Daqin Engineers

The military situation was urgent, and the Black Armed Army set off after only half an hour.

They accompanied the army with two hundred food trucks.

It's just that only part of the food truck carries food, most of which carry arrows...The Black Armored Army needs a large number of arrows to fight.

Of course, outsiders don't know what these carriages are transporting, and even the Black Armored Army except Chen Duan doesn't know.

When Chen Duan was about to leave, he shouted at his subordinates loudly:

"The Mengwu army is in trouble, I must deliver the grain and grass within two days!"

So can this be wrong?

Immediately, spies passed the intelligence flying pigeon to Chu Jun's hands.

Xiang Liang didn't hesitate after receiving the information, and immediately ordered 10,000 cavalry troops that had been prepared to cross Rushui to prepare for the battle.

This network is from Jiangdong’s soldiers who have just been reinforced by Jiangdong.

Most of the Jiangdong children are not good at riding because they live in dense forests with water nets.However, there are always some exceptions. For example, this network was born in a horse merchant and loves horses like life. The single name "Luo" means horse bridle.

Due to family background, this network has been a good horsemanship since childhood. Of course, as a child of Jiangdong, he is also familiar with military books. It is just right to use it to command the cavalry.

As soon as Xiang Luo got the order, the energetic leader crossed the river.

When the Masi people at the ferry gate were busy shouting, Xiang Luo and the generals looked at the map and discussed the strategy:

"The enemy's first batch of grain and grass has been escorted northward by the Black Armor, with a strength of three thousand."

The Minister asked suspiciously:

"Black Armored Army? Aren't they the Navy?"

Xiang Luo answered:

"They were originally the Wei State Cavalry Army, and they were trained as naval forces only after Shen Bing set them down."

"At this time, he turned into a cavalry."

Hearing this, the minister could not help being silent.

It took a while before someone said:

"It is said that the vine armor of the Black Armored Army is almost all over the body, not only is it light, but also can block arrows..."

The Chu Army was defeated by the Black Armor in Qiancheng, and of course he knew this.

But before finishing speaking, Xiang Luo replied:

"What about this?"

"This time is a riding war."

"Moreover, our army has more than 10,000 troops and the Black Armour only has 3,000."

"Not to mention that the Black Armored Army has to protect the grain..."

If there is something to protect, it is a bondage, which will affect the mobility and flexibility of the cavalry.

The generals nodded one after another.

This is indeed different from a water battle. What's more, the reason why the Black Armed Forces can win in a water battle is largely due to the wheeled warships and poles.

Then Xiang Luo deployed a simple strategy against the enemy: set up an ambush in Ruanqiao Town to meet the enemy.

This strategy may seem simple, but in fact there are articles.

To get to Ruanqiao Town, you have to cross a bridge, with a hill on each side of it.

This kind of terrain is very suitable for the Chu army to set up ambushes, and its cavalry can be divided into two parts to hide in the hill, and then encircle and destroy them after the enemy crosses the bridge.

If Qin Jun wants to retreat, but because there is only a bridge behind him, he cannot withdraw for a while, so he is in an awkward position.

All the tribes rushed to take their orders, and then led their troops straight to Ruanqiao Town.

However, Xiang Luo is underestimating Qin Jun. How can such an obvious ambush place be hidden from Qin Jun?

Ruanqiao Town was only a hundred miles away from Ruyin, and arrived at this town the next day at the speed of the Black Armored Army.

As soon as Chen Duan saw the terrain, the large group stopped, and then sent several teams of Qingqi to investigate.

These teams of Qingqi didn't need to go up the mountain at all. They only checked around the foot of the mountain and knew that there must be an ambush.

The Chu army has tens of thousands of cavalry, and the hoof prints of the cavalry may be able to cover up, but the horse urine and dung left behind when the horse passes by cannot be completely removed.

The predecessor of the Black Armed Forces is the Wei State Cavalry, and they are still elite cavalry, of course they know how to investigate.

Soon these teams of Qingqi returned to report to Chen Duan:

"Lieutenant, there are a large number of enemy troops in ambush ahead."

"It should be in the two mountains on the left and right."

Chen Dippin nodded, and as expected, the lieutenant was determined by the secret way, and these Chu troops were sent to the door so quickly.

He looked at the map and ordered:

"The whole army is going up the river. There is a bridge ten miles away on the west side. I will wait to cross the river by this bridge!"

The army responded and turned around.

After that, the network couldn't calm down. Not only did Qin Jun not be fooled, he also changed the direction of the march. He obviously saw through the ambush. If this continues, don't you just watch them go around?

So he raised his hand and ordered the cavalry to attack.

With a long and thick sound of horns, the Chu State Cavalry Army turned out from the forest and behind the mountain, densely everywhere, and Chen Duan was a little numb.

Wang Ben is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. He is even a little excited to meet the enemy for the first time.

He immediately asked Chen Duan:

"Lieutenant, your subordinates please Zhandian empress."

But he didn't want Chen Duan to answer without thinking:

"The whole army advances."

Wang Ben is a little puzzled. If there is no one behind... Then what should the Chu army do to cover up from behind?

Why not use the bridge behind you to block it?

Then Wang Ben's eyes lit up and he understood the purpose of Chen Duan's order.

This is obviously to lure the enemy to chase, that is to say... this battle is to find the main force of the Chu cavalry?

The Chu army was in charge!

If Shen Bing knew what Wang Ben was thinking, he would have to admire Wang Ben's extraordinary plan again.

He just listened to Chen Duan's order and deduced Shen Bing's all intentions, which is probably even more difficult than Shen Bing's plan.

Xiang Luo saw that the Qin army had not challenged, and as expected, he ordered the cavalry to chase him up from behind. In addition, 5,000 people were sent to block the bridge seven miles away.

So the Chu cavalry immediately divided into two teams.

In ancient times, it was difficult to take back the troops when this order was sent out, especially the cavalry who rushed to the destination quickly.

In this era, you can send a telegram no more than in modern times. The messenger who sends orders is also riding a horse, and running at full speed is not much faster than the cavalry.

Then, the Black Armed Forces walked halfway forward and suddenly split into two groups:

One thousand people walked back with a carriage carrying grain arrows, and another two thousand people took enough arrows to return to Ruanqiao Town...

As mentioned before, the carriage with the supplies is indeed a hindrance.

It was when only half of the cavalry of Shi Chu Army in Ruanqiao Town crossed the bridge, and suddenly saw the Black Armored Army come back aggressively and could not help but make a mess.

Xiang Luo hurriedly ordered:

"The bridge-crossers fought against each other."

"Those who have not crossed the bridge continue to cross the bridge!"

Although Xiang Luo knew the enemy's strategy of dividing the forces, he was not panicked.

The reason is that Xiang Luo probably looked at the strength of the Black Armour, which should be around two thousand.

And there are more than two thousand cavalrymen who have crossed the bridge by the Chu army. If they fight together, the victory or defeat is still unknown, not to mention that there are additional troops on Chu's side.

However, the next second Xiangluo soon knew that he was wrong.

Because the Black Armored Army rode through the front of the Chu soldiers at high speed, all of them bent their bows and set up arrows on their horses... Then the arrows followed the wind and the horses' inertia "swish" into the Chu army array.

Chu Jun immediately turned on his back.

Xiang Luo watched this scene in astonishment... How could the Black Armor shoot bow on horseback?
