Infinite Lucky Emperor
Chapter 31: oriole
Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize led the barbarians to run wildly in the desert for more than 20 minutes, and then they disappeared completely. In the jungle at the edge of the battlefield, the Daxia cavalry who had been hiding in six cavalry suddenly turned out.
There was no barbarian army at all within their line of sight. The barbarians who stayed behind in the barbarian camp were only a few barbarians in charge of logistics, who were driving a large number of slaves to prepare the army's breakfast.
The barbarian chief in charge of logistics beat his head with a headache. He really didn't know how much breakfast to prepare.
The granary was burnt the night before. Even if we tried to rescue it, we could only rescue less than one-seventh of the grain. It stands to reason that this morning's breakfast should be a little thinner, or even not eaten at all, so as to save food.
But early in the morning, the barbarian army was thrown into a fierce pursuit battle. When the army returned victoriously, the consumption from the leader to the ordinary barbarian warriors must not be small, and they must eat something dry to fill their stomachs. In this way, the food and grass reserves be in a hurry!
Alas, the whole battle is over, and there is no high-level barbarian in the camp who can decide this matter. He is a big boss who can't bear the responsibility of making random decisions, and he has a headache.
The barbarian logistics officer in the headache couldn't help but look to the south, where there is Bianlu City in Daxia. If you are optimistic, the army will be able to reach Bianlu City in Daxia after marching at full strength for half a day, and loot and replenish food and grass in time, then this breakfast will be enough. Can you use up some more?
The imagination is beautiful, but the reality is terrifying. The eyes of the barbarian logistics officer failed to see Bianlu City, but reflected the Daxia cavalry that rushed over quickly.
The ten commander rushed into the barbarian camp with five cavalry. As elite troops, they dared to fight head-on when faced with an equal number of barbarian warriors, not to mention that they were only facing barbarian logistical soldiers.
A few cavalrymen controlled their horses with one hand and wielded spears or large swords with the other. They quickly killed a few back and forth among the barbarians who stayed in the camp, and soon killed all the barbarians who were running away.
As for those slaves who were driven, most of them were from Daxia. Seeing this scene, they immediately knelt down and cried for help.
"You take the barbarians' food, and then run quickly. How far you can run and where you can run is up to you."
The ten commander pointed his spear at the granary and shouted loudly at the surviving slaves.
Most of the barbarian slaves are civilians who were plundered when they invaded Daxia. They are used like consumables. They don't care about their life and death. They force slaves to pay labor, and even drive them to the front to act as human shields during wars. .
In previous battles, when the Daxia army encountered slaves enslaved by barbarians, they would rescue them if they could. Unfortunately, they were really short of manpower now, so they could only let the rescued Daxia people escape by themselves.
It is very easy to distinguish which are slaves. Except for the lack of barbarian-like horns on the top of their heads, the slaves are all yellow, skinny, and weathered. At a glance, they can tell that they have had a hard time, which is in stark contrast to the tall barbarians. In contrast, there is no fear of barbarians mixing in with slaves and escaping together.
After receiving the permission of the ten commanders, more than a hundred slaves rushed to the remaining granaries in ecstasy. All of them grabbed a large amount of food, wrapped them in cloth and carried them on their backs, and took them from the barbarian camp. Weapons, bacon, milk wine, and even the last three horses in the stable who did not fight because of their injuries were taken away.
Although the injured horse cannot be ridden, if it is brought back to Daxia and cured, it can still be sold for some money.
In addition to scavenging the barbarian camps with hatred like locusts crossing the border, the slaves also pointed out the camps of the barbarian leaders and important areas in the camps to the cavalry.
The slaves searched frantically, while the six cavalrymen carried the barrels handed to them by their superiors, and dumped sesame oil everywhere in the barbarian camp, especially the camps of the barbarian leaders. , and poured sesame oil into the tent.
The cavalry emptied all ten barrels of sesame oil patiently, and urged the rescued Daxia people to leave the camp.
After the flames were ignited, tents spread from tent to tent. Not long after, all the barbarian camps fell into the sea of flames, and huge black smoke rose into the sky. It's a pity that the barbarian army has gone too far to notice that their camp no longer exists.
Watching the barbarian camp burn to ashes and ruins, the flames gradually extinguished because there was no combustible material, and the six cavalry left on horseback, catching up with the Daxia people who left first, and leading them to avoid the trap set the night before. , After watching their figures leave, the ten commander took the lead and continued to dig pits and set traps according to the commander's request and guidance.
At this time, the two cavalrymen who drove a large number of war horses back to Bianlu City the night before finally arrived at Bianlu City. They drove more than 200 barbarian war horses into the city as a group of comrades lined up in stunned eyes.
The warhorse was driven straight to Colonel Ma, and the cavalry told the officer in detail what happened the night before. Of course, they did not personally participate in the task, and the details were only what they saw.
This night's experience was extraordinary enough. After telling the great achievements of the two officers, the cavalry emphasized Cheng Huaiqian's request: more soldiers!
Captain Ma and a group of generals fell into a long silence and trance looking at the large number of war horses that covered the main street of Bianlu City.
The cavalry is a very precious class of arms, because the warhorse itself is a very precious strategic resource.
The cost of cavalry training is so high that Ma Xiaowei has been training hard for many years, and his subordinates have only accumulated more than a hundred cavalry. He had previously distributed twenty cavalry to Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize.
If the townspeople in Bianlu City hadn't praised the two warriors and protected them, Captain Ma had seen the battle in Bianlu City with his own eyes, and really wanted to recruit those two warriors, but he would not have dared to give them a chance to express themselves so boldly.
The result was far beyond his expectations. Well, the two young people fed nearly 200 horses in the Barbarian Camp in just one night, which is really, really amazing! Great! As expected of a hero who defended Bianlu City with just two people!
Ma Xiaowei was so excited that he even thought about how to get credit for the two new subordinates.
After a long silence, a lieutenant finally reacted and took the lead in complimenting:
"Congratulations, Colonel Captain! Congrats, Colonel Captain! Colonel Captain, you have a brilliant eye, and you are not limited by any pattern. The two warriors are grateful for your support, and they will try their best to help you solve problems. Your wise and divine martial arts!"
"Hahaha, the old man really did not see the wrong person, the two of them are good, good!"
Ma Xiaowei burst out laughing, and the surrounding subordinates quickly cooperated and praised. For a while, the scene was very lively.
However, under the harmonious surface atmosphere, some generals couldn't help but feel a little jealous in their hearts. They thought it was two stunned blue eyes, but they didn't expect to get Shangguan's blue eyes with good luck. Gentle, strong and strong, it is really unpleasant to the eye.
The cheerful Ma Xiaowei finally decided to assign another 20 cavalry to Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize, expecting them to achieve more gratifying results.
At the same time, he ordered twenty cavalrymen to take the horses to the south, and pick up the infantry soldiers of the barbarian battalion who were still on their way.
With warhorses, they have the ability to transport. If they can transport infantry to Bianlu City in time and rely on the city walls of Bianlu City, they will dare to fight the barbarians.
The sadness on his face before turned into complacency, and Ma Xiaowei couldn't help but be unhappy.
How happy Captain Ma was, the more unhappy the barbarian army was.
After running for another full hour, the little barbarian leader finally stopped his horse and gave a merciful order to allow his barbarian warriors to rest.
I didn't have a good rest last night. I didn't even eat a sip of food or drink a sip of water this morning, and I was so angry that my stomach was full.
During this chase, the little leader was threatened by arrows shot from the front from time to time. After his anger reached the extreme, the little leader became less angry. At this time, the physical signal of the police had already prevailed, so he had to stop and rest.
As soon as the order to rest in place came out, the more than 1,000 barbarians who had been running wildly behind the leader's horse for nearly an hour and a half could no longer hold on, and lay on the ground like dead dogs, not wanting to move their fingers.
This is not because the barbarian warriors are not physically fit, but they were tossed so hard that they ran at high speed for more than an hour, and the horses were tired, let alone them?
After the initial anger was covered up by exhaustion, the physical pain caused by running at a high speed became more and more intense. The barbarians did not know the meaning of continuing to pursue, but they did not dare to disobey the order and did not dare to fall behind, so they had to drag their feet. Legs, run to the point of being out of breath.
At this time, it was finally time to rest, and the barbarian warrior could only wish to grow on the ground and never stand up again.
However, if the barbarians wanted to rest, they had to ask Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize if they agreed.
Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize, who were running in front, were unhappy when they saw that the barbarians were no longer chasing after them. How could this be possible? It is said that the good chase must have a beginning and an end, how can it be abandoned halfway?
The two of them simply turned their horses around and returned to the surrounding barbarians with their cavalry. They stopped the horse bows at a distance of less than 50 meters from the barbarian army and shot arrows at the barbarians.
How can the barbarians endure such provocative behavior of the Daxia cavalry?
The sober barbarians saw this scene and their anger jumped to the top of their heads again, but looking around, there were very few barbarians who could stand up and resist.
Even if the eight barbarian leaders with good physical strength put down their posture to help their men to block arrows, they could not stop the more than ten arrows that were shot at the same time.
As for the barbarians who have collapsed into a pile on the ground, they are too lazy to move their bodies to avoid them. .
Especially in the previous pursuit, the ordinary barbarian warriors have discovered that the main target of the Daxia cavalry is the high-level barbarians above the small boss. Compared with the ordinary barbarians, the security is higher, so the ordinary barbarians simply do not resist.
The barbarians didn't have the energy to fight back, and the Daxia cavalry was rude, one arrow at a time, the bow was full, the aim was good, and it kept shooting.
