"The cost of one cavalry of the Han army is about twenty foot soldiers and six cavalry soldiers of our Jin army.
"Yes, the cost of the light cavalry is five of our foot soldiers and two of our horsemen."
It's just a hell of a force that has only been on the rise for four years, where does it have the manpower, material resources and productivity to raise such an army However, Liu Yan really took less than four years to come up with these, which are difficult to describe in other words except for being incredible.
"Liu Gong and Liu Yan have Guan Zhong and Xiao He Zhicai" Huan Wenti two, one is economic power, and the other is internal power.
He had been stunned for a few days, and still felt shocked: "What Wen admires the most is that Liu Gong really dares to borrow troops from Wen. ” Look, Liu Yan was just a move, willing to borrow Huan Wen's 3,000 cavalry, and Huan Wen began to refer to Liu Yan as "Gong".
And calling "male" is not based on age, but on the degree of respect.
Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao set out from the main camp of the Han army with 3,000 cavalry four days ago, and they bypassed Chengxian and Lanling, and broke through to the edge of Boyang to rest.
During this period, they also tentatively attacked Boyang, but they did not expect to easily charge into the city, eliminate and capture more than 1,000 Shijie Zhao troops, and swept away the materials that could be used, and now they have arrived within a hundred miles of Pengcheng.
Boyang's captives naturally didn't bring it, Huan Wen was not a kind person, and the back was to let the captives dig a pit and bury themselves.
Li Kuang, as the captain of this 3,000 cavalry, did not have any opinion on Huan Wen's actions, and the order Li Kuang received was to obey Huan Wen's military orders on a reasonable basis, and the other was to monitor Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao, so that they could not escape.
It is difficult for the cavalry to camp outside, so they basically find a place to serve the war horses, and the people eat and drink more.
If you want to sleep, it's easy, and the pack immediately has a straw mat, spreads it on the ground, and then takes out a blanket to cover it.
Straw mats and blankets can be rolled into a drum shape that doesn't take up much space, and they don't weigh much, but for a soldier going out into the field, these two things are absolutely beautiful things, and they are absolutely important in the state of mind.
Anyone who has had an overnight stay in the wilderness will surely understand "I didn't expect there to be so much attention to leading the cavalry."
Yuan Qiao's face was full of emotion: "Don't hide it from Yuanzi, Qiao thought that the cavalry was galloping all the way, the speed was very fast, and it was better than the infantry for long-distance trekking, but I didn't expect it" "War horses are delicate, cherish them in order to exert their due combat power."
Huan Wen actually didn't know it before, he said: "You can travel 200 miles a day by changing horses in turn, but if you have the conditions, you must groom the war horses, and you must feed a small amount of beans and a lot of cereals for a long gallop." ” Yuan Qiao said mysteriously: "There is meat foam in the material of those horse horses that are riding war horses. ” Huan Wen understands this, he said: "I heard that all the war horses equipped with armor need to be mixed with meat foam, and Kencao alone can't raise high-quality war horses. ” "Joe's reading of the Book of Horses only mentions that war horses need to develop the habit of running, and it is very important to run a fixed distance every day."
Yuan Qiao smiled bitterly: "But Ma Jing didn't say anything, the running of war horses will consume a lot of physical strength, and if it doesn't have enough impact, it will not only lose fat, but also become skinny." ” Raising war horses originally requires the right way, not only to feed the horses, but also to plan the steps on the horse running and taming, and then to take care of the war horse, brushing, feeding, wandering, and so on.
Knowing the steps does not mean that you can raise an excellent war horse, or you also know the steps of cooking, how can there be a difference between making "pig food" and food "There are horse farms south of the Yangtze River, and the Chu, Wu, and Yue during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period fully illustrate this point, especially the Chu State is a country of ten thousand times."
Yuan Qiao was talking about the efforts of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to build a horse farm south of the Yangtze River, and he continued: "Why can war horses be cultivated before, but now that they are cultivated, seventy of the hundred horses will be raised, and only about five of the remaining thirty horses can become war horses."
There are not many records that can be found about the previous dynasties breeding war horses south of the Yangtze River, which is still caused by the book burning incident of the First Emperor, after all, the First Emperor burned all the historical books, geographical chronicles, biographies and the like of various countries, which can be found, resulting in some historical materials are not easy to find.
The Eastern Jin Dynasty cultivated war horses south of the Yangtze River, most of them were looking for rare plains, but it was obvious that the effect was not very good, and it could even be said to be extremely miserable.
"There is no shortage of war horses in the hands of Liu Gong and Liu Yan, and the imperial court may be able to" "No, Duke Liu is very hostile to the imperial court and will not agree."
"Those people are really dizzy, and if they want bad things, they should wait for the time when both sides will lose."
"Don't blame them, who made Liu Gong raise the Han flag."
Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao chatted for a long time before they both fell asleep, and the two of them had to admit that sleeping in the open with a straw mat and a blanket was really a beautiful thing.
The next day, before dawn, the neighing of horses resounded in the camp.
They made a temporary stop by a stream so that people and horses could have access to water.
When Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao woke up, the side of the stream was already full of people and horses, and the noise and neighing of horses sounded extremely noisy.
The morning sun in the early morning has already exposed half of it, last night because there was not enough light to see the surrounding environment clearly, Huan Wen half sat on the straw mat and looked around, saw Li Kuang sitting cross-legged directly opposite, and saw that there was dew on the weeds that had not been cleaned up around him, and the hands supporting the straw mat also felt wet, and even the blanket also felt wet.
No way, camping in the wild is like this, even in summer, don't expect how dry it can be, or the old people will not always be advised not to sleep in the open, lest they have rheumatism or something when they are old.
"Thirty miles away, an enemy army appeared, an infantry army of about 2,000, escorting nearly a hundred wagons that looked like grain wagons."
Li Kuang is eating fried noodles, which may be the reason why the noodles remain dry, and there will inevitably be a chewing sound in his mouth when he eats it.
He picked up the water bag and poured a few sips before continuing: "The baggage team was drawn from the direction of Wuyuan, and the scouts extended their reconnaissance around the baggage team, and found two enemy forces around it, one in the direction of Pengcheng and the other in the direction of Tanxian.
In the direction of Pengcheng, there are all foot riders, and the number is about 7,000.
In the direction of Wuyuan was the infantry army, which numbered about five thousand. ” Huan Wen subconsciously glanced at Yuan Qiao, they had seen more than once that the Han army scouts attached great importance to intelligence exploration, the kind of attention to detail and extension, which was completely different from many of its armies.
Intelligence is very important in military affairs, and whoever has more detailed information is able to seize the initiative, even to avoid breaking into a trap or being ambushed.
Now Huan Wen is faced with a choice, they are going to enter Pengcheng, exert political pressure on Wang Luan, force the Xuzhou army to divide troops to deal with their cavalry, create a decisive battle opportunity for Liu Yan in the main battlefield, and reduce the pressure on Xie An, who crossed the river to fight.
"I can know who the nearby Shijie chief is" "It's called a cow."
Changing Wen and Yuan Qiao immediately frowned, he had no clue who Niu Qi was.
The generals of the Chinese civilization are like this, if they want to understand what the enemy commander will do, they will start from the family background of the enemy commander, and then understand the past experience and personality of the enemy commander.
To put it simply, the more you know about the enemy's commander, the better you can guess what you will do and what you will do.
Yuan Qiao said strangely: "It shouldn't be a nobody. ” Li Kuang should have said that the business that should be done was done, and continued to eat his breakfast.
Huan Wen and Yuan Qiao communicated for a while, and the two looked at Li Kuang, who was still eating, and Yuan Qiao asked, "What does Captain Li think?"
Li Kuang stopped eating and arched his hand: "The order that the last general will get is to obey the order." ” Yuan Qiao smiled bitterly.
Huan Wen said: "This is how the Han army fights" "That's true."

Li Kuang said with a serious face: "If Changshi and his colleagues have ideas, they can speak freely, and the Lord will make decisions in the future."
Once an idea needs to be elaborated before the war, whatever idea is not elaborated, it is an order.
The last general doesn't have any ideas now, so he naturally obeys orders. ” At that moment, Yuan Qiao was actually very unhappy, but Li Kuang didn't want to say anything, what could they do.
The problem is that the rules of the Han army are really like that, when it is time to say it or not, if you don't say it, shut up and act according to the plan.
Li Kuang really has no idea.
"They" Huan Wen pointed to the soldiers who were making relevant preparations and asked, "How long can the continuous combat last?"
Li Kuang replied: "The maximum period of high-intensity combat is seven days. ” Huan Wen nodded, already having an idea in his heart.
There is nothing to say next, it is nothing more than according to the existing strategic goals, and the details are to see how to do it.
If you want to make Wang Luan messy, it is not just as simple as entering Pengcheng, you also need to make Wang Luan pay enough attention.
Who is Niu Mu is just a difficult point in the details, what Huan Wen needs to figure out is what trap Niu Mu has set.
The main force of the Xuzhou army was confronting Liu Yan, where did the troops mobilized by Niu Qi come from, and Huan Wen's judgment was that most of the private soldiers were temporarily made up in the local area, and only the infantry and cavalry troops in the direction of Pengcheng could be regarded as the main force, and the elite provided by Shi Zun Huan Wen repeatedly confirmed from Li Kuang that to what extent the three thousand cavalry could go, he needed to play a big one, not only to serve the battle situation, but also to make a strong name for himself.
"Now that Wen has stepped on the stage, he should shine" Huan Wen has already figured out that Liu Yan really won't let him return to the south, so maybe it will be a good result for him to live on the side of the Han army for the time being, especially if there is an army that can lead it.
"Let's take those troops first":
