It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 860

It couldn't even be called a battle, but an extremely simple clean-up operation. Under the leadership of Guan Yu, five hundred cavalry from Liangzhou rammed the Rong soldiers. Break through from the middle, then disperse in all directions, and chase down the fleeing Rong tribe with a small force.

The unparalleled equestrian skills of the Rong tribe and the elusive archery are of no use at all. All that awaits them is death, death, death incessantly.

The battle came and went quickly, and after a short time, the Rong tribe was defeated. The Liangzhou cavalry began to sweep the battlefield, scavenging the dry food on the corpses, bringing back the unowned horses, and collecting quivers.

Zhang Mang looked at this scene, he was insightful after all. Seeing that these people do things with clean hands and feet, everyone performs their own duties, fast and not chaotic, but it can save physical strength to the greatest extent.

This made Zhang Mang understand that this team is not only amazing in combat effectiveness. There is also a clear division of labor inside. If it weren't for day-to-day training, it would never have reached this level.

He stood there with only one sigh in his heart: As expected of a bandit, he was quick to grab something.

Guan Yuquan came to Zhang Mang and looked at him coldly.

Zhang Mang hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "Jizhou Zhangmang, thank you General Guan for your rescue."

"We want to do something, and now is the time to hire people. Are you willing to listen to me?"

"This..." Zhang Mang hesitated for a moment, of course he admired Guan Yu's martial arts. But to do things with Guan Yu is equivalent to taking refuge in Cheng Dalei of Liangzhou and betraying his original master.

The word betrayal always makes people uncomfortable.

Seeing Zhang Mang's hesitant expression, Guan Yu left and turned his horse's head, gathered the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield, and planned to leave.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Mang was completely stunned. Betrayal is of course uncomfortable, but if you don't take refuge in Guan Yu, you are likely to die in this land. Compared to death, discomfort is nothing. So he is not unwilling, just a little reserved. As long as Guan Yu flicked a few words, he was ready to swear allegiance.

Unexpectedly, Guan Yu didn't have any idea of ​​rubbish with him at all, so he turned around and left.

"General Guan, General Guan..." Zhang Mang put a smile on his face: "Is everything good for negotiation?"

Zhang Mang led more than 100 people to join the team. Liu Bei led people to clean and bandage the wounds of the wounded soldiers. In such a situation, Liu Bei's personal martial arts are actually not worth mentioning, and the only thing that can be used is his medical skills.

Everyone must leave quickly, and their whereabouts have now been leaked. If the Rong clan who fled just now, led the brigade over, it would be easy for everyone to fall into the siege of 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 chased by the Rong tribe. Guan Yu led the army to defeat the Rong tribe and recruited troops, and the team expanded little by little.

Zhang Mang has been fighting with the army all the time. He can become a general of the army, but his martial arts are actually decent. In the beginning, the team he led did not dare to directly contact the Rong tribe, and could only do some work of spying on the outside. But gradually, Zhang Mang realized that something had changed. The soldiers under him boldly began to pursue the fleeing Rong tribe, and the casualties were getting smaller and smaller. Slowly, he dared to charge against the Rong clan. Later, they were able to join the five hundred horsemen in Liangzhou, and when they saw the Rong tribe, they shouted and shouted, as if they saw a big girl without clothes.

They have almost forgotten that once on this battlefield, the Rong tribe was the real master. When Kuo Wang mentioned the word Rong, some people would shiver subconsciously.

The Rong tribe is indeed unparalleled in horsemanship and excellent in archery, but this is not the main factor that determines victory or defeat. The main reason remains morale. Where does morale come from? From one victory to another.

They are no longer weak to bully, and the Rong are not invincible.

This defeated soldier, who was once chased by the Rong clan to flee for his life, is building his own beliefs.

Three days later, Guan Yu's subordinates had gathered 2,000 people. These people are the Imperial Army who gathered together in three days. Under the command of Guan Yu, they fought against the small army of the Rong tribe, learning to fight in battle and learning to fight in death. In this way, the speed of growth is fast, and now everyone is exhausted, but there is an invincible will on their body.

However, there are also big difficulties in the big one. The food and grass for the two thousand people is the primary problem. The war is used to support the war, and the food and grass from the Rong tribe can no longer support such consumption. And once the team expands, the marching speed will naturally be slowed down, and it can no longer be as elusive as before.

Today, everyone is hiding in a mountain col, discussing the next step.

"Second brother, we are afraid that we have already been targeted by the Rong clan. If we go out to act, we will easily be targeted by the Rong clan. We can naturally escape, but we are afraid that these newly gathered brothers will not be able to withstand the attack of the Rong clan." Zhang Fat came over and said.

Guan Yu nodded: "In the next step, I can no longer act like before. Now that there are people under my command, it is time to do a few major things."

Zhang Fei's eyes lit up, Shan Xiongxin, Shi Wengong and others were also elated.

"Has the second brother already made plans?" Zhang Fei asked excitedly.

"No." Guan Yu replied neatly.

"Uh..." Zhang Fei and the others were speechless for a while.

In fact, Guan Yu is not convenient to do things now. Now, there are 2,000 people under his command, together with the original people from Liangzhou. This number is not much, not much. It is not enough to attack the Rong fortress, nor can it fight guerrilla warfare like before.

"Report." At this moment, a small school rushed over: "Report to General Guan, there is a team going up the mountain at the foot of the mountain, it is estimated that there are seven or eight hundred people."

"What's the origin, is it the Rong family?" Guan Yu was shocked. Everyone was invisible in the mountains and forests. If they collided with the Rong family, there was not much room for maneuvering here, and the encounter with the Rong family would be a bloody battle.

"It's not the Rong, it should be the Imperial Army."

"All on alert, ready to fight."

Guan Yu gave an order, since it is not a Rong family. However, knowing the person and the face but not the heart, in the face of a defeated imperial army, we still have to remain vigilant.

Ma Chao led the defeated soldiers and retreated all the way to this place. I originally planned to hide in the mountains for a few days to see how the situation changed. Unexpectedly, they collided with Guan Yu's group who were hiding on the mountain. The two sides were a hundred paces apart.

"Jingzhou Ma Mengqi, dare to ask your Excellency where is sacred and what is your name?" Ma Mengqi shouted from a distance across the grass.

Everyone doesn't recognize Ma Chao, and Ma Chao doesn't recognize everyone. They are known to each other and have never met. Everyone has heard about the name of Ma Chao and Ma Meng.

Before Guan Yu could answer, Zhang Fei took the first step and said, "We are from Liangzhou Cheng's family. You might as well follow us and do things for Cheng's family."

Ma Chao didn't listen to these words. Hearing that they were from Liangzhou, the three corpses suddenly jumped into a frenzy, and the five spirits took off.
