The Qingyangying warehouse, which was just filled yesterday afternoon, was emptied out overnight!
The ordnance is gone, and so is the food!
Among the three hundred soldiers escorting the military supplies, one hundred were cavalry, and all the horses they kept in the stables were missing!
Even Dong Chuan’s own hundred war horses are gone!
What's even more disgusting is that Supervisor Dong spent a huge sum of money and the 100 war horses he just sent to Dong Chuan have also disappeared!
In other words, 300 war horses alone were lost!
Three hundred horses, hundreds of suits of armor, hundreds of swords, guns and shields, hundreds of bows and crossbows, thousands of stones of grain, and nearly a thousand mules, horses and carts. This loss was really too great, let alone Dong Chuan. Even Commander Cao was so frightened that his face turned pale and he was at a loss!
How can you explain this to Supervisor Dong?
"Dong Chuan, I don't care, you have to be responsible for what happened in your Qingyang camp, take full responsibility!"
Dong Chuan was not in the mood to argue with Commander Cao and hurriedly ran to the warehouse.
"Didn't the warehouse arrange a night watch yesterday? Where is the night watch person?"
"Sir, all the people on night watch are gone. You see so much blood on the ground, they must have been killed."
"Where's the person guarding the camp gate? He's gone too, right?"
"Yes, sir, the gatekeeper is also missing, and there are a lot of blood stains left on the ground."
The entrance to the warehouse, the entrance to the military camp, and the entrance to the stables were all covered with large areas of blood stains. It was obvious at a glance that many people had died.
"Where are the bodies? Not even a body left?"
"Yes sir, not a single body was found!"
"Go quickly and pass on my order. No one is allowed to go out and stay in their barracks waiting for investigation!"
"yes!"
Check and check, check and check.
At the end of the investigation, except for the soldiers who guarded the warehouse, guarded the stables, and guarded the military camp last night, all the other soldiers were there, not even one was missing!
"There are so many ruts on the ground, why didn't you send someone to track them?"
"Sir, the scouts have been sent out a long time ago, but they have not returned yet."
…
Finally, a scout ran back.
He was covered in blood and bruises, and his shoes were all gone.
As soon as he entered the camp gate, the scout began to cry, saying that all his brothers who followed the rut with him were dead!
Dong Chuan's eyelids jumped: "Brother Cao, please do me a favor. Let's follow the rut together to recover the things!"
"Okay, let's go now!"
Commander Cao was also afraid. He had lost so much military resources and his responsibility was not small.
After all, he drank alcohol in the military camp, which was a felony.
Soon, Dong Chuan's order was passed down, and the review of soldiers was immediately stopped. Anyone who still had weapons in their hands should gather at the school military field immediately!
Not all soldiers have weapons.
Dong Chuan originally wanted to register the ordnance delivered yesterday and then distribute it to the soldiers.
Unexpectedly, just after it was put into the warehouse, it was completely lost without even having time to create a record!
Therefore, the new recruits are unarmed.
Only Dong Chuan's original one hundred men and the three hundred soldiers escorting the military supplies were equipped.
However, Dong Chuan's one hundred men who guarded the camp gate, the stables, and the warehouse last night were missing, twenty or thirty of them were missing.
Seeing more than 300 cavalrymen turned into infantry, Commander Dong Chuan and Cao Cao were in tears.
Cavalry equipment and infantry equipment are different and far from each other.
There are no spears, no big shields, no heavy infantry armor, and not even longbows or crossbows for infantry. Unless they are dealing with bandits, once they encounter regular infantry, they will probably be defeated in one encounter!
Before Yun Chao traveled through time, he always thought that ancient cavalry used long lances.
After time travel, especially after meeting Pan Guiying, I realized that not many ancient Chinese cavalry used long spears.
Especially for the cavalry that forms a dense battle formation, if they charge with lances, the probability of being killed by the enemy is definitely much greater than the probability of being tricked to death by one of their own!
It must be equipped on a large scale and be able to break armor. The cost of the lance must be low enough, and the gun barrel must be strong enough.
Therefore, ordinary lances are long, hard, and have little elasticity.
During a cavalry duel, once such a spear penetrates the enemy's body, it must be let go immediately.
Otherwise, the force of the impact alone could knock the soldier holding the gun off his horse or even break his arm.
, in a dense cavalry battle formation, what will happen once the spear is released?
The biggest possibility is that everything is mixed!
Once the dense war horses, running at high speed, stumble upon the scattered spears, the scene is so poignant that I can't even imagine it!
Of course, this problem is not unsolvable. Just let the cavalry use the super-tough horse spear, and use the elasticity of the horse spear to push the enemy away the moment it penetrates the enemy's body.
Unfortunately, not only does this require strong martial arts, but the cost of the horse itself is also beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The production method of the horse is complicated, the production time is very long, and the cost is very high. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even many officers cannot afford it.
…
Following the ruts on the ground, Dong Chuan and Commander Cao led their troops southward.
Unexpectedly, after chasing for less than ten miles, the ruts on the ground disappeared.
"call……"
Dong Chuan, Commander Cao, and even all the soldiers breathed a long sigh of relief.
There was no way, they were too nervous.
To be able to transport so many things from Qingyang Camp overnight, the other party is definitely not a bunch of rabble.
Moreover, there must be a lot of people.
It is completely conceivable to be able to pull away 300 war horses, drive away nearly a thousand carts, and transport so much military supplies in such a short period of time. The number of people on the other side is huge.
When one's own weapons and morale do not have the upper hand, everyone has no idea if they rashly engage in a battle with an unsuspecting powerful enemy!
"Dong Chuan, the enemy is too cunning, you should quickly ask the supervisor for help!"
Although Dong Chuan knew that Commander Cao was shirking responsibility, he still had to bite the bullet and do as he said.
There's no way, the lost military resources obviously can't be recovered, so let's let that idiot cousin of mine do it!
…
Looking at the large convoy rolling forward in front of him and hundreds of horses, Lieutenant Yunxian couldn't be happier.
That guy Huang Tongpuan didn't follow martial ethics. Not only did he not do anything after receiving the money, he didn't even inform anyone. If it weren't for the fact that all the government officials in Qingyang County were his own, Yun Chao would have been caught off guard!
Moreover, the guy who managed to squeeze out his Qingyang Camp commander turned out to be that damn guy Dong Chuan.
Yun Chao had not forgotten that not long ago he wanted to assassinate him and even killed the men he had carefully trained.
If there is a road to heaven, don't take it. If there is no door to hell, you can break in on your own.
Before I could even settle the score with you, you took the initiative to send me to my door, and even snatched my commanding officer!
If you can endure this, then you can endure anything else.
Even if you have a little green on top of your head, you'll probably still be able to smile!
"Li Xing, have you arranged the aftermath? How are the traces cleaned up? Our people will not be exposed, right?"
