Chapter 1209: Zhao Yun Makes a Move
Zhang Yu asked the armies to take turns to fight to get acquainted with the Roman army and slowly dispel their fears.
And he's always keeping an eye on the big picture.
Zhang Yu was in control of the overall situation, and various localities continued to promote innovation, and the cabinet took advantage of this Roman army incident to push forward some difficult work.
As long as the scale can be controlled, all problems can be initially solved within half a year.
There is opposition to innovation, and it is serious now.
But now it's all pressed down.
Zhang Yu personally led the army to fight against the demons in the west, and no one dared to oppose it at this time.
If you don't dare to oppose it, then you will carry out innovation.
As long as the innovation is completed and you get acquainted with it for a while, there will be no reason to oppose it in the future, and no one will dare to oppose it.
Zhang Yu asked the soldiers to engage in wheel warfare, fighting for an hour or two at a time before retreating.
Ten days basically let the army go through it all over again.
This Ma Chao is also very helpless, and he can't do it if he doesn't fight.
If you don't fight, rumors are spreading, and now in Liangzhou, what you are afraid of is not a war, but an endless war.
If it drags on for a year or two, they will all go bankrupt, so if they stop and confront, I'm afraid these people will rise up and rebel.
Zhang Yu and Ma Chao both had reasons to fight, so they kept fighting.
However, both sides control the scale.
In these ten days, the Roman army lost more than 5,000 people.
But it is also more than 5,000 people, and the loss of some is less.
Ma Chao is also under a lot of pressure.
In more than ten days, Zhao Yun and his party have gone deep into the desert.
They had to bypass the Silk Road, as there were always Ma Teng's troops carrying supplies along the way to replenish several strongholds.
Zhao Yun led people through a large area of desert, and they directly bypassed many strongholds and walked directly through the desert.
It was a risky operation.
Not long after entering the desert, they felt the power of nature.
During the walk, they encountered various problems, but with their firm will, they still persevered.
In the desert, it is very hot during the day, and they can't strip naked, which can easily cause the water in the body to lose, and it is very cold at night, so they must be covered tightly.
Zhao Yun and his party walked very slowly, marching during the day, and they must stop and rest at night.
In the desert, physical depletion is too fast.
They were well prepared, but because of the hurry, the number of camels was not very large.
Relying on manpower to carry water and food, the physical exertion is too large, and they can't walk much every day.
After more than ten days of desert travel, some people gradually got sick, and they couldn't stop when they got sick until they died.
At present, more than a dozen people have died, and the risk of this desert is too great.
Zhao Yun No matter what difficulties they encountered, they continued to move forward, they had to go deep into the desert and cut off their supplies in the middle of the Silk Road.
"General, a transport team was found in front, and the outfits were Ma Teng's, and the ones transporting supplies were all supplies." A scout came over to report.
When they were found, they were two miles away, and the desert had very little to explore.
"Guide, where are we now?" Zhao Yun called the guide.
The guide pulled out a parchment map, and several people began to study it.
After some study, he said: "General, we must now be on the main road of the Silk Road. ”
Before, they had taken other paths, almost through uninhabited deserts.
And now, they have reached the main road.
"How long is it until we reach our target base?" Zhao Yun asked again.
"At least five or six days left."
Zhao Yun thought about it for less than two minutes before deciding.
"All prepare for battle, send a thousand men on a hurried march, make a detour to the front, and try to make it impossible for any of them to escape."
Zhao Yun decided to let this transportation team stay all.
Reconnaissance revealed that there were only a few thousand of them, and the most important thing was that they did not carry many weapons.
It's deep in the desert, and it's troublesome to carry weapons, and only some of them have them.
If you bring a weapon, you will be tied to a camel or put in a car.
Zhao Yun decided to kill them, that is, he wanted to impersonate them, and at the same time, if these people would not return immediately after arriving, then it would be more difficult for them to fight by increasing the manpower over there.
Zhao Yun began to arrange.
Some people have to run to the front, so the physical exertion will be great, so it is necessary to give them time to rest.
After some discussion, they decided to wait until dark.
"In order to prevent someone from going back to report the news, we must control their materials as soon as possible, as long as their materials are controlled, even if someone runs away, there is no need to be afraid."
After going deep into the desert for so long, Zhao Yun understood that if there were no supplies, it would be a miracle to survive in the desert for two days.
At night, when marching in the desert, they have to stop and rest.
In fact, most of this transport team is not an army, but a group of ordinary people who live on the edge of the desert all year round.
There are very few troops, only a few hundred people are troops.
The others were recruited farmers.
It's dark, and the desert is still very dangerous.
They began to set up camp.
Once the camp was set up, they hurried to eat and then went to bed.
In the desert, they know how to use all their time to rest.
You can only move forward if you have a good rest.
The temperature in the desert dropped quickly, and Zhao Yun and the others were already wearing thick clothes.
After resting and eating, they were about to go.
In the dark, in the desert, the enemy and himself had almost no scouts to monitor the surroundings.
Scouts will be lost if they are far away, Zhao Yun and they almost didn't have the habit of releasing scouts at night before, and they can't come back if they are released.
Zhao Yun and the others slowly approached.
Just as they expected, everyone hurried to sleep.
Zhao Yun and the others approached quietly, and even sent people to investigate.
It was very cold at night, and Zhao Yun and they were not comfortable.
As soon as night they went into action.
"General, we found out, they gathered some fighters to make it easier for us." The man who went to investigate came back and reported.
Zhao Yun nodded, then drew a simple sketch on the ground, and said to a few young generals: "Half of the people will deal with their combatants, half of the remaining people will control the supplies, and half of the people will control the people who are transporting the supplies." ”
Several people began to act quietly, sending people in batches.
And a thousand men who had been sent before were also surrounded from another direction at this time.
Zhao Yun and their materials were all hidden, and they would be dealt with after the war.
A group of people surrounded them, and no one noticed them when they were hundreds of meters closer.
In the desert, even if they are on guard, they can only be guarded from a few tens of meters away, but they don't think that there is an enemy in the desert, and they don't know how many times they have walked this road.
A group of people have slept to death, tired from a day in the desert, and they can sleep as quickly as possible.
Zhao Yun and they acted quietly.
"Kill."
"Don't move, whoever moves will die."
"Puff~"
Zhao Yun and the others suddenly moved and rushed up to take control of their camp.
A lot of soldiers were controlled before they could get up.
In the distance, before they could be killed, some of them reacted and took up arms to resist, and the prepared archers shot them to death.
After a battle, Zhao Yun personally led people to control hundreds of soldiers.
These soldiers did not expect someone to sneak up on them, and they were not prepared at all.
Some of the camels were frightened and ran around.
In the past, there were many bandits in the desert, but since the rise of Ma Teng, there have been none.
This time it suddenly appeared, so that they had no time to react, and they were directly wiped out.
There are some people who run out, but what if they run out, this is the desert.
