Chapter 895 Revenge
(Thanks to book friends "Jincheng Xiao Zhenlang" for the 4 recommendation votes, "Soul Drunk in Xiangxi", and "My Trumpet A" for the 5 recommendation votes..)
After several explanations, Xie Yu got the nickname "No Eyebrow". However, with their sympathy, they specially prepared a linen black turban for Xie Yu as a replacement.
At this time, Yu Meng noticed that these New Dynasty soldiers were all wearing black armor. It was unclear whether it was the standard military uniform of the New Dynasty or unique to this army.
After Xie Yu introduced the Yan family to others, he quickly made several "friends" because of this relationship.
Because of this, Xie Yu captured the group of falcons that the soldiers were preparing to kill.
If this team of falcons is trained properly, they will become the eyes above the grassland, which is very useful.
As for domestication, Xie Yu has his own methods.
Sure enough, under the guidance of the moonlight of the gourd mark, the pair of falcons immediately gave up the idea of going on a hunger strike for their original owner, and they were so well-behaved.
But seeing the pair of falcons that Xie Yu had tamed so quickly, it felt strange, but after all, it was wartime. Major General Ling Buyi, who had a keen sense of the battlefield, immediately had new ideas and picked up the marching map to plan secretly.
As for the three horses that Xie Yu assigned to himself, they had to get used to them after washing them.
I quickly mixed it up and got the typical Zhongyuan recurve iron bow.
Or, Major General Ling Buyi and a group of 800 elite cavalry want to go deep behind enemy lines. Although this recurved iron bow is only a standard weapon in the army.
But we also carefully selected high-quality products and simply pulled and tested them. The previous owner had already seasoned them well, and the bow power was as good as a stone's throw.
Although there is still potential for seasoning, with Xie Yu's current body, this stone is actually a bit big.
Fortunately, Xie Yu has already studied the art of bow quite a bit, and can also adjust the bow. Put the bow power to nine buckets, which is just right for the current use. When your physical strength has recovered more, you can increase the bow power.
In fact, it is enough to maintain the bow power of one stone per bucket, and Xie Yu only needs to draw half the bow.
It's just that this is not hunting, but during war. According to Xie Yu's experience, during war, emotions are intense, and it is especially easy for emotions to get to the brain.
It is normal to draw the bow to full capacity explosively, but Xie Yu's current body does not allow Xie Yu to do this. What Xie Yu needs now is time. If he delays once, it will take longer to recover.
The bows are good, but in terms of arrows, the eight hundred elite cavalry have no logistical supplies. They disrupt the enemy's rear and promote the enemy's retreat. No matter how many arrows they carry, they are not enough.
So Xie Yu only got ten iron-headed, hardwood, white-feathered light arrows.
The other two pots of fifty arrows were all arrows made from bones, miscellaneous wood and even reed poles that had been seen in the tribe, and most of them were not arrows like this.
It could only be used as an intimidation, but since he had no other choice, Xie Yu could only "try his best" to correct it. At least ten or five steps would still be useful.
At the very least, if you use arrows, at least the blood will no longer reach your body.
In this way, Xie Yu worked hard until late at night, and fell asleep for less than an hour while looking at the sky.
He was woken up by the guards sent by the young general Ling Buyi, and then while the sky was dark, he asked Xie Yu to demonstrate to him the use of the pair of falcons.
Although he could only give a rough demonstration, Major General Ling Buyi was already very satisfied and the idea in his mind was roughly formed.
After rewarding him with some pickles he brought from the Central Plains, he asked Xie Yu to go down to prepare. After handling some more matters, the army set off.
But when the army set off again, Major General Ling Buyi looked uncertain and said, "Xie Yu, what do you think of a certain family slaughtering this tribe?"
Xie Yu had no expression on his face: "All the men were thrown away, and the women were left behind for other tribes to fight for."
Major General Ling Buyi stared at Xie Yu and said, "That's fine."
Xie Yu handed over his hand: "I hope the general will give me a chance!"
Major General Ling Buyi smiled and said: "That's right, I'll leave it to you."
Xie Yu: "How dare you disobey your orders."
After Xie Yu left, Major General Ling Buyi asked Liang Qiuqi, his trusted lieutenant, "What do you think of Xie Yu?"
Lieutenant General Liang Qiuqi did not hesitate: "This man is a bit interesting and a bit strange, but he has a good sword."
After a pause, Lieutenant General Liang Qiuqi said again: "This person can be a good sword in the hands of the Major General."
The young general Ling Buyi looked calm: "I only hope that he will become a good sword for my new dynasty and a good sword for His Majesty."
"But no matter what, although this person's origin is a mystery, he can be trusted in killing barbarians, and he is not considered a mass murderer."
It makes sense to say that Xie Yu is not a murderer.
Despite the order given by Major General Ling Buyi, Xie Yu did have thoughts of revenge.
But Xie Yu still followed the rules of the grassland and only killed men who passed the wheel.
Also because Xie Yu abided by this cruel rule, although there were constant curses in the tribe, in terms of actions, they were at most stubborn, and no one really resisted, leaving Xie Yu to kill him.
However, when it was the boy's turn to whip Xie Yu, Xie Yu retaliated and did not end his life sharply with a knife.
And he was whipped to death for five minutes with a whip. Thinking about it, he was quite "happy". It was rare for Xie Yu to be willing to kill him, so he should feel lucky.
When a large army travels, it is time to select elite soldiers to serve as outposts for exploring horses.
When Xie Yu, who was full of murderous intent, showed off his superb riding skills, quick-fire and precise archery skills, plus a pair of falcons that can communicate with the police.
Major General Ling Buyi hesitated slightly, as there is an old saying that if you want to suspect someone, you don't need to be suspicious, and given the current situation, he agreed.
Therefore, Xie Yu and Major General Ling Buyi sent a ten-man elite cavalry team to form an eleven-man outpost and set off.
The start went smoothly. Although the barren prairie had hills and undulating hills, the trees were sparse and low, and it could be regarded as endless.
Not much was discovered.
After releasing a falcon again, Xie Yu and other outpost sergeants were ready to stop and take a rest.
Realistically speaking, people can persevere, but horses cannot.
The maintenance cost of a war horse, especially a taller, stronger horse, is very high.
During this period, people usually eat two main meals, but if the horse is not nutritious enough, it must be fed with fodder at least four or five times a day, otherwise it will lose its status crazily or even die of illness.
Historically, when large armies were deployed in battles and emergencies and frequent battles occurred, feeding could not keep up.
When these war horses go to war, three out of ten horses can be returned unharmed, which is considered to be a treasure of horse power.
Major General Ling Buyi's journey has been relatively smooth.
Not only did the war horses they brought out not suffer much damage, but they also paid a lot of money, but mainly they encountered no resistance.
But this situation cannot last long.
For this cavalry that is roaming around to fight guerrillas, the Hu people are the leaders and will definitely fight back.
Not only that, although he controlled the tribe's powerful accountants in his name, he faced off against the army of the new dynasty.
But there was also a reserve force left behind, but the grassland was too big, and the large households were not prepared for it.
But now Major General Ling Buyi has picked off seven or eight subordinates in a row, and today he killed him again. No matter how slow he was, he realized that the new dynasty had sent a "rat army" that took advantage of the loopholes.
This kind of "rat army" that disturbs the morale of the army must be encircled and suppressed immediately, otherwise...
