Chapter eight hundred and forty eight: a fire
Wen Yaowu was defeated in an attack and fled in panic, which shocked Cao Ge. The fierce battle lasted for most of the day. Seeing that the momentum was not good, the Ming army still did not dispatch a master-level thug, which made Cao Ge mistakenly think that the other party was not equipped with such a formation-pressing master here. Unexpectedly, the opponent was so insidious that he was actually waiting for him here.
He immediately glanced at the entire battlefield, but his heart was settled. With the addition of ten thousand county soldiers, the battlefield situation had completely tilted to his side. Without the help of the master, it would be fine. Wen Yaowu could only drag the Ming army's He Rentu for a long time. When the overall situation is certain, even if He Rentu killed Wen Yaowu and came back, what role could he play? Could it be that he still wanted to compete with the army with his own strength?
"Press up the whole line and wipe out these wise men!" Cao Ge shouted angrily, whipping up his horse, and striving forward. His goal was to the central army flag of the Shanshan Camp.
Shaking the mountain, the cheetah began to shrink the front line. As the sound of the military horn sounded, all the soldiers began to gather towards the central army's banner. Several, dozens, and hundreds. More and more people formed the most tightly defended circular formation with the central army's banner as the core. The circular formations on the inside and outside flowed forward and opposite sides. After several round trips, all the Qi army in the circular formation were wiped out. The spears were like forests and the long swords were like snow. Two large circular formations separated by more than a hundred steps were immediately formed.
Attack, as fast as fire, as defending, as steady as a mountain. The two circular formations are moving slowly and slowly, which makes the Qi army a little dazzled. Maybe if you blink your eyes, the enemy in front of you has changed another person. The two inner and outer circular formations are moving in the opposite direction.
Although the Qi army had an absolute advantage in the battle, it now pushed the two Ming army battalions to the center of the battlefield and surrounded them on all sides, but the opponent was like a stubborn stone in the sea, letting you blow the wind and waves, and he remained tall and unmoved.
Under the night, a team of cavalry rushed towards the millstone like ghosts. All the horse's hooves were wrapped in cotton cloth, which made the horse's hooves fall to the ground and the sound was minimized.
They were the Liehuo Death Camp. This was also Qin Feng's biggest victory or defeat in order to change the situation of Mopan. When Cao Ge's cavalry was attracted by Yu Zhuifeng Camp and left the Mopan battlefield far away, the Qi army's cavalry general Xie Lin probably never expected that there was another cavalry hidden in Xiaotang Mountain.
Zhuifeng Camp was in Xiaotang Mountain, which was the information that the Qi army had already discovered. Xie Lin drove his troops to the scene, but his opponent left Xiaotang Mountain and ran towards Songshuling. Cheng Lin rushed to chase after him. What he didn't expect was that the reason why Zhuifeng Camp had to station in Xiaotang Mountain was to hide the secret of the two thousand cavalrymen in the Fire Death Camp hidden in the mountains.
Two cavalrymen left Xiaotangshan one after another, but Xie Lin threw all the flanks and backs of the Qi army to the enemy.
Xiaotangshan is only ten miles away from the main battlefield of Mopan, and for the cavalry, it is almost close.
After nightfall, Mahou, who had been waiting for the news in Xiaotangshan anxiously, finally came to wait. When the visitor told Mahou that Cao Ge had put all the reserve troops into the battlefield and the two sides were in a stalemate, Mahou had already jumped up and turned over the horse. Two thousand cavalrymen of the Fire Death Camp left Xiaotangshan and rushed towards Mianpan.
Five miles away from the millstone, there is no need to hide your own movements anymore. Each of the two thousand cavalrymen held a torch, like a rushing fire dragon, suddenly appeared between heaven and earth.
The cotton cloth wrapped around the horse's hooves was removed, the iron hooves fell, the ground trembled, and shouts started to rush to the clouds.
Cao Ge turned around in confusion, and what caught his eye was the blood-red fire sword skeleton flag illuminated by countless torches. He opened his mouth wide and his eyes widened.
The Liehuo Death Camp, weren’t they in Wangjiazhuang? How could they appear behind their side? What about Xie Lin’s cavalry? What about the Ming army’s Fengfeng Camp?
Before Cao Ge could figure it out, the Fire Death Camp had already rushed into the battlefield. On the chaotic battlefield, the Qi army was crazily besieging the two Ming army battalions that were defending on the spot. They never dreamed that at this time, a cavalry would suddenly appear and be thrown into the battlefield.
The key is that this cavalry belongs to the enemy.
When there is no strict queue, no long-range weapons or various obstacles to kill, cavalry is a nightmare for infantry. Heavy armored cavalry like the Fire Death Camp is an army that infantry never wants to encounter. Because even if you have a neat queue and cover, you will have to pay a heavy price to resist their impact. What's more, now, the Qi army has no military formation at all, and of course there is no means to hinder the opponent's impact.
In Hengdian, Zhongping County, Qin Feng once used heavy infantry like the Miner Battalion with long-range strikes to successfully block the impact of the Qin army's heavy cavalry. This has become a model for infantry and cavalry battles above the Great Six and a model for generals from various countries to study. As strong as the Ming army, troops like the Miner Battalion must be allowed to dare to fight the heavy cavalry head-on.
The equipment of the Liehuo Death Camp is much stronger than that of the Qin heavy cavalry, and its impact and combat power are also several times stronger. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the number one army in the world.
When they rushed into the battlefield, the Qi team finally realized what fear was.
The cavalry repeatedly sprinted, interspersed, and defeated on the battlefield. Every time they passed, countless broken arms and limbs flowed down the ground.
Two thousand cavalry completely changed the situation on the battlefield. The formations of the two battle camps of Cheetah and Shashan scattered, and in a blink of an eye, they had already transformed into square formations one by one.
The cavalry was like a sharp kitchen knife, constantly cutting the opponent open. At this time, the two infantry battalions were like two bulldozers, crushing forward flatly. The Qi soldiers who were driven to the sky and had no way to go to the ground had no resistance in front of the two battalions pushing over to the sharp.
They had only one way, and turned around and ran away.
Escape to Mopan Mountain.
"Retreat to Mopan Mountain." Cao Ge almost shattered his teeth, but what worried him even more was that the middle lane, the Fire Death Camp, which should have appeared in the middle lane, appeared here with him. Is there something wrong with the middle lane? He couldn't believe this was the fact.
Below the hillside of Mopan Mountain, there are lush forests. As long as you enter the forest, the Ming army's heavy cavalry will no longer be used, and there may be a chance of turning around the war.
When the Qi army retreated to Mopan Mountain and counted the number of people, Cao Ge found pained. His attack was completely ruined. Thirty thousand soldiers attacked, five thousand cavalry now disappeared, and 25,000 infantrymen, only more than 10,000 people fled to Mopan Mountain with him. And the last 10,000 county soldiers he invested, and there were less than two thousand people who fled here.
They finally entered the battle, but for the first time they were baptized by the heavy cavalry of the Fire Death Camp. After suffering heavy damage, they completely dispersed. Cao Ge knew that the remaining eight thousand county soldiers would not die too much, and they would be more dispersed or captured.
As Cao Ge expected, when they retreated to Mopan Mountain, the pursuit of the Fire Death Camp ended abruptly. They just patrolled the outside and shook the mountain. The two cheetah camps did not take the opportunity to beat the dogs in the water, but stopped outside Mopan Mountain.
They couldn't beat him anymore, which made Gorge take a breath.
He sat down, and now he needed to clean up his mind well. What should he do next? He knew very well that when he lost, General Guo's plan would be completely bankrupt. If he wanted to turn the situation around, unless Guo Xiancheng won in the middle. He now needs to send someone to make an emergency to Guo Xiancheng immediately.
After thinking hard, a trace of an unpleasant smell suddenly came from his nose. At the same time, more Qi Jun exclaimed, and Cao Ge jumped up suddenly.
What I just smelled was the smell of oil.
Why does it have such a strong smell of oil here?
The sky suddenly became bright. Cao Ge looked up and saw rockets falling from the Ming army's position towards the woods.
"Go away!" he screamed.
Forced them into the woods of Mopan Mountain, which was also part of the Ming army's plan. Cao Ge finally understood.
When the rocket fell into the lush forest, clusters of flames exploded abnormally. Countless fire heads ignited in the woods, and the fire spread in an instant. One by one, the fire heads were connected into pieces before Qi Jun could make an effective response.
The Qi army now had only one choice, and continued to climb up the mountain, because there were no forests in the upper part of Mopan Mountain. If they rushed out of the woods at this time, they would definitely be the second massacre of the Fire Death Camp.
Mahou led his war horse and stood beside Dazhu and Wu Ling. Looking at the burning Mopan Mountain and Qi Jun screaming in the fire and struggling to escape to the top of the mountain, he said astonished: "General Wu, you are such a terrible skill! This time, I am afraid that most of the Qi Jun will be burned to death."
When making the plan, Wu Ling collected a lot of oil and laid it in the middle of the woods, just for the scene in front of him.
"The two armies face each other, either you die or I live." Wu Ling said coldly: "Master Ma, you have used the wrong place to mercy."
Looking at Wu Ling's back as he turned around, Ma Hou grinned. It was said that Wu Ling was the most ruthless general in the Ming army, and he was really right.
"This Qi army is basically no threat. I have to help Yu kill the five thousand cavalry. The big pillar is here for you!" Ma Hou shook his head as he looked at the growing fire on Mopan Mountain.
At the top of the mountain, Cao Ge, whose beard was almost burned, stood in a daze. This fire caused thousands of his soldiers to be buried in the sea of fire. At most, only four or five thousand people could escape from the sea of fire and reach the upper part of Mopan Mountain. They were all in a mess, as if they had just crawled out of a coal cellar. Many people had lost their weapons.
