Shuai Zhang, this Northern Liang cavalry team that Xu Xiao spent decades building has serious differences for the first time!
At this time, Ye Baikui had already sent Meng Hu, a confidant with senior qualifications and outstanding military exploits, to the concubine's grave. At this moment, the people with the most say among the Northern Liang cavalry were debating on whether to send troops to the concubine's grave.
Zhao Changling: "Since the Emperor of the Zhao family has decreed to retreat without fighting, then retreat to Li Yang for a look. We can retreat to the Concubine's Tomb openly, or even retreat to Zhao Bodang's garrison, and take advantage of the opportunity to eat these 100,000 troops. . After that, let’s talk to Gu Jiantang to resolve the worries, and finally have a decisive battle with Ye Baikui!” Very good, this is very Zhao Changling. Zhao Changling has long felt that the two troops of Zhao Bodang and Gu Jiantang are meaningless. Liyang only needs one Xu Jiajun.
Li Yishan stretched out his hand and touched the concubine's grave: "Since Ye Baikui has sent troops here, it is obvious that he will send two soldiers and horses, one light cavalry to deal with our reinforcements, and one heavy cavalry that marches relatively slowly to serve as a back-up. Big Chu has two pieces of gold. The hundreds of thousands of Euphorbia warriors have been proven to be outdated, but the 60,000 heavy cavalry under Ye Baikui's command is still open to question. Of course, it is expensive to raise heavy cavalry. An ordinary cavalry is equivalent to three The price of four light cavalry. The advantages and disadvantages of this thing are obvious. The disadvantage is that it is heavy armor and heavy horses. It is slow to put on armor and slow to mount. It can be said that except for charging after mounting, everything is slow, and turning is even slower. But on a suitable battlefield, Many light cavalry ridiculed him as a one-shot heavy cavalry, but he is actually a well-deserved king of the battlefield, especially in the concubine's tomb where the field is wide and easy to fight. Changling said he didn't have 50,000, so he would die!"
The power of the heavy cavalry is obvious, and it is placed in an open area like Concubine's Tomb. Nowadays, there are basically no heavy horses in Beiliang. Even if there is iron armor, there is no suitable war horse that can wear a hundred kilograms of iron armor. The reason why the 6,000 Manjia battalion is almost dead is because all the war horses are dead. Zhao Changling was sure of one thing. Even if Chen Zhibao went there in person, without the cooperation of 20,000 light cavalry and 30,000 infantry, he would still die there: "Of course he will die!"
Li Yishan seemed to have made a decision, an extremely bold decision: "As long as we capture Da Chu, then we will attack Western Sichuan and Tang Nanzhao. It's all a matter of smooth sailing. My Xu family army started the battle and rushed forward, and then we attacked Xi Shu in one go." Barrier. If we choose to retreat at this point to avoid its sharp edge, it is hard to say whether we can win the Chu army or whether the general can continue to control the army. We have already killed many people, and more people will die next. . But at this time, there will be 20,000 fewer deaths in the Concubine’s Tomb, and all of our previous deaths will be in vain!"
If Zhao Changling's plan was followed, Xu Xiao would be called treason if it sounds good, and treason if it sounds bad. And if he acts in accordance with the old emperor's imperial decree, Xu Xiao will definitely lose the power to command the army. After much thought, Li Yishan could only come up with one solution:
"Li Yishan begs the general to let one person lead 20,000 light cavalry to die!"
In the commander's tent, in addition to Zhao Changling and Li Yishan, there were also veteran general Hong Ze, general Su Hengqu, Wu Qi, the number one cavalryman in Beiliang, Chu Lushan, Yuan Zuozong and other adopted sons, but there was no sign of Lu Bu. . It seemed that these people deliberately pushed Lu Bu away.
Boring, Lu Bu didn't know if his adoptive father Xu Xiao thought so, but these people just didn't want this death mission to fall on them. He has just returned from a tour of the battlefield and said: "You don't need 20,000, give me 15,000 horses, but I want the strongest horses, the best spears and the last bows and arrows!"
Doesn't Zhao Changling know who is the most suitable person for this task? Of course he does. Of all the people present, Lu Bu was the most capable of fighting against the enemy's 30,000 light cavalry and 20,000 heavy cavalry. Moreover, even if Lu Bu died, he would destroy all the troops deployed by the opponent in Concubine's Tomb. Therefore, Zhao Changling's expression was very complicated, because Lu Bu was his most valued and promising disciple, although Lu Bu never regarded Zhao Changling as his teacher.
Li Yishan only glanced at it, because he knew Lu Bu's strategic value very well. As far as the decisive battle of the Western Barrier is concerned, Lu Bu's role alone is greater than the other five adopted sons combined.
There is no doubt about Yuan Zuozong's strength in cavalry combat. After all, before Lu Bu arrived, he had always been regarded as the number one cavalry warrior in Beiliang. Although Wu Qi has a high status in the Beiliang cavalry, his strength is really not as good as that of Yuan Zuozong now: "Zhibao also needs to train the military skills of all parties. After all, there are so many soldiers with foreign surnames and many surrendered generals, so let me If you are idle, go to the concubine’s grave!”
Chu Lushan smiled, this guy also knew that it was impossible to let Lu Bu go, so the adoptive father could only choose between himself and Yuan Zuozong: "Hey, this kind of battle where everyone dies together, Yuan Baixiong, are you familiar with me? Are you not ashamed to rob me?"
At this moment, Lu Bu's zhenqi instantly turned from green to purple. The blue dragon wrapped around Lu Bu's body reacted spontaneously for the first time. Blue scales emerged, and blood lines flowed in the gaps between the scales. But the most magical thing was the pair of true dragon eyes. Hitomi. A ray of purple energy hit Yuan Zuozong, who was nicknamed White Bear, and a ray of purple energy hit Chu Lushan's fat chest. Although Lu Bu noticed something, he didn't see it clearly, but the green dragon on his body had already caught the trace of the person coming. Except for Lu Bu, no one here noticed anything strange. Because this visitor is neither in the present nor in the past, but seems to come from the future: So, who is he?
This is the first time since Lu Bu's birth that this green dragon has independently revived to this extent. Yuan Zuozong and Chu Lushan were just affected, and they already felt heavy pressure. Xu Xiao didn't know what happened. He only knew that his adopted son had crossed the line: "Zhibao!"
Chen Zhibao then closed his eyes. The moment he closed his eyes, Chen Zhibao vaguely saw a young man that he disliked very much. The next second, the true dragon eye was closed, and then it could no longer be seen.
Just now, the green dragon in Chen Zhibao's body revived. It was not only Yuan Zuozong and Chu Lushan who were under pressure. The two military advisors remained silent. Wu Qi, the brother-in-law from the Wu Family Sword Tomb, couldn't help but touch his sword. The sword attendant Zhao Yutai had already appeared in front of Xu Xiao. behind. The aura of light is so oppressive. There is no doubt that Chen Zhibao, who entered the first-level Vajra at the age of thirteen, has made great progress in martial arts. Fortunately, someone was able to bet on this villain after all.
Li Yishan was extremely calm, as if he had not seen the conflict that had just occurred: "In the battle at the Concubine's Tomb, Ye Baikui has taken the lead, so we have to divide into two groups and die in succession. The former will die slowly, the slower. The better, it is best to use up all the light cavalry of Da Chu, and even make sure to let Da Chu's heavy cavalry charge for a round. Yuan Zuozong, you are best at cavalry battles that preserve your strength..."
Yuan Zuozong nodded, indicating that he understood.
Chu Lushan secretly glanced at Lu Bu and found that his eyes were still closed: "The soldiers and horses behind should be mine, right?"
Li Yishan shook his head and said: "If you want a lose-lose situation, it's okay for you to go. But in that case, Chu will still win in the end, and Ye Baikui can send a steady stream of troops to the Concubine's Tomb, and it will become a war of attrition that is not good for us. Except that It consumes the strength of the general and consumes the patience of Tai'an City. Unfortunately, we cannot afford to lose at any point!"
There was nothing wrong with Li Yishan's arrangement, but Lu Bu just didn't like it. This is just like the Battle of Hulao in the world of the Three Kingdoms of Gods and Demons. Dong Zhuo would rather send Hua Xiong as the vanguard. Lu Bu still didn't open his eyes, because he was afraid that when he saw Li Yishan's face, he would tear it apart: "Give me five thousand cavalry. As long as the heavy cavalry is put into the battlefield, I will eat them all!"
Zhao Changling knew that General Xu Xiao had already acquiesced to this battle: "Why did Ye Baikui suddenly start a decisive battle at this time?"
Xu Xiao smiled heartily and said that this was exactly the fight to the death that he had been dreaming of: "Ye Baikui is a big figure at the heart of the Chu army. What we bunch of idiots are least afraid of is gambling with these big figures!"
Concubine Tomb troop strength comparison:
Da Chu has 20,000 light cavalry and 40,000 heavy cavalry.
Beiliang, Yuan Zuozong's fifteen thousand cavalry, and Lu Bu's five thousand cavalry
In addition, Chu Lushan will also use 10,000 cavalry to intercept all light cavalry who try to increase the number of troops in Concubine Tomb. In this battle, Beiliang Iron Cavalry was prepared to lose 24,000 cavalry. In other words, except for the 10,000 Daxue Dragon Cavalry who still maintain their intact organization, the 100,000 Northern Liang Iron Cavalry have basically been wiped out in Da Chu. Of course, Da Chu will not have it easy either. After this battle, Da Chu will lose all its light cavalry.
