After hearing this, Tan Lun suddenly stood up and called the scout who reported the news. After careful inquiring, he could almost confirm that this was the vanguard of the imperial army that suppressed the rebellion.

Tan Lun made a quick decision and ordered decisively: "Let Shenwei Camp go out to support the Xiaoqi Camp. The Xiaoqi Camp should not fight with the enemy. Go around the enemy's rear and cut off the enemy's retreat. The infantry battalion is ready to support the Shenwei Camp and set off at any time after obtaining the order of our general."

"Let Pili Camp and Shenyong Camp be opened to Ningxian County, conquer the county town as fast as possible, and be sure to protect the food and grass from being burned by the thief army;

The Second Battalion of the Infantry was ordered to march quickly to ambush ten miles east of Ning County. If the fleeing bandits' army is trying their best to intercept them, be sure to leave the supplies brought by the bandits' army.

The baggage camp was ordered to set off immediately and approach Ningxian County. After breaking the city, they immediately followed Shenyong Camp into the city to load and transport supplies."

Tan Lun issued several military orders in one breath, and the messengers who were on standby near the camp rushed to various departments to send orders with arrows.

After conveying the military order, Tan Lun ordered people to put away the camp and follow the Shenyong Camp and Pili Camp as the central army to head towards Ningxian County.

The imperial army came too quickly, breaking Tan Lun's plan, and all previous arrangements had to be readjusted.

Tan Lun understood that once the "Tang Army" fought with the vanguard of the imperial government army, Zhao Biao from Ning County was likely to be frightened and fled to Yan'an Prefecture as soon as possible.

So Tan Lun now wants to stop the vanguard of the imperial army, but also stop Zhao Biao from escaping.

These two combat targets seem difficult, but they are not difficult for the "Tang Army". As long as they can open up their firepower, it is also easy to use the combat effectiveness and equipment of the "Tang Army".

Therefore, the most critical factor is time. The fastest time to defeat the vanguard of the official army, the fastest time to conquer Ning County, block Zhao Biao in the city, and then send someone to intercept his escape route at the same time, so the rest will be much easier.

...

Lin Feng, the vanguard of the Qin army, was both annoyed and depressed at this time.

After receiving Lin Yi's military order, he led three thousand cavalry to rush towards Ning County day and night, just to stop the bandits from fleeing back to Yan'an Prefecture.

All the three thousand cavalrymen under him were elite cavalry from the left guard of Yulin. They took more than 300 miles from south to north in two days, and only had three or four hours of rest on the road.

Fortunately, the elite cavalry among the three thousand imperial guards are all one man and two horses, so they can hold on if they don’t change horses on the road.

Although people are struggling to escape from long distances, if they really encounter an enemy, they will easily be defeated by others with ease.

But Lin Feng thought in his heart that he must seize the opportunity given by Lin Yi to prove himself. Secondly, in his heart, the thief army was a group of mobs that were about to collapse. Even if his side was tired after raiding for a long distance, they could defeat these thief army with just one charge.

If the thief army has not abandoned the city, then he will find a way to harass and frighten it, let the thief army leave the city, and then take the opportunity to attack and chase it, which will be expected.

If he takes another step back, even if the bandit army hides in the city and cannot retreat, he can completely block the bandit army's escape route, and wait for the arrival of the central army to join forces with the central army to attack the city and destroy the enemy.

In short, in Lin Feng's opinion, this mission is not very risky at all, at most it is just a little harder.

Therefore, when the scout of the front line was intercepted by an unknown cavalry, Lin Feng was not surprised but happy and said loudly to his soldiers: "Since the bandit army has sent scouts to intercept it, it means that the bandit army has not yet fled, and our chance to make contributions has come!"

The Qin Imperial Guard is not the idiot like the imperial guards in the pre-Song Dynasty, but the real elite of the Qin military power.

The Imperial Guards go to the border every three years to rotate, each time for half a year.

During the rotation, they would defend the national gates together like other border soldiers and fight with foreign enemies.

In addition to this kind of round-rotation battle, the Imperial Guard far surpassed the local government soldiers in terms of military selection, armor and equipment, and various welfare benefits. The daily military discipline and training are very strict, and it is not as broken as the Central Army of previous dynasties.

Of course, this is also caused by the pattern of this world.

After all, countries border each other and guard against each other, and conflicts and wars occur from time to time.

The shadow of war always envelops every king, minister and people of every country. Forget the war, it will be dangerous, so the central armies of all countries are actually elite.

In this case, even if the African group of black uncles who only use rifles to thrust hard, they can become so-called elites if they fight too much.

Under this background, the Qin Imperial Army will naturally not be a timid army that is afraid of war, and with the training of generals like Lin Yi, they will naturally be happy when they hear the war.

再加上敌人又是一群泥腿子贼匪等组成的乌合之众,所以这些御林军将士心中更是轻松.

Therefore, when the scout of the front line was intercepted by unidentified cavalry, Lin Feng subconsciously thought that these cavalry were scout cavalry of the bandit army. He was excited and wanted to take people up and quickly kill these bandit army, and then capture some prisoners and interrogate them to know the situation of the bandit army in the city.

The soldiers under his command were also very excited and pulled out their battle swords and rushed forward with Lin Feng.

For a moment, the yellow dust rolled forward like a yellow dragon, with a terrifying momentum.

However, as the distance got closer, Lin Feng felt a little confused and felt something was wrong.

According to normal speculation, when he arrived with his main force, his scouts must have killed the scouts of the bandit army, and even began to hunt down or capture prisoners.

As we all know, those who can serve as scouts are the elites in the army, and the scouts cavalry in the left guard cavalry battalion of the Yulin are even more elites.

Whether it is the quality of the soldiers, the war horses, armor, equipment, and military pay and benefits, they are all first-class in the left guard of Yulin.

Of course, this is what others deserve.

When two armies fight, they often first contact with scout cavalry from both sides. Therefore, scouts are the most dangerous group of troops in the army and the most demanding of personal abilities. They can be called special forces in ancient military.

When the People's Liberation Army had no concept of special forces in the past, the most elite army was the reconnaissance battalions of various units.

The reconnaissance battalion is doing the job of scouts, exploring the way, grabbing the tongue, reconnaissance the enemy's firepower, reconnaissance the terrain, drawing maps, and even raiding behind enemy lines are within their responsibilities.

Lin Feng was very confident in his men, so when he saw his scouts in red battle robes and black armor still fighting with another team of cavalrymen in black robes and black armor from afar, he felt something was wrong.

When did the thief army also have such neat military equipment?

Moreover, this cavalry can even compete with its own scouts.

不!不是旗鼓相当!

Because of Lin Feng's eyes, he had already seen that although his scouts were still fighting hard, they were gradually retreating, which showed that the opponent's combat power was beyond his expectations.

But Lin Feng was surprised for a moment and calmed down.

Humph, it is just the most elite cavalry of the bandit army.

Elite cavalry are not cabbages and cannot be trained in a few years.

Even if the thief troops like Gao Huzi barely gathered up a cavalry, the number would not be too large.

Although the combat power looks good, as long as you take the main force to push forward, the opponent will reach its limit.

"kill!"

Lin Feng raised the spear in his hand, let out a long roar, and ran forward on his horse.

Thousands of cavalry followed closely behind and rushed towards the "Breedy Army" cavalry.
