With Li Guang's order, more than 30,000 Han troops advanced on the winding Great Wall, which was hundreds of miles long, from Liping to Huayan.
For a time, the entire Great Wall was surging, and people were neighing on their horses, as if they had returned to the scene when Yan general Qin Kai led the Yan army to attack Donghu in the north one hundred and fifty years ago.
Flags flew one after another, and war drums rumbled.
"The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man goes to Xi and comes back" sang the war song of Yandi, and a group of heavily armed soldiers marched along the pass and beacon platform of the Great Wall, from various winding paths and mountain roads, towards the straight road.
And on the avenue leading to the straight, the chariots of the grandfathers and fathers were once again revitalized.
Large and small, a total of 500 chariots, drove towards the battlefield.
These chariots are all old equipment that has been hidden in the arsenal of the Yan Kingdom and has not been touched for at least ten years, and even some of the chariots were made during the Lu Juan and even Zang Ba periods.
It's always old, it's old.
But it can be used and moved.
It is possible to carry heavy equipment, and that is enough.
What's more, these chariots can also be used as a means of defense against the Hun cavalry in the field.
In the face of the cavalry raid, the infantry immediately placed the chariot and carriage to the periphery to form a barrier, which is now a compulsory course for the Han family's martial arts officers and strong crossbow students, and has experienced the test of the battle of Gaoque, which is indeed reliable.
And the chariot was followed by one of the few cavalry in Li Guang's hands.
Li Guang's department, although it claims to have 10,000 cavalry.
However, in fact, there are only more than 3,000 cavalrymen with real combat capability, and by no means more than 4,000.
Cavalry is not a horse, but can bend a bow and shoot arrows to be called cavalry.
If you want to become a qualified cavalryman, you can't just practice riding at home for a year or two.
In fact, even in the steppe, a qualified cavalryman is respected.
Usually in a settlement, it is good to have a man who can fight on horseback and shooting.
As for the Han family, usually, it is very good to have one out of ten soldiers who can be trained.
Because cavalry is not just about riding horses.
It's like you can drive, but can you drive a heavy truck The same is true for cavalry, how to adjust the speed of the horse, how to adapt to the high-speed galloping state, how to maintain a queue with his comrades, when to choose when to speed up, and under what circumstances to slow down.
Each of these is the key to testing the cavalry.
Especially in cavalry battles, if the number of troops is uneven, it is likely that the enemy will charge and find your weak point, and you can tear your formation to pieces.
In the Battle of Mayi, the main reason why the Han army was able to defeat the Zhelan cavalry was that the cuirass broke through its ranks and broke up its organization.
In the Battle of Heyin, the cavalry under the command of Zhidu was able to repeatedly defeat or even annihilate the Hun cavalry, relying on complete organization and strict discipline.
The cavalry of the Bashang Army, even with more than half of the losses, still fought stubbornly.
Therefore, the Han army has an iron law, and soldiers cannot be levied if they are not taught.
Soldiers who have not received rigorous training, have organization and discipline, let them go to the battlefield, not only is not responsible for them, but also for the Han army itself.
In fact, strictly speaking, even the current more than 3,000 cavalry, Li Guang is actually not satisfied.
Among them, at least half of them are unqualified in Li Guang's eyes, and they will have to train for at least more than a year.
But there is no way, the war is urgent, and I can't take care of so much.
Moreover, in this battle, the cavalry was only an auxiliary force.
The real main force is still the infantry, or the material officer.
Standing on the slope of a hill in front of the Great Wall, Li Guang looked at a Han army of Mo sword soldiers walking under the mountain, and nodded with great satisfaction: "The Protector Army is really elite, looking at the military appearance, it is not inferior to the Bashang Army and the Thorn Gate Army."
Beside Li Guang, Chen Huan, who had just come from Jicheng and was about to make some military achievements, smiled reservedly and said, "Generally, it is not as good as the Thorn Gate Army, let alone the Bashang Army."
But in his heart, he has already blossomed.
This army is his Northwest Governor's Department.
The whole army of 2,300 people, all armed with the best Mo knives, was transported directly from the workshop of Shaofu to Anton.
There's no way, who called him rich and powerful, or a relative of the emperor As for the armor worn by these soldiers, it also has a great origin.
All of these armors were made in the two leather armor workshops opened by the Shaofu Yamen in Pyongyang.
It is composed of three layers of whale skin, and between each layer, there is also a layer of tendons, and now only Chen Huan can arm this kind of light armor to each of his soldiers in such a trench.
And this kind of leather armor, the natural defense is also amazing.
It has good protection against ordinary bows and crossbows within fifty paces, and even at a distance of thirty paces, the arrows are difficult to protect with traditional whale skin and tendons.
Li Guang looked at Chen Huan, but he was also emotional.

Back then, when he was a guard lieutenant, he could learn the methods of Chen Huan and his brother Chen Xu.
These two were notorious in Chang'an back then, known as the little overlord of Chang'an, and the prodigal son of the world.
It's going to be a big news story every two days and two days. went to Tingwei to drink tea, went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to receive re-education, and was named by the internal history, and the two brothers were accustomed to it.
But I don't want to, see you again in a few years, the bully at the beginning, the gentleman, can now be on an equal footing with him, talk and laugh, and even have some insight.
Chen Huan was too lazy to care about Li Guang's opinion.
Over the years, with his land and trading, it has become bigger and bigger.
Chen Huan's mentality also slowly changed.
If back then, when he first started whaling, he just wanted to let those powerful villains who looked down on people know his power and methods.
But now, the opinions and opinions of others are no longer important in his heart.
He is Chen Huan, and what he wants to do does not need to be explained to others.
In essence, he is still the second ancestor of Chang'an.
However, he just changed his interest from bullying other gentlemen, bullying men and women in the market, and fighting cocks and lackeys, to external expansion and enslaving others.
After all, in Chang'an, how many people can he bully And now, he not only has tens of thousands of Japanese slaves under his hands, but also raises Xianbei and Wuheng, two dogs, and several tribes such as Ding Ling and Buyeo drive him.
It's really Anton.
And unlike in the past, when he had to rely on his mother and grandmother's prestige.
Now, he was waiting for the car to go out on patrol, and the officials and gentry on both sides, who were not respectful, stood on both sides of the road And what these people respect and fear is none other than the thousands of family fortunes and countless thugs in his hands.
But, that's not enough Chen Huan now has even greater ambitions In Anton, being the lieutenant of the northwest and whaling in Yuanhai can only be cool for a while after all.
If you want to be really cool for a lifetime, you still have to mix military merits, go to the Western Regions or poison somewhere in the future, turn the land into a country, and call it a lonely widow, which is the king's way At least 10,000 words in the evening t1706231537:
