Chapter 116: Breaking the Enemy
At some point, the wind blowing from the West Sea became stronger.
The wind roared.
People are roaring.
A thousand cavalry had been suppressed for a long time, and they had long been in their blood, and finally waited for the opportunity to attack.
They charged with the wind.
Although there were only 1,000 horses, there were more than 3,000 horses, which swept down with the strong wind.
The earth trembled.
Sun Bin of the Warring States Period: The husband and horseman, can be separated and combined, can disperse and gather, for a hundred miles, thousands of miles away, in and out of the sea, so it is said that the clutch soldier is also!
Anything in the clutch, whether it is a cavalry or an empty horse, will form a whole.
It is not the people who control the war horses, but the war horses as a guided group.
The appearance of cavalry became the last straw that crushed the enemy.
Iron hooves go straight behind enemy lines.
And the Hu people already felt bad, and some cowardly people began to flee the battlefield.
Yang Zheng pulled out his Hua collar sword, "The whole army is attacking!" ”
When the enemy retreats, I should advance.
The infantry array advanced, the spears forward, the swords and shields surged, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
In the previous battles, they were either outnumbered by the crowd, or struck a sudden blow, or held the terrain, waited for the enemy's weakness, and suddenly counterattacked.
In today's battle, there are no fancy, only by combat power, only by martial arts!
First have the heart of the strong, and then have the posture of the strong.
That's how the psychological advantage is played.
The morale of the soldiers was so high that it could not be increased.
Nothing is more motivating than victory on the battlefield.
"Kill!"
The roar soared into the sky.
Yang Zheng also raised his sword to kill the enemy in the front.
The Hu cavalry completely collapsed.
Running madly towards the tribal camp, trying to escape for his life.
Perhaps when he went into battle, Hu Ren didn't think he would lose.
After all, the strength of the army was twice that of the Wei army.
Or ride against each other.
But the reality is so cruel.
Cavalry, as powerful as it is, is not used in this way.
Attacking with light cavalry into a formed infantry formation is a huge mistake in itself.
Maybe you can play like this against other tribes in the West Sea Grassland, but when you encounter a real strongman, you can only be defeated.
There were about 1,000 defenders in the Hu camp, but they were disrupted by the panicked cavalry.
Without an array, the foot soldiers did not form a joint force, and they fought separately, and were cut down by the cavalry who pursued them.
The crying and shouting in the camp shook the sky.
Women and children run wildly everywhere.
The gray-haired old man was about to fight with a knife, but he was trampled to the ground by his own war horse.
After the cavalry, there were the foot soldiers.
The Qiang camp poured into the camp, and the blood was all over the ground.
A massacre is inevitable.
All who stood, women, children, old and weak, were cut down.
An hour later, the war came to an end.
The recalcitrant ones were gradually cleared.
The captives hurried out of the camp in groups.
Ye Wudai has dominated the West Sea for so many years, occupying the southern route of the Silk Road, and has a lot of belongings, gold, precious stones, spices, silk, ...... Boxes were placed in front of Yang Zheng, and the golden light was dazzling.
No wonder there are many robbers in this world, and it is much easier to plunder than to produce.
Yang Zheng was sighing, the scout came to report, and the reinforcements from Linqiang City had arrived.
"My subordinates are willing to lead a thousand people and kill the incoming army!" Yin Chun said excitedly.
Zhou Fang and Yuan Xiao also asked for battle.
Even Liu Heng is tireless to fight again.
His subordinates had this fighting spirit, and Yang Zheng was greatly pleased.
But now the people are sleepy and tired, and even if they defeat the enemy, they will hurt themselves by 800.
But the defenders of Linqiang City took the initiative to come out to die, if they didn't fulfill them, they would be a little sorry for such a good opportunity.
"Tie the captives to the war horses and drive them to the front, Yin Chun leads the cavalry behind, and Zhou Fang and Yuan Xiao each lead 500 foot soldiers behind." Yang Zheng ordered.
"Obey!" The three of them went away overjoyed.
It was enough to leave a thousand men in the battalion to defend.
The captives were tied to their horses.
Many people know their fate, or cry, or gnash their teeth, or hang their heads.
But there were also those who shouted, "Give us weapons, and be willing to fight for the general." ”
Yang Zheng was very interesting, originally these people were going to be all cut down to eradicate the root cause of future troubles, but the words of these people made Yang Zheng's heart moved.
People are the most precious people in this age.
It doesn't matter if it's the Qiang or the Hu.
As long as it works for me.
"Why should I trust you?" Yang Zheng looked at the person who shouted.
Although he is also blue-eyed, his face is close to that of the Han people.
There are many ethnic groups in the Western Regions, and war is also a kind of integration.
The Huns have long been for it.
"We were originally Yanqi people, and our ancestors were also the people of the Han Dynasty, and we were later captured by Ye Wudai and fought for him, the general doesn't need to believe us, we will prove it on the battlefield." This man is also wise.
"What's your name?"
"Villain Shao Tiyan."
"I'm giving you a chance, and I hope you don't let me down." Yang Zheng said expressionlessly.
In these years, for everyone, survival is the biggest thing, the grassland is more barbaric and bloody than the Central Plains, today it is the Xiongnu, and it is likely that tomorrow it will become Xianbei.
Loyalty does not exist in the steppe.
The law of the jungle is the truth.
Yang Zheng understands them very well.
"Thank you, General!" Shao Tiyan was overjoyed.
More than 600 people were willing to do so on the spot.
Yang Zheng gave one of them a captured spear.
Then ordered Yin Chun to lead the cavalry to hold crossbows behind, and these people could shoot at any time if they had other thoughts.
After everything was ready, the prisoners who were tied up on their horses were in front, Shao Tiyan and other co-followers were in the middle, and Yin Chun's cavalry was behind.
Zhou Fang and Yuan Xiaoyin rode horses and foot soldiers at the end, just in case.
Yang Zheng closed his eyes in the camp to recuperate.
Soon, the sound of killing outside the camp drifted from afar.
Half an hour later, the scouts shouted outside the camp: "Break the enemy, break the enemy!" ”
The first thing that sounded was the cry of the captives.
Then came the shouting and shouting of the soldiers.
With the prestige of a great victory, high morale, and the consumption of prisoners in front, the co-followers charged into battle, and it would be unreasonable not to win.
After a short time, Yin Chun returned to the camp with Shao Tiyan and half-knelt in front of Yang Zheng, "Our army has won a complete victory!" ”
Yang Zheng opened his eyes and stretched, "You did a good job, you lived up to my trust." ”
"Thank you, General." Shao Tiyan stroked his chest with one hand, using the Xiongnu ceremony.
Yang Zheng said intentionally or unintentionally: "From now on, you are free." ”
"Generals, don't ......," Yin Chun arched.
was interrupted by Yang Zheng waving his hand.
This is the test he gave Shao Tiyan.
If you are not your own people, you can only be enemies.
This man is brave and strategic, let him go, maybe it will be a disaster in the future.
If he nodded in agreement, I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of this camp today.
Many people lack opportunities, and the same is true for the Hu people.
Those who can seize the opportunity and judge the situation are talents.
Shao Tiyan hung his head, and no one could see his expression clearly.
The tent fell silent.
After a few breaths, Shao Tiyan raised his head, his eyes were full of sincerity, "The ancestors of the villain were originally the people of the Han Dynasty, and when I met the general today, I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses, and I hope that the general will take him in." ”
Yang Zheng stared at his face.
The look on his face didn't change in the slightest.
For a while, Yang Zheng couldn't judge his true thoughts.
But these words are quite righteous and awe-inspiring.
The sage cloud, listen to his words and watch his deeds.
It doesn't matter what he says, the key depends on whether his words and deeds are consistent in the future.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you are inconsistent, you have soldiers and generals in your hands, are you still afraid of a Hu person who takes refuge?
If the knife is ruthless, the number of people who take refuge will increase.
With the growth of strength, there will be more and more such people in the future.
"Please, after today, you will be the commander of our army." Yang Zheng smiled.
"Thank you, General." Shao Tiyan let out a long sigh of relief.
