Columns of military horses streamed in front of him, slowly walking into the skyline of the northwest horizon.

Peng Yichen had mixed feelings in his heart for a while.

It has been ten years since he came to the world of "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty", although Wei Qing is still only a young man in his twenties, but counting forty years of life on earth, his psychological age should be in his fifties now.

In the ten years of Jianzhang Camp, Peng Yichen can be said to be like a fish in water.

Wei Qing was originally a gentle and peaceful person who was also resolute and brave, and Peng Yichen was an old fritter with more than 40 years of life experience.

The personalities of the two people are integrated, and the interpersonal relationship in the barracks will naturally not be bad.

Coupled with his outstanding riding and archery swordsmanship, he is righteous and angry, and no one dislikes such a person.

Most of the men in the barracks are bloody and heroic. Therefore, Peng Yichen also made a group of friends.

With the support of these brothers in the army, Peng Yichen went from Jianzhang Supervisor to Shizhong to Taizhong Doctor, and gradually approached the center of power in this empire.

I still remember that one year, when the war between Dongou and Minyue broke out, Dongou asked Liu Che, the Son of Heaven, for help.

Liu Cheli sent troops to help, but the Empress Dowager Dou did not agree, and the military power was firmly grasped by the Empress Dowager Dou.

In the end, Liu Che had no choice but to send the middle doctor Yan Zhu as the Han envoy to transfer troops to Huiji with the scepter of the Son of Heaven.

Peng Yichen was sent as a deputy envoy and led a hundred Yulin to hold the sword of the Son of Heaven and his entourage. When the group arrived at Huiji, because there was no tiger talisman, Jun Sima refused to send troops. Peng Yichen immediately decided to kill the county Sima, and then ordered the county Taishou to send troops with the scepter of the Son of Heaven.

It was the first time he really commanded a large army to fight in front of the battle, and before the war, he stood in front of the officers and soldiers of the Huiji, and for the first time as a general gave a lecture before the battle.

In a few words, all the soldiers were mobilized by him, and the morale of the army was invincible.

But what he had in mind was not victory, not merit, but compassion.

He didn't know how many of the soldiers in front of him would come back alive, and he didn't know if he could bring back glory and rewards to this group of soldiers who followed him. From then on, he finally knew that the responsibilities of being a general were so heavy.

It's not a movie or TV series, it's thousands of living people, and it's only then that he really understands what he should shoulder as a real man.

Fortunately, he already knew the plot, first using the strategy of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" to relieve the siege of Dongou City, and then using the method of "bluffing" to scare Minyue into retreating without a fight, and truly achieved the goal of surrendering without a fight.

At the moment of the end of the war, he raised his arms and shouted "the Han army is mighty", and the picture of thousands of soldiers shouting "Han army mighty" was deeply rooted in his heart, and it is still vivid in his mind to this day.

After Dongou returned, Peng Yichen reined in his momentum and continued to hide in the Jianzhang camp, training the elite Yulin Army with peace of mind, which was the hope of the Han Dynasty to defeat the Huns.

In a blink of an eye, ten years have passed like a flick of a finger, Empress Dowager Dou, Princess Guantao and Chen Ajiao are in a panic, but Wei Zifu is a mother who walks towards the queen's throne step by step.

Everything is changing, but what has always remained the same is the determination of Liu Che, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and Jianzhang Ying Weiqing to defeat the Xiongnu.

In the sixth year of Yuanguang, the Huns bloodied the Han Shanggu, and the government and the opposition were furious. Liu Che decided to use troops against the Xiongnu, the soldiers were divided into four routes, each leading 10,000 cavalry, the guard lieutenant Li Guangwei led 10,000 cavalry out of Yanmen, the servant Gongsun He was the general of the light car out of the clouds, and the cavalry general Gongsun Ao went out of Dai County.

Peng Yichen was named the general of the chariot cavalry and led 10,000 horses out of the upper valley. The tacit agreement reached by the monarch and the minister when they shot the war horse in Shanglin Yuan has finally reached the moment of realization.

Peng Yichen felt that the strength of the heart beating in his chest had never been so strong, and in the past few days, he had led his army day and night, and the time to reach Shanggu was two days earlier than the scheduled time.

Peng Yichen, who had long known the outcome of this battle with the Xiongnu, was not satisfied with just following Wei Qing's trajectory to finish the war, because he was not an ancient man after all, but a time-traveler with the vision and knowledge of modern people, he was familiar with the actual situation of the Han Dynasty army, and he knew the biggest weakness of the Han Dynasty cavalry.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing led the Han Dynasty army to attack the Xiongnu many times, and the results were fruitful, but they rarely managed to annihilate the Xiongnu army in large numbers, why is this?

The record of "Historical Records of General Wei's Hussar Biography" tells the reason: "Those who do not fight the Huns again, there are fewer Han horses."

There are not enough horses, and you can't rely on two legs to chase and kill the Huns on horseback, and the reason is as simple as that.

There is also such a record in the history books, one time, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing led a large army out of the fortress to attack the Xiongnu. During the military parade before leaving the fortress, the government and private horses totaled 140,000. By the time they returned victoriously, there were less than 30,000 horses left.

Such a high loss of horses is caused by the absence of horseshoes.

In order to make this expedition go smoothly, Peng Yichen made a military order in front of Liu Che, rushed to make tens of thousands of sets of horseshoes, and nailed all the mounts of the cavalry led by himself. Unfortunately, several other cavalry units were extremely distrustful of horseshoes that had not been tested in actual combat, and some generals even thought that this kind of thing would consume the horse's physical strength and not be conducive to cavalry long-distance attacks.

Peng Yichen doesn't care about other people's gossip, he knows that many people are jealous of the emperor's trust in him, but in ten years, he can become a cavalry commander of 10,000 people, which can be said to be a rocket-like improvement speed in the Han Dynasty army.

In addition, in the early years of the Han Dynasty, due to the backwardness of cavalry tactics, the bilateral high bridge saddle had not yet appeared, and the stirrup had not yet been invented. When Peng Yichen raised horses in the palace, he used Liu Che as a horse stone more than once, kneeling on the ground for the emperor to step on the horse.

This made him, a modern man, hate, so early on he equipped all the war horses of the Yulin Army he trained with double-bridge saddles and bilateral stirrups.

These two things are very popular among the officers and soldiers in the army, and Liu Che even rewarded him with 500 gold for inventing these two things.

With this stirrup and Takahashi saddle, the cavalry did not have to be cautious at all times when riding, for fear that the legs would not be clamped enough to fall off the horse's belly and fall off the horse and be injured and injured. With the horseshoe, the war horse can run long distances, and there is no need to worry about losing the elite war horse in vain due to the wear or injury of the horse's hooves.

With these two sharp weapons, when Peng Yichen's army led the army to Shanggu according to the military order, he did not set up camp. Instead, he directly led the army to the north, led by a guide prepared in advance, and went straight to the Dragon City, the holy land of the Xiongnu sacrifice.

After a long march without hesitating horsepower, only a dozen horses in the cavalry team of 10,000 people were accidentally injured. Compared with the loss of horses in the previous Han Dynasty army, this is not even a dime. This has greatly boosted the morale of the whole army, and if an army cannot trust its own commanders, it will not be able to talk about combat effectiveness; if an army is willing to trust its life and unconditionally believe in its own generals, it will inevitably be invincible.

Sure enough, in the face of the 3,000 cavalry left behind by the Huns to defend Longcheng, Wei Qing's leading army only attacked two rounds, and they collapsed.

Because the stirrup can borrow strength, the cavalry of the Han Dynasty liberated by both hands is brave and incomparable, and this battle killed more than 2,000 Xiongnu people, captured more than 10,000 old and young women and children of the Xiongnu tribe in Longcheng, and captured countless cattle and sheep.

Peng Yichen's record of raiding Dragon City far exceeded Wei Qing's record in history. After returning to Chang'an in victory, the impact on the court was much greater than in history.

Since the "Siege of Baideng", since the Han and Hungarian policies of peace and proximity, every autumn and winter, the Huns invaded the border of the Han Dynasty, they burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil. Wei Qing, as a general who led the war to the territory of the Xiongnu, can already be said to have made outstanding achievements.

But Peng Yichen not only completely destroyed the dragon city of the Huns, killed a large number of Hun cavalry, but also brought back countless captives, cattle and sheep.

After this battle, the war horses in Peng Yichen's army not only did not decrease, but because of the capture of the Xiongnu's war horses, the 15,000 war horses brought before leaving the fortress suddenly increased to more than 21,000.

This is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire for the main battle forces that have gradually gained the upper hand within the Han Dynasty.

In just one month, a large number of lieutenant colonels were promoted.

Peng Yichen was named the Marquis of Guannei by Liu Che and was rewarded with ten thousand gold, and the officers and soldiers in the army he led also received numerous rewards.

Although the other three armies of the Han Dynasty returned in vain, they were not punished, but were stained with Wei Qing's light and received a certain reward.

Every soldier likes to follow generals who can win battles, because then they have a better chance of surviving and a better chance of glory and profit.

For a time, Peng Yichen's prestige in the Han Dynasty army was in full swing.
