Chapter 97: The Two Armies Meet
Huang Yan immediately ordered the army to be on alert, and the cavalrymen on horseback immediately took out their bows and arrows, ready to shoot at any time.
Cao Mengyi looked at it for a while, then raised his hand and asked his subordinates to put down their bows and arrows.
"Brother Cao, what do you mean? The intention of this cavalry is unclear, we must be on guard against it!" Huang Yan said anxiously.
"Don't panic, these are Ying Xuanze's troops. Let's see what's going on and ask them to come over."
Huang Yan said "oh", but the next second he exclaimed: "Cavalry!? He actually has cavalry?"
Cao Mengyi was also surprised that an infantry corps could be trained in a short period of time by recruiting civilians.
What about the cavalry? The training of cavalry is huge, even their Yinglong Army only has 200,000 soldiers and horses.
This consumed a lot of financial resources of Daying, but cavalry has a noble status and is a type of soldier that a country must train.
This time when they went north to the grassland, the general only gave them 50,000 cavalry. You can imagine how precious cavalry are.
"Go up and take a look. I'm also curious about where Ying Xuanze's cavalry came from."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Mengyi led a team of people to greet them, while Huang Yan stayed where he was out of fear.
Cao Mengyi didn't say anything. His duty was not only to kill Ying Xuanze but also to protect Master Huang Yan.
The two armies gradually approached each other, and finally faced each other at a distance of a hundred meters.
Cao Mengyi took a quick look and saw that the enemy only had over a thousand men, so he lowered his guard a little. However, he still asked solemnly, "Are you a general under the Marquis' command?"
"Exactly. My last name is Huo Qubing. May I ask what your name is, General?"
"My last name is Cao Mengyi." Cao Mengyi answered with a folded hand, but he still muttered in his heart: Qubing? This name is really strange.
"Hello, General Cao. My master has learned that the imperial court has sent a large army to support us, so he asked me to come and take you there."
"The Lord and our army are already waiting on the grassland ahead. Once the reinforcements arrive, we will launch an annihilation war against the Nagor tribe!"
Cao Mengyi was suddenly startled and wondered if Ying Xuanze had already arrived at the doorstep of the Nagor tribe?
He had heard of the Nagor tribe, and its current strength was stronger than that of the Tu tribe. The fact that Ying Xuanze dared to take the initiative to attack meant that he really had an army of 100,000.
Moreover, the combat effectiveness of this 100,000-strong army is not weak. Otherwise, how could they have the confidence to challenge the Nagor tribe which has hundreds of thousands of Hu soldiers and horses?
Cao Mengyi felt more and more troubled. It seemed that the matter of eliminating Ying Xuanze had to be put aside for the time being. One hundred thousand troops was not a small number.
If we act rashly, not only will we not gain any benefit, but we will also be very likely to be taken advantage of by the Nagor tribe.
Right now, they should annihilate the Nagor tribe together. When the situation on the battlefield turns to their side, he will look for a suitable opportunity to kill Ying Xuanze!
Thinking of this, Cao Mengyi's tense facial muscles relaxed. He smiled and said to Huo Qubing, "Then I'll trouble General Huo to lead the way for us."
Huo Qubing nodded, and Cao Mengyi led his troops back to the army. Huang Yan immediately stepped forward and asked:
"What do you think, Brother Cao? I don't think the other side has many people. Is the main force behind them?"
"That's right. Ying Xuanze and his army are waiting on the grassland ahead. I'm sure they have 100,000 soldiers and horses, otherwise they wouldn't have reached the doorstep of the Nagor tribe."
Huang Yan's heart tightened, and he said in panic, "Really there are 100,000? What should we do? It's not easy to get rid of Ying Xuanze!"
"Don't panic, young master. Let's pretend to join forces with them to attack the Nagor tribe and let Ying Xuanze's army take over first."
"As for us, we will just watch from the sidelines, kill some Hu soldiers from time to time, and when the time comes, we will kill Ying Xuanze by surprise!"
Cao Mengyi comforted Huang Yan, and the latter felt relieved after listening to the former's advice.
"Then let's go. This is a good way. We can not only destroy the entire tribe of the Hu people, but also get rid of Ying Xuanze and his army."
"Brother Cao, this is a great achievement for us! The court will definitely reward us handsomely!" Huang Yan said excitedly.
"That's great, but we should still be cautious. This Zhenxi Marquis is not a simple person."
"Well, I'll listen to Brother Cao."
After saying that, the two men ordered the army to follow Huo Qubing. After walking for about a day, they finally saw Ying Xuanze and his army.
Two days later, after receiving the information from the scouts, Ying Xuanze immediately exchanged for 10,000 Zhao cavalry.
Now he has more than 30,000 Zhao cavalrymen. With the blessing of Huo Qubing's talent [Shooting the Heavenly Wolf], he is not incapable of fighting against the 100,000 Yinglong troops.
Huang Yan saw a group of people in front of him. After a while, he pointed to the front and said to Cao Mengyi:
"Brother Cao, looking at this figure, Ying Xuanze doesn't have many soldiers and horses? How many are there here?"
After saying this, he looked back at the army behind him and became more certain of his thoughts.
"It's just tens of thousands of people. There's nothing to be afraid of. One against one, our Yinglong Army is invincible."
Cao Mengyi looked at the army in front of him and after a quick glance he saw that there were indeed only about 30,000 to 40,000 people.
But the next second his pupils shocked, because these more than 30,000 people were all cavalry, without a single infantryman!
More than 30,000 cavalrymen, only 10,000 less than what they have here, can already be considered a luxurious configuration.
His opinion of Ying Xuanze changed again. Not to mention how this man trained a cavalry army, but also the fact that this cavalry gave him a very dangerous feeling.
This cavalry was equipped with complete protective gear, and he even saw some cavalrymen and horses covered in iron armor.
Was that heavy cavalry? But he had never seen such heavy cavalry before. Even the heavy cavalry of Great Ying only wore iron armor on important parts.
But the heavy cavalry in front of him were covered in armor. From his perspective, these soldiers and horses were wrapped tightly and there was no angle from which they could attack.
Although this heavy cavalry consisted of only a few hundred people, it still made him feel nervous.
"Young Master, we must not be careless. This cavalry gives me a very dangerous feeling." Cao Mengyi said in a low voice.
Huang Yan sneered, "It's okay, Brother Cao. He only used tens of thousands of cavalry to destroy so many Hu soldiers and horses. This shows that these Hu people are not as strong as we thought."
"Let's follow our tactics just now. Let Ying Xuanze lead the troops to fight first, and we will sit back and reap the benefits!"
"Although the imperial decree requires us to hand over the army to him for control, my father has already made an agreement with the soldiers to only cooperate on the surface."
Cao Mengyi pondered for a while and then uttered "hmm".
He was indeed a little too cautious. These 100,000 Yinglong troops were all elite troops. Ying Xuanze had cavalry, and they also had cavalry, and their numbers were greater.
In terms of experience in leading troops, he is no less than Ying Xuanze, which is an absolute advantage no matter how you look at it.
