Zhiyuan also nodded, and then asked Hua Tuo for his friend's information.Hua Tuo smiled: "It's not far away. We're going north now to Yuyang County. After passing Yuyang County, we go north to Youbeiping County."

"I came here decades ago, so I'll just show you the way." Hua Tuo seemed to still remember the way, and he felt quite confident.

Zhiyuan said that it is natural, anyway, she is escorting Hua Tuo and treating his illness by the way.Of course, after Hua Tuo visited his friends, Zhi Yuan planned to let Hua Tuo go to Pingyuan, so naturally he would not let Hua Tuo run away by himself now.

To be honest, after drinking Hua Tuo's medicine, Zhiyuan felt that her strength seemed to be much stronger.And I always feel hot all over my body, just like taking cold medicine with fever.

But just after a group of people entered Yuyang County, they were stopped by some big men's soldiers.After learning that he was going to visit friends in Youbeiping, the soldier said that it is best not to go there now.

"A few years ago, Zhang Chun from Yuyang seduced Qiu Liju, a foreigner from Wuhuan, to rebel and captured Youbeiping."

"Later, the governor, Gongsun Zan, defeated Qiu Liju and took back Youbeiping, and was promoted by the imperial court to be a general of Zhonglang and named Dutinghou. He managed some affairs on Youbeiping's side, and guarded against the Wuhuan army in the north."

"But not long ago, Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju actually led thousands of people to invade You Beiping. So now there is a scuffle over there again, I advise you not to go there yet."

Zhiyuan frowned. To be honest, this kind of thing didn't seem to be mentioned much in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.After all, there are not many people who can read Romance of the Three Kingdoms...

However, Gongsun Zan had indeed been fighting against foreign races all the time, which Zhi Yuan admired.

Well, this matter is nothing to Zhiyuan, but it is different to Hua Tuo.He was going to visit friends in Youbeiping, and he would be very sad if his friend died in the war.

So Hua Tuo immediately asked Zhiyuan for help, asking if he could go to Youbeiping immediately.

Zhiyuan hesitated a little, because if the other party was Wuhuan rebelling, he should indeed face it with caution.

Because of the current nomads, almost everyone can ride a horse.Although it is said that there are no such things as double stirrups and horseshoes, it does not mean that those people cannot fight on horses.

Zhiyuan has only [-] cavalry here, how can I say that their cavalry is still far behind that of the northern side.Even though these people are all elites, Zhiyuan dare not take risks.

So it was necessary to get something that could protect itself. After Zhi Yuan hesitated for a while, she called several generals to her side. "Yuanhua, where is Yuyang City?" Zhiyuan asked first.

Hua Tuo thought for a while: "It's not far away, about fifty miles north from here."

Zhiyuan nodded: "We must make some preparations. After all, You Beiping is at war. If we go there recklessly, we may be in great danger."

"So we have to be prepared. First, we need to buy more arrows. Then we need to get more carriages and long guns..."

Now Zhi Yuan's subordinates only have a long spear and a long knife as their melee weapons.Once you encounter an army of nomads with more numbers than yourself, the weapons are not necessarily enough.

Therefore, the kite was also a bit of a waste of money, and it was directly produced according to the configuration of Datang later.At least one soldier should have two or three polearms and two melee weapons.Then the bows and crossbows must also be equipped, and even some armor must be prepared.

Let's stop with the last one, let's forget about the armor.This thing fought the Yellow Turban Army for more than a year, and it didn't even have fifty pairs of complete armor.And most of them were leather armor, and only Zhi Yuan and his brother had the iron armor and chain mail, and it was a gift from Yuan Shu.

There are too few of these things, so don't think about it... The first thing is to get weapons first.And they are getting some carriages, and some wood is pulled on the carriages for defense.

Yes, one of the ways that Zhiyuan thought of was to form a chariot formation and use the chariots to defend against the cavalry.This is the best way for infantry to defend against cavalry.

Although Zhiyuan's subordinates are all cavalry now, most of them are better at riding horses.If you encounter the army of those nomads, your riding skills may be completely inferior to the opponent.

Several subordinates have no objection. After all, there has never been a cavalry hedging battle against the Yellow Turban Army. They always use the speed of the cavalry to crush the infantry.They have no experience in cavalry hedging, which is indeed very dangerous.

Hua Tuo can also understand, after all, the other party doesn't want to die either.So the group started to go to Yuyang City, and started to prepare some tools that could resist the cavalry.

In less than one afternoon, a group of people arrived at Yuyang City.People here are panicking now, and many people seem to be packing their bags and preparing to flee to the west.

Speaking of which, the civilians here are also pitiful. Not far to the south is the area where the Yellow Turban Army used to be, and now there are thieves everywhere.To the north are some nomads, still fighting every day.

In this Youzhou, there is only a small place where one can truly live without any danger.

Several people met a caravan at the door, and this caravan can have more than 3000 people.Among them, there are almost 2000 guards, and there are more than [-] remaining personnel.And looking at the direction of this team, it seems to be heading for You Beiping.

Zhiyuan glanced at it, and saw that most of the goods on the cart were food, and there were also quite a few weapons.The long spears are all new, neatly made of tendon wood, nearly three meters long.

"This spear is really good." Zhiyuan praised, and then asked the business leader to get up.

A team that can lead thousands of people is a big business after all, and coupled with the direction they are going, Zhiyuan can't help but want to go over and ask if they are on the way.

The merchant leader didn't want to look like a merchant in the Central Plains, but a middle-aged man with a long knife on his waist who looked about 30 years old.

The man cupped his hands towards the kite: "Seeing that the girl has such a good staff, I'm afraid she is not an ordinary person. What should I do for the Jia people (businessmen), please be polite here!"

Chapter 110 Three: Team up and set off

To be more precise, this person's name is Le Yan Le He Dang.

Le Hedang said to Zhiyuan: "A few years ago, Brother Bogui sworn brothers with some of my good friends, and the relationship is actually very good."

"So now, Brother Bogui is fighting against the barbarians in Youbeiping. As a younger brother, he will naturally go to help. The two sides have been fighting for several months, and there are not many food, grass and weapons at present. I have to transport some over there."

Zhiyuan was overjoyed, this is really great.Zheng worried that he didn't know how to enter the war zone, wouldn't it be very convenient to be with Le Hedang now.

Although the target is a bit bigger, if you go by yourself, you will not be able to meet a large number of enemies.The danger is not necessarily less than going with them, so Zhiyuan quickly made a wise choice.

Join the opponent and buy a long gun from the opponent.Zhiyuan took out a spear, and with a flick of her right hand, the spear trembled with Zhiyuan's arm. "It's a good thing, although I don't know how to use a gun."

Le Hedang had a surprised expression: "The girl has great strength. I have seen Bo Gui play it before, and it is almost like this."

"Haha, it's useless, I don't know how to use this kind of thing." Zhiyuan smiled.

Then Le Hedang thought about it, and then pulled down some javelin-like objects with a length of nearly one meter and a spear point in the front from another cart.

"Girls can try this kind of spear throwing, as long as they have a lot of strength. And if you throw it before the cavalry charge, you can definitely hit the enemy."

Zhiyuan nodded, and then took one with her hand.She looked at a big tree not far away that was more than 20 meters away from her, then made a guess and threw it out with her hands.

The javelin flew out less than half a meter away from the big tree, and the kite frowned...then took out another one.This time, it stabbed directly at the side of the big tree, and brought out a large piece of bark.

The kite was able to achieve a complete hit for the third time, and the sharp point of the spear pierced into the opponent's big tree about three or four inches, which aroused cheers from the nearby soldiers and Xiangyong.

"This thing is good, how many more...sell us some. Starting today, all the subordinates will start training this thing, at least to ensure that it hits the target at a distance of more than 20 meters." Zhiyuan smiled very satisfied.

This thing is on the horse, and with the impact of the horse, it must be very powerful.In the future, it will also be regarded as a sharp weapon in field battles. Whether it is against cavalry or infantry, it can cause a large number of casualties to the opponent before the two sides come into contact.

The two sides quickly reached a consensus that there was nothing else but a lot of money and paper kites.So basically Zhiyuan and her men had six more javelins on their horses.

After reorganization, Zhiyuan led people to follow behind the caravan, and the group began to march towards You Beiping.

Although the main battlefield is in Youbeiping, it doesn't mean that Wuhuan's troops just come here to plunder.After all, it is said that the fight has been going on for several months, and those people who have nothing to eat will definitely go east or west to rob.

So not long after Le Hedang left Yuyang City, he ordered his men to patrol nearby.There are a lot of horses here, so Le Hedang's subordinates naturally have everyone with horses.

Pei Yuanshao and Zhang Baiqi also led soldiers to patrol nearby, and the group headed east as fast as possible.

During the Han Dynasty, the location of Youbeiping was almost the line of Tangshan and Chengde in later generations, which can be regarded as a relatively long and narrow area.Further to the east are Liaoxi and Liaodong counties, and the farthest place is Lelang county.

Zhi Yuan suddenly asked, "Who is the governor of Youzhou now? Why doesn't anyone help Gongsun Zan?"

Le Hedang shook his head: "Now there is no governor in Youzhou, the former governor Guo Xun died of illness the year before last, and the new governor Tao Qian was transferred by Huangfusong not long ago because of Beigong Boyu's rebellion in Sanfu left Youzhou."

"So there is no governor in Youzhou now. I heard that the emperor intends to make Liu Yu the governor of Youzhou, but he has not made a decision."

After all, he is on good terms with Gongsun Zan, so many things that happened in the court can be somewhat understood through Gongsun Zan.In the current situation, it is estimated that Youzhou is Gongsun Zan, who is considered to be a relatively high-ranking official.

There were also many fleeing civilians nearby, and Zhi Yuan grabbed one of them and asked about the current situation in You Beiping.It is said that Guangcheng has been captured by Qiu Liju, and a lot of people have been plundered there.

But because of Gongsun Zan's reasons, Qiu Liju has no way to bring those people back, and the two sides are currently at a stalemate. (Below the right, there are counties such as Pinggang, Wuzhong, Junmi, Xuwu, Xiyang, Changcheng, Guangcheng, and Tuyin.)

It is said that tens of thousands of civilian deaths have been caused. At present, Gongsun Zan still has the advantage, but he will definitely not be able to end the battle in a short time.

"What about Youbeiping City?" Hua Tuo asked.

The man replied: "Youbeiping City was captured once a few years ago, and the city walls were rebuilt and strengthened after that, so these thieves did not capture it this time."

Hua Tuo said he was relieved, at least if he was not captured, it meant that his friend should be fine.In this case, Hua Tuo looked towards Zhiyuan, whether to go to Youbeiping City first or to that Guangcheng City.

Zhiyuan thought for a while, "Go to Guangcheng and help Gongsun Zan. He who is still resisting foreign enemies in this day and age is considered a hero no matter what."

"Well, Zhiyuan is becoming more and more Holy Mother. Gongsun Zan's war with foreign races really has nothing to do with Zhiyuan now. But Zhiyuan is a person of later generations after all, and she is quite resistant to the future invasion of the Central Plains by some foreign tribes." .”

"So I'm here now, and I don't know if I can help Gongsun Zan, but...it's always good to try. At worst, you'll just run away."

After all, the saying that those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away is quite effective in this era.Zhiyuan and Na Lehe should discuss it, so they might as well go directly to Guangcheng.

Judging from this situation, Gongsun Zan should be in the wild, while Qiu Liju is in the city.So it should be relatively safe in the wild. After discussing it, they rushed to Guangcheng as quickly as possible.

It wasn't too far away, although the ancient roads were indeed difficult to walk, they had already arrived near Guangcheng in three or four days.At noon that day, a cavalry scout reported that hundreds of corpses were found not far away.

Zhiyuan immediately rode over to check, and found that the hundreds of corpses were all civilians.And most of them are men, and a small number of women...

There was no piece of clothing on the woman's body, and there was still a lot of cloudy liquid somewhere, obviously she was killed after being insulted.What made Zhiyuan feel disgusted was that the flesh of the woman's thighs and many parts of her body had been cut away.

"It's disgusting, to actually eat people..." Zhi Yuan complained.

On the contrary, Pei Yuanshao and Zhang Baiqi seem to have gotten used to it. Last year when the Yellow Turban Army rebelled, the bodies of such women were already wasted, and most innocent women were eaten alive.

This is the case with wars, and the worst are always the lowest class civilians.

Chapter 110: Wuhuan Cavalry

The women were dead, it seemed that they had recently died.Zhiyuan looked into the distance, and seemed to be able to vaguely see the dust brought up by a lot of cavalry in the distance.

Zhiyuan touched her waist directly, Zhiyuan's clothes have always been similar to men's clothes after going out, it can be said to be a bit like Hufu.

The kite was slightly modified according to the clothes of this era, which is convenient for combat.At that time, Zhao Guo learned from the Hu people, and made the Hu clothes, riding and shooting.If she really wore women's clothes, Zhi Yuan would really have to go to the harem to play.

So inside the clothes, Zhiyuan also made two close-fitting pockets.Now she pulled out the one-way telescope from a pocket.

"About [-] hundred cavalry, but they are leaving us. They should not be Gongsun Zan's subordinates, after all, Gongsun Zan probably wouldn't be able to do such a thing." Zhi Yuan bit her lip, and ordered her to go back immediately.

And after going back, Zhiyuan sent a lot of cavalry under her again, the purpose is to expand the range of alert.Now that the Wuhuan people have been discovered, it is estimated that the place where Gongsun Zan and Qiu Liju fought is not far away.

About two hours later, just in the afternoon, after a group of people ate some dry biscuits hastily, a cavalry came back and reported that a Wuhuan team of nearly 3000 people was approaching them.

"Get ready to fight!" Zhiyuan said to Le Hedang.

Although there were almost 2000 people in Le Hedang, less than half of them were able to fight, and with the 500 people including Zhi Yuan, they were only half of the opponent.

Although the Han army in this era is very strong, Le Hedang is there to escort the goods. Since it can defend and reduce casualties, it is impossible to hedge against the opponent to die.

Although Le Hedang was a bit young, he was still much older than Zhiyuan, and he seemed to have good experience in fighting.So soon he ordered his subordinates to immediately surround the carriages into a large circle, and then ordered his coachmen to manage all the horses in a unified way so that they would not run around.

Then he opened a hole to let Zhiyuan's people in, and sent out more than 50 people in a row. Those people wanted to spread out and see if they could find the Han army.

Zhiyuan brought her people to a relatively wide area, and managed all the horses together. "After a while, everyone is hiding behind the carriage. There is either food or weapons in the carriage, which can effectively prevent the enemy's bows and arrows."

"Our car formation has been completed. The opponent has less than 3000 people. It is estimated that no one dares to attack by force. At most, we can shoot a few arrows to see the situation. However, it is not ruled out that the opponent also has other troops, so we must try our best to avoid casualties in the arrow rain."

"Everyone, take down some wooden boards I collected in front of me and use them as shields on my head. Pay attention after a while, if an enemy approaches, let's use that javelin to hit the opposite side."

Zhiyuan suddenly thought of this, and smiled... The other party probably wouldn't have thought of this either.So a group of people began to prepare, and about ten minutes later, the Wuhuan cavalry team arrived not far from the chariot formation.

Those teams were cruising around the car formation, and seemed to be planning to try it out.Soon after turning a corner not far from the car formation, he began to accelerate towards the convoy.

Zhiyuan also took a thick wooden board. After all, there are so many arrows, Zhiyuan doesn't want to be accidentally injured.Hmm.... Even Zhiyuan got a helmet from somewhere and put it on her head.

Don't look at her asking Tiger Girl to do everything, but in fact Zhiyuan is very life-saving.Soon at about 70 meters, after those turns, the enemies directly bent their bows and set arrows.

"Hidden!" Le Hedang shouted.

The group of people like Zhiyuan clung to the carriage tightly, and then covered their heads with their hands on the wooden board.

Those Wuhuan people were all projectiles on horseback, which didn't require any precision at all.The position of 70 meters is almost immediately, and the maximum range of the bow does not need to be drawn with too much force.

With a sound of "buzz", Zhiyuan heard countless sharp piercing sounds coming from the sky.Then bang, bang, bang... just near the carriage not far from Zhiyuan, most of them were nailed to the side of the carriage as if it was raining.

The protection of the people here is still very good, even if so many arrows rain down, there are only a dozen people in their hands.And after the opponent's first round of throwing, Le Hedang directly ordered his subordinates to return a round.

After all, the opponent can only advance at a certain speed, and a sudden change of speed in a cavalry team will cause accidents.But the projectiles on the side of the car formation need to be shot in advance to hit the opponent, so after a round of bows and arrows, only a few people from the opponent will be shot.

The exchange ratio is about the same, but after all, Chezheng suffers from a fixed goal.Although there is a carriage carrying it, if the opponent is strong enough, he can still hit the servant on the other side.

Well... mainly because after a few rounds of testing, the Wuhuan cavalry began to get closer, from the original 70 meters to 50 meters.In this way, their arrows can cover the entire vehicle formation.

If the person on the other side is not careful, he will be shot by the arrow.Several of Zhiyuan's subordinates have already been shot by arrows. Although it is not fatal, it will definitely happen sooner or later as time goes by.

Le Hedang on the side suddenly found Zhiyuan, and said to Zhiyuan: "The distance from the opponent is about 40 meters. I remember that you seem to have brought a lot of crossbows. Those things are very effective at close range. How about giving the opponent a round soon?"

Zhiyuan nodded. To be honest, she was looking forward to a round of javelins.But the opponent is still too far away. It is not easy for the javelin to throw 20 meters, but 40 meters is really difficult.

Don't look at the 80-[-] meters in the modern Olympic Games, you must know that it can run up.Now in this kind of place, if you have a chance to run up, if you throw on the spot, how much strength can you use your arms.

If you are riding a horse, with the help of the horse's strength... the kite is estimated to be close to about [-] meters.In that case, it is indeed much more lethal than bows and arrows, and it is very deterrent.

But it doesn't work now... Zhiyuan has tried it himself. If he throws it with his right hand, he can barely reach about 40 meters.After all, the javelin can be thrown farther than ordinary stones, and it is very inertial.

So they can only use crossbows, and Zhiyuan's subordinates have almost one of them.Because bows and arrows need to be learned, but crossbows don't.

"Get ready, get close to the carriage. When the cavalry come around for a while, as long as they shoot arrows, we will fight back from the gap in the carriage."

"Don't worry, aim at the people at the front of their team first. Because they have run for several laps, the formation of those Wuhuan cavalry has been stretched a bit."
