Chapter 59: A Call for Help
"Wow!"
The horses of the cavalry were still tied to the women who had been snatched from nowhere, the looted treasures were hung, the scimitars were wielded, and the fast horses were harnessed.
"Whoosh!"
The Qiang had only entered the city for a hundred meters, and as soon as the leader rode through his neck, an arrow passed through his throat and continued to shoot at the horses. Although there was not much lethality left, it also disturbed the war horses.
"Ah!!h
The head horse is frightened, and the horses behind are naturally disturbed. Before they could react, arrows came from an unknown angle and took their lives.
"Line up! Shoot the arrows! "The enemy formation was scattered, and the impact was hampered. Instead of charging with a sword, your cavalry can fire arrows instead! Continue to reduce the enemy's combat power.
"Put!"
Two rounds of arrows rained down, and most of the Qiang people were killed and wounded.
"Whoosh!" An arrow went straight to Guo Yi's front door, "Smack!" Guo Yi stretched out his hand, grabbed the arrow steadily, took out the seven-stone strong bow that Shaofu customized for himself, and bent the bow and arrow.
"Whoosh!" Kill two birds with one stone!
"Ahh A black shadow flashed into the enemy formation, and only a sword light was seen, and everywhere the Qiang people passed were all sealed by a sword.
Immediately after that, a white figure flew out from the roof of the house, and in an instant, the entire street was shining with sword light, and the sword qi was like a wind and clouds, and the yellow sand was rolling between the streets, covering the sky and the sun.
The cavalry looked at everything in front of them speechlessly, it seemed that there was no need to appear today......
"Looks like I'm going to be promoted!" Yan Hua walked out of the sandstorm, his sword was already in the sheath, and he was holding the head of the leader of the Qiang cavalry in his hand. This outfit completely outlined her good figure, the perfect arc and the dangerous and deadly smell, and the soldiers who watched it drooled.
Guo Yi took the head and patted the horse back, "Tell Fan Xin to count the battlefield!" ”
"No."
Victory is always the most exciting! In the eyes of the people who have suffered from the war in the past few years, this victory is the hope and dawn of their survival. The enthusiasm for labor was fully mobilized, and the property seized from the Qiang people also played a great role in motivating.
rescued more than a dozen women from the Qiang horses, and they were all considered to have good facial features. According to the performance of the people in the past few days, they were promised to a group of young people with the highest efficiency in work. With real-life examples, the motivation of other young people has also been mobilized. It's not easy to find a daughter-in-law who can see it in troubled times!
Fan Xin proposed: "My lord, now that we are victorious, we should take this opportunity to move west and sweep away the Qiang people in the county. ”
"There's no hurry." Guo Yi rejected the proposal, and briefly pointed out the approximate location of each county in Wudu County on the sandy ground. Among them, Fu County is close to Hanzhong, which is considered peaceful for the time being. Qiang County is the farthest, located on the border, and the mountain road is conservatively estimated at 600 miles, which is tortuous and tortuous, but I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort.
The remaining five counties of Xiabian, Wudu Road, Gudao, Shanglu and Hechi are all on the line south of the West Han River, and the longest distance is only 400 miles. Moreover, since these counties were relatively stable in the past, the infrastructure was also perfect, and the roads were basically available, with only a little rectification, there was no problem at all in restoring communications.
The key to controlling this area is not to expel the Qiang, but to unify command. The most important thing for this group of people to obey the command is to resume production and ensure a basic food supply.
"I would like to learn about the techniques of post-war reconstruction through the relocation of Gudo Prefecture." Guo Yi is just an ordinary office worker in modern times, and all his knowledge of urban planning comes from middle school geography classes.
Of course, there is an explosion of modern information, and there is a lot of messy knowledge. Coupled with an open-minded mind and a materialist dialectical methodology, some simple solutions can be found for all kinds of practical problems. In modern societies that experienced World War I and World War II, post-war reconstruction is a well-known issue. As a half-otaku, I have also played several business simulation games, and I have a basic idea of how to form a city.
But he had to figure out how adaptable the modern scientific method was in the ancient societies of thousands of years ago. Only when you have mastered the knowledge of post-war reconstruction can you have the possibility of stabilizing the source of food in the process of chasing the Central Plains in the future! The princes are not fighting for hegemony by foreign invaders, they want the loyalty and servitude of the people, and ensuring that food always comes first!
Fan Xin touched his chin and said in a deep voice: "Then you need to buy grain and grass from Chen Cang." It would be best if we could get the assistance of the imperial court, because winter would soon begin, and there would be no food growing in the fields. ”
"Well, let's purchase grain and grass for emergency first." Guo Yi nodded, the geographical situation of Wudu County is indeed difficult to be self-sufficient, so find a way to survive the winter first.
"My lord, this is someone from Liangdang County, please send troops to rescue." The sentry brought in a middle-aged man in a tattered Hanfu, with tired eyes, leading a donkey, who seemed to be in great pain.
Guo Yi frowned, he didn't want to distract himself from crusading against the other Qiang people now, "Let's talk about the situation." ”
"Adults must save us!!" The people who came told them about the situation of Liangdang, and their village was killed by the Qiang people and suffered heavy losses. Moreover, those Qiang people were stationed in a small town not far from Xiajiao, and there were about a thousand of them, and they came out to plunder twice in three days, and the Han people led the way. More than two, even the next distinction can no longer bear it.
Guo Yi discussed the matter with Fan Xin, hesitating whether to save it. Fan Xin thought for a long time and said, "Lord, we should go and save it!" There are two reasons, first, we are the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, how can we not save the people of the Han Dynasty when they see death? Rescuing towns and villages can also increase their prestige and convince the public. Second, exterminating the Qiang garrison can also improve the preparedness of the subordinates, and the seized materials can also be used to fund the people. Our army can also be replenished somewhat. ”
"Good! Send troops to the rescue. "What Fan Xin said is very reasonable, these towns will have to be rescued sooner or later, and if you go to save them now, you can seize some more materials.
Guo Yi gathered his own soldiers, cut off the heads of the Qiang people, and swore an oath.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Ever since I started my army in Zhending County last year, you have been with me! We are all fellow villagers, so we should be in the same boat and make immortal contributions in this troubled era! Today I would like to swear an oath with you to advance and retreat together! Together! Do you care? ”
"Swear to follow the !! of your lord"
"Swear to follow the !! of your lord"
"Swear to follow the !! of your lord"
"Good! Everyone, take this dragon bone pill, and in the future, we will take the 'dragon riding camp' as the name! I will definitely spread my martial name all over the world! ”
"Yes!"
Three hundred elite soldiers who followed Guo Yi all the way, subdued the Dragon Bone Pill, and their physique skyrocketed on the same day, and their strength and speed were doubled! After a day off, the sergeant was excited to go to the battlefield to try his edge!
Straighten out the armament, hand over the old road to the county magistrate for arrangement, and lead the army to Liangdang.
Walking out of thirty miles, seeing wolf smoke rising in the southeast direction, the leader pointed to the mountainous area in the southeast of Liangdang, and said: "My lord, the nest of the Qiang people is in Gangzi Village ten miles away. ”
Guo Yi nodded and said, "Let's go to Liangdang first, and then go to the crusade after sorting out the defense." ”
If it is very critical, we must consider whether to move the population into the old way and concentrate the population in order to play a greater role.
Fan Xin observed the terrain, there were mountain roads winding and twisting, and said: "Lord, there is a plan!" ”
"Do you want to take down the Qiang Lair first?" Guo Yi also had this idea, but he didn't know the other party's situation at present, and it was risky to rush into the army, so he chose a more secure plan.
Fan Xin nodded and explained, "Since we exterminated the Qiang cavalry five days ago, these Qiang people have not moved, but they are afraid that they are gathering their troops. If we go to Liangdang first, the Qiang people will inevitably realize that if we drag the battlefield into the township, we will accidentally injure the people. Now a direct surprise attack on the Qiang camp can be a preemptive strike! ”
It's hard to say whether this strategy is good or bad. Fan Xin's starting point is to fight quickly, which is also in line with Guo Yi's consistent style, but he always feels that he should stabilize the people first.
"My lord, it's time to decide!"
"You, lead the way! We're going straight to the enemy camp! ”
