65. There are pits everywhere
Fang La, who was digging a hole, retreated hurriedly. When the enemy saw it, a heavy rain of arrows came from all over the place. Fortunately, Fang La and others were prepared, and they jumped behind the barrier and hid.
As soon as the arrows were exhausted, the large group of enemies approached the open area in an instant.
Countless light cavalry surrounded a general wearing black armor, riding a tall horse, and carrying a long sword at his waist.
Cai Mao, Commander-in-Chief of Jingzhou Navy!
Cai Mao was resting in the camp fifty miles away from the village, waiting for his men to deliver the looted food, young men and beauties. This was his last vote because he got the news that Changshan Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong would return soon.
Therefore, he specifically asked his captain to set out early tomorrow morning with the loot. He would personally assist the large group of troops and return to Jingzhou to deliver the mission to Liu Biao!
This guy was drinking wine and enjoying himself with a beautiful woman in his arms. Suddenly, his subordinates came to report that the village ahead was attacked by people from Changshan County. The captain was also dead, and all the young men and beauties who had food supplies were rescued!
"What?"
Cai Mao pushed the beautiful woman in his arms away and stood up, shouting angrily: "Who led the team in Changshan County? Wang Kui is a very strong martial artist, but even the governor would stay away from him?"
"I don't know. According to people who escaped, there are only about a hundred people on the other side, plus another one or two hundred unruly people!"
The words of his subordinates made Cai risk vomiting blood: "There are only three hundred people, and most of them are farmers plowing the fields. How is this possible?"
Cai was furious and prepared to go out for revenge early tomorrow morning. One of his counselors advised that launching a retaliatory attack tomorrow would be extremely dangerous. It was impossible to say that Changshan Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong had returned. Tomorrow's attack would most likely be surrounded by the Changshan County army. It would be better to
Tonight, we will carry out a counter-sneak attack tactic. While the opponent is immersed in the relaxed state of just winning, we can sneak attack to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop, seize back the food, the young men and the beauties, and avenge the previous shame!
Cai Mao was overjoyed and immediately mobilized all five thousand troops to attack the village.
Looking at the open plain ahead, Cai Mao felt the heroism of victory in his heart and shouted: "Brothers, rush over and flatten this village. Kill all the old, weak, sick and disabled. Steal all their food, strong men and beautiful women.
Avenge your dead brothers!"
With a wave of the long sword, countless wolf-like light cavalry roared like beasts, waved their swords and spears, and urged their horses to swarm over.
Cai Mao sneered. The front was only five hundred meters away. For the light cavalry, they could arrive in the blink of an eye. He guessed that the defenders of Changshan County were still sleeping in victory. When he woke up, they would be greeted by the arrival of the God of Death.
But the next moment, Cai Mao was stunned!
I saw the light cavalry rushing at the front suddenly stumble, neighing and falling to the ground. They were in close contact with the earth. They fell on their backs and were unable to get up for a while. The light cavalry behind them had no idea what was happening in front of them and kept shouting.
Charge.
Poof, the front hooves of the war horse seemed to have stepped on the air. There was a click, and the front leg of the war horse was broken. The war horse let out a painful cry, somersaulted over, and knocked its owner to the ground.
"What?"
Cai Mao looked confused from behind and lost hundreds of light cavalry in the blink of an eye.
Without their horses, the light cavalry became infantry. They accidentally stepped into a hole in the ground. With a click, their calf was broken, and they screamed loudly in pain.
Such tragic scenes appeared one after another. Finally, I saw clearly what was going on. I saw holes on the ground like a hornet's nest, filled with broken hooves of war horses!
Everyone screamed and hurriedly backed away.
Cai Mao finally arrived, looking at the holes on the ground like a hornet's nest and fell into deep thought!
What a sneak attack requires is speed and the opponent's ignorance. Now that there is such a big movement, the enemy is also alert. They simply light up the torch and see that the open area in front is full of dense pits. Cai Mao's scalp is numb and his feet are numb.
It hurts, as if both feet have been broken.
Cai Mao felt chills all over his body, and then he realized that those people who were hiding just now were the murderers who dug holes and harmed others!
"Otherwise, if we catch you, I will kill you all!" An angry Cai Mao roared to the sky!
"What should I do, Governor?"
The subordinates asked Cai Mao for instructions in great pain.
Cai Mao looked up and saw a dense forest behind the village that looked like smoke under the moonlight.
"The entire team passed quickly through the woods behind Cong Village and killed the enemy as quickly as possible!"
Cai Mao gritted his teeth in anger and vowed to capture the opposing general alive.
But when his light cavalry entered the woods, they were immediately tripped up by the horse ropes, and the mechanism was triggered. Countless bamboo arrows and wooden stakes were launched, shooting countless light cavalry off their horses, causing countless casualties in a short time!
"Stop advancing and get out of the woods quickly!" Seeing that something was not going well, Cai Mao hurriedly urged the entire army to retreat, and finally retreated outside the woods in a noisy manner.
At this time, Cai Mao bit his back molars and said, "Swim across from the small river on the right side of the village. I must kill them all this time!"
As a result, the light cavalry led their horses across the river with chest-high water.
Suddenly, screams rang out, and Cai Mao's heart immediately twitched. He was frightened, and when he heard the screams of his soldiers, his heart jumped with fear!
Chapter completed!
