I'm so hard

Chapter 67 The Two Giants Meet

Roar!Roar!Roar!
On the battlefield of the Dazhou military camp, the soldiers are all as imposing as a mountain, practicing hard.

Senior generals such as Zhao Yan, Shen Tuyi, and Yang Hong were studying tactics and strategies in front of the sand table in the military tent.

At present, the Great Zhou Army and the Northern Mongolian Army are separated by two fortifications, namely the Qingzhou border pass and the Shenzhou border pass.

The pass is the entrance to break through.

There are five passes on the border of Qingzhou, and six passes on the border of Shenzhou.

If the two sides fight, there are basically three ways. First, hide behind the pass and fight a defensive battle; second, rush to the enemy's pass and fight a tough battle; third, agree to a place, line up separately, and then fight each other , also known as confrontational warfare.

In a defensive battle, you can occupy favorable terrain with relatively little loss, but once one of the passes is broken by the opponent's cavalry, it will be dangerous.

To fight a tough battle, you must rely on a strong attack force, often requiring several charges, but if you occupy a pass, it is tantamount to completely destroying the enemy's fortifications.

The third type is a more civilized style of play, which is generally not used in Northern Mongolia.

Relying on the powerful cavalry, Northern Mongolia has always fought tough battles and won many battles, but this time they did not charge immediately, probably because the previous two big victories of the soldiers of the Great Zhou had affected them.

Zhao Yan and others discussed for several days, but they all stayed on one core issue.

How to solve the [-] cavalry in Northern Mongolia?
In this era of cold weapons, the destructive power of the cavalry is too strong. Although there are many infantry in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they cannot fight the cavalry at all.

In addition, after Zhao Yan had seen the [-] cavalry from Northern Mongolia, he had to admit that if the [-] cavalry from Dazhou fought against the [-] cavalry from Northern Mongolia, the chances of winning would be very small.

As a traverser, Zhao Yan naturally knew that the best way to crack cavalry was firearms.

But in this era, there is no such thing at all. The gunpowder used to set off firecrackers has very limited destructive power, and there is no detonating device, so it cannot be used in war at all.

And as a master of economics, he didn't know how to make strong gunpowder at all.

Zhao Yan was very worried.

At present, the morale is good, and there is no shortage of food and grass, but in terms of hard power, it is at a disadvantage.

In the end, what everyone discussed was the most traditional defense method.

If the opponent's cavalry comes to attack, first use a bow and crossbow to control the cavalry, shoot a group of them to death, then use a hook gun to control the enemy, and suppress the speed of the cavalry by hooking the horse's leg; finally, you can only control the cavalry with steps. Whether they win or not depends entirely on their respective strengths.

At this moment, in the northern Mongolian military tent, Ergu was painting with a brush when a burly general ran over and said excitedly: "Commander, our Agula cavalry regiment is back!"

Hearing the word "Agula", Ergu dropped the brush and ran out of the tent.

But at this moment, five thousand cavalry were lined up neatly in a large open space outside the camp.

These five thousand cavalry are completely different from the cavalry of Northern Mongolia, they are heavy cavalry.

Uniform iron chain mail, uniform helmets and broadswords, each has hand crossbows on his arms, and the war horse is also wrapped in exquisite scales.

This kind of equipment can prevent crossbows and hook guns, and has almost no defects except that it cannot run for a long time.

If a confrontation battle is launched on the plain, these [-] heavy cavalry can completely fight against [-], and it is very possible to defeat [-] infantry.

Agula means mountain in the language of Northern Mongolia, which means that this Agula cavalry regiment is like a mountain, and no one can cross it.

Ergu looked at the cavalry regiment that he spent almost a year building, and couldn't help but feel very proud. He looked at the sky and said: "This commander has such cavalry, and the soldiers of Dazhou are completely ants!"

He beckoned, and immediately a counselor came to his side.

"Go and send a letter to Da Zhou. At noon tomorrow, I will meet and chat with the little emperor of Da Zhou." Ergu had long wanted to meet Zhao Yan, and he must ask about the reply letter that was like a ghostly talisman What exactly is written.

In the evening of that day, Zhao Yan received two letters one after the other, one from Ergu, and he wanted to invite Zhao Yan to meet outside the pass between the two sides tomorrow.The other one was an anonymous letter, which detailed the details about the secret weapon of the Northern Mongolian Army, the Agula Cavalry Regiment.

Shen Tuyi and Yang Hong were a little dumbfounded after seeing the detailed information of the Agula Cavalry Regiment. These cavalry are like huge waves, and they have no way to deal with them. As long as they are within their impact range, no matter how powerful they are None of the great Zhou warriors could stop it.

"Your Majesty, you must not go tomorrow. That Ergu is full of tricks, and it is rumored that his force value is extremely high. You must have entered a dangerous situation!"

"Those five former princes are a lesson for the past, His Majesty just ignore him!"

Shen Tuyi and Yang Hong advised at the same time.

Zhao Yan smiled and said: "I must go, if I don't see him, how can I know what bad water is simmering in his stomach!"

"But……"

Zhao Yan waved his hand, "No need to persuade, I am sure that Ergu will not make a move, and I will protect myself well, but you should think about how to deal with the Agula cavalry regiment. If you can't think of a way to break it, we want to It's hard to win!"

Shen Tuyi and Yang Hong couldn't help frowning deeply, this is indeed a big trouble.

……

The next day, around noon.

Zhao Yan was wearing a light white gown, like a handsome scholar, and he had to bring only three attendants, namely Hei Wa, Yue Feipeng and Liu Zhan.

Shen Tuyi and Yang Hong had no choice but to send a thousand elite soldiers to follow far behind to prevent accidents.

After a while, Zhao Yan, who was standing on the wall of the pass, saw a carriage galloping towards him.

Then, a few soldiers jumped down from above, and began to spread a good animal blanket on an open space.

On the animal blanket, there was a table and two chairs. On the chairs were two jugs of wine and four dishes of side dishes. To Zhao Yan's surprise, there was a bottle of freshly picked wild flowers among the drinks and dishes.

Who would have thought that Ergu, the war madman, would have a delicate heart for literature and art.

At this time, a huge carriage drove up, and out came a man wearing a coat of animal skin embroidered with tiger and leopard patterns and with pigtails on his head.

It was Ergu.

Ergu waved his big hand, and all the surrounding soldiers retreated. Then, he looked at Zhao Yan on the top of the pass wall with his hands behind his back.

Zhao Yan smiled lightly, causing the pass to be opened, and then walked towards Ergu.

Heiwa, Yue Feipeng, Liu Zhan and Zhao Yan always kept a distance of 100 meters. If something happened, the three would immediately rescue each other.

After a while, the two monarchs finally met.

Ergu looked at Zhao Yan in amazement, he really couldn't imagine that a single person could govern the Great Zhou so prosperously, and make the common people love him so much.

And Zhao Yan is also very curious about Ergu. With this rough appearance, he looks like someone who does manual labor. Who would have thought that this person is still arty.

Although the painting is not very good.

The two looked at each other, but neither of them spoke first.
