Fishing net against cavalry?

This is the first time ever! Looking at the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization, I have never heard of fishing nets against cavalry in wars. These two things are not connected at all, but now they appear at the same time on the battlefield in Xuzhou!

Sun Wanling is good at using surprise troops and likes to attack the enemy when facing the enemy. It seems that the fishing net against the cavalry must be Sun Wanling's strategy. (eng.com)

The soldiers holding the fishing nets raised the milky white and tough fishing nets in their hands and spread them into the cavalry formation. Although the fishing nets were small, their actual effect was greatly unexpected.

The limbs of the cavalry were tightly entangled by the fishing net. Even if the war horse tried its best to break free, it could not escape. It could only spin on the spot, with the thickness of the fishing net, which was not as thin as an ordinary fishing net, and most of them were as thick as a little finger.

The war horses under the cavalry were suddenly restrained, and the cavalry lost their advantage of mobility and flexibility, and the cavalry on the horse's back could not even move and turn.

At this time, the soldiers of the Fifth Division who jumped out of the position used big swords to slash at the cavalry that were bound to operate. In an instant, the sword shadows flew everywhere, blood light appeared, and the tragedy on the position was filled with sorrow. After a moment, more than a dozen cavalry were killed by the soldiers of the Fifth Division.

Wu Peifu's war horse happened to be entangled by fishing nets and was besieged by two soldiers of the Fifth Division. However, under the siege of the two, Wu Peifu did not show any sign of decline. Wu Peifu turned his sabre and sprayed a blood arrow. One of the soldiers of the Fifth Division was stabbed on the neck and fell straight into a pool of blood.

Wu Peifu attacked another Fifth Division soldiers with one sword. Looking around, his cavalry battalion was fighting fiercely with the soldiers of the Fifth Division of the Revolutionary Army on the position. Although Wu Peifu's cavalry battalion was an elite division among Cao Kun's division, with high quality of troops and excellent weapons, he did not get any advantage at this time. The two sides fought hard and were evenly matched.

A cavalry and an equal number of infantry were in battle, and even after rushing in advance, the two sides were evenly matched, which made Wu Peifu feel deeply humiliated.

Seeing that the cavalry's advantage had been lost, Wu Peifu had no intention of fighting. At this moment, a signal came from Cao Kun's army: the cavalry battalion immediately retreated to the left wing to defend!

Wu Peifu turned his head and saw that the left wing of the formation was rolling in smoke and dust, and cavalry attacked him!

Wu Peifu pondered for a moment and came to the conclusion that Sun Wanling deserved to be immersed in military affairs for many years. He worked in two ways. On the one hand, he used the frontal position to attract the main force of the cavalry battalion, and on the other hand, he sent a team of cavalry to attack the left wing. Cao Kun as the attacking party, there was no time to build a small horse trap like this on the position of this formation, let alone such a strange fishing net!

With the charge ability of Sun Wanling's cavalry, it is very likely to tear open the defense line of Cao Kun's formation!

Wu Peifu yelled: "Retreat troops and return to the left wing of our formation!"

The other cavalry who were in a difficult battle secretly called for relief. They could not use the advantages of cavalry on the position of the Fifth Division. Instead of fighting hard, it would be better to retreat early and make plans. Most of the cavalry secretly said: I will never fight these infantry holding fishing nets again!

In a moment, Wu Peifu's withdrawal order was made, and the soldiers from other cavalry battalions pulled out of the battle, turned their horses, and prepared to return to their own formation!

When the soldiers of the Fifth Division saw that Wu Peifu's cavalry were about to run, they quickly took turns to chop the hind legs of the war horse with a large blade, and many more cavalry were knocked down.

After Wu Peifu's cavalry battalion escaped from the shooting range of the soldiers of the Fifth Division, the accompanying adjutant took a rough look. After a battle just now, he lost fifty or sixty cavalry!

Wu Peifu felt a pain in pain and had no time to regret it. He whipped his whip and rushed towards the left wing of his own formation. He must not let the cavalry of the Revolutionary Army successfully attack. Then Commander Cao was still in the central army!

The Fifth Division of the National Revolutionary Army.

Wang Rui smiled and put down the telescope in his hand, and said respectfully to Sun Wanling: "Elder General Sun is like a god! A small fishing net can make this cavalry battalion, which is known as the elite in the army, return home in a defeat! Haha!"

Sun Wanling smiled and waved his hand, took the telescope from Wang Rui's hand, looked at the battle situation in the distance, and said, "Tsk tsk, it's a mess, but it's not a break, and the command is determined. Wu Peifu is a talent! It's a pity that he became Yuan Shikai's pawn!"

Wang Rui asked tentatively: "Oh? Does General Sun mean to recover?"

"Haha, I dare not say that I can recover it. It depends on his luck!" Sun Wanling said meaningfully.

Wang Rui didn't say much, and stood side by side with Sun Wanling to see the battle situation.

At the same time, Wu Peifu ran with his whip and rushed towards the left wing of the formation with the cavalry battalion. However, when Wu Peifu led the cavalry battalion to the frontier position of the left wing, he could not see the enemy's cavalry!

Wu Peifu stepped forward and saw many traces of branches dragging on the ground. Wu Peifu slapped his head and shouted, "Oh no, I've been trapped!"

What a sound of attacking the world! Wu Peifu sighed in his heart. He really didn't expect Sun Wanling to use Zhang Fei's trick to arrange doubts in the Three Kingdoms.

Sure enough, Cao Kun's right wing of the formation remembered the sound of killing the sky!

Wu Peifu gritted his teeth: "Run the right wing of our team immediately!"

At this time, the formation was in chaos on Cao Kun's right wing. A team of cavalry emerged from somewhere. Before everyone could react, the cavalry had already rushed into the formation. He raised his sword and fell with blood, and his heads fell to the ground. The cavalry of the Fifth Division wanted to harvest wheat, harvesting Cao Kun's soldiers' heads one by one.

Just as everyone was killing, a sharp-eyed cavalry shouted, "Look, Cao Kun's command!" Everyone stopped, and indeed, in the depths of the position, many officers could be seen entering and leaving the tents!

The sharp-eyed cavalry shouted: "Catch Cao Kun alive! Capture Cao Kun alive!"

Everyone also shouted: "Catch Cao Kun alive, capture Cao Kun alive!"

At this time, Cao Kun happened to see this scene in the command center. Cao Kun grabbed the collar of one of the adjutants and cursed: "Bastard, trash! The thousands of people on the left wing could not stop the hundreds of cavalry!"

The adjutant said in a trembling voice: "Teacher Commander, the soldiers have no time to react when the cavalry comes! Let's retreat first, the formation has been chaotic, and it's impossible to stop these infantrymen!"

"What? Waste! Hurry up and let someone hold me back. As the commander of the first division, how can I escape first? I don't believe it anymore. The strength of a division can't stop hundreds of cavalry?" After saying that, Cao Kun pulled out his own way, "Damn, all the officers and staff officers follow me!"

Seeing that their division commanders rushed out of the command center to fight side by side with them, their morale was greatly boosted, and some soldiers who reacted began to pick out big swords and slash at the horse's hooves.

The cavalry of the Fifth Division rushed several times, but could not break through the defense line composed of the new Beiyang army in front of them. Cao Kun was just behind the crowd defense line, although he was close at hand, he could not capture Cao Kun alive.

Just when the cavalry captain wanted to charge again, a shout of killing suddenly came from behind. The cavalry captain of the Fifth Division looked back and saw that it was Wu Peifu's cavalry battalion who returned to support him!

He returned so quickly! The cavalry captain of the Fifth Division sighed, and then he thought of the order given by the division commander before leaving. The cavalry captain gritted his teeth and ordered reluctantly: "All soldiers obey the orders and withdraw their troops immediately!"

The other cavalry were so excited that they heard that their captain had already given the order to retreat, and then they did not dare to fight. They tightened the reins, turned their horses' heads, and prepared to retreat.

The cavalry captain of the Fifth Division looked at Cao Kun with reluctance, and forced him to give up and retreat with the troops.

As soon as Wu Peifu's cavalry battalion arrived, the Fifth Division's sneak attack on the cavalry on the right wing immediately ran away. Wu Peifu didn't care about pursuing the enemy at this time, and just wanted to protect Cao Kun's safety.

Seeing that Cao Kun was safe and sound, he turned around and saw the enemy retreating, but there was another cavalry landing at the end, looking like an officer. Wu Peifu raised his gun and aimed it. With a "bang", the enemy officer in the distance staggered, but did not fall off the horse. He just lay on the back of the horse powerlessly. It seemed that Wu Peifu hit it accurately.

After the enemy left, Wu Peifu immediately assisted other officers to gather the defeated troops and rebuild the defense line. Cao Kun collapsed in the command center in a daze. The scene just now was too thrilling. If Wu Peifu hadn't arrived in time, Cao Kun's command center might have been taken down.

After the defense line was consolidated, Wu Peifu returned to the tent where Cao Kun's command was located to report.

"Report to the commander of the army, Wu Peifu asked for a meeting!" The guard at the door shouted loudly.

"Let him come in!" Cao Kun moved and walked to the gate of the command center to greet Wu Peifu.

Wu Peifu walked into the tent and immediately gave a military salute. Cao Kun signaled Wu Peifu not to be too polite and said with a smile: "Thanks to Ziyu today! Otherwise, my life would be lost in Xuzhou today, haha!"

Wu Peifu replied in a humble and arrogant manner: "Protecting the division commander is accusation under the prescribed standard, and I dare not claim to be credited!"

Seeing Wu Peifu's expression, Cao Kun smiled bitterly: "What? Ziyu is still blaming me for listening to the advice, do you insist on doing this?"

"Report to the commander, I dare not give it to you!" Wu Peifu replied neatly.

Cao Kun signaled everyone to go down, leaving only Wu Peifu. After everyone left, Cao Kun pulled Wu Peifu down and sighed, "I just hope Ziyu can understand the good intentions of my division commander! Isn't I doing this all for Yuan Shikai to show you! You and I are all under General Nie. Now General Nie serves as the commander of the rebel army's western army. It is natural that he, General Yuan, has a grudge against him!"

Cao Kun has been in the officialdom for many years and naturally sees some things better than Wu Peifu. Although Wu Peifu is brave in fighting, he is far from Cao Kun's advancement in some things.

"What? Marshal Yuan suspected that we colluded with the rebels?" Wu Peifu said in surprise.

Cao Kun signaled in a low voice, the deputy general was not leaving yet!

Cao Kun smiled bitterly and said, "That's not the case. It's just to see if we work hard enough!" Cao Kun signaled the existence of the deputy governor.

Wu Peifu was also a smart person, and he understood immediately, and asked, "What should the division commander do?"

"Occupy Xuzhou! It's also a relief for Marshal Yuan!" Cao Kun's face showed a cold light.

Wu Peifu nodded. Indeed, capturing Xuzhou was the best reassurance for Yuan Shikai.

"I wonder if Ziyu has any plan?" Cao Kun asked, "Is this a war? Wu Peifu is still working."

Wu Peifu thought for a while and said, "Since the Deputy Governor brought so many weapons, especially one of them! I think the rebels must be unable to resist!"

Cao Kun slapped his head: "Yes, why did you forget that weapon? This is the weapon that Marshal Yuan has recently supported him! With this sharp weapon, I am afraid that I can't conquer Xuzhou?"
Chapter completed!
