Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 251 Raid! Raid! (3k)

The vast Hengshan Mountains are lush and green in summer.

Fei Tinghan led the scout team to conduct reconnaissance in an area of ​​twenty miles, but he was a little relaxed at this time.

Fei Tinghan was usually very cautious, but for more than a month since the expedition, the Song army had all been hiding in the castle, and he had basically never seen the Song army in the wild. This extremely hard and tedious reconnaissance, after more than a month of fruitless efforts, would inevitably make even the most cautious person slack off.

Fei Tinghan chewed a piece of grass in his mouth, glanced around casually, and said lazily: "Everyone, cheer up. There is news from the general that a Song army has been fighting guerrilla warfare outside recently. We have to be careful recently."

After these words were spoken, the others all laughed.

Fei Tinghan also had a smile on his face, and he didn't take it seriously either.

Anyway, he didn't quite believe this kind of nonsense. They had been in Song territory for more than a month and had been traveling around without encountering any obstacles. The Song army might have been mentally devastated by the defeat in Yongle City and had lost all their courage.

So when he saw that his men didn't take it seriously, he didn't scold them, but just walked around casually according to his duties.

In the evening, he suddenly asked, "Why haven't An Luoli and Jin Guolu come back yet? According to the rules, they should have come back by now, right?"

One of his men laughed and said, "Maybe something delayed him. The Hengshan Qiang tribe also has many beautiful women, hehe."

Fei Tinghan smiled when he heard this and said, "That's a blessing. Never mind. Let's find a place to rest first."

The rest of the men burst into laughter.

Fei Tinghan didn't take it seriously, reined in his horse and rode away, and the rest of his men followed him. Suddenly, Fei Tinghan showed a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Did you hear any sound?"

Several men listened attentively, and one of them suddenly showed a strange look and said, "A few miles away, there are thousands of cavalrymen coming towards us quickly. Could it be the Song army?"

As soon as this was said, everyone laughed again. Fei Tinghan did not dare to be careless and said, "Let's go, let's get closer to investigate..."

"Whoosh!" A dull bowstring sound was heard.

Fei Tinghan's face suddenly changed, and he said hastily: "Little..."

With a "thump!" sound, several scouts saw a black shadow hit Fei Tinghan in the face, and Fei Tinghan fell off his horse without a sound.

The rest of them were indeed elite soldiers, and they dispersed immediately upon seeing the turn, while observing the opponent's position. However, they only heard a few whooshing sounds, and their companions fell off their horses one by one without them making any cry out in pain. The rest of them were all terrified: this is a sharpshooter!

What do scouts fear the most? Archers!
As scouts, their mobility is maximized, and sometimes they are not afraid to get right under the noses of the enemy army, because even if the enemy discovers them, it is difficult to catch them.

But if they encounter a sharpshooter, the entire team might be destroyed!

Not only are the archers' arrows very accurate, but the key is that the effective range of their arrows is twenty to thirty steps longer than theirs. In other words, these extra twenty to thirty steps are a natural chasm!
Therefore, once they encounter a sharpshooter, their first choice is to run, but today it is obviously too late and they are ambushed!
What should I do if I'm ambushed by a sharpshooter?
That’s running!

But with another sound of bowstring, the last man fell off his horse.

A Ghost Rider appeared from behind a tree and gestured, "We are almost there. It is time to set up camp. Even if they knew about this in advance, it would be too late to organize the formation. Notify the people behind us to move forward quickly and charge straight ahead!"

The Ghost Rider is naturally Su Yun.

After he led his team out of Funing City, he bypassed the Western Xia army, sneaked into Hengshan, sneaked to the vicinity of Fei Tingsheng, and then confirmed the situation on Fei Tingsheng's side. This evening, it was time for hunting.

Su Yun personally led the scout team forward for several miles to clear out the scout team first to prevent them from running back to raise the alarm.

As soon as Fei Tinghan's team was eliminated, Su Yun ordered to advance at full speed, because the distance to Fei Tingsheng's army was less than ten miles. At this position, there would be more scouts ahead, and they would definitely be discovered if they went forward, so it was better to advance at full speed and kill them directly!

After Su Yun gave the order, Xu Jin, Lu Song and others came with their team. When Su Yun saw the team coming, he gave the order: "Let's go!"

Su Yun took the lead and galloped quickly in front, and the others quickly followed. After walking about two miles, they found the scouts. When the scouts saw Su Yun's team, they turned around and ran away.

Su Yun just ignored them and followed behind. He met several scout teams in front, but they were all running forward desperately, trying to get back to warn them.

Su Yun was not in a hurry and just fell behind them.

The scouts spared no effort and rushed to Fei Tingsheng's camp first. At this time, Fei Tingsheng found an open place with a river next to it for water, which was just right for trapping tens of thousands of Song prisoners.

To be honest, this is not a good place to station, because it is a dangerous place. Once the enemy attacks, it will be a situation of fighting with your back to the river, and you can't even run away.

Originally, if they walked ten miles further, there would be a place more suitable for stationing to meet the enemy, but Fei Tingsheng was extremely confident and decided to station here casually.

His subordinates only said a word, but seeing Fei Tingsheng's determination, they did not try to persuade him. In fact, it was not that they were careless. They had entered Song territory for more than a month without encountering any decent resistance. Now this is the rear area, how can you make them nervous?
So, what they thought was that a winding and fast-flowing river would save them the effort of monitoring tens of thousands of prisoners, and they could have a good rest tonight, which was also a good thing!

As for whether there will be enemies...ha, don't say there aren't any. Even if there are, there are thousands of cavalry and several thousand infantry here. How many people does the Song army need to be able to threaten them? If there were so many people, they would have been discovered by the scouts in front, and they could naturally make arrangements calmly.

However, they didn't know that they were facing a man like Su Yun who didn't play by the rules. Eight hundred cavalrymen rushed over directly!

Fei Tingsheng had already taken off his armor and leisurely asked someone to boil water and make a cup of hot tea. He was a Dangxiang person who was relatively deeply influenced by Chinese culture. He read Chinese books every day and often behaved in a pretentious manner. Drinking tea was a way for him to show his status.

Fei Tingsheng's own camp was stationed on a high ground. He could drink tea while watching the soldiers below busy setting up camp. Smoke from cooking fires was also rising. Among the vast mountains illuminated by the setting sun, Fei Tingsheng even recited poems in a rather elegant manner.

"The smoke rises straight up from the desert, the sun sets over the long river..."

Fei Tingsheng thought about it and felt that it was a little inappropriate.

"Black clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it; the armor shines in the sun, with golden scales..."

It didn't seem very appropriate to the occasion. He wanted to compose a poem to suit the occasion, but after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with one. However, his subordinates cheered one after another.

"The general is indeed very knowledgeable. He even knows so much about Han Chinese poetry. Haha, how impressive!"

"The desert is filled with solitary smoke, the long river is filled with setting sun, what a wonderful poem! This poem is magnificent and fits this scene perfectly at this time. General, you are awesome!"

"..."

There was a flood of flattery for a while, and although the praise was not quite appropriate, Fei Tingsheng still smiled happily.

Suddenly, a scout was seen rushing in from a distance, and the scout shouted loudly from a distance: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Before Fei Tingsheng could react, the soldiers at the foot of the mountain were already in a panic.

Fei Tingsheng looked behind the scout. Under the setting sun, thick smoke was rising behind the scout.

Fei Tingsheng's pupils suddenly shrank rapidly, he stood up and shouted loudly: "Prepare for battle! Prepare for battle!"

The assistant generals also took off their armor and hurried to put it on upon hearing this. The cavalrymen ran to mount their horses, but were busy setting up camp and had no time to put on their armor. Fei Tingsheng however hurried to put on his armor.

But seeing the thick smoke approaching quickly, Fei Tingsheng shouted loudly to the cavalry to go first to fight the enemy.

It has to be said that the Dangxiang cavalry were indeed elite. Although they were in a hurry, they still reacted quickly. Hundreds of them rushed out first to meet the enemy.

By now the thick smoke was approaching, and Fei Tingsheng could see clearly that there were a thousand enemy cavalrymen, and they were very powerful.

Fei Tingsheng was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly urged the personal soldier who was helping him put on the armor, "Hurry up!"

The enemy had already come into contact with hundreds of Dangxiang cavalry, but the thousand cavalry did not confront them head-on. Instead, they made a detour, passed by the Dangxiang cavalry, and then directly attacked the camp.

The camp had not yet been formed at this time, and the cavalry group rushed directly into the camp, causing chaos in the camp!

Fei Tingsheng's eyes were bloodshot.

At this time, there were mostly infantrymen in the camp. Because they were setting up camp and cooking, the infantrymen were not wearing armor, and there was no so-called formation. Facing the cavalry charging in, it was a one-sided massacre!

When Fei Tingsheng saw a thousand cavalrymen rushing into the camp, they immediately dispersed and divided into four teams. The four teams of cavalrymen dispersed and attacked the camp. Any Dangxiang soldiers who gathered would be run over one by one, and they would be dispersed and slaughtered again.

However, the cavalry led by one of the Ghost-Faced Riders specifically targeted cavalry.

He had thousands of cavalrymen, but only a few hundred of them were galloping out just now, while the remaining hundreds were still wearing armor and holding bows and arrows. They had just mounted their horses and had not yet formed a formation, but this Ghost-faced Knight led more than 200 cavalrymen and charged straight forward!

Even in a cavalry battle, an unformed cavalry unit would be no different from an infantry unit when facing a cavalry unit that is already running.

The cavalry led by the Ghost-Faced Rider rushed in like a sharp knife, and the scattered Tangut cavalry immediately fell off their horses. In panic, the Tangut cavalry were forced to disperse.

The Ghost-Faced Knight charged back and forth, but when the cavalry gathered together, the cavalry he led came like a whirlwind and dispersed them again.

Fei Tingsheng's heart was bleeding.
