Chapter 69: Cavalry Duel
"In this way, Zhiyuan really doesn't want to return to Gaochang?"
"Governor, if you don't deliberately disobey your orders, it's really forced by the situation, and you have no choice but to forgive me. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Ignoring Lu Guang's cannibalistic eyes, Wei Shuo sighed softly, made a look of embarrassment, and continued to talk nonsense.
Hearing this, the muscles on Lu Guang's face couldn't help trembling, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was obviously angry in his heart.
Just when Wei Shuo thought that Lu Guang was going to turn his face, Lu Guang suddenly changed the topic and asked about his son Lu Fu.
"By the way, what's wrong with my son Lu Fu?"
"Please rest assured that the noble prince is intact and is now a guest in the city, and when the confrontation between you and me is over, Shuo Zidang will personally send him back."
"Hmph, that's pretty much it."
Knowing that his son was safe and sound, Lu Guang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, his gaze at Wei Shuo couldn't help but soften a little.
He thought for a moment and then said, "Naoyuan, you know, the old man has always valued you. ”
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have handed over the post of protector of the Western Regions to you at the beginning, as long as you disbanded your soldiers and horses to show your submission, I should not blame the past, how about it?"
Lu Guang felt that this was the biggest concession he could make, and if Wei Shuo knew what was wrong, he should immediately dismount and tie his hands.
It's a pity that Wei Shuo is not so easy to fool, and he has great ambitions, how can he easily give up his soldiers and horses?
"The governor of this discussion, it is difficult to obey his fate."
"Naoyuan, do you really want to meet the old man's sword soldiers?"
"Governor, if it weren't for Zhiyuan's insistence on raising troops to resist, he was really in the rivers and lakes, and he couldn't help himself."
"You know, once the war starts, there is no reason for you to be spared under the nest."
"Hahaha, how does Du Du know that the final loser must be down?"
"Humph! With the veteran weak brigade in your hands, how can you be the tens of thousands of elite opponents under your command? ”
"Hahaha, the Governor is naturally an elite, but Shuo's subordinates are not waste."
"In that case, let's see the real chapter under our hands."
"It's all slow and slow, and so-and-so has something to say"
Lu Guang, who was about to turn around and leave, grabbed the reins and asked in surprise, "What else does Zhiyuan have to say?" ”
"Dudu, at present, there are enemies on all sides in Hexi, if you and I fight here, it is difficult to guarantee that we will not make wedding clothes for others."
Hearing this, Lu Guang's heart moved, and Wei Shuo's words were on his heart.
And this is what he has always been most worried about, otherwise he would not have talked so much to Wei Shuo in front of the battle, and ordered the army to besiege it earlier.
"At present, the governor retreats from Western Qin, destroys Kangning, captures Peng Huang, and the army has won successive battles, which seems to be majestic, but in fact it is full of dangers."
"First of all, the army has been fighting for months without rest, and the generals are already exhausted."
"But Shuo is waiting for work, and sitting on the benefits of the city, once this battle starts, it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose in the end."
"Even if the capital governor has superior skills and is wiped out, after the war, how many elites of your army will be left?"
"At that time, how could Tuyuhun, Western Qin, Lu Shuihu and other forces not take advantage of the situation, and what will the governor do to deal with it at that time?"
"There is a strategy below, which can not only allow you and me to distinguish the superiority and inferiority, but also not make our main forces lose, I wonder if the governor is interested?"
"Let's hear it first."
As soon as Lu Guang's words came out, Wei Shuo knew that half of what he had planned had been done.
Then he laughed aloud and said angrily: "You and I each send an elite to fight in front of the battle, if the governor wins, Shuodang will withdraw from the Yumen Pass, and hand over Dunhuang and Jiuquan to the governor; On the contrary, if he wins by chance, he will also ask the governor to allow Shuo to temporarily stay in Hexi. ”
"However, please rest assured that even if our department wins by chance, Shuo will still serve the banner of the governor and will never pull the flag and stand on his own."
"In addition, in order to show the sincerity of submission, I am willing to send 50,000 stone of grain to your army after the war."
Wei Shuo's suggestion made Lu Guang very excited, no matter what the final result of the competition was, it seemed that he had nothing to lose.
As for raising a large army to fight to the death with the Gaochang army, he will not take this step unless he has to.
Thinking of the current emptiness of the government treasury in Liangzhou, the people were displaced, and they were anxiously waiting for the government to help, he immediately made up his mind.
"50,000 stone of grain is too little, at least 200,000 stone must be sent."
"No, 200,000 stones are too much, and I can't take them out anyway."
"In this way, for the sake of the friendship between the governor and the master for many years, Shuo will add another 30,000 stones, and a total of 80,000 stones, how about it?"
"Okay, it's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
……
The two have decided to return to their respective positions.
On this side, Wei Shuo personally led 3,000 iron cavalry to fight, and over there, Lu Guang took the opportunity to let the Fuqu Luo Qiu brothers lead 5,000 Lu Shui Hu Jing cavalry to meet the battle.
Although he knew that it was Lu Guang's plan to kill people with a knife, the frustrated Luo Qiu brothers did not dare to object, so they had to pick out 5,000 cavalry from their command to meet them.
"Kang Long, let the brothers get ready, I will completely break Lu Guang's courage in this battle."
Wei Shuo instructed Kang Long to prepare for the enemy, while squinting his eyes to observe the Lu Shuihu cavalry opposite.
The key to this battle was to simply destroy Lu Shuihu's cavalry, so that Lü Guang realized that the cost of plotting to defend Shuo was too great, so as to force him to accept peace talks.
"Brave and fearless warriors, the glory of the Lushuihu people cannot be defiled, raise your weapons and let the enemy scream, cry, and beg for mercy under the iron hooves!"
"Rush up and kill all the enemies, capture the enemy's horses, and cut off the enemy's head!"
"Kill all the enemies!" Countless Lu Shuihu cavalry raised their arms and shouted.
The entire battlefield was filled with the hysterical and fanatical shouts of the Lu Shuihu cavalry.
However, in stark contrast, the Gaochang cavalry on the opposite side has been standing silently and still.
But for some reason, the frustrated Meng Xun who was hiding in the rear always had an ominous premonition.
The Gaochang cavalry, who felt standing still, exuded a strong killing intent from the inside out.
"Boom, boom, boom, ......boom" was accompanied by a loud sound, and the two teams of cavalry attacked each other like a rolling torrent.
The distance between the enemy and us is getting closer and closer, and when the distance between the two armies is about 100 paces, I suddenly saw the Gaochang cavalry leaning back slightly, taking advantage of the momentum of the war horse sprint, and struggling to throw the javelin in their hands to the Lushuihu cavalry who came quickly.
The "Sigh ......" javelin was wrapped in a piercing sound of breaking the air, with a cold blade, like a dense raindrop, covering the enemy.
The Lu Shuihu cavalry was still in doubt, and suddenly a dark cloud appeared in front of him, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
With the experience accumulated on the battlefield for many years, Luo Qiu instinctively shouted: "Disperse, disperse!" ”
It's a pity that after all, it was a step too slow, and the three thousand javelins fell into the camp of the Lu Shuihu cavalry in an instant, and hundreds of people were immediately hit by the javelins, and for a time the battlefield was full of the miserable howls of the Lu Shuihu people.
When the Lu Junzhong who were watching the formation in the rear saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel chills from the bottom of their hearts.
Fortunately, the Lu Shuihu cavalry sent this time, if it were to be replaced by themselves, they would be caught off guard, and I am afraid that they would suffer heavy losses.
Frustrated Luo Qiu never thought that the Gaochang cavalry still had this hand, in the blink of an eye, the tribal cavalry under his command lost hundreds of people, how could it not make him heartache?
His eyes were red, and his eyes were staring at Wei Shuo, if his eyes could kill people, he was afraid that Wei Shuo would have been dismantled.
After two rounds of javelin blows and the two sides fired arrows at each other, it was finally time for the hand-to-hand encounter.
The frustrated Luo Qiu brothers, who had been holding their breath since the beginning of the war, finally became excited, they had always looked down on the Han cavalry, and as for the javelin just now, in their opinion, it was just a trick and a trick, and it was not on the table.
It's a pity that the Lu Shuihu people are destined to be disappointed, this cavalry is carefully trained by Wei Shuo, combined with the strategy and tactics of countless cavalry in later generations, and absorbs the traditional Liangzhou iron cavalry tactics, and the combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
Moreover, this cavalry was well armed, the most obvious of which was the introduction of repeaters.
Nowadays, the repeater is the standard equipment of the Gaochang cavalry, and basically every cavalry will be equipped with a repeater.
Just as the Lu Shuihu cavalry rushed up with swords and guns, they were greeted by a continuous burst of crossbow arrows.
In just about forty steps, the Gaochang cavalry was stunned to shoot five rounds of crossbow arrows, and the dense crossbow arrows caused huge damage to Lu Shuihu.
Some of the surviving Lushuihu cavalry scrambled to the flanks to try to escape from the battlefield, and they had lost the courage to confront the Gaochang cavalry.
And Lu Guang, who was watching the battle in the rear, couldn't believe it, but he didn't expect that the Lu Shuihu cavalry, who was brave and good at fighting, had no power to fight back in front of the Gaochang cavalry.
