Chapter 182 Halfway Raid
After Yuan Zongdi issued a military order, 30,000 rebels immediately rushed north with silver carts.
In order to send silver to Xiangcheng before Gao Huan returned from Xuzhou, Yuan Zongdi was invaded Yancheng, and urged the team to turn northwest and head straight to Xiangcheng. At the same time, the rafting cavalry went out everywhere to detect the enemy situation.
There are many soldiers who have broken into the army, but they have never established a system. Not only are they unable to govern the local area, but the military system is not perfect, and they have not established their own intelligence collection system.
There is a system and operation mechanism, which has too many advantages compared to chaos.
For example, in the intelligence system, he can collect intelligence by himself, avoid many dangers in the system and predict the crisis in advance.
Now, Xiangcheng, Yancheng, and Xuzhou are approaching each other. You can draw a triangle shape with lines on the map. Both the enemy and us are under the eyes of each other. There should be no secrets, but Gao Huan can see the movements of the rebel army clearly, but the rebel army is as if they are advancing in the dark.
At such a close distance, a few months ago, the Guoan Department's Seizuo entered Xiangcheng, Yancheng, and even went to Runing and Nanyang to monitor the every move of the rebel army. The rebel army still needed to send scouts to be vigilant in the prefectures and counties they occupied, so Seizuo did not send them to Xuzhou and other places.
At this time, on the road from Yancheng to Xiangcheng, the 30,000 rebels from Xiping County pushed the silver cart and rushed westward.
The heavy silver cart left two deep trajectories on the road. The soldiers of the tide shouted and pushed the cart hard, while Yuan Zongdi stood by the road on horseback, looking at the team that lasted for several miles with anxiety.
"The general of Zheng doesn't have to worry! Gao Huan can't come for a while when he goes to rescue Xuzhou. Besides, General Zheng sent scouts and sent more than twenty miles to release them. There is no need to worry at all. Gao Huan sets up an ambush or suddenly kills him!" The general comforted him.
Yuan Zongdi looked uneasy, "No matter what, if the money is not handed over to the King of Chuang, I will always feel a little uneasy."
At this time, Yuan Zongdi was talking to his subordinates, and a sound of hooves roared. He saw a scout rushing around and shaking from side to side, and shouting in a long voice from a distance, "Report!"
The cavalry held the reins of the horse in front of Yuan Zongdi, panting like a cow, "Report! General, his subordinates found the enemy's ranger and were coming from the north! Subordinate~"
Before the scout could finish his words, his body shook left and right on the horse, and suddenly fell from the horse and fell to the ground. Everyone looked at it and found that there were two arrows behind him.
Seeing this, Yuan Zongdi and the generals immediately looked at each other and were shocked. Something that was worried still appeared.
A general hurriedly turned over and dismounted, helped the scout up, and wanted to ask further, but found that he had fainted.
Yuan Zongdi was gloomy and immediately called out, "So quickly order the horse army to assemble!"
The transport team is too long now, and the red horse team appears. The rebels and horses gathered in the north of the official road, preparing to fight against the red horse team to prevent them from raiding the convoy.
At this time, the rebels and horses quickly gathered together amid the sound of trumpets. The rebels who were escorting silver carts couldn't help but look north and saw a horse suddenly appear on the hill several miles away.
Xu Heihu held the sword and rode a red-brown horse, standing high on the top of the slope, and his eyes scanned the rebels in the distance, like a tiger looking at the flock of sheep.
The rebel army looked at General Chi Bei on the hillside, and then saw a cavalry appearing behind the general and gradually occupying the entire hillside.
When the soldiers of the trespassed soldiers saw the red figures gathering on the hill, they immediately felt like flocks of sheep seeing jackals, and instinctively felt fear.
"Not good! I rushed down!"
The rebels who transported grain saw the red-armored cavalry roaring down the hillside and exclaimed immediately. If the officer hadn't scolded him, they would have turned around and fled.
Yuan Zongdi looked at the rushing enemy cavalry, his face darkened, and he waved, "Camboo Army to fight!"
The rebel army immediately rushed out and launched a hedge against the Red Horse Team that rushed down the hillside.
The two horse soldiers had similar numbers and violently collided in the wilderness. Xu Heihu slashed left and right, killed several cavalry in succession, and came out through the formation.
The red horse team rushed down with high altitude, rushing the rebels and horses into pieces. Wherever the horses passed, dead bodies were scattered on the ground.
Xu Heihu held back the war horse and looked back at the scattered crusade. He did not intend to chase the enemy. Instead, he whistled, rushed up the hillside and stood on the top of the slope again.
Yuan Zongdi looked serious and stared at the Red Horse Team that gathered on the top of the mountain again.
"General, let his subordinates lead their troops to kill them and drive them away!" A general invaded said angrily.
Yuan Zongdi said in a deep voice: "This is just a team sent by Gao Huan to harass and delay the horses, and let the horses monitor the army, and the army continues to move forward and is not allowed to stay."
Military orders were conveyed, and the rebels and horses gathered again to monitor the Chibei army on the top of the mountain.
"Don't look around, keep moving forward!" The general of the rebel army shouted loudly.
The brigade of rebels pushed the silver cart in fear and continued to move forward.
On the hillside, Xu Heihu watched the rebel army continue to go west and immediately raised his sword, "Brothers, follow me."
After speaking, he raised his sword, slapped out his horse, led a hundred red-armored cavalry, and roared down from a high place again.
The cavalry of the rebel army hurriedly fought again and blocked it. This time, Xu Heihu was not fighting with the rebel army, but was fighting with the rebel army. When he found an opportunity, he rushed towards the convoy, which was shocked to scatter.
The army of red-prepared horses was like an eagle catching a chicken, joking about the rebel army, which was so scared that the rebel army was terrified all the way.
Yuan Zongdi only thought that Gao Huan sent a horse army to delay, and the infantry was coming quickly. While sending a message to Xiangcheng and preparing to respond, he led the convoy to go west, intending to arrive in Xiangcheng before Gao Huan arrived.
The rebel army was harassed by Chi Beima's family all the way, and did not dare to fall asleep at night, so they drove onto the torch all night.
The next day at noon, the rebel army marched overnight, and the soldiers were tired, but finally arrived at the territory of Xiangcheng, and the Red Cavalry who had been harassing was gone.
"Start up! Hurry up and rest in Xiangcheng!" Yuan Zongdi stood by the road, looking at the continuous rebel army, shouting loudly, encouraging the tired rebel army.
"Forty miles west, it is Xiangcheng. The enemy cavalry has retreated. It seems that Gao Huan can't catch up!" The blood-shot general in his eyes breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuan Zongdi nodded slightly, and at this moment, a cavalry rushed over.
"Report!"
Yuan Zongdi's heart was tightened, and the scout rushed to the front and said anxiously: "General, there are a large number of enemy troops in front of him. He will use Gao Huan's banner to block our army's way!"
Many of the rebel soldiers were shocked when they heard the words, and Yuan Zongdi was shocked, "Did you say Gao Huan is waiting for me in front?"
After counting the distance, Gao Huan went to rescue Xuzhou. It was impossible to rush over to block the convoy.
However, Gao Huan appeared in front and blocked the convoy's way, which shows that Yuan Zongdi had made a mistake in his judgment from the beginning.
The Red Cavalry that appeared halfway through did not harass and delay their march, but deliberately exhausted the army.
Yuan Zongdi's expression changed drastically, and he clenched his fists with both hands, "Okay, Gao Huan!"
