Chapter 330 Cat plays with the mouse

Ma Han and Zhang Zhan responded to the promise and immediately ran to the barracks excitedly.

Seeing this, Su Fei showed envy on his face, and he looked at Zhang Yue begging.

Zhang Yue looked at his expression and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Su Feier, too!"

Zhang Yue said with a smile.

"promise"

Su Fei shouted excitedly, then jumped onto the horse excitedly, chased Ma Han, and Zhang Zhan left.

In just two quarters of an hour, the nine hundred cavalry, led by Ma Han, left the ranch and headed northwest. Their target was Yucheng ranch.

Yucheng Ranch is now the largest ranch in Dayuan.

The pasture covers a vast area and has an area of ​​60 miles. It has more than 30,000 horses and can produce nearly 3,400 war horses every year.

This ranch belongs entirely to King Yu Cheng personally and is also the most important property of King Yu Cheng.

Therefore, his defense power is not weak. King Yu Cheng built two castles here and deployed nearly two thousand troops on weekdays.

The troops that harassed and robbed Ershicheng ranch in the past set off from here.

Recently, I learned that the Great Han Western Regions Protector came to Ershicheng.

King Yucheng even strengthened the army and vigilance of the ranch.

At this time, the ranch had more than 3,000 troops, of which the number of cavalry was nearly 2,000.

The equipment of these cavalry is also good, and most of them are equipped with leather or bronze armor.

The weapons and equipment are mainly bows, arrows, scimitars, and there are also a small number of cavalry and rifles. The equipment level is roughly the same as that of the Hun cavalry.

However, Yu Cheng's cavalry training was much worse, which was actually a big problem facing Yu Cheng's army now.

Yu Cheng was originally just a medium-sized city-state with five thousand troops.

Although with the support of the Sakura, the number of troops has expanded rapidly.

But the training of the army is not a matter of a day or a night.

Yucheng is another city-state dominated by business, and it is difficult to carry out two trainings for ordinary people a year like the Han Dynasty.

Their newly recruited army is completely untrained rookies.

"General, the Han army in Ershicheng is coming!"

Shortly after Ma Han and others sent troops, Yu Chengren's scout reported the information to the guard general of Yu Cheng ranch.

Zheng Li was shocked when he heard the news, "Who is the person who led the Han army? How many soldiers are there?"

The scout who delivered the letter replied, "I'm going to ask for a thousand cavalry, and I think it's the Han army captain Ma Han..."

"Thousands of horses!"

Upon hearing this, Zhili immediately summoned his generals to discuss matters.

"Everyone, the Han army captain Ma Han led a thousand cavalry to attack. Should our army attack or defend?"

Zheng Li asked directly after waiting for everyone to arrive.

The deputy general Qihe heard this and asked in surprise, "Why are there so many cavalry in the Han army?"

Zheng Li said, "It should be the Han army from the west!"

"The Han army from the west is the great protector of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty?" Qihe asked.

Zheng Li said with uncertainty, "It should be!"

At this time, a centurion said, "The army of the Western Regions' Great Protectors is known as the enemy of the Five Barbarians of the Han Dynasty..."

Another centurion said, "In the past, the Han army went to expedition to my Dayuan miscellaneous soldiers... I still need three times the number of soldiers to fight with, today..."

Although he did not continue to say it, everyone understood what he meant.

Zheng Li said after hearing this, "What do you mean by defense?"

The centurion faced Zheng Li's inquiry, "With the soldiers of the ranch, I'm afraid they can't confront the Han cavalry head-on!"

Qihe frowned when he heard this, "Our army has 3,000 and the Han army has 1,000. If we don't go to war, it will be troublesome to blame the king!"

Zhili sighed after hearing this, "That's the reason, let alone the ranch is vast. If we stick to the castle, the ranch will probably be robbed..."

At this time, a centurion said, "Why not ask the king for help!"

Consistently said, "I'm afraid it's too late..."

The execution suddenly entered a dilemma, and it is probably not a match for the Han army when they go to fight.

If you don’t go out to fight, you will sit and watch the Han army plunder the pastures, and it will be a problem with King Yu Cheng’s punishment.

He himself came from King Yu Cheng's guards. Based on his knowledge of King Yu Cheng, he learned that the ranch had been robbed, and he might not be able to save his life.

"What should I do!"

While the execution was hesitating, the scout sent the news again.

"General Qi Biography, the Han cavalry is only twenty miles away from the ranch..."

Zhu Li gritted his teeth and decided to take a try.

"Everyone, the Han army is also a human being. I don't believe that the Han army is really so powerful... Please follow me to fight..."

Zheng Li shouted with a stern voice.

Although most officers were unwilling to go to war, they still responded loudly at this time:

"Abide by the order!"

Although their voices are not small, they each do not have much confidence.

When Ma Han and Zhang Zhan led their troops to a place about seven or eight miles southeast of Yucheng Ranch.

Zheng Li led two thousand cavalry and five hundred heavy infantry to block the Han army's way.

"That's the Dayuan cavalry, it looks good in equipment and riding skills!"

Zhang Zhan rode on the horse and observed the enemy troops opposite him.

Although Zhang Zhan had fought with the Dayuan army several times, it was his first contact with the Dayuan cavalry.

Ma Handao, "The people of Dayuan were originally people who attracted bows and started to settle down two hundred years ago..."

Zhang Zhan nodded, "But it has something to do with Alexander that Junhou once mentioned?"

Ma Han said, "Yes, this Dayuan people were originally frustrated... Now their living habits are closer to the Greeks..."

Zhang Zhan nodded, "Does Ma Gong know the combat power of Yu Cheng's cavalry?"

Ma Han said, "Is it a good match for the Wusun people!"

Zhang Zhan nodded and turned to Su Fei behind him and said, "Su Fei will tell someone about the beauty of Yu Cheng!"

"promise"

Su Fei agreed and immediately led more than a hundred cavalrymen to attack.

Su Fei led the Zhang Yue's personal guard cavalry, whose training and equipment were stronger than ordinary Han cavalry.

Therefore, although they only had one hundred cavalry and two thousand cavalry opposite them, they were not afraid.

"Two and three sons, Yan Xingcheng, enter!"

Su Fei gave an energetic order.

One hundred Han cavalry then formed a Yan formation and slowly headed towards the enemy.

"General, what should we do?"

The commander of the thousand-man Dahl asked Zhili.

Zheng Li thought for a moment and said, "Dar, you lead five hundred cavalry to fight. You must defeat this Han army!"

Dahl heard this and said, "Yes!"

"Warriors attack!"

Daer soon led the 500 cavalrymen in his headquarters to kill Su Fei.

When Su Fei saw the enemy attack, he shouted happily, "Two and three sons, the one who sent military merits is here!"

Then he ordered, "Switch horses!"

Under Su Fei's command, the Han cavalry quickly completed the horse replacement.

"Warriors attack!"

Seeing that the two armies were only more than one hundred steps away, Dahl shouted excitedly.

Su Fei whispered, "Idiot!"

Then the order was issued, "divided"

The Han cavalry then divided into two parts, avoided the enemy's front, and used bows and arrows to attack the Dayuan people from both wings.

Under the attack of Han army's bows and arrows, Yu Cheng's cavalry kept falling off their horses.

At this time, the problem of Yu Cheng's insufficient cavalry training was exposed.

In order to avoid the Han army's bows and arrows, the formation of the Yucheng people became chaotic.
