Chapter 690: Whitewashing
Each lancer had only two chances to swing his sword, and the entire third column was still rushing forward with the first two, and it was impossible to slow down the horses. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Due to the hard daily training, the whole cavalry team is only slightly skewed, but the distance between the personnel has been greatly expanded, in the first moment of contact, the queue is still very tight, everyone deviates from the partner after the knife, the second knife or someone out of the third knife, found that the distance from the partner has been relatively far.
On the way to escape, the sergeant majors shouted again, and everyone began to slowly pull their horses' heads to get closer to their partners again, Lu Si did the same, he looked back, and found that there was already a mess behind him, full of corpses and dead horses, the wails were still heard very well from a few miles away, and the left and right flanks of the northern captives who tried to surround them turned around, but they were still some distance from the cavalry, and they would not be able to catch up with the lancers for a while and a half.
"Re-array, turn the horse's head!"
It was about three miles away from the place where the attack had just begun, and the horses finally stopped after galloping and slowing down, and after giving the horses a certain amount of time to breathe, the two companies readjusted the horses' heads and completed the array again.
The loud brass horn sounded again, and the Beilu on the opposite side also let out a shout, just now Lu Si still had a little palpitation when he heard the howl of the Beiyu, at this time he had already heard that this was a desperate cry of a group of men who had to fight to protect their homes and protect their wives and children, and that's it.
The three rows of cavalry continued to move forward, the war horse began to jump forward, Lu Si felt that his body was connected with the war horse, he saw his partners wiping the blood on the saber with a handkerchief, Lu Si shook his head, he felt that there was no need to do this, and when he slashed again, the blood would stain the saber again.
Even if you can erase the blood from the knife, there will be blood stains on everyone's heart, which is inevitable.
An extremely burly giant man in the front team shouted: "Beiyu is really desperate today." ā
The shouts on the opposite side became louder and louder, and the northern cavalry on the left and right flanks and the remnants of the middle formation barely gathered together, and the weapons in their hands were like weeds on the ground, although dense but looking chaotic, invisibly reducing a lot of threats.
"What about desperately, crushing their heads like that!" Another generally burly lancer shouted.
The brass trumpet sounded again, the flag gun tilted again, and the cavalry once again rushed to the opposite side.
ā¦ā¦
Lao Zhong sat next to Lu Si and grinned: "What a Lu Si, he deserves to be a good boy who has won a first-class medal." ā
Lu Si sat in front of a bush, he didn't have the heart to speak.
His iron armor became extremely heavy, so that he wanted to take it off immediately, it must have been soaked, and the lining had been tightly attached to his skin, but the war was not completely over, and now it was just a matter of resting for the war horse for a while...... War horses have armor and carry knights full of armor, galloping back and forth quickly, and most of their physical strength has been consumed.
After the second charge, as the Northern Captives had collapsed, the High Command ordered the cavalry to pursue freely, and could use short guns, crossbows, bows and arrows, or throw weapons.
The Lancer does not restrict the knight from buying and using his favorite weapon, as long as it is effective.
Pursued by a variety of weapons, a large number of northern captives were shot down and dismounted, and then killed.
The ground was littered with corpses, both human and horse, and it slowly thinned out after stretching for five or six miles.
Of course, most of the northern captives still fled, but Lu Si could clearly hear them crying.
"Thank you Sergeant Major for the compliment." Lu Si reluctantly responded.
"Boy, come a few more times and you'll get used to it." Old Zhong misunderstood the meaning of the expression on Lu Si's face, and patted him on the shoulder in relief.
"Re-line, count!"
There were a few lancers on the ground stabbing the dying captives, not psychopaths, but to help these people get free.
Of course, He Yusheng has a military doctor, but it is impossible to spend his energy on these dying seriously injured Beiyu, and the minor injuries still have treatment value, and they can be used as hard labor in the copper mine, and the seriously injured are counted.
Hearing the order of the formation, the lancers hurriedly remounted their horses, Lu Si and Lao Zhong also turned over to the horses, and everyone first looked for their own troops, then the team, then the squadron, and then the company.
At this time, Lu Si realized that the queue was sparse, and the partners around him were all just separated by two or three positions, and only the position of Lao Zhong remained unchanged.
He saw that the ranks of the lancers were even more sparse, and the lancers of more than a hundred people lost at least twenty or thirty people.
Lao Zhong seemed to see his gaze, this time he didn't grin, but said with a straight face: "Boy, this is normal, even if the Beiyu is a group of wild horses, we will die if we hit it like this." You must remember the experience of surviving the two charges, which will make you survive the future charges, and you will not survive long by rushing directly into battle with brute strength. ā
At the sound of the brass trumpet, the team assembled, and then rode over on pond horses to give orders, and the regimental commander ordered them to cooperate with the other troops to sweep the pastoral areas not far away, where it was obvious to the naked eye that the people were still fleeing, and there were still many people who had not escaped.
"The order is," cried the bearded company commander, "to kill all those above the chariot, men, women, and children." Also, protect the sheep and horses so that they don't hurt or startle them. ā
This order made Lu Si feel a little uncomfortable, and most of the recruits behaved like him, and everyone had some confusion in their eyes.
Lao Zhong patted Lu Si's shoulder hard, grinning and revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth: "Boy, think about what Beiyu did to us Han people, when they hit the grass valley, were they full of wolf smoke, burning and looting everywhere, this is revenge, revenge tastes the best." ā
"Who the fuck are you?" A Han sergeant major heard it not far away, laughing and scolding loudly.
Lao Zhong smiled: "I think I am Han in my heart, can't I?" ā
The veterans looked eager, and they liked this kind of thing the most.
Not far away, Nie Lei, the military and political officer of the regiment, sent Tang Ma to stop the soldiers who were about to be killed.
"Regiment commander," Nie Lei ignored Zhou Yao's cold gaze, and he said: "These burning things, you and your subordinates can do last year, but this year's lancer regiment can't do it." Soldiers must have a sense of honor and not make them beasts. ā
Zhou Yao sneered: "Beasts? Last year, I was the one who took these beasts to achieve earth-shattering results. ā
"No one dares to deny the achievements of the regimental commander." Nie Lei said sincerely: "Just like today's incident, the top must also agree with the regiment command." What I mean by this is to find the right people to do such a thing, and they don't need strong force, but they are light, have strong firepower, and they are all a bunch of villains. The officers and men of our new army are all good families in various places, and the army just wants to be pure, didn't Commander Zhou also tame a group of beasts into soldiers last year? ā
"If you want to do something, are you afraid of getting your hands dirty......" Zhou Yao showed a full mocking look on his face, but he did not object, but ordered Tang Ma to cancel the previous order.
"Now I've got to find some more villains." Zhou Yao still had some mocking tone, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he admired Nie Lei very much, he pointed to the pasture in front of him and said: "But the men still have to be searched, all sent to the copper mines, women and children are also sent to the military forts to do chores, the felt bags are burned, and the cattle, sheep and horses are robbed, how about it, my good military and political officer, can pure soldiers do these things?" ā
"I can do it." Nie Lei said very cheerfully: "The premise is that the command will add food to everyone tonight, I believe everyone will be happier." ā
"You are seizing every opportunity to fight for the welfare of the soldiers." Zhou Yao finally had some soft light in his eyes, and the military and political forces in front of him made him feel admired, worthy of being a good guy specially assigned to him by the Military and Political Division, not to cause trouble, and the objections when necessary did work, and the management of military and political affairs in peacetime also saved him a lot of worry. And his suggestion woke Zhou Yao up, he was indeed a knife used to do dirty work, but he could already slowly wash himself, as long as he wanted.
In any case, Zhou Yao also wants to be an excellent commander and return to his hometown, not a famous butcher.
However, what should be done still has to be done, Zhou Yao's eyes gradually turned cold, he is already thinking about finding some people who can do dirty work and are suitable for doing dirty work, and set up an independent combat unit attached to the lancer regiment.
From the bushes on the side, several guards came back with the help of Omubuhong, and the corners of the little fat man's mouth still had traces of just vomiting. In any case, watching his own people being slaughtered was never a good experience, and everything in front of him was too cruel for a teenager.
"How's it going, boy?"
Nie Lei ran over with his military hat and held Omu Buhong for a while, his kindness had the opposite effect, and the little Mongolian fat man vomited even more intensely.
"It's okay, it's okay......"
After vomiting for a while, Ombuhong finally calmed down. But he saw a new brutal scene, a large number of cavalry pouring into the pastures not far away, and under the blue sky, they were galloping and killing to their heart's content.
Behind these cavalry is a large number of corpses, a casual glance at the Ombuhong can see that at least hundreds of people died, more than three hundred lancers two rounds of impact to penetrate the thick array of the northern captives twice, they dare to fight with the lancers head-on They suffered very heavy casualties, in front of the eyes of Ombuhong is a very miserable scene, he once again felt the strength and invincibility of Yusheng, in his career in the next few decades, today's scene reminded him countless times: first, do not fight head-on with the cuirassiers. The second is to hug the tense thighs and never turn against He Yusheng.
An even more tragic scene soon appeared in front of the eyes of the Omubu River, the cavalry crossed the low hills, rushed into the felt bag, a cavalryman sat on a horse with a straight back, his musket aimed at a teenager Mongolian boy, the boy was very stubborn, the cavalry bow in his hand shot the bow and arrow at the rushing cavalry, and a woman was anxiously persuading something.
