Chapter 96
Clean it all up
It was majestic and the horses' hooves were like thunder, but there was no flag flying, and the rider on the horse looked rather ragged. Others saw it and just thought it was a rogue bandit. ("", watch the latest update of this book)
But if you look closely, you will find many problems.
Isn't the war horse of these people too powerful? Not only is it strong and strong, but there is also a spiritual light in the horse's eyes. Carrying the rider and two huge packages, it still runs like flying without getting tired.
In such a state, seeing one or two of these fine war horses is nothing, but seeing thousands of them at once would be too weird.
At the same time... this group of bandits did not bring any extra horses, only one per person, and there were no spare horses at all.
"This is a bit unreasonable!"
Lying on the top of the hill, a young man dressed in the same rags looked down, watching the cavalry roaring away, with more and more questions in his mind.
"Is it possible that there is still a small group of troops and extra horses hiding somewhere else?"
With such speculation in my mind, I was thinking about how to report it to the leader when I went back. I lay there without moving, wanting to wait for a while to see if there were any changes, but I didn't see anyone passing by after lying there for a while.
With a question mark on his forehead, the young man left the hilltop quietly, and then disappeared as if he was flying.
Looking at the cavalry, they are naturally the Yulin Cavalry.
Ma Chao and Tai Shi Ci were riding side by side. Although their horses were jolting violently, it had no impact on them at all.
Not to mention the role of stirrups and other items, the riding skills of the two people are that they can move freely on the horse without these auxiliary items, not to mention these artifacts now, and the war horses have become very powerful after special training.
Smart and very understanding of human nature.
Therefore, Taishi Ci could still move freely on the horse. He glanced back and said nothing. However, Ma Chao on the side saw it and laughed: "Don't pay attention to Ziyi, he is just a bandit!"
The territory of Bingzhou is extremely chaotic. In addition to Zhang Yan, there are several groups of bandits. These bandits are lingering in the mountains and are extremely difficult to deal with. Yuan Shao has been trying to clear the place after occupying Bingzhou, but he has not yet been able to free up the area, so these mountains
The thief lived a relatively happy life.
However, in Ma Chao's opinion, these thieves will not be happy for long.
Not to mention Yuan Shao, who has already defeated Gongsun Zan, even if Yuan Shao cannot deal with them, when the imperial army arrives, these thieves will either be wiped out, or they will take the initiative to become ordinary people. There is absolutely no third way waiting for them./

Because His Majesty takes the "suppression of bandits" very seriously, so he doesn't mind sending his most elite soldiers and horses to deal with those thieves who are like chickens and dogs, even if he consumes a lot of food, grass and weapons for this purpose.
, the purpose of the picture is to be pure.
While they were talking, everyone had already reached their destination. Looking at the almost undefended cities and counties in the distance, Zhang Liao suddenly felt that this battle was a farce.
One side had almost no defensive power, and they did not expect to be attacked by the enemy so soon, so they were unprepared.
The other side was full of elites. Although the cavalry was not good at attacking the city, they were caught off guard because the other side was unprepared.
There was nothing to hinder the cavalry assault outside the city, and there were not enough soldiers posted on the city tower. Even the city gate had not had time to close. It was possible to close the door in a hurry, but there was nothing blocking the city gate.
To Zhang Liao and others, the gate is simply a thin plate.
"Meng Qi!"
"General, don't worry!"
Ma Chao rushed out, swung the spear in his hand, and twitched his right hand as if pulling out another length from the end of the spear. Then he held the javelin upside down in his hand. After condensing all his strength, he saw a dazzling white light on the javelin. As Ma Chao fiercely
It was thrown forward, and a brilliant brilliance went straight to the city gate.
There was a loud bang, and the huge city gate was blown open by this blow. The huge city gate flew a long way into the city, crushing some of the soldiers who were arriving into meat patties.
.
"With my horse Mengqi here, it won't be difficult to attack the city with cavalry!"
With a proud smile, Ma Chao rushed forward. The two thousand Yu Linqi under his tent had already followed him. He put away his bow and arrows and drew out the sword from his waist. Yuan Shaojun on the city wall only saw a gorgeous scene.
The sword flashed, and it was as if a shining silver river suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, rushing towards the city gate under his feet.
Looking at the now-shattered city gate, the city tower under their feet could not give everyone any sense of security. They opened their mouths to shout something, but found that they had no idea what to say.
After just a moment of confusion, a dense rain of arrows came down on their heads and faces. This time, no one had to worry. The rain of arrows that covered the sky directly killed most of the defenders on the city tower.
"How is it possible? So far?"
A captain who was lucky enough to just avoid a round of arrows stared at the enemy who fired arrows from a long distance away. The fact that the arrows could reach the city wall at such a distance made him feel that he had no chance at all.
It was a nightmare, because everything that happened today was beyond his knowledge.
Whether it was the unknown object that emitted a white light and directly destroyed the city gate, or the rain of arrows that started to kill the soldiers defending the city from a very far away...
In fact, after several years of training, the soldiers of the Yulin Cavalry have already developed arm strength far beyond that of ordinary people. After their arm strength is strengthened, the strong bows that were previously unusable are like toys in their hands. The Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court
Craftsmen were recruited and a large number of more powerful bows were specially made to meet the needs of the Yulin Cavalry.
But strong bows are not a big deal, how can they be so easy to make? The 5,000 strong bows of Yu Linqi almost consumed all the production materials stored by the imperial court, which barely met the needs of Yu Linqi, and according to Yu Linqi's
The current rate of progress of cavalry soldiers will not exceed three years at most, and this batch of strong bows will be eliminated.
Liu Xuan has asked the Weapon Refining Department to step up research on how to use Xuanmen methods to make more powerful strong bows. It is best to make some modifications based on the current long bows. Liu Xuan did not make any suggestions on this matter. He just wanted to
Let's see if the Weapon Refining Department can solve some of the more difficult problems.
This can also be regarded as a test for the Weapon Refining Department.
In short... the Yulin Cavalry has only shown some of its strength at present, but even if it is just this, it is not something that an ordinary garrison in the county can withstand.
What's more, all the elites in the county were taken away by Yan Liang, and there was not even a general who could calm the situation. In this case, when Ma Chao rushed to the city with his cavalry and was about to enter the city, the soldiers who defended the city all expressed their surrender.
It's not difficult to understand.
"Tsk!"
Looking at the group of soldiers in front of him who had no will to resist at all, Ma Chao felt very bored. However, he did not have the energy to pay attention to these guys at the moment. Instead, he led the cavalry and continued to rush in, and then conveniently caught a man who looked like a school captain in his hands.
, holding the man's armor with one hand, he asked: "Where is the warehouse?"
The captain was lifted up in the air and his face turned pale with fright. When he heard the young general's question, he didn't hesitate at all and blurted out everything he knew.
Not only the warehouse, but also the government offices, workshops, arsenals and other places were not missed. After hearing this, Ma Chao threw the man to the ground: "Spare your life!" He patted his horse and ran towards the direction of the grain depot.
As for the arsenal? That was what Tai Shici wanted to solve, and Zhang Liao controlled the entire county during this period - he didn't care about the people in the city or the defeated soldiers fleeing, because even without these people to report the news, it won't be long before Yan Liang and Wen Chou
You will realize that you have been tricked, and then turn around to rescue.
What he has to do is to finish what he has to do quickly: "Don't worry about the fields or anything for now, just take advantage of the situation and take care of it before we leave!"
The fields cannot be in the city, most of them are outside the city, and some are not close enough, so the targets in the city should be solved first.
Empty the arrows in the arsenal. As for other weapons, it is easier to deal with them. Just throw them into the quiver, and the quiver will automatically break them into arrows.
Watching the Yulin cavalry soldiers laughing and joking as they kept filling their quivers, Taishi Ci found the scene in front of him particularly interesting.
The huge arsenal contains enough weapons to arm ten thousand people on the spot, and there are countless arrows, wood and other things. These are all stored in the arsenal for a long time and can be accessed at any time. Now they are all cheaper.
ride.
In comparison, the warehouse storing grain on the other side seems a lot more troublesome - Liu Xuan is interested in equipping the Yulin Cavalry with a special package for storing grain, but considering the current manufacturing capacity of the Refining Department, he wants to make one
This kind of thing wastes too much time, and the long manufacturing cycle and the inability to mass produce restricted his idea, so currently the Yulin Cavalry can only carry food.
Because of this, the regular establishment of the Yulin Cavalry was not five thousand horses. Each soldier was equipped with an extra war horse specifically to carry rations and water. However, this time the extra war horses were not brought along for the attack.
After all, in the original plan, there was no intention to cause such a big fuss.
Only a small part of the grain in the granary was taken. Seeing that the soldiers had brought enough rations again, Zhang Liao and others immediately ordered the grain and grass to be burned together with the warehouse.
At the same time, the Yu Linqi who had been replenished dispersed and began to destroy all the workshops in the city. After finishing all this, it was already dusk. Zhang Liao did not let the soldiers rest. Instead, he directly gathered the entire army and left the county seat, taking advantage of the situation.
The surrounding fields have been severely damaged - it can be expected that Anyi may not even have enough food and grass for its own needs by the time of the autumn harvest.
After calculating the time, Zhang Liao found that there was still enough time, so he called Ma Chao and Tai Shi Ci to him and asked: "I estimate that Yan Liang should have received the news and rushed back, and Wen Chou should also be heading here. Next, we
All we have to do is ambush...who do you think is more suitable to ambush?"
Ma Chao waved his hand indifferently after hearing this: "Why do you still think so much? Just deal with these two people!"
