Three days later, Blood Sword led an army of 3,000 to leave Yunyang Village.

Riding a horse and whipping at the forefront of the team, the blood sword was in a very good mood. This time, the three of them, together with their studios, gathered a total of 3,000 people and horses, nearly 40 generals, and recruited a total of more than 6,000 people to escort grain and grass, a total of nearly 10,000 people. He really couldn't think of anyone else who could resist such a formidable army at this stage.

"Not even the hermit." Blood Sword thought so, and his spirit was lifted.

He is eager to prove himself with a big win against Xiang Yangshao. Although the family is rich, they have no foundation, and hugging the Song family's thighs is something that the family has repeatedly advised. Since Yang Shao wants to bulldoze Xanadu Village, it is an excellent opportunity.

The only thing that makes him unhappy is that the traffic is too bad. Three thousand horses were drawn long, like a giant serpent crawling through the mountains. This style of painting is too inappropriate. The march in his mind should be a little more grandiose. But it doesn't matter, before arriving at Xanadu Village, it is a sightseeing tour.

However, the good mood disappeared five days after leaving Yunyang Village. The blood sword couldn't help but secretly slander itself. The manpower of the studio was gradually arranged to the Xanadu Village to form a complete supply line. But in a blink of an eye, Yang Shao changed his mind, and was only willing to use Yunyang Village as the front line, and arranged the manpower of the studio together to form a territorial group. In the name of it, it is called building a solid base before other forces. This is safe, even if other forces join the ranks of the battle for the lonely boat, the Song family can still gain a firm foothold, but in this way, the difficulty of the expedition to Xanadu Village, which is 300 kilometers away, will be increased several times.

Every day, the scene in front of me is basically the same. The road was impassable, and the march was only more than 20 miles in a day. Five days have passed, and only half of the way has been reached. This made him feel very uncomfortable. If the original plan is carried out according to the original plan, the scouts sent out in five days will be able to touch Xanadu Village.

"Hurry up." The blood sword vented his frustration on the NPC generals under him.

The generals were helpless.

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. This is one of the foundations. Secondly, it is also necessary for the pioneer battalion to open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water to open up roads for the main forces in the rear. But this lord didn't think about why the ancient army was divided into three armies: front, middle and rear. 3,000 soldiers and horses, 6,000 people marched together. The soldiers and horses were gone, and the men trampled on the horses, and the road came out. But those grain and grass baggage can't speed up on such a road.

It's not that no one reminded them before the expedition, but the lords didn't take it seriously, and only cared about gathering more soldiers and horses, food and grass, and recruiting enough people.

"Lord, it's better to let the last general lead three hundred soldiers and horses to open the way first. No, it is difficult for the army's grain carts to speed up. A military general took the initiative to take on this drudgery.

Unlike in the Central Plains, Zhuya Prefecture is desolate. The pioneer battalion not only has to open the road in the mountains and build bridges in the water, but also has to choose the address where to camp and set up camp to facilitate the rear army, and the mountains are high and dense, there are many fierce beasts, and there are many people, which affects the speed of the march, and there are fewer people. No compromises of drudgery.

However, he is self-aware. He was originally the leader of the rogues, but after being defeated and captured, he surrendered the blood sword. Compared to other colleagues who came over on his own initiative, he was naturally ostracized by other colleagues, and he needed the opportunity to increase his status in the eyes of the lord. The other colleagues were silent, so he had no choice but to recommend himself.

"Yes, my lord, the mountain road is rugged, and the grain cart is difficult to travel. Send the vanguard battalion to open the way in front to speed up the march. The other generals echoed their words.

Blood Sword was stunned, rubbing his chin and groaning for a moment. He's not stupid either. If it was just one person who said that, he wouldn't believe it. But all the generals under him proposed this, and it would not be wrong to think about it. So I gladly agreed.

With the permission of the Blood Sword, all the generals secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally put the war back on the normal track. So everyone took the opportunity to gossip again.

"My lord, the last general thought that he would send more scouts to explore the way forward to avoid being ambushed."

The last general suggested that the army be divided into three armies, the front, the middle and the rear, echoing each other. It's in line with the way of soldiers. ”

"Yes, yes, the front army opens the way, the Chinese army sits in the center, and the rear army escorts the grain, grass and baggage for the king."

The blood sword was noisy by the generals, and couldn't help but scold angrily: "Shut up Lao Tzu." ”

The generals immediately closed their mouths.

"Do you think Lao Tzu doesn't understand? Ahh This time it's not about attacking a city, it's just going to bulldoze a level 3 village. Bulldozing a village still requires such a rigorous march? Not to mention whether he knew that Lao Tzu was going to attack his village, even if he knew, how many troops a level 3 village could have. One hundred, two hundred, or three hundred? How dare he fight to the death with my army of 3,000. Give him a hundred dares. The blood sword scolded and sprayed the blood of the dogs.

After scolding the generals, Blood Sword impatiently raised his horsewhip and nodded at the military general who originally proposed: "Whoever you say, according to what you said, will give you 300 soldiers and horses to open the way in front." If you delay Lao Tzu's plan, Lao Tzu will cut off your dog's head. ”

"If things are not good, the last general is willing to come to see him."

Blood Sword waved his whip impatiently, and his mood improved slightly. He admired the general. If all the generals under his command were such loyal generals, why should he leave a deep impression on Yang Shao's heart.

Three hundred soldiers and horses were quickly deployed. Blood Sword looked up at the sky, and simply ordered him to go down and set up camp and rest for a night. In the past few days, he has been riding on horseback, but he has been so bumped that his bones are about to fall apart. The original high spirits have all turned into a depressed stomach. I knew that the march was so hard, so I didn't ask for hardship.

……

A certain valley.

What was once an inaccessible valley is now much more lively. A camp was well situated next to the river that ran through the valley. In the middle of the camp not far from the riverbank, Zhao Yun and Ding Yan were discussing in the tent.

"Report!"

A junior colonel hurriedly walked into the tent, knelt down in front of the two of them, and said, "Twenty miles away, I found three hundred soldiers and horses coming this way. ”

When Zhao Yun and the others heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up. It's finally here.

The expedition was really unsettling for them. It was not that he expected the failure of the expedition, but that he was worried about the safety of the lord and the paradise village. There was no news from the village for a long time, and the two of them had the urge to lead the army back several times. However, before setting out on the expedition, Lu Yao's advice made them have to worry about arranging a future blocking plan.

"General Zilong, the great enemy has arrived, and this time we will definitely swallow these three hundred soldiers and horses." Ding Yan categorically bowed his hand to Zhao Yun, who was heading up. This expedition, Zhao Yun is the commander appointed by the lord.

"Okay, there is Lao Gongyu left, and I will lead the troops with Da Niu to meet it." Zhao Yun was also unambiguous, and slammed down on the rudimentary map placed on the desk in front of him.

This map was completed day and night after the two men arrived here. The terrain within a radius of thirty miles was simply recorded. This is also a task that Lu Yao has repeatedly explained before the expedition, and the two dare not slack off. Based on this rudimentary map, several ambush locations have been chosen. The first ambush site that the opposing pioneer battalion was about to enter.

Ding Yan shook his head and said, "The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength. Now that there are not enough troops, if we want to swallow this vanguard battalion, you and I need to do our best. ”
