Chapter 139: Xiping Assembles
"Pedal Pedal ~"
On the muddy ground after the winter rains, a huge group of ironclad cavalry galloped quickly across the road, trampled by the horses' hooves, and the flying earth formed a stream of mud rain that moved with the army.
This road is a branch road leading to Xiping Town, located in the southwest of Jumei County, although it is a branch road, it has also been rebuilt and repaired, otherwise I am afraid that the reason after the rain just now would not be able to pass through the cavalry group at all.
At the front of the cavalry formation, the two brothers He Batyun and He Batsheng, who were dressed in armor, rode forward, and their handsome and young faces were silent, a little more old and a little less heroic.
In the battle of Qilipo, the death of his father Heba Duba made the two brothers mature a lot overnight, and the potential of the famous generals was slowly stimulated.
In order to prevent the two brothers from blinding their eyes because of hatred, Sima Yu did not bring the two brothers with him in the subsequent revenge battle against Su Dingfang's army.
Instead, they were sent back to Qilin City, and the two brothers were responsible for reorganizing 4,000 armored cavalry to supplement the losses of the cavalry battalion at Qilipo.
After a long period of rushing production, Sima Yu's Seiko Workshop also hoarded more than 10,000 sets of armor and cavalry armor.
However, considering the actual needs of the suitable cavalry and the battlefield, 4,000 armored cavalry is enough to meet the needs of the Yangwu Army at this stage.
Together with the accompanying mercenary knights, the entire team totaled more than 10,000 people, like a torrent of black steel, moving forward among the winding mountain roads in Jumei County.
The cold wind of winter was howling, and in the tremor of the earth, the scene in front of the two brothers, He Batyun and He Batsheng, kept shifting, and after an hour's march, the army finally passed through Yaofeng Mountain in front of Xiping Town, and a flat and open plain appeared in front of them.
In the cold winter season, the plain is empty, full of withered bellflowers and branches, and in the distance, a huge camp has been erected in the middle of the plain thousands of meters away.
Towering barracks rose from the ground throughout the central area, and countless soldiers of the Yangwu Army in black armor were constantly shuttling back and forth in the camp, and according to the size of the camp, the number of troops gathered was at least 50,000 or more.
"The main camp has arrived, hurry! Let's go and meet Captain Huang! ”
Looking at the lively army camp in front of him, a trace of excitement flashed in He Batyun's eyes, and he turned his head to He Batsheng next to him.
This time, the lord secretly mobilized such a large army here, and it was obviously not a small plan, and this was the best opportunity for the two brothers to wash away their shame.
"Drive!"
Thundered~
With the sound of horses' hooves, tens of thousands of cavalry quickly rushed to the camp of the army.
"Lord, it's He Batyun and He Batsheng that have arrived!"
Sima Yu went outside the tent surrounded by the military advisor Xu Shu and a group of generals and others, and saw the black-armored cavalry coming in the distance, and Xu Shu said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
In the northwest of Yongzhou, with the surrender of Feng Shuangli, the entire Jinzhu County has been basically stabilized, plus the five counties and Laisu counties that were captured before, only the five counties under the command of Sun Kewang have been left with the red furnace and the two counties of Shuangshi.
And with a series of victories, Sima Yu's accumulation of troops in Laisu County and Jinzhu County also reached a very astonishing level.
In Laisu County, more than 120,000 troops from ten battalions under the command of Wang Yanzhang, Long Wei, Yue Xi, Hondo Zhongsheng, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, Liu Shijie, Xiang Chong, Li Mu and others gathered in the area of Danfengchang, counting the newly recruited city guards who were responsible for maintaining law and order in various places, the strength of the entire Laisu County was about 150,000.
In Jinzhu County, the elite of the three battalions under the command of Long Meng, Shi Dan, and Wang Yantong, plus the 40,000 troops under the command of Feng Shuangli, who had recently surrendered, also had more than 70,000 troops in the entire Jinzhu County.
Under the attack of these two powerful forces, Yue Zhongqi of Honglu County and the five major families of Shuangshi County, which are located in the central and western part of Yongzhou, did not dare to make the slightest move. Clear-eyed people in the entire Yongzhou can see that if there are no other changes, the trend of the Yangwu army dominating the entire Yongzhou is unstoppable, and it is only a matter of time before the two counties are subdued.
And just when everyone's attention was focused on the two major military clusters of the Yangwu Army, the Feiyu Cavalry and Xiao Cavalry Battalions that were originally staying in Laisu County, as well as the 30,000 Xianbei cavalry of the Hu Luguang Division in Jinzhu County, had been quietly transferred to Jumei County, the southernmost part of Yongzhou, in the illusion of frequent transfers of the army.
As for Laisu County and Jinzhu County, which had just been pacified, Sima Yu handed them over to Wang Meng and Feng Shuangli.
"Congratulations! The two brothers can get up from the blow so quickly, and they will definitely be able to achieve something in the future, and there will be two more good generals under the command of the lord! ”
Looking at the faces of the two brothers He Batyun and He Batsheng who were running from afar, Xu Shu's face showed undisguised appreciation, and he happily congratulated Sima Yu.
As a person in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, Xu Shu naturally had never heard of the two Heba brothers, but it did not hinder his judgment of their ability in the slightest.
When Sima Yu subdued Heba Duba, the two brothers showed their talent for fighting bravely and well, and after the painful defeat in the first battle of Qilipo, they gradually began to show their potential as future famous generals.
"The two of them are good generals, they only need a little polishing to become talents, the battle of Qilipo is not necessarily a good thing for them, but it is a pity that I have lost one of my generals!"
Sima Yu nodded when he heard this, he was familiar with the details of the two of them, and he naturally believed that the two brothers could become talents, but he still sighed faintly in his heart when he thought of He Baduba, who was lost in Qilipo.
He Ba Du Ba Ke is a rare cavalry general, and he is also the best candidate for Sima Yu to succeed Huang Jingtian in the future to take over the Xiao cavalry battalion.
When Hu Luguang on the side heard this, a fine light flashed in his originally silent eyes, and his eyes when he looked at the two Heba brothers also showed a little interest.
Hu Luguang joined the Yangwu army after the two brothers of Heba, he is not a good person to get along with by nature, most of the time he doesn't care much about the surrounding facts, although he has a high reputation in the Xianbei tribe, but he doesn't know how to make friends, seeing that the lord and the military advisor Xu Shu are so praised for this pair of young backs who are rarely famous in the Xianbei tribe, and their eyes naturally show a little closeness and interest.
"The lord doesn't have to be sad, it is the military position and honor of every general to die on the battlefield for the lord, and to be so concerned about the lord, I think the brothers of Hebatuba are content with their spirits in heaven!"
Seeing that Sima Yu was a little sad between his eyebrows, Huang Jingtian on the side couldn't help but explain.
As Heba Duba's boss and friend, Huang Jingtian and He Baduba have always had a good relationship, and they can be so valued by Sima Yu, which also makes Huang Jingtian's heart feel a little happy.
How could a lord who could care so much for his courtiers not be worthy of their allegiance!
"What Jing Tian said is reasonable, the deceased is gone, but life still needs to go on. Okay, now that they're here, the army has been assembled, Yuan Zhi, you are responsible for arranging their food and lodging, everyone will rest for the night today, and send troops tomorrow! ”
The look on Sima Yu's face narrowed, and he turned his head to look in the direction of Baiping Town in the southwest, and said excitedly.
"Whoa!"
Everyone under his command agreed loudly.
