According to the plan, in a face battle with Cangguo, there is no need to dispatch cavalry on a formed scale.

However, this time Xiong Minne's pressure is too great, and he must win!

The size of the cavalry of the Chu State totaled more than 100,000.

Since it was the first time to train cavalry, all the cavalry equipment was cast by itself, so the cost of money was very huge, and the money spent on equipping 100,000 cavalry could form an elite division of one million people!

After making up her mind, Xiong Minne relaxed a lot.

With these 100,000 cavalry, he believed that as long as Cangguo did not dispatch the 200,000-scale Qilin Army, the Chu army could crush the 100,000 Qinglong Army.

Even if it is the 30,000 Qilin army that helps, the Chu army has the ability to fight.

At the worst, it was able to use 100,000 cavalry to contain the 30,000 Qilin army, and then the Chu army suppressed the 100,000 Qinglong army with a numerical advantage.

This time, it was still Wanxi who led the troops.

A defeat did not allow Wanxi, a general, to be impeached, or even fall out of favor.

On the contrary, in that night attack, Wanxi's on-the-spot command and stop-loss measures won the affirmation of the high-level, especially Xiong Minne, who was still very recognized in his heart.

This is due to the fact that Wan Xi once fought side by side with the soldiers of the Cang army, and it was precisely because he had enough understanding of the cavalry that he did not stupidly confront the cavalry, but ordered the soldiers to break through and reduce the casualties of the Chu army as much as possible.

The Chu army that marched north had a total of 800,000.

700,000 foot soldiers, plus 100,000 cavalry.

The two marched separately, with 700,000 foot soldiers advancing during the day, and the cavalry camping to rest, and sending troops to patrol to prevent detailed exploration.

In the evening, the cavalry was dispatched in batches.

This method was learned by Wan Xi from the original Qilin Legion, the army is vast, not to mention that the enemy can't find out how many cavalry there are, even the knights themselves, they don't necessarily know how many friendly troops there are.

"Your Majesty, this time, you really made a bloody investment."

Standing on the hill, looking at the army that is like a long dragon and cannot be seen at a glance, Wan Xi is full of emotion.

At the same time, there is also a trace of sorrow between the eyebrows.

"Why is the Great General like this?"

The deputy general on the side was a little puzzled, the last time everyone came with confidence, they were waiting to teach the Cang army a lesson, but unexpectedly, the 500,000 army stayed in the frontier and did nothing, and on a dark and windy night, they were attacked by the Cang army.

Fifty troops, the final statistics of more than 150,000 casualties, this number in the past 20 years of the war of the Chu State, can only be said to be mediocre, compared to the battle of the Jin Dynasty and the battle of the old enemy Wu State, it is not worth mentioning.

However, it's too aggrieved!

This time, His Majesty finally made up his mind again to take back a city, and did not hesitate to send a secret 100,000 cavalry for this purpose, which was an opportunity for these generals to be ashamed.

It stands to reason that the general should not be so sorrowful.

"You don't understand." Wan Xi shook his head and said: "Cangguo's army is too strong, if in the past few years, due to logistics and other factors, Cangguo has not been able to maintain a long-term war of several large armies, but now it is different, in the past six years, Cangguo has developed too fast, and has become a behemoth no less than my Great Chu, if the two countries go to war, it will inevitably be a lose-lose ending." ”

"Your Majesty......"

"With all due respect, Your Majesty's move is extremely unwise. At present, my Da Chu's opponent can be Yun Guo, Mang State, or even Ruan State, but the only one that cannot be regarded as an opponent is Cang State. ”

The lieutenant was silent on the side.

Although he is a military general, he is also from an aristocratic background, and he still understands some of the situation.

In a sense, the reason why the Chu State embarked on the road of confrontation with the Cang State was also because of those nobles.

It was the luxury of the aristocracy and the selfish interests of the big families that helped the rise of the Cangguo, and the war dividends obtained by the Chu State for so many years were transported to the Cangguo.

This made His Majesty the Emperor worried, and thus regarded Cangguo as an opponent.

"The general's worries, the last general can feel the same way, and the Chu State must not fall into such a quagmire." The adjutant general nodded, and then asked: "Now that the arrow is ready to be fired, can the general be sure of the next battle?" ”

"Fifty percent."

"Fifty percent? The general is not ......"

"Do you want to say that General Ben is raising the morale of others to destroy his own prestige?" Wan Xi interrupted him and said, "It's true that my Da Chu sent 100,000 cavalry, but in the eyes of this general, compared with the iron cavalry of the Cang army, these 100,000 cavalry are like the difference between a child who has just learned to walk and a veteran who has been in battle for a long time. As early as a month ago, the general had already guessed that His Majesty would send these highly-anticipated cavalry to fight in order to recover the decline, so he specially went to the cavalry training, whether it was in command or the quality of the knights, there was a big gap with the cavalry of Cangguo. ”

"There is a gap, and I have seen this when I attacked the camp." The adjutant nodded in agreement, and said, "Anyway, we still have 700,000 foot soldiers. ”

Wan Xi glanced at him and said, "Don't forget, Cangguo wants to increase troops, and it is much more convenient than us to have rail troop carriers to help." ”

The adjutant general was stunned for a moment and said, "What does the general mean is that Cangguo will increase troops?" Isn't that ......?"

Wan Xi sighed and said: "Otherwise, what do you think General Ben is worried about, once Cangguo increases its troops and does not say that there are variables, when the war expands, how to clean up the mess is the key." ”

After speaking, Wan Xi didn't care about the deputy general who was in deep thought, and went straight down the hill and arranged the general.

……

The relationship between the State of Chu and the State of Cang is irreconcilable!

Several major powers applauded.

The most typical is the Nguyen State, where the empress first issued an edict calling on the two countries to exercise restraint, take the well-being of the people as the benefit, and refrain from fighting.

Then, two envoys were sent to Cang and Chu respectively, conveying Nguyen's desire to remain neutral.

The meaning is obvious - you hit yours, just fight happily, fight recklessly, the more miserable the better, don't worry about me making it bad!

In addition, Mang Guo also made a similar move.

Almost at the same time, Yun Guo expressed his support for Cangguo, and at the same time sent several forces to infiltrate the eastern part of Chu State, actively helping those remnants of the country and planning the restoration of the country.

Cangguo is the time when the edict is issued to condemn the Chu State and warn: On the day when the army of the Chu State arrives at the border of the Shao State, the Cangguo declares war!

As soon as the news came out, it was as if all countries had been beaten with chicken blood.

The two countries have been at odds for a long time, and this is the first time that Cangguo has changed its previous relaxed attitude and responded strongly.

What does this mean?

On behalf of the Cangguo, it is about to declare war on the Chu State!

Declaring war is not fun.

Before, it was only to resist the invasion, and as long as the Chu State withdrew from the border, the Cang State would no longer pursue it.

But the declaration of war is different.

Once war is declared, it must be won or lost!

In October, the two countries, on both sides, a million troops were in the south of the Shao country.

After the Battle of the Jin Dynasty, the biggest battle between the countries was about to break out!
