It was nearly June, and the long-abandoned farmland was full of artemisia grass.

In the dense reeds on the banks of the river, wild ducks rise to the sky.

The mound is full of graves, the Qingming has passed, but the new graves and old graves are not swept away.

It's like a forgotten land.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, occasionally mixed with the sound of blades clashing.

At the forefront were more than 100 horsemen, all of whom galloped as if they were fleeing from the road.

The people who ran in front were okay, and a few arrows were more or less inserted into the more than ten horsemen who landed at the back.

And dozens of paces behind them, the cavalry, which was almost three times their number, shouted loudly and roared.

Some people hold lances, some people take halberds, and some people hold horned bows and steal an arrow from the cold.

The two sides chased and fled, and in the blink of an eye, they had run out for miles.

At this time, on the southeast side of the fleeing side, more than 200 horsemen rushed in, looking at their outfits, they were not like the people of the Central Plains, but more like Wuhuan and Xiongnu. But their target was precisely the Zahu cavalry running in front, and their movements were swift and merciless, and it seemed that they had been in ambush here for a long time.

Yes, the place where they set off was a forest.

After coming out of the woods, he submerged into the artemisia grass that was almost one person high, slowly accelerated, and after hearing the sound of continuous horses' hooves, he suddenly struck out, cut into the enemy bushes from the flanks, swords and guns, horns and bows, and instantly killed the enemy and turned over on his back.

The pursuers rushed forward, cut and surrounded the enemy from the rear, and slaughtered them wantonly.

A successful ambush!

There is no doubt that these two parts of men and horses cooperate with each other, consciously driving the enemy into the preset battlefield, and then gathering to encircle and annihilate.

A slight mistake went wrong in the execution process, allowing the Huns to avoid the first ambush area, but fortunately, the plan itself was redundant, and there were many troops mobilized, one missed, and the second one.

This brings the battle to a close.

The Hun cavalry knew that they could not escape, some were desperate to fight to the death, some begged for surrender in unfamiliar official words, and some were heartbroken, facing the other horse's cavalry, regardless of the straight rush, trying to break out of a gap and escape.

But all in vain.

The Wuhuan light cavalry of the beggar army cruised around the perimeter.

The shock cavalry of the Volunteer Army, with their lances and halberds, rushed and struck fiercely after getting close, and soon knocked off the last enemy cavalry that dared to resist.

Occasionally, when the Huns broke through the interception and tried to escape, the beggar rangers immediately surrounded them and shot the thieves and horses into hedgehogs.

The battle was soon over.

The cavalry of the Volunteer Army dismounted, first rescued their own wounded soldiers, and then mended the Huns to clean the battlefield.

The beggar army can also pick up some benefits, the flesh of the wounded and dead horses can be taken away, and the leather can be handed in, especially the best quality horse crotch leather.

Damaged ordnance from the enemy is allowed to be taken away, and it can be used when it is repaired and repaired.

These things, the sons and daughters of the righteous army still don't look down on them.

These Huns rode lightly, slippery and fast, most of them wore fur fur, and only a few of them had leather armor to protect themselves.

It's not that there are no melee weapons, but the skills are sparse and not very good.

Their biggest feature is that they are flexible, fast, and accurate in riding and shooting, which is a headache to harass.

To deal with them, we can only mobilize several times the number of troops as much as possible, and use such means as ambushing and luring the enemy to encircle and annihilate one of them with superior forces, so as to make them fearful, increase their costs, and curb the enemy's rampant arrogance.

"It's really not easy to catch such a group of thieves." Yi Congdu Manyu climbed a small dirt slope, looked at the corpses of people and horses scattered all over the place, and sighed.

He was followed by three cavalry generals, Vice Governor Qiao Hong, Scattered General Duan Xiong, and Commander Yin Qi.

Qiao Hong was a Hun and was born as a general, and most of the more than 300 cavalry in the early days of the Yicong Army were brought by him.

Duan Xiong was born in the forbidden army, and once ambushed the Xiongnu in Qili Pass, when he was still armed with armored horses, he was transferred out of the town by Sima Yue and went to Yanzhou, and went back to Chen Gong's account after going around and around.

Yin Qi is new here, a native of Liangzhou. After recruiting 1,000 new Liangzhou cavalry, their faction occupied a large share of the Yicong army.

To be honest, the pressure on Man Yu is very huge.

As the chief officer of the Yicong Army, Chen Gong has not moved his position, perhaps out of affection, or for other reasons. But in any case, when the size of the army is growing day by day and the factions are becoming more and more complex, his ability is very tested.

He spent almost all of his time in this force.

I often feel powerless and incapacitated, and then force myself to start a painful study, just improved, and found that there are more capable people, so I try my best to learn and ask for advice - I can't be looked down upon, otherwise what face will dominate the whole army?

This ambush of the Huns was a decision he made after overriding public opinion, and he called nearly a thousand cavalry before and after, just to encircle and annihilate two or three hundred enemy cavalry.

Fortunately, the final result was not bad, and more than 170 enemy cavalry were captured and killed, which greatly dealt a blow to their arrogance.

"Overseer, if you fight like this, you will inevitably be attacked." Yin Qi said unceremoniously: "Mobilized a thousand horsemen, but only surrounded and killed less than two hundred horsemen." In Chenliu, Puyang, Dongping, Jibei and other places, the Huns continued to plunder, destroying crops and houses, and the people were displaced and lying in the wilderness. If it continues like this, it will do too much damage to Chen Gong's reputation. ”

"What's your plan?" Man Yu asked.

"Nope." "I'm just telling the Overseers that this isn't the way to go. ”

! Man Yu was resentful in his heart, he didn't have any tricks, he knew that he was asking questions, right?

"Jun is an Overseer, I am not." Yin Qi smiled and went to gather the troops.

Qiao Hong sneered and said, "Overseer, this guy has a stinky face all day long, and it doesn't please anyone to look at him, so next time send him across the river to attack Shile." ”

When Duan Xiong heard this, he looked at Qiao Hong in surprise.

Among comrades, why is this so? How many people can Yin Qi take to Hebei? Even if you bring a thousand Liangzhou cavalry over, if you are surrounded by people and find a wilderness to shoot on all sides, so that you can't give full play to the advantage of close combat, won't you wipe out the whole army?

What's more, he didn't believe that the Huns didn't have any cavalry to charge hand-to-hand combat. Xianbei has a lot of heavy cavalry who are good at charging, Liu Han has a forbidden army, and there should be heavy armor foot soldiers and heavy cavalry, which is a key injury.

Damn, the Huns are unreliable!

"Don't talk about people behind your back." Man Yu glared at Qiao Hong, then pointed to the distance and said, "You send someone to the beggar army on my behalf." ”

"Overseers, beggars like that, call to fight because you can afford them, why bother?" Qiao Hong said disapprovingly.

Man Yu looked left and right and said, "The beggar army came to help the war on the orders of the concubine of the East China Sea. ”

"On the orders of the concubine?" Qiao Hong was a little puzzled: "What about the heir?" ”

"The heir is studying behind closed doors, and all the affairs of the palace are decided by the concubine. I estimate that the concubine will not be able to unload this burden until the heir is married. Go quickly, don't ask questions. ”

Qiao Hong left with a question mark on his face.

Man Yu turned over and got off the high slope.

The cavalry gradually gathered and walked on the bank of the canal.

In front is Putianze, which is one of the ancient names, in the east of Guancheng.

The Great Wall (Zhenghan Great Wall) is limited to the west, the Guandu of the East Pole, the water of the Pei Canal in the north, the longest place from east to west is about 50 li, and the north and south are 26 li, and the water area is very vast.

Putianze is connected to the Yellow River in the north, and Jishui and Langdang Canal are connected to the east, and the Bianqu and Gulf water systems are communicated.

It also has the function of regulating the flood peak and water volume, "if the water is full, it will be injected into the north (the Yellow River), and if the canal overflows, it will be sown in the south (Bianqu)".

There were only a few sand in the fields of this era. Perhaps because of the connection to the Yellow River, and after many years of war, the inability to maintain water conservancy facilities, to the Northern Wei Dynasty, the field gradually silted up, the sandbar increased, and the whole Daze was divided into 24 lakes, which were connected by waterways.

In the Tang Dynasty, a lot of areas were developed around Putianze, so the Zhengzhou Governance Office was moved.

During the Qing Dynasty, because of the relationship between the lake and the farmland, the garden gradually disappeared.

There are a large number of ships moored in the garden.

Several sand gangs in Zezhong have been converted into docks, which are crowded with people and noisy.

Man Yu led people to stop at the temporary station southwest of Putianzawa.

In the Mizusawa wetland, the aquatic plants are extremely abundant.

In particular, after the flood waters receded, the muddy ground was overgrown with lush pastures.

The horses roamed and munched happily.

Li Ju, the marshal of Wubao, was appointed as the commander of Xingyang, and he brought a group of people from his own Wubao to graze cattle, sheep and horses outside the nursery, while cutting grass to dry and crush as reserve forage.

This is also an advantage of fighting on the inside line.

Dock forts and military cities are everywhere, and they can be replenished at any time. In the future, if the number of horses increases, it can even be replaced, so that the combat efficiency will increase significantly.

When the Huns came south, they would face such a disadvantage.

When the Jin people went north, they would also encounter the problem of insufficient supplies.

It is always more difficult to attack deep into enemy territory than to defend.

"Oooooo......oo

After a while, a ship left the dock and slowly headed north.

Then came the second, the third......

This is the fleet of Yang Bao, the captain of the Duzhi school, loaded with grain and silk sent by Guangling, and transported to Beijing.

The transporters sat nervously on the fore and aft decks, carrying bows, quivers, and crossbows in their hands.

It is possible for the fleet to encounter a surprise attack from the enemy, and they cannot afford not to pay attention to it.

I heard that Jin Zheng, the deputy governor of the Silver Spear Army, brought more than 8,000 chariots, horses and war auxiliaries to Aocang, and he should have escorted these boats to Luoyang.

From Aocang to Luoyang, you need to pull the fiber along the way. The Huns may not be able to help the boats on the river, but they can still attack the slender man, so they must send an army to escort them.

"Kim Jong ......," Man Yu said silently.

It seems that Chen Gong is going to focus on cultivating their ability to be independent.

Jin Zheng, Wang Qi'er, Hou Feihu and others have a lot of prestige in the Silver Spear Army, they are very familiar, and they are easy to command, and they should be the first batch of people to take on heavy responsibilities.

Man Yu felt a little crisis.

In this life, people are like sailing against the current, and if they do not advance, they will retreat.

Thinking of the large number of people in the army who disobeyed him, Man Yu had a headache. I have no choice but to improve myself.

Martial arts and military strategy cannot be left behind.

He's still young – or too young – and he has opportunities.
