Zhao Tong led his troops to the north along the way.

There is no harm done between the army and the people.

It has accumulated an excellent reputation locally.

It is precisely because of this that the Han army marched all the way, as if they were in a deserted place!

The border towns that entered Longxi were harassed and wreaked havoc one after another.

Most of the local people turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear.

It was many days before the main force of Cao's army received the news.

The county is governed by Didao City.

In the camp here, Cao Jun's various units have basically assembled under the orders of the commander-in-chief Fei Yao.

After Zhang Ji, the governor of Liangzhou, learned of the battle report of the enemy's invasion of the country.

Various military supplies and young men recruited from counties and counties were organized into armies and were continuously transported to the front line.

The war between the two sides will be about to break out at this moment!

The main battlefield in Longxi is already in full swing.

Lintao line.

Hearing that Han knights were harassing the area one after another, Dai Ling, who was stationed in Xiangwu, did not dare to show any signs of neglect when he heard the news, but immediately organized a military meeting.

A pre-war meeting unfolds.

Dai Ling also maintained his role as a general at this moment, forcing himself to calm down in the panic of the war emergency.

And countermeasures were arranged based on the suggestions given by the generals.

More than a thousand cavalry were sent in advance to gallop along the Lintao line.

Reinforce the local garrison and strengthen the defense force.

To prevent enemy troops from attacking in the hinterland.

He himself sat in Xiangwu, presided over the overall situation in the southeast of Longxi and appeased the people.

Because when our side conquered the counties of Liangzhou, Wudu, and Yinping, everything they passed was massacred.

Although it made the local scholars and people fearful.

But because of this, I lost all the people on my side!

Especially after the reports of the enemy's troops moving northward in recent days, which showed no harm to Minqiu, Dai Ling instantly felt the seriousness of the matter!

If you don't deal with it carefully.

There may be problems such as civil unrest.

It was precisely because he had carefully considered the enemy's calculations that he did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

After ordering his troops to rush to support, he began to put the officials in charge and focus on appeasing the people.

We must not allow chaos in the rear.

As the saying goes, “A single move affects the whole body!”

As the fighting became more intense.

this moment.

The two armies in the West were busy in various places.

Especially Liu Yin, who was carrying nearly two thousand horses, and Zhang Ni and his troops rushed northward.

One rides two horses.

And this is a steed from the clan carefully selected by Ni Hongjing.

The mobility can be said to be full!

The knights I rate are basically light cavalry.

Neither the horses nor the cavalry were wearing heavy armor.

The cost of rushing into battle is far from unbearable.

Although Liu Yin was born in Bashu, this was the first time he led knights in battle. However, after the victory in the Hanzhong War, Xiliang War God Jin Machao returned to Nanzheng with his troops.

At Liu Bei's call, he summoned all the generals in the army.

Ma Chao roughly popularized the principles of cavalry warfare to the generals.

And how to deal with the fierce battle with Cao's army on the flat terrain of Guanyou and Hexi in the future.

During this time, he also showed an extremely serious look and mentioned it repeatedly with an emphasis on the tone.

The difference between heavy riding and light riding.

If you don't have absolute confidence in your own bravery, it is never recommended to charge into the battle with light cavalry.

That would only be a waste!

After saying this, he immediately gave an example of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that he trained and trained.

This knight corps is different from other cavalry.

The first is the gap in equipment.

Xiliang knights are basically all wearing armor and holding spears in their hands. Behind them are several spears with extremely sharp tips.

When charging into the formation, they will first strike with a spear.

To demoralize the enemy or break up the formation.

This is supplemented by rushing into the formation and fighting with spears.

However, the ordinary knight corps is far inferior to the Xiliang knights in terms of equipment, armor or weapons.

Currently, Liu Yin's cavalry are equipped with ordinary round shields and regular swords, and they carry long bows.

Obviously this is based on the use of mobility, surprise attacks, and harassment strikes.

It's not a head-on fight with the enemy.

What's more, Lintao is the outpost of Longxi.

Even if the reinforcements did not arrive, many soldiers of Cao Cao were still stationed.

And after Liu Yin carefully observed the defenses here.

This gave up the idea of ​​taking advantage of the situation to capture and occupy Lintao.

He obviously remembered Ma Chao's heartfelt words during this scene.

Now I am analyzing it calmly and objectively.

And since Lintao is difficult to break.

He then chose to attack surrounding cities one after another.

To break the treasury and take away all the treasury property.

To implement the strategy of using war to support war.

It was not until more than a thousand cavalry of Cao's army rushed into Lintao that the arrogance of Liu Yin and others was slightly restrained.

It can be attributed to the mobility of riding two horses.

Although the military strength of both sides in the southeast of Longxi was far inferior to that of Liu Yin's troops, there was still no problem in leading the cavalry to deal with them.

Seeing that it was impossible to find the main enemy cavalry to set up an ambush.

Dai Ling's military report came from the front line.

I also thought about it slowly.

Then gradually gave up!

Order to guard the pass tightly and not give the enemy knights a chance to attack.

As the two sides compete with each other.

The battle situation on the front line in Lintao gradually stabilized.

Both sides seemed to be holding a flag and keeping their troops stationary.

Cao's army, on the other hand, stood firm at the pass and remained unchanged in response to all changes.

Liu Yin and Zhang Yi were constantly calculating, and using the mobility of the knights, they circled around Lintao crazily, looking for opportunities to fight.

On the other hand.

As the main force led by Zhao Tong slowly marched in the southwest direction.

Gradually pushed to the southwestern border of Longxi.

All departments of the Han army were also in good order.
To be continued...
