43. The Law of the Prairie
……
"Woo woo woo~"
In the early morning, in the pastoral area of the Special Concession Department, a sharp horn sounded in the sky.
The next moment, the curtains of felt bags were quickly lifted, and soldiers in full armor and high spirits burst out from within.
After last night's "decompression", the cavalry on the expedition outside the fortress at this time were all in good spirits, with a huge sense of satisfaction on their faces.
In the cowhide tent, Liu Ce put on his iron-armored robe, glanced at the two women who were sleeping in their clothes on a cotton blanket and had not woken up, and then walked out of the tent without looking back.
"Phew~"
War horses roared in the pastoral area, and in the distance, neat columns of cavalry were ready to set off on a new journey.
"Greetings to the General!"
Seeing Liu Ce coming to the formation, all the cavalry held their heads high and shouted in unison, worshipping him from the bottom of their hearts.
Liu Ce glanced coldly at a young knight in front of him, there were people of the Great Zhou and people of Hu, and now these people were all soldiers under his command.
No matter what, now that you are in this strange land outside the Seychelles, you must always be cautious, take every step well, and be sure to bring more people back to the Guannai.
"Did you rest all last night?"
"Rest!"
"You're satisfied, aren't you?"
"Thank you, General!"
"Do you have the energy now?"
"Follow the general, never give up!"
"Do you want to continue to live like this?"
"Yes! Hey, hey, hey......"
Speaking of this, the army couldn't help but snicker, many of these people were young people who had experienced the taste of women for the first time, and recalled everything that happened last night as if in a dream.
When Chu Zijun gave Liu Ce's order to them, both the new annex army and the Jingwei battalion were dumbfounded, and they couldn't believe that the general, who had always been strict with the army, would actually allow everyone to do such a thing.
But when Chu Zijun delivered the two most beautiful women in the pastoral area to Liu Ce's big tent, everyone understood that this was true, and immediately the emotions that they had suppressed for a long time completely exploded......
Seeing that their answers were crisp and powerful, Liu Ce nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, if you want to continue to live such a life, then follow me to completely conquer this grassland outside the Saiwai, here, you can do whatever you want!"
For every tribe you conquer, the wealth of the women in it belongs to you, and this is the reward you deserve! And the power I have given you!
Here, you don't need to abide by etiquette and education, all you have to do is to be more ferocious and bloody than the Hulan people! This is the law of grassland survival, the strong are supreme! You'll have to adapt to the environment as soon as possible! ”
"Drink! Drink! Drink! ”
More than 17,000 cavalrymen heard Liu Ce's shout, and the cheers were like waves, breaking through the sky.
"But!"
Liu Ce waved his hand to stop their roaring.
"While I grant you this right, you must obey my commands in full and unconditionally! Whatever I say, you must do it, and even if you are sent to your death, you must not frown! That's the price, can you do it? ”
"But with the general's drive, absolutely obey the order!"
The echo was sonorous and powerful, and Liu Ce looked at it with a resolute expression.
"Good!" Liu Ce stepped onto the war horse, pulled out the Han sword at his waist and pointed at the corner of the vast grassland, and shouted loudly, "Then follow General Ben and go to the next tribe!" ”
"Whoa......"
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses galloped out of the pasture, leaving an empty pasture, and only the roaring hooves echoed in the ears of the women inside.
At the entrance of the cowhide tent, Anu and the Hu Nu, who came to sleep together last night, looked at the departing figure of the army, and their hearts could not be calm for a long time.
"That young man, you didn't touch me, why is that ......" Anu muttered to herself, her eyes full of confusion, she couldn't understand what had happened last night.
Also incomprehensible was the bearded girl on the side, she could deeply feel that the man had already reacted last night, why could he suddenly remain sane in that situation? Is it because you are not attractive enough? Or is there another reason? Of course, these are not things she can understand......
……
On the wilderness, the rolling cavalry continued to look for the next target, and Chu Zijun, Chen Qing and others on the side looked at Liu Ce's back, all wanting to say something.
If Liu Ce's order last night was excusable, then the words before the early morning departure were not something they could understand, wouldn't it be no different from a robber to do so?
However, what they didn't know was that Liu Ce wanted to completely stimulate the desires and dark side of the soldiers on this grassland, because only in this way could the army survive as much as possible on this wasteland and maintain enough combat power.
After all, the decision to leave the fortress was made on an ad hoc basis, and the preparations were not sufficient, and many officers and men in the army certainly could not understand it, and it was inevitable that they would complain.
At this time, if they are restrained according to the regulations of the Jingwei Battalion, no one can guarantee whether there will be a possibility of a sergeant mutiny in the future, Liu Ce does not dare to gamble at all, anything can happen when people are suppressed to the extreme, and he will not be able to suppress it at all.
Therefore, after Liu Ce found that the soldiers in the army were gradually showing signs of emotion, he quickly decided to adopt the law of the grassland to continue to lead the army to survive in this strange land outside the Saiwai until he found the opportunity to return to Jizhou.
In fact, the law of the grassland, to put it bluntly, is: robbing grain, grabbing money, and robbing girls. As long as you are ruthless and strong enough, you can gain a long-term foothold in the grassland, and the set of sage admonitions in the Central Plains has no market here, at least so far.
"General, a small group of cavalry was found a few miles ahead, about thirty or so horsemen, judging by their clothing totems, they should be the cavalry of the Duoyan Division, do you think I should send troops to destroy them?" Mu Feng, who went to explore the path and came back, said respectfully beside Liu Ce.
"Doyanbe?" Liu Ce's eyes narrowed, "It's just a defeated general, remember to leave a few live mouths to ask about the whereabouts of Duoyan's headquarters." ”
"Yes!"
After Mu Feng got Liu Ce's permission, he immediately gathered three hundred cavalry and rushed in the direction of the Hulan cavalry of the Duoyan Division.
……
The cavalry of the Duoyan Division, which was several miles away, did not know that the danger was quietly approaching at this time, and they rushed to the Duoyan Division leisurely and leisurely on the horse. They have been hunting near the "Black River Beach" since yesterday and did not return with their prey until the early hours of this morning.
Just as they were talking and laughing about their prey, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching in the distance.
"Huh?"
One of them, a cavalryman wearing a black feather hat, looked vigilantly towards the source of the horse's hooves, and saw hundreds of cavalry galloping towards him on a mountain in the distance.
Because the road was too far away, and there were no such weapons as speculums, he could not tell where the cavalry was coming from.
"It looks like it's the group of mongrels from the Special Concession Department."
"What do they want to do? Look at this posture is not good......"
"Get ready for battle! Wait until they get close and ask what their intentions are. ”
With full of doubts, the soldiers of the Duoyan tribe took off their horn bows one after another, put the wolf's tooth arrows on the strings, and looked vigilantly at the rushing cavalry.
Mu Feng observed the thirty horsemen in the distance from the speculum, then grinned, put down the spectacle and raised the horsewhip and rushed down with the army......
"No, they don't seem to be from the Special Concession Department, nor are they from the Rajin Ministry, they are ......"
The cavalry on the opposite side was getting closer and closer, and these Duoyan cavalry realized that the situation seemed to be beyond their expectations, and they couldn't help frowning.
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Fluttering ......"
Just when Mu Feng led his cavalry into the 60-step distance of the Duoyan cavalry, he immediately ordered the archers to shoot pitch-black feather arrows into the air, and fell towards the solemn Duoyan cavalry with the advantage of the tailwind......
"Dodge!"
The Hulan cavalry is worthy of being the elite cavalry on the grassland, in the face of the feather arrows that are shot, although they are not panicked, under the order of the "black feather hat", everyone quickly dispersed, and a rain of arrows fell, and no one fell off the horse with arrows.
"Damn!" Seeing that the surprise attack failed, Mu Feng raised his lance in anger and ordered again: "Rush over!" Kill! ”
"Kill!"
The three hundred cavalry roared in unison and rushed towards the thirty cavalry of Duoyan.
"Herdsmen!"
One of the Duoyan cavalrymen recognized the leader of Mu Feng at a glance, and immediately understood that this cavalry was from the herdsmen in the Guannei.
The rest of the people were also shocked when they heard this, haven't the herdsmen been in Jizhou? Why did you suddenly appear on the grassland? Could it be that the situation in Jizhou has changed?
"Kill!"
However, before they could delve into the internal reasons, the fierce battle was already approaching, and the faces of those herdsmen were full of murderous looks.
"Poof!"
The heavy saber slid through the back of one of the Toyan cavalrymen, sending a trail of blood scattered to the ground, and the cavalryman shook his horse a few times and fell heavily to the ground.
"飕~"
"Poof~"
A Doyan cavalryman turned around sharply and shot an arrow through the chest of a herdsman cavalryman who was chasing behind him, and then without waiting for him to land, he continued to control the war horse under his crotch and galloped forward, and when he was sure to get out of the encirclement, he took out a heavy arrow from the quiver behind his back and put it on the string and prepared to attack.
But at this moment, there was a galloping sound of horses' hooves from the left and right sides at the same time, and the Duoyan cavalry knew that this was a herdsman who had come to outflank him......
However, he was still a step slower, and just as he was about to break out of the encirclement, a horse sheath soaked in lime water slammed his neck around him, and as the horse galloped under his crotch, he was thrown to the ground and his neck was broken......
"Die!"
Mu Feng waved the four-meter-long lance in his hand with one hand, and at the moment of catching up with the two enemy horsemen, he slashed with a twist, and the heads of the two Duoyan cavalry were slashed out by the sharp lance blades, and the two headless corpses fell off the horse in a burst of blood rain after galloping dozens of steps under the crotch......
"Ah......h
The "Black Feather Hat" roared with a tiger spear in his hand, and picked off a rushing herdsman cavalry head-on, and then took advantage of the momentum to swing the spear hard, and two more herdsman cavalry were swept away. After repeated battles, he was covered in blood, and he couldn't tell whether it was his own or the enemy's.
"Bang ......"
"Poof......
When the black feather hat galloped the war horse and swept the two herdsmen off the horse again, he sadly found that he was surrounded by hundreds of cavalry, surrounded by herdsmen with hideous expressions, and there was no one else on Duoyan's side except himself.
"Surrender, spare you from dying!" Seeing that the outcome had been decided, Mu Feng pointed to the black feather hat and loudly persuaded him to surrender.
"You're dreaming! Go to hell! Hearing this, the Black Feather Hat was furious, and once again raised his tiger spear to kill Mu Feng head-on.
"Humph......"
Mu Feng looked at him coldly, and exchanged glances with one of the cavalrymen beside him......
"Bang ......"
Just as the "Black Feather Hat" was about to pounce on Mu Feng, a huge net trapped him all over, and as several cavalrymen pulled their horses, they fell heavily to the ground, and as the horses dragged, they brought up a long burst of gray sand......
