This kind of signal smoke was specially arranged by Zhang Bao and others.
After all, no matter how fast the horses are, there will still be delays when sending a message.
In particular, Zhang Bao has placed spies throughout Sanhe County. It is naturally even more difficult to summon people within a hundred miles.
If you use beacon smoke, you can send messages one by one, which is very convenient.
"Everyone!"
"Everything is ready and ready, let's go!"
After Zhang Bao made arrangements for everyone, he immediately rushed up to the city gate with Xie Yunsong.
Wait until the two of them walk up.
Huang Chenzhi had already received the news and was looking in the direction of the smoke from the city gate.
"Master Huang, what's going on?"
As soon as Zhang Bao came up, he asked Huang Chenzhi.
"It's not clear yet, there will be news soon."
"The flying pigeon has probably arrived at the military camp."
Huang Chenzhi frowned and said.
"Flying pigeon?"
"Can we still send news?"
Xie Yunsong was shocked when he heard this.
Zhang Bao had already had this idea when he formed the Baowei Thirty-Six Cavalry.
The current inconvenience of information exchange can definitely achieve good results if we make more use of it.
Today, most messages are sent through horses.
But this timeliness is still a bit short.
Zhang Bao asked people to study the flying pigeon message transmission.
At this time in Daxia, pigeons were already domesticated, but today's pigeons are not used to deliver messages, and are even regarded as flying animals like chickens and ducks.
Zhang Bao then asked these domesticated people to train him.
After such a long time, I have only trained a few.
It can only send messages between military camps.
Therefore, Zhang Bao ordered people to reserve supplies near several large official roads around Sanhe County.
Once there is a danger, pigeons will be sent out to send back more detailed information.
But the pigeons could not fly into the city, so they could only go to the military camp outside the city for the time being.
Then someone will send the message in.
Huang Chenzhi just finished speaking.
I saw a fast horse in the distance, rushing towards the county government.
"Report!"
"grown ups!"
"A group of people came in from Sanyuan Bridge and are now trapped in a horse trap on the official road near Sanyuan Bridge."
A soldier panting came to the crowd and said.
"How many people are there?"
"What equipment?"
Huang Chenzhi asked the man.
"There were more than 500 people, most of them infantry, holding knives and bows and arrows. There were a small number of cavalry in front of them. They stopped temporarily."
"The man at the head is riding a horse. He is very strong and has a big beard!"
"Judging from the clothes, they are officers and soldiers!"
The man said truthfully and handed a piece of paper to Huang Chenzhi.
This time, the carrier pigeon delivered not a text message, but a painting.
Above the painting is the situation just mentioned.
"The official road of Sanyuan Bridge is far away from here. If you rush, it won't take you a day's journey."
"Five hundred people came, and the people who came here are evil!"
"I guess what happened here has been exposed."
Huang Chenzhi frowned and said.
"Wait a moment!"
"This man looks familiar. He is very strong and has a big beard?"
Xie Yunsong also came up and watched.
"Master Huang, I'm guessing that this person may be a centurion from our Yunzhong County, named Zhang Shuo. This man is extremely powerful and has some abilities."
"It's just that I was a little arrogant before, had a bad character, and often got into trouble, so I always suppressed him."
"This time he actually led the troops out alone. Don't resist forcefully!"
Xie Yunsong said in surprise.
He knew that Zhang Shuo was good at martial arts and had a good way of leading troops.
Just too restless.
Originally, I thought about suppressing it and practicing hard.
Unexpectedly, he actually led the troops out now.
"Xie Yunsong obeys the order!"
"The tiger and leopard cavalry are fast. You lead all the horses and horses to take a long detour and block the Sanyuan Bridge and several nearby exits. If they retreat, they will definitely retreat from there. No one can escape."
Zhang Bao said to Xie Yunsong.
"ah?"
"Master Bao, Master Huang, this can't be done!"
"This Zhang Shuo is very powerful. He was once a strong man under me before. Your people can't defeat him at all."
"In my opinion, we should use our cavalry to charge directly. With the power of the charge, we might be able to kill some of them, and then force the heavy troops to retreat."
"Our Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has just been formed, so there will inevitably be casualties."
"But this is the only way to defeat it."
Xie Yunsong said hurriedly.
"Xie Yunsong."
"You disobey orders as soon as you take office?"
"If you want to do it, obey the order, or get out of here!"
Zhang Bao said coldly.
"this……"
"well……"
Xie Yunsong saw that Zhang Bao was so strong, while Huang Chenzhi remained indifferent.
I could only sigh and walk down.
Watch it!
Does the person named Bao really think he has been in a war?
If you act so recklessly, you will suffer consequences sooner or later!
Our troops in Yunzhong County are not that easy to deal with!
Unless the people who were training on the field were allowed to go up.
But that’s just a few dozen people, which is not enough!
Xie Yunsong was very helpless.
He walked back bitterly and rushed out with the tiger and leopard cavalry.
"Sir, what should we do?"
On top of the city wall.
Huang Chenzhi asked Zhang Bao.
"No rush!"
"Close the door and beat the dog!"
"Catch as many people as possible alive. These people are acting strangely. Maybe they are not here to attack. These five hundred people are too many."
"If they really come to attack, is it for Xie Yunsong or for our rebellion?"
"It's not clear now. Let's catch him alive and figure it out later!"
"Let everyone stand still and don't panic!"
Zhang Bao said calmly.
There is too little information known at this time.
There is no need to rush into doing too many things, which will only cause confusion on their side.
"But sir, if they leave directly, they can reach the city in the evening. What should we do then?"
Huang Chenzhi reminded from the side.
"Let Lao Hu and Bao Wei's Thirty-Six Riders go."
"It's easy to take them around in circles until dark. Then we'll use a beheading tactic to see what they can do."
Zhang Bao said with a smile.
at the same time.
On the official road near Sanyuan Bridge.
A group of people were watching the surrounding movements with vigilant faces.
Just now.
The cavalrymen in front of them wanted to explore the way forward.
As a result, after running a few steps, the two horses sprained their feet and fell to the ground.
Only then did everyone discover that there were several horse trap holes in inconspicuous places on the ground.
I couldn't help being surprised.
This group of people indeed came from Yunzhong County.
And the person leading the team was none other than Zhang Shuo as Xie Yunsong said.
Zhang Shuo is also an old man in the military.
The moment I saw the trapped horse cave, I knew that this matter was not that simple.
Plus the smoke rising in the distance.
Immediately ordered everyone to disperse and be on alert.
But everyone was on alert for a long time and didn't notice any movement around them.
Zhang Shuo took a few people to the vicinity of Ma Cave and watched.
The layout of these horse trap holes is quite clever.
At first glance, it doesn't look like much at all.
If you say.
If ordinary people were walking with their carriages and horses, they would be able to avoid it if they were careful.
But for the large group of people passing by.
It is inevitable that one or two horses will not pay attention and fall directly into it.
If it falls in, it will definitely affect the entire cavalry team.
Could it be said.
Did the people in Sanhe County know in advance that they were coming?
