After this military general finished speaking, he glanced at the "childe" with some disdain, maybe he looked down on this "childe" from the bottom of his heart! After all, in his opinion, marching and fighting a war is based on years of experience, which is not just about reading a few books, after all, the opinions of many scholars are completely on paper, wasn't there a celebrity like Zhao Kuo before!

Because of the severe drought, the harvest in the past two years was very poor, the imperial court paid heavy taxes, and some unscrupulous families and profiteers joined forces to raise the price of grain. In addition, because of the epidemic of the plague, the life of the people is very hard, and in desperation, many people, whether they are young and middle-aged, old and weak, women and children, have gone up to the mountains to become bandits. Qingzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other states have a history of assassination, some are mediocre and incompetent, the military cannot suppress bandits, the literature cannot calm the people, some have the heart but are powerless, the upward line is not effective, the yang is against the yin, and they are simply unable to suppress the bandits. Moreover, although the robbers are not many in number, there are only a few dozens, and there are hundreds or thousands of them, but there is nothing they can do about them. Either there are horses, come quickly, go quickly, or hide in the familiar mountains, it doesn't take time and energy, you can't find it at all, and there are "big hidden in the world", like ordinary people, you can't beat it to death with a stick!

The boy said no more, and returned to his previous position with his horse on his horse. Then the warrior would continue to give the order to divide the people into three groups, one to lead the way, one to protect the horses in the center, and one to break the rear, and rush through the canyon. After giving the order, the military commander grabbed his horse between his feet and rushed towards the canyon not far away, followed by the others. However, at this time, Zhang Xuan found that the boy just now did not make any movement, just shook his head gently.

The moment the general led the people into the canyon, he heard a rumbling sound, stopped his horse and looked at the top of the canyon, only to see many thick trees and boulders rolling down from both sides of the cliff.

"It's not good, get back!" When Childe saw it, his face changed greatly and he shouted.

"Ahh A burst of screams rang out, and in the blink of an eye, the soldiers and horses walking in front were crushed under the trees and boulders, some of their limbs split, and some of them directly became unrecognizable, which was unbearable. The soldiers in the back hurriedly retreated, but many were also injured by trees and stones. At this time, the general and the soldiers behind him were separated by these trees and stones, and were located on both sides.

At this time, I don't know who shouted, "Look, there are robbers on the mountainside, run!" The rest of the soldiers looked halfway up the mountain, and sure enough, there were people there, with knives, guns, bows and arrows, and even some clubs. The rest of the soldiers looked at this scene and could not care about the horses, and fled like a tide. At this time, Gongzi shouted loudly, "Stop, these are some rabble, you all come over to clean up the stones, and when we meet with General Tian, we will counterattack." Those who violate the order will be killed! But none of the soldiers heeded the boy's shouts.

But at this time, there was a burst of laughter on the mountainside, and when they heard this laughter, all the soldiers stopped, "Haha, the people outside the canyon listen, count your fate, today grandpa and I are very merciful, I will let you go, you all let me go, if you dare to step into the canyon, I will let you all die here." With that, the men all laughed and left.

At this time, the canyon was quiet again, the air was filled with the smell of blood, and the moaning of soldiers and horses made the whole valley look particularly terrifying.

Zhang Xuan raised his head and looked at the scene in the canyon, anyway, no one would notice their existence at this time, Nie Zheng and the others crawled to Zhang Xuan's vicinity, Shi Qian opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Xuan, are we just watching like this?" Don't you want to get involved? These horses are all good horses! ”

"Let's take a look! Let's just watch the show, anyway, we won't have anything to lose. If you have the chance, go for a profit! If you don't have a chance, so be it! But the times have changed, do you still know horses? Zhang Xuan's eyes were still fixed on the front.

"A little understanding, a little understanding" Shi Qian noticed the disdainful gazes of others, and said: "Okay, in fact, I watched this group of people are so precious to these horses, and they have to protect the horses in the middle, so I think this horse should still be good!" ”

In fact, Zhang Xuan's heart is still quite interested in these horses, after all, the war horses in this period are very valuable, if you can train cavalry, it will be even more treasure, if you are still trained by yourself to ride a tiger and wolf, it will be even more bullish13! The combat power of the cavalry is not a simple one-to-several problem for the infantry, and if the infantry wants to encircle and kill the cavalry, there is no absolutely favorable terrain, it is nothing more than hitting a stone with an egg! Of course, if your infantry has Xu Ning's hook and sickle technique, using a hook and sickle spear, with a hook and hook, hiding in the shadows, and taking it by surprise, it is absolutely feasible, after all, Hu Yanzhuo's chain vest was broken in this way. But now Zhang Xuan just has this idea, bringing it back to the camp and raising horses is a big expense? Whether you can afford it or not, this is a big problem, and there is no place in the camp to train cavalry! After all, those lands are to be used for farming, and if you practice horseback riding in winter, it will be too luxurious!
