PS: Chapter 2 at night

"The rider is also serving the army, so he defeated the army, cut off the grain road, and hit the ben Kou. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

This is the summary of the function of the cavalry by the Qi people after the initial appearance of the Zhao cavalry, and the cavalry at that time was mainly archers, only as an auxiliary army.

However, more than ten years later, the Zhao clan played a new trick with the cavalry, and the assault cavalry appeared for the first time during the Song Civil War. They were the chisels on the battlefield, replacing the chariots, acting as a charge into battle, and repeatedly performing miraculous feats in all major wars. However, this did not mean that the cavalry of the Zhao clan had forgotten their old business, and after eliminating the Qin cavalry in Hexi, the post Cheng used the mobility of the cavalry to break it into pieces, and let the cavalry generals lead them to march south along the river in units of 200.

In the next few days, from Peng Ya to Dali, Zhao Qi ravaged the entire east bank of the river from north to south. Because Zhao rode hundreds at every turn, coming and going like the wind, the cities along the way did not dare to fight with them, even if there were those who couldn't help but go out, they were defeated by Zhao Cai and retreated and shot the last charge, and sent the head for nothing.

And it is worth noting that the Zhao cavalry attacked Lilu, just to feed the war and obtain supplies, they did not spend time to plunder the population and livestock, but only burned the village to create panic, and the main target of the attack was on the bridges and roads.

Their purpose was to cut off the grain routes of the Qin army and paralyze Hexi.

On the same day, several cities were in an emergency, countless bridges were burned, and although the roads were difficult to destroy, once there were grain carts and heavy baggage and took risks, they would definitely be attacked by Zhao cavalry halfway.

Eat the enemy for one minute, and be my twenty bells; One stone, when I have twenty stones! Zhao Qi used the grain and straw of the Qin people to supplement himself, looking at this posture, he was going to be unable to go to Hexi for a long time.

For a time, the entire east bank of Hexi Yushui showed a trend of erosion, and the grain trucks of the Qin State were all parked in Weinan, not daring to move forward half a step further. What's more, there was also a group of hundreds of Zhao cavalry who had the audacity to cross the water directly, attacked the north bank of Weishui, tried to shoot the grain boats on the water, and showed off their might at Zheng Yi on the opposite bank.

After all, he was old, and Pu Kaichun, the eldest son of the Qin State, was slightly unwell, so the Hedong war was handed over to the eldest son of Zuo Shu, Hu, to command, and he was in the rear of Zhengyi. After the battle of Peng Ya, the urgent documents flew from the various towns like snowflakes, followed by these Zhao horses, watching them on the shore to provoke Zhao Qi, Zipu thick eyebrows tightened.

"Let the Zhao family drive straight in, I'm afraid it's difficult to win this battle......"

With the catastrophe in Hedong last year, there was hardly a grain of grain in stock, and the Qin-Wei coalition army could only rely on plundering Han's grain and transporting grain from Yongzhou to maintain military supplies. Among them, Hexi was the only place for Qin's grain to be transported to the Hedong front, but now it was ravaged by Zhao Qi, not only the news of the cities and towns was interrupted, but the transportation of grain by land also became an enemy.

Fortunately, it can still be transported by boat, but in this way, the daily grain transportation will be sharply reduced by half, and within half a month, the tens of thousands of troops in Hedong will fall into the dilemma of lack of food.

The bad news is not only in Hexi and Hedong, but also outside the river.

After two months of showing weakness, Zhao Wuxian finally showed his fangs, and on the battlefield outside the river on the southern front, the thieves took advantage of Cheng Zhou to conquer several Zheng cities in a row, defeated the Zheng army on the bank of Luoshui, and continued to attack the city after slaughtering 5,000 Zheng prisoners. There were only more than 10,000 people left in the remnants of the Zheng army of Yousu Commander, and they were afraid and did not dare to fight again, Qin Wei was forced to steal the foot, so he could only lift the siege of Yucheng, 10,000 Qin troops withdrew west to Taolinsai, and 10,000 Wei troops took the Zheng people to retreat north from Fengling to Hedong.

"Maybe you can transfer this 10,000 Qin Divisions back to guard Hexi, at least to guard the Weishui coast and the Puban Ferry, and not let the Zhao family come and go freely......" Zipu made a decision with a wry smile, he already regretted fighting this battle a little, the strength of the Zhao family was far beyond his imagination.

Zipu was already vaguely aware of Zhao's strategy, and the defense of Hedong lured his own army in, and then sent surprise troops from the south and west to outflank him. However, the chief of the Qin State did not expect that on the back of Liangshan, there were thousands of generations of county cavalry ready to move, if he knew, he was afraid that he would not even be able to squeeze out a bitter smile.

……

At the northern foot of Liangshan, a large cavalry was divided into several teams, slowly moving south along the riverside road, and the cavalry generals were pointing at the river.

This area has not yet been a piece of loess in later generations, the scene of ravines and ravines, is still a dense forest, mulberry green ancient trees, the big river is surging, overlooking from here, the scenery is very spectacular.

"Shaoliang is an old place that Zhao Jun is familiar with, a few years ago, Shangqing forcibly crossed the Longmen and conquered Shaoliang with Shaoliang artillery, which made Shangjun Bai Zhai afraid and attached to him, and Tian Ben's partial division crossed the river from here."

Speaking of Tian Ben, Yu Xi couldn't help but laugh and scold again, this old brother who has repeatedly made meritorious contributions and repeatedly violated military regulations and was demoted, is still just a division commander...... And he and Mu Xia are either generals of an army, or command a county, like feudal officials, but although the position is low, Tian Benzhiyong can not deny it, I heard that he did a good job in the surprise attack on Xinjiang, and I hope to continue to be reused by Shangqing, and do not make any mistakes.

Recalling the situation of that day, many of the cavalry generals who grew up in Dai County began to boil with enthusiasm, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, they trained hard in Dai County for several years, in order to have a chance to show their style today, one of the young men held back their faces and clenched their fists and said: "At that time, Shangqing gave Shaoliang to the Wei clan and only took away the people, but this time we want to take Shaoliang down in one fell swoop, so that Hexi and Shangjun will be connected!" ”

Yu Xi's deputy, Tu He Ren Xinzhigou, said with a smile: "Otherwise, we won't fight Shaoliang City this time." ”

The cavalry generals who did not know the specific strategic direction were quite surprised, and it was only at this time that Yu Xi announced the direction of their main attack.

"After the army bypassed Liangshan, they walked along the big river and went straight to Longmen!"

……

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

One day in late March, the warning sounded at Longmen Ferry.

The steepness of the Dragon Gate is no less than that of the year, it can be described as the solidity of mountains and rivers, but it is the same as that time, the enemy is not from the opposite bank, but from the rear.

The Qin soldiers guarding the Longmen ferry were only hundreds, and they were directly shot by Zhao Cai's bow and arrows so that they couldn't raise their heads, and the low wall of the ferry couldn't withstand the impact of thousands of cavalry.

The cavalry swarmed in, killing all the Qin people inside, they set fire to all sides, houses, arrow towers, and even boats anchored by the river were all unified and burned, and smoke rose from the Longmen ferry, which could be seen as far as Shaoliang City.

Yu Xi ordered again: "The second and third sons retreated to the woods a few miles away and ambushed them, waiting for Shaoliang's reinforcements." ”

This is the trick they learned when they fought with the Hu people in Daijun, those Hu people are very cunning, often attack a settlement and burn it, waiting for the prey to come to support the bait, after seeing a few times, Zhao Qi learned to be obedient, and did the opposite, killing the Zahu south of Yinshan to flee for a hundred miles, now in the Daibei area, Lou Fu has not dared to be the enemy of the Zhao family, Lin Hu hid to the old forest in Henan to avoid it, only the Donghu tribe north of Yanshan is still strong, is the hidden danger in Yu Xi's heart.

Sure enough, an hour later, a thousand people from the direction of Shaoliang came to Longmen to check, but they were killed by Zhao Qi by the river, and more than half of them were killed and wounded. The rest of the people did not escape, these captives, Yu Xi directly let people escort back to Shangjun as slaves, in Daijun for a few years, he deeply understood a truth, talent is the most precious thing, the more slaves, farmers, the more they can establish cities in the vast Dai County and Shangjun, develop farmland, and create wealth.

Although he successfully ambushed Shaoliang reinforcements, Yu Xi still had little interest in Shaoliang City, which was high and deep. He ordered the new dog to lead a thousand soldiers to stay, and three hundred of them cavalry scouts were scattered, so that the enemy situation within a radius of 100 miles could be seen without leakage. The rest of the cavalry searched for food as a reserve supplement, and used Liangshan as a base to monitor Shaoliang's movements.

Yu Xi said to the new childish dog's ear: "When the enemy comes, I will retreat, and when the enemy retreats, I will attack, in short, we must paralyze the Longmen Ferry, and let the Qin people have another piece of water to go into the water!" ”

The new young dog and the riders were awe-inspiring, and responded in unison: "Only! ”

As for Yu Xi himself, he wanted to take the main force and continue south along the big river to a farther place.

Pusaka, the most important ferry on both sides of the river, is also the only place for the Qin people to advance and retreat to the east of the river.

He made an agreement with Youcheng that the two sides would meet on the other side of Pusaka after destroying the Hexi Road crossing.

They were going to implement Zhao Wuxian's ultimate strategy.

"Longmen and Pusaka are paralyzed, General Liuxia will control Fenglingdu again, and the main road from Hedong to Hexi will all be controlled by us, and the tens of thousands of troops of Qin and Wei in Hedong will become a turtle in an urn when they land!"
