Chapter 251 Sweep!

Yinma River, a place where hundreds of tribes gather on the grassland, with the fuse of the fall of the Devil Fort, the regime undergoes subtle changes.

The devil castle was just here on the side of King Yan, and his morale was in full swing.

He did not rest for too long. On the second day, the King of Yan ordered the main force to continue to advance from the front towards the grassland king's court and Yinmahe.

At the same time, the King of Yan also divided nearly 20,000 cavalry into twenty strands, fifty miles apart from each other, and was like a net spreading from the flanks of the army to the depths of the grassland.

According to Gu Qingfeng's arrangement, Lu Changsheng and others and Dongfang Xuan naturally followed the prince Liu Xuan. Because they made great contributions to breaking the blood cloud last time, their cavalry was the largest and the most elite.

...

It's night.

The night wind blew over the grassland, and the stars in the sky lit up again, shining on Lu Changsheng and others, light and dark.

"There is another camp of grasslanders ahead!"

The scout rode a war horse wrapped in white cloth back on horse hooves and whispered a message.

Liu Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

He looked a few hundred meters away from the side and saw a small river ahead of him. In front of a camp composed of more than a hundred young men holding long bows. He didn't see them being very careful. He just ate and drank around the fire, and took time to look around.

"It's amazing!"

"Send hundreds of cavalry to charge, destroy the camp, seize all the sheep, cattle, food and grass, take away what can be taken away, and cook on the spot if they cannot be taken away, and burn them all after eating."

Liu Xuan waved his long sword and a thick layer of evil spirit flashed out on his face.

He issued the order, and then he saw hundreds of cavalry behind him rushing out and rushing into the tents of these herdsmen!

"Southern Barbarian..."

Ye Lan rode behind the horse. Seeing this scene, she was furious and her whole body was trembling slightly.

Although she lived in the Jin Dynasty since she was a child, her roots were still in the grasslands. It was nothing in the Devil Fort, but there were many ordinary grassland civilians in this camp.

But now she is in the enemy camp and her strength is far inferior to Lu Changsheng. What can she do?

"Did you ever think of the innocent people of Jin who died in the Devil's Castle?"

Lu Changsheng was beside him and spoke coldly, and Ye Lan was silent.

Even if it is not this world, looking at the past thousands of years, China has been like this.

The nomads in the north are going to rush into the south to plunder, and once the army in the south appears on the grassland, it will be even more bloody, burning all, killing them all, and robbing them all, leaving no little of what can be used for utilization.

The only difference is that the army with poor laws must kill desperately, while the army with strict military orders is just to kill the people who resist, take away everything, or plunder some slaves to go back to work. As for the remaining ordinary grassland people, it is just to drive them away and fend for themselves.

This is the fate between the conflict between the two ethnic groups. As for the ordinary soldiers below who are trapped in the killing, there is no right or wrong.

The small camp instantly turned into powder. The young men who aimed at the King of Yan with bows and arrows roared and fought fiercely, but were slowly cut into pieces by the elite 100-man teams with sabers.

Fortunately, the cavalry under Liu Xuan's rule was well-trained and did not kill a lot. As long as those ordinary grassland people escaped, they did not deliberately shoot and kill them.

"Your Highness, we advanced more than a hundred miles along the way, and we were considered to have penetrated into the grassland. We have destroyed seven or eight camps of all sizes. I don't know why, the barbarians were so slow this time that they seemed to have had a stupid illness. So far, there are not many guerrilla troops coming out to harass us."

A young general wearing black armor came over. Looking at his subordinates' quick movements, he smiled and asked Liu Xuan for credit.

"If it's all as easy as this, my Jin Dynasty army can flatten the grassland this time!"

Dongfang Xuan sighed aside.

Only Lu Changsheng was a little confused and asked, "We broke the whole into pieces and went deep into the grassland so far. Although the cavalry had strong power, I heard that the rangers of the grassland people were faster than our cavalry. Once they attacked them, our army would probably suffer heavy losses..."

Dividing troops is a taboo in military strategists. Even Lu Changsheng, who didn't know much about military affairs, understood this truth, so he did not agree with the arrangement of King Yan from the beginning, but what he did not expect was that the tribes on the grassland had not taken action yet.

You know, with their cavalry team of size, there are still nine teams. There will be dozens of grassland tribes that have been destroyed this day!

I saw Liu Xuan holding the marching map in his hand and said with a smile: "If it were that simple, that would be great."

"These grassland barbarians are the ones who cannot suffer the most. Since they split into hundreds of tribes hundreds of years ago, the population has become more dispersed. To destroy one of their camps, that is, to cut off a piece of meat in their hearts."

"But as Brother Lu said."

"We cannot get adequate supplies on the grassland. Those barbarians can eat meat all year round, while our soldiers must also eat rice and white flour, otherwise the stomach and intestines will be depressed."

"What's even more annoying is that once we go deep into the grassland, it is difficult for us to find their traces, and their tribes may gather together to harass us at any time. Especially warriors like Hu Lier are specially selected warriors of tribes, gathering together to deal with our army. Their horses are good, their archery skills are high, and using guerrilla methods can harass us a lot of headaches."

Speaking of this, Liu Xuan's face looked a little ugly. It was obvious that he had suffered a great loss. He paused and continued to smile: "So although it is dangerous to divide the troops, if the army is just advancing all the way, it is very likely that not only will there be no gains, but it will also be gradually eroded and suffered heavy losses. It's just that they did not come to snipe us this time. This is indeed very abnormal. I don't know what conspiracy they are brewing."

While talking.

The camps there had been cleared out. Because it was getting late, Liu Xuan ordered them to camp on the spot. Hundreds of soldiers were slaughtering sheep by the river and opening them. Another group of soldiers were dismantling the tents in a mess and setting up a bonfire. Some soldiers with quick hands and feet and vicious eyes found a large bucket of horse milk wine from the tent and carried it out amid countless cheers.

Lu Changsheng touched his chin, took Zhu Yingjie and others to lay down the tent, and found Liu Xuan sitting on the ground.

Zhu Yingjie leaned his back on an old sheep and smiled and said, "Does the people of this tribe live a good life? They have meat, food, and wine, which is more nourishing than many of our people."

"Haha! You've come too early."

"If you eat these things for a month, you will vomit."

Liu Xuan grabbed a dry bag casually and ate in a big mouthful of meat.

In the army, he is indeed a good prince. He can lead the way with his soldiers and share the joys and sorrows with his soldiers, except... his military strength is indeed almost the same.

Lu Changsheng also relaxed.

I just ate quietly and swept my eyes to the soldiers who were busy in the fire. Not only did I imagine that although my life is dangerous now, it is indeed much more exciting than on the earth...

After a midnight, everyone returned to the camp one after another.

The bonfire below was burning quietly, leaving only a dozen patrol and watchmen, wandering around, as if the silence between heaven and earth had returned to tranquility.

Just in one of the tents, an ordinary soldier who suddenly got up at night suddenly...
