    Chapter 1977: Iron Cavalry Cavalry Falls from the Sky (Part 1)


    "Wen Yuan, after receiving a letter from Fei Ge from Luoyang, the Tang army withdrew from Luoyang." Xu Huanghui reported.


    Hearing this, Zhang Liao was immediately excited and shouted, "Hurry up, speed up the march, be sure to catch up with the main force of the Tang army before the Tang army leaves Henan Yin and enters Hongnong County."


    "No."


    With Zhang Liao''s order, the 40,000 Qin troops started the raid mode and marched at a speed of 150 miles a day in the direction of Hongnong County of the Tang army.


    Most of the 40,000 cavalry commanded by Zhang Liao were light cavalry, of which 20,000 main Qin cavalry were one man and two horses, and they could travel 200 miles a day, but the remaining 20,000 cavalry was not so fast.


    The other 20,000 cavalry came from the four divisions of Li Jing, Zhang He, Xiao Yan and Han Xin. They had previously been equipped with single horses. Although they had reached the standard configuration of Qin cavalry with one person and two horses after reorganization, they obviously did not reach the high-intensity marching speed of 200 miles a day, and even 150 miles was the limit for them.


    In order to keep the 20,000 cavalrymen up with the speed of the main force, Zhang Liao deliberately reduced the speed of the march to 15 miles a day.


    If the speed of 200 miles a day of march, although the 20,000 main force could reach the predetermined position in the shortest time, the other 20,000 cavalry were left far behind.


    Even if the main Qin cavalry can defeat the 60,000 Tang army, they will definitely make a lot of efforts, so Zhang Liao naturally would not do this.


    After Zhang Liao''s calculations, even if he does not march at full speed, he can still catch up with the Tang army before entering Hongnong County before the Tang army leaves Henan Yin.


    The current location of the 40,000 Qin cavalry is in Xiaopingjin Pass, Hedong County, and is only 300 miles away from Luoyang. Even if you walk 150 miles a day, you can reach the foot of Luoyang City in just two days.


    The Qin army has a full cavalry lineup, which can be so fast, while the Tang army is a mixed infantry and cavalry. It is just that it is the limit of traveling fifty miles a day.


    According to the distance between the two sides, the Qin army can catch up with the Tang army in a maximum of three days at a marching speed of 150 miles a day, and the Tang army may not have entered Hongnong County for three days.


    In Luoyang, after learning that Zhang Liao led 40,000 cavalry to take the lead and would arrive in Luoyang within two days, the generals in Luoyang were in agitation.


    Most of them are unwilling to watch the Tang army escape, but the number of troops in Luoyang City is too small, so there are even fewer elite soldiers. Once the Tang army is recruited back from the city, it is very likely that even Luoyang will not be able to save it.


    Now this kind of worry is completely gone.


    Forty thousand cavalry are about to arrive in Luoyang. Even if the defenders in the city chase out, the Tang army will not dare to fight back.


    With this consideration alone, the senior officials of the Qin army unanimously decided to concentrate their elite troops out of the city to pursue Zhang Liao''s 40,000 cavalry.


    Perhaps the combat power of the Luoyang defenders is not very strong, but if they concentrate the elite troops, they will also be an extremely strong combat power that can greatly help the cavalry team.


    The current army that can go out of the city to fight in Luoyang City is only two thousand Flying Tiger Army and eight thousand Detachment of Women.


    New recruits and strong men can only be used to defend the city. If they really fight head-on with the Tang army, they will definitely be defeated at once. Not only will they not be able to help, but they will also cause trouble.


    "About the candidate for the main general of the pursuit of the army this time?"


    Jia Xu looked around the generals in the hall, and finally his eyes fell on Mu Guiying.


    "Mu Guiying, I ordered you to be the chief general, lead the eight thousand women''s army and two thousand flying tiger troops, and go out of the city to pursue the Tang army. I do not want to defeat the Tang army, but I ask to delay the speed of the marching until General Zhang Liao arrives."


    A happy look flashed across Mu Guiying''s face, and she decisively clasped her fists and took the order, "No."


    Giving Mu Guiying the position of chasing the main general was actually a helpless move. Now that the yin and yang are in the city of Luoyang are in full swing, and among the 10,000 troops who can participate in the pursuit, eight thousand people are the Detachment of Women.


    If the people of the Detachment of Women''s Army were not allowed to be the chief general, if these iron ladies were angry and quit their jobs, Jia Xu would have no way to do anything about them. After confirming the candidate for the main general, it is naturally the turn of Mu Guiying to click the general.


    "Qin Liangyu, Mulan, Arthur, Hu Sanniang, Deng Chanyu, Liang Hongyu, Yang Paifeng..."


    Every time Mu Guiying read a name, a female general would stand up. As she was reading it, she found that the male generals were shocked to find that the ones who stood up were all female generals. This was the rhythm of not wanting to take them to play!


    "uh-huh."


    A strange look flashed across Jia Xu''s face, and he pretended to cough, reminding Mu Guiying to calm down.


    Mu Guiying didn''t deliberately ignore male players, but now Luoyang is in full swing and yang is in decline. Most of the generals present are female players, and male players only account for one-third, and most of them are not of high rank. Of course, she has to give priority to female players.


    But Mu Guiying also reacted and quickly ordered several male players, which made the male players feel relieved.


    In the end, Mu Guiying led the eight thousand women''s army, two thousand flying tiger army, a total of ten thousand army, as well as generals such as Qin Liangyu, Mulan, Di Qing, and Qin Ji, and embarked on the journey to pursue the Tang army.


    Mu Guiying''s 10,000 army was discovered by the secret whistle set up by Li Shimin, and the news was transmitted back to the army.


    The senior executives of Li Tang were very surprised when they learned about it. They didn''t understand why the Qin army in Luoyang City didn''t come out to chase after them when they had just retreated, but they had been walking for most of the day before they chased them?


    What do these mean? Do it?


    "No, the Qin army is by no means a gesture. Among the 10,000 Qin troops who left the city, there were not only eight thousand women''s deputies, but also two thousand flying tiger troops.


    This is the last elite in Luoyang City. If you just pretend to behave, you will never be able to send all these elites out of the city. "Li Kui said with a confident look on his face.


    "What exactly gave the Qin army the courage to go out of the city to pursue it at this time?"


    Li Kui, hearing this, couldn''t help but fall into thinking. Just when he figured it out, Sima Yi rushed in front of him and said, "There is only one possibility that the reinforcements of the Qin army arrived in advance, giving Luoyang Qin army the confidence, so he dared to go out of the city to pursue."


    “This is absolutely impossible.”


    Li Shimin decisively denied it, but a trace of panic flashed deep in his eyes.


    "How could the Qin army in Hebei have a total of 200,000 troops, how could it be so fast? Besides, I got news not long ago that the Qin army had not yet crossed the Yellow River completely, and it would never be possible to arrive in Luoyang in such a short time."


    "No, there is another possibility."


    Frightened flashed in Li Ku''s eyes, and he smiled bitterly: "Li Jing should have divided his troops into two groups and let the cavalry cross the river first. Only with the speed of the cavalry can he reach Luoyang so quickly."


    “…”


    Li Shimin was immediately struck by lightning.


    If the Qin cavalry in Hebei really separates from the large army and comes to pursue them alone, with the speed of the Qin cavalry, there is really a possibility of catching up with them.


    The focus now is how many cavalry did the Qin army in Hebei dispatch?


    If it is 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, the Tang army can still deal with it, and if it pays a certain price, it can still be repaid.


    But if it reaches 30,000, it would be difficult for the 60,000 Tang troops in Luoyang to withdraw safely.
