Chapter 205: Attacking the Grain Delivery Team
Luochuan is indeed barren.
Most of the grain and grass consumed by the barbarians in Luochuan County still need to be transported from other places. Naturally, it is very troublesome to do so, but this part of Luochuan County cannot really be discarded, because it involves the integrity and stability of the occupied area.
The men and horses guarding the grain transport team were part of the barbarian soldiers stationed in Luochuan County. The barbarian soldiers stationed here would take turns guarding the grain and grass in the number of 2,000 at a time.
This time, the two barbarian commanders in charge of the escort are also the leaders of the two tribes, called Huo Lezi and the long-haired dragon. Because there has never been a problem with the delivery of grain these days, and it is not the first time that these two guys are responsible for guarding the grain and grass, they are also very relaxed along the way, and there is no tension at all.
"Long hair, go back this time, I want to find a girl to relax, this way, it's really boring!" The guy called Huo Lezi was really uncomfortable all the way, and when he saw that he was halfway through the trip, he couldn't help but complain to the long-haired dragon beside him.
"I said, you don't want to die in a woman's belly one day, every day, the kind of thing that is full of minds. I see that one day your waist is broken, and you can't stand up! When I go back, I have to drink happily first! "Unlike Fire, this long-haired dragon likes spirits. Because alcohol is not allowed on the escort mission, it is also very uncomfortable along the way.
"You're a fucking drunkard, and you're going to die drunk in a vat one day!" Huo Lezi also laughed and scolded. These two guys, don't look at each other's unkindness, but the relationship between the two is actually not bad, and it can be regarded as a similar smell.
In this way, the two guys joked with each other all the way, and they didn't pay too much attention to the guards, and they didn't even release the scouts along the way, because in their opinion, no one would care about them at all in this place where there was no oil and water.
It's just that just when the two of them were unconscious, the sound of a sudden storm sounded. Immediately, a scream was heard from among the barbarian grain and grass guards.
Not good –
Hearing such a voice, the faces of the long-haired dragon and Huo Lezi changed almost at the same time, as the leader, of course they knew that something was wrong. It's just that for a while, they were a little stupid, and someone really came to find trouble.
"Damn—"
The long-haired dragon was so angry that he scolded. It's just that before he could react, he saw that a sharp arrow had already shot towards his throat, with incomparable killing intent.
Flutter –
The arrow hit the long-haired dragon directly in the neck, and the unfortunate long-haired dragon's body was crooked, and the whole person fell off the horse, and he died. The drunkard long-haired dragon died like this.
Arrows raining down!
Naturally, the long-haired dragon was not the only one who was hit by the arrow. That is, in a few breaths, there were already seven or eight hundred barbarian escort soldiers who were shot.
Kill –
As soon as the rain of arrows had not completely stopped, the shouts of killing immediately rang out. The men and horses lying in ambush on both sides rushed out of their hiding places, took the weapons in their hands, and killed the barbarian soldiers in the panic.
These people are naturally the soldiers of the two thousand-man squad that Mark trained during this time. Some of these soldiers had never seen blood. Don't look at these guys, it turns out that they are mountain bandits, but many people are characters who follow the crowd and shout, and there are not many people who have actually seen blood.
So, this time Mark also has the meaning of making these people really see blood. As a qualified soldier, it is obviously not okay not to see blood. A soldier who has never seen blood is always a recruit.
A sneak attack directly annihilated one-third of the opponent's men and horses, and another charge, killing nearly one-third. In this case, the barbarian soldiers who protected the grain and grass completely collapsed. Naturally, there is not much risk in chasing down these collapsed remnants of the defeated generals, so many recruits who have never seen blood are not much timid, and they have stabbed each other with the weapons in their hands.
It's just that some guys who are a little less brave can't help but vomit after seeing that they really stabbed each other to death. Among them, there are really unlucky eggs, but because of this, they were killed by the other party who took the opportunity to fight back.
The remnants of the barbarians, in fact, did not flee a few. After all, the difference in numbers between the two sides is there!
After quickly cleaning up the battlefield, Mark commanded the people to transport all the barbarians' grain and grass as quickly as possible. The vehicles transporting grain are all there, and the horses pulling the carts basically do not have much loss, and the people who are responsible for assisting in the transportation are actually the border people of Daqin who were captured by the barbarians. When Mark's soldiers appeared, they directly crouched down with their heads in their hands, hiding themselves under the grain cart.
When the battle was over, they found that it was their own people who had won, and they immediately shouted excitedly. So, they took the initiative to join the grain and grass transportation team. This time, it was also to transport grain and grass, but the enthusiasm of these border people was high, and one by one, they were not lazy at all.
Not only that, but these people kept asking Mark's soldiers where they were.
When they learned that the team was formed by the chief general and captain of the barbarian army, some strong men directly proposed to join the team and continue to fight the barbarians. These people's requests, Mark readily agreed. Because the quality and trustworthiness of these people are actually better than the mountain bandits.
Because for these people, Mark is simply their savior. If it weren't for Mark and the others, they might not have lived long, either being killed by the barbarians as tools of the game, or dying of exhaustion or starvation.
At the same time, many of these people also have a deep hatred for the barbarians, and many of their family members have died at the hands of the barbarians.
There were more than 1,100 border people who assisted in escorting grain and grass, and in the end, more than 600 people mainly asked to join the team, and although the rest did not ask to join the team, they also chose to stay and engage in logistics work.
Some of them are because their bodies can't keep up, and of course, there are also some because of their personalities.
However, later Luo Dalong found a few people who had read books and knew words from these people. So, Luo Dalong directly picked out these people and served as his assistants to help him manage logistics, bookkeeping, registration and other things.
Seeing the nearly 1,000 truckloads of grain and grass transported back, Luo Dalong was a lot more down-to-earth, and hurriedly went to organize people to return the grain and grass to the warehouse, and planned how to better use these grains and grass in the future.
