Chapter 681 The Liangmang Army was in close contact, and the song of Zhenling was singing slowly
Fan Xiaochai turned his head and raised his head, so that people could not see her eyes.
Grandpa, dad, it is not embarrassing to lose to such a Xu family cavalry.
The sky is high in the northwest and the night comes late.
The Six Thousand Youqi did not march closely against the outer periphery of Ji and He, but drew an arc and a half. If the northern defense line of Ji and the River is like a relatively flat and straightened bow string, then the trajectory of Youqi is the bow arm. In the area covered by bow strings and bow arms, many Beimang scouts left the gourd mouth and snaked it in order to prevent the army from being attacked from the side by the Youzhou cavalry who were alone in the Youzhou. This time, Yu Luan Dao still used the “forced” galloping force of the cavalry, reaching a terrifying three days and six hundred miles of advance. If it is in the eyes of an amateur who only knows how to talk about war on paper, or the common people who have heard too many famous horses in the northwest who can travel thousands of miles a day, this speed can be considered a forceful march. But if both of them can see with their own eyes how dusty the Youzhou cavalry is, and if they look at the scene of nearly a hundred war horses lying limp or even falling to death on the spot after the cavalry stops, they will understand how difficult it is to travel this long-distance emergency that is most likely to be put on the battlefield in the next moment.
In the twilight, Xu Fengnian washed the horse’s nose at a water source where winter snow melted. This time, their 6,000 Youzhou cavalry had a total of more than 15,000 horses, approaching one man and three cavalry. More than 400 horses were killed on the way, almost all of which were Beimang war horses seized from the northern battlefield of Yinyao City at that time. It’s not that the Mangma lost much physical strength to the Youzhou war horse. In fact, it’s just the opposite. Although the Beimang war horse lost its explosive power in the battlefield charge to the Beiliang horse, in terms of physical strength, the Mangma actually has to win. However, the two ten thousand men, Hui Lilu and Lang Sien, marched all the way to Jibei at that time, and in order to take care of the overall situation of the Eastern Front, there was no enough for one person to ride on both sides. Even if they took a temporary rest for a day before the war and used refined grain to feed the horses to fat, it was still not enough to make up for the damage to the horse’s physical strength. This time, the Youqi felt sorry for his “daughter-in-law” who had been dependent on each other for many years. During the march, he deliberately rode more Beimang war horses, and he was even more favorable to feeding the forage. It is inevitable that the Beimang horses died of exhaustion.
Yu Luan Dao, who rolled up her sleeves, carefully cleaned the back of the mount and smiled, “It was originally possible that there would be no need to run so many war horses to death. If one person and three riders were willing to spread their feet equally, at most fifty-six would die.”
Xu Fengnian looked around and smiled, “It would be good that this would be the case. There will definitely be continuous wars tomorrow, so we should be taking energy and replenishing our strength. Our cavalry was obviously more familiar with the habits of Youzhou war horses. It would be better to die hundreds of more Beimang war horses than to die on the battlefield.”
Yu Luan Dao nodded and said softly, “Fan Fen’s more than 300 scouts have been scattered, most of which are fifty cavalry, and at least half a scout. After all, we have already started to encounter the Beimang horse railing this morning. In order to prevent the whereabouts of our army from leaking, Fan Fen’s scouts were onlyTo see the enemy scout, you must kill them all, otherwise as long as you escape from the Beimang cavalry, you will lose all your efforts. I am very grateful to the prince for his willingness to send out the three close entourages to help Fan Fen’s scouts. With them walking with you, you will have much greater confidence in annihilation of Beimang Malanzi. “
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, “The young woman has the word “Xuan” in Fushuifang, and the old man refers to the master of swordsmanship in Xuan Realm. As for the child, he is called Yu Dilong, who is the eldest disciple among my three disciples. “
Yu Luandao joked: “They killed Beimang Horse Roof, which is a bit like hitting sparrows with a bed crossbow. “
Xu Fengnian shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: “I won’t talk about it for now, just wait. Beiliang will give Beimang a small surprise in the future. “
During this period, Xu Fengnian was like the most ordinary Youzhou cavalry. Not only did he not take away the military power of Yu Luan’s sword, but he did not walk around like several generals during several short rests. He just acted as a temporary scout several times and went out to spy on military affairs away from the main cavalry.
This time, the Youqi cavalry will all light cavalry, abandoning excess baggage, and reducing all items that will delay the speed of the cavalry. Except for a very few generals, all the cavalry only wear a cool knife and a light crossbow. Those with outstanding wings can add a hard bow and three arrow pouches. The marching formation has been in the column form in the past few days. After entering the combat area tomorrow, the horizontal line will be laid out during the war. This forced marching, the Youqi cavalry has never penetrated deep into the bottom of the border army before. Xu Fengnian was very eye-opening. For example, those Youzhou war horses did not need to be pulled by the horsemen at all, and could be moved closely with the owner. Even if they were temporarily stationed and rested, the war horses would always wander within a few feet of the owner. This means that even if the Youzhou cavalry encountered a sneak attack that the scouts had no time to report, six thousand Youqi could still wear armor and horses in half a stick of incense without any disorder to meet the enemy, and complete it in one go!
The three feet of ice is not a day’s cold. The outstanding horses of Youzhou are related to the “most important horse politics in northern Liang” in Liyang.
The scout of Yibiao galloped back from the southwest. The rider who was riding alongside the scout of the scout was a young man with a tender face. The equestrian was so so sophisticated that he didn’t have to hold the reins of the horse. The posture of his sleeves with both hands was similar to his master. The scout of more than 40 riders under his command let the scouts get off the horse and rest. He and the child named Yu Dilong rode the horse to the main general Yu Luandao and the “General” Xu Fengnian. After dismounting, he bowed his hand and fisted, and then reported the military situation. It turned out that they were more than 60 miles away. Outside, I met the elite horse railing in a military town in Longyaozhou. I thought it would be a fierce battle with heavy casualties, but I didn’t expect that the child would take the lead and then jumped high and left the horse’s back. I beat more than twenty horses to death with both fists in one breath. After the Youqi scout drew his sword to charge, it turned into a one-sided pursuit. One of the scenes was that the thin young man was still in the air, and he grabbed a feather arrow shot from the rifle cavalry toward the long face, and then the child inserted it into the horse railing.The leader pushed the corpse away, squatted on the back of the Beimang war horse, and grinned at the head who slapped the horse with gratitude.
As a result, this battle that should have been evenly matched was over. The scouts of Youzhou only injured nine people, and their injuries were not serious. At this time, the burly Biaochang couldn’t help but reach out to rub the child’s head, and he didn’t expect the child to tilt his body and then leaned back, avoiding Biaochang’s palm. The child’s feet were nailed into the yellow sandy land, and his body leaned back was inclined extremely, but he wanted to fall, which immediately attracted a burst of cheers from the nearby Youzhou cavalrymen.
Xu Fengnian looked at the child who always pretended to put his hands in his sleeves and glared: “Big kid, show off his master’s demeanor, stand up well!”
Yu Dilong laughed and stood up straight again. Only then did the chief bang successfully rub the child’s head. Because the fingers and palms are covered with calluses, although the movements are as gentle as possible, Yu Dilong’s hair is still messy. The child rolled his eyes secretly and sighed in an old-fashioned manner. After that, the chief of the flag squatted beside the water and washed his face randomly, glanced at the child beside him who had his butt stuck out and drank water with his mouth, and smiled knowingly. This little guy is really powerful. With one punch, he not only easily hit the Beimang barbarian, but even the war horse was pressed so hard that his legs broke and he couldn’t get up. He also swept his arms and smashed the child into two pieces of the iron armor and his body. After sighing, Biao Chang turned his head and said softly, “Little guy, when you go to the battlefield where thousands of cavalry fight each other, you should be more at ease. The Northern Barbarians’ riding and shooting are not bad. Once they are targeted, they will be very troublesome. Back then, our old Biao Chang also had good martial arts. At that time, he injured the ribs of several arrows on the side, which made the root of the disease. Otherwise, he would not have withdrawn from the border army so early.”
Yu Dilong nodded with a bright smile and said, “I knew it long ago. Master told me that this is called “two fists cannot beat four hands”. Do you have to kill enemies with dozens or hundreds of cavalry, which is not the same as a battle formation of thousands or tens of thousands. Don’t worry, my eyes are very good, and even if there is no eyes on my back, I can still feel that kind of thing called murderous intent. Besides, Master also said, in our Beiliang, we should go to the battlefield to kill enemies. As long as it is trapped in the formation, we can rush forward. It’s hard to say anything else, don’t worry about the back. If there is really danger, there will naturally be a robbery to block you.”
Na Chang asked, “The General said that.”
The child who drank several pounds of water in another breath was not afraid of being bloated at all raised his head and said, “No.”
The long-distance squatting by the water touched his chin and sighed, “This is not an old soldier in the border army, I can’t say it.”
“By the way, big man, what does robe mean?”
