Chapter 3530: On the Cusp of the Trend
Chapter 3529 On the Wind
Gan Feng is somewhat similar to Wei Yan. He is particularly clever on the battlefield, but a little confused after leaving the battlefield. However, Gan Feng mainly leads the cavalry, so he is particularly familiar with the tactics of the cavalry.
Especially the battles with the Hu people, Gan Feng is most familiar with them. He knows the habits of the Hu people very well. If we wait for the brigade to catch up before starting the war, it is undoubtedly the most reliable tactical plan, but there are two problems.
One is that the Han refugees who are far away and do not have time to enter the mountain pass will be captured, looted and killed by these Hu people. Although Gan Feng can lead the team to charge and avenge the murdered Han people, it is meaningless for those who died. Just like delayed justice is always the glory on the face of politicians and the glory in their mouths, for those people who have already suffered, their suffering has been caused forever and cannot be offset by a light piece of paper or a little money.
Another reason is that these Hu people have always been bullying the weak and fearing the strong. If they really saw Gan Feng bringing a large army, these Hu people would definitely scatter!
At that time, Gan Feng could say that he had won another "great victory", but how much direct damage could he actually cause to the Hu people?
Gan Feng and others were armored cavalry, while the Hu people were basically light cavalry wearing leather armor or even leather robes. Once they were caught in a chase, Gan Feng and others would have an inherent disadvantage. Chasing and killing may not have any effect, and not chasing and killing will not gain anything.
Therefore, Gan Feng decided not to wait and rush directly!
But it does not mean that Gan Feng is a brainless pig rushing to do it...
Gan Feng ordered his soldiers to quickly check out the war horses with a more serious decline in physical strength, and then organize the cavalry of these war horses to stay in place, let the war horses rest for a while, and build temporary tents in the sheltered place of the mountain pass, so that the subsequent cavalry troops can rest and adjust for a short time at the mountain pass before entering the battle.
At least remove the mud and snow on the horse's legs and feet, otherwise it would be like fighting against the Hu people wearing four big boots covered with yellow mud, which would definitely be a disadvantage!
Gan Feng gave the order, and there was no need to track the process in detail or control the rhythm. He just slid down the rock and snatched the leather bag on his horse's back, took out the food, opened half of it and stuffed it into his mouth, and used his other hand to send the other half to the horse's mouth.
The horse's moist and soft nose arched in Gan Feng's palm, and ate the cake mixed with oil residue, sugar and salt.
"Dude! Let's work harder later!" Gan Feng gnawed the cake and muttered, "After the fight, I'll treat you to wine and meat!"
The horse snorted loudly, and it was not known whether it understood or not.
On Gan Feng's side, the hussars had automatically dispersed under Gan Feng's order, and each of them took action separately according to their assigned tasks. Gan Feng only issued an order, and the specific execution was still done by ordinary hussars. There was no dispute or shirking. Whoever was assigned the task would find a way to execute it. Whoever finished the task at hand would help his comrades around him when he was free. Not to mention that they would cry out in exhaustion after doing a little work, or like a hen that lays eggs and wishes the whole world knew that it laid eggs.
The age and teeth of the war horses are there, and the older war horses are naturally arranged at the back. The warhorse cavalry did not jump up and down to say that they would go if they wanted, but began to call forward to the fleeing Han refugees to make way and be careful not to be hit by the warhorse charge...
A moment later, Gan Feng and the first wave of hussar cavalry were ready and began to line up.
Gan Feng patted the neck of the warhorse, feeling that the blood and flesh of the warhorse seemed to cater to his heartbeat.
He did not issue any pre-war mobilization slogans, but just gently urged the warhorse to move forward.
Then, the other cavalrymen followed and accelerated from a jog.
The hooves of the warhorses, from the initial chaos, finally became neat heavy drums, hitting the ground one by one.
The warhorse under Gan Feng's crotch neighed, as if it was also greeting his subordinates and his followers.
As a general-level warhorse, it would naturally be stronger than ordinary warhorses, which would make it easier for other warhorses to follow automatically.
Many times, warhorses also bully the weak and fear the strong, especially looking down on castrated horses.
Therefore, although castrated horses are docile and easier to manage, most of the warhorses in the Northern Territory are in a natural state and have not been castrated.
Although it will cause some problems during the estrus period of warhorses, compared with the subsequent development of the herd, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
The warhorse galloped, and the warm saliva flew with the wind.
The cavalry shouted, and the smoke that came out drew a straight line in the air.
Riding on the horse's back, Gan Feng felt the powerful trembling of every muscle of the warhorse under his crotch, and then his own blood seemed to gradually heat up, flowing to his limbs and reaching the tips of his hair!
Breathe!
The cold air entered the chest cavity, not only did it not cool down the gradually boiling blood, but it seemed to add a combustion accelerator, causing the strength of the whole body to begin to gather!
The rivers and mountains around him are the land of the Han family!
The surroundings are the soldiers of the Han family!
In Gan Feng's eyes, the large group of miscellaneous Hu in front of him was in a messy formation, with varying thicknesses.
The miscellaneous Hu finally discovered Gan Feng and his men, and their greedy faces became clearer and clearer.
Gan Feng pulled down his mask and roared in a muffled voice, rolling over the ground like thunder, "Kill the miscellaneous Hu!"
…
…
The Hu people's cavalry waited until Gan Feng and others started rushing out of the mountain pass, and they discovered the arrival of the cavalry army and quickly reported it to the leader Ding Ling who was behind.
The leader Ding Ling originally came here just to hunt, but he didn't expect to encounter the cavalry army.
That's right, hunting.
In these ignorant tribal structures that still regard slavery as honor, the lives of ordinary people will not be taken seriously, but will be regarded as cows and sheep, or even lower than cows and sheep, Killing and destroying, and taking this as glory, it is called "Spring Hunting".
In the spring, these fishing and hunting tribes needed to raise cattle and sheep and manpower, so they began to think about catching some Han people to act as coolies, and torture Han men to death and make Han women big. It is time for the Han people to harvest Zhuang Pi in autumn, and they can come and rob.
Every year, generation after generation, all these miscellaneous people are like this. The glory of their ancestors was based on the plunder and humiliation of the Chinese Han people, and they also covered up these sins into national integration. Just as the later generations of Midi also covered up his atrocities against the Indians into protected areas and private areas. Same.
When the leader of Ding Ling heard that there were Hussars and cavalrymen appeared, his expression tightened, but after asking carefully, he found that it was a small army and his face relaxed.
Not to mention the Cavalry Team, even if there were hundreds or thousands of people...
Well, it would be fine if there were thousands of people coming. If there were two or three hundred Hussars and cavalrymen who were retreating by themselves, then why would they be the leader? How could they command other miscellaneous people?
Stop saying anything, kill it!
The leader of Ding Ling drew out his battle knife and roared loudly, "Ding Ling's good man, kill all these Han troops! Snatch all their horses and all their weapons! We have a lot of people! They surrounded them and killed them! 』
Ding Ling shouted loudly and rushed towards Gan Feng and others.
Commander Ding Ling turned around and looked at the warrior Xunu beside him, shouting loudly: "The God is above! Where are the warriors of the Ahmad tribe? ! 』
Su Nu patted her chest, "I'm here! 』
The commander pointed at Gan Feng and shouted, "Did you see it?" Kill that Han general, you are not only a warrior of the Chanbai tribe, but also a warrior of all of us Dingling people! 』
"The God is above! 'Xu Nu roared, urging the war horse to rush towards Gan Feng.
The two sides hedged and the distance quickly narrowed.
Xu Nu waved his sword and rushed towards Gan Feng.
Gan Feng also saw the Ding Ling's warrior, and without saying a word, he also stared at Xu Nu and rushed forward.
The two of them rushed closer and closer, and in a blink of an eye, they rushed to one place!
The two men's weapons fought each other and made a loud bang!
Gan Feng shook on the horse's back.
Xunu just felt that he couldn't hold on to the center of gravity and fell to the other side. If Xunu had not lived on the horse's back since he was a child, and if he found something wrong, he would almost instinctively hook it with his feet, and he might have fallen off the horse directly!
Xu Nu was a little proud when he saw the Han general's spear breaking due to the heavy blows from both sides. After all, although my center of gravity is unbalanced, the iron stick in my hand is not broken. This is because I have taken advantage of it. When I was about to turn over and give the man a stick, I saw that the man almost broke it in an instant. He threw the spear directly, pulled out the battle knife from the back, and chopped it up at his raised legs on the horse's back!
Xu Nu was so scared that he immediately relaxed and retracted his legs hanging on the horse's back. He didn't have time to think about turning over and stick his hand back. He could only let go of the iron stick and hug the horse's neck, so his whole body did not fall. On the ground, but was dragged away by war horses...
From the perspective of others, I don’t know what the casualties between Gan Feng and Xu Nu were like. I just knew that after the two of them were hedging, Gan Feng was sitting and Xu Nu fell!
The Hussar cavalry suddenly shouted and their morale was full, while the Zahu was shocked and suddenly became a little panicked.
Gan Feng shouted loudly, and his subordinates did not rush straight to the middle part of the leader Ding Ling, but rushed along the road to the wings of the Ding Ling people...
It is not because Gan Feng dares not fight against the leader of Ding Ling, but because Gan Feng is now small. If he forcibly charges the Ding Ling man's thicker midfield, it is naturally excellent to be able to break through, but tens of thousands of people. Once the impact force is insufficient and the number of people who expand the wound is not enough, it is easy to fall into a dangerous situation where Dingling people are surrounded in turn.
Another aspect is that the position of the Dingling National People's Congress is relatively higher. If Gan Ning rushed straight to Dingling's middle formation, it would be like letting the cavalry attack upwards, and the terrain was unfavorable, so it would be better to hit these miscellaneous Hus on the flank roads.
In this way, not only can the queue of Zahu be more scattered, but it can also lure the queue led by Ding Ling from the hillside. At the same time, it can also pull the formation of Zahu, so that the original array of Zahu be deflected, which is convenient. The subsequent raid of his own troops!
These are the decisions made in his mind when Gan Feng fought on the horse's back!
If Gan Feng said it, he might not be able to say the basis for him to do so. Just like it is difficult for ordinary people to tell whether he should take the left leg or right leg first when walking, it would not be like a theorist. The difference between the left and right legs of the slightest leg, but that's what he did, and it's very effective.
Dingling's team was involuntarily pulled by Gan Feng. From the original position facing the mountain pass, it began to deflect, and turned to facing Gan Feng and others, and exposed the flanks to the direction of the mountain pass...
……
……
Some of the Han refugees who fled near the mountain pass stared blankly, some fled in panic, but some took the initiative to help the cavalry soldiers who stayed at the mountain pass to build a temporary resting point, and helped the cavalry who came later to wash the mud and snow on the horses' legs and bellies.
The Chinese people may also show the cunning and treacherousness of small farmers, but most of the time, they are simple and honest, just like when they saw the cavalry helping them intercept and fight against the miscellaneous Hu, some of them almost instinctively stood up and helped the cavalry soldiers as much as they could!
In order to build a shelter, some people dismantled their carts and used them as support, and threw all their belongings that they had worked hard to carry all the way and were reluctant to throw away on the muddy and snowy ground!
In order to wipe the mud and snow off the warhorse, someone took out his best linen clothes wrapped in his own clothes, and helped to wipe the warhorse without hesitation, and his hands and feet were gentle, just like treating his own children!
In order to make a bonfire as much as possible, someone stood on the wind outlet, just to block the wind, so that the hussars could light the fire faster, regardless of their frozen blue faces and hands!
No one sang loyalty, no one shouted about the country, and no one clamored for the people to touch their conscience, or said that they would offer a reward of thousands of gold, but these fleeing Han refugees did it just like that, without making any demands or shouting any slogans!
The hussars who followed, seeing such a scene, couldn't help but redden their eyes and shed tears!
The hussars did not ask these Han refugees to do anything, and the Han refugees did not know these hussars who had never met before, but at this moment, they were so harmonious, so harmonious, as if they were born to be integrated into one!
More and more hussars came, and more and more Han people joined the ranks of helping.
At the mountain pass, both soldiers and civilians forgot about the miscellaneous Hu who were howling outside the mountain pass, and they had completely trampled fear and panic under their feet!
Yes, when the army and the people are truly integrated into one, what is there to be afraid of and panic about?
These simple people do not understand any great principles, nor can they say any profound meanings of classics, but they know one thing, whoever treats them well, they will give ten times, or even a hundred times the return!
...
...
War is terrible, not only for people, but also for war horses.
Although war horses will instinctively avoid collisions, once the battlefield is chaotic and the high-speed charge starts, even if you want to avoid it, you often can't do it!
The horses and men hacked and slashed at each other, and the metal and flesh rubbed against each other, not only did a terrible sound burst out, but also a thick bloody smell filled the air!
Gan Feng took the lead and crashed into the flank of the Zahu team, with both hands spread out, like a weapon master on horseback, whether it was a spear or a sword, he picked it up and used it at will, either stabbing or chopping. The previous second, he was still picking up a Zahu off his horse, and the next second, he used the sword to cut open the abdomen of another Zahu, and his intestines flowed out!
Behind Gan Feng, the original more than a hundred cavalrymen followed, like a sharp knife, and immediately pierced a hole in the flank of the Dingling Zahu!
The combat effectiveness of the cavalry was also fully demonstrated at this moment!
Although they were few in number, they had no fear and swept through like a gust of wind, ignoring the shouting and rolling of the surrounding miscellaneous Hu and the shouting and trying to strangle them by the Dingling commander. They just followed Gan Feng, whistling, trampling, and colliding, and cut a bloody path!
On the other hand, the weaknesses of nomadic fishing and hunting peoples were also clearly revealed. Even though the number of Dingling miscellaneous Hu was large, it was difficult for them to cooperate with each other. In addition, their cultural level was relatively low and they knew relatively few tactical skills. They rushed all at once when they rushed and surrounded all at once when they surrounded. It was like the F2A in the later games, no matter what the situation was, there was no fine coordination at all.
Another very important point was that the weapons and armor of the Han Dynasty crushed the miscellaneous Hu. Even though there were some armored soldiers in the Dingling tribe, most of the miscellaneous Hu were leather armor or no armor, and they would naturally suffer when fighting face to face!
This crushing was based on the stable development of the Han Dynasty for three or four hundred years and the crystallization of the wisdom of countless Chinese people!
Even if the miscellaneous barbarians occasionally rob and steal, without the foundation accumulated by China over thousands of years, without the hardworking and kind people as the cornerstone, even if they are rampant for a while, they will gradually rot and collapse, and fall into decline!
The Dingling leader has not yet realized that the crisis has come. He is still staring at Gan Feng's part, clamoring to completely encircle Gan Feng and others, but he has exposed his weak chrysanthemum!
At the mountain pass, the support troops of the Hussars, who had a short rest and were encouraged by the people, shouted for victory and rushed out. The Dingling leader suddenly realized that his troops were so scattered and bad!
Various weapons flew, various sounds rang out, countless horses trampled everywhere, and the Dingling miscellaneous barbarians were chopped down by sickles like weeds!
At this time, these barbarians suddenly remembered their previous fear of the big man, and realized that they did not grow wings at all, but were just pigs that were blown up by the wind!
