Chapter 8 Sending troops to rescue Lousang Village
Liu Tao was looking for someone, but Zhang Fei was not vague. He didn't even ask the reason. It was natural that his brother wanted to find someone. However, the next six or seven days passed, and this man who was nine feet tall and blushed as a date still had no news.
On the contrary, a thousand refugees were recruited, and a thousand people were recruited to serve as servants in the village.
The schoolyard was established outside the village in the east of Zhangjiacheng. This grass-roots team was temporarily led by Liu Tao, with Zhang Fei as deputy, and Lu Yan as military advisor and marching chief clerk, and was temporarily built.
"Stack, sting!" Zhang Fei was responsible for practicing sword and shield soldiers, Lu Yan was responsible for practicing archers, and Liu Tao naturally took over the training task of the spear soldiers. After deducting the daily hard work, he turned in line and walked in sprints in a row and this move.
"Brother, why don't you practice this move?" Zhang Fei accidentally saw it, so he came over to ask.
"After the spear array is arranged, the left and right spaces are limited, and the attack range is only in front. In this case, practicing other tricks is a waste, just train the flat spears." Liu Tao replied, "The key is that the queue must be neat, and the sprints must be consistent. At the same time, when changing the array, the steering must be fast, accurate, and neat!"
"It's similar to the archers. It's just that before the two armies fight, they go forward and shoot volleys. The combat effectiveness of the archers in the wild is very limited and not as good as the crossbowmen. The key is that this bow is just a hunting bow, and when facing the enemy, it's just a harassement." Lu Yan was responsible for training and commanding the archers, and only after formally taking over the archers, he knew how pitiful the archers were.
If you have the advantage of terrain, it would be fine if the frontal battle formation is at most a wave of scattered shots is almost useless. Perhaps two years of training can shoot out the second round in a short time. If you are not careful, it will hinder the formation change and affect the attack of the main force. If you are not a general who is proficient in this, you will rarely take such risks.
"However, even if it is harassment, it can create key fighter jets for our army. At the same time, when going out to fight, you can also choose some favorable terrain to shoot to improve the diversity of tactical strategies. Take a step back and say that if the court does not allow local militias to form militias, our militias can at least help defend the city, and the archers will have a greater role at this time." Liu Tao comforted.
"No wonder my brother ordered to train a hundred archers at the beginning, and it turned out that he had also considered this!" Zhang Fei suddenly realized when he heard this. Unexpectedly, it was just Zhang Jiao's rebellion, and Liu Tao had already considered so many things.
Lu Yan nodded when he heard this. Liu Tao was indeed much more thoughtful than him. At the same time, he realized that he was still somewhat limited when thinking about problems.
"As the saying goes, 'be prepared for any trouble', if there are not enough horses, I hope to get a horse army of about fifty people out..." Liu Tao sighed.
A fifty-man cavalry, even if they are light cavalry, can easily tear the opponent's formation and disperse when they are rampant. It was originally a one-on-one battle formation, but after it was dispersed, one soldier of the opponent may face two to three of his own troops at the same time.
In this way, even if the opponent has three times the strength of his own army, it is only a matter of time to eliminate it!
"Although Youzhou is close to the border, the acquisition of horses is more convenient than other Central Plains prefectures and counties, the price of war horses has always remained high..." Zhang Fei was also a little embarrassed, and this thing would not be sold unless he was familiar with the tribes of the grassland.
"Let's find a way later!" Liu Tao comforted. Two figures appeared in his mind at this moment, but he didn't know where the two were, and whether they were willing to donate generously to support him.
By the way, a servant rode his horse into the schoolyard, and it was even more bumpy and bumpy. He finally came to the three of them. He didn't care about the etiquette and shouted directly: "Head of the family, our team of wine transporters was blocked by thieves in Lousang Village!"
"Tell me in detail!" Zhang Fei frowned immediately when he heard this.
"There is a group of thieves, about hundreds of, with yellow turbans tied to the head, intending to rob our convoy of wine transporting. No, not only us, but also two caravans are also their targets! Now the convoy, according to the suggestion of the red-faced man who joined the middle, quickly retreated to Lousang Village and resisted with the help of the terrain of the village. However, the other party seemed to be waiting for reinforcements. The situation was urgent, and I hope the head of the family would make a decision early!" The servant hurriedly told.
He had many colors on his body, and although his injuries were not serious, he looked ferocious. It can be seen that he was working hard to break through and report the news.
"Lousang Village is only ten miles away from here. It is still time to go there, so it is just enough to give the soldiers some chance to fight! According to the words of this servant, the convoy encountered was probably the Yellow Turban Thief!" Lu Yan suggested immediately.
"The Yellow Turban Thief did come to Youzhou... Or did the Yellow Turban Thief in Zhuo County respond?" Zhang Fei was puzzled.
"The army has been training for a few days, so it is indeed time to see the blood!" Liu Tao thought for a while and looked at the two of them immediately, "Let's go to the actual battle this time!"
"It's just that the training time is still short, is it okay?" Lu Yan was a little worried.
"The soldiers in my village are not afraid of death!" Zhang Fei retorted directly. After all, these thousand war soldiers were selected from his village, and many of them were trained by him personally. Besides, the servants had also fought with the thieves with the priests in the past, and some servants had mastered their skills in this way.
Although fighting in groups and fighting are two concepts, they are at least experienced, so really, the training has been very smooth these days. These Zhuang Dings can quickly adapt to their new identities. They are all qualified combat soldiers in terms of consciousness and combat power!
"Then don't wait. The baggage troops stay on guard and other troops gather to fight immediately!" Liu Tao immediately ordered that if time does not wait for anyone, if the caravan continues, there may be problems with the caravan.
There is another thing he cares more about, that is, what the servant just said just now, there is a red-faced man who joined the team halfway through. It is hard to say that it is Mr. Guan Er whom he is looking for!
Hopefully, Liu Bei has not left a good impression on him yet, and he still has a chance to recruit him under his command.
Zhang Fei didn't say anything nonsense. Hearing this, he immediately ordered the large army immediately gathered. He checked the weapons and armor, and then immediately started to advance. Since there was no baggage force, the speed of traveling was much faster. In addition, three meals a day were served, and the oil and water were sufficient. The soldiers were much stronger than ordinary people.
It takes about half an hour to reach the vicinity of Lousang Village at the speed of jogging.
It can be seen from afar that outside Lousang Village, a thief was trying to attack the village. Inside the village, the caravan guards were trying to counterattack. The hunters among the villagers also tried to use bows and arrows to assist.
Perhaps because I knew that the thieves broke through the village, I was afraid that they would not be able to escape, and the villagers cooperated consciously.
Perhaps, when I saw another army coming from afar, a red-faced man in the village frowned. After all, about two thousand reinforcements had just arrived, who knew if more would come?
I was having a headache, and a servant from the Zhang family not far away was shouting: "It's the militia of the head of the family! It's reinforcements!"
"See, see! The leader is Mr. Liu, next to him is the head of the family and military advisor Lu Yan!" Another shouted.
Chapter completed!
