Chapter 27 Forming the Cavalry Plan
"Lord county magistrate, we didn't know that Qin Ming betrayed the Qin family. I always thought he was training private soldiers for the Qin family, so..."

The fat mayor knelt down and cried bitterly.

Kneeling next to him was a stubborn young man who was a retainer of the Qin family. His strength was not bad, and he had the strength of the fourth level of body training.

It's a pity that this person is a loyal loyalist of Qin Ming's lineage, and it was he who led the remaining [-] private soldiers to stay in Tianfeng City, resisting stubbornly, and bought a lot of time for Qin Ming to escape.

After a while, Feng Tianya came in to report that the situation was as the mayor said.

"Take an inventory of the Qin family's things, and go home."

Qin Yuan regretted that Qin Ming was not caught this time.

According to news, Qin Ming and his party headed south in the middle of the night and left the sphere of influence of Mingwu City. Now they can't catch up if they want to.

"Qin Ming, don't let me meet you in the future."

Qin Yuan murmured, just as he was about to deal with this Qin family retainer, a voice came from his mind.

Qin Yuan's eyes suddenly brightened, and he found that the luck value increased by five points.

Recovering Tianfeng Town will reward him with five luck points. This is the reminder given to him by the system.

Although it is not to complete the task, the system will also reward luck points every time you expand your sphere of influence.

This is a surprise, it seems that I can gain luck by recovering the town, instead of always aiming at the county seat that is on the same level as Mingwu City.

Nowadays, the new recruits have not yet formed an organization. With five thousand soldiers, even if they are elite, they will have to pay a heavy price if they want to capture a county.

"General?"

Feng Tianya looked at Qin Yuan startled, and said.

"It's okay, let's kill this man."

Qin Yuan said casually that he was obviously in a better mood after getting the luck value.

Since this person is loyal to Qin Ming, let him get his wish.

As soon as the words fell, Bai Qi stood up excitedly and showed his long sword.

Everyone was speechless, they didn't know that this young man was so murderous.

However, there are also a few people who have discovered that this young man's strength seems to have improved.

"How many towns and villages are there around Mingwu City?"

Qin Yuan asked.

Completing the task before and occupying Mingwu County was a reward of [-] points, which should only be aimed at the county of Mingwu City.

Surrounding towns are not included.

Just like the central government of the Liehan Dynasty had over localities, county towns had very little control over towns.

Therefore, even if they become the magistrate of Mingwu County, these towns still do not belong to their sphere of influence, at least they listen to the tune and not to the propaganda.

For example, Tianfeng Town is under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate on the surface, but in fact it is controlled by the mayor in front of him and Qin Ming's lineage.

"There are nine towns and 61 villages."

The mayor hastily opened his mouth.

"Okay, leave 200 people, and I will send people from the Qin family to receive the remaining supplies."

Qin Yuan said to Feng Tianya, and then looked at the trembling mayor. "Now that the northern Qiang cavalry are heading south, Mingwu City is in danger. Please inform me that the three hundred soldiers will return to the city with me."

"Lord Magistrate, what will we do without the soldiers?" the mayor cried.

"Even if there are three hundred soldiers, you can't stop the Northern Qiang cavalry's attack. There is still time now. Tell all the people to take refuge in Mingwu City. After the Northern Qiang crisis is over, it will not be too late to come back."

Qin Yuan said flatly.

It is impossible for the defensive force of a town to stop the Northern Qiang cavalry.

Even this time, they entered the city with almost no effort, no match for the Northern Qiang cavalry.

Therefore, if the people of Tianfeng City continued to stay, once the Northern Qiang cavalry arrived, there would be absolutely no way out.

To put it bluntly, these towns and villages are nothing but supply stations for the Northern Qiang cavalry.

Even for a city with complete fortifications like the county seat, it is very difficult to resist the Northern Qiang cavalry.

"Yes, I will let someone inform you."

The mayor was not stupid, he understood instantly, he just felt sorry for the army of [-] soldiers, it should belong to his strength.

Even Qin Ming knew how to cultivate private soldiers and hold military power. As the master of a town, how could he not understand.

Especially in troubled times, only with the army can we have a certain ability to protect ourselves.

Now everything is gone, even Tianfeng Town, where the family took root, is gone.

Qin Ming owns a lot of property in Tianfeng Town, so he left in a hurry last night, except for some dry food, he didn't take much with him.

A large amount of steel, metal, and refined weapons and armor are piled up in the warehouse, waiting for the people sent by Qin Yuan to receive them.

And Qin Yuan left with the original [-] soldiers and [-] town troops.

He didn't go back directly to Mingwu City, but went to another town.

Soon, Qin Yuan regained two small towns.

When they arrived at the first small town, the acceptance process went very smoothly. The mayor had received the news from the county government and mobilized all the people to go to Mingwu City. Seeing Qin Yuan's arrival, he handed over the military and political power very cooperatively.

The second small town encountered resistance from powerful families in the town.

As a result, it was Bai Qi who solved all the opposing voices by himself, copied several families by the way, and obtained a large amount of wealth and food.

Bai Qi shot alone, and the soldiers who watched were shocked. The scene was too tragic.

Seeing the wealth obtained from the scraping, there are tens of thousands of taels of silver and thousands of shi of grain, Qin Yuan sighed with emotion in this sinful feudal society, and the wealth was in the hands of the powerful gentry.

And those famous families, aristocratic families, I am afraid that the wealth in their hands is unimaginable.

As for the Qin family, Qin Yuan felt that the accumulated wealth was not too much at this time, because they had been raising more than 5000 soldiers.

"If the Shen family and the Gu family are copied"

Qin Yuan murmured.

Feng Tianya and Zheng Fangtai, who were beside him, were secretly startled when they heard this. The patriarch's thinking is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Forget it, let's raise it first, and let's talk about it if we run out of money someday."

Qin Yuan smiled and looked at his luck.

The two small towns provided him with four and five luck points respectively.

It seems that the luck value is related to the size of the town, the degree of prosperity, and the resident population.

It's a pity that Qin Yuan regained several villages along the way, but he didn't get any luck.

When Qin Yuan was about to go to the next town, he found that the sky had darkened and had to give up the idea.

"Infantry is still too slow."

Qin Yuan sighed, suddenly thought of the Northern Qiang cavalry, and must form a strong cavalry.

Otherwise, no matter how strong he is, he can only defend passively and cannot take the initiative to attack.

The Northern Qiang cavalrymen could come and go as soon as they wanted, and they couldn't catch up even if they wanted to.

Although cavalry are not good at attacking cities, they are almost invincible when fighting on the plains.

Relying on the advantage of speed, the cavalry can be said to come and go like the wind, and can even harass the enemy all the time, making the enemy restless.

The previous dynasty of Lie Han, that is, Qiang Yuan, was established by the grassland people.

Relying on the powerful cavalry, they were invincible and conquered the land of China. With an extremely terrifying expansion speed, they almost unified the whole world.

The name Guyuan Plane comes from the Qiangyuan Empire.

If Qin Yuan wants to quickly unify China and conquer the entire world, he must have an invincible cavalry.

"Are there cavalry in the army?"

Qin Yuan asked.

"When General Qin Zhen was in office, he once formed a cavalry of one hundred men, but it was too expensive and had to be cancelled."

Feng Tianya smiled wryly, "If the general wants to form cavalry, he must buy a batch of war horses, and the price is not cheap. In the past, he bought horses through trading with the Northern Qiang people, but now it may be difficult."

"Well, I'll figure it out."

Qin Yuan nodded, now that a battle with the Northern Qiang people is about to take place, the enemy will no longer sell them war horses.

As for who to buy from, Qin Yuan doesn't know either, but someone will know.

After Qin Yuan returned to Mingwu City, he didn't go back directly to Qin's house, but stopped outside the gate of Gu's house with his army.

Soon, Gu Yunyun ran out in a hurry. Seeing that the soldier's weapon was still stained with blood, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

This little ancestor, you bring so many people, don't you think it's impossible to ransack the house!
