Chapter 39 Facing Donghu
Feng Ye gave an order, and the entire Dongning Wei was boiling, and everyone knew that there was going to be a war. Hearing that the Donghu army was pressing, many people panicked in their hearts, regretted and annoyed coming to Dongningwei, and completely forgot the joy they had given to their daughter-in-law and fields, as well as when they ploughed cattle.
However, there are still many bloody people who automatically come to the barracks to gather, wanting to join the army and defend the fields they have just been allocated.
In this era, the field is more important to a farmer than life. As soon as the land was allocated, someone came to grab it. How can these people not fight hard?
In the face of these people's invitation to fight, Feng Ye really didn't want to recruit them into the army, and those who had never experienced militarized training could still be expected to have any combat effectiveness? Many times, pig teammates are more terrible than enemies.
But everyone supported him so enthusiastically, was willing to be a soldier for him, and was not afraid of death to go to the battlefield, so he refused, and it was not good to pour a basin of cold water on it.
Xiao Dezi saw Feng Ye's embarrassment, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, or take these people in for the time being, when this person is panicking, it is also good to patrol the city to manage public security." Otherwise, if you take the troops away, I am afraid that there will be some instability in the city. "Not to mention that so many emperors in ancient times were willing to favor eunuchs.
Feng Ye nodded and said, "It's okay, you are responsible for this matter!"
Feng Ye dispatched all 3,000 iron cavalry this time, leaving only some officials and newly recruited soldiers to defend the city. Only two small teams of twenty guards were left at home, just in case, in case something happened, these biochemical warriors could also run away with his wives.
White clothes and white armor, white helmets and white horses. Feng Ye's snow-colored cloak waved in the wind. The autumn is high and cool, and the three thousand iron horses gallop on the plain, reflecting each other with the white clouds in the sky.
At the speed of the Dongning Iron Cavalry, they set out in the morning and found the enemy marching from a distance at noon.
The front probe Ma Lai reported: "Report, thirty miles ahead found the Donghu forward, about 3,000 horsemen." ”
"Homecoming. ”
"Yes"
Feng Ye raised the bone spear in his hand and shouted: "The enemy is thirty miles ahead, charge with me and defeat them!"
If other generals heard Feng Ye's command, they were afraid that a mouthful of old blood would spurt out, and the average infantry would walk thirty or fifty miles a day. The enemy charged at thirty miles, and when he rushed to the enemy, he was exhausted and paralyzed. Isn't it a blind command to deliver food to the enemy?
The Dongning Iron Cavalry is different from the cavalry of this era, and the cavalry that travels thousands of miles a day is not much slower than a car. If you sprint with all your might, thirty miles is a matter of twenty minutes. And with the endurance of a biochemical war horse, running such a distance, that is, just moving the body, and not waiting to sweat.
The world's martial arts are not broken, and it is the same when used in the army, and the effect is even more powerful.
When Feng Ye saw the Donghu people, the Donghu people were on the march, in a mess, and there was no formation or anything at all. At first glance, it is a rabble with little training.
But it is these rabble that can suppress the entire Liaodong Town every year, and the entire Liaodong Town defenders can only shrink into the military town and the guard post, and dare not come forward. The entire land of Liaodong is thousands of miles of fertile land, allowing others to gallop and plunder. There was no way to fight back.
"Shoot the arrow!" Feng Ye rushed to the front first, although he was not proficient in bows and arrows, but he had enough strength. The enemy is densely packed with a large area, as long as the strength is enough, no matter how far the arrow goes, there will always be unlucky ghosts who will be hit by the arrow.
As soon as the rain of arrows fell, the enemy fell in pieces, and Feng Ye looked at the scale and estimated that there should be a quarter. With such a ferocious and accurate archery technique, the leather armor and wooden shields on their bodies could not be blocked at all, which immediately caused some confusion among the enemy.
Don't take the Hu people too seriously, they are not professional soldiers, but the ability to ride horses and shoot arrows is a game that has been practiced since childhood. The combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is indeed stronger than that of farmers. But in terms of the operation of the large corps, in fact, it is not much better than the soldiers of the Central Plains.
The Donghu people who were attacked were suddenly confused, some were scared and wanted to escape, and some of their companions were shot and killed, and they wanted to take revenge without a brain. On the whole, there is no command in sight.
Just when the Hu generals scolded the scattered soldiers and sorted out the team, Feng Ye had already led the Dongning Iron Cavalry into the enemy army. It's like pouring hot water on the snow, and the snow disappears in an instant.
Dongning iron cavalry is dressed in armor, ordinary Donghu bows and arrows and scimitars, and does not break the defense at all. On the other hand, the leather armor of the Donghu people, in front of the spears and sabers of the Dongning Iron Cavalry, is no different from the papier-mâché, and it does not play a defensive role at all.
The biochemical war horse is tall and strong, with a shoulder height of more than one meter eight, while the Donghu war horse is less than one meter five at the shoulder, and in front of the biochemical war horse, it looks extremely thin, like a stunted younger brother. It almost knocked me down.
The Dongning Iron Cavalry, which charged up, went on a rampage, and the knights on both sides collided, basically crushing it one-sidedly. There is not the slightest suspense. Only one charge has already killed and injured more than half of the Donghu pioneers.
A normal cavalry team, after a charge, needs to go around in a circle, and then charge again. But the Dongning Iron Cavalry didn't need it, and the discipline of the Biochemical Knights was incomparable, so he directly turned the horse's head, and the rear team became the front team, and he charged again.
This time, it was the Dongning Iron Cavalry who chased the Donghu people and beat their buttocks. The speed of the Dongning Iron Cavalry was fast, and it was closely behind the Donghu people's team, so that the Donghu people had no chance to turn around. It's going to be fatal. The bows and arrows shot by the Donghu people looked back and were basically powerless, and they did not break the defense at all.
On the side of the Dongning Iron Cavalry, with a hunting attitude, the arrows were not missing, and the Donghu people were defeated in one fell swoop. If there are smart ones, they will leave the team and scatter to the left and right, Feng Ye is also too lazy to divide his troops to chase, of course, the pursuit must be chased by a team with a large number of people, so as to have the greatest gain.
Many fools just think that it doesn't matter if they can't outrun the enemy, just outrun their peers. Basically none of the people who had this kind of thought ran away. After all, the Dongning Iron Rider is not a beast, and killing people will not delay them much.
This battle can be said to be a complete victory, the Dongning Iron Cavalry calmly converged the trophies, and all the intact and lightly injured war horses can be brought back, don't look at these Donghu war horses are a few streets away from the biochemical war horses. But in this day and age, it is still a very valuable good thing. There were not many cavalry in the entire imperial court.
The seriously injured war horse made up for it, and together with the war horse that died in battle, Feng Ye was included in the space gem, which was all good military food. As for those leather armor, bows and arrows of the Donghu people, they were simply burned, Feng Ye didn't look down on these things, and it was useless to keep them.
