Volume 1 The Broken Mountains and Rivers of the Kingdom Chapter 97 Annexed
Niu Yong's scalp suddenly tingled when he saw this situation, and it seemed that if he wanted to go back, he would inevitably have to fight these Qin soldiers.
"Brothers, fight with the officers and soldiers, kill."
Niu Yong vigorously waved the dog butcher knife in his hand and killed the oncoming Qin army.
It's just that he had just run a few steps before he found that there were not many people behind him who were going to meet the Qin army with him.
Niu Yong couldn't help but feel depressed for a while, it seems that if he can escape from Ascension this time, he will have to practice hard and seriously with his soldiers.
But after thinking about it, he couldn't take a dozen people to rush and kill the Qin soldiers, so he turned around and ran towards the sparsely populated place in the north.
Because most of the soldiers under his command also ran away from there.
Suddenly, Niu Yong, who was desperately fleeing, and his subordinates heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves behind him, Niu Yong turned his head to look, and couldn't help but blow up his scalp again.
I saw a huge contingent of cavalry running from behind them.
Thousands of horses' hooves flew up the dust on the ground, and these black-armored soldiers rushed out of the dust like heavenly soldiers and rushed towards their own ranks.
Can you still escape?
At this moment, Niu Yong was already disheartened, he turned around and stopped, gave up running, and at the same time lifted the dog butcher knife in his hand and turned his heart sideways.
Both horizontal and vertical are dead, it is better to let these Qin soldiers see that they are dead and a man.
But to his surprise, when the cavalry that came in an instant passed by him, only countless eyes looked at him coldly, and they quickly ran away.
The cavalry passed through the fleeing rebels, forming a large arc that brought the fleeing rebels together.
The fleeing rebels also stopped, holding the weapons in their hands, and looked at these cavalry in fear.
I saw that the cavalry were just running around them, and some of them also put down the Changge in their hands and took out the short bow from their backs.
After shooting and killing a few of these rebels who dared to step forward and try to find a way to escape, not a single one of the 5,000 rebels dared to come forward to meet them.
After a while, only one of these horsemen was heard on horseback, and said in a loud voice:
"Put down your weapons, but you can wait for you to die."
The cavalry around him also shouted to the encircled rebels:
"Lay down your arms."
"Lay down your arms."
Half an hour later, when he came to the rebels and saw nearly 5,000 people sitting listlessly on the ground, he couldn't help but smile.
"Junhou, I see that these people were captured by Brother Wei to be cavalry, so it's better to give them to Brother Wei."
Wei Yuanqi also looked at the soldiers who were quite imposing immediately, and said to Lu Lihua with a smile.
"There's no urgency."
Zhu Lihua pointed to the rebels who were sitting on the ground with their heads bowed and said:
"Most of the people in Shuofang County can ride horses, and some of these people must be able to train as cavalry."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Lihua turned his head to look at Wei Yuanqi, and said with a smile:
"Don't fight the idea of cavalry for the time being, although there are enough horses now, but our army does not have enough food and grass at the moment, and it can't feed too many cavalry."
Zhu Lihua walked forward as he spoke, and after taking a few steps, he turned back to Wei Yuanqi, who was a little disappointed, and said:
"You'll have a cavalry in the future, too."
With that, he walked briskly in the direction of the rebels.
When Wei Yuanqi heard Zhu Lihua's words, he was suddenly shocked, and his face showed ecstasy.
In the past year, especially after coming down from Yuxiao Pass, every time he saw a cavalry duel in battle, Wei Yuanqi's blood would always boil, and he always thought that he could also lead such a lion to fight and gallop on the battlefield.
It seems that this day is not far off.
"Who is Niu Yong?"
Appearing in front of the rebels, he said to the rebels sitting on the ground.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a bearded man sitting on the ground stand up and said:
"So-and-so, if you want to kill, you have to listen to it."
After listening to what the bearded man said, Zhu Lihua also looked at the person in front of him carefully with interest, and then smiled at Niu Yong:
"Bull Leader, are you convinced in today's battle?"
When Niu Yong heard this, he was stunned, he originally thought that the leader of this official army would kill him, but he didn't expect to ask him such a sentence, so he thought about it and replied:
"No, my brethren have not been trained, and they do not have the same equipment and horses as you officers and soldiers, so they are naturally no match for you."
Zhu Lihua's smile was even stronger, and he said slowly:
"Then how about I give you weapons and horses, teach you drills, and take you to revenge?"
When Niu Yong heard this, as if he didn't believe his ears, he looked at the smiling Lihua and then turned his head to look at the brothers around him who also looked incredible, and then hesitated and said to Lihua:
"This general, we are a traitor.....
As soon as he said this, he saw Lu Lihua wave his hand and said:
"No, in my eyes, you are just the people who were forced to flee from Hanhai City due to the invasion of the Rong people.
Now, I will lead you home, and I will take you to kill the people and protect your homeland. ”
Niu Yong's eyes widened, and he said timidly to Zhu Lihua:
"This general, we are people who have killed nobles and cut down officials and soldiers, it is rare for the general to spare us from dying, if we are recruited into the official army, how can we explain to the general's superiors?"
After listening to Niu Yong's unexpected words, Lu Lihua was stunned.
It seems that this Niu Yong is really a figure who has led tens of thousands of people, and he can think of this with a careful mind, which can't help but make him appreciate Niu Yong.
Zhu Lihua smiled and said to Niu Yong: "I'm afraid that within a radius of hundreds of miles, there is no Shangguan that I need to explain."
What's more, the people you killed were just moths that sucked the people's fat and people's ointment, and the sky net was restored, and Qin Lu Zhaozhao had already sentenced them to death, so why should you be wrong.
Aren't those Qin troops who have surrendered to you just here among these people, since they are still alive, how can you talk about slashing and killing the Qin army? ”
"Poof."
I saw that after Niu Yong heard this, his legs were weak and he sat down on the ground.
Zhu Lihua frowned, but found that not only Niu Yong, but even the rebels behind Niu Yong who heard what he said covered their faces and cried after a moment of confusion.
"General, we are good citizens, I didn't want to rebel, but those nobles oppressed me too much, and I was beaten to death by those people because she protected the last bite of food in the family from being taken by them, and we were forced to do so."
Speaking of this, Niu Yong was like a wronged child, crying in front of Zhu Lihua, who was one or twenty years younger than him.
Yu Lihua waved his hand at Wei Yuanqi and Li Ji, who wanted to come forward to stop him, and then took a few steps forward and helped Niu Yong up.
He whispered, "It's over, and no one will oppress you anymore." ”
Three days later, in the government of Hanhai City, Wei Mu said to Zhu Lihua who was watching the military map:
"The Marquis of Zhuli, Wei really convinced you, among these 5,000 people, there are no less than 1,000 people who can skillfully handle horses, these people have grown up on horseback from childhood to adulthood, and they can go into battle to kill the enemy with a little training.
Seeing Wei Mu's excited face, Zhu Lihua shook his head and smiled:
"Brother Wei is in a hurry, let them be foot soldiers first, and then select cavalry from the foot soldiers, so that they can be more adapted to military discipline."
But Wei Mu smiled and said: "Ordinary cavalry should indeed be like this, but in this case, you can't train a cavalry in a year or two."
The military marquis can remember the day before yesterday that those foot soldiers who were temporarily borrowed to ride war horses and pretend to be cavalry, and these soldiers could not even control the horses with one hand.
It was also a rabble, and if it was a soldier, they would fall off their horses without waiting for the battle to start.
And the thousand rebels I have selected in the past three days, they can not only control the horse with one hand, but also can do it with both hands off the horse, holding a bow and arrow, although there is no accuracy at all, but give me three months, they can become real cavalry. ”
Zhu Lihua looked at Wei Mu, who was very excited and talking, so he nodded and said:
"Then let's do what Brother Wei said, but I won't care about this war horse and horse grass, you can figure it out yourself."
"This matter does not bother the military marquis, Shuofang is the origin of war horses, some horse farms in the surrounding remote places have not been affected by the previous war, although the number of horses is not much, but the price is cheap, those horse farm owners can exchange war horses as long as some food.
As for the horse grass, hehe, the military marquis of Yuli didn't know that when the rebels were there, because the horse grass people couldn't eat it, the ownerless horse grass in this Hanhai City was concentrated higher than the city wall, and I had already asked the soldiers to transport it to the camp outside the city. ”
After hearing what Wei Mu said, Zhu Lihua was also very happy, and after watching Wei Mu leave, he called Wei Yuanqi and An Moran and others, and also called Niu Yong.
Niu Yong's soldiers were selected by Wei Mu more than 1,000 people, and the remaining 3,000 people were assigned to Wei Yuanqi and An Moran.
Originally, the leader of this pro-soldier has always been served by Willow Jaw, but since Willow Jaw led the troops, Wei Mu has taken on two positions, and his personal soldiers with Lu Lihua have been used as guards and cavalry.
Now that the supply of troops is sufficient, Lihua asked Wei Mu to train cavalry alone, and re-selected 500 people from the battalion of Wei Yuanqi and others to serve as his own soldiers.
And these people, all of them were handed over to Niu Yong.
Niu Yong was also taken aback by the fact that he had just descended to Lihua and could be the leader of Lihua's own soldiers, and at the same time, he was even more grateful to Dade for Lihua, and he felt that he would repay his kindness with death.
Of course, Lu Lihua has also thought about it for a long time, not to mention that this Niu Yong was able to help his neighbors enthusiastically when he was in Hanhai, just because he was able to avenge his mother, and the filial piety of guarding his blind mother for decades made Lu Lihua feel that this person's character was absolutely trustworthy.
After Wei Yuanqi, An Moran, Li Ji, Liu Jaw and others came to the mansion of Zhu Lihua, Zhu Lihua asked Niu Yong about the situation of Feng Tong and Pucheng.
Niu Yong told the situation of the two counties in detail to Lihua and the others.
When they heard that there were still 5,000 rebels in the two counties who were being trained to surrender to the Qin army, Zhu Lihua and the others were overjoyed.
After receiving Niu Yong's assurance, the two counties would also accept Lihua's recruitment, Lihua immediately sent Gao Yunce, Liang Qingshu, and An Moran with a thousand soldiers and horses to take over the two counties with Niu Yong.
