Chapter 2271 grasshopper on a rope

Since arriving in Panyu, the Knight Camp has been on standby. Unlike the landing commando, the Knight Camp needs to practice day and night, and all the Knight Camp has to do is wait patiently.

The first battle to attack Jiaozhou was fought by the Knights Camp. For this ace cavalry battalion, the battle in Jieyang was just an appetizer, and they were eager to have more and bigger battles to fight next.

However, the Wu army retreated to a small sandbank island. If the Wei army wanted to destroy the Wu army, they had to land across the river. This was obviously not the specialty of the Xiaoqi Camp, so this battle would definitely not be as good as the Xiaoqi Camp.

However, Yang Hu still issued a war preparation order to the Knight Camp. Although they did not know what the next attack target was, since Yang Hu made such arrangements, it means that the Knight Camp still has a tough battle to fight next.

This undoubtedly inspired the soldiers of the Knight Camp. These days, they have been preparing to go to war at any time, whether it is day or night.

But this wait took more than a month. The long wait made the cavalry a little slackened. After all, no army could maintain a state of preparation for a long time, and it was a long wait. No one knew when the end would be.

Until the Wei army's assault team failed to land, Yang Hu suddenly issued an order to attack the Four Cavalry Battalion in the evening. After Gao Yao's order, General Xu Lin of the Cavalry received the order, he set out overnight.

From receiving the order to setting off, it was only half an hour. If the Cavalry Camp had not prepared for the war in advance, such a little time would not be enough.

However, for the Knight Camp, this is not a matter. For the past month, they have been waiting for this order. Not to mention the order received in the evening, even if they receive the order in the middle of the night, they can complete the assembly within half an hour and set off immediately.

In the early morning, the cavalry camp had already appeared under the Sihui City.

There was no Wu army guarding Sihui City. When the county officials and officials saw the cavalry camp that was as if they were divine weapons from the sky, they were so scared that their legs were weak and their souls were scattered. So they had any thoughts of resistance. They hurriedly opened the city gate and surrendered to the city.

The soldiers of the cavalry camp took down the four clubs without bloodshed, but they only stayed here for a while and then rushed straight to Gaoyao.

The Four Meetings were just a stop among them. The real target of the attack on the Knight Camp was Gaoyaoxia.

Sihui is only a few dozen miles away from Gaoyao Gorge. At the speed of the cavalry camp, it will arrive in a moment.

Gao Yaocheng was stationed with a thousand Wu soldiers, but seeing the Wei army roaring towards him, Gao Yao guard was so panicked that he quickly closed the city gate and sent someone to ask for emergency help from Panyu New City.

With Gaoyao City's troops, they will definitely not be able to defend Gaoyao.

Xu Lin did not wait and see. It was true that the Cavalry Battalion was a cavalry, but if they abandoned the war horses, they were also a croaking elite infantry. Although infantry battalions with heavy siege equipment would come in the future, time could not be guaranteed.

This time, the Cavalry Camp brought some simple versions of the ladder. This ladder is detachable, and each ladder can be divided into several parts. In this way, even if it is riding a horse, the cavalry can carry it.

When using it, you only need to simply assemble it and put it into use, which is convenient and fast, and it completely solves the disadvantage that cavalry cannot attack the city.

Of course, this is just for some cities with few troops and weak city defenses. The Wei cavalry can transform into siege infantry. If they encounter cities with strong cities with many defenders, they must be attacked by infantry battalions with heavy siege equipment such as catapults.

Gao Yao had only more than a thousand defenders, and such a defensive force was completely vulnerable. Therefore, the Cavalry Camp jumped off the war horse and assembled a ladder. After a few moments, the ladder was prepared and immediately launched an attack.

The Wei army's operation made the Wu army's guards stunned. They originally thought that the Wei army was coming to this time, but once they closed the city gate, everything would be fine. Without infantry to attack the city, even if the Wei army came, it would be useless.

But I never expected that the Wei cavalry was carrying a ladder and turned into an siege infantry in an instant. When the Wu army defended the army saw that something was wrong, they immediately abandoned the city and fled.

Gaoyao City was leaning against Yushui, and a cable bridge was built on Gaoyao Gorge. It usually traveled north and south, and basically relied on this bridge. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Wu army guards knew that even if they were defending the city, they could not defend Gaoyao City, so they simply abandoned the city and fled to the south bank. As long as they crossed the bridge and destroyed the cable bridge, the Wei army would not be able to cross Yushui for the time being.

The fast horses they sent must have arrived in Panyu New City, just wait patiently for reinforcements to arrive.

As soon as Tao Ji received the news, his heart suddenly sank. In fact, what he has always been most worried about is that he is afraid that the Wei army will do such a trick. Once the retreat is raided, Panyu New City will become an isolated island and a dead place.

Originally, Tao Ji was not confident enough to stick to Panyu New City, especially in yesterday's battle, the Wu army's performance was really bad. If we look at this situation, the Wei army only needs to attack a few more times, and it will be a matter of time before the northern defense collapses.

At this time, when he heard that the Wei army had attacked Gaoyao, Tao Ji shouted that something was wrong. Once the Wei army took the Gaoyao Gorge, the Wu army would have no way out. He would eventually be unable to escape the fate of destruction when he was trapped in Panyu.

So before discussing with Shi Ji, Tao Ji had actually made plans to withdraw his troops. No matter what Shi Ji's attitude was, Tao Ji had already come according to his own ideas.

After going around in circles, it is a waste of effort. It can be seen how wrong it was to evacuate to this small island. It would be better to go west earlier and you don’t have to face such a crisis.

Seeing Tao Ji's firm attitude, Shi Ji finally gave up the idea of ​​sticking to Panyu New City and agreed to move westward to Jiaozhi.

Thoughts are one thing, but reality is another. The current situation has long deviated from Shi Ji's plan on the spot. What's more, Tao Ji's attitude is quite firm. Shi Ji understands that if Tao Ji really leads his troops away, it will be a dead end to leave.

So he simply gave up his previous thoughts and agreed to Tao Ji's decision.

Now the relationship between the two is completely a grasshopper on the same rope. You can't escape from you or me. Even if you die, you have to die together. If you are defeated by each of the Wei army, you will only die even more miserable.
