Double penetration: This Three Kingdoms has dragon energy

Chapter 47 Won
But if they could think of it, how could Ji Qiu not think of it?

Ji Qiu not only thought of it, but also made special arrangements for it!

Long before the battle, he had instructed Gao Shun that after gaining the upper hand over the Xiliang Iron Cavalry on the battlefield, he should exert force on both wings and compress the Xiliang Iron Cavalry's formation towards the center.

This will put the Xiliang cavalry into a semi-encirclement state.

Not only can it further injure the Xiliang cavalry, but it can also reduce their retreat route to just the nameless valley behind them!

So when they escaped, they could only escape back to the nameless valley.

Ji Qiu ambushed Wei Yan's troops in an unnamed valley.

It just happened to block the last retreat route of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, forcing them to have no way to retreat or escape, and they had no choice but to surrender.

Of course, this is an ideal state.

No one can guarantee that the battlefield situation will proceed exactly as one imagines.

Ji Qiu just asked Gao Shun to work as hard as possible in this direction.

Don't dare to expect complete success.

But what he didn't expect was that the development of the battlefield situation was even better than his ideal state!
Hua Xiong died just when the halberd soldiers had completed the semi-encirclement of the Xiliang cavalry.

Then the Xiliang Iron Cavalry collapsed without any surprise.

They all ran madly towards the nameless valley.

In the end, he was blocked by Wei Yan who just rushed out from the nameless valley!

The moment the Xiliang Iron Cavalry saw Wei Yan, everyone was devastated.

The last way out is blocked.

Their army formation was gone, and even their hope of a last-ditch struggle was gone.

If you don't want to die at this time, you can only surrender.

The vast majority of the Xiliang cavalry did not want to die, so they began to drop their weapons and surrender in large numbers.

Wei Yan was also devastated when he saw the Xiliang cavalry surrendering in large numbers.

"It's only a step too late! Why are you collapsing now?

Can't you just hold on a little longer and wait for me to come before you collapse?!

Collapsing at this moment, isn't this a trap for me?
What a bunch of rubbish!" Wei Yan cried in his heart.

In today's battle, Gao Shun commanded the main force to resist the Xiliang cavalry head-on.

He led a small force to launch an attack from the rear.

He originally thought that with the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, even if Gao Shun could stop them, he would inevitably be in a tough battle.

In this way, when he arrives, we can launch a surprise attack from the rear and secure victory in one fell swoop. Naturally, he will be the undisputed first contributor in this battle!
But he never expected that before he could launch a surprise attack, the Xiliang cavalry had already collapsed.

Damn, let alone the first credit, I'm afraid he won't even get the second credit!

How could I not be angry?
But it's no use getting angry. Now that things have come to this, what can I do?

The only thing he could do at this time was to gather the surrendered soldiers and pick up some soup to drink.

"Huh? Wait, it seems I'm not completely unsuccessful. Didn't we catch two people who were escaping by disguising themselves as ordinary Xiliang cavalrymen?

They should be key figures in the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and perhaps they deserve some credit."

Wei Yan suddenly thought of the two Xiliang cavalrymen he had captured earlier, and he immediately had an idea, so he walked towards them.

The military camp behind the battlefield.

Ji Qiu and Xi Zhong were standing in an open space, checking the battlefield situation through the drone footage displayed on the tablet.

After seeing the Western Liang cavalry begin to dismount and surrender in droves, Xi Zhong immediately congratulated Ji Qiu: "Congratulations, my lord, congratulations, my lord. This great victory has not only made another contribution to the court, but also gained nearly a thousand Western Liang cavalry. This will increase your chances of victory when you go to Taishan County to fight against the Yellow Turbans in Taishan." "The victory in this battle is all thanks to the soldiers' dedication and the dedicated efforts of the talented people! I will report to the emperor and ask for credit for you all!" Ji Qiu said with a smile.

Xizhong quickly said, "Thank you, my lord."

Then he looked at Hua Xiong's body and said, "It's a pity that Hua Xiong is dead. My lord's plan to obtain the secret technique of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry from him will probably be in vain."

The secret techniques of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry are the same as the secret techniques of the Halberd Warriors, both of which are cultivation-type secret techniques.

So in theory, all the Xiliang Iron Cavalry have the secret techniques of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

But the ordinary Xiliang Iron Cavalry do not have all the secret techniques.

There are only methods of practice, but no methods of use.

To put it simply, there are only methods to improve physical fitness in the secret art of strengthening the army, but there is no method to perform the secret art of military formation in the secret art of strengthening the army.

The method of performing the secret art of military formations in the secret art of strengthening the army is only in the hands of the commander-in-chief.

Just like the ordinary halberd soldiers under Ji Qiu, they only have the methods of improving their physical fitness in the halberd soldiers' secret techniques, while the methods of performing the two military formation secret techniques of Iron Wall and Piercing are in the hands of Gao Shun and Wei Yan.

Therefore, if you want to obtain all the information about the secret techniques of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, you must capture Hua Xiong, the main general of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

"There's nothing we can do about it. It's too difficult to capture a fierce general like Hua Xiong alive.

We can't sacrifice the lives of hundreds of soldiers just to capture Hua Xiong, right?
Compared to this, I would rather not have the Xiliang Iron Cavalry Secret Technique!" Ji Qiu said lightly.

He felt a little regretful, but not too much.

Just as he said, he would not exchange the lives of a large number of soldiers for the secret techniques of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

A general should not be too soft-hearted.

But we cannot squander the lives of soldiers at will.

Those who squander soldiers' lives will eventually suffer the consequences!

Xi Zhong looked at Ji Qiu in surprise. He wanted to say, "In fact, in the eyes of many people, the secret techniques of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry are much more important than the lives of hundreds of soldiers."

But in the end he didn't say it, and his eyes became softer instead.

No matter what, a benevolent lord will always make his subordinates feel more at ease than a cruel lord.

Even in such a cruel world, a brutal lord is actually far more capable of accomplishing things than a benevolent lord!
So I started to change the subject.

Time passed slowly as the two chatted and laughed.

About an hour later, Gao Shun's voice came over the radio: "My Lord, the battlefield has been cleared. Our army has captured 1123 Xiliang cavalry prisoners, and we have 2,800 usable war horses."

Each Xiliang Iron Cavalryman rides two horses, but on the battlefield, it is not guaranteed that two horses will die for every Xiliang Iron Cavalryman who dies.

"Very good, withdraw the troops back to the camp, and do a good job of settling the prisoners. Don't abuse them. These prisoners will be used for our own purposes in the future!" Ji Qiu ordered.

Even if the complete secret technique of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is not obtained, these Xiliang Iron Cavalry are still valuable for one's own use.

Their value as cavalry alone is enough for Ji Qiu to subdue them.

Before the army became mechanized, cavalry was the most mobile force.

Whether it is used to transmit military intelligence or other battlefield tasks, it is very useful.

Gao Shun replied: "As you wish!"

Gao Shun began to withdraw his troops back to the camp, but he was not the first to return to the camp.

The one who returned to the military camp faster than him was Wei Yan.

Wei Yan, accompanied by a group of Xiliang cavalrymen, approached Ji Qiu and said with a loud laugh, "My lord, I have brought you a large fish!"
