Two miles away, the sand thieves gathered again. The five thousand sand thieves are now half less, and only two thousand can be killed with a knife.

But Luo Yi's subordinates were not relaxed, not many of them died in battle, but many were injured. They had been fighting for almost three hours. Even if the people could hold on, the war horses were already depressed. This time, the Central Army General Luo Yi was ordered to send his brides and did not consider the issue of fighting. Therefore, all his subordinates were one man and one horse, unlike when fighting, one man and two horses, even three horses.

If there is not enough horse transfer and the horsepower is insufficient, this battle will be difficult to fight. In the wild cavalry battle, it is not as good as city battles, and the role of horses is greater than that of humans. If it is a dismounted and in-person battle, even if his subordinates are well-trained and well-equipped, they will only have greater pressure on the cavalry with infantry.

Not only that, he guessed that the sand thief must have reinforcements, and the number will not be too small.

From the moment the convoy was attacked, Luo Yi knew that there was trouble. In his eyes, the sand thief was just a native chicken and treacherous dog. Not only was the combat power worth mentioning, but he had extremely poor vision. But these stupid thieves who only had interests in their eyes actually dared to attack the Da Chu official army. Do you think this trouble would be small?

If no one instructed me, I wouldn't believe it. There are sand thieves who dared to attack the official army. This is the first time he has taken this golden road, but many of the seniors in the Yulin Army have walked through it. They told Luo Yi that sand thieves are threatening to the caravans, and to the official army, it's just a nonsense. As long as you bring a hundred light cavalry, you don't have to care about the sand thieves at all.

What we really need to be careful is the forty-eight plateaus west of Dingjun City, which is the most threatening existence of the empire. Every once in a while, there are small countries that cannot survive, and they are all over the country to invade the border, not seeking attacks and killing, but just to seize wealth and population.

Although the Desert Legion of General Dingxi's Mansion has 150,000 combat soldiers, the area that needs to be defended is also large. From the South China Sea line to Jiuquan, 6,000 miles from east to west and 8,000 miles from north to south, such a vast area, there are only 150,000 combat soldiers and less than 5 million Chu people, which can be said to be loopholes everywhere.

With the desert army, Dingjun City, and Zhan Fortress, it is impossible for tens of thousands of troops to cross the border, but a small group of cavalry can always find opportunities. These cavalry from the forty-eight countries on the plateau need to pay attention to Luo Yi. After all, those cavalry are real soldiers, not bandits.

Who would have thought that Luo Yi's bride-sending carriage would be blocked by a group of sand thieves. If it weren't for the ninth princess behind the team that needed escorts, the five thousand sand thieves in front of him would have been asked to lead him to slaughter them all long ago.

No, you can't continue the stalemate. The sand thieves can afford to wait, but Luo Yi can't. It's two thousand miles away from Dingjun City, and the wedding team of General Dingxi's mansion can be at most 500 miles away. If he wants to wait for reinforcements, it will be fast in five days.

After the reinforcements of the Shaji thief arrived, this battle could not be fought. With the Ninth Princess' convoy, Luo Yi couldn't let go of it at all.

"Calling the army, can there be a caravan in front and behind?" Luo Yi shouted loudly.

In his early fifties, the record officer with three beards joined the army and rushed forward: "Report to the general, there should be a caravan behind us, a few days later than us, and the caravan itinerary was already fixed. If a certain calculation is correct, this caravan should be a hundred miles away."

In the bride-giving convoy, not only were the 1,000 Yulin Light Cavalry whom he belonged to, but also the Ministry of Rites’ marriage envoy, the inner palace chief, the dowry clan and others. The royal daughter’s marriage has a detailed process, eighty miles a day, which is slower than the caravan. It’s not that she can’t walk fast, but that she can only walk so many according to the royal etiquette system.

Baili...

Luo Yi frowned. The distance was too far. It took only two hours to quickly horses, but there were too many cars in the caravan. No matter how fast it was, it would take half a day. I am afraid that it would be too late. If you temporarily recruit warriors in the caravan team, it would not be of much use.

He knew that there were many good players in the caravan, but they were just folk warriors. They were strong in their own force, but they did not understand the battle formation. In front of the two armies, their personal courage was not worth mentioning. Even if they were carrying light cavalry, they would not look down on those people.

The ninth-grade warriors are strong enough. Just send a team of crossbow archers to attack in three stages, and it will continue to continue. Even if they cannot be killed, it will be easy to drive them away.

In Chu Min's eyes, ninth-grade warriors are already top-notch players, but in the army, that's the case. If your personal bravery is really so strong, why do you still form an army? Just pick a group of high-grade strong men to the battlefield.

For example, among the thousands of light cavalry under his command, there was a team of full warrior soldiers. They were very powerful. This kind of strength was obtained through daily training, not entirely through personal courage.

With the 1,000 light cavalry trained by Luo Yi, he can easily massacre a thousand third-grade folk warriors, and there will not even be many casualties. This is the difference between military formations and warriors.

"Send an order, send some people to find a caravan and recruit warriors in the caravan." Even though he knew it was useless, Luo Yi could only do this. In the southwest of the empire with a vast land and sparsely populated area, it was already lucky to meet a caravan. Apart from that, who else could he count on?

Is Dingxi General's Mansion in Dingjun City? The distance is too far. Even if you have to go all out, it will take two days and two nights. In addition, the time for the return journey, the reinforcements will take as long as five days, and he can't wait.

Before the order was passed, there was chaos in the distance. A 500-man thief of sand thieves came on the horse and left. Luo Yi's eyes lit up. The thief who was leaving was a charge formation, and it was obvious that the reinforcements from the thief were not coming.

"Chen Feng's army, the Great Chu army formation, attack the team and disperse them." Luo Yi reacted very quickly. Before the team of sand thieves had left, he had already issued an order.

In the Great Chu army system, five people are in the army, ten people are in the army, hundreds are in the army, five hundred are in the army, and a thousand are in the army. One part is five hundred people.

Luo Yi's order was very timely. Chen Feng's troops charged and broke up the sand thief that had just accumulated. The sand thief did not dare to fight the light cavalry head-on, so they could only disperse.

In just a moment, dust was flying in the distance, shouting and killing the sky, and the five hundred sand thieves were ultimately unable to stop Tian Shouye’s guardian warriors.

However, it is not easy to protect the caravan. After all, they are just civilians. They are good at martial arts, but they don’t understand the military formation. Fortunately, their enemies are also scattered sand thieves. If there are five hundred Chu troops, few people will survive.

It was just a surprise attack, and in just half a quarter of an hour, Tian Shouye's guardian warrior died in battle. Fortunately, he finally broke through the interception of the Sha Thief.

After rushing past five hundred sand thieves, there was chaos in front of them. The brigade of sand thieves had been defeated by Chen Feng's troops. Chen Feng rushed to the front of the team, and when he saw Tian Shouye's troops, he immediately understood. With a wave of the silver halberd in his hand, the two light cavalry separated from each other, protecting Tian Shouye and others in the formation.

The sound of horns came from the convoy's own formation, and Chen Feng led the team around a small circle and led the team back to the formation. The Sha Thief had no intention of confronting the military formation. This time, the Sha Thief suffered a very small loss, and Chen Feng's troops were not damaged. However, the Sha Thief, who had been sent to intercept the team to guard the riot, lost nearly a hundred people.

Before Tian Shouye could come forward, Luo Yi had already come forward: "But the caravan guards? Are there only these people?"

Luo Yi felt distressed. Usually, the caravan's guards would not be as fond of him, and he would die if he died. But at this moment, he still pointed at the caravan's guards, why did only one hundred people die in battle and more than thirty more people die? What's the use of this little bit?

"The villain Changfeng gang is polite to carry the Shoutian Shouye, but General Luo Yi, the general of the Yulin Central Army?" Tian Shouye also knew that the matter was urgent and had no time to talk nonsense, so he just gave a casual greeting. After all, his identities are different.

General Zhonglang is already a general. According to the Great Chu army system, he can command three thousand troops. This is secondary. Luo Yi is quite famous in Luocheng. He is one of the three heroes of the Yulin. He is a new generation of military generals, both wise and brave.

Hmm! The most important thing is that Luo Yi's father Luo Hai is the left general of the Yulin Army.

According to the Great Chu army system, the commander of the legion is a general, and he leads a single legion. There are eight major legions of the Great Chu, and there are eight generals. In fact, there are four resigned generals in the court, who are named a general, but they no longer have the right to lead the army.

Below the general, there are the left and right generals, that is, the deputy commander of the legion commander, who can lead 50,000 troops. If there is an accident in the general, the left and right generals will take charge of the army.

Below the left and right generals is General Hu Ben, who can lead the army of 10,000. The next one is Luo Yi's General of the Central Army, who can lead the army of 3,000.

The largest one below the General of the Central Army is the Jung-Horseman. The Jung-Horseman leads one thousand troops and has two ten troops under his command.

Luo Yi is so famous that in addition to his strong strength and youthfulness, his father Luo Hai is the second-in-commander of the Yulin Army, which is also a very important reason.

"It is this general, why did only this little man come?" Luo Yi angrily rebuked. As a general of the Yulin Army, he had this power. Tian Shouye was only a rich man, how could he compare with the Great Chu General?

The General of the Central Army is already a general. He is a nobleman in Da Chu, which is what ordinary people call nobleman. Even if he does not mention his father, General Yulin Zuo Luo Hai, Luo Yi is also the lowest-level nobleman in Da Chu.

"Returning to General Luo, I met a noble man in the caravan. The noble man calculated that the princess and General Luo were in trouble, so I sent a villain to lead the way."

I have to say that as a successful businessman, Tian Shouye is quite good at speaking. He contains too much information in one sentence. If he says it to ordinary people, he may not be able to understand it.

First of all, "meeting" and "noble people" in the caravan. These are two messages. When encountering a caravan, it is naturally not a caravan, and noble people cannot be used on ordinary people.

Next is the nobleman’s “calculation”. This calculation takes very little seconds. Who can calculate? If you want to go, with Luo Yi’s level of vision, you will naturally understand the meaning of the words.

Finally, I would like to remind Luo Yi that if the princess is in trouble with you, she sent villains to "lead the way". Leading the way is naturally not to help with the war. With the strength of the caravans, even if she wants to help with the war, the role it can play is extremely limited.

The guardians have good martial arts skills. Then they use big chariots to form formations and guard the caravans. Even if they are two or three times as good as the sand thieves, they can keep them. But if they are allowed to play military formations with the sand thieves in the wild, they should forget it. Even if they count their personal martial arts, they will not be much better than the sand thieves. With the same number of people, the winner will be at most 50% of them.
