The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 21 You stay in Dingxiang

The military camp in Dingxiang already had 2 people stationed there.

Wei Qing had great power to send troops to the Xiongnu this time, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty directly gave him control of [-] troops.

Including the soldiers brought by Wei Qing, the total number is close to [-].

Among them, there are [-] cavalry, [-] heavy cavalry, and [-] light cavalry.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stepped on the shoulders of the six emperors and inherited the legacy of the rulers of the Han Dynasty. Now the Han Dynasty has a rich treasury and no shortage of military expenditures.

But even so, military expenditures were still insufficient to equip cavalry.

It is not easy to train a heavy rider, but it is easy to train a light rider, but the heavy rider needs to be selected on the basis of the light rider.

Generally speaking, the armor of heavy cavalry is plate armor, and the armor of light cavalry is leather armor.

The heavy cavalry's plate armor alone weighs 40-60 kilograms. Basically, from horses to soldiers, the armor coverage reaches more than 80.00%. In other words, the swords of this country generally have a very small probability of injury and a huge lethality. .

The weapons held by heavy cavalry are generally extremely lethal weapons such as heavy swords and battle axes.

But heavy riding also has a fatal flaw, because the horse is too heavily loaded and cannot carry out long-term attacks.

But almost no army could withstand the momentum and lethality of that wave of charges.

On the battlefield in northern Xinjiang, as long as the Huns saw the heavy cavalry of the Han Dynasty, their first reaction was not to fight, but to flee, because they were not on the same level at all.

Light riding is much simpler. The weight of the leather armor is between 10 and 20 kilograms, mostly around 10 kilograms. The weapons are mainly light guns such as guns. The weight of the horse is not large, so it is suitable for long-distance raids.

Therefore, outside the Great Wall, light cavalry is the main combat force.

It can be seen from this that no matter how rich Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was, he did not have enough financial resources to build too many heavy cavalry.

Dingxiang's [-] heavy cavalry is already a lot. For example, Zhao Xin of Liaodong only has [-] heavy cavalry in his army, and Li Guang's is even less, only [-].

Wei Ning followed Huo Qubing around the Dingxiang military camp.

After arriving here and seeing the heavy cavalry of the Han Dynasty, Wei Ning realized what the most important weapon of the country was.

"Dingxiang has so many elite soldiers and generals, why did the city of Dingxiang be looted like that?"

Wei Ning looked at Huo Qubing and asked.

Huo Qubing shook his head silently.

"Because there is a traitor and traitor in the city!"

A Qingqi [-]-man general stationed in Dingxiang came over and said indifferently: "If the city hadn't been secretly opened, we would have killed the opponent without leaving any trace behind!"

Wei Ning cupped his fists and said, "See General."

Huo Qubing clasped his hands behind his back and glanced at the hundred-man general.

Unlike Wei Ning, Huo Qubing still holds the official position of Lieutenant Yao. The hundred people clasped their fists and said to Huo Qubing: "See General!"

Huo Qubing gave a faint hum and said expressionlessly: "Don't be polite."

Wei Ning was a little envious of Huo Qubing. He was the pride of heaven when he first sent out troops. He could get many things without working hard, but he had to sacrifice his life to get them.

But this does not mean that Weining will look down upon Huo Qubing.

Along the way, Huo Qubing taught him many things, such as how to lead troops, how to fight, and so on.

If Huo Qubing hadn't taught him this kind of thing, Wei Ning might not have been able to learn it in his lifetime.

Don’t think that these things are not important, they are important, very important!

One person has one mind, and one hundred people have one hundred minds. If not managed well, these arrogant and fierce generals will have no discipline to speak of and no belief in victory. If the army is kept like this, even if it is taken out, it will not be able to win. What's the fight?
Huo Qubing was silent for a moment, then asked Dingxiang's Qingqi Hundred General, "Have the traitors been caught?"

The hundred generals shook their heads: "The governor's office has closed all the cities, and now the whole city is searching for traitors."

……

Inside the prefect's mansion.

The prefect of Dingxiang said to Wei Qing respectfully: "After the Huns fled Dingxiang, the officials sealed off the city of Dingxiang. No one can enter or leave, and the whole city is searched."

"It has been four days now and still no one has been found."

If these traitors and traitors were not found, Wei Qing would not be able to send troops from Dingxiang.If he sends troops and there is a fire in Dingxiang's rear, it will be meaningless for him to send troops.

Wei Qing gritted his teeth: "Trash!"

"Look! Hurry up and look for it!"

The prefect of Dingxiang hurriedly clasped his fists: "I will obey the general's orders!"

Wei Qing did not continue to stay at the Dingxiang Prefecture. After finding out what happened in Dingxiang, he mounted his horse and returned to the military camp with his soldiers.

After returning to the military camp, Wei Qing pondered for a while and said: "Go and summon Wei Ning to come see me!"

"Here!"

The soldiers left in a hurry and soon found Weining in the military camp.

"Cavalry Wei Ning, General Wei summoned."

Wei Ning was stunned for a moment and looked at Huo Qubing in confusion.

Wei Qing summoned him?

What is your identity?What is Wei Qing's identity?
One is a new recruit who has just joined the army, and the other is the commander-in-chief of the entire army, the great general of the Han Dynasty, the Great Sima, with a high position of authority.

Why?

Why does this kind of character meet me?
The gap is too big and shouldn't be from any perspective.

Huo Qubing smiled slightly and said, "My uncle summons you, so go and meet him. Maybe there will be a surprise?"

Wei Ning snorted and asked softly: "What kind of character does General Wei have?"

Wei Ning has never seen such a big person in his life.

Although Huo Qubing is also well-known, the process of getting to know Huo Qubing was very natural, so Weining didn't feel any pressure.

But Wei Qing was different. He was the military god of the Han Dynasty, the supreme commander of the entire army, and a man whose hands could reach the sky.

Huo Qubing smiled and said, "He will like you. It's done. Don't think blindly. Just say what you want to say and do what you want to do."

"Maybe it's a great thing for uncle to find you?" Huo Qubing smiled mysteriously.

"it is good!"

Weining didn't hesitate much and just followed the soldiers.

The hundreds of people on the side looked blankly at Wei Ning's leaving figure, wondering, is he really a soldier?Even a hundred-man general like myself is not qualified to meet the general!
Inside the tent of Wei Qing's Chinese army.

Wei Qing was holding a bamboo slip of military literature, sitting upright, wearing dark black casual clothes, quietly kneeling on a futon and reading.

Wei Ning entered the camp cautiously, bowed respectfully with his fists clasped, and said: "Weining, the new soldier, see the general!"

Wei Qing nodded and said, "Get up."

Wei Ning raised his head, and when he saw Wei Qing, he was stunned and said subconsciously: "It's you!"

amount.

"Convicted of a low position."

Wei Ning really didn't expect that he had known Wei Qing for a long time. It was Wei Qing who taught him how to ride horses in the military camp a few days ago, and Wei Ning presented him with horseshoes.

Wei Qing waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay."

"Are you still used to being in the cavalry camp these days?"

Wei Ning hurriedly said: "Get used to it."

Wei Qing's face was kind, and he was less aggressive than he was in the Prefect's Mansion. He put the military book aside and said, "Just get used to it. You can train well in Dingxiang in the future."

"what?"

Wei Ning raised his head in shock and murmured: "What...what do you mean?"

Wei Qing: "From now on, you will be responsible for guarding Dingxiang. There is no need to go out."

When Wei Ning heard this, his expression changed drastically!
