Chapter 423 Heavy Cavalry
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun took them back to the city overnight.
Back in the city, the soldiers were exhausted.
After counting, both Zhang Liao and Gao Shun looked very bad.
"Losing more than 5 soldiers and horses, I am ashamed of my lord." Zhang Liao said sadly.
Gao Shun's face was dark. His [-] headquarters had only a few hundred soldiers left. It can be said that the entire army was almost wiped out.
In this battle, 4 infantrymen were killed, while Zhang Liao's [-] cavalry also lost more than half of their troops.
After the first battle, the soldiers and horses in Liaodong were injured and unable to fight again.
Of course, Wuhuan's soldiers and horses were not much better. Fifty thousand soldiers and horses rushed to Liaodong. After the first battle, there were only more than 1 people left.
Wu Dun tied the wound on his left arm tightly, and said with an angry face: "If I catch these despicable Han people, I will definitely chop off their heads."
He didn't expect to suffer such a big loss. With 1 cavalry, after one battle, there were only more than [-] left, which suffered heavy losses.
Although Liaodong suffered more losses than them, they didn't think much of it. They thought that ten Han people could not compare with one of them.
Wu Dun went back to lick his wounds, temporarily unable to attack, so he could only pull his face back and ask for help.
But Zhang Liao Gaoshun and the others directly retreated to Xiangping City and began to strengthen the city defenses, preparing to defend to the death.
They still have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and hundreds of thousands of people in the city. If necessary, they can defend the city together.
It didn't take long for this battle to shake Wuhuan up and down.
The [-] Wuhuan army fought against the [-] Han army, and the losses were so great.
If calculated, Wuhuan did suffer a greater loss than Liaodong.
Liaodong lost more than 4 infantry, plus 1 cavalry, and the Wuhuan people lost all cavalry.
The huge losses were second, which gave the Wuhuan people the illusion.
"Could it be that the Wuhuan army can't easily sweep the world of Han people?"
"Are the Wuhuan people getting weaker, or the Han people getting stronger?"
With such a huge loss, the Wuhuan people would naturally feel skeptical.
This is terrifying. In their conception, an army of 20 is enough to sweep the entire Youzhou, and an army of [-] can sweep the entire Han Dynasty without any problem.
But now, the [-] army not only failed to break through Liaodong, but also suffered heavy losses.
When Qiu Liju received the news, his face was frighteningly dark.
He didn't expect that Liaodong would be so difficult to deal with.
This is true for a city of Shenyang, and it is also true for Liaodong today.
And the news came back that Xiangping City in Liaodong is also a tall city with strong defenses.
Xiangping City is the earliest city built by Zhang Yu, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people.
Qiu Liju was very embarrassed, but he couldn't retreat like this.
If he retreats at this time, his prestige will be hit hard and his position will be unstable.
When Zhang Yu received the news, he was also very furious.
"My lord, Wen Yuan and the others played pretty well." Dian Wei muttered softly when he saw Zhang Yu's expression was very bad.
Zhang Yu sighed and said: "Wen Yuan and Gao Shun fought well, and they did the right thing. Soldiers are willing to risk their lives to protect the people and their homeland. It's just that World War I cost us over 5 good men. Revenge must be reported."
Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Tai Shici also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Zhang Yu's words. Zhang Yu didn't want to pursue any responsibility, but couldn't swallow this breath.
An army of more than 5 was lost in one battle like this, and Zhang Yu's heart was bleeding.
To build an army, I don’t know how much effort it takes.
All the generals also felt hatred in their hearts, they had already taken Zhang Yu's territory as their own.
After this battle, the two sides began to confront each other, and Qiu Liju didn't dare to start a big war easily.
Because he discovered that Liaodong's army was not that weak, and it was really going to die, with heavy casualties.
"Go, arrest the people in Liaodong, as many as you can. If they don't come out, I'll chop them off one by one in front of them." Finally, Qiu Liju was hysterical and came up with such an idea.
Liaodong is defended by Zhang Liao, so it is not easy to break through in a short period of time.
However, there are always people in some villages and towns who did not evacuate, and some people were caught on the road.
Over the course of a few days, they arrested hundreds of people.
Qiu Liju was furious when he heard this.
"A group of trash, if tens of thousands of people go out, I'll catch a few hundred of them back. Trash."
"Your Majesty, the people in Liaodong are hiding, why don't we go to other places to catch them, anyway, the Han people all look the same." said one of the generals.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Liju thought it was reasonable, and immediately sent someone to go.
In this way, the people of Liaoxi suffered, and they went to the nearest Liaoxi County to arrest people.
In a few days, although Qiu Liju and the others had consumed a lot, he sent someone to send a batch of food. At the same time, the army that went out to loot also looted a lot of food, which was enough for him to sustain himself.
Qiu Liju wanted to attack Shenyang City not only because he wanted to maintain his prestige, but also because he was afraid that Liaodong would become stronger and would threaten him.
Not to mention anything else, Liaodong has become stronger, and it will become a huge obstacle for them to go south to plunder in the future.
So Qiu Liju came up with such a frenzied plan to massacre the people outside the city and force Zhang Yu to fight with them out of the city.
Zhang Yu didn't know their plan yet, holding his breath at this moment, he was also planning to go out of the city to fight with them and destroy their prestige.
"My lord, although the enemy is strong, we are not weak. If we fight outside the city, we may not suffer much." Huang Zhong said.
Zhang Yu calculated the strength of the troops, and when he went out to fight in the city, he could dispatch [-] troops, and the rest of the troops would defend the city.
After the First World War, there must be heavy losses, and they may lose the ability to fight outside the city.
But Zhang Yu thought he could give it a try.
Because Zhang Yu has also seen the discord within Wuhuan, if they can fight a war and cause them huge losses, then Qiu Liju's situation will be difficult.
The Wuhuan people came to plunder, to get rich, not to die.
As long as the loss is too great, some tribal leaders will naturally waver.
In the next few days, Zhang Yu actively prepared.
Let the soldiers who are fighting take a good rest first, and prepare to equip them with some high-quality weapons and armor.
Zhang Yu exchanged a batch of high-end goods from the system.
In particular, Zhang Yu selected [-] cavalry from the army to form a heavy cavalry, led by Huang Zhong.
These heavy cavalry are heavily armored from man to horse.
Heavy cavalry is undoubtedly one of the most powerful arms at the moment.
Zhang Yu had planned to form a heavy cavalry for a long time, but there were too many things, and one battle after another did not give him time to breathe.
Now that the war is imminent, Zhang Yu can only be formed hastily. Although he has not received much training, he is a carefully selected soldier who can adapt quickly.
Heavy cavalry, wearing heavy armor weighing dozens of kilograms, requires soldiers of good quality. Fortunately, Zhang Yu's army has strict training, good pay, and can keep up with nutrition. From the entire army, [-] soldiers can be found to form heavy cavalry .
The heavy cavalry is Zhang Yu's confidence to go out of the city and fight them.
