Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer Was Forced Out of the Mountain at the Beginning

"What?"

Li Cunxiao and Jiang Wei couldn't help being surprised when they heard Ma Chao's words.

They thought that these Qiang cavalry were not many, only tens of thousands.

But from Xiliang's side, half of the soldiers are cavalry!

After having such an encounter with the Qiang people, both Li Cunxiao and Jiang Wei knew very well that there would be no problem if they attacked the Qiang infantry by themselves.

However, if it is 50,000 cavalry, it is difficult to say.

Even if we can win, we will probably lose a lot of troops.

When attacking cavalry, the advantage of being a cavalry person is gone.

Moreover, these Qiang people are so large that they can use 50,000 cavalry to block the Xuanjia cavalry and Bingzhou wolf cavalry.

The soldiers in the rear can directly bend their bows and shoot arrows to support them.

In this case, the advantages are almost completely eliminated!

"I'm afraid he won't be happy if I tell you this news."

Li Cunxiao couldn't help but sigh quietly.

He didn't expect that this would be the result.

This Qiang tribe is unexpectedly extremely troublesome!

Ma Chao smiled calmly and said:

"Don't panic, we also have many cavalry in Xiliang. As long as you speak, our Xiliang cavalry will definitely be obliged to do so."

"To be honest, I have long been unhappy with this Yueji troops."

"If King Wei hadn't ordered them not to act rashly, they would have been wiped out by our Xiliang cavalry long ago!"

What Ma Chao said was really not a big lie.

Since potatoes and other high-quality crops were planted in Xiliang, the food has obviously become much better than before.

Xiliang is good everywhere, but it's not easy to grow food.

Moreover, horses do not eat much fodder.

Therefore, Xiliang can raise cavalry, but it cannot raise too many cavalry.

But what Bai Feng gave was not only grain seeds, but also high-quality forage seeds!

As soon as these seeds were sown, the number of horses that could be bred increased instantly.

This is why Ma Chao is so confident now.

Today's Xiliang Iron Cavalry is more than twice as big as before!

Before, the number of Xiliang cavalry was only seventy or eighty thousand at most, but now it is close to two hundred thousand.

It's two hundred thousand cavalry!

What is the concept of two hundred thousand cavalry?

Crushing all the way, the Qiang leader used all his troops, but he couldn't resist it at all!

Xiliang people grew up on horses, and the horses are also extremely good.

Even the horses used by Cao Cao's tiger and leopard horses were obtained from Xiliang.

Jiang Wei suddenly smiled bitterly:

"General Meng Qi, if we can use Xiliang soldiers, we won't have to worry so much."

"It's not just the Qiang people here in Xiliang, but also the Qiang people in the north. If you want to deal with them, where will it be so troublesome?"

"There are currently a hundred thousand defenders on the northern border."

"If we really fight, they don't need to charge. We only need archers from behind to assist. We can kill Li Yuanhong head-on."

"However, sir insisted on using the 10,000 cavalry in his own hands."

"This time, sir, I also told you that you can go to investigate, but the Xiliang cavalry must not send troops."

This sentence directly confused Ma Chao:

"What?"

"There are obviously reinforcements, sir, why is this?"

"Could it be that they are training troops?"

Ma Chao was really itchy and was overjoyed when he heard the news from Jiang Wei.

However, I heard such news.

Can't send troops, can only conduct reconnaissance?

Isn't that just letting yourself sit and stare?

How could Ma Chao be such an honest person?

To be honest, if this order had been issued by Cao Cao or Ma Teng, Ma Chao would have secretly rushed over with his soldiers without saying a word, and killed those Qiang people who were too rough first.

But it was Bai Feng who said this.

Ma Chao could not listen to anyone else's words, but he absolutely had to listen to Bai Feng's words.

"That's not fair!"

Ma Chao suddenly said unhappily:

"I have been guarding the border for so long, just hoping that one day I can directly kill the Qiang people."

"But now, you actually let me watch?"

"What on earth are you thinking, sir?"

After hearing Ma Chao's words, Jiang Wei comforted him:

"Don't worry, sir, he has his reasons for doing this. We just choose to believe him."

"As for why, maybe after beating these Qiang people, we will know the answer."

Hearing what Jiang Wei said, Ma Chao could only sigh:

"Well, that's all."

"You two will rest here first, and we will set off after night."

"Good work."

Jiang Wei smiled calmly.

Immediately, Ma Chao arranged a room for Jiang Wei and Li Cunxiao to stay temporarily.

If you want to investigate the Qiang soldiers, the best time is of course at night.

After all, most of the Qiang soldiers this time were cavalry. If they were discovered, it would be difficult to escape.

And if you alert someone, you will definitely be scolded by your husband.

Soon, Pang De was also called over by Ma Yunlu.

After learning the purpose of Bai Jiangwei and Li Cunxiao's visit, Pang De resolutely agreed to go together.

Soon it was late at night.

Five people, Ma Chao, Ma Yunlu, Pang De, Jiang Wei and Li Cunxiao, rode lightly and quietly towards the Qiang tribe on horseback.

As for Xiliang, leave it to Ma Dai for the time being.

Although Ma Dai is not strong enough, he is still good at taking charge.

After all, Ma Dai is a relatively calm person and does not make any big decisions easily.

The most important thing is not to be impulsive.

Soon, Ma Chao slowed down and lowered his voice:

"There is a gathering place of Qiang soldiers ahead. We must be careful."

"This Yueji is extremely careful. Every night he sends out dozens of cavalry to patrol around."

"However, I discovered during this period that these cavalry patrols will alternate within a period of time. This alternating time is when they are at their weakest."

"As long as we seize this time, we can know where their baggage is, where their leaders are, and where their soldiers are."

"For such a large cottage, if we master this key information, sir, the winning rate of sending troops will be greatly improved."

After hearing Ma Chao's words, everyone nodded.

This is what they came here for.

This Yue Ji is much more difficult to defeat than Li Yuanhong. If he uses the previous method, Yue Ji will definitely be wary of him.

Only by ensuring the specific location of their baggage and soldiers' barracks can they burn their baggage and cause chaos before taking advantage of it.

If we can capture this Yue Ji soldier, we might be able to go directly to the base camp of the Qiang leader.

As long as we can break through the leader's base camp, we can say that we have won about 80% of the battle against the Qiang people.
