The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 237 Exploring the confrontation, cavalry raids

"thump!"

Suddenly, the already crumbling gate of the village collapsed.

The Falcon Riding Camp actually broke through the strong gate with flesh and blood.

For a while, it took a lot of physical strength because the Falcon Riding Battalion hit the gate of the village.

At this moment, Zhang Liao's Wolf Cavalry Army and Zhao Yun's Flying Eagle Army charged into the camp first!

It's just that the Taiping army who prevented Gao Qi's army from breaking the village saw that even the gate of the village was knocked open!
For a moment, who dared to resist, were frightened and fled in all directions.

In an instant, the Wolf Cavalry Army and the Flying Eagle Army followed in the footsteps of the rout and chased straight up.

Afterwards, Gao Qi personally commanded the iron cavalry behind him and went straight into the army tent.

I saw that after entering the Taiping Army camp, Gao Qi ordered: "Pass down the general order!"

"The ministries should not take killing the enemy as their mission, set fires everywhere, and create chaos."

After hearing the military order, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and others will immediately change their tactics.

Instead of chasing the Taiping defeated soldiers, he led his iron cavalry to run wildly around the camp.

And holding the torch high, wherever he passed, the flames suddenly burst into the sky.

Countless military tents were ignited, and the thick fire seemed to be like the afterglow of the setting sun.

It is only said that although the various ministries were creating chaos, they also encountered soldiers from the Taiping Army who formed a group.

However, Gao Qi's army broke through the camp and made a surprise attack, which already made them lose their courage.

Coupled with the blessing of its Gaoqi skill 'God of Riding', the combat effectiveness of the iron cavalry under his command is even more incomparable!

Therefore, wherever he went, if he met a Taiping sergeant, a massacre would still start.

For a moment, inside the Taiping Army camp, not only was the fire surging into the sky, the smoke filled the air, and a strong smell of blood was flying in the air.

It's just that the Jingzhou iron cavalry is showing its might in the Taiping military camp.

But the messenger rushed over on horseback and reported: "General, the Taiping Army has returned to chaos."

"Right now, Feng Yunshan, the commander of the Taiping Army, is leading the army to outflank our army!"

Hearing this, Gao Qi looked towards the back of the camp, and he really found that the army behind him was full of fire.

It seems that a large army is coming at a gallop!

"Decree, all ministries must not love to fight, retreat quickly!"

Immediately, Gao Qi didn't dare to neglect, and quickly gave the order to retreat.

The Jingzhou Army has strict military discipline.

Now that Gao Qi has issued an order, how can the generals not obey it?
All of a sudden, Jingzhou iron cavalry took advantage of their speed and quickly withdrew from the village.

Immediately, disappeared into the night!

This really reflects the old saying 'come without a shadow, go without a trace'!
The Taiping Army who came after them had no choice but to look at each other bitterly.

This time the Jingzhou army robbed the camp, the reason why Feng Yunshan did not appear in the front camp immediately was stable.

The reason is also because the fighting power displayed by the Jingzhou iron cavalry is too strong.

Feng Yunshan never expected that the Jingzhou cavalry would have such a strong impact.

He was able to forcefully rush through the gate of the village in a short period of time, and then quickly entered the account.

At that time, Feng Yunshan knew that the only correct choice was to gather troops and fight back.

Therefore, Feng Yunshan did not appear on the battlefield immediately, but gathered the defeated soldiers in the rear.

Seeing the Jingzhou army cavalry disappear without a trace.

Immediately, Southern King Feng Yunshan summoned the quartermaster and asked, "What is the loss of our army this time?"

Hearing this, the quartermaster seemed to have investigated it a long time ago, and replied in a calm manner: "Nan Wang, this time, the cavalry of the Jingzhou Army are just running around in the camp."

"Ignition of the military tents was not focused on killing the enemy, so our army did not lose much power."

"And because our army extinguished the fire in time, the fire did not spread to the rear camp."

"Therefore, the materials stored in the rear camp of our army have not been lost."

For a while, after hearing the report from the quartermaster, our side suffered little loss.

Feng Yunshan was truly relieved.

However, the quartermaster's next sentence shocked Feng Yunshan.

"It's just, King Nan! Although there are logistical supplies and casualties, there are not many losses."

"However, in the past two days, our army has aggressively deployed deep trenches and high fortifications, and has set up a solid line of defense."

"It's all in the middle of the fire, and it's all destroyed!"

In an instant, it was only said that the quartermaster reported to Feng Yunshan again.

Southern King Feng Yunshan finally felt the severity of the incident.

After all, the premise of encircling the point to fight for aid is that the Taiping Army's camp needs to be able to withstand the onslaught of Jingzhou's reinforcements.

Therefore, after ordering the army to besiege Chen County, Feng Yunshan would spare no effort to build deep ditches, high fortifications and strong defenses.

In this way, the Jingzhou army was held back, so that it fell into a food shortage situation and retreated without a fight.

However, after this blow, the defense built by the Taiping Army has been destroyed.

…………

the next day, early morning

The Taiping Army continued to build a defense line with deep trenches and high fortifications.

However, Gao Qi, who has experienced many battles and has a very keen eye, quickly analyzed the Taiping Army's plan.

For a while, the order came down!

The cavalry of the Jingzhou Army was divided into several divisions, with Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Shigui attacking the Taiping Army from time to time.

Although Feng Yunshan finally sent a large army to cover the soldiers who built the defense line.

However, Jingzhou cavalry is so mobile, how can they be afraid of the army?
In the end, under desperation, the idea of ​​​​building a defense line with deep trenches and high fortifications had to come to an end.

Hearing that the Taiping Army had given up building defenses, Gao Qi stopped tossing about immediately.

He ordered the construction of a big camp for recuperation.

After all, this time Gao Qi was worried about the situation in Chen County, so he handed over the military power of the army to Xue Rengui and Wang Wang Xuance to command.

Afterwards, Gao Qi personally commanded the cavalry under his command to take a step ahead and gallop towards Guiyang.

Not to mention the consecutive hundreds of miles of raids, and immediately robbed the Taiping Army camp after rushing.

Under such a high-intensity exhaustion of physical strength, if it weren't for the Jingzhou army's strong combat strength, it would be a veteran of many battles.

I am afraid that if it were replaced by an ordinary army, it would have collapsed long ago.

However, even so, the Jingzhou cavalry is gradually unable to take it anymore.

If it is not taking a rest, it will not be able to continue the subsequent battle.

…………

Taiping Army Camp

"Now the Jingzhou cavalry is harassing our army by virtue of its mobility."

"As a result, our army cannot carry out defensive construction."

"This king intends to rely on a solid fortress to resist Jingzhou's reinforcements, so as to exhaust the stage of food and grass."

"But, now..."

For a moment, Southern King Feng Yunshan couldn't help but lose his mind, not knowing what to do next.

Hearing this, he pondered for a moment, and the general below slowly stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Nan Wang, what is the plan for today!"

"The only thing we can do is to recharge our batteries and wait for the arrival of the Jingzhou Army."

"Then start a decisive battle with the Jingzhou army!"

"Victory, our army can take advantage of the victory to pursue, take the capital of Guiyang, and then continue to march north."

"Defeated, I'm afraid our army has no choice but to retreat to Lingnan, and there is no chance to attack again."

Following this general's suggestion, Feng Yunshan pondered for a while.

He unexpectedly found that a decisive battle was the only way in front of him, and he had no choice.
