On the banquet, toasts and toasts crisscrossing, three rounds of wine and five flavors of food. Yuan Shao and laodun both drank red, especially in luodun. Although he was a member of Wuhuan, his diet and banquet were of the first class among Wuhuan people, but they were far from the exquisite food of Central Plains.
Especially the liquor, yuan Shaote took out the wine that had been stored for decades. The fragrance of the wine only made his eyes straight and he became addicted to alcohol.
"Hey, Yuan Gong, this wine is good, it's really good..." he laughed.
Yuan Shao Zui said with a smile: "ha ha, since Shan Yu likes it, there is still something in Yecheng. How about I order someone to give it to Shan Yu 20 altar?"
"Is that true?" he said
"It's a deal."
"Thank you very much." He laughed.
Yuan Shao hehe smile, drunk way: "single in drunk, come to send Shan Yu back."
Outside the door, several warriors came in, and were escorted out by general Wu Huan, such as Su Puyan and Wu Yan.
"Ha ha..."
just a short time ago, Yuan Shao, who was still drunk just now, suddenly wakes up and looks as usual. Where is there a trace of drunkenness?
"Was father just pretending to be drunk?"
Yuan Tan, the eldest son of Yuan Shao, was surprised after seeing this.
"Hehe, Xiansi, you have a lot to learn." Yuan Shao said with a smile: "how can a man who is the master drink freely? When you keep sober at all times and don't delay major events, the aristocrats of the Shang Dynasty drink a lot of wine, but when Zhou dies, you should take warning. "
"The child has been taught." Yuan Tan bowed his head.
Yuan Shao stood up and looked at all the civil and military officials around him. He was elated and said in a loud voice, "please help me to break down the Xiliang army and achieve the cause of kingcraft. Please."
All civil and military officials got up one after another, clasped fists and said, "we will certainly serve the Lord and achieve the cause of kingcraft."
"OK, ha ha ha!"
Outside the city, in the Liangzhou army barracks.
Step on it!
Thousands of iron horses galloped in, and the wind blew into the barracks. Thousands of people surrounded Liu Ye and said on horseback, "call on all generals for discussion."
Liu Ye was the first to rush to the big tent of the Chinese army. He jumped off his horse's back and rushed in. Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Zhao Yun, Guan Hai and other generals followed him around and walked into the big tent of the Chinese army with high spirit.
Soon after, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Liu Ye, Xu Huang and other military Chinese soldiers came in one after another, found their seats and sat down.
"See the general!"
"You are welcome." Liu Ye waved his hand, and then said, "the tens of thousands of Wuhuan cavalry led by doudun have arrived. Yuan Shao has been guarding Yecheng for several months. He must have been impatient. The decisive battle should be in recent days."
Speaking of this, Liu Ye pauses for a moment and looks at the generals around him.
After hearing the news, the generals around him did not show any fear. Instead, they looked excited and ready to fight the enemy. Liu Ye nodded his head with satisfaction.
"The general led the cavalry to run away secretly a few days ago. I think he has a strategy to defeat the enemy?" Jia Xu was the first to ask.
"Not bad!" Liu Ye said bluntly: "the reason why the training was held in secret a few days ago is precisely because he was worried about yuan Jun's meticulous work to obtain the secrets of our army and made corresponding countermeasures. Now that the war is just around the corner, it can be said. "
"What is the general's strategy for breaking the enemy?" Guo Jia said with a smile: "a few days ago, Wenhe and I had more speculations. I also asked the general to solve our doubts."
"Ha ha." Liu Ye said with a smile: "Wenhe and fengxiao know that Jia's riding gear is equipped?"
"Armour and riding gear?" With a frown on their brows, Guo Jia said slowly, "is it that when Emperor Xiaoling was on a military parade in Pingle temple in the past, people and horses all focused on armour, which was as powerful as mountains?"
"Not bad." Liu Ye nodded: "the equipment of armour riding equipment is all in the arsenal of Jinyong city in Luoyang, and has been sent to our army to form an army called negative Yue army. The general's intention is to defeat Yuan Shao and tuodun with the power of destroying the weak and destroying the enemy
"But..." Jia Xu worried: "although the armour riding equipment looks really powerful, even when the spirit emperor was founded, it was not suitable for the battlefield. Besides, a mere 1000 armour riding equipment could wipe out tens of thousands of troops?"
Jia Xu's worry is justified, because before the Wei, Jin, southern and Northern Dynasties, there were no heavy cavalry in China, only huge and heavy chariots.
Although the chariot soldiers are brave in collision and have both men and horses, because the chariots are very heavy, the infantry can avoid the past as long as they are prepared, let alone light cavalry.
Because of this, the Warring States period, represented by King Zhao Wuling riding and shooting in Hu Fu, various countries abandoned chariots and turned to develop light cavalry. Especially in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty mobilized the national strength to build more than 100000 iron cavalry with the wealth accumulated by the rule of Wenjing, and the Huns could not be the vanguard.
However, Liu Ye is different from Jia Xu. He has witnessed the power of heavy cavalry. Although it costs a lot, it is definitely worth using.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Wen he." Ma Chao, commander-in-chief of the negative Yue army, stood up, clasped his fists and said: "the last general and a cadre of generals have seen with their own eyes that the power of armour and riding equipment can be described as sweeping the world, and the world can not dare to be its front.""All right..." Jia Xu frowned: "since the general has decided, Xu will have to see the power of this armour riding gear by himself tomorrow."
"Well, since you don't have any opinions, we'll take the negative Yue army as the vanguard in the decisive battle, and then we'll take the light cavalry and infantry to cover up and kill them."
"General, I have a word." Zhao Yun suddenly stepped out.
"Oh, Zilong?" Liu Ye smiles at Zhao Yun, and then introduces many civil and military personnel: "Zilong is a Qingqi general under the command of Gongsun Zan's Youzhou army. He fights with Wuhuan people all year round. You can listen to him."
Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said: "the last general fought with the Wuhuan people last month, and organized young and strong people. At the time of the war, there were many Wuhuan people, but there were few cavalry in Youzhou. Thanks to the hard work of young people, they were able to defeat them. When the people of Wuhuan fled for their lives, they threw them out with wooden spears in their hands. They were very strong and wore several names of Wuhuan people with one shot. "
"The last general thought that Wuhuan soldiers were numerous. Could they use this weapon to assist the bow and crossbow, rely on resisting horses and antlers, imitate the tactics of Li Ling and Qu Yi, rub their sharpness, and then attack them with armour and riding gear?"
"How to shoot?" Liu Ye's eyes lit up and nodded with a smile: "good, very good, this method can be used."
In the Qin and Han Dynasties, the long-range attack method was mostly bow and crossbow, but the shooting method was rarely used. The two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. The crossbow has a long range, but its lethality is not as good as that of a spear. Although the range of the catapult is relatively close, it is very powerful. The Roman Legion used this method.
"Give me orders!" Liu Ye ordered: "inform the whole army to cut down trees and cut wood into guns. When they go to war tomorrow, let yuan Jun have a taste of it."
