Cao Liang is still happy to accept this "unexpected" situation, after all, grain and grass are the lifeblood of an army, which is very important.

In Guandu, why the powerful Yuan Shao was finally defeated by Cao Cao was because Cao Cao seized the opportunity and burned the grain and grass that Yuan Shao had accumulated in the black nest in one fell swoop.

But Sima Yi is not Yuan Shao, Sima Yi can be known as "the little strong who can't be killed", indomitable, such a little setback is obviously impossible to knock him down.

Under normal circumstances, after losing grain and grass, Sima's army should shrink its forces and slowly retreat to guard against possible attacks by the enemy, and wait until sufficient grain and grass have been raised before marching.

However, Sima Yi did the opposite, not retreating but advancing, to the point that he had the determination and posture to fight against the water, which was not only contrary to common sense, but also unexpected by everyone.

Of course, Cao Liang didn't expect such a little blow to break Sima Yi's will, Sima Yi had been preparing for this decisive battle for so long, it was obvious that he was unwilling to retreat so easily, relying on the advantage of troops, Sima Yi forcibly marched into the army, trying to solve the battle quickly, Cao Liang of course would not easily fall for him.

In the face of the menacing intention of the Sima army, Cao Liang adopted the method of avoiding the real and making the virtual one, using the width of the battlefield and the mobility of the cavalry, to fully carry out roundabout battles, and not to confront the Sima army head-on, so as to consume the spirit of the Sima army.

Now Sima Jun is more impatient emotionally because of the lack of food, and they even hope that the victory or defeat can be decided in a battle, and it does not take too much time.

Cao Liang's plan is naturally the opposite of the enemy, Sima Yi wants to fight quickly, of course his own side can't let him get his wish, Cao Liang first sent the strongest mobile cavalry battalion to deal with the enemy.

The cavalry battalion is all light cavalry, speed and maneuverability are its strengths, in the Jinzhong Plain, the cavalry battalion is familiar with the terrain here, and can make full use of this, dragging down the cavalry of the Sima army and consuming their time.

The Yue Cavalry Battalion and the Tun Cavalry Battalion were temporarily hidden by Cao Liang, as the two cavalry with the strongest attack power, they would play the role of the battlefield terminator, and would deal a fatal blow to Sima's army when necessary.

Now that Sima Jun's food and grass are scarce, and supplies are difficult, which is conducive to a quick battle and not conducive to a protracted war, Cao Liang only sent a cavalry battalion to meet the battle, the purpose is to prevent Sima Yi from wishing.

But for Wen Qin, this task is not easy at all, after all, there are only 10,000 cavalry in the Xiao cavalry battalion, and in the face of the 70,000 cavalry of Sima Jun, the number of cavalry is extremely different.

This battle is also the first battle after the equipment upgrade of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and this will also be a very tough battle, but for the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, they uphold the heritage of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, on the battlefield, they never know how to write the word fear, when receiving the order, Wen Qin proudly obeyed, on behalf of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion accepted the first order.

When Wen Qin brought the military order back to the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, the entire Xiao Cavalry Battalion became boiling, and the crowd was passionate and warlike.

Although Cao Yan has passed away, the army of the king he brought out has not fallen silent because of this, this battle will also be a battle of revenge, the cavalry battalion wants to avenge their general, and Sima Jun wants to pay for his blood debts.

Today's Xiao Riding Battalion, in addition to replacing the two harnesses of Takahashi saddle and bilateral stirrups, the horseshoe is also in place, and the war horses of the entire state now have such a configuration.

Don't look at the horseshoe is just a piece of iron with a circular arc, it can't be simpler, but for war horses, it is a vital thing, which is of great significance to prolong the service life of horses.

Horseshoe, also known as horseshoe, is an iron hoof nailed to the hooves of horses, cattle and other livestock. The horse's hooves are composed of two layers, the one that touches the ground is a layer of hard keratin about 2-3 cm thick, and the upper layer is **. The horse's hooves are in contact with the ground, and they will fall off quickly due to the friction of the ground and the corrosion of the water. The use of horseshoes not only protects the horse's hooves, but also makes the horse's hooves grip the ground more firmly, which is beneficial for both riding and driving.

Invented and improved by the Romans, horseshoes were already popular as early as the first century BC, but they do not seem to have been used in ancient China until the Mongols ruled Eurasia.

Since Cao Liang had built a Takahashi saddle and bilateral stirrups in advance, he naturally made the small object of the horseshoe easily.

Although the horseshoe is small, it is an indispensable and important horse harness, isn't there a popular proverb in the West, if you lose a nail, you lose a shoe; dropped a farrier and broke a warhorse; broke a war horse and fell to the death of a general; fell to the death of a general and suffered a defeat; Suffered a defeat and lost a country. Regardless of whether it is true or fake, horseshoe is an important drop.

The greatest contribution of the horseshoe is that it allows the war horse to travel long distances, and because of this, the cavalry has truly become the main force with strong combat effectiveness and long-lasting combat capability.

In addition to these three horse harnesses, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion has also been upgraded in terms of the weapons and equipment of the riders, due to the attributes of the light cavalry, the weapons and equipment of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion are very different from those of the Yue Cavalry Battalion.

First of all, in order to reduce the weight to the greatest extent, the cavalry battalion abandoned the iron armor worn in the past, and all the leather armor was used, which was light and flexible.

For this reason, in the selection of personnel, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion also selects some thinner riders as much as possible, and eliminates some large ones, so as to further ensure that the load of the war horses tends to be consistent.

In the choice of weapons, it is also based on light and flexible swords, equipped with light and long qiang, in addition, any excess load is discarded, so that the speed of the war horse can be increased to the limit as much as possible.

After remodeling, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion has been built into a new light cavalry team by Cao Liang, and this battle will also officially review the combat ability of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion.
