Xiao Cao's military training was very boring. He only trained men and horses to advance and retreat together every day, and nothing else.
Shi Dayong originally wanted to see what it was like to attack Tiefu Tu, but the result was so boring, just like when he was training at the Wuzi Camp in Songshan that day, it had no appreciability and was just a novelty.
When I first looked at it, I was still in high spirits, but after looking at it for a long time, I actually wanted to go back to the city.
Xia Desheng and Li Yizhong who came with him were fascinated. They were cavalrymen. Although they thought heavy armored cavalry was too much fun before, now that Shi Dayong is determined to build a heavy armored wolf cavalry army, they are convinced.
I also cooperate and sincerely hope that this little Cao Qianzong can train a heavy armored cavalry army.[
Seeing Shi Dayong's dismissive look, Xia Desheng said with a smile: "General, in fact, this heavy armored cavalry relies on a suit of iron armor to charge forward, so as long as it can be practiced as a man and a horse, it will be enough. There is no need to practice horseback kung fu at all. By then,
Just give the order and rush out, even without weapons, it is enough for the slaves to drink a pot."
Li Yizhong also nodded and said: "Human armor weighs more than eighty kilograms. It is already strenuous to wear it on your body. Being able to lift a lance is considered very powerful. How can you use any horseback kung fu? If you do, you will lose your life."
Good thing, you should know that this cavalry battle relies on the collision of horses, and it is done in a blink of an eye. There is no room for any tricks. The last general watched Xiao Cao Qian's military training, and he looked at it carefully. He has got the essence of General Cao's soldiers, and it is not just a show.
.However, this kind of military training is naturally not as good as a martial arts competition in a school field. You can display eighteen kinds of martial arts. The general saw it and found it normal."
After listening to what the two of them said, Shi Dayong smiled: "That's true, I made you both laugh." After a pause, he added: "To tell you the truth, in fact, I surrendered myself to the army's commander-in-chief Shuntianma, and he has always been there.
The infantrymen have never been cavalrymen, so they are actually laymen with only a half-knowledge of the art of cavalry. However, the two of them have been under the command of Commander Zu for many years and are very proficient in the art of cavalry.
I need a lot of help from you two. The general alone will never be able to build the iron pagoda of our Han people." These words were very polite.
However, Xia Desheng said seriously: "General, you're welcome. Now that we have been transferred to the general's tent, we are his subordinates. I will try my best to share the general's worries and never dare to have selfish motives."
Li Yizhong also said sincerely: "What the general just said may be because he has concerns about the two generals. However, although the general and Xia Qian were transferred from Commander Zu, they admire the general very much. General
Just treat the two of us as subordinates, follow orders when they are given, and announce when there are adjustments. If the two of us disobey orders, the general will be engaged in military law. You must not treat the two of us like this. To be honest, the more polite the general is, the more polite he is.
Treat us two, and we will feel more and more connected with the general."
The two spoke sincerely, and Shi Da felt warm in his heart. He also felt that he was being too polite to them, as if he was telling them that he did not regard them as subordinates, and that there was something wrong with him.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to express his feelings, he suddenly heard the rapid sound of horse hoofbeats. He turned around and saw that the rider on the horse was a personal soldier of Governor Qiu.
When he saw that Shi Dayong was really here, the soldier breathed a sigh of relief and did not bother to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He hurriedly stepped forward and said: "General Shi, Mr. Futai wants you to go to the Yamen immediately for a military meeting!"
"Military discussion?"
Shi Dayong was stunned: The army of Hou Jin Dynasty has arrived?
Asked the soldier: "But the Jiannu army surrounded the Daling River?"
The soldier shook his head: "I really don't know what the military discussion is about. The general will know when he gets back now."
Qiu Hejia sent people to look for him in such a hurry. There must be something big happening. According to the estimated time, Huang Taiji should have arrived. It seems that the battle of Daling River has begun.
What is supposed to come will come sooner or later. If it comes one day earlier, people will be prepared one day earlier.
This time, it depends on how Qiu Hejia resolves the crisis in the Daling River.
After instructing Xia Desheng and Li Yizhong to help Cao Bianjiao train troops here, he took the mount from Guo Yi, and Shi Dayong ran non-stop towards the city.
……………
"When did Jiannu come?!"
After hearing the urgent report from the soldiers guarding the city, Zu Dashou was shocked and walked towards the top of the city. When he arrived at the top of the city, he looked down and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He saw that slave flags were planted everywhere around the city.
The tents set up are even more continuous, with no end as far as the eye can see.[
"Father, the golden soldiers have surrounded us!"
Seeing so many Hou Jin troops, Zu Zerun was so shocked that he screamed.
"Didn't I come to report from the scouting horse that the slave-building army was in the old Liaohe River? Why did it arrive here in a blink of an eye!" Wu Liangfu, the guerrilla in charge of military intelligence, looked at the city in a daze, unable to believe what he saw.
He Kegang came to understand, shook his head, sighed and said to Zu Dashou: "Hong Tai's troops are indeed unpredictable and unpredictable. It seems that he is planning to attack the east and attack the west. The so-called gathering of armies in the old Liaohe River is just a cover-up for his purpose.
He just kept us in the dark. Unfortunately, he really hid it from us."
"Jiannu came so quickly, he must have come from Yizhou. No wonder the scouts we sent to Yizhou didn't come back. Now it seems that they were all killed by Jiannu." Lieutenant General Liu Tianlu said with certainty.
"The Jiannu have surrounded us like an iron barrel. I think it's better to rush out with all our troops and horses before they gain a foothold and kill them all!" The one shouting was Gao Guanghui, a guerrilla.
"How many of us are there, and how many slaves are there? With just a few of us, it is already difficult to defend the city. If we go out, won't we be sending ourselves into the tiger's mouth?"
"Yes, Jian Nu is here to surround us, so we will just guard in the city. Reinforcements will definitely come from Jinzhou. When the time comes, we will cooperate with the reinforcements inside and outside, and it will not be too late to compete with Jian Nu."
"Who else can fight in Liaodong besides us?"
"It's definitely not possible to leave the city. Our only way is to rely on the fortification of the city and the powerful artillery, just like Zhao led the army to defend Jinzhou. As long as it lasts for a few days, the slaves will definitely withdraw their troops. How much food and grass can they bring after traveling thousands of miles? How much food can they eat?
When it's over, they will naturally retreat."
"..."
The generals were arguing over whether to defend or fight. After listening to a few words, Zu Dashou impatiently waved his hand to stop them, frowned and said to himself: "Those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come. The Eight Banners Army outside the city
No less than tens of thousands, it seems that Mrs. Hong has come with an army that will overwhelm the country. This posture is very promising for my ancestor's longevity."
Zhang Cunren was closest to him and could hear clearly, so he hurriedly reminded: "Commander Zu, while Jiannu has just set up camp, we should hurry up and prepare to defend the city."
Zu Dashou nodded: "Give me the order and immediately organize manpower to block the north wall. In addition, all armies will be on guard at the top of the city. The generals are not allowed to disarm to prevent the slaves from attacking the city."
