Chapter 3430 Unsung Hero

Under the moonlight, Xu Chu and his men were rushing towards Suoyang Pass.

Xu Chu was already very cautious, and he did not focus on Suoyang from the beginning.

After all, the road in Suoyang Pass has been in disrepair for a long time and is not a very suitable direction for cavalry advancement.

Just like the cement roads in later countrysides, they were either unable to take cars, but the roads were narrow and it was easy to either encounter the bricks or rub their own car paint.

So the focus should be on the road.

But if Cao's army could be drawn, then Xu Chu would certainly not miss the opportunity to attack Cao's army in the wild.

As for entering the Cao army camp, Xu Chu suffered a loss in the Anyi camp before, so he naturally could not advance lightly.

Until there is enough information or the defensive fortifications in the Cao army camp, Xu Chu will not throw large-scale soldiers into the attack on the Zhongtiaoshan camp. After all, this is almost like opening up a road with flesh and blood.

What the Cavalry now needs is to maintain their advantages rather than sacrifice their lives to fight and make every effort.

Xu Chu would not do such a stupid thing.

So Xu Chu agreed to his always-out strategy, and worked together to pull Cao's army as much as possible, looking for opportunities to defeat Cao's army from the movement.

The Cao army had few cavalry anymore, which made Xu Chu more free to move on the outside, but Xu Chu did not always press all the troops on the front line of the Cao army, but instead harassed them in turn. This not only ensures that each unit is active and keeps its vitality, but also makes all troops not too tired and consumes too much horsepower and physical strength.

Without many cavalry, Cao's army lost the ability to conduct raids in the field.

So Xu Chu naturally focused more on how to tear and break Cao Jun's turtle shell.

The troops that Cao's army fought for Suoyang Pass were intentionally released by Xu Chu.

The Cao army in the camp is easy to fight, or the Cao army that runs out is easy to fight?

This can be concluded without much consideration.

But is this really the case?

Xu Chu knew that Cao's army was going to recover Suoyang Pass, so did Cao's army know that Xu Chu was peeping around?

Under the moonlight, the iron cavalry rushed.

"How many Cao troops are there?" Xu Chu asked the scouts who came to report, "Who is the general of Cao troops under his command?"

"In the dark night, I can't see clearly, but according to the torch, there are at least three thousand people!" The scout responded, "The flag of the leader general is written about the general of the Protector!"

Xu Chu exhaled, "Ha! It's him again!"

As the troops marched, they passed the earthen plateau, and the light and fire on the thin mountains in the distance gradually became clearer.

"No! Cao's army has come more than three thousand!" Xu Chu narrowed his eyes and estimated it, and then came up with an approximate one, "There should be five thousand...but this is better!"

This is a piece of fat!

So Xu Chu no longer concealed his whereabouts, and rushed out of the hiding gully with his cavalry, and rushed directly to Cao's army fighting at Suoyang Pass!

Xu Chu's vanguard military academy led his 300 cavalry and another military academy. After receiving the order from Xu Chu, he walked away from the headquarters and quickly went out to the flank of Cao's army.

Xu Chu's array probably looks like a trident, but the tips of the two wings will protrude forward a little further.

This way, we can check whether there is any danger on the flanks of Xu Chu's headquarters, and it can also play a role in encircling Cao's army.

The Forward Military Academy was a little nervous and a little excited. He strengthened his troops from Pingyang to Xu Chu's army.

His father followed the General of the Cavalry for many years. Later, when he got older, he retired and became a minor official in Pingyang. His life was quite good. In daily life, his favorite thing was to tell others about "Yang Ye"...

Now, it’s his turn to show his courage and gain military achievements!

It is not that easy to become a Hussar.

First of all, you must be agile and not be too big. Although there are exceptions, most Hussar cavalrymen are relatively small in weight and cannot be too short. In these cards, a large number of people cannot meet the standards.

At the moment, there are not many people who have overweight, but not everyone can meet the standards when they are agile and tall.

If you meet the standards, you still need to train. At least half a year of high-intensity training, you must be with the war horses when eating and sleeping.

Only when the war horses and cavalry are intimate and cooperate with each other can they be considered a qualified Hussar cavalry.

While thinking about how to implement Xu Chu's tactics next, the military academy led his men to the side.

Stars and moonlight, war horses gallop.

Crushing over the earth slope and crossing the plateau.

Suddenly, the military academy felt the horse under his crotch erecting his ears, twisting his neck uneasy, and turning to a certain direction...

The military academy was shocked!

At this moment, he heard a familiar voice!

『Rising a shield! Left wing!』

The military academy shouted almost instinctively, then reached out and raised the cavalry shield from his side, bent down to reduce the area of ​​the arrow, and used the shield to cover his vitals and the neck of the war horse.

『Bang! Bang!』

『Swoosh swish swish!』

Arrows break through the air with the sound of bowstrings!

At this time, the military academy saw a lot of black shadows appearing on one dirt slope!

『Cao Army Archer!』

『Rise the shield!』

Arrows roar down.

Some of the cavalry who were unable to react in time were shot by Cao's arrows. If it was an ordinary part, they could still grit their teeth and continue to run forward with arrows. However, if they were unfortunately shot into the vital point, they would be dismissed amid screams.

In the battlefield, under the swords, guns and arrows, everyone can only shake the dice of fate. Some people seem to be able to shake twenty points forever to save all damage, while others will only shake a little and suffer various critical strikes at any time.

"Can't stop!" The military academy shouted, "Come with me!"

The military academy understood that if you stop because of an attack, it will not only not reduce the probability of being shot, but will instead cause the cavalry in the rear to become a regiment and eventually become the target of Cao's army's archers!

Continuing to move forward along the ditches is not a good choice.

After all, Cao's army was ambushing here, so they must have made arrangements ahead.

Perhaps some simple tripping ropes can cause the cavalry to suffer a great loss when arrows roar around.

So the only option now is to go straight to the earth slope!

Rush up!

If there is no road, just break out!

The Cao army obviously underestimated the elite level of the Hussar Cavalry and the tacit understanding of cooperation between the Hussar Cavalry and the war horses.

According to the original pattern and routine of fighting with Shandong, Cao's army built an ambush position on the flanks. It did make a bet on the cavalry troops sent by Xu Chu, and also attacked by arrows, causing considerable damage to the Hussar cavalry. However, Cao's army never expected that these Hussar cavalry did not continue along the ditches, but wanted to go directly to the ditches!

Tugou, as the name suggests, is earth on both sides.

Although the glacier movement in ancient times cut the loess into ditches and the slope of the soil wall was relatively large, in the following years, under the erosion of wind, sand, rain and water, these ditches with nearly vertical slopes also collapsed and showed a relatively slow slope.

Under normal circumstances, these slower slopes are not very good at running horses, but the situation is special now!

The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and the chicken climbed up the tree in a hurry!

When the horse is anxious, it is flying over the eaves and walking on the wall!

If you face the earth slope that is facing such a large angle, you can't run up in most cases, but if you cut it up in an oblique direction, then there is a chance that you can jump up to some relatively low soil walls before you can't control the center of gravity!

Cao's army obviously did not expect that the Hussar Cavalry would be so fierce!

The Cao army originally thought that as long as they shoot down on the dirt slope, it would be fine. No matter how strong the Hussar cavalry was or how good the armor was, it might not be able to cover the whole body. Moreover, even if the Hussar cavalry continued to rush forward with the damage, the Cao army was not afraid. If the Hussar cavalry was arranged in front of the gully, it would definitely be able to eat this Hussar detachment! If the Hussar cavalry immediately turned to the rear army and retreated directly regardless of casualties, it would be an acceptable result for the Cao army. After all, it would not be easy to find a perfect place to ambush at night in a hurry. If Cao Hong had not had a deep understanding of the surrounding terrain, even if he wanted to ambush, he might not have been able to find a suitable place.

According to Cao's experience, it is already rare to be able to turn on the spot and withstand arrows after being attacked, and retreat as much as possible. Moreover, there are not many military generals who can do this. Most military generals directly rush forward with the bullet and then die more...

As a result, no one expected that the Hussars had no intention of escaping, but chose to directly attack the earth slope!

『Crazy! They are crazy!』

The soldiers of Cao's army shouted, as if they were the ones who were ambushed.

A person's jumping ability is actually not high. If you don't master certain skills, you can't even jump up one meter. Of course, there is no back-leap technique for war horses. Even so, most war horses can jump to 1.5 meters, and some particularly excellent war horses can jump to nearly two meters...

If you add the height of the war horse and the height of the war horse running diagonally on the earth slope, the two or three meters of earth slope is not as insurmountable as Cao Jun imagined!

The war horse jumped upwards in a diagonal manner and finally rushed down the earth slope, but the military academy took advantage of the war horse's rushing to the earth slope.

Although he couldn't stand firm when he landed, and a donkey rolled up before he got up, the surrounding Cao soldiers were surprised and did not have time to switch weapons from far and near to pounce on them and strangle them. Some even took two steps back in fear, as if they were cooperating and gave up some space for the Cavalry Academy!

As the military academy pounced on the earth slope, other Hussar cavalry followed suit and rushed upwards!

"kill!"

The Cavalry Academy was not afraid of many Cao's soldiers. With a roar, the sword in his hand was electric, and the Cao army, who was closest to him and was still busy throwing his bow and arrows to change his sword and gun, slashing over with one knife.

『Kill him!』

The leader of Cao's army shouted and pointed at the Cavalry Academy.

Not all Hussars can jump onto the earth slope, but as long as there are a few who have firm footholds and then hang down the ropes they carry, there will be more and more Hussars who will climb the earth slope soon, and the so-called advantage of the Cao army's geographical advantage is gone!
