As he spoke, the battle with the horse thieves had entered the final stage, and the horse thieves who had been blinded by artillery and oil bombs had no will to continue fighting, and when they found that their opponents were taking advantage of the momentum to cover up, most of the horse thieves chose to flee the battlefield as soon as possible.

It's a pity that these horse thieves lost their four-legged war horses, and the frightened war horses either left the horse thieves and fled in all directions at the first time, or they were stunned and could no longer be driven, and the horse thieves who lost their war horses were slaughtered by the cavalry guards who chased after them, and they didn't understand why the other party's war horses were not frightened until they fell, and began to wonder if they were cursed.

The war horses under the guard's crotch are not some kind of BMW horses, if it weren't for the deliberate domestication before this, so that these war horses are used to hearing the sound of cannons, the result should be similar to the war horses of horse thieves.

When the spear pierced the body of the horse thief, the steel knife cut off the hands and feet of the horse thief, the wail of the horse thief and the painful struggle before death made many guards who just knew what the real battlefield was.

In the establishment of the guards, the leaders are some veterans, of course, this veteran's statement is not very correct, the real veteran kills people and kills chickens, and even when he kills, he can not get a little blood, talk and laugh freely, such veterans can only be regarded as rare in the guards.

When chasing, the veterans of each team will intentionally or unintentionally avoid the vital parts of the horse thief, let the novice make up for the last knife on the horse thief, and watch the horse thief swallow his last breath, which will make the recruit grow up faster, without taking into account the feelings of the recruit, and the process is a bit cruel and ruthless.

The defeat of the army is like a mountain, and this sentence is especially true for horse thieves, whose opponents are never regular troops, and when robbing caravans on the grassland, they are often bullied by more and less and are bullied by leisure, and when they meet guards trained by the regular army, it quickly evolves into a game of cat and mouse.

The horses galloped on the grassland with the tacit understanding of the guards, and the horse thieves who lacked war horses were scattered, and they didn't think about gathering together to fight back and expose their backs to the guards.

A rattan spear ran through the running thief, pinning the thief to the grass like a humanoid sign, drooping his head, and taking one last look at the sprouts that had just emerged from the grass.

The Tang Army was armed with four types of long and short guns, lacquer guns, wooden guns, white dry guns, and Putou guns. The lacquer spear was a short spear and was used by cavalry. The wooden spear was used by the infantry, and the last two were used by the Yulin and Jingo Janissaries, respectively. The long and short spears of the escort equipment are made of rattan, which is very flexible, and there are many rattan in the mountains, and the rattan spears soaked in tung oil are strong and durable, even if the war horses rush to kill them head-on, it is not easy to break, and it is best to make cavalry rattan spears such as javelins.

Some horse thieves found that as long as they held their heads and kicked on the ground, the guards behind them seemed to not see them, and the horses passed behind them, chasing and killing the horse thieves running in front of them, and many more and more horse thieves pouted their butts and knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands, waiting for the final judgment of fate.

"Why don't you let all the guards ride on their horses and rush to kill, so that there are fewer horse thieves who escape?" Liu Bojin asked puzzled.

"If I could, I would also like my men to be cavalry?" Wang Peng said in frustration: "It is more difficult to train a qualified cavalry than five infantrymen, don't look at these rabbit cubs can ride horses, it is too early to become a real cavalryman?" Have you seen it, these recruits can't even hold the guns in their hands when they kill, if they rush to kill on a horse, when the two horses are staggered, they will inevitably fall off the war horse, and the consequences of falling off the war horse running at high speed, Shopkeeper Liu will not know it! ”

There is a specialization in the art industry, and Liu Bojin saw that Wang Peng's words were reasonable, so he could only watch the horse thieves scatter and flee, and the great opportunity to chase and kill slipped away under his nose.

Approaching dusk, the sporadic battles finally ended, a cloud across the Yanshan grassland ended in a fiasco, the caravan could not be said to be a big victory, five hundred recruits against 1,6700 horse thieves, it would already be considered a victory if it was not for the artillery and fire oil bombs that made the horse thieves lose the will to fight, and it was really hard to say who won and who lost in the end.

The caravan had 16 dead, 27 seriously wounded, 41 lightly wounded, and the number of serious injuries plus the dead exceeded 43, which was close to 10% of the number, and Wang Peng couldn't be happy at all.

The doctors accompanying the caravan were nervously treating the wounded, and there was naturally no shortage of alcohol and high-grade Jinchuang medicine, but they just sewed up people's wounds like clothes, and the feeling of several doctors was still a little strange. Under Zhen Qian's strict battlefield medical rescue measures, the mortality rate of injuries will not reach 20% of the Tang Army's usual situation, and as long as he can survive and take up arms again and step on a war horse, he can become an elite general, which is also unavoidable and expected.

There were a lot of horse thieves caught by the guards, the number was sixty-seven, and four hundred and sixty-nine horse thieves were killed in the battle, and none of the horse thieves who were seriously injured or lightly injured, even if they were, were killed by the guards at the first time. The horse thief lost a third, and it was difficult for a cloud to recover in a short period of time, "Clean up the battlefield and go to camp in Xiaoluanhe!" ”

Wang Peng gave the first order after the war, this has become a place of death, the grassland land in early spring is very hard, Wang Peng does not want to dig a big pit to bury the body of the horse thief, soon this place will become a feast for wild wolves, this year this grassland will be more lush is unknown, but continue to stay in place will be dangerous.

Even the exhausted guards got up from the ground after hearing the order, packed their bags and marched in the direction of the Xiaoluan River.

"Big leader, we have made a fortune this time, and we have captured more than 200 war horses, if we leave later, I am afraid that most of the war horses that escaped will return, it is better to leave a few people down to ......."

"Shut up!" Wang Peng immediately scolded Zhen Sixteen and said, "You ask Shopkeeper Liu, how many people are left, what will happen at night?" ”

The suggestion to leave immediately was what Liu Bojin told Wang Peng, Zhen Sixteen closed his mouth in interest after listening to Liu Bojin's explanation, compared with the war horse, the life of the guard is more important, Wang Peng is unwilling to exchange the life of the guard for the war horse on the grassland that is not too valuable, these war horses cannot be compared with the lives of his own guards.

More than an hour later, the caravan set up a tent on the edge of the Xiaoluan River, a pot of fragrant millet porridge appeared in front of the guards, after the fierce battle, the people who could still drink wine and eat meat were veterans, the guards who killed for the first time had already had a sallow face, as if they had been pulled out of their spine and slumped on the soft sheepskin, and they didn't even want to move their fingers, as long as they smelled the meat, they would immediately retch.......

Wang Peng took a sip of the liquor on the skin, and then threw the skin to Liu Bojin and said, "If Yiyun dares to sneak attack the caravan again at this time, I'm afraid we can only turn our butts back!" ”
