Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 918 Fighting Chang'an (4)

  The cavalry army of more than a thousand Feiqian, the marching column is divided into three teams marching, the left and right wings are slightly ahead, and a rear team is added on the middle side. In the four columns, the distribution of cavalry is similar.

Compared with the infantry, the cavalry marched in long and scattered columns. These four teams could control a considerable area on the way, like a net, heading towards Sucheng. It depends on whether Sucheng will be a stone that tore through the net, or a fish that falls into the net.

   At the rear of the cavalry, the infantry followed. With the cavalry in front, these infantry felt relieved, and followed the cavalry in the rear, and marched straight forward.

  The cavalry continued to move forward. Along the way, Fei Qian dispatched at least a hundred scouts to roam around for a long distance. It can be said that within a radius of tens of miles, they were all within the detection range of these scouts.

If you want to defeat more than a thousand cavalry, or give these cavalry a hard blow, it is basically wishful thinking to rely on only a few dozen or hundreds of people, but when there are too many people, no matter whether it is smoke or other environmental changes, you will not be able to escape. The eyes and ears of the scouts...

   But until now, it seems that these Xiliang soldiers stationed in Sucheng didn't want to engage in a positional battle with Feiqian at all, so they kept huddled in Sucheng, and only sent some scouts to investigate Feiqian's movements.

   Today the sky is high and the clouds are light, the vision is excellent, not too far away, the dark city can already be seen vaguely in front of it, it is Sucheng where Xiliang soldiers are entrenched and guarding, blocking the advance route of Fei Qian's army.

  Many of the scouts released before had come to report back, but nothing was the same, Xiliang soldiers were still on guard above the city. There are also some scouts who have crossed the city to check and guard further away. The sharp whistles of each other are transmitted far away, and even Feiqian can faintly hear it here.

   Fei Qian looked at Su Cheng in front of him, silently slowed down the speed of the horse, and raised his right hand. Behind him, Huang Xu ordered loudly: "The whole army stay here!"

With the horns and flags waving, the soldiers in charge of the flags in each queue immediately repeated Feiqian's orders, and then immediately beat the horses to gallop back and forth in the queue to repeat, and then patted the horses to drive towards Feiqian, waiting for Feiqian to send out The latest instructions, and then re-transmit the instructions to the grassroots soldiers.

At this time, the cavalry slowly stopped. Before getting Fei Qian's next specific move, the team leaders and leaders at the grassroots level had begun to follow the order, let some people guard the periphery, and let others You can get off the horse, in addition to adjusting the harness straps, you can also get some beans, no matter whether it is your own horse or not, you can fill some of these big guys' mouths, so that these gluttons can recover some of their strength.

   Fei Qian sat on the horse, straightened his back, and looked at the dark city in front of him. In fact, at such a long distance, he couldn't see anything clearly. Even the flag above the city was almost a small black dot.

   It's not that Fei Qian didn't think about the telescope or something, but that thing is really not easy to handle. Polishing and polishing are not a big problem, but pure crystals are almost treasures in this era, and the fired glass cannot produce completely pure and transparent materials due to material and technical reasons. In addition, the optical axis needs to be adjusted so that The focus of the lens can just be on a straight line. If you still want to be portable, you can zoom in and zoom out to adjust the focus. This...

  So the sightlines are equal now, Fei Qian can see Sucheng, so naturally the Xiliang soldiers above Sucheng can also see him.

Fei Qian pointed with his finger, turned around and said: "Look at this, the Xiliang thief only wants to stay in the city! I once thought that this Xiliang was also a frontier army, and I was somewhat brave. Now it seems, hey... "

   Several military lords who were beside Fei Qian laughed when they heard the words. Fei Qian was saying that Xiliang had lost his blood courage, and the implication was that the Bingzhou army is the strongest now?

  In the army itself, it is the courage and self-confidence that have been fought in these battles. There are more than a thousand elite Qingqi who dare to line up under the city. Isn't this kind of momentum a manifestation of the army's self-confidence and strength?

  At that moment, a military lord smiled and said: "Your lord! These can no longer be called soldiers, they are all thieves, where is the blood and courage!"

   "What kind of army are these? Those who rob their own people can also be called the Han army? According to me, go straight to Chang'an, and let the world see the momentum of our Bingzhou soldiers!"

   "I can get you! Junhou hasn't spoken yet, so I got your mouth sloppy in that round!"

  Fei Qian was not angry because of the words of these military lords. For Fei Qian himself, these military lords also represented the morale of the grassroots soldiers, and their fighting spirit was high, which was a good thing.

  So Feiqian laughed, threw his saddle off the horse, and said, "Okay! Since these guys have no guts, we don't have to bother so much! Send the order, fix it on the spot, and wait for the rear to come!"

  Fei Qian got off the horse, Huang Xu got off the horse immediately, moved the horses, let Fei Qian sit, and then brought his personal guards around Fei Qian...

   Feiqian seems to be having a good time here, but the atmosphere above Sucheng is tense.

   Li Meng and Wang Fang stood at the top of the city, leaning against the battlements, with solemn expressions. Although I know that this day is coming, but when it is really in front of me, I still can't calm down in my heart.

The Han Dynasty originally had two frontier armies, one was from Xiliang, and the other was from the Bingyou area. In comparison, the soldiers cannot be said to be superior or inferior, but since the Han Dynasty implemented the strategy of shrinking the defense line in the northern part of Bingzhou , the Bingzhou Army Corps was going from bad to worse, but unexpectedly, it was abruptly pulled up by the person opposite now!

So when Fei Qian approached slowly with more than a thousand light cavalry, Li Meng and Wang Fang did not dare to act presumptuously, because they knew that what they were facing was not a temporary army, but a battle-tested soldier. Such troops are the most difficult to deal with!

   "They...have all dismounted? Didn't even take any precautions? This...this is also...hey!" Wang Fang frowned, stretched out his hand and patted the battlements heavily.

  Li Meng set up the awning with his hands, looked into the distance, and said after a moment of silence: "Damn it! You actually underestimated us!"

  These Bingzhou cavalry troops were recuperating at such a distance, so lazily showing off their power in front of themselves! It was obvious that he didn't take the Xiliang soldiers seriously. At such a moment, Li Meng's heart was filled with huge anger, which almost drowned him instantly!

   Is it because these Bingzhou soldiers are too confident in their own strength, or have they not really seen the power of the Xiliang iron cavalry?

Seeing Fei Qian make such a move, even the guards behind Wang Fang Li Meng were a little angry, and they all looked at Li Meng and Wang Fang to see if they were going to take advantage of the fact that the soldiers on the other side were not in the rear. When the time comes, let's fight first to defeat these people's spirit...
