Chapter 955 Ma Chao’s Ambition (Second Update)

Xianyang.

At this moment, an army of 250,000 had gathered. Among them, there were 170,000 cavalry and only 80,000 infantry. From the proportion of this cavalry, infantry, you can see the huge advantages of the northern Wei, Qin and Liang in cavalry.

Especially this army was just Qin and Liang as the main force, and Wei was just sending Cao Hong's side troops. Cao Wei still had more than 100,000 cavalry.

On the side of cavalry, the State of Chu really couldn't catch up with the north even if it was a horse.

The 250,000 army, and because 170,000 were cavalry, all three parties were confident, no matter where Kou Feng came from, whether it was Xigu or Ziwugu.

They were able to strike quickly and perform head-on strikes.

This is strength and self-confidence. If you don’t come out, it’s just that. If you come out, you will definitely have a bright future.

On this day, in an open space outside the city, Ma Chao, Yan Xing, Cao Hong and others led their own soldiers to conduct training.

It is said that it is training, but it is actually just shooting archery targets. The most important thing is to enhance mutual feelings and trust. After all, everyone knows that they should despise Chu in strategic terms.

The forces of the three countries combined were enough to overwhelm Chu. However, they had to be cautious in tactical terms, because if any problems arise between the three parties, the Chu State would in turn suppress them.

It is impossible for Ma Teng, Han Sui and Cao Cao to sit down and talk together. So Ma Teng's eldest son Ma Chao, Han Sui's son-in-law Yan Xing, and Cao Cao's confidant Cao Hong gathered together to discuss and train.

"Tick tick." Amid the crisp sound of horse hooves, a fast horse was in a straight line, and next to it were five archery targets standing about fifty steps away.

The knight immediately started shooting archery, and during the ride, he shot five arrows in a row.

"Swoosh swish swish."

"Bang bang bang."

Every arrow hit the bull's eye. This skill, which is a magical skill, immediately attracted cheers.

"Meng Qi is really good at shooting." Cao Hong said first.

"By archery theory, Meng Qi, the middle of the northwest, was the emperor." Yan Xing also showed a look of admiration in his eyes and said.

The extremely heroic knight on the horse is the son of Ma Teng, a famous Western Liang general, Ma Chao. He is the bravest general of the northwest and able to intimidate the four sides.

"Haha, it's just a path."

At this time, Ma Chao drove the war horse to Cao Hong, Yan Xing and the others, and said modestly when he heard this. But his eyes were filled with a sense of pride.

Xiliang Jin Ma Chao has this pride.

In the eyes of Cao Hong and Yan Xing, they didn't feel anything about this pride. As soon as Ma Chao had the capital to be proud, they really admired Ma Chao.

Even Yan Xing, this man who almost attacked Ma Chao to death during the dispute between Ma Teng and Han Sui.

"According to the intelligence master, Kou Feng has already dispatched his army to Hanzhong. He just didn't know whether it was from the Xiegu Road or the Ziwu Valley Road to Qinchuan."

After a while, Yan Xing suddenly remembered the current situation and said.

"Whether it is the Xigu Road or Ziwu Valley Road are all prepared? Ma Kuang is guarding the Qi County in the other side of the Xigu Road. General Cao sent the general to guard the Qi County in Chang'an, the largest city near Ziwu Valley Road. No matter which road the Chu army leaves, don't easily want to gain a foothold in the Central Plains. Moreover, Ma Chao said proudly when he heard this, paused, and said, "Besides, we have already prepared a lot of food in Chang'an. If Kou Feng goes out and attacks one of the two places, we can go to the battle quickly without bringing food."

"At that time, let the Chu army taste the power of our northern cavalry."

Finally, Ma Chao faced the south and was very arrogant.

"This is a fact. The cavalry in the north is strong, and there are many plains in the northwest. If the Chu army leaves the mountains and forests, they may be like sheep. However, there is one thing that must be paid attention to. They have a cavalry that cannot be underestimated." Cao Hong was very impressed when he heard this, but he also had concerns, so he reminded him.

At that time, the State of Wei also despised the cavalry of Chu. He was led by Zhao Yun to attack near Xudu by a cavalry established in a short period of time. Zhu Ling's elite cavalry fought, but was killed instead.

Later, Zhao Yun even seized a horse farm outside Xudu City. In that battle, not only did Wei lose face, but also hundreds of thousands of war horses, but also enhanced the war horse reserves of Chu.

It can be regarded as a great humiliation.

Cao Cao did not promote much about what happened back then. However, later, the three kingdoms of Qin, Liang and Wei formed an alliance, and Cao Cao even sent some civil officials to help, and sincerely supported Qin. Liang was strong to resist the aggressive Chu.

Naturally, this information was spread to Qin and Liang.

Therefore, Ma Chao also knew about this. Hearing this, he nodded and said cautiously: "Don't worry, General Cao, I know what's going on."

However, Ma Chao couldn't help asking: "What's going on? How can a cavalry that was only established in a short period of time be able to fight against your elite cavalry? And it can also use sprinting. That kind of technology is excellent even among the Xiliang cavalry."

Ma Chao's doubts attracted Yan Xing's attention, and he also looked at Cao Hong, hoping to understand the truth.

"This." Cao Hong pondered for a moment when he heard this, then sighed: "We didn't understand what was going on. We just found that some dead war horses had their legs cut off. We can only guess that Zhao Yun's cavalry's quick success may be related to horse legs."

At that time, what Zhao Yun had happened was a huge deterrent force for Cao Wei. The upper class of Cao Wei felt worried, even feared and afraid of the rapid success of cavalry.

This gave rise to a strong feeling of taking it for himself. Cao Cao launched an investigation into this, but found nothing. The only strange thing was that the horse that died on the battlefield was cut off its legs.

Because Kou Feng was good at Mohist techniques, Cao Cao and others could only guess what article he did on the horse's legs. But even today, there was no real interpretation.

Cao Hong's words made the atmosphere silent. Everyone felt that the Chu State was rising so quickly. The core secret was that Kou Feng might be a descendant of the Mo family. He had technology that everyone could not imagine.

Cavalry is its trump card.

"Perhaps, this war is also our opportunity." After a long silence, Ma Chao suddenly said.

"Oh, what does Meng Qi mean?" Cao Hong raised his head and looked at Ma Chao in surprise when he heard this.

Yan Xing also showed an interesting look.

"The so-called Mohist school is just because of the idea of ​​creating a sharp weapon. But it cannot prevent us from copying. The Chu sword of the State of Chu was copied by Cao Gong and became the Wei sword, which has spread throughout the northwest. This is a big example." Ma Chao said with great excitement flashing in his eyes.

"So that's it." Cao Hong's eyes were also bright, and he nodded repeatedly. He knew what Ma Chao was going to say next. Although it was directly exposed that Wei Dao was formed by plagiarizing Chu Dao, Cao Hong was not happy.

But Ma Chao's proposal made him even more happy.

Yan Xing was also very eager like Ma Chao.

Looking at Cao Hong and the expression of the King of Hell, Ma Chao smiled slightly and said, "This battle is very important to our Northern Three Kingdoms, but it is also important to Chu. It is certain that Chu State has launched cavalry. As long as we can capture a group of Chu State war horses and look at the secrets on the legs of Chu State war horses, we can copy them. In terms of the number of war horses in the Northern Three Kingdoms, once we get that technology, we can quickly achieve cavalry, and we don't even need infantry, and all of them are converted into cavalry. In addition, ordinary cavalry can also achieve cavalry quickly and become the most powerful and elite cavalry. In this way, Chu State can only be a turtle with its head."

At the end of the day, Ma Chao's face was filled with excitement.

Isn't this the case? If there were hundreds of thousands of cavalry in the north, how could the infantry of Chu emerge? As soon as it emerged, it would probably be bloody.

Cavalry, cavalry, cavalry. Ma Chao is very ambitious.

Cao Hong, Yan Xing is like this.

"This battle must be lived with the secrets of the Chu army and thus copied them."

The three of them made a great decision.

At this moment, a group of fast horses came from the direction of Xianyang City and soon arrived at Cao Hong, Ma Chao, and Yan Xing. The horse's knight fish jumped down and reported: "There are news from three generals, Ji County. Qinhou, Lianghou asked the three generals to go back and discuss."

"What else should I discuss? Order the cavalry to be activated immediately. This time, I will go with General Cao Hong." Ma Chao was dissatisfied when he heard this and said.

In fact, the strategy has been made long ago. Once traces of the Chu army were found, Ma Chao and Cao Hong would go to war and leave Han Sui's cavalry in Xianyang to respond.

After all, there will be many unexpected changes on a battlefield. We have to retain our strength. When Chu sends troops, the first ones to be affected were Wei and Qin.

Therefore, it is reasonable to take the lead with Ma Chao and Cao Hong.

"Meng Qi should not be anxious. It is reasonable to go and discuss it first. In addition, just order the cavalry assembled. After all, it takes some time for cavalry assembled. I believe that after we finish discussing, we can set off." Yan Xing said more steadily.

"What General Yan said makes sense." Cao Hong agreed.

"Okay, let's discuss it." Ma Chao nodded and said.

Immediately, Ma Chao ordered the cavalry to gather, and on the other hand, Cao Hong and Yan Xing and the other returned to Xianyang with a large number of cavalry.

Xianyang City, in the hall of Qinhou Mansion.

Important figures such as Ma Teng, Han Sui, Zhong Yao, and Pang De were all sitting in the middle, and the atmosphere was relatively dull.

"Actually, it is a good thing for the Chu army to leave Qinchuan. Waiting is the hardest. Once the war goes on, it will be much better, and the battle will be the same." Zhong Yao, as a civil servant, was unexpectedly generous. Seeing the atmosphere was dull, he couldn't help but smile.

"Haha, what Yuan Chang said makes sense. It is the soldiers who come to block the enemy and the waters and soils that come to cover the enemy." Ma Teng laughed and said.

"This time, our three kingdoms worked together to defeat the State of Chu. Just like the State of Jin during the Warring States Period, the southern barbarians of Chu dared not send troops to the Central Plains." Han Sui also said with a smile.

As the three of them said, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became hot.
