Chapter 763: The whole country rejoices
The 5,000 elite soldiers in the horse farm have just been assembled.
Although everyone is a strong person, the leather armor on his body is distinct, and the spear in his hand is also extremely extraordinary. But their generals have already killed themselves.
It can be said that the dragons have no leader.
In the face of this group of menacing Chu State Iron Cavalry, it only took a moment for them to scatter and flee.
"How can this be, is Cao Wei finished?"
There are even some military marquis, military commanders and other officers who shout in disbelief.
What is this place? Near Xudu. There were even 20,000 iron horsemen of Zhu Ling in Xudu City, and they were actually killed here, making them defenseless at all.
Now, they can only be like sheep being chased by lions, and they only hate why their parents didn't give them two more legs.
"Run, run."
The soldiers kept roaring, flying like headless flies.
In such a situation, even the most elite foot soldiers can hardly form an effective resistance force.
"Kill, kill as much as you can."
Zhao Yun knew that this was a group of elite soldiers. Now that the racecourse has been breached, there will be no need to defend in the future. If this group of elite soldiers is spared, it will definitely bring a threat to the Chu State.
This is different from the day before yesterday, the people they met with a large amount of luck, they can disperse things.
In the roar, Zhao Yun was like a tiger descending from the mountain, killing between the five thousand elite soldiers. The spears in his hands are dotted, and every time they can take the life of a soldier Cao who fled in a hurry.
Not to mention the remaining twenty or thirty thousand. Taken together, the lethality is 110,000 times that of Zhao Yun.
Ahh ”
Countless Cao soldiers were either killed or trampled into pulp by a large number of war horses.
After a few moments, except for a few who were able to escape, the resistance in the horse farm had basically been wiped out.
Zhao Yun and the other cavalry also slowly stopped.
"General" We have really broken through the Cao Army Horse Farm, look at the herds of horses, our Chu State finally has its own herd of war horses. ”
The deputy general next to him, the ecstasy on his face could not be concealed, he pointed to the group of war horses in front of him, and said almost madly.
"Yes, our Chu country finally has a herd of war horses." Zhao Yun also looked happy and said.
This is not just as simple as adding more than 100,000 adult war horses to the Chu State. For a long time, the war horses of the Chu State were imported from the side of the Duke of Beikang in Liaodong.
It was exchanged for food.
I don't know if Gong Beikang did it on purpose, most of the war horses going south were castrated. That is to say, don't look at the fact that Chu has **10,000 war horses, but they can't breed somewhat.
Even if there are warhorses that can breed, there are not enough mares.
Now that they have this horse farm, it is different, "The Chu State finally has their own horse farm, a herd of war horses that can be gathered.
For Zhao Yun, this is a great feat, but in Zhao Yun's heart, he actually values this horse farm more.
"Go and plug the hole in the fence we've broken into. Then he ordered the soldiers to separate in twos and threes, and gather all the horse keepers. Zhao Yun was excited for a while in his heart and ordered.
"The general wants to bring the horse-keepers back to the south?" The adjutant asked with a smile.
"That's natural, since the war horse is transported back, it is natural that it will be connected with the horse breeder. To be honest, "On our side of Chu State, we are really not as much as Cao Wei in terms of how to cultivate war horses, and these are all to be built." Zhao Yun nodded with a smile.
"No."
The adjutant general complied, and then gave an order to gather all the horse keepers in the stable, whether they were officials or subordinates.
A moment later, two thousand men of all ages gathered in front of Zhao Yun.
They are all relatively strong, and they are more moisturized from the complexion of their faces. Well, in Cao Wei, the subordinates who raise horses, whether they are officials or subordinates, are relatively nourishing.
However, at this moment, they all turned pale and looked at Zhao Yun worriedly.
The horse farm was breached, and they saw the fate of the 5,000 elite soldiers just now. The bones are still there. Naturally, I was afraid.
"Which of you is the official here?"
Zhao Yun rode his horse to the side of this group of people, and the silver-armored spear was "very heroic." After looking around at everyone, Zhao Yun asked.
"Here's the horse warden here."
A middle-aged man walked out trembling and reported.
"I am Zhao Yun, the lieutenant general of Chu State, and I hired you as the horse warden of Chu State on behalf of Chu Gong, I don't know what you think?" Zhao Yun asked with a smile.
What else. If you promise, you will live, and if you don't promise, you will die.
The middle-aged man looked at Zhao Yun, and after muttering in his heart, he immediately showed a flattering smile and said, "Xia Guan has admired Duke Chu for a long time, and it is really a wish to be able to serve under Duke Chu's account. ”
"Okay, immediately lead the people here and gather the war horses. Follow me to Chu. Zhao Yun nodded with satisfaction and ordered.
When the warden had made a promise, he immediately greeted him, and two thousand people dispersed, and gathered all the horses, up to the adult horses, with the mare in the middle and the foal below. Not a single horse is missed.
Yun looked at the herd of horses, as black as dark clouds, the whole body and mind were very hot, and after a dead glance, he pulled the reins of the horse and ordered.
The general immediately led the cavalry, as well as the two thousand horsemen in this horse farm, and more, nearly three hundred thousand horses, towards the south.
There is a saying that it is called the galloping of ten thousand horses. refers to the gallop of 10,000 horses, and the momentum is really amazing. Just 10,000 horses together have an amazing momentum.
Not to mention 100,000, 300,000 war horses?
It's like a terrifying beast, black and overwhelming. Anyone who saw it was shocked, and his legs were weak.
"Bang bang."
In the frenzied sound of horses' hooves like an earthquake, behind a handsome flag with the word "Chu", countless war horses headed towards the south.
This is the great treasure that Zhao Yun obtained during this Northern Expedition.
After Zhao Yun and the others left, this horse farm, which was originally one of Cao Wei's three major horse farms, with nearly 200,000 war horses, became very dilapidated.
All that remained was a pile of blood, and corpses were all over the floor.
It wasn't until after Xu Dong that a team of people came here. At the head was a middle-aged official. It was Xun or the book under the account, sent to observe the situation.
"Such a loss is difficult for even the entire north to bear. Hurt muscles and bones, hurt muscles and bones. The middle-aged official muttered with a sad face.
After several days of galloping, Zhao Yun and the others finally returned to Wancheng.
Xu Shu, who received the news one step earlier, led the generals in the army to the north for three miles, and greeted Zhao Yun's triumph in an open place.
The reason why Xu Shu got the news one step earlier was because of the beacon tower.
He and his subordinates Wen Ping, Li Yan, Wei Yan, Sha Moke and others did not know that Zhao Yun not only killed Zhu Ling, but also plundered nearly 200,000 horses back.
This feat, even more huge than Zhao Yun's defeat of Zhu Ling.
Therefore, when Xu Shu, Wen Ping, Li Yan, Sha Moke, etc., saw Zhao Yun leading his troops to come, there were nearly 300,000 horses galloping.
There was a look of horror and shock on his face. Even Xu Shu is no exception.
However, Xu Shu's reaction was the fastest, and he immediately realized what Zhao Yun had done.
"Hahahaha, Zilong really made Cao Mengda bleed this time. From now on, my Chu State will no longer have to be subject to Gongsun Kang, and will be able to breed war horses on its own. Hahaha. Xu Shu laughed, laughing heartily.
The generals of the Great Tent are very dependent on their own national strength. What's more, it is a general like Xu Shu who almost stands at the apex of the country, and he has a strong influence on the national strength, financial resources, forces, and cities of the entire Chu State. and other comprehensive forces are very clear.
They are not short of troops, generals, advisers, etc., but they are the only ones who lack war horses. This can only allow the state of Chu to live in the southeast. I never dared to step into the Central Plains.
Therefore, Kou Feng made stirrups, horseshoes and other important equipment that was conducive to the formation of cavalry. In addition to this mosquito, there are also crossbowmen and other tools specially used against cavalry.
However, these have never been able to fundamentally solve the problem of the scarcity of cavalry in Chu, but Zhao Yun not only killed Zhu Ling when he went north this time, but also captured Zhu Ling's war horses.
This is to attack the opponent's strength and increase your own strength. It can be said that the state of Chu has won a big victory.
Dig up one of Cao Cao's three major horse farms in the north, nearly 200,000 war horses, mares, ponies, etc., which is a big victory. An unprecedented victory.
This victory, to be honest, can really be compared to such a big victory as Kou Feng's capture of Jiangling, Xiangyang, Wancheng, and the capital of Chen Bing's Son of Heaven.
No matter how good Xu Shu's cultivation is, how can he maintain his prestige. But at this time, I couldn't help but laugh.
"War horses, a lot of war horses. From now on, we can also have a cavalry unit in our army. Li Yan, Wei Yan and others were also pleasantly surprised, very excited.
The Chu army lacked cavalry, so Kou Feng concentrated all the war horses in one point and gave them to Zhao Yun to use, and established a working iron cavalry.
But the after-effect of this is that there are very few excellent cavalry units in other armies. Fighting in the Central Plains, not in the steppe. All you need is formed cavalry.
In the Central Plains, if you can match the cavalry with infantry, it is very perfect.
After all, you need infantry to conquer cities, and cavalry is needed to defend cavalry. Li Yan and Wei Yan have a very deep desire for cavalry.
Now that I see so many war horses at once, I am naturally overjoyed.
"Not only us, but also the elite troops of our Chu State can build up a cavalry. For example, Huang Hansheng, the left general in Yangzhou, etc., if they can have a cavalry, the threat will be even greater. Xuzhou is a flat river. Xu Shu said with a smile when he heard this.
"Hahaha, this is really a heavenly estimation of our Chu country, and it will be prosperous." Wei Yan, Li Yan and others laughed one after another, very happy! ~!
