Chapter 46: Pus
Du Wei explained the information to Lin Yu and the three of them on the side, and said: "These bandits are also known as horse thieves, and the nearby mountains and canyons are all where they hide, because they have been entrenched for many years, and because of the horses, they attack very quickly and retreat quickly, so it is difficult for us to catch them all." ”
"But these bandits usually fight in small teams, why do they suddenly gather to attack the city, there seems to be something wrong with this!"
Lin Yu looked at the group of bandits, it is true that their strength is not very strong, the most powerful is only the early third order, the others are the first order at most, and a few of them are second order, the strength of these bandits, to be honest, Lin Yu really doesn't see it at all.
In his impression, the average strength of any cavalry in the Reims Empire should be above the second order, and whether it is equipment, horses, or arrays, it is much more powerful than these unorganized and undisciplined bandits below.
These bandits in front of them are wearing ordinary cloth clothes, and the weapons they are holding are just ordinary green clothes, even white clothes, even if Donghai County is down, no matter how it is said that it is a regular army, it is too abnormal to be chased and beaten by this rabble of more than a thousand!
Could it be that the combat effectiveness of Austria-Hungary was really so weak that even the rabble could not defeat it?
Feng Xiaojin also looked at the bandits outside on the city wall at this time, pouted and said: "I thought those bandits were so powerful, they have bothered you for so long, aren't they just a rabble, I have a hundred-person cavalry team of the Wind Army, and I can clean them up!"
Feng Xiaojin didn't say this loudly, but the soldiers on the city wall heard it, they all clenched their fists, as if they had resentment in their hearts, their eyes were a little angry, but they looked at Feng Xiaojin helplessly.
Feng Xiaojin was stunned, and thought that she had said their sore spot, so she asked Du Wei: "Am I not right? These are indeed rabble, don't you think it's a bit of a fuss to pay so much attention to them?"
Du Wei sighed, the gray hair on his head seemed to have a lot more at this moment, and he said to Feng Xiaojin a little helplessly: "We all agree with what Miss Feng said, but we in Donghai County also have our own difficulties. ”
"Our Donghai County, because there are no horses, there are no cavalry!"
"This ......" Feng Xiaojin looked at the city behind him, it was a huge city, and he couldn't even get together a cavalry, it was too fake!
Du Wei explained: "The most important problem is that we don't have a place to graze horses in Donghai County, and because of the limited space in the city, there is no way to build a large-scale horse farm, because Donghai County itself is just a small city, and the space is almost used up just for people living in it!"
"We also thought about stationing outside the city and then raising horses, but unfortunately the Lance Empire has been pressing step by step, and there are bandits watching from the sidelines, so the plan to raise horses outside the city has not been achieved. ”
"So up to now, in addition to the more than ten horses that we in the Austro-Hungarian Empire use to transmit information on a daily basis, we will definitely not be able to form a large-scale formed cavalry!"
"These bandits, relying on fast horses, can attack us at will, and the bandits never love to fight, they all run away after grabbing, and they are not reluctant to rob them, in short, as long as they take advantage, and we Austro-Hungarian people, if we don't have horses, we really can't catch up with them!"
Lin Yu nodded thoughtfully, and said, "No wonder these bandits have been able to wreak havoc for so long, it turns out that it is because they have horses, so they can show off their power so unscrupulously!"
"Those horse thieves are so arrogant!" said Prince Eevee as he looked down and gritted his teeth.
At this time, the horse thieves seemed to be a little tired, and let their horses graze on the moat, and the horses were drinking the water of the moat.
And the provocations of those bandits became more and more excessive, and they even scolded the Austro-Hungarian soldiers on the city walls!
"Yo, you're coming to see us again?"
"It's really hard for you to come out to see us every time!"
"That's right, that's right, we robbed your caravan again this time!"
"Yes, but you are an Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the caravans are really too poor, and all of them are just food, not even much gold!"
"That's right, Puss Army!"
"Puss Army!"
"Puss Army!"
The taunts below were getting louder and louder, and the soldiers on the city walls were already full of anger.
The crown prince Ibu was even more angry, and he said to everyone on the city wall: "Whichever general is willing to lead his troops down and fight with him, this prince will be rewarded!"
Everyone was scolded as a "puss army" on the city wall, and their hearts were already furious, but when they heard that Dai Jun was going to fight, those generals looked at me, I looked at you, no one wanted to come forward!
Because they know that if they go out into battle, they will not have a chance of victory, they are all cavalry, and if their own infantry rushes out, the cavalry of other people will run away directly, and they will not be entangled at all.
Therefore, it is just in vain to go out in pursuit with the infantry, and everyone is not willing to do these thankless tasks.
Prime Minister Du Wei also persuaded the prince: "The prince is angry, our infantry really can't catch up with their cavalry, endure the anger for a while, don't lose a big one because of a small one!"
Prince Ibu gritted his teeth, and he said, "This prince knows, but ...... I'm not reconciled!"
"Order, all the archers are out!" ordered Prince Ebu.
A row of archers, at this time, came out around the wall, and at the same time drew the bowstrings full.
"The pus-filled prince is angry!"
"Get on your horse and get back a bit!"
"Get out of range of your bow and arrows, and retreat!"
As soon as the bandits saw the bow and arrows coming out, they immediately turned over and mounted their horses, although they were a rabble, but the range of the bow and arrow was still a threat to them after all, so as soon as they saw the bow and arrows, they quickly rode back and did not need additional orders at all.
Before the order to release the arrows was issued, the thousand bandits, as if they had known in advance, fled to the outside of the firing range in an instant!
"Again!" it was not the first time that Prince Ibu had seen these pesky bandits, and every time he did, as soon as his archers moved, they would immediately retreat, without giving themselves a chance.
Prince Yibu had nothing to do at this time, he glanced at Lin Yu and said loudly: "Lin Yu, aren't you very powerful? Then show me a hand and help me kill those annoying bandits below!"
