My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 386 Training can also produce elites!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The once orderly grain transport team instantly became somewhat chaotic.

"Don't panic! Just defend yourself as you would when practicing martial arts!"

Huang Kuang tried his best to maintain order, while the auxiliary soldiers beside him hurriedly moved the grain carts sideways. There were quite a few soldiers like Huang Kuang in the grain transport team. Although they also had a little panic on their faces, they were still trying their best to maintain order.

In the past two years, the soldiers of Shandong have indeed not experienced any fierce battles.

But the training didn't fall behind at all.

Each household has servants responsible for farming, allowing the soldiers to be completely free from work and focus solely on studying and improving their martial arts skills.

The two most frequently practiced exercises were encountering enemy cavalry raids during grain transport and quickly forming ranks to deal with cavalry charges.

no way.

Gao Yu lacked horses and did not have the ability to build a large-scale cavalry. With his base in Shandong, he was destined to rely more on infantry to conquer the world.

Forming a battle formation is the best way for infantry to deal with cavalry.

Once the formation is successfully established, even the most valiant cavalry will be helpless against it.

Whoosh whoosh!
A barrage of arrows rained down, but Huang Kuang and his men hid behind the grain carts, avoiding the first volley. Soon, the soldiers beside him rushed over and gathered around Huang Kuang.

Some people were carrying shields, some were carrying knives, some were carrying spears, and some were loading arrows into crossbows.

Not far away, enemy cavalry were advancing menacingly. After the initial panic, Huang Kuang and the others had calmed down, and their eyes were now flashing with excitement!

Huang Kuang even made a rough estimate of the number of people.

There were at least five hundred cavalrymen; that's a feat achieved by moving on horseback!

None of them were among the first batch of soldiers. They were not senior, and Huang Kuang, despite his extraordinary abilities, was only a squad leader at the moment. If he had been among the first batch of soldiers, he would have been at least a captain.

The inexperienced young soldiers were eager to earn merit.

Let alone the local militia.

Even the auxiliary soldiers no longer showed any panic; they were all waiting to obey orders.

Without him, only familiar with Seoul.

They've encountered this situation countless times during their martial arts training, and they're already quite adept at handling it.

Fear stems from the unknown.

They may not be able to be as flawless as true veterans, but to handle a cavalry raid like this on their first battlefield is already a great success!

"Fire arrows!"

Once the enemy cavalry charged close, Huang Kuang gave the order.

The guards beside him then fired crossbow bolts.

At such close range, the crossbow bolt pierced the cavalryman's body directly. A scream was heard, and the cavalryman immediately fell from his horse. With an even more intense scream, he quickly fell silent.

The grain transport wagons were specially reinforced on the outside by Gao Yu's craftsmen, so that they could be used as barricades to stop the cavalry charge when turned sideways.

The moment Huang Kuang and his men turned the grain wagons sideways, the cavalry's charge was doomed to failure.

The opposing cavalry seemed to have noticed something amiss, and after approaching the wagon formation, they were forced to split to the left and right, with shouts of retreat constantly erupting from one of them.

Once cavalry loses their mobility, they become sitting ducks.

But by then it was too late.

They were originally charging in a straight line, but when they suddenly turned, their speed naturally slowed down.

Huang Kuang saw this opportunity and immediately shouted, "Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!!"

With him at the core, dozens of soldiers banded together and charged out from behind the grain carts. There were still people in front raising shields to clear the way, and if the cavalry counterattacked, they would be blocked by the shields.

Huang Kuang, holding a long spear, waited for the right moment.

His daily and nightly practice at home had already developed muscle memory, allowing him to know exactly where to thrust his spear with just a glance!
He roared angrily!
He pushed off the ground with his right foot and thrust the spear forward with a powerful thrust of his hands.

A bit of cold light arrived first, and then the gun shot out like a dragon!

The thrust struck the cavalryman precisely in the neck, and as the spear was pulled out, blood spurted out!

Huang Kuang and the others inevitably got some on their faces as well.

The smell of blood, on the contrary, further stimulated them, making them even more excited.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!"

These are all meritorious deeds!
Someone took the lead. On the other side, some daring individuals banded together and charged out from behind the chariots, raising their swords against the cavalrymen who had lost their mobility!

"Damn it!"

"Withdraw! Withdraw!"

"Have we encountered the Xuanjia Army?"

Upon hearing someone shout "Xuanjia Army," the cavalrymen who came to raid the supply route were terrified. They abandoned all pretense of formation and fled in panic!

Huang Kuang and his men chased after them for quite a while before finally stopping.

With an indescribable, enigmatic expression on his face, he looked around, and his comrades beside him were in the same boat.

It was as if we had crossed a hurdle and broken through a layer of paper.

He grew from a boy into a man!

"Hahaha! The general was right to tell us!"

"As long as we can perform like we do in training, no one can defeat us!"

Looking at the defeated and disheveled figures of the enemy cavalry, Huang Kuang wore a contemptuous expression, "What we faced before was a genuine charge by the Xuanjia Army!!"

"Even the Xuanjia Army couldn't break through our defenses, how dare you?"

of course……

When practicing martial arts, you can't actually fight.

The Xuanjia Army was merely putting on a show, but the results they achieved were quite remarkable.

"Quickly count the wounded, see if there are any survivors, and capture them. We have done a great service this time!!"

Huang Kuang's face was full of the joy of his achievement!
We've really struck it rich!

The cavalrymen were all clad in armor, and their armor and surviving warhorses were all spoils of war.

………………

Hou Yuan was inspecting the military camp when he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the east gate, and he couldn't help but frown.

"What happened?"

"General, the cavalry that went out to raid the supply lines have returned to camp."

"Oh? Did you find anything?"

Hou Yuan asked casually, and was quite surprised when he learned the result.

"Only half of the five hundred cavalrymen returned?"

"The Xuanjia Army? Why would Mohedu send his elite Xuanjia Army to escort supplies?"

"What on earth happened?!"

He immediately ordered a cavalryman to be summoned to his side. After learning the whole story, he was horrified!
Faced with a cavalry attack, they were able to quickly form ranks without panic, and even had the courage to fight back!

What elite troops!
Are all Shandong soldiers this brave?
Liu Taozhi quickly gave Heba Yun a wink, and Heba Yun understood immediately and said, "It must be the Xuanjia Army. Mo Heduo is very cautious in his military operations, so he naturally attaches great importance to the supply lines. He also knows that our army has a large number of cavalry, so it is normal for him to send the Xuanjia Army to escort the supplies."

Hou Yuan was skeptical, but ultimately chose to believe.

The main problem is that what these soldiers said was too outrageous.

Having led troops for many years, Hou Yuan knew very well that for an infantryman to achieve this level of skill, he would have to be a battle-hardened veteran.

Shandong has been peaceful for many years, so where did so many battle-hardened elites come from?
Liu Taozhi breathed a slight sigh of relief, but Heba Yun was also shocked. With Liu Taozhi by his side, he knew more than Hou Yuan.

The Prime Minister is so wary.

Unexpectedly, Moheduo actually trained a brave and skilled elite infantry in Shandong.

If that's the case.

Seeking refuge with Mohedu would be a wise choice.

If the Prime Minister is defeated in the future, he can still speak up for Hebasheng and Hebayue, given the abilities of the three brothers.

Given Gao Yu's magnanimity and breadth of mind, he might even give them important positions.

No...

We need to find an opportunity to send a trusted confidant to communicate with Hebasheng and Hebayue.
