Great Military Division

Chapter 366 Preparing to build a tiger cavalry!Xu Chu + Feng Yan, the iron cavalry and the long drive, smash the enemy line!

Nanyang, Wancheng.

The Emperor's Palace.

martial arts arena.

Under the corridor on the side, Liu Bian sat on a futon, sipped tea, and looked at the two people standing below: "I think you should know that the imperial court is preparing to build a tiger cavalry, but it has not yet appointed a leader."

"You two, one is the chief general of the court's cavalry battalion, and the other is the sixth-ranked general in the riding competition. Both of you have the characteristics of the chief general of tiger cavalry."

"but."

Liu Bian glanced at the two people below, and said solemnly: "Who will the imperial court choose as the tiger cavalry commander, we need a contest between the two of you to make a final decision."

That's right!

The two people in the audience were none other than Feng Yan from the Beijun Tunqi Camp, and Xu Chu from Qiaojun.

In Liu Bian's impression, Feng Yan is proficient in cavalry tactics, and even more proficient in the method of training heavy cavalry, he is a rare general.

But Xu Chu is good at charging into battle, equivalent to a sharp knife, and can maximize the role of heavy cavalry.

It's a pity that these two cannot be combined into one, otherwise Liu Bian wouldn't have to be so entangled.

Feng Yan bowed his body and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, tell me, how do you want to compete? The last general and General Zhongkang must go all out to bring out their best state."

"Yes."

Xu Chuxiong was arrogant, and patted his chest to promise: "The final general will do his best to live up to His Majesty's trust and trust, and will not let His Majesty down."

"very good."

Liu Bian nodded, very satisfied with the two's answers: "In today's decisive battle, the winner can be the leader of the Tiger Cavalry, and the loser can also be the deputy. Both of you have your own strengths. You should help each other and make each other successful."

Feng Yan and Xu Chu cupped their hands: "Here."

Liu Bian got up and greeted the guards beside him: "Zhu Tong."

Zhu Tong naturally understood the emperor's intentions, and nodded immediately: "Here."

Immediately.

Bow and leave.

Not long after, Zhu Tong brought people to the martial arts arena, leading two well-armed horses and two sets of aluminum alloy armor.

Liu Bian waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and change your equipment, and then come back here. General Feng was born in a cavalry battalion and has actual combat experience. Take the lead in the competition and set an example for General Xu."

Feng Yan naturally would not refuse: "Here."

After the two left.

Liu Bian turned around and said, "Where is Dian Wei?"

Dian Wei took a step forward: "The end is here."

"Although you were blocked by the guards before, it's hard to think about it. The only one who can bridge the gap may be you here, so you have to show your real skills, understand?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the last general will go all out."

"it is good."

Tiger Cavalry is the most standard heavy cavalry.

In fact, the requirements for the team's riding skills are not so high. On the contrary, they have extremely high standards for the spirit of courage, charge, and fear of sacrifice.

If you encounter ordinary soldiers and horses, it will naturally be crushed in a devastating manner, but once you encounter an established team with a certain combat effectiveness, it will not be so easy.

In particular, when encountering an established spear formation, if they cannot tear apart the opponent's defense once, they will inevitably lose their speed advantage and fall into a melee. Moreover, they are in the enemy's formation, and they can easily be pulled off their horses and killed by enemies from all directions.

Yes!

Although the combat power of heavy cavalry is strong, it is by no means invincible.

When faced with a long weapon array that is tightly formed and covered by terrain or fortifications, heavy cavalry often have no way to start. If they charge rashly, even if they can destroy the enemy with a strong impact, they will suffer considerable damage.

From an economic point of view, the training cost of a heavy cavalry is probably much higher than that of several, or even dozens of ordinary infantry.

Tiger riding is by no means as simple as imagined.

This is the reason why Liu Bian spent so much time choosing the main general.

Now that you are determined to form a tiger cavalry, you must build a cavalry that is as perfect as possible, not just a heavy cavalry, but an empty frame without the soul of a heavy cavalry.

a long time.

Xu Chu and Feng Yan rode out.

They were covered in aluminum alloy battle armor, with masks on their helmets, and only two eyes were exposed. When they touched His Majesty, they couldn't even get off their horses, and could only nod their heads slightly:

"Please forgive me for not being able to fully salute because of the armor on my body."

"It's okay."

Liu Bian waved his hand, didn't care, and ordered: "General Feng, this is the starting point. You charge through the barrier and kill to the opposite side. Don't fall off the horse halfway, otherwise you will be directly judged as negative."

Feng Yan nodded and nodded: "The general understands."

Immediately.

Feng Yan held his horse and stood at the starting point.

Zhu Tong twirled his bow and set his arrows.

Whoosh!
The arrow piercing the clouds lifted into the sky.

Then, Feng Yan lightly kicked the war horse, making a crisp sound. The war horse snorted and began to gallop forward steadily. The speed was relatively slow at first, but then it steadily entered the speed-up stage.

With the help of the Military Division Alliance, Liu Bian also had some understanding of the tactics of the heavy cavalry. The speed of the heavy cavalry had to be gradually increased in order to accumulate enough kinetic energy.

In a sense, this is the momentum in the heavy cavalry law. Only by accumulating enough momentum can the combat effectiveness of the heavy cavalry be fully exerted.

It is clear!
Feng Yan is well versed in this way, and his every move is quite legal.

But soon, he entered the first difficulty.

A wave of crossbowmen rushed out from both sides, and they twitched their bows and set their arrows in unison, aiming at Feng Yan who was rushing towards him, and there was a wave of powerful shots accurate to the foot, followed by a burst of intensive clicking sounds.

However.
Feng Yan's speed did not decrease at all, he just nodded slightly, protected his only weak point, his eyes, and continued to charge forward relying on the narrow field of vision.

You know, these crossbowmen are His Majesty's personal guards, and they use triangular arrowheads, which have a super armor-piercing ability, but they still can't hurt Feng Yan at all, which shows that the defensive ability of the aluminum alloy armor is not inferior Refined iron.

Not far forward, three rows of spearmen and two rows of crossbowmen came out head-on. This is a standard spear formation, known as the nemesis of cavalry, even for heavy cavalry.

The key to breaking the army is the word "potential" and the word "courage". If you can break through the spear defense regardless of everything, the next step will be crushing.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Facing the arrow rain and rushing forward, the dense sound of tuk-tuk sounded again, Feng Yan straightened his horse without fear, and faced the flying spears, he slammed them head-on.

clang-!
Feng Yan swung vigorously, pushed aside three or five spears, and charged forward, allowing the rest of the spears to slash across his body, leaving shallow scars, while Feng Yan took advantage of the situation to force his way in. The gun circle, with the tall posture of a war horse, directly crushed it.

Pong!
Although it was successfully smashed away, the spear formation was broken.

However, in the eyes of the Military Division Alliance, there is a huge gap: "Master Bian, Feng Yan's personal combat ability is still too bad. If it is Xu Chu, it must be more than that."

"According to the expert's evaluation of Feng Yan, as a lieutenant general, he can train Xu Chu's army and play as a support, but if Feng Yan is the main general, the tiger cavalry will not be able to exert its power."

"That's right!"

Even Liu Bian himself was a little dissatisfied: "Although tiger cavalry mainly rely on horses to charge, personal bravery also accounts for a large proportion, so we must give full play to our advantages."

"That's why I put Dian Wei at the end. Even if there is no winner in the front, at Dian Wei's level, the gap will definitely be widened and Feng Yan will be convinced."

The Military Division Alliance said softly: "Well, the experts understand your arrangement."

Liu Bian's eyes were still on Feng Yan.

There is really no pressure in the first two levels, and the key lies in the third level.

At this moment, there was only one row of infantry, one army of soldiers and horses in front, and no spearmen.

Dian Wei's voice was loud, and he shouted coldly: "General Feng, the last general is Sima Dianwei in the personal guards. You need to hold on to a certain hand for [-] rounds to pass the test."

In the alloy battle armor, a voice sounded immediately: "The general's reputation, how can I not know it, but don't worry, I, Feng Yan, will definitely defeat the general, instead of insisting on twenty rounds."

Boom-!
The war horse galloped forward, and the speed was already at its maximum.

Such a huge monster weighing nearly half a ton, no matter if it hits anyone, it will be almost the price of death.

However, Dian Wei did not dodge or dodge, holding a pair of iron halberds, staring at Feng Yan.

"kill-!"

A growl.

Feng Yan picked up the horse and pointed at Dian Wei's head, condescending, and it was a blow to the head.

Although such an offensive was ferocious, in Dian Wei's eyes, it was as slow as a snail.

Without hesitation, he swung the iron halberd in his palm, facing Feng Yan's falling horse lance, and slammed it head-on, only to hear a crisp clang, and the lightning-fast horse lance was stopped by Dian Wei easily.

At this moment, Dian Wei twisted the iron halberd, and pressed the horse with his backhand. Another iron halberd pierced quickly.

At the same time, the soldiers on the left and right raised the iron chains, one on the left and one on the right, and they were about to charge towards them, which made Feng Yan's eyes pop red and his heart was filled with hatred.

He yanked the horse vigorously, but it remained motionless as if poured with lead water!
Dian Wei's strength has far exceeded his imagination, and if he can't pull out his weapon, he will definitely be attacked by the iron chain. This kind of cooperation is unsolvable.

"Damn!"

Feng Yan secretly chewed.

Originally, he wanted to defeat Dian Wei, successfully break through, and win the favor of His Majesty the Emperor with an absolute advantage.

But who would have thought that Dian Wei's strength was far beyond his imagination, and the opponent's skillful cooperation could even kill him without any power to fight back.

boom!
Feng Yan's body was attacked by iron chains. Like a kite with broken strings, he flew upside down from the horse and fell to the ground with a bang, creating a cloud of smoke and dust.

Dian Wei turned sideways quickly, causing the armored horses to roar past him, and was finally stopped by the soldiers behind him, leading him back to the starting point.

Although there are many written descriptions of the whole process, it is only a few breaths in reality, especially Dian Wei's series of operations are as fast as lightning, as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water.

When Feng Yan was rescued, he took off his helmet and walked in front of the emperor: "Your Majesty, there will be a heavy trust in the end."

Liu Bian waved his hand to signal him to step aside: "You have done a good job, next, let Zhongkang try."

Xu Chu nodded slightly: "Here."

Immediately.

Following Feng Yan's method, he lightly kicked the horse's belly, let the horse jog first, and then gradually increased the speed, so as to ensure that the horse had accumulated enough potential energy before it could unleash the true power of the tiger rider.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
A wave of arrows came whistling, Xu Chu, like Feng Yan, just nodded slightly, and rushed straight over without any fancy, listening to the dense sound of beeping, Xu Chu felt a sense of excitement.

In the second stage of the spear formation that followed, Xu Chu swung his horse, and the strong force whipped up a gust of wind, and easily swept away seven or eight spear shafts. Sweep away all incoming weapons.

Seeing this scene, Liu Bian nodded slowly, and praised secretly: "Xu Chu is on the melee weapon, he can literally beat Feng Yan N streets, and the two of them are not on the same level at all."

"That's right!"

The voice of the military division alliance also sounded: "Xu Chu is still worthy of training. Feng Yan will help him and train soldiers. It's good, but it's fine to be the chief general."

Liu Bian took it for granted, and thought to himself: "I guess Feng Yan should be completely convinced after this process is completed, and he will naturally be convinced when he has the opportunity to go to the battlefield again."

On the martial arts arena.

Xu Chu passed the second hurdle easily, followed by Dian Wei's final test.

Because of Feng Yan's lessons learned from the past, Xu Chu did not choose the routine of slashing with his head. Instead, he took the lead in stabbing the soldiers beside him with a horse spear to prevent the opponent's iron chain from attacking.

but
Dian Weifei is dead.

The moment Xu Chu raised his weapon, he had already predicted the opponent's combat intention.

He stepped sideways for a certain distance to block in front of the soldiers, and the iron halberd in his palm hit Xu Chu's horse lance as usual, and followed the twin halberds to quickly twist and lock Xu Chu's weapon completely.

At the same time, the two soldiers on the left and right quickly rushed out and swept towards Xu Chu with iron chains. The familiar and tragic scene seemed to be happening again!

But rather.
Xu Chu's reaction was extremely fast.

He didn't try to pull out the horse's lance, but quickly held the lance under his ribs, and at the same time held the lance tightly with one hand, relying on the power of the horse's charge to deal with Dian Wei's offensive.

At the same time, Xu Chu's other hand quickly stretched out, and he precisely grasped the iron chain in the palm of his hand, trying to lift it above his head and completely get rid of the iron chain's attack.

Have to admit.

Xu Chu's thinking is extremely correct, only by avoiding the iron chain can the problem be considered fundamentally solved, so that he can concentrate on fighting Dian Wei and survive twenty rounds.

But
What Xu Chu didn't expect was that.

The other two soldiers in this group also rushed over with the iron chains, and just now he lifted the first iron chain over his head, and the next iron chain swept towards his chest.

clang-!
A crisp golden sound exploded.

Xu Chu was attacked by the iron chain, but he didn't fly upside down from the horse. Instead, he pinched the horse's belly tightly with his two thick and powerful thighs, and at the same time dropped his hand on the iron chain, and desperately grabbed the rein.

"drive-!"

Xu Chu became ruthless and shouted loudly.

He desperately clamped the horse's belly, tried his best to hold the reins and the pole, relying on the momentum accumulated in the early stage, rushed forward recklessly, and dragged the guard soldiers who were pulling the iron chain to the ground, enough The foot rubbed more than ten feet away.

Although Dian Wei's strength is very strong, it is still difficult to match it in front of the cavalry who is accelerating and charging. The shoes under his feet are rubbing against each other, and it is more than ten steps away before he swoops sideways to avoid the attack.

Hee woo hoo-!
Xu Chu broke through all obstacles, finally stopped slowly, reined in his horse and turned around.

At this moment, Liu Bian stood up, and the excitement on his face could not be concealed: "Haha! Zhongkang, I am sure I saw you right, you have the kind of recklessness that tiger cavalry needs most."

Xu Chu dismounted from his horse, stepped forward, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "The last general, Xu Chu, thank you Your Majesty."

Liu Bian turned his head and glanced at Feng Yan: "General Feng, are you convinced?"

Feng Yan nodded: "The final general is convinced."

"it is good!"

Without hesitation, Liu Bian gave an order: "Since that's the case, from today onwards, Xu Chu will be the leader of the tiger riders, and Feng Yan will be the deputy commander of the tiger riders."

"Zhongkang!" Liu Bian shouted.

"Yes." Xu Chu cupped his hands.

"This is the tiger riding training manual prepared by me. You two go back and study it carefully. You must understand it thoroughly, so that the tiger riding can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and strive to go to the battlefield as soon as possible to make contributions to the court."

"Here."

******
Sili, Luoyang.

Zhang Liao barracks.

now.

Zhang Liao stood in front of the sand table, staring carefully at Shan County.

This is the first line of defense garrisoned by Niu Fu's soldiers.

And behind him is Hangu Pass where Fan Chou was stationed.

Now, Dong Zhuo is dead, and the imperial court has issued an order to sweep Heluo as soon as possible to prepare for the attack on the state.

There are actually many ways to enter Bingzhou from Heluo, such as the southern Sanxing, Zhiguanxing, Taihangxing, and Mengmenxing among the eight Taihang Xings.

but
In contrast, if Shanxian County can be captured and enter Hedong County from here, they can sweep across Bingzhou along the Yuncheng Basin, Linfen Basin, Taiyuan Basin, and Xinding Basin.

This route was much easier than starting from Shangdang High. Moreover, now that Dong Zhuo had died, Niu Fu had become a loner, which was definitely good news for Zhang Liao.

Therefore, after discussing with Chen Gong, they decided to take the lead in starting from Shan County and open the way into the Yuncheng Basin in Hedong, so that they can gain absolute strategic initiative.

"Just hand over Hanoi to Zhang Yang. He had previously recruited soldiers in Shangdang, and he is familiar with the situation there. With him stationed in Hanoi County, he will definitely be able to defend the southern Sanxing."

"Well, it makes sense, in addition, we also need"

"."

Just as Zhang Liao and Chen Gong were discussing specific strategies.

"Report—!"

Suddenly, an announcement sounded outside the tent.

Zhang Liao looked up.

But seeing, my own scouts came in a hurry, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said: "General, there is news from Shan County that the city head has been replaced with a banner with the word 'Wang', and Niu Fu may be dead."

"what?"

Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of horror: "How is this possible? Niu Fu still has thousands of soldiers and horses under his tent, and most of them are cavalry. Even if he can't fight, he can still escape."

"how is this possible"

Speaking of this, Zhang Liao seemed to be in disbelief: "How could he be killed in such a short period of time? Could it be that he took refuge in Yuan Kai?"

"This"

The scout frowned and shook his head: "The villain doesn't know."

For the scouts, they are only responsible for inquiring about information, and they will tell the general what they see, and listen to the general. As for the judgment, they will leave it to the general himself.

I have to admit that Niu Fu's defeat was indeed very strange. According to the analysis of combat power, he could last for at least half a month, or even longer, but it was really strange to lose in just a few days.

"Wenyuan."

Just when Zhang Liao was feeling melancholy, Chen Gong at the side spoke softly, "Niu Fu may indeed lose."

Zhang Liao was stunned, and hurriedly turned his head to glance at Chen Gong: "Gongtai, did you guess something?"

Chen Gong nodded humbly: "Wen Yuan, let's think about it differently. If you were Yuan Kui, and you knew you were going to assassinate Dong, would you consider how to solve Dong Zhuo's old department as quickly as possible?"

"This"

Zhang Liao frowned, thinking carefully along the line of thought provided by Chen Gong.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through my mind: "Gongtai means that the moment Yuan Kai executed Dong Zhuo, he sent people to Hangu Pass, took the lead in recruiting Fan Chou, and then used Dong Zhuo's order to trap and kill Dong Zhuo. Niu Fu?"

"That's right!"

Chen Gong nodded affirmatively: ""Sun Tzu Yun": The love of soldiers is speedy, taking advantage of others' ignorance, and attacking what they don't guard against."

"In the commentary to "Sun Tzu" issued by His Majesty, it is called the asymmetrical battle caused by poor information. Niu Fu didn't know that Dong Zhuo was in danger. Yuan Kai took advantage of this and took advantage of others to trap and kill him. .”

"Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for Niu Fu to be recruited by Chang'an without us even noticing it, and if I am not wrong, the other party has already killed Niu Fu, and only recently changed his banner."

hiss-!
Zhang Liao gasped in surprise.

He nodded slowly, and said with absolute certainty: "That's right! It is indeed possible, and at this time, the opponent changed the flag to a big flag with the word 'King', clearly to lure us to attack."

"What a Yuan Kai!"

Zhang Liao showed a horrified look: "Unexpectedly, this old guy usually doesn't show his mountains and dews, but he doesn't make any noise. He has become a blockbuster, which is really admirable."

"Yes!"

Chen Gong pinched the goatee under his jaw, and said softly: "Yuan Wei is a leader in the Yuan family in Runan. He is a master in Confucian classics, art of war, and strategy."

"Now, he assassinated Dong Zhuo first and quickly stabilized the situation in Guanzhong. The next step is to unite with Yuan Shao and occupy Bingzhou by force. Hedong County will become Yuan Kai's main battlefield, so he will never give up."

"king?"

Zhang Liao frowned, thinking about the fierce general surnamed Wang in the Chang'an Han court.

However, after a long time, there was still no answer.

Chen Gong paused for a moment: "Wenyuan, Wang Yun is from the Wang family of Bingzhou, or the one who is currently stationed in Shan County is very likely to be Wang Yun."

"Yuan Kui is good at employing people. He sent Wang Yun to Shan County at the moment, and he also recruited the troops of Fan Chou and Niu Fu. Now he wants to lure us to attack Shan County. Obviously, he is preparing to sweep Bingzhou."

"This old fox."

What Chen Gong admired was the five-body cast, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's really amazing! This series of methods is indeed admirable. Wen Yuan, we have met our opponent this time."

Zhang Liao nodded humbly: "I don't know when Lord Xuande will come. If he leads the troops, we can completely let go. Even if we attack from Shangdang, there will be no problem."
