The Japanese cavalry captain shouted loudly. He was holding a saber in one hand and a carbine in the other, and he was the first to rush forward.
Since coming out of Dongyang County, the cavalry troops have been in a state of depression. They were blocked first and failed to arrive outside the village in time, allowing Zheng Xiao and the others to escape early. Then they made a mistake in judgment and continued along the Great Plains.
I searched several times, but still found nothing.
Just when they were at their wits' end, news came that Zheng Xiao and others' team had unexpectedly attacked Dongyang County and followed the riot team to capture Dongyang County.
This news made the Japanese cavalry captain furious. He was running back and forth exhaustedly, but the other party had already reached the county seat. This was really unbearable.
Without taking any time to rest, the Japanese cavalry captain immediately summoned all the cavalry, mounted their horses and rushed towards Dongyang County.
But when they arrived at Dongyang County, Zheng Xiao and others had already disappeared, and even the rioting troops had withdrawn, leaving only an empty Dongyang County.
Searching frantically around Dongyang County, the cavalry captain vowed to find Zheng Xiao and cut off his head with his own hands to express his anger.
Later, the cavalry unit received several pieces of news one after another. Each time, it was about where Zheng Xiao appeared and what he had done, which constantly impacted the cavalry captain's endurance.
He raided the Dongyang River bridgehead, turned around and feigned an attack on Zhongbei Town. When the Japanese troops were transferred back, he continued to turn back and pointed to the Dongyang River again. When the Japanese troops chased him again, he turned around again and ran away.
Zhongbei Town.
This unexpected repetition caused the Japanese commanders to collapse. They realized that their minds were controlled by the opponent, the rhythm of everything, and even their own troops were under the control of the opponent, and they had to do something.
Do things you don’t want to do.
After two back and forths, Zheng Xiao took advantage of the opportunity when the Japs' troops were torn out a large hole and easily jumped out with his men, escaping the siege of the Japs. This shows his outstanding military commanding talents.
The more this happened, the more the Japanese cavalry captain wanted to know this elusive and mysterious figure, so he never gave up chasing him, and finally he caught up with him here.
Of course, this was because Zheng Xiao deliberately stayed to attract the attention of the Japanese in order to cover Yue Xiazi and the others' retreat into the Guandong Mountains, and Zhuge Hong also stayed behind voluntarily.
Zheng Xiao was followed by ten special operations team members. These people were all veteran soldiers who had gone through several battles. They had relatively strong combat capabilities and were Zheng Xiao's powerful helpers.
More than a dozen automatic rifles opened fire at the same time, and the Japanese cavalry troops fell off their horses one after another, but the Japanese cavalry behind them still charged forward regardless of their own safety.
While blocking the enemy, Zhuge Hong shouted to Zheng Xiao, "Captain, this is not going to work. We must be surrounded by Japanese troops."
Zheng Xiao nodded, recalling the map he had seen in his mind, looking for the most suitable place to fight the Japanese cavalry.
The idea of finding a location popped into his mind, and Zheng Xiao suddenly felt happy, and then he shouted, "Quick, follow me, I have a place to deal with the Japanese cavalry.
This is a vast wilderness, and there are no crops growing on the ground, but only some alfalfa. At this time, beautiful flowers are blooming, making people look relaxed and happy."
People didn't know why Zheng Xiao chose this place, but they had absolute trust in their captain, so everyone carried out the process without any hesitation.
A dozen people rushed close to the field full of alfalfa, then found a convenient place to pour, and prepared themselves for the arrival of the Japanese cavalry.
The Japanese cavalry really arrived. They and Zheng Xiao and the others had a problem with their front and rear legs. When Zheng Xiao and the others entered the field full of alfalfa, they also reached the edge of the field.
Stopping his horse, the Japanese cavalry captain looked at the field covered with alfalfa and did not dare to send anyone in for a while.
He was worried that there was an ambush by Zheng Xiao here, and he would suffer a loss if he entered.
To be on the safe side, the captain of the Japanese cavalry ordered a cavalryman to go in and explore the way, while he and his men waited outside.
The Japanese cavalryman immediately jumped into the field, then galloped through the alfalfa-filled field, heading straight for Zheng Xiao on the top of a mound not far away.
This mound was about ten meters high, with slopes on all sides, allowing for an attack. Zheng Xiao and the others stopped on the top of the mound and began to set up defensive positions, as if they were preparing to have a good fight with the Japanese cavalry.
Horse hooves flew, and the Japanese cavalry held a saber in one hand, pointing the tip of the saber at Zheng Xiao on the mound, and rushed from one end of the field to the other.
Very smoothly, he successfully crossed the grassland and reached the edge on the other side. Then he turned his horse's head and stood there shouting, "Captain, no problem."
There seemed to be no ambush in this grassland. Except for a few mole holes, the ground was covered with nothing but alfalfa. What they needed to pay attention to when attacking was Zheng Xiao and the others on the mound.
Seeing that the scouts he sent out were okay, the captain of the Japanese cavalry was overjoyed. He quickly raised his sword and was the first to rush out, shouting, "Cavalry, charge."
Behind him, the Japanese cavalry surged over like a tidal wave, crossing the field like wind and clouds. They waved their sabers, with sturdy Japanese horses on their crotches, and charged towards the hills while shouting.
It was getting closer, getting closer, but Zheng Xiao and the others on the hill made no movement. They just looked at them so quietly, as if they were not worried at all about the fierce attack they launched.
The captain of the Japanese cavalry felt a little uneasy, and he had a premonition that things were not as simple as he thought.
The cavalry at the front had already approached the edge of the mound, and their horses' hooves stepped on the soil that was also covered with alfalfa.
With a roar, the cavalry at the front fell down. They were caught off guard and fell far away from their horses. They rolled awkwardly on the ground, and their sabers were thrown aside.
The captain of the Japanese cavalry was dumbfounded. He hurriedly reined in his horse and looked at the mound carefully.
But within his sight, there was no difference there. They were all covered with lush alfalfa. But why did those cavalrymen fall down as soon as they arrived at the foot of the mound?
He didn't understand what was going on.
It is estimated that only Zheng Xiao can understand the secret here.
It turns out that this alfalfa field covers a hundred acres of alfalfa, and the mound is also covered with alfalfa. However, the name of the mound is Qiandongqiu, which means that there are thousands of caves on the mound here.
, that’s how it got its name.
These holes were all dug by moles. The large areas of alfalfa here provided them with abundant food, and the mounds became a good place for them to dig holes and build nests.
Especially on this sunny side, the ground under the alfalfa is almost full of mole holes. Anyone who walks on them without paying attention will get a foot stuck in them, let alone the cavalry.
