She was wearing armor and hurried over.

"Wu Niang, look!"

Gu Qingcheng pointed to the desert to the west, "That's Xirong over there."

Huo Wuniang nodded.

As a general and tiger girl who grew up in Xizhou, she certainly knows the location of Xirong.

"I heard that they often send small groups of cavalry to harass border towns and border towns?"

"Yes! Just like a sparrow."

When Huo Wuniang said this, there was obvious disgust and annoyance in her eyes.

Those small groups of cavalry did not dare to directly attack Xizhou, border cities and other heavily guarded cities.

But they are very hateful and will come to harass you.

Give it a try and plunder nearby villages and towns.

After the soldiers and horses in the city came out to attack them, they quickly retreated.

They have fewer people and are more mobile.

As for the Huo family's troops, oh no, the Qing Dynasty's troops are large in number, so if you want to send troops, you need the general's order.

After going through the procedures step by step, by the time they left the city, the bandit-like cavalry had long since disappeared.

They are like a group of sparrows stealing food, flying in secretly, escaping quickly, and then come back again.

In this way, they ate until their bellies were full, but the people in the nearby villages suffered a lot.

As for the defenders of the Qing Dynasty, they were "played" again and again and were exhausted.

It not only affects morale, but also makes the defenders lower their vigilance.

If you cry wolf too often, next time the main force of Xirong really attacks on all fronts, the defenders of Xizhou and border towns will hesitate, which will lead to disaster.

Growing up, Huo Wuniang had often heard or seen with her own eyes such abominable operations by Xirong.

She hated it deeply, but she had no good solution.

"Why not? We can follow suit."

Gu Qingcheng smiled and said, "Father-in-law and the others are regular troops. Every time they go out, they spend a lot of money."

"But we are also a small group. We are flexible and we are not afraid of sending troops frequently."

Gu Qingcheng had to train his troops, so sending troops frequently was also a kind of training.

"Where's the horse?"

Huo Wuniang asked a question calmly.

The reason why Xirong soldiers and horses can become "sparrows" is because they are fast enough.

They have horses!

Most of the Ninth Prince's troops are infantry.

Only a dozen N generations and their tribes brought their own war horses.

All the horses add up to fifty or sixty.

"Fifty or sixty 'cavalry' is quite a lot!"

Gu Qingcheng didn't think this was a problem, "Besides, there should be horses in the city."

Beicheng is not big, and everyone from the county magistrate to the soldiers looks like they are "lying flat".

However, no matter how small it is, it is still a border town, and it still has some horses.

After all, these people, if they are short of money or food, will go to the surrounding villages and towns to plunder.

Without horses, they would be plundering nothing!

"Yes! I counted them last night and there were sixteen horses in total."

"..." Poor enough.

Gu Qingcheng secretly complained, but his handsome face remained calm, "Add sixteen horses, and we have nearly eighty cavalry."

This number is quite a lot.

At least--

"First clear out the horse bandits and bunkers around you!"

Gu Qingcheng is still doing the same old thing, from small to big, from weak to strong.

First, practice with horse bandits and mountain bandits. You can not only obtain money, food, war horses and other trophies, but also eliminate hidden dangers.

Gu Qingcheng wants to run Beicheng as her base camp. She wants to use Beicheng as the center and expand her territory outwards in circles.

Those thieves, haha, shouldn't appear in her Gu Qingcheng territory.

"yes!"

Huo Wuniang readily agreed.

She loves leading troops in battles most, and is happy as long as she has a chance to perform.

Gu Qingcheng: ...Don't worry, there will be many opportunities to fight in the future.
