Chapter 21: The Barbarians Attack
Ye Qing originally planned to start writing a military book after the beast tide ended, specializing in training officers, but then there were so many things that delayed it, and he had to wait until the end of this barbarian invasion to have a chance.
However, among the civilians, there are not no generals, and through a period of observation, Ye Qing also found some generals in his army.
For example, there is a person named Luo Bin, who is strong in martial arts, born in Orion, and once killed a general-level fierce beast alone. He also raised horses for the Xuanguo cavalry, proficient in equestrianism, and later the cavalry where he was defeated was defeated, and he escaped, and he was a horseman. Ye Qing was overjoyed, and immediately appointed him as the chief officer of the cavalry team, commanding the entire cavalry team, and enjoying the treatment of a thousand commanders.
Ye Qing's officers are really not proficient in cavalry, at most they are only qualified cavalrymen, but no one can serve as a cavalry commander, after all, the combat methods between cavalry and infantry are too different, and it will only backfire to let people who do not know how to command cavalry.
There are also two people, the two brothers Seinfeld and Song Yu, who were born in Orion, both have courage, stand out in the big competition, and have some talents, not illiterate martial artists, and were appointed as infantry commanders.
Now Ye Qing has five thousand infantry teams and one thousand cavalry teams in his hands.
After entering the barracks, Ye Qing didn't talk nonsense, and directly ordered the army to assemble, he needed to check how the recent training was so that he could prepare for the next war.
Give the order: "Parade!"
The herald immediately gave the order.
I saw that the army formation was moving slowly, and the battalions stepped forward in turn, passing through the point general's platform, or drawing swords for drills, or sweeping with guns, all in a uniform and orderly manner.
Although the various movements are still too dull, lacking a fierce spirit, and not being elite, they are also a fighting soldier.
However, I believe that after a few battles, they will transform into a wolf and tiger division, although it is a bit cruel, but it is undeniable that the battlefield is always the best place to train.
After the drill was completed, Ye Qing left the barracks and came to the meeting hall of the Lord's Mansion.
In the conference hall, after a period of talent recruitment, Ye Qing's subordinates began to have a certain amount of talent.
Although Ye Qing has been in this world for more than half a year, he still can't accept cumbersome etiquette, and every time he convenes his subordinates to discuss the matter, he directly enters the topic.
After a pause, he asked again: "Jiang Wen, how is the matter with the displaced people?"
Jiang Wen is a talent found by Ye Qing among the homeless, and he has a good set of civil affairs, Ye Qing temporarily made him the chief bookkeeper of the lord's mansion, similar to a position such as a secretary, in charge of the civil affairs of the homeless people.
Jiang Wen came out of the queue and saluted and said: "My lord, the number of displaced people has exceeded 20,000 at present, and it is still increasing, all the displaced people have been properly resettled, and most of them have begun to find some miscellaneous things to do to repair houses and repair roads, although it is not as good as when they were in their hometown, but they will not starve, but the speed of food consumption is too fast, and a large number of displaced people may make the law and order in the territory unstable, please prepare early!!"
Ye Qing said: "In the midst of the homeless people, they are recruiting soldiers once, and they have no strength to make trouble." And there will be a war soon, and recruiting more people can also increase our strength. I will allocate another amount of money and food, and I must settle the displaced people, and next year, I will have my own plans!"
Jiang Wen was a little puzzled in his heart, he didn't know what the adults had planned, but he could only retreat first.
Ye Qing and his subordinates talked in the government hall for nearly two hours, most of them around the problems caused by the outcasts, and also discussed the barbarian iron horsemen who were plundering the chaotic hills, but in the end they did not come to any conclusion.
I have to say that this is the sorrow of the human race, it has fallen to the point that the alien race bullied their own heads and had no ability to fight back, if the ancestors of the human race knew, they might crawl out of the ground in anger.
Ye Qing was about to announce the dismissal of the meeting, when he saw a horse galloping towards the lord's mansion, and immediately the soldiers hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and reported to Ye Qingyu:
"Report to !! lord, the barbarian cavalry has been found on the periphery of the territory, and they are currently stationed about two hundred miles to the north, with a number of about five hundred. ”
"Oh?" Ye Qing's expression changed, and he looked at the others as if asking.
Fan Wen said to Ye Qing: "My lord, there are many barbarians, do you want to fight or not?"
"The barbarians are good at riding, for the horse nation! Five hundred people are not easy to fight, but our human race really needs actual combat to improve the morale of the army, and has the mission of defending the territory, plus you can exercise the combat experience of the soldiers and the barbarians, you can fight!" Li Xin, who was the number one general under Ye Qing and the commander of the garrison, pondered and said.
"Fight!" Ye Qing said with a touch of anger on his face: "If we don't cripple this barbarian cavalry, we will always have to worry about the harassment of the barbarians?" If we take the city, not to mention whether there will be more barbarians coming, whether we can hold the city or not, it is tens of thousands of homeless people outside the city, and when the time comes, they will also face the slaughter of the barbarians!" "So not only to fight, but also to fight majestic, and completely annihilate this group of barbarian cavalry!" "Your Excellency is wise!" Jiang Wen pondered for a moment and said: " As long as this cavalry army is completely annihilated, then the adults will give these tens of thousands of displaced people a deep hope! They will plant the seeds of the barbarians in their hearts, and if the barbarians attack in a big way at that time, they will become the vanguard of rising up to resist the barbarians!" "Well said!" Ye Qing couldn't help but high-five and admire when he heard this. In fact, Ye Qing didn't think about it so much, he just felt that he should do it, but he didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns. In the face of the feud with the human race, no one would object, Ye Qing solemnly responded, looked at everyone and ordered: "The speed of the cavalry is relatively fast, please send a few elite cavalry to investigate the specific terrain and formation where the barbarians are located." “
Hearing that he had his own task, Luo Bin immediately took it out and said: "My lord, two hundred miles of land, I will personally lead the team in Xia, go out of the city immediately, and return tomorrow evening, and ensure that the situation of the barbarians will be clear to the adults." “
This is the first official mission of the cavalry team, in order not to mess up, so Luo Bin plans to go out in person to ensure the success rate of the mission
"Then there's work. Ye Qing responded with a smile.
Li Xin and the others next to him also followed: "My lord, I will go and sort out the army first, prepare for the battle, and wait for the news of Captain Luo to arrive and be ready to go to battle as soon as the news arrives." “
As the saying goes: A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find, although Li Xin, Luo Bin and others are from humble backgrounds, they are all capable and potential people, but they lack a platform to learn and give full play to their talents, Ye Qing believes that sooner or later these people will have a strong day. The generals walked out of the government hall one after another, ready for the first battle between the garrison and the barbarian iron cavalry. Dongjiang Town has more than 5,000 troops, although most of them are new recruits, but among them there are nearly 2,000 veterans who have been on the battlefield plus the soldiers of the original garrison, 1,005 infantry and 500 cavalry.
to deal with five hundred cavalry. If the tactics are right, it is not impossible to fight. The next night, Luo Bin really lived up to expectations and brought back all the news of the barbarians.
"The barbarians are very arrogant and confident! They are stationed on the plains in a grand manner, and there is no formal formation, probably the queue is circular!" Everyone gathered, Luo Bin took a pen and paper, drew a brief terrain where the barbarians were, highlighted the direction of the barbarians, and frowned and explained. "Stationed in the plains, the plains are conducive to cavalry warfare, not conducive to foot combat, and even more difficult to use tactics, so they can only be shaken, this battle is not easy to fight, and it is quite unfavorable to our side!" As soon as Luo Bin's words fell, Li Xin took the lead in looking at Ye Qing and said in a solemn tone.
Ye Qing, who met the gaze of everyone looking at him, and a sneer quickly flashed at the corner of his mouth, said confidently: "In order to better play the advantage of our infantry. This time, we don't attack the barbarians, let the barbarians attack us in turn. Qin Fei asked with an incredulous expression: "How is it possible?" My lord, now that we are going to sneak attack the barbarians and kill them all, how can they take the initiative to attack us?" Not only Qin Fei, but also several other officers also had a trace of doubt on their faces. Ye Qing replied confidently: "There is a way, it depends on how we use it." ”
According to Luo Bin's description, there are woods here, and it is only a mile away from the barbarian station, which is not far away, but it is not close. However, the barbarians are violent, bloody, and greedy, and we can send a cavalry to pretend to pass by urgently, leading the barbarian cavalry to chase and kill, which is a brick-throwing and jade, and the others are ambushing in the woods, eliminating and chasing the barbarian cavalry, and seizing their war horses, which is divided and annihilated" Ye Qing gestured to the map provided by Luo Bin and analyzed it carefully.
There is no way, Ye Qing's officers may have no problem charging and killing the enemy, but it is a little difficult for them to give advice. At present, Ye Qing has no choice but to take action in person, although he has not experienced war, he has always seen more than others, but this has also strengthened Ye Qing's determination to train officers to think independently.
After speaking, without waiting for everyone to react, he directly ordered: "Li Xin, you take all the infantry to establish a defensive formation here, and wait for the barbarians to come and attack you." "Luo Bin, your task is dangerous, you need to take your subordinate cavalry to lure the barbarian cavalry, do you have confidence?" ”
"Rest assured, I promise to complete the task. “
"You yourself also have to be careful, don't be bitten by the barbarian cavalry, the horses of the barbarian cavalry are stronger than the horses of our cavalry, you must pay attention to the distance, you are the treasure of the territory. “
Although the chaotic hills are hilly terrain, most of the area is very suitable for cavalry operations, and if you want to gain a foothold in this kind of place, a strong cavalry team is a must, otherwise you will only be bullied by others.
Ye Qing originally wanted to lure the enemy with his own cavalry, and learn to show off the protagonists of various novels, but after all, although he has rich theoretical knowledge, he has never been on the battlefield, if something happens during the battle, it is not what Ye Qing wants.
