Yang Yuan set up an ambush less than 15 miles away, and the barbarian cavalry of 150 people was happily returning to the northeast camp with their spoils.

"Tu Huan, this time I grabbed 500 catties of grain, three women, and two knives. When I go back, I can exchange for several sheep. Daya and the others can spend it safely this winter."

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

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

So the two centenarians now only have more than 150 people.

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

40% of them were handed over to the royal court, and the other 20% went to the commander of the cavalry.

For a hundred chiefs like Tu Huan and Mu Zhe, there should be about thirty to fifty sheep each time the loot they loot is replaced by sheep.

However, he can't manage all of these sheep. Some of the men who have made meritorious deeds, as well as his superiors, need to express themselves.

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

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

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

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

At such a time, you should stay 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, tribes without sheep would lose hope.

In the constant communication between the two, they are also gradually approaching the pocket array that Yang Yuan has laid out for them.

Looking at the mountain pass not far away, the two stopped the war horse under their seats, Mu Zhe raised his whip, pointed to the two sides of the hillside beside the road and said, "Would you like to send someone to investigate first?"

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

Even so, Mu Zhe let more than a dozen barbarian cavalrymen come to the front. It was a waste of time to explore the hillside, and he didn't believe that anyone would ambush them.

It was his last vigilance to be able to let a dozen cavalry explore the road ahead.

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

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

However, Yang Yuan still wanted to get closer before launching an attack.

The purpose of his doing this is to play the role of the archer with the greatest strength.

In the last stand-up fight, he found out that the probability of casualties among imperial soldiers in close combat is still not small.

Every imperial soldier is Yang Yuan's treasure. Now this terrain perfectly protects the safety of the archers. Of course, the archers should play more roles.

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

Tu Huan and Mu Zhe saw that the cavalry in front did not notice any abnormality, and entered the mountain pass with the cavalry behind.

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

After the last cavalry entered his pocket, he immediately stood up, pulled a strong bow in his hand, and shot three arrows in a row, taking the lives of the 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 no two of them among the three cavalrymen who died.

But this does not mean that they are safe. The three arrows shot by Yang Yuan are just a signal. After receiving the signal, the archers ambushing on the hillsides on both sides stood up immediately. life.

"Enemy attack, rush out!"

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

Tu Huan and Mu Zhe were two qualified centurions. When faced with a sudden ambush, their reaction was fast, and they were also in line with the current battle situation.

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

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

However, before breaking through the bottom of their pockets, they had to face the last hurdle, a mixed formation of Shenwei battalion spearmen and swordsmen.

Yang Yuan's bow and arrow not only awakened the archers on both sides of the hillside, but also the spearmen and swordsmen before and after the mountain pass.

Now the pocket is really tight. If the barbarian cavalry can't break through the phalanx of spearmen at the bottom of the pocket, all they have to do is perish.

Can they break through?

dream!

Not to mention that their charging speed at this time has not been mentioned as the highest, the continuous arrows on the hillside made it difficult for them to deal with them, and they could not break through the spearmen phalanx with all their hearts.

When the barbarian cavalry stepped into the mountain pass, the result was already doomed.

Two quarters of an hour later, Yang Yuan led the archers down the hillside, and less than ten of the 150 barbarian cavalry were alive.

And they all got off the horse.

As we said before, barbarians who leave horseback are not real barbarians.

"Catch them alive."

Yang Yuan said to Grim.

Nodding solemnly and earnestly, 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 battle under the horses, the barbarian soldiers were like a group of iron Hanhan, under the exquisite swordsmanship of the swordsmen, they could only be captured helplessly.

"Pull it down and interrogate it clearly. I want to know the information on all the barbarian cavalry in Cangyuan County, as well as all the information they know about the barbarians going south."

Yang Yuan did not personally interrogate ~lightnovelpub.net~ professional things to teach professional people to do.

Simple and labor-saving effect.

Two quarters of an hour later, Yang Yuan received a confession from the barbarian captive, which recorded all the information they knew about the barbarian.

Includes all information on the steppe and after going south.

"Aren't all barbarians not afraid of death?"

Whoever said to me that barbarian cavalry are brave and not afraid of death is a lie.

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

When more barbarians are captured in the future, maybe they can play a more important role.

Now their role has been great, and the intelligence in Yang Yuan's hand has already allowed him to take the lead in the next battle.

Barbarian cavalry, now we are hunting you!

Because the battle was not fierce, Yang Yuan did not ask the Shenwei Camp to find a place to camp.

He began to rush towards the village that the other barbarian cavalry had given to the barbarian captives to raid.

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

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

A commander with a little military literacy should know that when troops are divided in this way 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 no reinforcements from Shunguo will arrive, or Yang Yuan doesn't understand why they do this.

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

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