Chapter 156: A Thousand Horses

"My lord! The horse dealer has arrived! A slightly excited voice came from Wang Yun's ears.

"Really? How many people? Where is it? Wait for me to pass. Wang Yun's voice also looked a little excited, this is another more than a week of waiting, if the other protagonist of this operation does not appear, then Wang Yun will have to worry about his supplies.

He Yi on the other end of the transmission was slightly hesitant and said, "Lord, you better hurry up and take a look, the number of enemies this time is beyond our imagination." ”

Wang Yun frowned slightly, although he had already guessed that the opponent this time might be stronger than expected, but when he really got the news, he was still a little depressed.

Dozens of miles away, Wang Yun didn't take long to arrive, and seeing the tide of war horses galloping from a distance, Wang Yun's face became a little pale.

Wang Yun thought that there must be more war horses coming from the grassland than he thought of four or five hundred, but he definitely didn't expect that there would be so many! That's probably no less than a thousand! With so many war horses, Wang Yun didn't know how these horse dealers were transported from the border to the hinterland of Jizhou, a big man!

Although the status of the Eastern Han Dynasty is not as high as that of the Western Han Dynasty war horse, the value of the war horse is higher in the Eastern Han Dynasty! Because there were many fewer horse farms in the interior of the Eastern Han Dynasty than in the Western Han Dynasty.

It's the same in "Second World", each basic war horse is hundreds of gold, and the value of such thousands of war horses is 100,000 gold or even higher! With such a large amount of goods, even if there were no strict requirements from the border side, it was difficult for Wang Yun to imagine how they could pass through Dahan, an area full of bandits and bandits.

Either their concealment methods are extremely superb, uh, this possibility Wang Yun has already discarded when he saw the momentum of these thousands of horses galloping. And in addition to hiding over, then another possibility is to fight over! In other words, they crushed the bandits along the way to get here!

As for whether it was possible that they had bribed the bandits on the road to come, Wang Yun didn't consider it at all. As the leader of the bandits, he naturally knows the greed of the bandits. With such a large sum of money, their demands are definitely not a little, and their demands are definitely not tolerated by the horse dealers.

Beside Wang Yun were the two brothers, He Yi and He Man, and Hu Dazheng was monitoring them outside the Yellow Turban Army camp.

He Yi's face was not very good-looking, and he asked Wang Yun, "Lord, do we still have to act according to the original plan?" Thousands of cavalry are not for fun, if they find us, if we want to escape, I am afraid it will not be easy! ”

Wang Yun has calmed down, although the number of war horses is a bit beyond imagination, but it is not impossible to win, as long as he can provoke a war between the horse dealers and the Yellow Turban Army, when the time comes, no matter which side can win, Wang Yun is sure to take them!

Wang Yun said: "Of course, according to the original plan, we have been delayed here for nearly twenty days, if we get nothing in the end, can you be willing?" Besides, this time I saw the 'Yellow Turban Army', so alas, in short, we must have something to gain this time. ”

"But, my lord, with so many people, can our plan work? They don't care much about this, do they? He Man was obviously a little uneasy about Wang Yun's plan, and asked Wang Yundao.

Wang Yun didn't answer, and said to He Man: "What? He Man, are you afraid? ”

"How could I be afraid?" He Man's face turned red when he was asked by Wang Yun, to be honest, seeing the momentum of thousands of war horses charging, he really doubted whether he could win psychologically. Of course, this can't be said to Wang Yun, or even said. He continued: "It's just that there are only so many cavalry, if the lord's strategy can't succeed, will we have to retreat?" ”

Wang Yun smiled, He Yi also smiled, how could they not understand He Man's thoughts, the impact of these thousands of cavalry made Wang Yun look sideways! This made his desire for these war horses increase again!

Wang Yun said: "If my plan can't succeed, then we naturally have to retreat, otherwise what are we going to do here, drink the northwest wind!" If we really fight, although we are not afraid of both sides, but there is no possibility of winning, in this case, if we don't run away, it will be a fool. I don't think we're stupid. However, I do feel that the success rate of our plan is good, so I should try it anyway. ”

"My lord, do you want to start now?" He Man also knew that the two were laughing at him, and in order to hide his weakness, he immediately opened his mouth and asked Wang Yun.

"Of course, start now!"

Although these horse dealers are called horse dealers, they are actually warriors of the tribes of the steppe. They were born and raised on horseback, they are masters of raising and taming horses, and of course, they are knights on the grassland!

In fact, there were not as many of them as Wang Yun imagined. They came by selling horses, and naturally there were more horses than people. So, they really had just over 700 people, and there were 1,200 horses.

Of course, a small number of people does not mean that their combat effectiveness is low, although the number of cavalry is only seven hundred, but because the impact of the collective impact of the horses is not weak, so large-scale battles, their combat power is indeed comparable to the combat power of a thousand cavalry.

On the march on horseback, these steppe people are all experts, especially when they know that it is now the rampant period of mountain bandits and bandits in the Dahan area, and this time because of the big customers, the number of horses is far more than in the previous two years, so the horse dealers are extremely careful in their march. Not only did they march at half the speed of normal cavalry, but they also sent up to fifty scouts to scout the way around the large army!

Wang Yun looked at the two cavalrymen hundreds of meters in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he clamped the belly of the horse with 'Painting Mei'. 'Painted Plum' seemed to understand the current situation, and it didn't make a sound, and silently rushed towards them from behind the two probes!

"Huh? Who? Is there anything going on with the chief? The two also heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from behind them, and one of them looked behind him with a slight curiosity, turning his head and asking.

However, what he saw was a silvery-white light! The white light of the spear in Wang Yun's hand flashed, and the tip of the spear had already pierced the necks of the two of them!

The knight on his body landed on his body, and the two war horses seemed to be a little confused for a while, and after reacting, the two war horses raised their heads to the sky and neighed, and their voices were slightly desolate. They seem to be grieving the death of their master, and they seem to be informing their companions behind them! Unfortunately, their voices did not travel far enough, and the large army that was more than ten miles away from them could not hear their screams at all.

Wang Yun sat down and 'painted Mei' couldn't get used to the attitude of these two war horses, and snorted at the two of them, and suddenly the two war horses, which were still full of wildness, immediately became as well-behaved as the angry little girl. There is no need for Wang Yun, they automatically follow behind Wang Yun.

Not long after, Wang Yun saw another war horse in front of him, but this time there was no knight on it. It was surrounded by four or five soldiers dressed in yellow.

Wang Yun didn't have any doubts, rode over on horseback, and said, "Let one go this time?" "It turned out that these soldiers wearing yellow clothes and looking like the Yellow Turban Army were all cavalry under Wang Yun.

"Owner, this time it was our mistake, and it really let one run away." One of the soldiers said to Wang Yun.

Wang Yun smiled indifferently and said, "It's okay, the reason why I asked you to get this yellow dress first is to prevent this situation." Run, run, it's nothing. Now, take the two horses behind me, you can bring them back first. ”

"Yes, my lord."

Wang Yun's actions were smooth on his side, and it could be said that he had a good time, but in the horse team on the other side, it was a different scene.

"Chief! Chieftain! Oh no! A short, obscene-looking man rode from behind to catch up with a general in the center of the team, and said in an anxious voice.

"What's wrong?" The man who spoke was the leader of the horse dealers, he was not tall and not stout, but he looked more like a Han than a steppe Hu.

It is said that he was the child of a tribe leader on the grassland and a Han woman, although he was strong, but because of his appearance, he was not valued by his father.

Even this operation was applied for by himself, in fact, this kind of task is not very pleasing on the grassland, after all, it is to take his treasure to the big man to exchange things, and it can be said that he is a traitor, and naturally he is not liked by the rough grassland Hu people.

However, this kind of thing must be done, because in winter, the weather on the grassland is too bad, and there are not many tribes on the grassland that can survive the white snow without the materials purchased in the Han Dynasty.

The reason why the leader of the Hu people asked to complete this transaction was because the number of transactions was larger, and the strength of the leader was needed, and he would not lose face if he said it, and secondly, because his status in the grassland was really not high, and he wanted to see if he could do something within the Han Dynasty.

Along the way, he has discovered that although the Han court is still strong, it has already complained about the people's livelihood, and the people are very dissatisfied. Along the way, there were endless bandits and bandits, which gave him a little idea.

He was still thinking about the situation in the landing big man, but he was interrupted by his subordinates, and he suddenly said angrily: "What's wrong?" ”

"Chief, our pony has been attacked!" The lewd dwarf said to the chief.

"What?! Aren't we still more than 40 miles away from 'Hushuiping'? How can anyone still dare to attack us here? How many people were attacked? "The leader is furious! It's not that he doesn't know forbearance, but when he arrives here, he is still attacked, which makes him full of opinions about the guys there in 'Hushuiping'.

"This, chief, known, known, has already killed four of the enemy." The lewd man's eyes flickered, but he still said truthfully.

(PS: It's really a bit stuck today, it's so late, Xiaosheng is sorry everyone!) I hope you will forgive me! )
