Chapter 955: Ma Chao's Ambition (Second Update)

Xianyang.

At this moment, an army of 250,000 has been gathered. Among them, there were 170,000 cavalry and only 80,000 foot soldiers. From the proportion of this horse infantry army, you can peek at the huge advantages of the northern Wei State, the Qin State, and the Liang State in cavalry.

Especially since this army is only the Qin State, the Liang State is the main force, and the Wei State is just a partial division of Cao Hong. Cao Wei itself still had more than 100,000 cavalry.

In terms of cavalry, the state of Chu really can't catch up with the north.

The army of 250,000 troops, and because there are 170,000 cavalry, the three parties are relatively confident, no matter where Kou Feng comes from, whether it is the Slope Valley or the Meridian Valley.

They are all able to strike quickly and make head-on attacks.

It's strength, it's confidence. If it doesn't come out, it's just that, if it comes out, it must be a flowering brain.

On this day, in an open space outside the city, Ma Chao, Yan Xing, Cao Hong and others each led their own soldiers and were training.

It's training, but it's just archery shooting. The most important thing is to enhance the relationship and trust between each other. After all, everyone knows that it is necessary to despise the state of Chu strategically.

The combined power of their three kingdoms was enough to overwhelm the Chu State. However, they had to be cautious in terms of tactics, because if there were any problems between the three parties, the state of Chu would in turn suppress them.

And it is impossible for Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Cao Cao to sit down and talk about it together. So Ma Teng's eldest son Ma Chao, Han Sui's son-in-law Yan Xing, and Cao Cao's henchman Cao Hong gathered together, often discussed and trained.

"Tick tick tick." With the crisp sound of horses' hooves, a fast horse cut through the dust in a straight line, and next to it were five arrow targets erected about fifty paces away.

The knight on the horse began to shoot arrows, and in the process of riding, he shot five arrows in a row.

"Whoosh."

"Bang bang bang."

Every arrow hits the bull's-eye. This kind of skill, which can be called a miracle skill, immediately attracted applause from all around.

"Meng Qi is really good at shooting." Cao Hong was the first to applaud.

"In terms of archery, Meng Qi should be respected in the northwest." Yan Xing's eyes also showed a look of admiration and said.

The heroic knight on the horse is the son of Ma Teng, the famous general of Xiliang, Ma Chao. The courage is the best in the northwest, and it can deter the generals of the four directions.

"Hehe, it's just a trail."

At this time, Ma Chao drove the war horse to Cao Hong and Yan Xing's side, and said modestly when he heard the words. But there was pride in his eyes that couldn't be hidden.

Xiliang Jinma Chao has this pride.

This pride, in the eyes of Cao Hong and Yan Xing, did not feel anything, once Ma Chao had the capital of pride, they also really appreciated Ma Chao.

Even Yan Xing, the man who almost stabbed Ma Chao to death in the dispute between Ma Teng and Han Sui.

"According to Mr. Intelligence, Kou Feng has already transferred a large army to Hanzhong. It's just that I don't know if it's from the Xiegu Road or the Meridian Valley Road out of Qinchuan. ”

After a while, Yan Xing suddenly remembered the current situation and said.

"Whether it's the Slope Valley Road or the Meridian Valley Road, aren't they all prepared? On the other side of the Xiegu Road, there are Ma Kuang in Yixian County to defend the town, and Chang'an, the largest city near the Meridian Valley Road, has General Cao sent a general to guard it. No matter which road the Chu army came from, don't easily want to gain a foothold in the Central Plains. And. Ma Chao said proudly when he heard this, paused, and said: "Moreover, we have already prepared a large amount of grain in Yixian and Chang'an. If Kou Feng goes out, attack one of the two places. We can go out quickly without food. ”

"When the time comes, let the Chu army taste the power of our northern cavalry."

In the end, Ma Chao faced the south and was very arrogant.

"This is a fact, the cavalry in the north is strong, and there are many plains in the northwest, and the Chu army is out of the mountains and forests, I'm afraid it will be like sheep. However, there is one thing to be aware of. They have a cavalry force that should not be underestimated. Cao Hong was very impressed when he heard this, but he also had concerns, so he reminded.

In that year, the Wei State also despised the cavalry of the Chu State, and was led by Zhao Yun to lead a cavalry established in a short period of time and invaded the vicinity of Xudu, and Zhu Ling's elite cavalry engaged in battle, but was killed instead.

Later, Zhao Yun even seized a horse farm outside the city of Xudu. In that battle, not only did Wei lose face, but also lost hundreds of thousands of war horses, and it also strengthened the war horse reserve of Chu State.

It's a great shame.

Cao Cao didn't publicize much about the events of that year. However, later, the three kingdoms of Qin, Liang and Wei formed an alliance, and Cao Cao even sent some civil officials to help, which was to sincerely support the Qin State, and the Liang State was strong to resist the aggressive Chu State.

Naturally, this information was also disseminated to the Qin State and the Liang State.

Therefore, Ma Chao also knew about it. Hearing this, he nodded and said cautiously: "Don't worry, this General Cao, I know it in my heart." ”

However, then Ma Chao couldn't help but ask: "What the hell is going on, how can a cavalry that has only been established in a short period of time be able to fight against your elite cavalry?" And it can also use running shooting, which is a very good technique even in the Western Liang cavalry. ”

Ma Chao's doubts attracted Yan Xing's attention, and he also looked at Cao Hong, hoping to understand the truth.

"This." Cao Hong groaned for a moment when he heard this, and then sighed: "We didn't figure out what was going on, but we found that some dead war horses had their legs cut off. We can only guess that the speed of Zhao Yun's cavalry may be related to the horse's legs. ”

Back then, Zhao Yun's incident was a huge deterrent to Cao Wei, and for the rapid success of the cavalry, Cao Wei's upper echelons felt worried, even fearful, and afraid.

Cao Cao launched an investigation into this, but found nothing, the only thing strange was that the dead horse on the battlefield had its legs cut off.

With Kou Feng being good at Mojia techniques, Cao Cao and others could only guess what he had done on the horse's legs. But even today, it is not really deciphered.

Cao Hong's words made the atmosphere seem silent. Everyone felt that they were overwhelmed, the rise of the Chu State was really fast, and its core secret was that Kou Feng might be the heir of the Mo family. It has technology that no one can imagine.

The cavalry is its trump card.

"Perhaps, this war is also an opportunity for us." After being silent for a long time, Ma Chao suddenly said.

"Oh, what does Meng Qi mean by this." Cao Hong raised his head and looked at Ma Chao in a little surprise when he heard this.

Yan Xing also showed an interested look.

"The so-called Mohists are only because they have ideas to create sharp weapons. But it can't prevent us from copying ah, the Chu knife of the Chu State was copied by Cao Gong and became the Wei knife, and now it has spread all over the northwest. That's a big example. Ma Chao's eyes flashed with great excitement and said.

"I see." Cao Hong's eyes were also bright, and he nodded again and again, he knew what Ma Chao was going to say next. Although it was directly revealed that the Wei knife was formed by plagiarizing the Chu knife, Cao Hong was more unhappy.

But Ma Chao's proposal made him even more happy.

Yan Xing is also very eager like Ma Chao.

Looking at Cao Hong and the look of King Yama, Ma Chao smiled slightly and said, "This battle is very important for our three northern kingdoms, but it is also important for the Chu State." It is certain that the cavalry of the Chu State will be dispatched. As long as we can capture a batch of Chu war horses, and take a look at the secret on the legs of Chu warhorses, we can copy it. And in terms of the number of war horses of our Northern Three Kingdoms, once we get that technology. We can make cavalry fast, we don't even need infantry anymore, all turned into cavalry. In addition, ordinary cavalry can also become the most powerful and elite cavalry. In this way, the state of Chu can only be a turtle with a shrunken head. ”

In the end, Ma Chao's face was bright.

Isn't that what it is? If it is hundreds of thousands of cavalry in the north, how can the infantry of the Chu State rise to the top? As soon as you come up, you will probably have to break your head and get bloody.

Cavalry, cavalry, cavalry. Ma Chao is ambitious.

Cao Hong, Yan Xing is not like this.

"In this battle, we must live the secrets of the Chu army, so as to replicate them."

The three of them made a lot of determination in their hearts.

At this moment, a group of fast horses came from the direction of Xianyang City, and soon arrived at Cao Hong, Ma Chao, and Yan Xing's side. The knight on the horse jumped down and reported: "Three generals, there is news from Yixian. Marquis Qin, Marquis Liang asked the three generals to go back to discuss. ”

"What else is there to discuss? Give the order to start the cavalry at once. This time, I went with General Cao Hong. Ma Chao was dissatisfied when he heard this, and said.

In fact, the strategy has already been made. Once traces of the Chu army are found, let Ma Chao and Cao Hong go on the expedition. Leave Han Sui's cavalry in Xianyang to respond.

After all, on a battlefield, there will be many unexpected changes. You have to keep your strength. And when Chu sent troops, the first to be hit were Wei and Qin.

Therefore, it is also reasonable for Ma Chao and Cao Hong to take the lead.

"Meng Qi should not be anxious, it is reasonable to discuss it first. In addition, it would be nice to give the order to assemble the cavalry. After all, it will take a little time for the cavalry to assemble, and I believe that after we have finished our discussions, we can set off. Yan Xing was more steady and said.

"What General Yan said makes sense." Cao Hong agreed.

"Okay, let's go discuss it." Ma Chao nodded and said.

Immediately, Ma Chao ordered the cavalry to assemble on the one hand, and on the other hand, Cao Hong and Yan Xing returned to Xianyang with a large number of cavalry.

Xianyang City, in the hall of Qinhou Mansion.

Ma Teng, Han Sui, Zhong Xuan, Pang De and other important figures were all sitting in columns, and the atmosphere was relatively dull.

"Actually, it's a good thing for the Chu army to go out of Qinchuan, waiting is the hardest. Once the war is fought, it will be much better, and the war will be over. Zhong Xuan was a civil servant, but he was unexpectedly bold, and when he saw the dull atmosphere, he couldn't help but smile and said.

"Haha, what Yuan Chang said makes sense, it is the soldiers who will block it, and the water will cover it." Ma Teng laughed when he heard this, and said.

"This time, our three kingdoms will work together to defeat the state of Chu. Just like the Jin State during the Warring States Period, the Southern Barbarians of the Chu State did not dare to send troops to the Central Plains. Han Sui also said with a smile.

With the words of the three of them, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became hot.

Battlefield contributions. The generals are all gearing up.
