Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 119
Seeing that the coach fell from the horse, the guards around Yang Shihou hurriedly surrounded him, and saw Yang Shihou's superb arrow.

"Big handsome shot!"

"Unparalleled in the world!"

The guards exclaimed that the arrow technique was true, and what they admired even more was that Yang Shihou's fall was even more shocking.

Wearing a heavy armor weighing sixty to seventy catties, he could still roll over when falling from a horse, unload the fall, and stably bend his bow and set an arrow.

This skill is not so easy to practice.

Although Yang Shihou looks a bit embarrassed now, it does not hinder the adoration of his soldiers.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and chase the enemy!"

"Han Xihe, bring your horse to Ben Shuai!"

"promise!"

The Silver Spear Efficiency Army won the first battle and chased the enemy for ten miles, mainly because the horses under their crotches were really overwhelmed and couldn't go that far.

Even so, the servants of the Sarqi tribe were stopped, and the Huhu tribe and the Naiqi tribe were unable to catch up and fled.

"The Naiqi Department is behind our army, and it can be destroyed easily. The Huhu Department is nothing special, and it is much worse than the Sarqi Department."

"Commander, in this battle, our army killed two thousand soldiers and captured five hundred enemies. Most of the rest have fled."

Yang Shihou frowned. These tribes on the grassland are easy to fight, but it is not easy to win completely.

Most of the Silver Spear School's Army are heavy cavalry, unless they rush to kill each other, if the opponent wants to run away and use heavy cavalry to chase light cavalry, it will be a joke.

Back at the Buhuabu camp, the guard Kang Yuncong pointed at the black herdsmen, and said kindly to Master Yang: "Commander Yang, how do we deal with these troubles?"

trouble!What a trouble!What Yang Shihou saw in his eyes were strings of money. Tuoba Sigong's Dingnan army surrendered soldiers, and when they arrived in Chang'an, they were in short supply. The strong ones could be sold for ten pennies, even the average ones for three or four. It's okay.

"The brigade still has to hurry, send a team of Qingqi to escort to Shenniao City, and wait for the court to deal with it."

"What about the cattle, sheep and horses?"

The Buhua tribe is worthy of being a Wanzhang tribe. The surrounding area of ​​hundreds of miles is their grazing area. The herdsmen live in grass and are quite scattered.

There are more than 1 cattle and sheep in the big tent of the leader of the Buhua Department. Cao Guan under the leader's tent estimates that there are 20 cattle and sheep in the Buhua Department, but they are scattered within a radius of a hundred miles.

The horses are very concentrated. Because of the war, most of the horses in the tribe were collected into the big tent, and there were [-] horses, big and small.

"The horses can be selected first from the army. One person has three horses, and all the rest are sent to Shenniao City. As for the cattle and sheep, the army will be stationed in the Buhuabu camp for three days, gather the herdsmen, cattle and sheep, and drive them all to Shenniao City."

The next day, Yang Shihou sent a commander of the capital, Gong Rideng, to send a thousand fine horsemen to break into the big tent of the Naiqi tribe, and the Naiqi tribe surrendered.

And Yang Shihou led his own army, and escorted the leader of the Sarqi tribe, Pu Yenu, to the camp of the Sarqi tribe...

As for the Huhu Department, Yang Shihou has no spare power now, so he can only let it go.

Liangzhou, City of Divine Birds
In the afterglow of the setting sun, a puff of smoke in the distance is getting closer and closer.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers guarding the city all looked nervous, and someone called for the city guard.

When the guard saw this scene, his face changed drastically.

"Is the last part here to attack the city?"

Feng Jiwen, the defense envoy of the Hexi Capital, heard the report and also climbed up the tower. Seeing the smoke and dust, his heart sank.

"Why did Yan Mobu come to attack the city at this time?"

Feng Jiwen was also surprised. He had been in Shenniao City for many years, and the last siege of the city was usually after autumn. At that time, the war horses were fat and strong, but now it should be the time for grazing!
"Feng Fangshi, looking at the smoke and dust, the general estimates that there are [-] soldiers and horses."

"Thirty thousand!" Feng Jiwen was stunned.

"When will the Momo be able to organize such a large army?"

In the past, only 3000 to [-] people came to attack the city. With an army of [-], can Shenniaocheng be defended?

"Quickly, send someone to ask for help from the imperial court."

Feng Jiwen wondered if he should escape from Shenniao City. He didn't have the confidence to hold the [-] army.

At this moment, Yin Jifeng stared at the smoke and dust gradually approaching.

"No, no, the siege at the end of the city will not bring so many cattle and sheep, and there are many herdsmen inside, and there are not many real soldiers."

Everyone looked together and carefully distinguished.

"It's really not all soldiers. It seems that these soldiers are scattered outside, as if they are guarding these herdsmen."

"It's strange."

Yin Jimu's eyesight was very good, and after a while, he gradually saw the coming group of people clearly.

Although he didn't know the leading generals, he could tell the clothes these people were wearing.

"It's the Silver Spear Efficiency Army!"

Yin Jimu couldn't help laughing, this Yang Shihou is very lucky, he must have disturbed many tribes at the end of the village!The herds of cattle and sheep are estimated to be no less than 2, and the number of horses is estimated to be tens of thousands. The black crowd, including men, women, and children, must be [-] to [-]. It is really a big deal.

The general came to the gate of the city and shouted: "A certain is Wu Yizhen, the commander of the Second Capital of the Silver Spear Xiaojie Army. On the order of my commander-in-chief, he escorted the prisoners of war of the Mobuhua Department. Please Feng Defense Envoy to open the door."

Yin Jifeng was both envious and happy, and hurriedly ordered the guards to open the gate.

Unexpectedly, Feng Jiwen blocked him.

"General Yin, is it possible that the Silver Spear Xiaojie Army was forced to surrender by the Momo in order to fraudulently open the Divine Bird City?"

Yin Jifeng shook his head, and said angrily: "Since you want to cheat to open the city gate, why bring so many cattle and sheep servants, Commander Yin, let's see if those people have ever worn weapons or armor."

Feng Jiwen shook his head.

"Commander Feng should worry about what to do with these cattle, sheep, horses, and these herdsmen..."

Feng Jiwen was thinking about it too.

Shenniao City is a military city, with 3000 soldiers stationed, and only [-] to [-] people in the city, most of them are the families of the soldiers, or some vendors who come here to do business.

"The herdsmen can be placed in the open space in the south city, and the cattle and sheep can be placed in the field of the military school."

Yin Jifeng frowned, and said: "The food and drink of more than 2 herdsmen, and the grass that tens of thousands of livestock eat every day, does Defense Envoy Feng think this can be solved in Shenniao City?"

"This...how is this good!"

Yin Jifeng said: "You can arrange people to register and make books, and send two people from each household as pledges, and send soldiers to guard them, and distribute the livestock to each household. These herdsmen will graze within ten miles of the sacred bird, and send cavalry teams to cruise. In a few days, the imperial court will definitely have a decree, and then just listen to the imperial court's arrangement."

"Wonderful, wonderful... so good."

Ten to twenty thousand was not much, but as a few days passed, officers and men of the Jiejun Army with silver guns escorted cattle, sheep, livestock, and herdsmen every day. The total number of cattle and sheep even reached [-] to [-], and the number of herdsmen doubled.

Yin Jifeng was very greedy, and on the seventh day, there was a continuous stream of cattle, sheep and herdsmen.

Yin Jifeng felt that Yang Shihou was just showing off, and Mo Dao under him became more and more hungry and thirsty these days.

Ask Shangguan Feng Jiwen to fight?
It's not that Yin Jifeng didn't ask for it, it's useless.

Go the way of the Ministry of War?

Yin Jifeng didn't even know, where did the gate of the Ministry of War open?

The best way, of course, is to go directly to the emperor to ask for a fight, but he is only a deputy defense envoy, and he is not enough for the emperor.

Yin Jifeng directly played Yeluzi.

"General Yin, do you really want to persuade His Majesty?"

"Yes!"

After Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, there has always been a road that leads directly to His Majesty the Emperor.

That is, the lower officials can directly write to His Majesty the emperor to advise the emperor on whether the government's decrees are in line with reality.

Yin Jifeng's attitude is very firm.

"Something has been decided!"
