50,000 Wei cavalry, this is not a big deal in the north, after all, the number of cavalry in South Korea is far above him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But south of the river, 50,000 cavalry was a powerful force enough to give people a headache.

Why?

Because there were no cavalry in the state of Chu.

Although it is said that there is more or less a cavalry under the command of open-minded people such as Shouling Jun Jingshe, Xiling Jun Qu Ping, Xinyang Jun Xiang Pei, and General Xiang Mo and Huancheng Jun Xiong Tuo, there is more or less such a cavalry, but this number is by no means too much, at best it is only a few hundred.

In addition, there is no cavalry in the main army of the dignified Chu State.

I remember that when Zhao Hongrun heard about this, he was also very surprised.

No matter what the reason is, the state of Chu has never had a cavalry establishment, and at this moment, the state of Chu has finally tasted the taste of lack of mobility.

In mid-September, Guling County, a feudal province under the rule of Guling Jun Xiongwu, was the first to be plundered by the Wei State of Sichuan's northern Sichuan archers and horse army.

Subsequently, Gu Liangwei and Wu Majiao, the guards of Shangshui County, organized 50,000 people and thousands of man-powered carts, took over the spoils of war from the archers and horse armies in northern Sichuan, and brought these treasures of Guling Jun Xiongwu, along with the Chu people under his rule, back to Shangshui County.

During this period, Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu pretended to organize several resistances, and then put on an attitude of being a huge enemy and incapable of the enemy, withdrew from Guling County, and defended his Pingyu County to the death.

Don't look at Xiong Hu, this guy has been denouncing the northern Sichuan archers and the horse army these days, maybe deep down in his heart, maybe he is still snickering.

After all, Xiong Hu is a staunch Xiong Tuo party, and he is a sworn enemy with Guling Jun Xiong Wu, do you really think he will really pull Guling Jun Xiong Wu?

Hey, it's good if Xiong Hu doesn't fall into the well.

As for Xiong Hu, who was "eyeing the tiger" on the side, Bosil and Youma simply didn't see it.

First, Xiong Hu's personal relationship with Shangshui County has been good recently, and Pingyu County under Xiong Hu's rule is the same as the feudal province under the rule of Xiong Tuo, the lord of Xuancheng, who assisted him, and there is nothing to rob.

As a result, Guling County, which was obviously guarded by 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers, was ransacked, while Pingyu County, which had only more than 10,000 soldiers, had nothing to do with it, and the wind was calm.

In late September, the two Wei cavalry of the Northern Sichuan Archers and the Horse Traveling Army continued to penetrate deep into the Chu State and attacked the second big city under the rule of Guling Jun Xiongwu, Kuxian.

During this period, the northern Sichuan archers under the command of Bosil once again performed their prancing horse long-range shooting stunt, that is, the knights under his command threw arrows at the distant city wall at the moment when the war horse jumped, thus greatly increasing the range.

At that time, the general Youma could see it clearly: I saw that the northern Sichuan archers deployed thousands of cavalry outside the city wall of Kuxian County, and ordered each of their hundred people to run in a circle, driving the war horses to run in circles, and when they ran to the nearest point from the city, those cavalrymen made the war horses under their crotches jump high, and at the same time quickly threw arrows towards Kuxian.

Don't look complicated to explain, but for those northern Sichuan cavalry, this tactic seems to be commonplace.

For a time, Youma only saw the northern Sichuan cavalry outside the four walls of Ku County, and the arrows they shot were endless, making the Chu defenders in the city miserable.

Why is it miserable?

You must know that the bow of the northern Sichuan cavalry has a longer range than the bow of Wei and Chu, not to mention that this time these cavalry also adopted the technique of long-range shooting on a prancing horse, which makes their range far exceed the counterattack distance of the crossbowmen on the wall of Kuxian County.

It's hard to imagine that the Kuxian crossbowmen who obviously have the height of the city wall and the increase in range in disguise, the arrows they shoot can't touch those northern Sichuan cavalry.

This stunt amazed the general's horse.

It is rumored that the cavalry of the Qian nationality has repeatedly invaded the cities of our Great Wei frontier in previous years, killing countless people, I thought it was just an exaggeration, but I didn't expect it...... This group of alien cavalry is really capable!

Thinking in his heart, Youma had a slight change in his opinion of the alien cavalry of Bosil, and he had to admit that the other party was indeed stronger than the cavalry of their Wei State, and even if it was the Dangshan Youma back then, it might not be able to guarantee a steady victory over this army.

Just when You Ma was thinking wildly, the clans in Kuxian County opened the city gate and surrendered.

Because the cavalry of northern Sichuan used fire arrows this time, if this cavalry continued to throw fire arrows endlessly outside the city, the entire Kuxian County would probably be destroyed, and in desperation, the clans and clans in Kuxian County chose to surrender.

After all, they had already gotten the news that Wei had a good attitude towards their Chu people, and they were even more innocent of the civilians.

And for these nobles, although most of the family's wealth cannot be saved, they can save their lives.

After all, the lord of Shangshui County, that is, Ji Run, the king of Wei State, is not a person who is as murderous as Tian Tan of Qi State.

As a result, in just two days, Kuxian was breached.

After Wu Majiao, the general of Shangshui County, also arrived in Ku County with thousands of carts, tens of thousands of people's transport teams, and thousands of Shangshui troops, he handed Ku County over to Wu Ma Jiao, and once again led the northern Sichuan cavalry and the Youma army to continue deep into the Chu State.

In this regard, Gu Liangwei and Wu Majiao can be described as loving and hating.

What I love is that the furnace of the cavalry and the horse army in northern Sichuan can be described as overwhelming, whether it is a big city like Guling and Kuxian, or a small city privately built by some big clans of the Chu State, they cannot stop their footsteps.

All they had to do was bring someone to carry their belongings after them.

Seeing those countless treasures being transported to the county treasury of Shangshui County one after another, Gu Liangwei and Wu Ma Jiao were overjoyed.

Although these things do not belong to them, you must know that His Royal Highness King Su is extremely generous in terms of rewarding money, such as Gu Liangwei and Wu Majiao, the wealth accumulated in the past two years is enough to build a mansion that is no less than the Su Wangfu in Shangshui County, but they didn't dare to build it.

In the two years they have been in Shangshui County of Wei State, they have gained more than they have gained in twenty years of hard work in Chu State, and it is no wonder that they are now loyal to Zhao Hongrun and Wei State.

And the hate is that the progress of the cavalry and the horse army in northern Sichuan is too fast, this group of cavalry with war horses on their feet, they don't take into account the carrying team of Gu Liangwei and Wu Majiao in the rear, damn it, they are both infantry, and they are pulling thousands of carts.

Each time, before they could drain the wealth of the previous city, the scouts of the Horse Army sent men to urge them, to the effect that the cavalry was going to continue to advance, and you two should hurry up and bring men to take over the city.

In this regard, Gu Liangwei and Wu Ma scolded in their hearts with hatred, because they traveled day and night, and even did not hesitate to pay extra remuneration to the people under their hands, telling them to work overtime, but they could not keep up with the speed of the cavalry and traveling horses in northern Sichuan to attack these cities.

But after every scolding, Gu Liangwei and Wu Majiao could only honestly go to take over the city, after all, even for the sake of those wealth, they could only "swallow their anger".

At the end of September, the cavalry of northern Sichuan and the horse army approached Tongqiu, but when they saw the banner of Pingyujun erected on the gate tower of the city, the two Wei cavalry immediately turned around and crossed Xiangshui (the upper section of the vortex river) to attack Xinyu (qi).

Because Tongqiu belongs to Xiangcheng, and Xiangcheng is now also the fiefdom of Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu, so in various senses, there is no value in attacking.

As a result, Xiong Hu, the Pingyu Jun who rushed to Tongqiu, added another meritorious feat: to make the Wei army retreat without a fight.

However, on the way to attack Xinyu by the Northern Sichuan Cavalry and the Youma Army, the two Wei cavalry finally encountered obstacles.

Because the southeast side of Xinyi, about thirty miles away, is Xinyang, that is, the fiefdom of Xinyang Jun Xiang Pei.

Therefore, during the attack on Xinyi, Boshel and Youma met the Xinyang army that came to support Xinyu.

It's not that Xinyang Jun Xiang Pei is treacherous, he only knows how to guard his own fiefdom.

The problem was that when Xiang Pei heard that a cavalry from the Wei State was attacking the fiefdom of Guling Jun Xiongwu and quickly sent reinforcements, Bosil and Youma had already conquered the entire Gulingyi and pushed the battle line to Xinyi.

Unfortunately, even though Xinyang Jun Xiang Pei sent reinforcements, he still couldn't save the fate of Xinyun being captured by Bosil and Youma.

Because Chen An, the general sent by Xinyang Jun Xiang Pei to reinforce Xinyi, stupidly chose to defend Xinyun at first, but was disgraced by the long-range shooting skills of the northern Sichuan cavalry.

And then, waiting for Chen An to muster up the courage and lead the Xinyang army under his command to take the initiative to attack, trying to fight a decisive battle with the Wei cavalry in the suburbs, as a result, tens of thousands of Xinyang troops were almost wiped out under the iron hooves of more than 50,000 Wei cavalry.

Even the general Chen An himself was killed in the chaos.

At this point, the 50,000 Xinyang troops sent out by Xinyang Jun Xiang Pei in order to support Xinyun can be said to be annihilated, and only a small group of remnants fled back to Xinyang desperately to bring this bad news to Xiang Pei.

Therefore, it is no wonder that Xinyang Jun Xiang Pei did not show up on the battlefield in Juyang County, but it was true that a war broke out on his side, and the Wei cavalry that appeared out of nowhere made him feel extremely threatened.

At the end of September and the beginning of October, the cavalry and the horse army of northern Sichuan controlled the area of Xinyi, but in Xinyang, they were desperately resisted by Xiang Pei, the king of Xinyang, so they were temporarily stationed in Xinyi.

During this period, Youma saw that the cavalry of northern Sichuan had stolen the limelight in the previous battles, and also hoped to regain the glory of Dangjun Youma, so he personally went into battle, using the tactics of Dangjun Youma, took the initiative to attack, controlled the suburbs of Xinyang County, and cut off the connection between Xinyang County and other regions.

In this way, the life of Xiang Mo, who led the army to be stationed in Fangzhong County, was even more difficult.

Because a while ago, Xinyang Jun Xiang Pei also sent troops to transport grain to him one after another, although the grain reserves of each transportation were not enough for Xiang Mo to launch a war against Hao County, but it was still possible for Xiang Mo's 500,000 troops to survive.

At present, the cavalry and horse army of northern Sichuan are walking in the area of Xinhe and Xinyang, completely cutting off the grain transportation route.

Throughout the Western Road battlefield, the life of the Chu army is getting more and more difficult. (To be continued.) )
