Chapter three hundred and eighty nine

In Guangzhou City, Hao Shao prepared two days of food and grass for Liu Mang's army and burned hot food. He originally wanted to prepare a house for Zhao Yun's Baima Congyi, but was rejected by Liu Mang. He could not afford to delay his time now. Moreover, Liu Mang planned to let the white horse Congyi travel thousands of miles a day. Just a hundred miles away, he needed to stay in the city, supply hot food, so why should he train?

One man and two horses exchanged for rides, the war horses were in good spirits, but these cavalry were a little depressed. After all, there were still a thousand new recruits in the three thousand white horses, and they needed to be taken care of. Fortunately, there were saddles and stirrups on the war horses, otherwise these new recruits would have been thrown out long ago.

The two-day Mercedes-Benz also made these recruits adapt a little, and once they entered the city to rest, all their efforts would be wasted.

"Replenish food and grass, rest for half an hour, and move forward immediately!" Liu Mang gave an order to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said, "Zhao Yun has the experience of commanding the cavalry, while Liu Mang has some of the manguda tactical behavior methods. Only by combining the two can the tactics of this thousand people be truly implemented.

Now Guangzhou is no longer the small town that was not cared about by Liu Mang. Now Guangzhou has been combined into one by Liu Mang. As the place where Hao Shao played, Guangzhou Liu Mang has also raised him from a small county town to a county level.

Hao Shao is good at defense. With the resources of the three cities, the western gateway of Yangzhou can be regarded as impregnable.

"Wen Chang is still in Yiyang!" Liu Mang's army arrived, and Wei Yan and others should have come to greet Liu Mang, but now they have not seen Wei Yan's figure. So Liu Mang asked.

"Yes. General Wei Yan is now commanding the Wushu in Yiyang!" Hao Shao nodded to Liu Mang. Wei Yan, Hao Shao had never worked with him before, but Hao Shao saw Wei Yan's ability. The Yi Yang Wushu under his command was a group of desperate people, and he was not afraid of death in war. Such a unit was not strong! Wei Yan had the ability, so Hao Shao naturally respected Wei Yan. Hao Shao came from the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry worshipped strong people. Although Wei Yan belonged to Hao Shao's restraint, Hao Shao generally asked Yu Wei Yan and Wei Yan to discuss together, and the cooperation between the two was very close. "Do you want it? Shao called General Wei Yan back?!"

"No need, I will definitely pass through Yiyang this time. Then I will say, "Liu Mang waved his hand and said, "Yiyang Wushang, 5,000 troops, Bo Dao, you also have 5,000 troops in your hands, a total of 10,000. There are enough people here!" Liu Mang frowned and asked Hao Shao.

There are many soldiers and horses in three cities, but in fact they are not many. On average, only 3,000 people per city. Moreover, among these 10,000 Yiyang Wushang has not yet formed a real army, but Hao Shao needs to be prepared for Liu Bei's 40,000 soldiers and horses. Even in Xinye, there are 15,000 soldiers and horses from Liu Biao of Jingzhou.

"Don't worry, lord, although Shao is not good at sieging cities, as long as Shao is still alive, he will definitely not let the enemy step into Yangzhou!" Hao Shao said unscrupulously. Two thousand and third-rate garrison troops, Hao Shao could stop Liu Bei's 20,000 troops for three days. Now Hao Shao has 10,000 troops, and can command the supplies of the three cities, making Yangzhou's western gateway even more solid.

"Bo Dao, you and Wen Yuan are now two goalkeepers in the east and west!" Liu Mang was still very relieved of Hao Shao's defense ability. This person was the first person to stop Brother Zhu. Chen Cang's battle made Brother Zhu have Hao Shao's plan to leave Sichuan. You can see Hao Shao's defense. The only person in the Eastern Han Dynasty who can be compared with Hao Shao was the unmasked Huo Jun. The two were called the Great Wall of Human Flesh. As for the previous Western Liang Iron Cavalry rushing into Yangzhou, it was because Hao Shao had no cavalry and the war horses under his crotch could not reach the elite of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, so Jia Xu rushed into Yangzhou and the troops were at the city. This time, Liu Mang also brought Hao Shao a hundred war horses to spare.

It soon half an hour passed. Half of the war horses were fed the horse feed, and half were not fed. The white horses rode the ones who were not fed. Once the war horses ate too much, due to digestion problems, they would naturally slow down and their horsepower would be much less. The other half of the war horses that did not eat horse feed had to be fed, so the two offset the speeds.

After a day and a half, Liu Mang's army once again arrived outside Yiyang City. Wei Yan had already welcomed him there. The five thousand Yiyang martial soldiers accompanied by Wei Yan were there. Although they did not have the murderous intent of the elite of a hundred battles, they were all full of energy. Liu Mang was very satisfied with it. Although Wei Yan was a little arrogant, he was very capable! A person with ability was arrogant and arrogant, and those without ability were called offense.

"Go into the city!" Liu Mang in Guangzhou did not choose to rest because he needed to train the white horse Congyi in his hand, so that the new recruits could adapt to this long-distance raid. When resting in Yiyang, it was because almost all four days were on the back of the horse, which was considered a kind of training. Everything was too much. Now the white horse Congyi has been trained. At least he can stop running for several days. If he forced the training, it would only lead to collapse, so it is still necessary to rest appropriately.

What's more, Liu Mang has more important things to do in Yiyang City.

As soon as he heard Liu Mang say that he could go to the city to rest, the entire white horse began to boil from Yi. Whether it was the new recruits or veterans, it was uncomfortable to ride a horse for four days, even if he ran a horse. Eat, drink, defecation, and urination were basically above the war horses. This kind of discomfort was extraordinary.

Basically, there were people who fell from war horses, and some were riding horses and pooping, and they drifted to the cavalry behind them with the wind to greet them.

There are those who are not good at learning skills, and they are really raided to death. Three thousand cavalry have gone to war. Before the war begins, five people have died, and three are seriously injured. These are all trampled to death by the horses behind when they fall from the war horses.

The new recruits are like this, and the veterans are not much better. Although the Western Liang cavalry took off their heavy armor and put on brocade clothes, they did not stop getting off the horse for four days! When they got off the horse, their butts began to stiffen, and some people's butts were soaked, which was sweat mixed with blood.

"What's messing about? What's messing about! Come into a queue and enter the city!" Liu Mang frowned. The officers of the white horse Congyi over there began to scold these white horses Congyi. The light cavalry that Liu Mang needed was a matter of words and deeds. What's the difference between a light cavalry who was stunned when fighting and an ordinary light cavalry!

Seeing the white horse Congyi who were holding his breath when the officers scolded him, Liu Mang suddenly laughed. Now he wanted these bastards to hold their breath and have complaints in his heart. Who brought them these hardships? Of course, it was the enemy. If Liu Bei had not killed Liu Mang's envoy, such a long-distance raid would not have occurred. Even if there was, it should be several months later, and it would be much better when everyone got used to it.

Their training complaints will accumulate more and more, and in the end they will definitely be all over the enemy. This is what Liu Mang needs.

Seeing the white horse Congyi entering the city one by one, Wei Yan didn't know what to say, and he was envious and jealous! The white horse Congyi was a pair of horses. In addition to his own sword, the most common ones of the white horse Congyi were quivering, all of which were arrows, and there were two spares for the battle bows. He was wearing brocade clothes, and the arrows were extremely luxurious. In this era, a war horse was so expensive that it could be cheaper than hundreds of gold, and there were several golds. This white horse Congyi's equipment could be equipped with a team of Yiyang Wushu. How could Wei Yan not be envious and jealous! Especially the white horse Congyi's commander, the white robe Zhao Yun, who had conflicts with this little white face at the beginning! But after that, Zhao Yun became the commander of the army, and Wei Yan was thrown into the city management army to be a giant shield soldier. It would be great to be handsome.

Wei Yan blinked his lips, but no matter how envious it is, Wei Yan now has his own arrogance. Although your white horse Congyi is rich and luxurious, it is not as good as a meal. It is a mule or a horse that needs to be pulled out. Your white horse Congyi may not go to the battlefield to kill more enemies than his Yiyang Wushang. His Yiyang Wushang cannot be worse than his Yiyang Wushang. Thinking of this, Wei Yan suddenly shouted loudly to his subordinates, "Can you not walk anymore! Line up, line up, who can't walk? I'll teach him personally!" After Wei Yan's scolding, Yiyang Wushang also began to plan neatly. The two groups of soldiers and horses walked out of the military parade, which really made Liu Mang smile bitterly.

Two large armies entered the city together and cooked and set up tents with the help of the people in the city. Yiyang was no better than other places. This place was originally under Liu Biao's rule, so Liu Mang didn't want to surround the people too much, so he asked all the soldiers to set up tents. Fortunately, the people rushed to help and completed it before dark.

Liu Mang was able to enter the county government of Yiyang, and everyone sat down, and the banquet began. Although there was no singing and dancing, it was so happy that he had enough wine and meals. Wei Yan approached Liu Mang and asked with his fists. "Does the lord want to attack Nanyang this time?"

"What else?" Liu Mang put down his wine glass and asked. Liu Bei's killing of Liu Mang's envoy could be considered a complete tear-off. Liu Mang, who had not settled his case with him before attacking Yangzhou, had naturally come to collect the interest this time.

"Are General Chengyu and General Xu Sheng's troops behind him?!"

Liu Mang shook his head, "Cheng Yu is guarding Shouchun, Xu Sheng, now under Wen Yuan's command, it should be in Linhuai's generation!"

"The only three thousand white horses in the lord attacked Nanyang?!" Wei Yan really didn't understand. If Liu Mang came to attack Nanyang County, he would still deliver vegetables to others, with three thousand light cavalry, and his opponents did have 40,000 soldiers and strong city defense. What's wrong with this? Instead of destroying the white horses in the lord like this, it would be better to give him the remaining three thousand war horses. Although Wei Yan was in his hand, he also wanted to turn the Yiyang Wushu into the Yiyang Iron Cavalry.

"Three thousand soldiers are enough!" Liu Mang looked at Wei Yan indifferently and said.

"Lord, you?!" If it weren't for the order of rank, Wei Yan would have to touch Liu Mang for thousands of times, and his mind would be confused. Three thousand soldiers and horses would be enough. If this white horse Congyi was so powerful, he would have been invaded into Yangzhou by the coalition forces of Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu! Just form a white horse Congyi directly.

"Wen Chang, it seems that you think I'm confused? Your eyes are covered by anger?!" Liu Mang said to Wei Yan with a smile.

"Wei Yan dared not!" Wei Yan lowered his head. Liu Mang was very impressed by Wei Yan's suppression. How dare he contradict Liu Mang directly?

Wei Yan said he didn't dare, but his eyes were still a little arrogant, "Wen Chang, let me ask you! One person and two horses, who can catch up with me in Nanyang?"

Wei Yan was stunned when he heard Liu Mang's words. The three thousand white horses Congyi were one and two horses. With such a luxurious level, the horsepower was absolutely sufficient. There were really few princes in the Central Plains able to afford such configuration. What's more, the Western Liang Iron Cavalry is also a heavy armored cavalry. It was originally very damaged. It was relying on the explosion, and it was really not as good as the horsepower compared to the horsepower. "No!"

"Three thousand white horses follow Yi, can there be infantrymen in Nanyang stop me?!"

"No!" Light cavalry may be slightly insufficient to deal with heavy armored cavalry and heavy armored infantry, but when dealing with ordinary infantry, following the law of cavalry's natural restraint of infantry, the three thousand light cavalry is still a nightmare for this infantry.

"This Xiliang Iron Cavalry can't catch up with me, and this Nanyang infantry can't stop me! Wen Chang, do you have any doubts!" ​​Liu Mang said to Wei Yan with a smile.

"This!" Wei Yan really couldn't refute it. Liu Mang's words had already put his troops invincible.

"But lord, although the Nanyang soldiers cannot do anything to you, you cannot do anything to Liu Bei!" Wei Yan didn't understand. The army was consuming a lot of food and grass. Liu Bei's soldiers could not stop you, but you could not do anything to Liu Bei. As long as Liu Bei closed the gate of Nanyang and closed the city gate, then Liu Mang's three thousand light cavalry could only wander outside the city, and there was also the possibility of being ambushed by Liu Bei. The food and grass consumption was also a lot of money! Why do you have to do this thankless thing?

"Haha, he is the Eighteen Counties in Nanyang. I really don't believe that every city of his city is closed. As long as there is a city open, my army can arrive day and night. If it is broken through the city and destroyed the torch, it would be better if the field battles are fought! Zilong, tell Wen Chang our sixteen-character secret!" Liu Mang asked Zhao Yunlai on the side to talk to Wei Yan. It would be good that these two people have fighting spirit, but they cannot have a fighting spirit. If there is such a disagreement within the army, something will happen. Only by letting the two people talk to each other can they resolve the conflict and ease the conflict.

Zhao Yun nodded and walked up, clasped his fists at Wei Yan and said, "General Wei Yan, the sixteen-character mantra left by the lord is to advance and retreat, the enemy retreats and we advance, the enemy stands and disturbs us, and the enemy is tired and we will fight!"

"This!" After hearing the sixteen words Zhao Yun said, Wei Yan was really uneasy and took a breath. These sixteen words sound simple, but in fact, Wei Yan couldn't imagine that you can't catch up with such a person, and you can't attack. If you enter the palace, he will retreat. If you retreat, he will come forward and harass you and attack you as soon as you rest, delay you and make you suffer. I am afraid that within a few days, morale will be reduced to a certain level. Although the fatigue tactics are not high, they accumulate over time, and the number of casualties that may be killed or killed in a few days is still terrible. In the end, the army will be defeated the most! Once the morale of the ancient army is low, its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced!

Wei Yan listened to what Zhao Yun said, if he was the Nanyang army opposite, the best way might be to close the city gate and guard the city.

Indeed, what Liu Mang wanted was that Liu Bei would not leave the city, because in this way he could truly make Nanyang uneasy. One could play a role in training troops, and the other was that Liu Mang could rely on this organization to transport food and grass from Liu Bei's army.

Liu Bei's Nanyang granary was burned by Jia Xu's fire. Is Liu Mang not lacking food or grass? If Liu Bei doesn't leave the city, then he will have to be trapped and starved to death in Nanyang. If Liu Bei leaves the city, then he will be waiting to be drunk and dreamed of these three thousand white horses! Liu Bei makes Liu Mang feel uncomfortable, and Liu Mang will not make Liu Bei feel comfortable. Now, just look at whose plan is more vicious, who can go to death!

"My lord is a talent, Wei Yan is not enough!" Wei Yan once again lowered his proud head and said with his fist. (To be continued...)
