The cavalry is most powerful only when it charges. If the cavalry is not given time to accelerate, no matter how elite the cavalry is, its power will be limited.
Most of the thousands of Hu Qi who besieged Yangkan focused their attention on the powerful enemy in front of them.
The perimeter defenses have been reduced a lot.
When Chen Lan and Zhang Guihou charged over, they hurriedly separated a part of the cavalry and stepped forward to stop them.
Poof!
Swords and spears stabbed, cavalry collided, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
The Hu cavalry who had gathered in a hurry were no match for the Sihong cavalry, especially Zhang Guihou, who was at the forefront and had extraordinary force.
Rampage, invincible!
Hundreds of cavalrymen charged forward, as if sharp blades had cut through the waves, and in the blink of an eye they pierced the queue that was welcoming Hu Qi.
Hu Qi, who came up to him, disappeared quickly as if he had encountered a bubble of sunshine.
"Hahaha, the response person is here!"
Bu Jing was overjoyed and extremely excited. His spirit had been in a tense state since he crossed the Huaihe River, and he did not dare to relax at all times.
Yang Kan is strong, but he can only help stop small-scale horse thieves and bandits.
It won't work if you encounter a large-scale army.
After crossing the river, it was the territory of the former Qin army. Bu Jing had always been worried that the soldiers and horses of the former Qin would covet the grain and supplies they brought with them. The more they didn't want something to happen, the more likely it would happen.
As expected, they were besieged by Fulong's troops.
Seeing that the soldiers and horses of the former Qin Dynasty were about to enter the forest, and the supporting troops and horses dropped from the sky, Jing was so excited that he could not give in.
and.
After reuniting with the supporting team, they were completely safe and no longer had to worry about being in danger.
"It's finally safe...these are the soldiers and horses sent by the clan brother!"
The Bu family members cheered.
Both men and women, old and young, all cast their gaze into the distance and felt extremely relieved after seeing the responding soldiers and horses easily defeating Hu Qi.
"Are these soldiers and horses there?"
When Leader Hu Qi saw this scene, he was angry but also a little shocked.
Within hundreds of miles around the Qin army, in addition to their large cavalry, there are actually forces with large-scale cavalry?
die!
Leader Hu Qi was distracted to see Zhang Guihou and Chen Lan, but Yang Kan suddenly galloped out on horseback, his long steel spear flashing with cold light, like a falling meteor, and the distance of twenty or thirty feet disappeared in an instant.
Changsha flashed.
First, more than a dozen Hu Qi fell off their horses, and the next moment the head of the Hu Qi leader was directly blown to pieces by the Gang Qi that broke through the air.
The leader of the Hu cavalry was killed, and the remaining cavalry collapsed.
The cavalry of thousands of people had the power to attack the military formation of thousands of people, but under the encirclement and suppression by three generals Yang Kan, Zhang Guihou, and Chen Lan and hundreds of cavalry, they were quickly wiped out.
The captured cavalry were all killed by Zhang Guihou, leaving only thousands of horses.
"I'm going to step down. Thank you, General, for saving me!"
After the battle.
Bu Jing hurriedly stepped forward and briefly introduced himself and Yang Kan's origins in front of Chen Lan and Zhang Guihou.
"You're welcome, the lord sent us here to help. If you want to thank me, just thank the lord!"
Chen Lan said.
Bu Jinglian claimed that it was, and after being polite to the two of them for a while, he asked: "May I ask the general, where is my brother now? Should we follow the general to Sihong, or should we go to other places for resettlement?"
After traveling on the road for such a long time, Bu Jing was eager to settle down his clan members first.
As for the future development and future of the tribe, he still needs to discuss it with Bu Zhao.
Chen Lan glanced at him and said: "The infantry division is in the army. He has given instructions. If we catch you, most of the Bu family will go north to Sihong first."
"You can follow us to the army camp, pay homage to the lord first, and then meet up with the infantry division!"
Bu Jing nodded first, and then asked: "Everything depends on the arrangement of the clan brother... However, the clan brother is at the army camp. What is going on? Could it be that General Zhennan has sent troops?"
In the Sihong Army.
According to their origins and qualifications to defect to Wang Jing, they were divided into several groups. Among them, Bu Zhi became the leader of a small group after becoming the head of the Privy Council.
Chen Lan and Bu Zhi were born in the same era. After joining Wang Jing, they naturally had a better relationship with Bu Zhi.
He is somewhat patient with Bu Zhao's people.
"Well, it's not a secret. It's okay to tell you! More than thirty families in Wubao in the south are preparing to defect to the lord. I never thought that Fulong would send troops north to plunder and massacre the three families who had already defected to the lord's village!"
"My lord is furious. He raised an army of 100,000 and marched south, preparing to fight Fulong for a showdown!"
"The forward of the army is now a hundred miles away to the west. Soon, the army led by the Lord will arrive. The infantry division will go out with the army and will also be included in the central army!"
Chen Lan explained.
"So that's it!"
Bu Jing's expression changed. General Zhennan sent 100,000 troops south to attack Fulong? This is a big deal.
He knew Fulong's name before crossing the river.
The former Qin army of 200,000 people faced Yingbu across the river, and more than 100,000 cavalry troops were strong in the north of the Huaihe River. No one dared to provoke him.
He remembered that his clan brother mentioned in a letter that Sihong's military strength was only about 100,000.
One hundred thousand troops faced two hundred thousand troops. Even if Zhennan General Wang Jingjun was slightly superior, it would be difficult to make up for the gap between one hundred thousand troops and horses!
but.
Bu Jing thought of how hundreds of Sihong cavalry had easily defeated thousands of former Qin cavalry, and felt a lot more at ease. If the Sihong soldiers had such strength, General Zhennan would still have a good chance of winning.
And he has great trust in his brother's vision and ability.
If he didn't have the chance of winning in his heart, the clan brother would have advised General Zhennan long ago.
"Brother Yang, there is a big war nearby right now. I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate for my brother to leave alone. Why don't you come with me to the Sihong Army first..."
Bu Jing saw Yang Kan not far away and persuaded him sincerely.
Yang Kan thought for a while and didn't refuse.
After Xiao Yan was defeated and died, he did not want to hang out in the south of the Yangtze River, but with his character, sooner or later he would defect to a certain Ming lord and take charge of the army again to make achievements.
There are many princes and forces in the north, including Fulong of the former Qin Dynasty and King Jing of Sihong, both of whom are among the first-rate forces.
At present, two first-class forces are fighting, and it is rare to see an army of more than 100,000 confront each other.
He also wanted to see it with his own eyes.
Let's see which one of the two can stand out and annex the other to become the strongest north of the Huaihe River.
"Walk!"
Half an hour later, most of the Bu family's men and women were put on cloud carriages and then headed north to Sihong for resettlement.
Bu Jing and Yang Kan, followed by hundreds of cavalrymen, drove the captured horses towards the vanguard of the army.
Meeting Bu's people is only one of their tasks.
Chen Lan and the others also have another mission, which is to inquire about the intelligence of the former Qin army on the way.
Yang Kan sat on the horse and waited until the shadow of Yun Che disappeared before looking back.
"This cloud car is quite interesting!"
As a general who will go down in history, Yang Kan naturally has a good eye. After seeing the cloud car easily carry thousands of people and run at extremely fast speed, his eyes lit up.
I instantly thought of the military role of the cloud car.
If there are a large number of cloud vehicles transporting food and grass, even a hundred thousand troops will not have to worry about lack of food and grass.
Think of this.
Yang Kan's evaluation of Wang Jing improved again.
With Yun Che and the strength shown by Chen Lan and Zhang Guihou just now, Yang Kan felt that Wang Jing should have a 60-70% chance of winning this battle.
As for what Chen Lan just said, the lord was so angry that he led his army south.
Yang Kan regarded them as nonsense in the city and went south in anger. How could he mobilize a hundred thousand troops so quickly and prepare the food and fodder for the army?
Wang Jing must have been well prepared when he went south. This was a long-planned attack...
