Chapter 817: Strength

Liuzhou and Gyeongju are separated by no more than 200 miles, the terrain is relatively flat, and there is a small river in the middle that separates the two states into two worlds.

Since the previous year, news of the imminent war began to spread, and the people between Liuju and Gyeongju began to leave their hometowns and leave this land of right and wrong.

However, it is not easy to leave their homeland, not only is it difficult to leave their homeland, but what they rely on for survival is the land under their feet, and how can they live without the land?

But the rich and noble families gradually left the place, and only ordinary people prayed in fear that the war would not come.

Last year, the Shuozhou Army and the Jizhou Army went south, and even those who didn't want to believe it had to believe that a big war was inevitable.

So even ordinary people had to grit their teeth and leave, and after Wei Qingfeng came to Liuzhou, he also began to migrate the people north of Liuzhou.

Now the villages and towns north of Liuzhou can be described as very depressed, almost deserted, and only some old people in the villages and towns are really unwilling to leave their hometowns, so they stay.

On the contrary, although the people in Gyeongju were also panicked, they were not as panicked as the people in Liuzhou and had to leave their homes.

Although the war has not yet begun, there is quite a lot of peace between the two states.

Since the beginning of spring, the sentinels of Da Zhou and Nanchu have been fighting between the two states, most of them meeting and fighting on the border, but also the sentry has entered the camp that is close to each other.

But after Tangning issued the military order, there were more sentry spies sent by Gyeongju all of a sudden, not only the secret agents of the Shuozhou army, but also the cavalry sent to the grassland.

The battle line between the sentinels was suddenly pushed into the territory of Liuzhou, and now the sentinels in Liuzhou are unable to cross the river to spy on intelligence.

"The village is empty, and when I enter the village, I can't find anything, bad luck!" A steppe cavalryman cursed.

"Definitely, it's just a matter of luck, the people here have moved away, and the valuable things must have been taken away, as long as Liuzhou is broken, then it will be rich, and after Liuzhou, it will be gold and silver everywhere!" The cavalry in the lead lazily said.

The other cavalrymen who accompanied them were not discouraged, for they all knew that the people had already moved away.

The originally lazy cavalry suddenly became excited, and roared: "There is movement ahead, chase quickly!" ”

A group of ten pegasus horses chased after them, and after they chased them, they shouted excitedly, because there were sentry agents from Liuzhou in front of them.

In their opinion, the Liuzhou sentry in front of them all exudes silver light, and they are all human heads! Just bring the head back and you will receive a silver reward.

Not only the heads, but also the swords, bows, and horses are all silver! War horses, in particular, are very valuable.

The cavalry of the southerners was far worse than theirs, and they met a Liuzhou sentinel yesterday, but they didn't engage in battle, but they only shot a few rounds of arrows and killed all the Liuzhou sentinels.

Therefore, they made a small fortune, and this small fortune was made so easily, without any thrills, which was the most surprising thing for them.

Now that they have come out to investigate, they are all rushing to come out to investigate, and they are not because they can make a small fortune because of the small danger?

"Take it easy, aim and shoot, don't shoot the horse again!"

The steppe cavalry who were chasing on horseback drew their bows and threw them together, and ten arrows flew towards the Liuzhou sentinel in front.

Several screams rang out, and the three fell off their horses.

The steppe cavalry is the best at horse archery, and even the accuracy of archery on horses is not low, and three out of ten arrows are hit.

The Liuzhou cavalry, who was galloping, was shocked and shouted: "Spread out, it's the grassland cavalry!" Roundabout, fight with them! ”

The remaining Liuzhou cavalry slowed down and made a detour to both sides to prepare to charge and kill, because they understood that they could no longer escape, and the ultimate consequence of continuing to flee was to be shot and killed continuously.

The remaining Liuzhou cavalry slowed down and detoured, and the pursuing grassland cavalry was not idle, they also slowed down, and the bows and arrows in their hands did not stop.

Two more Liuzhou cavalrymen fell off their horses with arrows, and the Liuzhou sentinels, who had lost more than half of them, finally rushed over, and the grassland cavalry also put away their swords and drew their scimitars and rushed forward.

The rest of the Liuzhou cavalry had a look of resentment in their eyes, eager to kill all these steppe cavalry. The steppe cavalry who rushed to kill were all fiery and excited.

The shouts of killing were loud, the brutal fighting came and ended quickly, the corpses on the ground were scattered all over the place, and the smell of blood wafted out.

The remaining Liuzhou cavalry was outnumbered and all annihilated, perhaps they knew this result from the beginning of their backlash killing, and they also had the mentality that killing one was enough to kill two and earn money.

Although they had this determination, they only fought out one steppe cavalry, and one was seriously injured, not because they were not ruthless enough, but because the disparity was too great, and the two fought one.

"Put away the war horse, cut off the head, take Tagu and let's go back, Tagu is dead, we must bring back the loot that belongs to him to his family!" Walk! ”

There were such fights everywhere outside Liuzhou City, and the sentinels in Liuzhou City suffered heavy losses. The atmosphere in Liuzhou City is already a little dignified.

"Dashuai, only half of the sentinels sent out today have returned, and they have suffered heavy losses, not a single one has crossed the river, and the situation in Gyeongju has not been detected."

Wei Qingfeng's face was a little solemn: "The emperor of the Great Zhou has been in Gyeongju for a long time, and he hasn't even moved his troops yet!" ”

Hu Delu shouted: "Don't let him move his troops, just kill him directly to the Gyeongju camp, this is called a surprise, kill him!" ”

For Hu Delu's words, everyone should not have heard them, and one of the generals beside Hu Delu muttered: "Marshal, the 300,000 troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty are here, and the consumption of grain and grass is huge, and the Great Zhou Emperor cannot wait forever, and now the sentry detectives have been killed, and they should be sent out soon." ”

Sun Ercai said: "Although the consumption of grain and grass is huge, but the Great Zhou has strong national strength, and Donghai City has taken out 10 million taels of silver to support the Great Zhou, how can there be a shortage of grain and grass?" ”

Speaking of these 10 million taels of silver, the faces of the surrounding generals all sank slightly, and Hu Delu scolded and said: "What kind of bullshit master is the pavilion master, he is a girl and a silver, according to me, he should have brought down Donghai City a long time ago!" The silver of the white flowers is cheaper than the big week! ”

The surrounding generals all shook their heads, how easy it was to take down Donghai City, Da Zhou would definitely not sit idly by.

Wei Qingfeng didn't pay attention to Hu Delu's words, and after pondering for a long time, he said slowly: "Shrink the scope of exploration, fifty miles!" ”

After hearing this, the generals had no objections, after all, the sentinels sent out had suffered too heavy losses, and sending them out to investigate in the depths would be fatal.

Now that they have finally comprehended the strength of Da Zhou, their hearts have become heavier.
