Chapter 277: Why should the horse leather shroud be returned?
"Although there are not many defenders of Blackwater City, it is controlled by the Sledgehammer God himself, and it is not so easy for the Thorn Slave to capture Blackwater City. ”
Although General Wu said that there was nothing wrong with his mouth, his face was worried.
The garrison of Blackwater City is less than 40,000, and among them, it also includes all kinds of miscellaneous and civilian soldiers, and the real combatants are at best 20,000.
With 20,000 defenders against hundreds of thousands of elite thorn slaves, the pressure can be imagined.
Just when General Wu was worried, the sky was about to break, and the mighty carriage was already heading towards the Jiudaowan barracks in the morning light.
Zhao Yuan had been silent, he was thinking, and he also thought of what General Wu was worried about.
Judging from the current situation, the Thorn Slave Cavalry that went deep into Blackwater City has pinned down at least two barracks, and the only Maple Forest Barracks that has not been harassed should not dare to act rashly, for fear of a sneak attack by the Thorn Slaves.
The mobility of the Thorn Slave cavalry is extremely good, and Blackwater City is close to the Black Forest, the terrain is complex, in order to facilitate transportation, the traffic is extensive, and it is definitely not possible to do it in a short time if you want to destroy the cavalry that is divided into parts in a short time.
Judging from the current situation, it will take some time for the three barracks to rush to the aid of Blackwater City, ranging from ten days and a half to several months.
Zhao Yuan guessed that after the Thorn Slave Cavalry who sneaked into the Nine Bend Barracks wreaked havoc, they should have evacuated long ago, after all, the Nine Bend Barracks was just a barracks, it was not like Blackwater City that could be defended, and the biggest advantage of the Thorn Slave Cavalry was mobility, and their number was not enough to occupy the huge barracks in Nine Bends......
......
No way
At this time, there was no point in going to the Nine Bends Barracks.
A hundred people, although they are good, but there are no heavy weapons, no backup, no supplies, no war horses, if they rush to the Nine Bends area, they will not be able to play a fundamental role, in case of a short encounter with the Thorn Slave cavalry with the determination to fight against the water, it will only be sent to death.
Zhao Yuan stopped the convoy, and everyone gathered to discuss.
"It doesn't make sense for us to rush to Nine Bends now. Zhao Yuan said his thoughts.
"Then where are we going? Why don't we go directly to Blackwater City to help?" Land Wind Road.
"Yes, we can go directly to Blackwater City to help. Yang Cheng immediately agreed, after all, he was a border guard in Blackwater City.
"Well, it's better to rush to Blackwater City than to rush to the Nine Bends Barracks...... But...... I always feel that something is wrong there......" Zhao Yuan frowned.
"Zhao Yuan, I know what you feel wrong about you. The mad priest touched his beard and looked resourceful.
"Huh?"
"If things are as you say, then the Assassins will arrange a large number of Rangers to guard the main road to Blackwater City, their horses are extremely fast, galloping, and they are good at riding and shooting, it is probably a bit difficult for us to avoid those Rangers unknowingly......"
"How many Rangers are the Troopers of the Assassins?" Zhao Yuan asked.
"Usually thirty people, thirty people, at least five longbowmen, they are good at long-range sniping. In addition to the five longbowmen, most will also arrange a martial witch, who is responsible for reconnaissance and melee combat to avoid falling into a siege, and as for the rest, they are all proficient in the art of mounted archery, and can fire arrows with horned bows. When we patrol outside Blackwater City, we will be equipped with giant shields, leather armor and crossbows, and a patrol team must have at least two warriors to follow...... "Yang Cheng has been stationed at the border for a long time, and he is extremely familiar with the tactics of the Assassins.
"Thirty ......"
Zhao Yuan smiled bitterly, if the Assassin Slaves were divided into groups of thirty, then, on the main road to Blackwater City, the rangers in groups of thirty would have at least more than fifty, and it would be impossible for them to rush to Blackwater City without knowing that they were not having war horses.
Now, everyone has arrows, armor, and giant shields, but there are no war horses.
A soldier without a horse is a tiger without teeth.
Although these hundred people are all elites in Blackwater City, if they want to face the fierce Thorn Slave cavalry on foot, even if they win, they will have to pay a great price, and the gains outweigh the losses.
It is conceivable that after the thirty-man rangers met them, they first sniped at a distance by longbowmen, and then, after dozens of people approached, there was a burst of horned bows scattered, and the stormy iron hoof charge followed, and the hundred-man squad was estimated to collapse at the touch of a button......
Zhao Yuan once went deep into the prairie, although he did not see the war of the Assassins, but he saw with his own eyes that the Assassin Slaves' art of arrows is extremely popular, almost everyone is a master of riding and archery, although their skills of arrows are not the real art of arrows, but their archery skills are also extremely difficult.
Theoretically, Zhao Yuan's archery skills can easily shoot thirty people, but that is only a theoretical existence, because those thirty people are rangers, their position will keep moving, they will encounter a strong enemy, they will immediately flee away, and will not entangle, Zhao Yuan is impossible to pursue thirty stabbing slaves on horseback in all directions.
In addition, the other students could not reach Zhao Yuan's speed, if Zhao Yuan chased the Assassin Slave Rangers, then, it was bound to be separated from the students, and the students would be exposed to the sharp arrows of the Rangers, after all, the Rangers were not only one......
After thinking about it, everyone couldn't come up with a complete solution.
It would be nice to get some spin slave horses......
Thorn Slave Horse
Thorn Slave Horse
Suddenly, a crazy thought grew and spread uncontrollably in Zhao Yuan's brain, like a vine after the rain.
Fight in enemy rear
"Since the Assassins can cross the Black Forest and enter the hinterland of Blackwater City, then we can also cross the Black Forest and enter the savannah. Zhao Yuan suppressed the excitement in his heart and said word by word.
There was a moment of silence.
Suffocating silence.
The faces of the elite students were endlessly fanatical, and everyone was excited by Zhao Yuan's crazy thoughts.
"We don't have a war horse...... Yang Cheng calmed down first.
"We can rob the good horses of the steppe, as many as the stars in the sky. The mad Taoist priest was excited and his face turned red, and his eyes shot a palpitating light.
"We don't have food, and we ...... supplies," Yang Cheng hesitated.
"We can grab it" This time, it was Lu Feng who spoke.
"But ......"
"Yes, we don't have horses, we don't have food, we don't have supplies, and we don't even have backup, but what are we worried about? There are no horses, and there are many good horses among the herdsmen, and their horses are born to be war horses. We don't have food, on the grassland, will we be short of food? Herds of cattle and sheep, let us slaughter as for reinforcements, well, that's a problem, but is this really a problem? We don't have a goal, we burn and loot on the grassland, we don't need reinforcements at all, it's better without reinforcements, we don't have to worry about the future......"
"Yes, we don't have any worries, we don't have anything to worry about, it's a big deal that the blood stains the yellow sand, and the horse leather shroud" Yang Cheng gritted his teeth and said viciously.
"No, we don't need a horse leather shroud"
"......" Everyone was stunned.
"The military song should sing the big sword ring, and swear to destroy the stabbing slaves out of the border pass. Only solve the battlefield and die for the country, why do you need to return the horse leather shroud" Zhao Yuan climbed onto the roof of the canopy, summoned out the black-backed long knife, and sang loudly.
"Yes, why do you need to return the Horse Leather Shroud"
"Why do you need to return the Horse Leather Shroud"
"Why do you need to return the Horse Leather Shroud"
......
