364. The light cavalry was dispatched

As Zhu Wei persuaded Zhang Zhao, the matter of Liu Biao in this northern expedition basically set the tone.

Then Zhu Wei asked about some specific things, to see if the people here had any opinions or anything like that.

Pang Yan was as usual, there was nothing to say at all, ready to listen to the arrangement, but Teng Yuyan, who was sitting next to Pang Yan, raised some specific questions about the march and how the cavalry would take the boat and how to march.

After all, in terms of river ships and warships in these years, it is relatively easy to transport ordinary soldiers, but if it is to transport thousands of war horses, it is not an easy task.

After Teng Yuyan asked this, Wang Yuyan also gave some replies, this time Zhu Wei's cavalry mainly crossed the Yangtze River with the help of boats, and then the cavalry would find a way from Jiangxia County to Nanyang County.

It just so happened that Wang Yuyan would also make some strategic and tactical arrangements for all the cavalry under Zhu Wei's account.

In fact, this time it is not only the 5,000 cavalry assigned by Zhu Wei to the Xionglu battalion, but also the new 5,000 cavalry of Zhu Weizhong's military camp, which will also act together with the cavalry of the Xionglu battalion, so that almost 10,000 light cavalry will be dispatched.

According to the previous plan of Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan, after the cavalry of the two battalions merged this time, they would be mainly composed of Mu Lan and supplemented by Teng Yuyan, and they would be organized together to enter the territory of Nanyang County from Jiangxia to seek official roads, and make Jiangxia attack on Nanyang, and then transfer to Zhangling and Caiyang to attack the northern part of Xiangyang City.

The purpose of the cavalry dispatch was to attract Xiangyang City to send reinforcements to Nanyang County again and disperse the troops, and then to obstruct Wen Ping and Han Song, who were stationed in Xinye, and Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu, who were stationed in Wancheng, to lead troops to aid Xiangyang.

To be honest, it was helpless to let Mu Lan and Teng Yuyan lead the cavalry into battle, and there were really no other suitable generals on Zhu Wei's side who could lead the cavalry to fight.

Most of the generals on Zhu Wei's side were southern generals, and they were not very good at cavalry combat.

Even Gan Ning and Wei Yan may not be good at cavalry tactics, so the best person Zhu Wei can use is a military general who has systematically instilled knowledge, but in this way, it is Pang Yan and Mu Lan.

And Pang Yan is the main general of the Xionglu battalion, so it is naturally impossible to take the cavalry to carry out flank auxiliary things, not to mention sending Pang Yan out to fight alone, Zhu Wei is also worried that his intelligence will be designed by others with stratagems.

After all, there is a poisonous warrior Jia Xu in Nanyang County, and Han Song, who is assisted by Wenpin, is also a military division-level figure, if they use tricks, I am afraid that it will be very troublesome.

Therefore, letting Pang Yan lead the troops into battle alone really made Zhu Wei feel uneasy, so Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan calculated the generals who could be used to command the cavalry on Zhu Wei's side now.

In addition to Pang Yan and Mu Lan, the one who can also be selected is Tai Shi Ci from the north, but Tai Shi Ci is now the chief general of the Divine Arrow Battalion, so he can't be transferred out of the main army and formed into a temporary cavalry commander.

This is also inappropriate, as if he does not trust Tai Shici, who is sitting in Jiangxia, and wants to deprive him of his military power in Jiangxia.

Therefore, after thinking about it again, he could only let Mu Lan go, supplemented by a Teng Yuyan.

Mu Lan is a girl from the north, who is already good at fighting on horseback, and at the same time has the knowledge instilled in the game system of the Three Kingdoms, so it is no problem to command cavalry to fight.

As for Teng Yuyan, although she was born in the mountains, she was not good at riding horses or anything, but these times in Zhu Wei's Zhongjun camp and Pang Yan's Xionglu camp, she was basically responsible for the training and command of the cavalry, so based on her land finger attributes, she could be regarded as practicing some cavalry tactics.

In this way, only the two of them are the most suitable cavalry to lead Zhu Wei, plus their intelligence level is around 65 or 67, ordinary strategies may not be able to make them fall into the scheme, and they can rest assured that they can be alone.

Even if Zhu Wei was a little reluctant to play in the battle, worried that she would be injured, but for the sake of the overall situation, he naturally couldn't just hide it.

Fortunately, Zhu Wei's cavalry are all light cavalry, and they are also trained in Mongolian mangu tactics, not heavy cavalry fighting hard with others, as long as Mu Lan and Teng Yuyan are not blindly impulsive and can give full play to the agility of light cavalry, then they are unlikely to encounter too troublesome situations.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that Zhu Wei's cavalry has been officially dispatched on the battlefield, and Zhu Wei's cavalry unit has not been officially used on the battlefield since it was established and trained.

Before, with the help of cavalry speed, he raided the empty Linyuan County of Wuling County.

But this is not the real use of Zhu Wei's light cavalry, according to Zhu Wei's plan for his own light cavalry, it should be a special type of troops to be used on the field battlefield, and it is a strange soldier who uses bows and arrows to attack the enemy's military formation.

Therefore, in Zhu Wei's previous battles, the cavalry was useless.

But this attack on Jingbei was different, the cavalry entered the territory of Nanyang County, which accounted for one-third of the mountains, hills, and plains in Nanyang, and most of the places were suitable for cavalry to ride horses and run on horseback, so there was a place for cavalry.

As long as Mu Lan and Teng Yuyan can grasp the agile characteristics of Zhu Wei's light cavalry, even if because of the number of war horses, these cavalry cannot be ridden by one person or multi-horse, and there are not enough war horses that can be rotated and used to save horsepower, but it is enough to make the enemy feel a headache on the plains and hills with the help of horsepower and horse speed.

Light cavalry raid, when approaching the enemy's formation, suddenly change direction, and then when facing the enemy on the flank, use the bow and arrow to shoot the enemy's soldiers in formation, you can avoid the head-to-head confrontation with the enemy to produce the consumption of hard fighting, and you can also use the speed advantage of the cavalry again and again to move back and forth in front of the enemy formation, and use the bow and arrow to consume the enemy's strength little by little.

If the enemy army stops, the light cavalry will attack again, and continue to shoot the enemy soldiers with bows and arrows, so that the enemy can not chase and defend, and finally be defeated by the light cavalry with bows and arrows.

Zhu Wei still pinned a lot of hopes on the light cavalry he had trained with the tactics of the Mongol Mangu.

In fact, Zhu Wei's light cavalry was mainly trained by Mu Lan and Teng Yuyan, so now it is really the most suitable candidate to let Mu Lan and Teng Yuyan fight as the positive and negative generals and command the light cavalry.

To be honest, when Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan discussed strategy and tactics before, they told Mu Lan that they could lead the cavalry into battle this time, and Mu Lan was already very happy.

Mu Lan has always hoped to lead an army alone like Pang Yan and be able to lead the troops to charge, although she was also in charge of Zhu Wei's Chinese military camp before, but in fact, it was just a name, she had been bound by Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan's side, and she had already felt that there was no place for heroes.

Now it's finally time for her to wait for her chance......
