Chapter 475 Convergence

The grain transport team of a group of horse thieves was easily wiped out, and the location was close to the Mustang City.

The fireworks rising from the burning corpses undoubtedly caught the attention of patrols around Mustang City.

The sound of hooves approaching again made Luo Cheng and others, who were warming up by the fire, vigilant in their hearts.

One by one, they all grabbed the crossbow in their hands again.

Wait until the other person's figure appears in their field of vision.

Luo Cheng, who was holding the telescope, suddenly showed a look of joy on his face.

"It's General Liu Kai!"

The confirmation of their identity made everyone heave a sigh of relief.

Luo Cheng even loudly waved and greeted the friendly troops who were coming on horseback in the distance.

And after seeing the identity of Luo Cheng and others.

Liu Xinzhong, who led the team to confirm the situation, also relaxed.

Wei Wei raised his hand, and while waving at Luo Cheng, he also told the cavalry behind him to put down their arms.

After the two groups of people quickly contacted.

Liu Kai quickly got off his horse and clasped his fists at Luo Cheng.

"General Luo Cheng, I've been escorting grain and grass this time. It's hard work for you."

"The duty is, General Liu Kai is polite."

Just when the two greeted each other like this, the cavalry under Liu Kai suddenly exclaimed.

Luo Cheng subconsciously turned around to look, and then a flash of understanding flashed across his face.

Their rations were numerous.

There were as many as five hundred cavalry troops on the road ahead.

So you can imagine how long this team dragged on.

In this way, Hill's mammoths and Harold's ice bears are not close to the position of their vanguard.

The vanguard now stops.

The troops following behind will naturally approach slowly.

The cavalry in the steppe had not experienced the previous battle with the barbarian army.

So I don't know much about things in the Central Plains.

The mammoths and ice bear warriors that appeared later obviously surprised many people.

"General Luo Cheng, what are these?"

As Bai Ze's lieutenant, Liu Kai's performance was calm enough at this time, and he didn't make a fuss like the soldiers under his command.

"Oh, it's like this..."

While speaking, Luo Cheng quickly explained the identity of the mammoth and the ice bear warrior, as well as the ins and outs of the whole thing.

After listening to this, Liu Kai also showed a bit of sigh on his face.

"I didn't expect so many things to happen during my absence in the Central Plains."

After the two sighed for a while, the two teams quickly integrated into one team and rushed towards Mustang City.

Along the way, Liu Kai, who is familiar with the terrain, led the way, and it was naturally smooth.

Before sunset, the food delivery team arrived in Mustang City safely.

"Luo Cheng, the last general, I have seen the general!"

Inside the barracks in Mustang City, Luo Cheng bowed to Bai Ze.

Bai Ze raised his hand to help Luo Cheng up.

"General Luo Cheng doesn't need to be more polite. It's really hard for you to come here in the wind and snow this time."

After a simple greeting, Luo Cheng naturally reported the incident of being attacked by horse thieves on the road.

After Bai Ze heard this, his brows were also slightly wrinkled.

"These horse thieves are getting more and more unscrupulous!"

After saying a sentence, Bai Ze, who seemed to think of something again, asked again, "General Luo Cheng, do you remember the number of the horse thieves?"

"Not many, about a hundred people."

"More than a hundred people..."

Bai Ze pondered for a while in his heart, and then a trace of understanding appeared on his face.

"I know who it is."

"Which one?"

Luo Cheng raised his brows slightly when he heard this statement.

"How many horse thieves are there on this grassland?"

Facing this question, both Bai Ze and Liu Kai showed a wry smile on their faces.

"a lot of."

After Liu Kai said these two words, the wry smile on his face became even worse.

"On this grassland, there are countless large and small tribes, and many of them make a living by looting, which is the source of those horse thieves."

"After the winter, food was scarce and forced to make a living, these horse thieves began to harass our three grassland cities unscrupulously."

"They come and go like the wind. They don't confront us at all. They basically run away when they see us, so it's quite impossible to take them."

"Without help, we can only strengthen the patrols around the three cities."

"However, after we were prepared here, they turned their attention to the grain transport team."

"During this period of time, many horse thieves may not be able to survive any longer. Whenever there is a chance, they will stare at the grain transport route and want to hijack the grain sent by the grain transport team."

"I see."

After listening to Liu Kai's explanation, Luo Cheng nodded thoughtfully.

"No wonder the horse thieves came as soon as we entered the grassland area, and the co-authors were waiting for the rabbits?"

While speaking, Luo Cheng thought for a while, but his brows could not help but wrinkle.

"Now that the road is blocked by heavy snow, it is not easy to transport grain. If the grain transport route is temporarily changed, the efficiency may be lower. For today's plan, I am afraid that we can only strengthen the security."

"yes."

Hearing this, Liu Kai nodded in agreement.

But Bai Ze, who was sitting in the main seat, asked aloud as if he had thought of something...

"By the way, General Luo Cheng, you mentioned a long-range weapon called a hand crossbow before, can you show me?"

"The general is very polite, of course there is no problem."

Luo Cheng indifferently motioned to a soldier under his command to fetch a crossbow.

Take the hand crossbow that the soldier took.

Bai Ze looked up quickly.

Luo Cheng, who was sitting next to him, also gave a proper explanation.

"This crossbow is used to deal with horse thieves, and it is quite useful. The only regret is that it is too difficult to re-string the crossbow on horseback."

While speaking, Luo Cheng also gave Bai Ze a special demonstration.

It can be said that the whole process of raising the crossbow made Bai Ze see it at a glance.

This hand crossbow is indeed a weapon.

But for the cavalry fighting on horseback, there is basically only one chance.

Inevitably there is a feeling of overkill.

Let the infantry unit hold it, it is estimated that it can play a greater value.

And about this matter, Luo Cheng obviously also made some explanations.

Tell Bai Ze that this is the weapon of the crossbow troops.

Because this time escorting food is crucial.

It was borrowed for them to use.

After a simple conversation, everyone quickly turned the topic to business.

"Now, the three cities on the grassland are in a state of lack of food. It's too inefficient for us to transport one bag at a time, but the convoy can't get over, so the general wants to ask the general to transfer one. The cavalry team came over and helped to transport the food together, so as to increase the efficiency."

Luo Cheng's words were extremely sincere, and Bai Ze naturally had no reason to refuse.

"General Luo Cheng, rest assured, the soldiers have worked hard all the way, first rest in Yema City for a night, and tomorrow morning, I will ask Liu Kai to lead the five hundred cavalry to assist the grain transport team to transport grain together."
