At the same time, all Huo Yunying heard was the sound of horse hooves.
In front of him, a group of cavalry was riding on horseback.
The sound of horse hooves trampled on the ground, raising clouds of smoke and dust.
The number of these cavalry was not large, only a dozen or so, but there were also many infantry following them, more than a hundred of them.
Facing this northern barbarian force, Huo Yunying was naturally a little nervous.
And beside him were rebels with their heads wrapped in red scarves.
The clothes of these rebels were in tatters, and the weapons in their hands were also very crude.
Huo Yunying is holding a rusty spear in his hand, which can be said to be a disappointing piece of equipment in any previous copy. But there are many other rebels with far inferior weapons to him.
Some are just a wooden stick, and some are even more extreme, just a sharpened bamboo pole.
These rebels were larger in number than the Northern Barbarian troops, numbering about two hundred people.
It was just the equipment gap between the two sides that made Huo Yunying feel uneasy.
Can I fight?
If these rebels were all played by players, it might not be a big problem, but these are all indigenous people.
All of them are thin and weak, and they don't look very capable.
The only advantage is probably the high morale.
Huo Yunying could only calm down for a moment, holding the spear in both hands, and at the same time aimed at the saber on the waist of the opponent's Northern Barbarian cavalry.
He is not very good at using spears and prefers to use swords, but the rebels obviously cannot equip him with such advanced weapons.
If you can kill a Northern Barbarian cavalryman and seize the saber from him, perhaps the subsequent battle will be easier.
The enemy is coming in an instant!
Huo Yunying had no other choice but to fight. Because at this time he was just a leader in the rebel army, with only ten soldiers under his command, and he did not have any decision-making power in this battle.
"kill!"
The leader of the rebel army shouted loudly and rushed towards the enemy formation.
The other rebels were also inspired and rushed towards the oncoming cavalry!
Huo Yunying couldn't help but be shocked. Aren't these people afraid of death?
Dare you confront the Northern Barbarian cavalry like this?
However, the scene in the next second shocked him instantly.
The horses of these Northern Barbarian cavalry were galloping, and although they knocked several rebels away, they soon fell into a tight siege.
There were even several Northern Barbarian cavalrymen who were thrown off their horses because their horses were stabbed by the spears of the rebels.
The rebel soldiers swarmed up and stabbed the barbarian soldiers to death with spears.
As for the infantry of the Northern Barbarians, their combat effectiveness was even more vulnerable. It could be seen that there were not only Northern Barbarians here, but also many other ethnic groups. After only a symbolic resistance, they collapsed.
Huo Yunying rushed forward with the rebels with a confused look on her face, and used her nimble skills to kill a cavalryman, which attracted applause from the rebels.
But Huo Yunying herself was a little confused.
The legendary invincible Northern Barbarian cavalry...that's it?
He had previously fought against the Northern Barbarian cavalry during the Orderer expedition. The Northern Barbarian cavalry at that time was the Northern Barbarian cavalry in the middle of the Great Sheng Dynasty, and had fought against General Deng.
At that time, he felt the terrible oppression of the cavalry for the first time.
Especially the heavy cavalry. These giant steel beasts, all armored, can charge and scatter the infantry like chopping melons and vegetables. Then they simply harvest them, raising their sabers and cutting them one by one.
The players had high fighting spirit and were not afraid of death, so they could barely withstand it. These rebels were obviously weak and had not received much military training. How could they still have the upper hand against the Northern Barbarian cavalry?
This is a bit outrageous.
Moreover, the tactical proficiency displayed by these Northern Barbarian cavalry is really disappointing.
A small amount of cavalry clashing with infantry is the stupidest strategy.
The correct way to fight is to wait and see from a distance first, and use high mobility to continuously mount, shoot, and harass. The infantry wants to fight but cannot catch up, and wants to retreat but cannot run. If the stalemate persists, wait until the infantry is exhausted and morale is on the verge of collapse before launching another attack.
Impact, relying on the powerful impact to directly break up the infantry formation, and win naturally.
The Northern Barbarians' cavalry already had stirrups, saddles and various weapons. It was really disappointing that they could fight like this.
The battle ended quickly, and the rebels successfully captured a large amount of equipment, prisoners, and some horses.
Huo Yunying fell into deep thought.
"This first battle is a bit too easy.
"Although I have killed a few enemies, in fact, judging from the comparison of the strength of the enemy and ourselves, it seems that they are the same with or without me.
"So, this is what happened when Taizu Sheng first joined the rebel army?
"Well, it's very possible. Sheng Taizu was just a junior commander when he first joined the rebel army, and he didn't have many subordinates. He stood out because of his heroic battles and extraordinary strategies.
"The Northern Barbarian cavalry at that time had been rapidly corrupted, and even many of the Barbarian children were very unfamiliar with riding horses.
"So, it is not surprising that this situation occurs, otherwise the rebel army would not be able to develop and grow in a short period of time.
"In fact, it was not until the middle and late stages of the war that the Northern Barbarians reacted, gathered heavy troops to encircle and suppress the rebels, and formed a new army with the local landlords, and then regained the upper hand. And after the Northern Barbarians were completely driven back to Mobei, the blood in their blood
Only then did the barbarian genes gradually recover and become brave and good at fighting again, eventually becoming a huge threat that cannot be ignored in the early and middle stages of the Great Sheng Dynasty...
"Then the question is, what is my main task in playing the role of 'Rebel'?"
Huo Yunying was a little confused.
The goal this time is too unclear.
The goals of the previous battles were very clear, and they were nothing more than defeating the enemy or achieving established strategic goals.
But this time the goal is obviously not that simple.
"According to Sheng Taizu's script back then... it should have allowed me to continuously accumulate military exploits in battle and develop my own power?
"Well, this possibility is very high."
Huo Yunying can't think of what else she can do for the time being. Judging from the current situation, playing the role of "rebel" is not a one-time deal, but requires many battles to accumulate military merit, and the final result will be used to determine whether the pass is passed.
Therefore, he could only take one step at a time and make as much contribution to the rebel army as possible first.
…
Chu Ge finished reviewing the last memorial and rubbed his temples with a headache.
Among the memorials I saw this time, there seemed to be no important cases.
The reason why I say "seems" is because he is not completely sure.
In fact, most of the cases worthy of being reported to officials were relatively urgent and important cases at the time. If they were not dealt with, it might be fine, but there might be trouble.
Therefore, Chu Ge did not dare to neglect, and he still had to read every memorial carefully.
After the "North and South List Case", the system will no longer prompt important cases, and he has to rely on himself to identify them.
Just when he was about to read a new batch of files, his vision was filled with fog.
This means that he is about to wake up in reality.
Chu Ge couldn't help but stretch. This was the first time he felt tired from the bottom of his heart in the game "Dark Sand", and he couldn't wait to wake up soon.
Obviously, this kind of fatigue is not physical, but the fatigue that naturally accumulates from playing the role of Taizu Sheng in his twilight years for so long.
Although everything will be cleared when he returns to reality, it still makes Chu Ge feel a little embarrassed.
"I don't know how the other three people are doing..."
Chu Ge thought about setting up a chat group as soon as he returned to reality and discussing the current situation with the other three people.
