Seriously, if you have enough strength and you like to be reckless, then obviously a hammer, a mace, or even a flail will work better than a broadsword or a machete.

As long as the strength is strong enough, then basically all of a sudden, you can open the scoop. There will definitely be weapon attrition, but at least there will be no worries about curling the blade, you can smash it all the way, and because the structure is simple and rough, it is easy to return to the furnace.

"Otherwise, help make a thousand axes to equip one of the cavalry and test the effect." Liu Tao thought about it, and then ordered.

This place is not too far from Shan Yuting, after crossing the river, it will be up and down for 200 miles at most. It is said that the city, as the frontline, should have been the first to be attacked by the rebels, but they did not attack, which is a bit unbelievable.

Or do you think there is no interest here, and you plan to invade Taiyuan or Shangdang, and go to the most prosperous area of Bingzhou to plunder?

Anyway, of the more than 10,000 people who have come over as a baggage force, 8,000 people have returned to Yunzhong County one after another, and the rest are auxiliary soldiers with a certain combat effectiveness, as well as 2,000 foot soldiers and hundreds of scouts...... Stay and sit in Luo County to ensure the safety of the rear.

Liu Tao is completely capable, with Luoxian as the center, relying on the movement speed of the cavalry, going deep into the hinterland of the Southern Xiongnu, and even going out to find traces of the rebels, and then have a good fight.

"Have you found any signs of rebels lately?" To deal with the master craftsman, Liu Tao had to care about the traces of the rebels.

After all, no one wanted to, the front was just attacking Shan Yuting, and then the thieves suddenly killed from behind, and they came back and forth.

Or suddenly an ambush somewhere, waiting for them to come to the door. The 'Wind Dragon's Insight' has too little scope to detect, and it has to rely on some basic reconnaissance methods to understand the surrounding situation.

"No trace of the thief was found, and his subordinates plan to increase the scope of investigation one after another. However, some news of the rebels was inquired about in the dock fort. Zhang Liao, who was in charge of commanding the reconnaissance cavalry, replied, and took him out this time to accumulate experience.

According to the calculation of his birth in 169 A.D., he is twenty years old this year. However, he has already reached the crown early, and similar situations will occur, such as his father died early and had to take over all the affairs of the family early.

So he made the crown ceremony early, and began to take on everything at the age of fourteen or fifteen, which is not uncommon. As for his expression 'Wenyuan', it is said that his father gave him when he was alive, so Liu Tao had less opportunity to give him the word.

"Tell me about it." Liu Tao was a little curious about this statement.

"First of all, the subordinates found some breached dock forts, and occasionally found a few survivors. They said that the rebels had taken all the people of the fort captive and did not appear to be in a hurry to kill them.

Continue to reconnoiter within a radius of fifty miles from Luo County, and occasionally you can see one or two dock forts that have not yet been breached. They had been attacked by the rebels almost twenty days earlier.

When the rebels found that they could not be breached, or that the consumption was too great, they abandoned the attack and quickly moved east. However, it was not the Hu people who rushed over first, but a group of Han people. However, the Hun cavalry would shoot around the dock fort to cover these Han people. Zhang Liao replied.

After a pause, he then made a summary: "The subordinates believe that during this time, the rebels mainly recruited a large number of Han people around to enlist in the army, and the purpose may be to break through the Great Wall and enter Taiyuan, and before that, come in to avoid unnecessary battle damage." ”

Although it has been a semi-agricultural civilization, the Southern Xiongnu still retain too many characteristics of the steppe peoples. For example, it's understandable that you're not good at sieges, so you need a lot of meat shields and cannon fodder.

Liu Tao remembers seeing something similar before, that is, the Hu people drove a large number of Han Chinese to the city wall and told them to attack the city. This group of refugees-like cannon fodder came to the city wall and begged for mercy.

However, the soldiers guarding the city could not put them in, and in some times, the Hu people would also mix up spies. As long as these people are allowed to enter the city, then the gates of the city will be opened immediately, and the kindness of a woman for a while may lead to the fall of a fortified city.

Or, throwing a large number of corpses that began to decompose into the city with catapults is considered the most primitive and cruel biological weapon. Perhaps it is precisely because of the lack of moral education and humanity that as long as it can win, the means can be used to the extreme.

Obviously, because of these means, Hu and Han are completely mortal enemies, but it does not mean that one or two generations can make this hatred dissipate. According to the Ram faction, the revenge of the ninth generation can be avenged!

"You're doing a good job!" Liu Tao admitted that the news that Zhang Liao heard and the results of his analysis were very reasonable, "Next, we must gradually find out the whereabouts of the main force of the rebels, so as to facilitate our next attack." ”

"Whoa!" Zhang Liao nodded, his analysis could be praised, and he was very happy as a young man.

"Plus!" Liu Tao thought for a while, "It cannot be ruled out that the main force of the rebels will come, and at that time, a large number of Han people may be driven over to attack the city." I have only one request, if the remaining lieutenant and Sima of the other department plan to be kind to the woman, open the city gate and let these Han people in, and give you the right to cut first and then play! ”

"Can't you put it?" Zhang Liao hesitated.

"Maybe these Han people are mixed with rebel spies? Our logistical baggage is here, and if there is a problem here, maybe our only result is to retreat back to Yunzhong County......" Liu Tao replied.

"Subordinates understood!" Zhang Liao may be a benevolent man, but he is also a qualified and excellent soldier. After understanding the key points, his expression also became resolute and decisive.

"Maybe it will be a little uncomfortable then, grit your teeth and persevere. In the future, this revenge should be repaid a hundredfold! Liu Tao patted him on the shoulder, "Your potential is good, as long as you study hard and increase the following combat experience, you may not be able to become a good general in the future, don't let me down!" ”

"Whoa!" Zhang Liao nodded solemnly, a little excited in his heart, he didn't expect the general to take such a fancy to himself.

Seriously, will it be a bit risky to completely hand over the rear to Zhang Liao to be responsible? Liu Tao thought about it, and then left Gao Shun's trap camp behind.

The trapping camp belongs to the heavy infantry, with only 500 soldiers under its jurisdiction, each of which is the most elite part of Liu Tao's corporals. In fact, there is one thing that Liu Tao is very strange, the number of people trapped in the camp in history is 700, and it is rare to reach 1,000......

Of course, it may also be that Lu Bu can't afford to raise it, but he uses the battalion as a unit. There is a saying that there are two songs and one song, five parts and one battalion, and two battalions and one army. According to this ratio, the battalion unit should have five thousand soldiers and horses.

There are only 700 people trapped in the camp, and it is more appropriate to say that it is not so much a battalion as a song or a department......

Gao Shun didn't say anything, and after receiving the military order and receiving the order, he immediately stayed with the trapped camp, not ambiguous at all.

After a period of contact, he gives people the feeling that he is very ascetic, or that his emotional intelligence is not high. As long as he obeys orders, he doesn't care if it's difficult or not. Even if he encounters a problem, he will only think about how to solve it!

Liu Tao was very happy that before he was loyal to Lu Bu, he was loyal to himself first......

With him and Zhang Liao here, there should be no problems on the Luo County side, the rear is safe, and they can make waves on the front line!
