Among the five lines of cavalry of the Julu Army, the middle one and the front one are Guan Yu's troops.

The cavalry was fast and rushed forward. Along the road, there were more and more intersections. Every intersection had to be explored by scouts. After only a few miles, the number of troops became smaller and smaller, so Guan Yu had to slow down and wait.

There was a village not far ahead, and Guan Yu took his men to investigate in person. Seeing that the villagers were lax in their defense, Guan Yu kindly reminded the people that there were raiders by barbarians ahead, and asked the people to be careful. The people in the village ignored the suspicion and ignored it. This made Guan Yu angry and helpless.

Half a day later, after advancing for more than 40 miles, they suddenly encountered the enemy in front, and Guan Yu led his troops to kill them.

At that time, Hu Qi had just surrounded the village and was collecting firewood to set it on fire. Suddenly he heard the sound of thunderous hoofbeats. Hu Qi was frightened and hurriedly mounted his horse to fight.

A team of dragon-like and tiger-like cavalry rushed forward. In the billowing smoke, two flag guns were seen. The left flag was [Han] and the right flag was [Liu]. The first was a sturdy knight, carrying a sharp sword.

, the body is covered in dark heavy armor as tightly as an iron barrel, and its power is unstoppable.

A leader of the Hu people hurriedly raised his gun to meet him. The two horses crossed each other. The Hu man shouted and stabbed him with his gun. Guan Yu raised his knife and swung it away.

The swords and guns collided, and the barbarian's spear was cut off with a kacha. The force of the sword was not reduced, and the horse charged with it and struck the barbarian with a bang. When the two horses were staggered, the barbarian's blood and internal organs were scattered on the ground.

.

With such power, he cut a person into two pieces in one fell swoop.

Those Hu Qi who were hesitating behind, not knowing whether to flee or fight, saw their leader killed by Guan Yu's sword. Their morale was greatly reduced. If they did not dare to resist, they turned around and fled.

At this time, the shouts of killing by the official cavalry were heard again from the east and west of the village. The shouts of killing were also heard from the back of the village. Several teams encircled the Hu cavalry.

In a short time, Hu Qi was surrounded and killed.

Guan Yu had sent people to surround him from all directions, but in the end, three Erhu cavalry still managed to escape.

His men wanted to chase him, but Guan Yu called him to stop.

"There is no need to chase them. The three or two fish that slipped through the net were deliberately released by someone. Follow closely and see where they flee. His large group of men and horses will also be there, and they can chase them tail to tail."

The battlefield was briefly cleaned and the corpses were inspected. The people who turned into corpses were dressed in dirty and ugly clothes. They were very different from the Han people. They were indeed riding wildly.

In the first battle, he gained seven or eight horses, but lost a few long and short weapons and bows and arrows. Guan Yu didn't think highly of such a small number of weapons and horses, but it would be a pity to lose them just like this.

Guan Yu had no choice but to leave two people behind to send the weapons and horses back to the group, and he led the group to continue fighting.

Let’s talk about the two Hu Qi who were let go.

When Hu Qi encountered the elite cavalry of the army, he was so frightened that he went straight back to ask for help.

Within a few miles, there was a place where looted grain, grass and money were stored. The surviving Hu Qi rushed back to this place and exclaimed a warning in Chinese with a strange tone, "The army is coming from behind! The army is coming from behind.

The killers are coming from behind!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of thundering hooves coming from behind. Hu Qi hurriedly prepared for battle. Before they could form a formation, Guan Yu led the cavalry in a cone formation and charged towards them. The men and horses were shocked, and Guan Yu charged into the enemy group.

The green dragon sword flew up and down, killing countless enemy knights.

In an instant, Hu Qi was defeated and fled in all directions.

Guan Yu captured the largest group of Hu cavalry and chased them. He chased them for more than two miles and killed half of them. In the end, his own cavalry came galloping all the way and their horsepower was exhausted. However, they could not compare with Hu's cavalry.

ride.

In the first battle, more than a hundred Hu cavalrymen were wiped out, countless of them were routed, countless grain and livestock were obtained, and more than fifty war horses were obtained. It was a small victory.

After Guan Yu took the lead to engage the enemy, other groups also approached the enemy one after another.

Along the way, Zhang Fei led his cavalry to charge and kill several enemy cavalry. During the battle, Zhang Fei stabbed and killed no less than twenty of the enemy's cavalry. With Zhang Fei, an unstoppable spearhead with armor and a hard spear, the giant deer cavalry, who were inferior in strength, fought hard.

The other party was completely defeated.

Along the way, Liao Hua ambushed a small group of enemy troops. He missed his bow and shot all the enemy cavalry dead.

Along the way to Chizhi'er, Xiliang's elite cavalry are the main force. Chizhi'er and other Xiliang cavalry are all superb in riding and shooting skills. They can fight with ease against the Xiliang soldiers on horseback.

They used their archery skills to roam around and shoot at the enemy. Although they fought protractedly, they clung to the enemy. The enemy could not run away. The enemy retreated and was chased by the Xiliang soldiers and shot all the way. A group of forty riders could not

The Hu cavalry who arrived were chased by Chi Zhi'er for more than five miles, and finally the last cavalry was shot off the horse. Chi Zhi'er was the only one who wiped out all the enemy cavalry along the way.

The fifth route is Wang Lu and Lu Zhong. Although these two are not outstanding, Wang Lu is the former Yellow Turban Xiaoqu Commander. Not to mention his command, Yongwu can be regarded as one of the best in a thousand. Lu Zhong is Lu Zhi’s nephew.

, were once generals of the army, with proven bravery and command. In addition, the cavalry led by the two men were well-armed. Although the 300 cavalry led by the two men were small in number, their combat power was definitely not weak.

The road along King Lu Zhong's road is the easternmost road and has not yet encountered any enemies.

As the enemy was repeatedly encountered at the front, battle reports were slowly transmitted back.

From the battle report, it can be seen that Hu Qizhen was looting everywhere, and there were enemies everywhere.

The good thing about this is that the enemy troops are scattered and can be defeated one by one. The bad thing is that the horsemen are scattered in a mess, making it difficult to clear them up.

Li Mengxi even came up with the idea that it would be great if all the enemy troops gathered together.

The battlefield situation is developing towards what Li Mengxi wants.

At the beginning, the five lines of cavalry of the Julu Army caught the enemy off guard and won successively. The ideal situation is to fight a battle of annihilation in every battle, and continue fighting before the enemy can react. However, the actual situation is that it is inevitable that there will be enemy cavalry.

The cavalry of the Julu Army has limited horse power and cannot continue to fight. After three or five battles, the horse power is insufficient and cannot catch up with the defeated troops. At this time, they still have to prepare for the enemy's counterattack and rest their horse power.

Being able to temporarily terminate the operation will certainly give the enemy time to shrink its forces.

The situation on the battlefield is secondary. Focusing on the larger battlefield, Liu Yu's intelligence said that the chaos started in Yuyang County, but now Bohai County, which is so far away from Yuyang County, has encountered rebels. Between Yuyang and Bohai

, is also separated by Zhangwu County, and the war has spread to three counties south of Yuyang.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If combined with the entire map, Yuyang is surrounded by three counties: Peking to the east, Zhangwu to the south, Guangyang to the west, and further afield, there is Shanggu County.

Zhuo County, Hejian County, Bohai County, Liaoxi County, Zhongshan County and other large areas.

Based on the enemy situation in Bohai County, it is possible that the rebel army's front has spread to the area of ​​​​Bajiu County.

What's even more troublesome is that the rebel army has tens of thousands of cavalry, and the cavalry moves like the wind and cannot stop them.

With the strength of the Julu Army, it may not be difficult to defeat the enemy, but the Julu Army only has one route and cannot care about anything else but the direction of Bohai County.

We can only place our hope on the local imperial officials and troops.

But when I thought about it again, I looked at Bohai County. No one was seen where the imperial officers and soldiers were dead. The local armaments were depleted. If the imperial soldiers and horses were useful, the rebel Zhang Ju's troops would not reach Bohai County.

The local army is useless, and many people in various counties are already in the flames of war. I can only wish them good luck.

——

Soon, it was getting dark, and we couldn't find a good camping spot along the way, so we were forced to camp on the road.

The best strategy for camping on the road is to find a crossroads and spread out the camp in all four directions with the crossroad as the center. This way, it can block all four directions and shrink the camp as much as possible.

The sidecars played an important role in building the camp. The sidecars surrounded the camp and directly formed a solid fortification.

After the camp is surrounded, go around the camp and set up torches and stands at intervals of twenty or thirty steps.

The lighting function of the fire is secondary, and the function of stabilizing people's hearts is more important. If there is a slight movement in the dark, the soldiers will inevitably be afraid. If they are afraid, they will blow up the camp. But as long as there is a little light, they will not be so afraid when they see the light. This is also

That's why fire flags are necessary for night camping.

The camp was set up, and the guards were assigned. After everything was in order, the cooking started.

The water source discovered by the scouts was a mile away, and the water-fetching soldiers moved together. They pulled a cart with a large bucket on the cart, went to fetch water a mile away, and then came back together.

Now every detail in the military comes from daily accumulation.

Just like this water-fetching process, if we follow the normal method of fetching water and let the cooks fetch water by themselves, then one cook will be required to fetch water for every ten thousand people. The whole army has 7,000 people. Excluding the water for cattle, horses and livestock, only the water for people to drink.

Water would require 700 people.

The efficiency of using vehicles to collect water uniformly is several times that of a single person. In other words, this alone saves hundreds of manpower.

After taking the water, you need to test the water.

Military doctors use acupuncture to test the water, or they take the water and taste it themselves. This is the first step.

The second step is to take a bag of activated carbon, throw it into the water, soak it for a while, and then take out the activated carbon. This step not only absorbs toxicity, but also purifies the water.

In the third step, [Animal Warfare] came in handy. The army carried some roosters for detecting miasma. Feed the roosters some of the water. The roosters have weak resistance to poison and are therefore very sensitive to poison. A quarter of an hour

Afterwards, the rooster did not die, indicating that the water quality was non-toxic, and then the water was divided for cooking.

The military's logistics force is much stronger than before, and now we can have hot meals.

Set up a large iron pot in the camp, heat it up, put oil in it, then add salt, then throw in the horse meat that you got during the day and stir-fry it with a clean shovel.

Horsemeat may not taste very delicious, but when fried in an iron pot, the aroma fills the air.

The source of horse meat is this. Our own cavalry went forward to clean up the enemy. It was inevitable that the horses would be killed or injured in the battle. Some of the dead horses were brought back, and then they were put up on wooden poles and hung on iron hooks by the butcher battalion accompanying the army.

After putting the horse on the horse, he started working with a butcher's knife, axe, and other tools, and he separated the skin, flesh, blood, and bones of the horse cleanly.

The weather is warm and meat is not easy to preserve. In addition, the war is imminent. It is better for the soldiers to eat more and save more strength. Therefore, they can eat as much meat as they can without limiting it for the time being.

When Li Mengxi was instructing the cooks to cook, Liu Bei came.

"Xi'er," Liu Bei said, "you go to the women's camp to have a look. I can't go there."

"Oh!" Li Mengxi agreed.

Li Mengxi went to the female soldiers' camp. There was a separate camp for the female soldiers. The female soldiers' camp was surrounded by a sidecar. At this time, the female soldiers' camp was much quieter than the male soldiers' camp.

Li Mengxi walked to the female soldiers' camp and saw the female soldiers cooking and laughing around the campfire.

Seeing Li Mengxi coming, the female soldiers quickly stood up to greet him.
