39. Gallic war slaves
The Gallic captives trembled and did not dare to look directly at Ye Feng and his Hun army, they had lost their courage and self-esteem under the lightning military blows of the Huns, and these people who were willing to surrender only wanted to live. The Gallics, who had the courage to fight the Huns www.biquge.info had died.
Ye Feng looked at these Gauls, his originally serious expression disappeared, and he said with a smile:
"You will all be our friends, go and plunder with us, and every one of you will get rich!"
Seeing that these Gauls were still expressionless, Ye Feng knew that these Gauls had completely lost their backbones, and these Gauls would become a good vanguard army, and they would even treat other Gaul tribes more ferociously in order to show their loyalty.
And they have already lost their leader, nothing more than a plate of scattered sand, in the absence of someone to lead them, they are nothing, the lamb who has lost the shepherd, will be left to the hands of the wolves.
"Uldin, go and rule over this flock!"
Ye Feng pursed his mouth and said to Ulding, and then rode away with his whip and let Ulding handle all this.
Ulding looked at more than a hundred Gallic warriors, leading ten Hun knights, Ulding showed a hideous smile on his face, and laughed:
"Alright, friends, pull up your weapons, and the time has come to plunder! I'll let you get rich first! ”
Urdin took out the weapons captured by the Huns and gave them the freedom to choose their own suitable weapons, which were not very good weapons, but which allowed the Gaulnon ladies to have a weapon in their hands.
Ye Feng's strategy worked, and in just a few days, more than 3,000 nomadic Huns drove thousands of Gallic war slaves, and more than 500 Gallic free slaves. In this way, the Huns, who had suffered very little losses, now suffered almost nothing, because every raid would inevitably put the Gallic war slaves in the first place.
In order to motivate these Gallic war slaves, Ye Feng specially issued a war slave decree, where a war slave kills an enemy in a battle, he can get two percent of his looted materials, two are three percent, three are four percent, four are fifty percent, and the highest fifty percent is not cumulative, and only takes effect in one battle.
And if these war slaves can kill a total of ten enemies, they can get the status of free people, and everything is counted by head. This may seem like an impossible task on the surface, but when you think about it, it can still be done by brave and strong people.
Although this caused to a certain extent the frenzied indiscriminate killing of innocents by these war slaves for the sake of free status and spoils of war, which was much more ferocious than the Huns, and they even killed each other for the sake of their heads, so the relationship between these war slaves was not very good, and their relations with the Gauls and other peoples were not very good.
Because of their fame, they later became known as the Gallic butchers. But these are what Ye Feng likes to see, and these can bind these war slaves to his chariot. As for the Gallic free slaves, the loyalty of most of them was not to be feared, although a few lost the privileged position of former slaves and were dissatisfied with their free status.
Some slaves used to rely on their master's status, or even above the status of the freemen, but the situation of most slaves was very miserable, so their loyalty and will to fight need not be doubted.
At this time, the army that Ye Feng could actually control, not counting the troops that were secretly influenced, had reached an astonishing close to more than 5,000 people, and the number of the entire coalition army had reached more than 37,000 people. And the coalition forces only know about looting and killing, and for prisoners, they kill indiscriminately, without the slightest intention of exploiting. As a result, although the coalition forces are huge, they have not been greatly improved by the war.
Above the horizon, a group of Gallic soldiers on foot appeared, and behind them were the Hun knights, who would be greeted by a rain of arrows if the Gauls dared to flee in battle.
Most of the Gallic soldiers were dressed in linen, armed with round shields and axes, a very few had long swords, and many more held short spears.
Now, they followed the Huns to bring the scourge of the dead to their fellow citizens, and most Gauls were happy to do so, lured by money and freedom.
"Rush!"
When the Gaul village appeared on the horizon, Uldin, the commander of the Gallic slaves, drew his sword and pointed it at the Gallic village, but he did not have the slightest sense of wanting to lead the way.
But the sound of horses' hooves behind the Gallic slaves urged them forward, and if they charged too slowly, they believed that the bloodthirsty, cruel, and ruthless Huns would not hesitate to trample them to pulp.
"Gauls! It's the neighboring tribes that are going to attack us! ”
A Gaul standing above the sentry shouted, loudly warning the people of their tribe that this was not the first civil war in the village, and that they acted in an orderly manner much faster than the other Gallic villages.
The women hid in the houses, and the men went up to the sentry posts to defend themselves against the attack at the emergency fence.
"Oh my God! It's the Huns! They're coming! ”
Some of the Gauls noticed something was wrong, and the invading Gauls were followed by strangely decorated cavalry, dressed exactly like the legendary Huns.
When the Gallic slaves charged, they howled and charged, trying to increase their courage or make themselves insane, typical of the Gauls' way of attacking, except that these Gauls were adult Gauls.
The Gauls in the village were old and young, women and men, and judging by the size of the village, could a small village of only a few hundred people withstand the ravages of this army of five thousand.
The Hunnic knights threw the first round of arrows, and the whole village was surrounded on all sides, and not a single person could escape.
Ye Feng waved his hand and motioned for the Huns to stop shooting arrows, and a Hun herald rode his horse and shouted around:
"Stop shooting!"
Hearing this, the Huns stopped shooting arrows, and the Gauls, who could not raise their heads under the blow of the rain of arrows, finally engaged the Gallic slaves of the Huns, which was a tragic hand-to-hand combat, for the Gauls, and the Gallic slaves broke through the Gallic defense line very easily.
Then came a massacre.
A Hun asked Ye Feng whether to charge, but Ye Feng shook his head and said:
"Let the Gallics plunder once, let's not interfere, I'm sure they'll love it! Ha ha! ”
The slaughter was followed by a feast, in which these Gallic slaves broke into the huts and humiliated the Gallic women, often a single Gallic woman at the hands of a dozen Gallic slaves.
Ye Feng looked at the burning village, and there was not a single ripple in his heart.
