The barbarian cavalry that fell to the ground had not completely lost its combat effectiveness, and the bows and arrows continued to shoot at the shield array, but they were all blocked by tight shields. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ruda still has a hand in dealing with the barbarian cavalry, and he smiled evilly: "Brothers, don't be pierced by your own thistle, pick it up and throw it over." ”

The thistle hindered the movement of the barbarian cavalry, as well as the movement of the defending soldiers.

With this order, the soldiers picked up the thistle under their feet and threw it at the barbarian cavalry.

The barbarian cavalry cursed while still shooting arrows.

The shield array gradually completed the encirclement, like an arc surrounding all the barbarian cavalry.

The bow and arrow are powerful, and the melee combat of the barbarian cavalry is also good, but because they are besieged by thistles, the barbarian cavalry cannot exert their combat effectiveness at all.

Occasionally, a barbarian cavalry jumped out of range of the thistle, and was beaten to the ground.

In less than ten minutes, all thirty barbarian cavalry were taken.

"Your Highness, you have to be the master of the last general, Captain Lu deceives people too much, in order to grab credit, regardless of the feelings of colleagues, you see my face falling."

The barbarian soldiers were escorted into the city, Li Kaiyuan had a blue nose and swollen face, and cried to Xiao Ming with a handful of snot and tears.

Lu Fei was disdainful of Li Kaiyuan, and said lightly: "Your Highness Mingjian, if it weren't for the last general kicking him, this life would be gone." ”

Xiao Ming saw clearly, he was not the mediocre Xiao Ming before, for the sake of being wrong, he said: "Captain Lu is right, he saved your life, you should invite him to eat and drink." ”

"Hahaha...... Your Highness is wise. Lu Fei laughed heartily, and there was less contempt for Xiao Ming in his eyes.

Xiao Ming was proud in his heart, he could be said to be notorious in the fiefdom, and few people liked him.

This time, he estimated that he could save some honor for him, but Lu Fei's attitude towards him could be seen to be effective.

"Captain Lu, these barbarians will be handed over to you, be sure to ask where they crossed Cangzhou from." Xiao Ming said.

"Yes, yes." Lu Feilang replied.

Then Lu Fei paused, seemed a little embarrassed, bowed down and said, "Your Highness, can this barbarian horse, armor and bow and arrow be rewarded to the last general." ”

Xiao Ming glanced at the Qingzhou cavalry following behind him, they were still wearing leather armor, and the horses they sat on were not strong enough compared to the barbarian horses.

When Lu Fei spoke, these cavalrymen also had their eyes shining, waiting for Xiao Ming's answer.

"You are the elite of Qingzhou, and these fine horses and armor are not given to you to anyone."

If he wants to live safely in the fiefdom, Xiao Ming must maintain a good relationship with his generals, which is just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Lu Fei looked excited, the elite equipment of these barbarians was much stronger than the broken equipment on their bodies. ”

At this time, Chen Bingcao, who was in charge of the military preparation, said: "Your Highness, this equipment and horses have been counted clearly, but two of the horses of this barbarian tribe are seriously injured and can't survive, you see?" ”

Xiao Ming's eyes lit up like a wolf, he hadn't touched any meat in the past three days, and he was almost hungry to gnaw his feet.

He said: "Dafu, let the king's servants kill these two horses, stew them out, and reward the soldiers." The cooks in his mouth are also cooks.

"Your Highness."

The soldiers defending the city shouted in unison, their Adam's apples rolling one by one, and their saliva was about to come down, it was too difficult to eat a meal of meat these days.

Xiao Ming also seemed to smell the fragrance of horse meat, and he secretly said to Qian Dafu: "Keep the horse leg for me." ”

"The old slave understands." Qian Dafu smiled treacherously.

At dusk in the evening, the smell of meat wafting from the Qi Palace, accompanied by the news that the King of Qi was planning to capture the barbarian cavalry, spread throughout Qingzhou City.

While the people were greedy for horse meat, they also wondered how the King of Qi had changed his temperament, and he was not frightened to hide in the palace to pee his pants, but took the initiative to capture the enemy.

Although this news is incredible, the people are skeptical and at the same time expect King Qi to really change.

"Your Highness, I asked, this barbarian cavalry came in from a cave in the Qinling Mountains by mistake." Lu Fei said.

Eating horse meat around the cauldron, Lu Fei showed the results of his interrogation to Xiao Ming, and the results of the interrogation of a rough general like Lu Fei have always been very fast.

"Cave, do any other barbarian cavalry know?" Xiao Ming frowned and flipped up the map in the science and technology library.

In contemporary times, this Qinling Mountains refers to the Huai River area, but the Qinling Mountains at this time obviously do not refer to it, but to a hill near Cangzhou.

In ancient times, unlike in modern times, except for official roads, other places were basically dense forests and swamps, which were impassable for cavalry.

It is precisely because of this that in order for the barbarian cavalry to enter, they must attack the city.

"According to them, no, Your Highness, if there is really this cave, it must be blocked, otherwise the barbarian cavalry will bypass Cangzhou City and attack Qingzhou, and we will be very passive." Lu Fei said.

Xiao Ming nodded, the stability of the fief is a must, otherwise he will not be able to develop the fief with peace of mind, which is why he risked his life to capture these barbarian cavalry.

He said: "You must not let the news leak out, you can personally go to Cangzhou to block that cave, and hide it." ”

Lu Fei took a big bite of horse meat and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, I killed all these barbarian cavalry, and not a single one was left alive." ”

This is the same as killing chickens and dogs when Lu Fei said it, but this is the reality.

After all, in such a dynasty where slaves still existed in large numbers, there were few human rights to talk about.

It's a barbaric time!

The meat of the two horses was definitely not enough for the soldiers of Qingzhou, and after distributing some meat to the soldiers who participated in this battle, the other soldiers could only drink some bone broth to satisfy their hunger.

Even so, they are satisfied, it is a luxury to be able to eat enough in these years, not to mention the broth to drink.

After a big meal, the relationship between Xiao Ming and his subordinate soldiers was much more harmonious.

This horse meat King Qi can give up to give them to eat, which is extremely rare in the eyes of the soldiers, after all, no one is short of food these years, and the King of Qi is the same, and they naturally have some changes in their views on King Qi in their hearts.

Of course, they didn't know that Qian Dafu had secretly hidden two horse legs.

"It's a pity that there is no wine."

Lu Fei secretly stuffed the meat and bones in his arms, he still had a wife and children at home, and he wanted to take it back so that they could taste the meat too.

Li Kaiyuan saw Lu Fei's small movements, and originally wanted to make a small report, but he swallowed when he saw Lu Fei's dangerous eyes.

However, he still took advantage of it and said: "It's so beautiful, the soldiers have eaten the last meal and the next meal, how can there be food for you to drink." ”

The embarrassment of the soldiers was seen by Xiao Ming, and he sighed lowly, when the soldiers can't eat, what about the people in the fiefdom?

Looking at the soldiers sitting on the muddy soil of the palace, wearing patched military uniforms, and eating the meat in their hands one by one, Xiao Ming said: "One day, I will let you drink as much as you want, and eat meat as you want."
