Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 690 Zhang Liao Cheng Lian: On Hebei Cavalry and Donghu Cavalry

On the third day after Gao Shun's Xianchen Camp, Xu Rong's Feixiong Army and Sima Yi's 10,000 new troops set out, Zhang Sui led his large army to march towards Baideng.

When we arrived in Baideng, it was already September 22nd.

The total number of troops Zhang Sui brought to Baideng this time was about 20,000.

Zhang Liao led 800 personal soldiers as the vanguard.

Qian Zhao led 5,000 new troops as the vanguard.

Zhang He led 10,000 new troops as the central army.

Chen Dao led three thousand new troops as the rear army.

Cheng Lian led 1,500 Flying Tigers as the left wing.

Zhang Sui, Liu Ye and Tian Chou, with fifty personal soldiers and one hundred Tiger Guards, were stationed at the rear of the army.

When they arrived at Baideng City, Zhang Sui led his generals to climb the city wall.

Looking around, Zhang Sui was also quite excited.

Baiden!

This is the place where Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, was besieged by the Xiongnu Chanyu, Maodun!
Bai Deng Duwei explained to Zhang Sui and others: "General, it's a coincidence."

"The founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu, was once besieged by the Xiongnu Chanyu Maodun here."

"This time, the general and Wuhuan King Tadun have an appointment to fight here."

"The general represents our Han people."

"It is said that Tadun has always regarded Maodun as his idol and worshipped him every day."

As soon as Captain Baideng opened his mouth to speak, he stopped awkwardly.

He suddenly realized that what he said seemed a little inappropriate.

Because Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang tried every possible means to deal with the Xiongnu Chanyu Maodun, and finally adopted the strategy of bribing Maodun's wife to make the Xiongnu withdraw.

Moreover, for a long time afterwards, the Han Dynasty avoided the strategy of using force to fight the Huns and chose the path of sending daughters to marry, which was truly humiliating.

Zhang Sui glanced at Captain Baideng and just smiled.

He won't be angry.

This moment, that moment.

Moreover, he is not Emperor Gaozu of Han.

Under the leadership of the Baideng Commander, Zhang Sui inspected the entire Baideng Patrol.

On September 28th, the Donghu army from the three counties of Wuhuan finally arrived from the direction of Shanggu.

At a glance, it's all over the mountains.

As soon as the Donghu army arrived, Captain Baideng immediately sent someone to notify Zhang Sui and others.

When Zhang Sui, accompanied by Liu Ye, Zhang He, Qian Zhao, Cheng Lian, Tian Chou, Zhang Liao, Chen Dao, Shi A and others, rushed to the city wall, they saw that the Donghu army had stopped less than five miles east of Baideng City and began to set up camp.

Chen Dao pointed to the army on the left side outside the city and said in amazement, "They are indeed Donghu people."

"This cavalry has at least 10,000 people."

"We in Hebei cannot raise 10,000 cavalrymen."

“Even if we set it up, we can’t afford to support it.”

Qian Zhao glanced at Chen Dao and said with a smile, "It's different."

"The Donghu people were mainly nomadic."

"War horses are also extremely precious resources for them."

“Therefore, although every household has a war horse, a family usually only has one war horse as its main possession.”

"The son takes the place of the father."

"Also, due to the lack of mineral deposits, their weapons are mainly scimitars and short swords."

"In comparison, our cavalry in Hebei are all standard."

"Take the Flying Tigers for example. They all have the standard one-man-three-horse model."

"The three war horses are all Dayuan horses, which are the best quality horses."

"The Flying Tigers' equipment is also standard, with a long-handled weapon, a ring-handled sword, and a bow and arrow."

"It's really a one-on-one fight. Our Hebei cavalry won easily."

"It's just that you don't fight alone on the battlefield."

Looking at Zhang Sui, Qian Zhao said, "My lord, please be careful when the two armies start fighting on October 1st."

"Although our soldiers are indeed more capable in individual combat, the enemy cavalry has the advantage because they outnumber them several times."

"Depending on their high speed, they may be able to get around to the rear." "In the past two years, General Zhang and I have led our troops to fight against the Donghu people, and we have often encountered this situation."

"In the past, in order to avoid this kind of disadvantage, we always ordered our soldiers to stay within thirty miles of the city."

"Once the Donghu troops try to outflank us from the rear, our soldiers who have been prepared in the city will push their chariots out immediately to delay the speed of the enemy cavalry, so that the soldiers who leave the city can retreat to the city in an orderly manner."

Zhang Sui nodded.

When it comes to dealing with the Donghu people, he was more willing to trust the ideas of Zhang He and Qian Zhao, who had been stationed at the border for many years.

Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian stood together, pointing at the cavalry camps of the Wuhuan in the three counties.

After a while, Zhang Liao said to Zhang Sui, "My lord, General Cheng and I just discussed this."

"The enemy's cavalry number at least 10,000, which is far greater than our numbers."

"But their war horses are definitely not as good as ours."

"In a battle on flat ground, the quality of the warhorse is not obvious."

"If we can move the battlefield to the mountains, our war horses are mainly Dayuan horses, and their endurance is definitely far greater than that of the enemy cavalry's war horses."

“If we can charge down the mountain, these Donghu cavalry will definitely be in trouble.”

Cheng Lian also said: "If possible, my lord, lead the main force to pretend to be defeated and lure the enemy to the foothills of Yanshan Mountain. Zhang Liao and I will lead the Vanguard Army and the Flying Tiger Army to ambush on the mountain."

"only--"

Everyone looked at Cheng Lian in confusion.

Cheng Lian looked at Zhang Sui and said, "I heard that the Wuhuan King Tadun is very resourceful and is not an ordinary military commander."

"If I use a trick of feigning defeat, he will easily see through it. I'm afraid he is not that easily fooled."

Everyone looked at Zhang Sui again.

Zhang Sui scratched his face.

This group of men is really enough.

He always sets his sights on his lord!

If Ju Shou and Chen Deng were here, they would definitely criticize and persecute these generals to death.

But who made them not here?
Zhang Sui looked at the rear army general Chen Dao, the personal guard commander Zhao Qin, and the Tiger Guard commander Shi Adao and said, "I'll be in trouble when the time comes."

Chen Dao, Zhao Qin and Shi A all said: "We are willing to go through fire and water for our lord!"

Zhang Sui then looked at Cheng Lian and Zhang Liao and said, "Then use your strategy to lure them to the foothills of Yanshan Mountain. You will be responsible for the ambush and kill them by surprise."

"If you lose--"

Zhang Sui said sinisterly: "You are dead!"

"Use your lord as bait and put your lord in danger."

"Imagine how angry Ju Gong and his men will be when they find out what you did!"

"You won, so it's easier to talk about it."

Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian looked at each other and smiled awkwardly.

Zhang He asked worriedly, "Do you want me to come?"

Qian Zhao said: "The lord is the bait, so he is more attractive."

"Although General Zhang is of noble status, his effect is far inferior to that of the lord of Hebei being beheaded."

Looking at Zhang Sui, Qian Zhao said, "At that time, General Zhang and I will also lead the elite troops and keep a certain distance from the lord."

"If the lord is really in danger, we will protect him even if our bones are broken into pieces."

Liu Ye stroked the Mo Dao in his arms and said to Zhang Sui with a smile, "My lord, why should you be afraid? My lord, you have the courage of Lu Bu, and you are also a disciple of Xuzhou Mutian Gong, so you have extraordinary wisdom and strategy."

"Today's battle will let the barbarians see the bravery of our lord."

"After this battle, let the world spread the news that the humiliation of Emperor Gaozu can be avenged in ten generations!"

"My lord, you have used the great general's precious body to accomplish unprecedented feats, and this is the will of heaven."

"Who dares not to obey?"

When everyone heard what Liu Ye said, they all agreed.

Zhang Sui looked at Liu Ye with a rather strange expression.

Is it destiny?

The descendants of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu are so bold!

If it were Liu Bei, he would probably want to stab himself in the back!
