Dajin royal family

Chapter 390 Captive
Jiang Chengxiao, who was well aware of the importance of the Luoyang Battle, was on the road almost day and night, and finally caught up with Yu Wenhua and the second war initiated on his own initiative, and at the same time let Yu Wenhua and taste the power of the cloud heavy cavalry.

"Qingque, Yu Wenshu has an army of 30, and we only have [-] at present. How can we defeat the enemy?" Yu Chijiong asked.

Jiang Chengxiao looked at the battlefield in front of him and said softly: "Although Yuwenshu has many troops, there are also many places for him to defend. Jingzhao County in Guanzhong and Dongping County in the east have already divided up 30 troops, let alone a few in the south. In the county, Yu Wenshu still needs to guard against the rebels in the south, although he has [-] troops in his hand, but the available army should be around [-]."

"Unless Yu Wenshu wants to fight me to the death, and doesn't care about the prying eyes of other forces, the initiative is in my hands."

"You're gambling." Yu Chijiong frowned slightly, how could he put his strategy on the opponent's attitude when marching and fighting.

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, "Mr. Yuchi is right, I am indeed betting, but so far, my bet is correct."

He would not tell Yu Chijiong that he knew that Li Fazhu had led [-] elite soldiers into Dongping County.

Will Jiang Chengxiao gamble?

The answer is no, he will not gamble.

Soldiers, the great affairs of the country, the place of life and death, must be investigated.

As he said, Yu Wenshu left [-] soldiers in Jingzhao County, Guanzhong. Li Fazhu raided the Central Plains, and he asked Chao Shi to lead an army of [-] to stop them. There are hundreds of thousands of people.

Therefore, the army that Luoyang can use now is only about [-].

The Black Eagle Army fought several beautiful annihilation battles, and with this head-on blow, Yu Wenshu could at most use [-] troops to fight him.

If Yu Wenshu mobilizes the troops from the south to come back, will the rebels in Runan, Nanyang and other places miss this good opportunity to invade the Central Plains?

Furthermore, if Yu Wenshu really worked so hard, Jiang Chengxiao would immediately return to Hanoi County and burn down the pontoon bridge.

But in this way, the Central Plains will suffer.

According to his information, Yu Wenshu doesn't have many territories under his control now.

With Henan County as the center, Hongnong County and Jingzhao County are to the west, and Yingchuan County, Xiangcheng County, and Fuyang County are to the east.

At present, these six counties are places that Yu Wenshu can absolutely control. The other counties that have not been occupied by violent bandits or rebel forces have drawn a clear line with the Luoyang court and are basically in the stage of autonomy.

For example, Xingyang, Dongjun and so on.

This is why Yu Wenshu must prevent Jiang Chengxiao and Li Fazhu's forces from entering the Central Plains relationship.

Because his territory is already small enough, plus others, how can this be played?
It was precisely because Jiang Chengxiao was certain of Yu Wenshu's thoughts that he sent troops to Luoyang without fear.

Furthermore, his real purpose is only known to him.

"Maybe it's the world of young people now."

After hearing Jiang Chengxiao's words, Yu Chijiong suddenly came up with this sentence in his mind.

Ahead, the transformed two wings of the Black Eagle Army have completed the encirclement of Yuhuahua and the remnant army.

Behind them was the wolf-like Tiger-wielding Cavalry Army, and on both wings were the brave and skilled Black Eagle Army. Yu Wenhuaji's soldiers almost fell into despair.

Especially the soldiers who witnessed Pei Yuanyan chopping off Ma Hu's head with a horse spear, they were even more frightened when they saw the banner of the Black Eagle Army.

This is the cruelty of war. Sometimes a large number of people does not mean that you will definitely win.

It was a wrong choice for Yu Wenhua to dare to form a formation in the plains to compete with the elite cavalry of the Black Eagle Army.

He even didn't expect that Jiang Chengxiao had already led ten thousand cloud-wielding heavy cavalry to the battlefield. Due to the lack of information and simple-mindedness, Yu Wenhua was not wronged for his defeat.

Seeing the banners of the Black Eagle Army all around, and the indestructible heavy cavalry behind him, Yu Wenhuaji trembled in his heart.

What should he do?
But Pei Yuanyan didn't give him time to react, and called the Black Eagle Army to charge.

The black eagle banner was cloud-rolling and cloud-releasing, the horses roared like tigers, and flesh and blood flew between swords and guns.

The horses kicked and stomped, and countless Luoyang soldiers were trampled to death.

The swinging cloud rider held all long-handled broadswords in his hands, and every time he swung them, he could chop horses and smash corpses.

Two hours later, Pei Yuanyan captured Yu Wenhuaji alive and wiped out more than 3 Luoyang troops.

After the war ended, Jiang Chengxiao immediately ordered the Qingying Army who followed him to set up camp to guard the surrounding area, and at the same time let the Heavy Cavalry Army get off their horses and rest immediately.

Although the heavy cavalry army is invincible, physical strength has always been a difficult problem that cannot be circumvented and cannot be solved.

In other words, the heavy cavalry army is not suitable for long-term combat, because not only people can't stand it, but horses can't stand it either.

Therefore, as soon as the war was over, Jiang Chengxiao immediately asked the soldiers to take off their armor and horse armor and let them rest in place.

"The Liaodong war horse is still not good." Jiang Chengxiao looked at the twitching war horse lying on the ground in front of him, and sighed in his heart.

Although the Liaodong Warhorse has strong durability and cold resistance, its ability to bear pressure is actually not strong.

Moreover, the horse armor is too heavy.

Horse armor includes the "face curtain armor" to protect the face of the horse, the "chicken neck armor" to protect the neck, the "cuirass" to protect the chest of the horse, the "horse body armor" to protect the torso, and the "hind armor" to protect the horse's buttocks. ', and the 'parasitic armor' standing on the ponytail.

Except for the exposed mouth, nose, ears, eyes, limbs, and tail of the war horse, the rest of the horse is all heavily armored.

These add up to more than 40 catties, plus the heavy armored warriors on horseback, they all add up to more than 150 catties.

Therefore, the cost of maintaining, repairing, and cultivating an armored heavy cavalry can cost more than [-]% of the income of the 'Hearts'.

Fortunately, he now occupies Taiyuan, and the people's livelihood in the Liaodong counties is gradually recovering. Otherwise, he really doesn't know whether he should continue to keep armored heavy cavalry.

Of course, the benefits of having armored heavy cavalry are also obvious, and horizontal push combat on the plains is almost always disadvantageous.

Regardless of whether the opponent is cavalry or infantry, armored heavy cavalry can ignore the rain of swords, guns and arrows, and break the enemy into an unstoppable situation.

Looking at the dead horse, Yu Chijiong stroked his beard and said, "King Zhao once formed a heavy cavalry with a force of about [-] troops, but because of the huge cost and the fact that Hetao's horses are not suitable for fighting in heavy armor. give up."

Jiang Chengxiao said: "The horses that are most suitable for armored and heavy cavalry should be the horses from the Western Regions."

The war horses of the Western Regions are tall and powerful, and they are several grades stronger than the Liaodong war horses and Hetao war horses.

Jinshi's only racecourse is the Hetao area located in the middle of the "Ji" shape at the west end of the Dahe River.

This place has been the horse breeding place of the Central Plains Dynasty since ancient times, but the quality of the war horses is difficult to compare with the Turkic war horses and the Liaodong war horses.

The reason why Jiang Chengxiao was able to obtain Liaodong war horses was because Goguryeo was destroyed. He slaughtered the prairie tribes in the northeastern part of Liaodong, and subdued some prairie people who specially raised horses for him.

There is no problem for these Liaodong war horses to cooperate with light cavalry, but it is impossible to adapt to heavy cavalry.

The generals were talking about the horses, and Pei Yuanyan escorted Yu Wenhuaji to Jiang Chengxiao's side.

"Your Highness, the bandit Kou Yuwenhuaji has been taken down, waiting for His Highness to deal with him."

Only then did Jiang Chengxiao turn and look at Yu Wenhuaji.

At this moment, Yu Wenhuaji looked quite embarrassed, the armor on his body had been removed by Pei Yuanyan, his hair was disheveled, and his face was dark.

"What else is there to deal with? Yu Wenshu usurped the throne and murdered the king. The Yuwen clan deserves to die. They are at odds with this king. Let's drag it down and kill it." Jiang Chengxiao said indifferently.

Yu Wenhuaji: "."

This isn't right, shouldn't it be to humiliate him first, and then offer him a condition to release him back?

Pei Yuanyan bared his teeth and pulled Yu Wenhuaji down to behead him.

"Forgive me!" Yu Wenhuaji yelled.

Pei Yuanyan stopped, looked at Jiang Chengxiao, and waited for Jiang Chengxiao's order.

"What else do you have to say, Brother Yuwen." Jiang Chengxiao deliberately bit the word 'Brother Yuwen' very hard.

Yu Wenhuaji quickly explained: "Qing Que, you don't know, Your Majesty was not killed by my father. My father was ordered to enter the palace that day, and Your Majesty was killed by thieves. Besides, the Hall of Mental Cultivation was on fire. My father has tried his best to rescue His Majesty." .”

"It seems that this is different from what the empress said." Jiang Chengxiao sneered, "Brother Yuwen, you don't have to talk nonsense. Everyone in the world agrees on whether Yuwenshu usurped the throne and murdered the king. Your crimes cannot be tolerated. Forgive me, drag it down and cut it off."

After the words fell, Pei Yuanyan wanted to drag Yu Wenhuaji again.

Yu Wenhuaji hurriedly said: "Qingque, as long as you tell me what you want, I will let my father give it to you! I just ask you to spare my life!"

He really didn't want to die, he hadn't enjoyed the good life in Luoyang yet, so how could he want to die in this place.

Hearing this, Jiang Chengxiao silently praised Yu Wenhuaji in his heart.

Good brother, you are still on the right track.

At this time, Du Ruming saw the right time and stood up.

"Your Highness, since ancient times, the two armies have been at war, and the commander should not be insulted lightly. Why don't you take Yu Wenhuaji into custody for now."

Jiang Chengxiao looked embarrassed, "But Yu Wenshu harmed my father, if I don't kill Yu Wenhuaji, I'm afraid"

Yu Wenhua became anxious, "Qingque, we didn't kill King Zhao, we never met King Zhao!"

Of course Jiang Chengxiao knew that Yu Wenshu had not killed King Zhao, the reason why he said that was just to see Yu Wenhuaji's reaction.

It seemed that Yu Wenhuaji was really scared.

No kind of waste.
