Chapter 2031 : Chapter 1028 The Situation of Both Sides (2)
"promise."
Everyone agreed.
Immediately, Liu Feng and everyone got on their horses and marched into Chang'an with whips raised.
After Liu Feng led his troops into Chang'an, they went straight to Pang Tong's Zhenxi General's Mansion and entered the hall. After entering the hall, Liu Feng knelt down and sat at the top of the table, while the rest of the people knelt down on both sides.
"I wonder if the construction of Yongzhou Iron Cavalry can be completed." As soon as he sat down, Liu Feng went straight to the topic and asked.[
"Reporting to the general, General Zhang, General Cheng, and General Hou of Yongzhou have each built cavalry with extraordinary fighting power." Pang Tong heard this and raised his fist to report back.
"good."
Upon hearing this, Liu Feng showed a look of satisfaction on his face and cheered.
Against the northwest, it would be impossible without cavalry. A year ago, Liu Feng's cavalry only had three lines of cavalry from Xu County. It was already very difficult to help Xu County, so naturally he could not devote himself to the war in the northwest.
In addition, Liu Feng defeated Chang'an and took in the candidates, Zhang Heng and Cheng Yi, three brave generals, and obtained many war horses. What's even better is that these three brave generals are quite good at cavalry.
So Liu Feng ordered these three generals to build a cavalry. After more than a year of experience, and with the help of stirrups, the cavalry was quite effective.
In this way, Liu Feng's ten-line army included one line of the king's general's personal soldiers, the most powerful infantry, and three lines of cavalry. The rest of the general's soldiers were ordinary infantry who were brave and good at fighting.
"How about the warship?"
After Liu Feng asked about the cavalry, he asked about the warships.
There is a Yellow River between Chang'an and Xianyang. The Yellow River is wide and has rapids. Without a ferry, it would be difficult to cross the Yellow River, let alone occupy the remaining territories of Yongzhou and Liangzhou.
Just like the cavalry, Liu Feng ordered Pang Tong to start building warships as early as a year ago.
"There are twenty large ships and fifty small ships that can cross the Yellow River." Pang Tong reported back after hearing this and did not disappoint Liu Feng.
"There are scholars in Chang'an, so I really have no worries." Liu Feng was very satisfied when he heard this and said with a smile.
"This was built by Yuan Chang who mobilized the people's strength. The general will not dare to take the credit." Hearing this, Pang Tong smiled at Zhong Yao and said.
"But it's your job. General Zhenxi doesn't dare to take credit. How can I dare to take credit?" Zhong Yao smiled slightly when he heard this.
Although he surrendered, he was not timid and he was truly a talented person.
"It's just a matter of being lonely and partial. There are scholars, and Yuan often sits in the west, so he has nothing to worry about. Hahaha." Liu Feng laughed.
Liu Feng sighed in his heart, Zhong Yao was a talented person, and it was indeed right to retain Zhong Yao, trust him, and reuse Zhong Yao.
"Hahaha."[
What Liu Feng said in the club was quite interesting, and everyone laughed.
"Where are Ma Teng and Han Sui? How are their soldiers?"
After laughing, Liu Feng asked again. We have cavalry, infantry, infantry kings, and warships. It can be said that we are fully prepared, but Liu Feng knows nothing about the specific situation of the enemy.
It is said that if you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
It was naturally impossible for Liu Feng not to ask, and Pang Tong should be the person who knew the best about this issue.
"According to the report from the spies, Ma Teng and Han Sui each raised 70,000 troops and 140,000 troops were stationed in Xianyang. Among them were 80,000 infantry and 60,000 cavalry. They had generals Ma Chao, Pang De and Yan Xing under their command."
All the information was naturally in Pang Tong's chest and abdomen, and he said it without thinking after hearing the words.
"There are 140,000 troops, of which 60,000 are cavalry. The northwest is rich in good horses, and the people in the northwest are extremely ferocious. The combination creates a brave and capable army. It is indeed a powerful enemy and should not be underestimated."
Liu Feng sighed after hearing this.
They have an army of 140,000, and 60,000 are cavalry. And he also has this army, but only a small 36,000 cavalry. This is a gap.
As expected, Ma Teng and Han Sui in the northwest can only despise them in their hearts, but in actual fighting, they have to be extremely cautious.
