Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 171 Attacking Kaiyang ([-])
When a team of sentry cavalry who explored the road first stepped into the Moutai village to inform the village to prepare for the army, they unexpectedly hit a wall.

The county of Langya Country has always been peaceful, not to mention that it is near Kaiyang, the prefecture. Even in the era of war and separatism at the end of Han Dynasty, there are very few bandits nearby.

Therefore, the earthen wall outside Moutai is not considered high, only about two or three meters high, but now it is a group of men dressed as villagers drawing bows and bows on it, their faces are more slow and vigilant, and they directly refer to the people on the opposite side. Sentinels.

And behind a tightly closed wooden door, there was a young man yelling, "Who is coming, get off your horse and stop immediately!"

"Otherwise, don't blame our bows and arrows for being rude."

"You bastard with no eyesight!"

This line of sentinel cavalry, as the official army of Kaiyang, is born to feel superior to others in Langya County, and even the army from other places may not like it, let alone a group of mud-legged villagers?

What's more, they are the highest and most expensive cavalry in the army?

But now he was threatened by these unscrupulous people with some ugly wooden bows, the sentry cavalry in the lead was so surprised that he doubted his life at the first moment.

After returning to his senses, he immediately flew into a rage.

It's your opposite!
The leader rolled his strange eyes, and sternly cursed: "Didn't you see the fine armor in the military uniform we're wearing?"

"I am the governor of the Han Army of Langya Kingdom, and you dare to use a sharp weapon against each other. Do you know that you have committed a big crime?"

"Hurry up and plead guilty, don't make mistakes!"

"If you annoy this general, you won't be able to cut off the heads of a whole village!"

Hearing these stern words, the young man seemed to exclaim in surprise, he was quite frightened, and then he poked his head behind the door to look at the sentinel and his party, and then muttered: "It looks like that with your outfits."

"But we can't believe it."

"Just this morning, a group of people dressed similarly to yours came running and shouted to enter the village."

"But we also heard that there was a banditry in Linyi before. At that time, we called some relatives in the village who often walked around in Linyi to come out and have a look. As a result, we always felt that something was wrong when we answered the conversation."

"Look, the officers and soldiers just left, and then you came again under the same banner, this..."

"It's too coincidental, we really can't believe it."

"So, we really can't, and dare not let you into the village."

"What?" Hearing this, the Sentinel was stunned: "An officer came here just now?"

He frowned and thought for a moment, then asked the young man: "How many people are there, are you sure they came from Linyi? When did they leave?"

"From the west, where else can it be besides Linyi." The young man seemed to recall, and replied with some uncertainty:

"Anyway, there are many more people than the dozen or so of you. There are probably hundreds of people."

"At that time, they were also very unhappy. I saw the leader's eyes, he looked fierce, and seemed to want to directly attack our village. At that time, I was terrified."

As he said that, the young man patted his chest, as if he was still in shock: "Fortunately, another general-looking man came from behind, and he seemed to call out a few times in a hurry before he called them away."

"It looks like it turned back to the west again."

Hundreds of people?Came from Linyi and returned to the west?
Within a radius of several hundred miles, there are now only three forces with hundreds of troops, Kaiyang, Linyi, and the Yellow Turban Bandits.

I am the Kaiyang Army, if there are other people mobilized, it is impossible not to know.

The whole city of Linyi used to have no more than a thousand people. Didn't it say that nearly 500 people were wiped out by the Yellow Turban Bandits before? What's more, it is now under siege. How could there be a reason for hundreds of people to come to Moutai to hang out?

If the city of Linyi is broken now, they will only rush to our Kaiyang to ask for help.

Thinking of this, the sentry cavalry roughly understood.

This group of "official soldiers" must have been disguised by the group of Yellow Turban bandits who besieged Linyi!
They dressed up the Linyi soldiers and just pulled off those armor uniforms.
hundreds of people.
Just the right number!

Feeling that he had already guessed the truth, Du Bo, the sentry rider, was excited, and shouted at the boy again: "You yellow-mouthed boy, tell me, when did they leave!"

"I came here in the afternoon, so I didn't go for a long time." The young man showed a look of reminiscence again, and said, "They don't have tall horses to ride like you. I guess they will only walk a few miles at most."

Hearing this, Uncle Du was so excited that he no longer cared about informing the people in Moutai Village to entertain the army. He quickly pulled the rein, turned the horse's head, and shouted to the sentry cavalry beside him: "This matter is very urgent. Come with me and report to Colonel Wang."

As he spoke, there was a "drive", and a group of people really came and went in a hurry.

It's just that their minds were not careful enough, and they hadn't discovered some weird places.

For example, in a big village like Mutai, why is it that a young villager talks to them.

And the boy spoke very slowly. Although it seemed to be a Linyi accent, it seemed a bit childish.

"what?"

"Did hundreds of people pretending to be officers and soldiers come to Moutai at noon?"

Hearing this, Wang Ling jumped up, his eyes lit up.

He agreed with Du Bo's judgment, this must be the Yellow Turban thief!
He has a good command of the army, and when the army is dispatched, the guarding distance of the sentry cavalry is generally within five miles, which is actually much stronger than the average city defense army.

If it is calculated according to the time, it happened that the sentry cavalry entered the Moutai Realm shortly after, and the group of thieves just left, which happened to be a staggered time.

"several hundred."

Wang Ling revealed a thoughtful look on his face, and pondered.

According to the report from Linyi who came to ask for help, not counting other bandits and refugees who might be lurking nearby, the number of bandits fighting head-on at that time was no more than a thousand.

Although they had severely damaged Linyi's city defense army before, they could not be unscathed. Based on this calculation, these hundreds of "official troops" are probably nearly half of the main force of this group of bandits.

With such strength, he came to Moutai for no reason.
You still have to dress up as an official and army, trying to deceive you into the village?
Wang Ling slapped his thigh suddenly, looked around, and said confidently: "This must be because the bandits have been attacking Linyi for a long time, and they have not enough supplies, so they want to come to Moutai to plunder grain, food, clothing and food."

"They have never attacked a village head-on. This shows that they have not many soldiers who can really fight!"

"What the young master said is not bad." The guards at the side agreed with Wang Ling's judgment, thought for a while, and added a doubt: "But the thieves all came to Moutai and turned back suddenly, but why?"

"The villagers said that a general who looked like a general came to call them back?"

Wang Ling looked at the sentry cavalry and asked a question. Seeing him nodding his head in confirmation, he thought for a moment and made a judgment:

"It must be that when they stayed to attack Linyi, they made progress again, so they hurriedly called back to rob supplies, and went to support them. If they want the whole army to join forces, let's go all out."

seems reasonable
But it always feels a bit far-fetched.

Although the personal guard did not directly refute Wang Ling's guess, he did not show his approval as before.

Why is it?

He fell into deep thought.
