Chapter 500: The Cycle of Cause and Effect

After Luo Zhanjun's repeated requests, Huang Daozhou had no choice but to agree.

After all, once the war starts, he has no eyes for the war, and he must borrow the Luo army.

And he planned to hand over the command of this army to the Luo army in wartime.

It can be seen from this that Huang Daozhou is really dedicated to the country, and is by no means a power-seeker.

......

The second factor is that there is no one under the command of the Zodiac Zhou.

Although there are still a few garrisons of the fifth grade, a thousand generals of the sixth grade, and a general manager of the seventh grade, they have no experience in the army, let alone experience in battle.

Therefore, he had to "have no general in Shu, and Liao Hua should be the vanguard".

Objectively speaking, Huang Daozhou did not pay attention to Hua Feng and others at first.

So it's understandable how much a commander would expect from a recruit?

In their eyes, the value of the existence of recruits is probably just one more momentum and one more cannon fodder.

It wasn't until the end of the challenge that day that Huang Daozhou looked at the newly promoted twelve generals differently. Therefore, Hua Feng was appointed as the commander of the former army and handed over more than 5,000 people to his commander.

I didn't expect the return to come so quickly!

In any case, the former army is extremely powerful.

......

What a shame!

He did not need to scout the enemy, nor did he have to worry about encountering enemy troops. Just concentrating on the march, in the midst of the storm, it was already very difficult, so it took three days to stop and go.

In this way, he still thinks that he has endured endless suffering and has a great merit.

But what about Hua Feng?

What about the elite barracks?

What about the more than 5,000 former troops?

Not only did they take down the enemy's powerful cavalry without blood, capturing countless trophies, but also formed a cavalry battalion and reorganized the front army.

......

In addition, the training for combat is also very tight.

The newly formed cavalry battalion was able to fight a war in just two days.

Although there were only more than 200 horsemen, this was a good start for the Northern Expedition and the only way.

From scratch, from weak to strong, isn't the development trajectory of the Northern Expeditionary Army exactly like this?

From the original more than 1,000 horses to nearly 50,000 today, from the original no horses to 2,000 iron horsemen......

And all this is inseparable from Hua Feng and other twelve new generals.

No matter what you say, Huang Daozhou and the others feel very ashamed!

......

All this can only be described in four words - incredible.

In a daze, the three of Huang Daozhou, Xia Tiegu, and Luo Zhanjun, who returned to normal, shook hands and hugged Hua Feng and the other four with unprecedented enthusiasm.

In and out of the words, he did not hesitate to praise, thank, and admire.

At the same time, Huang Daozhou, who was in a good mood, waved his hand at Hua Feng's suggestions on the distribution of war horses, and on the rectification and reorganization of the former army, and completely agreed.

And sincerely stated: As long as it is conducive to the improvement of combat effectiveness, all armies will do it, and I, Huang Daozhou, will absolutely strongly support it and will never hinder it.

Subsequently, the three leaders of the Northern Expeditionary Army, in front of Hua Feng and the four of them, began to discuss the distribution of more than 700 war horses.

......

There are probably four reasons why Hua Feng and others were not avoided.

Or, they have regarded Hua Feng and the others as equals.

Or, in their hearts, the four of Hua Feng are already close and trustworthy comrades-in-arms.

Or, they have no shame to do things that Hua Feng and others avoid, after all, people are meritorious and benevolent people.

Or, there is no need to avoid it at all, because their hearts are open.

Or is it a combination of all four?

......

With the outstanding performance of the former army, the rest of the three-way soldiers and horses who have not made an inch of achievements have also shown a high profile.

Therefore, the distribution of war horses was quickly over.

Xia Tiegu and Luo Zhanjun had two soldiers and horses, each with 200 horses. The remaining 316 horses belonged to the Chinese army where Huang Daozhou was located.

During the whole process, the three of them were humble to each other and seemed calm.

If you put it on the back burner, wouldn't you be fighting for it?

If it was given by the imperial court, it would not be possible to be so humble.

Because, they always feel that it is a surprise.

If there is an accident, why bother? More and less, they are all unearned, how can there be a face-to-face quarrel?

......

Immediately afterwards, the three commanders took their respective men and horses and followed Hua Feng.

Before leaving, Huang Daozhou asked Xia Tiegu to squeeze out some military supplies, especially wine and meat, and bring them with them.

Obviously, they went for four purposes.

The first is to express condolences to the former army.

After all, the former army is really hard.

Not to mention the non-stop rapid march along the way, he also completed tasks such as capturing enemy troops, cleaning up the battlefield, taming war horses, and training for battle.

It is both vigorous and resolute, and the results are remarkable.

The second is to receive horses.

This is the fastest thing to do, the number is enough, and the matter is taken away.

The third is to dispose of prisoners.

They still have to further discuss the method of disposal, but in Hua Feng's mind, it will never surprise him before.

No matter how they discussed, the 2,000 captives ended up being "dead", but they didn't know how to die.

Fourth, refine ambush tactics.

Ambush tactics before the march, but generally agreed. Nowadays, it needs to be further refined according to the topography.

Especially with 600 cavalry, the tactics are a little more variable.

Even if only 200 cavalry have a certain combat strength, the other 400 cavalry can be used as suspicious soldiers, right? At least to a certain extent, it can disturb the judgment of the enemy army.

......

After everything was completed, the group marched to the position where the front army was located.

Kankan arrived, and Xiao Yun and Fengfeng Liu, who were in charge of investigating the enemy's situation, also hurriedly turned around at this time.

Bring a few messages:

The enemy army had marched more than 40 miles away, with about 30,000 horses.

It was almost entirely infantry, and there was no artillery in it.

The direction is coming from here.

......

When everyone heard this, they were all in high spirits, but at the same time a little nervous.

This force is no more, no less, and it is just the appetite of the Northern Expedition rebels.

Because after the loss of 2,000 cavalry, without artillery support, its strength is not too strong.

If the tactics are right, it can be swallowed in one bite.

......

Forty miles is not far or close.

Xiao Yun and Fengfeng Liu started their light work and returned with all their might, which was almost negligible for the marching speed of 30,000 horses.

Therefore, it is completely possible to prepare tactics according to the forty-mile journey.

The time was a little rushed, but it was sufficient.

It's just that the celebration wine that was originally intended to comfort the former army could only be postponed. Let's wait until the ambush is over.

At that time, there will be no worries for the time being, and the whole army will celebrate together, wouldn't it be better?

......

When Huang Daozhou seemed a little at a loss, Luo Zhanjun embodied his extremely resolute side as an old soldier.

He immediately made two suggestions to Huang Daozhou:

First, relieve worries.

Execute the two thousand captives immediately, and as for how the two thousand captives will die, please ask Commander Huang to make a decision quickly.

Second, prepare for war quickly.

According to the position agreed before the march, the soldiers and horses of the four routes quickly entered the combat post. I want to talk about "Chivalry and Invincible" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
