Chapter 1203

The two armies camped in the field and defended each other.

The two armies confront each other. Zhang Yu is not in a hurry.

And Ma Chao wants to wait for the experimental results.

They have made more than a dozen pairs of armor.

The effect is really very good, because the Romans are tall and strong, so they can support it.

They tied the armor to the tree. The soldiers could not be hurt by archers. At the same time, they could not chop it. It was very powerful.

Ma Chao thought, when they are equipped with the super strong army, then he will kill them.

At this point, there are more Roman troops on the way, so they need time now.

As long as we stop Zhang Yu's army first, we will kill him all the way.

But Zhang Yu won't give him that much time.

After entering Liangzhou, several armies began to move around.

They didn't do anything to the civilians, but some officials and some small towns were looted.

As if they had found the wind of the past, they began to plunder and harass everywhere.

Some big families and businessmen are also under threat.

For these people, Zhang Yu has long ordered that they can only harass, but can't really rob them.

Now, Zhang Yu can accommodate these aristocratic families and businessmen.

These people know more about the west, and when Zhang Yu takes Liangzhou, he may even use them.

Therefore, Zhang Yu did not attack these people.

In Liangzhou, the Tang army appeared in many places, and even some places behind Ma Chao showed signs of their activities.

There is a general principle for these scattered troops. If they can't fight, they must run. They are the best to run far away.

Come back when the enemy is gone.

The economic activities in Liangzhou have stopped, and those big businessmen and aristocratic families dare not transport goods out of the city.

And they have a group of people under their management, and they have to spend every day. It doesn't matter in a short time. If it can't be solved as soon as possible, something big may happen.

In addition, when Zhang Yu made a big price reduction, these merchants hoarded a lot of goods.

Pottery and Baijiu are good, saying that if tea and silk are pressed in their hands for a long time, they will be broken.

More importantly, the road to the west is broken.

When the silk road is cut off, this is a serious problem. No matter how much goods they have, they can't digest them locally, or even digest one tenth of them.

The break of the silk road is a heavy blow to Liangzhou.

Liangzhou, there are not so many resources.

At this time, many big families and businessmen in Liangzhou were very dissatisfied.

"If he is occupied by Zhang Yu, he always supports business contacts."

"The silk road was developed by Zhang Yu."

"If Ma Teng colludes with the Romans and is not allowed by Zhang Yu, we will be miserable."

"If it's Zhang Yu..."

It's only 20 days since the beginning of the war, and the blockade was only about two months ago, but these aristocratic families feel uncomfortable.

A large number of goods are overstocked in the hands. Once the business stops, it used to be hard to earn money every day.

It's OK for them to feel uncomfortable for a while. They are afraid that they will lose their money in the long run.

What's the difference between killing them and being cut off.

Zhang Yu started to spread the news.

We must be prepared in both hands and attack in many ways.

In addition to sending a large number of people into Liangzhou to destroy and cut off all contacts, Zhang Yu also prepared a lot.

Spreading the news is simple.

"Zhang Yu has more than ten states all over the world, and Ma Teng is only one state. Why?"

"We are the people who suffer. If we fight for one year, we will suffer for one year. If we fight for ten years, we will suffer for ten years."

"Some people hoard a lot of goods, for fear that they will be permanently smashed in their own hands."

"I don't know how many people will die."

"The Ma family's father and son are conspiring with foreigners to subvert our Chinese daotong."

Zhang Yu's remarks are aimed at everyone.

No matter what the identity of the other party, there are corresponding comments.

Ordinary people have long been tired of war, while businessmen are afraid of protracted war. Scholars can not tolerate the destruction of Chinese orthodoxy, let alone foreign invasion.

For a time, the people slowly formed a group of people who resisted Ma Teng and his son.

It's not obvious yet, but as long as there is a chance, the Martens and their sons will be very uncomfortable.

Ma Teng and his son did this without telling most people, but now they suddenly break out, and many people don't support him at all.

Zhang Yu began to plan new actions while attacking with public opinion.

On this day, Zhang Yu asked Xi Zhicai to talk to Guo Jia.

"I plan to organize an army to go deep into the desert. As long as they destroy their transit stronghold, it will be very difficult for the Roman army to come over." Zhang Yu said to them.

Zhang Yu had thought about it for a long time, but they didn't want to destroy the Silk Road at that time.

It took Ma Teng several years to build up, and it was easy to destroy.

But now things have changed.

If more Romans come, it will be very dangerous.

Zhang Yu wanted to stop all this, so he had to send someone to cut off the road to Rome.

Zhang Yu doesn't care so much now. If he plays for a long time, he will lose more.

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai agreed.

"Lord, according to the information obtained by the subordinates, the weapons and equipment of the Roman army were all made by marten, that is, they were not prepared when they came. If we start in the desert ahead of time, maybe we can easily kill them." Guo Jia said.

Zhang Yu nodded. That's a good idea.

"In order to enter the hinterland of the desert, we must have sufficient preparation and logistics, otherwise it is difficult to do so. I'm afraid we can't go in a short time."

To go to the desert, you have to find a guide or something. It's not so easy to prepare materials and camels.

"Lord, it's easy to find a guide. Our people have also experienced several desert trips. Besides, it's hard to manage camels. If we buy camels on a large scale, I'm afraid they will be found." Guo Jia said.

Guo Jia also said: "Lord, but it doesn't matter. We don't go deep into the extreme West. There are still many places to replenish water along the road. As long as we destroy two strongholds, if the Romans are not prepared, they will be trapped in the desert."

Zhang Yu now understands that the natural environment of the western regions in this era has not been seriously damaged, and there are many oases along the road. This is the western regions 2000 years ago, not the northwest of Zhang Yu's era.

"Well, then prepare secretly immediately, but it must be the soldiers who have fought with the Romans here. Let them carry swords and bows, and do not wear armor."

Walking in the desert in armor is like looking for death.

If the Romans didn't have many weapons, then bows and swords would be enough to kill them.

Guo Jia found the spies who had been ambushed here before, and then began to study the map.

Along the road, there are six large strongholds and more than ten small strongholds.

The big stronghold is well prepared and can only be used by 20000 people. Therefore, if Rome in the West wants to come, it will also be criticized. Therefore, Zhang Yu only plans to let 5000 people go.
