If we talk about the ethnic groups with the most abundant martial virtues in the world, the Chinese nation dares to say that they are second, but I am afraid no one dares to say that they are first!
Today's territory was all carved out by our ancestors with swords.
We are by no means like the furry bears, with a greedy desire for land.
We will definitely be like our clan, with the shameless desire to be strong.
Feiyu has brought intelligence, and the Xianbei people have prepared a trump card to deal with their own Sanqian Wuqian.
Armor is more difficult to obtain than weapons.
Even the armor rate of the Han army was very small, let alone the backward Hu people.
The Xianbei people were able to defeat the Qiang people and rule the Hexi region this time because of the killer weapon in their hands.
In order to obtain the three thousand pieces of armor in his hand, Qi Wanmang sold countless cattle, sheep and horses, and then obtained them from Cao Cao.
Only ordinary sabers could not penetrate the armor of Han soldiers.
On the contrary, the Han soldiers could easily kill the invading barbarians with their swords.
The Xianbei people believed that they were more powerful than the Han people even though they also had iron armor and war horses.
Moreover, Wan Meng even wanted to wrap his war horses in iron armor, but with limited financial resources, he had to equip the cavalry first.
Little did he know that Liu Mang's surprise generals had already completed the formation of heavy cavalry before him.
Even so, the Xianbei cavalry with iron armor could still beat the Qiang people to death.
Even the one who committed violence became the one who was beaten.
After thinking about it, Wan Mang decided to use the trump card in his hand.
"The Han army didn't even detect the ambush in the canyon, so they definitely wouldn't know that our army already has such iron armor!"
And Wan Mang remains confident, he will play every card in his hand well.
And these three thousand cavalry in iron armor will be his greatest support.
…
Han army camp.
Knowing that the Xianbei people had three thousand armored cavalry, Liu Mang held an emergency military meeting.
"Your Majesty, our army is supplemented by boxcars and mainly composed of bows and crossbows."
"However, our troops are all veterans of hundreds of battles. They can hold long spears and fight against the cavalry."
"I am willing to be a pioneer. If I win, I will never return!"
Tai Shiheng clasped his fists and saluted, showing his determination to regard death as home.
When Guan Xing and Zhang Bao saw this, how could they let the boy who was not from the clan take the lead?
"Brother! We are also willing to go!"
Liu Mang waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down.
"Uncle Zhao and Uncle Ziyi are also people whom the father regards as brothers."
"Taishi Heng and the infant Zhao Tong are all clan members just like you!"
"I brought you here to pacify Hexi this time, just to let you grow into a general who can lead the army alone."
"How can brothers compete for credit? If word spread, wouldn't it make people laugh?"
Guan Xing and Zhang Bao bowed their heads in shame. They knew in their hearts that compared with the strength of Cao Cao's clan, their uncle Liu Bei's clan was really sparse.
Liu Mang's move was also to increase the number of people in the clan. Since Taishi Heng was loyal, hard-working and uncomplaining, and had a relationship with Taishi Ci, he should be included in the clan.
"Xiao Heng, I will put five hundred soldiers into your hands."
"In this battle, we can only lose, not win!"
"You, all, swear to lure the enemy into burial in the Hu Valley."
Burial of Hu Valley was the former Valley of Burial of Han. Liu Mang felt it was unlucky and changed the name directly.
In order to make this valley worthy of its name, Liu Mang decided to bury some Xianbei cavalry here.
"Brother, I'm afraid an ordinary crossbow cannot penetrate iron armor easily."
Tai Shi Heng said bluntly: "I hope my brother will think of other countermeasures."
Zhang Bao couldn't help but speak.
"Brother! The cavalry wears iron armor, but our infantry also wear rhinoceros armor. Even if we face the enemy head-on, we can't win!"
"You don't have to let Xiao Heng pretend to be defeated, he won't win at all!"
Ahem!
Taishi Heng coughed twice and signaled Zhang Bao to give him some face.
Guan Ping understood Liu Mang, but the three bastards in front of him were still too young.
When has the prince ever been defeated?
This is the Han's ever-victorious general!
"Xingguo, shut up."
"The prince has his own considerations. We will just do what the prince says."
Guan Ping cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please give me the order!"
Liu Mang first comforted Zhang Bao and Tai Shiheng, and praised them for their courage to speak out and remonstrate.
As for the reasons why he has so many things, if he were to say them out, I'm afraid it wouldn't be effective!
Liu Mang ordered the entire army to abandon their sidecars, and even abandon their bows and arrows, and instead use long spears to fight the enemy.
Even Guan Ping doesn't understand this kind of operation.
"Brother Tanzhi, please tell me, what is the prince's intention in making such an arrangement?"
Zhang Bao smiled and poked at Guan Ping's scar.
"If I could see it, would I still be your eldest brother? I would be the heir apparent!"
Guan Ping rolled his eyes at Zhang Bao angrily. The latter scratched his head in embarrassment. What he said seemed to make sense!
Taishi Hengze led his five hundred men and made preparations to meet the enemy.
In the eyes of outsiders, it was extremely stupid for Tai Shiheng to accept such a "death" mission.
Only Tai Shiheng himself knew that this was Liu Mang's absolute trust in him!
It is not easy to lure enemy troops to Burial Hu Valley.
If the soldiers are informed in advance, there is no guarantee that everyone will be an Oscar winner, and it will be easy for the enemy to spot the clues.
If the quality of the soldiers is too poor, it is very likely that they will be defeated directly. There is only one word difference between pretending to be defeated and actually being defeated.
Taishi Heng needs to control his soldiers and use real "acting skills" to lure the enemy into a trap!
I heard that the Han army took the initiative to retreat, how could Qi Wanmeng let it go easily?
The Xianbei cavalry was as fast as the wind and soon pursued them.
Wan Neng believed that Liu Mang would choose to escape only after his trump card was exposed.
The Xianbei army is so strong that it is impossible to compete with them!
And Wan Mang has even imagined the scene of leading the Xianbei cavalry in the future and riding on the Central Plains!
"Oh? Is that the Han army's rear-cutting unit?"
Wan Neng looked at it from a distance and saw that although the opponent was wearing armor, compared with himself, he looked shabby!
"I have heard that the Han army has a high rate of wearing armor, and even every man has an armor!"
"Now it seems that it is just a rumor!"
"Xianbei warriors, crush the enemy!"
After the three thousand Xianbei cavalry learned that their fellow tribesmen had suffered a loss, they vowed to regain their place.
Now there are only 500 people on the other side. For them, it is simply a piece of cake!
The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, as if the earth was shaking!
Tai Shiheng took his time and took out the two halberds behind his back.
"kill!"
Taishi Heng took the lead. With his two halberds dancing wildly, he killed two Xianbei cavalrymen off their horses.
But this is just the light cavalry that came first, the real armored cavalry has not yet arrived!
Even though Taishi Heng was very brave, how many enemies could he kill by himself?
It's just a drop in the bucket.
Seeing the real master of suffering, the armored cavalry was still 200 steps away from us, Tai Shiheng decisively gave the order!
"Fire the arrow!"
"Rain of arrows!"
Five hundred unparalleled soldiers used improved Zhuge's crossbows to shoot at the cavalry and horses!
This is Liu Mang's advice. Since the cavalry has armor, let's change our thinking.
Shoot the man first and shoot the horse first!
