Chapter 722: Cao Cao is ready to make a move
Liu Feng's so-called system of filial piety and incorruptibility was despised by most of the princes in the world, and even more so by the great families of the world. Look.
In Xudu, he passed the thirty-eight examinations of filial piety and integrity within the Han Dynasty and was awarded an official position. He ranked among the top three in civil and military affairs and even paraded on horseback. What a grand event.
But within the scope of the world, it is nothing.
East County.[
At this moment, the situation in Dongjun is very different from last year. Last year, there were about 200,000 Cao troops inside and outside Dongjun.
But among them, 150,000 to 60,000 were infantry, and only 40,000 to 50,000 were cavalry.
Now, outside Dongjun City, there are 80,000 cavalry and 120,000 infantry.
Everything was thanks to Liu Feng's horseshoes and stirrups. Cao Jun was from the north, and most of them were able to adapt to war horses. Cao Jun's war horses were also numerous.
However, it is not easy to form a cavalry army. It takes at least two or three years to establish an elite cavalry force, which is really difficult.
In the past, Cao Cao's solution was to use enough cavalry, and infantry would be better for the rest. In addition, he selected cavalry and established the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to become invincible.
But since he had stirrups and horseshoes, Cao Cao was no longer afraid.
He converted infantry into cavalry on a large scale, and finally established a cavalry force of 80,000. After this period of training, this cavalry basically had the combat power of Dong Cheng's cavalry back then.
It can be said that if Cao Cao's cavalry were dragged out to Yongzhou and Liangzhou, they might be able to sweep Ma Teng and Han Sui. It would be very, very amazing.
This is also the intelligence obtained by Yuan Shao and Liu Feng, and the reason why Cao Cao is ready to take action.
Fortunately, Liu Feng also knew early on that stirrups and horseshoes are ghosts, and once they are released, they will be out of control.
Take insurance early, practice Modao, make repeating crossbows, and build up Han soldiers. Otherwise, I am afraid that they will really be wiped out by Cao Jun's iron cavalry.
Of course, Cao Cao doesn't know this yet.
Speaking of Cao Cao's mood at this moment, he is actually very similar to Liu Feng. In troubled times, strength is the most important. Apart from Liu Biao, Liu Zhang is really stupid.
Which prince would not be happy to see that he has an iron army that can dominate the world?
Therefore, just like Liu Feng, Cao Cao almost immediately came to the camp outside the city in person to watch the cavalry training.
To the north of Dongjun City, there is a huge camp.
The camp stretches for more than ten miles and is extremely spectacular.
This is a camp dedicated to 80,000 cavalry. At this moment, a total of 80,000 cavalry are galloping in the open space outside the camp.[
A total of 80,000 cavalrymen. No prince in the whole world can find such a fighting power. Eighty thousand cavalrymen and 320,000 horse hooves trampled the ground, causing the ground to shake, as if there was an earthquake.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock."
In the midst of the iron hoof craze, 80,000 iron cavalry are practicing the most basic tactics.
At the forefront of the 80,000 cavalry were 6,000 tiger and leopard cavalry. At this moment, the tiger and leopard cavalry had not only regained their strength, but also had a slightly stronger combat effectiveness due to the addition of stirrups and horseshoes.
At the forefront of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was Cao Chun, the first cavalry general of Cao's army. Commanding such a cavalry of 80,000, Cao Chun's mood was extremely agitated.
"Run left and right." Cao Chun waved his spear and shouted with a red wave covering his entire face.
