are still better than the other 25,000 soldiers. Young Master, these five thousand soldiers are now arrayed around Cao Xing.

To wait.

In the blink of an eye, Cao Xing made a decision. He gritted his teeth and ordered: "Send the order, and all the troops will disperse to break out..."

After thinking about it, Cao Xing pointed to one of the generals beside him and said: "You, immediately lead a hundred Bingzhou wolf cavalry, go south as quickly as possible to warn, and send a warning to the Great Wall Pass and Heping City. I will lead the army back to defend immediately. , we must keep the Tang army north of the Great Wall."

…

An hour later, the entire plain calmed down again. Huang Xu lost more than 200 cavalry, but Cao Xing finally managed to escape back to the Great Wall Pass with only 2,000 cavalry and less than 3,000 infantry. The rest of the troops were killed or injured. Thousands of people were killed, and all the remaining soldiers were captured.

After having more than 20,000 prisoners, Huang Xu's army felt a lot more relaxed. All the grain and grass they seized from Cao Xing and the baggage carried by his own army were handed over to these prisoners for transportation. After cleaning the battlefield, the army continued Raise troops and march westward towards Qiangyin County.

At this time, there were less than a thousand soldiers and horses guarding Qiangyin City. After Huang Xu arrived with his troops, he directly drove the prisoners to attack the city without saying much. In only half a day, Qiangyin was successfully captured. After having a city, , Huang Xu became more calm.
