Chapter 291: Cavalry vs. Cavalry

When Bo Yao heard this, he immediately chuckled in his heart, but he was a little anxious, and immediately thought of a way, and hurriedly said: "The minister thinks that he should strike first!" Didn't Yang Zilu only take 6,000 people across the river? And now that nearly 20,000 people can be recruited in the area of Gusu City, why can't we strike first? ”

After Bo Yao said this, he immediately secretly complained, if he really succeeded in preemptively sending his husband, would Yang Zilu be willing to let me go? Say! If Yang Zilu throws out the evidence of my collaboratorship, even if I am not exterminated, I will have to die! I might as well have known that I might as well not say anything, the king will never kill me!

When the husband heard this, he jumped up excitedly regardless of his image, and laughed: "Wonderful! Dazai is really a brainchild of widows! ”

When Wang Sunluo heard this, he sneered in his heart: "Think tank? Bo Yao asked you to attack the Qi State and fight for hegemony in the Jin Kingdom, but what was the result? was copied by the Han barbarians. Bo Ya asked you to get back a quarter of the wealth that belonged to the nobility, and the result? The nobles took back a third, or even a half, which led to the current resentment of the state of Wu. Bo Yao asked you to attack the state of Chu? Twenty-thirds of the 30,000 people were lost. Now Bo Yao is encouraging you to fight, and I don't know what the situation will be.

But Wang Sunyu is not Wu Zixu after all, if it is Wu Zixu, he dares to speak out. Wang Sunluo can only dare to slander in his heart, this is probably because after Wu Guo lost Wu Zixu, it went into decline!

After the husband finished speaking, all the doctors knelt and sat still, and couldn't help but make trouble again, scolding: "What are you doing? Will you not move until the Han barbarian soldiers come to the city? Why don't you go down to the widow to recruit soldiers and check the situation of the arsenal and warehouse! ”

In the face of the moody husband, all the doctors of Wu Guo were a little scared, and hurriedly retreated.

………… Yang Zilu's march was fast, faster than Wang Sunlu had predicted for three days. It's just less than two and a half days, and Yang Zilu has already arrived at the city of Gusu. However, Yang Zilu did not immediately attack Gusu City, in fact, Yang Zilu led the cavalry, which was used to attack the city, which was simply a luxury. Yang Zilu's purpose was to annihilate the enemy's living forces in the field, so Yang Zilu camped twenty miles away from Gusu City, and he was recruiting soldiers for his husband.

Fucha immediately became anxious, and hurriedly sent someone to find Bo Ya and asked, "Dazai, how many countrymen have we recruited now?" ”

"There are already 8,000 people, plus the palace guards and county soldiers, a total of 13,000 people." Bo Yao said.

"But Yang Zilu is already here!" The husband said irritably.

Bo Ya's eyes rolled, and he suddenly thought of a way to get the best of both worlds. Maybe it can remedy the impact of his own suggestions on Yang Zilu. He said to his husband, "Thirteen thousand, the king, leave a thousand men to guard the city. The remaining 12,000 men will go into battle, and with this strength, we are all twice as many as the Han barbarians. The ministers don't believe it, we can't compare to them! ”

Although Fucha felt inappropriate, he didn't fight much with the Han army. Second, when Yang Zilu and Fucha were fighting, the number of cavalry was not large. Fucha didn't really realize the power of cavalry, especially when he thought he had formed a cavalry. He didn't know how much Takahashi saddles, stirrups, and horse iron palms played a role in the combat effectiveness of the cavalry. So the husband hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay, the widow doesn't believe it, the warriors of the Wu Kingdom, who are twice as large as the enemy, can't defeat the barbarians on the other side!" ”

"The king is wise!" Bo Ya immediately complimented.

The husband didn't know that he was calculated by Bo Yao, and after hearing Bo Yao's compliments, he laughed triumphantly and said: "It's not that the widow is wise, but Yang Zilu is too arrogant!" ”

The two of them discussed some more details, and Bo Ya left, and the husband was also bent on the beauty of the country, and he didn't keep much, and even brought a bit of 'rush' flavor, hoping that Bo Ya would leave quickly.

Bo Yao didn't care, he left the Guanwa Palace where his husband lived, looked up at the southern sky, and said secretly in his heart: Yang Zilu! Yang Zilu, I proposed the plan, but I helped you once. Rangfu is only bringing 12,000 people to battle, don't blame me if you lose!

It turned out that Bo Yao said this to his husband, but he was going to curry favor with both sides.

The poor man didn't know that he was being pitted again, and the next day he just indulged. The husband who wanted to pass was also triumphantly led 12,000 men and 200 soldiers out of the city in military vehicles to find the Han army to invite them to battle. But Yang Zilu is not a Jin army, and he is huddled in the camp and waits for his husband to come. Without waiting for Fucha to lead the army to the camp, Yang Zilu had already led 6,000 cavalry out of the camp and sent three phalanxes to wait for Fucha.

The Wu army was also divided into three phalanxes, each of which had about 4,000 people, but the Chinese army had more troop vehicles, 80 times, and the remaining 120 troop vehicles were evenly divided between the left and right armies.

The Chinese army of the Wu army was personally commanded by Fucha, with Ru Cao as the vanguard. The left army was led by Wang Sunluo, and the right army was Zhanru. And Bo Ya was on the grounds of preventing the Han barbarians from sneaking up, and the prince Hong who was sent by his husband to stay in Gusu City.

On the Han army, Yang Zilu naturally commanded the Chinese army, and Mang Gao and Jiao Shuyan guarded Yang Zilu on both sides. The commander of the left army will be tongue-in-chief, and the deputy general will be unsurplus. The commander of the right army will be Yang Tugou, and the deputy will be Euyang. The average number of the three armies was 2,000, and the only difference was Yang Zilu's Chinese army, which had 1,000 armored cavalry under his command.

When the distance between the two sides was still ** miles, Yang Zilu waved his hand, and the Chinese army immediately sounded the horn. The lieutenants of the left and right armies, Chou Wuyu and Zhenyang, both led about 500 light cavalry to jog out and attack.

"Yang Zilu, what is this for? How can you send troops at such a distance? Fucha frowned and asked Bodi, the doctor who was in charge of his Rongzuo. Bo Di is also the son of Bo Yao, but compared to his elder brother Bo Xizhen, he undoubtedly has a lot of ability.

Hearing the husband's question, Bo Di thought for a while, and said: "The minister thinks that the Han barbarians are trying to disrupt our formation by doing this, and if we send troops to chase after us, they can tear our formation apart, and they also think that our military chariots can't catch up, and they will definitely be tricked around by them." If we don't catch up, I'm afraid that the Han barbarians will take the opportunity to go around our rear! In this way, I am afraid that we will have the illusion that there are enemies on all sides. No matter what, the Han barbarians will have the advantage! ”

"Humph! Yang Zilu is too underestimated! Do you think that the widow will be unprepared? A flash of disdain flashed in Fucha's eyes, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered: "Order the cavalry to attack!" ”

"No!" The trumpeter immediately answered, and a long horn sounded.

About a thousand cavalry immediately rushed out from behind the military vehicle, and Mang Gao, who was standing beside Yang Zilu, was immediately dumbfounded, and said in shock: "Lord, I didn't expect that there were cavalry in the Han Kingdom!" How about this time? ”

Cavalry was able to dominate in the era of cold weapons, relying on his almost no nemesis, because his only nemesis was cavalry. Although the opponent's cavalry is not much, if it is used well, it can really defeat Yang Zilu, at least so that Yang Zilu can't help the current Wu army.

Yang Zilu also frowned, but he didn't react as much as Manggao. He picked up the monoculars hanging from his waist, the lenses were made of clear crystal. However, there were a lot of failures, and in the end, Yang Zilu used an almost shocking cost to make this telescope.

But now Yang Zilu feels that it is worth the money. From the telescope, Yang Zilu could clearly see the so-called cavalry of the Wu army. Yang Zilu's originally tense heart was immediately sent down. Yang Zilu laughed and said, "Cavalry? What kind of cavalry is this? It's just an infantry on horseback! ”

Not to mention, Yang Zilu's description is really right, the cavalry of Wu State uses fur as a saddle, and the cavalry sits on horseback, not daring to be too fast, because if it is too fast, they will easily fall off the horse. The weapons in his hands were even more rudimentary to reassure Yang Zilu, probably because of the balance of the surname, there were not too many cavalry in Wu equipped with shields, and only some officers prepared relatively light cowhide small round shields.

And the ordinary soldier is basically prepared to be dressed in cloth, with a bronze short sword, a bow, and two pots of arrows in his hand. And how do they shoot arrows? As soon as they pulled the reins, they took advantage of the horse's front legs to open the air, or to stop, and fired their bows from the horse's head. If you open the bow from side to side, it is likely that they will be dropped off the sleek horse. Not to mention a bow from behind.

After the shock just now, the Han army immediately realized that there was a gap between these cavalry and them, and they led the cavalry to charge, and they attacked the enemy first with their spears in hand. Dressed in leather armor, they are more likely not to get hurt.

And Ayang let the Wu cavalry know what cavalry archery is, and the cavalry shot arrows from the two wings of the Wu cavalry in a circle. Although Wu Jun fought back, it was like a girl who was (bowed) (female), she could only struggle weakly, but she was powerless how she struggled, and finally had to bear what ** made her feel powerless. (You get the idea.) However, in about a quarter of an hour, Wu's cavalry had been beaten away in ashes, and nearly half of them had been lost, and their morale had suffered a heavy blow.

Fucha's face immediately darkened, and he roared, "Who trained these cavalry? ”

"Yes, it's General Zhanru!" Bo Di said with some hesitation.

"If you go back, you won't be able to spare him!" The husband said angrily.

However, knowing that the cavalry was no longer available, the fucha said: "Arrange all those cavalry to be infantry!" Shit cavalry! I think it's all infantry! ”

"No!" A herald answered.

After the absence of the cavalry of the Wu army, the cavalry of the Han army was even more presumptuous, they were divided into teams of ten people, and under the leadership of their respective commanders, with the speed of their horses, they threw arrows at the Wu army.

Although the Wu army was counterattacking, the speed of the war horses was very fast, and they often miscalculated the places where the enemy passed. In addition, it was only a bow and arrow, since after a quarter of an hour, not a single person in the Han army was killed. And more than 30 soldiers of the Wu army have been killed and more than 100 wounded.

For the Wu army, which has more than 10,000 people, this number is not much, and it can even be ignored. But the blow to morale was great, and the soldiers watched themselves being beaten passively, and one can imagine how depressed they were.
