Chapter 1209
Chapter 1212 Eve of total attack
Zhao Yun ambushed the Roman army and destroyed their stronghold.
At this time, it is impossible for the Roman army to send a large army over.
Small teams are still easy to come over, but large teams are too adventurous and may be wiped out in the desert.
Five days later, the enemy did not reappear. Zhao Yun and the others collected all the water, then brought enough grain and grass, and then burned all the remaining grain.
This fire was burned for a long time, and it was poured with white wine and burned clean.
Zhao Yun and the others left, and the team they had left had already destroyed a stronghold.
There are not many people in these strongholds, at most they are around a few hundred people.
Since Ma Teng had specially cleaned and suppressed, there were cities and villages in the desert under his control, so no robbers appeared, so these strongholds were also very safe.
In order to reduce the burden on the stronghold, they naturally want to reduce the manpower.
The other team arranged by Zhao Yun had two thousand people. Under a sneak attack, it was naturally easy to destroy the stronghold.
Then, the team continued to walk back, ruining a place for replenishing water.
In that place, only two days away from the last supply place, a dozen people manage the water supply.
They will not destroy the water source Zhao Yun, the water source in the desert is too difficult.
All they can do is try to hide the traces of the water source.
Destroy the surrounding man-made buildings. After the changes of wind and sand, the previous traces may be covered. If the enemy does not have a detailed map, it may not be found, or it will take a lot of time to find it.
In fact, there are still some towns in the desert, but the conditions are very difficult.
If Zhang Yu knew, only a few cities and towns would remain as transit stations, and the rest would have to be moved away. The ecology of the desert would be too fragile.
Zhang Yu had already planned to protect the Northwest. When he controlled the entire China, the ecology of the Northwest would be protected by him.
Zhao Yun went back, and they destroyed another stronghold on the way.
In this way, in the middle of the desert, there are no strongholds to supply for more than 20 days.
In the blank period of more than 20 days, if you are not careful, you will get lost.
Then it would be a devastating blow to the army.
At least it was certain that they would not be able to come over in the short term, Zhao Yun and the others went back.
During the period of Zhao Yun’s departure, Zhang Yu’s actions did not stop.
After repeated attacks, their army has gradually become familiar with the Romans and is no longer in fear.
They are still demons, but they are demons that can be killed.
If the devil is not very powerful, gradually the soldiers will no longer be afraid.
After they are no longer afraid, fighting against them will naturally increase their combat power. Some soldiers try to summarize their experience and find more loopholes in the enemy.
During this time, Ma Teng was very sad.
Ma Chao’s army did not make progress, and they were closely watched.
However, Zhang Yu had a large army and sent hundreds of thousands of troops to harass.
Some came from the grassland to attack.
Attacking from all sides, this made Ma Teng and the others can only hold on to the city.
Ma Teng and their activities are getting more and more difficult. Ma Chao thinks that he has dragged Zhang Yu’s main force, but it is not.
Zhang Yu had a lot of army, dragged Ma Chao’s army, and then moved around.
Ma Teng didn’t have that many troops, and they couldn’t control too many places.
Just control a few big cities, the others can do nothing.
Ma Chao was fighting in the front, and Ma Teng was steady in the rear.
However, now the rear is not very stable.
The surface is calm and the waves are calm, and Zhang Yu’s army will not harass these places.
But in some villages and towns, Ma Teng completely lost control.
In this way, Ma Teng’s rule will slowly lose control.
Ma Teng was very anxious. He often visited those families and tried to stabilize them.
And these families are very stable, no one has any small movements, Ma Teng needs to cooperate, and they are also very cooperative.
“I hope Zhang Yu’s promise is effective.”
“After Zhang Yu has taken Liangzhou, he will not embarrass our family, nor will he seize our property, but in the future he can only be a businessman, and he cannot own a large amount of land or possess arms.”
“It’s better than cleaning it off. There is no hope for Ma Teng.”
“How can a fringe state fight against Zhang Yu, who has four seas.”
“Hey, I don’t know when Ma Teng will wake up.”
Zhang Yu had long since sent people to secretly only cover these families. These people traveled to the West all year round. After Zhang Yu won Liangzhou, he had to rely on them to continue to open the Silk Road, so Zhang Yu would let them go.
Taking the Silk Road requires capital. If Zhang Yu seized their property, they would be unable to go, so Zhang Yu let them go.
However, owning a large amount of land and having a large amount of armed forces is not allowed.
Zhang Yu will naturally protect their safety, and they do not need to have armed forces.
Ma Teng didn’t know Zhang Yu’s movements.
All the big families and big businessmen were dormant, and at this time they dared not to offend Zhang Yu or leak the news.
Ma Teng urgently needs to appease them. Although these businessmen cooperate, they also make trouble, and often rush to Ma Teng to complain.
It is not normal not to complain. Ma Teng is required to open the way to the West, otherwise their cargo will continue to be accumulated.
Ma Teng spent a lot of energy just pampering these people.
He needs to rely on these people, and if Zhang Yu fights over, he needs these people to help defend.
However, Ma Teng didn’t know that these people had long since separated from him.
A few days later, Zhang Yu and Ma Chao fought twice again.
At this time, Ma Chao still had 150,000 soldiers and horses under his control, but it was already a supplementary army.
After a long period of fierce warfare, Ma Chao’s troops consumed a lot.
Ma Chao is willing to spend slowly with Zhang Yu here, but also to block Zhang Yu’s army, so that the Roman army from the west can come over.
What Ma Chao didn’t know was that they couldn’t make it through.
Zhao Yun had already burned three strongholds, and the Roman army would definitely not dare to come over.
They will also send a small team to investigate, and at that time they will find that many strongholds have been burned, which is difficult to overcome.
Zhang Yu finally received the news from Zhao Yun and the others It was great, annihilated the 10,000 Roman army, and burned the stronghold, it is already possible to attack Ma Teng and his son. “Zhang Yu said.
Zhang Yu has been preparing for a long time, as long as they can destroy their morale, then they will attack.
“Spread the news to me, and let those aristocratic families also contribute.”
Zhang Yu ordered the news to be spread out, which meant that he was about to start doing things.
As long as their military spirit is shaken, as long as they can’t see hope, and the Romans can’t come to support, they certainly have no hope.
Once everything is ready, just let the news continue to spread, and it won’t take long for them to collapse naturally.
“Master, we have gathered hundreds of thousands of troops. This Roman army is no longer a concern and can start the battle of annihilation.” Guo Jia asserted.
