Section 316 Disposition
The loot is very rich. The most abundant property in this nomadic camp www.biquge.info are cattle, sheep and horses. In this place alone, thousands of horses and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep were gathered. For this reason, Yang Tianhong has made preparations before departure. A hundred Lizhou recruits were separated and drove cattle, sheep and horses back in the direction they came. There were still people waiting for them to answer them.
Don't live your mouth, this order is carried out very firmly. Men and women, young and old, all of them were killed. It takes a lot of force to cut off someone's head with a wheel knife. The army has specially trained a group of executioners, as long as the tip of the knife accurately cuts the throat of the opponent, he can kill people on the spot. Here, killing has become a kind of fun, an assessment to exercise the courage of Lizhou recruits. It's one thing to be able to kill people on the battlefield, it's another to be able to do it against women and children who are defenseless. However, when people kill too much, they will always become tyrannical, bloody, and cruel. This is what Yang Tianhong wants. The Xuanhuo Army is a group of howling beasts. If you want to train the new army in Lizhou to the same state, you need to keep feeding it with fresh human flesh.
The cattle and sheep brigade that gradually went south was followed by dozens of carts. It was filled with furs and cow tendons that had been scavenged from the newly destroyed tribe. These things belong to military strategic materials. Although the crossbows produced in Anzhou have begun to use steel wire as a bowstring, there are still many technical problems. In the coming period, the output of steel wire will not be able to meet the needs of the entire Lizhou New Army. If you want to make more crossbows, beef tendons are still indispensable.
Yang Feng had already ordered a batch of cattle and sheep to be slaughtered, and the tent was thrown into the fire to serve as fuel. The aroma of barbecued meat permeated the grassland, and the cavalrymen used their knives to cut off pieces of cooked meat and put them into leather bags, and then filled their skins with water. For the rest of the day, these things were their own supplies.
Yang Tianhong had a tray in front of him, and in it was a freshly roasted lamb that exuded steam. The freshly killed and eaten lamb is very delicious. All you need is a little salty salt for the seasoning. Yang Tianhong cut off the mutton with a knife, dipped it in minced salt and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it slowly. He turned his head and glanced at Hua Jun, who was sitting next to him, with a gloomy face and had been silent.
"Uncle Hua, you should be happy. This time it's out. Indeed, you can take revenge. ”
Hua Jun had already taken off his loose robe and changed into a tight-fitting cavalry uniform that was easy to move. Judging by his appearance, no one would associate him with the word "monk". Hua Jun himself thinks so.
Before going to war, Yang Tianhong gave Hua Jun two choices: first, follow the cavalry brigade north out of the grassland. Second, stay with the main force of the new army of Lizhou to deal with the army of the Aries tribe that came from the north to the south.
This kind of war is no longer a war of ordinary people against ordinary people. Whether it is Chu or Rongdi, there are monks and shamans among them. Of course, the mysterious forces from the cultivation world do not occupy a major factor in the war. The key to victory or defeat is still ordinary human beings. If there is no strong army. If there is no logistics for a stable supply, if there is no powerful country, then everything is fake. Even if the monks intervened, they could not be the decisive force in the war.
Of course, the role of the monk in the war was also indispensable. They can create a storm at a critical moment, or create some kind of mana energy field to create chaos among the enemy. Alternatively, you can use your mana to cause thunder and fire from the sky. Incinerate enemy food and grass in a limited area...... In short, the means used by the monks in war were very limited. But indispensable. Of course, if a monk from the enemy's army appears, your own monk can also take the initiative to meet it. In this way, the war becomes king against king, soldier against soldier.
The monks on Rong Di's side are all shamans, just like the southern Yue barbarians. This is an alien monk who is said to possess mystical powers. The origins can be traced back hundreds of thousands of years. The source of their power is also psionic energy, but in terms of the use and control of psionic energy, they pay more attention to the connection with nature than the Central Plains monks. In short, it's about having an advantage in manipulating the weather. On the other hand, the monks of the Central Plains, although they also have the wind and rain. Set up an altar and pray for rain with a sword. However, compared to the alien shamans, there is still a certain degree of gap.
The strength of the Central Plains monks lies in their deep mana, and their means to destroy the world when facing the enemy. The alien shamans were far weaker than the Central Plains monks in this regard. Although they can also use flying swords, they don't have such subtle control techniques, let alone magical means such as controlling sword light and taking people's heads thousands of miles away.
The three states of Chu, Qi and Zhao were the biggest victims of the Rongdi War. Although the Three Kingdoms also spent a lot of money to recruit monks to serve in the army, they also demanded that the monks help them as much as possible in battle. However, the fighting style of the Central Plains monks has long been fixed. They have no difficulty in fighting alone, and they can easily take down the head of the opponent's general among the hosts. However, it was impossible for the monks to intervene in earthly warfare by such direct means. Otherwise, you will be mercilessly punished by the rules of heaven and earth.
In a word: both the Central Plains monks and the Rongdi shaman can intervene in the war. But in any case, this kind of meddling must not be direct, let alone allow the monk to rush into battle with a sword and kill people. As long as it is stained with even a little blood of ordinary people in the world, it will be mercilessly punished by the rules of heaven and earth. However, if you use mana to manipulate some auxiliary forces, such as torrential rain, strong winds, earthquakes, etc., then the impact of these natural forces on the war will not be counted within the scope of punishment by the rules of heaven and earth.
Hua Jun's whole family lived in Youzhou back then. That year, the reason why Rong Di was able to cross the Great Wall was because Rong Di's army was followed by shamans, who used mana to create a strong wind, so that fireworks could not be lit on the beacon tower. Although Hua Jun was already cultivated at that time, he was not yet the opponent of Rong Di Shaman. Although the Rong Di Shaman is weak in terms of his strength, he is not very far away from the Central Plains monks. After a scuffle, Hua Jun was seriously injured and dying. Fortunately, the sect leader Zhong Yuanyu arrived in time after receiving the distress summons, otherwise Hua Jun would definitely die.
Hundreds of years have passed since the tragedy. Hua Jun's entire family was also killed in that disaster. The reason why Hua Jun followed Yang Tianhong was to take revenge.
Yang Tianhong chewed mutton in his mouth, his eyes were fixed on the herdsmen, women and children who were being killed by the officers and soldiers one by one in the distance, and said leisurely: "Uncle Hua don't worry, this battle will take a long time. The contradiction between our Chu State and Rong Di can never be eliminated. This is just the first step in revenge. Next, there are more Rongdi camps waiting for us to go to the bloodbath. Uncle Hua, you don't have to make a move. Just watch from the sidelines. Speaking of which, Rong Di Shaman's method is really worth learning. ”
Hua Jun nodded slightly, and the gloomy color on his face gradually became cheerful.
He really didn't know what language to use to describe Yang Tianhong. For wars, the Central Plains monks rarely participated. Even if it is a position in the army. He also rarely shots. Yang Tianhong's approach in this battle is very similar to that of Rong Di Shaman. When he set out from Lizhou, he actually brought dozens of Guiyuan Sect monks, and asked everyone to bring more than ten Qiankun bags. It was filled with grain, rice, dried meat, water, wounded medicine and other supplies.
Hua Jun had never heard of this kind of thing. The monks have a natural fear of the rules of heaven and earth, and as long as they involve the world, they have to think about their every move, for fear of being punished for violating them. Yang Tianhong is not. He obviously doesn't think so much about doing things. Even the arrogant act of using a large number of Qiankun bags is not hidden. The blame is here, from the expedition to the present, the rules of heaven and earth obviously have no restrictions on Yang Tianhong. Including Hua Jun, there were four monks who followed Yang Tianhong's cavalry. The supplies stored in these bags were enough for six thousand cavalry to consume for a month. Of course, it's always good to be able to access it on-site. Anyway, there are a lot of cattle and sheep in the herdsmen's fields. As long as you kill the roasted belt on your body, you can increase the consumption for a few days.
Come to think of it. Hua Jun's heart was hot, he stood up, saluted Yang Tianhong, and said seriously: "Grandpa's eyes are like torches, and he has been prepared early. In this battle, my Da Chu will definitely be able to win. ”
Chai Ning has become the first disciple of the Guiyuan Sect Luotu Palace. Yang Tianhong has indeed used the advantages of favors and resources to the extreme. As requested. Chai Ning painstakingly studied a series of formations. According to the rules and vision of the Central Plains monks, these so-called formations are simply not doing their jobs. What uses spells to generate air currents that increase the impact of cavalry by twenty percent, and what creates heat and light over a small area that quickly hardens the ground that has just rained heavily. There are even more jaw-dropping and incomprehensible methods. Chai Ning even developed a formation that could manipulate the air flow in a fixed range. According to Yang Tianhong's request, the effect of this formation is extremely perverted. It's just to let the mare's breath spread to the stallion with the wind, causing the stallion to come into heat and then get restless.
Despite just using animal instincts, it's really perverted. Hua Jun also doesn't know, what is the use of this extremely perverted formation in battle?
Although Yang Tianhong has this or that mystery, and makes a lot of jokes in the eyes of the monks, Hua Jun still regards Yang Tianhong as his master and serves him faithfully.
On the same day on Guiyuanzong Mountain, Yang Tianhong swore that he would take Huajun north to the grassland to find Rong Di to take revenge.
Now, Yang Tianhong is doing just that.
"If Brother Rong Di doesn't show up for a day, Uncle Hua doesn't need to do it himself. ”
Yang Tianhong threw away the sheep bones that had been gnawed clean in his hand, glanced at a few herdsmen who had just had their heads cut off in the distance, and said lightly: "The restrictions of the rules of heaven and earth are everywhere, and Uncle Hua must not take it lightly. The work of killing is left to the people below. Uncle Hua, you just need to follow the army and use the formation to give the sons and daughters an advantage. The grassland is huge, and it can take months to go around casually. As long as we have the patience to kill them one by one, not to mention just an Aries tribe, even if it is only the tribe, it will be disturbed. When the time comes, that's when we turn our horses around and go back. ”
Hua Jun was silent for a moment and said, "Grandpa, do you want to destroy Rong Di from the roots?"
Yang Tianhong narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, nodded and said, "These barbarians shouldn't live in this world. If they honestly follow the rules, then that's fine. But these guys were born robbers. If you don't have what you don't have, you must snatch it from someone else's house. This is true of money, of things, and of women. The people of our Chu State are all good people who are honest and responsible, but there is such an unreasonable robber around them. In this case, we can only use knives and guns to make Rong Di understand the truth in this world. If you can't achieve the effect by killing one Rongdi, then kill two, three, hundred, thousand, and ten thousand...... In short, Bengong must kill the heads of people on this grassland, and he will never see half a barbarian again. Presumably, by that time, the grass will also become fattening. This land can truly become our own. ”
Hua Jun was said to be full of blood boiling all over his body. He was a steady monk, but at this time, with Yang Tianhong's words full of murderous intent, the whole person became violent. At that moment, Hua Jun couldn't wait for a few short-eyed Rongdi monks to suddenly appear and let himself have a good fight.
The killing in the camp continues. The number of corpses on the ground is increasing. There are children who are no taller than wheels, and there are even babies wrapped in swaddling clothes.
No one left their hands. Anyway. The cattle, sheep and horses had long been gathered, and if they saw anything moving in the camp, they would slash it with a knife. If someone shows mercy, the officer who leads the team will be treated as cowardly and fearful of the enemy. When the time comes, not only will not only the military merits be obtained, but also the ridicule of many comrades. Even if he returns to the territory of Chu, he will never be able to raise his head.
The grandfather gave a death order: for Rong Di, no matter men, women, old or young, no one will be left. You can't take away anything you can't eat with you in the camp. All together, burned in one fire. In short, Rong Di must not be left with a usable thing, leaving a wolf cub that may grow up in the future.
......
The northeast of the grassland is the direction of Yang Qi's raid.
Among the generals of the Yang Mansion, Yang Qian is a cautious person. Except for the 6,000 main force led by Yang Tianhong, every Yang family army that entered the grassland was 3,000 cavalry. In contrast, Yang Qing's tactics are more cautious. He sent out more scouts. After discovering herdsmen's camps, before launching an attack. Five hundred to a thousand cavalry must be left behind. First, it was used as a preparation, and secondly, it was to wait for the herdsmen to show defeat in battle, so they ordered the whole army to assault.
It's not a bad thing to be cautious. Each commander has their own unique tactical style. What's more, Yang Qian can rely on this tactic to expand the results every time.
The herdsmen's land in front of us is medium-sized. It is estimated that the number of personnel is probably more than 30,000. The cavalry under Yang Ying's command rushed in from the periphery layer by layer, as if cutting fruit with a sharp knife. Although many herders fought back. But he couldn't help the hard armor on the cavalry of the Chu State. Listening to the crisp metal sound of the feather arrows hitting the armor, the herdsmen gradually lost the courage to fight, and were cut off from their horses by the Chu cavalry one by one.
The camp was captured, and Yang Qian ordered his subordinates to gather and send soldiers and horses to clean up the battlefield from the periphery. The method of handling here is exactly the same as that of Yang Tianhong's side -- except that the necessary combat supplies are left. All the captured cattle, sheep and horses were taken away. Then, ask the herders where the rest of the camps are. Then all the herdsmen were killed, and not one was left.
Standing in front of the corpse of a herdsman who had just had his head cut off, Yang Qian waved his knife and laughed wildly, laughing heroically: "Kill all these grassland barbarians." Our grandfather killed 100,000 Yue tribes in the south, and he is also extremely powerful here. Have you seen that? This is the effect that my grandfather wants! This is the army of my Great Chu State! My grandfather said, if Rong Di dares to kill one of my people in Chu State, he will let the heads of hundreds of Rong Di herdsmen be buried with him! Great Chu is mighty! Grandpa is mighty!"
The heroic laughter made the horse Yang Yang under the seat of Yang Qi unprecedented, and the 'Purple Rhythm-' roared.
All the knights of the Chu State saw that their homes were mighty, and their hearts were excited, and they raised their weapons one by one, and also frantically slashed and killed the herdsmen and prisoners of war gathered around them, and shouted wildly: "Grandpa is mighty."
This kind of battle is very simple. The young and strong people of the Aries tribe followed the Aries King south, and there was no defense in the camp at all. After a rush to kill, the casualties of the knights of the Chu State on Yang Qi's side were almost zero. Although the herdsmen were born cavalry, they were no match for the well-equipped Lizhou New Army. What's more, Yang Tianhong ordered a large number of hand crossbows to be sent from Anzhou. The weapon was so small and well-made that the bowstring was made entirely of steel wire. Zhang Yan and the others worked hard in the forge for several months, and finally made a sufficient number of hand crossbows before Yang Tianhong's army left the fortress. Even if they are not trained enough, they can attack with a crossbow while riding on a horse. Plus a bayonet made of stainless steel, which is simply armed to the teeth.
There is nothing special about the way of fighting, it is nothing more than the traditional tactics adopted by the crossbow cavalry after the formation of the encirclement. That is to ride a horse close to the battlefield, shoot arrows under the cover of the cavalry in front, and shoot down a large area of the enemy every time. The battle situation depends on the situation, if it is allowed, it does not retreat, quickly replenishes the arrows, rushes forward to shoot arrows one after another, and demoralizes the enemy.
No matter how strong Yang Tianhong is, he is just one person. He needs more men, more generals who are loyal to him. Selecting from among the generals is by far the best way.
A total of hundreds of Yang family members will accompany the troops out of the fortress. Yang Qian and Yang Feng belong to high-ranking generals, as well as a large number of other middle-level officers. From this large-scale war, Yang Tianhong could see the temperament of the officers under his command, which was greatly conducive to the selection of generals in the future. Yang Feng likes to take the lead in battle, and he can be the vanguard of the charge; Yang Feng is cautious and relatively rigid in combat, almost killing the enemy according to the tactics of peacetime, which is a prudent way and suitable for serving as a general. The rest, there are Yang Guang, Yang Lie, Yang Feng and Yang Si and others. Among them, because they were born in the army of Chu, many generals have the same tactical style as Yang Qian, and they all use the method of frontal combat. However, these people have flexible brains and are usually deeply influenced by Yang Tianhong. In addition, they all took pills, and Xiuwei broke through the foundation building stage early. The understanding of the art of war is far beyond that of ordinary people. (To be continued.) )
