Chapter 836 The Qiang Iron Cavalry Gathered(1/2)
Next, Xu Huang led the cavalry divisions of brothers Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun, and Yu Jin's infantry division to quickly cross westward.
Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun are direct descendants of Cao Cao and brothers of Lao Cao. Although they have different surnames, they are indeed one family.
In another dimension, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun were trusted by Lao Cao the most. Important passes and places were all garrisoned by the two brothers, plus the two brothers Cao Ren and Cao Hong. It can be said that people with the surname Cao and those with the surname Xiahou are the real Cao Cao.
direct lineage.
Even the Five-Son Good General can't compare with him.
Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun were also very good. Not only were they extremely powerful in terms of force, but the key was that they were very good at leading troops in combat.
In particular, Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren were regarded as famous generals under Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period.
Yu Jin is one of Lao Cao's five good generals, and he is also a very powerful master.
Especially for training soldiers, he is unique and is a generation of masters.
Imagine that in another dimension, the famous Qingzhou Army came from Yu Jin. You know, Cao Cao only handed over hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army remnants to Yu Jin, and he was able to train a group of Yellow Turban Army remnants into a strong army.
It shows how awesome the host is.
This aspect also shows that Yu Jin is very powerful, especially in training soldiers, he must be the best in the world.
To be honest, it is really difficult to lead Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, and Yu Jin. Without two brushes, these three talented people will not surrender.
Where is Xu Huang?
He was one of the earliest people to follow Qin Qi, and won Qin Qi's trust. He made great achievements in the process of quelling the chaos in the world.
Xu Huang is a rigorous person and extremely talented in leading troops in combat.
In addition, after entering the academy for training, his military strategy has been further improved, and his abilities are stronger than those in the original time and space.
Xu Huang is brave and capable of torturing Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun brothers. In terms of force value, Xu Huang has reached more than 98 points at this time. After all, Qin Qi has given Xu Huang a lot of Laoshan Ginseng over the years.
The effect is remarkable.
Because of Xu Huang's all-round abuse, the three generals Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun were able to make the three of them surrender.
"Report to General Xu that a large number of Qiang cavalry are gathered hundreds of miles ahead. The number is estimated to be more than 100,000."
Send orders to soldiers.
oh!
Xu Huang was slightly startled!
The action alerted the Qiang people and caused them to gather together to fight against the Xiakou Army. This was not a good sign.
"Is the information accurate?"
Xu Huangdao.
"General, we have conducted reconnaissance on horseback. At this time, the Qiang tribe is gathering in Laoshao. When we arrive,
Maybe there will be more Qiang cavalry. I heard from Tanma that there is a steady stream of Qiang cavalry coming."
Send orders to soldiers.
"Two Generals Xiahou and General Yu, what do you think of this problem?"
Xu Huangdao.
"General Xu, we have 20,000 cavalry in our hands, all equipped with the Three Treasures of Horses, and their combat effectiveness is stronger than the Qiang cavalry.
Although the opponent has the upper hand in terms of military strength, as long as we plan well, we will not be afraid of more than 100,000 Qiang cavalry and can fight."
Xia Houyuan said.
"Although our infantry division only has 15,000 people, it carries fifty Qin crossbows with the army. This is a lethal weapon against the cavalry.
However, if we want to eat more than 100,000 Qiang cavalry with 35,000 people, the risk is indeed a bit high."
On the forbidden road.
Xu Huang knew in his heart that if he moved well, he could indeed defeat more than 100,000 Qiang cavalry. The problem was that the Xiakou army would suffer heavy casualties.
It is not in the interests of the Xiakou Army to fear a second defeat.
"Where are General Xu Shu's troops and General Guo's troops and horses, and how long will it take for them to arrive for a decisive battle with the Qiang cavalry?"
Xu Huang asked.
"General Xu, if we just let the cavalry from General Xu Shu's tent and the cavalry from General Guo's tent come to kill us, we can arrive in half a day. If the infantry follows up, it will take two days."
Send orders to soldiers.
"Tell generals Xu Shu and Guo Jia about the situation here and ask them to send cavalry divisions to join the battle. We will try our best to delay the decisive battle."
Xu Huangdao.
"As you command!"
Send orders to soldiers.
"Tell our scouts to continue monitoring the Laoshaodang Qiang people and report any new information immediately."
Xu Huangdao.
"As you command!"
Send orders to soldiers.
Xu Huang looked at the map and pointed to a place.
"Two Generals Xiahou and General Yu, there is a small river more than ten miles ahead. Our army rushes over and sets up a defense system there. On the one hand, we can block the Qiang cavalry, and on the other hand, we wait for reinforcements to arrive. We can solve these more than ten people in one fell swoop.
Wanqiang people cavalry."
Xu Huangdao.
"As you command!"
Yu Jin, Xia Houyuan and Xiahou Dun held their fists together.
Boom!
The army sped up and rushed towards the predetermined place.
Yu Jin commanded the infantry to form a formation. Fifty Qin crossbows were placed in front of them. In front of the Qin crossbows, there were countless horse traps to block the antlers.
The antlers and horse pits are used to limit the speed of the war horse, slowing it down completely and preventing collision with the infantry.
Fifty Qin crossbows are flanked by archers, lined up in rows, and in front of the archers are shield soldiers and spear soldiers.
Twenty thousand cavalry division soldiers serve as reserves.
Boom!
The defensive position had just been built, and countless Qiang cavalry came to kill them. From a distance, they saw the Central Plains people standing ready.
The Qiang cavalry did not dare to rush forward recklessly, so they stopped to check the situation.
Damn it!
There were a full 150,000 Qiang cavalry, and only 35,000 Xiakou Army infantry cavalry could not withstand the attack.
"General Xu, it seems that the Qiang cavalry are still coming in a steady stream. It seems that the scale of this decisive battle will not be small."
Xia Houyuan said.
Xu Huang nodded.
To be honest, if the Qiang people gathered for a decisive battle with the Xiakou Army, the Xiakou Army would definitely welcome such a thing.
It would be easier for the Xiakou army to conquer by annihilating the Qiang cavalry and leaving some old, weak, sick, disabled women and children.
It's just that the speed at which the Qiang cavalry gathered surprised Xu Huang and was a bit unexpected.
At this stage, Xu Huang could only block it with all his strength and wait for the cavalry divisions under Xu Shu and Guo Jia to arrive.
"General Xu, have the Qiang cavalry been dispatched?"
On the forbidden road.
Xu Huang looked up and saw that the Qiang cavalry only dispatched five thousand cavalry for a tentative attack, not all at once.
"General Yu, the infantry is commanded by the general to fight. No matter how large the scale is, it must block the attack of the Qiang cavalry and buy time for the reinforced cavalry division."
Xu Huangdao.
"As you command!"
On the forbidden road.
Boom!
Five thousand Qiang cavalry, led by the captain, charged towards Xu Huang's army position.
aggressive.
1000 steps.
700 steps.
