Chapter 682: I Want Five Hundred Elite Riders!

"Tell my lord, this time we were not only attacked by zombies, but also by bandits! ……”

Zhou Cang looked at Chu He, knelt down on one knee and clasped his hands and said.

At first, it was a group of zombies that attacked the camp, and Zhou Cang didn't care, only to find out later that these zombies were deliberately attracted by someone.

The two-meter-high earthen wall is not very high, but it is enough to keep the zombies out.

But for the nimble and athletic bandits, it's not that high.

Therefore, after a tragic battle, Zhou Cang finally relied on the sharpness of his weapons to stop the bandits and retreat.

This kind of thing happened at night, and Zhou Cang didn't know how many enemies there were, but according to his estimates, there were at least about a thousand people attacking the village this time.

And these people are dressed quite in tatters, and they don't have any moves when they fight, they rely entirely on brute force, and they don't have any plans when they attack.

"Bandits? Do you have any information about them? ”

Chu He listened to Zhou Cang's report and hesitated for a long time before asking.

Zhou Cang nodded slightly after hearing this, and hurriedly took out a stack of documents from the bookshelf on the side and put them on the desk: "Lord, this is the information obtained by our army in the past two days!" ”

"Good! I'll take a look first, if you go to spread the message to Jincheng, you will say that my Chu River is here, and let five hundred elite cavalry be sent over there! I'm going to crack down on bandits! ”

Chu He looked at Zhou Cang and said softly.

His arrival must be notified to Jincheng, so as not to send more search teams to Jincheng, and on the other hand, it is also to stabilize the morale of the army and Changshan.

Zhou Cang took the order and retreated.

The Yan Emperor in the camp tent breathed a sigh of relief slightly, Chu He raised his head and smiled, looked at them and said, "Xu Huang, you go to Zhou Cang to arrange a few camp tents, so that the brothers can have a good rest!" ”

"Lord Wang, this time to suppress bandits, you must take me with you!"

Emperor Yan looked at Chu He and said with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

At the same time, Ma Chao and Xu Huang also hugged hands and requested.

Wang Wu on the side hesitated, suddenly raised his head, looked at Chu He and said, "Lord Wang, take me with you this time!" I'm not as good as you, but my senses and acumen can help a lot! ”

After listening to the words of the four people, Chu He smiled, nodded and said, "Have a good rest!" I'm sure I'll call you when I leave! ”

After hearing this, the four of them hurriedly thanked them and walked outside.

Not long after, Zhou Cang returned to the camp and waited for Chu He's questioning.

"The information is very detailed, and the surrounding topographic map is also good! In addition, you inform the brothers who are scouting outside, tell them to be careful, these bandits shili have formed a climate, and they have also divided into regions! ”

After Chu He finished reading it, he sighed slightly, looked up at Zhou Cang and said.

The scouts who sent out brought back detailed information, and there were some descriptions of the bandits.

Cannibalistic, brutal and beast-like!

This is the most intuitive description of Tanma, and it also brought back the strongholds of the three bandits shili within a radius of a hundred miles, including the size and approximate number of bandits shili.

"My lord! This information was sent yesterday, and I have already told my brother! …… The last general dared to implore the lord to return to Jincheng as soon as possible, there are coalition forces here to deal with it, and five hundred elite cavalry may not be enough......"

Zhou Cang knelt down and admonished.

Chu He knew Zhou Cang's intentions, but his intentions had already been decided, so he would not change, he walked down, helped Zhou Cang up, and said softly: "Zhou Cang, you don't have to worry!" I'm afraid the coalition forces haven't hit here so soon at the moment! I estimate that it will take at least a month for them to reorganize before they can send troops to Chang'an, and then they will advance slowly, and they will not be able to come here without two months! At least three months to advance around the Golden City! ”

Listening to Chu He's words, Zhou Cang wanted to continue to dissuade him, but he felt that there was no need for this.

"Come, tell me about this campaign and the situation in Jincheng!"

Chu He looked at Zhou Cang and asked.

Zhou Cang hurriedly said: "Lord, there are more than a dozen zombie armies encountered by our army this time, with a total of more than 50,000, except for one that withdrew from Jincheng without a fight, the other zombie armies were all wiped out by our army, among them, ......"

Speaking of this campaign, Zhou Cang's eyebrows danced and he told about it.

Looking at his excited eyes, Chu He knew what they had gained in this battle.

Glory and incomparably strong faith!

This is what Chu He wanted to see.

After Guan Yu and Lu Bu met in Jincheng, they deployed defenses around, and also sent many scouts to explore in the direction of Xiliang.

However, there are a lot of zombies in the Xiliang direction, even in the wilderness, there are groups of zombies.

There are even large groups of zombie cavalry inside, and Jincheng's army sent hundreds of people, but few returned.

However, this information was only known in the hearts of the commander-in-chief and the generals, and was not told to the soldiers below.

Fortunately, there are not many zombies near the banks of the Yellow River, and no zombies cross the river.

Therefore, the army of Jincheng is still in the process of recuperation.

At the same time, Guo Jia asked Chang Shanyou for a firearm and an elite weapon soaked in dragon liquid.

Listening to this, Chu He nodded slightly.

At night, there was a lot of joy in the camp, because of the arrival of the Chu River, Zhou Cang prepared some sumptuous banquets to celebrate the Chu River.

However, alcohol was not allowed in the army, so they did not drink in Chuhe.

It was also very quiet tonight, and there were no enemies attacking, but there was some strange movement in the wilderness.

Time passed quickly, and the next day was just dawning.

Zhou Cang excitedly came to Chu He's side and delivered a letter from Guo Jia to Chu He's hand: "Lord, the military division has deployed five hundred elites of the greedy wolf army to come, and now they have boarded the ship in the front port, and they will come here in a few days!" ”

"Yes! Very good! ”

Chu He nodded, slowly opened the letter, first with some words of greeting, and then a brief description of the situation in Jincheng, and Zuihou introduced some of the later situations.

After seeing it, Chu He went straight to the earthen wall, looked at the surrounding environment, his heart moved, and he turned his head and said: "Zhou Cang, send out a hundred cavalry, prepare torches, and burn all the grass a hundred steps ahead for me, preferably within three miles around, without an inch of grass!" Also, set some traps outside the camp! ”

"No!"

Zhou Cang listened to the order and issued the general order as soon as possible.

Soon a group of cavalry galloped out and began to burn according to the method of the Chu River.

Xu Huang and the others, who heard the movement, also climbed the city wall, looking at the flames burning in the distance, and they didn't know what Chu He was doing.

However, Wang Wu found something, looked at the soldiers who were arranging traps around the earthen village, thought for a while, came to Chu He and said, "Lord Wang, can you leave the work of laying traps to me?" ”

"Oh? If you want, just go! Zhou Cang, the five brothers are trappers, and they will arrange all the traps for him, and follow his orders to execute! ”

Chu He said loudly.
