Chapter 102 Clearing Up the Barbarians (continued)

Yang Yuan set up an ambush less than fifteen miles away, and a hundred and fifty barbarian cavalry were happily returning to the camp in the northeast with their spoils.

"Tu Huan, this time I snatched 500 catties of grain, three women, and two knives, which can be exchanged for several sheep when I go back. Daya and the others can survive this winter safely."

"Mu Zhe, if I were you, don't exchange food for sheep. Believe me, your sheep won't survive this winter."

Tu Huan and Mu Zhe were the two centurion leaders of this barbarian cavalry, but before setting off, Tu Huan's centurion had some problems and could only bring out more than 60 people.

So the two centurions now only have more than one hundred and fifty people.

The rules for the barbarians going south to plunder are very simple. Ordinary cavalry can get 40% of their trophies and turn in 60%.

Among them, 40% were handed over to the royal court, and the other 20% belonged to the chief of the cavalry.

For centurions like Tu Huan and Mu Zhe, there should be about 30 to 50 sheep if the trophies they plunder each time are exchanged for sheep.

However, he can't have all of these sheep under his command. Some of his subordinates who have made meritorious service and his chiefs have to show some performance.

Otherwise, his harvest may drop a lot during the next plunder.

But it was easy to buy twenty sheep in the end.

However, from the conversation between the two, it can be known that Tu Huan is not optimistic about raising sheep this winter.

Because according to the experience summed up in previous years, not only will there be less hay this winter, but it will also be extremely cold.

At this time, you should just hide in the warm tent and do nothing. Too many sheep will be a burden.

Mu Zhe was obviously persuaded by Tu Huan's words, but he was still hesitating.

After all, sheep have become a kind of livestock in the bones of barbarians. In the eyes of many barbarians, a tribe without sheep will lose hope.

In the constant communication between the two, they are gradually approaching the pocket formation that Yang Yuan set up for them.

Looking at the mountain pass not far away, the two stopped their horses. Mu Zhe raised his whip, pointed to the two hillsides beside the road and said, "Should we send someone to investigate first?"

Tu Huan followed the whip for a few seconds, and then gave a very positive answer: "No, no one here can resist us, and there will be no ambush."

Even so, Mu Zhe still let a dozen barbarian cavalry come to the front. Exploring the hillside was a waste of time, and he didn't believe that someone would ambush them.

Being able to let a dozen cavalry explore the way ahead was already his last precaution.

"Don't worry, wait until they all come in!"

Yang Yuan suppressed the imperial archers who wanted to shoot with their bows. In the eyes of the archers, these barbarian cavalry had all entered their range and could launch an attack.

However, Yang Yuan still wanted to move closer before attacking.

His purpose of doing this is to maximize the role of archers.

In the last battle, he discovered that the probability of casualties of imperial soldiers in close combat is not small.

Every soldier of the empire is Yang Yuan's treasure. Now this kind of terrain perfectly protects the safety of the archers, so of course the archers should play their role more.

At that time, spearmen and swordsmen will face less danger.

Seeing that the cavalry ahead did not find anything unusual, Tu Huan and Mu Zhe led the cavalry behind them into the mountain pass.

Yang Yuan lay on the hillside, staring at the barbarian cavalry below without blinking.

After the last cavalry entered his pocket, he immediately stood up, holding a strong bow, and shot three arrows in a row, taking the lives of three barbarian cavalry.

In order to ensure the lethality and suddenness of the first wave of attacks, Yang Yuan did not deliberately target Tu Huan and Mu Zhe.

So there were not two of them among the three cavalrymen who died.

But this does not mean that they are safe, the three arrows Yang Yuan shot are just a signal,

The archers ambushing on the hillsides on both sides stood up immediately after receiving the signal, and the bows and arrows in their hands began to show power, taking the lives of the barbarian cavalry one by one.

"Enemy attack, rush out!"

"Throw away all the carts and charge forward at full speed!"

Tu Huan and Mu Zhe were two qualified centurions. Facing the sudden ambush, they reacted very quickly, and it was also in line with the current battle situation.

In order to reduce the possibility of exposure, Yang Yuan did not arrange any obstacles on the road on the other side of the mountain pass.

So as long as the barbarian cavalry charged up, they would soon be able to break through the bottom of Yang Yuan's pocket.

But before breaking through the bottom of the pocket, they still have to face the last hurdle, the mixed formation of spearmen and sword soldiers of the Divine Guard Battalion.

Yang Yuan's bow and arrow not only awakened the archers on the hillsides on both sides, but also the spearmen and sword soldiers in front and behind the mountain pass.

Now this pocket is really tight. If the barbarian cavalry can't break through the phalanx of spearmen at the bottom of the pocket, all that awaits them is death.

Can they break through?

dream!

Not to mention that their charging speed at this time has not been raised to the highest level, but the continuous arrows on the hillside make it difficult for them to deal with it, and they cannot break through the phalanx of spearmen wholeheartedly.

The moment the barbarian cavalry stepped into the mountain pass, the outcome was already doomed.

Two quarters of an hour later, Yang Yuan came down from the hillside with his archers, and less than ten of the hundred and fifty barbarian cavalry were alive.

And they all got off the horse.

We said before that a barbarian off horseback is not a real barbarian.

"Catch them alive."

Yang Yuan said to Yan Yan.

Nodding seriously, he replied, "Yes, my lord."

Ten sword soldiers raised their swords and launched an attack on the remaining barbarian soldiers.

A few minutes later, the battle was over, and the barbarian soldiers were like a group of iron fools, who had no choice but to be captured under the superb sword skills of the soldiers.

"Pull it down and interrogate clearly. I want to know the information about all the barbarian cavalry in Cangyuan County, and all the information they know about the barbarian's southward movement."

Yang Yuan did not interrogate himself, and taught professional things to professional people.

Simple and labor-saving, the effect is good.

Two quarters of an hour later, Yang Yuan got the confession of the barbarian captives, which recorded all the information they knew about the barbarians.

Includes all information on the prairie and after heading south.

"The barbarians are not afraid of death."

Whoever told me that barbarian cavalry are brave and fearless is a lie.

Yang Yuan waved his hand and told people to take good care of the captured barbarian cavalry, they would not be the last batch of captured barbarians.

When more barbarians are captured in the future, it may play a more important role.

Now they have played a very important role, and the intelligence in Yang Yuan's hands has already given him the upper hand in the next battle.

Barbarian troopers, we are hunting you now!

Because the battle was not intense, Yang Yuan didn't ask the Shenwei Battalion to find a place to set up camp.

He began to rush towards the village given by the barbarian captives to be plundered by another barbarian cavalry.

"These barbarians are really bold, they dare to divide up like this!"

Zhao Long couldn't believe it after seeing the information he got from the captive.

As long as a commander with a little military literacy should know that such a division of troops on the enemy's land, once reinforcements arrive, they can only be defeated one by one.

Isn't this courting death?

But the barbarians are so courageous, or they believe that there will be no reinforcements from Shunguo, otherwise Yang Yuan doesn't understand why they did this.

But this is very beneficial to him and the Divine Guard Battalion. The barbarians do not divide their troops. How could he have the opportunity to take the Divine Guard Battalion to defeat them one by one?

So, facing the barbarian's division of troops, Yang Yuan could only shout: Well done!
