Chapter XXXVIII
The cavalry runs fast on the horse, holding a spear to stab, the speed of the horses on both sides adds up, and the force on the gun is a terrifying number, once the cavalry stabs the opponent, you must let go immediately, otherwise your arm will wait to break, and even people will fly out with it, but this kind of technique of letting go of the stab is not so easy to master, sooner or later, early, you will automatically give up the weapon before you stab the opponent, and even if you kill the opponent when it is late, you will be finished. Therefore, this fragile gun shaft came in handy, as soon as it stabbed the opponent, the stressed gun shaft clattered, and it fell apart, and the cavalryman's arm plummeted without causing any damage to the body.
The saber body of the cavalry team is slender, with a slight arc, it is the standard saber shape of the desolate world, Ye Qing spares no effort in the equipment of the cavalry, and some of the high-quality iron that he finally collected has been used by him to make the saber, although there is still some gap compared to the war knife of the barbarian cavalry, but it will not break when touched, and it will not affect the normal slashing.
Seeing that the personal guard cavalry that he relied on for his survival was easily penetrated, Mu Tuorong frowned deeply, these cavalry are the elite of the clan, and they are also the guarantee of his escape, although he also has a small martial arts, but his martial arts are almost negligible in this kind of army of thousands of people.
The cavalry battle was just a quick word, and Luo Bin's cavalry team had already made a big circle from a distance after breaking through the barbarian army, and rushed in headlong again. Starting the assault from the other direction, a moment of effort, he actually let him kill one in and one out, and the barbarian cavalry fell nearly two hundred horsemen.
In order to prevent the barbarian cavalry from continuing to flee during the battle, before the battle, the cavalry team had blocked the entire road, in order to force the barbarians to rout the army for a decisive battle, although the casualties were much greater, but it could ensure the total annihilation of the barbarians, after all, the cavalry team was only created not long ago, and the long-distance chase was definitely not comparable to the barbarians.
After Luo Bin and the cavalry team first charged through the barbarian cavalry, they had already made way of the defensive road, Mu Tuorong originally planned to fight with the cavalry team and flee directly, not in love, but unfortunately after the first wrong contact with the cavalry team, he saw that the road ahead had been blocked, and Luo Bin's second raid was approaching in confusion, and then turned around and hurriedly attacked.
Unexpectedly, there were indeed heavy losses, and the barbarian cavalry, which was originally in their early three hundreds, was now less than a hundred, and this is still counting some of the people who have already hung the lottery.
On the other hand, the cavalry team, although there were dozens of people who fell to the ground, but for the cavalry team with a total of nearly 1,000, this loss was nothing, but it also expanded the numerical advantage over the barbarians.
The remnants of less than 100 defeated soldiers will face the elite of nearly 1,000 people, and the results speak for themselves.
However, the outbreak of the remnants of the barbarians who could not see the hope of escape at the last moment surprised the cavalry, and finally completed the task of annihilating the barbarians after paying nearly 300 casualties.
As the patriarch, although Mu Tuorong had achieved a little success in martial arts and became a general-level master, under the siege of hundreds of cavalry, he also hated on the spot and died under the indiscriminate gun.
At this point, the defensive battle of Linjiang Town has officially come to an end, and the next thing is to clean up the battlefield and have a series of aftermath work.
"More than 4,000 war horses and nearly 10,000 crossbow horses...... Are you sure you're not wrong......" Looking at Li Xin with an excited face in front of him, Ye Qing asked rhetorically with a face full of incredulity.
After a day's time, the battlefield was completely completed, last night's fire burned down the barbarians, but also let the barbarian camp lose part of the materials, especially the horses, under the fire all the horses were frightened, ran out of the camp, the soldiers responsible for cleaning the battlefield had to be retrieved from the field one by one.
Li Xin nodded affirmatively and replied: "General, four thousand and one hundred war horses, none of them are wrong." This is still last night's attack on the camp and injured a lot of horses, otherwise there will be a lot of them. In addition to these war horses, our barbarian camp found a large amount of food and valuables, and the nearly 10,000 war horses were used to transport these things......"
"These should be the materials that the barbarians grabbed in this southern raid, but the attacking barbarians didn't expect it to fail, so they will cheapen us. ”
Ye Qing nodded and said: "The more food is naturally better, we also have places to consume it in more, and more importantly, those war horses, now our cavalry can be expanded." It is better to use cavalry to fight with cavalry, the infantry is too dangerous when they are prepared, and if the cavalry wants to escape, the infantry will not be able to catch up for a while. ”
Three days later, the smell of blood that permeated the sky over Linjiang Town had dissipated, and the people of Linjiang Town had returned to their normal lives.
In order to be on the safe side to prevent other barbarians from attacking again, Ye Qing used the cavalry as a scout, and did reconnaissance within a thousand miles of Linjiang Town, but found no trace of the barbarians, so he completely relieved himself.
After careful investigation, I learned that the barbarian army had gradually returned, and now that it was autumn, the first heavy snow in northern Xinjiang was coming, and the temperature would drop at that time, which would not be conducive to cavalry combat.
And after a autumn of plundering and plundering, the things that can be obtained by the entire land of the human race have basically been obtained, and the task has been completed this time, even if there is a little thing left, in the eyes of the barbarians, it is rewarded to the human race, so that the human race can continue to produce next year, so that they can plunder and plunder again.
I have to say that this is a kind of sorrow for the Honghuang people.
Now that the crisis in Linjiang Town has been resolved, after Ye Qing arranged the affairs here, he took Li Xin and Luo Bin's men and left Linjiang Town with three thousand Dongjiang Town soldiers.
Calculating the time, Ye Qing has been away from Dongjiang Town for more than half a month, and when he came out, there were still a large number of displaced people rushing to Dongjiang Town, and he didn't know what the arrangements were now?
In addition, Linjiang Town's armor protection system and field division activities are in full swing, and it is impossible for Dongjiang Town, which is the foundation of Ye Qing, not to carry out it, and this return is to implement these two things.
After all, when the chief of the armor is elected, there will be a lot of talents emerging from the people, like the old gentleman in Linjiang Town, who is very good at civil affairs, and has been appointed by Ye Qing as the administrative officer of Linjiang Town.
This shows that there are still talented people among the poor, and now they only lack a pair of eyes to discover their talents, and lack an opportunity for them to display their talents, otherwise their ability is not necessarily worse than that of scholars who have obtained academic degrees, and of course they are excluded in terms of force.
In terms of defense, Ye Qing left a thousand-strong team of Dongjiang Town soldiers in Linjiang Town, and three thousand Linjiang Town soldiers who were still training in recruits assisted in defending Linjiang Town and managing the security of the town, with Qin Fei in charge.
Qin Fei is also an old garrison, needless to say about his loyalty to Ye Qing, he has a very good set of leading troops, and leaving him to defend Linjiang Town also has the idea of letting him be responsible for training recruits.
Now Ye Qing's subordinates plus the recruits also have nearly 9,000 troops, which has reached the limit that Linjiang Town and Dongjiang Town can bear, after all, the combined population of the two towns is less than 100,000, and the young and strong are only about 30,000, and it is already very reluctant to draw out a third of the people to serve as soldiers.
The distance from Linjiang Town to Dongjiang Town is not too far, and it can be reached in one day, but when Ye Qing returned, he brought a large amount of food and other materials, and if he was not in a hurry, the trip naturally slowed down.
In other words, Ye Qing has not observed the wilderness of this world since he came to the Flood World, taking the opportunity of this march, he is not in a hurry anyway, Ye Qing will go on an outing, walk for half a day and finish half a day, and take a good rest.
Maybe it's because the environment of this world is too good, and the trees as thick as the two hugging each other can be seen everywhere in the mountains and forests, and they are very valued, and a group of them are dozens of zhang high.
In the middle of this day, I suddenly saw thick smoke billowing in the dense forest ahead, and there was a faint sound of fighting and screaming. Ye Qing didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly sent Wang Feng's scouts to investigate.
Since the end of the last battle, Wang Feng's scout team has performed more eye-catching, although there have been losses, but after getting Ye Qing's nod, Wang Feng jumped up and down among the soldiers, and insisted on replenishing the scouts to three hundred, and all of them were elite veterans who had been on the battlefield, provoking several commanders to come to Ye Qing to complain.
Moreover, now Ye Qing has no shortage of war horses, and his subordinates can't find so many qualified cavalry all at once, so they equip the scouts with war horses, and they are also one person and two horses, which is quite extravagant. Six hundred war horses were divided at once, which made Luo Bin of the cavalry team very red-eyed.
Soon, soldiers came to report.
"Lord Qiyu, in front of you is a temporary camp of displaced people, which has been robbed and plundered by a group of soldiers and bandits, and burned and killed a lot, and none of the displaced people have been spared, and all of them have been killed!"
Hurriedly called the soldiers who reported the news to lead the way in front, bypassing the forest, Ye Qing came to this temporary camp for homeless people, but he was stunned for a moment.
What a tragic picture this is?
Ye Qing trembled and stepped forward, bypassing the dozen or so corpses that had died at the entrance of the village, and entered the camp, only to see that the old people and children were all slaughtered, and the female girls were humiliated! Their desperate and numb eyes stared at the sky in a daze, and they didn't bat at each other!
"Bastard!"
Ye Qing snorted violently and said, "Where is Luo Bin!"
"Lord Qiyu, Master Qianfu has gone after the soldiers and bandits!"
At this moment, Wang Feng walked out from the back of the camp with dozens of scouts and said to Ye Qing: "My lord, my subordinates are fortunate not to disgrace their lives and capture the bandit leader!"
"Did any of the bandits escape?"
"All the soldiers and bandits have been killed by us, and not a single one has escaped!" Wang Feng had red eyes: "These soldiers and bandits have lost their conscience, and it is difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart if they don't die!"
"What about the casualties?"
"No one was killed in the battle, only more than a dozen were injured!" Wang Feng replied quickly.
"Bandit leader, bring it up!"
After a while, the soldiers escorted a big man with a tiger's back and drank, "Kneel!"
