Chapter 146: The Post-War Situation

In the early morning, the mist on the grassland became thicker and thicker, the visibility was extremely low, and the fog seemed to wrap the heavens and the earth in a chaotic space, and the fog was foggy on all sides.

Lin Feng walked out of the camp tent, looked at the ghost weather, shook his head slightly, and took the guards to personally patrol around the camp.

This weather is suitable for long-distance attacks, and if there are cavalry on all sides taking advantage of the opportunity, it will be really bad.

Occasionally there is still a little spark in some places, emitting a thin layer of smoke, mixed with the mist, which is a little choking.

However, after cleaning up at night, the Yan army has re-established its defenses in the mouth of the tiger, the blade soldiers are stationed in the south, Hou Mingfeng's troops live in the west, the Mahasu troops are stationed in the east, and the tiger leaping stream subway rope bridge in the north, the wooden planks on it have all been stripped off, and the extremely long iron chain bridge has only more than 20 thick iron chains left, hanging alone on the roaring Hun River, which looks a bit sluggish.

No matter who brings troops to the north of the Hunhe River to rescue, or crosses the river to fight, it will cause a lot of trouble, Lin Feng believes that the Donghu people still have the ability and courage to fly across the Hunhe River chain bridge.

"Your Majesty!" Hou Mingfeng held two pieces of boiled beef in his hands, walked up to Lin Feng, sent one to him, and said with admiration on his face: "Your Majesty, eat something first, breakfast in the room is almost ready." ”

It has been a long time to follow Lin Feng, and he also admires Lin Feng, but crossing the river last night made Hou Mingfeng have a new understanding of Lin Feng's ability and courage.

Yesterday, Hou Mingfeng only knew that Lin Feng had a way to cross the river, but he didn't know the specific process, and asked Lin Feng, and the other party just said that he was still in the process of thinking, and if he could successfully cross the river, he would use the torch as the number.

At that time, he had expectations for Lin Feng, but it was just expectation, he didn't think much about it, and he didn't dare to think about it.

The tribes on the grassland, you fight for the Hunhe region, the most wonderful way to play is when Nadal led the troops, crossed the river from the upper reaches of the Hunhe River, and went straight to the three counties of the Hunhe River.

Now, the army is hundreds of miles away from the upper reaches of the Hunhe River, and it is impossible to reach it in a short time, not to mention that there are a large number of defenders there.

However, at night, on the south bank of the Hunhe River, the torch was lit, and the signal was unintentional, and soon, the entire south bank of the Hunhe River was in chaos with the sound of killing tigers and shouting and killing, Hou Mingfeng couldn't believe it, until a blade soldier came to the north bank of the Hunhe River in person, and Hou Mingfeng dared to determine the facts.

On the battlefield, Hou Mingfeng had no worries, and he was dedicated to leading the troops to kill the enemy, and when the battle situation was decided, after cleaning up the battlefield, Hou Mingfeng specially found the blade soldiers to ask about the process of crossing the river.

Knowing the whole process of crossing the river, Hou Mingfeng was indescribably surprised, and couldn't help but guess what the emperor's brain was, and such a strange method could be come up with, it was incredible.

admired Lin Feng more and more, and hurriedly rode his horse to the upper reaches of the Tiger Leaping Stream, seeing that the grass rope was cut off and still hanging on the cliff, Hou Mingfeng thought about it, and an indescribable admiration came to his heart.

When he deduced Lin Feng's method in detail and completely conceived the method of crossing the river in his mind, he almost screamed in surprise, looked at the big trees on the south bank, and sent people to stay and cut down those big trees on the south bank of the Hunhe River to prevent the Donghu people from painting cats and tigers.

Lin Feng gnawed on the meat, the taste was extremely beautiful, a hundred times stronger than those dried meats, and asked, "How was the harvest last night?" This is Donghu's forward position in the three counties of Hunhe, and there must be a lot of food and ordnance?"

"Well, the emperor expected it to be good, and the harvest was quite rich, but there were many Donghu soldiers and slaves from various countries who were captured, but those who were interested in joining the Yan army, the last general was all gathered under his command, a few days ago, he fled on the grassland, and lost a lot of elite soldiers, so as to take the opportunity to replenish the army, and take the opportunity to kill the tiger's mouth is just to trap the dragon and ascend to heaven, out of the three counties of the Hunhe River, and then the dragon can really return to the sea." Finally jumped out of the encirclement of the Donghu people, Hou Mingfeng was much more relaxed, and began to think about fighting south.

"Those slaves, you have ideas, but last night captured a lot of Donghu people, including the Mahasu tribe, what good way do you have?" Lin Feng asked, Mahasu only led his troops to capture Tafeng alive during the big battle last night, and did not obstruct the night attack of the army, which can be regarded as living up to Lin Feng's previous trust.

Lin Feng knew that the Mahasu tribe had 40,000 people in the Hukou Slaughter, and there were 30,000 people in the Xiapi camp, and 70,000 people were not weak cavalry.

"In addition to the Mahasu tribe, more than 20,000 people were killed last night and nearly 40,000 people were captured, of which thousands of Donghu people took the initiative to take refuge, and the remaining Donghu people seem to have no intention of surrendering. Hou Mingfeng said that after the end of the battle last night, the Mahasu tribe was still stationed in the south, and the soldiers were still patrolling on time, and there was no conflict with Hou Mingfeng's troops.

However, there are less than 40,000 diehards left, which makes it a little difficult for Hou Mingfeng, if he kills them all, he is a little unable to do it, killing prisoners and killing people in the siege of the city and plundering the land, the nature is different, and it is cruel to do so.

Since the formation of the Yan Army, it has always been under the banner of the division of benevolence and righteousness, and it has indeed been done, in the war, if the people can not be offended, they will not be offended, if there are prisoners willing to serve the Yan State, they will all be treated according to the Yan Army, and those die-hard prisoners can not be made to submit, most of them are sent to Cangyan Mountain as slaves and build military camps.

At present, the number of captured Donghu people is a bit large, all of them are elite cavalry, sent to Cangyan Mountain to do coolies, and those tribal cavalry Lin Feng before are a little unbearable, not to mention these elite Donghu cavalry.

However, the Donghu captives didn't understand their good intentions, so there was really no other way, so they could only send those people to the Cangyan Mountain area.

"It's time to form the Flying Tiger Iron Guard." Lin Feng sighed, when he subdued the 60,000 cavalry of the Rong clan, Lin Feng promised to form the Flying Tiger Iron Guard, but in the end, he still organized the Rong clan troops and Yu Lin Wei together.

As the army fought in the steppe, there were 40,000 or 50,000 people who had been sent to Cangyan Shandong, and now nearly 40,000 Donghu people had been captured, as well as slaves of various ethnic groups, and the Mahasu tribe, no matter what, it was bound to find an opportunity to get all these people into the army.

Moreover, the army all crossed the Hunhe River and captured the mouth of the Killing Tiger, and the cavalry north of the Hunhe River was beyond their reach and wanted to obstruct it, unless they directly led the troops south and fortified in the area of Hulin County.

Whether he can stop the advance of the Yan army, Lin Feng doesn't want to guess, but when he leads the army south, he will definitely break through the three lines of defense set up by Tafeng in the three counties of Hunhe, unless the army fails in battle, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be more prisoners captured at that time, if they are all sent to Cangyan Mountain, it will be a bit of a ruin and a waste of resources.

Training a new army consumes time, money and food, and abandoning these elite cavalry of Donghu, Lin Feng always felt aggrieved in his heart.

"Lao Hou, you go to lobby in person, if someone participates in the Flying Tiger Iron Guard, the treatment will be according to the standards of the Yan Army, everyone will be brothers in the future, if you don't participate, starve for a few days, and wait for the three counties of Hunhe to be defeated, the other party has no hope, and will naturally be soft." Lin Feng said.

Lin Feng has figured out his thoughts about treating captives in the past two years, prisoners with family members are usually rather dead than surrendered, mostly to fight for treatment, and if they agree to the other party's request, they can be used by me. A really strong captive, who does not surrender, has a little more dignity and stubbornness, you respect him, look up to him, and make him hold on to his dignity, these people are not impossible to overcome.

As for the current capture of the Hukou, most of these people are from the three counties of the Hunhe River, and the current army only occupies the Hukou of the three counties of the Hunhe River, except for the important geographical location, this is a very small place, looking at the three counties of the Hunhe River, it is almost negligible.

And in the south of the three counties of Hunhe, there are still large areas controlled by the Donghu people, and the two sides will eventually win and lose, and the outcome is unpredictable.

Just as Lin Feng said, if you want to recover these captives, you must capture all the three counties of Hunhe, so that the other party has no thoughts, loses the will to support, and begins to worry about the clansmen and families, and in the end, they will make a clear choice.

Soon, there was a shouting sound from the room, Lin Feng patted Hou Mingfeng on the shoulder, and said: "Let's go, go to eat first, these days, the army has rarely had the opportunity to drink hot soup, have a hot meal, and after eating, discuss the specific matters of the army's southward movement." ”

As usual, in the morning it was still broth and steamed buns, but last night there were a lot of seizures in the tiger's mouth, and the army did not eat hot food for several days, according to Hou Mingfeng's order, from early in the morning, a lot of cattle and sheep were slaughtered, so breakfast is not so much hot soup, but rather a cattle and sheep feast.

Lin Feng and Hou Mingfeng squatted on a big stone, whispering while eating, and at this time, Mahasu also hurriedly walked up.

Having personally experienced and witnessed last night's battle, Mahasu admired and feared Lin Feng and his soldiers, Lin Feng was the Emperor of Yan, his status was noble, but he was not ambiguous in the battle, he took the lead and was like a tiger.

The soldiers under his command are even more ferocious, last night, in the face of an army of 100,000 people, the blade soldiers and the cavalry who later crossed the river, basically solved the battle in two hours, it can be said that it is cold and fierce, and the battle is like lightning.

He also led his army to capture Tafeng last night and taught the other party a hard lesson, but at night, he consulted with the important generals of the tribe and began to plan a way out in the future.

Previously, Mahasu hoped to use Lin Feng's troops to resolve the tribal dilemma, and once Lin Feng's army left, he would dominate the three counties of Hunhe.

But after last night's battle, Mahasu deeply understood that instead of escaping from the tiger's mouth, he led the tribe into the wolf's den, Lin Feng's troops, the battle was really strong, although last night's attack and sneak attack were the majority, but the other party first used an unexpected method, sneaked into the south bank of the Hunhe River, and when the army was fighting, it quickly defeated the two groups of defenses temporarily formed by the Donghu people.

Such a cunning and fierce army seemed to be even more fearful than the iron cavalry of the Donghu royal court, and Mahasu was deeply aware that if he did the slightest bit of recklessness, the next moment, the end of Ta Feng would be realized on him.
