As soon as the words came, the soldiers looked at each other with fear.

Wei Duoyou had noticed it a long time ago and smiled slightly: "Don't panic, you only bring 300 war horses from Nanjian as cavalry on this expedition. In addition, the Duke of the State will transfer 3,000 war horses from Fenghao camp to help. In addition, the reinforcements from the two countries of Guo and Yu are already on the way. As long as we fight bravely and earn rewards, we will be much better than dying on the bed with a coward in the epidemic!

As soon as this said, everyone believed it. As expected, as the chief minister, it was not difficult to transfer war horses from other places. Besides, there were reinforcements from the vassal states who were not fighting alone, and immediately raised their halberds to reconcile: "We are willing to go to war with the vanguard general!"

"Okay, kill the cattle and reward the soldiers, and set off in the afternoon!" Wei Duoyou ordered.

The northern country is extremely cold in spring. A red sun lies across the horizon, but it cannot bring a trace of warmth to the earth.

In the central tent of the front camp of the Zhou army, a military meeting with a dull atmosphere was being held. Wei Duoyou's light amber eyes were staring at the enemy-to-me situation map outlined in two colors on the map:

According to reliable war reports, the Qiqi army has reached the Rongdi County, less than fifty kilometers away from the front army of the Wangshi Army. But our side - although the logistics team sent military supplies to Qishan camp every day during the march, they transported some horses, and it is said that they are all good horses after recovering from the epidemic, but unfortunately the number is too small, usually more than a dozen, and more in recent days, only twenty or thirty horses. The goal of recruiting two thousand horses promised to go on the expedition is too far away. How can we fight against less than five hundred cavalry?

Since the deputy commander Lang Ben, the generals of the Zhou army were divided into two rows according to their official ranks and stood in front of the desk and obeyed the orders. Everyone's face was as cold as a hard iron plate. Unlike ordinary soldiers in each battalion, these people had already learned a news when they had just set out to fight: the number of military horses in Fenghao camp could not be as many as 2,000. What they were thinking in their hearts was not consistent with Wei Duoyou. Wei Duoyou thought about only advancing but not retreating, but what they thought was: whether to fight or retreat?

The troops of King Ao Xing of the lord were falsely claimed to be 100,000, but according to the Ma Lai report, there were actually 50,000 or 60,000, all of which were elite cavalry. In the face of such an army, at least 30,000 cavalry should be arranged when the troops were equal, and the remaining infantry would have a chance of victory with the support of combat vehicles. But now-----

Suddenly a subordinate general came into the tent and reported: "General Wei, the sentry officer who went out to patrol encountered the enemy and returned to the camp after he encountered the battle!"

Wei Duoyou said: "Come in the account quickly and report!"

A young school covered in blood ran in and knelt on one knee and said, "Report to General, Bei Zhi led ten cavalry to patrol the squad and encountered more than 60 cavalry of the Former Army. Bei Zhi led his troops to fight bloody battles and repel the bandits. Our troops killed five people, injured six people, and lost four war horses; beheaded at level eight!"

The school had arrow wounds on his face, and blood continued to seep out of the wounded rag. It seemed that he had indeed experienced a bloody battle.

Wei Duoyou jumped and asked, "Can you find the main position of the AFC?"

"I found it and headed towards the lacquer land, only thirty miles away."

Wei Duoyou ordered quietly: "Okay! Reward ten golds and be promoted to a registered lieutenant! Go down." With the order, a military judge immediately led the small school to get the reward.

Whether in the Wei State or in the Zhou army, Wei Duoyou had his own rules for governing the army: that is, rewards are unswerving and punishments are unswerving. The soldiers' goals of joining the army are different, but a hundred people go to the military camp to have the same meal, and only by strict rewards and punishments can they have military discipline. With military discipline and strict training, excellent equipment and good logistics are the prerequisites for winning every battle. When fighting a war, it depends on the talent of the commander. As the saying goes, a general is incompetent and exhausts thousands of troops!

Hearing that the army of qi is so close, the air in the tent is even more dull. Wei Duoyou wanted to relieve such a lifeless atmosphere, stared at Lang Ben and asked: "General Wolf, as the saying goes, the wonderful thing is that there are no more soldiers but are used. I, Wei Duoyou, joined the army for 15th, and have experienced countless bloody battles and are today. How many soldiers can I bring?"

"This------" Lang Ben was speechless for a moment. Although he was still the deputy commander, Wei Duoyou was the vanguard general granted by the emperor's imperial edict, and he was also a close confidant of Duke Zhao. He was in charge of military talismans and was more powerful than him. @·Wuwuzhuo starts~~ He also acted cautiously throughout his life, strictly abide by the rules, and survived countless battles. He was considered a respected senior in the Zhou army. He thought for a moment before he said: "The general is known as the "God of War in the Defense Kingdom", and the young hero is naturally the more he has better!".

"It's too much!" Wei Duoyou waved his hand and said, "Is it worth millions? There are not so many soldiers in the Great Zhou Dynasty to bring me...

When we set out, we only had three hundred horses and sixty thousand infantrymen. We also included the loss of food along the way. At present, there were only fifty thousand infantrymen. The horses and the camp sent by each army in recent days could be equipped with about five hundred cavalrymen. Now that we are running 60,000 cavalrymen, what do you think we should do?"

Lang Ben immediately responded: "I have been in the army for more than 20 years and have always advocated the principle of being safe. At present, our army has serious shortages of war horses, but one grassland cavalry can stand up to twenty infantry! It is better to lead the army to retreat temporarily, wait for the war horses to be filled and reinforcements are in place before fighting." As soon as this was said, all the generals agreed.

"General Wolf is indeed acting in accordance with the military tactics and ensures completeness everywhere." Wei Duoyou smiled slightly, then pointed to a place name marked on the map and said: "There is Qiyi in front of him, and the rosy is about to reach this place. The distance is so close that if you retreat slowly, how can you escape the rosy cavalry on both legs? They can run 300 miles in a day and night! The result is that we are chased and beaten all the way, and in this way, we will be wiped out. Besides, we have gone through a lot of hardships, just to retreat without fighting? How do we explain to the emperor? How to face the people of the world?"

"So what should we do according to General Wei's opinion? Should we start a war with infantry against cavalry?" As soon as Lang Ben said this, all the generals shook their heads secretly. Some of them were bolder and even complained in a low voice: "That's right! They also said that they could transfer two thousand horses, but they were all lie!"

Wei Duoyou ignored these comments and replied loudly: "I am just thinking about it! The Rong people are good at shooting, but most of them only have short bows and light arrows, and can only shoot at most one hundred steps. The crossbow arrows equipped by our army can reach four hundred steps, and ordinary hard bows can also shoot at two hundred steps. If we gather to shoot, the horses of the yell are probably unbearable. @                                                                                                                                                                                                           �

Lang Ben shouted loudly: "General Wei! General Wei is known for his usual cavalry. Don't you know that the time for the horse team to run 500 steps is only enough for the crossbowmen to shoot one arrow, and the archers can only have three arrows at most. Then the enemy has arrived beside him. What if he does this? Do you want your brothers to use the Heavenly Spirit Cap to block the thief's axes?"

After hearing this, Wei Duoyou was furious. If Lang Ben was not a senior, he would have scolded him: "Yes, I usually lead cavalry, but once and forth. Now that things have come to this point, are you hoping to run down from the world to fight horses?"
