The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 492
"Veterinarian?" A little doubt appeared on Yuan Shang's fair face. He looked up and down at the thin and small cavalryman and said, "Veterinarian, what's the use?"

Xia Houyuan said solemnly: "What is the biggest support for a thousand-mile raid? War horses! The battle line is extremely long, almost cut off from the rear, and there is no supply. If the war horse falls down on the way, people will only have a dead end. Therefore, the cavalry of the expeditionary force, among them There must be veterinarians and human doctors to complement each other to ensure maximum combat power and horse endurance..."

Yuan Shang nodded suddenly when he heard the words, and said: "Looking at this rushing cavalry, it is not the same as ordinary cavalry."

Xia Houyuan casually pointed at another soldier and said, "Tell my lord, what did you do before joining the army?"

The soldier was black and thin. Hearing this, he gave an exaggerated military salute to Yuan Shang, and replied loudly: "My lord! The last general originally sent goods from Bingzhou to the Central Plains!"

Yuan Shang frowned, and turned to look at Xia Houyuan curiously...

Xia Houyuan said: "The world is not peaceful, thieves are rampant, and smoke is everywhere. The most difficult thing is these traders who rely on goods to live. On the way they transport goods, they not only have to avoid thieves, but also avoid soldiers. Time is far stronger than the regular army, this is a must-have talent in the raiding army!"

Yuan Shang nodded, then pointed to a fat man next to the thin and tall soldier, and said, "What did you do before joining the army?"

The soldier raised his head and said: "Reporting to my lord, the villain is not from the local area. When I was young, I was fishing in my hometown, the East China Sea!"

"A fisherman?" Yuan Shang turned his head curiously, and looked at Xia Houyuan beside him: "What can a fisherman do in the army?"

Xia Houyuan said: "The problem is that he is not an ordinary river fisherman, but a sea fisherman. The sea is endless, and the temperature and stars are the best skills for a sea fisherman to distinguish the direction! Because the fisherman is not just fishing during the day, for various reasons they are in the sea. They also drift on the sea at night, so stargazing is their special skill...the ability to use astrology to tell the direction is a must in the raiding army."

Yuan Shang couldn't help giving Xia Houyuan a thumbs up when he heard the words, and praised: "Father-in-law, you are so professional!"

After finishing speaking, Yuan Shang turned his head, pointed at a sturdy sergeant casually, and said, "What did you do before joining the army?"

The sergeant saluted, and said loudly: "Return to my lord, the villain was a fortune teller before joining the army!"

"Fortune-teller?" Yuan Shang blinked, and suddenly realized to Xia Houyuan: "You even summon the fortune-teller here, could it be that you use the theory of providence and fortune-telling to inspire the three armies and boost morale at critical moments?"

Xia Houyuan glanced at Yuan Shang with a strange expression, his eyes were full of inexplicable confusion.

"You're overthinking it. I called him into the army only because of his good physique, and it has nothing to do with fortune-telling!"

Yuan Shang: "..."

When he was young, he saw Yuan Shang came to the general stage. He looked around and looked at the three thousand clusters of heads carefully prepared by Xia Houyuan below.

For these three thousand cavalry, Yuan Shang can be said to have spent all his money. Not only did he let Xia Houyuan choose the personnel he needed in the army, but each of them, Yuan Shang equipped them with two horses as a replacement for the raid. It can be said that the three Once Qian Tuqi sent out to attack Fanghan, there would be almost no cavalry in the army led by Yuan Shang.

But no matter what, Yuan Shang feels that it is worthwhile to do so. Currently, in the Chinese army under his command, there is the Huishuang Battalion, an elite guard army left by his father Yuan Shao, and the elite crossbow fighters led by Guo Huai, who ascended the army first. There are Qingqi Promise Battalion, the number one fighter in the world, the Xiliang Majia iron cavalry who are good at charging, the white horse righteous who is strong in mobile riding and shooting, and the euphorbia warriors with excellent defense power... and so on, they can almost deal with all kinds of war situations. , Playing all kinds of smart tactics, but only lacks an expeditionary army and a navy that are good at running raids!
At this moment, the right time, place and people are in harmony, and this rushing cavalry army is about to be born here.

Three thousand knights are standing in front of him at this moment, lined up neatly, standing quietly in the school grounds, but in the end, how many of them can come back?
The sky is full of yellow sand, billowing wind and dust, even if Xia Houyuan has done sufficient training and preparation, how many of these soldiers will survive in the end after such a rare expedition?

Expedition and raid is the cruelest battle, and it is also the strongest test of personal perseverance. Those who can persevere are undoubtedly the heroes of men, and the warriors of warriors!However, how much blood will be shed in this?How many lives were sacrificed!Even... none of them may come back!
Thinking of this, Yuan Shang couldn't help trembling a little. The bet this time was too big. The bet was not only the strategic gain or loss, precious horses, scarce supplies... but also the lives of three thousand bloody elite soldiers!
Biting his lip, Yuan Shang stabilized his turbulent mind, and facing the three thousand simple and resolute faces, he opened his mouth and shouted: "It's time to go on an expedition!"

3000 people fell silent.

"Are you afraid?"

Three thousand soldiers shouted in unison: "Don't be afraid!"

Yuan Shang sighed, and said: "You are not afraid, but I am afraid! You are my soldiers, my subordinates, my brothers! You are the pillars of our army! I have 1 people who are reluctant, but You can't do it!"

Yuan Shang pointed to the land under his feet, raised his voice and continued: "330 years ago, the champion Hou Huo Qubing started from here, went straight to Longxi, and recovered the land of Hexi, so that there were no Xiongnu in the west of Hanyi! Today, we must follow the example of the sages, once again Starting from here, cross the land of Longxi, and go far to the head of the river! Defeat the rebellious king! Protect me in Guanzhong!"

"Destroy the anti-king, protect me in Guanzhong!"

"Destroy the anti-king, protect me in Guanzhong!"

"........."

Yuan Shang quietly looked at their hot-blooded faces, and said with emotion: "Maybe all of you will die!"

"Death without regret!" The soldiers of the three armies shouted in unison.

"Okay!" Yuan Shang nodded heavily, and said: "Now, I will give you names. Back then, Huo Qubing made a long-distance raid, marched two thousand miles north, wiped out [-] enemies, and killed [-] enemies. Forced to the vast sea, the Xiongnu fled far away, and there was no royal court in Monan! ——'Sealing the wolf to live in Xu' is the greatest achievement of Huo Huqi's life, and you, today, bear this prestigious name! The name is 'Sealing the Wolf'! "

After finishing speaking, I saw that I drew out my sword and raised it high to point to the sky.

"Seal the wolf army! Seal the wolf and suddenly ride!"

Pointing to the audience, the passionate [-] expeditionary army was suddenly dumbfounded, and their momentum was obviously falling down.

"Crazy wolf?"

A hint of anger flashed across Xia Houyuan's face.

Listen to the name this bastard gave, Huo Qubing 'Feng Lang Ju Xu', you just stick the name on your face? ... and 'Mad Wolf Army', why don't you call it 'Mad Dog'?
But Yuan Shang had already uttered his words in front of the three armies, and Xia Houyuan's refutation at this time would obviously slap him in the face. It doesn't matter if he loses face, the morale of the sons and daughters will be lost, but it will be irreversible...

Xia Houyuan raised his hand helplessly, and he seemed to be vigorous, but in reality he cried out in a weak voice.

"Long live the Crazy Wolf Army!"

The soldiers shouted: "Long live the Crazy Wolf Army!"

"Crazy wolf riding suddenly will win!"

The soldiers greeted: "Crazy wolf riding suddenly will win!"

"Crazy wolf riding is invincible!"

"The mad wolf is invincible!"

"Crazy wolves... Crazy wolves..." Xia Houyuan's face was sad, and he couldn't utter any slogans. He lifted his hands down angrily, and said weakly: "Crazy wolves, we will make meals at the third watch tomorrow. Let's send more troops across the western border and reach the enemy city of Fanghan!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Yuan Shang walked to Xia Houyuan's side, and came to the side of Ma Dai, the deputy he had arranged for Xia Houyuan.

"Ma Dai?"

Ma Dai hastily asked in a low voice: "Master?"

"Fenglang Tuqi will be established from today. Xia Houyuan is the chief general and you are the deputy general. But you have the power to make decisions on the fly. Remember to be more considerate."

Ma Dai bowed his head and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will understand in the end!"
Yuan Shang nodded and said: "Also, this army is different from ordinary soldiers, and cannot be restrained by ordinary methods... For this expedition, as long as it does not exceed the bottom line, I tacitly allow them to plunder. Disturbing the people...but remember, it's the kind that doesn't exceed the bottom line."

Ma Dai hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "My lord, don't worry, I will understand, I will have a degree on this matter."

*********************
Under the leadership of Xia Houyuan and Ma Dai, the [-] Fenglangtu Cavalry Army embarked on a crossing journey to the west and penetrated behind the enemy's rear.

Their goal is very clear, in Song Jian's lair far away in the Heshou area——Fanghan!
And at this time, there was another army targeting another den of thieves, Yan Xing's lair, Jincheng!

And the troops aiming at Jincheng are the ambush army of Ma Teng and Wen Hui!

Dunhuang is the westernmost county in the Han Dynasty and the gateway to the Western Regions. It has always been an important town on the Silk Road.

The Sanwei Mountain with steep peaks and rocks in the east, the majestic Qilian Mountains in the south, the vast Taklamakan Desert in the west, and the rugged Beisai Mountain in the north.

This is the westernmost place in the Han Dynasty. For some Qiang and Hu people, Dunhuang, which is located in the desert, symbolizes mystery and prosperity, but for the Han people, Dunhuang is like a barren land. Since ancient times, except for Except for the troops stationed on the border, only prisoners would be dispatched to this kind of frontier place.

But today, in order to avoid Yan Xing's eyes and ears, Ma Teng gathered the defeated army and came here to station in the desert. Thanks to his long-term residence in Xizhou, he has a wide network of contacts, and the garrison did not starve to death in this desert. .

However, several Qiang tribes, including King Di Agui and Yang Wanwan, kept providing food and fodder to Ma Teng out of friendship.

However, this period of difficult and difficult days has finally passed. Today, Ma Teng is finally ready to raise troops, go to Jiuquan County and return to Liangzhou, and go straight to Jincheng, vowing to conquer the den of thieves and rescue Zhao Yun.
