Chapter 546: The brave knight in the world
After hearing the question, Pang De's face instantly became serious, and then he pondered for a moment before he raised his hand and answered:
"Reporting to General Zhao, the Iron Chariot Soldiers have heard something about it!"
"Ling Ming, please tell me in detail."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Tong's face instantly revealed his deep interest as he responded.
"It is said that the Iron Chariot Soldiers were originally the personal bodyguards of Cheriji, the leader of the Xiqiang Kingdom.
Ever since Cheriji had a falling out with the Shaodang Qiang and fought against each other, he had also relied on this bodyguard as a basis to win consecutive battles and defeat the punitive troops sent by the Shaodang royal court one after another.
As a result, it became so famous that it successively annexed several tribes nearby."
Pang De looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "The Cheriji split relied on the combat power of this guard army to seize many tribal territories of the Shaodang Qiang, and gradually established a firm foothold."
"Later, a man named Yadan took refuge. Although this man is a Qiang, he is very knowledgeable, understands our Han culture quite well, and is also very resourceful."
"It was under this person's plan that Cheriji took advantage of the civil strife in Liangzhou counties with his elite bodyguards and sent troops to attack the Huangzhong area to the west of Jincheng County. He followed the example of our Han Dynasty in founding the country and becoming the king, and established the capital. Linqiang."
"Due to the superior combat power of this bodyguard, they followed Cheriji in the north and south and made great achievements in battle."
"It is also a corps mainly composed of cavalry and chariot formations, so after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Cheriji named it the Iron Chariot Corps."
"It means indestructible and invincible."
After speaking slowly, Pound briefly described the history of the Iron Chariot Soldiers. Then, with a very serious look on his face, he raised his hand and reminded:
"This corps is the ace force under Cheriji. It has fought many tough battles over the years. Our army must not underestimate it!"
As soon as the words fell, the tent suddenly fell into silence.
After listening to this, all the generals showed solemn expressions on their faces.
According to what Pound said, the iron chariot soldiers are indeed powerful!
They were suddenly worried about whether the total annihilation of the reinforcements from the Western Qiang thieves mentioned by their general was feasible?
"Hahaha……"
But just when all the generals looked worried, Zhao Tong, who was at the top, had a happy face and laughed loudly.
After a while, he stopped smiling and looked at Pang De again and asked, "What do you think will happen if we compete with the Xiliang cavalry under your command?"
As soon as these words came out, Pound, who was still looking worried at first, suddenly smiled and responded rather complacently:
"General, compared to our Xiliang cavalry, the iron chariot soldiers are like the light of fireflies compared to the brightness of the bright moon!"
After saying this, all the generals and commanders who were still immersed in the amazement that the iron chariot soldiers were so powerful and difficult to deal with started to wake up one after another, full of doubts on their faces.
What the hell? What’s going on?
Pound, who has always been poor in words and has a serious face, can actually preach?
Can the Xiliang cavalry really crush the iron chariot soldiers?
This is not to blame for the generals' wild imagination. The key point is that this bragging is too exaggerated, right?
Is the light of fireflies brighter than the bright moon?
What a huge difference this is!
However, Pang De, who was on one side, glanced around and seemed to notice that something was wrong with the expressions on the faces of the generals. He then turned serious again and said loudly:
"The reason why the general made such an assertion is that he defeated the iron chariot soldiers in Xiliang again."
"General Pang, how do you say this?"
As soon as he said this, Ma Zhong, the general on one side, quickly handed over his hand and asked.
Hearing this, Pound put on a smile and said: "First, of course, it is the difference in the composition and overall quality of the soldiers."
"The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is basically an elite cavalry formed by two generations of General Ma Shoucheng and General Ma Mengqi."
"Most of the soldiers are descendants of the Qiang people. They have been skilled in bow and horse since they were young. They have followed General Meng Qi in battles for many years and fought in blood and fire. They have long been forged into elites in a hundred battles."
After finishing his words, he paused for a moment, and then said in a deep voice:
"The second is the legion composed of iron chariot soldiers with cavalry + chariot formation."
"General Ma once encountered a foreign army from the west in his early years and learned a skill.
It’s called Javelin Tactics.”
"Whenever the cavalry under the general's command goes into battle, each of them will carry several javelins about several meters long. Before the battle, the mobility of the cavalry is used to continuously pull and throw the javelins to deal with the inflexible vehicle formations and fragile protection of the iron chariot soldiers.
The cavalry formation can only be broken easily!"
The conversation was so eloquent that all the generals seemed to be intoxicated.
"Xiliang Iron Cavalry actually has such a sharp weapon?"
"According to what General Pang said, if we use the Xiliang cavalry to intercept and kill the Xiqiang thieves this time, our chances of winning will greatly increase!"
"Yes, yes! General Ma was indeed the mighty general who could intimidate Liangzhou."
"The most heroic knight in the world is worthy of his reputation!"
Even though the generals present had not personally seen the real terror of the Xiliang cavalry, they relied on the reputation spread in the past and heard Pound's vivid description at close range.
The generals still have Yu Ji in their hearts.
After hearing Pang De's story, Zhao Tong, who was at the top, did not change his expression, but in his heart he became a little firmer in his plan to intercept and kill the Western Qiang thieves.
"Do you dare to leave with me and my cavalry this time?"
As soon as these words came out, all the generals were shocked and pale.
ha?
Is his general planning to personally lead a team to intercept and kill the Xiqiang bandits?
All the generals do not want the commander-in-chief to put himself in danger!
So everyone stood up and gave them advice.uuReading www.
"General, think twice before you act!"
"You are the commander-in-chief of the army, you must not make any mistakes,"
"This battle is too risky. The iron chariot soldiers are very powerful. It's okay for the last general to go with General Pang to defeat the enemy. The general stays behind to command the siege!"
All of a sudden, Liu Yin, Ma Zhong, the guard general Huo Yi and others all offered their hands to persuade him with sincerity.
However, this is Zhao Tong's consistent temperament.
How can a decision be easily changed?
"No, no!"
Zhao Tong, who was at the top, suddenly stood up tall, looked at the generals on both sides, waved his hands and said loudly: "You are wrong,"
"This time, the entire territory of Longxi is basically under the control of our army. Only the three cities of Didao, Xiangwu and Longsang are isolated and helpless, and the enemy troops are trapped in the city."
"And annihilating the Xiqiang reinforcements and pretending to be their troops to lure the enemy to attack is the key for our army to quickly defeat the three cities."
"There is no room for failure in this battle! As the commander-in-chief of an army, I have to be responsible for the main direction of attack."
After finishing speaking, before the generals could respond, Zhao Tong continued:
"Ma Zhong, after I leave, the overall situation of the siege will be left to you."
"You have been following me for many years, and it is no longer a problem to be your own man. You must not let me down!"
The words he said almost announced that Zhao Tong was determined and wanted to lead his troops to fight in person.
The generals can only follow the orders and cannot disobey them.
"Ling Ming, you will attack with me this time. If the Xiliang cavalry under my command can help me defeat the Xiqiang thieves, I will definitely fight for the javelin in the future."
