"Of course I know about this problem!" Liu Tao retorted, "The horses sent to the front line will of course be temporarily used as draft horses to help us transport supplies. When the loss rate exceeds [-], we can directly replace the horses. yes!"
Otherwise, why would he take five hundred Xianbei horses as backup in one go?
"This has already been taken into consideration..." Sun Jian seemed to understand that Liu Tao's success in repeated battles was not without reason.It's just that I just went south, so it's too early to take into account things that are so far away?
He didn't think about it, what kind of accident happened, and then thousands of people went in. These preparations actually made the enemy cheaper?No, no, if it is really defeated, or even accidentally killed, then naturally nothing will be meaningful anymore...
Sure enough, what I lack is this kind of thoughtfulness and planning before acting?Sun Jian kept making up his mind, but it seemed that he was limping himself just like that.
The battle report here was sent to Zhang Wen by the courier who sent it back to Meiyang for more than a day.
"This, this, this..." Zhang Wen looked at the military newspaper, and even rubbed his eyes to read it carefully again, making sure that he read it correctly, but he couldn't believe it.
It is not news that four thousand cavalry defeated ten thousand infantry, but four thousand cavalry found an ambush on the mountain road, the number of enemy troops reached [-], and it was still raining, they launched an attack at night, and then defeated it of……
If it weren't for the cavalry who reported the letter, bringing two hundred horses with broken hooves and carrying more than two thousand heads, he really meant that Liu Tao was falsely reporting his military exploits.
"There are really more than six thousand prisoners?" Zhang Wen asked.
"Indeed, the general said that he can only help take care of them for three to four days. If he doesn't come to receive them at that time, he can only chop them up. After all, the captured food and grass are very scarce and cannot support them for a long time." The messenger replied.
In fact, if it is rationed according to the standard of one meal a day, six or seven days is not a big problem.However, there were 6000 people in the end. In order to manage them well, Liu Tao ordered them to continue cutting down logs to build a camp for the past few days. The original tents were also changed into log cabins, and the comfort level was naturally improved a lot.
These thieves are busy every day in order to be able to eat, and when they are allowed to rest, they are already half dead from exhaustion. They just want to sleep well, and they have no idea of resisting or escaping.
"I will send someone there as soon as possible, as soon as possible!" Zhang Wen said hastily.
This Liu Tao is too good at fighting, others are setting up an ambush, do you understand setting up an ambush?It is also possible to fight well and lose [-], not to mention tens of thousands of ambush soldiers!You are so good at fighting, why don't you just wipe out the rebels?If this continues, what am I going to do? !
Chapter 341 Zhang Wen Picks Up Cheap Online
Three days later, Liu Tao originally thought that Zhang Wen sent a partial division, about 5000 people, to take over the prisoners, but he didn't expect that the other party actually brought the main force here.
"Is there anything new about the thief?" Liu Tao had no choice but to find Zhang Wen and ask him.
"There is no more new information at present!" Zhang Wen said, "However, according to the information, the thief is still in Anding County and has not left. At the same time, the [-] ambush General Liu encountered also shows that the main force of the thief should be here, so this Coming soon."
The problem is that it doesn't look like you at all... Didn't you always say that you want to be stable?In the end, he took the initiative to come to the front line or something...
"Qi County is safe at the moment, and my subordinates have sent people to investigate within [-] miles around, and no enemy troops have been found." Liu Tao could only tell the situation on his side.
The key is to quickly accept the prisoners, hey!Do you still plan to let them cheat for food and drink under your command? !
Fortunately, the first thing Zhang Wen did later was to send someone to count the prisoners.It's just that Liu Tao felt that when he went to count, he was not only planning to receive them, but also to confirm whether he had randomly captured some civilians and pretended to be prisoners.
If he sent someone else, Liu Tao was really worried that someone would deliberately blackmail him, but it would be a different matter if he sent Huangfusong.The existence of this battle-tested general, known as "the last famous general at the end of Han Dynasty", can tell at a glance whether these captives are ordinary people.
The eyes of those who have killed and robbed things are different from those of ordinary people who are insensitive.
"No problem, all the captives are thieves." About half an hour later, Huangfusong came back to reply.
"It's just unreasonable..." Zhang Wen still couldn't accept it, "How can you defeat 1 people and only lose [-] horses?"
"This subordinate has asked a few captives a little bit." Huangfusong knew that Zhang Wen had such doubts, so he prepared in advance, "It seems that the fire cannot be lit in rainy days, and they encountered a surprise attack in the middle of the night. They didn't know who the allies were. Who is the enemy, so after paying a certain amount of casualties, the first thought is to run quickly, if you can't run, you can only surrender."
It is also because of this that the cavalry can't see the road, and they often bump into something when charging, so the horse breaks its leg.
The cavalry charge on a rainy night, and another point is that these thieves are not actually the main force of the thieves.The main force is only [-], and the remaining [-] are ordinary people who have not joined the group for a long time.
He must have done some bad things, such as breaking down a few docks, and then burning, killing, looting, etc., and he is no longer pure.
"I see..." After Zhang Wen knew the result, he felt a little better.In the rainy night, the vision was not clear, and the thief was caught off guard by being killed. Such a result is quite understandable.
Especially according to what Huangfusong said, many of these thieves can't see their way in the dark, and this kind of situation often happens to the poor.Blindfolded bird is a strange disease, but all the people at the bottom have a high probability of suffering from it.
"But why, the soldiers under Liu Tao's command don't have this problem?" Zhang Wen still raised a question.
"For this problem... it seems to be because of this." Huangfusong took out a small bottle, "I asked Liu Tao about it, and he said that the liver powder in this bottle can cure blindfolded birds... But what he said It's 'night blindness'."
Zhang Wen took the bottle, opened it and looked at it. It was a dark red powder. When he sniffed it closely, it smelled like a stench of liver.After hesitating for a moment, I poured out some and licked it a little. The taste was acceptable, with a slightly greasy feeling.
"This thing is not made from boiled animal livers, dried and ground, right?" Zhang Wen looked at Huangfusong.
"That's true. It seems that Liu Tao has ordered his subordinates to take this stuff on a regular basis since Zhuo County raised troops." Huangfusong nodded. In fact, he was also a little excited at the moment. After all, many soldiers in the current army also have that 'night blindness'. troubled.
At night, bonfires had to be set up everywhere to judge whether there were enemies approaching.Even so, you can only see the illuminated range of the bonfire, and you can't see it further away.In fact, not only new soldiers, but also many old soldiers have this problem.
From Liu Tao, I know that the blindfolded bird is suffering from the lack of something in the human body.As long as it is supplemented, it can be cured. Animal liver is the food that contains the most of this kind of thing. In addition, carrots also contain a lot of this kind of thing.
Carrots have been introduced at this time, but they have not been widely planted.There is no improvement in itself, so it is not much bigger than fresh ginseng. It has a lot of key fibers, and it tastes just like winter bamboo shoots.
"Immediately find a way to get a batch over here..." Zhang Wen was also aware of this, and quickly ordered.
"That's the problem. The livers in the Sanfu area have already been bought by Liu Tao." Huangfusong replied helplessly, "The liver itself is rarely bought, and the poor can't afford it. Butchers don't eat it themselves. Take it as a gift...there are not many in stock."
Fortunately, some livestock are slaughtered every day, and some livers can be obtained no matter what. However, liver powder must be made into liver powder, and it is unrealistic to invest in the army on a large scale. It is better to find a way to get a batch of carrots.
"This time, report to His Majesty to see if there is a large-scale acquisition." Zhang Wen thought for a while and said. In fact, he has been here for so long and has not made any achievements. He is also worried about the court's opinion.
It's good now, killing [-] thieves, this record is not very good, but it is not too bad.
The problem here was solved, and soon Zhang Wen was attracted by another matter, that is, several maps provided by Liu Tao, from Qi County, Jingyinpan County or Quail County, to Linjing County, several times. Map map of copies.
"These maps are..." Zhang Wen found Liu Tao, feeling a little excited.
The most important thing in war is the map, which is the information on the battlefield. However, all he can get is the general map of Anding County, but not the maps of the counties.
"The last few days the general is idle, so he sent people out to investigate." Liu Tao said nonsense in a serious manner, the kind that didn't even blush.
He didn't send people to investigate. These days, he relied on the "wind dragon's insight" to check the surrounding situation, and then painted wildly in the camp. This style of painting has improved a lot.
"Okay, okay..." Zhang Wen was overjoyed immediately, "For these maps, General Liu has done a great job!"
He really likes these maps, and he has drawn out the general terrain of mountains and rivers, which means that not only is it easier for the army to march, but it can also use the terrain to deal with thieves.
Anyway, he absolutely didn't believe that a thief could have the ability to draw such a map.
"Where is it, such a small skill, you can't be praised by the general." Liu Tao smiled, of course, if it really can be regarded as a credit, then he doesn't mind.
"Then..." Zhang Wen obviously didn't intend to let Liu Tao off like this, "Since the map is ready, I don't know what General Liu thinks about this hunt for thieves?"
"Meow, so you are waiting for me here!?" Liu Tao complained directly in his heart.
Chapter 342
"To be honest, the last general doesn't have any ideas up to now..." Liu Tao shook his head, "If you say that under my command, there is no way to attack the city. Interspersed with harassment on the periphery, looking for fighters, and if you are lucky, destroy some to dampen their spirit."
This is the safest way to say it, but if you really want to count it, it is actually the same as not saying it.It's just that there are more than [-] thieves on the other side. What can his four thousand cavalry do?
