In addition to the heavy cavalry, Meng Huo really didn't understand what way the Yun Kingdom could defeat the Vermilion Bird Legion without losing the opportunity.

Meng Huo understood that Yun Hook, the emperor of Yun Kingdom, did not trust him, and the reason why he insisted on making him a general was just a helpless move.

If he wants to convince the Emperor of Yunguo to hand over 50,000 heavy cavalry to him, he must pay something.

After thinking about it again, he decided to take a gamble and sent his two sons to the imperial city as hostages.

Subsequently, several generals under his command also sent their relatives to the imperial city as hostages.

Heavy cavalry, attack!

Finally, the heavy cavalry of the Cloud Kingdom moved.

In terms of field combat capabilities, heavy cavalry is recognized by the whole world.

In the country of Yun, the soldiers had an extremely fanatical belief in the heavy cavalry.

At the beginning, Yun Guo relied on the advantage of heavy cavalry to defeat the Chu army twice, so all along, the monarchs and ministers of Yun State have also relied on heavy cavalry.

Therefore, the strategy agreed between Meng Huo and the imperial court was to attack!

In other words, gather 50,000 heavy cavalry and go head-to-head with the Suzaku Legion!

It's not that Yun Guo doesn't understand the general trend and doesn't want to wait for the rescue of Ruan Guo and other countries, but it's that the reputation of the Cangguo army is too loud.

The Vermilion Bird Legion is also good at attacking cities!

Therefore, if you blindly defend, sooner or later the Cloud Kingdom will be swallowed up by the Vermilion Bird Legion, and the army will be consumed little by little, which is really unnecessary.

Rather than this, it is better to take the initiative to attack, take advantage of the heavy cavalry's hard encounter, and defeat the Suzaku Legion first.

Not to mention a big victory, even if you can win a small victory, you can still greatly reduce the spirit of the Vermilion Bird Legion, proving that Yun Guo has the ability to defeat these 300,000 Vermilion Bird soldiers and has the ability to defend his own territory.

……

Meng Huo spread out the map and analyzed it carefully under the expectation of a bunch of generals.

There is no problem in arranging heavy cavalry, but the difficult thing is how to lure the Suzaku Legion into fighting with the heavy cavalry?

It must be known that the Vermilion Bird Legion is not a miscellaneous army of the Chu State, it has a complete military system, from war weapons to light cavalry, each of which is different from the armies of other countries.

In other words, it is the army of Cangguo, and it must know very well about the heavy cavalry, a military branch that came from Cangguo.

Meng Huo didn't think that the Vermilion Bird Legion would be stupid enough to go toe-to-toe with the heavy cavalry even though they knew that there were heavy cavalry.

That's too stupid, as long as a person with a brain can think of the impossible.

In fact, as early as when he led the troops to the border, he ordered the 50,000 heavy cavalry under his command to arrive at the front line from the rear, and learned that the Vermilion Bird Legion was approaching, and knew that the generalissimo of the Vermilion Bird Legion had already had the intention of sneaking into the rear of the Yun Kingdom, so he was ready to plan the plan and arrange the heavy cavalry in the rear, like a pocket, ready to besiege and kill one of the six generalissimos of the Yun Kingdom.

Meng Huo thought very well, when Han Tong led the army to attack the second line of defense, he sent several troops to cut off the return route of the Vermilion Bird Legion, and then released 50,000 heavy cavalry on the frontal battlefield, he believed that in this case, even if Han Tong personally led the 300,000 army, he would have to follow in the footsteps of the former Chu army and die tragically under the iron hooves of his 50,000 heavy cavalry.

But what he didn't expect was that when the two armies were about to meet, he found that it was not so simple.

The Vermilion Bird Legion is like an egg without gaps, and it is very orderly to advance and retreat, so that he has no idea where to start.

This completely disrupted the tactics that Meng Huo had originally formulated.

But fortunately, the Vermilion Bird Legion has not yet broken through the two lines of defense of the Cloud Kingdom, and he still has the opportunity to put these 50,000 heavy cavalry to use, which can save the situation for the Cloud Country, inflict heavy losses on the Vermilion Bird Legion, and capture the commander of this large army.

Then again, the speed of the march of the heavy cavalry was indeed a problem.

Don't pay attention to the fact that cavalry is also stained with the word cavalry, but the normal marching speed of this army is actually not faster than that of foot soldiers.

After all, every heavy cavalry is a set of armor, a set of horse armor, as well as long weapons, short weapons and long-distance weapons used in combat, plus dry food or something, the burden is not only a few hundred catties.

Therefore, the best configuration of a heavy cavalry is actually two war horses and one fast horse.

The first two, one main and one auxiliary, are used to reduce the burden of the war horse in peacetime, and directly charge on the main horse in wartime.

In addition, each heavy cavalry needs a servant, whose role is purely to help the heavy cavalry, help to put on armor, take care of the horses, and so on when the heavy cavalry is in battle.

But unfortunately, the background of Yun Guo is really too bad, and he barely managed to gather seventy or eighty thousand war horses, and it is difficult to achieve even one cavalry and two war horses, and the subordinates who assist the heavy cavalry can only follow on foot.

It is no exaggeration to say that these heavy cavalry of Yun Country are far from reaching the optimal configuration standard of 50,000 heavy cavalry.

And the cost can completely create a light cavalry of 200,000 people, plus at least 100,000 foot soldiers.

All in all, if it is considered the food of the war horse, these messy expenses are all calculated, and it is not a problem to create a strong team of hundreds of thousands.

It cannot be denied that the heavy cavalry is the king in the field, but it is also a very expensive army, and every maintenance will cost Yunguo several months of financial revenue.

If it weren't for the 10,000 heavy cavalry of Cangguo, the defeat of 700,000 Chu troops in the first battle, and the two examples of heavy cavalry of Yunguo severely inflicting heavy losses on the Chu army in the back, Yunguo would probably have wanted to give up a long time ago.

And this time, whether it is declaring war on Cangguo, or dealing with the 300,000 Vermilion Bird Army at the moment, Yunguo also regards these 50,000 heavy cavalry as the biggest trump card.

For example, Meng Huo, although he couldn't think of a good way to lure the Vermilion Bird Legion for the time being, this did not prevent him from imagining what kind of reaction those soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Legion would have when facing the 50,000 heavy cavalry of his Cloud Country.

In other words, it is ironic that one of the six legions of the Cangguo country, which dominates the world, lost to the heavy cavalry sold by his own country.

Shock?

Or is it frightened?

Or regret it?

A few days later, Meng Huo learned that the Vermilion Bird Legion had set up camp in the same place, and he was immediately suspicious.

How do you walk and walk, everything is fine, why don't you go?

At first, Meng Huo thought that it was the Vermilion Bird Legion that was temporarily repaired.

But for several days, I found that the soldiers of the Suzaku Legion did not make any movement.

Wrong!

As we all know, the major armies of Cangguo can be described as perfect for offensive play, and generally do not take a defensive position.

It is impossible for the Vermilion Bird Legion not to know that the front is the first line of defense of the Cloud Country, and it is really contrary to common sense to stand still at this time.

Could it be that you don't stop until you know that there are heavy cavalry?

No way!

Yun has heavy cavalry, this is a well-known thing in the world, before the Vermilion Bird Legion attacked Yun Guo, it must have thought that one day it would face the heavy cavalry of Yun State, and the reason why it attacked was because there was an opportunity to directly avoid a hard encounter.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Suzaku Legion to stand still for this reason.

This is not in line with the principle of the attacking side.

Moreover, after missing the opportunity for the chaos in the Cloud Country, it will be even more difficult for the Vermilion Bird Legion to attack the Cloud Country in the future.
