Chapter 394
There were not many horses in Luoyang, and the cavalry was too obvious, so Liu Ge and Shangguan Yu not only brought their closest soldiers, but also did not dare to leave on horseback. Instead, they sent about twenty horses to the suburbs in advance and used them for transportation when they left.
It is precisely because of this that the thousand-infantry soldiers each brought naturally dragged down the speed of the entire army. Otherwise, with the physical strength of the horses, if you are traveling at full speed, it would be a big problem for two miles a day [567 Chinese www.yue20.com].
It was just said that the next morning, Zhang Fei had already taken Liu Ge and took the lead in going around the thief's nest, and took away most of the horses. So much so that Guan Yu and Shangguan Yu's troops had to get off the horse and walk.
However, this itself is part of the plan. Not only did it dismount, but even Shangguan Yu's army also removed the armor and hid it in the cart, pretending to be a baggage team.
There are only 2,500 soldiers in a group, and only 1,500 soldiers. Without a banner, they don’t seem to be an elite existence. Will the thieves take action when passing by Baibo Valley? Liu Tao hopes that they take action. Anyway, judging from the current results of the "feedback" back, it is obvious that several people of the leader level are discussing.
Liu Tao was not in a hurry to leave, and rushed slowly. When he even reached Baibo Valley, he pretended it was already noon, so he temporarily rested in the valley. The thief who came to check naturally reported back.
"Whether they fight or not, let's take the initiative to kill him." Guan Yu thought for a while, feeling that there was no need to spoil the thief.
"Speaking of this, they wouldn't think that we are here to suppress bandits, right?" Liu Tao thought of this possibility.
"If the soldiers who didn't even get a banner were not known, the officers and soldiers didn't know who could be suppressed?" Guan Yu asked back.
Speaking of which, through the feedback from "Fenglong's Insight", he and Liu Tao noticed that someone in the thief head decided to take action. The last three thief heads chose to go out, and there were about two thief heads left behind.
"Who is Xu Huang?" Guan Yu looked at Liu Tao. He was very worried that he would accidentally kill the other party on the battlefield.
"You are not that easy to kill, but Xu Huang." Liu Tao didn't know Xu Huang either, but this person should be very powerful. He fought Xu Chu for fifty rounds in the Romance without a chance of winning or losing. "By the way, he might be using a big axe!"
Whether it is the Romance or the portraits passed down from later generations, Xu Huang always holds a big axe in his hand. There are not many people who use the axe in his impression, and the famous one is Xu Huang, which is Pan Feng.
"That's easy to identify..." Guan Yu nodded and continued to 'watch' the situation of the thief. They discussed before that they did not take weapons, but after leaving, they took them. None of the three who came out had an axe, but there were some left behind.
"It seems that Yide is mainly responsible. I hope he can show mercy. I don't want a person to die here." Liu Tao sighed slightly.
By the way, I saw that the thieves had come from all directions, relying on the valley terrain, and were facing high. One of them came to the vicinity of Liu Tao and others and shouted: "Are you here to suppress the bandits, or are you passing by here?"
"Is there any difference?" Liu Tao stepped forward and asked.
"If you come to suppress the bandits, then it's simple. If you dismount and surrender, I will spare you all the time. And you can eat and drink with us. Isn't it happy! If you are passing by, then it's simple. Leave your horses and property, wherever you should go..." The thief in the lead replied immediately.
"However, you don't have to surrender when you pass by? What if I say, I'm here to join the gang?" Liu Tao asked back.
"Brother, your attitude is not like someone who comes to join the gang, but more like someone who comes to join the gang." The other party joked, who is so arrogant about joining the gang? But just like him, he really doesn't look like someone who comes to suppress bandits, but more like someone who comes to join the gang and then falls into trouble.
I have heard in the past two days that Luoyang is in chaos. It is rumored that the two princes have died and the royal family has no heirs, so they can only choose one from the sidelines.
There was chaos there, and then there was a soldier without a banner coming here. It was probably because he had failed to seize power in Luoyang. In order to avoid being liquidated, he could not escape and planned to fall into trouble.
But after all, it was an officer and a soldier, so he would definitely not be willing to surrender to him, so there was no way to avoid it.
"I have to say, you're really half guessing!" Liu Tao smiled, "I dare to ask, but Mr. Guo, Chief Guo?"
"It's Mr. Guo!" Guo nodded, but it was very strange. How did the other party know his existence?
Mrs. Guo was also considered an old Yellow Turban, but because of the failure of the uprising, he had to escape into the place and wander for a while. He did not make any famous. After all, he was essentially a dog that was a loser. Finally, he came to Baibo Valley and finally settled down. With his old subordinates, he learned from the Yellow Turbans of the past, recruited local people to join, and even took over the force, and developed thousands of them in a blink of an eye.
Later, the government came to suppress the bandits. He used the terrain to defeat them again and again and again, and recruited county soldiers. In a blink of an eye, there were already tens of thousands of soldiers. The soldiers who could fight... or they could be considered as war soldiers, with about five thousand people.
The other old, weak, sick and disabled people are said to be soldiers, or those of the baggage team, and they are useless.
However, they currently have 5,000 people and occupy the geographical advantage. They are ready for stones and logs, and there is nothing to be afraid of. In the past, the officers and soldiers came to suppress the bandits, and relying on this, they also defeated the officers and soldiers!
"Robbery! What you can choose is to surrender, and then hand over all the supplies, and the people will be my captives for the time being. I have very shortage of people in Bingzhou, and only you are not enough." Liu Tao said with great interest.
At this moment, let alone Mrs. Guo, even Han Xian behind him, Li Le and Hu Cai were a little confused. After coming to their senses, they laughed. They came to rob, but what did the other party say now? Robbery?!
"Brothers, we have been robbing others since we were in the forsaken world." Guo laughed loudly, "Now someone dares to rob us. What do you think?"
"Don't you do it!" Everyone responded, obviously looking down on Liu Tao's two thousand people. Perhaps the scale of the officers and soldiers suppressing bandits in the past was two or three thousand, or even four or five thousand, among which there may be the servants gathered by various gentry.
It is precisely because of the many wandering soldiers who have been dispersed, that these thieves have begun to feel confused and confident.
"It seems that it's not okay if you don't do it?" Liu Tao looked at Mrs. Guo.
"That's what I want to say. Now surrender, I don't think you heard what you said before." Guo Tai shouted back, but he secretly asked the thieves around him to prepare, especially the stone and log.
"There's nothing to do..." Liu Tao pointed to Mr. Guo, "Chang Yun, get the thief's head back!"
"Here!" Guan Yu took the order and immediately rode his horse to kill him. Zi Hualiu, who was known for his speed, started to enter the stage of running at full speed after a brief start.
"Shoot!" Mr. Guo immediately ordered that the archers were shooting one after another, not using any strong bows, just some hunting bows.
