Chapter 172

At the level six cavalry camp in Xiacheng, a hundred high-level cavalry troops were finally trained, and they lined up on the plain.

This is the sixth order cavalry of Huamulan, the Iron Eagle Scouts of Northern Wei Dynasty.

In order to build a cavalry of 100 people, Chu Tian invested nearly 10000 taels of silver.

There are still a hundred iron hawk scouts who are recruited later and have not finished training.

One hawk for every hundred iron hawk scouts.

The Warhawk is a complete stranger to Chu Tian.

A Warhawk has become the pet of general Hua Mulan.

This is a black Warhawk, with bright eyes. Its function is similar to the military carrier pigeon, and has a certain detection ability.

Hua Mulan stroked her wings, and seemed to be very fond of the Warhawk.

With a Warhawk to help detect, Hua Mulan's cavalry has a broader vision. In this way, she can better avoid the enemy's Trooper during the surprise attack.

The existence of the Warhawk increased Hua Mulan's cavalry value by at least 20%.

"Do you want to touch it, my lord?"

Hua Mulan asked.

Soon Chutian understood what she meant.

The Warhawk's wings feel good, but they don't seem to like the touch of Chu Tian very much. They only like Hua Mulan and Iron Eagle scouts.

Chu Tian checks the attributes of the Warhawk.

[name]: Warhawk

[effect]: can be used to transmit notes; can understand the master's simple commands and respond.

Description: it is said that this is an eagle that was inspired by hawk hunting culture and specially trained to assist in their own investigation.

[restriction]: only obey the orders of general Hua Mulan and Tieying scouts.

Chu Tian was surprised to see the ability of the Warhawk.

Iron hawk scouts are six level cavalry. Their combat effectiveness is not strong, but their investigation ability is enlarged because they have battle eagles.

In the future, this cavalry is best used to detect and sneak attacks on the enemy from behind.

Among all the high-level cavalry, Hua Mulan's 100 Iron Eagle scouts were the first to be recruited, followed by Li Guang's 200 Western Han Dynasty archers, Xue Rengui's 200 elite Tang Dynasty archers, and finally Hua Mulan's second team of Iron Eagle scouts.

This group of high-level cavalry was needed by Chu Tian in the expedition against Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui may know that Chutian has a Xiliu camp and a Shesheng camp, but he does not know that Chutian has recruited a number of high-level cavalry.

This is Chu Tian's card.

Iron Eagle scouts are equipped with Tang Dao, short spear, angle bow and saddle forged by shangbi town.

The expensive horse name is not suitable for the light Iron Eagle scouts, which are the weapons of heavy cavalry and military generals.

The horses used by iron hawk scouts are gold grade horses purchased from Yuyang, Youzhou, entrusted by the horse merchants in summer. Their speed and endurance are medium. Medium is good, ordinary horses and silver class horses are inferior.

After waiting for a few days, Xue Rengui and Li Guang's cavalry were also recruited. In addition to Hua Mulan's second Iron Eagle scouts, Xiacheng had 500 high-level cavalry and 230 heavy cavalry, which became two powerful trumps in Chu Tian's hands.

In Dong'an County, Sun Kang, one of the thieves in Mount Tai, received a letter from his brother-in-law, sun Guan, and hesitated.

Chu Tian appointed himself Kaiyang order and riding Duwei to replace Zang ba. He asked him to send Mount Tai bandits from Dong'an County to Yangdu county and join forces with Zhou Yafu to attack Wu Sangui, who was stationed in Juxian County.

Sun Kang did not know whether Chu Tian would take this opportunity to take away his military power and was in a dilemma.

But he had to obey this order, otherwise Chu Tian might be angry and attack him.

Finally, Sun Kang decided to send troops.

as like as two peas in Dongguan County, Yin Li, Wu Dun, the two Taishan thieves react exactly like Sun Kang, very careful in response to Chu's call. Wu Dun, in particular, was defeated by the 3000 led by Xia Tianliang with 15000 troops last time. He was afraid of Xiacheng like a tiger, so he immediately counted the troops and assembled in xiangyangdu county.

The three Taishan bandits owned the territory of three counties, and Chu Tian always coveted their territory. If the territory of Sun Kang, Yin Li and Wu Dun were annexed, Chu Tian's territory could be expanded from two counties to five counties.

Dong'an County, Dongguan county and Qiu county are smaller than Kaiyang County in scale, and there are still some 340000 people in one county.

After annexing the Mount Tai bandits, Chu Tian was a great Lord with a population of two million.

Three Mountain Tai bandits each sent 10000 people, a total of 30000 people, a mighty March to Yangdu county.

Zang Ba and sun Guan report to Chu Tian. They have successfully persuaded the three Taishan thieves to send troops to respond to the military action of Chu Tian's expedition against Wu Sangui.

You have done a good job. You two, go out with me. "

Chu Tian reexamined the loyalty of Zang Ba and sun Guan. Their loyalty had reached 80 and there was basically no possibility of mutiny.

Unless Chutian is defeated by Wu Sangui, their loyalty will decline.

The defeat of the Lord is a very serious matter. His prestige will be greatly damaged, and the courtiers are prone to be ambivalent."Yes

Zang Ba and sun Guan were finally regarded as his official subordinates by Chu Tian. This time, they were dispatched as military generals.

"This is the list of the expeditions. Please have a look at it."

Fang Xuanling presented the list of the expedition against Wu Sangui to Chu Tian.

A total of four troops formed a coalition to attack Wu Sangui.

Zhou Yafu, XueYue City, Taishan bandits in Yangdu City, as well as the main force of Xiacheng led by Chutian. About 50000 troops were assembled, of which 30000 were the Taishan army led by Yin Li, Sun Kang and Wu dun.

Mount Tai bandits lack combat effectiveness and are not Wu Sangui's opponents, but they can confuse Wu Sangui and make Wu Sangui unable to judge where the main force of Chutian is.

"Go to Yangdu and meet Zhou Yafu."

Chutian gathered troops outside the city of Xiacheng, where hundreds of banners were hunting in the north wind. With the expansion of Chutian's army, the number of battle flags used increased naturally.

More than 8000 troops and horses gathered outside the city.

Huamulan square has 100 Iron Eagle scouts and 2000 light cavalry.

Li Guangfang array has 200 archers and 500 light cavalry in the Western Han Dynasty.

There are 200 elite archers, 500 light cavalry and 230 heavy cavalry in Xue Rengui square array.

The reason why Hua Mulan was given more light cavalry was that Chu Tian needed Hua Mulan to use warhawks for surprise attack.

Xu Sheng replaced Li Guang as Chu Tian's Ministry, commanding the sound shooting camp of Chu Tian's 2000 people. Xu Sheng is a water general, but also a bow general, can barely play the effect of shooting sound camp.

Chutian's own abilities and characteristics are not strong enough. If one day Chu Tian had Li Shimin's four-dimensional ability, Chu Tian would certainly be in charge of the shooting sound camp in person. There was no need to find a military general with historical facts as his deputy general.

Then Zang Ba and sun Guan led the 3000 step bowmen to battle, and sun Guan led 500 people as the vanguard.

Xiacheng sent a small number of light infantry, even less than the number of cavalry, because light infantry were concentrated in the hands of Zhou Yafu in Yangdu county. As long as he joins Zhou Yafu, Chutian will have a large number of light infantry to use.

Thirty thousand Mount Tai bandits are mainly archers, and they are not worried about the use of ordinary archers.

Low level archers are always cannon fodder troops, and cavalry are masters. Unless they are heavy infantry, they are qualified to compete with cavalry masters.

"Hua Mulan and Li Guang, you two lead the cavalry to Hedong. Be careful."

Chu Tian specially recruited Hua Mulan and Li Guang to command them.

"At the end of the year, we will certainly live up to our mission."

Hua Mulan and Li Guang should take over at the same time.

The two of them, with 2800 cavalry, crossed the Yi River and arrived at the nine towns of Hedong, which had been occupied by Zhou Yafu before.

Speaking of it, Zhou Yafu, who was silent, was the general who captured the most towns under Chu Tian's command. After Chu Tian won a major battle, he basically handed over to Zhou Yafu to deal with the aftermath and completely pacify all villages and towns.

Hua Mulan and Li Guang left the team, and Chu Tian took more than 5000 people north to join Zhou Yafu and XueYue.

Chu Tian directly controlled a small number of troops, but they were elite, and the ranks of military generals were probably the most luxurious in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In Lingcheng, Juxian County, Wu Sangui learned that Chu Tian had called four armies to attack him, and immediately sent troops to set up defense along the Yihe River.

As long as Chu Tian's troops could not cross the river, Wu Sangui could guarantee that Chu Tian could not destroy him.

"Please come with me to resist the enemy."

Wu Sangui was worried that Qi Xiaobai would stay in Lingcheng, so he abducted him to the Yihe River to garrison his troops and confront Zhou Yafu on the other side of the river.

He can already see the flag of Xiacheng on the other side of the river. The flag of Xiacheng is very simple. There is only a word "Xia" in Xiaozhuan, which makes Wu Sangui feel scared.

Every time he confronts Chu Tian, he will be defeated. Wu Sangui has a shadow in his heart.

On the other side of the river are Zhou Yafu's 8000 people, of whom 2000 are xiliuying. They also patrol along the river to avoid being attacked by Wu Sangui.

Both of them were famous generals, carefully testing each other.

Zhou Yafu is waiting for other troops to arrive.

The first to arrive were the three troops of Mount Tai bandits.

Thirty thousand thieves from Mount Tai gathered in Yangdu County, where they met Zhou Yafu, who served as a county captain.

Zhou Yafu was very strict in running the army and everything was in good order. Sun Kang, Yin Li and Wu Dun felt uncomfortable when they came to Zhou Yafu's army.

Zhou Yafu's style of running the army is incompatible with the style of the Taishan bandits, which is the gap between the regular army and the bandits.

"Please stop the three men."

The guards in Zhou Yafu's barracks stopped dozens of relatives carried by the three men.

Sun Kang, Yin Li and Wu Dun looked at each other and seemed to have some doubts about whether to step into Zhou Yafu's barracks. They were worried that Chu Tian, under the banner of attacking Wu Sangui, summoned them here, set up a Hongmen banquet, killed them together, and then seized their military power.

Their intelligence is not high, but they are not fools.In the end, the three chose to believe Zang Ba and sun Guan, believing that Chu Tian would not use such means to kill them. Sun Kang was more at ease because his younger brother, sun Guan, had already taken refuge in Chu Tian. If Chu Tian killed him for no reason, sun Guan would surely betray him.

The three men walked into Zhou Yafu's camp and saw two thousand elite soldiers in Xiliu camp practicing.

In the cold winter, the soldiers of the 2000 Xiliu camp were divided into two teams. One team practiced bows and crossbows, and the other practiced long halberd shields. Their military appearance was neat and their morale was high.

The three thieves of Mount Tai were afraid to see the real elite of Xiacheng.

It is estimated that none of their ten thousand Mount Tai bandits are rivals of the 2000 willow camp.

"The troops that defeated me that day were only 3000 recruits. If she had 3000 such troops in her hands at that time, why use a stratagem to cover up and kill them directly? I will surely be defeated. "

Wu Dun was more and more frightened when he saw Xiliu camp.

Zhou Yafu was looking at the map in the camp. When he saw the arrival of three Mount Tai thieves, he just said calmly, "three, please lead your troops to stay by the river, and beat out all your banners and flags for tens of miles to confuse Wu Sangui. As for grain, it will be supplied by Yangdu county. I hope that during the war, your troops will not plunder the civilians in Yangdu County, otherwise they will be dealt with according to the military law. Can you understand? "

"Understand, understand."

The three Taishan thieves agreed to come down.

According to Zhou Yafu's character, he is not joking with them. Once the Taishan bandits rob civilians, Zhou Yafu is likely to put them all to death.

Military law is merciless.

Thirty thousand Mountain Tai bandits set up camp by the river. According to Zhou Yafu's command, they spread for tens of miles and covered the air with banners.

From time to time, Zhou Yafu's Xiliu camp exchanged defense with the Mount Tai bandits. Wu Sangui in the opposite side was disturbed. It was impossible to determine which position Zhou Yafu's main force was.

As a result, Wu Sangui had a good example. He also made his subordinates line up for dozens of miles. He took professional soldiers to hide among them and fought against Zhou Yafu.

Mount Tai bandits and Zhou Yafu are waiting for the arrival of Chu Tian. During this period, XueYue, with 4000 people to support, joined forces with Zhou Yafu and became more powerful.

Finally, the main force of Chutian's summer city arrived, and Zhou Yafu, XueYue, Sun Kang, Yin Li and Wu Dun came out to welcome them.

This is the first time that Sun Kang, Yin Li and Wu dun have seen Chu Tian for the first time. Zang Ba, their original leader, has become the Ministry of Chu Tian, which means Chu Tian is the new leader of Mount Tai bandits.

In order to show his force to the Mountain Tai bandits, Chu Tian ordered Xue Rengui to lead 200 Tang Dynasty archers and 230 heavy cavalry at the front of the army.

High headed horse, armored horse armor, high momentum, awe inspiring Mount Tai bandits!

Sure enough, Sun Kang, Yin Li, Wu Dun and other Mountain Tai bandits were terrified when they saw these two elite cavalry.

If the Chinese army were attacked by such a cavalry, the 30000 strong Mount Tai bandits might collapse immediately.

It also shows the existence of high-level cavalry and heavy cavalry. Without huge financial resources, we can't afford such a good cavalry!

The elite cavalry led by Xue Rengui gave Mount Tai a powerful attack. When the Shesheng camp, the exclusive arm of Chutian, arrived, everyone had a long bow on his back, which was as powerful as a rainbow.

In the eyes of low-level arms, the soldiers of shooting sound camp are marksmen.

Sun Kang, Yin Li and Wu Dun asked Chu Tian to meet with him.

The logic of Mount Tai bandits is very simple. Whoever has a big fist has a big say.

They regard Chu Tian as the new leader of Mount Tai bandits.

So Chu Tian had another title of the leader of the Taishan bandits after a number of titles such as the first lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Tian Khan, Kaiyang Ling (self appointed), and qiduwei (self appointed).

Chu Tian is also helpless. Except for Chang Chen, who was killed by Wu Sangui, all the other Mountain Tai thieves seem to have to submit to him. The title of the leader of Mount Tai bandits is worthy of the name.
