Iron Dynasty

Commander, come, eat!

The Cangzhou Camp in Cangzhou City was full of tables at this time, and the table was filled with hearty meals. This was to reward the soldiers who attacked the grasslands this time.

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

In particular, Niuben and the crowd, like hungry wolves, had nothing to eat at this time, munching on the food on the table, and some people choked on the food from time to time.

After hiding in the mountains for three days, they were starved to death. How could they care about their image? Niu Ben was just like an ordinary soldier, holding a chicken leg in one hand and a pig's hoof in the other, and his mouth was full of oil.

Old general, this attack on the grasslands has yielded a lot. You and Lu Fei have made outstanding contributions. Come, this king will give you a toast. Xiao Ming said to Niu Ben.

Niu Ben raised his glass and said, Your Highness is polite, it is my duty to resist the barbarians.

Yeah, Your Highness, this time the barbarians neglected to take precautions. This time we entered the grasslands as if we were entering a land of no one. It was a pleasure to kill. The soldiers and I eat meat every day. Lu Fei laughed.

Hmph, you won't be hungry anywhere. Xiao Ming scolded with a smile.

When entering the grassland this time, Niu Ben and Lu Fei drove nearly 10,000 good horses into Cangzhou City.

Qingzhou horse politics has been sluggish, but these good horses can be greatly improved. In this way, after several years of breeding, Qingzhou will also have a large number of war horses.

Although Xiao Ming's purpose was to push the Great Yu Kingdom into the age of firearms, the cavalry was an arm that lasted until World War II, which shows that it is still necessary for the cavalry to stay at this stage.

Lu Fei said, Hey, but I, Lu Fei, almost couldn't eat this meal.

What's the matter? Xiao Ming asked.

Before Lu Fei could speak, Lei Ming hurriedly said, Xiaowei Lu was a little unbearable when he saw a barbarian chick. Who knew that he was almost cut off by someone.

You talk too much. Lu Fei raised his hand to the back of Lei Ming's head, and Lei Ming grinned.

Deserving it! Xiao Ming scolded: The barbarians have always been ruthless, treating the people of the Great Yu country like cattle and sheep, and even children take pleasure in killing the people of the Great Yu country. your blood.

His Royal Highness, Lu Fei remembered this time, and will never show mercy next time, but this time thanks to the plate armor, otherwise the lifeblood was saved, and this thigh would have been broken, Lu Fei said.

This time, for the convenience of marching on the grasslands, the two thousand cavalry wore light plate armor, which weighed only about 20 pounds. Although such plate armor was slightly weaker in protection, it still had a good defense against slashing.

And because it is basically a sneak attack, it will not fight with the barbarian horses and shooters, but melee combat, this full-body protective armor is even more necessary.

Although Lu Fei's words were light, it was enough to explain the danger of going to the grasslands. An ordinary barbarian woman is 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 return.

Niu Ben put down his glass at this moment and said, What's your next step, Your Highness, if we can't find any trace of us, the barbarians will definitely come again with an army.

Xiao Ming said: This time, the enemy is advancing and we are retreating, in order to preserve the vitality and make the enemy tired to cope. After this search, the barbarians are also exhausted, and they will have to be repaired for a while.

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

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

Xiao Ming and Zhan Xingchang looked at each other, toasted together, Go!

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

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

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

Who can tell me where these Da Yu cavalry went? In the copper tent, Chagatai kicked the table away.

Guduo, Koolha stood under the account with a face of ashes.

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

Banner, I suspect that these cavalrymen have already returned! Gu Duo said.

Impossible. The cavalry we sent was very timely. Even if one escaped, it was impossible for all of them to escape, because one of the cavalry went deep into the vicinity of the copper tent, Chagatai said.

Everyone fell into silence, and none of them could explain the problem.

At this time, a banner leader suddenly said: A businessman from the Great Yu Kingdom once said that this King Qi can do sorcery. Could it be...

Fart! Chagatai was furious. Witchcraft? Do you want me to use this reason to explain to Beishantaiji?

Walking back and forth anxiously, Chagatai said, Beishantaiji is already angry, so we immediately go to Cangzhou to destroy Cangzhou's new city wall. We can no longer waste time on this matter, and immediately summon slave soldiers!

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

Because the 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.

Do you want to try if my machete is sharp enough? Chagatai narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Seeing Chagatai's anger, the flag leaders had to go back to prepare troops and horses.

...

Cangzhou City.

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

The victory in attacking the grassland encouraged two thousand Youzhou disciples to join the Guanning Iron Cavalry.

Niu Ben and Lu Fei trained these recruits during their free time.

Your Highness, are these soldiers okay?

In the Cangzhou camp, the recruits were rushing back and forth on horses, practicing hacking against the scarecrows on the ground.

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

The shelf is there, but I'm not yet skilled.

Xiao Ming looked at the new recruits who were still a little unfamiliar with horseback riding. These cavalrymen practiced cutting and slashing at close range, and it was very troublesome when they encountered horseback shooting.

However, if these cavalry were turned into lancers, it is estimated that they would be able to deal with these barbarians.
