Chapter 1082: Collision Head-on
Wen Qin closed his eyes slightly at the moment, leaning on the war horse and closing his eyes there, although this road was a hurricane advance, but Wen Qin was retained, and did not exhaust all the physical strength of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and was always ready for battle.
After arriving in Liangxiang, after a short rest, the Xiaocai battalion was even more full of blood on the spot, maintaining high morale, and could be thrown into battle at any time.
The reason why the cavalry battalion rushed forward was actually subject to Cao Liang's strategic arrangement, if the Bingzhou army attacked Youzhou step by step, then Wei Qian and Wang Qi would definitely not dare to go out of the city to fight, and they must close the city gate and defend the city.
Jixian is a state city, the city is strong, the defense facilities are complete, and there are many defenders, if Wei Qian and Wang Qi defend to the death, and the state army can only be forced to take it.
And to fight a tough battle, the best result is to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself, even if you can capture Jixian in the end, the state army will inevitably pay a great price for casualties, which is obviously not what Cao Liang wants to see.
If you want to take Youzhou at the lowest cost, you must attract the army of the Youzhou Army to the field, as long as the main force of the Youzhou Army is defeated in the field, the defensive strength of Jixian County will inevitably be greatly reduced, and then it will be easy to take Jixian County.
But how to attract the Youzhou army to the plains for field battles, this is obviously not an easy task, Wei Qian is cunning and resourceful, Wang Qi is brave and good at fighting, one is strategic, the other is brave, so that they can easily give up the advantage of defending the city and put the main force into the field battle, they must have a strange trick.
Cao Liang and Huan Fan summed it up, and only by using the strategy of luring the enemy, let the Xiao cavalry camp look like a lone army, so that the opponent is greedy for merit and may take the bait.
Therefore, Cao Liang arranged for Wen Qin to lead the Xiao cavalry battalion to rush to the front alone, and deliberately let the other armies keep a relatively large distance from it, so that even if the Youzhou army sent scouts, it would not be possible to determine that the Bingzhou army did have ambushes.
After this arrangement, the Youzhou army will definitely not suspect that this is a trap, but will think that this is a once-in-a-lifetime God-given opportunity, and it is difficult for anyone to resist such a temptation, and as long as the Youzhou army is attracted to the plains around Liangxiang, with the strength of the three major cavalry of the state army, it is enough to crush it.
Moreover, Cao Liang has talked to Biqiu Xiu, and has a deeper understanding of Wei Qian and Wang Qi, although Wei Qian is very deep in the city, but he does not know much about military affairs, so in the military, he will inevitably rely on the experienced Wang Qi.
And Wang Ji is a person who is more conceited, and he is a good hand at fighting, but he has a problem of despising his opponent, he has been in Liaodong before, and he has not participated in the attack of the Youzhou army on Bingzhou, so he does not know much about the situation of the Bingzhou army.
If there is a weakness, it is good to prescribe the right medicine, so this time the plan to lure the enemy into depth is tailor-made for Wang Qi.
After the cavalry battalion arrived in Liangxiang, they deliberately stopped to camp, which was also completely from Cao Liang's instructions, Liangxiang was flat and used cavalry to fight.
The Yue cavalry battalion and the tun cavalry battalion were arranged by Cao Liang to be thirty miles away and secretly hidden, this distance is often the limit of the enemy's scouts, at this distance, as long as the Yue cavalry battalion and the tun cavalry battalion deliberately hide their whereabouts, it will be difficult for the enemy's scouts to find out.
The distance of thirty miles is not far away, but it is not close, for the Yuecai battalion and the tuncai battalion, this distance is also within half an hour, as long as the news of the Youzhou army's attack is heard, the Yuecai battalion and the tuncai battalion will quickly move closer to Liangxiang, form a joint encirclement of the Youzhou army, and annihilate it in one fell swoop.
In other words, this requires the Xiaocai battalion to have the ability to fight independently for more than half an hour, do its best to hold back the Youzhou army, and after the Yue cavalry battalion and the tun cavalry battalion form a joint encirclement, then counterattack, cooperate with the Yue cavalry battalion and the tun cavalry battalion, and completely annihilate the Youzhou army.
Although Wen Qin rested, his mind could not stop for a moment, this place was close to Youzhou, and the Youzhou army would attack at any time, so when Wen Qin was camping, he simply set up some camp tents, and did not even bury the pot to make rice, but just let the soldiers deal with it with dry food, and then seize the time to rest, ready to enter the battle at any time.
Moreover, although Wen Qin stayed in Liangxiang, the reconnaissance range of the scouts of the Bingzhou army had already penetrated under Youzhou City, and the scouts closely monitored all the movements of the Youzhou army in Jixian County, and once there was an abnormal situation, they would immediately report to Wen Qin.
Therefore, Wen Qin already knew the military situation at the first time when the Youzhou army went out of the city, and after he got the report, his slightly closed eyes immediately opened, and the light in his eyes flashed, he stood up, turned over and got on the horse, his movements were skillful, and he did it in one go, and his agility was no less than that of young people.
"Pass the order, and the whole battalion will immediately assemble and prepare to meet the enemy!" Wen Qin ordered in a deep voice.
The entire cavalry battalion immediately took action, and it took less than half a pillar of incense to make all the cavalry mounted and lined up to meet each other.
At this time, in the direction of the north, there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and the stirring dust and smoke could be seen in the distance, and only the galloping cavalry of 10,000 horses in the high-speed gallop could stir up such dust and smoke, obviously the cavalry of Youzhou was pouring out of the nest and killing towards Liangxiang.
An imperceptible smile flashed at the corner of Wen Qin's mouth, it seemed that Cao Liang's plan to lure the enemy to attack and lure the snake out of the hole had succeeded, and Wang Qi really couldn't withstand the temptation and led his troops to battle.
Regardless of the strength of the Youzhou cavalry, as long as it is under the attack of the three major cavalry of the Bingzhou Army, there is absolutely no possibility of survival.
"Array, sortie!" Wen Qin saw that the cavalry of the Youzhou Army had appeared on the horizon, and with the speed of the Youzhou Army's sudden advance, it was only a matter of time before they rushed up, and if the cavalry battalion stood in place, it would be greatly impacted by the Youzhou Army.
The cavalry can only run up and use inertia to produce impact, standing still in place, and can only be beaten passively, so Wen Qin will give the order to attack, requiring the cavalry battalion to launch a counter-charge against the enemy, meet on a narrow road, and the brave wins!
Under an order, the cavalry battle formation of the Xiao cavalry battalion was immediately dispatched, they launched an attack at a faster speed, facing the Youzhou army to kill the past, both sides were galloping, the distance was not far away in the blink of an eye, and the two iron cavalry torrents collided head-on, bursting out the most fierce sparks.
