Shu Chen

Chapter 374
Just as the Jiangdong Lai Navy Division contained the Wei State's cross-river attack, the Wei State's iron cavalry's sudden formation and attack tactics have always been Jiangdong's fear.

Regardless of whether it is under the supervision of Zhang Liao or not.

Therefore, when Sun Quan learned that half of the tigers and leopards were now in Hexi and Luoyang was famine at the beginning of the year, he went ashore and waited in full force, intending to fight fiercely with the Yanyu two prefectures led by Man Chong and Cao Rui's Luoyang central army: There are not so many cavalry in a vertical and horizontal trend, so we might as well be bold in tactics and try our best to relax Huaiyou's defense as soon as possible.

However, what he didn't know was that Cao Rui Du led more cavalry this time than before!

Among the [-] troops, there are more than [-] cavalry soldiers!

Naturally, such a large number cannot all be tiger and leopard riders, and not all of them came from Luoyang.

Among them, more than [-] cavalry soldiers came from the north of the river.

Since Wei Wu Cao Cao pacified the north, out of the consideration of using Jizhou as a feudal country, the policy of light corvee, tax reduction, and people's recuperation has been implemented in the north of the river.Even though the world has been in turmoil for decades, people have gradually forgotten that Youbin and Erzhou, like Liangzhou, are dominated by riding and fighting, and famous generals emerge in large numbers.

And benefiting from the decline of Xianbei in northern Xinjiang and the collapse of the Gongsun family in Liaodong, many cavalry soldiers who had previously guarded Youbin County were able to disarm and return to the field, or they could follow other places.

Cao Rui had sent Qianhong and Xia Houxian to Wuhuan Tuqi a few months ago.

In fact, it was Wuhuan from the Three Counties who fought with Yan Rou and was praised as "the world's famous horseman".

At the beginning, Yan Rousu was loved by Cao Cao, and he said, "I treat you like a son, and I want you to treat me like a father." Therefore, Yan Rousu entrusted herself to Cao Pi, who was then a general of the five senses, and loved her like a brother.All of them are dead now, but Yan Rou's younger brother Yan Zhi is still alive, and was granted the prefect of Shanggu by the Wei State, favoring him.

Based on these experiences, Yan Zhi, who inherited Yan Rou's prestige, naturally gave his best to help, so that those Wuhuan tribes who had already moved inland had no shortage of willing soldiers. , you can see why Qianhong and Xiahou Xianneng raised more than [-] riders in just a few months and returned.

It's just that Cao Rui planned to put this cavalry into a dormant performance at the beginning.

In order to use it in Longyou to fight against the Han army in the future, it can be used as a surprise soldier!

But now Jiangdong is coming to invade and Luoyang really can't mobilize many troops to help, so he has no choice but to recruit them to follow.

Alas, that's all.

Quan Dang used this battle against the thief Wu to make the Wuhuan Tuqi, who had just formed an army, perform martial arts in front of the battle.

Cao Rui, whose plan was ruined, had no choice but to comfort himself in this way.

Inevitably, when the warlord came to Jingzhou, he was also full of anger towards Sun Quan, and he was determined to make Jiangdong a disastrous defeat.

Since the Battle of Shiting, Jiangdong has repeatedly invaded!
He was completely tired of rushing to help countless times, and he didn't want to let Jiangdong continue to provoke him.He wants to defeat the thief Wu in this battle, and make him hurt his muscles and bones. He will not dare to cross the river north in the next few years!
It's not just about venting your anger.

It is also for the purpose of being able to fight to the death with Nishu in the northwest without distraction in the future.

Therefore, his dispatch this time did not follow the previous strategy of defending the thief Wu and attacking Nishu.

It was first ordered to send an edict to Man Chong, who was confronting Sun Quan outside the three passes of Yiyang, and asked him to hold back Sun Wu's army as much as possible; he also ordered Wang Chang to leave only a few soldiers to guard the city, and dispatched Jingzhou's garrison army to go forward. Dangyang County attacked Wu Zhuran's department.

Because the more than [-] Luoyang Central Army under his personal supervision will suddenly descend down the Mian River and insert into Dangyang County, and attack Zhu Ran's troops from behind together with Wang Chang.

But Wuhuan Tuqi, led by Qianhong and Xiahouxian, rode their horses into Jingshan Mountain to attack Wu Panjun's troops.

The intention is obvious: since the thief Wu has repeatedly tried to fight for losses, then Cao Rui will do as they wish.

Let's see whether it was Sun Quan who defeated the Manchong tribe or captured Anlu City first, or whether he and Wang Chang marched forward and wiped out Zhu Ran's and Pan Jun's tribes in Jingbei first!

Sun Quan in Jiangxia County was stunned when he heard the news.

In other words, he didn't expect at all that he was complacent about getting five hundred war horses from a big man for free, but now he has to bear the trampling of Wuhuan Tuqi instead of a big man.

Sudden cavalry, as the name suggests, is a cavalry that can dash forward.

Because the Wuhuan tribe had the iron smelting ability of "making bows, arrows and saddles, and forging gold and iron as weapons" very early, the Wuhuan cavalry has a high rate of armor.Although they are not as well-equipped as armored cavalry, compared with Qingqi's "riding and shooting"-based combat method, they are very good at breaking the formation with spears in front.

For example, Liu Xiu of Guangwu once said, "I heard that Tuqi is an elite soldier from all over the world, and now I see them fighting. It is fun to talk about it."

The combat power is almost equal to that of the Han cavalry, and it is by no means comparable to the cavalry of ordinary nomadic tribes.

In other words, Pan Jun is in danger!
He intends to "appease" the Jingman tribe to migrate to live in Jingnan. He has the convenience of feeding on the enemy, so he will not carry too much food and fodder. Even if he finds out that Wuhuan is riding outside, he cannot hide in the mountains. Fight for too long.Once the food and fodder ran out, he had to lead his army out of the mountains and face Wuhuan Tuqi in the plains.

With no strong camp to rely on, the outcome is self-evident.

And he has already threatened several hundred Jingman small tribes to "return to righteousness"!

It also aroused the common hatred of other Jingman tribes.

No one wants to be coerced by soldiers.

Even if Pan Jun is a celebrity in the state, he is well-known in Jingchu.

Once those Jingman tribes learned that the Luoyang Central Army of Wei State had come to aid them, they would spontaneously gather a Communist Alliance as soldiers, seek Wei State's help, and march into Jingshan to drive Pan Jun's tribe out.

What is even more desperate is that Zhu Ran's department, who had previously protected Pan Jun comprehensively, is now too busy to take care of himself after being flanked, and will definitely not have the spare energy to rescue him.

The combination of these status quo has become Sun Quan's burning anxiety.

He had no time to grieve and indignantly that Wei Guo had once again established Wuhuan Tuqi.He just knew that no matter what his purpose was, he couldn't just sit back and watch Zhu Ran's and Pan Jun's troops be wiped out.

Without Zhu Ran, the state of Wu will have no one who is of the same mind as him.

With the loss of Pan Jun, Jingnan, who was already unstable, may continue to rebel again.

Not to mention, he really didn't have much confidence to break through Man Chong, who was leaning against the mountain and falling into camp to confront him.

Therefore, after urgently recruiting the generals of various ministries to make plans, Sun Quan asked Lu Xun and Zhuge Jin to retreat slowly to Shiyang City to curb the pursuit of the Wei army from the Manchong Ministry and Anlu City. More than [-] soldiers rushed to rescue against the Mian River.

However, there is a saying that "if one mistake is made, the whole board will be lost".

Under the circumstance that the strategic opportunity was missed due to unequal information, his rush to rescue was destined to usher in a dismal end.

Due to the time it took for military intelligence to pass back and forth and make decisions to reorganize the army, Wei Guo was already ready to send aid.
