Ke Zui snatched an ownerless war horse, raised his sword and shouted: "If you don't want to die, follow me!"
After saying that, he fled towards the back.
The horse bandits around seemed to have found half of their backbone, and they could no longer care about the money. They all ran after Ke Wei.
But at this time, Xu Wei asked Wang Yong to lead the cavalry to attack and hunt down the fleeing horse bandits. Most of these horse bandits lost their horses and could not outrun the recuperating cavalry with two legs. Except for a few who escaped,
Except for Shengtian, most of them died under Wang Yong's saber, while the remaining ones raised their hands and surrendered directly after seeing that there was no hope of escape.
After seeing the fate of their companions, the remaining horse bandits lost all morale, and leaders such as Huo Shaoyun had no choice but to withdraw their troops.
After one battle, Xu Wei wiped out 5,000 enemies, while only a few of his own were injured. It was a complete victory. After seeing the horse bandits and others retreating, Xu Wei also paid money to withdraw his troops, clean up the battlefield, and prepare to fight again the next day.
Shan Wu, County Magistrate’s Mansion!
Dozens of horse bandit leaders gathered here. They were defeated in the first battle, which made them demoralized and extremely depressed. If they were defeated head-on, they would not be so depressed. However, Lei Gong defeated them with inhumane methods.
It makes them unhappy. What kind of real ability does Lei Gong have?
Among them, Ke Zui, who suffered the most heavy losses, kept drinking.
You must know that he was originally the leader of the Xianbei tribe. He brought 3,000 people here with the intention of making a fortune. But now only a few hundred of his men have come back alive. His tribe's vitality has been seriously damaged. According to the laws of the grassland,
Maybe after returning, his tribe will be annexed by other large tribes. How can this not make him angry, annoyed and frightened? He is now standing on the edge of death.
No one from the leader of the horse bandits spoke. In such a depressing scene, Huo Shaoyun had to stand up, because it was he who suggested breaking away from the Huns and going out alone.
He himself has more than 3,000 men. Because of his strong strength, he does not want to be the Huns' little brother. Moreover, he did not expect that there are so many horse bandits in the entire north. This force is not much inferior to the Huns. He himself is ambitious and wants to
He relies on these horse bandits to achieve his hegemony, so he can fool everyone into working alone.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. Lei Gong used tricks to defeat us. It's not really a skill. We won't lose much. We can still fight with Lei Gong!" Because we didn't rush to the front, but we didn't suffer much losses. Among the horse bandits,
Naturally, the one with the big fist is the boss. After Ke Zui, who had the ability to threaten Huo Shaoyun's status, disappeared, he became somewhat of a 'martial arts leader'.
"Master Huo Shaoyun is right, Lei Gong's conspiracy can only be used once, there is no way we will be fooled next time!"
But even though Huo Shaoyun boosted morale in this way, only a few pony bandit leaders responded, and the others were not fooled at all. After seeing the combat effectiveness of the Lei Gong Department, they secretly said in shock: "As expected, I can fight with the Youzhou frontier army.
As expected, they are extremely elite!”
They, the horse bandits, had fought the most with the border troops, so they naturally understood that the tyranny of the border troops was not comparable to that of a mob like them. After such a comparison, and seeing the combat effectiveness of Lei Gong's tribe today, they realized that they were no match for Lei Gong at all.
.
The clown is actually himself!
Seeing that everyone wanted to escape, Huo Shaoyun continued: "Today, Thunder Lord threw away hundreds of millions of treasures in order to defeat us. Everyone has seen this, so how much treasure will there be in Thunder Lord's camp?
How much treasure will there be in Mayi?"
"It's more than tens of billions. This is more than enough money for us all to make a fortune. You won't find such a fat sheep in a thousand years. We really have to give up like this!"
"Tens of billions!" The leader breathed three cents heavier again. If Lei Gong was rich before, they only heard rumors, but today they have seen how rich Lei Gong is, and he actually threw away hundreds of millions of dollars for a battle.
The treasures, this said that Lei Gong had tens of billions, they had to believe it!
And Huo Shaoyun was right. Such a big fat sheep had never been seen before. If they lost this opportunity, they would never encounter it again.
Then the eyes of these horse bandit leaders became firm again.
Only Lone Wolf was slightly awake. He asked: "The Thunder God's crossbows are very powerful. They shoot tens of thousands of arrows at a time, like a heavy rain. There are more arrows than the Han army. If there is no way to deal with the Thunder God's crossbows, we will die."
It's impossible for me to get in front of Thunder Lord even if I'm naked."
Arrows in this era were not cheap. They cost about 20 dollars, which is equivalent to two buckets of rice. Even the regular army did not have many arrows. Everyone usually shot a few long arrows and then drew their swords to kill people.
The Lei Gong tribe shot more than 200,000 arrows in one battle, which was equivalent to consuming 20,000 shi of food. They used money to kill people. This was the first time they encountered Huo Shaoyun, but they had to admit the power of Xu Weiyu's arrows.
You can really eliminate them on the offensive path!
Even these leaders of the horse bandits, even now think of the long arrows roaring towards the battlefield, the arrow arrays are as dense as the violent wind and rain, leaving no one with nowhere to hide.
One wave could kill less than half of their companions. The look in the eyes of the horse thief who died under the crossbow still frightened them. This was simply the coming of death.
Ke Zuizhi, who had been silent for a long time, said: "What's so difficult about this? Just carry a shield on your horse. A crossbow arrow 100 steps away has no power at all. A leather shield can block it. As long as we dodge a wave."
The time it takes for them to string up the crossbows is enough for us to rush to the front of Thunder Lord's phalanx, and then as long as we break through Thunder Lord's military formation, the crossbow archers inside can only become the dead souls under our sabers!"
These horse bandits usually only deal with caravans, and they are only small patrols against the Han army. They have no experience in fighting large groups. But Ke is the most different. He was a small leader in the hands of Tan Shihuai, and
He had fought with 50,000 Han troops and had experience in dealing with Han army's bows and crossbows.
"You are going to deal with Thunder Lord, and I am willing to be the vanguard. My only requirement is that all the captured Thunder Lords must be handed over to me, and I also want 10% of the property!"
This was the only way Ke could think of to save himself. Without his followers, he would have died if he returned to the grassland. If he could defeat Xu Wei with the help of these horse bandits, he would be able to regain his strength quickly if he had property and prisoners.
But Huo Shaoyun smiled slightly and said: "I can hand over the prisoners of the Lei Gong Department to you, but if you really want 10% of the property, I'm afraid you won't be able to take it back with you!"
Ke valued the horse bandit leaders around him the most. Although his more than 100 subordinates had stronger combat capabilities than ordinary horse bandits, they were already relatively weak in this horse bandit alliance.
He gritted his teeth and said: "I don't need money, but I have horses, cattle, sheep and food."
As long as there are enough supplies on the grassland, it is very simple to recruit thousands of people.
