"Zhao She, look, this general said that the Lin Hu people would definitely come!" When Lian Po saw the Lin Hu cavalry army that was coming from the distance on the horizon, he was so happy.

Zhao She nodded and reminded him: "General, be careful. Although the Lin Hu people are not strong, they are not as strong as they can defeat them at will."

Lian Po waved his hand disapprovingly: "Of course this general knows! By the way, do you think this general, as the main general, should I meet King Lin Hu first and say hello?"

Zhao She: "...it shouldn't be necessary. King Lin Hu must not have this interest."

Lian Po sighed: "That's so regretful. To be honest, you don't feel like talking and laughing with the enemy general in front of thousands of troops like a king, very..."

Zhao She used a word she had just learned to help Lian Po hide her embarrassment: "It's very handsome."

"Yes, it's very handsome!" Lian Po slapped his thigh and smiled, "You said, it would be great if I could be as handsome as the king. Forget it, let's not mention this, let's prepare for the whole army to fight."

The messengers began to run back and forth. The cavalry gathered together in units of hundreds of cavalry to form small square formations, and hundreds of small square formations gathered together to form a huge policy. Although they could not be strict in line, they were still in order.

On the other side, King Lin Hu led the generals of Lin Hu to look at the Zhao cavalry opposite.

The second prince Bao Lu couldn't help but sigh: "These Zhao people are too rich."

As soon as this statement was spoken, it was immediately recognized by many generals of Lin Hu.

"They have two horses!"

"The leather armor on her body is so neat, it looks like it was made by the same mother."

"It seems that the saddle and stirrup were also made by the same father!"

"There is also a bow! Look, that bow is so long!"

"Sabers, do you think those sabers are also made of iron?"

"A saber can be exchanged for ten horses. Do you think so many of them have sabers, how many adult horses can they exchange for?"

"At least it can be exchanged for 50,000 horses, right?"

...

The generals of Lin Hu all expressed their feelings, which made King Lin Hu's face twitch and couldn't help but shout: "It's not the first time I have seen the cavalry of Zhao people. They are all talking about something here. Are you a Zhao person or a Lin Hu person!"

After King Lin Hu shouted, everyone closed their mouths, but the expression of envy in their eyes was there, without any concealment.

There is no way, Lin Hu is too poor!

Most of the Linhu cavalry were wearing tattered leather jackets, and the wooden bows were made by themselves. The arrows were made of bones or stones of wild animals and sharply ground. As for close-fitting weapons... If it weren't for the fact that they had captured a lot of equipment from the arsenal of several small cities in the Shangjun of Zhao State before, they could not even have a weapon in their hands.

The eldest prince would look at this scene and couldn't help but sigh softly.

The gap that can be seen from the naked eye alone is already so big. Can this battle really be won?

These are the serious elite border cavalry of Zhao State. They are not the kind of county soldiers who were recruited on the spot in Shangjun. They were mostly Qin people and had no fighting spirit in defending the city.

King Lin Hu didn't care about these things. After scolding the chaotic generals, the king of the Lin Hu clan said in a deep voice: "Come on, I will give you five thousand people, you go to the left wing. Bao Lu, you will also take five thousand people to the right wing. I am the central army. You will send troops first to restrain the wing of the Zhao people. Remember, if you see the Longxiang army of the Zhao people, don't hedge against them and retreat immediately, do you understand?"

The two princes agreed at the same time.

King Lin Hu looked solemn, his eyes flashed across the faces of the two princes and others like lightning: "The purpose this time is very simple. Even if you can't beat the Zhao people, we must let Master Zhao and King Zhao know that our Lin Hu is not easy to mess with! Don't think about keeping our strength for your damn tribes. If you lose this time, the iron hooves of Zhao people will cross the entire Henan grassland, just like they stepped through Yanmen and Yunzhong before! If you don't want to become a slave to Zhao, everyone will fight to the death this time, otherwise you will wait for your wife to warm the bed for the Zhao men and your children to be the shepherd slaves of Zhao people! Do you understand?"

Lin Hu and the generals responded with a loud bang and then dispersed.

Lian Po looked up at the sky above his head. Judging from the height of the sun, it was just after Chen and Si that time had arrived.

The sky is high and the clouds are light and the grass is green, which is a good time to kill people.

Lian Po took out his longbow, took down a loud arrow from behind, and pulled the bowstring full.

"Xilulu!"

The arrow pierced the air and headed forward with a sharp sound.

"Run for me!"

Behind Lian Po, a huge flag began to wave left and right.

Immediately, two Zhao cavalry rushed out from the flank, each with two thousand cavalrymen. They drew an arc and headed towards the two wings of Lin and Hu army.

On the opposite side, King Lin Hu watched the scene and curled his lips slightly: "Hmph, it's been so many years, are the people of Zhao still the same thing? Let Yu and Bao Lu go out too!"

With the order from King Lin Hu, two cavalrymen on both wings of Lin Hu's army also sent two cavalrymen to fight. Due to King Lin Hu's prior instructions, neither princes were careless and sent three thousand cavalrymen, each of which was one thousand more than the Zhao army.

Zhao She looked at this scene and was a little uneasy, saying, "King Lin Hu wants to spend time with us."

Lian Po nodded and said in a deep voice: "This King of Lin Hu is indeed worthy of being the one who was able to escape his life under the Lord's father. There is indeed such a little thing, what do you think?"

Zhao She shrugged and said, "It depends on how powerful Lin Hu's army is. Our number of soldiers is already smaller than Lin Hu. If we are suppressed, we may have to send out the Longxiang army."

"No." Lian Po said: "King Lin Hu followed my Da Zhao to fight. He must have known the power of the Longxiang Army and was wary of it. It would not be possible to directly dispatch it."

Zhao She looked at Lian Po in surprise, and suddenly felt that his old partner was a little unfamiliar.

Why do you suddenly feel smart?

Lian Po obviously noticed Zhao She's thoughts, glared at him and said, "What are you looking at? It's not that I am bragging. Except for the general, no one in Zhao's position in commanding cavalry is above me!"

Zhao She said oh, saying, "What should I do now?"

Lian Po smiled and said, "Just watch, this King Hu of Lin, really thinks that using more sheep can deal with the wolves from Da Zhao? It's ridiculous!"

While speaking, the Lin Hu cavalry and the Zhao cavalry also officially began the battle.

Looking at the battle in front of him, Zhao She widened her eyes curiously.

Since they were all serving in the Zhao infantry before, although Zhao She could ride a horse, this was just the basic skills that a scholar in this era, especially the Zhao scholars should have.

Among the seven major warring countries, Zhao was the only country that listed cavalry as a separate army and had more than five-digit cavalry, so it was the first time that Zhao She had seen such a large-scale battle between cavalry.

Zhao She found that this was really different from what he imagined.

The confrontation between cavalry did not collide fiercely like infantry. It had just entered the range, and then both sides went around in circles and began to pick up the longbow behind them.

Shooting each other.

Dense arrows fly in the air, falling in an arc, either shooting into the enemy's body accurately or piercing to the ground accurately, and the tail feather behind the arrow shaft shaking slightly.

Zhao She watched the arrows on both sides fly over in the air and then fly over again, then fly over again...

This is not the cavalry battle he wants to see.

Zhao She couldn't help but say, "That's it?"

Lian Po laughed and blinked at Zhao She: "Continue to watch."

Gradually, Zhao She saw some tricks.

Although it is called mutual shooting, there are still obvious differences.

First of all, the Zhao army cavalry used standard longbows and iron arrows, which were obviously stronger in terms of range and power than the simple wooden bows and bone arrows made by the Linhu cavalry themselves.

Then, although the unified standard leather armor on the Zhao cavalry could not completely stop Lin Hu's army's arrows, the protective power was still much stronger than the ragged leather jackets and leather pants on most of the Lin Hu cavalry.

The attack is stronger and the defense is stronger, which allows the Zhao cavalry to cause stronger damage to the Linhu cavalry while also causing far less damage to the damage to the opponent.

More importantly, this Zhao army cavalry has followed Zhao's father in battle since Hu's uniform and cavalry, fighting south and north, fighting Lin Huloufan, destroying Zhongshan Qi State, showing off his power outside Jimo City, and drinking horses under Daliang City. In terms of individual soldiers and group quality, they are far superior to Lin Hujun who has no training and can only rely on their horse instinct to rush forward.

Speaking of the instinct, most of the people in this Zhao army's cavalry came from Lin Hu among the northern counties conquered by Zhao State, Lou Fan, the two major nomadic peoples... Of course, they are more willing to call themselves Zhao State people now.

In short, this is a very unfair mutual shooting in all aspects. The Linhu cavalry were at a disadvantage in both attacking and defending, individual soldiers and groups.

As the arrow rain went back and forth, Lin Hu cavalry fell off the horse. Although the Zhao cavalry also suffered casualties, anyone with discerning eyes could see that the speed of the war loss on both sides was not of the same level at all. Lin Hu cavalry died too quickly, too many!

When Zhao She discovered that in just over a quarter of an hour, Lin and Hu's two left and right wing cavalry fighting began to become loose and crumbling due to excessive casualties, he understood where Lian Po's confidence came from.

Lian Po sneered and pointed the whip in his hand straight to the opposite side: "If you want to win over my Da Zhao Jingqi by the advantage of numbers? Twenty thousand is definitely not possible. Let King Lin Hu bring at least 50,000 cavalry to come!"

Zhao She nodded in conscience. At this moment, he finally understood why his king, who has always been known for his knowledge of people, appointed Lian Po, a guy who usually feels unreliable, to command this cavalry.

As for the quality of our Da Zhao soldiers, I can do it if I go to him.

...

On the other hand, Lin Hu's leaders also discovered the problem.

"Damn it!" King Lin Hu gasped and frowned.

The strength shown by the cavalry of Zhao State was far beyond the imagination of King Hu of Lin.

In King Lin Hu's memory, the Zhao cavalry was not so strong when he fought with Lin Hu more than ten years ago, and when he went to Shangjun and Yiqu a few years ago, the Zhao cavalry seemed not so strong. Why did the Zhao cavalry become so strong when Lin Hu became the enemy of the Zhao cavalry?

King Lin Hu couldn't understand it, but as the leader of the Lin Hu clan for many years, he knew one thing clearly that if he didn't find a way, the collapse of the left and right wings would be almost inevitable.

In the current situation, either continue to increase troops or retreat first and avoid the edge.

King Lin Hu hesitated for a long time. Seeing that the vanguard army attacking on the left and right wings was on the verge of collapse, he finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Come here, go and notify the Lord and Bao Lu immediately, and let them retreat immediately!"

Just as the messenger and Pegasus went to the two wings to convey the message, an unexpected thing happened.

On the right wing of Lin Hu's army, the two thousand cavalry that had originally remained suddenly advanced on their own and joined the battlefield without the consent of Lin Hu!

Seeing this, King Lin Hu was shocked: "Who gave him the courage to attack by himself? Damn it, send someone to come over immediately and call him back, hurry!!!"

Amid the roar of King Lin Hu, more Lin Hu's messengers swarmed towards the right wing.

It was at this time that Lian Po and Zhao She also started a conversation.

Zhao She handed the helmet to Lian Po and couldn't help but say, "You are the master general, and the master general should not take risks easily."
