Chapter 258: The enemy retreats, and I advance

"Governor, come, eat!"

The Cangzhou camp in Cangzhou City was full of tables at this time, and there were sumptuous meals on the table, which was to reward the soldiers who attacked the grassland this time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, a group of soldiers and generals were eating and drinking.

Especially Niu Ben and the others, like hungry wolves at this time, did not eat at all, munching on the food on the table, and from time to time someone choked on the food.

After hiding in the mountains for three days, they were starving, and they didn't care about any image, and Niu Ben was like an ordinary soldier, holding chicken legs in one hand and pig's trotters in the other, and his mouth was full of oil.

"Old general, this attack on the grassland has gained a lot, you and Lu Fei have made outstanding contributions, come, this king will give you a cup." Xiao Ming said to Niu Ben.

Niu Ben raised his glass and said, "Your Highness is polite, this resistance to the barbarians is our duty." ”

"Yes, Your Highness, this time the barbarians are negligent in taking precautions, this time we enter the grassland as if entering a no-man's land, that killing is a pleasure, and the soldiers and I eat meat every day." Lu Fei laughed.

"Hmph, you can't go hungry anywhere." Xiao Ming scolded with a smile.

This time when they entered the grassland, Niu Ben and Lu Fei drove nearly 10,000 good horses into Cangzhou City.

Qingzhou horse politics has been sluggish, these good horses can be greatly improved, so that after a few years of breeding, Qingzhou will also have a large number of war horses.

Although Xiao Ming's purpose is to promote the Great Chongqing Kingdom into the age of firearms, the cavalry has continued until World War II, which shows that the cavalry still needs to stay at this stage.

Lu Fei said: "Hehe, but I, Lu Fei, almost can't eat this meal." ”

"What's going on?" Xiao Ming asked.

Without waiting for Lu Fei to speak, Lei Ming hurriedly said: "Captain Lu was a little unbearable when he saw a barbarian chick at that time, who knew that he was almost cut off by someone. ”

"It's a lot of what you talk about on dog days." Lu Fei raised his hand to the back of Lei Ming's head, and grinned at Lei Ming.

"Well deserved!" Xiao Ming scolded: "The barbarians have always been cruel, treating the people of my Dayu country as cattle and sheep, even children take pleasure in killing the people of Dayu, you can't bear it, others can't wait to eat your flesh and drink your blood." ”

"Your Highness, Lu Fei remembered this time, and he will definitely not show mercy next time, but this time thanks to the plate armor, otherwise the root of his life will be saved, and this thigh will probably be broken." Lu Fei said.

In this sortie on the grassland, in order to facilitate the march, the two thousand cavalry wore light plate armor, weighing only about 20 catties, although the protection of such plate armor was slightly weaker, but there was still a good defense against chopping.

And because it's basically a sneak attack, it won't engage with the barbarians' cavalry, but melee, so this full-body protective armor is even more necessary.

Although Lu Fei's words are light, it is enough to show the danger of going to the grassland, an ordinary barbarian woman is still so fierce, not to mention the barbarian elite soldiers.

If they were besieged this time, these two thousand people would really not be able to come back.

Niu Ben put down his wine glass at this time and said, "What is Your Highness's next step, if you can't find our traces, the barbarians will inevitably come again." ”

Xiao Ming said: "This time the enemy is advancing and I am retreating, in order to preserve the vitality and make the enemy tired to deal with. ”

Then Xiao Ming said: "And it will take at least ten days and half a month to organize the army, which can buy us a month, at that time the new city wall should be able to be poured to a height of five meters, and at this time the barbarians are not afraid to come, and while the barbarian army is coming, the rear is empty, you will attack the grassland from the cave again, and disturb their rear." ”

"Wonderful!" Niu Ben couldn't help but nodded, "This strategy can only count on His Highness and Zhan Assassin History, I, Niu Ben, only need to be responsible for tactics, and then let the barbarians bleed for thousands of miles." ”

Xiao Ming and Zhan Xingchang glanced at each other and raised their glasses together, "Dry!" ”

After rewarding the returning soldiers, on the second day, Cangzhou City continued the construction of the new city wall, while Niu Ben and Lu Fei and others recuperated in the city, waiting to set off again.

Xiao Ming commanded the slaves to build the city wall day and night, and in another month, the first layer of the city wall was poured according to the plan.

At this time, Chagatai, who had searched the grassland for half a month without success, almost fell into madness.

"Can anyone tell me where these Great Yu cavalry have gone?" In the bronze tent, Chagatai kicked the table away.

Guduo, Kuha stood under the account, his face was dead.

During this period, the entire Blood Wolf Tribe was searching for the cavalry of the Great Yu Kingdom, but there were no clues, but at the same time, no tribe was attacked again.

"Bannerman, I suspect these cavalrymen have gone back!" Gu Duo said.

"No way, the cavalry we sent is very timely, even if one escapes, it is impossible for all of them to escape, because one cavalry almost penetrates deep into the vicinity of the copper tent." Chagatai said.

The crowd fell silent, all unable to explain the problem.

At this time, suddenly a banner commander said: "A merchant from the Great Yu Kingdom once said that this King of Qi can do witchcraft, is it ......?"

"Fart!" Chagatai was furious, "Hexology? Do you want me to use this reason to explain to Beshantaiji? ”

Walking back and forth anxiously, Chagatai said: "Beishan Taiji has become angry, and ordered us to go to Cangzhou immediately to destroy the new city wall of Cangzhou, we can no longer waste time on this matter, and immediately gather slave soldiers!" ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at the flag commanders, but everyone was silent, and no one answered.

Because this cavalry could not be found, each of them did not dare to send troops, but the miserable appearance of the Qing tribe and the Kuha tribe was still in front of them, and they did not want to be the next one.

"Do you want to test if my cutlass is sharp enough?" Chagatai's eyes narrowed dangerously.

Seeing that Chagatai was angry, the flag commanders had to go back to prepare their troops and horses.

……

Cangzhou City.

After selecting the mares, the remaining 8,000 stallions were filled into the army, and within a month, Niu Ben and Lu Fei once again expanded the Guanning Iron Cavalry.

The victory of the attack on the grassland encouraged two thousand Youzhou disciples to join the Guanning Iron Cavalry.

Niu Ben and Lu Fei trained these recruits during this time.

"Your Highness, these soldiers are okay."

In the Cangzhou camp, the recruits were running back and forth on war horses, practicing chopping against the scarecrow on the ground.

When Xiao Ming walked into the camp, Lu Fei said proudly.

"I have a shelf, but I'm not proficient yet."

Xiao Ming looked at the recruits who were still a little rusty on horseback, these cavalrymen practiced slashing at close range, and it was very troublesome when they encountered mounted shooting.

However, if these cavalry are turned into lancers, it is estimated that they will be able to fight against these barbarian cavalry.
