Chapter 214 Changle Camp

When Liu Bang arrived at Gao Nu, Lu Tai's Changle Camp had already been stationed outside the city.

As early as more than half a year ago, Lu Ze had returned to the position of the county magistrate of Sanchuan County. However, Lu Ze's eldest son Lu Tai was left in Xianyang by Liu Bang and appointed as the Changle School Captain by Liu Bang. Since Lu Tai took office, he has selected nearly 10,000 young and strong men from the inner historian, northern, Shangjun, Longxi, and Sanchuan counties to train Changle Camp! []

Changle Camp is not only the imperial guards and cavalry that protects Changle Palace, but also Liu Bang's personal guards and cavalry.

After more than half a year of hard training, nearly half of the young and strong men were eliminated, leaving only more than 5,000 cavalry. Until now, Changle Camp has become an elite light cavalry.

Due to the stimulation of Xiangzhuang, Liu Bang began to spend a lot of effort to train cavalry. The Han army mainly trained three cavalry units, one was Guan Ying's 8,000 cavalry, which was usually stationed in the north to defend against the harassment of Yuezhi, the other was the Changle Camp of Lutai, and the remaining one was the Longxi camp where Liu Bang was personally stationed. The largest number was 20,000 cavalry.

This time, when he sent troops to Shangjun to fight against the Xiongnu, in addition to Guanying Cavalry and Lutai's Changle Camp, Liu Bang also drew 5,000 elite cavalry from Longxi Camp, totaling more than 18,000 cavalry. Although he was still at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, this was a battle in Guanzhong. The Han army could get support from infantry and had intelligence advantages, so the disadvantage was not obvious.

At the command of Lu Tai, each unit and each cemetery quickly gathered and soon formed a neat cavalry formation.

When Liu Bang slowly walked past the queue of Changle Camp surrounded by Zhang Liang, Chen Ping and dozens of generals, the one presented them was definitely an elite army with high spirits and spirits. After seeing this, Liu Bang couldn't help but feel relieved, and he felt even more moved. This was really a dog-free son in the general.

However, Liu Bang thought of his sons again.

Compared with the children of the Lu family, Liu Bang's sons, whether they were Liu Fei, Liu Ying, who was born by Lu Zhi, or Liu Ruyi, who was born by Concubine Qi, were either mediocre and unbearable, or cowardly and weak, and could not be promoted. On the contrary, Liu B, the second son of the second brother Liu Xi, was quite a tiger-and-wolf spirit and would be a character in the future.

Thinking of this, Liu Bang couldn't help but turn around and find Liu Bian from the queue he was with.

Among the dozens of accompanying generals of Liu Bang, Liu Bian was like a crane standing out in a flock. But seeing him wearing a white robe, a white horse under his crotch, a silver spear, a purple and golden crown on his head, he had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a face like pink. What is particularly rare is that although Liu Bian was only sixteen years old, he had already grown into an eight-foot-high man.

"The King of Han is mighty!"

"The King of Han is mighty!"

"The King of Han is mighty!"

The sudden roar brought back Liu Bang's thoughts.

He suddenly turned around and saw the five thousand elite cavalry of Changle Camp beneath Lu Tai's order, neatly slid the sky with halberds or hitting the shield with swords. On the other hand, he was shouting the mighty slogan of the King of Han in a very rhythmic manner. His feelings were like a newly grown tiger calf in the forest of Proud Xiao, and a strong and stimulating aura came to his face in an instant.

"Okay, not bad, not bad, hehe." Liu Bang nodded happily.

Guan Ying, the Han army general who followed Liu Bang, was a little disdainful and said coldly: "Just like some flowery clothes, what's the use of practicing well? On the battlefield, can you scare the Huns away with a loud voice?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Tai's ears were so sharp that he heard Guan Ying's words. He immediately retorted: "Elder General Guan Ying, is it not your final decision? If the old general is not convinced, he might as well pull out your cavalry to compete with our Changle Camp. How about it?"

"Just compare, are you afraid that you are a bad boy who is not dry?" Guan Ying was furious. He was originally a hot temper. This boy Lu Tai was so mean. It would be fine to call him an old general. He also deliberately increased the tone of the word "old" in the middle, making him seem like a silly old man. How could Guan Ying stand this?

Lu Tai smiled coldly, and immediately turned around and waved his hand. The deputy general shouted loudly: "Changle Camp is mighty!"

"Changle Camp is mighty!"

"Changle Camp is mighty!"

"Changle Camp is mighty!"

The five thousand soldiers in Changle Camp immediately responded, and their arrogance was filled with excitement.

Liu Bang wrinkled and instinctively wanted to stop him, but Chen Ping stopped him with a wink. Zhang Liang rushed forward again, approached Liu Bang and whispered a few more words.

Liu Bang nodded and waved to Lu Tai immediately.

Lu Tai then raised his right hand high and clenched his fists suddenly. The clamor of the five thousand soldiers suddenly stopped as if they were cut off by a knife. Seeing this scene, Guan Ying couldn't help but change his face slightly. He wouldn't say how he performed on the battlefield, but only talk about the banned posture. Changle Camp really deserves the word "elite".

Liu Bang stroked his long beard under his chin and said loudly: "The Changle Camp has only been in an army for more than half a year, but he dared to challenge General Guan Ying's elite cavalry. He is so encouraging and morale. I agree to this competition! However, no matter how much cavalry and shooting, the queue is not very meaningful. This time, it is better to kill the number of heads of the Xiongnu. How about it?"

"It's better to kill the heads of the Xiongnu!" Guan Ying faced Lu Tai and said sternly, "Lu Tai, do you dare?"

"Why don't you dare?" Lu Tai smiled faintly and said proudly, "We Changle Camp will take over this competition!"

"Okay!" Liu Bang nodded and said, "From now on three days, killing the Huns with more heads is the winner. However, I don't know where the Huns' cavalry are now, so you have to think about how to fight this battle. If you fight well and win, you will be rewarded with great consequences. If you defeat them, you will be severely punished if you lose!"

"Here!" Guan Ying, Lu Tai responded with a loud promise, and then he immediately pulled his horse and left.

Watching Guan Ying and Lu Tai each brought the cavalry away. Liu Bang asked Zhang Liang with some trepidation: "Zifang, we don't know much about the Huns. We don't know the exact number of Huns, nor do we know the habits and combat effectiveness of the Huns. Guan Ying and Lu Tai only brought a few thousand cavalry to the place. Will it be too risky?"

"The king is too worried." Zhang Liang shook his head and said calmly, "If the battlefield is in Mobei, let alone thousands of cavalry, even if Lu Tai and Guan Ying take tens of thousands of cavalry, they will be defeated! But now in Shangjun, our cavalry can get the assistance of the main infantry, and can get food and supplies along the way. Thousands of cavalry are enough."

Chen Ping also said: "From the battle report submitted by General Zhou Bo, the equipment of the Huns was actually very poor. They equipped very few iron weapons, and most of the arrow clusters were cast in bronze. The penetration was simply impossible to compare with our iron arrow clusters. Moreover, the Huns basically had no heavy equipment. Apart from digging the city walls by relying on local methods, they basically had no other means of attack."

"Chen Ping, isn't that right?" Xiahou Ying, behind Liu Bang, said disapprovingly, "If the equipment of the Huns is really so poor and the methods of attack are really so weak, how did they break through Fushi City? It should be noted that Fushi County is a big county in Shangjun. Not to mention the high and deep ditches, there are still five hundred civilian troops stationed in the city."

Chen Ping waved his hand and smiled and said, "General Xiahou doesn't know that the reason why Fushicheng was captured by the Huns is entirely because we have never dealt with the Huns before. We didn't expect that the Huns cavalry were still in Yuzhong yesterday, but today they suddenly appeared in Shangjun. They were caught off guard and were attacked by the Huns."

Zhang Liang tightened his tiger-skinned cloak and said leisurely: "In short, the king can relax his mind. With the current strength of the Huns, it would be a delusion to covet the land of Guanzhong. The Huns went south this time just to plunder, and they would never dare to go too deep into Guanzhong. If nothing unexpected happens, the Huns should have turned back now."

"Is that true?" Liu Bang immediately breathed a long sigh and said, "That's good."

To be honest, the sudden arrival of the Huns made Liu Bang nervous for a while, mainly because he was too unfamiliar with the Huns. Liu Bang had never dealt with him before, especially the Maodun Shanyu of the Huns. He heard that he was still a difficult person to deal with, but after Zhang Liang said this, Liu Bang felt relieved.

As long as the Huns did not have the strength to go south in large numbers, there would be no big problem. The Huns were only in Shangjun and burned, killed, and looted in the north. For the Han Dynasty, it was just a disease of scabies. Liu Bang could even use the attacks of the Huns to train his cavalry, just like the 100,000 elite cavalry under Zhao Limu. Isn’t that what was the result of this?

#############

Let’s talk about Lu Tai, who was taking five thousand light cavalry along the straight road and heading north.

After more than 300 miles above Gaonu, a fork appeared in front of him. Continue north along the straight path to reach Fushi. In addition, there is another path to reach Baiyu Mountain Pass.

"Wow!" Lu Tai held back the war horse and suddenly raised his right hand.

The five thousand light cavalry following Lu Tai stopped one after another.

A general had already stepped forward and asked, "General, why did you stop marching?"

"Yes, General, if Guan Ying's cavalry doesn't leave, they will catch up!" Another general also echoed.

"Don't worry, let me think about it first." Lu Tai waved his hand, then looked at the path leading to Baiyu Mountain Pass and fell into deep thought. After a while, when Guan Ying's cavalry also appeared in the south in dust, Lu Tai finally came back from his thoughts, and then pulled his horse to the west and said in a deep voice, "I order the entire army to turn the way west and go to Baiyu Mountain Pass!"

"Ah? Go to Baiyushan Pass?"

"What? Didn't the Huns spread on their skin?"

"General, this is not a joke."

The dozen generals surrounded by Lu Tai immediately looked at each other.

Lu Tai groaned, first glanced at the generals with murderous intent, and then said sternly: "What, do you need this general to say it again?"

"Here!" More than a dozen generals shivered suddenly and then replied with a loud bang.

The Changle Camp originally had nearly 10,000 people, but when it was formed, there were only more than 5,000 people left. Among the four thousand eliminated people, at least nearly 1,000 were executed for disobeying Lu Tai's military orders. Now, no one in the Changle Camp dared to disobey Lu Tai's military orders. Lu Tai Jianfeng was trying to do so, even if they knew they were dead, they had to rush forward!
