Wushuang Wudi of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 56
"Thirty years of fame and dust and soil, eight thousand miles of cloud and moon!"

Lv Bu was full of fighting spirit and sang impromptuly.

Chang'an is six hundred miles away from here, and this place is six hundred miles away from Feng Yi. Lu Bu has traveled a thousand miles. Although it is not as good as Yue Fei's battle of eight thousand miles, it is a heroic act to drive out the Tartars and exterminate foreign thieves!Feng Yi County is not too far from Chang'an, the range is 300 to [-] miles.

Seven thousand cavalry, with their horseshoes ticking, trampled on the ground. Behind the team, they raised long smoke and dust. They were in the shape of a spindle, led by Lu Bu and his Bingzhou cavalry, marching quickly, galloping on the loess plateau in the northwest .

Although they knew that they were going to attack the 7000 Qiang people with [-] people, the soldiers still looked resolute, full of confidence and fighting spirit.Whoever offends my strong man will be punished even if he is far away!Swear to smash these rebels who harmed the people!

This was a long-distance raid of six hundred miles, especially the Bingzhou iron cavalry. Their armor was heavier than ordinary cavalry. They had just marched for hundreds of miles, and the load on the horses was under pressure.Lü Bu commanded [-] cavalry, passing Fuyi, crossing the Northland, and headed for Pinyang County in Fengyi County on a nearly linear trajectory.He estimated that the greedy Qiang people who had tasted the sweetness should continue to head towards the warm and rich south after capturing and looting Suyang County.

Sure enough, the Qiang people at this time were in a mighty state, with men and horses mixed together, meandering forward and marching southward.

"Haha! The Han people are really rich! We used to be really stupid. We have been hiding in the desolate north, enduring the wind, sand and cold, and grazing cattle and sheep. How stupid! The south is warm and rich! However, these Han people are weak and bullying , there is the opponent of our warriors!" During the march, from time to time, the Qiang people laughed wantonly and said such words.

"I heard that even the well-known Lu Bu was frightened and went to the west. I see, he is afraid of us at all! Coward! Haha! That's why he was embarrassed in the name of beating Xiliang people." Escape the Guanzhong area!" Some people exaggeratedly sarcastically said that they were extremely arrogant and confident.

"Kill! Kill all the way! No one is an opponent! It seems that even Chang'an City is about to be the prey of our clan! I heard that it is the most affluent place in the whole world! The warehouses are full of money, the palace is magnificent, Women are extremely beautiful and gentle!" The more arrogant ones said arrogantly.

They were very enthusiastic, and the whole clan took action, including women and children. All of these people had greedy eyes and bloody hands.They swarmed southward without paying attention. The team that included a large number of spoils already seemed a bit bloated and exaggerated.

Two days later, the Qiang people arrived at their destination. Outside the city of Pinyang County, they set up a simple camp with only sparse fences and tents. As nomads, they didn't build a city, so naturally they didn't build a camp.These people, relying on their large number of people, do not take Pinyang County in their eyes at all.

They were noisy and bustling, and the area was very lively. These people didn't seem to be here for a war, but rather for a festival.

It's all the blood and sweat of the plundering men and people, and a large number of spoils make them so excited.

A Biaoqiang rider came roaring to the gate of Pinyang County, yelled wantonly, smiled "woooo", flaunting his power, and beheaded several Han women in front of the defenders in the city, provoking Get intimidated.

"These wild dogs! Damn scum!" On the city tower, the guards and soldiers gritted their teeth and clenched their fists! "My lord! I'll fight it out! I'll fight the Qiang dog!" They begged for orders one after another, "Where's Marquis Wen? Why didn't Marquis Wen lead his troops here!"

"Don't be impulsive! The city has a population of nearly 3 and 2000 soldiers! The city defense here is not comparable to that of the two counties in the north. The Qiang people may not be able to attack it! Don't be impulsive!" the guard shouted loudly.

"It's all damn Ma Teng and Han Sui. They are so powerful that Marquis Wen has no choice but to go and meet them!" The guard sighed, "This is a troubled world. The Han family's children don't kill foreign enemies, but they are Cannibalism started! The princes of the Kanto region are also fighting in chaos! Alas! Sad!" He sighed.

"Everyone! We must defend the city! Otherwise, our wives and children will be killed!" He encouraged.

"Fight to the end!" The soldiers suddenly agreed, and the people in the city mobilized one after another.

The Chituma claims to travel [-] miles a day, but in fact, it is impossible for Lu Bu's [-] cavalry to go that fast.However, since it was a long-distance attack, it was naturally a rapid march.Lu Bu's choice of an all-cavalry unit is also based on this consideration.

"Drive! Hurry up! Those who are behind will catch up later! Don't worry about the big troops!" Lu Bu ordered.

Soldiers are expensive and fast!The sooner you arrive at the battlefield, the less likely the city will fall, and the more opportunities you have to attack from inside and outside!

The war horses are galloping, turbulent and surging, like a great river going east and west, rushing endlessly.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Lu Bu murmured silently in his heart, and the soldiers gritted their teeth, galloping their beloved horses ruthlessly and marching at a fast pace.

In two days, Lu Bu led his troops and marched a full 400 miles!Nearly a hundred horses and the soldiers on them fell behind. They will arrive later, and more than a dozen people and horses died on the way to the battlefield.You know, the ancient cavalry generally marched at a speed of 80-100 miles per day, and only marched at a speed of 160-200 miles per day.When Huo Qubing attacked the Xiongnu, it was at this speed.

Of course, if the cost is not considered, or if the horse is changed without changing the person, the speed can reach more than 300 miles per day.

On the third day, the Qiang people organized thousands of infantry and launched a tentative attack on Pinyang County relying on impromptu siege equipment.Thousands of Qiang people screamed and launched a fierce attack, but they were stubbornly blocked by the defenders.

Pinyang's city defense is relatively good, and its population is rich, so its soldiers are more elite. Well-trained, they fought with the Qiang people, fought bravely, and defeated the advance and attack of the Qiang people in one fell swoop.These Qiang people plundered a lot, and after living a warm and full life, they were less willing to fight desperately like before when they were on the verge of destruction.

While Lu Bu continued to march in a hurry, they didn't pay attention to the various customs and various environments on the road. Apart from sending out scouts for investigation, they were just busy on their way.

Finally, Lu Bu and seven thousand cavalry entered Fengyi County and approached Pinyang County. The vanguard's scouts could already see Pinyang County standing on the plain.

"Marquis Wen, we found the main force of the Qiang people! They are outside Pinyang City and have surrounded the city! There are about [-] to [-] people!" The scout reported.

"Okay! We have finally arrived! The whole army is on standby! Rest on the spot and stay alert! The scouts will come with the Marquis, and go to investigate and look for fighter opportunities. Tomorrow, when the Qiang people attack the city, we will launch an attack on them!" Lu Bu With a sigh of relief, he ordered.

At this time, the main force of his cavalry was about 40 miles away from the Qiang people, but the Qiang people knew nothing about it.Regardless of the cost, the results of traveling thousands of miles in a hurry are reflected.
