I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 59, greed

Ke Zui grabbed an unowned horse and raised his knife and shouted: "If you don't want to die, come with me!"

After speaking, he fled towards the rear.

The horse bandits around seemed to have found half of the backbone, and they couldn't care about money anymore, so they all ran behind Ke Zui.

But at this time, Xu Wei asked Wang Yong to lead the cavalry to attack and hunt down the fleeing horse bandits. Most of these horse bandits lost their horses, and their two legs could not run away from the recharged cavalry team. Except for a small number of escaped Most of them died under Wang Yong's saber, while the rest raised their hands and surrendered when they saw that there was no hope of escape.

After seeing the end of their companions, the rest of the horse bandits lost all morale, and Huoshaoyun and other leaders had no choice but to withdraw their troops.

After one battle, Xu Wei wiped out 5000 enemies, while only a few of his own were injured. It can be said that he won a complete victory. After seeing the horse bandits retreating, Xu Wei also called for money to withdraw his troops, cleaned the battlefield, and prepared to fight again in the future.

Shan Wu, the county magistrate's mansion!

Dozens of horse bandit leaders gathered here. Their defeat in the first battle made their morale low and they were extremely depressed. If they were defeated head-on, they would not be so depressed, but Lei Gonghao used inhumane means to win them. To make them unhappy, what kind of real skill is Lei Gong!

Among them, Ke Zui, who suffered the most, was drinking non-stop.

You must know that he was the leader of the Xianbei tribe, and he brought 3000 people here to make a fortune, but now only a few hundred of his men have come back alive. Maybe his tribe will be annexed by other big tribes after returning. How can this not make him angry and frightened, he is now standing on the verge of death.

None of the bandit leaders spoke, and Huo Shaoyun had no choice but to stand up in such a depressing scene, because he was the one who proposed to break away from the Huns and work alone.

He himself has more than 3000 subordinates. Because of his strength, he does not want to be the younger brother of the Huns, and he did not expect that there are so many horse bandits in the whole north. Relying on these horse bandits to achieve their own hegemony, this is why everyone is fooled into doing it alone.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. Lei Gong used tricks to win us. It is not a real skill. We have not lost much, and we can still fight Lei Gong!" Naturally, the one with the biggest fist is the boss. After Ke Zui, who was capable of threatening Huoshaoyun's status, disappeared, he became a bit of a "martial arts leader".

"Master Huoshaoyun is right. Lei Gong's scheme can only be used once, and we will not be fooled next time!"

But even though Huo Shaoyun boosted morale in this way, only a few small horse bandit leaders echoed, and the others were not fooled at all. Even after seeing the combat effectiveness of the Leigong Ministry, they secretly said in surprise: "It is worthy of being able to fight against the Youzhou frontier army. Really elite!"

These horse bandits fought the most with the frontier army. Naturally, they knew that the tyranny of the frontier army was not comparable to that of a mob like them. After such a comparison, and seeing the combat effectiveness of the Leigong Department today, they realized that they were not Leigong's opponent at all. .

The clown was himself!

Seeing that everyone wanted to run away, Huo Shaoyun continued: "Today, Lei Gong threw away hundreds of millions of treasures in order to defeat us. Everyone has seen this, so tell me how much treasure there will be in Lei Gong's camp? How much treasure will there be in Mayi?"

"It's more than tens of billions. It's more than enough money for us to make a fortune. We haven't encountered one such fat sheep in thousands of years. Everyone really wants to give up like this!"

"Tens of billions!" The leader breathed heavily again. If Lei Gong was rich before, they were just rumors, but today they have seen how rich Lei Gong is, and they actually threw hundreds of millions of money for a battle It is said that Lei Gong has tens of billions of treasures, they have to believe it!

And what Huoshaoyun said was right, such a big fat sheep had never been seen before, and if this opportunity was lost, they would never meet again in the future.

So the eyes of these horse bandit leaders became firm again.

Only the lone wolf was slightly awake, and he asked: "The Leigong Ministry's crossbow arrows are powerful. They shoot tens of thousands of arrows at a time, like a torrential rain, and there are more arrows than the Han army. If there is no way to deal with the Leigong Ministry's crossbow arrow array, we will die." It is impossible to rush in front of Lei Gong even if it is light."

Arrows in this era are not cheap. They cost about 20 plants, which is equivalent to two buckets of rice. Even the regular army does not have too many arrows. Everyone usually shoots a few long arrows and then draws their swords to kill people.

The Lei Gong Department shot more than 20 arrows in one battle, which is equivalent to consuming 2 shi of grain and killing people with money. This is the first time Huoshaoyun and the others have encountered it, but they have to admit the power of Xu Weiyu's arrows. You can really wipe them out on the way to attack!

Even if these horse bandit leaders, even now thinking of the long arrows roaring on the battlefield, the arrows are so dense that they have nowhere to hide.

A wave can kill half of their companions, and the eyes of the horse thieves who died under the crossbow arrows still make them feel lingering fear. This is simply the arrival of death.

Ke Zui, who had been silent all this time, said, "What's so difficult about this? Just bring a shield on the horse. The crossbow arrows 100 steps away are not very lethal at all. A leather shield can resist it. As long as we dodge a wave Crossbow arrows, the time for them to be wound is long enough for us to rush to the front of Lei Gong’s phalanx, and then as long as we break through Lei Gong’s army formation, the crossbowmen inside will only become the souls of our sabers!”

These horse bandits usually only deal with caravans, and they are only small patrols when fighting the Han army. They have no experience in fighting against large armies, but Ke is the most different. The [-] Han army has fought, and they also have experience in dealing with the Han army's crossbows.

"If you want to deal with Lei Gong, I am willing to be the vanguard. My only request is that all the captured Lei Gong will be handed over to me, and I will also pay [-]% of the property!"

This is the only way Ke can think of to save himself. Without his troops, he will die if he returns to the grassland. If he defeats Xu Wei with the help of these horse bandits, he can quickly recover his strength with the property and captives.

But Huo Shaoyun smiled slightly and said, "You can hand over the captives of Lei Gong's Ministry to you, but if you really want [-]% of the property, I'm afraid you won't be able to take it back with your life!"

Ke valued the horse bandit leaders around him the most. Although his more than 100 subordinates were more powerful than ordinary horse bandits, they were relatively weak in this horse bandit alliance.

He gritted his teeth and said, "You don't need money, but I have horses, cattle, sheep and food."

As long as there are enough supplies on the grassland, it is very simple to recruit thousands of people.
