Chapter 480: The Grain Delivery Team in the Snow
The wind and snow are howling, and in the recent civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds, the snow has gradually become heavier again.
Although it can't be called heavy snow, it can't match the light snow.
This change in weather has undoubtedly increased the difficulty of grain transportation for the grain transportation team.
Including Luo Cheng and Liu Kai and other two hundred cavalry commanders.
The cavalry was covered with coats and hats to protect them from the wind and snow.
But you have to believe that they are not the only ones who suffer in the snow.
Compared with the grain transportation team that has been in a state of exercise for a long time, the horse thieves who are responsible for squatting are undoubtedly more uncomfortable.
A food convoy consisting of a thousand cavalry.
How big is it?
There is no way to hide movement at this level.
From a long distance, a group of horse thieves squatting there were already aware of it.
It's just that the wind and snow are too big, and the 'woo woo' blowing is non-stop, which really affects their hearing.
Lives are at stake.
How dare the horse thieves who are in charge of squatting carelessly?
I don't care about the cold snow on the ground.
After two or three times with both hands, he pushed away a large pile of snow, and directly put his ears on the ground.
The coldness of that moment was simply pouring into the heavenly spirit cover, almost causing his brain to go into shock.
After quickly identifying the movement coming from afar.
He immediately jumped up from the ground.
Then he rubbed his ears vigorously.
It's so cold that I almost feel like my ears are about to freeze off!
"Grain convoy! With this level of movement, I can't think of any other possibilities except for the grain transportation team of the Central Plains! ”
The horse thief, who confirmed the movement, hurriedly went back to report the situation.
Since it's going to squat.
Then the large army of horse thieves obviously can't be too far from this side.
Hearing the news, the one-eyed dragon cloth and the others all frowned.
It was really the right time for the Central Plains people to come with this grain transport team.
It is very risky for them to rob food in the wind and snow.
It is also difficult to show the riding and archery skills that you are proud of.
However, at this moment, they obviously have no way out.
Calculate the efficiency of grain transportation in the grain transportation team.
If you missed this one.
The next time will be at least eight or nine days later.
And the people of their tribes have been short of food for a long time.
Wait another eight or nine days?
How many people would have to starve to death?
Can't wait!
After a quick exchange of glances, the horse thief leaders saw each other's determination to grab food from each other's eyes.
The one-eyed dragon cloth and even more spoke in a deep voice......
"The plan remains the same, get on the horse, grab the grain!"
These grassland people are all good hands on horseback.
Even in the wind and snow, these movements are still neat.
After turning over and getting on their horses, the grain raiding troops, which totaled 1,736 horsemen, officially set off.
By the way, there were six hundred horsemen among them, who came from the Hanar tribe.
That is, Battle's men.
When I confirm the number.
Knowing this number, the one-eyed dragon cloth and his heart couldn't help but feel jealous.
Sure enough, your uncle will always be your uncle.
Even if the Earth Emperor is in trouble, he will not even be as good as their gang of horse thieves.
Just like Luo Cheng's grain transport team, it is difficult to hide their whereabouts because of the large number of cavalry.
The same is clearly true of this gang of horse thieves who rob grain.
The movement of more than 1,700 horses running wildly was only bigger than Luo Cheng and them.
Marching on the steppes all year round.
Regarding the movements formed by the galloping of a large number of war horses, Liu Kai is undoubtedly more sensitive than Luo Cheng.
"There's a lot of cavalry rushing towards us!"
Hearing this, Luo Cheng's heart suddenly 'chuckled'.
"Could it be General Bai Ze?"
"Impossible!"
Liu Kai shook his head very simply.
"After the two generals entered the winter, most of their energy was focused on protecting the three grassland cities from horse thieves, and they couldn't get out of it at all!"
"In other words, a horse thief?!"
Luo Cheng's eyelids jumped quickly.
Both of them are undoubtedly smart people, and they straightened out the whole thing at once.
As the enemy cavalry units approached, the roar of the horses' hooves became louder and louder.
After all, Luo Cheng is the captain of the cavalry team.
According to this movement, it is still possible to judge the approximate number of troops of the other side.
Then a wry smile appeared on his face......
"Listen to the movement, at least around fifteen hundred horses, what you were worried about before has happened, the horse thieves on this grassland have united!"
Liu Kai, who heard this, also showed a wry smile.
He had been worried that the horse thieves had been too honest in recent days, and would they be forced to join forces to rob the grain for their livelihood.
Now it turns out that he expected it, but this kind of thing is better than not expected.
Against such a large number of horse thieves, even though they were able to win with a slight advantage in equipment.
It will also pay a relatively heavy price.
"This side is not far from White Horse City, General Burigud should be patrolling White Horse City at this time!"
While speaking, Liu Kai hurriedly sent a cavalry to bypass this area and rushed to White Horse City for help.
If the reinforcements can arrive in time, then the casualties and losses of their food transport team should be manageable.
"Tell the story, everyone, get ready for battle!"
As he shouted, Luo Cheng quickly took down the crossbow hanging on the horse's back, and at the same time, a touch of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
"If you want to move the grain transportation team of our Ten Thousand Realms Civilization, then you must be mentally prepared to pay the price!"
"Tactical Preparation Number Two!"
The No. 2 tactic in Luo Cheng's mouth refers to the phased shooting tactics.
For the cavalrymen in battle, the crossbow had only one shot.
Naturally, this precious crossbow bolt could not be wasted in a salvo without meaning.
So, take into account different situations.
Luo Cheng had already arranged various tactics in advance.
When a cavalry team is charging at full speed over a long distance, the formation of an entire cavalry team will be uncontrollably dragged for a long time.
Because the speed of each horse and the weight and riding skills of the cavalry are different, it cannot be exactly the same.
And the charge like the kind of head-to-head rush in movies and TV series can only be said to be film and television effects.
A long-distance full-speed charge will inevitably lengthen the formation.
Skilled cavalry, though able to control it slightly, could not be completely avoided.
And in the face of the cavalry was stretched out of the charge formation.
The entire salvo of the hand crossbow was fired, and the vast majority of the crossbow arrows were wasted.
Phases, layer by layer, is the solution to maximize value.
I have to say that Luo Cheng, the commander of the hundred cavalry, knows very well how to deal with the cavalry team in the state of charge......
At the same time, this snowstorm also brought them certain advantages.
The riding and archery skills that the grassland people are best at can't be exerted at all in this wind and snow.
You can only rush up and fight with them in close combat.
On the contrary, it was the hand crossbow in their hands, because it was propelled by mechanical force, and the impact was relatively limited!
