Chapter Seventy-Nine: Xianbei Tiger General
"Drink! Drive! ”
"Stomp, stomp!"
"Boom!"
Outside Chengshui Town, shouts and horses' hooves shook the sky, and teams of armored knights galloped on the horse farm. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There were about a thousand cavalry in this group, and not only were all these horsemen covered in black iron armor, but the horses under their crotches were also wearing black horse armor, and the horse helmets made of steel were wheezing violently.
Equipped with iron horses, thousands of equipped iron horses.
The knights on the war horses, plus the armor on the people and horses, weigh hundreds of pounds in total, and these weights are all pressed on the war horses, which is a huge burden for them.
"Stop!"
"Woohoo!"
During the march of the cavalry, seeing that the physical strength of the war horse under the crotch was about to run out, the first member of the Xuankai general shouted, and ordered the cavalry behind him to stop urgently, and in the huge inertia, the cavalry team still galloped out into the rear of a hundred meters and stopped.
"Whew!"
After the war horse stopped, it kept pacing back and forth, and the Xuanjia warrior on the horseback continued to caress the horse's body with his hands.
"Drive!"
After pacifying the war horse and resting for a while, this Xuanjia military general patted the horse's belly and ran outside the racecourse.
Outside the racecourse, Sima Yu, dressed in military uniform, was standing outside the field to watch the drill of a thousand armored cavalry horses, accompanied by Huang Jingtian, the captain of the Xiaocai Battalion, Wu Song, Wu Song, and Wu Tugu.
"Pedal Pedal ~"
In the sound of horses' hooves, the figure of the Xuanjia military general is getting closer and closer, only to see that he is about 30 years old, with a long posture, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a tiger's head in his hand, a longbow on his back, and a heavy armored war horse.
"What a tiger general! Congratulations! ”
Looking at the majestic Xuanjia general, everyone's eyes lit up, and Huang Jingtian, the captain of the Xiaocai Cavalry on the side, congratulated Sima Yu with a happy face.
"Haha, Jingtian, in the future, Duba will be your military commander, and the deputy I chose for you is not bad!"
Sima Yu was also very satisfied with the performance of a thousand armored horses and Xuanjia generals, and when he heard this, he smiled and pointed to the Xuanjia generals who were galloping.
He Ba Duba, a native of the Xianbei tribe of Shenwu Jianshan during the original Northern and Southern Dynasties, once served as the commander of Huaishuo Town, and attacked the male of Longcheng County. was summoned to this world by Sima Yu with a junior barbarian order, and was finally swept under the horse by Zhao Yun with a shot under the six-foot post, and led his troops to surrender to Sima Yu.
He is also the most difficult one of the 23 Xianbei tribes mobilized by Sima Yu in the past month.
He Ba Duba himself is a military general who practices the peak of the Qi Realm, and there are 2,000 elite Xianbei Iron Cavalry under his command, although he was finally surrendered by Sima Yu, but it also caused a lot of damage to Shaoshan.
In the battle with Heba Duba's headquarters alone, the Shaoshan battalion suffered nearly 500 casualties, and the battle losses accounted for one-third of the total number of casualties in the Shanshan battalion in the process of encircling and suppressing the 23 Xianbei tribes.
However, these injuries were also worth it, Sima Yu not only gained a horse army commander who could ride and shoot well, but also gained more than 1,800 Xianbei horsemen, and more than 85% of the 1,000 armored horses in front of him were from the Heba Duba Division.
He Ba Duba was also naturally appointed by Sima Yu as the military Sima of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, as Huang Jingtian's deputy, and directly unified the armored cavalry formed by Qianxin.
"Lord!"
Coming to Sima Yu, He Baduba looked slightly excited and saluted Sima Yu, Huang Jingtian and others.
After successively suppressing 23 Xianbei tribes, Sima Yu has obtained the investment of 110,000 Xianbei people, recruited 10,000 young and strong elite men from the CCP, plus the previous 2,000 guard cavalry, and formed two battalions of Xiaocai and Feiyu, and 12,000 cavalry.
Among them, the 7,000 Xiao cavalry battalion is all heavy cavalry, led by Xiao cavalry captain Huang Jingtian, and He Ba Duba is his deputy and serves as the military Sima. He commanded 6,000 heavy cavalry in knightly armor and 1,000 armored cavalry.
The 5000 Feiyu battalion is all the assault cavalry, imitating the white horse under the command of Gongsun Zhan, who once broke through the prestige of the white horse Yicong to build, all the soldiers are dressed in leather armor, holding spears, hanging longbows on their backs, highlighting the ability to move and ride and shoot ability, led by Zhao Yun, the captain of Feiyu, Zhao Yun's son Zhao Tong is his deputy, and he is the military Sima.
After this month's accumulation, the two pure cavalry in the Yangwu army were all recruited in place, almost all of them were composed of Xianbei people who could ride and shoot, and after a short period of training, the two battalions had become armies, the Xiaocai battalion was stationed outside Chengshui Town, and the Feiyu battalion was following Zhao Yun to stay in Liuchigang and continue to conquer the newly mobilized Xianbei tribe.
Half a month ago, Zhong Yu had already returned to Qilin City with Ma Yunlu's mother and son, and Zhao Yun also officially received the letter of appointment from Shu State, and began to train the Feiyu Battalion for Sima Yu with peace of mind.
"Duba, how is the training?"
Looking at the heroic He Batduba, Sima Yu nodded with satisfaction and asked expectantly.
In the ancient frontal battlefield, the armored cavalry is the most devastating type of troops, at the beginning only 2000 armored cavalry has shown a hideous face in several wars, and now this thousand cavalry is composed of Xianbei people who are more good at horse warfare, and the power is bound to be more powerful.
Therefore, Sima Yu naturally hoped that these thousand armored horses would be able to exert their combat power as soon as possible.
"Back to the lord, after half a month of training, the three war horses have fully adapted to it and can fight at any time!"
On the war horse, Hebald jumped excitedly.
Although the number of armored cavalry was only 1,000, the number of horses equipped with it was more than 5,000.
Each knight was equipped with three horses to ride on the battlefield and two pack horses to carry armor equipment on the march.
At this time, Heba Duba's loyalty to Sima Yu reached the highest point.
Not only because he was recruited by Sima Yu using the primary barbarian order, and after surrendering, he would naturally obey Sima Yu, but also because he was able to gain Sima Yu's trust as soon as he surrendered, and led such an armored cavalry equipped with heavy armor.
This is a great temptation for any general.
"Haha, good!"
Looking at Heba Duba's confident expression, Sima Yu was overjoyed.
The soldiers recruited from the Xianbei tribe are all good at riding and shooting, and they are natural cavalry seedlings, and after the recruitment is completed, under the double training bonus effect of Sima Yu's use of the secret record of the military book, half a month is enough to form an army.
The only thing that is a little difficult is the adaptation of the war horses used by the 1,000 armored cavalry, and now that the training of the 1,000 armored cavalry has been completed, it means that the two battalions of cavalry have been formed and can come in handy.
"The generals in the edict army will discuss the matter in the account tomorrow!"
Thinking of the excitement, Sima Yu immediately ordered to the Jinyi Guard, who was in charge of the interrogation on the side.
Since quelling the rebellion and sweeping away the Northern Alliance army, the Yangwu Army has been resting for more than 2 months, and it's time to move!
"Drive!"
"Stomp, stomp!"
In the early morning of the second day, outside the south gate of Chengshui Town, several military knights in armor followed Wang Yantong, the captain of the Changfeng Battalion, and rushed to the city.
"What's the length, how many waves this is, it looks like something big is happening!"
"Yes, I'm afraid the Lord has made another big move!"
"Is there another war? It's a pity that we don't belong to the main force, and we can't go to the battlefield at all! ”
The city guards at the city gate watched the gallop away, and the majestic Wang Yantong and his pro-army talked enviously.
The city guards are recruited by each town itself, and the number of people in a city is only tens or hundreds, and it is the second echelon reserve in the Yangwu army.
Facing the bigwigs in the army like Wang Yantong, these city guards had no choice but to bow their heads obediently.
"Pedal Pedal ~"
Soon, Wang Yantong came to the town guard mansion of Chengshui Town, stepped over the threshold and walked towards the meeting hall.
Looking at it, Wang Yantong found that the entire inner hall was already full of generals in the army at this time, and next to the right hand of the main seat of the head Sima Yu, Xu Shu, the military advisor of the Yangwu Army, was already sitting there.
Below, the generals of the army led by Wang Yanzhang, Yu Dayou and others are lined up on the left and right.
"Big brother, do you know why the lord summoned us and others?"
After greeting the generals in the hall, Wang Yantong came to Wang Yanzhang and sat down and asked him in a low voice.
Since the completion of the expansion of the Changfeng Battalion, he has been busy training the army during this time, and many situations are not clear, and he doesn't understand what Sima Yu suddenly called them.
In the hall, many other battalion generals were also talking to each other in low voices, and it was obvious that most of them were in a daze like him.
"North!"
Wang Yanzhang, the captain of the Shaoshan Battalion, who was sitting on the left guard, turned his head and glanced at his brother when he heard this, then pointed to the north and said softly.
"North? Is the lord going to war? ”
Wang Yantong's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and if he realized, his face was slightly surprised and worried.
After this round of expansion, the strength of all battalions in the Yangwu Army has been greatly improved, and the mood of the generals in the army has gradually risen, waiting for Sima Yu to move troops again.
And in the north, Sun Kewang, who occupies the land of the five counties, has been fighting with the forces of Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, who rule the three counties, for several months, and they can't hold each other!
Just over a month ago, Li Dingguo and the others also sent an envoy to discuss the matter of forming an alliance with the Yangwu army and pinching Sun Kewang.
Unfortunately, out of consideration for expanding the army and stabilizing the territory, Sima Yu did not agree.
Now that the armies have completed their training, is the lord ready to move troops against them? Wang Yantong thought with surprise.
For these veteran generals in the army, isn't desperately training for the sake of making meritorious contributions on the battlefield?
"General Yangwu has arrived!"
Just when the generals in the hall were enthusiastic and discussing, there was a high-pitched singing harmony, and Sima Yu, who was in armor, appeared at the entrance of the hall and slowly walked to the main seat in the hall.
The chatter in the hall fell silent all at once, and they all looked at him with longing eyes.
