Maybe it's a temporary camp, and I didn't plan to stay here for a long time, so the protective measures here are very ...... Simple, no, it should be described as shabby.

The camp is simply fenced off, and this thing can't stop the enemy, but only the beasts that come in suddenly.

And because of the rain, the sky has darkened, and most of the thieves are nested in tents, and they don't even have the intention of coming out. Speaking of which, there are no watchtowers around here at all!

"Is it so poorly prepared?" Lu Bu looked at the camp in front of him and couldn't help complaining.

"Around this camp, there are two or three outposts, which serve to defend this side and scout in advance. Unfortunately, we cleverly bypassed those camps. Of course, Sun Jian knew why this place was arranged like this.

The main thing is that there is no need, if there is a battle in the camp in front, it will inevitably attract the attention of this side, and when the time comes, it will be killed from here to support, and there is no need to stay behind at all.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, if they can quietly destroy the outpost camp, then no matter how high the guard on their side is, there is no point. It's a makeshift camp in itself, so there's no need to be that complicated.

It's just that these thieves who came to set up an ambush probably didn't expect that they, the 'hunters', had become Liu Tao's 'prey' at this moment. Basically, ambushes and raids like this were almost ineffective against Liu Tao's troops.

Unless Liu Tao didn't notice it, or couldn't find it in time, or like now, Lu Bu and the others divided their troops out, and he couldn't contact and command them in time.

"Charge! To teach the enemy the most painful lesson, this is our greatest respect for the enemy! Lu Bu burst into a shout, and the army quickly charged.

Before the rebels could react, or hear the movement, the cavalry had already entered the camp, and by the coincidental circumstances, they had killed them directly at their tent.

When the leader of the rebel army was about to put on his armor and come out, Lu Bu had already killed him. Fang Tian's halberd swung down violently, bringing up a blood arrow, which was then slowly diluted under the rain.

"Cut...... It's bullying children. Lu Bu complained boringly, it wasn't even a warm-up battle.

The whole camp of thieves was in disarray, but it didn't make much sense, the leader of the thieves was dead, and they couldn't organize an effective counterattack at all. Especially this damn heavy rain, which severely obstructed the view.

Lu Bu and the others are actually similar, but it doesn't matter, the ones walking on the ground are the enemies, and the ones on horseback are friendly troops. I don't know if the other party is so different, anyway, he can only tell like this at present.

If you really accidentally kill your own people...... It shouldn't be, after all, even if they fall off the horse, according to the lord, the protective layer on their bodies can also slightly ensure that they are not so easily injured.

At this time, even if you take a beating, it is estimated that at most you will be beaten out, and it will not be so easy to die.

"General, there are a lot of thieves who have slipped away, can you chase them?" About a quarter of an hour after he was killed, a soldier came to inquire.

"What kind of ghost weather to chase, they can run around in the woods, it's good not to get lost before the rain stops!" Lu Bu replied casually, "Save some strength, this is just their main camp, but don't forget, there are still three outpost camps waiting for us to patronize, and there is still work to do!" ”

If you know that there are so many pus here, there is no need to bring them all, just bring the troops over yourself, and Huang Zhong and Sun Jian can deal with several other front-line outpost camps respectively.

Maybe it's Liu Tao's words, which still have some impact, especially because there are too many uncertainties in the rainy day, so he has to be conservative.

"Three outpost camps, there shouldn't be many people in the calculation, five hundred to one thousand in each camp, how about the three of us divide our troops to deal with it?" Lü Bu immediately approached Huang Zhong and Sun Jian and asked for their opinions.

"No problem!" The two nodded, especially Sun Jian, who didn't expect that it would be so simple to defeat an enemy camp of thousands of people. I have fought so many battles before, and I have looked at my soldiers several times, and I have paid at least half of the price......

Meow, suddenly I felt that my mentality had collapsed, and I couldn't figure it out, whether the thief had become weaker, or if he was too weak before.

When I really got to the outpost, I found that the war in the rear did not disturb the rest on the outpost. Maybe it's because they're five or six miles apart, or maybe it's because the heavy rain is beating in the mountains and forests, and the sound hides the traces of war.

But Lu Bu felt that it should be the outpost's feelings, the road coming from the front was monitored by them three times, and if they didn't break through their three camps, then the main camp behind them would not be able to do anything.

As a result, who knew that Liu Tao knew so much about this ten miles radius, so the army took a little detour, but thanks to the approaching night, it was raining again. The soldiers under Liu Tao's command did not have the problem of night blindness at all, but their vision was somewhat affected, and at most the marching speed was slower, which did not affect anything.

So when it was almost the second half of the night, the thief camp of nearly 10,000 people was actually defeated by Liu Tao's 4,000 people. However, it should have appeared, that is, at least more than 200 horses were damaged.

It's all slippery on the hillside, and it is estimated that there is no way to become a war horse again, so it can only be pulled back and put away, when to sell it as a ploughing horse. Of course, riding shouldn't be a big problem, but I just can't run fast.

"Is two hundred horses worth anything, or is it worth two hundred soldiers?" After Liu Tao and Lu Bu converged, they looked at the battle damage and muttered.

"If the soldiers are recruited refugees, trained for less than three months, and the training is not high, two hundred war horses can at least be worth two thousand soldiers...... Guo Jia thought for a while, "But these soldiers under the command of the lord, let alone two hundred war horses, five hundred can't compare." ”

They are all veterans who are constantly winning, and they have a lot of courage and battlefield experience. The main thing is that the degree of training is high, and such soldiers, at least for ten to twenty years, are real elites. After 20 years, he will go to the second line to guard the town, and he can guard it for 10 to 20 years.

Their greatest value is that when it is really necessary, Liu Tao will recruit tens of thousands of recruits, and these people can immediately become officers, starting at least at the rank of chief. Tens of thousands of troops, a simple training for a month, can immediately gain combat effectiveness.

From the age of twenty, or even seventeen or eighteen, he began to enlist in the army, and he could serve Liu Tao for almost forty years. Every such elite soldier is a treasure. And for war horses, the age of service in gold does not exceed fifteen years.

"Fortunately, there are still enough war horses in the rear...... Liu Tao also sees it that way, but there are a few war horses, such a battle, if he can, he hopes that there will only be one time, and he really can't afford it.

"Anyway, why can you light a fire here?" Sun Jian couldn't help but ask, and came to meet, only to find that piles of bonfires had been lit here.

You know, after the war, the whole camp was a mess, and even if there was fuel, it was wet.

"As long as there is a way, it's just a fire, it's not difficult." Liu Tao smiled mysteriously and dealt with it casually.

Rocket is actually a good spell, and in terms of normal circumstances, it is slightly more powerful than magic arrows, but it lacks concealment. After all, a flash of fire flew out, especially in the night sky.

With the acquisition of Fire Comprehension I., this magic gains an additional ability that continuously ignites the target, dealing damage over time.

To put it another way, when he fired at a pile of firewood, the firewood was lit, and it burned continuously, and in the process, the firewood was dried, and then naturally it could be divided into piles, and the bonfire was gradually lit.

When it's raining or snowing, it's a very happy thing to have a bonfire to dry your body.

Sun Jian knew that Liu Tao had something to hide, but seeing that the people around him looked like a matter of course, he also knew that he was just a guest army, and if others intended to hide it, he couldn't help it.

When Huangfu Song asked him to come over, on the one hand, he let him know some things about Liu Tao, and on the other hand, he also warned him not to explore Liu Tao's secrets too much. I didn't understand why there was such an inconsistent suggestion before, but now I seem to understand.

Then I didn't bother to think about it so much, so I obediently came to the campfire and dried my body, which was really uncomfortable.

The tents have been set up by the soldiers one after another, and there is barely a place to shelter from the rain in the mountains and forests. Even if the rain continues tonight, the army can spend the night here with peace of mind.

Just as Lu Bu had predicted, the thieves got lost in the dark and rainy mountain forest. Even if there are more than 4,000 escapes, it is estimated that it will not be so easy to gather in the end, and it is good to have hundreds.

A few hundred people returned to the headquarters camp outside Linjing County and reported the situation here.

"What do you think?" Bian Zhang looked at Beigong Boyu and Han Sui, and looked more at the man beside Han Sui.

In April of the previous year, there was turmoil in Liangzhou, and at that time, this person responded to the state and county recruitment to join the army and became the main force in counterinsurgency. In April last year, he was a general, and he was Ma Teng!

Joining the rebels this time, one is Geng Contempt, who has the grace of knowing him, and was murdered by his subordinate Li Xiangru. The second slogan played by the rebels was the Qingjun side, which obviously fooled him, so he joined.

Seriously, there is no doubt about this person's ability, but whether he can be regarded as his own person, Bian Zhang does not guarantee it.

"We received news that officers and soldiers will send people north to Qi County in the near future." Han Sui replied, "So we ambushed the way we had to go, and so far, this strategy is not wrong...... The problem is that the other side seems to know that we have ambushes, and even know the distribution of the camp......"

Judging from the situation reported below, the other party should have avoided the outpost camp and pointed directly at the main camp in the rear. If you're not familiar with their layout, you won't be able to do that.

"So I suspect that there are people among us who may have ties with the officers and soldiers." Han Sui finally came to a conclusion.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes obviously looked towards Ma Teng beside him. If you really want to count, only Ma Teng may not be of the same mind as them.

"Ma is definitely not a villain who betrays his own people!" Ma Teng snorted coldly and said slowly. But whether others believe it or not, it is impossible for him to do it.

"My brother-in-law, I can guarantee that he is not a spy!" Han Sui also came forward to protect it, after all, on his side, he still has to rely on Ma Teng to support the scene, Ma Teng has a problem, and he has the right to speak in the army, but it will be dangerous.

It's just that he just can't figure out who the spy is!
