Chapter 114: The Pack Horse
In fact, Liu He was very clear about what Han Yi said, and he was also very impressed by Cao Cao's two attempts to save the day, but he didn't expect that those victories actually depended on this tiger and leopard horseman. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
And now, the strongest force in Cao's army is going all out to kill Cao Cao's lifelong enemy, Liu Bei.
Liu He, who once thought that five hundred cavalry could not succeed, suddenly had an ominous premonition, judging from the number of people, five hundred people were indeed not much. From another point of view, these 500 people should have been carefully selected from the invincible tiger and leopard cavalry, which can be described as the elite of the elite.
Liu He looked at the exhausted Liu Beijun behind him, and his expression became more and more solemn.
Can these people really stop the 500 tigers and leopards riding?
Liu He pondered for a moment and turned his head to look at Han Yi. He didn't give an order, and Han Yi didn't take the initiative to ask for help, but both of them knew in their hearts that there was no second choice at this time.
The two just looked at each other, and everything seemed to be in order.
Han Yi did not take all the heavy cavalry away, but ordered 500 people to go southwest.
"Boss, Han Yi only brought five hundred people, isn't it a little ......" Wei Xiao looked at the five hundred heavily armored cavalry in the distance, obviously a little worried.
Liu He smiled faintly, "Do you want to say that it's a bit too big?" ”
Wei Xiao hurriedly waved his hand, "That's not true, I know Brother Han's ability, I mean, since we still have rich troops in our hands, it is better to use the advantage in numbers to wipe out these Cao troops in one fell swoop, so as to eliminate future troubles." ”
"Aftermath?" Liu He frowned, "The real trouble is that when Han Yi fights with these Cao troops, he will kill another Cao army from other directions." ”
Wei Xiao suddenly realized, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's me who didn't think it through, and I blame Brother Han." ”
Liu He smiled and shook his head, "You're right, Han Yi didn't leave half of his troops, nor did he leave a whole number of troops, but he just took five hundred people away, and there was a bit of anger in it." ”
Liu He didn't ask about this number, although the heavy armored cavalry left around him made him feel much more down-to-earth, but he always thought that Han Yi did it intentionally.
In this situation, it is rare for Han Yi to have this kind of thought.
"Boss, do you want to order the whole army to speed up, in case, I mean in case these Cao troops break through Han Yi's blockade......" Wei Xiao said cautiously.
Liu He didn't hesitate, "Order the whole army, maintain speed, and move forward at a uniform speed!" ”
Wei Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then there was a helpless and relieved smile on his face.
"The whole army obeys the order and moves forward at a uniform speed!"
Wei Xiao shouted with all his strength, so that the whole army listened to it really, and those soldiers who were a little flustered because of the surprise attack of the Cao army were also much more relieved.
Wei Xiao looked at the subtle changes in the expressions on the faces of those soldiers, and couldn't help but praise Liu He.
"The leader is the leader, it's really high, this kind of crisis moment, turning the tide and stabilizing the morale of the army, it really makes the little one admire him to the ground."
Liu He turned his head and glanced at it with a blank face, and then he understood what Wei Xiao meant.
He didn't speak, but smiled at the five hundred heavily armored cavalry that was about to disappear from view.
Han Yi, Han Yi, I still want to be one-on-one at this time, isn't it a little too presumptuous?
However, the master likes it.
"Armor!" After running out of Sanli, Han Yi suddenly reined in and shouted.
The five hundred men behind him turned over and dismounted, took out their armor from the wooden boxes on the backs of their pack horses, and put them on each other in pairs.
"The big boss, is the pack horse tethered or not?" A young man asked with a big grin.
Han Yi glanced at the young man silently, his face gloomy.
The young man stuck out his tongue and said with a hippie smile: "It's called habitual." ”
Ever since the fire burned the ghost and saw that he was worried, Han Yi had not allowed anyone to call him the master anymore, and this young man seemed to be obedient and did not change for a while.
Han Yi ignored the young man, but directly ordered the whole army: "Tie the horse!" ”
"Okay!" The young man looked excited, stroking the mane on his pack horse's neck, "Little flea, little flea, you can't lose it now." ”
In the book, it is often said that one person, one sword and one horse, which is all about the chivalrous man who wanders the world.
The standard configuration of a regular cavalry army is one man and three horses.
The best of them, the most explosive, is used as a charge on the battlefield and almost as a mount on the march, so that the best horse can be well rested.
And all the tools and armor used in the march will be carried by the third horse, so it is called a pack horse.
Although the pack horse is not explosive, it has excellent endurance, so it can keep up with the speed of the march even with a lot of weight.
However, once a battle breaks out during the march, the pack horses are usually thrown halfway after the armor and weapons are removed. Due to the suddenness of the incident and the urgency of time, in most cases the pack horses that had been thrown away in a hurry could never be recovered.
Although it is often said that the old horses know their way, it is difficult for these pack horses to return to their owners because of the uncertainty of the location of the camp during the march.
The most emotional thing about the cavalry is the horse that is used as a charge, because as long as the cavalryman does not die in battle, then the horse will always accompany him.
Then there is another horse on the march, and as a rule, as long as the battle can be won, this horse will usually wait for its owner not far away.
And pack horses are the worst, almost no cavalry has too deep feelings for pack horses, not because these cavalry are hard-hearted, but because of the constant war, they dare not pour their feelings into a pack horse that will be abandoned at any time.
At this time, the situation of the five hundred heavily armored cavalry under Han Yi was a little different, all their pack horses were given to the people, and the pack horses used at this time were actually the horses they usually ride.
Han Yi did not taste defeat in the face of the official army when he was worried, and the war horses of the hundreds of heavily armored cavalry under his command were almost never lost, and they got along day and night for many years, making their feelings for their war horses far better than those of ordinary cavalry.
The young man's war horse named Little Flea got its name because he liked to jump when he was happy. Although the little flea is not a first-class war horse in terms of breed, in the eyes of young people, it has long been an inseparable partner.
Han Yi's order made the five hundred heavily armored cavalry, including the young man, suddenly smile.
Han Yi's order not only saved their horses, but more importantly, it told everyone one thing, they won the battle.
Because only the victorious side has the fate to find his horse after the battle.
