Huangfu Song pondered for a moment, and said to Dong Zhuo, Bao Hong and other generals: "Order, open all the arsenals of the three auxiliaries, and take out all the leather armor, iron armor, and horse armor." Officers and non-commissioned officers must each wear one layer of leather armor inside and two layers of iron armor outside. He also ordered the craftsmen to improve the iron armor so that the iron armor could cover the upper arms, back, and thighs, and the lower legs and lower arms were covered with cut leather armor. From generals to pawns, helmets must be worn. Those who do not have helmets must also have their heads covered with armor. ”

Bao Hong, the right Fufeng, is the only Sanfu official here, and he knows Sanfu's arsenal best. Bao Hong said uneasily: "But the chariots and the armor stored in the arsenal are all reserve materials for our army. If they are all used up, the armor of our soldiers will not be able to be replaced in the future. Armor is very difficult to make, and even to make leather armor, it is necessary to take the skin of the ox after slaughtering, put it in water, and then tann it, after several months, it is completed. It's not easy for Sanfu to have so much armor, please think twice about riding a car! ”

Huangfu Song said coldly: "The armorer is also used to protect people." If you are not willing to give up the armor, the soldiers of our army will suffer heavy casualties under the sabers and guns of Xiliang, so how many people will be able to wear armor in the future? If there is no one to wear it, what is the use of armor? ”

Bao Hong sighed, and knew that Huangfu Song was right, and no longer objected.

Huangfu Song said again: "The family has a large number of soldiers, and there are generally blacksmiths in the dock fort of the family. The family must have a large number of weapons. Then he passed down an order, recruited the Sanfu family, and led the clan soldiers to come to the old man's account to listen to it. In addition, all steel swords of fifty tempers and above must be presented to the officers and soldiers. ”

Sect soldiers, family soldiers.

After hearing this, Yuan Peng, who was from the same family as Huangfu Song, said worriedly: "Riding a car, a family of three assistants, the tree has deep roots. If you ask for it like this, coupled with the tens of thousands of cultivated cattle that our army has levied from the family before, it will definitely anger the Sanfu family and make us enemies. If the Sanfu family colludes with Jinmachao and plots against our army in the rear of Sanfu; Even sent the sect soldiers to attack our army, and Sanfu was no longer owned by the imperial court. ”

Bao Hong also said worriedly: "Yes, even if the Sanfu family does not collude with Jin Ma Chao, it will definitely be used as a spokesperson in the court, and it will be difficult for us in the court, and I am afraid that the official will not be protected." ”

Dong Zhuo jumped out and said, "If you don't obey the orders of the chariot riders, then may I ask the two generals, do you have any other ways to replenish our army's strength in a short period of time and restore the strength of our army?" ”

Bao Hong and Yuan Peng listened and were speechless. They also knew that now the official army had just lost 25,000 cavalry, and only 75,000 cavalry remained. For the Xiliang army, which suffered minor casualties, these 75,000 cavalry were not a great threat. If we do not hurry up and find a way to expand the troops, so that the strength of the official army is far greater than that of the Western Liang Army, then the Western Liang Army, which is already stronger than the official army, will easily defeat the official army.

Dong Zhuo sneered again: "Only by adopting the strategy of riding can we replenish the strength of our army in a short period of time." Besides, because of the huge strength of the family, the soldiers they raised were not only considerable, but also well-equipped, well-trained, and had sufficient food and grass. Such a good source of soldiers, not at this time, but when? Is it going to be left to the Ma father and son, who are the best at buying people's hearts and minds, and have surrendered the Liangjiazi of the Six Counties and the Xiliang rebels? ”

Li Ru also smiled: "Besides, like all the families in the world, the Sanfu family also hates the father and son of Ma Teng Ma Chao who destroyed the Liangzhou family and implemented the Juntian system. Once our army is wiped out by the Western Liang Army, and Sanfu is occupied by the Ma family and his son, then the Sanfu family will usher in the fate of the Liangzhou family. Therefore, it is impossible for the Sanfu family to collude with the Ma father and son, and they will definitely understand the recruitment of the general of the left chariot and be willing to help. ”

Bao Hong and Yuan Peng had nothing to say.

Huangfu Song was very satisfied with Dong Zhuo's help, and he said to Yuan Peng: "General Yuan, you were born in the Runan Yuan family of the fourth generation and the third duke, and the protégés of the Yuan family are all over the world, and you must have a friendship with the Sanfu family, and you can speak." You are responsible for recruiting the Sanfu family. ”

Yuan said: "Obey." But I wonder how many soldiers are needed for the ride? ”

Huangfu Song sighed and said: "This battle is enough to prove the strength of the Xiliang Army, and it can also prove the fierceness of the Xiliang Army, which is dominated by Jinma Chao. You can tell the Sanfu family that if you want to keep Sanfu safe, they must understand the principle of 'giving'. As many soldiers as there are, they will send them to the old man. ”

"Yui."

……………………………………………

At the same time, Ma Chao, who had just gathered the soldiers back to the camp, just turned over and dismounted, took off his heavy helmet and gave it to a pro-soldier to hold, when he saw Ma Teng walking over quickly, and patted Ma Chao's shoulder happily: "My son is brave!" As a father, he also thought that the official army had fought against the Yellow Turban Army, the Black Mountain Army and the Xiliang people over the years, and it should be regarded as a long-standing battle, and those who could stay should be elite soldiers. I didn't expect that the official army was defeated so quickly under the offensive of my Xiliang people! ”

"Hahaha!"

Ma Chao, Jia Xu, Yang Fu, Yan Xing, Pang De, Ma Dai and others were all proud when they heard Ma Teng's words, and they couldn't help laughing.

Ma Chao said with a smile: "This is thanks to Huangfu Song, otherwise it would be difficult for our army to have such a great victory." ”

Yang Fu said excitedly: "In this great victory, the comparison between the casualties of our army and the officers and soldiers must be very different, right?" ”

Ma Chao said: "I have ordered Zhang Xiu to collect the remains of our army's soldiers, and Jia Xianjiu has also placed one or two eyes and ears in the official army, presumably we will soon be able to know the comparison of casualties between the two armies in this battle." ”

As he was talking, Zhang Xiu rode from under the gate of the village and said: "Report to the lord and brother, our army has lost a total of 1,837 horsemen in this battle, of which the highest military rank is two military marquis. ”

Ma Teng said: "Such a fierce battle, almost a decisive battle, but the loss of 1,800 horsemen, is not a worry." Although my Liangzhou household registration is scarce at the moment, the military resources are still very sufficient. If Chao'er is distressed, he will recruit another 2,000 people for his father. ”

Ma Chao shook his head and said, "I'm used to seeing battlefield killings, so I naturally know that people must die in war, and I won't feel distressed." This battle was fought by the official army, and the casualties could still be so slight, not only did they feel distressed, but they felt lucky. ”

At this moment, suddenly a white dove with two big wings flew towards everyone.

Everyone was amazed, but they saw that the white dove had landed comfortably on Jia Xu's shoulder.

Ma Chao understood that this must be the intelligence agency that Ma Teng and he instructed Jia Xu to secretly establish before-"Hidden Dragon", lurking in the "room" among the officials and soldiers, and using the method of flying pigeons to transmit information back to Jia Xu. Ma Chao also knew that Jia Xu had sent people to infiltrate the official army early, but Ma Chao believed that Jia Xu had not established the hidden dragon for a long time, and he was afraid that he did not have much strength. Ma Chao also thought that it would take a lot of time and energy to learn about the casualties of the officers and soldiers in this battle from the officers and soldiers. So Ma Chao didn't expect that Jia Xu would be able to get information from the officials and soldiers so quickly.
