The army is strictly governed, and orders and prohibitions are enforced.

Xu Huang attaches great importance to the quality of soldiers, and he believes that the strength of the army depends on the strength of individual soldiers.

The strength of the soldier's morale depends on the strength of the general.

If you are weak, you will be cowardly, and if you are strong, you will be brave.

Liu Fan often said the word "well-trained" to Xu Huang.

Xu Huang also sees "well-trained" as a top priority.

The proximity to the range of movement of the Bone Xianbei means that there will be a battle at any time.

Xu Huang didn't know the situation on Guan Yu's side, and he dismounted and lined up in order to better and steadily guard against Xianbei.

Going any further, it means attacking the Bone Tribe, and without Guan Yu's movements, Xu Huang would not have such a plan.

"General, this is a letter from General Fenwei to the general." A scout rode up to Xu Huang and said.

Xu Huangjun and Zhao Yun's camp were no more than fifty miles apart. Scouts from both sides have come into contact.

Guan Yu handed the letter to Xu Huang to Zhao Yun together, and asked Zhao Yun to find an opportunity to hand it over to Xu Chu.

Xu Huang opened the letter, read it carefully, and then he closed the letter quietly.

"The whole army is encamped, the A, B, C, and D departments are stationed in the outer village, and the remaining five departments are stationed in the inner village to form a defensive camp."

Xu Huang commanded his subordinates.

Although his face was expressionless, Xu Huang felt a little sorry in his heart. This time, the main battlefield is about to miss him again.

With the unprecedented infantry thrown into battle, and the lord teaching him battle formations, he studied all night.

Infantry, after dismounting, can also withstand the equivalent cavalry.

I thought that I could become the main force on this battlefield, but who knows that it is not.

Huang Zhong was much later than him to join the lord, but he had already surpassed him in military merits.

Shameful and courageous, Xu Huang said when he took refuge with Liu Fan: The ancients did not meet Mingjun, but now they are fortunate to meet him, and they should work for themselves.

This sentence made him extremely loyal to Liu Fan, and he also used it as a motivation to spur his actions.

Xu Huang was a native of the north, and in the area east of the river, when he was a teenager, he had an almost obsessive admiration for the majestic cavalry.

In the plains of a flat river, the cavalry is galloping, and any obstacle that stands in its way will be destroyed like a withered one.

When the synchronized troops engage the cavalry, there is no chance of victory. Not only Xu Huang thinks so, but maybe even the world thinks so.

In particular, stirrups and saddles were introduced, and the cavalry became stronger and more impactful.

With the help of stirrups and saddles, knights dominate the battlefield and are indispensable.

Cavalry is the king of the age of cold weapons, but it is not invincible.

There are many ways to overcome cavalry with foot, and many restraints often make cavalry fatal.

When Liu Fan and Xu Huang were discussing the art of war, Liu Fan repeatedly told Xu Huang about the respective advantages of stepping and riding.

Infantry versus cavalry, it is necessary to understand the advantages and disadvantages of cavalry.

Avoid its edge and prepare for a blow.

In the battle of the capture and company, the Xianbei cavalry charged the arranged infantry formation.

In that battle, the Xianbei cavalry was forced to die, and when they rushed to the shield wall and spear forest, they were all killed.

From this, it can be concluded that as long as the infantry formation is not dispersed, the armor and weapons are refined, and the formation can be changed with ease. The light cavalry charged into battle and died for life.

If the cavalry harasses the infantry with arrows at the weak points on the flanks, the infantry responds with arrows.

But there are no absolutes, and the battlefield is ever-changing.

Xu Huang could only accumulate experience and lay out a more complete array.

Gradually, Xu Huang became more and more satisfied with the infantry he trained, and he became more and more confident.

Because he became more and more proficient in the infantry phalanx, he also saw the power of the infantry.

The lord often said that if he would command an army of 100,000 and wave it like an arm, he would win all battles. Since ancient times, Sun Wu Baihan has been able to do it.

He could now wield the army of nine thousand, but that was his limit. More would be counterproductive.

It's not that Xu Huang can't command tens of thousands of soldiers. It's not all in control.

History can prove that even if there are millions of heroes, they will be destroyed under the inconspicuous soldiers and horses, thus creating a peerless commander.

When commanding thousands of troops, as casually as waving one's own arm, this is a qualified commander in an army.

The setting sun was scattered on the ground, and Xu Huang's tall figure stood in front of the army.

The reddish clear water flowed still beside the army, and more than ten miles away was the garrison of the Sugu tribe.

In the end, Xu Huang sighed and turned his back and left.

I am still far away from Zhou Yafu!

……

The night was cold, and occasionally a cloud obscured the moon, and the moon was unwilling to be lonely and struggled to jump out.

At this time, Guan Yu led 5,500 cavalry to the main road in Zhenling County.

There are several roads from Zhenling County to Dingxiang, but from Yuanhu Mountain to Qingshui, there is only this one. This is the only way for Xianbei in the clouds to support Xianbei in the clouds.

"After a day of travel, everyone is sleepy. Bury the pot and cook, and then set up camp again! ”

Guan Yu's army guarded this road, so that the soldiers could recuperate their spirits and wait for tomorrow's battle.

"Don't set up camp, the soldier's armor must not leave his body, the horse cannot get off the saddle, and the pillow will be waiting."

After Jia Xu finished speaking, he asked Guan Yu, "Does the general think that the Xianbei cavalry will not march at night?"

"Even night marching is the strength of our Han army, and I have never heard of a night march in Xianbei." Guan Yu replied to Jia Xu.

"No, Hu people are good at riding, and they can sleep on horses. In the danger of destruction, Yunzhong Xianbei is likely to be desperate to support the Xianbei of the bones. May I ask? If the general is a Xianbei reinforcement in the clouds, what should he do? Jia Xu analyzed to Guan Yu.

"The military advisor has a point! I ordered the scouts to go fifty miles forward, keeping an eye out for the wind and the grass. ”

Guan Yu looked cautious and nodded and said.

If he was the leader of the Xianbei tribe in the clouds, he would definitely abandon the gap between the two sides and unite with the outside world.

The soldiers are fast, and they may lose their efforts even if they are late, or even pay for their own lives.

Late at night, Zhao Yun led nearly 3,000 cavalry to rest by the Yellow River in Hetao.

In order to act in concealment, Zhao Yun ordered that bonfires should not be lit.

To the east of the vanguard army is Yuanhu Mountain, which stretches for several counties, and Zhao Yun stays here, and it is difficult for Xianbei rangers to find.

"Report ......" A cavalryman galloped quickly and told Zhao Yunyu: "Thirty miles to the east, a large number of Hu cavalry have been found."

Thirty miles away from Yuanhu Mountain. Isn't it that the Xianbei reinforcements marched towards the Bone Tribe overnight?

"It's not good, I didn't expect the Xianbei reinforcements to march at night, if General Fenwei and the right army division are not prepared, it will be dangerous."

Zhao Yun stood up from the ground violently, his face changed greatly.

He knew that Guan Yu was on the way from Zhenling County to Sugu Xianbei. The soldier must be tired after a long day's travel. If you set up camp and rest, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Order, the whole army will return the same way, to the south of Yuanhu Mountain, our army will go around to the rear of the Xianbei reinforcements, drag the Xianbei reinforcements, and send someone to inform General Fenwei."

Zhao Yun thought about it and ordered.

In this way, it is still a two-sided attack.
