Chapter 731. Feudal cavalry
No wonder Sima Yi is so active this time! The status of a warrior in this era is still very high, and the fastest way to establish prestige is military exploits! You can fight very well, and the big guy will be very convinced! Especially now he is not the commander of the light pole, in order to compete for the land and power in Guanxi, in the past three years, there are also these 30,000 or 40,000 households of the Kanto branch migrated to Guanzhong, eight households out of one cavalry and two subordinates, he can recruit 5,000 landlord cavalry from Guanzhong, riding donkeys or oxen, and paying 10,000 people for the master's family armor and food!
Wang Hou himself can also recruit the three thousand Xianbei naturalized Han knights who settled here that year, and more than 1,000 Guanxi knights who also moved back to Fufeng Jingzhao, this feudal knight plan Wang Hou has done very successfully, only Yongzhou can provide him with 10,000 knights with a fairly good quality and above in middle clothes, plus his Liaodong Knights a total of 21,000 horsemen! There are more than 20,000 people who carry sundries, and he can also stop the white canal that is being built and transfer 20,000 Qiang workers.
However, it will take time to gather these manpower, so it was Xiahou Yuan's 15,000 Chang'an Army that went out first.
"General Xiahou remember! It is very easy to break, and the general can command in the middle of the battle! Don't go to the front line and charge to kill thieves! Be sure to wait for Wang's army to return east and join the general! ”
The role of the logistics baggage troops this time is actually not big, because Hanzhong is Zhang Lu's territory, and it is basically an internal battle, so Xiahou Yuanjun directly brought ten days of dry food and went straight to Hanzhong with light equipment, but at the side of the long line, Wang Hou grabbed Xiahou Yuan's arm and kept nagging.
"Daxing Taiwan affairs should be worried, the general will be in his twenties with the prime minister, and he has experienced a hundred battles, and he still has this experience in battle! Yangping Guan handed over to a certain person, foolproof! ”
"Thousands of troops are on the move, and the general is waiting for the general with Liu Bei's thief's head at Yangping Pass!"
Saying that, full of impatience, he jerked the butt of the war horse, Xiahou Yuan actually ran out first unreasonably, looking at his arrogant appearance with his head held high, Wang Hou was even more worried!
"Daxingtai, General Xiahou has been on the battlefield for more than 20 years, and this time he is still guarding according to natural dangers, why is Daxingtai so noisy!"
To tell the truth, Wang Hou and Xiahou Yuan don't deal with each other, Sima Yi likes to see it very much, but since yesterday's decision to send troops, Wang Hou has followed Xiahou Yuan's buttocks and nagged, and Sima Yi, a political enemy, was really annoyed.
To tell the truth, how the battle of Xiahou Yuan's Dingjun was knocked down by Huang Zhong, the big man on the Bashu Road, Wang Hou also forgot, but who in later generations more than Dingjun Mountain Huang Zhong beheaded Xiahou eighty! However, Wang Hou couldn't explain this reason to Sima Yi, and he could only shake his head vaguely.
"Last month, my teacher Yu Ji sent a letter that Hanzhong was in order, and there was a risk that the star would fall! Recently, looking at General Xiahou's face, black gas lingers! That's why I'm worried! ”
"Ah sneeze~"
Yu Ji, who was sitting leisurely in the mountain gate and preaching and fooling people, sneezed out again, this time, he didn't even have the idea of pinching his fingers, and continued to preach loudly without caring about the concerns of his apprentices.
When he came back, Wang Hou spread his hands helplessly: "So I'm especially worried about General Xiahou!" ”
"Daxingtai don't worry too much, General Xiahou has tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the Ba Mansion, and there are more than 5,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry to help in the battle, even if the plains are opposed, Liu Xuande can't take much advantage, and there is also the assistance of Yangping Guan Tianwei and the Hanzhong Army, Zi Bu is strange and confused, Daxingtai still don't care too much!"
While persuading, Sima Yi still despised Wang Hou in his heart, at the level of suspicion, he could still be a big star in Guanzhong, and Wang Hou would marry Cao Cao's daughter! I knew that Lao Tzu was dressed handsomely, isn't this Guanzhong Daxingtai my Sima Zhongda?
didn't know that Sima Yi was still slandering himself in his heart, the army had already been done, and Wang Hou could only shrug helplessly.
"I hope so!"
…………
After about four days of assembly, Wang Hou's full cavalry troops were also assembled, a total of 16,000 cavalry, relying on the benefits of Guanxi, mules and horses were cheap and sufficient, followed by 20,000 heavy soldiers who played soy sauce were all on horseback, using war horses to support food and supplies.
It is also that the feudal knights can be treated like this, even if Wang Hou's mixed third brigade also has war horses, but the baggage soldiers do not, and the newly established Chang'an Legion has caught up with Wang Hou's tight period, and there are only more than 3,000 horses.
Therefore, Cao Zhang, the general of Chang'an, and the women's Zhonglang brought Sun Shangxiang with the staff officer Sima Deng Ai, who was very sad and was left behind by Wang Hou.
"You and the others carry heavy equipment, follow closely, you don't need to run down to argue, after you pack up, directly support General Xiahou!"
"Xiahou Yuan's yin and yang weirdness, what are you helping him do? Let him play slowly with Liu Bei in Yangping Pass! Our Guanzhong Legion is equipped with so many heavy equipment, and when I arrive, I will try it with my brother-in-law! "Read the book
"This is a military order!"
It's really a brother-in-law! Xiahou Yuan pouted Wang with a thick face, and Cao Zhang didn't like this old thing! Hearing it was really speechless, blowing his beard and glaring, Wang Hou grinned and shouted, and Cao Zhang was also frightened when he heard it, and hugged his fist sadly.
"Got it!"
"The last general understands!"
On the other end, the deputy general Pang De responded with a fist very simply, and his words made Wang Hou feel relieved, nodded heavily, and immediately buckled the helmet and shook the reins of the horse suddenly.
"Drive!"
With his light drink, crackling horses' hooves, more than 200 personal soldiers also followed his banner, quickly merged into the cavalry group, tens of thousands of horsemen, especially the long iron stream, rampage straight to the southwest of Hanzhong, trotting out, along the way with the flag to cover the sky, the armor shining, that overwhelming momentum is shocking.
But looking at the army that was gradually moving away, Cao Zhang became even more sour, and shouted angrily.
"I don't believe in my words, I will return my general Xu Yue and leave!"
"What are you still doing! Continue to prepare ordnance, supervise grain and grass, and after three days, our Guanzhong army will also send troops to attack! ”
"The last general obeys!"
It can be regarded as letting Cao Zhang get back some face, and with his drinking order, dozens of junior officers, including Adjutant General Pang De, are very face-saving and hurriedly return to Chang'an City.
But this kung fu, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind again, carrying a burden, full of anxiety, wearing a heroic light armor, but still childish Changle panted and chased after him.
"Don't go! Wait for me! ”
There is also a difficult brother, looking at this chick's angry appearance, Cao Zhang gloated and slapped him.
"Eldest nephew, don't chase it, that brother-in-law has already gone away! Look, it's still my uncle who loves you the most! Follow my uncle! ”
"Hey!"
turned over and dismounted, threw the burden in a hurry, and chopped the little man's boots a few times in a row, but listening to Cao Zhang's boasting here, Changle rolled his eyes very facelessly.
"Messing with you? When we get to the ground, the battle is over! 10,000 years of drag oil bottles! ”
"This kid, what kind of nonsense is telling the truth! Feed!!! ”
Seeing that Changle was leading the horse away again, General Cao, who had lost face again, couldn't help but twitch with sadness.
"This kid doesn't know how to respect his uncle at all, little Dengzi, are you right...... Deng Ai, where are you going! This heavy color light friend bastard!! ”
Before the battle was fought, General Cao was already angry and scolded his mother, but it attracted a nod of praise from the nearby sergeants who couldn't hear him shouting.
My general, loyal to the country!
