Chapter 1209

Zhao Yun ambushed the Roman army and destroyed their strongholds.

Now, the Roman army can't send any more troops.

It's still easy for a small team to come over, but the big team is too adventurous and may be wiped out in the desert.

Five days later, the enemy did not appear again. Zhao Yun collected all the water, then brought enough food and grass, and burned all the remaining food.

This fire burned for a long time, and it was all washed up with Baijiu and burned clean.

Zhao Yun, they left, and the team they left before has destroyed a stronghold.

There are not many people in these strongholds, and at most there are only a few hundred.

Since Ma Teng had been specially exterminated, there were cities and villages in the desert under his control, so there were no robbers, so these strongholds were very safe.

In order to reduce the burden of the stronghold, they naturally need to reduce the manpower.

Another team arranged by Zhao Yun has 2000 people. Under the attack, it is easy to destroy the stronghold.

Then the team went back and destroyed a place to replenish water.

That place, just two days away from the last replenishment place, was managed by more than a dozen people.

For water, Zhao Yun, they won't destroy it. Water in the desert is too difficult.

What they can do is try to cover up the traces of the water.

Destroy all the man-made buildings around. After the change of wind and sand, the track before may be covered. If the enemy does not have a detailed map, they may not be able to find it, or they will waste 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, he would only keep a few towns as transit stations, and the rest would have to move away. The ecology of the desert is too fragile.

Zhang Yu has long planned to protect the northwest. When he controls the whole of China, the ecology of the northwest will be protected by him.

On the way back, Zhao Yun destroyed another stronghold.

In this way, in the middle of the desert, there are no strongholds to supply for more than 20 days.

If you are not careful, you will get lost.

Then it's a devastating blow to the army.

At least make sure that they can't come over in a short time, so they go back.

During the period when Zhao Yun left, Zhang Yu's action did not stop.

After repeated attacks, now their army has become familiar with the Romans, no longer fear.

They are still demons, but they are demons that can be killed.

Not very fierce devil, gradually the soldiers are no longer afraid.

After they are no longer afraid, their combat effectiveness will naturally be improved. Some soldiers will try their best to sum up their experience and find out more loopholes of the enemy.

During this period of time, Ma Teng had a very difficult time.

Ma Chao's army is not making progress. They are closely watched.

Zhang Yu had a large number of troops and sent more than 100000 troops to harass him.

Some came from the grassland to attack.

Attack from all sides, which makes Ma Teng they can only guard the city tightly.

Ma Teng's activities are becoming more and more difficult. Ma Chao thinks that he's holding Zhang Yu's main force, but it's not.

Zhang Yu has a large army. He drags Ma Chao's army and then moves around.

Marten, they don't have so many troops, they can't control too many places.

Just control a few big cities, and the others are powerless.

Ma Chao is fighting in the front, while Ma Teng is stabilizing in the rear.

But now the rear is not very stable.

Zhang Yu's army will not harass these places even though the surface is calm.

But in some villages and towns, they are completely out of control.

In this way, Ma Teng's rule will slowly lose control.

Ma Teng was very anxious. He often visited those aristocratic families and tried to stabilize them.

And these aristocratic families are very stable, no one has small moves, Ma Teng needs to cooperate, they also cooperate very much.

"I hope Zhang Yu's commitment is effective."

"After Zhang Yu takes Liangzhou, he will not embarrass our family or take over our property, but he can only be a businessman in the future. He can't own a lot of land or armed forces."

"It's better than washing it off. There's no hope for Ma Teng."

"A marginal state, how to fight against Zhang Yu who has four seas."

"Well, I don't know when Ma Teng will wake up."

Zhang Yu has long sent people to meet these aristocratic families secretly. These people go to the West all the year round. After Zhang Yu takes Liangzhou, he has to rely on them and continue to open the Silk Road, so Zhang Yu will let them go.

Taking the silk road requires capital. If Zhang Yu takes over their property, they will not be able to go, so Zhang Yu lets them go.

However, it is not allowed to have a large amount of land and armed forces.

Zhang Yu will naturally protect their safety and do not need them to have armed forces.

Ma Teng didn't know Zhang Yu's movements.

All the great families and businessmen are dormant. At this time, they dare not offend Zhang Yu and leak the news.

Ma Teng is in urgent need of appeasing them. Although these businessmen cooperate, they also make trouble and often go to Ma Teng to complain.

If we don't complain, it's not normal. We need Ma Teng to open a Western Road, otherwise their goods will continue to be overstocked.

It took a lot of energy for marten to patronize and appease these people.

He needs to rely on these people. If Zhang Yu comes here, he also needs these people to help defend.

However, Ma Teng did not know that these people had been divorced from him for a long time.

A few days later, Zhang Yu and Ma Chao fought twice.

At this time, there were 150000 troops under Ma Chao's control, but they were already supplementary troops.

After a long time of fierce fighting, Ma Chao's troops were also 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 in the west can come.

What Ma Chao doesn't know is that they can't make it.

Zhao Yun has burned three strongholds, and the Roman army will never dare to come.

They will also send small teams to investigate and find that many strongholds have been burned, which is difficult to overcome.

Zhang Yu finally received news from Zhao Yun.

"That's great. With the annihilation of ten thousand Roman troops and the burning of the strongholds, we can have a general attack on the Martens and their sons." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu has been preparing for a long time, as long as they can break down their morale, then attack.

"Spread the news to me and let those aristocratic families contribute."

Zhang Yu orders to spread the news, which indicates that he is going to start.

As long as their morale was shaken, as long as they could see no hope, and the Romans could not come to support them, they certainly had no hope.

When everything is ready, as long as the news continues to spread, they will naturally collapse in a short time.

"Lord, we have gathered hundreds of thousands of troops. The Roman army is no longer worrying. It can start the war of annihilation." Guo Jia asserted.
