Chapter 574: Joy

Gongsun Yi looked at the opponent without the slightest defense, and couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, the first army as the vanguard of the Eastern Army, the equipment of all the soldiers, Gao Yuan can be regarded as a bloody investment, compared to the other troops of the Eastern Army, they are absolutely ahead, like them, these cavalry, can not be like the infantry to wear heavy armor, so too heavy, not conducive to the cavalry galloping, the battle is not flexible enough, so can only wear leather armor, but these leather armor is a little different from the general, in the key parts of the body, easy to fatal, are inlaid with iron plates, Don't underestimate this small change, on the battlefield, it can save lives.

In this way, the cost is not large, but the trouble is to make zuò, and the process is much more cumbersome.

If this special leather armor can save lives, then in the hands of the Eastern Army, it has become a standard weapon of the crossbow is a thing that kills people, this kind of Donghu is small, the range is not far, but it is better to be able to fire continuously, and the heavy armor that can't shoot through the foot soldiers, but for the general leather armor worn by the cavalry, it can be fatal with one blow.

Gongsun Yi bullied the Wusu Department for not fighting with the Eastern Army, and he didn't know much about the details of the Eastern Army, so he deliberately put on such a position to lure the opponent to rush over without sparing.

Facts have proved that Gongsun Yi's plan completely calculated the opponent's reaction.

The half-moon shape is unfolded, the deepest in the middle, and the opponent's cone-shaped offensive formation will go to this deepest place, and the entire offensive formation will be deeply immersed in the half-moon area, and it is easy to chisel through, but the problem is that the blow surface they have to withstand is also too large.

Aaron didn't know that the opponent deliberately set a trap, looking at the opponent's formation, he screamed excitedly, took the lead, plunged deep into the deepest depths, and killed straight towards that depression.

At this moment, the continuous sound of currin rang out steeply. The two wings of the conical array of the Wusu Division were completely exposed to the rain of arrows of the Eastern Army.

Three consecutive shots, Gongsun Yi shot the three consecutive crossbows in the hands of hundreds of cavalry under his command at one time.

The complete pouring naturally brings fruitful results. The unsuspecting Arun tribe suffered heavy losses in the first place.

This was the first time Aaron had seen the Eastern Army riding a crossbow, and it was also the last time he saw it. Because Gongsun Yi appeared directly in front of him, and there were nearly ten crossbows aimed at Aaron.

If the general takes the lead in the charge, he must be prepared to be the first to die.

When the sound of the crossbow sounded, Aaron saw a short crossbow arrow like a flying locust, and at this time, he was less than twenty paces away from the other party, and with the scimitar in his hand, he flew most of the crossbow arrows, but on his own. The war horse was still pierced by dozens of dense crossbow arrows, and the horse was planted like a blood gourd.

In just one round of attacks, more than a hundred Donghu cavalry fell, the neat attack formation was swept away, and the cavalry on the periphery was almost swept away.

As soon as the battle began, the Donghu cavalry, who was full of confidence in their field combat ability, found that the opponent's ability was not inferior to their own at all. Even if they face each other, they can't take advantage of it in the slightest. And in front of them, there is only half of all the enemies they need to face, and on the other side. Hundreds of enemy horsemen were roaring and pounced.

The Donghu cavalry who came out were wrapped in dumplings by the Eastern Army, and none of them escaped, and those who were lucky enough to break out of the encirclement were also caught up and shot one by one.

The battle lasted only a few cups of tea before it ended. Gongsun Yi was full of smiles, looking at Luo Lei, who was lost and unrecalled, and was very happy. Luo Lei, who didn't drink the first soup, even if he worked hard in the later battles, it had nothing to do with the overall situation.

"Well done!" Xu Yuan rode a horse in front of Gongsun Yi and praised him without hesitation. Although this battle seemed to be a battle without suspense in Xu Yuan's eyes, Gongsun Yi was able to do it so cleanly, just a small trick, which made the war a lot easier, and still made Xu Yuan happy.

It is best to be able to reduce casualties among their own brothers, and after a long time, the generals of the Eastern Army have all suffered from the same problem, cherishing the soldiers in their hands, especially the veterans, which are the backbone of the army.

After the restructuring of the Eastern Army, in addition to the officers, they were ordinary soldiers, and they were also divided into different ranks, each different rank corresponded to a different salary, and this one under Xu Yuan had no recruits, and the worst was also a second-class soldier, that is, he had fought a battle and won the enemy's head.

"Clean up the battlefield, especially the war horses, put them away, and you will need them later." Xu Yuandao.

Chen Bin has been here since this morning, his right eyelid is jumping non-stop, his left eye is jumping for wealth, and his right eye is jumping for disaster, which is not a good sign, and his heart has been irritated. Later, when Aaron was seen pouring out with almost all the cavalry here, this uneasiness rose to the top.

Chen Bin is a member of the Yan Army's standing army, and he does not need to work in the fields like ordinary soldiers here, but needs to manage the Yan soldiers working here. Although the Yan army was disarmed, it was different from ordinary prisoners of war and needed to be returned to the Yan people, so in each cantonment land, a low-level general of the former Yan army was placed to assist in management, which was also the meaning of alleviating the contradiction between the Yan prisoners of war and the Donghu people.

I have to say that Thorpe's trick is very effective, and seeing that there are still their own generals here, the prisoners of war feel a lot more at ease. After the beginning of spring, these prisoners of war An An divided the land for the Wusu Department to reclaim tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, and in the early autumn, they could harvest grain.

In the whole camp, it can be said that it is extremely empty now, only a dozen Donghu cavalry are left to sway here, Chen Bin stood on a high ground, looking at the dense soldiers below who were sweating like rain, and his heart was even more irritated, for them, there is no difference between idle and busy farmers, the land where crops have been planted was reclaimed by them last winter, and now they have grown seedlings, and now, they need to reclaim new fields.

Chen Bin felt that this was an extremely humiliating thing, he was born in a poor family, starting from a lowest-level soldier, and rose to the position of a general step by step, and he also knew that a general like him, who had some ability, but had no way, was already the highest position he could go. Originally, the battle of conquering Donghu made him see hope, this kind of war to destroy the country is the easiest to make meritorious contributions, if he can show a good performance, it is not impossible to go further, it must be on the battlefield, and people like him are the best when they can exert their skills.

As the general Kumamoto fought all the way to the city of Helin, many of his comrades-in-arms fell, and he survived by luck, but at this time, he wanted to die under the city of Helin, maybe he felt better. Where is there such a place as now, where no one lives, no ghost lives. If General Kumamoto hadn't stayed behind and personally selected them to be responsible for pacifying the soldiers at the various cantonment sites, he would have quit a long time ago.

In the eyes of those people in the country, these people are naturally more expensive, and those who have no way out like themselves are afraid that they will stay in this ghost place for five years, and after five years, they may still be alive, but these soldiers below do not know how many people can still live.

Looking at the sweaty soldiers, Chen Bin was not without gloom, although he could also eat enough, but he must be in a foreign land, not adapting to the water and soil, the most afraid is to get sick, those Donghu people have very few doctors, once sick, their easiest way to deal with it is to throw people far away, let them fend for themselves. Because they are afraid of contagion.

In the nearly half year since I came here, hundreds of soldiers have disappeared like this.

It's okay to die here, and when you return to China like this, you really don't have a face to see people. Chen Bin thought with a wry smile.

The ground trembled slightly, it was a signal that the cavalry was approaching, Chen Bin turned around and looked into the distance, those Donghu people pulled out the whole army early in the morning, and they didn't know what they were going to do, but now that they are back, they have to see what they are doing. For him, the Donghu people did not deliberately leave trouble, on the contrary, they were very polite, thinking that they also understood that these thousands of prisoners of war needed to be appeased by themselves.

Chen Bin, who turned around, saw the approaching cavalry in the distance, but when he first looked over, he froze.

That's not the cavalry of the Donghu people, that's the Yan army, that's the banner of the Eastern Army.

In the battle with Donghu last year, Chen Bin has always been at the forefront of the battle, Zhou Yuan, in order to cover Zhou Yu's retreat, ordered Kumamoto's troops to attack and Lin regardless of a qiē, Xiongbu suffered heavy losses, and later ordered the whole army to surrender, they were completely cut off from the outside news, and they did not know the previous entanglement between the Yan army and the Zhengdong Army, for him, the Zhengdong Army was a friendly army on their left flank, and attacked Donghu with them. Later, the entire Middle Route Army was defeated and lost, but the left and right Route Army had no news, and they were strictly controlled, and they did not have any sources, even if a low-level general like him later had a certain freedom, but he did not see a soldier of the Left and Right Route Army, originally he thought that the Middle Route Army was forced to surrender with such a strong strength, and the weak left and right Route Army must have been wiped out.

But he actually saw the banner of the Eastern Army today.

The moment he was stunned, those cavalry got closer to him, and Chen Bin could see it very clearly, these Eastern Expeditionary Army were fully armed, and what shocked him even more was that on their bodies, on the fluttering banners, the blood splashed on them was so conspicuous. They had fought not so long ago, and they had won.

Who their opponents are, naturally, is self-evident.

At that moment, Chen Bin was completely shocked by the great joy and stiffened, like a clay sculpture and wood carving, completely losing his thoughts. (To be continued......)
