surnamed Wang

Chapter 64
North Turkistan has [-] cavalry, but most of them are in the hands of General Hadam.As a former general of Beiyuan, Hadam was merged into Beitu along with the remnants of Beiyuan forces. He has an arrogant attitude and has always been only responsible for garrisoning, not obeying orders, let alone sending out [-] troops easily.

Beitu people are good at riding and shooting, but not everyone is qualified to be called cavalry. First of all, the army has high requirements for war horses. Speed, strength and endurance are indispensable. Horses that meet this requirement are already one in a hundred. The requirements for war horses are more stringent than ordinary military horses, which is why there are only [-] cavalry in the entire North Turkistan.

Fifty thousand sounds like a lot, but compared with the hundreds of thousands of infantry, it is still far behind.

But from another perspective, the amazing combat power of the Northern Turkistan cavalry is also inseparable from their strict and almost perverted horse standards.

Of the [-] cavalry in Beitu, except for the [-] in Hadam's hands, the remaining [-] were scattered among other troops to coordinate with the infantry in combat. Now Beitu has released [-] cavalry successively. It is not necessary to think that it is Hadam's soldiers and horses. .

"Hadamu's soldiers and horses were not watched by Yan Hanhai, why did they come to Chijinwei for no reason?"

Wang Bingxian frowned and asked, but none of the officials present dared to answer.No matter what the reason, the general didn't know about the change of the enemy's 2 troops.

The new emperor glanced around and saw no response from these old fritters. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and then said:

"No matter what the reason is, first let Yan Hanhai lead his troops to reinforce Chijin Guard, and then go together with Chijin Guard's soldiers to cut off Agudamu's retreat."

Before the order was conveyed, the familiar scene happened again:
"Report!" No.3 postman rushed to the hall.

"Where did Beitu attack again?"

No matter how good-tempered Wang Bingxian is, he would go crazy. The North Turkistan army is full of gangs, and the internal fighting is endless. And this Agudam has integrated the North Turkistan army and attacked the Central Plains in less than a month. For a month, he was restricted by people everywhere, and he could only do the work of repairing a dead sheep.In contrast, Wang Bingxian was inevitably a little frustrated.

The postman was very surprised, and couldn't help secretly praising in his heart, the emperor is worthy of being the emperor, and he knew it was the northern sudden attack without asking. It is estimated that the emperor knew what was in his heart, and he wanted to die.

"Your Majesty, [-] Beitu troops surrounded Xishan Xingdusi, and set up bows and crossbows on the periphery, encircling but not attacking."

At this moment, Wang Bingxian, who had already opened the border defense map, could not help but gasp. To the south of Liangzhouwei was the Great Wall, and to the north was the Qilian Mountains. If you want to support the Chijin Guard, you can only go through the Xishan Xingdusi. There are not many things that can restrain the cavalry, and the bow and crossbow happen to be one of them.

Beitu's move was undoubtedly to prevent Yan Hanhai from leading cavalry westward for support.

Yan Hanhai is a fierce general. With less than [-] cavalry in his hand, he can restrain Hadamu's nearly [-] cavalry, making him dare not go beyond the promulgation for five years. His ability to lead troops has to be admired. , but at this moment he is like an ant on a hot pan.

Just two days ago, Hadam's troops suddenly started an exercise, the momentum was extremely large, the sound of iron hooves shook the sky, and thick smoke billowed above the battlefield. Naturally, Yan Chenhai was not afraid, but was happy to see them consume food and grass, but the exercise continued until evening He felt more and more that something was wrong, didn't the war horse need to be fed after practicing for so long?
At night, Yan Hanhai sent several scouts to investigate the enemy's situation, and got a shocking news: the enemy's current soldiers and horses were less than five thousand, and the grandeur during the day was just pretending. They tied branches to the horse's tail and splashed all over the sky. Dust is used to block the line of sight, and the sound of horseshoes is also artificially forged.

Yan Hanhai, who finally came to his senses, hurriedly spread out the map. Years of combat experience told him that Hadam's move was extremely risky, and he definitely wanted a quick victory.

To the west of Liangzhouwei is Chijinwei, and to the east is Xining Zhongwei. The opponent is very likely to send cavalry to these two places, so Yan Hanhai hastily ordered his scouts to divide into two groups, one to the west and the other to the east, until The next afternoon, the two scouts returned one after another.

"General, I have traveled all the way to Xining Zhongwei, and there is nothing unusual."

"General, Chijinwei has been surrounded by the North Turkistan army."

"Sure enough, it's a good way to hide the truth!" Yan Hanhai slapped the table, "Order to gather and march into the Chijin Guard!"

The [-] army was quickly assembled, and Yan Hanhai stood on his horse in armor, "Let's go!" The army rushed west in response, and there was no other noise except for the sound of neat iron hooves.At this moment, he only felt anxious in his heart. This delay of the military plane would inevitably be punished, so he could only work hard to reduce the loss.

On the way ahead, Yan Hanhai did not forget to glance at his younger sister, "Rongrong, this mission is very dangerous, so I told you not to follow."

Yan Rongrong pouted dissatisfiedly: "Brother, I am no longer a child, and I also have a military position."

Looking at Yan Rongrong's mountain armor that only a hundred households are qualified to wear, Yan Hanhai didn't say anything, and turned to look forward.

The [-] soldiers and horses headed west all the way, except for a break in the middle, the rest of the time was spent on the road.After galloping for a day and a night, they finally arrived at the periphery of Chijinwei.

At this time, outside the walls of the Chijin Guard City, the North Turkistan army had already been surrounded in darkness. The North Turkistan army was easy to identify. Because of the lack of cloth, they usually wore animal skins. As a nomad, they could not leave their bows.

And this is also the most difficult part. The North Turkistan army has a bow and a scimitar, and the bow is the natural enemy of the cavalry. Now the [-] North Turkistan soldiers are waiting in full force, obviously waiting for the [-] cavalrymen from Yan Hanhai.

The dust raised by the [-] horses quickly attracted the attention of the Beitu scouts. After the news reached the Beitu camp, the [-] Beitu army immediately changed their formation and formed an echelon. Aim the arrow at the east.

Yan Hanhai saw the enemy's movements from a long distance, and immediately stopped the horses to keep his side out of range.

Although no infantry could withstand a round of collision, no cavalry could withstand several rounds of volleys. There was a plain between the two sides, and no matter which side attacked rashly, it would lose its upper hand.

"Brother, what should we do?" Yan Rongrong also saw that something was wrong. The opponent even prepared several giant ballistas. The ballista is a weapon that is useless for siege, but it is specially prepared for cavalry.

"Look at the form first to see if you can find an opportunity."

Yan Hanhai was also very helpless, the opponent surrounded Chi Jinwei instead of attacking, but put his bow and arrows outside, making it clear that it was targeting him, since it was targeting him, don't even think about it if he doesn't shed his skin.

"Get off the horse and set up camp!" Yan Hanhai ordered immediately.

The cavalry ran for a day and a night, and both men and horses had reached their limits. Taking a rest would not only restore their strength, but also allow them to relax and wait for work.
