Chapter 812: Grassland Retreat
Don't worry about killing the Central Plains people by mistake, because the grassland people's armor coverage rate is not as good as that of the Central Plains cavalry, and their clothes are very different.
Although there are many differences in the shape and structure of the armor of Chu State and Zhou State, they are of the same origin after all, which is enough for both sides to distinguish friend from enemy.
At this moment, although Chu State and Zhou State belong to different countries, they belong to the same camp.
There is only one goal, and that is to wipe out all the prairie cavalry in front of them.
The desperate Zhou cavalry was ready to die, but when they saw tens of thousands of cavalry entering the battlefield to fight against the grassland army with them, the exhausted Chu cavalry suddenly As if infinite power poured in, he brandished his spear and horse lance and immediately stabbed the cavalrymen who came up to the ground.
The prairie cavalry was even more panicked. Originally, as long as they persisted for another day or half a day, all Zhou's cavalry could be killed by them, and then they could turn their guns and attack Chu directly.
But now Chu State suddenly came out from behind and caught them off guard. How could they bear it?
These days, it can be said that the grassland cavalry and Zhou Guo have not been fighting for a moment, and their energy has been greatly consumed. Of course, the Zhou Guo cavalry has more energy than they consume.
However, Chu State has not encountered war these days, especially in the past few days, while tracking the traces of the grassland while wandering over on the horse, the energy and morale are at their peak.
One can imagine the result of such an army attacking the grassland army that has shown fatigue after continuous operations without rest.
Although Xiao Ye is the main general this time, but he is young and energetic, brave and aggressive, it is impossible for him to stay in the rear and command the army honestly, he is the fastest on the battlefield, The second is Xiao Ruxue behind Xiao Ye.
However, there are a large number of shadow guards around these two people, even if they go to battle and kill the enemy in person, they will basically be fine.
As for Xu Qing, he was more self-aware, honestly staying on the hill to watch the battle under the protection of a hundred shadow guards, and the flags of Chu were flying around.
The third and fourth princes obediently stayed by Xu Qing's side, but Xu Qing was far away from them.
After all, the prairie people are of the same origin as the two of them. Although it is nice to say that it is a good idea to abandon the dark and turn to the light, it will not be fun if blood suddenly surges up.
Xu Qing, who has practiced with Su Qian for a long time, is still very good, but he already has the basic Martial Dao perception, for example, he absolutely knows that he can't beat the third and fourth princes.
As far as Xu Qing's current skill is concerned, it is useless except for bullying the cute Xuan'er at home.
This made Xu Qing a little sad, why is he still so good after practicing with his wife for so long?
...
The outcome of this war ended with the retreat of the grassland.
The number of cavalry in Chu State is equal to that of the grassland. Although the morale is high and energetic, the army of Chu State not only has Chu State cavalry but also recruits herdsmen.
Although these herdsmen said that they grazed and killed the enemy in wartime, compared with the real standing army that often drilled, there was still a big gap in combat effectiveness.
However, this war was still a big victory for the Central Plains, killing more than half of the enemies and taking a vote of prisoners.
After the war ended, Su Zhong stared at the captives of Chu State with greedy eyes.
The state of Chu made a great deal of the captives, but the state of Zhou could only get a bunch of cripples. Although they exchanged a lot of things with the grassland, the supplies are temporary, but the coolie is long-term.
You don't even need to pay wages, and you can work for a day as long as you provide barely enough food every day. Who doesn't want such a labor force?
But it is obvious that the prisoners of this war have nothing to do with Zhou Guo. These prairie people will become the free labor of Chu State. Not only has nothing to do with them, but Zhou Guo also owes Chu State a big favor. .
After the war ended, Xiao Ye felt that Su Zhong looked at him—these captives were not looking right, so Xiao Ye hurriedly ordered people to detain the prisoners who were still in good condition. As for those who were seriously injured, Xiao Ye I chose ruthless last knife.
What they want for captives is labor. They are not in the mood to do good deeds. Naturally, these captives who suffered heavy casualties will be killed.
After the captives were brought down, Su Zhong and a group of people from the state of Zhou dismounted from their horses. Su Zhong went to Xiao Ye's cupped fist and said, "Thank you for your country's rescue, regardless of past suspicions! If your country is useful in the future, Su Zhong will be useful." , Su Zhong will definitely die!"
Xiao Ye said: "Although our two countries have conflicts, we have the same origin, so there is no need to be so alien. But if you want to thank someone, you should really thank someone."
As he said that, Xiao Ye pulled Xu Qing who had just walked over the battlefield, and continued to speak; "A few days ago, our army was also confused by the trick of the fake camp in the grassland, and confronted it, and after seeing it through I wanted to attack the fake camp on the grassland, but Brother Xu told me that the grassland is surrounded by wind, so we don’t have to pull out a city or a village to move forward, and it was Brother Xu who observed the traces of the battle before we arrived here.”
Su Zhong looked at Xu Qing and cupped fist again; "Thank you for saving my army, if you are useful to me in the future, Su Zhong will not hesitate!"
Xu Qing said with a smile, "Marshal Su is too polite. As the saying goes, brothers fight against each other and defend against their insults from outside. We should fight against aliens together. I didn't do much in this battle. I'm really ashamed."
After getting to know each other for a while, talking about the past, and thanking each other, they continued to clean the battlefield.
Regardless of enemy or friend, corpses must be buried. Today's Central Plains is not the same as in the past. Today's Central Plains is no longer about chasing away people who live here and then retreating. Today's Central Plains wants to completely incorporate this place into the territory of the Central Plains. , so naturally it is impossible to allow any hidden dangers of plague on the own site.
After burying the corpse, Zhou State and Chu State camped in different places. Don't chase after poor bandits. After fighting for two hours, it is already very hard, and it is time to take a good rest.
The camp of Chu State was ten miles away from the camp of Zhou State. Although the two countries have now ushered in a short honeymoon period, they must guard against others, and it is even more impossible for each other's camps to be close together.
After setting up the camp, Xiao Ye went to write the battle report and send a letter.
Xu Qing was about to arrange patrols and passwords for tonight, but on the way back to the tent, he saw Xiao Ruxue who had just wiped off the blood on his body and was still pale.
Xu Qing walked over and touched Xiao Ruxue's forehead and asked, "You don't have a fever, are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao Ruxue couldn't bear it anymore, supported Xu Qing's shoulders, tilted her head, and vomited out all the food she ate today.
