Chapter Forty-Seven: Making a Fortune
"It's great that the soldiers are divided into four ways, I'm afraid they'll be gathered together. Just give us a chance to break through. Feng Ye said with the map. As he spoke, he silently calculated the distance between several people in Donghu.
Donghu's expedition this time was very smooth, winning consecutive battles, attacking the city, and the defenders of Liaodong Town could only retreat in the fortified city to defend.
Donghu had already looted enough supplies to survive the winter, so he was unwilling to fight with Liaodong Town on the fortified city, so as not to lose his troops. Just when the war was deadlocked, the imperial court took the initiative to negotiate peace, which allowed them to gain a lot.
Originally, according to the plan, they were supposed to return to their respective tribes with the loot. However, because the marching speed was much slower, it was only a few days after leaving Liaodong Town, and when the army had not dispersed, something happened on the side of Daliang.
Feng Ye defeated the 100,000 army of the imperial court in a battle. So that the entire Liaodong no longer has the ability to resist. Suddenly, these Donghu people became greedy again. There were no defenders on the border, and Donghudan Yu Mo Rigen felt that he might be able to fight this battle to the capital of Daliang.
forced the Great Liang to pay tribute every year from now on, and to be a minister every year. And once the people of various tribes are asked to go back to deliver the loot, I am afraid that it will be delayed for a long time, so that Daliang will be relieved and miss a great opportunity.
Craftsmen, beauties, young slaves, grain, these are inconvenient to carry, and the various tribes form a coalition of 20,000 men to guard the steppe. Gold, silver, jewelry, and other things that are easy to carry are all on the soldiers' bodies. Whoever grabbed these properties belonged to whomever they had. It was difficult to centralize management, and the minions were reluctant to trust the discipline of the tribal leader.
The Donghu people attacked in four directions in order to have a greater harvest, and the 200,000 people were all gathered together, how many things could they grab? They were not far from each other, but the cavalry was a day's journey. In the event of a battle, they can quickly support each other.
Although these Donghu people had heard of Feng Ye's dazzling record of annihilating the 30,000 Donghu army with 3,000, they had already learned the news from the mouth of the defeated soldiers, that is, when they were camping at night, they encountered the assault of the Dongning Iron Cavalry.
Coupled with the fact that they had not had time to eat after a whole day of marching, the men were sleepy and tired, and the soldiers were tired and hungry, they were taken by surprise, and all these reasons combined to create that amazing record. In their eyes, it was an absolute accident.
As for the defeat of 100,000 Liang officers and troops in World War I, in their eyes, it is not worth mentioning at all. In their eyes, the officers and soldiers of Daliang are all cowards at all, and they only dare to retreat in the fortified city to defend, once they go out of the city to fight in the field, they feel that they can do it. That's nothing.
In the eyes of the Donghu generals, Feng Ye does have some skills, but there is an element of luck in this.
The generals of Donghu felt that as long as they were careful in their march and sent more scouts to investigate, they would definitely not repeat the mistakes of the past.
It's a pity that these Donghu people analyzed many reasons for Feng Ye's victory in battles, but they ignored the most important one - speed. They only knew that Dongning Tie's horse was fast, but they didn't know how fast it was.
These uneducated guys can hardly know how fast the Dongning Iron Cavalry is from the mouths of the rout. They think it's faster than their horses. For the rout, it was as fast as lightning, like a gust of wind. They just thought that it was an exaggeration that the routs had not seen.
Feng Ye carefully studied the march route of Donghu's four-way army, and it only took two or three days for these four-way army to meet in Dongning. Even if Feng Ye broke them all, it would be difficult to kill these Donghu people before they entered Dongning.
Once the battle takes place in Dongning, those routs and deserters will inevitably cause huge losses to Dongning.
Feng Ye set his eyes on Donghu's spoils, and the place where the spoils were kept was two or three hundred miles away from the other four-way armies. It was only more than five hundred miles away from Feng Ye's Dongning Iron Horse.
For the average cavalryman, this distance would have taken at least five days of rapid marching. But for Dongning Iron Cavalry, it is only half a day's distance. It's just like that, under your nose, this is the meat that comes to your mouth.
Feng Ye, who had made up his mind, directly took the Dongning Iron Cavalry and interspersed through the blank area between the two Donghu armies. He is not afraid that Donghu will know the news, even if they know the news, they can only follow the back of Dongning Tieqi's horse butt to eat dirt.
The troops that guarded the spoils of war were formed by the joint efforts of various tribes, which meant that there was no unified command at all. And these guys have to be on guard against each other.
From the layout of the camp, it can be seen that there are more than 20,000 people, and they are divided into more than a dozen camps. In the face of such an army, Feng Ye took three thousand Dongning iron cavalry, and without delay, he directly rushed into battle head-on, and the horse stepped on the joint camp.
Although these Donghu people did not have a unified command, their combat strength was not weak, and they were divided into more than a dozen war groups, and they fought extremely tenaciously, which could be called fearless of death.
The charge of the Dongning Iron Cavalry was the first time that it was blocked by people with flesh and blood. Many Donghu warriors, after being pierced through the body by the cavalry spear, still stubbornly wanted to drag the Dongning iron cavalry to fall off the horse together.
These Donghu people who stayed behind were the elite forces of various tribes, and more than 20,000 Donghu warriors, regardless of how many people were killed or wounded on their side, did not collapse, and no one surrendered, and fought to the death with the Dongning Iron Cavalry. This battle was fought from the afternoon until the night. It wasn't until the sky was completely dark that the remaining Donghu people were completely wiped out.
Although the strength of these Donghu people is much worse than that of Dongning Iron Cavalry, whether it is martial arts or physical fitness, they are poor in all aspects. But they fought for their lives, but they also brought a lot of losses to Feng Ye, and more than half of the three thousand Dongning Iron Cavalry were lost.
Fortunately, the cyborg fighters have a harder skull and are protected by helmets. Although the person died, he did not harm the brain in it. It can also be recycled, and it finally didn't make Feng Ye feel too distressed. It didn't take half a day for the three thousand Dongning Iron Horsemen to fill up again.
After winning the first battle and cleaning up the battlefield, Feng Ye found that the loot was really too rich, no wonder these Donghu people would rather die than retreat, the grain and grass in the camp were piled up, and there were more than 20,000 young women. Most of them were looted by Donghu in Liaodong, and a small number were sent by the imperial court for peace talks.
There are also tens of thousands of craftsmen of all kinds. Nearly 20,000 young men who were captured by Donghu and were ready to be brought back as slaves. There are also tens of thousands of war horses captured from the Donghu people in the first war. There are countless armor weapons of all kinds, many of which were looted after breaking through the Liaodong Guard. This time, Feng Ye can be said to have made a fortune in World War I and became well-off.
