Two miles away, the sand thieves gathered again, and half of the five thousand sand thieves were now missing, and there were only two thousand who could slash and kill with knives.

But Luo Yi's subordinates are not easy, there are not many dead in battle, but there are many wounded, and they have been fighting for almost three hours, even if they can hold on, the war horse has withered. This time, Zhonglang sent Luo Yi to his relatives by order, and did not consider the problem of combat, so his subordinates were all one person and one horse, unlike when fighting, one person, two horses or even three horses.

If there is not enough war horses to change and the horsepower is insufficient, this battle will not be easy to fight. Horse warfare in the field is not as important as attacking and defending in city warfare, and the role of horses is greater than that of people. If he dismounts and fights on foot, even if his men are well-trained and well-equipped, infantry against cavalry, the pressure will only be greater.

Not only that, from the sand thieves surrounding and not retreating, and taking turns to harass, he guessed that the sand thieves must have reinforcements, and the number will not be too small.

From the moment the convoy was attacked, Luo Yi knew that there was trouble, and in his eyes, the sand thieves were just local chickens and dogs, not only was their combat power not worth mentioning, but even their vision was extremely poor. But these stupid thieves who only have interests in their eyes actually dare to attack the Da Chu official army, do you think this trouble will be small?

If no one instructs him, he doesn't believe that he killed Luo Yi, and some sand thieves dare to attack the official army. It was the first time he had walked this golden road, but many of the seniors in the Yulin Army had walked it. They told Luo Yi that the sand thieves were a threat to the caravan, and to the officers and soldiers, they were just a fart, as long as they brought a hundred light horses, they didn't have to care about the sand thieves at all.

What you really have to be careful about is the forty-eight countries on the plateau west of Dingjun City, which is the most threatening existence of the empire. Every once in a while, there are small countries that are too poor to survive, and they use the strength of the whole country to invade the border, not seeking to attack and kill, but only to rob wealth and population.

Don't look at the Dingxi General's Mansion Desert Legion has 150,000 soldiers, but the area that needs to be defended is also large, from the first line of the South China Sea to Jiuquan, 6,000 miles from east to west, 8,000 miles from north to south, such a vast area, only 150,000 soldiers, less than 5 million Chu people, it can be said that there are loopholes everywhere.

There are desert legions, there are Dingjun cities, and war forts, and it is impossible for tens of thousands of troops to cross the border, but a small group of cavalry can always find opportunities, and the cavalry of these plateau forty-eight countries is what he needs to pay attention to, after all, those cavalry are real soldiers, not bandits.

Who would have thought that Luo Yi's family sending convoy was actually blocked here by a group of sand thieves, if it weren't for the fact that there were nine princesses behind the team who needed to be guarded, the five thousand sand thieves in front of him would have been slaughtered by him.

No, we can't continue the stalemate, the sand thieves can afford to wait, and Luo Yi can't afford to wait. It is two thousand miles away from Dingjun City, and the welcoming team of the Dingxi General's Mansion is up to 500 miles. He wanted to wait for reinforcements, and five days later would be considered fast.

After the reinforcements of the sand pirates arrived, this battle could not be fought. With the convoy of the Nine Princesses, Luo Yi couldn't let go of his hands and feet at all.

"Recording things to join the army, can there be caravans before and after?" Luo Yi shouted loudly.

In his early fifties, the three-sheepbearded recorder joined the army and stepped forward: "General Huiyu, behind us, there should be a caravan, which departs a few days later than us, and the caravan's itinerary has been determined early, if a certain calculation is correct, this caravan should be a hundred miles away." ”

Among the convoy of sending relatives, there are not only the 1,000 Yulin light cavalry to which he belongs, but also the marriage envoy of the Ministry of Rites, the eunuch of the inner palace, and the relatives of the marriage clan. The princess gets married, there is a detailed process, eighty miles a day, slower than a caravan, not that you can't go fast, but according to the royal etiquette system, you can only go so much.

Barry......

Luo Yi frowned, the distance was too far. The fast horse is only two hours, but there are many caravans, no matter how to speed up, it will take half a day, I am afraid that it will not be in a hurry. If it is a warrior in the temporary recruitment team, it will not play a big role.

He knew that there were many good players in the caravan, but they were only civilian warriors, and their personal strength was strong, but they didn't know how to fight. In front of the two armies, personal bravery is not worth mentioning, even if he brings light horses, he can't look down on those people.

The strength of the Nine Rank Martial Arts is strong enough, as long as you send a team of crossbow archers to attack in three stages, continuously, even if you can't kill, it's still very easy to drive away.

In Chu Min's eyes, the Jiupin Martial Arts is already a top player, but if he is placed in the army, that's what happened. If the individual martial arts are really so strong, why do you still form an army, just pick a group of high-grade strong people to go to the battlefield.

For example, among the 1,000 light cavalry under his command, there was a group of all-martial soldiers, and they were very powerful, and this strength was obtained by daily training, not all by personal bravery.

With the 1,000 light cavalry trained by his Luo Yi, he could easily slaughter a thousand civilian three-rank warriors, and there would not even be many casualties, which was the difference between the military formation and the warriors.

"Order, send a group of men and horses, find a caravan, and recruit the warriors in the caravan. "Knowing that it's useless, Luo Yi can only do this, in the vast and sparsely populated southwest of the empire, it is already luck to meet a caravan, who else can he count on?

The distance was too far, and even if he hurried with all his might, it would take two days and two nights, and with the time to return, the reinforcements would be five days later at the earliest, and he could not afford to wait.

Before the order could be handed down, there was confusion among the sand thieves in the distance, and a group of five hundred sand thieves mounted their horses and left. Luo Yi's eyes lit up, the sand thieves who went away were in a charging formation, and it was obviously not the reinforcements of the sand thieves.

"Chen Fengbu, the Great Chu Army Formation, impact the formation, and disperse them. Luo Yi reacted very quickly, the sand thieves were not far away, he had already given the order.

The Great Chu military system is composed of five people, ten people, a hundred people, a team, five hundred, and a thousand people. One, that's five hundred.

Luo Yi's order was very timely, and Chen Fengbu scattered the sand thieves who had just accumulated with a single charge. The sand thieves did not dare to fight the light cavalry head-on, so they could only disperse.

It was just a moment's effort, the dust was flying in the distance, shouting to kill the heavens, and the five hundred sand thieves finally failed to stop Tian Shouye's hundred caravan guardian warriors.

However, the caravan guard is not easy, after all, it is only a civilian, and his personal martial arts are good, but he does not understand the military formation, but fortunately, their enemy is also a mass of scattered sand bandits, if it is a 500 Chu army, I am afraid that few people will survive.

It was just a surprise attack, and in less than half an hour before and after, Tian Shouye's guardian warrior was killed by a third of the battle, but fortunately, he finally broke through the interception of the sand thieves.

Rushing past the five hundred sand thieves, there was chaos in front of him, and the sand thieves of the brigade had been defeated by Chen Feng's department. Chen Feng rushed to the front of the team, and when he saw Tian Shouye's troops, he immediately understood, and with a wave of the silver halberd in his hand, the two teams of light horses separated left and right, protecting Tian Shouye and others in the formation.

The horn sounded from the team's main formation, and Chen Feng led the team, made a small circle, and led the team back to the formation. The sand thieves had no intention of confronting the military formation, and this time they rushed into battle, the losses of the sand thieves were very small, and Chen Fengbu did not lose anyone. However, the sand thieves who were sent to intercept the guards of the sand team before lost nearly 100 people.

Before Tian Shouye stepped forward, Luo Yi had already stepped forward: "But the caravan guards, are there only these people?"

Luo Yi is distressed, in normal times, where would he be able to see the guards of the caravan, and he would die. But at this moment, he still pointed to the caravan guards to help, how come there are only 100 people, and more than 30 people have died in battle, and the rest of these people are useless.

"The villain Changfeng is polite, but General Luo Yi, the general of Yulin Zhonglang?" Tian Shouye also knew that the matter was urgent, and he didn't have time to talk nonsense, so he only casually greeted him, after all, his identities were different.

General Zhonglang is already a general, and according to the Great Chu military system, he can command 3,000 military horses. This is still secondary, this Luo Yi is quite famous in Los Angeles, one of the three heroes of Yulin, and is a good general in the new generation of the army, both wise and brave.

The most important thing is that Luo Yi's father, Luo Hai, is the left general of the Yulin Army.

According to the military system of Great Chu, the commander of the corps is the general, who leads a legion alone, and there are eight legions in Dachu, and there are eight generals. In fact, there are four resigned generals in the court, who have the name of generals, but no longer have the right to lead the army.

Under the generals, there are the left and right generals, that is, the deputy of the corps commander, who can lead the army of 50,000. If the general has an accident, the left and right generals will be in charge of the army.

Under the left and right generals, there is General Hu Ben, who can lead 10,000 troops, and the first class is Luo Yi's Zhonglang general, who can lead 3,000 troops.

The following generals are the military marquis, the largest is the military marquis, the military marquis leads a thousand troops, and has two departments and ten teams.

Luo Yi is so famous, in addition to his own strength and young achievements, his father Luo Hai is also a very important reason as the second-in-command of the Yulin Army.

"It's General Ben, why did you only come here?" Luo Yi angrily reprimanded, as the general of the Yulin Army, he has this power, Tian Shouye is just a rich household, how can he be compared with General Dachu.

General Zhonglang is already a general, and he belongs to the nobles in Dachu, that is, what ordinary people call nobles, even if he doesn't mention his father Luo Hai, the general of Yulin Zuo, Luo Yi is also the lowest-level nobleman in Dachu.

"Back to General Luo, I met a noble person in the caravan, and the noble man calculated that the princess was in trouble with General Luo, and sent a villain to lead the way. ”

I have to say that Tian Shouye, as a successful businessman, is quite good at talking, and there is too much information in one sentence, if it is said to ordinary people, it may not be able to understand.

First of all, the 'chance encounter' and 'noble' in the caravan, these are two pieces of information, the chance encounter is naturally not the caravan's people, and the nobles cannot be used on ordinary people.

The next thing is the nobleman's 'calculation', which calculation takes a very second, who can calculate? I want to go, with Luo Yi's level vision, I naturally understand the meaning of the words.

Finally, I also reminded Luo Yi that the princess is in trouble with you, and she sent a villain to 'lead the way', and leading the way is naturally not to help the war, with the strength of the caravan guards, even if you want to help the war, the role it can play is extremely limited.

The guards are good at personal martial arts, and then use carts to form a formation and guard the caravan, even if they are two or three times as many sand thieves, they can hold it, but let them play military formations with sand thieves in the wild, forget it, even if you count your personal martial arts, it will not be much stronger than the sand thieves, and under the same number of people, the victory or defeat will be at most five or five.
