Chapter 85 Liu Bao rode into Taiyuan
The spring flowers are blooming, everything is recovering, and the soldiers' bodies are stretched, and they no longer have to curl up like a snail. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Yang Yanzhao took advantage of this short moment at the beginning of the year to organize the cavalry to start large-scale training, and the suburbs of Changzi City were obviously not suitable as a long-term training ground for cavalry, so after careful selection, a suitable place was selected as a training ground for cavalry near Sheep's Head Mountain in Guyuan County.
Niu Gao's joining, immediately won Yang Yanzhao's appreciation, the work was much easier, and the cavalry training was also on the fast track, and the six thousand cavalry under the leadership of the two of them suddenly separated and merged into one like a brown torrent, which was magnificent, galloping between the hillsides and grasslands.
In the distance, but seeing a team of cavalry like a tiger descending the mountain, running down the hillside, when the army marched halfway up the mountain, the two teams of cavalry separated, the leaders were Niu Gao, Yang Yanzhao and the two, suddenly Yang Yanzhao shouted, the two teams of cavalry bent their bows and arrows, swished, the arrow feathers crossed a beautiful parabola in the air, aggressive, and suddenly the middle ground instantly became a hedgehog.
In just a few months, it was impossible for the cavalry to ride on the back of a bumpy horse to bend the bow and arrows, and the arrows were hearted, so they took the simplest projectile method, like the Great Qin Ruishi, and the arrows thrown in the sky could easily tear the fragile armor of the soldiers under the action of gravitational acceleration.
In the distance is the lively training ground of the cavalry, and near is Zhang Quan taking the opportunity of patrolling the cavalry training to take Mulan, Luo Tong, and Zhou Cang to the spring.
Followed by a team of cavalry, named Yulin Army, taken from the talented Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing came from this army. The Yulin Army was founded in the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (104 BC), and the soldiers were all selected from the children of the Liangjia in the six counties in the northwest. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was afraid that the power of the lieutenant was too heavy, and he placed the feather forest and the gate in Guangluxun, and then the momentum of the two armies in the north and south began to be "the name of the Yulin Army" as the country's wings, such as the prosperity of the forest.
Luo Tong resigned as the chief general of the cavalry, Zhang Quan did not let Luo Tong succeed as deputy general due to a variety of factors, but referred to the Yulin Army when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty created the Yulin Army that has always belonged to Zhang Quan.
A total of 200 people in the Yulin Army were selected from the most elite soldiers in the cavalry, at that time, Luo Tong was ordered to select the Yulin Army, and the selection was all good seedlings, most of them were even grassroots backbone captains, captains, etc., almost paralyzed the newly formed cavalry, and the faces of the main and deputy generals were green, Yang Yanzhao was hindered by the face of not saying much, to the bull temper Niu Gao jumped out and fought with Luo Tong, Luo Tong took advantage of the horse to stabilize Niu Gao with a force value higher than Niu Gao 3 points, which reluctantly formed the Yulin Army. The Yulin Army has the best horses and armor in the whole army, and can be called the elite of the cavalry.
Luo Tong's purpose is to build the Yulin Army into a trump card in the cavalry, a fighter in the trump card, and he has poured a lot of effort into Luo Tong, even if the former compatriots in the distance gallop in the field, the soldiers of the Yulin Army do not squint, clench the long knife in their hands, and do not move.
Zhang Quan's side Hua Mulan rode a jujube red horse with the army, wearing wind armor, carrying a spear, and wearing a phoenix pearl crown drawn by Zhang Quan on her head.
Under Zhang Quan's patient training, the two became more and more intimate, touching their little hands, patting ****, and occasionally rubbing ****, only embarrassing the female general to be beautiful.
Taiyuan boundary rest, the boundary mountain belongs to the remaining veins of Taihang Mountain, Taihang Mountain extends to the party slightly gentle, when it reaches the Taiyuan realm, it suddenly stands up, steep and precipitous, the forest is dense, the flowing water is murmuring, the Fen River passes from the foot of the mountain, the water flow is abundant and turbulent.
The spring sun was shining, and suddenly there was an earth-shattering sound in the distance, and the birds that landed on the branches of the trees were scrambling, chirping, fluttering their wings and jumping up.
A large group of cavalry galloped to the sky, the momentum of black pressure shook the sky, gradually approaching, the leader of the horse held the reins of the horse in his hand, the war horse neighed with its hooves raised, stood upright, and the cavalry of the brigade behind him stopped at the moment, showing superb riding skills.
When the cavalry behind him gradually quieted down, Liu Bao raised his whip and pointed to the distance and asked, "Where is this?"
The commander of a thousand men behind him hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Little Lord, this place is Taiyuan Boundary Mountain", and pointed with his finger as he spoke, "Ahead is the Boundary Rest Pass."
Since Feng Ji came, Yu Fuluo let Liu Bao take full responsibility for the capture of Taiyuan, this time unlike the front of the few times just looted Taiyuan, but to take Taiyuan in full, so after more than ten days of precise planning, Liu Bao decided to raise 20,000 cavalry to raid Taiyuan, Liu Bao led 5,000 cavalry as the vanguard, Hu Chuquan led 15,000 follow.
The desolate and steep mountain wind blew Liu Bao's unkempt beard, looking into the distance and smiling slightly, "Departure Boundary Rest"!
The commander behind him was puzzled, and stepped forward and said, "Little prince, isn't this move a scare for the snake?"
Liu Bao smiled and said solemnly, "No need to say much, just go."
Jiexiu Pass, is the most convenient road to enter Taiyuan in the east of the river, on the left is the towering Yangtou Mountain, on the right is the rippling blue waves of Zhaoyuze and the Fen River surrounding, all the way the water system is developed, the mud swamp is everywhere. Therefore, the boundary Xiuguan is the key place of Taiyuan Hedong, there is a great tendency to have a husband when the pass is not open, and because the boundary is located in Taiyuan, Taiyuan has a natural geographical advantage to Hedong.
Before leaving, Liu Bao had discussed the path to enter Taiyuan, first, it was the most convenient to pass through the Jiexiu Pass, but Yu Fuluo had plundered Taiyuan many times, presumably Taiyuan had already stationed a large army in the Jiexiu Pass to defend it to the death. Second, when he joined the party, he went straight to Taiyuan with the Yi clan, but the party soldiers had enough food, and Zhang Quan was not an easy person. Third, it is to bypass the boundary and enter Taiyuan, and to escape to Xihe County in the west, there is a sheep intestine warehouse down, and the road is very far away.
In the end, Liu Bao decided to enter from the realm, so breaking through the realm is the top priority.
Taiyuan was plundered by the Huns in Hedong several times, and Wang Hui, the county guard of Taiyuan, was also quite a headache, and finally made great efforts to build Xiongguan in Jiexiu, and appointed a heavy army to garrison Jiexiu to block the invasion of the Xiongnu. Although the Xiongnu sometimes plundered from the north to Xihe County, it was not so convenient after all.
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves woke up the Taiyuan soldiers on duty at Jiexiu Pass, "Quick, there is a large group of Hun cavalry", the soldiers exclaimed, the Huns in Hedong have been raging all year round, and they have already left a deep imprint in the hearts of the soldiers, which are scars of hatred!
A military general heard the message of the guards and strode to the front of the pass, holding the waist knife in one hand, holding the wall buttress with the other, looking around, the dust was flying in the distance, a cavalry was hidden in it, and it was a Hun who looked closely.
With the speed of the cavalry, they came to the city pass in a blink of an eye, and the fast-moving dust and smoke drifted away after the cavalry stopped the formation, drowning the boundary rest pass in it.
The cavalry brigade stopped the formation, covered the forehead with one hand for the leader, carefully looked at the boundary rest pass, and said something to a person next to him, and then beat the horse to the place in front of the pass, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Listen to the people above, my little prince said, hurry up and surrender, otherwise the day of breaking the pass will be the day of your head."
"Phew, shameless things, there is a master, don't want to step across the boundary and rest half a step", every time the Huns loot, Taiyuan must be a deep hell, the family is ruined, the wife is scattered, the blood flows like a river, it is unbearable to see, the captain who guards the pass hates to eat his flesh and drink his blood, and directly scolds.
"I don't know whether to live or die, stubborn guy, wait and listen, the day you break the pass, you will know what it means to have no bones"! The Hun knights said a little bit in a menacing manner, and returned to their own camp after beating their horses.
"Bah, the realm of Xiuxiong Pass, how can you wait for a barbarian to break through"! The lieutenant scolded, turned his head sideways and ordered his own soldiers, "Quickly go to Jinyang to report the attack of Liu Bao, the little king of the Huns."
"Ruo", the pro-soldiers left in response.
