To be honest, if you have enough strength and like to be reckless, then it will obviously be better than a big knife or a machete, hammer, mace, or even flail.

As long as the strength is strong enough, you can basically open a scoop at once. There will definitely be weapons loss, but at least there will be no concerns about rolling blades, and you can smash them all the way. At the same time, because the structure is simple and rough, it is easy to return to the furnace.

"How about this, help build a thousand long-handled axes to equip one of the cavalry and test the effect." Liu Tao thought for a while, and then ordered.

This place is not too far from Shanyuting. After crossing the river, it can reach up to 200 miles. In theory, as the front line, the rebels should have attacked the first one, but they did not attack, which is a bit incredible.

Or do you think there is no benefit here and plan to attack Taiyuan or Shangdang and plunder in the most prosperous area of ​​Bingzhou?

Anyway, more than 10,000 people who have come here as a baggage force have already returned to Yunzhong County one after another. The rest are auxiliary soldiers with certain combat effectiveness, two thousand infantrymen and hundreds of scouts... Stay and stay in Luo County to ensure the safety of the rear.

Liu Tao could do it, with Luo County as the center, relying on the movement speed of the cavalry, penetrated deep into the heartland of the Southern Xiongnu, and even went out to find traces of the rebels, and then fought hard.

"Have you discovered signs of rebels recently?" After dealing with the master craftsman, Liu Tao must not care about the traces of the rebels.

After all, no one wanted to do that. The front was attacking Shanyuting, and then the thief suddenly came from behind and double-teamed them.

Or they suddenly ambush somewhere and wait for them to come to their door. "Fenglong's Insight" has too few scopes to detect, and they have to rely on some basic reconnaissance methods to understand the surrounding situation.

"No traces of the thief were found, and my subordinates planned to increase the scope of reconnaissance one after another. However, some information about the rebels had been investigated in the fort." Zhang Liao, who was in charge of commanding the reconnaissance cavalry, replied, taking him out to accumulate experience this time.

According to the calculations of birth in 169 AD, he is twenty years old this year. However, he has already reached the crown early, and similar situations will also occur, such as his father died early and had to take over all the affairs of the family as soon as possible.

So he gave the ceremony early and started to take on everything at home at the age of fourteen or five. This situation is not rare. As for his prose word "Wenyuan", it is said that his father gave him the word "Wenyuan" when he was alive, so Liu Tao lacked the chance to give him the word ".

"Let me tell me." Liu Tao was a little curious about this statement.

"First, my subordinates found some broken docks and occasionally found a few survivors. They said that the rebels took away all the people in the docks and did not look in a hurry to kill them.

The investigation continued within a radius of 50 miles in Luo County, and occasionally one or two docks that had not yet been captured. The time when they were attacked by the rebels was almost twenty days ago.

When the rebels found that they could not break through or consumed too much, they gave up attacking and quickly went east. However, the first one was not the Hu people, but a group of Han people. However, the Hun cavalry would shoot around the fort to cover these Han people." Zhang Liao replied.

He paused and then made a summary: "The subordinates believed that during this period, the rebels mainly collected a large number of Han people around him and joined the army. The purpose might be to break through the Great Wall and break into Taiyuan, and before that, they would come in to avoid unnecessary war damage."

Although it is already semi-agricultural civilization, the Southern Xiongnu still retains too many characteristics of grassland ethnic groups. For example, it is not good at siege, so it is understandable that it requires a large amount of meat shields and cannon fodder.

Liu Tao remembers reading similar novels before, where the Hu people drove a large number of Han people to the city wall and asked them to attack the city. This group of cannon fodder like refugees came under the city wall and had to beg for mercy.

But the soldiers guarding the city cannot put them in. In some eras, the Hu people would also infiltrate spies. As long as these people enter the city, the city gate will be opened immediately. The temporary kindness of women is likely to lead to the fall of a strong city.

Or, throwing a large number of corpses that have begun to decay into the city with a stone thrust is the most primitive and cruel biological and chemical weapon. Perhaps it is precisely because of the lack of moral education and humanitarian spirit that as long as you can win, you can use all means.

Obviously, these methods are completely a relationship of mortal hatred between Hu and Han, but it is not to say that one or two generations can dissipate this hatred. According to the Gongyang School, the hatred of nine generations can be revenged!

"You did a good job!" Liu Tao admitted that the news Zhang Liao had found out was very reasonable with his analysis. "Next, we must gradually understand the whereabouts of the main rebel forces to facilitate our next attack."

"Here!" Zhang Liao nodded. He was very happy that his analysis was praised.

"In addition!" Liu Tao thought for a while, "It is not ruled out that the main force of the rebels will come. At that time, a large number of Han people may be driven to attack the city. I only have one request. If the remaining lieutenant and Sima of another department are planning to open the city gate and put these Han people in, and give you the power to take action first and then report!"

"Can't you let it go?" Zhang Liao hesitated.

"Maybe there are spies who have mixed up with the rebels among these Han people? Our logistics and supplies are all here. If something goes wrong here, maybe our only result is to retreat and return to Yunzhong County..." Liu Tao replied.

"I understand!" Zhang Liao may be a kind and righteous man, but he is also a qualified and excellent soldier. After understanding the key points of it, his expression became firm and decisive.

"Maybe you will feel a little uncomfortable at that time, and grit your teeth and persevere. In the future, this hatred will be returned a hundred times!" Liu Tao patted his shoulder, "You have good potential. As long as you study hard and increase the following experience in the battle, you may not be able to become a good general in the future. Don't let me down!"

"Here!" Zhang Liaozheng pointed, feeling a little excited, but he didn't expect that the general would like to see him so much.

To be honest, would there be some risks to hand over the rear completely to Zhang Liao? Liu Tao thought about it and then kept Gao Shun's camp.

The camp belongs to heavy infantry, with only 500 soldiers under its jurisdiction, each of which is the most elite among the soldiers under Liu Tao. In fact, there is one thing that Liu Tao is very strange. In history, there is a number of people in the camp, which rarely reaches one thousand...

Of course, it may be that Lu Bu cannot afford it, but he uses the battalion unit. There are sayings: two songs, one part, five parts, one battalion, and two battalion and one army. According to this ratio, the battalion unit should have 5,000 troops.

A camp with only 700 people is more appropriate than a camp or a team...

Gao Shun didn't say anything. After receiving the military order and receiving the order, he immediately led the camp to stay, without any ambiguity.

After a period of contact, he gives people the feeling that he is ascetic, or has a low emotional intelligence. He simply just follows the order and acts. He will not care whether it makes things difficult. Even if he encounters problems, he will only consider how to solve the problem!

Liu Tao was very happy that before he was loyal to Lu Bu, he was the first to be loyal to him...
