Chapter Eighty-Four: All the Way North
"It's not good that the grain depot outside the city was attacked by the rebels, and a hundred stones of grain and grass in the grain depot were looted." A small soldier hurried into the city's corridor.
"What?" Fan Chou was shocked, the food shortage in the Xiliang land is due to the price of the city, and a hundred stones of grain and grass seem to be not much, but in fact, it can be used to supply the food of 10,000 residents in Xiaochi County, and this time it is robbed, which will inevitably cause the price of grain in Xiaochi County to fluctuate, and people are panicked.
As one of Dong Zhuo's most important bases in Xiliang, if it is not developed well, it will inevitably affect the future, which is enough for Fan Chou to have a headache for a while.
"Where is the head of the North City Gate now, I will kill him." Fan Chou was shocked, and then he was annoyed, and the conclusion he had just made was overturned by this little soldier's report, it was simply a slap in the face of Chi Guoguo, and more importantly, Dong Zhuo's second son-in-law Li Ru was still here, in case it left him with an impression of courage and resourcelessness, it would be bad, so he quickly shifted his attention and pushed the sin down on the head of the North City Gate.
"Report to the county commander, the head of the North City Gate first went to pursue the first group of rebels who attacked the grain depot, but the first group of rebels walked around the grain depot and fled, and then the North City Gate Tun Chang received the news that the city gate was invaded by Di Ergang, and hurriedly returned to defense, but he heard the news that the grain depot was attacked by the first group halfway, and found that the first group of rebels was not far away, so he continued to pursue, but on the way to the pursuit, he heard the news that the grain depot was attacked by the second group of rebels......"
After the soldier who reported it in one breath, he wiped his sweat and said: "The little one only knows this, and now the head of the North City Gate is dealing with two groups of horse thieves, and let the little one come and ask the county commander to send troops to support." ”
"This waste was played with and applauded by two groups of rebels." Fan Chou was furious, his muscles were furious, and he was about to order someone to be sent to support the head of the North City Gate to pursue Qin Xiaobai, but Li Ru stopped him.
"The Black Wind Bandit is north of Koike County, so the weapons and horses of Koike County are Duotun and the North City Gate, and the North City Gate is empty.
There weren't many horses in the city, and if you wanted to pursue them again, you had to send troops and horses within the three sticks of incense, and at most a hundred horses. ”
"Qin Xiaobai dares to do this, there must be a follow-up move, he has an accurate map of Xiaochi County in his hand, there are several places to set up ambushes on the way to Heifeng Mountain, there are no available generals in the city, and if he sends troops and horses, he can only increase casualties."
It's not that the soldiers and horses of Xiliang are all cavalry, and the soldiers and horses led by people like Qin Xiaobai are all cavalry, less and only less, because even the horses are expensive to death, a hundred horses are 100,000 yuan, and a thousand horses are millions of dollars.
Qin Xiaobai was able to upgrade all the town soldiers to cavalry, firstly because he had few soldiers, and secondly because he monopolized the market economy of the novice town, with the support of 25,000 players, so that other NPC towns could have some cavalry.
Li Ru had an indifferent temperament, and after stopping Fan Chou, he slowly finished his words unhurriedly.
He knew that Fan Chou was just trying to save face, he just wanted to defeat Qin Xiaobai's army and take back the looted materials, and Qin Xiaobai's death would not only hinder the overall situation, but also waste Niu Fu's efforts, Fan Chou should know the proportions.
And if Fan Chou attacked in person, he couldn't kill Qin Xiaobai, who was only level 20, and it would be even more face-saving, and he wouldn't do it.
Li Ru knows how to control people's hearts, he knows that if he doesn't let Fan Chou's breath out and stop him strongly, it will not only make him hate Qin Xiaobai and hinder future cooperation, but also make him and Fan Chou have a gap.
So he said: "But it's not impossible, the player has four villages in the north of the city, just send a county-wide announcement to inform them that Qin Xiaobai is going north, and the players will definitely make peace for Fan County." ”
"Second Aunt's plan is so admirable, thousands of players in the four villages are enough to kill Qin Xiaobai to a big defeat, rub off his sharpness and arrogance, and let him obediently do a good job of a meticulous duty in the future." Fan Chou saw a plan, just to be angry, and to take care of the overall situation, he was very happy, and hurriedly slapped Li Ru on the back and ordered people to issue a county-wide announcement.
Li Ru smiled slightly, but he didn't think that Qin Xiaobai would be defeated by the player, the terrain of Xiaochi County was all his use, as long as he abandoned the baggage, he could easily break through the player's blockade by using the cavalry's maneuvering speed.
It's just that Li Ru did this, but there was no meaning to test Qin Xiaobai, if Qin Xiaobai really did this to get rid of the player, then he could only be regarded as a usable person, but that's all, he couldn't take on a big responsibility.
Speaking of which, he didn't care too much about the person he liked in Niu Fu, but now Qin Xiaobai dared to come and attack Xiaochi County in such a crisis-ridden situation, and this courage was enough to make him pay attention to Qin Xiaobai, so he was a little looking forward to how Qin Xiaobai would break through the player blockade.
On the grassland north of the county seat of Koike.
Qin Xiaobai has already joined the three young girls of the Qin family, he started the Fubo riding technique, led the cavalry to gallop rapidly, and took advantage of the geographical advantage to get rid of the pursuit of the commander of the North City Gate, and joined the cavalry of the fifty towns led by the three members of the Qin family.
But they always carried a hundred stones of grain and grass, and a hundred pieces of heavy weapons and equipment, and the speed was not as good as the cavalry of the commander of the North City Gate, so Qin Xiaobai led everyone to ambush in a slope area, preparing to ambush the commander of the North City Gate, but after waiting for a long time, there was no one to see.
When he was not clear, suddenly a county-wide announcement came from the system, Qin Xiaobai was shocked, he didn't expect Xiaochi County to come to this trick and use its players, so he immediately rolled out the map and checked it, and a few minutes later, there was a countermeasure, let everyone get on the horse, and continue to go north in a straight line with him.
Knowing that there were tigers in the mountains and biased towards the tiger mountains, Qin Xiaobai's strategy of continuing to go north in a straight line was very unexpected, but the three members of the Qin family were not surprised at all this time, and directly obeyed Qin Xiaobai's military orders and mounted their horses to follow.
They didn't know Qin Xiaobai yet, even if it was because Qin Xiaobai could eat enough without starving to death, and Qin Xiaobai gave them a name to treat them like brothers and sisters, they were only grateful in their hearts, and they didn't trust Qin Xiaobai's military strength.
However, after Qin Xiaobai made a long-distance attack on Gaoyang Village, he unexpectedly successfully attacked the north gate of Xiaochi County, and they also obeyed Qin Xiaobai's tactical arrangement, and successfully attacked the grain depot, carrying one stone on one horse, and looting fifty stones of grain and grass.
Later, after Qin Xiaobai ransacked the North City Gate, he attacked the grain depot again, looted the remaining fifty stone grain and grass, and got rid of the North City Gate Tun Chang and joined them.
After Qin Xiaobai's series of miraculous tactics, they were all conquered by Qin Xiaobai's military ability, and even worshipped it, and the military orders issued by Qin Xiaobai, even if they were incredible, would not doubt their viability at all, and they would all carry out the military orders according to the command.
Of course, the three of them didn't know that the sheepskin map in Qin Xiaobai's hand was an accurate map of Xiaochi County, and they didn't know that there were some deliberate acts of releasing water in Xiaochi County......
Qin Xiaobai led the town cavalry to gallop in a straight line to the north, and the map showed that there were three roads, the plains in the east, the mountains in the north, and the rivers in the west.
The rivers in the west are not wide, but they are numerous and criss-crossed, and the mud and sand are indispensable, and the general cavalry just slows down, but Qin Xiaobai, the 'heavy' cavalry that carries many baggage, once it falls into the mud and sand, it is difficult to get out.
The eastern plain, the terrain is open and conducive to the cavalry marching, but after hearing the news that Qin Xiaobai broke through Gaoyang Village, they should have all assembled, and even set off beyond the east.
The rest is the mountain road, in fact, if you walk the mountain road, it is not feasible, because the mountain road is too steep, the horses are burdened, and it is difficult to walk an inch on the mountain road, and if you take the mountain road, you will immediately lose the advantage of the cavalry, and even the horse's baggage will become a burden.
And that mountain road is extremely long and narrow, very suitable for ambush, once it is blocked here, it is almost certain death, no one believes that Qin Xiaobai will take this road, but he will do the opposite.
No one believes that he will go, no one will block where, the mountain road is difficult to walk, but to the north branch to the Black Wind Mountain, the distance is more than doubled, in fact, whether it is from the west to slowly walk the mud and sand road, or from the east to break through the players around, it only takes more than two hours to reach the Black Wind Mountain.
Of course, this is still able to walk through the mud and sand, and on the premise of being able to break through the player, if you go north on the mountain road, it only takes an hour to cross the mountain road, and the mountain road is a vast plain, and you can reach the Black Wind Mountain in half an hour.
Therefore, whether it is time or reality, going north is the best choice.
