Chapter 149: Supporting the Three Counties

The Iron Cavalry ran all the way for most of the hour. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info When he arrived in the area controlled by the Chu State, he stopped to rest. Zhang Chao counted the number of soldiers, including the seriously wounded, and the iron cavalry who were unable to continue the battle was full of 400 soldiers. Except for the time when they attacked the combined forces of Xia and Han, the iron cavalry rarely suffered such large battle losses. Zhang Chao's face instantly became gloomy.

"Adjutant, come over to me!" Zhang Chao shouted, and the adjutant hurried up, "What's the situation with that cavalry? What kind of formation does the Fengwu cavalry have in the Xia Kingdom?"

The adjutant was stunned for a moment, and thought for a long time before he spoke, "We don't know much about the intelligence of the Feng Wu Cavalry, it is said that this army is the deployment of the Fire Phoenix Army on the edge of the grassland of the Xia Kingdom, and the news from the Baiyi Guard has said that the Xia Kingdom has set up two new generals, one is the daughter of the veteran general Qin Kong, the only female general of the Three Kingdoms, Qin Yu, and the other is the hero who made plans to defeat the 200,000 army of the grassland, General Bailu. When I was fighting just now, I saw these two people, maybe this cavalry, or the legion established by these two people?"

"Qin Yu, egret?" Zhang Chao pondered, "I've also heard the names of these two people, especially this egret. ā€

"Before coming here, General Li Hai introduced me to the situation of the Xia Kingdom, and the most powerful thing at the moment is this young military division who defeated the steppe lord Duolun in one fell swoop with the method of calculation. It was Xue Changhai, the old general on the side of the royal capital, who had such a sentence, saying that the Xia Kingdom had this one person, which was comparable to 100,000 troops. ā€

The adjutant was stunned again, he didn't expect Xue Dashuai to have such a high opinion of this young boy who was far away in the Xia Kingdom. However, the current battle damage of the Iron Cavalry also shows that this Egret is indeed extraordinary, just a face-to-face effort, the invincible Iron Cavalry in the world has lost nearly 400 people, if this battlefield by the Egret side led this terrifying bow and crossbow Phoenix Dance Army to fight the whole way, the Iron Cavalry really met the opponent.

Zhang Chao also thought about this, "Just from the other party's soldiers, this egret is not ordinary." In terms of operations, it is again arranged for our iron cavalry. Whether you have a calculation or not, the fault of this battle damage should be counted on my head. ā€

Zhang Chao admitted that he underestimated the army of this Xia Kingdom a little, or when the other party had a hundred-knife clan and a heavy cavalry regiment, Zhang Chao would be cautious, but after the previous lord of Xia reduced these troops, he really couldn't think of any elite soldiers in this Xia Kingdom who could compete with the iron cavalry. As a result, he suffered a secret loss under the hands of the white egret, and if this field was not recovered, Zhang Chao would not be the commander of the iron cavalry of the Chu State.

At this moment, Zhang Chao didn't expect that the egret was also bound to win this iron cavalry team. A powerful cavalry team that can determine the victory or defeat of a local war is enough to threaten all of the Egret's plans, and when the Iron Cavalry appears, the Egret has already arranged for the spies of the secret guard to bite this army, no matter where the Iron Cavalry wanders, the Egret can now grasp the other party's movements.

Before the Feng Wu Army attacked, it was not as simple as trying to give the Iron Cavalry a dismount. The egret is not worried about how to destroy an army, even if it is the first army in the world, it has its weaknesses, and according to Lu Xiaoxiao, the weakness of the iron cavalry lies in its war horses. This point, the egret is more recognized, the reason is very simple, the iron cavalry is carrying the black iron armor, the black iron spear, and the horses are also covered with the black iron scale armor, this weight is enough for even the best war horses. The weight of the burden is also not small, and the supply of the war horse is also not small. War horses are also living creatures, and they need to eat and drink, just like people.

In that case, why wouldn't the egret make a fuss about it? Each of the secret guards who were assigned to follow the Iron Cavalry gave an explanation for a small thing, which was an inconspicuous bottle of medicinal powder.

This powder is harmless to people, if you eat a whole bottle, it is estimated that there will be no other harm except diarrhea. But for horses, the powder can have a terrifying effect.

This is a kind of plague-like poison made specifically for horses, and it is not a poison that seals the throat when you see blood, nor is it a designated poison that needs to be eaten to have an attack, but a genetic virus powder. Each powder is encased in a special virus that attacks very quickly and directly targets the horse's own genes, and once consumed, within four hours, the horse will produce an effect similar to horse plague, and it is irreversible and treatable.

This is the masterpiece of the Nina World Institute, and this process was personally instructed and developed by Egret himself, and it is not difficult or difficult for the institute to produce this research content. In just seven days, more than a dozen bottles of such powder were made for the egret.

To be on the safe side, Egret asked the Dark Guards to bring it with him. This time, the Dark Guard was not only to keep up with the Iron Cavalry, but also to drug the lakes or rivers where the Iron Cavalry might go to supply.

Zhang Chaoke didn't know that someone was already eyeing him. In order to continue the sniper operations in the future, Zhang Chao also had to replenish as soon as possible. Grain and grass has been placed in the nearby county, as the commander of the iron cavalry, Zhang Chao is very cautious, there has been a situation in history that the Xia and Han coalition forces have drugged the horses of the iron cavalry, he naturally attaches great importance to the problem of grain and grass supply, and even every time he feeds, he asks his officers and soldiers to personally inspect it, in order to be foolproof.

However, this medicinal powder is not something that can be easily found in the mixture of grain and grass, nor is it a substance that can be detected by Zhang Chao when placed in water. As he made his way to the supply ground, the Dark Guards were already in action.

Zhennanguan, night.

After the daytime battle, the egret and his party have returned here to rest. King Zhennan took his son and more than 30,000 troops to the three counties and one state that had not yet been lost to support the troops. Lehi was now on his way to collect the land of the Ten Counties with his army.

"Lehi wasn't that simple. Bai Lu sighed, "What we can think of, the other party must also think of, especially he himself must be clear, but with the number of his own army, it will definitely be difficult to occupy the entire territory of the thirteen counties and one state outside the Guan." ā€

"So, do you think he will borrow soldiers?" Xue Yan and Qin Yu looked at the egret and listened to the egret's explanation.

"Didn't he already borrow it? The Iron Cavalry was one of the supports. The egret tapped on the sand table, "So, there are two for one." This is an experienced veteran. The brain is extremely good, knowing that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to conquer the Xia Kingdom, he will definitely not let it go. ā€

"So he's definitely going to have new troops to support him!"
