As soon as the words fell, the soldiers looked at each other with fear in their eyes.

Kui Duoyou had already noticed it, and smiled slightly: "You guys are panicking, this expedition only brought 300 war horses from the South Stable as cavalry. In addition, Grandpa Guo will send 3,000 horses from Fenghao's battalion to help, and in addition, reinforcements from the two kingdoms of Yu Yu are also on the way. As long as we fight bravely to kill the enemy and receive rewards for meritorious service, it is much better than dying on the couch in a nest of infections! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone believed it, and sure enough, it was not difficult to summon the prince of the country as the first assistant, and it was not difficult to transfer the war horse from elsewhere. Besides, there are also reinforcements from the vassal states, and they are not fighting alone, and they suddenly raise their halberds and make peace: "I am willing to go out with the forward general!" ”

"Okay, kill the cow and set off in the afternoon!" Kui Duoyou ordered.

The northern country, where the spring is expected to be cold, is unusually cold. A red sun stretches across the horizon, but it can't bring a touch of warmth to the earth.

In the military tent in the front camp of the Zhou army, a military meeting with a dull atmosphere was being held. Kui Duoyou's pale amber eyes were staring at the map outlined in two colors on the map:

According to reliable battle reports, the Lynx army had reached Yiyi, and it was less than 50 kilometers away from the front army of the Wang Division. However, although the logistics team that sent the military quarters to the Qishan battalion every day during ------the march would bring some horses, which were said to be good horses after recovering from the epidemic, it was a pity that the number was too small, usually a dozen horses, and in recent days, there were only twenty or thirty horses. It was too far from the target of 2,000 horses promised at the time of the expedition. Less than 500 cavalry, how to fight?

The generals of the Zhou army from the deputy marshal Wolf Ben down stood in front of the bookcase in two rows according to their official ranks, and everyone's faces were frozen like hard iron plates. Unlike the ordinary soldiers of the battalions, these people had already learned the news as early as when they first set out on the expedition: the military horses of the Feng Ho battalion could not be transferred as many as 2,000. Now what they think in their hearts is not consistent with Kui Duoyou, what Kui Duoyou thinks about is only advancing and not retreating, but what they think is: is it to fight or to withdraw?

The strength of Ao Xing, the king of the Lynx, was falsely claimed to be 100,000, but according to the report of the Tanma, it was actually 50,000 or 60,000, all of which were elite cavalry. Against such an army, at least 30,000 cavalry should be deployed in the case of equal strength, and the rest of the infantry should be supported by chariots to have a chance of victory. But now------

Suddenly, a general reported to the account: "General Kui, the sentry officer who went out to patrol has returned to the camp after encountering the enemy!" ”

Kui Duoyou said: "Quickly enter the account and report!" ”

A junior colonel, covered in blood, ran in and knelt down on one knee and said: "General Qiyu, when he led ten cavalry to patrol the sentry, he encountered more than sixty cavalry of the former army. After the bloody battle, he repelled the thief army, and our troops lost five people, six wounded, and four horses; Decapitate level eight! ”

The colonel had an arrow wound on his face, and blood was still oozing from the rags that wrapped the wounds, and it seemed that he had indeed experienced a bloody battle.

Kui Duoyou frowned and asked, "Can you find out the position of the main force of the lynx?" ”

"I can see that it is heading towards the lacquered land, and it is only thirty miles away."

Kui Duoyou quietly ordered: "Okay! Ten gold rewards, promoted to the rank of Captain! Let's go down. As soon as the order was given, a military judge immediately led the colonel to the wounded to receive the reward.

Whether in the defense of the country or in the Zhou army, Kui Duoyou has its own criteria: that is, the reward is unswerving, and the punishment is unswerving. The sergeants have different purposes for joining the army, but hundreds of people go to the barracks to eat the same meal, and they can only have military discipline by being strict in rewards and punishments. A disciplined army, coupled with rigorous training, sophisticated equipment and good logistics, is a prerequisite for winning all battles. And the real fight depends on the talent of the coach, as the saying goes, a general is incompetent and tired to death!

Hearing that the army of lynxes was so close, the air inside the tent became even more dreary. Kui Duoyou wanted to alleviate such a lifeless atmosphere, stared at the wolf Ben and asked, "General Wolf, the so-called soldiers are not too many but are used wonderfully." I have been in the army for fifteen years, and I have gone through countless bloody battles to get to today, how many soldiers and horses do you think I can bring? ”

"This ------" Wolf Ben was speechless for a while, although he is still the deputy marshal, but Kui Duoyou is the forward general of the edict of the Son of Heaven, and he is a confidant of Zhaoguogong, who is in charge of the military talisman, and the real power is above him. @·No mistake start~~ At the same time, he acted cautiously all his life, strictly abided by the rules, and survived countless battles, and was regarded as a respected predecessor in the Zhou army. He thought for a moment before he said: "The general is known as the "God of War", a young hero, naturally the more the merrier!" Five

"It's over!" Kui Duoyou waved his hand and said, "Are there so many millions?" Da Zhou didn't have so many soldiers and horses for me.

When we set out, we only had 300 horses and 60,000 foot soldiers, and we only had 50,000 foot soldiers when we counted the losses in order to store food along the way. The war horses of each department and the large battalion sent in a few days can equip about 500 cavalry. Now that there are 60,000 cavalry, what do you think you should do? ”

Wolf Ben immediately responded: "I have been in the army for more than 20 years, and I have always advocated that safety is the best. At present, our army is seriously short of war horses, but one steppe cavalry can top twenty infantry! It is better for the general to lead the army to retreat temporarily, and wait for the war horses to be replenished and the reinforcements to arrive before fighting. As soon as this remark came out, everyone agreed.

"General Wolf really acted in accordance with the art of war, and he was sure to be thorough everywhere." Kui Duoyou smiled slightly, and then pointed to a place name marked on the map and said: "In front is Qiyi, and the fox is about to arrive here." The distance was so close, if you retreated slowly, how could you outrun the lynx cavalry on two legs? They can run 300 miles in a day and night! As a result, we will be chased and beaten all the way, and in this case, we will be annihilated. Besides, have we gone through a lot of hardships this time just to retreat without a fight? How to explain to the Son of Heaven? How to face the people of the world? ”

"So what should General Yi Kui do? Is it infantry against cavalry? As soon as Wolf Ben said this, all the generals shook their heads secretly. Some of the more daring ones complained in a low voice: "That's it! He also said that he could bring in 2,000 horses, but it turned out to be a lie! ”

Ignoring these discussions, Kui Duoyou replied loudly: "That's what I mean!" The Rong people are good at shooting, but most of them only have short bows and light arrows, and they can only shoot at most a hundred paces, while our army is equipped with crossbow arrows that can reach four hundred paces, and ordinary hard bows can also shoot two hundred paces away. Let's gather and shoot, and the lynx horse team will not be able to bear it. @ ”

Wolf Ben said loudly: "General Kui! General Suwen is known for his cavalry on weekdays. Don't you know that the time for the raccoon to run 500 paces is only enough for the crossbowmen to shoot one arrow, and the archers are only three arrows at most? Then the enemy army has come to the side, what can I do? Do you want the brothers to use the heavenly spirit cover to block the thieves' axes? ”

Hearing this, Kui Duoyou was furious in his heart, if it weren't for Wolf Ben is senior, he would definitely scold: "Yes, this general usually leads more cavalry, but this time and that time." Now that the matter has come to this, do you expect to run down the war horse from the world? ”。
