Chapter 59 Ambush and Robbery 1

It is also because the two men have been delayed for more than ten days to collect grain and fodder, but the chariots under Jiang Dongfang have increased by more than 200. Most of these new chariots were built by the Ordnance Department of Yanzhou with the help of Yan Yueru. The rest was made by the officers and soldiers of the equipment battalion on the front line.

Nearly 2,000 cattle and 3,000 soldiers arrived at the battalion of Zhang Zhentian and Yuqun with the chariots. Although this original country lacks horses, there is no shortage of cattle and people. Cows that could only be cultivated can now be used in war. For the original, it can't be happier.

Early that morning, the original scout returned to the camp. He brought accurate news to Zhang Zhentian and Yu Qun. The orcs newly recruited 20,000 soldiers, as well as cattle, sheep, grain, bedding and other supplies for winter, went on the road together two days ago. The newly recruited 20,000 orc soldiers, including 3,000 cavalry and 17,000 infantry. For Zhang Zhentian and Yu Qun, this is undoubtedly another good news. Orcs have always been good at horseback riding, but most of the reinforcements in this test are infantry. This shows that the orc's horses are also beginning to tighten, which is undoubtedly great news for the original man.

In this way, Zhang Zhentian and Jiang Dongfang did not delay. They ordered 8,000 cavalry in the camp, gathered 300 chariots, and went on the road that night. The 20,000 soldiers of the Baiyue army supporting Yanyun Battalion had arrived at the camp of Zhang Zhentian and Qiqun seven days ago. As for how Yu Qun arranged the defense of the camp after Zhang Zhentian and Jiang Dongfang left, it goes without saying.

On the way to march, Zhang Zhentian and Jiang Dongfang ordered their soldiers to put their mouth rings on the horses and bulls and let them carry straws. The purpose of this is to prevent livestock from screaming during the march and alarming the orc camp not far away. Similarly, the advancing army did not light the torch, and the purpose was the same, which could not be noticed by the orcs.

The original army marched northwest for one night, and the next morning, they were already away from their camp. Now, they have entered the territory of the orcs. This is a vast grassland, and the boundless grass fluctuates like waves under the morning wind.

"Brother Zhang, it seems that the orcs are also lax in defense." Jiang Dongfang stood on the bull chariot and said to Zhang Zhentian, who was riding on the horse beside him.

"Yes!" Zhang Zhentian nodded, "The orcs are using large-scale troops this time. The northern border of the entire primitive empire is at war. How many of them can call/."

"Hehe! It seems that there are more nomads than our earth. Jiang Dongfang smiled at Zhang Zhentian's words, "If there is no war, it must be good to graze in their orcs' territory."

"Haha! Think beautifully." Zhang Zhentian laughed happily. After laughing, he pointed to the pasture in front of him and said, "Although these pastures are still lush now, you don't see that their leaf shoots have become yellow. I guess winter is coming!"

Jiang Dongfang laughed and didn't make a sound after listening to Zhang Zhentian's words. He understood what Zhang Zhentian meant. As soon as winter came, the days on the grassland were no longer so comfortable. At this moment, an original scout cavalry came back from the front. His horse ran to Zhang Zhentian and Jiang Dongfang, and he reported loudly, "Mr. Zhang, General Jiang! An orc herdsman's tent was found in front. What should we do?"

"Does it prevent us from marching?" Zhang Zhentian said such a sentence inexplicably. In fact, he himself knows how much to ask. If it doesn't hinder the march, what will the scout do when he comes back and tells him?

"Sent someone to watch it!" Jiang Dongfang said. It seems that he is no better than Zhang Zhentian. He also moved the people's army's love for the people to the original world.

"I'll take someone there!" At this time, Yao Xiu next to Zhang Zhentian answered loudly, "The two big men still need to be so ink when dealing with the herdsmen of several orcs!" She said that the horse that urged ** rushed to the front, "You take people with me!" After saying that, she urged Ma Jiao to run forward with the original scouts. Behind her, several guards lieutenants led more than a hundred cavalry and galloped forward behind Yao Xiu.

When Zhang Zhentian and Jiang Dongfang saw Yao Xiu leading the troops away, they looked at each other and smiled. It seems that in war, there is no difference between heroes and demons, gods of war and gods of death. The two of them brought something from the earth's world, which is not applicable in this world.

"The army accelerates!" Zhang Zhentian turned around and greeted the army behind him. Under Zhang Zhentian's order, the soldiers either led the horse or followed the bull chariot and accelerated their pace. In the era of cold weapons, no cavalry unit is marching on horseback unless there are enough horses.

On the other side of the war, the two armies led by the 20,000 troops, carrying a large amount of equipment, cattle and sheep, and still marched slowly on the orc prairie. Their territory is several times farther away from the orc's West Camp than Zhang Zhentian's arrival at the ambush site. Therefore, although Zhang Zhentian and others set out later than them, they had enough time to prepare.

"Brother, we have been gone for five days. You can see our camp in about three days, right? He rode on the war horse and asked the Xixiang next to him.

"Yes! This walk, back and forth for more than a month! I don't know how my father and the camp are doing. Yu Xiang nodded and answered.

"I'm sure everything will be fine." Xi said, "My father is not comparable to my carboxy. He won't make a mistake like stalking.

"Ha ha, I think so." He smiled. Although he said so, his heart was still full of trembling.

"The eldest prince, the fourth prince!" An orc scout came from the front, "A sentry in front of us was attacked a few days ago!"

"The sentry station was attacked?" After listening to the scout's words, he grabbed the horse's reins and then decided to look at the scout, "How can I get back to my son? Who did it?"

"I don't know!" The scout replied, "All the people at the sentry station are dead. The body has no trace of being bitten by the beast. It seems that it should have been done by the original man!"

"Original person?" Hearing the scout's words, he sneered, "Ha ha, they are so bold! Now how dare you go wild on our Beimin's territory? The scout listened to Xi's words and didn't make a sound. He just rode on the horse and bowed his head and stood aside.

"I ask you, have you found any traces of the original person recently?" He didn't pay attention to what he said, so he thought for a moment and continued to ask.

"No!" The scout has to answer simply. After that, the scout paused and said, "The eldest prince, there is a large mountain ahead. That's the only place we need to go back to camp. I don't know..."

"All right! Don't say more." Xixi was so dissatisfied that he interrupted the scout's words, "Then can you find the traces of the original man in the mountains?"

"This...no! The fourth prince. The scout whispered in a low voice.

"That's good! You go first." Yu Xiang waved his hand to signal that the scout could leave. Then he raised his arm high and said, "The army stopped moving forward! Rest in place."

"Brother, you don't really have to believe what the scout said just now, do you?" Seeing that the army ordered the army to stop moving forward, he asked with some dissatisfaction, "Do you really think that their original people will hide in the mountains to ambush us?"

"Ha ha. It's better to be careful." As he said, he came down from the horse. The soldiers who followed him also got off the horse together. He squatted on the ground, and he stretched out his hand to his soldiers, "The map of the march." The latter listened to Zhuo Xiang's words, quickly took out the marching map from his pocket, and then spread it on the ground respectfully.

Xunxiang squatted on the edge of the map and looked carefully for a while, and then he turned his head and said to Xunxiang, "Brother, if the original people wanted to ambush us, this mountain is really a good place!"

"Brother, I don't believe that their original people will have the courage to ambush us!" Hearing this, he answered disdainfully. He and Yuxiang do carry a large amount of heavy vehicles, but they still have 20,000 troops! Thinking of this, he beg for his life, "Brother, let's do this! I took a thousand cavalry to scout first. Can you lead the brigade to follow up slowly?

"In this case, I will give you 2,000 cavalry. Be careful on the way! When I have the original man's trick in my heart. Yu Xiang nodded and answered.

"Brother, don't worry!" After saying that, he rode the horse again, and then he took 2,000 orc cavalry to the mountain.
