Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 421 Conditions and Credentials

   On the current battlefield of the Han Dynasty, the power of cavalry is always the most terrifying.

The Baibo army had just walked out of the canyon not far away, and saw the corpses of those defeated soldiers in Yong'an County who were killed in the early morning of this morning. When they were in shock, they were ambushed by the Fei Qian soldiers on both sides under two or three rounds of bows and arrows, and they were in chaos. Just when the formation was trying to adjust, it was attacked by more than a hundred cavalrymen from Feiqian, and they were immediately defeated and fled in all directions.

  Although it was not easy for the cavalry to pursue on the long and narrow mountain road, Huang Cheng blocked the retreat of the group of white waves. Under the attack from both front and back, the whole battle was over within the time of a stick of incense.

   Fei Qian stood in the middle of the rear of the battlefield. After the cavalry charge, did they return to Fei Qian's back row one after another and line up again. Cleaning up the battlefield has always been the work of infantry, while cavalry are used for reconnaissance, transshipment, raids, outflanking, interception, etc.

Fei Qian also knew in his heart that without these more than a hundred cavalry, it would be impossible to send Huang Cheng and other troops to the enemy's rear to intercept before Bai Bo's arrival, and it would be impossible to directly strike the opponent when the enemy army was in chaos. knock down.

No wonder in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge could only take a steady and steady route, taking Longyou first and then Changan. Disabled...

  The cavalry came and went like the wind, and there was basically no problem at all for a hundred miles a day. Any infantry who encountered cavalry on the plains could only protect themselves at most. It was a joke to catch up with the cavalry.

Of course, there is another reason for Zhuge's failure, that is, Jizhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou, including Sili and Hedong in the later period, are the main areas of grain production in the Han Dynasty. It became the reason why Zhuge became weaker and weaker in the later stage.

Think about the Sun family who has the entire south of the Yangtze River in their arms. Although the Lingnan area is not developed and there is no economy, Changsha and Lujiang are also lands of fish and rice rich in rice. Meng Duan Hefei, if the so-called improper command and other factors are removed, will there be some embarrassing situations where there are no horses in the south of the Yangtze River?

   Cavalry!

  Fei Qian glanced left and right. This time, Baibo is in the army. After he has established himself, he will definitely send troops to the county to take a horse farm. In any case, he must first form a cavalry team...

  The reason why Dong Zhuo in Kansai is strong is because there are so many cavalry in Xiliang!

  My original Bingzhou veterans, plus the recruited Hu people, probably have more than a thousand, and expand it?

   Form two thousand first?

   Or three thousand?

   Alas, cavalry is very good, but there is an unavoidable prerequisite, cavalry is too expensive!

  Heavily armored soldiers cost money, and cavalry also cost money. The corners of Fei Qian’s mouth twitched. Could it be that because his name is Fei Qian, they all cost money...

  ××××××××××××××××

  If you want to live alone, maybe you only need a simple bowl of porridge to make people live, but it is not so easy to live well.

  Yang Feng held the porridge bowl, a little distracted.

  Two days ago, Hu Cai was defeated in the old city of Pingyang, which made Yang Fengtao happy and surprised.

  Happily, after Hu Cai's defeat this time, the direct soldiers under his command were basically completely exhausted, and there were only less than a thousand people left, basically no different from a small commander.

  In the past few days, Hu Cai has mostly been hiding in his own tent, apparently still licking his wounds...

   But more people were surprised, to attack a dilapidated Pingyang County with superior forces, which can be said to be almost equal to no city defense, and the result was a big collapse?

  In Yang Feng's estimation, the biggest possibility is that both sides will suffer, and then he will come back to end the game.

   Now the combat effectiveness of this soldier in Pingyang County is so strong?

  At this moment, someone outside the tent suddenly reported that a soldier from the former battalion had discovered something important and came to report it.

  Yang Feng put down the porridge bowl and said, "Come in!"

  A Baibo soldier walked into the big tent, bowed to Yang Feng, but did not speak.

  Yang Feng looked up suspiciously, and felt a little familiar, and suddenly felt a move in his heart.

   "Shuai Qu, do you remember me?" Bai Bo smiled slightly.

"Ru..." Yang Feng subconsciously wanted to ask how he got into the camp, but recalled that he was able to come and go freely in such a chaotic situation in Yong'an County that day, and the Baibo Army camp had always been loose. It is not very difficult for people to mix in.

   "... Please sit down." Yang Feng stared at the visitor, was silent for a while, and said, "What advice can I give you when I come here this time?"

  Bai Bo, who looked like a soldier, was not polite, sat down cross-legged, smiled, and said: "I don't dare to advise, but I just see him handsome and leisurely, so I came to see him."

  Yang Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Why do you say this? The pioneers are newly defeated, and they are waiting for reorganization. How about a leisurely life?"

  Bai Bo's soldiers did not break Yang Feng's excuse, but said: "I have a word, I don't know if Shuai Qu is willing to listen..."

   "But it's okay to talk."

  "A quick decision is needed to act, and those who look forward to the future and wait for the price to sell will eventually be disliked."

  After someone uttered his inner thoughts in one word, Yang Feng's face couldn't help but change slightly. Although there was an agreement before, it is naturally impossible for this kind of agreement to be guaranteed to be implemented. In the end, you still have to rely on your own strength to speak. It is no problem for Hu Cai to attack Pingyang and consume his own troops. , it’s not my own anyway, but I have to take my soldiers to go, in case something is consumed...

  Yang Feng sneered: "Is this what your husband said?"

   "No." Baibo soldiers slowly pulled out a small piece of silk cloth from his belt. There were obviously some handwriting on the silk cloth, handed it to Yang Feng, and said, "...This is the meaning of Hedong."

  Yang Feng took it and looked at it. It was written in the name of Linfen county magistrate's letter of surrender...

  Yang Feng frowned and said, "Why only in the name of Linfen?"

  Bai Bo's soldiers grinned and said, "Pingyang hasn't gone down, Xiangling hasn't been captured yet, why is Commander Qu dissatisfied?"

  Yang Feng naturally understood the meaning behind the words, not that he was dissatisfied, but that the people in Linfen were not satisfied. If you want to obtain a higher level of protection, you must win Pingyang and Xiangling.

   "There are horses in Pingyang, and they come and go like the wind, so it is difficult to win quickly."

   "There is no need for Shuai Qu to worry, there will be a horse coming from the west soon."

   "If this is the case, I will go to Pingyang immediately!"

  Bai Bo nodded his head. Although the matter was settled, he didn't intend to leave.

   "What else?" Yang Feng asked.

   "There is no proof, why believe it?"

  Yang Feng's eyes flickered, he pondered for a long time, and then said: "Good! You stay here for a while, I will take evidence from you..."

   In fact, during the entire Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge and Sima finally ruled the world...

   Sun Shiwan, commonly known as, Sun's hind legs, because he does a particularly good job of pulling his legs...

   There is no way...

   In fact, Mr. Luo said at the very beginning...

   Sun Jian is a fierce tiger...

   But Jiangdong is a water town...

   Maung told me that the South China tiger would die...

   Moreover, at the time of the Three Kingdoms, Lingnan was not developed...

   Jiangdong produced glutinous rice, and then the Jiangdong gentry stuck to the tiger tightly...
