The "Battle of Hyun City" on October 21, the twentieth year of Wei Hongde, finally ended with the incredible victory of the Wei army. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In this battle, Han General Storm Kite and Jin Huang, two fierce generals at the level of the "Ten Heroes of the Northern Plains", were defeated by Ji Run, the son of Wei, with one enemy and two enemies.

In fact, King Su Zhao Hongrun made no contribution in this war, but the entire Su Wang army still agreed that this His Royal Highness King Su was the one who made the greatest contributions, especially Ma You, the general of the Shangshui Tour Horse Army.

With 5,000 cavalry and more than 13,000 Han cavalry, and only more than 100 cavalry killed by self-injury, it is undeniable that the heavy cavalry is the most dazzling hero in the "Battle of Hyun Castle".

Once upon a time, there may be the generals of the Shang Shui Army and the Yanling Army who were jealous of the special status of the Youma Heavy Cavalry, but after the battlefield battles, the status of the Youma Heavy Cavalry within the Suwang Army was rapidly raised, even if it was a hundred generals in the army, they also called the ordinary cavalry of the Youma Army "adults" from the bottom of their hearts, just because they were shocked by the domineering spirit of the Youma Cavalry on the battlefield.

After the end of the battle, when the Yanling soldiers were busy cleaning up the battlefield, the general Ma You, with the help of the Yanling soldiers, took off the heavy armor on his body and sat on the ground covered with the corpses of the Korean army, panting heavily.

At this time, he was full of regret in his heart.

Because once upon a time, when King Su Zhao Hongrun proposed the concept of "heavy riding" to him, Ma You was disapproving, and even a little reluctant.

Why?

Because the definition of Dangjun Youma, or tradition, is to imitate the Korean cavalry and form a light cavalry class - wandering cavalry, which is a strategic arm that relies on strategic means such as sneak attacks, harassment, grain interception, and sabotage. Objectively speaking, this is the most advantageous development of cavalry.

However, a certain His Royal Highness King Su wanted to build the ranger cavalry into a heavy cavalry with very large limitations, and Ma You was very unhappy about this.

It's just that Zhao Hongrun later told him that after the heavy cavalry "pits" through Korea, the ranger cavalry would be restored to the rangers, and his Royal Highness made great efforts to restore the name of "Traveling Horse" to the imperial court, which made Ma You reluctantly agree to the order to transform the ranger cavalry.

Ma You has always been not optimistic about the heavy cavalry, because the limitations of this tactical cavalry are too great, just like this time, if it weren't for the friendly general Sun Shuke who created an excellent opportunity for him to attack, he could have wiped out more than 13,000 Korean cavalry in one breath with 5,000 heavy cavalry? Don't even think about it!

But at the moment, in Ma You's view, none of this is important, no matter how many shortcomings and disadvantages there are in the heavy cavalry, it can't hide the domineering posture of this cavalry on the battlefield.

“……”

Ma You looked around.

I saw that nearby, the heavy cavalry generals under his command had also taken off their thick armor and sat quietly on the ground.

Suddenly, one of the rangers scoffed.

This seemed to be an infection, and after a moment, the rest of the nearby horses couldn't help but laugh after glancing at each other, including the horses themselves.

These thousand laughs converged into one sentence: It's so fucking enjoyable!

Yes, many of the Knights reminisced about the wonderful feeling of charging on the battlefield, the thrill of riding their mounts on a rampage across the battlefield without worrying about their own safety, and crushing any enemy army that dared to stand in their way.

This kind of exhilaration, intoxicating.

"Am I so stupid?!"

Secretly gave himself a slap, Ma You, who had taken a few breaths, stood up, changed his mount, and went straight to the Wei army's main camp where King Zhao Hongrun was located.

At this time, the generals of the Yanling Army, including Wu Ji, the general of the Shangshui Army who was responsible for defending the battlefield on the eastern flank of the Yanling Army, and the generals of the Su Wang's army had all gathered on the soil slope where the formation was located.

When he saw Ma You riding his horse back to his main camp from a distance, Chen Xie, the 3,000-strong general of the Shangshui Army, couldn't help but smile and said, "Your Highness, the great hero of this battle is here." ”

The generals turned around one after another and congratulated Ma You, who had turned over and dismounted and walked straight to this side.

Everyone knows that after this "Battle of Hyun City", the Wei cavalry of "Shangshui Traveling Horse" can be regarded as famous all over the world, because they defeated the first cavalry army in the Central Plains - the Korean cavalry.

"Rejoice and rejoice."

Facing the congratulations of his colleagues, Ma You smiled and hugged his fists in return.

He is really happy, because his lifelong wish is to restore the "Youma" and spread the prestige of the "Youma" all over the world, so as to pay tribute to the predecessors of the "Dangjun Youma" who were abandoned by the country and died unjustly.

But after seeing Zhao Hongrun, who was smiling and groaning, the joy in Ma You's heart was suddenly replaced by a stunned emotion, only to see him gritted his teeth, stepped forward and knocked on one knee, clenched his fists and said, "His Royal Highness King Su, Ma You...... Fulfill the mission! ”

After that, when Zhao Hongrun was about to stretch out his hand to help him up, he stubbornly said: "In the past, the last general was clumsy and did not know the power of heavy cavalry. ”

It turned out that after experiencing the domineering of the heavy riding today, Ma You was reluctant to give up the heavy riding formation, and the thought that the heavy riding formation would one day be restored to light riding, he felt as if a knife had dug a piece of flesh from his heart, which made his heart ache.

Zhao Hongrun was stunned, then laughed with relief, he reached out to help Ma You up, patted the latter's arm, and said humorously: "Welcome to join the 'Heavy Riding is the Romance of Men' club." ”

Although Ma You didn't know what the so-called "club" meant, he understood the first half of the sentence.

Yes, heavy cavalry, that is, the romance of men!

Looking at this scene, the generals of the Su Wang Army present were a little envious, after all, they also wanted to try a charge like a heavy horse.

Although the sword and shield soldiers in the two armies of the Shang Shui Army and the Yanling Army are not inferior to the cavalry armor of the Horse Army in terms of the thickness of the armor, the problem is that the former is heavy infantry and the latter is heavy cavalry, how can they be compared?

After congratulating each other, Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth to summarize the battle, he vigorously commended Sun Shuke and Ma You, and also commended the many generals who participated in the battle.

After that, Zhao Hongrun instructed the soldiers to collect the war horses on the battlefield, collect the intact war horses, and use them to drum up a light cavalry, as for the dead horse corpses, or the war horses with serious body injuries, they will be used as meat for the army.

After all, the military rations of Su Wangjun are almost exhausted, and it has become a major issue that Zhao Hongrun and the generals have to consider.

After completing the order, Zhao Hongrun went to Hyun City first.

At this time, the Hyun City was completely controlled by the army of Yan Mo, the deputy general of the Yanling Army, so when Zhao Hongrun came to Hyun City with some troops, Yan Mo was waiting at the West City Gate.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun praised Yan Mo again, after all, Yan Mo's opponent was Jin Huang, one of the top ten heroes in the Northern Plains, and this time Yan Mo was able to suppress the latter from beginning to end, so that the latter could not recapture the city, which is enough to prove that Yan Mo's talent is almost the same as Jin Di, and he is a very good general.

However, for Zhao Hongrun's praise, Yan Mo seemed very humble, after all, in the latter's opinion, he led the army to capture Hyun City this time, which is nothing to praise, at least in front of a certain His Royal Highness King Su who used hundreds of barrels of wooden barrels filled with water to defraud the western city wall of Hyun City, it is not worth mentioning at all.

If the western city wall has been conquered by his own side, and he still can't capture the Hyun City, then Yan Mo himself thinks that he should simply apologize for his crimes, and be embarrassed to live in the world.

However, Zhao Hongrun didn't see it that way, after all, he knew very well what kind of opponent the Han general Jin Di was, and remembered that when he was in Pijiao Pass, Jin Huang was still able to seize a small flaw in the command of the Shang Shui Army when the Shang Shui Army had already attacked the wall, and used a cavalry of more than 1,000 people to launch a suicidal attack to save the situation, which is enough to prove that this person is difficult.

And this time, even if Yan Mo captured Hyun City with the help of Zhao Hongrun's clever plan, it was enough to prove that Yan Mo's talent in command was more than one and a half stars better than Wu Ji.

This is a general who will be able to compete with the "Ten Giants of the Northern Plains" in the future.

After a few words of greeting, Zhao Hongrun entered the city.

It can be seen that the residents of Hyun City are extremely frightened that this city was captured by the Wei army, but what makes Zhao Hongrun feel fortunate is that the Han people who live here do not show a strong hatred for the Wei army like the residents of Tang County, although it is inevitable that there is some hostility, but compared with the residents of Tang County, this level of hostility is nothing at all.

The reason for this phenomenon is very simple: because the Northern First Army had burned, killed and looted in Tang County and other places, the local Han people hated the Wei army extremely much; However, the Han people here in Hyun City have not been harmed by the scum army of the Northern First Army, so in the eyes of the residents of the Wei Army, they are still just an "enemy army", not an indiscriminate killing of innocent butchers, thugs, and villains.

Seeing that the soldiers under Yan Mo's command did not disturb the people, Zhao Hongrun nodded with satisfaction, and after repeatedly telling him not to rob the county residents of the food and property, he took the generals to the city guard's mansion in the city.

During this period, Duan Pei, the leader of the Green Crows, came to return to his life - when Yan Mojun and Jin Huangjun were fighting in the Hyun City, the Green Crows had been ordered by Zhao Hongrun to wait for the opportunity to enter the city, and a team of 1,000 people under Yan Mo captured the granary in the city as soon as possible.

But unfortunately, according to Duan Pei, there is not much grain in the granary in the city, which is only a drop in the bucket compared to the Su Wang Army, which has 100,000 people.

It's no wonder that Jin Huang didn't bother to send someone to burn down the granary when he thought it was impossible to do anything and fled from the city in a hurry.

This is not surprising, think about it, and know that when the Korean army wantonly attacked Hedong County of Wei State, it had already transported grain to several important places where troops were dispatched, such as Tianmen Pass, Mengmen Pass, and so on.

And as a city in the hinterland of the Shangdang, how much grain can Hyun City have?

"In that case, there is no point in capturing this city." Nanmen Chi, the deputy general of the Shang Water Army, said with a frown.

“……”

Zhao Hongrun was silent.

Previously, he had said that "the food problem will not be considered for now", but today, after defeating the Storm Kite Army and the Jin Huang Army, Zhao Hongrun had to rethink the food issue.

Because winter is coming, if you can't get enough food, Su Wangjun will not be able to survive this cold winter.
