It was noon, and the scorching sun burned the earth like fire...

In the northern suburbs of Jiuyuan City, a three-meter-high military hut had been built with wooden racks, and a row of thatched huts were temporarily added to the front of the military hut.

Under the shade of the thatched hut, Xiangzhuang sat on the ground on the ground.

Jin Xiang was wearing a habitual belt and stood behind Xiang Zhuang with a horizontal knife.

Xiang Zhuang left, Wei Liao, Wu She, Baili Xian sat on the ground in turn, and the right head was Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Gao Chu, Pang Yu, Tian Heng, Xiao Kai and other generals.

Under the platoon, nearly 20,000 Chu soldiers formed four square formations under the scorching sun.

It was late September, and it had been more than two months since the Qin army returned to Chu. With the Qin army's words and deeds, the Chu army's cavalry and shooting level has been greatly improved.

And today is the three-month period set by Xiang Zhuang, a day of great competition.

Gao Chu, Pang Yu, Tian Heng and Xiao Kai selected five hundred cavalry with the most outstanding cavalry from their respective armies. Today, the big competition among the army was the four cavalry.

Before the time came, Xiang Zhuang was chatting with Wei Liao.

"Military advisor, we will leave in a few days."

"Yes, Hetao is so good, I can't bear to leave."

"That's right, in Hetao, you can eat meat and drink mutton soup every day, which is really good."

Wu She inserted in next to her: "No matter how good Hetao is, it is not our hometown after all."

Bailixian, who was at the edge of the side, just shaking the feather fan gently, and without saying a word, returned to Jiangdong. The Chu people returned to their hometown, but the old Qin people left their hometown. But that doesn’t matter. A man should take the three-foot sword in order to gain fame and fame, and regard the world as his home. Why should he fall in love with his hometown?

Xiang Zhuang suddenly asked Baili Xian, "Ziliang, is there any new movement in Guanzhong?"

Xiang Zhuang has never relaxed his attention to Guanzhong. Bailixian also reported to Xiang Zhuang about the situation in Guanzhong every now and then. In the past three months, Xiang Zhuang has mastered some information about Liu Bang, for example, the complete harvest of autumn grain in Guanzhong this year has become a foregone conclusion.

The out-of-capture harvest in Guanzhong this year means that Liu Bang will have to allocate combat reserve grain from Bashu to provide relief to the people of Guanzhong. This also means that Liu Bang will not be able to launch a large-scale war in Guandong within at least two years. If he encounters the drought, flood and locust plague, he will probably not be able to mobilize troops within five years.

Also, Liu Bang is also training cavalry on a large scale.

Obviously, Xiang Zhuang's actions of training cavalry in Hetao had already stabbed Liu Bang's nerves.

Due to poor food and grass, the Han army could not go north to Hetao to expel the Chu army. However, with Zhang Liang and Chen Ping's eyesight and Liu Bang's perseverance, they naturally would not watch the Han army fall into a tactical passiveness. Since more than two months ago, Xiao He opened a horse market in Longxi and the north, using iron tools, cloth, tea, and Yuezhi people to trade horses.

This is not good news for Xiang Zhuang, because although Guanzhong under Liu Bang's rule had been ruined by the Chu army, Bashu was intact. With Bashu's financial and material resources, Liu Bang could easily trade a large number of excellent war horses from the Qiang, Yuezhi and other border Hu people.

In addition, Liu Bang also had old Qin generals like Li Bi and Luo Jia!

Li Bi and Luo Jia may not be as brave as the G-sen G-sen, and it is even more impossible for the Qin army to have such a high prestige as the G-sen G-sen. However, in training cavalry, the two might not lose to G-sen G-sen. With these two Qin generals training cavalry for Liu Bang, in time, a huge and powerful cavalry will appear under Liu Bang!

However, these are news from the previous few months.

Bailixian bowed his hand and said to Xiang Zhuang: "Look at Zhou Bo, Fu Kuan, and Li Shang have led 50,000 troops to the northern land, Shangjun and Longxi military farms."

"Large-scale military farming?" Xiang Zhuang's brows immediately frowned.

This is really bad news for Xiang Zhuang and Chu Jun.

Military farming is actually not new. As early as the Qin and the Warring States Period, there were records of prisoners being sent to the Central Plains countries. Wu soldiers went to the border to cultivate farming. The main thing was to use military farming to get prisoners. Wu soldiers supported their own strength and even in turn subsidized the national treasury. Men G Tian led an army of 300,000 to attack the Huns in the north. The military farming system implemented in Hetao was actually the military farming system.

Large-scale military camps are a killer weapon to solve the dilemma of food and grass scarcity!

Historically, after capturing Hetao, Emperor Wu of Han conscripted 600,000 Wu soldiers to carry out large-scale military camps in Hetao, thus supporting decades of war against the Huns and eventually defeating the Huns.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, heroes emerged. In the turbulent times, it was precisely because of the more perfect military military farming system that Cao Cao made the Cao army sufficient military food. Although he was in the four battles, he could continue to fight against the outside world and finally unify the vast map north of the Yellow River. If there was no perfect military farming system, it would be unimaginable.

Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but look back at Wei Liao, and then both of them sighed at the same time.

In a short period of time, there is no need to worry too much. What is really terrifying about the military farming system is the ability to continuously produce military food, because once the Guanzhong and Bashu built a large-scale military farming base, they can continuously deliver military food to the Han army. In this way, as long as they survive these few years, the Han army will no longer be in a dilemma of lack of military food in the future.

In this way, it is difficult for the strategy of stir-frying millet to be a pro or a disadvantage.

The strategy of stir-frying millet has made the failure of autumn grain harvest in Guanzhong a foregone conclusion. Although it could make the Han army unable to raise troops in a short period of time, it also forced Xiao Heqiong to seek change and imitate the First Emperor to use the weapon of military farming. Once the effect of military farming is revealed, the Han army will be able to continue to use military troops to the outside world in the future. This is a good thing that turns into a bad thing.

At this moment, Xiang Zhuang was destroyed because of the good mood he had trained in the cavalry.

Xiang Zhuang turned around and ordered Jin Xiang, "Jin Xiang, hurry up and start."

"Here!" Jin Xiang responded with a loud promise, then walked to the backstage and waved his hand below. The hundreds of horns guarding the scorching sun raised their hands.

The next moment, the loud and powerful horn sounded soared into the sky.

Seven or eight miles away, in the sparse poplar forest.

Gao Chu's personal captain Po Jun was leaning against a big tree and napping. Although it was noon now and the sun was scorching, the forest was filled with cool breezes and there was no feeling of heat at all.

Beside Pojun, there were groups of personal soldiers resting on the spot.

Suddenly, a low and powerful horn sound came from outside the forest.

Pojun immediately turned over and sat up. His personal soldiers had already led his war horse over. Pojun turned over the horse and pulled out his horizontal sword and raised it high. Suddenly, the soldiers who were originally lying on the ground resting got up one after another, then turned over the horses as fast as possible, and then took out the cold double-edged swords.

A faint murderous aura suddenly spread in the poplar forest.

Suddenly, Po Jun gently activated the war horse under his crotch, then led the horizontal knife in his hand forward, and the five hundred elite cavalry drove the war horse under his crotch one after another, following Pojun and slowly emerged from the poplar forest.

On the siege platform, Xiang Zhuang, Wei Liao and others looked up at the poplar forest several miles away on the left.

Suddenly, a strong and strong knight covered in armor emerged from the poplar forest like a ghost, and then the second, third, fourth, fifth...

The more and more cavalrymen behind the armored knights gathered.

The horses were crowded with iron hooves, and five hundred cavalrymen began to charge.

There were still a thousand steps away from the pointing platform. The armored knight raised his sword and roared again, and the cavalry following behind him suddenly changed their formation.

The cavalry in front slowed down slightly, but the cavalry in the rear accelerated forward, and the entire cavalry formation began to spread rapidly towards the two wings. With just taking a breath, the entire cavalry formation had been fully unfolded, setting up five rows of front and back, each row of a hundred cavalry formations, rumbled towards the front of the pointing platform.

"Aoah..."

Seeing the 500 cavalry's momentum, the 4,500 personal soldiers standing in line under the squadrons immediately cheered like a tsunami. On the squadrons, Gao Chu couldn't help but look glamorous. These five hundred cavalry were the most outstanding cavalry among the entire personal soldiers, but the performance had just begun and the good show was still behind.

As he approached the point of the military platform, the armored knight raised his sword and roared again.

The next moment, five thousand cavalrymen returned to their scabbards, held their bows and stood upright from the horse's back, and then pulled out the horn bow opposite the point platform. The armored knight fell down the horizontal sword in his hand. The five hundred cavalrymen released their bowstrings at the same time. With the sound of breaking through the air, the five hundred grass men standing in front of the point platform were already full of feather arrows.

Although it has not been counted, almost no arrows have fallen out.

"Ao..." The next moment, the armored knight roared again.

Five hundred cavalry quickly returned to their sheaths and carried out a cold double-edged heavy sword.

In the midst of lightning, the entire cavalry formation rushed into the middle of the grass men standing like a forest in front. The next moment, Gao Yang's heavy swords were slashed one after another. In the flash of cold light, the rows of towering grass men fell to the ground, and the cavalry rumbled by. When Xiang Zhuang and others looked at each other again, all five hundred grass men were killed in the waist!

Under the ordering stage, 4,500 personal soldiers immediately cheered more and more enthusiastically.

"Gaochu, good-looking!"

"I didn't embarrass our Da Chu at last, haha!"

Huan Chu and Ji Bu also turned around to congratulate Gao Chu.

Xiang Zhuang nodded slightly. Although these 500 cavalrymen are all elite soldiers, they cannot represent the cavalry and shooting level of the entire personal army, at least it can be seen that the Chu army's cavalry and shooting training in the past three months is still very effective. Next, should we consider adding some practical experience to the soldiers?

Thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang narrowed his eyes.
Chapter completed!
