Chapter 525: Self-Replenishing Brain (Part II)
Zhu Xiaobao was a little stunned, although he brought 400,000 horses, plus the female warriors of Lingyue Mountain and the army developed in recent years, there were 800,000 horses. But compared with the coalition army of King Zuo and King Ming, it is still more than half of it. This is the war?
"Huh! It's not about going to war, it's just about grabbing some benefits! Frustrate their spirits! Duanmu Qi said with some nonchalance.
"Isn't this called war? How many people have run out of this, 20,000? Thirty thousand? Or fifty thousand? Zhu Xiaobao asked a little puzzled, holding a telescope and staring at the few people running in front. are all the people he can't rest assured of, Yu Shuang, Yu Xue, Wu Yue, and Yu Li, who are still following Jumei in the back! Zhu Xiaobao looked back, Jumei did not follow behind him today, and thought she was practicing, but she didn't expect to go out to fight behind her!
"What kind of eyes do you have? Just 10,000 elites! Duanmuqi grinned and said, this guy's feeling about the number of people is too bad! How do you see that 50,000 people are coming?
"Mmmm, I saw it with a telescope, so I didn't see it as comprehensively!" Zhu Xiaobao hummed and chirped perfunctorily, in fact, he had too little actual combat experience, which caused him to have no specific concept of the number of people.
But at this time, Zhu Xiaobao didn't bother to ask, he had been staring at the few female generals speeding on the battlefield, but don't have an accident!
But Zhu Xiaobao's worries are unnecessary, these 10,000 female warriors are absolute elites, not only superb riding skills, but also tacit action, and the distance is maintained quite well. And their war horses are the best, and they ran for more than ten miles in a blink of an eye!
The tribes that stood on the outskirts of the Garanga camp were the least popular tribes. These tribes are also divided into distant and close relatives, such as the Mutu tribe is stationed in the center of the camp, basically there is no danger, usually it is the night check post, and some patrol soldiers can be sent between the camps. But these peripheral tribes must be very cautious, no matter day or night, they must step up their precautions, once there is an abnormality, they are the first to fight!
But this time it was a bit chaotic, and their horses were scattered and grazing. It's not that the forage transported has been burned, so these tribes have not been distributed, and they can only find their own way.
What else can they do, they can only let their horses out to graze. Of course, this is also a helpless move. Now that the war is about to break out, the war horses should not be released at all. Moreover, it is more reasonable to feed in the stable, and the forage is added with concentrated feed such as soybean flour to ensure that the war horse has enough nutrition. Although the horses that graze freely can meet this requirement, they have to eat grass for a day, so the people of these tribes can only watch their horses graze leisurely from a distance.
But under the boredom, they are all listless, some people sit together and start gambling, some find a shady place to start smoking, and some even take out a few sips of wine gourd. On a hot day, the armor on his body was also taken off and put aside.
No one expected that the female warriors of Lingyue Mountain would rush over with lightning speed at this time. Don't look far away, but their horses are scattered everywhere grazing, and it's really not easy to get it back immediately!
"Quick! Fast! Find your own war horses and hurry up to meet the enemy! Hurry up, hurry up! Put on your armor! It's all the female warriors of Lingyue Mountain! At this time, the lazy soldiers also began to panic, and hurriedly began to put on their armor and look for their own horses!
After such a delay, those female warriors had already rushed to the front, and these soldiers could only rush to the battle in a panic. But before they could reach their effective range, the arrows of the oncoming female warriors had already been shot! Suddenly a large number of dead and wounded, and the rest did not dare to stay where they were, and retreated like a tide......
It turned out that this was all carefully planned by Duanmuqi, and he had already discovered that those pineapples were grazing war horses, and those soldiers were very slack. It took advantage of the ultra-long range of the female warriors to catch the other party off guard. Just because their formation was maintained very well, and they were always outside the opponent's range, so they were unscathed.
But then those defeated soldiers were a little dumbfounded, these female warriors did not chase and kill at all, but directly began to snatch those scattered war horses, these horses are all high-grade Western war horses, although they are not as good as the war horses bred and domesticated by Lingyue Mountain itself, but for those ordinary soldiers, it is already quite good! And every war horse. Even the saddle stirrup reins are matched, as long as you catch up, you can walk away!
Isn't that shameless? After running for more than ten miles, is it here to grab these war horses? The warriors of those tribes are angry and annoyed, and there is nothing they can do! Who would dare to chase it? These female warriors are fierce masters. It's already very civilized today that there is no killing spree!
By the time the main force in the Jialanga camp rushed over to reinforce them, the 10,000 female warriors had already led their horses away, leaving only those soldiers who were stunned and had lost their horses! In fact, this is a huge loss for a tribe, these are all one in a hundred, and now they are snatched away so easily, and even the saddle is returned to others, which cannot but be said to be a huge loss.
When Zuowang Jialanga heard the news, he immediately became angry, this is simply a provocation! She really wanted to kill these soldiers who had lost their horses, but in this case, there would not be many people left in this tribe who could fight! Besides, the cause of the incident was also because the forage was burned, so they would release the horses in Nanshan and let those war horses eat grass by themselves!
At this time, the fire in the granary was still burning, and less than a third of the grain was snatched out desperately, and the rest could only be burned to ashes!
Jialanga trembled with anger, and she really wanted to send troops to war now to vent her anger. But seeing those disgraced soldiers, she gave up this plan very rationally, and now she is angry, and those soldiers are a little panicked, and they have no fighting spirit at all!
"What the hell is going on? Madame Princess, your people were also present, but they all saw it, we didn't carry anything here, but the granary was still burning! "Jialanga had no choice but to come to King Ming's Mansion again, and she was very depressed thinking about Princess Ming's complaints! It's almost like saying that there is a problem with these grains!
"I already know! I suspect that someone made a mistake in the food, but I don't see any clues! In this way, I will send another 10,000 deniers! First of all, I will guarantee you two days of supplies. In this way, even if it is burned again, there is not much loss! Princess Ming said with a gloomy face.
Princess Ming is also a little psychologically bottomless now, this kind of brainless thing is the most headache, and she doesn't know where to start to solve it. The key is that various rumors have begun to appear: some say that Zhu Xiaobao can call the wind and rain and set fire in the air, and some say that the nine fire tripods on the Qixing Platform at the beginning indicate that they will be burned nine times. There are even rumors that the next time Zhu Xiaobao does something again, he will kill people in the air!
Now the method adopted by Princess Ming is already the most secure and cautious, and Jialanga has also used the method of direct distribution to various tribes, no longer piled up in the granary, which is equivalent to spreading and transferring the risk!
But the next day, something unfortunate happened, the storehouses where several tribes stacked their grain were burned, and these tribes were busy, and they were also very worried that if their grain was burned, would Jialanga Chitose compensate him......
On this side of Lingyue Mountain, it was joyful, those female warriors went out with 10,000 people and brought back almost 20,000 war horses! Some people lead three or four war horses alone, and Jumei is even more proficient, she was originally born in herding cattle and horses, so she came back with a group of war horses, and I don't know how she did it! Anyway, those disobedient war horses have been killed by her on the spot!
"Piglet! I have rushed back a hundred war horses, is there a reward for good wine and meat? As soon as Jumei came back, she shouted at Zhu Xiaobao, she still wanted to show herself in front of Zhu Xiaobao!
"Reward? It's good to have no family law to serve, who let you run out, you should be by my side to protect me, okay? And you, like madmen, run out and grab the war horse! What if the opponent's catapult launches and there are casualties? Zhu Xiaobao said a little annoyed, his idea was to minimize unnecessary casualties.
"Humph! How can there be no immortal in war! We didn't do this for the sake of increasing the strength of Lingyue Mountain! Wu Yue pouted a little unconvinced.
"Do you need to take such a risk? When the time comes, my redcoat cannon ...... Wait a minute...... Brother-in-law, come here! Zhu Xiaobao still wanted to teach Wu Yue another lesson, but suddenly thought of something, called Duanmu Qi aside, and asked in a low voice: "How many shells and mines are still in the inventory of Lingyue Mountain?" Isn't it enough? ”
"Hmmm! You just remembered! Since you're gone, you've been making those things except you, and of course no one can make them anymore! And all the saltpeter sent by Ye Qinghong was also sent to you. So now there are not many stocks left, less than six hundred shells, and even fewer of those mines, and a hundred of them are out of Hachitu, and three hundred! Duanmuqi nodded and whispered.
"Huh! I didn't expect that! It seems that this time we really have to rely on cold weapons to fight! But why didn't you say it in your letter? Zhu Xiaobao was also a little dumbfounded, why did he ignore this problem!
"Huh! Having said that, you don't have time to make it, and I want you to participate more in these traditional battles, and also increase your experience. You see, isn't it also a mess of Jialanga now! This thing can't be relied on too much, after all, it still depends on people and horses to fight wars now! Duanmuqi said with a smile.
"Alright! Even so, I have another way to defeat Garanga! ”
"Well, that's right!"
