In front of them was just a battle between thousands of Tumen and hundreds of Wei cavalry, and they knew that the Great Wei was fighting against hundreds of thousands of Mongol cavalry in the north, as well as more than 100,000 or 200,000 Dongyu cavalry.

The cavalry of these hundreds of people in front of him has such a might, if it is thousands, tens of thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of cavalry charging together, what kind of power will it be, what a terrible scene?

Under the threat of hundreds of thousands of cavalry from a strong enemy in the north, the Great Wei has been fighting with the northern nomads for hundreds of decades.

At this time, Luo Fangxiao and others faintly understood why the national strength of Great Wei was getting weaker and weaker...... And although the Tianfang people are also declining, their national strength has surpassed that of the Great Wei?

There are no strong enemies around the Celestial People, Central Asia, West Asia, South Asia, which tribe or country has ever been strong?

Which tribe or nation created a brilliant civilization?

Or which tribe or country is a steppe people, with hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of herdsmen who are good at riding and shooting?

In the west of the Tianfang people are dozens of scattered European countries, over the years through the Renaissance, breaking the shackles and shackles of religion, colonizing overseas, industrial and commercial trade gradually developed, especially the emergence of firearms, began to appear professional soldiers, the knight class turned into a hereditary professional officer family, European countries began to impose maritime power, and can compete with the heavens.

Under this premise, the Tianfang people were frustrated step by step on the land and threatened at sea, so there was the emergence of large-scale Tianfang pirates, who were on the east and west sides, controlling many sea areas such as Manchuria, and they mastered the silk trade routes on land, and at sea, in the rising tide of maritime colonization and trade, they also wanted to continue to master the waterways, control and contain the challenges of emerging forces.

Prior to this, Luo Fangxiao and others had always believed that the Great Wei was big and inappropriate, with a huge land and hundreds of millions of people, but the sailors were getting weaker and weaker, and they could only sit back and watch the development of the Tianfang people in Nanyang and were at a loss.

Now Luo Fangxiao faintly understands that the biggest difference between the Great Wei and the Tianfang people and the Europeans is that the north, northeast, and northwest of the Great Wei are all barbarian tribes, and these nomadic herdsmen, fishing and hunting peoples are barbaric, just like the wild wolves outside people's homes, when there are only one or two of them, it is still very easy to do, if there are hundreds or thousands of wild wolves outside the village, or even more, the village will not be able to do anything else, and can only keep fighting with the wild wolves.

Below the millennium of China, the curve of the entire civilization is almost related to the strong neighbors in the north.

In the pre-Qin period, there were various barbarians who went south, and the powerful Xiongnu were formed in the Han Dynasty, the Turks in the Tang Dynasty, and the Khitans, Mongols, and Jurchens later, wave after wave.

Although the nomads also declined in the end, such as the later Mongols, the Chinese also exhausted their financial resources and energy in the two thousand years of war against the barbarians, and the development of the entire civilization was constrained and affected.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has issued an edict, and the national policy of conservatism and retreat has become the mainstream, because the wealth is used to the essence, and the household registration in the world is halved, which is the price of the Han Wu to fight the Xiongnu.

In the Song Dynasty, the scholars preferred to hand over the territory they had conquered to the barbarians rather than spend the money, food, and troops of the Central Plains to garrison them.

If it is strong enough, in fact, this opinion is also correct, but the external conditions of the Song people are too poor, the Khitan, the party item, and the Jurchen, respectively, are rising, it is the time when the barbarians are flourishing, if the Song people can be conscious, single-mindedly external, let the Central Plains still have financial resources, and are determined to retreat and be conservative, and the demise of this dynasty is almost inevitable.

To the Great Wei, tried its best to open the sea to develop industry and commerce, and paid heavy taxes internally, but fortunately, it also resisted the barbarian pressure of the north, the east and the west, and maintained a successful defense policy for nearly three hundred years.

The north is not yet appeased, and it really does not dare to say that the sea will be opened, unless it is to liberalize power, but that is different from the path that China has been taking, and it is impossible.

Luo Fangxiao said in a deep voice: "I only know today that the real battlefield is like this, if you go back to Lanfang, you should truthfully report to the prince of the country." ”

The rest of the people also felt the same way, and they all nodded their heads.

……

The place where the collision was full of corpses, Mana was kicked in the chest by the front hooves of a war horse, and when he heard a crisp sound, he flew up, and then he didn't know who was there.

Mana woke up after half a ring, and then he found himself lying in the pile of corpses, surrounded by moans and dying gasps, the strong smell of blood rushed to Mana and wanted to vomit, he felt a stinging pain in his chest, and knew that it might be several broken ribs, this level of injury in the past would not make Mana feel anything great at all, he was the most brave tribal warrior, he was once hit by a wild boar, and broke several ribs, at that time he didn't think it was a big deal, he picked up his spear and stabbed the wild boar to death on the spot, Aroused the cheers and admiration of all the men of the tribe.

This time the counterattack was jointly launched by the elders of more than a dozen large tribes and dozens of small tribes around after a meeting, gathering nearly 5,000 strong men, each tribe had people, and there were some tribes deep in the mountains, the poor jingle sounded, and there was not even an iron spear, and the soldiers also rushed over with stone spears and stone axes.

Since it was a few thousand against a few hundred, although there were cavalry on large horses on the opposite side, everyone was very high at the beginning, and they were full of anger towards the Wei people.

When they saw the iron cavalry charging, many people were scared half to death, a man like Mana had several lives on hand, all of them were human heads hunted in rival tribes, and even more prey was killed, and he was used to seeing life and death, and nothing would have made him afraid.

But when the cavalry crushed over like an iron wall, the tip of the jab was flattened, and the cavalry charged, Mana was already trembling, thinking that he was about to turn and flee.

It's the fear of completely suppressing one's own power, and nothing else.

When Mana was trampled away by the iron horseman, he lay on the ground, and had no desire to get up again.

Many of the wounded heard the sound of the military horn again, and they also cautiously lay down again, and it was too dangerous to get up at this time.

With some guilt and shame, Mana quietly half-propped up and looked to the east.

The three columns of Wei troops had regrouped about three hundred and fifty paces away, when a trumpet sounded, and the large array began to jog, and the Wei rangers dispersed, leaving on the other side to shoot the panicked and fleeing natives.

After regrouping, the three groups of cavalry lined up in an unusually orderly manner, and this time the trumpets sounded, and the cavalry began to charge towards the natives on the left.

This time the charge was even more effective, almost none of the natives dared to resist in person, and when the three columns of cavalry charged, a large number of natives directly began to flee in all directions.

More than 400 cavalry swept the left flank again like an iron shabu, leaving behind a large number of corpses, and the blood hung on the turquoise turf, which was dazzling and conspicuous.

By the time the cavalry had assembled and were ready to charge the right flank, the natives had collapsed.

This time the big assembly, is the aborigines in the lure of the enemy failed, but was burned by the Wei people under the premise of the village, many villages in the vicinity of the righteous indignation to gather to find the Wei people's bad luck, as a result of the cavalry twice swept away, the natives who had no power to fight back injured less than ten cavalry, only a few iron cavalry were tripped and dismounted when charging into the formation, fell into serious injuries, in addition, no one from the Wei people fell off their horses, and no one was injured.

Under such a gap, no matter how brave the natives were, they did not want to lose their lives in vain, and when the cavalry charged again, the natives had no intention of resisting, and by the time the third team was completed, only corpses were scattered on the ground and all kinds of tattered discarded, as well as the wounded lying on the ground.

At this time, the trumpet sounded again, and the natives of the valley saw four large flags fluttering again.

The infantry soldiers of the government army who wore cotton armor or leather armor, or gray arrow robes, also heard the news of the battle and were ordered to rush to the battlefield.

Rushing to the four infantry battalions, more than 2,000 people, due to the long-term queue training and golden drum banner training, walking in the banner, walking in the banner, carrying a long shoulder, or holding a sword and shield, or a bow, crossbow, but walking up the infantry array is much more neat than the cavalry array.

In the sound of brass trumpets and drums, along the undulating hills, over the grass and shrubs, over the hills, behind him was the smoke and fire, the blue sky overhead, and the long sword in his hand, although most of the soldiers in the battalion were new soldiers, at this moment there was a courage born from the soles of the feet, up to the top of the skull.

This is also the reason why Xu Zixian ordered the Second Army to come, one battalion of the Second Army is half of the old soldiers, and the remaining three battalions are about thirty percent of the old soldiers with seventy percent of the new soldiers.

There are still two battalions being recruited, and if they go to the Eastern Domain, they will also be integrated into the Second Army.

By the end of the year, it is estimated that six battalions of one army will be full.

If Xu Zixian's plan had not been wrong, by the summer and autumn of next year, in addition to six infantry battalions, each army would also have a cavalry battalion and a ballista battalion, cavalry charging formations to guard the flanks and artillery arrays, and the ballista battalion would mainly use strong crossbow and bronze cannons to strengthen the ability of long-range strikes.

Even if they are new soldiers, the training period is more than a month, and most of them are recruited in Nan'an and Penghu, and start cohort training on the spot, including familiarization with internal affairs and military law regulations, and then physical training, which generally takes a month to get acquainted.

Then enter the military camp of the Eastern Domain, and begin to go deep into the training of physical fitness, queues, formations, golden drums, flags, combat skills and other subjects.

There is a next one for each subject to be completed, and the time of the recruit camp is as long as six months, even if the six-month period expires, it is still a regular soldier, but it cannot be called a veteran soldier.

Only when they have been on the battlefield and seen the battle formation, these new pawns will be called old pawns and placed in a relatively important position on the battlefield.

Ge Da's army was formed a little later than the first army, and there were fewer old soldiers, but the training time was more than two months, and when they walked through the hills and bushes, the flags were unfurled, the queue was not chaotic, and the appearance of the elite division was at least.

In the sound of neat drums, the foot soldiers arrived at the battlefield two quarters of an hour later, Ge Cunzhong and the deputy commander controlled Ge Cunyi, and then the battalion officer Li Xingwu, Dong Ruixiang and others all rode forward and saluted Xu Zi on the slope first.

"Excuse me." Xu Zixian controlled the reins with one hand, and the war horse slowly moved forward, and he said to the Ge family brothers and others: "The infantry cleans the battlefield, the dead cut off their heads and base Jingguan, the seriously injured also cut off their heads, and the lightly injured don't kill, just let them go." ”

"Yes, we will obey the princes and generals." Ge Cunzhong clenched his fists and agreed, and then ordered the Chinese officers to send a cavalry to pass on all the orders.

The cavalry slowly ran towards the mouth of the valley in the distance, cutting off the easiest way for the natives to escape, and at the same time shooting the natives on the slope with bows and arrows, driving away the scattered natives completely.

The infantry, to the beat of the drums, began to spread out in arrays and lined up in a long, multi-mile horizontal formation, and they would begin to clean up the battlefield.

Luo Fangxiao couldn't help but say: "Why does the prince cut off the heads of the dead and the seriously injured, but let go of the lightly injured?" ”

"Seriously injured cannot be treated." Xu Zixian said: "Our seriously wounded soldiers spent dozens or hundreds of dollars, and two or three were rescued in ten miles." This money, we are worth it. Take this money to save the natives, forgive me for not being so generous. Cutting off the head of the fortress Jingguan, this is to deter the natives, they only believe in this, and these tribes are also constantly attacking each other, often cutting off each other's heads...... Saying that everything else is false, here is a human head Jingguan, and they can understand it. ”

"Then why did you let go of the lightly injured ones?"

"Huh." Xu Zixian laughed and said, "Fang Xiao, did you fight when you were a child?" ”

"This, naturally, has been beaten."

"Did you think about the consequences before you got into a fight?"

"I don't seem to have thought much about ......"

"Oh, you are the prince of the family, you don't have to think about the consequences." Xu Zixian smiled and said, "If you were from a poor background, would you beat those princely brothers?" If you hit someone, will you want to make amends and lose money? If someone is tall and strong, will you still fight with others? ”

Luo Fangxiao was a little confused, and couldn't keep up with Xu Zixian's thoughts for a while......

"There are some things that can be thought of in reverse." Xu Zixian continued: "The local people fight with us, and they are resentful for a hundred years, and we will always fight at the foot of their mountain." Fight a fight, know that we are stronger, know that we are taller than them, stronger than them, do you still want to fight? From my point of view, the most important purpose is to fight a fight and teach the natives a lesson, so that they will not dare to attack, so that our development plan can be carried out smoothly. And this goal is not to kill people, let alone go to the mountains to grab territory. They are poor and don't even have pants, and unless I'm a murderer who takes pleasure in killing, I won't go out into the mountains to clean up the natives...... I can't put hundreds of thousands of troops in the mountains. In this way, we can drag our strength to death. So, let the lightly injured go back, this is a kind of signal...... Don't die, there's something to discuss. ”

Luo Fangxiao was dumbfounded, but he faintly felt that Nan Anhou's idea in front of him was right.

Shock, Huairou, fight and talk, this is probably the best way.
