Chapter 1172: King Qi's First Battle

City Fifteen.

The garrison is 1,000 households, plus hundreds of people, about 2,000 people. or draw a bow full circle, hold a spear, stand at the head of the city, or prepare for logistics.

Such as carrying arrows, running wounded soldiers, and waiting for battle.

Zhang Youwei was wearing heavy armor, led his own soldiers, and stood on the head of the city in person, looking ahead. Soon after, a black dot appeared on the horizon, and a large group of cavalry galloped in, stopping about three hundred meters from the city.

The voices of people neighed endlessly.

"Drum cheers." Zhang Youwei waved his hand and shouted.

"Knock Knock Knock !!!"

"Woo woo woo !!!"

"Kill, kill, kill!!!!"

The sound of drums and trumpets was endless, and the soldiers and men raised their weapons and shouted loudly.

Zhang Youwei plans to use this to scare off the Meng Yuan people, whether he can fight or not.

The Mengyuan cavalry had five thousand households and six thousand people. The head of the general is Zhu Mingde. Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-two years old, and he is in the prime of life.

"Mengyuan" under the banner. Zhu Mingde looked at the city in front of him, and his face showed unwillingness.

Seeing that the cement road of the Han army is going to be repaired to the capital of Mengyuan. Haida finally dispatched cavalry to attack the Han army's food routes.

But every time.

The morale of the Han army was extremely high, the concrete walls were very strong, and the walls were very small. It is a veritable small town, which is extremely beneficial to the defending side.

Unless there were heavy siege engines and a large army, it would be difficult to capture such a small city.

"Damn." Zhu Mingde glanced back at the soldiers behind him, and then pulled the reins of his horse and led the cavalry.

"Oooooooo!!!!oo

The Han army in the city saw that the Mengyuan cavalry had retreated. They all raised their weapons and cheered loudly.

Similar scenes are often played out in small towns built around concrete roads.

The Meng Yuan people had no way to deal with Wu Nian's strategy.

............

On the long cement road, a thousand cavalry of the Han army stopped to rest. After the cavalry turned over and dismounted, they did not drink water by themselves, but fed and drank water to the war horses, and only after serving the uncle did they take out water and dry food to satisfy their hunger.

On the entire cement road, there were Feng Chong's cavalry Wanhu wandering.

Such a scenario is extremely common.

However, the generals of this army are not thousands of households under Feng Chong's command. It was the king's eldest son, Wu Min, the Marquis of Qi.

His thousand-household guards were originally Wu Nian's inner guards, elite and good at fighting. You can catch a tiger when you go up the mountain, and you can catch a dragon when you go into the water.

Mounted on horseback are cavalrymen, and heavy axes are heavy armor and heavy axemen.

Wu Min asked Wu Nian to lead the cavalry to guard the cement road.

It's January now.

This month has come. Wu Min worked very hard, sleeping in the open air, because of riding a horse for a long time, the flesh on the inner thigh was worn out and hurt for a long time.

But as the saying goes.

Expertise is the result of long and hard practice.

He darkened, his skin became rough, and the flesh on his inner thighs became very hard. Completely took off the childishness, and exuded a mature atmosphere all over his body.

Lean, strong, sharp-eyed, and impressive.

Wu Min sat on a small bench, and after replenishing the water, he took out the dried pork and ate it. This jerky is very hard and needs to be torn off with your teeth and then chewed well before you can swallow it.

The rough feeling of the meat cutting through the esophagus is very noticeable.

Wu Min raised his head and said to his henchmen: "I practiced martial arts when I was young, and when I grew up, I was skilled in arches and horses, and I liked military affairs. He often led his retinue, went out hunting, commanded in the center, and arranged his troops. ”

"I didn't show it, but I was quite proud."

"But when I got to the army, I realized that it was just a playhouse. Just like the jerky in my hand, when I was in Jiang County, my diet was not fine, but I would not eat this kind of jerky. ”

"Now. It was only then that I realized the hardships of my father's generation of entrepreneurship. Back then, my father did not take off his armor and his horse did not leave the saddle. He often ran for more than ten days and fought fiercely with the enemy. ”

"What perseverance."

Speaking of this, Wu Min's face showed respect, and his eyes flashed with admiration.

Mounted on the horse and held the lance, led 100,000 troops, and competed with the enemy.

True husband too.

"What Hou Ye said is true. The king is really the son of heaven right away. The henchman lowered his head slightly and sighed with emotion.

After Wu Min ate the jerky, he ate a little dry food, but his mouth was really dry, so he drank a lot of water. When he's eaten and wiped clean, it's almost time to go.

At this moment, one of the horsemen shouted a warning: "There is wolf smoke." ”

Wu Min's face changed slightly, and he immediately stood up and turned over his horse, shouting, "Get on the horse and prepare for battle." ”

The Han army immediately mounted their horses, or armed with cavalry spears, or took out cavalry bows. Wu Min glanced up at the direction where the wolf smoke came from, and with an order, he led the cavalry to gallop away.

Wu Min's target is the 23rd city.

When he led his troops to the city, the gate of the 23rd city was closed, and the garrison of the city led the soldiers and people, holding bows full of rounds, spears in hand, and waiting for the battle.

Wu Min did not enter the city, but led his men and horses, lined up outside the city, and looked at the enemy with his head held high.

There were thousands of people who came to ride, and there were three flags, which was about the strength of three thousand households. Among them, the iron armor armor rate is only one-third.

The rest were hussars.

The garrison in the city was originally a little nervous. But when he saw the banner of the [Han] army, he was relieved. Take a closer look, in addition to the Chinese character banner, there is also a Qizi banner.

He was pleasantly surprised: "That's my king's eldest son, Qi Hou, and the elite under his command was originally a guard in the Ouchi. More powerful than General Feng Chong's cavalry. ”

"Chen Baihu. You go to see the Marquis of Qi in person, please come and defend the city with us. ”

"Yes." Chen Baihu, who was very majestic, said yes loudly, and then walked down the city wall, let people open the city gate, rode out alone, and came to Wu Min.

"Hundred households Chen Yong. Meet Qi Hou. Mengyuan is powerful, and the city is dangerous. My lord of a thousand households, I implore the Marquis of Qi to enter the city and preside over the defense of the city. ”

Chen Baihu turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee in front of Wu Min, and pleaded.

Wu Min looked down at this person, and then said, "Lord Baihu, please get up." It's just that. Lone is not happy to help you defend the city. ”

Chen Baihu was stunned, knelt on the ground helplessly, and looked at Wu Min incredulously.

Do you want to do that?!!!

Wu Min no longer cared about Chen Baihu, holding the golden horse whip in his right hand and the reins of the horse in his left hand, looking eagerly at the cavalry in front of him.

Immediately, Wu Min took a deep breath, pointed at the cavalry in front with the whip in his hand, and asked left and right: "Everyone." And what about the cavalry? ”

"Majestic." The cronies on the left and right were all unclear, but they all answered honestly.

Chen Baihu was stunned.

The Mengyuan cavalry, of course, is majestic.

Isn't this nonsense?

"How is it better than you?" Wu Min asked again.

"Master Hou is really joking. We were originally the king's guards, the elite of the elite. These Mengyuan cavalry are majestic, but they are far inferior to us. Someone was very unruly and said with his head held high.

"That's a good point." Wu Min didn't care, but was overjoyed. Then he looked around and shouted, "I often hear my father talk about the old things. The eldest husband is outnumbered and waits for idle things. ”

"What's more. In your lonely hands, you elites. Defending the city? Hum. Come. Take the lone lance. ”

"Alone you will break them down."
