Turbulent Times Chapter 1578: The road is one foot high and the devil is one foot high
Although the five thousand fine cavalry under Duan Zhixuan's command are extremely powerful, it is almost impossible to defeat the five thousand tiger battalion elite cavalry who are escorting food and grass head-on.
So, Duan Zhixuan gave full play to his best guerrilla lightning tactics, coming and going like the wind.
The 5,000 Tiger Battalion cavalry who escorted the food and grass had no idea when they would come, so they had to be on high alert at all times.
As soon as Duan Zhixuan's attack is blocked, he will flee away immediately, because he is worried that he will fall into the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain. The elite cavalry of the five thousand tiger battalion dare not stay away from the food and grass at all, so they can only repel the five thousand horse thieves and cannot go further. be effectively killed.
In this way, Duan Zhixuan led the five thousand powerful horse bandits who came and went, retreating at the touch of a button. It also greatly slowed down the forward speed.

………
After a journey of more than 200 miles, it took seven days. Finally, the food delivery team was only a dozen miles away from Yuchi Jingde's camp. With such a short distance, the **** team led by Duan Zhixuan The five thousand horse thieves will not attack too close to the main force of the Far East Army, and the entire grain and grass team can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The tiger battalion cavalry who escorted the food and grass were all light cavalry. Everyone carried a longbow and held a sword. A thick layer of mud became as heavy as ten catties. The two thousand people pushing the grain and grass carts were not conscripted laborers, but soldiers from the Far Eastern Army's supply engineering battalion.
After such a long journey, the two thousand soldiers seemed tired and exhausted.
The cavalrymen of the Five Thousand Tiger Battalion were obviously a bit slack, and the soldiers of the engineering and supply battalion pushing the carts seemed to be thinking that this horrific job would be over soon, and mustered up their last strength to try their best to get there before evening. Tiger camp.
It seems that none of them noticed that there was a horse thief sent by Duan Zhixuan crawling behind the hill not far away.
Suddenly, the horse thieves who were divided into five thousand-man teams by Duan Zhixuan determined the exact location of the Li family army's food and grass team from the spy's location, and then rushed towards the long dragon transporting food from five directions.
Two thousand cavalry in front, two thousand cavalry on each side, and another thousand cavalry behind, outflanking from all directions.
When the distance was five miles away, the scouts sent by the Tiger Camp hurriedly warned the food and grass troops. The warning signal had just reached the army, and five cavalrymen roared from all directions, only two or three miles away from their target, and there was a thunderous hoofbeat , as the cold wind came, the food transportation team of the Far East Army immediately responded quickly.
Because Duan Zhixuan wants to pretend to be a horse thief, the clothes on the men and horses are different from those of the regular army. In a layer of fur, only ten fingers were exposed, holding the steel knife tightly in his hand.
The situation in front of us seems to be that the cavalry of the 5,000 Tiger Battalion have gone through this journey more than a dozen times. It has to be said that they have tried their best to protect the food and grass, but failed to let Duan Zhixuan succeed every time.
But after coming down more than ten times, it made the five thousand tiger camp cavalry exhausted. In addition, they thought that they had arrived at their destination, near the camp, and these hateful horse thieves would not come again, so it seemed that there was slack.
In addition, they are really tired, so they seem to be a little slow to respond.
Although the troops were divided into five parts to countercharge the incoming enemy in five directions to intercept them, as they had done more than a dozen times before, the speed of the cavalry did not increase because the distance for them to charge was too short. Looking up, it seems that the combat power has also been greatly reduced.
You must know that cavalry charge each other, just like two torrents rushing against each other. When the numbers are equal and the combat strength is equal, speed is crucial, not to mention that they are really tired.
Fortunately, the Far East Army had grenades, and a wave of grenades still came out. Unfortunately, the five thousand horse thieves led by Duan Zhixuan were very experienced in dealing with grenades, and their riding skills were terrifying. The distance was opened in an instant, most of them avoided the explosion damage range of the grenade, and the ears of the war horse were tightly plugged. Apart from killing more than a hundred people, it had no effect.
The final result is that Tiger Camp and the others failed to intercept Duan Zhixuan's charge in five directions this time. Not very serious.
In this way, the most important thing is that the food and grass team was exposed to the horse thieves of the five thousand-man teams on Duan Zhixuan's side.
Beside the grain cart, there were 2,000 soldiers from the Engineering and Supply Battalion of the Far East Army pushing carts. They pulled out all kinds of weapons from the carts, and then relied on the carts to form a defensive formation.
Unfortunately, because they were squeezed by the cart all the way, their bodies looked too tired, and they didn't have much strength at all, so their movements involuntarily slowed down.
However, Duan Zhixuan led the five thousand-man team and the speed of the horse has reached the extreme. Here, the soldiers of the two thousand engineers and the supply battalion have just formed a prototype relying on the grain truck defense formation, and Duan Zhixuan's five thousand-man team has already led people to the second and third. Ten paces ago, he got off his war horse and galloped like arrows. Although many soldiers from the engineering and supply battalion also shot their crossbows, everyone on Duan Zhixuan's side had a horse shield, so they blocked them all.
That's why Duan Zhixuan's party only had more than a hundred people shot down, and the pace and speed of the five cavalry teams were not affected in the slightest.
The cavalrymen of the Five Thousand Tiger Battalion who were left behind seemed anxious to die, but in the snow, the horses were very tired. In this case, it took a process to turn the horse's head and rush over, and today It seems that the process is extremely slow.
During this process, Duan Zhixuan's five-way cavalry gave full play to the maneuverability of the cavalry, assembled quickly, outflanked, assaulted and interspersed, and cut combat. , fled around.
Duan Zhixuan's five thousand horse thieves came for food and grass, so naturally they would not chase after the second-rate soldiers of the engineering and supply battalion, thus wasting time. big event.
The horse thieves on Duan Zhixuan's party are obviously familiar with the road, and many people quickly picked up the light fuel oil they had prepared before and poured it on
It's time to set the grain cart on fire.
At this moment, a strange scene happened.
The cavalrymen of the Tiger Battalion who were desperately rushing here suddenly all showed strange smiles, and the soldiers of the Engineer Battalion who had already run two or three hundred steps away suddenly all lay down on the ground with their heads bent On the ground, but there is still some gap between the body and the ground.
Duan Zhixuan watched the grain truck being set on fire, and saw the reaction of the Far Eastern Army's **** of grain and grass.
Unfortunately, his order is already late.
In the distance, on a hilltop, Li Jing led a thousand soldiers of the Special Forces, looking at this side with binoculars.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
One hundred vehicles loaded with "grain and grass" suddenly exploded.
The sound is earth-shattering, and its power is like a big earthquake, which is extremely frightening.
Wuqian had just ignited the grain cart, and the horse thieves who had no time to retreat were submerged by air waves, fire waves, iron sheets, steel needles, and steel balls.
The powerful explosion turned the five thousand horse thieves on their backs immediately, not to mention most of the casualties, and they were completely in chaos.
At this time, the five thousand cavalry escorting food and grass from the Tiger Camp and the two thousand soldiers from the Supply Battalion rushed towards them with murderous expressions on their faces.
After half an hour, less than 300 of the five thousand horse thieves escaped.
Duan Zhixuan is also amazing, even under such circumstances, he led three hundred people to break out of the encirclement and escape.
That's right, Li Jing single-handedly planned and implemented this plan to ambush Duan Zhixuan and the five thousand horse thieves using grain and grass as bait.
Duan Zhixuan was cunning enough, so Duan Zhixuan led the horse thieves to attack, and the five thousand cavalrymen from the tiger battalion who escorted the food and grass also tried their best to resist according to Li Jing's order, and the show was very good.
Convinced Duan Zhixuan that this is the real food and grass, and that they were able to succeed because they were exhausted from camping the tigers these days, and their combat strength dropped a lot, and they were able to use the latter to get close to the slack in the camp to carry out a surprise attack. The food was burned successfully.
It's just that although Duan Zhixuan is cunning and knows about explosives, but because he doesn't know very well, he will have some blanks and neglects when considering tactics.
Li Jing took advantage of this, set up this trap, and almost wiped out Duan Zhixuan's entire army in one fell swoop.
"In this case, Duan Zhixuan was able to escape. This is destined to give credit to you, the thousand special forces!" Li Jing smiled at the captain of the fifth special force next to him with a look of surprise.
The captain of the fifth division had a fighting spirit on his face, and said with a smile: "Master Li, the final general does not need too many people. He only needs to lead 300 people, and the remaining 700 people will still be dispatched by Master Li." /
Li Jing nodded and said: "Okay, I will do as you said, you take away three hundred people, but you must not underestimate this Duan Zhixuan is a difficult guy."
"The general understands." The captain of the fifth division agreed, and led three hundred experts from the special forces team to sneak up in the direction where Duan Zhixuan and his party were fleeing.
