Chapter 59: Scouts

Flo felt himself trapped in an infinite forest of guns, the opposing army's advance for so long, and it was still neatly arranged, not giving him the slightest space to find. He and his soldiers were struggling to cope with the waves of spear tips.

His formation was completely scattered, and after some soldiers fell into the bullet forest, they were stabbed and thrown out by several guns at the same time in the blink of an eye, and more were more than a dozen horsemen, and dozens of horsemen were forced into a narrow range by the gun forest, and it was difficult to even turn around, let alone pick up the speed.

"Kill, kill!" he shouted, swinging his knife and slashing at several spears that had stabbed him.

At the rear of the battlefield, Ye Qing has been paying attention to the situation on the battlefield, although in terms of numbers, the Terrans have a great advantage, but as long as there is a slight impropriety in command, the boat will still capsize in the gutter.

Now, almost all the barbarians have entered a state of engagement, and the time is ripe, and the cavalry contingent, which has been on standby for a long time, began to attack, giving the barbarians a fatal blow and completely laying the foundation for victory.

"Attack" With Wang Feng's order, more than 3,000 cavalry brandished long knives and charged towards the remnants of the barbarian cavalry.

The two cavalry quickly collided with each other, and countless blood and severed arms and stumps were splashed in an instant. The barbarian cavalry that lost their ability to maneuver, faced the Ye army cavalry with high fighting spirit and strong impact power, and there was only one result, and that was death.

The battle ended quickly, without any suspense. All the brute cavalry died in battle, and even those who did not die will be mended by the cavalry who inspect the battlefield to help them escape.

This is a battle that has been set in advance, basically the battle has not started yet, and the outcome is already doomed, which also makes Ye Qing have enough time and troops to surround the barbarian cavalry who want to break through, so that he has the result of the current annihilation of the barbarian cavalry.

What's more, Ye Qing didn't want the barbarians to know too early about the addition of 40,000 troops in his hands.

By the end of the battle, the night had completely darkened, and the soldiers had already lit up torches to illuminate the devastated battlefield. The dead barbarians had different colors under the light of the fire, some with hideous expressions, some with frightened faces, and some with calm faces.

Because there were too many corpses of the Qing soldiers, they would not be able to find a lot of firewood for cremation for a while, so Ye Qing had to ask the soldiers to bury all the corpses in the fields on both sides. More than 20,000 corpses, even if tens of thousands of people cleaned them up, it took more than half of the night to bury them.

"It looks like the trees on these lands are going to be particularly lush next year. That's the only good thing these guys have. Ye Qing said with a chuckle. In fact, killing people has become accustomed to him. He doesn't like to kill, but there will be no shortage of those who should be killed.

"The war horses on the battlefield are brought back alive and used to expand the cavalry. The dead ones were also brought back, and the soldiers were allowed to marinate them as soon as possible to make dry horse meat. "They didn't have much food and grass supplies this time, and it was too time-consuming to transport them from the territory, and they couldn't rob or rob the people, so they had to find their own way.

The barbarians' swords and some intact equipment were collected by the soldiers, put on horseback, and brought back to Wangjiabao together.

In the dark night, tens of thousands of torches formed a long fire dragon and slowly walked in the direction of Wangjiabao.

The next day, Ye Qing and several of his commanders were studying how to break the enemy and relieve the siege of Yang City. It's a pity that Li Xin and the others didn't find a suitable way after discussing for a long time, although Ye Qing wiped out more than 30,000 barbarians before and after, but now there are nearly 70,000 troops besieging Yangcheng.

It is unrealistic to ambush the barbarians to come out to rob and rob the team again, after all, there are more troops now, the targets are too large, and most of them are infantry, which is not easy to transfer quickly, and if you only use cavalry, the number of people is too small, and it is likely to be ambushed by the barbarians.

At the same time, it is really difficult for them to ask Li Xin and others to discuss a battle plan or something like that, after all, they had no chance to make plans before, and although they began to learn the art of war after following Ye Qing, most of them were still some ways to deal with them in a head-on battle.

Their military thinking is still limited to a small battlefield, and they will not jump out to see the problem, Ye Qing still has a long way to go to train them into generals who can stand alone.

"Okay, there's no way to do it, you guys send out all the elite scouts in your hands, find out the latest movements of the barbarians, and at the same time intercept and kill the barbarian scouts. ”

"More than 20,000 troops suddenly lost contact, and without getting accurate news, the barbarians will not stop, and they will definitely send a large number of scouts to inquire about the news. ”

"With Yangcheng as the center, intercept the Tartar scouts from all sides at the same time, blind the ears and eyes of the Tartars, and make them unable to figure out where we are. In the future, if we go out to fight again, we will detour, try not to let the barbarians fight our whereabouts, and at the same time, we can also use Wangjiabao as a supply point for us. ”

......

In the woods, a team of fifty Ye Army scouts was tracking a team of more than five thousand barbarians, who had just left Yangcheng to go out to grab food.

The scouts of the Ye army could not follow the barbarian cavalry too obviously on the official road, and could only get a little closer in some places with more trees. Other times, it was mainly based on horseshoe prints to discern the direction in which the barbarian cavalry was traveling.

This group of Ye Jun scouts has been closely following the barbarians for more than a day, and there has been no abnormality. Seeing the brute cavalry roaring through a forest, the scout team prepared to follow.

Suddenly, there was a "whoosh" sound of several arrows breaking through the air, and a few arrows went straight for the leading scouts.

These scouts were dealing with dangerous deaths every day, and when they heard the movement, they already knew that it was not good, so they hurriedly crouched on their horses to avoid the arrows.

Unexpectedly, these arrows were shot from different directions, and although the scouts reacted quickly, they didn't know which direction the enemy was attacking from. Only the neighing of a war horse was heard, and one of the scouts' horses was hit by an arrow, and another scout had an arrow in his thigh, and the other two scouts escaped due to their quick reaction.

Suddenly attacked, and another person hung up the lottery. But these scouts of the Ye Army, who had been trained in the Holy Book Military Camp, did not panic, because they had already encountered such a scene many times during the training in the Holy Book Space, and they already had their own ways of dealing with it. I saw that they quickly gathered the war horses into a small circle, took off the bows and arrows on their backs, and looked around vigilantly with their bows and arrows.

In order to prevent the crossbow from falling into the hands of the barbarians and causing more casualties to the Terrans, the scouts who attacked this time were not equipped with crossbows, but without crossbows, their archery skills were also top-notch.

Although they were suddenly attacked, the scouts of the Ye army did not have any sense of fear, and after besieging the city tightly back to back, the bows and arrows in their hands also shot in the direction of the arrows that had just been attacked.

"Ah......h Immediately after that, more than eighty horsemen came out of the woods and surrounded the scouts in the center.

"Prepare for battle!"

Although surrounded by nearly twice as many enemies, the scout captain did not panic and gave the order in a flat tone, as if to say something inconsequential. After speaking, he drew his long knife and looked indifferently at the brute rider opposite. The other scouts did the same, with long knives in their hands and a look of indifference.

One of the leading barbarians raised his long knife and shouted a few words, and then the other barbarians followed suit. These are some of the psychological tactics of the barbarians, using this shouting to stir up the minds of the enemy before the battle, and make them fearful. Thus losing morale.

In the past, when they encountered Terran scouts, this trick was basically tried, but now they encountered Ye Jun scouts who had undergone strict training, and they shouted for a long time and were stunned but did not react. It made them really depressed.

Seeing that his psychological tactics didn't work, the barbarian was so angry that he shouted "Wow Wow", and he didn't care about playing psychological tactics anymore, so he slapped his horse directly and rushed over with a knife.

In this small clearing in the forest, two groups of cavalry composed of scouts from both sides collided fiercely.

A brute rushed at the scout captain with a saber and tried to cut off his head. It's a pity that when his long knife hasn't reached other people's bodies, he feels a chill on his neck, and then his eyes are black, and he falls off the horse.

The first round of the two sides ended quickly. Ten of them fell and six were wounded. Ye Jun's scouts fell four here.

In the first round of fighting, although Ye Jun scouts had a slight advantage, the brute cavalry still had a great advantage in numbers.

The two sides turned their horses' heads and collided again. Blood was still splattering, and arms and legs were flying.

Dozens of skirmishes happen quickly and end quickly. At this time, there were only a dozen riders left in the field. The Scout Captain was one of them, but they all had several wounds on their bodies, indicating that they had just experienced a brutal battle. And all the barbarians had fallen to the ground, and their horses were whirling in place alone.

"Mission accomplished. It's time for us to withdraw. The scout captain still spoke in a faint tone, but his voice trembled. This is because of excessive blood loss.

With difficulty, he carried the corpses of his comrades-in-arms on horses, gently knocked the horse's belly, and rode slowly in the direction of Wangjiabao.

Wangjiabao, Ye Qing finally received the news brought back by the scouts, and also knew that when the whereabouts of the 20,000 troops were unknown, Wanyan Azhe dared to send a grain grabbing team, it seems that the logistics of the barbarians are already very short.

"Let's go to the house and study how to clean up these brutes. Ye Qing pulled Li Xin and the others and walked towards the temporary war room.
