The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

Coincidentally, Jia Huan's cavalry is best at small-scale scouting operations!

With Jia Huan leading the charge with his bow, the soldiers under his command were eager to make a name for themselves. When they encountered enemy scouts, they immediately charged forward with shouts.

The Hu cavalry on the other side were not to be outdone, and immediately spurred their horses and charged back with their swords drawn.

As a result, before they even directly collided, the Hu cavalry, whose momentum was the strongest and who seemed the most imposing, fell to Jia Huan's sharpshooting with screams.

The previously high morale seemed to have been doused with cold water, and immediately weakened.

What followed was a one-sided massacre and pursuit by Jia Huan's scout cavalry.

In particular, the military officers leading the teams were all highly skilled in martial arts and had considerable combat power!

With the support of his cavalry, and with the enemy's morale plummeting and their minds in disarray, he was like a tiger among sheep, unstoppable and virtually unimpeded.

Even if some Hu cavalry wanted to temporarily rebel, a single horseman or two could not cause any ripples against the organized and disciplined slaughter of the Daqian cavalry.

One by one, the scattered barbarian cavalrymen were wiped out, leaving not a single survivor!

This was a tacit understanding between Jia Huan and his soldiers: no prisoners would be taken!

It wasn't that they were cruel and bloodthirsty, but rather that it was a retaliatory measure taken against the Hu cavalry.

Jia Huan's cavalry saw many villages ravaged and even massacred by the Hu cavalry. The tragic deaths of the people of Daqian were so horrific that they brought tears to the eyes of anyone who saw or heard of them.

Each of them was filled with rage and determined to kill those barbarian cavalry!

In this way, Jia Huan's cavalry, after only six or seven days of fighting, annihilated nearly a thousand Hu cavalrymen in one fell swoop.

The other party naturally realized something was wrong and immediately took countermeasures.

However, the Daqian cavalry had already experienced a series of battles, and their combat experience and combat strength had improved rapidly.

Right now, even against a force of less than a hundred Hu cavalry, Jia Huan doesn't need to personally intervene. His few centurions alone can easily defeat the enemy.

Don't forget, the strength of these hundred generals is truly remarkable.

He was nothing compared to Jia Huan, but against an equal number of Hu cavalry, he was an incredibly powerful general, capable of slaying enemy generals and capturing their flags.

Their previous training at the Beijing Garrison gave them experience in coordinated combat, and their combat capabilities were naturally quite impressive.

Even when the Hu cavalry realized what was happening and began to form forces of two hundred, three hundred, or even five hundred riders, Jia Huan's side showed no fear whatsoever.

For some reason, the opposing Hu cavalry never seemed to regroup completely.

It seemed as if they were cooperating with Jia Huan's cavalry, giving them the opportunity to defeat them one by one.

Despite the increasing casualties of Jia Huan's troops, they consistently maintained a numerical advantage in local battles.

shhhhhh...

In a battle involving hundreds of cavalry, Jia Huan naturally couldn't leave it entirely to his men to handle freely.

He organized several dozen cavalrymen with decent archery skills into his own hands, and had them constantly patrol the perimeter during battle. Once he detected a weakness in the enemy, he would unleash a volley of arrows.

In particular, Jia Huan's arrows almost never missed their mark.

The targets were precisely the fierce cavalry of the nomadic tribes, as well as those who resembled military officers.

It is conceivable that the successive killings of warriors and military officers among the Hu cavalry dealt a significant blow to the morale of the Hu cavalry, thus creating favorable conditions for the subordinate cavalry to annihilate the enemy.

They engaged in three battles involving hundreds of cavalrymen, each ending in a complete victory for the Daqian cavalry.

At this moment, the remaining Hu cavalry finally reacted and hurriedly gathered together to protect themselves.

At this time, the total number of all the Hu cavalry was only a little over nine hundred!

Of course, Jia Huan's cavalry force numbered only a little over six hundred.

Two cavalrymen collided not far from a gap in the Great Wall.

"Kill them! Slaughter all these barbarian cavalry!"

Jia Huan shouted and spurred his horse into a charge, leading the charge. His more than 600 riders followed suit and launched a swift attack.

Boom boom boom...

The sound of horses' hooves was deafening, and dust flew up, making the earth tremble slightly.

Even when they were still more than two hundred paces apart, Jia Huan had already drawn his bow and nocked an arrow. One after another, the arrows, like shooting stars, whistled through the air with an incomparably chilling killing intent.

The next moment, the thousand Hu cavalrymen who were also lined up and galloping at full speed, the strongest and most ferocious Hu cavalrymen at the front, fell down without uttering a sound, causing a violent commotion among their companions!

With a forty-five-pound iron spear in hand, he soared up and down, left and right, like a dragon emerging from the sea, rampaging domineeringly and arrogantly.

Jia Huan spurred his horse forward, unstoppable as if cutting through waves.

They directly tore a gap in the dense ranks of the Hu cavalry.

The Daqian cavalry following behind surged in like tigers descending a mountain.

Wherever Jia Huan's spear pointed, there was almost no one who could withstand a single blow!

Neither the sharp saber nor the heavy mace could stop the iron spear in the slightest.

The iron spear swept across left and right like a dragon, and the Hu cavalrymen who blocked his way were sent flying to both sides with screams.

In a short while, they reached the center of the Hu cavalry, and with a sudden thrust of their blood-stained spearheads, easily pierced the leather armor on the chest of the leading Hu cavalry general.

With a flick of his wrist, he sent the creature flying, leaving it in a daze of disbelief.

The next moment, his steed galloped past, instantly piercing through the not-so-thick Hu cavalry's central army.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Jia Huan had directly broken through the entire Hu cavalry formation.

The Daqian cavalry following behind quickly expanded their gains, shouting and yelling wildly, each one filled with murderous intent and high fighting spirit, brimming with confidence in victory.

In fact, the outcome of the battle was predetermined from the very beginning.

When military strength is roughly equal, if one side has a peerless general in command, the scales of victory will tip to one side very early on.

The battle lasted for more than two hours before it was completely over!

The actual battle lasted less than half an hour, with too much time was wasted on chasing down fleeing enemies.

In this battle, the Daqian cavalry annihilated more than 900 enemy soldiers, while suffering more than 300 casualties themselves, which can be described as a great victory!

The captured combat items were worth over 1.5 million, an absolute windfall!

The battle report was sent to the capital by express courier, causing a sensation among the officials and people of the capital.

To everyone's surprise, the three thousand barbarian cavalry that had been causing headaches for the Great Qian Dynasty and local officials were easily wiped out by Jia Huan's troops in less than half a month.

What puzzled the officials and people of the capital even more was that Jia Huan's troops numbered just over a thousand!

What does this mean? It means that the 8,000 cavalrymen from the Beijing garrison sent out before were all useless.

It was like a resounding slap in the face, leaving the cavalry commander of the Beijing garrison with a burning pain in his cheek.

If Jia Huan were someone without connections or influence, he would have offended all the high-ranking officers of the Beijing cavalry this one time, and his future days would definitely be difficult.

However, Jia Huan came from the Rong Mansion, a noble family, and was considered one of their own.

Even if you're really unhappy, you can only swallow your frustration!

Today, I am naturally overjoyed. I never expected Jia Huan to be so capable!

Moreover, he achieved a complete victory against a force of one thousand against three thousand, making him an exceptionally talented general.

To his even greater surprise, the spoils of war that Jia Huan secretly sent him totaled 1.5 million taels of silver.

He was extremely satisfied with Jia Huan.

Even after learning that Jia Huan and his thousand cavalrymen had shared another 1.5 million taels of spoils, they were still quite happy.

Unexpectedly, sending Jia Huan not only easily solved the problem of his trusted confidant, but also brought in an extra 1.5 million taels of silver. What more could be said?

If it weren't for the strong opposition from the cabinet leaders and the heads of the Five Military Commissions, the current emperor would have preferred to directly appoint Jia Huan to the position of a general of the second rank.

Even so, when Jia Huan returned to the capital with less than four hundred cavalry, the emperor still gave him a huge surprise, granting him the position of a third-rank military officer in the capital garrison.

In other words, his rank and position were now equivalent.

According to the old military rules, if Jia Huan, the top martial arts champion, were to be sent to a post outside the capital, he would be lucky to get a rank of fifth-grade garrison commander with real power.

If one is even luckier, one might get a fourth-rank military officer position, which is highly valued in this era.

Currently, through a battle that appears extremely brutal to outsiders, he has directly entered the ranks of high-ranking military officers.

No wonder the civil officials in the imperial court have always been indifferent to, or rather, dissatisfied with, military officials.

Once you have military merits, your promotion speed is exceptionally fast!

Jia Huan is fifteen years old this year, and he is already a full-fledged military officer of the third rank. If he accumulates more merits in the future, wouldn't he be able to join the ranks of first-rank officials at the age of twenty?

Of course, military generals can rise rapidly due to their military achievements, but the risks involved are also extremely high.

Otherwise, so many famous generals in history would have died for the almost intractable crime of "being too powerful and overshadowing the emperor."

At least at this point, Jia Huan seemed to have a lot of potential in this area.

With the addition of Jia Cong, who also performed exceptionally well and was now holding the rank of a third-grade guerrilla commander, the Rong Mansion's twin stars showed signs of rapidly rising in the military.

After Jia Huan returned to the capital to receive his reward, the Ning and Rong mansions immediately held a seven-day banquet to celebrate.
