270: Beasts
Vice General Cao, like Xiao Siye, is a person who grew up in the military camp since childhood. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
They have seen too many royal nobles who claim to be proficient in tactics, and they like to talk on paper the most.
When you really see how bloody the battlefield is, your legs will be weak and you won't dare to move.
There is no longer the arrogant and conceited look of weekdays.
Vice General Cao does not believe in Zhou Yinzhu and will be an exception.
From the bottom of his heart, he has always despised this unlearned prince.
If Zhou Yinzhu is not the prince, then ...... Such a person must be a ruffian hooligan.
Although Vice General Cao also knew that he should not refute the words of a prince so directly, he couldn't help but sarcastically reply, "I'm looking forward to seeing the tactics you have arranged, Eighth Prince!"
"I'm looking forward to it too!" Zhou Yinzhu was in high spirits, not caring at all about Vice General Cao's tone.
He's really looking forward to it.
In the middle of the night, the entire county town was shrouded in a strange atmosphere, even if the bright moon was in the sky, the people in the city still hid in the house early, not daring to play and wander.
The silence in the city was extremely quiet, and there was no festive atmosphere approaching Chinese New Year's Eve.
In the bright night, Zhou Yinzhu's body seemed to be shrouded in a faint layer of silver, his mouth was biting the grass that he picked out of nowhere, and he said to the people around him gloomily, "Look, it's almost there." ”
Xiao Siye frowned, and the longbow he held in his hand was extremely cold.
He didn't quite understand Zhou Yinzhu's arrangements today, but he was looking forward to a battle that was 'premeditated' by them in the future.
As soon as Zhou Yinzhu's words fell, a hurried sound of horses' hooves was heard in the forest not far away.
Xiao Siye looked at Zhou Yinzhu in disbelief, "How do you know that they will raid at this time?"
"Phew. Zhou Yinzhu replied perfunctorily, "Because they want to take things from Da Chu and have a good meal in Chinese New Year's Eve...... Dreaming, how can the people of Dachu give them what they have worked hard for a year!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the flames flared up.
The originally quiet county town was shattered by the sound of fighting.
………………………………………………
The battle reports of the county town came into the capital in waves after waves, and the most surprising thing was that the Dongyi people actually participated in this battle.
The first battle between the Eighth Prince and Xiao Siye in the county town was against the Dongyi people.
Emperor Wan Qi held the jade pendant in his hand, and looked at the old lady of Wen'anhou Jiang not far away with dark eyes, and his voice did not have any emotion, "Didn't you say that the first battle was against the people of the Laiyi tribe? It's really ridiculous...... Look at what it says!"
As he spoke, Emperor Wan Qi threw the battle report on Old Lady Jiang's face.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from Old Lady Jiang's forehead, and he trembled and picked up the battle report and read it carefully.
The war report is very clear.
The first battle was an absolute victory for the Great Chu, and the Dongyi people were defeated and lost the most important cavalry unit.
Actually, the reason is very simple.
Although the cavalry of the Dongyi people is powerful, the Dongyi people live in the deep mountains, and these domesticated horses often shuttle deep in the forest, and have a certain fear of the beasts hidden in the mountains. Although these horses were afraid of the beasts of the woods, they were more courageous and warlike than the horses of North Vietnam...... After all, in the mountains all year round, his physical strength is naturally good, and he is very resilient.
However, their weaknesses were thoroughly explored by the Eighth Prince.
Although there were only 5,000 cavalry in Dachu this time, these 5,000 horses were covered with animal skins.
There are tiger skins, leopard skins, wolf skins...... These hides are well preserved, and they are attached to horses, and they look like wild beasts running wild in the mountains in the night, which is very spectacular.
Da Chu's horses were not raised in the mountains, but they were also a little afraid of the residual breath on these animal skins, and needed some adaptation period.
Although they are afraid, they are not as dark as the horses of the Dongyi and Laiyi, as if they have a shadow in their hearts.
In the dim night, the Dongyi people brought 15,000 heavy cavalry, thinking that they would win an absolute victory, but because of the appearance of this "beast team", their tactics were completely disrupted.
Horses have better eyesight than people.
After Dongyi's war horse smelled the breath on the animal skin, it began to mess with itself, and finally began to escape......
In an instant, the fifteen-thousand-strong cavalry lost their combat effectiveness, and it also caused trouble for the infantry behind.
Dongyi's general didn't know the reason why the war horses would go crazy at first, but he only discovered these after the cavalry of Da Chu approached.
"How, how could it be...... So many hides. Dongyi's general couldn't believe everything in front of him, and the war horses covered with animal skins stood in front of him quite spectacularly.
In the firelight, his face turned pale.
Although he knew that Da Chu was rich, he didn't know that Da Chu could have so many animal skins.
In Dongyi, every animal skin is a priceless treasure, and only the great nobles can have it.
But Da Chu can take out so much, and he doesn't care about the value of putting it on the battlefield.
Seeing this, Old Lady Jiang took a breath of cold air.
Where did these thousands of hides come from?
He thought about it, and immediately thought of the Bai family.
Now, only the Bai family in Da Chu has such financial resources and ability.
If Bai Congjian wants to collect animal skins, it is not a difficult task.
It's just that that's thousands of hides!
Did Bai Congjian start doing this when he became the head of the Bai family?
Old lady Jiang didn't dare to think about it.
"Check it out. Emperor Wan Qi gritted his teeth, "Where did these animal skins come from!"
"Your Majesty, you can't check it!" Old Lady Jiang knelt in front of Emperor Wan Qi, "Now that General Xiao and the Eighth Prince have won, even the national teachers of the Laiyi clan are willing to sit down and talk with them. If this is the time, we will go to investigate the affairs of the Eighth Prince and General Xiao, once it is discovered...... Your Majesty, this is not good for you. ”
Emperor Wanqi's reputation among the people is not good.
Although, the reputation of the eighth prince Zhou Yinzhu is not very good.
But because this battle was so beautiful, there were not hundreds of injured people on the Dachu side, while the Dongyi people lost tens of thousands of war horses. This kind of absolute and overwhelming victory can only be found in myths.
Zhou Yinzhu's reputation has gradually improved because of this incident.
What scared Old Lady Jiang the most was actually Fourth Master Xiao.
Xiao Siye has been on the battlefield for many years and has made a lot of military achievements, if something happens to Xiao Siye at this time, then there will be chaos in the country.
"Unfavorable?" Emperor Wan Qi smiled, "Is there anything more disadvantageous for me than now?"
Emperor Wan Qi said, "I don't believe they can win me. ”
After saying that, Emperor Wan Qi frowned, as if he was in great pain, and his hands trembled.
He shouted, "Where's my medicine?
