On the current battlefield of the Han Dynasty, the power of cavalry was always the most terrifying.
The Baibo Army had just walked out of the canyon not far away when they saw the corpses of the defeated troops of Yong'an County who had been killed early this morning. While they were in shock, they were ambushed on both sides by the Fei Qian soldiers who were ambushed by two or three rounds of bows and arrows, and they were in chaos.
Just when they were trying to adjust their formation, they were attacked head-on by more than a hundred cavalrymen from Fei Qian. They were immediately defeated and fled in all directions.
Although it was difficult for the cavalry to pursue them on the long and narrow mountain road, Huang Cheng blocked the retreat of the white waves. Under the attack from both front and back, the whole battle was over in the time of a stick of incense.
Fei Qian stood in the middle of the rear of the battlefield. After the cavalry attack, they all returned to Fei Qian's rear column and reorganized. Cleaning the battlefield has always been the job of the infantry. The cavalry is responsible for reconnaissance and transportation.
Raid, outflank, intercept, etc.
Fei Qian also knew in his heart that without these more than a hundred cavalry, it would have been impossible to send Huang Cheng and other troops into the enemy's rear to intercept the enemy before Bai Bo arrived, nor would it be possible to directly defeat the opponent with one blow when the enemy was in chaos.
knock down.
No wonder that in the late Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge could only take a steady and steady route, taking Longyou first and then Chang'an. That was because Longyou was a place where horses were raised, and as Liu Bei's side, the short legs of Sichuan horses were congenitally second-class.
Disability...
The cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and there is basically no problem at all for hundreds of miles in a day. Any infantry that encounters cavalry on the plains can only protect themselves at best. It is a joke to try to catch up with the cavalry.
Of course, there is another reason for Zhuge's failure, that is, the Jizhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou areas, including Sili and Hedong in the later period, are now the main grain-producing areas in the Han Dynasty. The economic and population gaps that have accumulated over time are also
This became the reason why Zhuge became weaker the more he fought in the later stage.
Think again about the Sun family, which embraces the entire Jiangnan area. Although there is no development in the Lingnan area now, and there is no economy at all, Changsha and Lujiang are also land of fish and rice rich in rice, and Sun Shiwan every time
Dreaming of Hefei, if we take away the so-called improper command and other factors, will there be some embarrassing situations in Jiangnan where there are no horses available?
Cavalry!
Fei Qian glanced left and right. This time Bai Bo's military was strong. After establishing a firm footing, he would definitely send troops to the county to seize a piece of horse breeding land. No matter what, he must first form a cavalry team...
Why Dong Zhuo from Guanxi is so powerful is because Xiliang has so many cavalry!
My original Bingzhou old soldiers, plus the recruited barbarians, are probably more than a thousand, how about more?
Build two thousand first?
Or three thousand?
Alas, cavalry is very good, but there is an unavoidable prerequisite. Cavalry is too expensive!
Heavy armor costs money, and so does cavalry. The corner of Fei Qian's mouth twitched. Could it be that because his name is Fei Qian, it costs money...

If you want to live alone, you may only need a simple bowl of porridge, but it is not that easy to live well.
Yang Feng was a little distracted while holding the bowl of porridge.
Two days ago, Hu Cai returned with a huge defeat under Pingyang Old City, which made Yang Feng a little happy and a little surprised.
Fortunately, after Hu Cai's defeat this time, the direct soldiers under his command were basically completely exhausted, with only less than a thousand people left, which was basically no different from a small commander.
Hu Cai has been mostly nesting in his tent these days, obviously still licking his wounds...
But what's more surprising is that when a superior force was used to attack a dilapidated Pingyang County town that had almost no city defense, it actually resulted in a huge rout?
In Yang Feng's original estimation, the most likely possibility was that both sides would suffer losses, and then he would come back and end the situation in the end.
The combat effectiveness of this group of soldiers in Pingyang County is so strong now?
At this moment, someone outside the tent suddenly reported that a soldier from the front camp had discovered something important and came to report it.
Yang Feng put down the porridge bowl and said, "Come in!"
A Baibo soldier walked into the tent and bowed his hand to Yang Feng, but said nothing.
Yang Feng raised his eyes and looked at it suspiciously. He felt that it looked familiar, and suddenly his heart moved.
"Commander Qu, do you remember me?" Bai Bo's soldier smiled slightly.
"You..." Yang Feng subconsciously wanted to ask how he got into the camp, but he recalled that he was able to come and go freely in such a chaotic situation in Yong'an County that day, and the Baibo Army camp has always been loose and individual.
It is not very difficult for people to sneak in.
"...Please take a seat." Yang Feng stared at the visitor, remained silent for a moment, and said, "What advice can you give me when you come here?"
Bai Bo, who looked like a soldier, was not polite. He sat down cross-legged, smiled, and said, "I don't dare to give you any advice. I just saw that he is handsome and leisurely, so I came here to have a look."
Yang Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Why do you say this? The pioneer has been newly defeated and is waiting to be reorganized. How can you relax?"
Bai Bo's soldiers did not expose Yang Feng's excuse, but said: "I have something to say, I wonder if Commander Qu is willing to listen to it..."
"But there's no harm in talking."
"Those who act quickly, look ahead and look behind, and wait for the price to sell will end up being unhappy."
After being told his inner thoughts, Yang Feng's expression couldn't help but change slightly. Although there was an agreement before, naturally there is no guarantee that this agreement will be implemented. In the end, it still depends on his own hands.
Strength speaks for itself. There is no problem in letting Hu Cai go to attack Pingyang and waste his own troops. They are not his own people anyway, but he has to go with his own soldiers, just in case there is any consumption...
Yang Feng sneered: "Is this what your husband said?"
"No." Soldier Bai Bo slowly pulled out a small piece of silk cloth from his belt. There were obviously some writings on the silk cloth. He handed it to Yang Feng and said, "...This is the meaning of Hedong."
Yang Feng took it and looked at it. It was a surrender letter written in the name of Linfen County Sheriff...
Yang Feng frowned and said, "Why only use the name Linfen?"
Bai Bo's soldiers grinned and said: "The sun has not set yet, and Xiangling has not been taken. Why is Commander Qu dissatisfied?"
Yang Feng naturally understood the implication. It was not that he himself was dissatisfied, but that the people in Linfen were not satisfied. If he wanted to obtain a higher level of protection, he would have to capture Pingyang and Xiangling.
"There is a horse in Pingyang. It comes and goes like the wind. It is difficult to win quickly."
"There's no need to worry, Commander Qu. A rider will come from the west soon."
"If this is true, I will go to Pingyang immediately!"
Soldier Bai Bo nodded. Although the matter was settled, he had no intention of leaving.
"What else is there?" Yang Feng asked.
“How can we believe it without evidence?”
Yang Feng's eyes flashed, he pondered for a long time, and then said: "Good! If you stop for a moment, I will get the evidence from you..."
In fact, during the entire Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge and Sima finally determined the world...
Sun Shiwan, commonly known as Sun Houli, because he is very good at the job of holding back...
There's no way around it...
In fact, Luo Dada said it from the beginning...
Sun Jian is a fierce tiger...
But Jiangdong is a water town...
Mao told me that the South China tiger is dead...
Moreover, during the Three Kingdoms period, Lingnan was not developed...
Jiangdong produces glutinous rice, and then the Jiangdong nobles cling to this tiger...
