    As Gu Li said, Guanjiao Ridge is not big, but it is stuck on the main road leading to Wuguan. It just separates the two parts of the Chu army from the front and the rear. The straight line distance between the two sides is not far.  But it's enough to create a short-distance vacuum.  The Huns cavalry led their horses. The horses' mouths were bitten, and their hooves were wrapped with thick cotton. They stepped on the ground and made no sound. Each soldier had a small stick in his mouth.  to avoid any unexpected sounds.  They silently advanced along the path under Yangjiao Ridge. As far as they could see, there was the brightly lit Chu army camp. It was an infantry camp with tens of thousands of people, not far from them.  , and a cavalry camp.  It is not a good idea to attack the stationed infantry. After more than ten years of the rise of Han, many of the Han army's tactics have now become general rules for every army on the mainland, such as camping.  It is no longer a simple fence or guard tower, but trenches are dug criss-crossing outside the barracks. Some are open and some are hidden. Assaulting such a camp is not much different from conquering a city.  It is difficult to break into the barracks without taking huge casualties, unless they have a large number of long-range weapons, such as artillery.  But this thing was too heavy for the cavalry to carry.  Going to fight that cavalry? This is a choice, but Gu Li only has 5,000 cavalry in hand, and the opponent has 10,000 cavalry. In terms of the number of people, Gu Li is not afraid of the opponent. The problem is that once the opponent goes to war, Chu  There will be an echo between the national cavalry and the infantry.  This is why Gu Li wants to adopt a risky strategy, cross this vacuum, join forces with Agu Huai'en, and jointly attack the Chu army's cavalry, defeating the opponent's infantry before they have time to form effective support.  Qu Wan divided the entire army into five parts, two in front and two in back, with the Chinese army camp in the middle. The distance between them was only fifty miles apart at the farthest.  As Agu Huaien said, this is a typical turtle formation. Each part is equipped with 10,000 cavalry to deal with the Han cavalry harassment. Qu Wan's task now is not to find a way to suppress these two Han cavalry.  But how to find a way to bring this army back to Chu State.  Therefore, as long as the Han cavalry did not take the initiative to attack the Chu army, Qu Wan would not provoke them. When they arrived at Wuguan, the army gathered together and only had 10,000 cavalry.  It was simply impossible to shake the 200,000-strong Chu army with tens of thousands of cavalry. At that time, he only needed to concentrate on dealing with the enemy at Wuguan.  Qu Wan didn't think about it. The two cavalry leaders of the Han army were also trying their best to break Qu Wan's strategy. Ten thousand cavalry could not cause much fundamental damage to Qu Wan, but they could hit the opponent's enemy.  Soldiers attack to slow down the opponent's advance, giving Wuguan more time to prepare for defensive operations.  Aguhuaien and his cavalry were hiding in the darkness. Like Guli, he was a man with a tree in his mouth.  Ma Xianmei remained silent. Beside him, Agu Yong's eyes flashed with excitement. For him, this was a real battle.  Looking up at the moonlight in the sky, the time agreed with Gu Li is almost here. According to the agreement, he will be the first to attack at midnight on the moon.  If Gu Li cannot arrive on time, then his attack will become anticlimactic and he will have to leave at the touch of a button.  "Father, the time has come!" Aguyong on the side reminded.  Aguhuaien once again raised his head and glanced at the moon in the night sky. Perhaps this night, it was destined to be bright red.  He got on his horse and pulled out the scimitar from his waist with a choking sound. Following his movements, thousands of cavalrymen swung away from their horses.  He spat out the crossbar in his mouth, reached out and took away the horse's bit, and a big flag was erected under the moonlight.  "Attack!" Agu Huaien pointed his scimitar forward, grabbed the horse's belly with his legs, and the horse neighed and rushed forward.  The assault of thousands of cavalrymen can covertly lurk above this distance, which is already a great achievement. Now they are still several miles away from the opponent's cavalry camp. This distance is enough for the Chu cavalry to make a correct response.  As for the Chu troops who were traveling along the way, their men did not take off their armor and their horses did not take off their saddles. They were always ready to deal with the Han army's attack.  The roar of the galloping hooves of five thousand war horses was enough to shake the earth and the mountains. The horns of the Chu cavalry camp in the distance immediately sounded, and the whole camp suddenly became bright.  Rushing out of the camp, they began to form a formation outside the camp gate, and behind them, more cavalry began to emerge and form a formation.  Outside the cavalry camp, there are no defensive measures within the trenches, because these defenses, while defending the enemy, will also limit the reaction speed of the cavalry.  At the same time, in the Chu army's infantry camp a few miles away, police sirens were blaring loudly, and drums for emergency assembly were beating. The soldiers picked up their weapons, rushed out of the barracks, and began to line up in the camp.  Unlike the cavalry, after they formed a formation, they would start from within the camp.Later, we had to walk out of the camp through the narrow passage outside the camp before we could deploy our troops. We also had to be wary of being attacked by the Han cavalry at this moment, so the time required was a long process.  If the Han cavalry attacks, the cavalry will hold them back first, and then the infantry will line up and slowly approach. The purpose is not to annihilate the enemy, but to scare the opponent away.  There were ten thousand cavalry in the cavalry camp, so the Chu generals were not too worried.  When Aguhuaien rushed to about a mile away from the opponent, the Chu cavalry also began to charge. Being able to make all preparations for the attack within such a short distance, this Chu cavalry was considered quite good.  "Kill!" Agu Huaien pointed his sword forward and took out the riding crossbow from his waist with his other hand. A long time ago, he disdained using these little tricks when fighting the enemy's cavalry. He  Believing that this is only used by cowardly and useless guys, he prefers to slit his opponent's throat directly with a knife.  But as he got older, his ideas began to change. If he could kill his opponent at a lower cost, why not do it!  His son Agu Yong is a replica of him when he was young, but now with his tireless encouragement, his son can start to adopt the simplest method.  It simply means that it is directly effective, and it also means that there is a greater possibility of saving one's life on the battlefield. In large-scale cavalry battles, from generals to small soldiers, the probability of death is actually not much different. It is amazing that there are people beside generals.  More soldiers are assisting and protecting you, but you never expect a cold arrow to be shot from where.  This is true during the day, but when cavalry fight at night, the risk is even greater. Or a small hole in the ground is enough to make you fall into the abyss. When fighting at night, many times, you are not killed by the enemy, but because of your own mistakes.  resulting in death.  Therefore, large-scale cavalry night battles generally rarely occur.  The two torrents collided with each other. The countless torches lit by both sides illuminated the battlefield brightly. The camp behind the Chu army was even more brightly lit. The moonlight in the sky was very good today, which reduced the unknown danger.  At the lowest level, as for the rest, it all depends on everyone's luck.  When Agu Huaien saw his son rushing to the front of the team, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart.  His son is an anomaly to the traditional Donghu people. This is due to the fact that he is a graduate of the Cavalry Department of Jicheng Comprehensive University. Sending his son there is also a sign of the Donghu people's sincerity to the Han Dynasty.  His son did not like the traditional scimitar of Donghu, but he liked the heavy horse-cutting sword very much. Agu Huaien knew that the horse-cutting sword was the weapon favored by Gao Yuan, the king of the Han Dynasty, when he used to fight. His son admired the King of Han very much and was choosing his own sword.  When it came to weapons, I chose this one without hesitation.  The power of the large-open sword is endless, but it also places extremely high demands on the user. If the strength is slightly weaker, this heavy thing will exhaust the user's strength in a short time. Among the Han cavalry,  Among them, it seems that only a non-human being like the King of Han can use this kind of weapon.  But now, he has added his own son.  As he waved his horse-killing sword, Agu Yongxing felt the blood rush to his head. Every time he swept and slashed, his opponent's weapons, heads, and horses flew in front of him. Relying on his own personal strength, he was able to forcefully  From the crest of the dense shock wave of the Chu army, a road was opened against the trend.  The two sides collided fiercely with arrows against arrows. As expected, the Han army had the upper hand. Their superior weapons, superior cavalry armor, riding skills, and superior fighting ability allowed the Han army to win the battle.  They made a perfect start in the early stage. They cut deeply into the Chu cavalry, and blood flowed wherever they passed.  However, the Chu army was obviously not a soft persimmon, not to mention that their strength was twice that of the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division. Soon, the Chu army stabilized the situation and allowed the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division to stir up trouble inside, but they  Slowly squeezing inward from the periphery to fight the Donghu Cavalry Division or the Xiongnu Cavalry Division of the Han Army. The most important thing is to squeeze their combat space so that they have no room to move and minimize their advantage.  In the end, all that is left is the competition of bravery and the crushing of numbers.  Agu Huaien could already feel the feeling of his troops being trapped in the thick mud. He looked up and saw his son, who was also much closer to him. This meant that his charging momentum was greatly affected.  Big resistance.  In the distance, countless torches were approaching here. It was the infantrymen from the Chu State Infantry Battalion who were beginning to approach here.  Gu Li, it¡¯s time for you to show up!  Agu Huai'en said in his heart that if Gu Li didn't arrive within one stick of incense, he would decide to evacuate.  (To be continued.)
