Chapter 1082 Head-on collision
Wen Qin closed his eyes slightly at this moment, leaning against the war horse, closing his eyes to rest. Although he was rushing forward along the way, Wen Qin kept his strength and did not exhaust all the energy of the cavalry camp, and was always ready for battle.
After arriving in Liangxiang, after a brief rest, the cavalry camp was full of blood on the spot, maintaining high fighting spirit, and being able to join the battle at any time.
The reason why the Xiaoqi Camp advanced wildly was actually to obey Cao Liang's strategic arrangements. If the Bingzhou army attacked Youzhou in a timely manner, Wei Guan and Wang Qi would definitely not dare to go out of the city to fight. They would have to close the city gates and guard the city to the death.
Jixian is a prefecture city with a strong city and complete defensive facilities. In addition, there are many defenders. If Wei Guan and Wang Qi were defending each other blindly, the Bingzhou army would have to attack and take the lead.
The best result of fighting a tough battle is to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 of them. Even if they can conquer Jixian in the end, the Bingzhou army will inevitably pay a huge price for casualties. This is obviously not what Cao Liang hopes to see.
If you want to take Youzhou at the lowest cost, you must attract the Youzhou army to the field. As long as you defeat the main force of the Youzhou army in the field, the defensive power of Jixian will inevitably be greatly reduced. It will be easy to take Jixian again at that time.
But how to attract the Youzhou army to the plains to engage in field battles is obviously not an easy task. Wei Guan was cunning and resourceful, and Wang Qi was brave and good at fighting. One was wise and the other was brave. They could easily give up their advantage in defending the city and put their main force into field battles. They had to have strange tricks.
Cao Liang and Huan Fan discussed it together, and only by using the trick of luring the enemy, letting the cavalry camp look like they are alone and deep, so that the opponent is eager to achieve success and may take the bait.
That's why Cao Liang arranged for Wen Qin to lead the cavalry camp to rush in front alone and deliberately let other troops distance themselves from it. Even if the Youzhou army sent a scout, it would be impossible to confirm that there were indeed ambushes in the Bingzhou army.
After such arrangements, the Youzhou Army will definitely not suspect that this is a trap. Instead, they will think that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and it is difficult for anyone to resist such temptation. As long as you attract the Youzhou Army to the plains in Liangxiang, with the strength of the three major cavalry of the Bingzhou Army, it is enough to crush it.
Moreover, Cao Liang and Wei Qiu Xiu had a conversation and had a deeper understanding of Wei Guan and Wang Qi. Although Wei Guan was very cunning, he did not know much about military affairs, so in terms of military affairs, he would inevitably rely more on the experienced Wang Qi.
Wang Qi is a man who is quite conceited and is a good player in fighting, but he has the habit of despising his opponent. He has been in Liaodong before, and he has not participated in the attack on Bingzhou, so he does not know much about the situation of Bingzhou Army.
Only with weaknesses can we prescribe the right medicine, so this time the trick to lure the enemy into depth was tailor-made for Wang Qi.
After arriving in Liangxiang, the cavalry camp stopped to camp specially. This was entirely due to Cao Liang's instruction. Liangxiang was flat and he used cavalry very much to fight.
The Yueqi Camp and the Tunqi Camp were arranged thirty miles away by Cao Liang and hidden secretly. This distance is often the limit of the enemy's scout soldiers' reconnaissance. At this distance, as long as the Yueqi Camp and the Tunqi Camp stop and deliberately hide their whereabouts, it will be difficult for the enemy's scout soldiers to discover.
The distance of thirty miles is not far away, or close, for Yueqi Camp and Tunqi Camp, this distance is only half an hour. As long as you hear the news of the Youzhou Army's attack, Yueqi Camp and Tunqi Camp will quickly move closer to Liangxiang, form a siege against the Youzhou Army, and annihilate it in one fell swoop.
In other words, this requires the Xiaoqi Camp to have the ability to fight independently for more than half an hour, and to do its best to hold back the Youzhou Army. After the Yueqi Camp and the Tunqi Camp formed an encirclement, they will counterattack and cooperate with the Yueqi Camp and the Tunqi Camp to wipe out 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. Therefore, when Wen Qin was camping, he simply set up some camp tents, and never even buryed pots and cooked rice. He just asked the soldiers to deal with dry food, and then he quickly took the time to rest and was ready to go into the battle at any time.
Moreover, although Wen Qin stayed in Liangxiang, the reconnaissance scope of the Bingzhou Army's scouts had already reached the foot of Youzhou City. The scouts closely monitored all the movements of the Youzhou Army in Jixian City. Once there was an abnormal situation, they would immediately report to Wen Qin.
So Wen Qin knew about the military situation the first time the Youzhou army left the city. After receiving the report, his slightly closed eyes immediately opened. A glimmer of light appeared in his eyes. He stood up and turned over and rode his horse. He was skillful in his movements and did it in one go. His agility was no less than that of a young man.
"Send the order and the whole battalion gathers immediately and prepare to face the enemy!" Wen Qin ordered in a deep voice.
The entire cavalry camp immediately took action. In less than half a stick of incense, all the cavalry soldiers had already boarded the horses and lined up to greet them.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves sounded in the north direction, and the turbulent dust and smoke could be seen from afar. Only the galloping cavalry could stir up such dust and smoke in the high-speed cycling. Obviously, the cavalry in Youzhou came out in full swing and came towards Liangxiang.
An undetectable smile flashed across Wen Qin's mouth. It seemed that Cao Liang's plan to lure the enemy into attack and lead the snake out of the hole was successful. Wang Qi could indeed not withstand the temptation and led his troops to fight.
No matter how strong the Youzhou cavalry is, as long as it is attacked by the three major cavalrymen of Bingzhou Army, there is no possibility of survival. Wang Qi is far away in Liaodong, so he naturally does not know the power of the Bingzhou cavalry. Now he is eager to make a fortune and takes risks to attack. He is fooled by Bingzhou.
"Arrange the array and attack!" Wen Qin saw that the Youzhou Army's cavalry had appeared on the horizon. At the speed of the Youzhou Army's advancement, it would only take a moment to rush up. If the Cavalry Camp stood in place, it would be greatly impacted by the Youzhou Army.
Only when the cavalry runs and uses inertia can they generate impact force. Standing still, they can only be passively beaten. Therefore, Wen Qin issued an order to attack, requiring the cavalry camp to launch a counter-charge against the enemy. When they meet on a narrow road, the brave will win!
With a command, the cavalry battle formation of the cavalry camp immediately set off. They launched an attack at a faster speed and rushed towards the Youzhou army. Both sides were running. The distance was not far away and approached in the blink of an eye. The two cavalry torrents collided head-on, bursting out the most intense sparks.
