Chapter 351 Crisis Appears
However, Hu Yanda is not very worried about the safety of the group. You must know that for the safety of Huang Wudie, not only Huangfu Chaobo arranged for 20 tiger and cardinal cavalry, but also 10 horsemen selected by Huang Xu from Longhua Town. Senior warriors, and ten senior warriors sent by Zhao Feng from Zhao Family Village to Zhao Yu. There are also dozens of ordinary Xianbei cavalry who catch horses. Of course, these cavalry are all masters of horses. Except for all the warriors who are horses of the same color, the rest of the group are good horses, and each has a good horse as a spare. In addition to the one-stone rhubarb crossbow in each hand, it can be said that, except for them to provoke the foreign cavalry with more than a thousand people to seek death, the foreign cavalry with less than 500 people can't please them at all. The value of force seems to be at least equal to that of Huang Xu, so after a little consideration, Hu Yanda succumbed.
So, a group of people galloped towards the depths of the grassland. After two days of galloping, the group finally found a herd of thousands of wild horses on the third day. The leader of this group of wild horses turned out to be a pure Zhaoye Yushi BMW, which made everyone very excited. Although the two girls love to play, they are not the masters of messing around. After seeing the situation of the horses, Huang Wudie immediately handed over her white dragon horse to Hu Yanda to ride on, and then everyone obeyed Hu Yanda's arrangement to prepare the horses . Under Hu Yanda's careful arrangement, after three days of hard work, the group finally separated Mawang and the three or four hundred horses around him from the entire herd. At the same time, nearly eighty fine horses and horse-level horses were also harnessed. As for the horse group, after the horse king was arrested, they were divided into several small horse groups and scattered away.
After Ma Wang succeeded, everyone didn't dare to stay on the grassland any longer. After resting overnight, everyone galloped towards Longhua early the next morning. Hu Yanda wanted to come back quickly to tame the horse king, and the two girls also knew that they had been out for too long, and if they didn't go back, Huang Xu would not be at ease. However, on the way back, everyone discovered a Xianbei tribe with thousands of tents, because the location of this tribe was found to be less than 400 miles northeast of Longhua Town. Out of the vigilance of a warrior, Hu Yanda Immediately arranged two warriors to lead ten cavalry to inquire about information, and after returning, he came over to report the matter to Huang Xu as soon as the horses were set up. A distance of four hundred miles is a very large distance for infantry, but for cavalry, it is only three or two days away, especially for grassland peoples. It will come out in full force, and only two thousand soldiers will not come to Zhongzhen to face thousands of prairie cavalry. Even if they can hold it, it will hurt people's vitality.
After hearing this, Huang Xu couldn't help frowning. The Xianbei tribe with thousands of tents, if there are only three or two thousand tents, there is no pressure at all to hold on for a year or so with the strength of Longhua, but if it exceeds five thousand tents , that's enough. The most fearful thing is that after the tribe discovered Longhua, they would attract more Xianbei people. Even if they stayed outside the valley of Longhua, after a year or so, Longhua Town could basically be said to be abolished. Thinking of this, Huang Xu said to Hu Yanda: "In your opinion, how many people are there in this tribe?"
Hu Yanda thought for a while and said: "Based on the habits of our Xianbei people, what we see should be around 2,000 tents. According to this situation, it should be 2,000 to 3,000 soldiers. Of course, this depends on the specifics. Inquire about the returned information."
"Um,
"Huang Xu nodded and said: "Look carefully, if the two warriors come back, come to the administrative hall immediately. After finishing speaking, he turned to Zhang An and said, "Zhang Duwei, how are your crossbowmen training now?" "Once it comes to serious matters, both Huang Xu and Zhang An have returned to the superior-subordinate relationship.
"Reporting to Captain Lieutenant, the last time the general brought a total of 400 crossbowmen from Changsha, plus the rhubarb crossbows that have been transported in succession recently, there are now a total of 450 crossbowmen in Longhua Town, and the proficiency of crossbows has reached At the intermediate level, each person has two spare crossbow strings and two hundred crossbow arrows, but the cavalry of the soldiers has not been well practiced. Only about 300 of them have reached the intermediate level and above, and the other 150 are still at the elementary level. Moreover, the intermediate cavalry None of the crossbowmen can shoot their crossbows on horseback."
"Well! Step up the training of the crossbowmen. Once there is any situation, the crossbowmen will be the key to our victory." Huang Xu said;
"Humble job understands!" Zhang An promised;
Zhang An has always been in charge of the crossbowmen, so Huang Xu doesn't know their situation very well, but the other soldiers and horses are well aware of them. After Huangfu Chaobo left Longhua Town, Huang Xu replenished the infantry with a thousand soldiers. Among them, there were 300 sword and shield soldiers and spearmen each, and 400 archers. The cavalry had never been deliberately recruited. When the town was upgraded last time, hundreds of horse thieves were recruited. Huang Xu selected more than 200 of them. Archery and cavalry skills are better added to the cavalry, plus the Xianbei Wuhuan captives who have been kept from the auction in the past two years, there are almost 1,000 cavalry now, including 400 saber cavalry, bow There are about 600 cavalrymen, plus the 400 crossbowmen brought by Zhang An from Changsha, there are now 2,500 soldiers in Longhua Town. However, unlike the soldiers in the Central Plains, all the soldiers here Know how to ride, whether it is a sword and shield soldier or an archer, but they are only good at riding, not a positive sword and shield cavalry and archer. Since Henry Zhang was called back to the Central Plains by Huangfu Chaobo, the entire Longhua has been handed over to Huang Xu for management. According to Huang Xu's thinking, if possible, he is absolutely unwilling to passively defend, but hopes to take the initiative to attack. I don't know, how to act specifically, we have to wait until we can find out the other party's information.
Two days later, the group of inquiring intelligence returned to Longhua Town in a hurry. As soon as they entered the town, they went directly to the direction of the administrative hall.
"I have seen Mr. Lieutenant!" The two were brought in front of Huang Xu, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"You two have worked hard, how is the situation?" Huang Xu waved his hand and asked impatiently;
The two warriors stopped being polite, and told Huang Xu about the situation of their investigation. After the two separated with the soldiers and Hu Yanda and his party, they carefully went to the Xianbei camp. It took the group two days to find out the situation without disturbing the camp. This is a small tribe under the Yuwen Department of Xianbei in the east. At present, there are less than 8,000 people, and there are almost less than 2,000 soldiers. However, there are nearly 2,000 slaves in the tribe, and the other 4,000 are old and weak women. This tribe should have just arrived here not long ago, and the entire tribe is setting up fences around it, and it seems that they will not leave in a short time. Not only that, the two leaders checked the surrounding area of 200 miles, and found no trace of other tribe's activities.
