A day later, Lin Chuan arrived at Zhuo County City from Wuji City.
Compared to Wuji, the air in Zhuo County was filled with the smell of gunpowder. Strong bows and crossbows patrolled the city pass, and black smoke constantly rose from the burning kerosene.
"Stop, who are you? Don't come any closer, or I'll give the order to shoot!”
When Lin Chuan and the others approached the entrance of Zhuo County City, a rough man carefully looked at them.
Target: Zou Jing
[Strength: 81]
[Commander: 68]
[Intelligence: 71]
Political Affairs: 59
So it was him. Although his stats were average and he wasn't very famous in history, Zou Jing had contributed a lot in the siege of Zhuo County. He could be considered a hero.
After looking at the other party's data, Lin Chuan smiled and said,
"I am Lin Chuan. I know that Governor Liu is recruiting soldiers to fight against the Yellow Turban bandits, so I have specially brought 500 elite cavalry to help.”
Hearing this, Zou Jing was stunned. The eyes of the guards at the city gate lit up.
"Five hundred elite cavalry? Great, this battle was going to be fought!”
"Our five thousand soldiers in the city only have five hundred cavalry. I didn't expect this youth to bring five hundred cavalry at once.”
"Look, the equipment of those cavalrymen is obviously much more elite than the ones in the city.”
……
Without waiting for Zou Jing to reply, the guards exploded. There was nothing they could do. Cavalry was too rare in this era. It could be said that whoever had a decent cavalry represented their strength.
This was also the reason why Gongsun Zan's White Horse Righteous Follower and Ding Yuan's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry were able to intimidate a region.
Moreover, although the Yellow Turban bandits were known to be in the millions, most of them were infantry. It just so happened that the cavalry was the nemesis of infantry.
There were only 500 cavalrymen in Zhuo County City, and Lin Chuan had brought 500 white-robed soldiers with him. It was no wonder that they were so excited.
"I am Zhuo County Lieutenant Zou Jing. I was rude earlier. With Brother Lin's help, there is hope for this battle. Quickly, follow me into the city to meet my prefect. Lord Liu will be very happy to hear this news.”
Zou Jing's serious expression faded away and he put on a smile as he pulled Lin Chuan and called him Brother Lin without any fear of embarrassment.
"You guys patrol outside the city. Yuanqing, follow me into the city.”
Lin Chuan turned around and instructed the white-robed soldier. After all, it was not convenient for cavalrymen to enter the city.
After entering the city, the three of them arrived at the prefect's manor. Before they even entered, Zou Jing laughed and shouted,"
"Lord, Lord Liu, great joy!”
Liu Yan put down the map in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and asked Zou Jing,
"Has the Imperial Court sent reinforcements?"
"No, prefect, it's this virtuous brother Lin who brought people to Zhuo County to help us defeat the Yellow Turban bandits!”
The light in Liu Yan's eyes gradually dimmed. After looking at Lin Chuan and Pei Yuanqing, he said with slight disappointment,"
"Oh, very good, ambition doesn't depend on age. At such a young age, you have the heart to serve your country.
Commandant Zou, quickly bring them to the guest room to rest."”
Pei Yuanqing seemed to be a little unhappy with Liu Yan's perfunctory words. He wanted to go forward and say something, but Lin Chuan raised his hand to signal for him to stop.
"Milord, do you know how many troops Brother Lin has brought?”
Zou Jing kept her in suspense, but the excitement in her eyes spread.
"How many people?"
Liu Yan picked up the map on the table again and asked without looking up.
"500 elite cavalry!"
"Five hundred? Hmm, not bad, not bad…Wait, what did you say?”
After Liu Yan heard the last two words clearly, he threw the map in his hand away and widened his eyes in excitement.
"500 elite cavalry. I've looked at them carefully. The elite cavalry that Brother Lin brought are well-trained and well-equipped. Compared to our cavalry, they are at least a level higher.”
Zou Jing was a general, so he had the most basic observation skills. Although he still couldn't see through the white-robed army's combat strength, he could tell that they were stronger than their cavalry from their orderly movements.
"Hiss…I was blind. I didn't expect Brother Lin to be so generous. With 500 elite cavalry to help in the battle, it seems that our army has a little more confidence in tomorrow's battle!”
Liu Yan had a rough understanding of the art of war, and he knew the importance of the cavalry in this battle. Although there were only 500 of them, it provided Zhuo County with a variety of tactical options.
Liu Yan hurriedly invited Lin Chuan to take a seat and asked the servants to serve him tea as if he was a distinguished guest.
"Milord, did you just say that the Yellow Turban bandits will attack tomorrow?”
Lin Chuan asked after taking a sip of tea.
"It's not a large-scale attack, but the vanguard of the Yellow Turban bandits. Deng Mao will lead ten thousand people to take the lead.”
Now, Lin Chuan's image in Liu Yan's heart was no less than Zou Jing's, so he naturally didn't hide the military situation.
"He dares to use 10,000 people as the vanguard for an army of 30,000. How can this Yellow Turban bandit use troops like this…"
After hearing Liu Yan's words, Pei Yuanqing muttered to himself. Based on his understanding of the art of war, the vanguard should only have one-fifth of the total force. This was to facilitate the control of the battle.
"And this is?"
"He is my subordinate, Pei Yuanqing.”
Lin Chuan's introduction was very simple. He didn't like Big Ear Liu's way of saying that his two younger brothers had the courage to fight. Anyway, the battle was going to start tomorrow. His performance would naturally be seen by others. There was no need for him to use his mouth.
"So it's Brother Pei. It seems that Brother Pei is also a person who knows the art of war.”
Liu Yan looked at Pei Yuanqing with admiration and deliberately lowered his voice,"
"Younger Brother Lin, I've always claimed that Cheng Zhiyuan brought 30,000 Yellow Turban bandits to invade the border. In fact…it's 50,000 people! I said 30,000 because I'm afraid it will mess up the morale of the army.”
"50,000 men, 10,000 vanguards, this is also in line with the art of war. It seems that Cheng Zhiyuan still has some ability.”
Lin Chuan only had 500 iron cavalry, so it was obviously impossible for him to fight 50,000 people. However, as long as he killed Deng Mao's 10,000 vanguard troops tomorrow, the fragments should be enough to combine the troops to deal with Cheng Zhiyuan's army.
This was an opportunity to earn a huge amount of fragments. He had to make good use of it.
Just as the two of them were discussing, a loud voice came from outside the manor,
"Lord Prefect, the weapons of the three of us have been forged. We will definitely make Deng Mao unable to return tomorrow!”
