Chapter 343
"New information is here!" In Linjing County, Han Sui used the new information to find Bian Zhang and others. "The Han army planned to use harassment method to harass us day and night..."
"We have more than 100,000 people, and there is nothing to do on duty. But the opponent's continuous attacks day and night can hold on?" Beigong Boyu sneered at this. Could this Han army be ignorant?
"Information says that they were divided into two soldiers and horses to harass them, all of which were cavalry attacking at night. The other one launched harassing at daytime." Han Sui replied immediately, "The above also stated that the soldiers and horses at night can also see things normally at night. At the same time, it also said that if they can, we can find a way to eat this soldiers."
"Just sending information, why should he call us?" Bian Zhang sneered, while Beigong Boyu seemed to be thinking.
"Four thousand war horses, plus armor and weapons, and big yellow crossbows all require two hundred pairs, and the benefits are actually quite good..." Han Sui reminded.
"There are all big yellow crossbows. Who will command this Han army? It's not a royal relative, right?" Beigong Boyu was stunned, and then showed his longing eyes. He wanted the big yellow crossbow so much.
Every time the grassland nation wants to enter the Han Dynasty, the last thing they want to face is the arrow formation of the yellow crossbow. The range of that thing is more than twice that of their bows and arrows. With the same range, the leather armor on their bodies is useless and has no defensive effect at all.
The Han people's horses have indeed become fewer and fewer in recent decades, but their rhododendrons are still sharp. They can't beat them and they can't catch up with them, but they can't ignore the existence of rhododendrons.
If so, Beigong Boyu hopes to get a batch of yellow crossbows back and find ways to create them. It doesn’t matter if the power is lower, so that he can dominate the grassland.
"Of course, our cavalry is ours. Do you have no objection?" After thinking about this, Beigong Boyu immediately expressed his opinion, as if he was afraid that others would rob it.
"Haha..." Han Sui smiled faintly and did not express his opinion.
"What's so funny?" Beigong Boyu was immediately unhappy. If he had to make the uprising justified, he would not have planned to engage these so-called famous scholars in Liangzhou at the beginning.
Especially Han Sui, he looked like a very cunning fox. Anyway, the more he touched him, the more uncomfortable he felt.
"Bigong leader, didn't you ask what this army is from?" Han Sui smiled, "It's really up to you. This commander is a relative of the Han Dynasty, General Zhenbei, Prefect of Yunzhong, and Duting Hou Liu Tao. This time he went south as a guest army to support him. He led his men to defeat the ambush in Qi County before."
Han Sui said that, everyone's expressions changed. After all, 4,000 people defeated tens of thousands of people, or raided on rainy nights. This is indeed a bit incredible. How did the other party know that there were ambushes over there and how could they launch a raid on rainy nights...
I even once doubted whether there were spies inside to inform the Han army. Now I know that the Han general who planned to attack at night was the rainy night man outside Qi County, so I naturally treated him with caution.
"Actually, there is no need to be so nervous..." Han Sui smiled and said, "This time they come to steal the camp, so we might as well let them steal the camp. Use calm to control the movement, so that they will never come back!"
"Yes, we knew their situation in advance, but they knew nothing about us, and just caught them off guard!" Beigong Boyu laughed, and the rest of the people agreed.
Therefore, the ambush plan for Liu Tao was already launched on the thief camp. At the same time, the thoughts on when to fight the Han army were also carried out. They didn't like it, so they stayed in Linjing County...
One thing is necessary to find out the facts of the Han army. After all, I heard that the Han army had changed its generals and the number of people increased, so Han Sui said that he should keep his troops in motion for a while, understand some of the situation of the Han army, and then make a decision. Then, by facing the Three Auxiliary troops, the Han army dared not move easily. In fact, half of them plundered in the rear and kept transporting materials to the front.
In other words, the current thieves in Linjing County are only about 70,000. If they are not worried, what are they waiting for? They will directly attack the Sanfu, invade Chang'an, and look at Luoyang from afar!
This is due to Liu Tao's ambush in a busy arrangement, but Liu Tao is not slow, heading west from Yinpan County, and even walking on the official road. There is nothing to do. From Linjing County to the east, you can detour from Yinpan County halfway and pass through Linjing County west, and then there is only one official road left.
Just along the Jing River, there are stretching mountains in the south of Linjing. They lean north on the Jing River. The entire city is like Luoyang, set across the Jing River and relies on the Jing River for transportation.
In theory, the thieves should be still west of Linjing. If they want to continue to move south, then Linjing County must be defeated. So long has passed, and I don’t know if they have captured it?
If they have already been defeated, it will be difficult for the officers and soldiers to support the east if they are stationed in Linjing. After all, Linjing is actually surrounded by mountains, and the mountains are relatively high in altitude, which is not suitable for cavalry charges at all.
At first, Liu Tao planned to use Yinpan County as the place for the decisive battle to attract the thieves to go south. However, the thieves did not go south, and Zhang Wen was too lazy to wait and asked them to use night attacks to attract the thieves. Liu Tao was willing to refuse, but he didn't know how to refuse.
"General, this road is really fine?" Sun Jian had no choice but to ask. After leaving Yinpan County, he should go north along the local road, enter the official road and go west, and finally arrive in Linjing County. This is the basic way to go.
However, Liu Tao led everyone from Yinpan to the west all the way. Now the official road is not counted. It is a path that villagers walk out with their feet. I don’t know if there is any problem.
"We have the only way to go!" Liu Tao said angrily, "Did you just go east of Linjing County and fight with the thieves head-on? Didn't you specifically seconded three thousand civilians and help you open the way?"
"But no one has walked this road before, and you may get lost if you are not careful." Sun Jian had to remind him. Another point is that from Tuyu, there are mountains in the south of Linjing County, and they estimated that the last section of the road would cross mountains and ridges.
"You think it's hard to leave, so of course the thieves are even more impossible to guess. We will kill from the mountains in the south!" Liu Tao smiled, "Didn't we let us attack? Of course we will prepare well, but the thieves' positions in the east of Linjing County will be left to Dong Zhuo to take charge, and I will take charge of the south!"
There is only one official road, and the Jing River is next to it. If you want to harass me, you can only go here. You don’t have to think about it. The thieves will inevitably increase the defense in the east of Linjing County to address this situation.
If the raid does not constitute a raid, then what's the point? Especially if they are still cavalrymen, they will not be able to rush forward and be plotted against by the thieves, so he won't be so stupid.
"Sun Sima, we have tried our best to find local villagers to lead the way, and there should be no Yu in the direction issue." Guo Jia stepped forward to add.
