Chapter 140: A Month of War
On the endless prairie, a knight was covered in blood, beating his horse and galloping, blood kept dripping from his body, and the blood stains on the white horse's hair under his crotch were terrifying, and behind him, another horse was chasing after him like a gallop. Seeing that the war horse under his crotch was exhausted, and then looking back at the speed of the chasing enemy, the knight was so sad that he would definitely not be able to escape. As soon as he bit the tiger, he circled his horse, stretched out his hand and raised the longbow behind his back, and pulled the bow to draw the string, and the arrow reflected the dazzling light of the sky, bringing out a long flash of light in the sky, and shooting towards the pursuing enemy. As soon as the arrow came out, the knight did not hesitate, and the second arrow, the third arrow flew out immediately after.
The chasing war horse did not have the slightest intention of slowing down, the cold light flashed, a long knife flew in the air, and the two long arrows that followed were cut off in the air, and they went down weakly, and the third arrow flew like lightning, in the eyes of the knight in front of him, the pursuer only slightly sideways, this arrow with a piercing whistling sound, grazed the opponent's body and flew to the rear, submerged in the grass, nailed deeply to the ground, only the tail of the arrow was still trembling.
Three arrows were fired, but they did not achieve the slightest result, and even the effect of slowing down the enemy's speed was not achieved, and the distance between the two sides was close to about 100 meters in this instant, and there was no time to shoot again, the knight drew his scimitar stained with blood on his waist, and roared wildly to ride his horse towards the pursuers.
Since you can't escape, let's die a glorious battle.
The two horses are staggered, the blade reflects the dazzling sunlight in the air, like a lightning flash, the first to fly into the sky is an arm holding a scimitar, the two horses go in reverse, the cavalry horse that has lost its right hand slows down, the knight's eyes are dull, a blood line appears from between the chest and abdomen, in an instant, the blood line is like a sluice gate out of control, blood gushes out, the longbow on the back falls off, and the bowstring that has been broken in two choked to the ground.
As the bowstring fell to the ground, the knight fell from his horse like a stone, lying prone in the grass, and the horse turned around, looked down and sniffed, opened its mouth, bit the knight's suit, and tried to pull the fallen master back up.
The sound of hooves behind him sounded, and the horse immediately let go of its mouth and trotted to the side, a pair of big eyes nervously watching the approaching knight.
The tip of the long knife stretched out, slightly raised, ** The cavalry on the ground was turned over, between the chest and abdomen, already stained with blood, the knife, after cutting off his right hand, the residual momentum was not reduced, breaking the opponent's leather armor, directly disemboweling the opponent, from the cracked between the armor, the internal organs can be faintly seen.
The long knife wiped the blood on the knight's body, and the knight closed his backhand, and with a click, the long knife closed into the scabbard on his back. He raised his head, looked at the bright sunshine in the sky, and took a deep breath, "The fourth!" "
This knight is Gao Yuan, the lieutenant of Fufeng County, after annihilating Latobe, he was silent for nearly three months, Gao Yuan finally showed his fangs, and in a month's time, he crossed the middle area between Donghu and Dayan, and swept the four small tribes of Donghu around him. Thousands of enemies were annihilated, and tens of thousands of Donghu people were captured, and these Donghu captives, Gao Yuan, without exception, were all sent to the Helan Ministry, and in exchange for the war horses of the Helan Ministry. In addition to the gold and silver treasures and war horses and cattle seized from these small tribes, Gao Yuan left behind was the Dayan slaves who had been captured by these tribes over the years by harassing the border of Liaoxi County.
These small tribes are not as good as the Hutu Department of La Tobe, although the Hutu Department has declined, but after all, it was once strong, and there is still a lot of precipitation in the tribe, but compared to Gao Yuan, it is also considered a rich man, from the patriarchal tent of each small tribe, Gao Yuan can always find a lot of wealth, in fact, relative to these, Gao Yuan values those free Dayan slaves, among them, many of them are young and strong, and more importantly, there are many Dayan people who have been taken captive since childhood, and have stayed in the Donghu tribe for a long time, I learned a good riding skill.
Cavalry, this is what Gao Yuan wants the most, but it is really not an easy thing to train a qualified cavalry out, Gao Yuan tried his best to form a cavalry team of 100 people, but in this month or so, he defeated four small tribes of Donghu, but let him easily form a cavalry team of 100 people again, those rescued slaves are not worth mentioning, but a horse skill is not worse than his cavalry.
Can't fight, can't kill the enemy, it doesn't matter, think when Gao Yuan first came to the first team of Fufeng County, what kind of model was that team of 100 people, a group of garbage, didn't he train them out, they have now become the core of his army.
There was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the distance, stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, looked at the sound from afar, and saw the familiar navy blue military uniform, and couldn't help but smile, it was his own army.
The infantry took the lead and galloped over."County Lieutenant." Seeing the dead corpse on the ground, the infantry laughed easily, in today's battle, the knight of the other side was extremely brave, and even killed several people on his own side, broke through, and Gao Yuan was furious, chased after him alone, and threw his subordinates away without a trace, after annihilating the enemy, the infantry hurriedly led the troops to track down, and at this time saw the dead corpse on the ground and unscathed Gao Yuan, and finally put the heart back into his stomach along the way.
"County Lieutenant, this guy is the son of the patriarch of this tribe we just destroyed, a very brave guy, this bastard, killed several of our soldiers, do you want to cut off his head and take it back to show the public." Soldier Trail.
"Forget it! Gao Yuan shook his head, "This guy is a warrior, leave him a whole corpse, his horse is good, catch it back, let's go!" "
"Yes, county lieutenant, which one are we going to do next? I have found out that there are two small tribes not far from us, and they are not very strong." The infantry said with great interest, and the fruitful results of the past month have made all the Fufeng soldiers excited.
"No, rest and recuperate, after a whole month of fighting, the brothers are also tired and need to rest! Gao Yuan shook his head, "Besides, this month, I'm afraid that we have already beaten the Donghu people, maybe the revenge will come back soon. We're going to go back and make some necessary preparations."
"Understood, county lieutenant."
A group of dozens of horsemen returned to the advance camp at sunset, here, which used to be the old camp of Hutu, and now after being reorganized by Gao Yuan, as the advance camp of his own attack on the Donghu tribe, all the seizures were sent here, and then transported back to Curie Pass in a steady stream, and then sent back to Fufeng County from Curie Pass.
The huge camp was filled with captured supplies, livestock, war horses, and endless streams of people came in and out of the old camp, driving herds of cattle and sheep out of the old camp and heading all the way in the direction of Fufeng.
In the past month, Gao Yuan's harvest has been really great, and his wealth has been harvested, although he has been fighting non-stop, and his manpower has been constantly lost, but the new recruits who have been replenished have far exceeded the battle losses, and now the Fufeng soldiers have expanded to 1,500 people, and the cavalry of the infantry has 200 horses, and Gao Yuan has also drawn 20 cavalry from the previous cavalry as his personal entourage, four infantry teams, each team has more than 300 people.
In addition to these, what makes Gao Yuan even happier is that the team's combat effectiveness has improved rapidly, the recruits have begun to become veterans, the captains, and the command ability of the soldiers has made great progress on the bloody battlefield, and the cooperation of the four teams has become more and more skillful. Gao Yuan led dozens of mobile cavalry troops, You Ge on the battlefield, once he found a difficult bone to gnaw, Gao Yuan immediately rode into battle in person, in front of him, there were few Donghu cavalry can block his edge.
The tactics are simple, but they are extremely practical.
Fighting side by side, the friendship watered with blood is the strongest, in the non-stop fighting, Zheng Xiaoyang and Naha have also begun to blend in, and now, the two will also be after a big battle, holding a coarse porcelain bowl, shouting and fighting with Gao Yuan, there is no sense of alienation when he first entered Gao Yuan's command, every time he sees several soldiers under his command Cao Daxiao scuffling together, pouring wine into each other's mouths, Gao Yuan laughed out loud in his heart.
Having been through the same window together, carrying a gun together, and prostituting together, Gao Yuan always involuntarily remembered some classic sentences summed up by the common people in his previous life.
Back to the old camp, the breath has not yet breathed, Cao Tiancheng has been happy to take the account book to Gao Yuan's face, this month's war, the happiest is Cao Tiancheng, he does not go to the battlefield, he can't see the bloody battle of his own soldiers, and he has never witnessed the scene of his brothers falling, that kind of sadness will be much less, in front of him, showing only a number of casualties, but what dazzles his eyes is the rich income, the wealth harvested by the four tribes is already comparable to the income when he took La Tobe, But this time, there is no need to share it with the Helan Ministry, and those Donghu captives sent to the Helan Ministry can be exchanged for more livestock, war horses, and furs.
"County lieutenant, are these three hundred war horses going to be sent to Liaoxi City again?" Cao Tiancheng is very reluctant, these are captured good war horses, and they are given away in vain, so he is really reluctant.
"Send, must send!" Gao Yuan said without hesitation, in the past month, with these three hundred, he has transported a thousand war horses to Liaoxi City, this investment must be sent, these wars launched by himself, someone must endorse him, and now his shoulders are still too immature to bear too many things. Zhang Shouyue always wanted to form a cavalry unit to fight against Donghu, but because he did not have a war horse, and he did what he liked, he had to accept it, as long as he accepted it, he had to endorse his war behavior.
