Three hundred cavalry, six hundred horses, one person and two horses, set off from Taiyuan in the afternoon and arrived in Pingcheng when it was dark.

Although it was a night attack, Meng Tian still did a long deduction.

According to the latest information obtained in Taiyuan, the Yellow Turban Army has a total of about 250,000 to 300,000.

Most of them are young and old wives, and less than 50,000 can really fight.

There were less than 20,000 people who attacked Pingcheng.

Even if there is a day's rest, there will be no 30,000 soldiers in Pingcheng now.

Three hundred cavalry against 30,000 soldiers, it seems that there is no chance of winning.

But Meng Tian didn't think so.

Li Jiancheng gave him the task of harassing and suppressing the momentum of the Yellow Turban troops in Pingcheng.

At the same time, explore the combat effectiveness of these people.

Meng Tian knew that the crime was good and he led the army for many years. He had developed a intuition: the other party would definitely be prepared.

I also know that Li Jiancheng's idea of ​​raiding the next day was actually very bad.

But he still did not hesitate when receiving the task.

He knew Yang Mo's status in Taiyuan.

It seems to be quite high now, and all forces have given him face.

Whether it is the college, the clinic, and the salt tax transaction he wanted to do next went smoothly.

But in Meng Tian's eyes, this kind of success is just a sand sculpture on the beach.

The waves will break as soon as they hit. If the waves are a little bigger, nothing will be left after the tide is gone.

The reason is very simple, because he has no military power.

Since he has decided to follow Yang Mo in this life, he needs to find a way to make up for the military power.

In recent days, Meng Tian has been following Li Jiancheng and has also learned about the prince's abilities and attitude towards Yang Mo.

Excellent ability, but not so outstanding, more than capable, less enterprising.

His attitude towards Yang Mo should not be very good, but he has not attacked until now because the Taiyuan war is more important to him.

Meng Tian believed that once the Taiyuan war ended, he would definitely attack Yang Mo.

And how much he made in this war determines the depth of the knife being penetrated by them.

So even though he knew that the raid was dangerous, Meng Tian still accepted it without hesitation.

For Yang Mo and to prove himself: even if he travels through thousands of years, he is still the General Meng who shocked the Huns.

Fortunately, Li Jiancheng is not so stupid that he wants to use the Battle of Taiyuan to eliminate dissidents.

Therefore, he agreed to Meng Tian's proposal to serve as the vanguard general.

For example, one person has two horses, one carries a horse and one war horse.

Wang Gui raised an objection to this: It takes more than two hours to travel from Taiyuan to Pingcheng, so why do you need to get two horses?

Wouldn’t it be a beautiful thing to do in one go?

The two horses were a bit wasteful.

The civil servant's question made Meng Tian sneer and directly criticized the reason for refutation on his face.

The advantage of the cavalry is indeed to make a concerted effort, breaking through the enemy camp with an unstoppable momentum, causing a huge psychological and physiological sense of oppression to the other party.

However, the war horses used for charge are horse breeds with poor endurance. If you arrive at Pingcheng after more than two hours of trekking, even if you don’t run out of your physical strength, you will not be able to exert your greatest charging advantage.

The most important thing is that he also has to bring these dead soldiers back.

It is important to rush in, but it is even more important to rush out.

It would be even better if they could go in and out in seven and kill them so hard that they could be scattered.

The premise of these is that the war horse must have enough physical strength.

Wang Gui was speechless when he was criticized, and Li Jiancheng also had more expectations for Meng Tian in his eyes.

Of course, in Meng Tian's eyes, one person and two horses are just low-end. If one person can have three horses and one person and four horses, it is the most ideal state.

It’s a pity that there are not so many horses in Taiyuan.

The war horses met Meng Tian’s requirements, and Li Jiancheng did not stop him from the personnel and equipment.

Meng Tian asked all the three hundred soldiers to be the personal guards he had chosen before, and Li Jiancheng agreed.

Li Jiancheng also agreed to all the equipment for the Mingguang Armor.

Sanbai was excavated from the bottom of the house by Meng Tian and became his personal guard. After being disbanded by Li Jiancheng, the personal soldiers who were not allowed to be used were dressed in the sturdy and gorgeous bright light armor.

I was full of energy in my heart.

They wanted to follow Meng Tian and prove to Li Jiancheng and the Taiyuan army that General Meng chose us rightly.

And it was wrong for you to bring us down later.

Therefore, during the entire march, the team of 300 people was so quiet that it was scary.

Everyone's eyes were staring at the front. Meng Tian's abilities that had been trained before were all overflowing in a super high state.

Even Meng Tian was surprised that the order was prohibited.

"stop!"

After climbing over a hillside and looking at the hazy Pingcheng in the distance through the moonlight, Meng Tian raised his hand.

The people around him stopped immediately, and the people behind him followed quickly without any disorder.

"General, according to your order, this is the most suitable place we can find."

The scout captain of the Taiyuan Army said respectfully.

In order to expand the results of the battle, Meng Tian secretly asked the scouts who had been investigating the movements of the Yellow Turban Army to find several charge positions.

He looked around and looked around, and was very good, and he could be as powerful as a bamboo shoot.

"What's going on in the city?"

The hazy moonlight was not very bright, Meng Tian had good eyesight and could vaguely see the soldiers patrolling the city walls in the distance.

Pingcheng is a small city, and the so-called city wall is not high, or it is not considered a city wall.

In Meng Tian's eyes, such a city wall and a city gate are no different from paper.

As long as you break through the city gate, three hundred cavalry can enter in an instant.

"It seems to be alert. During the day, there were troops and horses, but I don't know where I went. At night, all directions also increased their guards, but Pingcheng has no dangers to guard, and there are mistakes everywhere."

As expected, Meng Tian was not surprised.

There is a person named Xiang Yu in the Yellow Turban Army. Yang Mo has told him this information.

After knowing the causes and consequences of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, Meng Tian, ​​not only did not have any fear, but instead was a little eager to try.

At the same time, I also understand why the Yellow Turban Army dared to raid a small town like Pingcheng that could be defended without any dangers.

This is very consistent with Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.

"Okay, you've done a good job."

Meng Tian was a little excited, but his voice was still calm: "This time, you will definitely be rewarded with your credit."

The captain of the scout who received praise from Meng Tian was also very excited, but his excitement could not be hidden and he knelt on one knee: "This is a humble duty, and I dare not take credit."

"Um..."

Meng Tian waved his hand to signal him to go down, and the scout captain bowed and retreated.

Looking at the quiet Pingcheng in the distance, Meng Tian's eyes became firm.

This is his first battle here, he only wins, not loses!

"Switch horses."

The low voice was not loud, but everyone came back, and all the more than 300 cavalry behind him changed into war horses in turn.

"Pick a piece and remove the grass!"

After Meng Tian finished speaking, the cavalry behind him took off the branches that had been tied in the horse's mouth and spit out the grass roots in his mouth.

A fierce light appeared in his eyes and his hand pressed on the waist knife around his waist.

Just waiting for Meng Tian's order.

Three hundred riders hid in the black, and the horses that took off the branches in their mouths sniffed and squirted with heat.

They seemed to realize what was going to happen next, and their hooves kept kicking and hitting on the ground.

The entire army is like a feathered arrow ready to go.

"Swish!"

Meng Tian slowly pulled out his waist knife and slowly tied the handle and palm together with a cloth strip.

The cavalry behind them also had regular movements.

Unless they cut off their arms, they will be with their swords.

The crossbow and short spear on the side of the horse's belly are also placed in the most convenient position, and everything is ready.

Meng Tian's waist knife with a cold light in his hand was even more intriguing against the moonlight.

"kill!"

The knife fell, the horse raised its hooves, and the soldier roared, and the next one was ahead.
Chapter completed!
