Chapter 241: Breaking the Ground and Conquering (10)
"First of all, Lefeng's subordinates on the opposite side are all infantry, and only generals will be equipped with war horses, so the stored forage will not be too much, enough for those war horses to need in January, but the prepared forage was announced to be out in just two days, which means that there is a cavalry that arrived in Lefeng's army very quickly, and we can make a simple conversion through the consumption of forage, and it is not difficult to figure out the number of cavalry.

Mo Zhai walked down the city quickly, and said to Zhang Han as he walked: "And today, the intensity of their attack is much lower than in the past, and the hour is still early, and the soldiers have already received the order to return to the camp, which means that their feint mission has been completed, and there is no need to come out to act again, so it can be seen that the cavalry has left." โ
Mo Zhai suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked, "Tell me, where can the cavalry passing through our defense area go?" โ
"Where can I go?" Zhang Han's mind turned extremely fast, and after a little thought, his face suddenly turned pale.
"Guiling County! These cavalrymen are going to Guiling County! โ
Since the battle in Qingyun County began, Luffy has been very, very busy, he feels like a bee, flying to this end and then flying back to that end, there is no moment to be idle at all, fortunately, there is Gongsun Ze in Guiling County who controls the overall situation, and the preparation of grain, grass and ordnance is in good order, Luffy is directly responsible for transportation after returning to Guiling County, which really makes him a lot easier.
As usual, Luffy checked the amount of materials to be delivered, and was ready to set off, but this time the delivery was different from the past, most of the materials were strong crossbows, crossbow arrows, etc., and the grain and grass only accounted for a small part, although it felt a little strange, but Luffy always controlled his bottom line, that is, he should not ask. After the materials were counted correctly, three drums sounded, and Luffy took the escort team and the people to set foot on the official road to Qingyun County.
The blazing sun shone its brilliance wantonly, the long official road glowed with a faint white light under the sunlight, the dry soil flew up with the rotation of the wheels, and the fine soil foam stuck to the arms and faces of the surrounding soldiers into small scabs.
Luffy swallowed and spat, and looked forward with his hands on the pergola, his mouth still cheering for those people.
"After the slope ahead, we will reach the eucalyptus forest, and the big guys will work harder! When you get there, you can get some rest! This **** weather is hot to death! โ
"Commander, Commander!"
Lu Han, the captain of the guard, hurriedly ran over, and saw that no one around him was paying attention to him, so he leaned into Luffy's ear and whispered: "Commander, it seems that something is not right, the scouts sent out earlier, there is no trace, so I sent out another team, but no one has come back until now." โ
Luffy, who was originally a little drowsy, snorted violently, pulled Lu Han aside and hurriedly asked, "How long have you been sending out the last group of people?" โ
"It's been more than half an hour."
"Quick, herald, camp and rest! Surround all the carts on the perimeter, gather the people in the middle, and unload all the bows and crossbows, so that the troops are ready for battle! โ
"Whoa!"
The sudden order made the baggage convoy chaotic, and the smooth transportation of so many times had already made these escorts slack, but fortunately, the inertia of long-term training was still there, although it was a little chaotic, but everyone quickly shrank into the formation and defended.
"Lujรกn! You send a few more people back to Guiling County for help! Right away! โ
"All the soldiers were divided into three columns, and one column after another shot crossbow arrows, and immediately wound them up! No delays! โ
"Weapons are issued to all the people, not to kill the enemy, only to protect themselves, on this great plain, two legs can't run on four legs, escape can only be death, there is still a chance to survive in battle, let them do it themselves!"
One order after another came from Luffy's mouth and was carried out, and the entire military array quickly became operational, gradually turning from a docile sheep into a hideous monster.
Hiding in the eucalyptus forest, he was very depressed, he never expected that the commander of the baggage battalion would be so cautious, and he would release scouts far away on his own territory, in order to ensure his concealment, he had no choice but to intercept and kill the group of scouts, but this was only the beginning, the second batch of scouts came as scheduled, and he could only continue to intercept and kill, but the consequences of this had already been revealed, and the scouts who did not return for a long time aroused the vigilance of the other party, and the baggage team actually stopped in place and made a defense. Originally, they wanted to leave and want to continue to hide, as long as it dragged on long enough, the baggage team under the scorching sun would not last long, and the scorching sun would help them exhaust their physical strength, and it would be much easier to deal with such a group of tired soldiers at that time. However, when he saw that they had sent messengers in the direction of Guiling County, he knew that his plan to wait for work had fallen into vain, and that he had to attack.
"Get on the horse! Charge! โ
In the eucalyptus forest, the dense cavalry slowly walked to the open space outside to line up, their identities revealed by their uniform armor and fluttering battle flags.
Luffy stood in the middle of the car formation with a gloomy face, the outer circle of the cart was full of grain and grass, although it could block the attack of the infantry, but it could not stop the leap of the cavalry, and the only thing he could rely on now was these limited food soldiers, although weapons were issued to the people, but the people were people after all, and their combat power could not be counted on.
This was the first battle he commanded, and I guess it will be the last.
I didn't have time to think about it, the cavalry on the opposite side was completed, and the tall war horse ran slowly, and as the distance approached, the speed of the war horse became faster and faster, and the soldiers behind the car formation could even clearly see the face of the knight on the horse.
"Shoot!"
Luffy's tearing sound resounded through the sky, and the force was so hard that it even distorted his face.
The arrows flew up, like a dense swarm of bees, overwhelmingly facing the cavalry that was coming to the charge, and the one who rushed in the middle was taken aback, he never expected that these ordinary soldiers were equipped with so many bows and crossbows, and they couldn't be guarded against, and the knights who charged in the front row bore the brunt of the attack, and they were hit by arrows and fell off their horses, and the complete formation was torn out of a gap.
"Accelerate! Rush up! Fast! Fast! โ
Taking advantage of the interval between the crossbow arrows, he urged the soldiers around him loudly, as long as he crossed the obstructive car formation, the rhythm of the battle would fall into his own hands, and the only ones who could compete with him were the soldiers who guarded the grain, and as for the armed people, they were just lambs to be slaughtered.
Thinking of this, he was about to straighten up and encourage the soldiers on the horse's back, but the sound of breaking the air from the opposite side frightened him to press the body he had just lifted on the horse's back again. (To be continued.) )
