Chapter 118 passes through the north
In a month, Zhang Yu and Hou Mingfeng divided the 80,000 cavalry into eight brigades, each of which was divided into ten squads, each of which had a thousand people, like hungry wolves in winter, looking for food on the grassland, constantly shuttling through the grassland near Youzhou City for two hundred miles.
This eighty thousand-person squad, like eighty wolf packs, scattered on the grasslands around Youzhou City, once the Donghu tribe was discovered, several, more than a dozen squads, pounced on it, fought hard, like hungry jackals, gnawed the opponent clean.
Lin Feng personally sat in Youzhou, and in just one month, with the cooperation of all squads, he swept away six or seven small Donghu tribes around Youzhou City, annihilated more than 30,000 enemies, captured more than 40,000 Donghu people, and rescued slaves, some of which were 100,000.
The captured Donghu people, Zhang Yu without exception were escorted back to Cangyan Mountain. Cangyan Mountain is a natural basin, the terrain is flat, the territory is vast, before coming to Youzhou, Lin Feng ordered to open up more land in Cangyan Mountain, establish military camps, make weapons and other secret foundations.
Zhang Yu likes the joy of captivity, seeing that the cavalry is growing day by day, and the cooperation is becoming more and more tacit day by day, he feels that Lin Feng's battle is the best whetstone, too incisive.
However, he admired Lin Feng's strategy of raising war with war, and these days, among the small tribes, a large number of gold and silver treasures and war horses have been captured.
These riches are not only the savings of the various tribes over the years, but also the fruits of the war. But more often than not, various tribes have raided Guangyuan County for many years and plundered the wealth of the Jin Kingdom.
These riches included not only gold, silver, and jewelry, war horses, cattle and sheep raised by the tribes, but also a large number of slaves and Huns captured in the battle against the Xiongnu.
Although the tribes attacked, although they have declined, most of them have had a glorious history, decades, hundreds of years of precipitation, and accumulated terrible wealth, so every time a tribe is captured, there is always a steady stream of materials that are transported back to Youzhou.
Compared with the valuable wealth, Zhang Yu valued the captured Jin State and the Xiongnu captives.
Among these people, except for a few women and children, many of them are young and strong, and many Jin people have been taken captive since childhood, stayed in the Donghu tribe for a long time, and have also learned a good riding skill.
The Huns were captured, and there was simply no need for training, and once they persuaded the other party to surrender, they were warriors on horseback.
Besides, these people were captured by the Donghu people, and they were never treated as human beings, and they didn't do any drudgery, not to mention that their families were ruined and their wives were separated, all of which were done by the Donghu people, and they held back a hatred for the Donghu people in their hearts.
When Zhang Yu planned to arrange the rescued captives to the counties of Yan Kingdom, Lin Feng denied his idea.
Cavalry, when Lin Feng saw the captured horses for the first time, he decided to recruit all these people and form cavalry.
Lin Feng's heart is like a mirror, training qualified cavalry is really not an easy task, it takes a lot of energy, Cangyan Mountain has been training for several months before forming a cavalry team of hundreds of thousands of people.
After dividing the troops into various places, Youzhou, the front line of the entire war, was only 80,000 people. In the past month or so, seven small Donghu tribes have been defeated and more than 100,000 captives have been rescued, of which more than 80,000 are young people.
After the decision to conscript, most of the captives had national hatred for Donghu, and as a result, almost all of the 80,000 people joined the army, so he easily formed a cavalry team of 80,000 people again.
The rescued slaves of the Jin Kingdom are not worth mentioning in terms of combat power, but their equestrian skills are not as good as the top, they are very brilliant, no worse than Yu Linwei.
Can't fight, can't kill the enemy, it doesn't matter, when Zhang Yu and others joined the army for the first time, they can't fight, they can't kill the enemy, today they not only stand out among 100,000 people, but also become a general, fighting in the south and the north, invincible.
With the addition of 80,000 cavalry and the support of the wealth of various tribes, Lin Feng's heart was very happy, although the harvest of this trip was expected, it was beyond expectations.
There was a sound of clattering horses' hooves on the grassland, Lin Feng stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, followed the sound, and saw the familiar black military uniform, and couldn't help but smile, it was his own army.
Zhang Yu took the lead and galloped towards Lin Feng: "Your Majesty, today is not bad!" ”
After the Mid-Autumn Festival with the queen, Lin Fengli overrode the public opinion, and Hou Mingfeng, with 5,000 blade soldiers and 40,000 ironclad cavalry, came to Youzhou in person, presided over the overall situation, and Zhang Yu had 40,000 cavalry, when he came, he was not afraid of being on the front line and being in danger.
Life in the palace is comfortable, but Lin Feng doesn't dare to stay, the faint fragrance of women, the most gentle township, he doesn't dare to spend his will in the gentle township, and he knows that he can't waste his time.
The situation in the north is turbulent, the undercurrent is surging, maybe there will be another war that day, Yan wants to survive in the cracks, must brave the world's disapproval, through the north.
Seeing the dead corpses on the ground, Lin Feng's expression was solemn, in today's battle, the other party's tribe rode extremely bravely, killed a small team of Yu Lin Wei, and broke through, but fortunately, Zhang Yu sent people to surround him and annihilated the other party in time.
"Your Majesty, this is the patriarch of the tribe that has just been wiped out, a very fierce guy, killed several of our soldiers, or cut it." Zhang Yu dismounted, ran up, and pointed to the corpse on the ground.
"Forget it!" Lin Feng shook his head, "It's a hero, leave a whole corpse, the horse is good, take it back, let's go!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, which one are you going to do next? I have already found out that there are two small tribes not far from us, and they are not very strong. Zhang Yu said with great interest, in the past month, the fruitful results have made all the Youzhou soldiers excited.
He himself was overjoyed, and now that he had more and more soldiers and horses in his hands, he was honing his command skills more and more.
"No, rest and recuperate, after a month of war, the brothers are tired!" Lin Feng shook his head and said proudly: "This month, I'm afraid that we have already beaten the Donghu people, maybe the revenge will come back soon. Besides, the harvest is not small, you kid alone has collected 30,000 people, plus the 30,000 people collected by Hou Mingfeng, you two also have 140,000 troops under your hands. ”
"Hehe, isn't this the emperor's leadership." Zhang Yu smiled innocently and patted Lin Feng's ass a little.
Lin Feng's station, which used to be the old camp of a small tribe in Donghu, called Malan Recess, was corrected by Lin Feng and temporarily used as the base camp for attacking the Donghu tribe.
All the seizures in the war were sent to Malanwa, and then they were continuously transported back to Youzhou, and then sent from Youzhou to the capital.
In the camp of the horse pen, stuffed with seized materials, livestock, war horses, and endless crowds, in and out of the camp, the herds of cattle, sheep and horses were driven out, and they went all the way in the direction of Youzhou.
In the past month, Lin Feng's harvest has been really great, and the wealth has been harvested, although he is constantly fighting, and the manpower is constantly being lost, but the recruits who have been replenished are far more than the battle losses, and now the Youzhou army has expanded to 160,000 people, Zhang Yu and Hou Mingfeng's cavalry, there are 140,000 casualties, and Lin Feng is also in various armies, selecting 20,000 strong laborers, and organizing them into blade warriors.
In addition to these, what made Lin Feng happy was that after the baptism of blood and fire, the team's combat effectiveness improved rapidly, and the recruits became veterans, centurions, thousands, Zhang Yu, Hou Mingfeng and the lieutenants, and their command ability also made long-term progress on the bloody battlefield.
The tactical coordination is more than enough to deal with these small units of Donghu.
Lin Feng's tactics were actually very simple, the cavalry went out, harassed, attacked, lured, and annihilated.
Zhang Yu and Hou Mingfeng led a thousand cavalry mobile troops, wandering on the battlefield, once they found the hard bones, they rode into battle in person, in front of him, there were few Donghu cavalry who could block his edge. The tactics are simple, but they are extremely practical.
Fighting side by side, blood poured out a trustworthy friendship, and everyone can give their backs to their comrades.
In the non-stop battle, Yu Linwei and the captives gradually merged, and there was a little less life, after a big battle, everyone held a coarse porcelain sea bowl, babbling and drinking with each other, and there was no sense of alienation under Lin Feng's command at all.
They have been through the window together, carried guns together, prostituted together, and shared the stolen goods together. Lin Feng couldn't help but think of some classic sentences summed up by the common people in his previous life.
Back at the old camp, Lin Feng didn't have time to rest, Ji Qiong was already happily sandwiching the thick account book and walked into Lin Feng's residence. After a month of war, the rewards were unusually rich and rich, and the happiest thing was Ji Qiong, who was in charge of money and food.
Although Youzhou is not as good as the court, he does not go to the battlefield, he can't see the bloody battles of the soldiers, and he has never witnessed the scene of Yan Guoerlang's death, so he won't have too much sadness.
In front of him, in addition to the number of casualties, it was the rich wealth that cost his eyes the money every day, the seven tribes, the captured gold, silver and jewelry, horses, cattle and sheep, and the grain was soft and soft, which was worth the 50 million taels of silver supported by the Duan Wen family.
The cost of fighting a war is large, but Zhang Yu can capture money faster.
"Your Majesty, five hundred war horses are already on their way to Huguan and Black Flag Pass?" Ji Qiong is very reluctant, these are all captured good war horses, and they are given away in vain, so I am really a little reluctant!
Moreover, his emperor personally went to the front line, but one-third of the spoils he got were given to his generals, not only he was not convinced, but Zhang Yu and Hou Mingfeng were also not convinced.
"Well, this can't be stopped!" Lin Feng said without hesitation, in the past month, with the addition of these five hundred, there have been three thousand war horses sent to Huguan and Black Flag Pass.
After the two wars, the number of Yulinwei and Dragoon guards increased greatly, especially the number of cavalry, and the war horses produced by Yan State were in short supply. The battle of Black Flag Pass almost crippled the tiger and leopard battalion, and now there is a great need for war horses in various places.
The new horse farm is being built again, no matter how difficult it is, Heng Bangchang and Liu Xuanyuan must be supported. After all, there was no fighting between the two places, and it was very difficult to plunder horses, and it was even more difficult to train cavalry.
After taking a shower happily and changing into civilian clothes, Lin Feng sat in his bedroom, reviewed the music sent by the capital, and began to carefully polish his war knife, looking at the thin gap on the horse chopping knife, he couldn't help frowning, the iron material for making these two weapons is not too good after all, it seems that he has to think of some way, he doesn't want to suddenly break the weapon in the fierce battle, it will be fatal.
