Chapter 291: Hu Mao's Conspiracy (I)

The eight hundred black cavalry of the Yunjing Brigade stopped after chasing the Hu Clan's vanguard army for a while, and if they continued to pursue, I am afraid that there would be an accident.

You must know that there are 1,000 cavalry in the Hu Clan's vanguard army, in the previous battle, this 1,000 cavalry did not suffer much trauma, if the 800 black cavalry and the 1,000 cavalry of the Hu vanguard army fought against each other, even if the 800 black cavalry could win, they would suffer heavy losses, and the black cavalry could not be equipped with firearms, bows and arrows and other long-range weapons, but only equipped with Yun's special cavalry knives.

In the Yunjia army sequence, the role of the cavalry unit is different from that of other cavalry units in the outside world.

Other cavalry units in the outside world are required to be able to fight independently, such as Wang Shuo's tiger cavalry, Wang Shuo led the tiger cavalry to charge into battle, killing a few in and out of the Guangming Army array, but since the tiger cavalry appeared on the battlefield, the number of casualties has exceeded 10,000, and the loss is not small, and the tiger cavalry has only more than 10,000 cavalry since its creation, and at the decisive battle with the Guangming Army, the loss of 3,000 tiger cavalry is now only more than 7,000 cavalry.

The cavalry units in the Yunjia army sequence do not need to fight independently, and their main role is to cooperate with the infantry army (including artillery) to fight, and after the infantry army defeats the enemy, the cavalry unit is responsible for pursuit.

In fact, this is also related to the weapons equipped by the cavalry troops, and now the firearms that the Yun family can manufacture are front-loading rifled guns, which cannot be used by the cavalry, but can be equipped with bows and arrows, but it takes a long time to train in cavalry archery, so in the end, the cavalry units in the Yunjia army sequence are only equipped with cavalry knives and cooperate with the infantry to fight.

In the process of returning, the black cavalry drove the Hu pioneer sergeants who were kneeling on the ground or lying on the ground and drove them in the direction of the Yunjing Brigade's position.

The soldiers who were driven away were mainly uninjured or slightly injured, and if they were seriously injured and could not even walk, although they could be cured with the medical conditions of this era, the cost was very high, and it was impossible to waste it on these captives.

An hour and a half later, the statistics of the Yunjing Brigade on the battlefield war ended, the Yunjing Brigade had two people killed and twenty-five wounded, four of them were seriously injured, and they were all out of danger after being rescued, but even if these four people were injured, they had to leave the Yunjia Army, and the people killed in the Yunjing Brigade and most of the injured were black cavalry.

The results of the battle of the Yunjing Brigade, the vanguard army of more than 10,000 people, finally found more than 4,100 corpses on the battlefield, captured more than 1,600 people, and more than 4,000 other people fled.

For others, 5,000 people can defeat 10,000 people, the enemy only escaped 40% of the troops, and their own losses are so weak that they don't count, it can be regarded as a big victory, but in Yunjing's eyes, this is just a small victory, and the Yunjing Brigade equipped with a large number of firearms is enough to confront or even defeat more than five times the enemy, this is only 10,000 people, it is worth being happy to be defeated, but this result is only a normal level compared to the Yunjia army, and it is unremarkable, if it loses, it is really strange.

Yunjing looked at the information sent by Tianmu and Xunfeng, behind the Hu Clan's vanguard army, the Hu clan transferred 10,000 troops from all over the country and transferred them to Zezhou, but now that the vanguard army has been disabled by him, even if the vanguard army and the follow-up 10,000 horses converge, do they still dare to come?

On the other side, Hu Ne quickly fled to the east with the remnants of the vanguard army, intending to escape from Huichuan County and return to Hu's sphere of influence.

There were less than 3,000 remnants of the vanguard army left around Hune, and the 1,000 cavalry troops were relatively intact and suffered little losses, and less than 2,000 of the other 3,000 or so pioneer sergeants who ran out followed Hune, and the other more than 1,000 people ran away.

This battle really scared Hu Ne, Hu Nei originally thought that the Yun army was very weak, but this battle allowed Hu Nee to really see the strength of the Yun army, the Yun army is very strong, very strong, 10,000 vanguard troops and 5,000 Yun army head-on battles were easily defeated, the damage of the Yun army is probably very small, enough to see the strength of the Yun army.

Hu Ne thought that he was looking at the position of the Yun Clan's army and found black smoke and fire, which should be the secret weapon of the Yun army, and then Hu Ne thought of a message from Zezhou that had been circulated by the Yun Clan after taking control of the entire Zezhou.

This news mainly said that the Yun army was equipped with a special weapon, which could smoke and fire, and could fire "hidden weapons" from a distance, and those who hit the "hidden weapons" were either dead or disabled.

When Hu Ne saw this news, he didn't care, but now that he thinks about it, isn't this special weapon the culprit for the defeat of his vanguard army?

Another thought popped up in Hu Ne's heart: Maybe the Yun clan was able to replace the Shangguan clan to control the entire Zezhou, and it was not at all that the Shangguan clan and the Guangming Army were competing for the benefit of the Yun clan's fishermen, but that the Yun clan seized control of Zezhou with its own strength.

Hu Ne was also taken aback by this idea in his heart, if the situation was really what Hu Ne himself guessed, then the situation in the world would change greatly, and Hu's situation would also fall into crisis because of this expedition to Zezhou.

After Hu Nie withdrew to his own sphere of influence with the remnants of the vanguard army, he saw that the Yun army did not pursue him, so he temporarily camped and rested, and at the same time sent someone to send a letter back, because the vanguard army was defeated, Hu Ne did not dare to send a letter to his father, but sent a letter to his eldest brother Hu Mao, although Hu Ne likes to "fight" with his eldest brother, but the relationship between the two brothers is still good, mainly Hu Mao maintains it in it.

At the same time, Hu Mao's 10,000 Central Route Army had also completed its assembly and marched rapidly to the west, and it was expected that it would take at most five days to join Hu Ne's vanguard army.

Two days later, Hu Mao received Hu Ne's letter, and after opening the letter, Hu Mao just looked at it a few times and stood up in surprise.

In the letter, Hu Nie told Hu Mao about the defeat of the vanguard army and some of his own speculations, and Hu Mao was shocked by the defeat of the vanguard army alone, not to mention some of Hu Nie's speculations later.

After reading Hu Ne's letter, Hu Mao couldn't sleep all night, the next day just after dawn, Hu Mao took his own personal guard to leave the middle route army first, Hu Mao wanted to face Hu Nie to understand the specific situation, although Hu Mao knew that his younger brother Hu Nie would not tell lies, but what was written in this letter was too frightening, Hu Mao had to face Hu Nie to certify.

On the afternoon of the 20th of April, Hu Mao came to Hu Ne's army, and the two brothers met.

Hu Mao's first sentence after seeing Hu Nie was to ask Hu Nie: "Second brother, is everything you wrote in your letter true?" ”
