My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 367 The Way of Ultimate Weaponry

In the courtroom, while Guan Yu pressed down Zhou Cang's hands, he held the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and strode out of the courtroom with Guan Ping.

Outside, the red rabbit who was led by the Yamen servant neighed excitedly. Guan Yu turned over with a knife. Zhou Cang followed him out and stood under the eaves with his hands in his hands: "Your Majesty, please be careful when you go."

"A bunch of chickens and dogs..."

Red Rabbit plowed his iron hooves, Guan Yu held the Yanyue Sword and turned around to look at Zhou Cang: "How can you stop me!"

After saying that, he pinched the horse's belly and urged the horse to shout loudly: "Drive!" The red rabbit under him hissed excitedly, and immediately ran out with a swish.

In the bright morning, Guan Yu, wearing a green robe and golden armor, walked through the long streets and rushed out of the south gate with his son Guan Ping and a group of soldiers.

Immediately, the commanding cavalry in the army also began to run.

The Tiger Cavalry Battalion in the camp outside the city gathered in the school grounds wearing armor and leading horses and carrying broadswords. They had a small bag hanging on their waist, which contained several days of dry food. After all, as cavalry, it was impossible to have baggage and logistics. behind.

The morning breeze blew through the school grounds, and the big flag with the word "Guan" was flying in the camp. Two thousand tiger cavalry soldiers stood quietly beside the horses. They heard the sound of horse hooves galloping towards them, and the figures of Guan Yu and his son appeared in the field of vision. At this moment, they raised the long handle of the big knife in their hands and slammed it on the ground, stirring up the soil.

They looked at the figure standing on the general stage with firm and fiery eyes, and their voices came one after another, forming roars and shouts.

"Greetings to the Lord!"

On the high platform, the wind blew his beautiful beard and caressed his chest. Guan Yu stepped forward and stood on the edge of the high platform, scanning the faces below.

"I just heard the news that three tribes from the Liang Kingdom bypassed the frontline troops and prepared to outflank Jimai City. However, there are many wounded and sick people in the city, all of whom are our comrades. Guan will not abandon them in the city and leave them to the Liang people. If the defenders of the city are bound to be surrounded, and once the reinforcements are too late to reinforce, the city will be destroyed and people will die. Guan will never sit still and wait for death, so he can only lead you and two thousand people to follow me out of the city to fight!"

When he said this, two thousand tiger riders got on their horses and made a "boom" sound.

On the high platform, Guan Yu no longer looked as majestic as he once did in the army. At this moment, he looked more like a pure commander and general. There was a murderous look in his eyes.

His voice was like thunder: "Assault the Liang Kingdom's [-] soldiers and horses, cut off its military methods, cut off its food and grass, and shock China!"

"Cut off its military skills, cut off its food and grass, and shock China!"

The Yizhou infantrymen in the camp pushed open the camp gate with excitement. On the school field, two thousand tiger cavalry turned around and followed Guan Junhou down the high platform. They started running together with Guan Junhou who was riding in front.

Two thousand cavalrymen rushed out of the camp gate like a long dragon, their iron hooves churning faster and faster. The ground began to rumble, and they jumped up under the dense iron hooves, and a huge plume of smoke rose into the sky.

Zhou Cang stood at the top of the city, watching the long dragon sweeping the ground with iron hooves, turning around in the wilderness and sweeping towards the southeast!

……

This afternoon, while the Xia cavalry from Jimai City swept across the land like the wind, they went far to the southeast, and the sun disappeared behind the drifting clouds.

The mighty troops and horses of the Pochao tribe spread across the winding mud roads on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain.

Under a nearby heavily weathered rock, Pochao Dada, who had just received the armor as a reward from the emperor, was talking to his subordinates in the tribe in the Pochao tribe's own language, probably discussing the plan to encircle Jimaicheng.

"From now on, you all will call me general!" Pochao Dada, riding on his horse, twirling his horse's mane, said to his two subordinates with great dignity, "From now on, we are all military attaches of Daliang, not members of the tribe. Chief, you will also have this armor of mine in the future."

The two subordinates on his left and right were brave men from the tribe, but they were still wearing leather armor sewn by women in the tribe. Compared with the standard iron armor and military uniforms of the Liang Kingdom, they looked extremely shabby.

The two of them looked at the armor and cloak on Dachao Dada with envy.

"Head... General, don't worry, I will fight hard this time and chop off a few more Xia people's heads!"

"If you say so, I will let you go..." Pochao Dada said with a smile while holding a mace. In the middle of his words, a scout came back in his eyes, and then he jumped on his horse and ran straight towards him. Kneel down in front of you.

"Head... General Qi, Xia cavalry has been spotted ahead."

Just now we were talking about people from the Xia Kingdom, but they came out unexpectedly. Dada asked with some interest: "How many people are there?"

"There are only a few dozen cavalrymen serving as their scouts, but the weapons in their hands are heavy... quite weird!"

heavy troops?

None of the scouts carry heavy troops. Even the cavalry mostly have spears and other weapons suitable for charging into battle.

do not care.

Send someone up to take a look first.

After a moment, he issued an order to assemble a cavalry team of [-] people, and then tested the front, and then continued to lead the main force along the planned route.

Not long after, [-] of the [-] cavalrymen returned, and the other [-] were killed in a fight with the opponent.

The death of more than a dozen people was nothing in the eyes of Pochao Dada. After all, the equipment was too different and the Xia people were extremely cunning. All they had to do was drive them away.

"Send the order to speed up. The Xia people's generals will know our location soon!"

The moment the surrounding tribal warriors heard these words, they reflexively straightened their backs on horseback and said loudly: "Yes."

On the way forward, tribes of all sizes have moved away from the land that originally belonged to the Fangdang tribe, but occasionally one or two smelly and swollen corpses can be seen in the grass, with flies buzzing around. .

From the style of his robe, it can be seen that he is from the Fangdang tribe.

It will be dark.

The soldiers and horses marched meanderingly, and frightened birds flew out of the forest in front with fluttering wings. The front army realized the sudden change in the atmosphere and stopped. The strange atmosphere was like ripples on the water and spread to the rear of the team. The army itself I am quite sensitive to such an atmosphere, especially during wartime.

"Send more scouts to search the surrounding areas!" When Pochao Dada was in Dadu, he had read some military books from the Central Plains. At this time, he felt that the atmosphere was a little subtle, so he quickly asked the team in front to stop.

Just as he was giving a few orders with a frown, a shrill scream suddenly sounded from behind the team in the red sunset light.

Pochao Dada hurriedly turned his horse's head, his eyes suddenly widened, he pulled his horse forward and shouted: "Formation——" The horns in the tribe sounded, and the team on the winding dirt road at the foot of the mountain began to form according to the formation they practiced on weekdays. However, the military formation was still a bit unfamiliar. In the panic, many people could not find their positions.

However, at this time, the chaos, shouts, and screams coming from the team behind became more and more intensive. Dada turned over and dismounted, ran up to the high ground, and looked to the rear. A large number of cavalry poured out of the forest in front, heading towards this place. Edge began to increase his sprint.

Under the dim skylight, two thousand cavalry spread like a tide and had already entered the rear team.

"Xia Kingdom Cavalry——"

"——Enemy attack!!!" Among the complex and high-pitched orders, many people also used tribal words and shouted instinctively.

The front team was turning around, and another group of tribal soldiers on the mountainside were rushing down. However, the Xia cavalry who attacked the rear team cut through the long snake-like tribal soldiers like waves. There was blood flying everywhere, which was shocking.

But in the next second, the Xia cavalry who had penetrated the rear team turned around at the foot of the mountain and roared toward the rear.

Standing high up, Pochao Dada's eyes widened: "Follow them! Chase them! Don't let them run away!"

He clenched his fists and screamed angrily. He was beaten for no apparent reason. The soldiers and horses he had just assembled had not yet tested the effectiveness. The opponent hit him and ran away. It really made him feel aggrieved.

The [-]-man tribal cavalry that was gathered first followed closely behind and roared forward, chasing the Xia cavalry and quickly disappeared on the mountain road.

The Xia cavalry running forward on the mountain road suddenly stopped in sight of the Puchou tribe cavalry chasing after them. They all turned around on the spot. A figure in green robes and golden armor rode a charcoal-red war horse. Carrying a green dragon sword, he slowly descended the gentle slope of the mountainside and came to the front of the riders.

Guan Yu slightly raised the blade of his sword, and two long rows of cavalry behind him raised their swords.

"Kill!" Between his beard and beard, Guan Yu opened his lips lightly and said the word coldly. The moment he said this word, two thousand tiger cavalry clapped their swords and leapt out of the horse, directly charging into the beggar-like tribal cavalry in front.

Less than half a stick of incense was left, and corpses of direct killings littered the field. The chasing tribe cavalry left more than [-] people behind, turned around and fled back.

Soon, Pochao Dada received the battle report, and immediately stopped the route of his troops and horses, and searched for the cavalry with all his strength.

However, what he didn't know was that Guan Yu had already turned around and advanced toward the northeast, killing the remaining Fangdang tribe.

In a place where Puchiao Dada could not see, war horses ran wildly, swords were waving in the crowd, heads were rolling, and the colliding horses plowed the ground with their iron hoofs, carving out roads paved with blood.

In the past few days, this [-]-strong cavalry team has been running back and forth, picking out the weak points of the two tribes, defeating the enemy with one strike, and then leaving after the fight.

It was seven or eight days after the news here reached the southwest.

Fei Tingcangyuan, as the commander of the three tribes, was frowning at the information sent, which was written in the official language of the Liang Kingdom.

Pochao was attacked. A Xia cavalry force, numbering [-] in number, had been making rounds for two days, harassing the army one after another. Now they could only stop their march to be wary of another attack.

The Fangdang tribe was attacked, and the Xia cavalry came from the south. Fangdang Mengyin went out to fight and was killed. The main force did not dare to move and stood still waiting for reinforcements.

"Xia Kingdom Cavalry..." Fei Tingcangyuan frowned even more when he saw the message above. The Xia Kingdom Army that was outflanking Jimaicheng this time was known to the other party in advance. It seemed that the other party had sent this cavalry to make sneak attacks. The two troops wanted to hold them back and encircle them.

At this time, the fat man next to him came over with a few braids swinging, took the information and took a look, and also frowned.

"This is called a delaying tactic...to delay the settlement and outnumber the troops of the two tribes. It will be difficult for us to attack the city with only one of us." The tone of this sturdy fat man was quite confident.

However, I don’t know if the information coming from there is exaggerated. After all, two thousand cavalry are roaming the northwest land, and Fangdang and Pochao tribes are really embarrassing.

What if instead of two thousand cavalry, there were five thousand?
  Considering the weapons and armor of the Xia Kingdom, if there were five thousand such cavalry, Fei Tingcangyuan would still be quite convinced.

Next to him, a general named Yaoshan tore up the information. Seeing Fei Tingcangyuan's surprised look, he whispered: "Destroy the information after reading it. This is a common practice. In the future, You still need to learn more!”

"Yes...really? Then, what should we do next? Rescue Fangdang and Pochao, drive away the Xia cavalry, or surround Maicheng?"

Fei Tingcangyuan actually still wanted to surround Maicheng with troops. In this way, the Xia cavalry that attacked the two tribes would definitely come back for reinforcements, and the siege of Fangdang and Pochao would be easily solved.

But the man in front of him named Yaoshan was sent by Emperor Tuoba Kui, and after listening to his conversation, he had a lot of insights into the tactics of marching and fighting in the Central Plains, so he still wanted to hear his opinion.

"The art of using troops is to surround it by ten, attack it by five, and divide it by doubling it. If the enemy is small, you can fight it. If the enemy is small, you can run away. If you are weak, you can avoid it!" Yaixishan raised his head, as if he had been taught. The old man taught the forty-year-old Feiting tribal leader.

"How can a general who cherishes his soldiers attack a city easily? Otherwise, he will suffer heavy casualties and the gains will outweigh the losses. Also! If your troops are smaller than the enemy, you must retreat. If your troops are weaker than the enemy, you must avoid frontal fighting!"

Fei Tingcangyuan was confused when he heard it. He didn't quite understand the meaning of these words, but he felt that what Yaoshan said was quite reasonable.

"Do you understand now?"

Yaoshan looked at him with a smile on his fat, round face, but he was saying in his heart: 'I can't fool you to death! ’

Just when Fei Tingcangyuan seemed to understand and nodded blankly and said: "I understand," another battle report came one after another, but it was completely different from the previous one. Xia Cavalry appeared to the east of them. Fifty miles away.

This shocked Yaixishan.

He knows who leads this cavalry. After all, there is only one commander in Jimai City, Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, the enemy of ten thousand people. If he appears here.

What if one kills him too?
  At this time, the other party appeared in Langyan Mountain, fifty miles away, attacking some tribes that did not want to move away. In such a clear and unobstructed way, it seemed that he was telling the Feiting tribe here that he was going to kill him, and you would be next.

As soon as this information spread, the people under Fei Tingcang Yuan's command immediately exploded, clamoring to make this Xia cavalry look good.

But then they fell into silence where no one spoke. Previously, they wanted to rescue Fangdang and Pochao tribes, but now the other tribes came directly to kill them, and their whereabouts were directly exposed.

This approach was completely difficult for them to understand. For a while, everyone was hesitating and thinking about what the other party was going to do. Will they really kill him next?

"Yaixishan...what do you think should be done about this matter?"

Fei Tingcangyuan's brain was a little exhausted, so he turned his head and looked at the chubby fat man next to him.
