Chapter 329: Peeling Back the Cocoon (Part II)
"The third force: cavalry. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Five hundred cavalry, from beginning to end, did not attack us, but they have no way to ignore the containment and disruption of our army. Especially in the early stage of the outbreak of the war, the existence of cavalry brought us great threat and trouble, although we did not really take action, the containment effect was very significant. ”
"Without that cavalry roaming around, our army could have given more support to several warring dependent territories, and the movement of troops could have been much more rapid. Fortunately, the lord judged in time that they were from a certain territory and did not dare to go into battle shirtless, and quickly adjusted accordingly, putting more recruits, reinforcements, and mercenaries into battle, making the cavalry patrol useless and inactive. ”
"If we don't, we're likely to lose more fighters, or even one or two dependent territories."
"The most unexpected thing is that the lord put almost all his strength outside, and Zhulu City is equivalent to an empty city, which makes the other party's judgment seriously deviate, and in the end, we eat part of the cavalry."
"I just got it right."
Yu Buzhi smiled bitterly and explained: "The troops are overstretched, not to mention that the five hundred cavalry are too underestimated, it is okay to play the same trick once or twice, but if there are too many times, it will inevitably be a goof." After being harassed by the cavalry for so long, I wanted to collect some interest and come back. It's a pity that the other party is very vigilant, and before Luo Hu and them set up an ambush circle, they planned to slip away, and we got limited, and we didn't even catch a single live mouth. ”
Xu Shu nodded and said, "Although I didn't catch a prisoner, it's not bad to get dozens of war horses." ”
"Five hundred cavalry didn't dare to fight back, and the white light emitted when a person was killed by an arrow at the top of the slope later, it is an indisputable fact that the cavalry came from a certain territory."
"Although there is no living evidence, these clues are enough for us to deduce their approximate attribution."
"Even in the place of origin, the value of 500 high-grade war horses is close to two million, and the price is higher in the non-origin area; The war horse trade is full of dangers and obstacles, and money may not be able to buy it; So far, there is only one territory that can produce 500 cavalry, and I believe that the lord has already counted it in his heart......"
Yu Buzhi's eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "Wooden horn collar." ”
As Xu Shu said, Yu Buzhi had already guessed who it was.
War horses are expensive and difficult to obtain.
At this stage, the territory with 100 horsemen is already rare, and it can be counted with two hands, and these territories are all concentrated in the three states of Liang, and You, which have the advantage of origin. There are only three territories with 200 horsemen, and the territory that can take out 500 horsemen is only the wooden horn collar, and there is no second one.
Wooden Horn Collar, one of the six city-level territories, and second in the overall list of the Yellow Turban Campaign.
The Wooden Horn Collar was an emerging territory that stood out in battles by relying on cavalry.
When Mujiaoling was still a first-class township, he surprisingly pulled out a team of 200 cavalry, coming and going on the battlefield like the wind, and reaping feats in a big way. With the increase in the size of the territory, the scale of the cavalry of the Mujiao Army continues to expand, but the lord can always quickly replenish the combat power of the troops, and there is obviously a stable source of high-grade war horses.
The recognized tyrant lord in the game is Su Li, but the mistice is actually not bad.
Even if there is a stable source of war horses, without sufficient funds, the formation of cavalry units can only be empty talk. It's just that the abundant territory is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the impression of the wooden horn collar relying on the cavalry is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Xu Shu asked: "The lord has a grudge against the parasitic tree?" ”
"I don't know anything about my life, and I have nothing to do with it, where do you get resentment!"
Xu Shu was silent, just like Huang Yi, the leader of the Zhuti rebels, and another inexplicable enemy appeared.
Yu Buzhi sneered: "There are no prisoners, no participation in the war, we have no reason to deal directly with the wooden horn collar." The existing system of declaring war is limited to Tongzhou County, and Mujiao is in Liangzhou, so we can't even declare war on them...... Well, the parasitic is very thoughtful, and knows that even if it fails, I can't do anything about him in a short time. ”
Xu Shu also said: "Sending warriors to kill the captured soldiers of their own side is to put an end to future troubles." ”
Yu Buzhi frowned slightly, his fingers tapped lightly on the table unhurriedly, the corners of his mouth floated a little mockery, and he said slowly: "The abacus is good, but he did something wrong, and he shouldn't have tortured the ink killer." Xu Piaomiao came to me, I told him truthfully about the inference of the origin of the cavalry, what is inconvenient for us to do for the time being, someone will do it, the ink man regards death as home, the revenge of the Mo family, the wooden horn collar can enjoy it......"
Xu Shu was born as a ranger and has a certain understanding of the Mo family.
Of the three factions of the Mo family, only the chivalrous faction has always been strong.
Although the Mo family has been in decline for hundreds of years, anyone who underestimates the Mo family will definitely pay a heavy price. The ink people live in the deer collar, although they obey the territory, but they have no affiliation, and the ink man retaliates against the wooden horn collar, which has nothing to do with the deer collar.
Mu Jiaoling's strength is not bad, and Yu Buzhi does not expect the Mo family to subvert the other party, but it is not difficult to make trouble.
In the second system update, the war application will completely relax the geographical restrictions, and there will be a time to calculate the general ledger.
Xu Shu said in a deep voice: "The five hundred cavalry once again confirmed our previous guess. ”
In order to wait for the Zhuti rebels, Wulingkou lurked for 7 days, and his subordinates did not think that the cavalry had arrived temporarily. Cavalry is no better than thieves, just find a place to hide, hundreds of horses are difficult to hide, and the difficulty of supply is higher than that of thieves. In Ba County, someone will answer! ”
"There are two that have made a move, and there are three who have appeared directly, and at least one is hiding in the shadows."
At the end, Xu Shu concluded: "There are really a lot of people who want to be unfavorable to the deer leader. ”
Yu Buzhi couldn't help but shake his head at this.
Somehow caught in a series of troubles, he was helpless.
In addition to the three direct appearance forces, and the inferred fourth strategy force, there are more unsolved doubts.
Is the state involved?
The state government issued a conscription order for the deer leader before the war, and it is difficult to judge whether he participated or not. It seems more like a coincidence, but it can't be ruled out that Yin Jian knew about it and weakened the strength of the Zhulu Leader, if that is the case, the opponent can actually exert influence on the Thorn History, and the energy is obviously very large, which is definitely not a good thing for the Zhulu Leader. Since Yin Jian had already been killed by the Ma Xiang rebels, it is difficult to confirm this matter.
Who is the mastermind behind this war?
Of the four hostile forces, Wuling Kou is just a "knife", and the other three seem to be possible.
How did these forces come together?
The three forces that have been exposed are the rebels, the rogues, and the player's territory, and they are in different areas, the rebels are from the south of Yizhou, the rogue is from Jingzhou, and the Mujiao is from the territory of Liangzhou. Regardless of their respective identities or the regions they belong to, they are not related, let alone integrate and carry out military operations at the same time, even if they get together to drink and chat, it seems that it is not easy to do.
Xu Shu's analysis made Yu Buzhi realize what kind of severe challenges the territory was facing.
The challenge has just begun.
