sweeping the world

Chapter 263
Horseshoes are galloping, dust and smoke rise.With three thousand knights and nearly ten thousand horses, they stepped straight towards the more than 2000 people who suddenly encountered the enemy and panicked.

There is no doubt that the three thousand cavalry are the Han army led by Huan Wen, and those soldiers who are panicking are from the manpower gathered by Niu Du.

The Shijie State of Zhao allows private soldiers and does not impose restrictions on private soldiers, which means that how many private soldiers can be raised depends purely on personal strength.But one thing is very strict, that is, once Shihu gives an order, those who have private soldiers must lead their troops to obey the order, or wait for the encirclement and suppression.

In addition, it must be explained that before 342 A.D., the Zhao State of Shijie ordered that the conscription among the people would only be for Hu people (including miscellaneous Hu). People can only participate in the battle by relying on the begging army; after 342 AD, Shihu's conscription counted the Jin people into the central system, and what was even more ruthless was that the previous ten draws or five draws became three draws or one. Five draw three.

Shi Hu ordered the nationwide conscription at the beginning of 342 AD. After the conscription, the states and counties stayed where they were, and they needed to be ordered before they marched to the designated locations.The resulting fact is that the states and counties that have been ordered have enough troops, which are at least 25 times larger than usual.

The troops Niu Du sent out as bait were more than [-] people from the Jin Dynasty and Zahu.

The sound of roaring horse hooves was loud. Huan Wen was charging forward. His body was swaying with the jolting of the horse, and the sword in his hand had already been extended sideways.

The Shijie Zhao army in front was fleeing indiscriminately, and no one thought of using their flesh and blood to block the cavalry charging at high speed.

Huan Wen was the first to charge in, followed by the rushing cavalry who kept galloping past, and the rest of the light cavalry and auxiliary cavalry entered from the two wings. More than 3000 cavalry and nearly [-] horses flooded the Shijie Zhao army.

Without resistance, it was just a one-sided massacre.

Speaking of massacre, it is because when facing cavalry galloping and charging at high speed, it is useless to raise your hands to surrender. After all, cavalry will not stop just for a drop, or even change the direction of the horse and lose speed.

Once pierced and then another time, most of the Shijie Zhao army was wiped out in just two times. Huan Wen didn't want to stay on the battlefield after finishing these. Defeat the Shijie Zhao army in the east.

When the cavalry left, Shijie and Zhao Jun, who were lucky enough to survive, all looked at the Han army going away with dull faces, and many people cried out with a "wow".

What Huan Wen needed was to be defeated, not to be wiped out.He just needed to see with his own eyes what the cavalry of the Han army was like. After a group charge, he had a more intuitive impression.

"Yuanzi, we have a time difference of about two quarters of an hour."

"I know."

Out of sight of the enemy's rout, Huan Wen ordered the whole army to stop. They needed to replace their spare horses, and they continued to set off after a short while. However, the speed of the march was not full gallop, but a kind of running to warm up the horses and adapt to the horses. There is a knight on the back.

During the march, the knights of the Han army would replenish water or food, that is, replenish directly on horseback.

"How much was lost just now, and how much is the result of the battle?"

"The whole army was not damaged, and the result of the battle should have caused about [-] enemy casualties."

Huan Wen smiled with satisfaction, innocence is a part, the most important thing is that the army can move like a finger.

Shijie Zhao Jun wanted to design a trap, and Huan Wen led his army into the trap. He thought that even if the Han army he led was in a trap, Shijie Zhao Jun would not have a good mouth to swallow it, and Shijie Zhao Jun would collapse instead. own teeth.

That's not blind self-confidence, it's a comparison of strength, combined with some other things to confirm, the most direct judgment is that as long as you don't get dizzy, you can still break through on the plain terrain.

Niu Dou did not receive the news that the decoy troops were defeated. When he saw the Han army appearing, his first judgment was that the Han army did not attack the decoy troops, but came directly towards them.

"Light the wolf smoke!"

What is wolf smoke?In fact, it is the firewood burned by Populus euphratica, red willow, apocynum, Achnatherum splendens, white cats, camel grass, licorice, dry reed, Haloxylon, etc. Wolf dung or horse dung can also be added.Wolf dung burns like wool felt, and the smoke is light brown.Horse dung burns like hay, but is lighter in color than wolf dung.In addition, I have to mention that the number of carnivores such as wolves has never been large, no matter whether they are in the grassland or the Central Plains, and their excrement is not difficult to collect.

The thick, light brown smoke slowly drifted towards the sky. If the line of sight was not blocked, it could be clearly seen even twenty or thirty miles away.

Wang Ji rode on a tall horse and squinted his eyes to see all the rising smoke. There was only one stick representing the cattle tablet being attacked by the Han army, and the decoy troops were in an unknown state.

About [-] cavalrymen are standing behind Wang Ji. They are some light cavalry with messy clothes. Don't just look at the clothes, you need to look at the physique and mental state of the cavalry. If you observe carefully, you will find that each of them is a little bit different. Robust and tough.They are Shi Zun's private soldiers, warriors selected from various families or tribes.

"Military Lord?"

"Well……"

Wang Ji was thinking about a question. Whether Huan Wen rushed directly to Niu Dou or not, it meant that the Han army had discovered an ambush. However, the Han army came in knowing that there was a trap. What does that mean?

It must be said that Wang Ji's cavalry was not counted in the combat power, and he led the army to rush over.

About [-] cavalry belonged to Shi Zun's private soldiers. This unit was the first unit Shi Zun invested in, and it was also the unit discovered by the Han army.The four thousand light cavalry that Wang Ji brought behind him stayed thirty miles away from the battlefield. They rushed to the mountains overnight when they were beyond the scout's detection distance. According to reason, they were not found.

"Master, shall we march?"

"Do not."

As far as Wang Ji is concerned, it doesn't matter if a person of Niu Duan's level dies, it doesn't even matter if another private army belonging to Shi Zun is wiped out. They will keep hiding until they think the opportunity arises. show up.As for when the time has come, it is up to Wang Ji to decide.

"I heard that the Deng family is splitting up?"

"My lord, yes."

"Oh……"

Will address the Lord, on behalf of the royal family.

The Deng family in the conversation refers to Deng Heng's family.Deng Heng was defeated and punished by Shi Hu. Those in the family were basically dismissed from office, and a few were even settled for old accounts. The separation of the family seemed to be forced to spread, but almost all of them reached a certain level. Jin people will not look in the direction of simplicity.

"We paid attention in many ways, and found that some Deng family members entered the customs, and some Deng family members also went south. One of them disappeared after crossing the Yellow River."

"Hehe, I must have gone to join Liu Yan."

The Wang family is also starting to make preparations. Almost every big family is making preparations. What should be done before has already been done. It seems that people from the same clan are divided into several families to seek refuge in Shijie Zhao State, Murong Yan State, and Tuoba Dai State, Zhang's Liang State, Sima 1 Jin State.Now there are two more forces that may need to invest, namely Ran Min who has entered Guanzhong to form a separatist regime, and Liu Yan who occupies Qingzhou and has a separatist regime.

They were chatting, about an hour or so, the previous wolf smoke had disappeared long ago, but two sticks of wolf smoke lit up in another direction, but the color was red.

Wang Ji was still chatting and laughing, but he was obviously stunned when he saw the red smoke, and then murmured: "Impossible?"

Wolf smoke, or red.Red is usually set as an emergency, obviously the four thousand step cavalry belonging to Shi Zun thinks they have encountered the most dangerous situation?

what happened?
……

Huan Wen led [-] cavalry and easily defeated Niu Du's private army again. They almost left the battlefield without stopping.

After leaving the battlefield, Huan Wen reunited with Yuan Qiao who had left the team before.

Yuan Qiao gave Huan Wen the news with a smile on his face that another enemy army was rushing here.In other words, Huan Wen's goal has been achieved.They can rest for about an hour, and then they should choose to face the enemy directly and fight again.

During the halftime break, Huan Wen seemed extremely excited and told Yuan Qiao almost incoherently that commanding the Han army and commanding the Jin army were two completely different things.

"Do you know? When Wen gives an order, the troops will respond quickly, especially the execution of the assault cavalry under his command is both efficient and resolute!"

Yuan Qiao was very happy for Huan Wen, maybe she should also be happy for herself?They are now grasshoppers on a rope, and it is not easy to leave Hanbu, so it is very important to be able to stay in Hanbu relatively happily.

Huan Wen, who was in excitement, was a rather scary person. He was talking the whole time and Yuan Qiao was listening. Another enemy army appeared in sight. Huan Wen left and left Yuan Qiao, who had been having a pleasant conversation just now, laughing. The orderer came to mount his horse and turned over.

"Commanders, move, let us massacre the enemy again!"

"promise!"

If it was a mob or a miscellaneous army, Huan Wen would not feel anything about Qi Qi's promise, but Qi Qi's answer to him was an elite army, which he saw with his own eyes, led him personally, and easily slaughtered two enemy armies. !

Obeying orders and possessing high combat power, any commander would like such an army.Huan Wen had led the army more than once, but this was the first time he had hoped for a battle.He really likes the army he leads, not only because this army is good at fighting, but also because he has seen other things, which can only be perceived by participating in and feeling it personally.

[Uncle Yan must have the same intentions, otherwise the communication would not be so peaceful. 】The corner of Huan Wen's mouth curled up, he turned his head to look at Yuan Qiao who was standing with the horse, narrowed his eyes and thought: 【Uncle Yan and I are natural allies, no matter where we are.But it is necessary to distinguish between priorities and don't mess up the rules. 】
