Chapter 766 Meet the General of Cavalry!
"Gugu!"
Puff, puff.
Just as the three of them were silent, a white afterimage passed by and landed on Zhao Changying's shoulder.
"Spirit pigeon message?"
Liu Fengping's face sank. He was still very pessimistic about the situation on the battlefield in the northern border.
In the past two years, although there have been a steady stream of spirit pigeons sent to the battlefield from the secret training ground of His Royal Highness Prince Yong, it is still an extremely important strategic communication method for Dayu.
Unless it is an extremely important matter, spirit pigeon messages will not be used.
"Is there something wrong in the northern border?"
Su Xuan expressed his guess, and Zhao Changying and Liu Fengping on the side both looked gloomy.
"Eight hundred thousand cavalry!"
"With the combat power of our Zhenxi Army, I'm afraid that even a million troops would be difficult to resist!"
"I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Yong built a horse farm in Jiangnan, but now the scale of the horse farm is not enough to support the military supply of my Dayu."
"Compared with those barbarians who grew up on horseback, our cavalry is still too weak."
Hearing Su Xuan's sigh, Zhao Changying was stunned for a moment, waved his hand to take the spirit pigeon off his shoulder, took off the bamboo tube tied to his claws, and said: "Don't be too pessimistic, don't forget the killing god legions under His Royal Highness!"
"Besides, there are those fierce generals!"
While Zhao Changying was talking, he opened the letter, and after reading it once, his expression gradually became solemn, and then he became dazed.
"Old Zhao?"
"Old Zhao!!"
"What are you staring at, what happened?"
Zhao Changying still looked at the two people with a dull look, until Su Xuan slapped him on the shoulder, Zhao Changying took a breath and put the letter in his hand in front of his eyes again.
Zhao Changying swore that even his newlywed wife had not read the letter so carefully, and almost read out every word.
"Hiss!"
"Could it be... Hu Nu retreated?"
Looking at Zhao Changying's expression, the two guessed that it should not be a crisis in the northern border, otherwise, this old guy would never have such an expression.
Then there was only one possibility, Hu Nu retreated, or there was some other change, which led to Hu Nu being restrained.
But they absolutely dared not think that Hu Nu was defeated!
Moreover, the defeat was a mess!
Zhao Changying still did not explain, and the two were so anxious that they wanted to beat the old guy on the spot.
"Give it to me, let me see."
Liu Fengping finally couldn't help it, and took the letter back from Zhao Changying's hand. Su Xuan also came up and quickly browsed it.
"Fuck!"
"Hu Nu was defeated... 800,000 troops were almost destroyed?"
"Not only that!"
"Your Highness is going to fight back?"
Both of them looked dazed. For a moment, they couldn't figure out why 800,000 cavalrymen were almost destroyed. They didn't even have room to withdraw, and were defeated one by one by Dayu's cavalry?
This is 800,000 cavalrymen!
Cavalrymen!
The kind on horses!
In addition, the combat power of Hu Nu cavalry is definitely not comparable to that of Nanman and Mobei. Mobei and Nanman are nomadic civilizations at best, and can't even be called a country. After all, their ruling class is in the form of tribes.
Hu Nu is different. Although the territory occupied by Hu Nu is bitter and cold, it is not completely uncultivated.
The terrain within the territory is also extremely complex, with grasslands and deserts. Although the land is not as fertile as the Central Plains, it can be cultivated. It is a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural society.
In addition, the royal court of Hu Nu has a top-down ruling class.
"My goodness, the little ancestor is actually preparing to fight. The Hu people are not southern barbarians!"
"Yes, it is not easy to break through the eight borders of the Hu people."
Liu Fengping understood Ning Fan's deep meaning at a glance and explained: "It is impossible not to fight!"
"The Hu people have suffered such a big loss in my Dayu, and they will definitely not give up."
"After all, this time the Hu people came to rule the Central Plains, and now your highness has taken the initiative to fight, avoiding the war from burning again in my Dayu, and my northern border can continue to consolidate. Strengthen the defense line and engage in production!"
"This is a strategic decision!"
"Moreover, His Highness is also preparing to lead the army to personally conquer Dayan. Is he going to declare war on Dayan?"
Liu Fengping's eyes were burning with raging fire, and a passion suddenly surged in his heart. He said excitedly: "For many years, the wars in my western border have always been fought by Dayan!"
"I didn't expect that I could wait until the day when I, Dayu, took the initiative to attack Dayan!"
"My Dayu, is so great!"
"Attack and defense have changed!"
...
Northern Border.
Yunteng City.
Ning Fan led a group of civil and military officials to the training ground, but as soon as they entered, everyone's steps froze, Huo Qubing's whole body trembled, and a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.
Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Guan Yu, and even Li Ru and Jia Xu on the side were all shocked, and their fists were clenched tightly.
"This is... the cavalry of my great Han!"
"This is the military flag of my great Han, the armor of my great Han!"
"This is the son of my great Han!"
Huo Qubing stumbled all the way to the front, his face full of excitement. He finally understood what His Highness meant by the 100,000 cavalry.
I didn't expect that he would prepare such a big surprise for himself.
"Han!"
"Han!"
"Hahahaha!"
"All the soldiers, this is General Huo Qubing!"
Huo Qubing stood on the parade ground, holding a spear in his hand. The scales of his armor shone brightly under the sunlight, like an unparalleled god of war standing for eternity!
"Shua!"
"I pay my respects to the General of the Cavalry!"
"All generals, please excuse me!"
Huo Qubing thrust his spear straight onto the stage, spread his hands, and 100,000 soldiers raised their weapons together.
"Wearing armor and carrying a long sword, I will fight with you. The road is long. We are united in the same enemy and will live and die together. I will fight with you without any slackness."
"I will step on Yanran and chase the Hu people. I will fight with you without fear."
Huo Qubing sang with the 100,000 cavalrymen, and then smiled heartily: "Commendations, this general is ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to conquer the Hu slaves and attack the northern desert. Are you willing to follow him?"
"I will follow you until death!"
"Those who offend me, the powerful Yu!"
"Even if they are far away, they will be punished!"
"Even if they are far away, they will be punished!"
"Even if they are far away, they will be punished!"
In just a moment, all the Han generals were inexplicably excited, even Qin Qiong and Yue Fei were excited.
Ning Fan looked at the 100,000 cavalrymen in front of him. He found that the Black Armor Army seemed to lack some momentum and even faith in front of this Han cavalry.
There was no need for Huo Qubing to say anything extra. As long as he stood on the high platform and mentioned the word "Han", the 100,000 cavalrymen below were like worshipping gods, with light in their eyes.
The glittering luster bloomed with unprecedented brilliance, as if a simple word "Han" could bring them supreme glory!
"Your Highness, I, Huo Qubing, request to go to war!"
