Chapter 328: Recuperation
Over there, Xu Chu was already engaged in a battle with the Xianbei Rangers.
How could some amateur cavalry who were good at riding horses be the opponents of the most elite cavalry of the Han Dynasty?
Under the battle, the Xianbei cavalry was crushed at the first touch.
Xu Chu held the Mo knife, and with a wave, the Xianbei cavalry severed their limbs and arms, and was even split in two.
As the bloodiest blade in Chinese history, his power is undoubtedly huge.
When Xu Chu was sharp, all fell off their horses and died, and the rest of the Xianbei cavalry were afraid.
Seeing that his leader's sword was not stained with blood, he fled with his subordinates, and the morale of the Xianbei cavalry was completely lost in an instant.
Dian Wei and Zhao Yun also led their troops to kill the Xianbei cavalry and retreated.
In less than a moment, more than half of the Xianbei cavalry had been killed and wounded, and the rest scattered and fled.
Liu Fan rode the ink unicorn and turned into a relentless pursuit of the Xianbei cavalry.
Mo Qilin is high-spirited, carrying Liu Fan can still take the biggest step.
Liu Fan took the lead, and the Xianbei cavalry was slowly caught up by him.
The Xianbei leader at the end turned his head and saw that Liu Fan was less than twenty steps away from him, so he hurriedly took out his bow and arrow, turned around and shot at Liu Fan.
But this kind of archery has no lethality at all, Liu Fan flicked his long sword and picked up the soft arrows.
Mo Qilin seemed to feel Liu Fan's thoughts, and rushed to the Xianbei leader with a breakthrough.
Twenty steps away, a breath of time will pass.
When the Xianbei leader wanted to shoot Liu Fan with a bow and arrow again, Liu Fan had already appeared behind the Xianbei leader.
Liu Fan raised his sword and fell, the Xianbei leader released the reins, covered his neck with both hands, and blood flowed down from his hands.
His eyes widened and he flipped straight off his horse.
The other Xianbei cavalry reacted and faced Liu Fan with swords one after another.
Liu Fan's swordsmanship was very sharp, and with the iron-sharpened Qingxuan Sword and erratic swordsmanship, he quickly killed the Xianbei cavalry who attacked him.
Mo Qilin carried Liu Fan into the crowd, instantly causing the speed of the Xianbei cavalry to drop several notches.
When Liu Fan was killing all sides in the array, the guards had already whipped up.
In just one round, the Hu cavalry was scattered and fled in disarray.
The strength of the Han army was beyond their imagination, and they could often dismount them with a single blow.
Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhao Ji and other generals also struggled to pursue the remnants.
Six hundred Xianbei cavalry, when they encounter Liu Fan, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and eight hundred people, they can be one as ten Liu Fan's personal guards.
The result can be imagined.
After some pursuit, only a dozen or so Xianbei cavalry escaped.
Xianbei scattered and fled, relying only on Liu Fan's horsepower, and he couldn't do it comprehensively.
After the battle, another 2,000 Han cavalry came to the west.
There was a big battle here, and Zhang Liao sent two cavalry troops to support.
Who wants the Xianbei cavalry to be vulnerable in the face of Liu Fan's personal guards.
Liu Fan didn't care whose subordinates this group of people belonged to.
The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth.
"In the future, you are willing to fight side by side with me. I'm here to stay, I won't restrain you anymore, you can gallop out, or you can rest in my stables. ”
Liu Fan stroked the head of the ink unicorn and said to it.
Although Mo Qilin couldn't understand Liu Fan's words, he could understand what Liu Fan meant.
It raised its hooves and happily stepped on the earth, expressing its willingness.
If you lose it, you will regret it, and if you get it again, you will cherish it even more. Liu Fan is for this, and Mo Qilin is also for this.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Liu Fan took the loot and returned with his army.
"Good horse!"
After meeting Zhang Liao's army, Jia Xu looked at Liu Fan's BMW and exclaimed.
I just felt that this horse was a little familiar. Jia Xu suddenly remembered that Liu Fan went to his thatched house last year and rode this horse, but he had never seen this horse again.
"I love horses, because I yearn for the grassland, I ran to the grassland to play for a year, and now I have returned."
Liu Fan laughed.
"Oh? This BMW has the same ambition as the general. Jia Xu said curiously.
He deduced what was going on from Liu Fan's words and the battle just now, so it was novel.
"Strategist, I think that Eastern Xianbei is very likely to move westward and move closer to Yanmen, what does Strategist think?"
Liu Fan changed the topic and asked Jia Xu.
"This is inevitable, Ke Zhi, Que Ju, and Murong, the three largest Xianbei tribes in central China, are all greatly damaged, and they are unable to organize cavalry to defend their territory. Fearing that the general would send troops against them, they migrated the tribe north closer to the desert. The territory vacated by the three departments is already in the pocket of the east, and I guess they are now dividing the interests. When the interests of Xianbei in the east are achieved, it will be the time to enter Yinshan. ”
Jia Xu affirmed Liu Fan's words and analyzed them comprehensively.
"Zhang Liao, now in addition to the stallions and excellent mares retained in the horse farm, how many war horses are there?" Liu Fan nodded frequently at Jia Xu's words, and then asked Zhang Liao.
"General Yu, and twenty-four thousand war horses."
Zhang Liao didn't think about it, so he replied to Liu Fan.
The cavalry in the army are all one man and two horses, and they change back and forth. This can not only allow soldiers to improve their combat effectiveness and ensure the survival rate, but also increase the mobility of the army and increase the army's expeditionary ability.
Riding two horses also tests the soldier's riding skills.
Liu Fan's army had nearly 60,000 cavalry alone. Occupy 120,000 war horses.
The infantry Xu Huang led 9,000, and Liu Pi led 2,000, occupying 11,000 war horses.
Gao Shun occupied two thousand horses there.
A group of fast horses is needed in the army.
There are also several war horses and a group of horses in each county.
Fu Xie and Cui Jun each led 5,000 soldiers and horses.
Liu Fan has not yet determined whether they are infantry or cavalry.
"Select 10,000 second-class war horses and send them to the Yin Pavilion. I have 14,000 horses left, and I will be of great use. Liu Fan instructed Zhang Liao.
The fastest way to get a war horse is to plunder. Relying on Liu Fan's horse farm to raise, it is estimated that Liu Fan will never see so many war horses in his life.
Fu Xie and Cui Jun, let's still lead the cavalry! Both of them are all-round talents in civil and military affairs, and if there is a chance, Liu Fan will recommend the two of them to be the Taishou of a county.
Now there are too few infantry under his command.
The remaining 14,000 war horses need to be used 12,000 to form the Modao Army.
Three thousand Mo sword troops, four horses each.
One for ride, one for transfer, one for weapons and armor, and one for servants.
Each servant serves a Modao soldier, and they don't need to fight, they only undress and do some chores for the Modao army.
"No!"
Zhang Liao commanded.
"The land between the rivers will be under the attack of the East and West Xianbei in the future, there are treacherous Southern Xiongnu in the south, and the remnants of the Xianbei in the central part of the north. It's not a good situation! ”
Liu Fan thought about the current situation.
"Haha!" Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled, "The general doesn't have to worry. When the general first came to Yanmen, he was worried about internal and external troubles, but in a county, there were only more than 10,000 soldiers. What is the situation now than before? ”
"Easy also. The general transferred General Huang Zhong, who was stationed in Yunzhong and Dingxiang, to Wuyao County, Dingxiang. In this way, 10,000 cavalry leaned west to the clouds and east to Yanmen. If the eastern Xianbei attacks Yanmen, there are few people, and the good will be destroyed; There were many people, so they dispatched Huang Zhong's department, Fu Xie's department, Zhang Jun's department, and Zhang Liao's department, but they refused. ”
Before Liu Fan could reply, Jia Xu asked and answered himself and explained to Liu Fan.
"General, our first strategic goal has been achieved. The situation between Hejian and Yanmen no longer allows for a major war between our troops. For now, the plan is to keep the enemy out of the country and recuperate. ”
Finally, Jia Xu's cautious Liu Fan said.
His words are always so inspiring.
