Chapter 1339 The Whereabouts of Huang Xu's Army
Remember in one second【】
Hearing this, Guo Jia's eyes lit up and he walked to the map. After looking at it carefully for a while, he looked up at Huangfu Chaobo and said, "Your Majesty, if General Huang's army has time, it should be able to defeat Cao Xing's army before it reaches Yunzhong. Stop..."
At this moment, the guard outside the door was reporting: "Your Majesty! Someone has been sent from outside the city to report that General Pingbei's cavalry has arrived. General Pingbei has entered the city and is on his way here."
"Zilong is here!" Huangfu Chaobo was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly stood up and looked outside.
Soon, a heroic figure appeared in everyone's sight. Seeing Huangfu Chaobo and everyone looking in his direction, Zhao Yun quickly quickened his pace and soon entered the room and bowed to Huangfu Chaobo: "Wei Bring Zhao Yun to my king!"
Huangfu Chaobo sat on the throne. After accepting Zhao Yun's obeisance, he immediately stood up, walked quickly to him, supported him with both hands, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Zilong. How is the morale of the soldiers?"
"Back to the king, after this period of training, the army has completely recovered to the level before the previous battle with the Zhao army. According to the king's instructions, there are now 5,000 elite Yi Cong and 10,000 ordinary Yi Cong. Fighting against Bingzhou Langqi will definitely not bring shame to the king," Zhao Yun said solemnly;
"Okay, with Zilong's words, Gu will feel more at ease."
Zhao Yun's words greatly increased the confidence of everyone in the Tang army. There was no way out. Lu Bu was too strong. The Tang army fought against Lu Bu's cavalry several times, and each time they were evenly matched with their superior strength. It was really Lu Bu and him. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry under their command is too powerful.
Fortunately, although Lu Bu is strong, compared with the Tang State, the Zhao State is really too weak. After several battles with the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, the damaged troops and horses are not so easy to replace, so the Tang Army's cavalry every time After the loss, they could soon be replenished, but Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was reduced more and more. According to the news from the Shadow Guard, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry now only has an army of more than 15,000 and less than 20,000.
After resting for two days in Shangdang, the army set off again towards Nie County in the north. This time, in addition to more than 30,000 guards, Zhao Yun's 15,000 white-horse Yi followers and Shangdang's tigers were added. There are 25,000 Czech troops and 20,000 county soldiers and civilians, a total of nearly 100,000 troops, heading towards Nanguan in the northwest of Nie County.
Almost at the same time, on the grassland hundreds of miles north of Shangdang and ten miles northeast of Danhan Mountain, a cavalry force of tens of thousands of people appeared under the sky. It was just over a month ago. Previously, Huang Xu's army set off from Yanbei County.
Huang Xu's army has a total of 50,000 people, one man with two horses, and more than 100,000 horses. Among them, excluding the 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry of Yanbei County,
There are also 20,000 Wuheng cavalry commanded by Xian Yufu and Nanlou under Xiaoqiang, the prime minister of Liaodong.
An army of 50,000 and 100,000 horses surged toward Danhan Mountain like raging waves. Among the army, Huang Xu's face was full of exhaustion, and the armor on his body was even covered with ice.
After lightly reining in the horse's reins, the war horse slowly slowed down. Seeing this, several generals nearby also slowed down their horses. One general stepped forward and said, "General, what are your orders?" ?”
Huang Xu wiped off the water stains on his face: "General Xianyu, where is this place?"
The general known as General Xianyu was Xianyufu, who was under Xiaoqiang. As the former number one general under Youzhou Mu, he should be the most familiar with the situation in the north of Youzhou among his group.
Sure enough, after hearing Huang Xu's question, Xian Yufu stood up on his horse. After looking around, he replied to Huang Xu: "General, if I am not mistaken, our army has already arrived near Danhan Mountain. !”
"That's right!" Another general next to him also replied: "General, General Wei has been to Danhan Mountain several times. Now the army should be no more than twenty miles away from Danhan Mountain."
The person who answered was Nanlou. During this period of march, if the two of them were not familiar with the situation outside the Great Wall, Huang Xu's 50,000 army would have suffered heavy losses. Even so, the heavy snow also caused the loss of nearly 10% of the 50,000 army, and the horses were even more It's a lot of losses.
Seeing that both of them were so sure, Huang Xu also felt relieved: "Okay, pass on the order and the army will continue to advance. After arriving at Danhan Mountain, the army will rest for two days and then charge into Yanmen territory."
"promise!"
Soon, the rolling torrent continued to surge toward the southwest.
It was getting dark, and the army finally arrived at the northern foot of Danhan Mountain. The so-called Danhan Mountain is the Daqing Mountain in the south of Shangyi County in reality. It is a section of the Yinshan Mountains and has always been a holy land for the grassland aliens. However, after Lu Bu took over Bingzhou, he conducted a thorough cleaning of the north of Bingzhou, so There were no more foreign cavalry in Danhan Mountain.
After the army arrived at Danhan Mountain, Huang Xu also breathed a long sigh of relief. Even in his condition, after more than a month of marching in the snow, he was already exhausted, not to mention that along the way, they were still very tired. There were two heavy snowstorms. Fortunately, Xian Yufu and Nanlou were familiar with the terrain and allowed the army to find a place to avoid the snowstorm.
But even so, the army still lost thousands of soldiers and horses. Fortunately, the Tang army had strong economic strength. Not only were the 50,000 soldiers well-protected, but the 100,000 horses were all provided with sufficient refined food before setting off. Otherwise, when his army arrives at Danhan Mountain, it will not be a matter of 10% or 20%.
Tens of thousands of troops rested in Danhan Mountain for two days, and then under Huang Xu's order, they set off again towards Yanmen County.
Yanmen County, Pingcheng, more than 30,000 Zhao troops, led by Pingnan General Cao Xing, have just entered the city.
Looking at the more than 30,000 soldiers and horses filing into the city, Cao Xing felt that although
^0^ Remember in one second【】
Although he was still dissatisfied, it was not as good as when he had just left Jinyang. When he left Jinyang, he only had more than 10,000 infantry and a thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry specially sent to him by Lu Bu. As the army moved northward, He also took over more than ten thousand infantry in Yanmen territory, so along the way, Cao Xing dispersed his two thousand personal guards into the army while marching, and reorganized the thirty thousand army. Now when he arrived in Pingcheng, this An army of 30,000 could barely make it.
Cao Xing believed that when he led his army to Xianyang, although these soldiers and horses could not fight head-on with the Tang army in the wild, they should be able to participate in the defensive task. Cao Xing believed that after several battles, these 30,000 soldiers and horses would be able to defeat the Tang army. The infantry will surely grow into the elite of Zhao State. Of course, having 10,000 people left in the end is probably the best result, but Cao Xing is not saying, isn't this how the elite come from?
Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
