Liu Tao wanted to find someone, Zhang Fei was not ambiguous, and he didn't even ask the reason, so it naturally made sense for his brother to find someone. However, the next six or seven days passed, and there was still no news from this man who was nine feet tall and blushed like a date.

On the contrary, 1,000 homeless people were recruited, and another 1,000 people were recruited to supplement the Zhuangzi as a householder.

The school field was established outside Zhuangzi in the east of Zhangjiacheng, and this grass head team was temporarily led by Liu Tao, Zhang Fei was the deputy, and Lu Yan was the military advisor and the chief secretary of the march, which was temporarily set up.

"Spike, thorn!" Zhang Fei was responsible for training sword and shield soldiers, Lu Yan was responsible for training archers, and Liu Tao naturally took over the training task of pikemen. Deducting the strength of the daily struggle, it is to line up and turn to walk in unison and this trick to level the stab.

"Big brother, why don't you practice anything else, just practice this trick?" Zhang Fei saw it by chance, so he came over to ask.

"After the spears are arrayed, the space on the left and right is limited, and the attack range is only directly ahead. In this case, it is a waste to practice other tricks, as long as you exercise the flat spurs. Liu Tao replied, "The key is the queue, it must be neat, the spurs must be consistent, and at the same time, when changing formations, the steering must be fast, accurate, and neat!" ”

"It's about the same as the archers, it's nothing more than a volley before the two armies fight. In the wild, the combat effectiveness of archers is very limited, not as good as crossbowmen, the key is that this bow is only a hunting bow, and it is only a harassment against the enemy. "Lu Yan was in charge of training and commanding the archers, and he only knew how pitted this archer was when he officially took over.

It's okay to have an advantage in the terrain for an ambush, but the frontal battle formation is at most a salvo and it's almost useless. Maybe two years of training will be able to shoot the second round in a short time. It's just a slight carelessness, which will hinder the change of formation and affect the attack of the main force.

"However, even an attack can create a key fighter for our army. At the same time, when you go out to fight, you can also choose some favorable terrain to shoot, which improves the diversity of tactics and strategies. Take 10,000 steps back and say, if the imperial court does not allow the local militia to form a militia group, our militia can at least assist in defending the city, and the archers will play a greater role at this time. Liu Tao comforted.

"No wonder the eldest brother designated a hundred archers from the beginning, and it turned out that this was also taken into account!" Zhang Fei suddenly realized when he heard this, but he didn't expect that it was just Zhang Jiao's rebellion, and Liu Tao had already thought about so many things.

Lu Yan also nodded when he heard this, Liu Tao was indeed much more thoughtful than him. At the same time, I also realized that I still have some limitations when thinking about problems.

"As the saying goes, if you don't have enough horses, you hope to get a horse ......army of even about 50 people," Liu Tao sighed.

Fifty cavalry, even light cavalry, as long as they are facing the Yellow Turban Thieves, can easily tear apart the opponent's formation and scatter it in the case of a rampage. Originally, it was a one-on-one battle formation, but after it was dispersed, one of the opponent's soldiers could face two or three of his own troops attacking at the same time.

In this way, even if the opponent has three times the strength of his own army, it is only a matter of time before he is destroyed!

"Although Youzhou is close to the border, and the acquisition of horses is more convenient than that of other Central Plains Prefectures, the price of war horses has always been high...... "Zhang Fei was also a little embarrassed, and this thing, unless it is very familiar with the tribes of the grassland, no one else sells it.

"I'll figure this out later!" Liu Tao comforted, there were two figures in his mind at the moment, but he didn't know where those two people were, and whether they were willing to give generously to support him.

At the end of the day, there was a family Ding Ding who rode into the school field, and the dismount was even more bumpy, and it was not easy to come to the three of them. didn't care about etiquette, and shouted directly: "The master of the family, our team carrying wine was blocked by thieves in Lousang Village!" ”

"Tell me more!" Zhang Fei frowned when he heard this.

"There was a gang of thieves, probably in the hundreds, with yellow scarves on their heads, intending to loot our convoy of wine. No, not only us, but two caravans are also their target! Now the convoy, according to the proposal of the red-faced man who joined halfway, quickly withdrew into Lousang Village, and resisted with the help of the village's terrain, but the other party seems to be waiting for reinforcements, the situation is urgent, and I hope that the head of the family will make a decision as soon as possible! The family hurriedly said.

He had many colors on his body, and although his injuries were not serious, he looked hideous. It can be seen that in order to break through and report the news, he is also desperate.

"Lousang Village is only ten miles away from here, and it is still too late to pass, just to give the soldiers a chance to fight! According to this family's statement, the convoy encountered it is afraid that it is a yellow turban thief! Lu Yan immediately proposed.

"The Yellow Turban Thief really came to Youzhou...... Or did the local Yellow Turban thieves in Zhuo County respond with troops? Zhang Fei was puzzled.

"The army has been training for a few days, and it is indeed time to go and see the blood!" Liu Tao thought about it and immediately looked at the two, "Let's go to the actual battle this time!" ”

"It's just that the training time is still short, no problem, right?" Lu Yan was a little worried.

"None of the soldiers in my Zhuangzi are afraid of death!" Zhang Fei directly retorted, after all, these thousand soldiers were all selected from his village, and many of them were trained by him personally. Besides, in the past, when transporting wine, the family also fought with the thieves together with the family worshippers, and some of the family members even practiced their skills in this way.

Although fighting in a group and fighting are two different concepts, at least they are experienced, so to be honest, the training has been very smooth in the past few days. These Zhuang Ding will soon be able to adapt to their new identities, and they are all qualified soldiers in terms of consciousness and combat power alone!

"Then don't wait, the baggage troops will stay on guard, and the other troops will immediately assemble and go to the battle!" Liu Tao immediately ordered, time waits for no one, continue, the caravan may have problems.

There is another thing that makes him more concerned, that is, what Jia Ding said just now, in this team, there is a red-faced man who joined halfway, maybe it is the second master Guan he is looking for!

Hopefully, Liu Bei has not left a good impression on him, and he still has a chance to recruit him under his command.

Zhang Fei didn't talk nonsense, and immediately ordered when he heard the words, and the large army was immediately assembled. He checked his weapon armor for a moment, and then immediately began to move forward. Due to the lack of baggage troops, the marching speed was much faster, plus three meals a day were provided, and at the same time there was enough oil and water, the soldiers were much stronger than ordinary people.

Ten miles is five kilometers, and according to the speed of jogging, it will take almost half an hour to reach the vicinity of Lousang Village.

From a distance, it can be seen that outside Lousang Village, a group of thieves is trying to invade the village. And inside the village, the guards of the caravan are trying to fight back. The hunters among the villagers also tried to help with bows and arrows.

Maybe they know that the thieves attacked the village, and they were afraid that they would not be spared, and the villagers were very consciously cooperative.

Xu saw another army coming in the distance from a distance, and a red-faced man at the head of the village frowned. In the end, the thieves just came with about 2,000 reinforcements, who knows if more will come.

was having a headache, and there was a member of the Zhang family not far away, who suddenly shouted: "It's the militia of the head of the family!" It's reinforcements! ”

"I saw it, I saw it! The leader is Liu Ye, and next to him is the head of the family and the military advisor Lu Yan! Another shouted.

In the crowd, a man who was seven feet five tall with two ears and shoulders raised his head and looked at the team......
