In fact, Chen Gong still had a sentence in his heart that he didn't say, the batch of armor that he had created together with the composite armor before was afraid that it was not for dealing with tigers and leopards.
Moreover, although there are now three cavalry units in the Jiangdong Army, Zhao Yun's command has always been dominated by light cavalry, and it is also because the white horse Yicong he commanded in his early years is also a light cavalry, although the movement speed is fast, it is easy to be targeted, after all, Zhao Yun does not have many light cavalry.
On the other hand, since the Battle of Huaibei, the tiger and leopard cavalry were severely injured and almost all the troops were wiped out, and they have been staying in Danyang County for secret training.
Most of the sergeants who made up for it were elites from various battalions, and besides, Liu Qi didn't want the sergeants from Jiangdong, so it also caused dissatisfaction among many Jiangdong veterans who were good at riding at that time.
The old pawn is good at riding, but many sons and daughters in the north have grown up on horseback since childhood, and the Jiangdong army has fought over the years, and has captured too many soldiers from the north, among which the sergeants from Fangling have a lot of good riding people, and everyone can be independent.
Late that night, Chen Gong took the carriage back north to Xuzhou, accompanied by Dong Xi's 10,000 tiger camp.
Zhang Zhao talked with Liu Qi in the mansion for a long time that night, and before leaving the mansion, he and Liu Qi made an appointment that would not be promulgated to the public.
Although the soldiers and civilians of Tuntian will still be conscripted every year, they will not continue to increase the number of sergeants in the battalions in Jiangdong, and the expansion restriction order adds that if there are sergeants in each battalion who are killed, they can be selected from the elite of Tuntian for more than three years to enlist in the army for training.
In late March, Yuan Tan sent 50,000 troops, from the Kaiyang camp, along the way the sheng flag covers the sky and the sun, the army is several people in a column, lined up into a long line, more than ten miles long.
For a time, grain and grass equipment from all over Jiangdong were transported to Xuzhou, and there were also large groups of soldiers moving closer to Xuzhou.
At the same time, Zhang Liao led the army to Lanling, Gao Shun led the army to Pengcheng to sit in the town, Chen Gong moved to Tanxian to sit in the town to dispatch and command, and Zang Ba led the army to the front line of Licheng.
In April, Zang Ba fought seven battles with Yuan Tan without a single defeat.
In early April, Dong Xi led his army to Xuzhou.
At the same time, Yuan Tan, who had not advanced ten miles in the past month, took the initiative to repair a letter and asked Cao Cao, who was far away in Chenliu, for help.
Cao Cao no longer delayed, he was afraid that Yuan Tan would suddenly withdraw his army, so he directly waved his army south, with Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry as the vanguard, and the two generals Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan each led 5,000 people to the left and right, and personally led the Chinese army to attack the Chen State.
After entering the Chen State, as the sentry cavalry reported, this place had already been empty, and all the people had been moved south by the Jiangdong army.
"Almost overnight, a county, a town of the people will disappear without a trace, there is a sentry cavalry report, it is the Jiangdong Army and the invention of a kind of ordnance, the fate of the snow car, can be pulled by war horses, ploughing oxen, donkeys, walking on the snow like flying, usually the people's home, bedding, household equipment are carried with the south."
Cheng Yu walked beside Cao Cao, he was going to the front line of Peiguo soon, but this time he said goodbye to Cao Cao.
"Those hundreds of thousands of people, how did he Liu Qi settle down" Cao Cao's speed of movement is very slow, he is young and strong compared to Liu Qi and Sun Quan, he is old and weak, even if he is not old on weekdays, he is also a little anxious at the moment, if a village and a town are empty, he is fine, but on the way south for a few days, dozens of cities, there has never been a city with people in a radius of hundreds of miles, what a scene this is The wall is clear, and the tactic he Cao Mengde used to play is a bird "Since it was given to Huainan Xintian, which was cultivated last year, and the Tuntian sergeant built a house for it."
"Jiangdong, why is there so much military ration to feed hundreds of thousands of people, they go south, in order to avoid our army's iron cavalry, they must travel lightly."
"I heard that before the war, our army's sentry cavalry found a large number of ruts on the snow road where the Jiangdong Army covered the southward movement of soldiers and civilians."
"Wooden Ox Flowing Horse" "Not bad."
"How many are estimated" "Returning to the lord, it should not be under 10,000 frames."
"The land of the five states, even if Shuzhou and Jiaozhou are not completely surrendered, the people supported by Liu Qi are enough to deter the princes of the world, sitting on half of the country, benefiting the danger of the state, there is the barrier of Jingzhou, there is the danger of the Huai River, and the grain of Xuzhou and Jingzhou, as well as the invincible sailor in the world, Liu Qi, the king of Wu, this person has not been eliminated as soon as possible, and he has really become my Cao Cao's henchman."
"If it weren't for the deathbed admonition of Feng Xiao, I really don't want to give up this God-given opportunity to regain lost land in the south."
"Lord, most of the soldiers in Xuzhou are guarding against Yuan Tan, and now that Dong Xi has led 5,000 elite soldiers from the Tiger Battalion to the battlefield in Xuzhou, Yuan Tan is afraid that he will be defeated."
"Defeated" Cao Cao shook his head slightly, "Although Yuan Tan does not have the ability of Yuan Shang's grace, nor does he have the wisdom of strategy, but he has a bit of ruthlessness in the past of Yuan Benchu, he fights in battle, his bravery is not inferior to Liu Qi, and he has the determination of a strong man to break his wrist. ” "If it really comes to such a scene, my lord, our army should have an opportunity."
"Cheng Yu, I ordered you to go to Xuzhou to win, not to wait for Yuan Tan's mediocre people to create a winning opportunity for you, if you have hopes for him, there will be a big disaster."
Cheng Yu bowed down: "Please rest assured, Cheng Yu will not lose a lot because of Yuan Tan." ” Cao Cao looked ahead, "I am naturally relieved of you, but if the tiger and leopard cavalry is the vanguard in this article, you think that my reorganized 3,000 tiger and leopard cavalry can tear apart the defense line of the Jiangdong Army."
"If there are two Xiahou generals left and right to protect his wings, he can do it."
"I hope to go hand in hand, to bully the Jiangdong army with the right momentum, Huaibei battlefield, they need to deal with our army and Liu Beijun, Liu Bei has agreed with our army, to attack Huaibei, he took the whole county of Runan, I recovered Chen State, Pei Guo and other places, when I set off, the sentry cavalry reported, Liu Bei has also sent troops."
"I don't know if the lord has a secret report from Jingzhou" "I haven't got it for the time being, Jingzhou is far away from my Yuzhou, if you want to get the battle report, I'm afraid it will take more than ten days."
"Not necessarily, if it is urgent, there will be a secret report within seven days, but the lord must plan early, then Lu Meng is not incompetent, not to mention that there is a far-sighted man under his command."
"I know."
"My lord, after I go, you will immediately order the tiger and leopard to ride south."
Cao Cao bowed slightly, and saw Cheng Yu kneeling on the ground towards him, getting up, and walking into the carriage not far away without looking back, as the wheels of the carriage turned, he took a sergeant and slowly disappeared from Cao Cao's sight.
Cao Cao turned around sharply, "Where did the tiger and leopard ride?"
"North of Gongxian County."
"Ordered Cao Chun, every time Lin Mo entered, the sentinel cavalry was sent fifteen miles away, the front army raided, every city was not sleepy, and it was chiseled through Peiguo."
"Whoa
