Chapter 186 The Turkic Trick
It was already a bit chilly at midnight in autumn, and [-] elite cavalry armed to the teeth gathered at the north gate of Jinyang.There is no crowding and noise as imagined, and there is no swearing-in meeting where everyone has a bowl of Zhuangxing wine.Li Xiaogong just shook the torch in his hand three times, and eight hundred knights rushed out of Jinyang City like the wind.

No one neighed, only the sound of hooves.When passing by Yunjiazhuangzi, a long motorcade merged into the queue like a tributary.

In the carriage where Yunhao was sitting, he had learned to ride a horse after years of training.But he doesn't like to ride, this thing will have bowed legs after riding for a long time.Li Er, Li Xiaogong, and Li Xiaosan and Li Xiaosi of the Li family are all bow-legged.It was so ugly to walk, Yun Hao didn't want to look like them.

The carriage compartment is not as spacious as the carriage compartment of the ox cart, but the shock absorption system that Yun Hao worked out can still guarantee the comfort of the carriage.Steel plates are added to the interlayer of the carriage, and there are sharp edges on both sides of the axle.Even the windows are equipped with iron bars.Chu Yuan and his son sat on the shaft of the chariot, holding two exaggerated crossbows in their hands.

The crossbow machine is a terrifying killing machine manufactured by Yunhao according to the principles of ergonomics and mechanics.The arms of the crossbow were made of pure steel, and the strings of the crossbow were the sinews of an animal that Chu Yuan and his father did not know where to get them.It's so tough that you can't push the crossbow open with your feet.You can only use the rocker arm to shake the winding quickly, although it is slower but powerful.

When it was successfully manufactured, the target 450 steps away was actually pierced.Yun Hao didn't think that the armor of this year could block the triangular arrows fired by this thing.

It's a pity that the tendons of that animal are very difficult to get.A total of two crossbows have been produced, and small-scale operations can still show their power.If it is fought on a large scale, this thing will become a one-time weapon.

As for Qi Biao and Lai Shun'er, they were sitting in the last cart full of medicinal herbs.The strong smell of medicine made the passing cavalry look sideways.These two guys have learned a lot from Zhang Wenzhong in the past two years, and Yunhao taught them some hygiene knowledge for future generations.They have become two rising stars in Jinyang's medical field, but these two guys are studying medical knowledge assiduously.Obviously there is no less research on the anatomy of the human body, especially that of women.It is said that the Chunxiang Building in Jinyang, these two are regular customers.And every time, they still say to see a doctor.

Sometimes Yunhao is very suspicious. The research direction of these two guys seems to be gynecology.

Qi Biao is not very tall, and it is obvious that this guy's nutrition is used to grow his mind.Lai Shun'er is tall and burly, over two meters tall.Standing there in the dark like a half iron tower, with lumpy muscles, he was on par with Wu Yunzhao back then.

It would be even more ridiculous if the two brothers put on armor.Qi Biao looked like a monkey general, while Lai Shun'er didn't have a suitable armor and could only wear one size smaller.It still looks like a monkey, no matter how you look at it, how awkward.But there is no way, in the army, his head is generally a little bit high.Fighting wars these days is actually not that fancy.The fierce general with thick arms and strong legs, who can run a horse on his thighs and stand on his fists, is still the main force on the battlefield.

People's armor is custom-made, and many of them are passed down from their ancestors.In such a short time, I want to get a pair of armor for Lai Shun'er.That was simply a fantasy. Even if Yun Hao went to find Li Er, he couldn't solve it in the end.

In addition to the food and supplies on the cart, the drivers who pull the cart each have a crossbow and a spear.Li Er also equipped each of them with a pair of leather armor, which gave them more or less combat effectiveness.Although not strong, at least it is not a lamb to be slaughtered.

There were three carriages wrapped tightly in black cloth, and no one knew what was inside.When Li Xiaogong asked, Yun Hao just smiled and said: "Don't say it, don't say it." Li Xiaogong was so angry that he wanted to beat him.

Yun Hao sat in the carriage, lying on an unbelievably comfortable soft couch.If it wasn't for her resolute refusal, there should still be Yuan'er or Xin'er serving in the carriage.Although Yunhao likes to enjoy himself, he is out to fight after all.Out of a bunch of military men, a beautiful woman is produced, and the morale of the army is even more important.

There were Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong marching along the way, Yun Hao didn't even bother to intervene.Even if he intervened, no one would listen to him. How could a hundred warriors who had come down from the battlefield listen to a young chick?

Such a large-scale cavalry existed in all directions in the Sui Dynasty.Although all the Eight Pillars have Xianbei blood, it is hard to find war horses.In the Sui Dynasty, the cavalry was still extremely precious.The [-] elite cavalry that Li Er sent out this time is the wealth accumulated by the Li family over the years.What Li Er hugged was that even if he couldn't beat him, it would be no problem to run back.

Along the way, I met some refugees from Mayi fleeing southward, but there were not many of them.After inquiring with them, I found out that the Turks did not attack Mayi.Instead, they are attacking the Great Wall outside Mayi. These refugees are all poor farmers on the edge of the Great Wall.When he arrived in Mayi, he was also a refugee, so he simply fled to Jinyang.Not to mention safety, it is easier to live in a big city.

Yun Hao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Ma Yi hadn't been besieged yet.At least when you arrive in Mayi, you don't have to go through too many battles.However, Li Xiaogong's face changed drastically, and after whispering to Li Daozong, he got into Yunhao's carriage.

"You said that the Turkic people intended to lure Wang Wei to deploy heavy troops along the Great Wall. Then, attack Mayi?" Yun Hao looked at Li Xiaogong and asked in confusion.The Great Wall can't be broken, how the hell are you going to attack Mayi?Could it be that the Turkic people ride horses or unicorns and all of them can fly?

"The Great Wall is a defensive line, and the battle line is very long. If there are too many troops stationed on the Great Wall, the Turks only need to break through a little. It will turn the entire Great Wall defense line into a useless defense line. The strength of infantry lies in city defense. And cavalry Their strength lies in field battles...!"

"You mean, once the Turks break through the Great Wall, even if they attack Mayi, the defenders of the Great Wall can only watch. Because they dare not come out to fight in the field?" Li Xiaogong said, Yun Hao understood.

"Not only that, if the Turkic people have enough appetite, they will attack the Great Wall defense line from front to back, then cut the entire defense line into several sections, and use the weakness of the infantry to move slowly to divide and wipe them out." Li Daozong added.

"Turks have such a big appetite?" Yun Hao was stunned by Li Daozong's words, if that was the case.Then you have to speed up the process, otherwise you will be chased by the Turks. 800 people protect 10,000+ people, no matter how you look at it, it is an impossible task.

"It depends on what the Turkic Khan wants to do, because this will also bring certain casualties to the Turkic people. After all, their horses cannot charge up the city wall. And defending the city is the strength of the infantry."

"In your opinion, how long can Wang Wei last? Or, when Turkic Khan wants to attack." Yun Hao asked, biting his lip.

"It's hard to say, it depends on how many people General Wang Wei has on the Great Wall defense line. The Turks just want to take out the defensive power of Mayi and reduce the difficulty of attacking Mayi. After all, Mayi is an important military town. If the Turkic people want to forcefully take it down, they will have to spend a lot of effort." Li Xiaogong said after thinking for a while.

"Then let's not camp at night, and go to ride horses and follow the cavalry. The luggage will stay behind, and we will rush to Mayi. It will take a few days to mobilize the people to move south. I hope Wang Weina's idiots don't crush everyone on the Great Wall. Above." Yun Hao thought for a while and said.

"For the current plan, that's the only way."
