"What should we do next, then, in your opinion?" asked one of the elders, his words not lacking in their thoughtfulness.

"The reason why this cavalry of the Shi family was able to achieve this seemingly brilliant result is mainly due to the following reasons," Da Xihong stretched out a finger in his right hand, "First, their mobility is strong, in that night, starting from Luzhou City, they first arrived at the Ten Miles Plateau three hundred miles away, destroyed the Yugang Army, and then rushed to the Fengyin Valley two hundred and twenty miles away to ambush, and wiped out the Cangji cavalry, and then arrived at Yueyang City, two hundred and sixty miles away from the Fengyin Valley, in the early hours of the night, they ran a distance of nearly eight hundred miles. ”

"In contrast, our Eight Riders of the Stygian Snow can only run less than five hundred miles at most, even if they don't sleep endlessly, not to mention that the other party has also experienced three battles during this period, destroyed 50,000 of our horses, and captured a city. According to the news from the front, the mount of this cavalry is not an ordinary horse, but the legendary Howling Moon Dragon Horse, which only exists in the depths of the Jade Belt Mountains. ”

"Howling Moon Dragon Horse, even in the Jade Belt Mountain Range, the Howling Moon Dragon Horse is extremely rare, and this kind of strange beast only lives in a small group, a herd of horses is no more than five or six horses, I am afraid that the entire Jade Belt Mountain Range in the Howling Moon Dragon Horse combined, there may not be three thousand. Four or five thousand cavalry, all of them are Xiaoyue Dragon Horses? How is this possible?" An elder couldn't help but interrupt Da Xihong's words.

"We also think this is very incredible, but the information sent back from Luzhou City is true, and when this cavalry entered the city, more than 100,000 people had seen it with their own eyes, and there was no falsehood. Moreover, if it weren't for the Howling Moon Dragon Horse, it would have been impossible to run seven or eight hundred miles overnight, and if it were an ordinary horse, it would have been exhausted. Maybe Yunqi City has mastered the method of breeding Howling Moon Dragon Horse on a large scale, but we haven't known about it. Da Xihong replied.

"The running speed of the Howling Moon Dragon Horse is more than twice that of the Cangji Horse, and the highest weight is said to be able to reach more than 800 catties, and it is covered with scale armor, not to mention long arrows, even if it is the full strength of the Cold Window Warrior, a shot may not be able to hurt them, it can be said to be an extremely ideal heavy cavalry mount. ”

The head of the family, Da Xibo, said, "In the past, we didn't bother to catch some Howling Moon Dragon Horses to use as mounts, but the number was too small, and it was extremely difficult to tame, and getting ten or eight of them didn't work at all, and when they were mixed with ordinary horses, they would also frighten other horses. ”

"Second, the food of Xiaoyue Longma is extremely terrifying, even if you don't run much, you have to eat a hundred catties of beans a day, if you run hundreds of miles, it is estimated that it is not a problem to eat three or four hundred catties, this is four or five taels of gold, if it is four or five thousand horses, the cost of feed alone will exceed twenty thousand taels of gold a day, which is too much money. ”

"This Xiaoyue Dragon Horse is so edible, but this time the troops from Yunqi City entering Yuzhou only have these four or five thousand cavalry, without any food and grass support, how do they feed these scaly guys?" another elder asked.

After they entered Luzhou City, they carried the treasury granary empty, and when they rode there, there was nothing left except an empty city lord's mansion!" Da Xihong clenched his fists and said hatefully.

"When we catch Shi Huaichuan's kid, we will naturally let him spit out all the benefits he has!" Hong'er, you go on, what else is there to pay attention to in addition to the strong mobility of the Shi family's cavalry?" the elder continued to ask.

"Moreover, the Shi family has equipped each cavalry with a storm repeater, and the power of this storm repeater seems to be much greater than what we use, judging from the traces of the scene in the Wind Sound Valley, the effective killing range should be close to thirty zhang, and the range of the storm repeater we are equipped with is only ten zhang. ”

"Last but not least, this cavalry is led by Shi Huaichuan himself, although we don't know Shi Huaichuan's current cultivation realm, but according to our speculation, it should at least reach the level of the late stage or peak of the butterfly realm, in comparison, the commander of our Eight Cavalry of the Dark Snow is only at the late stage or peak realm, and he is not his opponent at all. ”

"Therefore, I suggest that our next action needs to encircle and compress the activity space of the cavalry of Yunqi City with an absolute superiority of forces, prevent or slow down the speed at which they continue to seize other cities, and at the same time, the cities around Yueyang and Yongsi must be vigilant and strengthen their defense, and they cannot be easily obtained. ”

"For their Storm Repeater, we don't have a good way for the time being, we can only take the heavy cavalry on top, quickly pass through the area of thirty zhang, and enter the stage of close hand-to-hand combat, this Storm Repeater naturally can't play any role. ”

"Finally, I have to invite a few elders to the front-line army to suppress the formation and contain Shi Huaichuan, so that he will not directly kill the commander of our troops by virtue of the realm of entering the sainthood, causing confusion in the army's mind. When they can't run away and can't eat enough, we will concentrate our forces to fight them again, and at that time, even if these four or five thousand cavalry are unicorns, it will be impossible to escape from our encirclement. ”

In view of the advantages of the cavalry in Yunqi City, Da Xihong analyzed them one by one, and came up with corresponding methods, and heard that the dozen elders and the head of the family, Da Xibo, nodded secretly.

The head of the family, Da Xibo, cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "This time the Shi family of Yunqi City led the army to invade my Yuzhou, which has never happened in hundreds of years, and the sacrifice of 50,000 soldiers of the Yugang army and Cangji cavalry is the most painful defeat and the greatest humiliation that our Da Xi family has suffered in the past ten thousand years. All this can only be washed away with the blood of the Shi family in Yunqi City!"

In fact, in Da Xibo's heart, there is another important reason that Shi Zhiyi defeated his eldest son Da Xi Zhiyu to win this year's Spring Conference, and forced Da Xi Zhiyu to write down the IOUs of the eight cities in front of everyone, which made the Da Xi family lose face, but the thirty-year-old Da Xi Zhiyu turned out to be the defeated general of the eighteen-year-old Shi Zhiyi, which is really a bit unreasonable, so Da Xibo had to skip it.

"The two elders of Yingheng and Yingzhong, please go to Luzhou City to join the Peerless Cavalry of Benxiao, and lead them to Yongsi, compressing the activity space of the cavalry of the Shi family from the north; The two elders of Yi Lu together, led the Chixi cavalry and 50,000 heavy armored infantry, starting from the east, this time, we must work together to let Shi Huaichuan and his cavalry completely bury Yuzhou, and avenge the death of 50,000 soldiers!"

"The Shi family took the initiative to provoke this time, although it brought us serious losses, but at the same time it also gave us an excuse to send troops, after this battle, I decided to directly wave the army to the north, directly take Yunqi City, let the Shi family completely remove from the eight families, let the world know that my Daxi family is by no means a soft persimmon to be manipulated!"
