Chapter 1312: The Way of Hospitality
Cao Yun was more concerned about the old battle camps of the Ming Dynasty. In his opinion, those troops were the essence of the Ming army and were not familiar with new generals like Li Xiaoya, but if it were Xian Bisong, his feelings would be very different. In the past two years, the name Li Xiaoya has brought him too many unpleasant memories.
On the border, it is common for both armies to cross the border to harass. Today you fuck me, and tomorrow I want to find the situation even if I can do everything possible. This has led to no large-scale wars on the border, but small-scale conflicts occur almost every day. If we count the general account, the blood will be shed no less than a big war. However, the whole person has shed more blood.
What caused this situation was the arrangement of the Ming army and the strategy of the governor of Taoyuan County Ben Kuan. A large number of Qin immigrants and barbarian immigrants were placed at the forefront by Ben Kuan. For these people, the Ming Dynasty built houses for them, divided land, tools, and livestock, so that they could have a place to settle down and a foundation for their life. They were naturally grateful. They were even more ambitious to use their hard work to exchange for a happy future life. They didn't care much about being in a conflicted place in frontiers. People from these two places had a fighting atmosphere flowing from their blood source.
When Ben Kuan built these settlement sites, he deliberately built these settlement sites into tightly defended gathering places. Each village was a city. Although the wall was not high, it was enough to deal with the harassment and invasion of small groups of enemies. Moreover, Ben Kuan persuaded General Wu Ling to distribute a large number of weapons eliminated by the Ming army to these villagers, so that they could protect themselves. Some retired Ming soldiers were sent to these villages to become military officers, which also gave these villagers some of the most basic combat awareness and combat skills.
After these were completed, the invasion of the Qi army became a painful thing, because every invasion was a tough attack for them, and there were very few hopes to get benefits. What was paid was completely in proportion to what was gained.
But on the other hand, the Ming army's cross-border invasion caused real harm to the Qi people. The main implementer of these invasions was the cavalry commanded by Li Xiaoya to pass the electric battalion.
The combat style of the Ming army's passive battalion was ever-changing and had no rules to follow. Xian Bisong set up one trap after another and hoped to break this difficult enemy, at least to make them no longer so unscrupulous, but he never succeeded. The opponent's general seemed to have an intuition and keen judgment on the traps on the battlefield.
What embarrassed Xian Bisong the most was that Li Xiaoya invaded with a small group of troops. After entering Changning County, they suddenly gathered together and rushed to capture a county under Changning County for a long distance. They burned the county gulf there and captured the county magistrates and garrison generals there alive. He did not kill these officials of the Great Qi, but he stripped them all naked on the city tower. When Xian Bisong arrived, Li Xiaoya and his cavalry had long disappeared, and the official hanging on the city tower was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Although this man is extremely young, he is extremely difficult to deal with. If Yu Chao, another cavalry general of the Ming army, was good at fighting tough battles and was a tiger with wings, then Li Xiaoya's Zhudian Camp was a cunning fox, always appearing in unexpected places.
If you want to choose an opponent, Xian Bisong hopes to meet Yu Chao instead of Li Xiaoya. This general with a woman's name is as vicious as a snake or scorpion.
Li Xiaoya looked at Cao Yun and his group as they were getting closer and closer, and a strange smile appeared on her face.
Cao Yun was naturally also examining the cavalry in front of him. He had to pay attention, because there were only two established cavalry in the Ming Dynasty. One was Yu Chao, who had been famous for a long time, and he was one of the important generals who started his career with Qin Feng. Li Xiaoya was a rising star, but just by looking at this cavalry, Cao Yun felt creepy.
The lineup of thousands of cavalry is not messy at all, and the voices are not heard. The knights are extremely calm and cannot see any excitement. Cao Yun cannot even feel any murderous aura. However, those who truly understand soldiers know that such troops are the most difficult to deal with. Their calmness is their greatest characteristic. Such an army will never get angry. They can always calmly find the enemy's fatal weaknesses, and then pounce on them like a hungry tiger to tear the enemy's vital points.
Compared with the cavalry in front, the infantry behind them was obviously much worse. They could have a sharp fighting spirit. Although Cao Yun was far away, he could smell the murderous intent.
How did such a young man be trained?
He suddenly remembered Qin Feng. When he started his business, Qin Feng was as young as Li Xiaoya.
He looked at this army carefully in meditation, as if it was even better than Long Xiang's army. He came to this conclusion, which made him secretly shocked.
He suddenly felt that he wanted to re-examine the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. As a Fengfeng camp, which is as famous as the Zhui Electric Battalion and is older and has fought more battles, what kind of existence should it be?
Li Xiaoya suddenly raised the spear in his hand, just as Cao Yun was about to walk to him.
"Welcome to the guests!" he shouted loudly.
"Kill!" The thousands of cavalry, who were still extremely quiet just now, raised the horse spear in their hands as soon as Li Xiaoya's words landed, and roared out in unison.
Thousands of people shouted in unison, and the war horses under their crotch seemed to be activated at this moment, tilting their heads and neighing, and the quiet military formation suddenly came alive.
Due to the sudden outbreak of the cavalry battalion in front, the infantry behind were immediately driven and roared involuntarily. For a moment, the shouts of killing spread from one army to another, and lasting for a long time.
Cao Yun had been through a lot of battles, so he would not be scared. He just looked up at Li Xiaoya opposite him in surprise. However, Ben Kuan beside him was so scared that his body shook and almost fell off his horse. His body shook for a while, and he grabbed the saddle and then stabilized his body. He couldn't help but look at Li Xiaoya in anger.
Wu Ling also raised his eyebrows. This drama was not within his expectations.
Li Xiaoya stepped forward, snatched the horse spear and inserted it on the ground, clasped her fists with both hands, and said loudly: "Ming Ming Dynasty met Li Xiaoya, I have seen a distinguished guest, please invite him!"
He rode his horse to the side, and with a rush, behind him, the cavalry put the horse lances together, and the mercy buckles on the horse lances accurately linked each other, forming a narrow passage for only one passage. The cavalry held the spear with one hand and the sabre at the waist with the other, which meant that they would draw their swords and cut them with one disagreement.
Cao Yun glanced at Wu Ling. There was no expression on the black and thin guy's face, but Cao Yun knew very well that this was definitely not Wu Ling's arrangement. This guy would not play such a trick. Ben Kuan, who was beside him, was almost scared and fell off his horse. It was obvious that the young general opposite him was stubborn. It seemed that he was not very mature. In the future, this might be a weakness that could be exploited.
He smiled, "What a treat."
Li Xiaoya's smile was lowered, and her tone became colder: "When my friend comes, there is good wine. If the jackal comes, he will naturally be greeted by swords and guns. The guns are in front and the blade is on the side. Can His Royal Highness dare to leave?"
Cao Yun smiled and shook his head, and walked without saying a word, heading straight towards the passage made of a horse spear.
Ben Kuan quickly followed, Wu Ling rode his horse behind Li Xiaoya, lowered his voice and shouted: "Let's go back and deal with you."
Li Xiaoya smiled, "The enemy is the enemy, why bother to pretend?"
"You know nothing!" Wu Ling said a word and rushed up.
Cao Yun calmly traveled through the gun forest. Behind him, Ben Kuan followed closely and explained something in a low voice. Cao Yun also responded with a smile. When Wu Ling rushed over, he quickly took back his horse spears. They didn't have the courage to put the gun forest on the general's head.
Looking at their backs, Li Xiaoya spat, "What prince, is it so amazing to pretend to be profound? One day, I, Li Xiaoya, will cut your head as a ball to kick."
When Li Xiaoya became a general in command, Cao Yun had already retreated to the second line and stayed in Taoyuan County for a few years. He was more involved in dealing with Xian Bisong and his generals. He really didn't know about Cao Yun. He really didn't know that the old man who looked very ordinary in front of him was really a well-known figure. Only a fledgling little guy like Li Xiaoya dared to ignore such a sensible person, but instead thought about how to deal with him.
"The little guy is ignorant, don't take his Highness the Prince to heart." Wu Ling had to apologize for Li Xiaoya's unreasonableness. No matter what, the position of the prince in front of him in the history of war is not worthy of his respect.
"It's okay, the innocent heart is so gratifying. He reminds me of when I was young, I am not afraid of heaven or earth. The first and second in heaven, it seems that everything is no problem. However, the older the person is, the smaller the courage, just like you and me. I hope this little guy's spirit will always be so high." Cao Yun said with a smile.
