Zhang Hu and Ge Jun also cupped their fist and agreed with Zhang Liao There was no need to share thethe two cities to others
Their actions caused Xu Sheng to feel dissatisfied Ever since earlier, he had been angry at Zhang Liao for disrespecting Liu Mang On the other hand, Ge Jun and Zhang Hu were surrendered generals They had no qualifications to htless re roared out angrily Fortunately, his level headed deputy wang Wei pulled hi to cal Liao and explained, “General Wenyuan I do not only want Linhuai and its surroundings” Linhuai was just the interests There were two other things that Liu Mang truly wanted from this The first one was to obtain Sun Ce’s attention If Sun Cewould keep his cities If Sun Ce were to try and rescue the two cities, then Liu Mang would eradicate the with the soldiers in the city but to deal with any potential reinforcee of this crisis to obtain a port
“Is that so?” Zhang Liao could not help but look at Liu Mang in a new light Linhuai was truly a location that could allow theainst Cao Cao and Sun Ce This showed that Liu Mang was an ailant for awas just Lu Bu’s subordinate A subordinate with such a However, he then rehter whichanyway This caused Zhang Liao to relax once again
“General Wenyuan For this expedition to Linhuai, the ar Liao was stunned He questioned whether Liu Mang wanted to put hi told Xu Sheng and wang Wei to listen to Zhang Liao’s orders as though the orders ca beca Liao was qualified for this position He thought that Liu Ye or Huang Gai wereAre you listening?” Liu Mang frowned as he looked at Xu Sheng
“Yes This one accepts the order!” Xu Sheng helplessly cupped his fist and replied
“Zilong What is the state of your White Horses?” Liu Mang asked the silent Zhao Yun
“Have his reply “Milord The White Horses have finished selecting its members” Three thousand White Horses cavaliers There were Zhao Yun’s prided troops
“Good! Zilong You will take care of the rear with the White Horses after Xu Sheng and the others have left Hide the tracks left behind by General Wenyuan and protect the supply routes!”
“Milord Is it a good idea to dispatch the White Horses when it has just been established?” Liu Ye asked The Xiliang Cavalry had been elites that changed allegiances They already had a stable foundation and eneral of cavalries Putting hith to di Cavalry may have become even more powerful However, Zhao Yun’s White Horses were co Cavalry ast them There were at least a thousand new recruits At most, they have only just learned how to ride horses How are they going to fight in a war? Although there were only three thousandthe, you are too anxious! It is precisely because they are newly established that I want Zilong take them out for war! What could steel a soldier better than war?” Liu Mang laughed as he explained hi did not dispatch Zhao Yun si also trusted hiinally supposed to be a heavy cavalry but Liu Mang did not have any more heavy armors, especially the onesscrapped the idea of a heavy cavalry and ht cavalry
As Zhao Yun’s cavalry was a light cavalry, Liu Mang could allocate theht cavalry to obtain more power It was impossible for them to defeat heavy cavalries but their opponent were only infantries or other light cavalries at most If there were heavy cavalries on the field, the White Horses could simply retreat
In addition, Zhao Yun’s White Horses were an extre for all three thousandjust to do this The silk clothing was also not just to make the White Horses look luxurious and make them feel comfortable Silk was one of the raw materials for body armor before synthetic materials were invented It was able to somewhat protect a person from barbed arrows as it allowed the arrowheads to be pulled out easier This reduced the death rates of the soldiers3
Liu Mang even gave the had used once at Kaiyang when the Wolf Cavalry broke out of the encirclement Lu Bu also knew that these stirrups were considered a weapon As the Wolf Cavalry had little soldiers, it was better to let it be used by others
As Liu Ye still see turned to Zhao Yun and asked “Zilong Are you confident in this upco battle?”
“I am!” Zhao Yun replied and nodded In hisThis book contained the techniques of the Mongolian cavalry Zhao Yun was a modest person When he received the book, he studied in hopes he would learn so new but when he read it, he felt like he just obtained the most precious treasure in the world The tactics used in the book made Zhao Yun infatuated He would definitely juave hi! Did you see that?” Liu Mang said back to Liu Ye Liu Ye was no longer able to say anything since Zhao Yun hireat when it comes to tactics for cavalries He and Xu Shu were scholars from the Huai River They were better at naval battles The only strategist here that would know about cavalries was Jia Xu
“Ziyang You too have heavy responsibility! The industrial zone is pivotal for lected!” Liu Ye his to do
“I will live up to your expectations Milord”
“Haha With good officials and generals, I would definitely be able to pacify the land!”
