Chapter 466 Yan Xing
Chapter 466: Yan Xing
Han Sui did not think that the 500,000 cavalry he sent could intercept the imperial Yiren army. The purpose was only to delay the opponent's marching speed so that his army could catch up.w w w . c o m. Therefore, when the 500,000 cavalry left the army and accelerated to chase the imperial Yiren army, he himself led the remaining army toward Didao.
But even so, Han Sui still couldn't guarantee that his cavalry would definitely hold back the imperial army. After all, if the other party took out the determination of a hero to cut off his arm and sent an army to stop his cavalry, it would be entirely possible. Therefore, Han Sui also issued an order, which was to allow the rebel leaders in Qinchuan City to break out and cut off the passage of Qinchuan and Tianshui. Without the supply from the rear, Han Sui believed that even if the sunshine had the ability to go all the way, it would not be possible for a few days.
...
At this time, a little disagreement occurred in the imperial army led by Yang Tian.
"Brother Sunshine, I think we should be those cavalrymen who have separated from the opponent's large forces. This will not only damage the morale of the opponent and consume the strength of the rebels, but also gain great benefits after the war. That is 500,000 cavalry! That is 500,000 war horses!" Fengliu Wanderer's eyes turned red as soon as he heard Han Sui sent a cavalry of 500,000 to chase them.
This made him unable to help but be jealous! As he said, it was 500,000 war horses. Even if there was a loss in one battle, there should be 200,000 to 300,000, right? With the current forces in the Yiren Army, the Fengliu Wanderer can get at least 10,000 war horses. You should know that at this time, there were no 10,000 cavalry in the Liufeng Alliance, and they were short Sichuan horses, which was more than one level worse than the tall Xiliang horse.
This is also the same problem encountered by a large number of players. The court has too strict control over the war horses of the alien forces. Unless it is cultivated by itself, it is impossible to buy too many war horses from the NPC forces. Even if the war horses flowed from the NPC forces are all graded and their origins are documented. If any force buys war horses from the NPC forces, the number of war horses cannot exceed a certain proportion. This is also the reason why Liufeng Alliance has not yet collected 10,000 war horses. Moreover, the quality of war horses is limited. If an individual player wants to buy war horses, if they are not strong, such as just ordinary fourth- and fifth-level soldiers, they can only buy some slow horses for transportation. No one can think of it at a higher level.
However, if the war horses trained by the players themselves are not included in this restriction. In fact, this restriction is the same as the system players' restrictions on high-level or high-quality equipment. There is no limit to the equipment forged by the players themselves, but it is impossible to buy high-level or high-quality equipment from the NPC forces.
But so far, even large players have not been able to build any large ranches. What limits the size of the player ranches is not the grassland, but the number of stallions. The number of stallions is too small, and even if you create a large grassland, the efficiency of cultivating war horses will not become higher.
Therefore, when hearing these 500,000 war horses, not only Fengliu Wani, but the other leaders of the player forces were also a little jealous. The only one who was more indifferent was Yang Tian. Who told him to rob nearly 300,000 war horses from Bian Zhang not long ago? Now the 300,000 war horses have been raised on the ranch of Jixiang Island. It is estimated that by then, most of the stallions inside will be left, and in addition, the Jixiang Island ranch has accumulated 20,000 stallions before, so the number can reach 220,000. In this scale, it will be more than 200,000 stallions.
, this ranch can produce about 200,000 war horses every month. Wrong, it is impossible that all of them are war horses, because there will be some horses, and only those with qualified quality can become war horses. However, the stallions in the Jixiang Island Ranch are of very good quality, and with the bonus of Xiaobai, the chance of producing a slow horse is very low, and the maximum of about one hundred is only seven or eight. Who made Xiaobai's bonus too abnormal? Therefore, as far as war horses are concerned, Baiyun City is fully self-sufficient, and even has a slight savings.
Although many people are jealous of those war horses, there are still some people who do not agree with fighting with the cavalry sent by Han Sui. This person is the Fengyunjihui of the Jiuzhou League. After Fengyunjihui finished speaking, Fengyunjihui said: "Brother Prodigal, your approach is a bit risky. You must know that we are now attacked by all sides. If you are not careful, you may be surrounded by the other party. At that time, we may not have a chance to escape. And fighting with that cavalry unit will inevitably delay our time. Can you guarantee that during this period, Han Sui's army in the north and Li Xiangru's army in the south will not be surrounded?"
Fengliu Wanderer said, "Brother Fengyun is such a bad word. Although there will be some risk in killing the 500,000 cavalry, can there be a free lunch in the world? As long as there is enough profit, it is necessary to take a risk. We will not fight our entire army, and we will also get those war horses back once. As long as we succeed, we can break the blockade of war horses by the court forces on our war horses to a certain extent, which is absolutely cost-effective. Moreover, as long as we are flexible enough, the other party will not be able to leave us."
Fengyunjihui still didn't agree with Fengliu Wanzi's statement, and said, "Brother Prodigal, are you a little taken for granted? The other party is a cavalry. Once the situation is not good, he will run away. With our two legs, how can we keep it?"
Fengliu Wan Zi looked at Yang Tian and said, "This depends on Brother Sunshine. With Mr. Guo's talent, he will definitely think of a way to leave this cavalry."
...
The commander of the cavalry sent by Han Sui was his confidant Yan Xing. Yan Xing was also a great man and was Han Sui's son-in-law, so Han Sui trusted him very much.
At this time, Yan Xing led 500,000 cavalry and rushed directly to the Yiren army of the court. He followed Han Sui's orders and did not intend to betray the imperial army. Instead, he wanted to use the mobility of the cavalry to harass the imperial army and delay the speed of the marching.
When Yan Xing led the cavalry to set off, the distance between him and the imperial army was only about 300 kilometers. According to the cavalry's speed, it would only take two or three hours to arrive. Of course, the imperial army would continue to march southward, so the time might be longer. But it would not be too long. After all, the cavalry has a very obvious speed advantage over the initial pants.
When Yan Xing led his army to chase after the imperial army about 100 kilometers behind the imperial army, he suddenly received a report from the spies from the front. The imperial army actually stopped in front and was resting on the spot.
When Yan Xing heard the news, he immediately frowned. How could the General of the East of the Conquest let the army stop? Didn’t he know that the rear was not just his cavalry unit, but also the more than 7 million Xiliang army led by his father-in-law. Sunshine wouldn’t think that the more than 7 million troops he led could compete with him? What’s more, the place where the imperial army was stationed was only about 100 kilometers away from Didao City. If the two million troops in the city quickly came out of the city to cover it, they could arrive in at most four or five hours. Sunshine wouldn’t have thought it would be unexpected?
Anyway, Yan Xing was very confused about Yang Tian's approach, but he had a way to respond to all changes. He first continued to chase the court army, and at the same time reported the situation to his father-in-law and asked him to make specific arrangements. When he chased him to more than 20 kilometers from the court army, if the court army continued to stay in place, he would hold his troops and wait for the army behind him. Once they got up, he would chase him. I believe that while moving, the court army, which was almost all infantry, would not cause any trouble to him. Moreover, this area was full of deserts, and cavalry could gallop on it at will. Yan Xing completely occupied the right time, place, and people.
...
Half an hour later, Yan Xing received reward from the spies in front again. After resting for a while, the imperial army actually stood up again and headed south again.
Didn’t Yangguang know that there were pursuers behind him before? This was impossible? If Yangguang didn’t know the existence of Han Sui’s army, he would have led his army to continue to go west, rather than turning south when he was more than 300 kilometers away from Han Sui’s army. This was obviously an adjustment made only after knowing the movement ahead.
Yan Xing was indeed a little confused, but he was not worried about the conspiracy of the imperial army. You should know that there was a flat mountain all around here, and even if the sunlight had to make an ambush, it would be impossible. Without a cover, how to ambush?
Therefore, with Yan Xing's order, the army accelerated its pursuit of the court's Yiren army again. His purpose was very simple, that is, to try to hold back the progress of the court's army, let Han Sui's army catch up as soon as possible, and then end the battle here. Because Han Sui had told him before that they had to wipe out this army as soon as possible, and then they could advance eastward and unite with Fufeng Ma Teng and Hanyang Kingdom. Before the court responded, they could take down a large area of land in the northwest so that they could have the capital to continue to compete with the court. Otherwise, with their small border land, as long as the court recovered, they would be the ones who would feel uncomfortable.
Yan Xing led his army to attack, and at the same time, the scouts in front of him continued to deliver the news. Of course, the way to deliver the news is not a cavalry, but a carrier pigeon. In this rapidly changing battlefield, if you rely on horses to convey the news, it will definitely miss the opportunity to fight.
The news passed along the way made Yan Xing very relieved, because the court army was too large and all composed of strange people, and the military discipline was not very strict, which caused him to spend too much time when the army stood up and moved forward, and the scene was quite chaotic. So much so that after half an hour passed, the court army had not completely withdrawn from its garrison. (To be continued.
