The city of Guangcheng, full of devastated arrow towers, gray bunkers, the smell of the wind, the burnt smell, and the unkempt guards, the scenes look very desolate, but although the guards look a little miserable on the outside, they are full of energy.

The Huangzhou army defended Guangcheng and fought against the invading Yangzhou army for months. The Huangzhou army did not defend the enemy, nor did it cut off reinforcements. The Yangzhou army's military strength advantage was not large, so for months, the two sides had come and go, and the battle was very lively.

"I went to Lingnan and almost didn't get used to snowing... Come on, drink!"

"I really can't get used to drinking this soda..."

"Hi, it's good if you get used to it, it's good if you get used to it..."

"Chen Junjun, come and persuade me...Oh, Master Li Jun, come and persuade me!"

"Don't, please ask Feng Ming's mansion to persuade him. Oh, Ning Langjun is a good drinker... a good stomach. Come on, the young master of the village will have another drink with Ning Langjun!"

The unshaven Tian Yilong took the newly prepared "soda" of a mysterious recipe brought to the reinforcements and clinked with Chen Fozhi, Feng Xuan, Ning Changzhen and others. The leader of the Hulin Army Li Shimo was present, and the leader of the "Yi Soldier" Tian Liuhu was also present.

Because drinking can easily make things happen, today's acquaintances who are "happy to meet" use the newly prepared "soda" to place wine and raise their glasses frequently.

Tian Yilong followed the army to defend Guangcheng. Although he was not the main general, he took on the important task. Tian Liuhu led the Yi soldiers to guerrilla wars outside the city and harass the Yangzhou army that was sieging the city. After several months, he finally came to rescue the reinforcements. Among the reinforcements, there were unexpected guests.

I won’t talk about the Hulin Army of the King of Xiyang. Although I didn’t expect that the Hulin Army would come to reinforce, Tian Yilong was not surprised. What surprised him was that the three tribes of Lingbiao each sent their own soldiers to the north to assist in the war.

Tian Yilong and Tian Liuhu followed King Nanzheng of Xiyang and had dealt with Feng, Chen and even Ning, so everyone is acquaintance. So Tian Yilong is really impressed by the courage of these three families to give their heads thousands of miles away.

It’s not that Tian Yilong looked down on the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of Feng, Chen and Ning families, but that the opponent’s soldiers would probably not be able to do anything in combat in this plain area. Of course, he would not say it out, but sincerely asked the three to gather together.

Then remind me of what to remind you so that the three families would not travel thousands of miles to the Central Plains to assist in the war, but no one could go back. The scene was too ugly.

"Our Ning family has always fought with the Xiyuan Manchus. Xiyuan is full of mountains and forests, and large flat land is rare, and there are not many horses. They always go to mountain nests when fighting. Now the tribesmen are... they are really worried."

The first one to blame was Ning Changzhen. He was the son of Ning Mengli, the Ning clan Chang, and now he has no official position, so others call him "Ninglangjun". The Ning clan lived in Anzhou for many years and had a long time fighting against the Xiyuan barbarians in the northwest of Anzhou. He was indeed not good at fighting against enemies dominated by cavalry in the plains.

Chen Fozhi and Feng Xuan served as the governor and prefect appointed by the State of Chen. They often deal with Chen's army. They are somewhat familiar with cavalry combat, but such combat experience is limited to the Lingbiao Guangzhou area. When they arrive in the Central Plains, this experience is completely useless.

Facing the endless plains and the cavalry that charged in groups, they were only guilty.

"To be honest, we have been hiking mountains all day long, but we are not afraid of cavalry because it is useless, right? So, we still have to practice." Tian Liuhu began to lead the topic, "There are many ways to practice. Hulin Army is best at it, right? Master Li Jun?"

Li Shimo laughed when he heard this: "Yes, it's easy to practice. The first training for the new recruits from the Hulin Army entered the camp is to train courage. If you scare for a few more days, you won't be afraid of the horse rushing over!"

The so-called "special training" is about the content of the so-called "special training". Tian Zhengyue, a general of the Hulin Army, has probably disclosed to Chen Fozhi and others. The specific arrangement will be handled by Li Shimo because the time is not enough, so special matters must be handled.

"Actually, I'm very relieved. Your clan soldiers must follow the Hulin Army to act together. As long as you follow the orders and form a formation, there is nothing to worry about."

Tian Yilong continued to teach his experience. He also heard from the King of Xiyang that he is now offering Buddha by borrowing flowers. After all, don’t ask Tian Zhengyue to remind the three Lingnan heroes.

"The cavalry moved very quickly. Several battles fought on the ridge table were limited by two legs. On the plain, the range of movement of the enemy cavalry was much wider."

Taking out a map, Tian Yilong first clicked the location of Guangcheng, and then clicked the location of Xuanhu: "Xenghu is about 250 and 60 miles away from Guangcheng. If it is a 3,000-man army marching, how long will it take to get from Xuanhu to Guangcheng?"

"About nine days."

Chen Fozhi, Feng Xuan and Ning Changzhen all gave the same answer. They both led troops to fight, so they knew that under normal circumstances, the daily journey of the army was about thirty miles, and those who were faster could reach forty miles a day.

"What about the cavalry?"

"Uh, about two days?"

Chen Fozhi replied, Feng Xuan nodded silently, Ning Changzhen didn't speak because Ning's family had been fighting with Xiyuan Man in the mountains and forests for many years and had no experience of cavalry raiding for long distances.

"So, in fact, the enemy cavalry outside Xuanhu City only needs one day and night to rush outside Guangcheng."

Ning Changzhen blurted out when he heard this: "So quickly!"

Tian Yilong nodded with a serious expression: "Railing 300 miles a day and night to defeat the enemy is the combat capability of the elite light cavalry. Although not every cavalry can do it, it is not difficult to defeat thousands or even tens of thousands of unexpected armies as long as there are hundreds of cavalrymen."

"That means..." Ning Chang really calculated, and then asked: "Even if our troops are more than thirty miles away from the city, it is very likely that they will be wiped out by an assault by the opponent's cavalry? There are not even people who ran back to report the news?"

"That's right."

"Uh...what should I do?"

"When marching, you must release the cavalry, be alert to the surroundings, and be prepared to form a formation at any time. If the enemy cavalry attacks, quickly form a formation to protect yourself, send out signals, and wait for reinforcements to rescue them."

Tian Yilong is not intimidating the other side. He marches in plains where there are known enemy troops. He must be careful and careful. Who has not made many horses on his side?

Using steps to control a riding horse is almost the same as a rabbit raising an eagle, which is a helpless move.

Ning Changzhen felt that the pressure was getting higher and higher, but she couldn't help but ask: "I wonder how many troops the enemy troops besieged Xuanhu were?"

This time Tian Liuhu replied: "In wars these days, I feel embarrassed to meet people without falsely reporting their troops... Uh... The Hulin Army is exception... Let's put it this way, the enemy army, which is known as more than 100,000 outside Xuanhu City, should include the numbers that have been exaggerated after the young and strong army..."

"In my opinion, the enemy troops besieged Xuanhu should have 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers, and I don't know the elite soldiers. As for the cavalry... Since they were dispatched by themselves and were under the name of "The Imperial Commander", there must be thousands or even tens of thousands of cavalry."

"So many!" Ning Changzhen felt cold sweat on his forehead. He felt that the momentum of hundreds of cavalry rushing forward was already quite large, and thousands of cavalry would only be even more fierce. If tens of thousands of cavalry rushed over, could the infantry fighting with survive?

"No one can tell how many cavalry there are in the hands of the traitor. I think if the number is small, where will the traitor's face be put? Besides, Xuanhu is related to the situation in Henan. As long as the traitor is not stupid, he will inevitably lead a large number of cavalry to go south and shock the prefectures and counties in Henan."

"Of course, if there were really ten thousand cavalry, it would not be possible to gather outside the Xuanhu. No one could stand the chewing of horses. I guess these cavalry were scattered to the surrounding prefectures and counties, and they would eat and gather according to the orders, otherwise the horse manure pulled by these horses would stink the Ru water."

Tian Liuhu's knowledge has long surpassed the "Young Village Master"'s one-third acre of land, although his so-called knowledge can be heard by the King of Xiyang.

The King of Xiyang likes to give examples to satirize those who only want to fight, especially the arrangement of "10,000 cavalry stationed in the town for several months". The King of Xiyang believes that it is completely nonsense, because so many horses can flood the town just by stooling and peeing every day, and Tian Liuhu is deeply impressed by this.

"These cavalry are probably one man and two horses, so they have a wide range of activities. Don't think it's safe in Guangcheng."

This time it was Chen Fozhi and Feng Xuan's turn to be surprised. The cavalrymen who had seen the Chen army were not as rich as one person and two horses. They did not think that Tian Liuhu and Tian Yilong were deliberately talking big and scary.

The Yuchi family has such a powerful cavalry. Now that they surrounded Xuanhu like an iron barrel, how should they rescue the siege? Just going north so carelessly, what is the difference between going to die?
