After each killing, basically everything they could carry was taken away, even the tents were not spared, let alone clothes and the like, which were stripped dry and tight.
According to Yang Gan, it is not easy in the army. Everyone has no meat to eat, so it is okay to bring some things to sell and improve the food.
Sometimes he would ask Fujiko about the habits and characteristics of each ethnic group on the grassland. If conditions allowed, he could also leave some "clues" to disrupt the situation on the grassland. The most comfortable way is to fish in troubled waters.
I don’t know how long it took, but Yang Qian was either killing people or on the way to kill people every day. Such a life was simply not what a human being should live.
Not to mention living in the open air, I couldn't even eat the rice and corn I liked. I had no choice but to eat mutton and horse meat every day.
Sometimes Yang Qian wonders whether his hair will fall out prematurely no matter how much he eats due to lack of vitamins.
But it's almost time. After defeating the tribe in front of you, you can return to the court. This time you have been out long enough.
What is gratifying is that except for the injured soldiers brought out this time, almost all the other recruits have become veterans of many battles.
Not every raid was smooth sailing, and there were several times when the mastiffs discovered and exposed them early.
The cavalry also faced off several times, and each time Yang Gan took the lead and used powerful force to penetrate the opponent's cavalry like a hot knife, tearing open the gap and disrupting the formation.
"General Yang, something feels wrong."
Several people secretly came to the camp and took a look. Not every tribe had depressions near them.
You can avoid being discovered. Most of the camps are surrounded by endless grasslands. If the cavalry appears, you will notice it from several miles away, unless your eyes are lame.
Yang Gan touched his chin, a little unsure, "Tell me, what's wrong?"
Ran Jing frowned and shook his head, "I can't tell you, it just doesn't feel right. I always feel like I'm waiting for something to happen."
There is great terror between life and death, and there is great luck after surviving between life and death. Yang Qian doesn't know how many people he has killed. The more people he kills, the more accurate he feels.
"Why don't they have mastiffs? Every tribe has them, no matter how small they are." Krisna muttered strangely.
An idea flashed in Yang Gan's mind, and Ran Jing seemed to have thought of something, and said in unison, "Is there an ambush?"
Yang Qian suddenly realized, no wonder he always felt that this camp was strange. Every time he robbed the camp, he observed it beforehand and found that his people would not be damaged as long as they could.
Now I finally understand why I see something wrong with each other. Although they are far apart, every Huns in the camp behaves very deliberately.
The mastiffs were gone, the slaves weren't seen, and there weren't even children playing around outside.
"Let's go back!!"
Several people slowly crawled back from the grass, out of sight of each other, and returned to the army more than ten miles away. Before they could take a breath, two scouts came quickly and bowed and said, "Report~~~ They are twenty miles behind me." There are Hun cavalry.”
Yang Gan was startled. There was a camp in front of him and there were pursuers behind him. Wasn't he making dumplings for himself?
"how much."
"About 5,000."
"Hiss~~~!"
The higher-ups present all gasped. Two thousand versus five thousand. I don't know how many there are in the camp. These five thousand cavalry alone are enough to drink a pot.
"General Yang, it's still too late to run away now," Ran Jing suggested.
"Where to retreat now, the way back is cut off. If we take a detour, we will easily encounter other tribes."
This route was carefully designed by Yang Qian. He would leave immediately after fighting. There would be no other Huns in the middle to cause trouble for him. However, being stuck in such a blockade was indeed a miscalculation on his part. He only counted victory, not defeat.
"To the north is the depths of the grassland, to the west are the tribes ahead, and to the south are five thousand Huns cavalry...Have you looked to the east?"
Yang Gan recounted the routes one by one. Don't think that the grassland is very big. There are two thousand cavalry. The opponent is not blind. You can find it by smell. The distance is too close.
"You can't go to the east either. Before you came, a scout came over and said that it had been raining for a few days and that there were swamps over there. His horse almost got stuck in it."
Yang Gan was stunned and wondered, "There are swamps on the grassland? This is the first time I've heard of it." Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.
"Notify everyone, set off towards the east at full speed, hurry~~~~"
Krisna was anxious, "Why go there when there's a swamp over there?"
Yang Gan mounted his horse and said angrily, "On the grassland, we can't compete with each other in terms of speed. We have no preparations and no bunkers. They are not even as numerous as the Xiongnu, and they still have a hammer."
"Retreat to the swamp and see if we can fight. If not, we can advance, attack, retreat or defend. As long as we can restrain the speed of the cavalry, we will win half the battle."
Two thousand men and horses began to run rapidly, and half an hour later, led by scouts, they arrived at a swamp.
To be honest, if he had not led the army and marched at a rapid speed with 2,000 people, it would not be impossible for the entire army to be annihilated.
The concealment is really good. It looks green all over. If you really break in, your head will be all green.
Under the leadership of the scouts, the entire army marched around for a long time before reaching the opposite side. This swamp was at least several kilometers wide and was quite large.
After they were stationed, they pointed out twenty scouts and warned, "I want the latest military information. Check all around for me. Two people in a team. If discovered by the Huns, they will be led to the swamp. Do you understand?"
"No~~~!"
Seeing the twenty scouts scattering in all directions, Yang Qian's anxious heart slowly calmed down. He closed his eyes tightly and stretched out. It was too dangerous, but he felt like he was dancing on the tip of a knife.
"Yang Gan, why are you shaking your legs?" Krisna kicked him and laughed.
"Well, I saw it too. You're too cowardly." Bellica agreed.
Neither of the two women could see Yang Gan's expression. On weekdays, whenever he was marching, he basically wore a ferocious visor. I don't know why, but he seemed to have a fetish for armor.
Yang Qian pretended to be calm and said, "You guys are not afraid at all. What's wrong with me? On the grassland, cavalry versus cavalry, five thousand versus two thousand, it's normal to be afraid. If I were fifty thousand and they were five thousand, I would be afraid." A hairy one."
"You have to be braver. You look more and more like a girl, but your courage also looks more and more like a girl. Can you be a man?"
Yang Qian twitched the corner of his mouth and said disdainfully, "I think you are very men, okay? Take a rest quickly. If they don't take the bait, we will be the ones who die."
Krisna pulled Ran Jing and said, "Do you think the army should confront the army head-on?"
Ran Jing glanced at Yang Qian and whispered, "We are fighting to see who wins. As for the process, it doesn't really matter."
"Pah~~!" Yang Qian patted Ran Jing's shoulder heavily and agreed, "Did you see it? Soldiers are crafty.
The way to use troops is to be ever-changing and unexpected, and to achieve the greatest victory at the least cost. As for the process, who cares? After all, when the results come out, is the process still important? "
"I think there should be strong warriors, a duel, and then the army charges."
"Well, there used to be a powerful warrior in our hometown. He killed three enemy heroes by himself. At that time, everyone, including the enemy, went crazy and retreated without even fighting."
Yang Gan hugged Ran Jing and hid aside, "I'm telling you, don't get too close to these two violent maniacs in the future. If you get too close, your brain will be damaged."
"The fighting general in front of the battle is already behind the times. How about letting me take the lead in the charge, fighting general? If anyone really dares, I will have him shot into a hedgehog."
"Okay, everyone, take a rest, eat and drink enough, check whether the bows and crossbows are in good condition, and the arrows are ready. The next step is a tough battle."
"No~~~!" All the soldiers said in unison.
During this period of time, Yang Qian had not inspected the soldiers for a long time. During the inspection, he found that except for the three hundred black armor cavalry, the rest were not members of the Polu Army. Almost all of them were injured and returned to Yuntong Barracks. .
"You are not from our Polu army, are you?" Yang Gan asked a soldier wearing leather armor.
The soldier immediately jumped up and said respectfully, "We are the border troops under General Tian Zong."
Yang Gan patted the leather armor on his body, "You still use leather armor now? Don't you use iron armor?"
"Back to the general, only captains and above can wear bronze armor. Ordinary soldiers can only wear leather armor. As for iron armor, you must have meritorious service to wear it."
"How about defense, but the material of your leather armor is good."
Yang Gan touched the leather armor on his body. It was soft but tough. He had not been in this world for a long time.
I have spent most of my time in the military, and now I have mastered it to the point where I can roughly tell the defensive performance of leather armor just by touching it.
The soldier nodded, "This is not an ordinary leather armor, it is a rhinoceros armor. Ordinary swords cannot damage it. The Huns are short of iron, so most of their arrows are made of bronze or even animal bones."
"Although the penetrating power is extremely strong, if the distance is longer, it will not be able to penetrate our rhinoceros armors."
"Wuge Rhinoceros?" Yang Qian looked depressed. He had indeed seen the existence of rhinoceros when searching for information before, but he was not sure what the rhinoceros referred to.
"Is it made of cowhide?"
"Of course not. Rhino armor is made of Si skin, but people in Shang country like to call it rhinoceros."
Yang Qian opened the mask directly, his face full of confusion, "What does the Si (si) you mentioned look like? Have you seen it?"
Seeing the general's interest, the soldiers became excited.
"Of course I've seen one. It's a big one. It's over a foot regardless of size. It's eight feet tall. It has horns on its head. It has a bad temper and is very fierce."
"Generally, if they encounter a large group, they will send out troops to hunt them. The skin can be made into rhinoceros armor, the meat can be eaten, and the bones can also be made into weapons."
Yang Gan's eyes flashed, his brain was a little down, and he couldn't react. Seeing that the general didn't speak, but had a constipated expression on his face, the soldier became even more excited.
"I have seen hunting Si (si) with my own eyes, but there are several varieties of them. Some have only one horn, and some have two horns. I can't tell them apart from the others."
"But I heard that there is another kind of Lingsi (si), which is very big, but has a very good temper. It never attacks people actively. Generally, if there are no accidents, we hunt and kill Lingsi (si). General, haven't you seen it? ?”
The soldier's eyes gradually turned suspicious. This kind of thing can be seen everywhere, but the general has never seen it. Isn't this out of date?
