Chapter 43: The Aftermath
A big drama of capturing Achili alive came to a vigorous end, Lin Qi and others not only made Achiri's tribe a chicken, but finally captured Achili alive and returned to Windy City as they wished.
When the Liuli Army was celebrating this small victory, they didn't know that the Northern Army camp and the grassland people were blowing up at the same time!
Up to now, although Dahua and the grassland have been facing each other on the border, the two sides have not officially declared war, and they are still deploying in an orderly manner, after all, it is not yet time to completely tear their faces, so the two sides still maintain a certain tacit understanding, but they did not expect that this incident would instantly break the balance that had been maintained before.
Sneak attack on Achili, capture Achili alive, it is said that when this guy was captured by the Liuli Army, he even had his butt bare, such a thing, it does sound very uplifting, but in the face of the grassland people coming to the door to negotiate and accountability, it made the Dahua military quite a headache.
This kind of action, it stands to reason that at least they should be ventilated in advance, but I didn't expect that the Liuli Army was done, they were the last one to know, I originally thought that the Liuli Army had just arrived in a remote place like Wind City, and it could settle down a little, but I didn't expect that it would cause such a big thing in just a few days, although the Liuli Army was nominally subordinate to the Northern Army, but his command was independent, and this Qin Feiling had the right to act arbitrarily, and the entire Dahua, I am afraid that except for Emperor Yang and Generalissimo Peng Mianzhao, it is estimated that no one can restrain him.
And the grassland people are very angry, although this Achili is not a big man, but it seems to have the royal blood of the grassland people, for this person, he specially sent someone to negotiate, not only asked Dahua to hand over the person intact, and even asked for compensation and apology, so arrogant and rude, and was finally annoyed by the Dahua military bombed back.
At this time, the old marshal Peng Mianzhao had also returned to the Northern Army, but he laughed when he heard this, and even expressed his appreciation for Qin Feiling. And the old marshal's meaning is actually very simple - "Although this Achili can only be regarded as a small evil, as long as it is an enemy who violates my Dahua border, it cannot be easily forgiven!" - Anyway, it is a meaning, let people go, don't talk about it.
What's more, this Liuli Army is also Dahua's army after all, even in the face of the pressure of the main force of the grassland people, the northern army said that it would wipe Qin Feiling's ass, not only refused the request of the grassland people, but also announced in righteous words that this was a punishment for Achiri's crimes, and after several fruitless negotiations in the grassland, he finally threatened to use force!
In May, the Prairie people had two armies that pressed towards the side of Windy City, and when Dahua got the news, the Prairie people had already come a hundred miles away, and in the case of avoiding conflict with Dahua's main army, they did not intend to let go of this new army stationed in Windy City.
These two steppe troops, from two tribes, a total of 10,000 horses, almost equal to the number of the glass army, but these 10,000 people are all cavalry, simply compared to the combat effectiveness, but much stronger, not to mention that now the wind city can not be used as a barrier, and a battle, must face the enemy in the vast wasteland, so that the advantage of the steppe cavalry is much more obvious.
The Liuli Army camp that learned the news was also mixed about this, happy that the enemy really killed it as expected, and worried about how the new Liuli Army could win in the face of a strong enemy.
"Afraid of what he will do, our Liuli Army is all elite, will we still be afraid of him and these prairie dogs?"
Most people are still in favor of facing the enemy head-on and speaking with strength, but Qin Feiling doesn't think so.
"If you need to finish the battle, I naturally agree with this, but everyone must understand that this is the first battle of our Liuli Army, in order to have more say in the military department in the future, of course we have to win, and even win beautifully, but then again, we will not just fight this battle, in the future, we will go to the main battlefield, and compete with the main force of the grassland people, if we fight with the enemy here, even if we win, it will be a thousand injuries to the enemy and eight hundred self-losses, but how many men and horses do you think can be made up for us in the country?"
What Qin Feiling said is reasonable, everyone is not a brainless person, as soon as the excitement passes, after calming down, they naturally understand the difficulty.
"General, what do you have a good idea?"
"I can't talk about any ideas for the time being, but I do have some ideas. Qin Feiling glanced around at everyone, and then continued, "To put it mildly, although there are many cavalry in our army, compared with the steppe people, in terms of both numbers and combat power, they are actually inferior, and if the infantry is placed in such a wilderness to fight the enemy, I am afraid that they will only be run over by the cavalry at that time! Although our army is more numerous, it is actually the other party that is stronger!"
Qin Feiling said this, first of all, it aroused the dissatisfaction of Deng Linlong and Fang Yingjie, these two people, one was the general of the Forbidden Army Light Cavalry Army, and the other was the leader of the Northern Army Armored Cavalry Army, seeing Qin Feiling boasting about the enemy like this, he was naturally resentful.
"General, even if the cavalry of the steppe people is powerful, there is no need to be so arrogant, all the officers and men of our army are brave and fearless, and they can fight well, and they will definitely not be afraid of the cavalry of the steppe people, if they die on the battlefield, the horse leather shroud is the fate of our sergeants, and we will definitely not retreat!
Seeing that the two of them were actually the same enemy and asked for their lives together, Qin Feiling laughed.
"The two generals are a little restless, in fact, Qin did not deliberately belittle the soldiers of our army, if it is really compared to blood and skills, the officers and soldiers of our army will definitely not be weaker than anyone, I firmly believe in this, but even so, our army is actually not as good as the grassland people, this is the gap caused by congenital factors, it is the destiny of heaven!"
Hearing this, everyone seemed to gradually understand Qin Feiling's intentions.
"General" means...... "Adjutant General Xiao Yue first saw the crux of the problem.
"Yes, the gap between the horses, in fact, this is the biggest gap between us and the steppe cavalry!"
The horse that Qin Feiling said is naturally worthy of being a war horse ridden by the cavalry of both sides. You know, Huma is taller, more robust, faster to run, and more durable than Hanma, which is a natural decision and cannot be changed.
And the grassland people were originally a nation on horseback, both men and women, since childhood with horses, each is a good horseback rider, and even some people have learned the skills of veterinarians, and these grassland cavalry is even more powerful, equestrianism is naturally better, these reasons, naturally caused the reality that the Dahua cavalry is not as good as the grassland horseback.
"What does the general mean is to attack the opponent's warhorse?"
"Yes, if you want to eliminate the gap between each other, you should naturally start from the roots, since we are already backward, of course we should avoid its edge, this is the strategy of military conquest!" Qin Feiling smiled to himself, and suddenly showed his might, "For the grassland cavalry, the war horses are like their siblings, cut off their siblings, and these grassland people will be self-defeating, but this is just an idea, how to do it, it depends on what good ideas you have." ”
Now that they have a general direction, everyone can start to deal with it, and at this time, Qin Feiling spoke again.
"There is another thing, that is, about these two steppe troops, according to the current situation, these two steppe troops belong to different tribes, although I don't know the specific situation, but they are both for Achiri, if they can be divided, it will be easier to deal with than a complete army!"
"It's easy to say, there are sergeants in the army who are proficient in grassland dialect, let's bring Achili over for interrogation, and it will naturally be clear!
Listening to Fang Yingjie's words, Qin Feiling nodded.
"That's it, you go and arrange it!"
