Chapter 906: Hedong (4)
Since the state army has been squeezed out, it is natural to do what some people who have been excluded have to do. For example, sending military rations to the front line or something.
Hu Zhen's military order to Gao Yang was to send grain and grass to the front-line operations dozens of miles away once every three days. And he himself stayed in the camp with 2,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 auxiliary soldiers.
Gao Yang secretly wrote down these things in his heart. He has no way to change these now, so he can only accept it helplessly. But once Gao Yang recovers his powerful abilities in the future, then he will inevitably return them all! Revenge is not Gao Yang's character.
Niu Fu led nearly 10,000 soldiers and a larger number of auxiliary soldiers and civilians in the front line camp, and the daily consumption of grain and straw was definitely a huge astronomical amount. Not to mention that most of them were cavalry, and those war horses had a bigger appetite than people.
Gao Shun was left in the camp of the Bingzhou Army, responsible for continuing to boil and purify salt. At the same time, hundreds of sergeants were stationed in the state army's own barracks.
As for Zhang Liao, he was sent out by Gao Yang to sell the boiled salt, and Gao Yang needed to exchange these high-quality salt for food. Although it is okay to directly distribute salt as military salary, salt cannot replace food.
Zhang Liao took more than 100 cavalry to change their clothes and then left the Sili area to sell purified salt to those wealthy families.
These salts, which are exciting in both quality and quantity, were quickly sold out. High-quality salt is definitely in demand in this era.
There are also people who have thought about eating black and eating black. Just looking at the more than 100 knights who were strong, well-equipped, and full of irrepressible killing intent, this kind of thought was just a thought. After all, the amount of salt that Zhang Liao and the others brought at one time was not enough for the high-ranking families to be willing to take risks to attack a powerful force of unknown origin. Who knows if it will lead to even stronger retaliation?
For these wealthy families, although the salt sold by Zhang Liao is very expensive. But as long as you buy all this salt, and then sell it in the area of Luoyang City, it will be twice the profit in the blink of an eye! Who doesn't want the benefits of this kind of white picking?
The salt that Zhang Liao was carrying was quickly sold out. He just wants gold. No copper coins or grain. He only accepts precious metals. It doesn't matter if it's gold, silver or copper. In this era, copper is also a precious metal and is very valuable.
The army could not carry heavy food and copper coins, which would cause unnecessary trouble. With gold and silver returning to Luoyang City, where the wealth of the world gathers, how much grain can't be bought?
Zhang Liao soon became a hard-working porter. galloped all the way back and forth between the Bingzhou military camp and the division with a fast horse, gathering a lot of wealth for Gaoyang. In addition to bringing precious metals, Zhang Liao would also buy a large amount of meat to bring back to the barracks according to Gao Yang's orders.
Gao Yang is not short of money, and he doesn't even need it much. In addition to improving the living environment of the soldiers, the biggest use of these things is to expand his strength. and to win the hearts of the military. As long as he has the strength in his hands, then he can do what he wants to do.
Soon, the Bingzhou troops under Gao Yang found that their usual treatment quickly improved. Not to mention being able to eat a meal of meat every day, the high lord will often give out rewards!
Didn't the sergeants pin their heads to the waistbands of their trousers and go out to fight just to get a bite to eat and get some more goods? Gao Yang directly met their needs!
Gao Yang's prestige was quickly established, and he said that outsiders were not allowed to snoop, and then no one would discover the secrets in the barracks!
When the red-faced Zhang Liao accepted his rich reward, he took his subordinates to pack salt and leave the barracks again in the direction of Si Li. Gao Yang also began to reorganize his troops and horses, preparing to go to the logistics camp. Received military orders from Hu Zhen and escorted the grain transport team to the front camp of Niu Fu
Gao Yang, who was riding on a chestnut horse with a tall head, raised his head slightly to look at the endless sapphire sky. I sincerely applaud this pure world that has not been polluted by industry.
A ray of golden sunlight in the sky pierced through the thick rolling clouds, making the sky and the earth clear and bright in an instant.
The wave-like clouds become brilliant and colorful under the sunlight. Dazzling. Countless clouds tumble across the sky, creating a myriad of fascinating patterns.
Gao Yang slowly closed his eyes, feeling the rare warm sunshine in the cold weather. The restlessness in my heart also calmed down a little. Recently, there are more and more goods in hand, which has given Gaoyang a solid foundation for expanding its strength.
Whether he wants to save the suffering people of the whole world. Or to deal with the contractor to find a way home, it takes great strength. And goods are the most basic condition.
This rare good mood was shattered halfway through the grain convoy.
The convoy consisted of hundreds of carts full of grain and grass piled high. There were 3,000 auxiliary soldiers and civilians who drove the car. plus more than 700 elites and hundreds of rangers brought by Gao Yang. With such great strength, it stands to reason that there should not be fools who don't have long eyes to have the guts to play with tiger whiskers. It's just that there are no absolutes in the world. Gao Yang really met a fool who is not afraid of death today.
Yu Fuluo and the more than 4,000 Hun cavalry under his command originally planned to make a detour to the logistics camp, preparing to attack the logistics camp at night with the elite troops of the White Wave Thieves. It's just that on the road he walked, he encountered a large grain transportation team.
Yu Fuluo enjoyed the burning, killing and looting in the Han land at the moment. The Great Huns have been oppressed by the Han court for hundreds of years, and at this moment they finally have the opportunity to take revenge. Therefore, when Niu Fu led his troops to attack again, he did not choose to escape. Instead, he continued to fight against the Han court's army together with the White Wave Thieves.
It's just that Yu Fuluo is shrewd, he doesn't want to go to the elite Han army to die in vain, and he has been hiding behind the main battlefield to watch the situation.
Originally, I watched the white wave thief being suppressed strongly, and it was going to be terrible. Yu Fuluo, who was about to apply oil on the soles of his feet, was moved by Mrs. Guo and others.
As long as the night attack was successful, the Han army, which had lost its grain and grass, would inevitably be demoralized and the whole army would be scattered. After defeating this attack, it was absolutely impossible for the Han court to send troops to fight in a short period of time. There is even a high probability that it will come to soothe. At that time, you can really swallow all the fat in your mouth.
After figuring this out, Yu Fuluo quickly agreed to the invitation of Mrs. Guo and others, and personally brought his soldiers and horses to the adventure.
"If you fail, run away." This is what Yu Fuluo intended. The Huns all had several horses with them, and as long as they were bent on escaping, it would be difficult for the Han army to deal a great blow to them.
After seeing the huge convoy of grain that stretched endlessly, the unique predatory nature of the nomads in Yu Fuluo's bones could not bear it.
It's all fucking food! What could be more important in troubled times than food?!
Fuck it!
Yu Fuluo is very confident in his men. Not long ago, his subordinates defeated nearly 10,000 Han court soldiers and horses, but their own losses were not large. In this case, Yu Fuluo's self-confidence will naturally be extremely inflated.
What's more, Yu Fuluo has already carefully observed. Most of that convoy was made up of civilians and auxiliaries who had no armor. The sentinels on the periphery were a rabble with no formation.
As for the hundreds of troops in the convoy who were well-dressed in battle armor and looked like elites. Yu Fuluo didn't take it to heart at all. If these are really elite divisions, they must be used as trump cards in the hands of the main generals on the front line at this moment, where will they be reduced to escorting grain and grass?!
"I heard that there are some well-equipped and mighty armies in the Han court. They've never been on the battlefield, and they're all good-looking. It looks like these are the people. It's all just a herd of cattle and sheep. Yu Fuluo waved the whip in his hand and said with a smile pointing to the huge convoy at the bottom of the mountain.
What if those are really elite divisions? There are more than 4,000 string controllers under his command! Squeeze them to death!
"Rush over! Kill them all! Grab all the food! Yu Fuluo's horsewhip waved forward violently and shouted!
The rabble that Yu Fuluo regarded as having no formation were the rangers who took the initiative to follow Gao Yang's expedition. These rabbles in the eyes of Fuluo had already noticed the actions of the Huns.
There is no way, after all, it is a large team of thousands of people, and if you want to hide under the eyes of these roosters and dog thieves, you are really bullying no one in the Central Plains.
Gao Yang was also very surprised, how did this group of Hun cavalry appear here bypassing the front line of the fierce battle? Is there anything else that can't be done here?
Gao Yang really didn't guess wrong this time. There is really a trail near this Niutou Mountain, and there are two trails, one on the left and one on the right!
The Huns went one way, and the elites of the White Wave Thieves went another. Their destination was the logistics battalion.
At this time, it was already early afternoon, and by the time the elites of these Huns and White Wave Thieves arrived at the logistics camp, it happened to be evening. At that time, it was the best time to burn grain at night.
"Array." Gao Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, and with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he looked at the Huns who were surging all over the mountains.
The terrain here is not suitable for large-scale cavalry operations at all. It is flanked on either side by hills and in the middle by a wide avenue. If the Huns did not dismount, they could only rush from the avenue.
Rushing in front of the trapped camp known as the first-rate strong army in the Three Kingdoms period? Those Hun cavalry, who were originally just a group of herdsmen, were a fart!
'Boom Boom~~~' With the sound of a battle armor swinging, the trapped camp sergeants who were riding on the war horses all quickly dismounted, quickly stepped forward to form a tight battle formation in front of the convoy.
Elite trapped camp against the Hun cavalry! (To be continued......)
