The horses seized from the major tribes of Hutu allowed Zhang to temporarily convert two thousand infantry units into mounted infantry. In this way, the number of people who can be used to attack the royal court has increased to two thousand. If there is no such material foundation, the big action of the arrogant surprise attack on the Southern Xiongnu royal court will not have the possibility of execution at all!

Along the way, if it weren't for the people of Taiping Road in Bingzhou, who dredged up the relationship between the three small tribes along the way, I am afraid that the big move of this surprise attack would have been noticed by the Southern Huns as early as three days ago.

However, don't be intimidated by the strength of the Taiping Road in Bingzhou. In fact, since the more than 1,000 Bingzhou cavalry joined the surprise attack team of the Taixing Army, the people who were frightened were not arrogant.

In detail, although the number of cavalry in Bingzhou is only more than 1,000 people, they are not subordinate to each other. Among them, there are three big leaders alone, and there are no less than dozens of small leaders.

Although the cavalry and archery skills of these state cavalry are quite good. However, if you really want to fight, you don't need to be arrogant, just relying on the cavalry thousand people under the command of Lejin is enough to defeat them.

On the contrary, when those knights who were originally a little unruly and unruly, after seeing the military appearance and armament of the knights of the Taixing Army, they seemed to become a little shorter one by one. Many people in the state even thought that these elite knights with distinctive armor were actually counterfeited by the elite of the Han army!

In addition to overwhelming the knights of the state in terms of discipline and equipment of the army, what really convinced the knights of the state was the strong combat effectiveness displayed by the Taixing army when attacking the tribe of Tu people.

The combat effectiveness of the Tu people is also counted in the state. In the rebellion of the Southern Huns last year, Tu Geren joined forces with the Southern Huns to attack and kill the counterinsurgency Han army commanded by Zhang Yi, the assassin of Bingzhou, and Xing Ji, the Shou of Xihe County, at the beginning of this year.

Although then Tu everyone and the Southern Huns broke up because of the uneven distribution of spoils, which caused a firefight. But Shan Yu, the new appointment of the Southern Xiongnu, did not dare to openly turn his face with Tu everyone. With the strength of more than 1,000 knights in the state, it is not difficult to defeat the major tribes, but it is impossible to completely annihilate them.

It's just that in front of the assault cavalry of the Taixing Army, the unsuspecting Tu everyone is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, without the slightest power to fight back. When the knights of Bingzhou came to the tribe of Tu everyone and joined the Taixing army, they were all shocked to see the tall Jingguan piled up next to the camp!

A large tribe of Hu people, with nearly a thousand cavalry, disappeared silently......

Knowing this fact, the various small riots caused by it among the knights of the state are not mentioned for the time being. At least Zhang Qiang himself was a little proud of the submissive posture shown by Bingzhou Taiping Dao subsequently. Not to mention anything else, it is a clear proof that the three leaders of the knights of the state can obediently come to the arrogant camp to discuss matters after a call.

You must know that even in front of Guo Tai, the leader of the Taiping Road in Bingzhou, the performance of these three is not as deferential as it is now!

Among the three, the strongest is Yang Feng. This person is born in Xihe, and it is said that he has some distant kinship with the famous "Hongnong Yang family".

Yang Feng has always been quite proud of his ability to have a relationship with Hongnong Yang. Taking advantage of this relationship, Yang Feng single-handedly formed a small caravan, which traveled back and forth between Xihe and Hongnong, and made a lot of profits in the business of furs and horses. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to single-handedly pull up a large cavalry team.

Yang Feng had two hundred knights under his command, and if he did not compare with the cavalry of the Taixing Army, he could be regarded as well-trained. In particular, the ratio of knights to armor is close to forty percent, far exceeding the other two, and among the more than 1,000 cavalry in Bingzhou, Yang Fengjun can be regarded as wealthy.

Because his strength is not weak, Yang Feng's status in Baibo Valley is quite high. Although he also believes in Taipingdao, it can be said to be a semi-independent force within Bingzhou Taipingdao.

Another leader named Han Xianam, whose name is Shengfu, was originally a scholar from Yingchuan. However, similar to Zhang Jian, a famous man who was known as "looking at the door and surrendering to the family, breaking the family and being compatible", Han Xian was also unfortunately involved in the "disaster of the party" that year, and was wanted by the imperial court, so he had to go away and merge the state. This time, he never returned to his hometown.

After more than ten years of baptism of wind and frost on the border, the original wise scribe with a thin figure and a lupine scarf is gone. In his place is a sloppy knight with a keen eye and a decisive killing.

Although the number of knights under his command was the smallest, only about eighty people. However, as Mrs. Guo's most relied on confidant strategist, Han Xian has a wide range of contacts in Bingzhou. Most of the small leaders who only had twenty or thirty horsemen under their command expressed their willingness to take Han Xian's horse as the leader.

The last remaining Song Guo, whose name is Zhongyi, has more than 120 horses under his hands. Although his subordinates were dressed in tatters, and their weapons were also damaged. However, the fierce spirit revealed from the bones far exceeded the rest of the Bingzhou cavalry.

Speaking of which, this Song Guo is also a well-known figure in the Xihe generation. He came from a poor background, but he was light by nature. When he was young, Song Guo once used his good martial arts skills to entangle a group of country light warriors and rampant in the local counties, so that the entire county did not dare to provoke.

Later, a generation of celebrities Guo Tai and Guo Linzong heard about Song Guo's deeds and felt that this person's personality was not bad, so they personally came to the door to admonish Song Guo, knowing the benefits and harms to him, hoping that he would change his evil and return to the right.

What kind of person is Guo Linzong? Among the scholars in the entire state, there are more than thousands or thousands of scholars who admire him? As soon as his golden mouth opened, Song Guo was immediately moved to tears, and since then he has changed his mind and no longer does those things that cannot be put on the table.

With the admonition of the famous scholar Guo Zonglin, Song Guo's reputation in the state and county soared suddenly, and he soon got the local county guard and became a small official in the county.

Because of such a period of incense cause and effect, Song Guo has always respected Guo Linzong's relatives. Guo Linzong's nephew Guo Tai, who is also known as Guo Daxian, was able to live a good life in Bingzhou after the "Yellow Turban Rebellion" as the "Eight Great Disciples of Zhang Jiaozuo", and Song Guo's support in the Ming Land was indispensable.

However, although Song Guo and Guo Linzong have a good relationship, they are not from the Taiping Dao. Most of the more than 160 horsemen he gathered were county soldiers from neighboring counties. These county soldiers, all of them, in the chaotic place where Hu and Han live together, the martial arts that came out of the small killings are not comparable to those old county soldiers in Taiping counties in the mainland.

In addition to the three major leaders, the rest of the cavalry small groups also have their own origins. There are those who were born as horse thieves, there are border soldiers of the Han army, and there are even Hu Qi, who were born to slaughter various ethnic groups and Huns.

Due to the tradition of the Hu people and the prestige of the Han people, those cavalry who were born in the Hu people, after joining the army of the Han side, will not be soft on the enemies of the same clan, and will even be more ferocious. Therefore, although Zhang Qi secretly doubted the reliability of these Hu people in his heart, he accepted the Hu people to join under the explanation of others.

Of course, these knights of the merger may not be able to fight head-on, but they also have an extremely useful side. Without the guidance and response of these natives who were familiar with the terrain and roads of Bingzhou, it would be impossible for the scouts of the Taixing Army to lurk only fifty miles away from the Southern Xiongnu royal court.

"Tomorrow is the day of the decisive battle!"

Zhang Madness straightened his face, and said to his generals and the three leaders of the cavalry of the state with a serious face.

"What I mean is to take the Lejin Department as the vanguard and go straight to the royal tent of the royal court. Three heroes who can lead the merger of states, outflank from both wings, as wings. ”

After listening to this arrangement, Yang Feng, Han Xian, and Song Guo glanced at each other a few times, but still expressed different opinions.

"Captain Zhang, [we] are here to kill slaves with our brothers. I didn't come here just to see how others killed slaves......"

The one who said this was Song Guo, who had the most upright temper among the three. Although he admitted that this young captain of Taihang was indeed very good. However, the self-confidence in his own bravery made Song Guo have no timid thoughts no matter who he faced.

- I think back then, I talked to "Lin Zonggong"!

"Yes, although I am not talented, I am also willing to do my part for the big man!"

Although Yang Feng is just a local tyrant, because of his distant relationship with Hongnong Yang, he likes to fiddle with his deliberately contrived flavor when he speaks. Although he knew the difference in strength between his subordinates and the elite of the Taixing Army. But, at this moment, what should be said, he also has to say.

If the surprise attack is successful, the casualties of the vanguard troops may be greater. However, isn't there more opportunities to grab more loot? If you run to the two flanks to outflank and wait until the enemy is driven away, won't the best nobles' tents have already been occupied?

If you don't make any effort at this time, why should they give you an extra share of the spoils of war after victory?

ps: Yang Feng and Han Xian are both leaders of the Baibo Army. Song Guo is from "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty - The Fifty-eighth Biography of Guo Fu Xu Lie": Song Guo's character is Zhongyi, and Fufeng is also a person. is light and fierce, and has a grudge against others, which is a disease of the county. Lin Zong is the righteous prescription of training, and he is afraid of defeat. He repented, kowtowed and thanked him, and then changed his temper and self-defeat. Later, he heard of the fierce spirit, opened the public mansion, served the imperial history, and the history of the state assassination, and the place was able to be transformed.
