Chapter 225: Yinguan County

"Can you really win?" Topa let out a questioning voice.

"The enemy is in the light, and I am in the dark. After approaching Yanmen, with lightning speed, he rushed into the pass and took the hussars. He is the sworn enemy of the great general, and he is also the sworn enemy of Xianbei. Except for him, you can laugh heartily. "Jia Xu induces step by step.

"Good. If you dare to let go of this wild words, you will definitely make him head in a different place. ”

Under the threat from Liu Fan and under the inducement of Jia Xu, Tuoba nodded and agreed to raid Liu Fan.

Over the years, the Han army and the Xianbei cavalry have been constantly rubbing on the border, and there are mutual victories and defeats, but Xianbei relies on good horses and strong soldiers, and there are more victories and fewer defeats.

Tuoba is not too afraid of the Han army, if according to Jia Xu, this battle will be captured.

"Liu Hussar led Yanmen Taishou, after arriving in Yanmen County, he must go to the Yin Pavilion, I waited in the Yin Pavilion, once Liu Hussar arrived at the Yin Pavilion, I immediately sent a horse to inform the adults, and formulated a precise marching route for the adults." Jia Xu's eyes narrowed and said quietly.

"The remaining half of the golden you won't just give me a piece of paper!" Tuoba thought very comprehensively, after he killed Liu Fan, the Han people repaid their debts and deployed troops to expel them, what should I do?

"My name is Jia Xu, the general's confidant and strategist, this is the general's order and letter, now they are handed over to the adult, after the matter is completed, if I don't give the adult gold, the adult will make this public to the world, and the general's life will not be guaranteed. Compared to this, the 1,500 catties of gold are nothing at all. Jia Xu took out the token and letter and handed it to Tuoba with a smile on his face.

Tuoba opened the letter, and there was a message on it, and it was also covered with the general's seal.

Seeing this, Tuoba was relieved. The Han people are the best at intrigue and intrigues, and he also thought that this was a trap, and now it seems that it cannot be a trap.

It is true that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and the same is true of Xianbei, where the tigers compete with each other and are incompatible with each other.

After Jia Xu came out of Tuoba Xianbei, he returned to the Yanmen Yin Pavilion.

When he passed by the mountain recess of Qiangyin County, he was thoughtful.

Qiangyin County is outside the Great Wall, there is no Great Wall as a line of defense, and most of the people in this county have moved to Guannai.

The terrain of the valley here is an excellent place for ambushes.

……

Three days later, Liu Fan's army came to Yuanping County, and the sentence was noted in Shannan.

The mighty army was stationed along the river, and according to the plan, it was to stay here for more than half a month.

Liu Fan sent people into Yuanping County to buy some iron, wood, and hemp and handed them over to Shentu Steel and other blacksmiths.

After nearly 20 days of exploration, Shen Tugang has fully comprehended the stirrup and saddle.

On the way, he tried to make a set and fasten it to his horse.

A soldier who was not very good at riding mounted his horse, and after a few temptations, ran at great speed, wielding a spear in both hands. The generals were all shocked.

With such a divine object, you can practice skilled riding skills in three months, and the difficulty of riding and archery is greatly reduced. For the hussars, it was like a tiger with wings.

While Shen Tugang was making stirrups and saddles, Liu Fan selected 500 cavalrymen.

Each of these men had been riding for more than a year, and had been in battle with the Yellow Turbans many times.

Liu Fan replaced these 500 soldiers with the strongest horses in the whole army.

In addition to the spears they held, Liu Fan equipped each of them with a ring-headed knife and hung it on their horses.

Liu Fan tried to familiarize them with the armor and riding equipment.

Armor rides, people armor also. Equipped, horse armor also. A heavily armed cavalryman.

This set of human armor weighs eighty pounds. It is equal to the weight of forty pounds in the Hereafter.

The armor is not subjected to force in one place, but to the whole body. Eighty pounds of armor was acceptable for a strong soldier.

Just like the clothes and shoes worn in winter, they weigh several pounds on the hand and are not suitable for it. Once you wear it on your body, you don't feel it at all.

The horse armor weighed one hundred and twenty pounds.

Count it down, plus the spear, the blade. The military burden of the war horse is more than 200 Han catties. Not available for non-strong horses.

With the assistance of the soldiers, in just ten days, 500 blacksmiths completed 3,700 sets of stirrups and saddles.

From generals to soldiers, they were equipped with stirrups and saddles.

The soldiers who are already superb in riding skills are the icing on the cake. Soldiers who are not good at riding suddenly have their riding skills improved by several grades.

Another five days later, on the plain south of Juzhu Mountain, five hundred cavalry covered with heavy armor formed a battle formation and charged back and forth under the leadership of Guan Yu.

The soldiers drilled in a muffled voice, black armor, and men and horses were as one. It was impossible to see the faces of those people at all, because they all wore veils on their faces, and only a pair of eyes appeared.

"Gongda, although the heavy armored cavalry has weaknesses, if it is used well, there is nothing more impactful than it." Liu Fan looked at Xun You, who was stunned beside him.

The biggest weakness of the heavy cavalry is that it is slower than ordinary war horses, and it is easy to be kited when fighting against light cavalry. When encountering light cavalry, you can only stop fighting, otherwise you will be dragged to death.

The heavy cavalry was also afraid of the infantry using various methods to ambush, such as trapping horse pits, cutting horse legs, tripping ropes, ravines, etc.

"It's really invincible. The general came up with stirrups and saddles, which complemented the heavy armor. This is a nightmare for the infantry, especially on the plains, and these five hundred heavy armor soldiers, if unexpected, can scatter a hundred thousand. Xun You said in shock.

Men and horses are heavily armoured, and even heavy crossbows can't be attacked. The infantry phalanx, a shock was crushed.

No wonder the hussar generals paid so much attention to this batch of armor.

Today, Xun Yu has opened his eyes, and the general has won all battles, not without reason.

If you encounter this kind of cavalry on the battlefield, no matter how brilliant your strategy is, it will fall short.

"This is my iron horse, and the place where the horse steps is Han soil." Liu Fan is full of ambition.

Dare to go to the moon for nine days, dare to take Mount Tai to surpass the North Sea.

In today's world, those who can calm the world can save no one else.

"Is the general satisfied?" Guan Yu dismounted and came to Liu Fan to worship.

Bright light armor, iron armor skirt, eagle prismatic helmet.

Under the refraction of the sun, Guan Yu's chest shone brightly, making him even more majestic and majestic.

"Good!" Liu Fan nodded and ordered Guan Yu: "Pull out the camp and bypass Juzhu Mountain, go to Yinguan City, and order the cavalry under your command to temporarily unload the armor of men and horses, and then put on the armor in wartime."

The men and horses are all heavily armoured, and even if the people are not tired, the horses are still tired. Liu Fan didn't want to see the scene of the war horse being exhausted to death.

"No!" Guan Yu took the order.

Three days later, the army arrived in Zhiyinguan County, Yanmen County.

The Yin Pavilion is located in the southernmost part of Yanmen County, and the city is built by water.

The source of the water comes from Mt. Ratau.

There is a huge tomb group seven miles away from the Yin Pavilion City. It is a famous Guangwu tomb group in history.

Yin Pavilion is close to the mountain, standing in the rear of Yanmen Pass, and it has been a place for the soldiers to guard and the soldiers to fight for in the past dynasties.

More than 10,000 troops appeared in front of the Yin Pavilion City, flying flags, alarming the entire Yin Pavilion City.

On the big silk, the word hussar is embroidered. The closer you get to the castle, the more clearly the people on the city walls can see.

Some are afraid, some are happy.
