The situation in front of us couldn't even be called a battle, it was just an extremely simple cleanup operation. Under the leadership of Guan Yu, Liangzhou's five hundred cavalry charged into the soldiers. They broke through from the middle and then dispersed, chasing and escaping with small groups of troops.
of the Rong tribe.
The Rong tribe's unparalleled riding skills and elusive archery skills are of no use at all. All that awaits them is death, death, non-stop death.
The battle came and went quickly, and after a short time, the Rong tribe was defeated. The Liangzhou cavalry began to clean the battlefield, plundering the corpses for dry food, bringing back the ownerless horses, and collecting quivers.
Zhang Mang looked at this scene. He was knowledgeable after all. He saw that these people were doing things with clean hands and feet. Everyone performed their duties quickly and without chaos, but they could save their energy to the greatest extent.
This made Zhang Mang understand that not only was this team's fighting ability amazing, but they also had a clear division of labor. If it wasn't for day-in and day-out training, they would never have been able to reach this level.
He stood there with only one emotion in his heart: He is indeed a bandit, he can grab things very quickly.
Guan Yuquanma came to Zhang Mang and looked at him coldly from the horse.
Zhang Mang quickly clasped his fists and saluted: "Jizhou Zhang Mang, thank you General Guan for the rescue."
"We want to do something. Now is the time to hire people. Are you willing to listen to my instructions?"
"This..." Zhang Mang hesitated for a moment. Of course he admired Guan Yu's martial arts. But following Guan Yu would be equivalent to joining Cheng Dalei in Liangzhou and betraying his original master.
The word betrayal always makes people uncomfortable.
Seeing Zhang Mang's hesitant expression, Guan Yu turned around and gathered the soldiers cleaning the battlefield together, planning to leave.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Mang was completely stunned. Of course betrayal makes people uncomfortable, but if he doesn't take refuge with Guan Yu, he will probably die in this land. Compared with death, discomfort is nothing. So it's not that he is unwilling
, just a little reserved. As long as Guan Yu fudges a few words, he is ready to swear allegiance.
Unexpectedly, Guan Yu had no intention of quarreling with him and turned around and left.
"General Guan, General Guan..." Zhang Mang said with a smile on his face: "Is everything easy to discuss?"
More than a hundred people led by Zhang Mang joined the team. Liu Bei led people to clean and bandage the wounds of the wounded soldiers. In this situation, Liu Bei's personal martial arts skills were not worth mentioning. The only one who could use them was him.
medical skills.
Everyone must leave quickly, as their whereabouts have been revealed now. If the Rong clan who escaped just now lured a large group of people over, everyone would easily be surrounded by the Rong clan.
Under the leadership of Guan Yu, everyone began to retreat and move. Along the way, they encountered several waves of imperial troops who were chased by the Rong tribe. Guan Yu led his army to defeat the Rong tribe, recruited people, and the team expanded little by little.
Zhang Mang has been fighting with the army. He can become a general of an army, but his martial arts are actually quite passable. At first, the team he led did not dare to have direct contact with the Rong people, and could only do peripheral spying and sentry work. But gradually, Zhang Mang,
Mang found that something had changed. His soldiers became bolder and began to chase the fleeing Rong tribe. The casualties were getting smaller and smaller. Gradually, they dared to charge against the Rong tribe. Later, they were able to fight with the Liang tribe.
Five hundred people from the state rode together, and when they saw the Rong tribe, they yelled and screamed, just like seeing a big girl without clothes.
They have almost forgotten that the Rong tribe was the real masters on this battlefield. When the word Rong tribe is mentioned, some people will tremble subconsciously.
It is true that the Rong tribe has unparalleled riding skills and superb archery skills, but this is not the main factor that determines victory or defeat. The most important reason is still morale. Where does morale come from? From victory after victory.
They are no longer weak to be bullied, and the Rong clan is not invincible.
This defeated soldier who was once chased by the Rong tribe and ran for his life is building his own faith.
Three days later, Guan Yu had gathered two thousand troops under his command. These people were all the imperial troops who had gathered within three days. Under Guan Yu's command, they fought against a small group of Rong troops, learning to fight in the battle, and dying in the process.
Learn to fight. In this way, the speed of growth is very fast. Now everyone is exhausted, but they reveal an invincible will.
However, being big also has big difficulties. Food and grass for two thousand people is the primary problem. Fighting to support war and plundering food and grass from the Rong people can no longer support such consumption. Once the team expands, the marching speed will naturally be slowed down.
He is no longer as elusive as he once was.
Today, everyone hid in a mountain col to discuss the next step.
"Second brother, we are afraid that we have been targeted by the Rong tribe. If we go out to take action, we will easily be targeted by the Rong tribe. We can naturally escape, but what we are afraid of is that these brothers who have just gathered here cannot withstand the attack of the Rong tribe." Zhang
Fatty came over and said.
Guan Yu nodded: "The next step is not to act as before. Now that we have manpower, it's time to do some big things."
Zhang Fei's eyes lit up, and Shan Xiongxin, Shi Wengong and others were also in high spirits.
"Second brother, does he have any plans?" Zhang Fei said excitedly.
"No." Guan Yu replied simply.
"Uh..." Zhang Fei and others were speechless for a while.
In fact, it is not convenient for Guan Yu to do things now. Together with the original people in Liangzhou, he has a total of two thousand people. This number is not too much, but it is not enough. It is not enough to attack the Rong tribe's fortress.
Nor can we engage in guerrilla warfare as mysteriously as before.
"Report." At this moment, a junior high school student rushed over: "Report to General Guan, there is a team going up the mountain. It is estimated that there are seven or eight hundred people."
"What's the origin? Is it the Rong tribe?" Guan Yu was shocked. Everyone was invisible in the mountains and forests. If they collided with the Rong tribe, there was not much room for maneuver here. If they ran into the Rong tribe, it would be a bloody battle.
"It's not the Rong clan, it should be the Imperial Army."
"Everyone is on alert and ready to fight."
Guan Yu issued the order. It would be good since he was not a Rong tribe. However, he knew his people but not his heart. Facing a defeated imperial army, he still had to remain vigilant.
Ma Chao led the remaining defeated troops and retreated all the way to this place. He originally planned to hide in the mountains for a few days to see how the situation changed. Unexpectedly, he collided with Guan Yu and his group who were hiding in the mountains. The two sides were a hundred steps apart, and they were at war with each other.
Refuse to relax.
"Ma Mengqi from Jingzhou, may I ask where you are and how you are called?" Ma Mengqi shouted from a distance across the grass.
Everyone does not recognize Ma Chao, and Ma Chao does not recognize everyone. They are only known to each other and have never met. Everyone has heard of Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi's names.
Before Guan Yu could answer, Zhang Fei took the lead and said, "We are members of the Cheng family in Liangzhou. Why don't you follow us and work for the Cheng family?"
Ma Chao didn't listen to this. When he heard that they were from Liangzhou, the three corpse gods jumped up and the five spirits soared into the sky.
