Chapter two hundred and fifty-eight
The horse thief leader captured by Moyue Lake is not willing to surrender yet, so he has surrendered without any extra soul-devouring pill for control. He cannot use it with confidence in a short period of time, so he sealed the Xuanmai Lingku to imprison him first.
Compared with the horse thief leader with strong combat power, forcibly engraving ordinary horse thieves into the army, there are not so many concerns. Ordinary people have a herd mentality. After a certain period of training, ordinary horse thieves surrenders are more likely to merge into them. In a chaotic battlefield, if they do not have the ability to escape, they can only participate in the melee. These horse thieves captives actually have no choice.
Of course, it is difficult to control it, and from time to time, three or five people will run away and escape into the depths of the desert. At this time, law enforcement teams need to be organized to strictly enforce military laws and military disciplines.
However, the group of generals and soldiers who were born in horse thieves under Fan Dachun didn't know what military discipline was at this time, and many things still took a lot of time to sort them out slowly.
Afterwards, the soldiers sent to Heishan, Heixiao Cliff, and Jinxiangling to collect food, supplies and slaves returned to Moyue Lake one after another.
Chen Hai decided to build Jingjue City in Moyue Lake and recruit nearby tribal forces so that he could have a place in the chaos in the future. Those tens of thousands of slaves who were weak and courageous to resist the horse thieves would no longer be burdened, but instead build and develop the precious human resources of Jingjue City.
The soldiers who returned from Heishan Village brought more exciting news.
The tribes near Heishan Village have been under the cruel oppression of the Heishan Corps for many years, but have been exploited but have been unable to resist. At this time, they were greatly encouraged to see the miraculous rise of Yequshan soldiers and horses.
When Yequshan soldiers and horses attacked Heishan Village, some tribes could not hold back and wanted to rise up, but were still frightened by the cruelty and lustfulness of the Heishan gangs. They had great concerns. When they saw Yequshan soldiers and horses conquered Heishan Cliff and Jinxiang Mountain without any effort, almost wiped out four or five thousand elite horse thieves in Moyue Lake, six tribes decided not to endure the retreat and decided to move their clans to enchant Moyue Lake and surrender to the protection of the envoys.
These six tribes are not large in size, and the total number of men, women, old and young is only more than 40,000 people.
These tribes have a deep connection with the earliest group of horse and infantry generals selected from the surrendered soldiers in Heishan Village. It can be said that a considerable number of the earliest group of horse and infantry generals were forced to be sent to Heishan Village to be thieves.
The six tribes jointly recommended the leader Guo Hong, to the Moyue Lake, rushed to contact the clan's relocation, and Chen Hai was waiting for this moment.
Guo Hong was sentenced to over 40 years old, tall and dark skin, with a mid-stage cultivation in the Piling Realm, and was also good at using war halberds. He was originally the concubine son of the Guo family in Heishan City. Kong Peng invaded Heishan City. Guo Hong was sentenced to surrender with the Guo family and moved out of Heishan City with his clans, and went to a nearby small oasis to chase water and plants.
Although the Guo clan members endured humiliation and surrendered, Kong Peng still had some shame and did not openly massacre the Guo clan members, but did not give up the persecution of the Guo clan members. In the past few years, the few martial artists in the Spirit-Biography Realm of the Guo clan have been killed by Kong Peng for various reasons, and Guo Hong was judged to be the only one who has achieved success.
This is true. Guo Hongzong, who is tolerant by nature, also knew that he had to make a decision.
This matter should not be too late.
There is no shortage of food and grass in Moyue Lake. After all, six or seven thief villages were trying hard to transport food and grass to Moyue Lake, but in the end they all fell into Chen Hai and the others.
From Heishan, Heixiao Cliff and Jinxiangling villages, two to three million kilograms of grain can be transported back, and there are also a large number of livestock, which can support 60,000 to 70,000 people until next year or later. Now, the most important thing for these six tribes is to transfer their tribe members first.
In order to avoid the possibility of division of troops to attack after the horse thieves in Guhuoshan received the news, Chen Hai asked Fan Dachun to lead a cavalry camp to patrol the camp in order to achieve the fastest speed, and moved the men, women, and young and old tribes to Moyue Lake for resettlement.
The soldiers and horses composed of Yequshan horse bandits, captives and slaves can only win battles, and they will be arrogant when they encounter victory, but when they encounter setbacks, their morale will easily be disintegrated or even collapse.
The six newly encamped tribes are all half-cultivated and half-grazed in the depths of the vast desert, and are martial. They can choose three or four thousand brave and brave to join the cavalry camp and the cavalry army, which will greatly improve the fatal shortcomings of the current army's lack of resilience.
Moving the six tribes into Moyue Lake can also be a group of generals selected by the six tribes. These generals will be more loyal to their families and careers.
The strength of the six tribes is still too weak, and there are only nine martial arts practitioners with cultivation above the Spirit Pi Realm. No wonder they will be afraid to resist by the cruel and tyrannical power of the Heishan Corps.
The Heishan Corps only had Heishan Martial Master Kong Peng, who could destroy any of their tribes at will. They would inevitably need a stronger force to rise before they dared to unite to resist the Heishan Corps.
However, in the vast desert, there are few human races and monsters. Many tribes faced with harsh living environments, and they all have the tradition of martial arts. Although the number of martial arts practitioners above the Piling Realm is extremely rare, compared with densely populated farming areas such as Yanzhou, this proportion can be considered very high. This is mainly due to the lack of martial arts inheritance. However, there are as many as three or four hundred tribes who have a foundation in practicing in Tongxuan Realm, and will be able to provide a group of high-quality basic military officers for the cavalry camp and the cavalry army, which are all urgently needed by Chen Hai at this time.
With the addition of six tribes, the cavalry camp quickly expanded to 2,000 people, and the cavalry army further expanded to 9,000 people. More importantly, with the children of the six major tribes and the released slaves, the number of people in the Demon Moon Lake increased to 50,000 or 60,000 at once. This is already a very strong force in the depths of the sparsely populated desert.
With such a foundation, Chen Hai officially built Jingjue City in Moyue Lake under the name of the envoy of the Great Yan Kingdom, set up the Jingjue City Lord's Mansion and the Jingjue Army General Administration Office, appointed Deng Tong'er as the Jingjue City Lord, the left commander of the Jingjue Army General Administration Office, Fan Dachun as the deputy commander of the Jingjue City, the right commander of the Jingjue Army, and Guo Hong, and Han Wen should be the left and right commander of the Jingjue Army General Administration Office, first to tree the big flag of the Jingjue Army in Moyue Lake.
At this time, even if there were people who knew the military, they knew that relying on the advantage of relatively elite cavalry and relying on the formation of a strong village to form a formation was an effective way to fight against the stone-cattered crossbow and spear formation. Chen Hai was also sure to win this battle, so he no longer hesitated.
Chen Hai ordered Deng Tong'er to lead two thousand horse infantry troops to stay in Moyue Lake, lead the baggage camp, the children of the six tribes and a large number of released slaves to the people to build a new Jingjue City, and continue to move the remaining supplies of the six tribes to the Moyue Jing, and continue to recruit nearby tribes to fight against the horse thieves who seemed less terrifying at this time.
Chen Hai, Ning Chan'er, Fan Dachun, Guo Hong, Han Wendang and other generals led 7,000 horse and infantry troops and 2,000 cavalry camps to lead Guhuo Mountain 700 miles away.
There are many painful lessons from Heishan Village, Heixiao Cliff, Jinxiang Ridge and Moyue Lake. Although Guhuo Mountain has gathered nearly 5,000 elite horse thieves, mainly from the left-behind soldiers from the eight thief villages, they have no courage to stay and fight with the Jingjue Army.
Guhuo Mountain is very close to Moyue Lake. Guhuo Mountain has been staring at the movements on Moyue Lake. Seeing the troops sent by Moyue Lake, four or five thousand horse thieves abandoned the village and fled.
The bandits were frightened and had no will to fight. This was a good opportunity for Chen Hai and others to pursue the death and defeat.
Moreover, in the name of the Heishan Army, there may be the main force of 20,000 horse thieves with the soldiers and horses of the Tibetan and Qiang Kingdom. It is six or seven thousand miles away. Of course, Chen Hai would not easily let go of the Guhuoshan horse thieves who had a weak will to fight.
Fan Dachun and Ning Chan'er led two thousand elite cavalry to pursue first, but they were not in a hurry to contact each other. Chen Hai asked them to keep an eye on the Guhuo Mountain horse bandits who fled east and delayed it, making it difficult for them to sleep and eat, and they could not get effective rest in the depths of the vast desert, consuming their physical strength and energy.
Chen Hai, Guo Hong, Han Wendang and other generals led 7,000 horse infantry to be placed far behind, avoiding unnecessary detours as much as possible, reducing the march distance, and saving the physical strength of people and war horses.
Chen Hai learned this tactic from the wolves and wolves. Horse thieves are also used to using this tactic to harass the business travelers. When they drag the business travelers and guards to the most exhausted moment, they will give a fatal blow.
Guhuo Mountain is in the northwest of Moyue Lake, with nearly 5,000 horse thieves who walked around the front of Moyue Lake and fled southeast, intending to join the Heishan army leader in Yequ Mountain and Songyang Lake, which actually had to walk seven or eight hundred miles more than the Jingjue army.
Gucai Shan horse thieves, and at the same time, they wanted to bring the families of thousands of horse thieves and two or three thousand strong slaves with them. They were reluctant to discard or burn a large amount of wealth. They used thousands of horses to transport them on the road. The speed of the march in the depths of the vast desert was almost impossible. The next day, on the south side of Moyue Hunan, they were bitten by Fan Dachun and Ning Chan'er, leading two thousand elite riders.
The Guhuoshan horse bandits wanted to rely on their strong troops and wanted to deal with the two thousand elite cavalry led by Fan Dachun to first deal with the pursuit.
Fan Dachun led his troops to avoid them, and with the wide view of the iron-scaled spirit eagle and three to four hundred miles, he was in circles with the Guhuoshan horse bandits in the depths of the vast desert. When the horse bandits wanted to move forward quickly, the formation would inevitably be loose, and Fan Dachun led his troops to force them up and threatened their flanks; while the horse bandits wrapped their baggage and family in the center, and formed a charge formation with the two wings, Fan Dachun led his troops to avoid them far away, patrolling forty or fifty miles or even hundreds of miles away.
At this time, Chen Hai led the 7,000-horse army commander horses to march slowly three or four hundred miles away.
This is also the advantage of having the help of the spirit eagle.
The spirit eagle flew thousands of feet high with its powerful demon body, not afraid of the bitter wind that was like a knife. There were several powerful people in the enemy's enemy, but they were not able to kill the spirit eagle above the sky. They could not figure out where the main force of the spirit was, but Chen Hai could rely on the spirit eagle to maintain contact between the vanguard cavalry and the main force of the horse and infantry at any time, and stare at the bandits of Guhuoshan.
The main force of the Cavalry Army not only will not lose its direction in the depths of the vast desert, but the actual journey of the journey must be much shorter with the vanguard cavalry camp and the Guhuoshan bandits, which ensures that the physical strength of the Cavalry Army will not be overdrawn.
Of course, the medium and low-level spiritual medicines such as Shihoe Milk seized in Moyue Lake are 20,000 to 30,000 kilograms, and they also play a crucial role.
On the sixth day, the Guhuoshan horse bandits had just walked 1,700 to 800 miles and were exhausted. They had to retreat nearby to Heishan City, which was left with only the empty village, and stood guard and waited for help. At this time, the two thousand elite cavalry led by Fan Dachun were exhausted, and five or six thousand war horses were exhausted. However, the main force of the 7,000 infantry army led by Chen Hai still had sufficient combat power to surround Heishan Village.
