Chapter 2211 The old Cao family who took the wrong path
The mortality rate of Xiliang Iron Cavalry in this "training" mode is too high. Before leaving, Guo Bang warned Wu Xi that he would see at least 3,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry when he came back, which meant that the mortality rate could not exceed one-third.
1, otherwise you may be chased and beaten by Guo Si.
However, Wu Xi only has 700 or 800 regular cavalry. If he drags 4,000 newcomers to launch a war, there is no training value in fighting novices. If he fights hard, there will be no problem with his 7800 men, but the 4,000 newcomers will not be able to fight.
If the battle continues, half of it will be lost.
Although the Xiliang cavalry were trained on the battlefield back then, which was extremely cruel, the death rate was not terribly high. No matter how crazy Li Ru was, he still had to consider the number of troops.
Therefore, in that era, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry had always been led by veterans and new recruits to fight relatively low-intensity wars. Incidentally, this was also an important reason for the stability of the Iron Cavalry Pyramid System.
The seniors brought up newcomers, and it was on the battlefield. The newcomers grew up very fast, and the unhappy ones would definitely die. Generally, it only took seven or eight battles to grow up. At that time, the war in Liangzhou did not stop at all, and almost every day
When fighting, as long as you choose the battlefield well, the veterans are elite enough, and there are no accidents, the new recruits will become combatable soldiers within a month of completing the set.
The mortality rate of this process is about one-half, but the time it takes is very short, so the transformation speed from newcomers to veterans is very fast. Naturally, those so-called veterans can better understand the newcomers and can teach them better. In short
It can be regarded as a virtuous circle on the battlefield.
However, since Liangzhou was pacified, the Xiliang cavalry no longer had a suitable training ground.
"That's okay." Wan Peng nodded. To put it bluntly, he was letting his veterans act as nannies. This kind of thing seemed to Wan Peng to be no problem. It just so happened that the cavalry he led was barely tempered. Seeing blood was conducive to progress.
.
"By the way, what's going on here? I feel like my breathing becomes a lot heavier as I go up." Wan Peng and Wu Xi were chatting while walking up. As they walked, they realized something was wrong.
"I've said it before, ordinary people can't get up to this place, and it's easy to get killed if you go up there." Wu Xi hummed and said with pride, "Those who don't have the talent and elite qualities to get up here are just ordinary people.
The higher the soldier level is, the more you have to lie down on the ground."
"Uh, is there such a place?" Wan Peng looked at Wu Xi in surprise and said.
"I'm not the kind of person who makes jokes." Wu Xi said with a sneer, "Look, except for that part of the Qiang cavalry below, most of them won't be able to get up to that position."
Wan Peng was silent when he heard this, "You know?"
"It's not like you are unprepared, my daughter of the military counselor." Wu Xi sneered and said. Li Yuan had sent someone to contact them before, and Wu Xi had already made preparations with his hundreds of cavalry.
When the Xiliang Iron Cavalry faced the Qiang Cavalry, the battle was generally not determined by the number of people and the small number, but basically by the momentum. The eight hundred genuine Xiliang Iron Cavalry put the Qiang Cavalry under more pressure than the ones currently brought by Wanpeng.
People put a lot of pressure on Qiangqi.
"Well, you know, be careful with the Qiang cavalry. They seem to be trying to bite back..." Wan Peng explained, but was interrupted by Wu Xi before he finished speaking.
"There are so many people who want to counterattack, so it doesn't matter if there is one more Qiang cavalry. The wolf cavalry is still trying to challenge us every day, so why don't they train here too?" Wu Xi sneered, pointing to another hilltop where Gao Shun and others had left him.
The wolf knight soldier here said, "Being attacked can only be said to be due to lack of strength."
Wan Peng was speechless. Although his words made sense, they were no different from nonsense.
"Female Young Master, if you feel any discomfort, please tell us. The environment here is not suitable for ordinary people to live." Seeing that Wan Peng was speechless, Wu Xi rode his horse to Li Yuan to ask again.
"Don't worry about me. In this kind of environment, as long as I don't do too many movements, there won't be any big problems." Li Yuan half-opened her eyes and said. She knew why it was like this and how to avoid it. Of course, if the height is really high,
It was too high, so she had to rely on doctors.
Seeing that Li Yuan had no problem, Wu Xi glanced at the Qiang cavalry not far away who had been recruited by his men. It was obvious that the Qiang cavalry reacted completely differently to Wan Peng's men and Wu Xi's men.
When Wu Xi's cavalry saw the Qiang cavalry, they started to act like picking cabbage in the vegetable market, picking the better ones for themselves as followers. As for the reaction of the Qiang cavalry, Wu Xi's men were not at all stupid. If they disobeyed, they would punch them.
If you dare to resist, hit the opponent until he can no longer resist.
This is almost the true nature of those cavalrymen who hung out in Xiliang back then. Strong, very strong, so what, kneel down at our feet to understand the true power.
Soon the more than 5,000 so-called Qiang King's escorts were picked off by Wu Xi's cavalry. One person with six or seven followers began to form a habitual formation, and the Qiang cavalry seemed to react after being beaten.
Instinctively began to cooperate with the iron cavalry.
"That's it. Sometimes you just need to use your fists to reason." Wu Xi whistled and looked at his men. After selecting the Qiang King's escort, they began to scan left and right to see if there were any Qiang cavalry. Wanpeng's iron cavalry was terrible.
Far away.
"They are already super elite with dual talents." Wan Peng sighed as he looked at the Qiang King's guard who was sparsely pulling under the cavalry led by Wu Xi.
"So what?" Wu Xi said with a smile, "You just think too much. Even so, what does it matter? Didn't the Qiang cavalry we led back then dare to fight the Bingzhou Langqi? How are they worse than they are now?"
"You didn't see it when we left Liangzhou. Our headquarters only had 30,000 to 40,000 men. Niu Fu and the others still had to garrison at Tongguan and other passes. The actual headquarters heading to Luoyang only had 20,000 to 30,000 men. But with the Qiang cavalry, we were so powerful.
More than 100,000." Wu Xi said as if remembering those days.
"Back then, we didn't call it a trap. We were still Lu Fengxian's bodyguards. Fei Xiong took us, and we led the Qiang cavalry to fight against the enemy. Do you think these rubbish would dare to take action against the Army Soul Army?" Wu Xi turned sideways with a mocking look on his face.
He pointed his fingers at the Qiang King guards.
Before Wan Peng could answer, Wu Xi had already spoken, "Don't dare. Ordinary elites, the so-called dual talents, don't dare to take action against the Army Soul Legion. In this world, there is no truly strong general who dares to fight against the Army Soul Legion."
There are only a handful of elites who fight."
"We are one of them, and they are rubbish." Wu Xi said with a sneer.
Wan Peng was silent. These madmen in Xiliang indeed dared to fight against the Army Soul Corps, and they were indeed fearless.
"So don't worry about them. They are our former auxiliary soldiers. Calling them first talent and second talent has no meaning at all. Auxiliary soldiers are auxiliary soldiers." Wu Xi curled his lips disdainfully, not looking down on it, but
He can guarantee that no one will dare to rebel under his leadership as far as those Qiang cavalry are concerned.
"..." Wan Peng had nothing to say. He suddenly realized that he might have been away from the atmosphere of the cavalry for so long that he no longer had the courage to ignore the crowd.
"It seems that what you said is right. In today's world, you are the only legion that dares to attack the soul of the army without the leadership of a top general." Wan Peng said to you with disappointment. He probably no longer belongs to this group.
.
When Li Yuan's bicycle frame arrived, a large area of ββββLi Jue's town had been cleared for these newcomers.
However, compared to the Wolf Cavalry Headquarters, Gao Lan Headquarters, and Danyang Elites who had climbed up quite easily in the past, this wave of Xiliang Cavalry and Qiang Cavalry were a little unsteady just after climbing up.
"It's a bit far behind." Li Yuan glanced at the veterans who didn't care, and then looked at the newcomers who had been promoted after a battle, and sighed in her heart, the difference was indeed a bit far, but if it were so simple, it could be done
To achieve such a reputation as the strongest is too worthless.
"Is Sister Yueying here?" Li Yuan sighed and calmed down, then looked at Wu Xi and asked.
"Over there." Wu Xi pointed to the house in the center and said. It was obvious that Huang Yueying had occupied the main position by now.
Li Yuan nodded and didn't say much. Li Yuan was not surprised that Huang Yueying could convince these Liangzhou guys so quickly. She had known the other party's intelligence a long time ago, but no matter how smart the other party was, she had no choice but to look back now.
.
"It looks like we are not the only ones here?" Li Yuan asked again.
"Well, there are two groups of strong soldiers who are also training here. One group is the veteran soldiers of the Yuan family, who are trained here by the Gao Gan brothers, and the other group is the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, who are training here on their own." Wu Xi pointed to the surroundings.
Shantou explained, and you could vaguely see the soldiers training above.
Li Yuan nodded. In fact, what she wanted to ask was Cao Jun, because based on her previous movements, it was impossible for Cao Jun to not react, and she had not seen Cao Jun along the way. Cao Jun took a detour at his own expense. He should have run in front of her.
I went there, but I didn't expect that Wu Xi didn't know about it. It was obvious that Cao Jun was afraid that he had got lost.
In fact, Li Yuan's estimate was good. Cao Jun was indeed lost because the road out of Yumen Pass had not yet been repaired. After bypassing Li Yuan, Cao Jun found a guide and headed west.
The terrain of the Western Region, which is now Xinjiang, to put it bluntly, is three mountains sandwiched between two basins. So if we want to design roads, they must be on the edge of the basin where people can live.
The road that Li Jue originally took was along the edge of the Tarim Basin, through Hami, Turpan, and Aksu, and finally turned to the Pamir Plateau, also known as Congling.
It was the first time for Cao Cao to go out to the Western Regions, and he felt that he could solve the problem on his own, so he found a guide and ran away from the front, bypassing Li Yuan. However, the guide completely misunderstood what Cao Ren meant, so naturally Li Jue did not leave.
That road instead turned in another direction, taking Gushi, then turning to the North Cheshi Kingdom of the Six Kingdoms, and finally entered Yili.
Fortunately, he ended up in a place called Ili in later generations. If he really ran around, Cao Ren might have had to talk about his life ideals with the tribes and small countries he met this time. Fortunately, he found a good place before food and grass were cut off.
