Chapter 240: The Condor Bow is Captured
After a fierce battle, Su Yi's side lost nearly two hundred people, most of them were cavalry under Scar, and they suffered heavy casualties when they broke into the opponent's spear formation, on the contrary, the casualties of the sword and shield soldiers and wrestlers were not large.
Cheng Lin's slaves and guards also suffered heavy casualties, and during the scuffle, in order to protect the eldest lady, the slaves of the Cheng family did not hesitate to block the impact of the red-clothed thieves with their lives, and the casualties were naturally not small. And Ma Bin led a group of martial artists to pursue the victory, and in the jungle fight, the defeated armor army was killed, and it was okay for these people to fight with the wind, but once the situation was at a disadvantage, they would immediately rout and mutiny.
However, these martial artists go south and north, all of them are human spirits, and the ability to fight a smooth battle is more experienced than the bandits in Taohuazhai, this kind of beating the water dog is the most suitable for them, the sword and shield soldiers of the cottage are experienced in battle, whether it is attack or defense, once the enemy breaks and flees, it is difficult for them to maintain a formation with a heavy shield on their backs.
Scar quickly pursued with the cavalry, successfully killing several small leaders of the armor army, and only escaped the opponent's main general, and Scar cut several of the opponent's own soldiers in a row in anger.
"Lord, the weapons and armor of these red-clothed thieves are not bad." Li Goudan walked up to Su Yi with excitement on his face and handed him a battle armor of the Armor Army.
Su Yi took it in his hand, frowned slightly, called Gu Dayong who was hiding in the crowd to him, and asked: "These armor styles are somewhat similar to the armor of the imperial court, but they are not the same, what is going on?" ”
Gu Dayong also knew that his previous performance was too poor, so he tried his best to laugh at this time: "My lord, as far as I know, the armor of this batch of armor armours is all improved from the inferior armor in the treasury of Nanyang County. As soon as the red-clothed thief took Nanyang County, he went to the warehouse to count the armor, but unfortunately, in addition to the inferior armor, there were almost no pieces of medium armor and upper armor left in the warehouse. ”
Su Yi asked with some confusion: "There are not a few high-grade armor and medium-grade armor left in the huge Nanyang County?" ”
"Not bad!" Gu Dayong hurriedly nodded and said, "Not only is there a lack of high-grade armor in the warehouse. Even the soldiers of Nanyang County wore ordinary light armor, and these high-grade armor were all sealed and stored in the warehouse, and before they could be put on by the soldiers, Nanyang County was taken down by the red-clothed thieves. ”
Su Yi said: "This is strange, there are a lot of armor and weapons stored in the warehouses in Shangjun County, and this Nanyang County is far superior to Shangjun County in terms of geographical location and people's wealth, so this situation will occur." ”
Gu Dayong said with a smile: "Actually, it's easy to explain, the original Nanyang County Guard is Liu Yu's confidant, Liu Yu has always been friendly to the Hu people, so much so that the Hu people openly set up Hu City in Youzhou." It is said that the top-class soldiers of Nanyang County were sold to the Hu tribe. ”
A hint of coldness flashed in Su Yi's eyes, and he said coldly: "A county guard actually sold the armor strictly controlled by the imperial court to the Hu people? ”
Gu Dayong said disapprerovitously: "What's strange about this, Tian Million has taken down several officials in Youzhou, and learned from them that Liu Yu Lao'er not only has trade contacts with the Hu people in private, but even secretly sells materials such as jackets, cotton clothes, and food to some Hu tribes to help them survive the cold winter." Not only that, Liu Yu Lao'er also wanted to sell the heavy pole crossbow guarding the city to the Wuhuan people. It's a pity that the target of the heavy crossbow is too big, and there is still a Liaodong between Youzhou and Saiwai, and Liu Yu Lao'er can't bypass Gongsun Lao'er, so he can't successfully sell the heavy machine crossbow to the Wuhuan people. ”
Su Yi took a deep look at Gu Dayong. "Where did you get this information?" he asked. ”
Gu Dayong's face slowly showed a wry smile, and he said helplessly: "My lord, before I was captured by you, I was Tian Wanwan's confidant. has won over a lot of Youzhou forces for him and won his trust, so these news are naturally known. At the beginning, Nanyang and other places were captured by red-clothed thieves. Many officials in the city didn't have time to escape from the city, and they were all taken down by Tian Million. ”
"I see." Su Yi suddenly smiled, he glanced at Gu Dayong, and said, "You are good, stay by my side, I will not treat you badly." ”
Gu Dayong was stared at by Su Yi, and said stiffly: "Villain...... The villain is only the head of the adult. ”
Su Yi nodded and said, "I know that you don't mean what you say now, but it doesn't matter, you just need to know that you are now my prisoner and my slave, if you are not obedient, I don't mind slashing you with a knife." If you want to live, you have to do things for me. ”
Gu Dayong said with a bitter face: "Yes...... The villain got it. ”
Su Yi smiled slightly, and ignored Gu Dayong, this person actually knew many inside stories of the high-level in Youzhou, with him in hand, Su Yi was equivalent to holding Liu Yu's handle, once the time was ripe, Su Yi didn't mind letting Gu Dayong come out to testify against Liu Yu.
Li Goudan was clear-minded, seemed to see Su Yi's thoughts, glared at Gu Dayong fiercely and said, "If you dare to play any tricks again, Lao Tzu will crush you." ”
Gu Dayong glanced at Li Goudan, the fat boy in front of him was black-hearted, he suffered a lot of losses in the hands of this fat boy, and he was naturally very afraid of Li Goudan, and he didn't dare to say much at the moment, so he had to laugh and say: "Lord Dog is too worried." ”
"Huh?" A trace of murderous intent flashed on Li Goudan's fat face, and he shouted, "What did you say? ”
Gu Dayong glanced at Su Yi pleadingly.
Su Yi waved his hand at Li Goudan and said, "As long as you don't kill him, you can do whatever you want." ”
"Thank you, my lord!" Li Goudan looked at Gu Dayong with a cruel smile, this guy thought that he was still useful to Su Yi, so he dared to use words to squeeze him, his fat hand suddenly pressed on Gu Dayong's neck, and lifted him aside.
Gu Dayong struggled to beg for mercy, Su Yi smiled slightly, and did not stop Li Goudan. Gu Dayong is very useful to him, not only to expose Liu Yu's thieves in the future, this person was Tian Million's henchman, Tian Million didn't know that he had been captured and surrendered to the enemy, Su Yi could use him to sneak attack several other counties near Nanyang County.
Taking 10,000 steps back, Su Yi wanted to retreat to the Zongheng Mountain Range safely, and he couldn't do without Gu Dayong.
With Gu Dayong and Liang Kuaitong General Token, they can successfully pass the level set by the red-clothed thief, lest Su Yi and the others take the path again and encounter some bandits and have to fight several fierce battles.
The sword and shield soldiers and wrestlers that Su Yi brought down the mountain this time suffered heavy casualties, these are the elite soldiers of Peach Blossom Village, and they were lost on the road, which made Su Yi not feel heartache.
Fortunately, this capture was quite rich, in addition to some improved inferior armor, Su Yi also captured a lot of bows and arrows. These bows and arrows are different from the bows and crossbows of the imperial court, they are all Hu people's condor bows, although the range is not large, but it is durable, and the bowstrings are made of cow tendons, which are not only durable, but also have excellent toughness.
And the red-clothed thief master left a two-stone hard bow on the battlefield surprised Scar and the others, this is a two-stone iron tire bow, polished quite exquisitely, Scar took a fancy to this iron tire bow at a glance, and before he could speak, Su Yi threw this iron tire bow to Scar.
"Scar, this iron-tired bow will be used for you, and you will take all the rest of the bows back, and when the time comes, you will pick out five hundred manufacturable materials among the cottage archers, and all of them will be equipped with this kind of bow, and these five hundred people will be your personal guards from now on."
Scar was overjoyed, although he was the second leader of Peach Blossom Village, but without Su Yi's consent, he was not allowed to form a personal guard privately, at this time, with Su Yi's permission, he was not coy, he took the iron tire bow at the moment, and said loudly: "Thank you Brother Su!"
