Compared with Zhang Yuewan and He Bugui's sneak attack on Jiangnan Road, Xin Ke in Youyun Sixteen Prefectures was much tougher. The three cavalry generals in Hetao were good at killing with blood, and good at attacking with respect.
Ke is good at fighting. Compared to bloody killing and worship, Xin Ke prefers face-to-face fighting. This does not mean that Xin Ke is the kind of brave and foolhardy warrior, but it is just because his personal tactical style is different.
After the Battle of Jinzhou, the traces of the cavalry had been exposed anyway, and Fengjing and Xingke were no longer polite. Under the command of the two men, the mobility and high speed of the light cavalry were fully utilized. Twenty thousand cavalry came from the west.
Wuzhou on the Taihang Road fought all the way to Fangzhou on the Donghai Road in the east. On the way, he killed less than 20,000 soldiers from the three Northeastern countries and massacred more than 200,000 civilians, while losing less than 1,000 of his own. But soon, Fengjing
He was transferred back to Hetao by God's will, and Xin Ke became the sole leader of this army.
For the 20,000 cavalrymen wandering around Youyun Sixteen Prefectures in Hetao, whether it is Yelu Chixian on Taihang Road, Heji Muler on Beiyuan Road, or Jin Zongwu on Donghai Road, they are all a special headache. If troops are sent to intercept, the infantry will definitely
No, Xinke's bravery is well known to everyone in the Three Northeastern Kingdoms. Without several times the number of troops, there is no way to stop him. And Xinke is not an idiot. If you can't defeat him, you can still run away. If you send cavalry to pursue him, He
It's not like Jimuler hasn't tried it before. As a result, Xinge started playing hide-and-seek with him in Youyun Sixteen Provinces. Everywhere he went, he drove the local people to create trouble for Hejimuler. He was really anxious to be chased.
Xing Ke simply slipped to the nearby Taihang Road or Donghai Road. In this case, Hekimur could not lead his troops into the territory west of Mandan Haixi in person, so he had to notify the local garrison first. As a result, in this time, Hetao
The cavalry has already fled. And if you don't send troops to pursue, then you will just divide your troops and station them in various places. Let's not talk about whether the troops in your hands are enough. The area along the way is at least five states and twenty counties. Even if there are 200,000 troops, it will be spread out.
There won’t be much going on. Besides, Xinke has 20,000 fine cavalry in his hands. If this continues, won’t he be eaten up by the opponent? Another key factor in the matter is the lack of cooperation between the garrisons of the three northeastern countries. Without a powerful warrior like Cassimbas,
There are people with high prestige above, and the three commanders-in-chief of Youyun Sixteen Provinces are not willing to succumb to others. Therefore, the armies of the three parties do not cooperate well, but after being taught a good lesson by Xin Ke, most of them
Hejimul and Jin Zongwu, who were furious, finally decided to strengthen the joint combat capabilities of both parties to jointly encircle and suppress the 20,000 cavalrymen. Of course, before this, a joint military exercise was needed to enhance the tacit understanding between the two parties.
The location for the joint military exercise was chosen in Gubei County, Youzhou, at the junction of Beiyuan Road, Yanzhou and Donghai Road, Youyun. Except for the eastern area of Taihang Road and near the Great Wall Defense Line, most of the Youyun Sixteen Prefectures are vast plains. Of course
, Such a plain is not absolutely flat, and there are still many undulating places. Occasionally, there will be some low hills embedded in it. This kind of terrain is particularly suitable for the display of cavalry's combat effectiveness, and is also suitable for the needs of military exercises.
For this reason, Hejimul and Jin Zongwu each led an army of 30,000 infantry and cavalry to participate in the military exercise. However, what they did not expect was that Xinji, who had already received the news, also took a fancy to this military exercise.
Walking through the thick snow, the 60,000-strong army of Baijing and Haixi marched majestically on the outskirts of Gubei County to begin the first military exercise between the two countries since they entered the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun. It was obvious that both sides were
They did not want to lose face during this military exercise, so the soldiers brought by both sides this time were all elites of their own armies, at least on the surface. With Hekimul's order, six soldiers
Wan Dajun began a massive military exercise on the outskirts of Gubei City. Here, the main exercises were the joint combat capabilities of both sides and the coordination of infantry and cavalry. Although it was already cold winter, the soldiers on both sides were wearing thick armors.
Cotton jacket, but the morale of both sides is still very high, and although the cooperation between the two sides is still a bit rusty, this at least represents a good start, doesn't it?
But at this moment, a soldier came to report a very bad news, that is, the Hetao Liu bandits led by 20,000 cavalry were raiding Yanzhou City with great momentum. However, the defenders in the city fought back desperately, and temporarily
Contained the Hetao cavalry offensive.
Hejimu'er became a little depressed when he heard this. He originally thought that the two countries were jointly conducting military exercises here. Even if Xin Ke had the courage, he would not dare to come to provoke him. Who would have known that the other party actually came. Yanzhou
There were originally 20,000 defenders in the city, but for this military exercise, Hekimur had already removed 15,000 soldiers. As a result, there were only 5,000 defenders in the city. However, the 20,000 cavalry in Hetao were there.
They would definitely not be able to capture the city in a short period of time, and they might even be bitten by the defenders in the city. Thinking of this, Hekimur ordered his 15,000 cavalry without hesitation, and the cavalry from Gubei to Yanzhou
It only took less than three hours, and the infantry needed at least half a day in such a cold winter. Therefore, Hekimul simply left his infantry behind and let them defend on the spot to prevent the Hetao cavalry from moving away from the mountain. And Jin Zongwu
Seeing this, he simply led his own cavalry and accompanied Hekimur all the way. After all, he finally caught the tail of the letter and no one was willing to let it go. The 30,000 infantrymen were under the command of Bai Jing's deputy general Youkelonsi and Hai.
Under the leadership of Lieutenant General Jin Deshan of the West, they were on alert to prevent a possible sneak attack by the Hetao cavalry. It was just that it was freezing now. I didn’t feel it during the military exercise just now, but now that I stopped, I felt chilly, especially after the outburst just now.
They were covered in sweat, and now they felt even colder. Youkelons and Jin Deshan were not idiots. After waiting for two hours and still nothing happened, they simply ordered a few officers to supervise the formation, while they entered
It was warm in Gubei County. After all, Gubei County is just a county and cannot accommodate 30,000 soldiers at all, so the 30,000 Baijing Haixi Infantry had to make do on the outskirts of the county. But what they didn’t expect was that the 20,000 soldiers in Hetao
The cavalry was actually less than thirty miles west of them now.
"Commander, the soldiers are all ready and waiting for your order." When Zhang Zhenxin came to report, Xin Ke had just finished taking a bath with ice and snow, and was exposing the red and strong muscles of his upper body while making a makeshift
Looking at the map inside the tent.
Xin said without looking back: "Everyone has washed their bodies with ice and snow?"
Zhang Xingxin nodded quickly: "That's right. The soldiers have all finished scrubbing."
Xinke finally raised his head and said, "No soldiers are sick, right?"
Zhang Xinxin chuckled: "Not this time. To be honest, after such a long period of training, these boys are already in very good physical condition."
"That's right." Xinke laughed and said, "If this trick doesn't work, then why should I deliberately torture them?" In order to train the 20,000 Hetao cavalry as soon as possible, Xinke also thought of many ways. An excellent
Soldiers must not only have good psychological quality and combat skills, but also need to have a strong body and a tough will. In response to the weaknesses of this Hetao cavalry, Xinke has also adopted corresponding methods. The most cruel one is that every day every day
Soldiers had to bathe in ice and snow.
At the beginning, except for the dozen or so officers who had been following Xin Eng Iron Hoof since he left the fortress, none of the other soldiers in the cavalry dared to wash themselves. After all, it was so cold that they actually took off their clothes in the cold weather.
Bathing in ice and snow in the ice and snow, isn't this murder? However, the military order was like a mountain. When the military law was engraved and those who disobeyed the order were ordered to be killed, these soldiers realized that the commander was definitely not joking. As a result, the 20,000 soldiers had no choice but to
I had no choice but to obey the order tremblingly. On the first day, more than 3,000 soldiers were sick to varying degrees, but Xinqi didn't care about this. When they were outside the Great Wall, the weather was colder than now, but in that situation
Under the circumstances, tens of thousands of cavalrymen finally persisted and became the elite cavalry warriors in Hetao. Fortunately, after the first day of life and death, the Hetao cavalry also began to get used to the hellish torture of their coach. And when they
After persisting for half a month, their physical fitness has been greatly improved. Up to now, they no longer regard bathing in ice and snow as a kind of torture. It is at this time that they have become a truly elite team.
He casually pulled his own clothes and put them on, and then Xin Ke asked: "Have Heji Mu'er's cavalry arrived in Yanzhou City?"
"Not yet. It should still be half an hour, but when he arrives and sees the intact Yanzhou City, he will probably be very depressed." Zhang Zhenxin said with a laugh.
Xin Ke nodded: "That's good, let the soldiers start preparations. As soon as Heji Mu'er and Jin Zongwu saw that Yanzhou City was intact, they would definitely think that they had fallen into our trap of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, so they would definitely go back to the ancient times with all their strength.
Beixian rescued their 30,000 infantrymen. Well, let's give them a surprise and let them understand that in fact, it can also be understood in this way. Let the boys below be more energetic. After so long training, they are already fully equipped.
The only thing they lack in their ability to compete head-on with the Northeast Cavalry is confidence. Now I will give them a chance to build up their confidence."
What Xin Ke did was indeed to divert the tiger away from the mountain, but what they planned was not just the 30,000 infantry in Gubei County, but the 30,000 cavalry of Hejimul and Jin Zongwu. First, Liu Zhiya led a thousand cavalry to the front with great fanfare.
Go to attack Yanzhou City, mobilize Hekimur's cavalry, and then give him an intuition of being caught in a trap, so that he can quickly return to support the infantry hanging behind. At this time, the Hetao cavalry who are recharging their strength is ambushing them.
On his only way, the Beijing cavalry, which had been killed and exhausted, was caught off guard. What Xinke didn't expect was that Jin Zongwu actually led his fifteen thousand cavalry to join in the fun. However, Xinke was not polite, and thirty thousand
Although the cavalry was a bit too much for him, he could still barely bear it. The original plan remained unchanged, and 20,000 cavalry were quietly lurking near the Zhujia Village, which was the only way for the Northeastern cavalry to pass.
