The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

"The year is Jiazi, and the world is blessed!" The soldiers responded one after another. It seemed that these two sentences had some kind of magic spell. After reading them, the whole person became no longer afraid, and even became excited.

"Kill the thief!" Zhang Fei was immediately annoyed when he heard the words, you guys actually yelled louder than me?Unable to bear it, he yelled violently.

Almost in an instant, the thunderous roar pierced through the air, shaking the cavaliers a little, let alone the soldiers behind them.Almost everyone paused subconsciously, and then...then they realized that the enemy army had come in front of them. At a distance of 40 meters, the cavalry of the two armies charged and arrived almost in the blink of an eye.

The cavalry under Zhang Fei pierced into the team of the bandit cavalry like an awl, directly broke through a gap, and then continued to expand, tear, and then disperse. If I insist on a metaphor, it is like a storm, sweeping past .

Compared with him, the thieves' army probably came rushing quickly, just like encountering a weakened breeze and being hit by a storm, they immediately dispersed.

Zhang Fei was really enjoying this feeling at the moment. The spear stabbed the enemy in a speeding state, and then pierced him with the momentum.At the same time, the momentum pushed him backwards, so he had to slow down when the mount was involved, and was finally knocked into the air by the snow-treading Wuzhao under his seat.This kind of speed and passion cannot be experienced by infantry battle formations.

In just one encounter, hundreds of enemy cavalry were directly dispersed by him, and the thief general was killed on the spot. Surprisingly, none of his own troops fell from their horses, and almost none of them were even injured. At most, their hands were twisted.

Raising his hand, Zhang Fei looked at the back of his hand. The skin there seemed to have an extra layer of hard cuticle.Seeing this, he immediately understood in his heart that his elder brother should be secretly casting spells to help.

The headquarter of the thieves was dispersed, and even the generals of the thieves had already been executed. Naturally, they did not dare to continue the fight. There were probably dozens of remnants. Those who could walk away would turn around and leave. Those who could not, had to wait on the ground for Zhang Fei’s captives. .

"Mr. Marquis, do you want to go after him?" asked the village chief below.

"You take your subordinates and chase for ten miles. If you can't catch up, forget it!" Zhang Fei thought for a while, and then ordered.The head of the village immediately took orders and led a hundred cavalry from his headquarters to pursue them.

"I can only go for one round... It's not fun..." Zhang Fei rode back to the front line, and he had to make fun of it.

"Yide is also really brave. He dared to confront the thieves face to face." Seeing that there were no casualties in the army, Liu Tao was also relieved, and he had to go forward and complain.

"The thieves didn't have guns, and the two armies were facing each other. We attacked them first. What are we afraid of?" Zhang Fei laughed, "The key point is that if they dodge, I just turn the horse's head and pass through from the side. No matter how the opponent responds, I have the advantage!"

Although he likes speed and passion, he likes the feeling of fighting on the battlefield, and his personality is a bit impatient, but he is definitely not brainless.

"My lord, the bandits on the other side have also retreated..." Jian Yong suddenly pointed to the other side of the river.

Everyone looked over, and sure enough, after confirming that the cavalry of their own army was defeated, the infantry on the other side also began to withdraw quickly, not wanting to fight.

Chapter 102 Thoughts After the War

"The enemy army seems to be just probing..." Lu Yan obviously also saw the clue, "It's just to find out our truth."

"If we were an ordinary militia, we might have been eaten by the other party just now." Liu Tao shook his head, 3000 people beat him to 1000 people, and [-] of them were crossbowmen.If it weren't for the shock of the storm arrows, the opponent's sword soldiers might really be able to break through the defense of the sword and shield soldiers.

At the same time, he couldn't help but think that Dong Zhuo might have to go through Huguan to Changshan Kingdom and finally enter Julu County when he came from Hedong.In history, he was defeated by the Yellow Turban Bandit here in Xiaquyang. Could it be that the opponent used this trick?

I had thought about it before, if Dong Zhuo came from Hedong, he might really have to go through Huguan, pass through Changshan Kingdom and enter Julu County, and in the end he would probably face the same problem of crossing the river as he did.

"Now there are more than 500 people coming from the other party, and only a thousand or so will go back. I'm afraid Zhang Bao will be more cautious." Jian Yong is concerned about other aspects.Caution means fewer openings, more casualties in frontal combat.

"Just be cautious..." Liu Tao didn't care too much, "Perhaps Xia Quyang is our last battle against thieves this time. Even if the sacrifice is greater, we must take Xia Quyang down."

In other words, if you don't even have this awareness, then simply don't command troops to fight.Killing one thousand enemies means self-inflicted damage of eight hundred. Even with the help of magic, at most a part of the casualties can be reduced, that's all.

He has not yet been so naive that he can be invincible with a little magic, at least in the early stage, he still needs to be self-aware.

"The last game? Why?" Zhang Fei had already come back, and just in time to hear this sentence, he couldn't help but stepped forward.

"If Zhang Baodu, the general of the land, is defeated by us...does he still plan to take the heads of Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang with the regular army of the imperial court?" Liu Tao replied.

"That's true..." Zhang Fei was taken aback when he heard the words, and then came back to his senses.

The military order given by Lu Zhi is for them to 'contain', and after in-depth interpretation, it can even be seen that the other party does not think that they can break through Xia Quyang.So this military order can be understood in this way: hold Zhang Bao's troops here, wait for the army to go north, and then work together to defeat it.

Two thousand eight hundred soldiers and three thousand auxiliary soldiers, regardless of the auxiliary soldiers, there are only so many soldiers.On Zhang Bao's side, there were at least tens of thousands of people, and at the same time they had the advantage of defending the city. Naturally, Lu Zhi couldn't expect Liu Tao to take down Xia Quyang.

What is needed is harassment so that Zhang Bao does not dare to divide his troops to go south easily. If there are too many people, his side will be in danger, and even if there are few officers and soldiers, he can eat them.So in this matter, the word 'containment' is very important.

If the officers and soldiers have wiped out both Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang before going north, then the battle of Quyang will naturally become the last battle, at least this battle is over, some small local wars , just leave it to the local area to solve it.

Typical officers and soldiers eat meat and drink soup in the local area. Jian Yong said earlier that Liu Tao suppressed bandits when he went to a place and did not give soup to others, which meant the same thing.

"Continue to cross the river. We have already wasted almost half an hour in order to deal with the other party." Liu Tao didn't talk nonsense, and ordered to continue crossing the river.From the thief's appearance to his retreat, although it was very short, the time was almost half an hour.

There is a special time officer in the army to confirm the time. Of course, if you have lived in this era for a long time, you can roughly guess what time it is by looking at the angle of the sun.Although this method will only work on sunny days.

But then again, if it really rained, and if it was a heavy rain, no one would fight at this time.Not to mention the enemy, even the own army can't see clearly. It will be a lot of fun to kill yourself for a long time.

"Cross the river!" Lu Yan also came to his senses, and quickly arranged for the soldiers to cross the river.

"Keep the soldiers on guard, no one knows if the enemy will come back!" Liu Tao added, starting from now, is to enter the enemy's territory. At this time, you never know when the enemy will come.

Although there is no need to be so nervous, the wind is threatening, but the necessary vigilance cannot be relaxed.

Speaking of which, the craftsmen who have never stopped working have completed the construction of the third row of pontoon bridges, and the three rows of pontoon bridges are linked together. Even if cavalry canter on horseback, it is not a problem, and the buoyancy is really sufficient.

Even if this is the case, the soldiers should be asked to help carry some food and supplies to reduce the weight of the cart.The trouble is a little more troublesome, but safety comes first.

After at least four hours of busy work, the [-] troops crossed the river one after another, and there was no way to move on. After all, it was already around four or five o'clock in the afternoon.Shi Guan looked at the weather conditions, and then stepped forward to report that it might rain tomorrow.In this season, it is normal to see rain every few days, and there will be more rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and there may even be one or two typhoons.

"Let's set up camp..." Since it's likely to rain, Liu Tao has no way to let the soldiers stay overnight, so he can only order to set up camp.The location is chosen in an open area, where the view is good, and the "wind dragon's insight" can be used for early warning.

It was also in the past ten days that he finally understood why a distance of thousands of miles can be covered in about eleven days, and why it often takes a month or two.

It rains from time to time in this weather, so there is no way to march in the rain, right?Even if it is possible, what about the armor and food supplies on the body?So when it rains, you have to set up camp and wait for the rainy day to pass.

If you really want to count it that way, Lu Zhi has been besieging the bandits in Guangzong since around the middle of May, is it because of the rain that he has been unable to fight?Liu Tao simply calculated the time and found that starting from the middle of May (lunar calendar), it was around the summer solstice, approaching the minor heat and the major heat... Even if it doesn't rain, can we fight wars?

It's a good thing that Zuo Feng can still slander Lu Zhi for not taking the initiative to attack, so let him lead troops to fight in such a hot weather?

The key point is that Emperor Ling still believes it. I really don't know whether Emperor Ling doesn't know about the season, or in his opinion, even if the corpses of officers and soldiers are scattered everywhere, he should give priority to hunting down thieves?Considering that Lingdi also started a business with his mother when he was a child, the latter is most likely!

After receiving the military order, the soldiers began to work one after another. The pontoon bridge was dismantled, but the planks were still usable, at least they could be used to set up the camp.Some simple horse pits were dug, and bonfires were prepared in four directions to build a simple barracks.

With the protection of the fence, the soldiers felt a lot more secure in their hearts.The Huotou army started to bury pots to make food early, perhaps relying on water, but tonight it seems to be a big soft steamed bun.It's a pity that there are no fishing villages or fishermen, otherwise you can buy a few fish and add vegetables.

At the same time, the soldiers who fled back finally returned to Xiaquyang and found Zhang Bao immediately.

"I sent out [-] soldiers, but only [-] came back?" Zhang Bao was very dissatisfied with the results of the battle, and said that the situation was not good, so he ran away immediately, but so many died.Especially cavalry, what the Taiping sect lacks most is cavalry.

"Enemy army..." The thieves who had escaped had to add fuel to the story, telling the strength of Liu Tao's troops.

"You dare to lie to me?" Zhang Bao suddenly became violent when he heard the words, "You might as well say that the frontier army has gone south!"

But I don't want the thief general to reassure again and again that the officers and soldiers are indeed very powerful. Even if Zhang Bao still doesn't believe it, he has to be cautious...

Chapter 103 Zhang Fei Caught a Cold

"It didn't rain..." I woke up the next day and looked at the sky. Although there were clouds, it was not as rainy.Looking at the weather like this, Liu Tao couldn't help feeling emotional.

That’s right, even the weather forecast of future generations cannot be 100% accurate.I still remember that ten years ago, there was a joke that was 'Where do you go to find this kind of occupation with an error rate of more than 70% and you will not be fired'.

"I'm very sorry..." Shiguan stepped forward to apologize. According to experience, it should rain today, but unexpectedly it didn't.
