Chapter 482 Lure the enemy deeper(2/2)
In less than half an hour, Volo had led his army to the 20 miles east of Qingshui County.
This is the former stronghold of the Western Camp of the Wei Army.
With his light and fast horses and excellent light skills, Fulo had already figured out that the leader of the Western Camp would be Diao Zheng, the eldest son of Bo Diao Zun of Dong'an County of the Great Wei Dynasty. When Yuan Hong moved the capital to Luoyang, he joined the army as Sikong Facao, but he was magnanimous.
Without breaking the law, I deeply believe in Emperor Xiaowen’s trust.
Later, he successively held the posts of Yuan Xi, Yuan Jia, Yuan Ying and others who joined the army, Sima, and led the army. He was quite famous for being good at fighting.
Diao Zheng is stationed here, and his strength should be about 20,000, including 8,000 cavalry, most of whom are from the Central Army of the Yuan and Wei Dynasties. They are both elite in terms of armor and combat power.
There are more than 10,000 infantrymen, more than half of whom should be soldiers from Qin and Qi prefectures, and the elite infantry should not be more than three to four battalions.
In addition, there should be about 30,000 troops in Gudao and Gudao in the pass cities of Longshan and Qinling Mountains, including many elite troops from Luoyang. In such a hurry, Commander Wei must not have dared to mobilize without permission.
On the other hand, I have 30,000 elite cavalry under my command. If we use common sense and use 10,000 to resist the 8,000 armored cavalry of the Wei army, the remaining 20,000 will defeat the more than 10,000 Wei army infantry.
What a pity that a freak like Li Chengzhi appears?
While thinking about it, Fuluo went to the front of the village.
In the past few days, Diao Zheng would come here every day, but when he came here today, it turned out to be an empty camp. Looking around, there was only a mess: collapsed walls, abandoned tents, destroyed
The earthen stove that was not enough, and the many cars that seemed to be taken away in a panic.
Volo looked at it carefully, his mind racing rapidly.
In this situation, it seems that the Wei army was frightened by the power of 30,000 armored cavalry and had to retreat in panic.
The scout's urgent report also described it this way: one moment he sent troops from Qingshui City, and the next moment Wei troops suddenly broke out of camp.
But although they were panicked, they were not in chaos: the Wei army left all the cavalry behind.
If that were the case, Volo would probably attack in tandem. But the strange thing is that the Wei army originally only had seven or eight thousand cavalry, but today there were suddenly four to five thousand more, and there were also three thousand tiger cavalry?
With the power of rejuvenating the Wei Dynasty, the Tiger Cavalry can only be worth 10,000 people. If they go out on an expedition, they will be the commanders of the Chinese army. Furthermore, he has also seen Lu Yan's letter and knows that the Tiger Cavalry accompanied Li Chengzhi to Woye to quell the chaos. Therefore,
Fuluo concluded that the leader today must be Li Chengzhi.
With such a great reputation, and it was not like he had never suffered losses before, Volo gave up the idea of hiding behind and breaking the formation, and pressed forward step by step to see if Li Chengzhi would rise to the challenge.
As for whether it would be to lure the enemy deeper, Volo was not worried at all, just because this is Baili Beach.
As the name suggests, this place is a hundred miles wide, and the terrain is extremely flat, with not many valleys and no large mountains and forests. Even if Li Chengzhi wanted to lure the enemy, where should he hide his ambush?
The terrain is so favorable to the cavalry that even if there is a hidden hare, it can be frightened out...
"Sir, please come and report to me!"
A low shout interrupted Volo's thoughts, and he responded in a deep voice: "Speak!"
"The Wei army retreated for twenty miles, but for some reason they did not set up a stronghold. They just let the infantry set up a chariot formation in front of the formation!"
"Where are the Wei cavalry?"
"They are all arranged on the left and right, like the wings of a bird, protecting the steps and camps..."
Volo's heart moved: The chariot formation is in front, and the cavalry is protecting the two wings. The rear wing must be elite.
And no tent was set up, indicating that the Wei army would retreat again...
Just as I was thinking this, another scout horse rushed over: "Sir, the Wei army's cavalry is standing out, all wearing tiger-striped leather armor, and they are approaching my forward!"
Fuluo frowned: "Just a tiger rider?"
"Just a tiger riding!"
"If you are just trying to fend off the formation, don't pay any attention to it. If you dare to get close to the front three miles of the front formation, stick out the two wings to surround it..."
"Yes!"
After the soldiers left, the subordinate asked: "Sir, is the Wei army going to fight?"
"It's all about retreating! If what I predict is correct, the Wei army will only retreat for these twenty miles today. If I push again, Li Chengzhi will not retreat even half a step even if he fights, otherwise there will be a risk of collapse."
.But if it comes tomorrow, I will definitely retreat."
His subordinates had some thoughts: "In that case, how about the last general leading his army to cover up and kill him tomorrow?"
Volo shook his head resolutely: "There is no need for this, it will not be too late to fight again when he has no way to retreat..."
