    There was already a slight chill at midnight in autumn, and eight hundred elite cavalry armed to the teeth gathered at the north gate of Jinyang.  There was no crowding and noise as imagined, and there was no swearing-in ceremony where each person had a bowl of Zhuangxing wine.  Li Xiaogong just waved the torch in his hand three times, and the eight hundred knights rushed out of Jinyang City like the wind.

    No one shouted, only the sound of hoofbeats.  When passing by Yunjiazhuangzi, a long motorcade merged into the team like a tributary.

    In the carriage Yunhao was sitting in, he had learned how to ride a horse after years of training.  But he doesn't like riding it. If he rides it for a long time, it will become bow-legged.  Li Er, Li Xiaogong, and Li Xiaosan and Li Xiaosi from the Li family are all bow-legged.  They look so ugly when they walk, Yunhao doesn't want to look like them.

    The horse-drawn carriage is not as wide as the ox-cart car, but the shock absorption system invented by Yunhao still ensures the comfort of the horse-drawn carriage.  Steel plates are added to the mezzanine of the carriage, and there are sharp edges on both sides of the axle.  Even the windows are equipped with iron bars.  Chu Yuan and his son were sitting on the shaft of the carriage, holding two exaggerated crossbows in their hands.

    The crossbow is a terrifying killing machine created by Yun Hao based on ergonomics and mechanics principles.  The crossbow arm is made of pure steel, and the crossbow string is the sinew of an animal that Chu Yuan and his father did not know where they got it from.  It's so tough that you can't even push the crossbow with your feet.  You can only use the rocker arm to swing the winding quickly. Although it is a little slow, it is extremely powerful.

    When it was just made successfully, the target 450 steps away was actually pierced.  Yunhao didn't think that the armor of this era could block the three-sided arrow fired by this thing.

    "It's a pity that the tendons of that kind of animal are very difficult to get rid of."  A total of two crossbows were produced, and their power could be demonstrated in small-scale combat.  In a large-scale battle, this thing will become a disposable weapon.

    As for Qi Biao and Lai Shun'er, they were sitting in the last cart full of medicinal materials.  The strong smell of medicine made the passing cavalry look sideways.  These two guys have learned a lot from Zhang Wenzhong in the past two years, and Yunhao has taught them some health knowledge for future generations.  They have become two rising stars in Jinyang's medical community, but these two guys are studying medical knowledge diligently.  Obviously, there is no lack of research on the human body structure, especially the female human body structure.  It is said that these two are regular customers of Chunxiang Tower in Jinyang.  And every time, I still said to go see a doctor.

    Sometimes Yunhao is very suspicious. The research direction of these two guys seems to be gynecology.

    Qi Biao is not that tall. It is obvious that this guy's nutrition is used to grow his mind.  Laishun'er is quite tall, over two meters tall.  Standing there in the dark like half of an iron tower, with muscles all over his body, he looked like Wu Yunzhao back then.

    It would be even more fun if you two brothers put on armor.  Qi Biao looked like a monkey general, while Lai Shun'er didn't have suitable armor and could only wear one size smaller.  He still looks like a monkey, no matter how he looks, he looks awkward.  But there's no way around it. People of his rank in the military usually have some rank.  Fighting in these days is actually not that fancy.  A fierce general with thick arms and strong legs, who can run horses and stand on people with his fists, is still the main force on the battlefield.

    The armors are all custom-made, and many of them are passed down from ancestors.  In such a short time, I want to get a pair of armor for Lai Shuner.  That was simply a fantasy. Even if Yunhao went to find Li Er, he could not solve it in the end.

    In addition to loading grain and supplies on the cart, the drivers pulling the cart each have a crossbow and a spear.  Li Er also equipped each of them with a pair of leather armor, which gave them more or less combat effectiveness.  Although not strong, at least he is not a lamb to be slaughtered.

    There were three carriages wrapped tightly in black cloth, and no one knew what was inside.  When Li Xiaogong asked, Yunhao just smiled and said, "Don't say it, don't say it." Li Xiaogong was so angry that he wanted to slap him.

    Yunhao was sitting in the carriage, lying on an incredibly comfortable soft couch.  If he hadn't resolutely refused, there would still be Yuan'er or Xin'er serving in the carriage.  Although Yunhao likes to enjoy himself, he is here to fight after all.  If a beautiful girl is found among a bunch of soldiers, the morale and morale of the soldiers will be lost.

    There were Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong on the march, and Yunhao didn't bother to intervene at all.  Even if he intervened, no one would listen to him. How could a Bai Zhan Shacai who came down from the battlefield be willing to listen to a chick?

    Such a large-scale cavalry existed in all directions in the Sui Dynasty.  Although all the eight pillar states have Xianbei blood, war horses are hard to find.  In the Sui Dynasty, cavalry was still extremely valuable.  The eight hundred elite cavalry sent by Li Er this time were the assets accumulated by the Li family over the years.  Li Er was thinking that even if he couldn't beat him, he would still have no problem running back.

    Along the way, we met some refugees from Mayi who had fled south, but there were not many of them.  After asking them about it, I found out that the Turks did not attack??Mayi.  Instead, they are attacking the Great Wall outside Mayi. These refugees are all poor farmers on the edge of the Great Wall.  He was also a refugee when he arrived in Mayi, so he simply fled to Jinyang.  Safety aside, life in big cities is easier.

    Hearing that Ma Yi was not surrounded yet, Yunhao breathed a sigh of relief.  At least when we get to Mayi, we don't have to go through too many battles.  Li Xiaogong's expression changed drastically, and after muttering with Li Daozong, he got into Yun Hao's carriage.

    "You said that the Turks did this intentionally to lure Wang Wei to deploy heavy troops along the Great Wall. Then, attack Mayi?" Yunhao looked at Li Xiaogong and asked in confusion.  If the Great Wall cannot be breached, how the hell are they going to attack Mayi?  Are the Turks riding horses or unicorns all flying?

    "The Great Wall is a defensive line, and the battle line is very long. If too many troops are stationed on the Great Wall, the Turks will only need to break through a little, which will turn the entire Great Wall defense line into a useless defense line. The strength of the infantry lies in urban defense. And the cavalry  His strength lies in field combat!"

    "You mean, once the Turks break through the Great Wall, even if they attack Mayi, the Great Wall defenders can only watch because they dare not come out to fight in the field?" As soon as Li Xiaogong said this, Yunhao understood.

    "Not only that, if the Turks have a big enough appetite, they will attack the Great Wall defense line from the front and back, and then cut the entire defense line into several sections, taking advantage of the slow movement of the infantry to divide and annihilate them." Li Daozong added.

    "Do Turks have such a big appetite?" Yunhao was stunned by Li Daozong's words, if that's the case.  Then we have to speed up the process, otherwise we will be pursued one after another by the Turks.  Eight hundred people protecting hundreds of thousands of people, no matter how you look at it, it is an impossible task.

    "It depends on what the Turkic Khan wants to do, because this will also cause certain casualties to the Turks. After all, their horses cannot rush to the city wall. And defending the city is the strength of the infantry."

    "In your opinion, how long can Wang Wei last? In other words, when does the Turkic Khan want to attack." Yunhao bit his lip and asked.

    "It's hard to say, it depends on how many soldiers Wang Wei presses against the Great Wall defense line. The Turks just want to drain Mayi's defense power and reduce the difficulty of attacking Mayi. After all, Mayi is an important military town. Gaochi Shen  . If the Turks want to take it down forcefully, they will have to waste a lot of effort." Li Xiaogong thought for a moment and said.

    "Then let's not camp at night and follow the cavalry on horseback. Leave the baggage behind and we will rush to Mayi. It will still take a few days to mobilize the people to move south. I hope Wang Wei's fool didn't crush everyone on the Great Wall.  Above." Yunhao thought for a moment and said.

    "This is the only plan for today." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
