Chapter 224: Wuwei Cavalry vs Xiliang Cavalry
At the critical moment, Jia Rong would not take care of what these soldiers thought. The Xiliang cavalry prepared ten days of dry food before departure and would not worry about the issue of food. As for these infantry, in Jia Rong's opinion, it was a burden, lack of combat effectiveness, speed, and lack of loyalty. What should we do?
The first one to catch up with was the cavalry in Wuwei City. The high-mounted "Geng" flag fluttered in the wind, attracting attention.
Jiang Yu looked at the 500 cavalry who were chasing him and shook his head in slightest. The equipment of these soldiers was OK. From their expressions, they could tell that they lacked training. The skeleton team was panting, without any jingling spirit, and without the unyielding momentum that the cavalry should have. After being in the Xiliang Army for a long time, Jiang Yu's vision gradually became higher.
The Xiliang cavalry stood quietly behind Jiang Yu, and could only hear a horse neigh occasionally. Jiang Yu was confident that only one hundred cavalry could defeat the five hundred people in front of him.
Seeing that the Western Liang army was ready for battle, the cavalry generals panicked for no reason. The cavalry of the Western Liang army was all on war horses, and the weapons and armor were not comparable to those of the cavalry in Wuwei City. Standing there motionlessly gave people a strong sense of oppression, just like a sharp blade about to be unsheathed.
The five hundred cavalry in Wuwei City were different in Ma Teng's eyes. Ma Teng had a short time in Gengbi's army and had a relatively shallow understanding of cavalry. He suddenly saw the five hundred cavalry coming in a mighty way, and for no reason, he was panicked. The cavalry has always been the natural enemy of infantry.
Jiang Yu sneered: "General Ma, do you know which army is in Wuwei City?"
Ma Teng explained: "This is the most powerful soldier in Geng Bi's hands."
Jiang Yu said sarcastically: "But that's the case, one hundred people are enough to destroy it!"
Ma Teng advised: "General, don't be reckless."
Jiang Yu laughed and said, "General Ma is here to see how I attacked Gengbi's most powerful troops!"
Listening to Jiang Yu's confident tone, Ma Teng's face turned red for no reason. No matter what, Geng Bi was his ex-boss and had the kindness of knowing him.
After Jiang Yu finished speaking, without waiting for Ma Teng to react, he led one hundred cavalry to attack the five hundred cavalry.
The cavalry has stirrups to help each other, and the cavalry of the Western Liang Army is originally a person with superb equestrian skills.
When it was about a hundred steps away from the five hundred cavalry, Jiang Yu shouted: "Get the arrow!"
I saw a group of cavalry clamping their legs tightly with their horses, taking off the bow and arrow to the left of the war horse, placing the arrows on the bow and aiming at the five hundred cavalry. The whole process was done in one go, and it was extremely coherent. They had done these movements countless times in their daily training. The high-intensity training of the flat ri made them do it like an arm command, and their speed was not inferior to that of infantry.
After eighty steps, seventy steps, sixty steps, Jiang Yu shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"
A hundred arrows roared towards the cavalry opposite, but the other cavalry looked stunned. They were cavalry and Jiang Yu led them. In comparison, the chief general of the Wuwei cavalry was deeply hit. Pingri accepted the praises of all the soldiers in the city, but unexpectedly, they became a lamb slaughtered in front of the Xiliang army.
Seeing others skillfully moving on the horse, they pulled the bow and arrow without any pause. Their equipment was better than themselves and their armor was even better. In contrast, the generals of the Wuwei cavalry felt like a group of beggars and cavalry.
Before the cavalry general could remind him, a hundred arrows were already roaring, and the sound of "puff" sounds of bows and arrows entering the body were endless. In just one round, the Wuwei cavalry lost thirty or forty people, and the formation was in chaos.
Jiang Yu shouted loudly, and the cavalry behind him put away their longbows, pulled out the weapons on his right hand, and urged the horses to rush towards the Wuwei cavalry.
On the other hand, the Wuwei cavalry had been scared by the terror of the Western Liang cavalry. Seeing the opponent rushing towards him with weapons high, many soldiers' faces changed drastically.
"Brothers, don't be afraid. There are only more than 100 people on the same side, what are you afraid of?" The general shouted: "Kill an enemy and reward two stakes of money, and kill the enemy general and reward two stakes of money to be promoted to two levels."
After the general's loud shout, many cavalrymen came to their senses and looked at the hundred cavalry led by Jiang Yu, with their eyes full of hope. In their eyes, these cavalrymen rushed towards them were their usual money.
The Xiliang cavalry did not know what fear was, even if the number of people on the other side was several times more than that on their own.
As soon as they fought, the top and bottom were divided. The five hundred cavalry in Wuwei were in chaos under the impact of the Xiliang cavalry. The sound of "puff" was endless. Most of the attacks of Wuwei cavalry were flexibly avoided by the well-trained Xiliang cavalry.
Seeing the Xiliang cavalry doing various dodging actions on the horse's back, the Wuwei general felt bitter.
In this battle, Ma Teng saw what cavalry is and what is a hundred battles. Wuwei's five hundred cavalry was dispersed by Jiang Yu in less than half an hour. What is strange is that it makes people feel that it is right. Even Ma Teng thought so, as if Wuwei's five hundred cavalry was defeated for granted.
In addition to being shocked, Ma Teng led the remaining 100 cavalry to cover up, and the 500 cavalry announced their failure. It was the battle between the Xiliang cavalry and the Wuwei cavalry that touched Ma Teng's benign heart. Ma Teng, who has always claimed to be the descendants of General Fubo, was not willing to live under others. Restoring his ancestors has always been Ma Teng's dream, which also led to another cavalry general under Jia Rong's command in the future.
However, the Xiliang cavalry gave Ma Teng hope that with such a cavalry, why worry about not winning the battle, and why worry about being shamed by his ancestors. It is only a matter of time before the resumption of his ancestors’ glory.
Ma Teng made up his mind to follow Jia Rong wholeheartedly. He believed in his intuition. Jia Rong died after this great disaster and would definitely not be the thing in the pool.
Looking at the Wuwei cavalry fleeing in the desert, Jiang Yu laughed and said, "What is it, you dare to call a cavalry."
Ma Teng echoed: "The cavalry of Xiliang is unparalleled in the world, and the cavalry of Wuwei is not an opponent."
Jiang Yu looked at Ma Teng in surprise. He clearly remembered that Ma Teng's face was unnatural when he mentioned that the Wuwei cavalry was not worth mentioning. He did not expect that after a while, he would highly respect the Western Liang army and even did not forget to attack the Wuwei army. What was the situation?
After his mentality changed, Ma Teng felt no sense of guilt and bowed: "General Jiang, it is urgent to seize the time to clean the battlefield and then catch up with the general."
Jiang Yu replied: "General Ma said that he should quickly clean the battlefield and take away all the things he could take away. The enemy does not need to leave a living."
"General Ma, the former misunderstood in Wuwei City. Please forgive me!" After saying that, Jiang Yu said sincerely.
Ma Teng was also moved. Through brief contact, Ma Teng learned that Jiang Yu's status in the Xiliang army is definitely not low, and Jiang Yu has strong personal abilities, and he is not inferior to him in leading troops and fighting skills. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yu actually apologized in person.
Ma Teng replied to the week and said, "The general is so serious, so we can't blame the general for this matter. It's because the official is not prepared in advance."
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "General Ma is indeed a cheerful person. What kind of low-ranking position is not low-ranking position? From then on, how can you and me be called brothers?"
Ma Teng was overjoyed and replied: "It's what I wish!"
"I saw General Ma and I were older, and I would call General Brother from now on." Jiang Yu bowed and said, "Brother Ma!"
Ma Teng returned the courtesy and said, "My brother, don't use too much politeness. You and I are both under the generals, and we should support each other and work together!"
Jiang Yu said: "Brother Ma's words are very good."
Jia Rong was puzzled by the fact that he had always been glaring at the moment of his long eyebrows and glaring at the moment of his return. Jiang Yu explained the whole story before and after.
After hearing this, Jia Rong kept nodding and looked at Jiang Yu with great appreciation. Jiang Yu was able to let go of his identity and reconcile with Ma Teng, and invisibly tied Ma Teng's heart to the warship of the Xiliang Army, clearing Ma Teng's worries.
Jia Rong smiled and said, "It is a blessing for our army to be able to win a general like General Ma this time. The contribution you two have made to defeat the enemy has been recorded."
Jiang Yu was very calm about what Jia Rong said about his meritorious service, while Ma Teng was extremely excited. The generals fought desperately on the battlefield, in order to keep climbing upwards and to make contributions.
"Report to General, this time, more than 150 enemy cavalry were killed, 110 war horses were seized, and our army lost twenty people." Jiang Yu said with his fists.
Jia Rong nodded and said, "Cut down the names of the dead brothers and pay them according to the three times the Xiliang Army's pension!"
"No!" Jiang Yu responded in a deep voice, mentioning his dead brother, Jiang Yu also woke up from the joy of victory.
After hearing the detailed description of the defeated cavalry, Cheng Qiu frowned. Cheng Qiu helped Ma Teng defend the east gate. There was no news. The army lacked the fierce generals who rushed on the battlefield. Cheng Qiu had already seen the courage of the opponent's cavalry in Wuwei City. It was forced to come to pursue him because of helplessness. Jia Rong escaped, and the biggest responsibility became Cheng Qiu.
Although the most important thing is Geng Bi's fault that unknown people are, no one dares to mention it. The army in the city has all the advantages of the territory and harmony, but cannot defeat the Xiliang cavalry with only a few hundred people. This news made the generals under Geng Bi's hearts aroused. In the narrow city, this would be the case. If it were in the wide city, how terrifying would the cavalry's combat effectiveness be.
Geng Bi usually regarded as a treasure kid and was defeated by two hundred Western Liang troops. I wonder what expression Geng Bi would look like when he heard this news.
Cheng Qiu gritted his teeth and took on the task of chasing Jia Rong again. Cheng Qiu is not a peaceful person. Although the people in the army are not very proud, they hold Geng Bi's big tree, and rely on their smooth character to be like fish in water under Geng Bi's tent.
Geng Bi took decisive action against Jia Rong, which was inseparable from Cheng Qiu. Jia Rong was not only a nail in the eyes of the aristocratic family, but also a thorn in Geng Bi's flesh. In the past, the richest part of Liangzhou was Wuwei. Since Jia Rong became the prefect of Jincheng, everything has changed, especially when Jia Rong was exposed when he conquered Han Sui, the powerful military force shocked Geng Bi.
In Cheng Qiu's view, except for Jia Rong, Jincheng will inevitably be in chaos. At that time, Geng Bi leads the army to occupy Jincheng in the name of suppressing rebellion, and his strength will reach a higher level.
Please accept the reward, the new week has begun. I wish you a good mood!
