Chapter 98: Snowballing
It was only a night's rest in Wufeng Village, and the army returned the next day.
Wufeng Village is too close to Xiangyang City, and it is impossible not to attract the attention of the masters in the city.
But this kind of dog-eat-dog thing, those uncles are happy to watch the show, and even want to throw bones.
This time, except for the 100 bandits who killed more than 30 people and wounded more than 20 people, the Niu team and the loyal team did not suffer any casualties.
This made Qin Yu scream in his heart, so after killing more than a hundred bandits, the remaining four hundred people all joined the cannon fodder team with honor.
The more than 300 women were also brought back, after all, those who were robbed up the mountain by the bandits are still somewhat beautiful, and it is not bad to raise them for a while to be concubines for their subordinates in the future.
Due to the full preparation this time, more than 500 Han carts were hired, plus the original mule and horse carts in the cottage, and some borrowed from nearby large households, resulting in the almost emptying of Wufeng Village.
Even the leader of the door plate Qin was eager to take it off, and the red warbler was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
"Niu, are there any war horses in the other cottages in Nanzhang?"
"What do you want to do?"
"Humph! You don't care what I do, just answer the questions, this time I only caught eight war horses, and I haven't held you accountable for lying to me. ”
"There must be, the head of the house will generally get a war horse to ride as a hero, but there are not many, at most three or four, some cottages are poor, maybe one."
"As long as there is, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, and then you will take the bear team and those prisoners, sweep all the bandit cottages in Nanzhang County for me, and snatch all the war horses, and maybe Yang Tianlin will defect to other cottages."
Qin Yu waved his hand, then stared at her and smiled.
He decided to beat the rabbits with grass and kill all the bandit cottages in Nanzhang.
Because the war horses in the south are too difficult to get, even Guo Biao said that he can still do one or two, and if there are more, there is nothing he can do.
In general, large families only have mules and horses and bantam horses to pull carts, and only a few people will buy war horses.
It can be seen that those literati have lost all the blood of their ancestors, and they can't even ride horses.
Big families disdain to ride horses, and those who want to ride can't afford them, so some military attaches and reckless people are willing to spend money to buy Mongolian horses.
And now that Monan Mongolia has been conquered by Jiannu, there are even fewer Mongolian horses flowing into the pass.
"Good!"
Hongying was still a little resistant, after all, the villages had a good relationship with Wufeng Village before, and some masters even knew her, but after hearing that it was possible to catch Yang Tianlin, she gritted her teeth and nodded.
So, in the next half month, the bandits and bandits in Nanzhang County also followed in the footsteps of their colleagues in Gucheng.
Bandit cottages were breached, money and livestock, women were captured, and they were constantly escorted to Blackstone Town.
Qin Yu didn't bother to go in person at all, he just asked Hongying to fight with the bandits who had surrendered.
The five musketeers took turns to help, and the Ox and Tigers also alternated on the field, and finally even five hundred new boys went to collect the corpses.
The heroes of the villages who were killed were crying fathers and mothers, and they fled to other states and counties, and the Qin leaders stopped at this time.
The gentry in the county were naturally happy to watch the show, but the county magistrate Lu was frowning deeply and a little worried.
Although the bandits and bandits of the county order have been exterminated, they have strengthened the gang of small thieves, so they know that this is not a good thing, but thinking that they will leave office in March, they finally endured it.
And on the riverside grass outside Blackstone Town, looking at the horses grazing with their heads down, Qin Yu's mouth was so happy that he couldn't close it.
plus the more than 50 horses in the cottage, there are finally enough 100 war horses.
However, when he caught a glimpse of nearly 2,000 big men who were munching rice in the open space not far away, his brows couldn't help frowning.
These two thousand people are all heroes from all villages captured by Hongying this time, and some treacherous and cunning people and the backbone of the family have been killed by him, otherwise there will only be more.
For these people, Qin Yu is really tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon them.
After all, these guys are all tall and big, and they have all seen blood, many of them are outlaws, and they are suitable for cannon fodder.
But they all stayed, and the target was too big, which was easy to arouse the suspicion of the imperial court, not to mention that it was not easy to manage, the key was that he was afraid of bringing his young soldiers and crop soldiers.
If it weren't for the fact that those five hundred teenagers were about to leave the school last time, he would never have wanted these people.
"How? These horses are good, aren't they? The red warbler walked up from behind with a smile, and this time it was a high-spirited person.
"Well, yes, you've been doing well these days." Qin Yu nodded.
The young soldiers and young soldiers had almost no losses, they had been trained again, and they had so much money, food, supplies, horses, and women in vain, what was he not satisfied with?
"Alas! In the past, if it wasn't for my father-in-law, I wasn't allowed to do it, and I couldn't do it, and I'm afraid that this Nanzhang County would have been fought a long time ago. ”
Hongying sighed, then looked at him and said with a little nervousness: "Discuss something, I want to pick a hundred people from those rescued sisters to form a cavalry, okay?" ”
"Pick women to form cavalry?"
Qin Yu looked at her like a fool, and couldn't help but recall the scene when he asked the Eight Kings to form a firearms battalion and then recruit orphans.
Could it be that this girl also has a backbone in the back of her head and wants to start a new business in the future?
Hongying didn't know what he thought, but said angrily: "Don't look down on women, let me tell you, in fact, cavalry, women are more suitable than men." ”
"Fart, just those delicate little girls, Lao Tzu alone can cut her ten hundred!"
"You..."
Hongying's face was flushed, and her hand was on the hilt of the sword, wanting to draw her sword to compare with him, but in the end she suppressed her anger.
"Don't believe it, just like a black bear, if a war horse runs for a quarter of an hour at most, he will be tired and out of breath, but carrying a woman can run for an hour in one breath, and it is also more flexible, greatly reducing the risk of the horse stumbling forward.
Also, women are thin and small, and it is easier for them to dodge knives and guns than men on horses, so they can reduce damage, and I won't believe me..."
As she spoke, the red warbler called the black bear not far away, then turned over and galloped back and forth on the grass.
Sometimes it hides under the belly of the horse, sometimes it hides on the side, and sometimes it jumps high on the horse, at least three or four meters, one meter and five meters high.
Qin Yu was stunned, looked at the black bear's head, and had to admit that what this girl said really made some sense.
"Black Bear, tell the Chief, can you be like me just now?"
"No, no, no, if I don't fall to my death, the war horse will also fall to death!"
The black bear shook its head like a wave drum.
"How? Believe it now! ”
"Well, women do have an innate advantage over riding, but women have much less strength than men, and how many times can they swing a knife?"
"You don't understand this, right, who told you that cavalry should be like infantry, holding a knife and slashing hard? Optimistic..."
As she spoke, the red warbler put on a saber, grabbed the horse's belly, and ran out of the horse, running to a flock of sheep in the distance.
I saw blood splashing, and in less than a moment, more than a dozen sheep all fell on the grass, with a long and deep blood mouth on their bodies, and the red warbler did not raise a knife at all.
"You stinky, you just need to kill one head, why kill them all?"
Qin Yu was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded, these sheep are all used to replenish the body of the teenagers.
However, he also understood that the cavalry really did not need to raise their swords to chop, they only needed to use the speed of the horse, aim the blade at the target and drag it.
So the size of the strength can really be ignored, not to mention that he knows that the real cavalry duel is actually only one or two rounds.
Like that on horseback, hundreds of rounds of battles are just legends.
If the horses are the same, the riding skills are not much different, and the tall and mighty man is riding on the horse, and the two sides are rushing to kill, and they may not be able to beat the petite woman.
And once you can't beat it, you can't run away, and you are definitely good at chasing and killing the rout, as for riding and shooting, there are not many people in Daming who can play around.
