The Liaodong cavalry were so exhausted that Gongsun Du had to order a rest.
If you don't have a good state, even if you encounter it, you will suffer a lot.
"Yangzhou cavalry with one man and two horses is even more hateful than Wuhuan cavalry. If you keep chasing them like this, you will only play yourself to death." Liu Yi said.
"Then what do you say? Retreat directly?" Gongsun Kang said dissatisfied.
Liu Yi just shut up. Now that the lord and the young lord are angry, he doesn't dare to answer casually.
Gongsun Du was also hesitating.
Just at this time, Liu Ke sent a letter, the content is very simple:
15 pigs can run faster than you!
Gongsun Du was torn to shreds directly, and after three days of rest, he continued to pursue.
Finally, there was an encounter!
Gongsun Kang caught a Yangzhou iron cavalry and chased them frantically.
"Don't run away!" Gongsun Kang was furious.
"You have the ability to catch up with your short legs!" Lu Bu laughed loudly. If it wasn't for the military order, he would have turned back to fight.
But now it seems that it is not bad to be able to piss off the enemy.
Gongsundu didn't give up the pursuit until the sky darkened.
No more than a hundred people were injured on both sides.
It was a pointless battle.
However, this pursuit made Yang Yi discover a problem.
"My lord, we were tricked by the Marquis of Dongyang!" Yang Yi said.
"How do you say that?" Gongsun Du said.
"The Yangzhou iron cavalry we discovered this time has only 5000 troops, which means that the Marquis of Dongyang only sent a small number of troops to create an incident, leading us to pursue blindly!" Yang Yi said.
Gongsun Du seemed to have suffered a critical blow in his heart!
Since there was no division of troops, the Liaodong Army acted collectively, but the Marquis of Dongyang divided his troops recklessly.
If he also divides his troops, Dongyanghou will gather his army again and defeat them one by one.
Gongsun Du suddenly had a very headache.
The Liaodong army was gloomy, but the Yangzhou army was laughing and laughing.
"That little baby Gongsun Kang is going to be very angry." Lu Bu laughed heartily.
"I will go next!" Dian Wei volunteered.
Liu Ke refused, saying: "I'm afraid our plot has been seen through."
"How is it possible?" Lu Bu didn't believe it.
"Fengxian, this time you exposed your strength. Gongsun Kang chased you for a long time, but no one supported you. You have clearly told Gongsun Du that our main force is not nearby." Liu Ke said.
"Look at you, things are not reliable!" Dian Wei rolled his eyes.
"My lord, this subordinate has neglected his duty!" Lu Bu admitted his mistake.
"It's okay, I have expected it a long time ago, and we can proceed to the next step." Liu Ke said.
"What's the master plan?" Everyone looked at Liu Ke expectantly.
"Next, Gongsun Du will divide his troops and set a trap to lure us to attack." Liu Ke said.
Chapter 430 IX Defeating Liaodong King
As expected, Gongsun Du divided his troops into five troops, forming an arc, not far apart, echoing each other from the beginning to the end.
No matter which army is attacked, the rest of the army can quickly support.
However, Liu Ke was waiting for this opportunity.
Does Gongsun Du really think he can support it?
How naive.
The Yangzhou iron cavalry are all light cavalry, and the armor and weapons on their bodies add up to about twenty or thirty catties, which can provide good protection.
It stands to reason that this will increase the burden on the horse.
The equipment of the Liaodong cavalry is very simple, just a linen coat, but they still can't outrun the Yangzhou iron cavalry. Is this just because of one person and two cavalry?
it's not true!
If you raise a horse, you can’t feed it grass. If you want it to have strength, you need to feed it with other foods, such as beans, grains, and a small amount of meat!
Their food intake is also amazing, and the food they eat must be clean and hygienic.In other words, it is not much different from what people eat, and the quantity is much more.
For war horses, it is necessary to replace the saddle, stirrup and horseshoe nails every once in a while.These are all metal products, which were very rare and precious in ancient times.
But Yangzhou's prosperity gave Liu Ke enough confidence.
