Chapter 258: The enemy retreats, I advance

"Captain, come and eat!"
At this time, the Cangzhou Camp in Cangzhou City was full of tables, and the tables were full of rich meals. This was to reward the soldiers who attacked the grassland this time.
At this time, a group of soldiers and generals were eating and drinking.
Especially the people in Niu Ben, who are like hungry wolves at this time, have nothing to eat, munching on the food on the table, and sometimes someone chokes on the food.
After hiding in the mountains for three days, they were starving, and they were so worried about their image. Niu Ben was like an ordinary soldier, holding a chicken leg in one hand and a pig's hoof in the other, and his mouth filled with oil.
"Old general, this time the attack on the grassland has been very rewarding. You and Lu Fei have made outstanding contributions. Come, this king will offer you a cup." Xiao Ming said to Niu Ben.
Niu Ben raised his glass and said: "His Royal Highness is polite, this is my duty to resist the barbarians."
"Yes, Your Highness, this time the barbarians were negligent. This time we entered the grassland as if we were entering the land of no one. It was a pleasure to kill. The soldiers and I eat meat every day." Lu Fei laughed.
"Hmph, you can't be hungry anywhere." Xiao Ming scolded with a smile.
This time into the grassland, Niu Ben and Lu Fei drove nearly ten thousand good horses into Cangzhou City.
Qingzhou horse administration has been sluggish. The entry of 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 advance the Great Yu Kingdom into the firearms age, the cavalry was a unit that lasted until World War II, which shows that it is necessary for the cavalry to stay at this stage.
Lu Fei said, "Hey, but Lu Fei almost can't eat this meal."
"What's the matter?" Xiao Ming asked.
Without waiting for Lu Fei to speak, Lei Ming rushed and said: "Lieutenant Lu saw a barbarian chick and was unbearable. Who knew he was almost killed by a stab."
"Just talk about your dog days." Lu Fei raised his hand to the back of Thunder's head, grinning with thunderous teeth.
"Deserve it!" Xiao Ming cursed: "The barbarians have always been ferocious. They regard the people of my country like cattle and sheep. Even children take pleasure in killing the people of China. Your blood."
"His Royal Highness, Lu Fei remembered this time, and next time I will definitely not be merciful, but this time thanks to the plate armor, otherwise the life will be saved and this thigh will probably be broken." Lu Fei said.
In this attack on the grassland, for the convenience of the march, the two thousand cavalry wore lightweight plate armor, weighing only about 20 jin. Although this type of plate armor was slightly weaker, it still had a good defense against hacking.
And because it's basically a sneak attack, it won't fight the barbarian's riding and shooting, but close combat, this whole body protective armor is even more necessary.
Although Lu Fei's words are light and flirty, it is enough to explain the danger of going to the grassland. An ordinary barbarian woman is so fierce, not to mention the barbarian elite.
If they were besieged this time, these two thousand people would really not be able to return.
Niu Ben put down his wine glass and said, "His Royal Highness has any plans for the next step. If we can't find our trail, the barbarians will surely come again."
Xiao Ming said: "This time the enemy will advance and I will retreat, in order to preserve the vitality and make the enemy exhausted. After this search, the barbarians are also tired of people and horses, and they will have to repair for a while."
Then Xiao Ming said: "It takes at least ten and a half days to organize the army. This total can win us a month. At that time, the new city wall should be poured to a height of five meters. At this time the barbarians are here. Don't be afraid, and taking advantage of the barbarian army, and 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 rely on His Royal Highness and the exhibition of the governor. My Niu Ben only needs to be in charge of tactics, and then let the barbarians bleed thousands of miles."
Xiao Ming and Zhan Xingchang looked at each other and toasted together, "Go!"
The returning soldiers were rewarded. On the second day, Cangzhou City continued the construction of the new city wall, while Niu Ben and Lu Fei and the others recharged in the city, waiting to set off again.
Xiao Ming commanded the slaves to build the city wall day and night. In another month, the first layer of the city wall was poured according to plan.
At this time, Chagatai, who had searched the grassland for half a month without success, almost fell into madness.
"Who can tell me where these great Yu country cavalry have gone?" In the copper tent, Chagatai kicked the table fiercely.
Gu Duo, Kuhari was under the account, his face was ashamed.
During this period, the entire blood wolf tribe was searching for the cavalry of Great Yu, but there was no clue, but at the same time no tribe was attacked again.
"Head of the flag, I suspect that these cavalry have returned!" Gu Duo said.
"Impossible. The cavalry we sent was very timely. Even if one escapes, it is impossible for all of them to escape, because one cavalry almost penetrated into the vicinity of the copper tent." Chagatai said.
Everyone fell silent, and none of them could explain the problem.
Suddenly a banner leader said: "A businessman from the Great Yu country once said that this king of Qi is capable of magic, can it be..."
"Fart!" Chagatai was furious, "Hercraft? Would you let me use this reason to explain to Beishantaiji?"
Walking back and forth anxiously, Chagatai said: "Beshantaiji is already angry, and we immediately go to Cangzhou to destroy the new city wall in Cangzhou. We can no longer spend 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 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 sight, they did not want to be the next one.
"Do you want to try if my machete is sharp enough?" Chagatai narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Seeing Chagatai's anger, the flag commanders had to go back and prepare their troops.
...
Cangzhou City.
After selecting the mares, ~EbookFREE.me~, the remaining 8,000 stallions were charged into the army. Within a month, Niu Ben and Lu Fei expanded Guanning's cavalry again.
The victory in the attack on the grassland encouraged two thousand Youzhou children to join Guanning Iron Cavalry.
Niu Ben and Lu Fei trained these recruits during their leisure time.
"Your Highness, these soldiers are okay."
In Cangzhou Daying, the recruits are riding war horses back and forth, practicing chopping at the scarecrow on the ground.
When Xiao Ming walked into Daying, Lu Fei said triumphantly.
"I have a shelf, but I'm not skilled yet."
Xiao Ming looked at the new recruits who were still a little rusty on horseback. These cavalrymen practiced slashing at close range, and they were troublesome when faced with riding and shooting.
But if these cavalry are turned into lancers, it is estimated that they will be able to fight against these barbarians.
