Chapter 18: Nobles' Means
The three masters of Yulin were not proclaimed. Luo Yi not only had a high talent in martial arts, but reached the peak of the ninth grade at less than 30 years old, but also was good in the entire Great Chu. In terms of command and political affairs, influenced by his father at home, he was also very clear-headed.
As soon as Tian Shouye finished speaking, Luo Yi understood it, but he was surprised. What does this lead the way mean?
"Good! You're here to lead the way." It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Look first, the situation can't get worse anyway. What made him most moved was that the noble man Tian Shouye mentioned looked unusual. The situation in front of him was not instantly. If you come, you don't have to ask in detail. When you wait for a safe place, you need to ask carefully.
Secret Master? It’s impossible. Every year, information about discovering secret masters is reported, but 99% are fake. In the past ten years, only those two secret masters in Da Chu are real.
"Please give orders to leave a group of people to block the sand thieves, and accelerate the convoy and walk along the way. It doesn't need to be too far. Six to seven miles are enough." Tian Shouye said.
Just go forward six or seven miles? This is not difficult. Although the convoy was targeted by the sand thief, the sand thief has been crippled after three hours of battle. Even if he is entangled, he can only slow down the convoy. It is impossible to completely entangle the convoy.
This is also the arrogant Sha Thief, who thought that with five times the troops, he could break the military formation and plunder the Ninth Princess. If they came up, they would just fight. Luo Yi really had no choice but to do anything to them, after all, the military strength was insufficient.
"Tell me that Xu Yan's troops block the enemy and retreat slowly. The convoy advances at full speed and the target is ten miles away." As the order was issued, the caravan to whom Tian Shouye was guarding the road ahead. The convoy accompanied him, Chen Feng's troops guarded and Xu Yan's troops blocked the enemy.
A team of more than a thousand people was busy but not chaotic. Tian Shouye felt envious when he looked at it. As expected, he was still the regular army of the empire, and the caravan could not compare with it. Every morning when the convoy traveled, even if there were rules, it was still in chaos. It would not stop if he didn't mess around for a quarter of an hour. It would be great to be able to get on the road in half an hour.
In fact, this is incomparable. The convoy is composed of multiple gangs, which is quite chaotic. If you want to enforce orders like a regular army, you can't do anything. Moreover, the army in front of you is the most elite Yulin Army of the Great Chu Empire, and among the eight major legions, it is also the number one strong army.
The Shaji was indeed unwilling to give up. In addition to partially restraining Xu Yan's troops from the front, small troops were also sent on both sides to constantly harass them. They did not dare to fight in close combat, but only attacked with cavalry. The Shaji was also skilled in bows and horses, but their equipment was not good.
Yulin Light Cavalry, man and horse wearing armor, long halberds in his hands, horizontal swords at his waist, and horses hanging on their bows. Ranged weapons are much better than sand thieves.
The thief's bows are very complicated. Those who are capable can grab a good bow. It is good for ordinary thiefs to have a bow. Who cares about the quality of the bow? The Yulin Light Cavalry's bow is a two-stone horse bow with a long range and a straight head. The arrow uses a triangular armor-breaking arrow, which has a much worse lethality.
The Ninth Princess's convoy was moving faster than usual under the nurse of the Light Cavalry, and this way of travel naturally could not last long. Fortunately, Luo Yi did not need to last long. According to Na Tian Shuoye's words, just go six or seven miles.
When Tian Shouye saw a few huge rocks from afar, he knew that he had arrived. This was exactly where Mr. Lei mentioned. When he arrived here, he just had to wait.
He silently calculated the time in his mind. Mr. Lei said that he could just pass these huge rocks within three hours.
It took less than two hours to come out of the convoy, and the half hour he had just marched, the triangular cattle herd should have arrived here within half an hour. As long as you guard it for half an hour, let alone 20,000 sand thieves, you won’t be afraid even if you come to the 100,000 army.
Seeing the convoy ahead stop, Luo Yi urged him to come forward and asked, "Why don't you leave?"
"Return to the general, as the noble man said, just cross these huge rocks, and don't rush forward. After all, the general's troops are damaged, so you can defend here. After the reinforcements arrive, you can rest for one night and then set off. If the general is uneasy, you can rest for a while and continue on the road." Tian Shouye said calmly.
God, it's so magical. Mr. Lei is a hundred miles away. He not only knows that there is war here, but also who both sides of the war are there. He also knows the speed and route of the triangular cow's migration, and even knows how many huge rocks there are.
It is said that the secret master has the ability of unpredictable ghosts and gods. Judging from Master Lei’s words and deeds, the rumors are indeed true.
"There are reinforcements?" Luo Yi listened to different points. Looking around, he was half-believing and half-doubted, how could there be reinforcements here?
"Yes, the noble man must have reinforcements." Tian Shouye was proud. As a civilian, he also had the opportunity to be proud in front of the General of the Central Army.
Before Luo Yi could ask in detail, Xu Yan's troops had already caught up, and the sand thief was still hanging from afar. Seeing that the convoy stopped, although they were unclear, they were not anxious, as long as the convoy did not escape.
The leaders of this sand thief were not stupid. For such a long time, the reinforcements had not arrived yet. This was because they were cannon fodder. They had already sent people to find reinforcements, which made their own casualties even more miserable, and they could not hold on to the convoy.
"General, Xu Yan handed over the order to prevent the enemy from completing the mission, and the scouts rewarded him. The smoke and dust in the distance soared into the sky, and the sound of the ground was heard, and at least four thousand men were."
Luo Yi turned to look at Tian Shouye, wondering, there were reinforcements. If he had more than 4,000 cavalry, not to mention Dingxi Army, even ordinary local government troops would be as stable as a mountain.
After leaving Huangshakou, the Empire did not open a prefecture in the western border. Apart from Dingjun City, there were only military battle forts. Naturally, there would be no local prefecture troops, so it could only be Dingxi Army. But the direction was wrong. If Dingxi was in Dingxi, it should be the direction of the convoy. How could it be the rear?
"General Luo, if he had four thousand troops, he should be reinforcements from the Sha Thief. It doesn't matter. Even if they came, it would be too late." Tian Shouye said confidently. He was an old business company. He could calculate the distance and speed, and then look at the time. Everything was under control. This feeling was so good.
"Tian Shouye, where are the reinforcements you mentioned? Do you know that this is the Ninth Princess's bride-sending convoy, and there can't be any loss." Luo Yi said sternly. If the general who sent the bride-sending the princess lost, even his father Luo Hai could not hold it. Not to mention that Luo Hai was just General Left, even a general would not be able to do so.
Before he finished speaking, Luo Yi felt a vibration coming from the ground, and the vibration became louder and louder, as if an endless heavy cavalry was rushing towards him, the earth trembled, and it was like a dragon turning over.
"General Luo, the reinforcements are coming soon. The nobleman said, "There are tens of millions of reinforcements, but what is the point of mere sand thieves." This is not what Renault said, but what Tian Shouye thought too much. He felt that speaking like this was so good, especially when he said in front of a nobleman in the middle-aged man, it was so comfortable.
There are tens of millions of reinforcements? Da Chu has hundreds of millions of nationals, eight major armies, seventy-two government camps, and only more than one.5 million troops. How can there be a saying of tens of millions?
Even if all the countries around Da Chu are included, and all the armies are concentrated together, less than half of them are worth tens of millions, you should be a bit good to brag about.
But this vibration like a terrestrial dragon turned over really confused Luo Yi. He was a soldier, so he naturally knew what this vibration meant. Anyway, even if the light cavalry under his command had more than ten thousand people, there would definitely not be such a big change.
Xu Yan's face was first surprised and then became extremely strange. He was from the southwest and knew more about the desert than Luo Yi, so this time he sent a kiss to Luo Yi and ordered Xu Yan's troops to accompany him.
This shock...
seem……
There is only one possibility!
He urged the horse to Luo Yi and said softly: "General, this vibration is unique, it seems to have hundreds of thousands of heavy cavalry, but it is definitely not."
Luo Yi glared at him, it was all nonsense. Do you want to say it? You have 100,000 heavy cavalry. Let's dream. The Great Chu Empire has more than 1.5 million troops, and the heavy cavalry is added together, which is less than 50,000. Where did the 100,000 heavy cavalry come from?
The heavy cavalry is powerful, but it consumes too much money and food. With the economic ability of Da Chu, supplying 50,000 heavy cavalry is already the limit. The main force in the army is still the full-armored light cavalry like the one he brought.
Seeing Luo Yi getting angry, Xu Yan hurriedly said, "It's almost autumn. The triangular cows in the sandbank of the South China Sea are going to move to the northern tower. The triangular cows are huge and like to live in groups. When they move, they gather hundreds of millions of numbers, like rivers and rivers."
Without him explaining, the figure of a cow can already be seen from afar. People see cows, and cows also see people. Such a large group of people are a little timid. After all, they are herbivores. Unless they are stimulated, the cows are still quite brave.
"Ten million reinforcements..." Luo Yi sang softly. There were really tens of millions of reinforcements. When he heard this, how could he not understand the plans of the nobles in the caravan? It was really a good plan. It was unexpectedly wonderful. I really wanted to see that person right away.
Originally, he didn't believe in Tian Shouye. You are a Southwest Caravan and want to meet a secret master and dream in daydreams. But when he saw a cow, he sorted out the whole thing and had to admit that the noble man had a clever mind.
More importantly, the noble man could take everything from a hundred miles away, as if he had seen it himself, which was even more awesome than what he planned.
As long as all the information is gathered together, Renault's plan is very common in Luo Yi's opinion, and even the two divisions under him can be deduced.
The key is, how did he know this information? Not to mention the two radicals of Chen Feng and Xu Yan, even the General of the Central Army, was not worried about Mo Zhan before, and didn’t know how to deal with it?
Do you don’t understand military strategy? Of course not, but the information is not smooth. If you know the number, distance, and position and direction of the triangular cattle, you don’t need anyone to give me some advice. As the three masters of Yulin, how could Luo Yi not think of it?
"Send the order to lure the soybeans in the army to speed up the cattle migration." Seeing that the cow was timid, Luo Yi decided to help them, and at the same time prevented the sand thieves from circumventing the cattle.
When the cattle herd was lured by soybeans and crossed the golden road, Luo Yi knew that this time was really safe. Tens of millions of cattle were going to stop and stop, and it would take ten days to go through.
