The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

Meow, I suddenly felt that my mentality had collapsed, and I was a little confused, whether the thief had become weaker, or was just too weak before.

When we got to the outpost, we realized that the war in the rear didn't disturb the rest of the outpost.Maybe it was because of the distance of five or six miles, or maybe it was because the sound of the heavy rain beating in the mountains covered up the traces of the war.

But Lu Bu felt that it should be the outpost's feeling that the road coming from the front was triple-surveilled by them, and if they didn't break through these three camps, then nothing would happen to the main camp behind.

In the end, who knew that Liu Tao knew so well about the ten-mile radius, and made the army detour a little bit. Thanks to the approaching night, it happened to be raining again.The soldiers under Liu Tao's command did not suffer from night blindness at all, but their vision was somewhat affected, and at most they marched more slowly, which did not affect anything.

So in the middle of the night, the bandit camp with nearly 4000 people was actually defeated by 200 people like Liu Tao.However, what should appear still appeared, that is, at least [-] horses were damaged.

It was because the hillside slipped and sprained its feet. It is estimated that there is no way to become a war horse again. It can only be pulled back and put away. When will it be sold to be used as a work horse.Of course, riding should not be a big problem, but there is no way to run fast.

"Worth two hundred horses, or two hundred soldiers?" Liu Tao and Lu Bu muttered after seeing the battle damage.

"If the soldiers are recruited refugees, and the training is less than three months, and the training level is not high, two hundred horses can be worth at least two thousand soldiers..." Guo Jia thought for a while, "But these soldiers under the Lord's command, don't Say two hundred war horses, five hundred horses can't compare."

They are all old soldiers who have been winning continuously, with a lot of courage and battlefield experience.The main reason is the high degree of training. Such soldiers, at least for ten to twenty years, are truly elite. After 20 years, it will be guarded in the second line, and it can be guarded for another ten to 20 years.

Their greatest value is that when it is really necessary, Liu Tao recruits tens of thousands of recruits. These people can immediately become officers, starting at least at the senior level.Tens of thousands of troops can gain combat effectiveness immediately after a month of simple training.

Starting to join the army at the age of 20, or even 40 or 15, can serve Liu Tao for almost [-] years.Every one of these elite soldiers is a treasure.As for the war horse, the service age of gold does not exceed [-] years.

"Fortunately, there are still enough war horses in the rear..." Liu Tao also saw the same way, but there were a few war horses. If possible, he hoped that there would be only one battle like this, and he really couldn't afford it.

"Speaking of which, why can you light a fire here?" Sun Jian couldn't help asking, and came to meet up, only to find that piles of bonfires had already been lit here.

You must know that after the war, the entire camp was in a mess, and even if there was fuel, it was all wet.

"As long as there is a way, it's just lighting a fire. It's not difficult." Liu Tao smiled mysteriously and dealt with it casually.

Rocket Art is actually a pretty good spell. Generally speaking, its power is slightly higher than that of Magic Arrow, but it lacks concealment.After all, a flame flew out, especially in the night sky.

After learning 'Fire Comprehension Ⅰ', this magic gained an additional ability, which is to continuously ignite the target and cause continuous damage to the target.

To put it another way, when he fired at a pile of firewood, the firewood was ignited and continued to burn. This process dried the firewood, and then it could be divided into piles naturally, and the bonfire gradually ignited like this.

When it rains and snows, it is a very happy thing to have such a bonfire to dry the body.

Sun Jian knew that Liu Tao was hiding something, but seeing the people around him taking it for granted, he also knew that he was just a guest soldier, and he couldn't do anything about it if others deliberately concealed it.

When Huangfusong asked him to come over, on the one hand, he let him know some things about Liu Tao, and on the other hand, he also warned him not to explore Liu Tao's secrets too much.I didn't understand why there were such inconsistent suggestions before, but now I seem to understand.

Immediately, I didn't bother to think so much, and obediently came to the campfire and dried my body. The wet feeling was really uncomfortable.

The tents have been set up by the soldiers one after another, and there is barely a place to shelter from the rain in the forest.Even if the rain continues to fall tonight, the army can still spend the night here with peace of mind.

Just as Lu Bu expected, the thief got lost in the dark and rainy forest.Even if more than 4000 escaped, it might not be so easy to gather them together in the end. It would be nice to have hundreds.

A few hundred people returned to the headquarters camp outside Linjing County and reported the situation here.

"What do you think?" Bian Zhang looked at Beigong Boyu and Han Sui, and more at the man beside Han Sui.

In April of the previous year, there was turmoil in Liangzhou. At that time, this person responded to the call of the state and county to join the army and became the main force to counter the rebellion.In April last year, he was Ma Teng who was transferred to the general after a lot of hard work!

Joining the rebels this time is because Geng Bi, who was kind to him, was murdered by his subordinate Li Xiangru.The slogan played by the two rebels was Qing Jun's side, and they obviously fooled him, so they joined.

To be honest, there is no doubt about this person's ability, but Bian Zhang does not guarantee whether he can be counted as one of his own.

"We have received news that officers and soldiers will send people north to Shangqi County in the near future." Han Sui replied, "So we ambushed on the road we must pass. At present, this strategy is not wrong... The problem is that the other party seems to know us. There are ambushes, and they even know the distribution of camps..."

Judging from the situation reported below, the opponent should have avoided the outpost camp and pointed directly at the main camp behind.If you are not familiar with their layout, you can't do this at all.

"So I suspect that there are people among us who may have connections with officers and soldiers." Han Sui finally concluded.

However, just after he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were obviously directed towards Ma Teng beside him.If you really want to count, there is only Ma Teng, who may not have the same heart with them.

"Ma is definitely not a villain who betrays his own people!" Ma Teng snorted coldly, and said slowly.But whether others believe it or not is up to him.

"My adopted brother, I can assure you that he is not a spy!" Han Sui also stepped forward to protect him. After all, he had to rely on Ma Teng to support the situation. If Ma Teng had a problem, he had the right to speak in the army, but There is danger.

It's just that he just can't figure out who the spy is!

Chapter 340 Zhang Wen is not calm anymore

"What are you doing? There are not many horses in a camp of tens of thousands of people?" The next day, when the rain passed, Liu Tao had to count the trophies. After looking around, he found that there were only more than 20 horses in the camp. The picture is not very good.

"Even if it is a rebel army, except Huangzhong Yicong and a few people, don't look at 10,000+ people, in fact it must be less than [-]." Sun Jian has a little understanding of this, "let alone set up an ambush between the mountains and forests. , there is no need to use cavalry."

It may be used if you win the pursuit, but it is more likely to surround the target very early. It is difficult for the opponent to escape, and there is almost no possibility of pursuit.

"How about the captives and beheadings?" Liu Tao had no choice but to focus on other things.

"Two thousand were beheaded, more than four thousand were captured, and about 3000 more scattered and fled for their lives. The situation at that time made it impossible to pursue them." Lu Bu replied that under the circumstances at that time, he might even involve himself in a rash pursuit.

"There are more than 6000 people, Zhang Wen's side can be regarded as an explanation." Liu Tao said casually, this team of thieves is poor, and the weapons and equipment are not complete.In the weapon reserve, there are even sticks. It is not a premeditated rebellion on a large scale.

The one who really rebelled was Huangzhong Yicong, and the rest were the coerced Jincheng County soldiers.Afterwards, people from the surrounding counties were coerced to join the rebel army, and weapons and armor were probably mainly seized.

There is not much food. It is estimated that they intend to seize it on their own side. It is probably only enough food for the 1 people for about three or four days. It is estimated that it will be rationed regularly to avoid too much food.

It can also be seen from this that this ambush is actually not the main force of the enemy army at all, but purely consumables.

"If you win, you will have enough food and clothing. If you lose, there is nothing to feel bad about. These bandits really know how to plan carefully." Liu Tao walked around the seized supplies and immediately complained.

"But this is a good thing." Guo Jia laughed, "This means that the spies who tipped off the thieves may not be able to fully gain the trust of the thieves. This ambush is actually mostly testing."

"However, if we win the battle, will the other party suspect that something is wrong with the spy?" Liu Tao asked rhetorically.

"That's not true. After all, even if they are spies, they are unlikely to know exactly where they set up an ambush. Instead, we came here to prove that their intelligence is fine. It's just that the thief himself has no strength, so we wiped it out instead." Guo Jia shook his head.Not only would he not doubt it, but he probably trusted the spy who tipped him off even more.

Sun Jian noticed the conversation of several people.Secretly, Liu Tao really suspected that someone in the army was a collaborator, and he was sure that the suspect was Dong Zhuo.But just looking at their few words, I can clearly analyze what happened...

Sun Jian couldn't help thinking that he might also lack a military advisor.It's not that he can't think about problems, but no matter how powerful a person is, he can't think so comprehensively.However, under his command, there are no such as Guo Jia and Xin Pi.

No, no, no civil servants under his command, okay?The logistics and documents are all in charge of younger brothers Sun Jing and Zhu Zhi.The problem is that neither of them are pure civil servants, and of course they are not very good generals, which means that they are not at the same level.

"At present, we can only rest here for a few days now..." Liu Tao concluded, "We can't go north casually until the horses arrive. In addition, when necessary, we will give up part of the baggage and replace the [-] horses. Don't forget to prepare for this moment!"

"Here!" All the generals responded one after another, and Sun Jian also responded a little bit.

Coincidentally, the war horses under his seat are also Xianbei horses, and Hun horses are also fine. They are the batch of war horses captured by Liu Tao's defeat of Xianbei last year and sent to the court, but the court assigned them to Sun Jian.

In other words, the [-] cavalry under Sun Jian's command used the same horses as Liu Tao, and they could be supplemented by replacement horses.

"Speaking of..." Sun Jian immediately realized a problem, "The horses in reserve at the rear are all Xiliang horses, right?"

Xiliang horses are characterized by great strength, fast speed and strong explosive power.Suitable for armed heavy cavalry, launch group cavalry charge.Relatively speaking, the endurance is poor, and the cost of feeding is high.

The key is a cavalry unit, some are Xiliang horses, and some are Xianbei horses, which is prone to problems.The rebels may not care, but the regular army cannot ignore this problem.
