Chapter 44: A great victory
Although Feng Ye said that he didn't care much about reputation, he was absolutely unwilling to accept this kind of black pot that others had deducted. Feng Ye didn't have any news channels here, and by the time Feng Ye got the news, the 100,000 troops who came to arrest him from the imperial court were already not far from Dongning.
"Baochai, after your husband goes on the expedition, he will leave you a hundred Dongning Iron Cavalry, these people can be absolutely trusted. Don't believe anyone but them. Wait for her husband to come back with peace of mind. Feng Ye solemnly explained to Xue Baochai.
This expedition is different from the fight against Donghu, and no one will hold him back from the fight against Donghu. But in the event of a conflict with the imperial court, Feng Ye could not believe it, and these people would not have the slightest psychological burden if they sold him to the imperial court.
Even Xiao Dezi, who grew up with him since he was a child, Feng Ye couldn't believe it at this time, let alone Li Wei, who had not known him for a long time. On the contrary, it is Xue Baochai, who is relatively more reliable. After all, they are husband and wife, and there is no divorce in this era.
"Husband, you are about to go on an expedition, there are many soldiers in the imperial court, you are in need of manpower, one more person, one more combat power, or take them all. Once something happens to the husband, the concubine will never live alone. Baochai said firmly.
"Don't worry, as far as the wine bags and rice bags in the imperial court are regarded as chickens and dogs for the husband, and they have absolute confidence to win the battle, but I am worried that after the husband goes on the expedition, Dongning will change, so I need Baochai to help the husband hold Dongning. Defend our home. Feng Ye said with both hands on Xue Baochai's shoulders.
"Husband, the concubine is waiting for you to come back. Xue Baochai nodded heavily and said.
Feng Ye put on his helmet and armor, turned over and got on his horse, the three thousand iron horsemen had already been gathered, and Feng Ye left a hundred people to listen to Baochai's dispatch.
The Dongning Iron Cavalry ran at full speed, but in just an hour, he had already seen the army of the imperial court. Half a month ago, these guys were beaten by the Donghu people. At this moment, the Donghu people retreated, and they trembled. The armor is bright, like an elite look.
These guys originally thought that the mission this time was to conduct an armed march to receive the tens of thousands of war horses in Dongning, and by the way, let the people see that the imperial army was still strong. The defeat in the previous war was nothing but a crime of non-war.
The generals who led the troops didn't know if they didn't have any skills, or because they were careless, they didn't even send a striker. The few scouts didn't go far.
Seeing the army of the imperial court, actually marching so defenselessly, of course Feng Ye would not be polite to them. Directly charging into battle with iron cavalry, the generals who led the troops obviously did not expect that in the face of the 100,000 troops of the imperial court, Feng Ye only had 3,000 soldiers and horses, and he actually dared to go out of the city to fight. I don't know if I'm alive or dead.
The leader seemed to be about to shout something, but unfortunately the sound of the horse's hooves on Feng Ye's side was too loud, and he didn't hear what he said clearly.
By the time the general realized that something was wrong, the Dongning Iron Cavalry had already appeared in front of them. By the time the officer wanted to command the soldiers to form a battle formation, the Dongning Iron Cavalry had already entered the ranks, the Dongning Iron Cavalry was wearing armor, the horse was a tall horse, and the man was also a big waist and a round waist, and he ran with all his strength, and the impact could easily kill the person. Not to mention that the Dongning Iron Riders still have sharp bone spears in their hands. It's like a tiger entering a flock, and the officers and soldiers are killed and their armor is abandoned.
The march of the 100,000-strong army stretched for miles, and there was no end in sight. It's a pity that there is no formation, and there is no power to fight back against the Dongning Iron Cavalry who charged in the upper formation.
With a single charge, the army of the imperial court was routed and fled. Each of the Iron Riders had more than one corpse pierced on the bone spear. The sprint was too fast to throw their corpses off.
These soldiers in the imperial court only train once in three or five days, or even ten days, and they don't have as much time as primary school students have to go out for exercises. What discipline can be expected from these people? Many people don't know how many enemies are coming, and they don't even know who they are. The officers and men in front ran desperately backwards, and the officers and men in the back did not know the situation and were coerced and ran along.
The entire ranks of the officers and soldiers were suddenly in chaos, the formation was scattered, and the soldiers could not find the generals, nor the generals could find the soldiers.
The infantry against the cavalry relied on a strict formation, and once there was no formation, it became a mass of loose sand, and for the cavalry, it became a prey without the power to resist.
Like a sharp arrow, the Dongning Iron Cavalry charged again, and Feng Ye took the lead in rushing to the front of the team. The bone spear in his hand flew up and down, and with his huge strength, there was no one in the official army who could block his move. This situation doesn't even require any moves, and under the sweep, each blow is five or six lives.
The unprepared officers and soldiers were killed by the Dongning Iron Cavalry from beginning to end, triggering a large-scale rout. There were very few horses among the officers and soldiers, and only a few officers and their personal soldiers had horses, which undoubtedly facilitated the killing of officers by the Dongning Iron Cavalry.
Without the organization of officers, the official army, which claimed to be a 100,000-strong army, had collapsed. Everyone wanted to run for their lives, and no one dared to resist anymore.
"Those who surrender on their knees will not be killed," Feng Ye shouted loudly, and the guards around him also shouted. After all, the officers and soldiers are not of an alien race, and if they can be subdued, it is still very useful. For Feng Ye, it is also good to pull back to farm.
The morale of the officers and soldiers was not high, but at this moment, they were frightened by the two charges of the Dongning Iron Cavalry, and many people lost their armor and fled. It's a pity that a two-legged one can outrun a four-legged one? Moreover, it is a super war horse, most of them are killed by bows and arrows, and only a small number of lucky ones are lucky enough to escape.
According to the statistics after the war, 60,000 were surrendered, 20,000 were killed, and all the others fled in the chaos and did not know where to go. Countless weapons and armor were captured, and the most important thing was that a large amount of grain and grass was seized.
This battle completely played the prestige of the Dongning Iron Cavalry. Feng Ye, the king of Dongning County, broke the army of 100,000 with 3,000 iron cavalry. Only the government and the opposition were shaken. No one dared to look sideways at the King of Dongning County anymore.
When Feng Ye escorted the captives and booty back to Dongning, countless people with ghosts in their hearts who were ready to sacrifice the city to the imperial court were shocked, and at the same time, they were secretly glad in their hearts that they were one step slower, otherwise it would really harm the whole family.
The county ordered Li Wei, Xiao Dezi, Xue Baochai, Jia Yingchun, Qin Keqing, and their entourage all went out of the city to greet them. Seeing Feng Ye dressed in white helmets and white armor, riding a tall horse, and the snow-white cloak fluttering in the wind behind him, the three princesses suddenly smiled, and their eyes were full of tears, this is their husband and their heaven.
Seeing the three ladies come to greet them, they hurriedly jumped off the horse and walked forward, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, if it is a lady, you can also hold hands and look at the tears, the two ladies can also hold one in one hand, and hug the two together in their arms, but the three are very troublesome, and the three monks have no water to eat. For a while, Feng Ye didn't know what to do?
