Chapter 1073 A small victory
Even if the opponent used the marching formation, Yang Rui, Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Taishi Ci commanded 60,000 elite cavalrymen of level 6, but they were not unable to make contributions.
However, if it is a direct blow, there will inevitably be considerable losses. Yang Rui, by his measurement, thought it was worthless, so he kept sticking behind Cao's army commanded by Xiahou Dun, and did not make any moves.
If he had known this was the case, Yang Rui would have brought the formation master Guo Jia by his side. I think he should be very confident that he could break the marching formation of Cao's army. However, Guo Jia has always been weak, and Yang Rui was worried that he would not be able to adapt to the intensity of the emergency marching, so he ordered him to walk with the infantry army.
After accompanying him for a while, Yang Rui found it difficult to gain advantage from the Cao army under Xiahou Dun, so he accelerated to surpass the past. At present, this Cao army was obviously heading towards Fengqiu County, and Yang Rui didn't mind controlling the surrounding area of Fengqiu County first.
Fengqiu County was the first to be affected by the entire Chenliu County location, especially Yang Rui had received news from various places in Chenliu County. At this time, it was basically confirmed that Cao Cao had made up his mind to evacuate Chenliu County.
Fengqiu County is above the strategic focus of the direction of Chenliu County to Sugaruo and Hulaoguan. In the south, southeast and east of Chenliu County, Cao troops in Hulaoguan almost necessarily have to pass through Fengqiu County if they want to go to Hulaoguan.
In such an important strategic place, Yang Rui did not covet Cao Cao's carelessness and ignored the occupation and defense of the place. At least he should have used the battle-free token to use the place as a transfer and retreat node.
When Yang Rui went to Fengqiu County, it can be said that the possibility of seizing the city is not high, but since Fengqiu County is an important strategic priority around, it is definitely ideal to act as a surround point to attack and help the harassment node.
If it is impossible to say that Yang Rui's army is going to Fengqiu County, it is to interfere with the Cao army's troops who have passed by, using the mobility of the cavalry to seize opportunities and try to eliminate the vitality of the Cao army.
Yang Rui's strategic intention was quickly proven to be feasible. Just when he was one fifth of the way from Fengqiu County, the cavalry department headed by Yang Rui had already tended to be southeast of Fengqiu County, and happened to encounter Cao Cao's troops all the way.
This Cao army was Shi Huan's troops who retreated from Yongqiu County, southeast of Chenliu County. There were about 20,000 infantry soldiers. At this time, they happened to arrive in Fengqiu County. After a little rectification, they retreated to Hulaoguan.
However, Shi Huan and his subordinates marched to the vicinity of Yang Rui's troops by chance, and were discovered by the whistle detectives using flying pets early in the morning. They were still unaware that they were approaching silently by Yang Rui's cavalry.
Regarding the "Shi" flag that appeared in the Cao army, Yang Rui did not remember that there was such a person in Cao Cao's army.
According to the information discovered by the sentry using flying pets, the scale of this Cao army was not too large, and almost all of them were composed of ordinary infantry, which should be difficult to withstand the impact of the cavalry. Yang Rui then led his troops to launch a raid.
"Get! Get! Get..."
"Xilulu..."
"Kill! Kill..."
“…”
Originally, the speed of the 6th-level cavalry under Yang Rui was very impressive, and it was launched a surprise attack when the distance was very close. It was too late to react when Cao's army discovered the situation.
"ah!"
"Help……"
“…”
There is a world of difference between being prepared and not being prepared on the battlefield, especially in the cold weapons era under the background of the game. For a time, more than 20,000 Cao's army under Shi Huan were killed and turned over and became chaotic, and it began to collapse immediately.
Half an hour passed, except for a very small number of Cao's soldiers who escaped by chance, there were no intact people on the battlefield. There were Cao's soldiers everywhere, most of them were dead, and a small number were still hanging in a breath.
Including the chief general of the Cao army, Shi Huan, was captured alive by Yang Rui's general Zhao Yun, and there was no room for resistance. After all, in front of Yang Ruiqing's cavalry, the number of Shi Huan's troops was very different, so it was not easy to escape.
In the end, Shi Huan's many guards and his horses exposed his identity. After being rushed to Zhao Yun's soldiers, he easily pulled him out. He shot down his weapon in three moves and two moves, and took it on the horse's back.
Shi Huan was captured alive, and his soldiers had no desire or strength to resist. Under the warning of Yang Rui's tribe, most of the surrounding tribes threw away their weapons and chose to surrender, waiting for Yang Rui's hair to fall, and escaped the fate of being killed on the spot like the robe in front.
This group of people actually had a total of two or three thousand, thanks to Zhao Yun capturing Shi Huan in time. Otherwise, the other party would have said in a hurry that he would fight to the death, and Yang Rui's cavalry would also increase some losses.
"Who kneels down in front of the horse? Why not report your name?"
Taking advantage of the time when the soldiers of his troops were cleaning up the battlefield, Yang Rui also interrogated Shi Huan.
"It's not because I'm willing to kneel down, but because your generals push you. I'm Shi Huan, whose courtesy name is Gong Liu, and now I'm defeated by the Lord. I'll ask you to give me a speech."
Facing Yang Rui's inquiry, Shi Huan replied in a humble manner. After saying that, he frowned and wanted to say something, but he lowered his head.
It can also be seen from his performance that Shi Huan's character and his more cautious personality.
Although he is not familiar with Shi Huan and Yang Rui, and the relevant information he has learned in reality is very limited, after listening to his words and observing his actions, Yang Rui feels that this person should be an available person.
"But it turned out to be General Shi Huan. This is the time when I use people. I wonder if the general is willing to use it for me?"
Yang Rui dismounted directly and helped Shi Huan up. Looking closer, although his face was fair, he was still big and thick, so he opened his mouth to ask him.
While asking questions, Yang Rui did not go round and deliberately make deceitful gestures or conceal, but asked questions straightforwardly.
"I can't obey my duty..."
Shi Huan replied without considering it this time.
Such a group of results was not beyond Yang Rui's expectations. Under the background of the Three Kingdoms civilization, most civil and military officials still advocated the idea of not being a two-legged master, so it is normal for Shi Huan to answer this way.
"Let's take it, you must not let General Shi Huan down."
However, Shi Huan's answer made Yang Rui see hope, or because of his relatively low strength, Yang Rui felt that there should be a lot of hope to conquer this person, so he ordered the troops to detain him first.
After a small victory in the battle, Yang Rui packed up the battlefield and the commander still headed southwest to find the next possible target.
It is a pity that the skill book for the transfer of soldiers at the 6th level or higher level in the battle with Shi Huan should be because his division did not have the corresponding level soldiers.
