Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 266 Chaos

  Yu Fuluo smacked the leaves of the grass in his mouth, spit it out in a mouthful, and said, "It doesn't taste sweet at all! It's far from the grass of Wangting!"

  The guards on the side were about to say something, but they heard a sound of horseshoes, and more than 20 horses and horses came running from a distance...

  The personal guard looked closely, and immediately said: "It is Battelle who is back!"

  Like a whirlwind, Battelle rode his horse to the front without slowing down, just turned over and dismounted, and then trotted two steps to reduce the momentum, showing superb horse skills.

   "Battelle on behalf of each station!" Yu Fuluo laughed, stood up and hugged Battelle, and said, "Let's see what our charging warriors have gained!"

  Battelle smiled triumphantly and waved his hand. A Hun soldier untied several human heads from the neck of the horse, lifted them up, and placed them in front of Yu Fuluo. Battelle felt in his bosom, took out three military newspapers, and handed them to Ufulo...

  Yu Fuluo took the military newspaper, opened it, tilted his head, and tried to identify what was written inside.

Most of the Huns don’t know how to read, but Yu Fuluo is not bad. He used to be the Youxian King of the Southern Huns, and he learned some Chinese characters, but Battelle couldn’t read Chinese characters at all. I'm dizzy looking at it all over the place...

   "Shan Yu, what was written on it?" Battelle gave up completely, and asked Yu Fuluo.

"Hahaha!" Yu Fuluo laughed suddenly, pointing to the text on the military newspaper and said, "...do you know what the Han people said? Hahaha...that they finally defeated us after three days and three nights of hard work. Yes, and cut off more than a hundred of our heads..."

   "Ah?" Battelle couldn't help touching his neck when he heard the words, to check that his head was indeed growing on his neck, he couldn't help but said in doubt, "... none of us died, whose head did the Han people cut off?"

"Hmph!" Yu Fuluo snorted disdainfully, without answering the question, he fiddled with the heads on the ground and counted them, "Well, six, that's right, the messengers from Xin'an City are all here ...Tuozhite, give these heads to the person who came with us, and exchange each head for a piece of silver, do you understand?"

  Yu Fuluo also gestured with his hands, and Tuozhi nodded his head to express his understanding, and went away with the head in his hand.

   Not long after, Tuozhite came back with a few pieces of silver, and Yu Fuluo counted them. Seeing that the number was correct, he nodded and asked Tuozhite to put away the silver.

  Tuozhite took out another note and said, "That person asked me to bring it to Shanyu."

  Yu Fuluo took it, unfolded it, looked at it, frowned, and remained silent.

  Battelle looked at Yu Fuluo's expression and said, "Shanyu, what's wrong?"

  Yu Fuluo said: "The man asked us to meet a group of Han troops coming from the east tomorrow..."

   "Ah?" Battelle said, "Then... do the Han have cavalry?"

The cavalry of the Han Dynasty was not in vain against the cavalry of the Xiongnu, because the technological crushing in the iron-making process, especially the superiority difference in the armor made up for the difference in riding skills, and the frontal confrontation can often kill the barbarian crying father and mother...

  That's why Battelle asked if there were any cavalry.

   "Yes, 800 cavalry, and about 700 or 800 infantry... However, the man said that he can provide us with 500 sets of armor, and someone will send them to us in a while..."

"Five hundred sets of armour!" Battelle scratched his fingers and found that ten fingers could not count the number of five hundred. He said happily: "Isn't that a lot? Great! Then we don't have to be afraid of the Han Chinese cavalry Already!"

   "No, Battle," Yu Fuluo said, "support the plow, we are the descendants of China, we must not only be brave, but also wise..."

  ×××××××××××

  In order to arrive at Xin'an today, Guo Pu even set off an hour earlier.

  The Xiliang cavalrymen were rushing to tidy up their war horses, feeding them a few mouthfuls of roasted beans, and occasionally filling their mouths with some.

The infantry and auxiliary soldiers pack up the tents and supplies, and take away some iron hardware for building the camp. Although the wood can be cut down on the mountain, these iron pieces cannot be discarded at will, otherwise the next time they build There is nowhere to look for the camp.

  Last night itself was late, and today it was early again. The cavalry was a little better, but the infantry and auxiliary soldiers didn't rest well at all. They couldn't stop yawning while they were working.

   Ding ding dong dong was busy for a while, finally packed up, and the army set off on the journey again.

  Guo Pu sent scouts forward as usual, but he didn’t expect that one of the scouts escaped from the arrow shortly after he sent out, reporting intermittently that there were twenty or thirty Yellow Turban cavalrymen seven or eight miles away...

Guo Pu was surprised and delighted. Meeting the ranger of the Yellow Turban Thieves showed that this was at least a higher level than the one with a sickle and a hoe, but it also meant that there were Yellow Turban Thieves in front of him. Isn't it just to cut off the heads of some yellow turban thieves?

  Guo Pu hastily dispatched a group of cavalry from Xiliang to explore the way first, and drive away the twenty or thirty yellow turban rangers. According to Guo Pu's estimation, the Yellow Turban Bandits had at most this many cavalry, and it was not easy for a hundred men to deal with twenty or thirty soldiers.

Sure enough, not long after, the head of the team sent someone back to report that he had driven away more than 20 yellow scarf rangers and killed five of them. The rest had fled to Xin'an. Report it.

Guo Pu laughed, and ordered the whole army to speed up to catch up. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the rout of the yellow turbans had notified the thieves of the besieging city, but it was too late to take any defensive measures. The advantages of the Xiliang cavalry were brought into play.

   Two legs could not keep up with four legs. Guo Pu saw the infantry getting out of touch with the cavalry, and he was really impatient, so he ordered the infantry auxiliary soldiers to come later, and he led the cavalry to chase the Yellow Turban Army first...

  Eight hundred cavalry, can fight head-on against 2,000 regular infantry, let alone more than 1,000 yellow scarf thieves scattered around the city?

  As for the pawns, just slow down and clean up the battlefield. This will save you from having to share some money when discussing merits after the war...

The mountains and mist in the morning were still a bit chilly, but Guo Pu's whole body was boiling with enthusiasm. He pulled out the ring head knife, waved it in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Boys, kill the enemy today! After defeating the enemy, wine and meat Don't worry! Kill the general and capture the flag with a reward of 100 gold! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

   After shouting, he took the lead in clamping the horse's belly, and drove forward at a medium speed.

  The Xiliang cavalry behind them also echoed one after another, and followed behind Guo Pu...

   After three visits to the thatched cottage, Liu Bei held Zhuge Liang's hand tightly and was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he finally said to Guan Zhang with tears in his eyes: "Brothers, we won't lose one of three!
