Looking at the ten thousand cavalry behind Zhao Zilong, he envied all over the world and said, "brother Zilong, these cavalry are good. At first, I thought my 5000 cavalry was OK. When I saw my brother's cavalry, I felt that I was really a little incompetent. "

Zhao Zilong laughs. It took nearly three or four months to train these ten thousand cavalry. Although they are not as good as the elite soldiers under Huang Xu of Yanbei County, they are not far behind. However, he knew that it was impossible for these troops to compare with Zhang Ji's Xiliang cavalry. No matter what, Xiliang cavalry was also a special branch.

When he came to Zongheng, Zhao Zilong held out his hand and said with a smile: "next, I will fight with brother Zongheng on the North shoulder. Although my cavalry looks ok, I just want to carry Zhang Ji's 20000 Xiliang cavalry with these 10000 cavalry, but I'm not sure. I don't know what rules brother Zongheng has?"

"There are some ideas. Let's talk about them in the city!" Zonghengtianxia said with a smile;

the party soon entered Wuyang county. Within the county government, several people sat in two rows. Zonghengtianxia did not sit on the theme, but sat on one side with Zhao Zilong.

"Before brother Zilong came, brother, I had been fighting with Zhang Ji all the time, so I thought of some ways these years. Since last year, I have been making preparations. If there is no Zilong coming, I am going to use the infantry square to fight against Zhang Ji's cavalry." After everyone sat down, he said to Zhao Zilong from all over the world;

"is it hard to carry the pawn?" Zhao Zilong was surprised;

he laughed bitterly and shook his head: "otherwise, what else can I do?"

"My brother also knows that the best way to deal with cavalry is cavalry, but I have only five counties in total, and I don't have any good cavalry generals. It's impossible to deal with Zhang Ji's 20000 Xiliang cavalry without 30000 or 40000 cavalry. How can I afford so many cavalry if sun CE has no more than 10000 cavalry? "

"How many cavalry does Yingxi have now?"

"Five thousand." He stretched out a slap across the world and said, "I've got to hold on to the 5000."

"Five thousand, plus my ten thousand, it's only fifteen thousand. It's not enough." Zhao Zilong murmured;

"that's enough," he affirmed: "Zhang Ji controls more than 20 cities in Nanyang, and 20000 Xiliang cavalry is his foundation, so every time he sends out troops, there are only 10000 cavalry, and there are 10000 cavalry. He must stay in Wancheng. That's why I think his 5000 cavalry and infantry can stop him Because. "

Then he explained his ideas to Zhao Zilong and his party carefully. It turned out that after reaching a consensus with Huangfu Chaobo, Zong Hengtian began to make preparations. Now he has trained a crossbow troop of 5000 people. Although there are only half of the crossbows, the one stone rhubarb crossbow can be used.

In addition, Chen Dao's five thousand white soldiers and his five thousand sword shield soldiers specially trained to protect the crossbow soldiers are his mace against the iron cavalry of Xiliang.

For more than a year, Chen Dao spent the rest of his time training the cooperation of these 10000 soldiers besides training his own wasted soldiers. Now these soldiers have basically been trained. Without Zhao Zilong's joint proposal, the whole world would have been ready to launch an attack on duyang in August and September. This time, he would not have let them out if he was ready to occupy duyang .

Zhao Zilong understood the meaning of Zongheng world. He wanted to exchange the 5000 sword shield soldiers for Zhang Ji's Xiliang cavalry. Now that Zhang Ji could lose five to six thousand cavalry, Zhang Ji would have to be much more cautious in the war. With the change of the situation, Zongheng world would be blocked up, and his strength would be even higher.

After thinking about it, Zhao Zilong suddenly said: "since the two families are united, we can't only consume brother zongzong's infantry. In this way, I don't have much to spend on infantry. I send 5000 players of Zilong club to fight with brother Zong's 5000 sword shield soldiers. Although these players are not as powerful as ordinary infantry, they are the best for cannon fodder 。”

With 5000 players in the front to block the attack of a wave of cavalry, the loss of the infantry behind can be reduced by almost half, and the longer the infantry square can hold the Xiliang cavalry, the more obvious the advantage will be when the cavalry behind takes part in the battle.

"Well, that's great. With the help of 5000 players, my infantry square array can last longer. You know, the crossbow soldiers can only support for more than ten minutes, and tens of thousands of crossbows and arrows can be launched alone. Hehe, in this way, even if Zhang Ji sends 10000 cavalry, we are sure to keep most of them. If the operation is good, we will take all of them What remains is not impossible. "

"Yes, if we can leave ten thousand of Zhang Ji's Xiliang cavalry, we will have more space to move with the remaining ten thousand."

"Well, well, let's discuss how to arrange it..."

……

Just when zonghengtian and Zhao Zilong led their respective subordinates to discuss how to deal with Zhang Ji's Xiliang cavalry, Huangfu Chaobo had already arrived in Fushi city of Shangjun.After several months of adjustment, the elite cavalry of the Tang army had been fully replenished. Baimayi and Xiliang cavalry continued to return to their respective bases. The Tujia cavalry returned to Luoyang, while Huben cavalry was sent to Lu Su by Huangfu Chaobo to face the tiger and leopard cavalry of Qi. Although there was still some gap between the two, the total number of tiger and leopard cavalry was only 20000, and Cao Cao could not have all of them Not Shanyang County, so 10000 Huben cavalry and 5000 ordinary cavalry of Jiyin county should be able to cope.

At this time, Tian Yu of Shangjun also sent people to send back the news that all the soldiers of Yingyang camp had been replenished, and all the ten thousand Hun cavalry of Liu Bao had been recruited. After discussing with Guo Jia, Huangfu Chaobo felt that the time was ripe to move to the north of Shangjun, so Huangfu Chaobo led the guards to Shangjun. This time, he was accompanied by Guo Jia Besides, there was Fazheng. After all, he spent several years in Shangjun, while pangtong was left in Luoyang.

At this time, the army gathered in the camp outside the city of Fushi. Besides the 25000 troops of Yingyang army, all the 42000 guards of Huangfu Chaobo arrived here. According to Huangfu Chaobo's plan, he plans to occupy all the areas in the jiziguan of the Yellow River before winter this year. Next year, he will consider sending troops to merge with the state.
