Qian Yu Feiqian's cavalry was divided into three marching columns, with the left and right wings slightly ahead, and a rear column behind the middle. The cavalry distribution among the four columns was similar.
Compared with the infantry, the cavalry's marching column is long and scattered. These four teams of people can control a considerable area during the march, like a net, heading towards Sucheng.
It just depends on whether Su Cheng will be a stone that tears the net apart, or a fish that falls into the net.
Behind the cavalry were the infantry. With the cavalry in front, the infantry felt much more at ease, and they followed the cavalry at the rear and marched straight forward.
The cavalry continued to advance. Along the way, Fei Qian sent at least nearly a hundred scouts, wandering forward, backward, left, and right, for a long distance. It could be said that within a radius of dozens of miles, they were within the detection range of these scouts.
If you want to defeat more than a thousand cavalry, or to give these cavalry a heavy blow, just relying on a few dozen or so people is basically wishful thinking, and once the number of people is large, no matter if it is smoke or other changes in the environment, you will not be able to escape.
The scouts have their eyes and ears...
But until now, it seems that these Xiliang soldiers stationed in Su City have no intention of engaging in a positional battle with Fei Qian, so they have been huddled in Su City and only sent some scouts to detect Fei Qian's movements.
Today, the sky is high and the clouds are clear, and the view is excellent. Not far away, the shadowy figures in front can already see the dark city. It is Su City where the Xiliang soldiers are entrenched and guarding, blocking the advance route of Fei Qian's army.
Many of the scouts released earlier came to report back, but nothing happened. The Xiliang soldiers were still on guard above the city. Some scouts had already crossed the city to check and warn others further away, and they were sharp with each other.
The sound of the whistle carried so far that even Fei Qian could faintly hear it.
Fei Qian looked at Su City in front of him, silently slowed down his horse, and raised his right hand. Behind him, Huang Xu loudly ordered: "All troops, stay still!"
With the horns and flags waving, the soldiers in charge of the flags in each queue immediately repeated Fei Qian's order, then immediately galloped back and forth in the queue and repeated it, and then rode towards Fei Qian, waiting for Fei Qian to issue the order.
The latest instructions are then retransmitted to the soldiers at the grassroots level.
At this time, the cavalry slowly stopped. Before Fei Qian's next specific move was obtained, the grassroots team leaders and commanders had already begun to follow the order, letting some people guard the periphery, and letting others
You can dismount. In addition to adjusting the harness straps, you can also take some beans. Regardless of whether it is your own horse or not, you can always put some into the mouths of these big guys, so that these gluttons can recover some of their physical strength.
Fei Qian sat on the horse, straightened his back, and looked at the dark city in front of him. In fact, from such a long distance, he couldn't see anything clearly. Even the flag above the city was almost a small black dot.
It's not that Fei Qian has never thought about telescopes, but that thing is really not easy to work with. Polishing is not a big problem, but pure crystal is almost a treasure in this era, and fired colored glaze has poor materials and technology.
, so it is impossible to produce completely pure-color transparent materials. In addition, the optical axis must be adjusted so that the focus of the lens can be exactly on a straight line. If you still want to make it portable, you can zoom in and out to adjust the focus. This...
So now the lines of sight are equal. Fei Qian can see Su City, so naturally the Xiliang soldiers above Su City can also see him.
Fei Qian pointed with his hand, turned around and said: "Looking at it like this, the Xiliang thieves just want to stay in the city! I once thought that this Xiliang was also a frontier soldier, and he was somewhat brave. But now it seems, hey...
…”
Several military princes who were following Fei Qian laughed when they heard this. Fei Qian was saying that Xiliang had lost its bloody courage, and the implication was that Bingzhou's army was now the strongest.
The army itself relies on the courage and self-confidence gained in these battles. More than a thousand elite light cavalry dare to line up under the city. Isn't this momentum a sign of the self-confidence and strength of the army itself?
At that moment, a military prince said with a smile: "Your Majesty! These can no longer be called soldiers, they are all thieves. Where does the bloody courage come from!"
"What kind of army are these? Can someone who robs his own people be called a Han army? As I say, go straight to Chang'an and let the world see the momentum of our Bingzhou soldiers!"
"I can get you! Junhou hasn't spoken yet, so it's your turn to talk nonsense!"
Fei Qian was not angry because of the words of these military princes. For Fei Qian himself, these military princes also represented the morale of the grassroots soldiers, and his subordinates were highly motivated to fight. This was a natural good thing.
So Fei Qian laughed loudly, swung his saddle and dismounted, and said, "Okay! Since these guys don't have the guts, we don't have to bother so much! Send the order, repair it on the spot, and wait for the rear troops to arrive!"
Fei Qian got off the horse, Huang Xu immediately got off the horse, moved the maza, let Fei Qian sit on it, and then led his personal guards around Fei Qian...
Fei Qian seemed to have a good time here, but the atmosphere above Su City was tense.
Li Meng and Wang Fang stood at the top of the city, pressing their hands on the battlements, with solemn expressions. Although they knew that they were going to face this day, they still found it difficult to calm down when they were right in front of them.
The Han Dynasty originally had two frontier armies, one was from Xiliang, and the other was naturally from Bingyou. In comparison, one cannot say who is higher and who is lower, but since the Han Dynasty implemented the strategy of shrinking the northern defense line of Bingzhou,
, the Bingzhou Legion was in decline, but unexpectedly, it was suddenly dragged into trouble by the person opposite!
So when Fei Qian slowly approached with more than a thousand Qingqi, Li Meng and Wang Fang did not dare to move, because they knew that the people facing them were not improvised troops, but battle-hardened warriors.
Such troops are the most difficult to deal with!
"They... actually dismounted? Didn't they even take any precautions? This... this is... hey!" Wang Fang frowned, stretched out his hand and patted the battlements heavily.
Li Meng put his hands on the arbor and looked far into the distance. He was silent for a while and then said: "Damn it! You actually look down on us!"
These Bingzhou cavalry troops were actually reorganizing themselves at such a distance, showing off their power in front of him so lazily! It was obvious that they did not take Xiliang soldiers into consideration. At such a moment, what surged in Li Meng's heart was
The huge anger overwhelmed him almost instantly!
Are these Bingzhou soldiers too confident in their own strength, or have they not truly seen the power of the Xiliang cavalry?
Seeing Fei Qian make such a move, even the guards behind Li Meng and Wang Fang looked a little angry. They all looked at Li Meng and Wang Fang to see if they were going to take advantage of the fact that the Bingzhou soldiers on the opposite side were waiting for their infantry to retreat.
When they arrive, let's fight first to dampen the spirit of these people...
