After a short time, all the sergeants of the Upper Valley Barracks were concentrated in the school grounds. Fifteen hundred heavy horsemen and two thousand light horsemen lined up in the middle of the school field, and at a glance, it was quite imposing. Although the infantry did not have to go out this time, they were also neatly lined up, which was not only a regulation in the army, but also a strong momentum for the cavalry.

After everyone was concentrated, Li Guang raised his head and rode a horse, and slowly walked to the front of the sergeants of the whole battalion surrounded by his own soldiers.

Although this expedition was a cavalry campaign, with Qin Cheng, a hussar captain, in front, Li Guang had no reason not to participate, but as a general of the three armies, Li Guang had no reason not to participate. In Li Guang's opinion, Qin Cheng may have generals, but this does not mean that he can now be completely assured that Qin Cheng will lead the cavalry of the whole army to the battle.

Although Li Guang is in charge of Qiansang, it is also a good choice.

Li Guang accepted the attention of the officers and men of the whole army, and when he rode in front of the Chinese army, he did not have any extra words, waved his big hand in front of the air, shouted the order "go to battle", jumped out first, and all the three or four thousand cavalry behind him followed.

The sergeants rushed out of the barracks like a dragon, splashing countless dust.

Thousands of five heavy horses, two thousand light horses, fluttering flags, the sound of horses' hooves rolling, people like tigers, teams like long dragons, three thousand red robes and black armor, momentum like rainbows.

Qin Cheng rode his horse back and forth at the side of the team, his face was serious, and his eyes were sharp like a knife that had just been unsheathed.

In the entire Shanggu military camp, among the five or six thousand sergeants present, the one who paid the most attention to the three or four thousand cavalry in front of him was Qin Cheng.

Heavy riding, light riding, this is Qin Cheng's ** out.

Therefore, the three or four thousand cavalry in front of him can make Qin Cheng's heart uncalm the most, and make Qin Cheng's heart suddenly ripple.

It's a feeling of life and death.

From the beginning of the training of heavy cavalry and light cavalry, Qin Cheng faced the threat to his life from the opponent, from the very beginning, Qin Cheng knew that the days of the Shanggu cavalry would not be smooth sailing.

Although, this is just an ordinary border county of the huge Han Empire.

But Qin Cheng will definitely not be presumptuous.

Born in sorrow and died in peace, the cunning rabbit still has three holes, let alone a person?

In the past three months, it is impossible for Qin Cheng to be unprepared, otherwise, he would not be able to easily send his old foundation and all his hopes in this world to a battlefield full of dangers and seemingly death.

If you don't even have a chance of winning, then what do you have to fight?

At present, the armament of the heavy cavalry has not yet reached the standard that Qin Cheng wants, and the reason is very simple, the armor casting of the heavy cavalry is a very large expense. Even if there are only 1,500 people, it is not something that he can accomplish in just three months. Although before this, Liu Che had already given Li Guang the power to act cheaply.

But standing at Liu Che's height, just a Shanggu County, how much worry can he have? Now for Shanggu, who can say that Liu Che doesn't have a wait-and-see mentality?

Therefore, Liu Che's hope is still that the northern and southern armies in his central government, his Shanglin Yuan Yulin, not the local army of a border county in Shanggu.

Liu Che's previous strong support for the development of the cavalry in Shanggu had exceeded Qin Cheng's expectations, and he did praise this emperor through the ages. But in the future, what Liu Che can give Shanggu will no longer be direct armaments, such as the five hundred ring swords and horses last time, and more will be to give Li Guang some authority to toss by himself. In the end, how much Shanggu can achieve depends on Li Guang himself.

And if Shanggu wants to get more direct support from Liu Che, he must come up with the corresponding potential, so that Liu Che can see the sweetness and make Liu Che believe in Shanggu more.

Therefore, this is another reason for the Upper Valley cavalry to attack.

Qin Cheng, who knew the historical process, knew that he couldn't afford to wait, he had to shape an iron cavalry within a year or two, and the worst thing was that the sub-iron cavalry came out, so he had to obtain Liu Che's follow-up investment in armaments, and this had to be spoken with strength.

"What are your plans against the Huns this time?" Liu Mu patted his horse and followed Qin Cheng and asked.

The Shanggu cavalry did not succeed, and Liu Mu also wanted to know what Qin Cheng was thinking, so he dared to move out all this old foundation to face the complex situation of the Great Wall battlefield.

"Have you made any progress in your kung fu these days?" Qin Cheng did not answer Liu Mu's question directly, but asked a seemingly inconsequential question.

"Of course there is, why do you ask this?" Liu Mu was not modest or pretentious, and replied lightly, but he did not forget to continue to ask.

"Yes, that's it." Qin Cheng said, "When I tried to fight you last time, I saw that your swordsmanship is not bad, but you are not yet at the fire, otherwise I may not be able to win you, and even if I can win, it will not be easy." In the past three or four months, if you have worked hard to improve, your strength should have a qualitative leap. In this way, I am much more relieved. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Liu Mu frowned and said, "Could it be that you want me to be the vanguard and lead the army to rush and kill?" ”

Qin Cheng smiled slightly, looking very mysterious and ghostly, "I'm afraid it's not as simple as a pioneer, but it's a leader!" It's too early to say the details, I'll arrange them then. Of course, we are already weak in this battle, so every battle may be extremely dangerous, and everyone may die, but even so, I will not be vague about putting you in the forefront, you have to be mentally prepared. ”

"Don't worry, I won't embarrass you." Liu Mu Dao, paused, and added: "I won't embarrass the Han army!" ”

"So, let's wait and see!" Qin Cheng laughed, raised his horsewhip, and quickly ran towards the front of the team.

Liu Mu looked at Qin Cheng's back, stood still in place, half loud, and muttered, "Is it finally this time?" ”

No one knew what he was referring to.

"General, how many miles will the sentry horses go?" Qin Cheng rode to Li Guang's side and asked.

"Military regulations, five miles." Li Guang was a little puzzled, I don't know why Qin Cheng asked knowingly.

"General, in the opinion of his subordinates, this march is unusual, and the sentinels must expand their range. It would be extremely beneficial for our army to detect the Huns earlier, or to let the Huns detect us later, otherwise, our army will be at a disadvantage in the first confrontation. "Qincheng Road.

On the march, the Sentinel Cavalry was undoubtedly the first confrontation between the two sides. In a certain sense, the contest between the sentinels of the two sides directly affects the initiative and passivity of the armies of the two sides, and then affects the situation on the battlefield. It's just that according to common sense, there will not be much difference in the level of the sentinels of the two sides, and neither of them can easily achieve absolute superiority, so this part is actually ignored.

But when the Han army clashed with the Hun cavalry, it should not be thought of as such.

The Xiongnu sentinel cavalry explored a wide range of several times that of the Han army.

Li Guang may not be able to clear this due to the restrictions of the times, so Qin Cheng must remind him.

In general, in this march, Li Guang is still the commander, Qin Cheng is only the deputy marshal, and the command of the army's actions is still in Li Guang's hands.

"Qin Lang is reasonable, we can't neglect any detail this time." Li Guang nodded, and then shouted, "Summoning the sentry cavalry, the reconnaissance range will be expanded to twenty miles, and the number of sentry cavalry will be doubled!" ”

This time, Li Kang was not by Li Guang's side, and now Li Kang is already a righteous cavalry team, with his own deployment, so naturally he can't follow Li Guang as he did when he was Li Guang's personal soldier before.

Li Hu is still there.

Qin Cheng has not had a chance to compete with Li Hu so far.

It was Qin Cheng who made this request in order to get close to Li Hutao before, and now, Qin Cheng naturally doesn't need to have a relationship with Li Hutao anymore. Since the last time the two of them failed to compete in the school field, Qin Cheng was busy with affairs, so he didn't have time to mention it.

However, Qin Cheng still wanted to know how strong Li Hu was.

A mountain is higher than a mountain, and a mountain wants to know which mountain is high. I'm afraid this is the mentality shared by powerful martial artists.

It's a pity that Li Hu is Li Guang's personal soldier, otherwise, Qin Cheng would have wanted to arrange some very important tasks for Li Hu.

For example, leading the army to kill. With his ability, he will definitely be able to fight a bloody way for the rear army.

In this barracks, the art of fighting, if Qin Cheng can't defeat Li Hu, I'm afraid no one can be above Li Hu.

Thinking of this, Qin Cheng smiled at Li Hu and said, "Team Li, the day before yesterday, we said that we wanted to have a competition, but we didn't get our wish for various reasons. This time I happened to be on the battlefield, or I waited to see who was beheaded, so as to determine the victory? ”

Qin Cheng's voice was very loud, so that many sergeants behind him could hear it.

"General Qin is the general who leads the troops, and the subordinate is just a pro-soldier team, compared to this, I'm afraid it's not feasible!" Li Hu said with a smile, and his voice was not small, "But if General Qin is interested, the subordinate will never sweep General Qin's interest!" ”

"Okay, it's a deal!" Qin Cheng laughed twice.

"Wait!" Li Guang interjected, "If you want to compete in the number of beheadings, how can you forget the general?" Ben General is the chief general in the army, how can he not participate in this matter? Count Ben will be one! ”

"Okay, just follow the general!"
