Chapter 40 Triumphant Return (Ten Thousand Rewards for Shooting Artillery Bosses)
"Go and see, where is the main force of the Donghu people who are attacking, and how far is it from us?" Feng Ye instructed the several squads in charge of the investigation.
Feng Ye also assigned a team of 100 people to escort these horses back to Dongning, and at the same time sent people back to Dongning to report the victory. At this time, the Donghu army pressed the border, and the people in Dongning City were panicked, and the news of the victory was returned, which naturally calmed the people's hearts. As long as there is no chaos in the rear, Feng Ye will sit firmly on the Diaoyutai platform. There is no fear of any enemy.
Seeing that it was approaching evening, Feng Ye simply stopped to rest, and the army ate and fed the horses. Wait for news from the Scout Cavalry.
The enemy's main force of about 20,000 people, about 20 miles away from our army, is preparing to camp and rest. "Feng Ye is only halfway through the meal here, and Tanma has already returned.
Feng Ye pondered for a moment, whether to charge immediately, or wait until the evening to steal the camp. Both have their own advantages, but if you go to steal the camp at night, even if you win, the enemy will inevitably flee in all directions, and the spoils of war will not be very large.
Moreover, the scattered and fleeing enemies are still a danger to the surrounding villages. Maybe when the day dawns, the Donghu people who fled will reunite. You can't fix these guys once and for all.
If you charge immediately, the other side has been marching for a day, and the people are sleepy and tired, and they are camping at this time, which means that they have not eaten yet, and the general army is to camp first and then eat. With this calculation, Feng Ye immediately made up his mind. Finish the fight early, go home early and hug your wife, isn't she fragrant?
Under Feng Ye's order, Dongning Tieqi instantly assembled and sorted out.
"The enemy is twenty miles ahead, charge!" Feng Ye stepped onto the tall horse, holding the reins in one hand and pointing forward with a bone gun in the other, and shouted with a raised arm. For the biochemical warriors, it didn't matter who the enemy was, as long as the direction that Feng Ye's spear was pointing in was the direction in which they charged.
Only twenty miles is only a distance of ten minutes for the Dongning Iron Cavalry, and the three thousand Dongning Iron Cavalry in white armor and white armor stepped on the afterglow of the setting sun and launched a charge against the enemy.
It's not that the Donghu people didn't send scouts, but the horses of the Donghu people, where can they outrun the biochemical war horses? Even if those scouts found the Dongning Iron Cavalry in the charge, and they hid it very well and were not discovered by the Dongning Iron Cavalry, they would not have time to report back.
It's not fast enough, there's no way around it. They could only look at the dust raised by the Dongning Iron Horse after it ran. I don't even have the courage to catch up. For these Donghu people, it was too fast, and it was like a lightning speed, and in a few breaths, even the shadow could not be seen.
The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, breaking the tranquility of the sunset, and the entire Donghu people's camp was being built, which was not completed at this time, and without the slightest preparation, it was assaulted by Feng Ye's Dongning Iron Cavalry. It's like being beaten in the face, and being beaten has no power to fight back.
This stunned the Donghu people, which can be called a blow to the head, where did the enemy come from? I don't know, the scouts didn't find out. By the time the Donghu people in the camp discovered the Dongning Iron Cavalry, Feng Ye's men and horses had already arrived at the edge of the camp.
After Feng Ye broke into the camp, he immediately assaulted the Chinese army's tent that had been set up first in the entire camp. That's also the best tent in the whole camp. With just one blow, the command system of the Donghu people was paralyzed.
"Kill, don't leave a single one. "Feng Ye didn't have the idea of recruiting prisoners, and he didn't have a mine. After accepting these Donghu people, you have to feed them and waste food.
The Donghu people who had the courage to fight were all killed at the first time, and without the leadership of these warriors, although the remaining Donghu people were numerous, they were just a plate of scattered sand. But they no longer have the courage to launch a counteroffensive. They could only flee in all directions.
Feng Ye sent a thousand Dongning Iron Cavalry to chase down those who fled on horseback. It's unforgivable that these bastards, even if they run away, want to steal his horse. In Feng Ye's opinion, the tens of thousands of horses in the entire camp were already his property.
With the speed and archery skills of the Dongning Iron Cavalry, no one could escape their pursuit.
The battle began at sunset and lasted until nearly midnight, when it was over, and more than 20,000 enemies were annihilated. A large number of war horses were captured, and these Donghu people were not one person and one horse, many of them were one person and two horses, or three horses. There were also large numbers of cattle and sheep that were used as military rations.
This battle was more cattle and sheep than Feng Ye had captured in the last time he entered the grassland for more than half a month. After all, last time, in order not to alarm the high-level of the Donghu people, Feng Ye chose to loot some small tribes. The jungle eats the strong, and most of the small tribes have little savings.
After cleaning the battlefield overnight, collecting some loot, and burning useless things, such as tents and the like, this grassland will surely bloom more bright and beautiful flowers next year.
Almost completely annihilated the incoming enemy, relieved the danger of Dongning, and had a large amount of captured income, Feng Ye was in a good mood, waved his hand, and collected his troops and returned to the city.
When I came, I arrived in half a day, and when I went back, because I had to drive a large number of livestock and horses, the speed was much slower, and I walked for more than two days before returning to Dongning.
Feng Ye, the king of Dongning County, faced the Donghu people, and the news of the complete victory spread throughout the city in an instant.
No one expected that in just three days, the 30,000 Donghu army that came to attack was beaten by the 3,000 Dongning Iron Cavalry, and they had no power to fight back.
This undoubtedly makes many people involuntarily have a doubt. "Are these Donghu people really here to invade the realm? No matter how you look at it, they look like they came to give gifts!" This kind of suspicion is not only shared by the people at the bottom, but even the county magistrate Li Wei has this kind of thought.
Are the Donghu people so weak? With this strength, they can still seriously threaten the frontiers of Daliang? They still come to Koubian every year? What do those border troops do to eat? Are the large sums of military expenses of the imperial court embezzled every year?
"Lord Wang, you see that the siege of our Dongning has been lifted, but there are still nearly 200,000 Donghu people raging in the entire Liaodong Town, did you just retreat and come back?" asked the county commander Li Wei carefully.
Feng Ye laughed and said, "Li Wei, Li Wei, no wonder you have been a county magistrate for so many years, but you still can't get promoted." You really don't like your boss.
This king is the king of Dongning County, what does Liaodong Town have to do with me? If you are not in his position and do not seek his own government, you have been an official for so many years. Don't you even know?
Their army of more than 100,000 people has shrunk up, and as a result, the king's 3,000 cavalry have beaten the Donghu people away and relieved them of the siege.
Do you believe it or not, if I send troops to drive out the Donghu people on the front foot, the officers of Liaodong Town on the back foot will play a copy of me? What do you say I want to do about this kind of thing that helps people to tears?"
"Your Highness, the officials naturally understand the truth, but when I think of the 200,000 Donghu people wreaking havoc on the land of Liaodong, those people are innocent!" Li Wei said with a miserable face.
Feng Ye smiled and said, "I can't imagine that you still have such feelings of worrying about the country and the people." It's a pity that this king only has 3,000 Dongning Guards, and it is impossible to protect the people of the entire Liaodong Town. It is the responsibility and obligation of this king to protect Dongningwei's one-third of an acre of land. Others, this king is also powerless!"
