Your fiefdom gains one soldier every second, what should you do, Queen Mother?

Chapter 58: Zhao cavalry shows their prowess for the first time!

The Hu soldiers looked at the corpses in front of them, their faces ashen.

General Hu Jiamu, who was full of energy just now, was killed in the blink of an eye?

Tu Bilie also had a dazed look on his face. After a long while, he finally reacted.

"What are you still standing there for? Go ahead and kill him!"

Tu Bilie was so anxious that his face turned red, and the Hu soldiers then rushed towards Ying Xuanze with their swords raised.

But in the short time when the Hu soldiers were frozen, the Wei Wu soldiers had already arrived and protected their lord behind them.

Ever since the Northern Hu people learned that there were Han people in the South, the feud between the two ethnic groups has lasted for hundreds of years.

As the saying goes, enemies are always jealous of each other. When the Hu soldiers ran into the Wei soldiers, they wanted to cut the Han people into pieces with their knives.

"Ah!" screams were heard.

The first batch of Hu soldiers who ran into the Wei Wuzu were ruthlessly trampled to pieces by the Wei Wuzu, who pierced their bodies with the iron spears in their hands.

"Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!"

The Wei Wu soldiers advanced in an orderly manner, blocking wave after wave of attacks from the Hu soldiers.

After several attacks were blocked, Tu Bilie realized the power of this army.

The fighting power of the Hu people is very strong, far stronger than the Daying army. This is why the Chanyu asked him and Kubi Yan to bring out only 20,000 troops.

But the army under the command of Marquis Zhenxi was like a war machine. Even if some of them were injured, they would still draw their swords and move forward.

Daying, when did you have such a strong army?

Even the Tiger Guards back then couldn’t do it!

The vanguard of the Hu people fell wave after wave like wheat. Tu Bilie realized that if this continued, all 10,000 soldiers would be buried with them.

"Retreat! Go back to Jiarong Pass! Go back to Jiarong Pass!" Tu Bilie shouted loudly.

At this time, the Hu cavalry moved, and under the command of their respective generals, they began to press forward.

Cavalry is the strongest type of troops in land warfare, and even the Wei Wuzu have to be careful when dealing with them.

Ying Xuanze immediately ordered a change in formation, and the Wei Wuzu entered a defensive formation.

But the Hu cavalry were not coming towards them. They lined up in front of the retreating Hu army, covering the retreat of their own army.

"Want to escape?" Ying Xuanze raised his eyebrows and said sternly, "Arrow the arrow!"

As soon as he finished speaking, some Wei Wu soldiers put down the iron swords in their hands and took off the bows and arrows on their backs.

A moment later, a rain of arrows fell in the direction of the Hu people's retreat, killing many Hu soldiers in an instant.

"My Lord! The end is coming!"

A shout came from behind. Ying Xuanze turned around and saw Huo Qubing leading two thousand cavalrymen to his side.

Ying Xuanze was overjoyed, Huo Qubing came at the right time!

Huo Qubing led the cavalry forward rapidly. With the talent of Shooting the Heavenly Wolf, the cavalry army based on the Zhao cavalry template quickly caught up with the Hu soldiers in front.

The Hu cavalry who were covering the retreating army heard the sound of horse hooves from behind. They all looked back, then their faces changed drastically and their bodies slowly cooled down.

Cavalry! How could Daying's cavalry arrive so quickly?

Huo Qubing waved his hand, and the Zhao cavalrymen took out their bows and arrows, and then shot arrows at the Hu soldiers while riding their horses.

Horse riding and archery, this is the fundamental reason why the Zhao cavalry was able to dominate the Warring States Period!

Whether they were the Huns or the Hu people, they grew up on horseback, so they could shoot arrows while riding.

This was something the Han people could not do. Later, King Wuling of Zhao carried out reforms. He asked the Zhao cavalry to learn from the Huns. After several years of training, the Zhao cavalry became world-famous.

Therefore, when these retreating Hu people saw that these Han cavalrymen could also ride and shoot, they were confused.

The Han cavalry in the past didn't know how to ride and shoot? Where did they learn it?

The sudden appearance of Huo Qubing and the Zhao cavalry was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of these Hu people.

The Hu people's retreat began to become disorganized, and some Hu cavalry realized that they had to eliminate the enemies behind them.

However, just when they were about to turn around and snipe, Huo Qubing had already led his team to kill them.

So fast!

These were the last words the Hu cavalryman said in his heart before he died.

In an instant, Ying Xuanze saw hundreds of corpses on the ground.

Moreover, as Huo Qubing continued to move forward, the losses of the Hu cavalry became increasingly greater.

But Huo Qubing suddenly pulled the reins to stop his horse, and under his order, the Zhao cavalry also stopped chasing.

"Don't chase the desperate enemy! Return to camp!" Huo Qubing glanced at the direction where the Hu people left, and then led two thousand cavalrymen back to Ying Xuanze.

"My lord, I have returned with my troops and have fulfilled my mission!" Huo Qubing said with a fist salute.

"Okay, let's go back to the city and discuss how to break through the barrier." Ying Xuanze nodded.

At present, the Hu people have retreated into Jiarong Pass. If he attacks forcefully at this moment, the Hu people will have to fight to the death to defend the city, which will definitely be disadvantageous to him.

In this battle, we need to use wisdom and strategy.

After returning to Wancheng, he asked his subordinates to go to the city to buy topographic maps of the surrounding areas.

After buying the map, he and Huo Qubing discussed countermeasures together in the house.

......

"My lord, we don't have siege equipment, and the Hu people's military strength far exceeds ours. It will be difficult to attack by force." Huo Qubing said in a deep voice.

"The reason why these 20,000 Hu troops were able to break into Jiarong Pass must be because the Hu people had been silent for too long and the commander of Jiarong Pass was careless." Ying Xuanze frowned.

"It's true that it's difficult for us to attack by force, but that doesn't mean we can't break through." After saying that, he pointed to a river on the map.

"As far as I know, the water source of Jiarong Pass comes from a well inside the pass."

"And that well water is connected to this river." When he said this, Ying Xuanze curled the corners of his mouth.

Huo Qubing immediately understood what Ying Xuanze meant. He clasped his fists and said, "My Lord is wise. I will send people to buy the laxatives from all the major pharmacies in the city."

"Okay, but don't rush to use the medicine. Send out 3,000 cavalry tomorrow and shoot arrows in the direction of Jiarong Pass from a distance."

Huo Qubing was stunned. He asked in confusion: "Why is this happening? Isn't this a waste of our arrows?"

"Just do as I say. As for the arrows, General Huo, don't worry." Ying Xuanze smiled with his eyes narrowed.

Waste of arrows? He had plenty of points in his hand, which could be exchanged for batches of arrows.

If he wanted, he could have the top of Jiarong Pass filled with arrows.

Huo Qubing took the order and left. Ying Xuanze called another subordinate and asked him to take some Wei Wuzu to the mountain to cut trees.

He wanted to use these cut down trees to block the river, so that the medicine could be injected into the river to ensure its effectiveness.

The next morning, Ying Xuanze spent 100,000 points and exchanged a total of 20,000 arrows and gave them to Huo Qubing.

Although he didn't know where his master got these arrows from, Huo Qubing still followed the order and led 3,000 cavalry to Jiarong Pass.

When the army was still some distance away from Jiarong Pass, Huo Qubing ordered it to stop.

This action also alarmed the Hu soldiers in Jiarong Pass, and Tu Bilie ordered all archers to climb to the top of the city wall.

The two armies, separated by a distance of several hundred meters, watched each other.
