C1567 Charge
C1567 Charge
Not too far away from Huang Feng and the others, a large group of people were quickly approaching. Among these people, most were infantry, and only a small portion of cavalry. Moreover, these people were in a hurry as they marched. There were even some who were not even dressed properly.
When he saw that the two sides of the road ahead were filled with weeds and the terrain wanted to be taken, one of the officers felt that something was not right and wanted to apply to his general to investigate.
Who knew that the general who led the troops looked at the terrain in front of him. Then, he directly rejected his request. "There's no need. That dog thief Huang Feng is attacking Old Wu's side. How could he have the energy to ambush us? Furthermore, that fellow was born in the uprising army and has never read any military books. What can he know?"
"But..." The person who spoke earlier still felt that something was wrong. After all, in a war, when encountering such a terrain, they would definitely need to investigate.
"There's no buts!" The general who led the troops said decisively: "Our troops do not have many cavalry left, if we use infantry to investigate... How much time will it take? Do you think Old Wu's side can still hold on? In a short period of time, he had already sent several distress signals. We don't have much time to waste on the road. Once Old Wu's side is taken down... I estimate that Huang Feng will take down the few counties around us one by one."
General's words made the person who spoke earlier slightly change his mind. That's right, they do not have many cavalry here. If they use infantry to investigate, it would definitely take a lot of time, and the battle in front of them had already reached its climax. The Imperial Court's army attacked ferociously. They were the reinforcements closest to the battlefield. If they did not make it in time, the county might fall. The battle had just begun, and they had already lost a county... That would be a huge blow to their morale.
The general also knew that in their army, many people's hearts had already wavered. After all, the new Imperial Court treated farmers very well. To give each farmer a piece of land, this temptation was too great. Many people wanted to go back to farming and had no intention of fighting with them. At this time, if there was any bad news... It would be the last straw that would crush them.
Therefore, they could not afford to lose any more battles, not even once. This was also the reason why when they received the distress signal, the surrounding reinforcements rushed over.
"I understand, General." The officer said.
"It's good that you understand. Let our brothers speed up a bit more. After chasing away the imperial court's army, I'll let them have a good rest" General said.
"Yes!"
And so, the group that had already run very fast... Their speed increased once again, and coupled with the fact that they were still holding weapons in their hands... Many people even began to pant and have difficulty breathing. Ever since they left Xinqi County, they had been running all the way until now. They were all very tired, but the generals above did not let them rest. This made many people complain in their hearts.
However, complaining was obviously useless, so these people could only grit their teeth and continue running.
Huang Feng, Su Yumo, and the others were lying in the grass. They looked coldly at the enemy troops that had entered their line of sight and were not in a hurry to attack. The path between them was very long, enough for more people to enter. Huang Feng did not want to attack now. If that was the case, many people would run away. Huang Feng wasn't willing to show up in such a situation.
"These people were really careless. They didn't send anyone to scout ahead." Xie Mengjiao said in a low voice.
Huang Feng looked at Xie Mengjiao in surprise. Xie Mengjiao looked at him and felt a little embarrassed. She said in a delicate voice, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I did not think that you would have this kind of consciousness." Huang Feng said. One should know that among Su Yumo and the other girls, Bai Xiaorou was the only one who had been on the battlefield, and it was a modern battlefield. It was the first time the other girls had encountered such a situation. Xie Mengjiao actually realized the importance of investigating. This was indeed very rare, and it also made Huang Feng look at her in a new light.
"This is what I see on TV. When we march, there will always be scout." Xie Mengjiao said with some embarrassment.
"Yes." Huang Feng nodded. "If it is a normal march, it must be arranged by scout. However, the people below were obviously in a hurry to march. Besides, they don't seem to think that we will ambush them here. They probably thought that we were attacking the county town. "
Huang Feng's guess was not without reason. The county in front of them was attacking the city on the first day. They had fallen into a dangerous situation, the enemy's men. They must have thought that Huang Feng had sent a large number of troops. There must be no extra troops to ambush them. That was why they were so careless.
Everyone looked at the enemy troops that were passing by silently. Some of the soldiers' eyes were already filled with bloodthirstiness. They were silently wiping the weapons in their hands. They knew that... It was time for these weapons to be used for a long time.
"Now! Charge!" Huang Feng saw that most of the enemy troops had entered the ambush circle. If they continued to wait, the front troops of the enemy troops were about to run into the cavalry in front of them. Hence... Huang Feng decided not to wait any longer. He would charge now!
Huang Feng stood up first and rushed down. The surrounding people also stood up when they saw his actions. They began to charge, and the people on the opposite side of the hill... They were also waiting for Huang Feng to move. They saw that Huang Feng and the others had already charged forward. They also jumped up one by one and quickly rushed down.
Thus, on the originally quiet hillside where no one could see, countless figures suddenly appeared. It was as if these figures had suddenly appeared. They shouted and rushed down at high speed.
"Not good, we've been ambushed!" When an officer saw this situation, he immediately cried out with an ashen face.
In fact, even if he didn't shout, the soldiers under his command... At this moment, they already understood what was going on. They had been ambushed. Furthermore, there were quite a number of people lying in ambush. There were so many of them. There were so many of them that it seemed like there were even more of them. Some of them were so scared that they threw away their weapons and turned around to run. Some of them knelt down on the spot and chose to surrender.
As a result, before the two sides even started fighting, the enemy troops below... Many of them had collapsed in their hearts. Their morale was not high to begin with. Now, under their exhausted condition, they were ambushed again. Although the battle had yet to officially begin, mentally... They were already panicking.
