Chapter 124 Slaying the Demon
"This excrement hasn't dried out yet, so it probably hasn't gone far yet." Feng Yun Shang picked up a piece of excrement and after rubbing it, it was still wet inside. He pondered for a moment and said, "Everyone get on the horse and chase."
The cavalry is a very expensive unit. There are only three thousand cavalry in Zhumadian, and they were all brought out by Fengyun Shang. These three thousand people are all monks, and they have strong combat effectiveness.
Following the feces and footprints, Fengyun Shang secretly said that it was lucky that the footprints in the desert were not buried by the wind and sand, otherwise the tracking might be even more difficult.
"Sir, judging from the footprints, this batch of monsters should be less than five hundred. We can definitely swallow them in one gulp." Hu Defu said while lying on the horse: "It can be considered a great achievement."
According to the system of the Yunni Kingdom, if after a war, the losses are greater than the gains, the general will be demoted. If he calls a war with the human race and beheads more than three times the number of his own soldiers, it will be counted as a beheading surplus. If he calls a war with the monster race and beheads more than three times, the surplus will be counted.
Twice the number of one's own soldiers is counted as a beheading surplus. Generally, after reaching a surplus, a marshal like Hu Defu can be promoted.
Fengyun Shang brought out 3,000 people this time, so he had to kill 6,000 monsters to be considered a beheading surplus, allowing Hu Defu to be promoted. Five hundred monsters can only be regarded as a small achievement in comparison.
"Let's talk about it after we catch up." Fengyun Shang just said this and then fell silent. He lay on the horse and stared straight ahead, as if the demon clan would be overtaken at any time.
"Dismount and groom." After reining in his mount, Fengyun Shang shouted, took the lead in dismounting, and began to wash the horse.
The battle with the demon clan is a tough battle, and the condition of the horses and soldiers must be ensured at all times, so the frequency of repairs is also higher. If they only know how to chase with their heads covered, I am afraid that by the time they catch up, they will be at the end of the crossbow. Yes.
It caused many unnecessary casualties.
About a quarter of an hour later, Fengyun Shang and the others began to pursue again.
The demon clan didn't know that there were three thousand people chasing them behind them, so their marching speed was not very fast. After two rests, they were overtaken by Fengyun Shang and the others.
After taking a quick look, he found that these monsters were not very ferocious, so Feng Yun Shang shouted loudly, "Charge and dig through."
Three thousand military horses rushed towards the five hundred demon tribes, and the yellow sand rolled up was like a sandstorm, covering the sky and the sun. Holding the spear, Feng Yun Shang and several monks in the Chengdan realm rushed out first, like the tip of a spear,
He plunged into the demon clan's team.
The spear in his hand pierced into the skull of a monster. Feng Yun Shang immediately let go, drew out the scimitar from his waist, crawled on the horse's back, and harvested the lives of these monsters.
Like Fengyun Shang, all the soldiers abandoned their spears and replaced them with scimitars at their waists after stabbing them. Pulling out their spears would only slow down their attack speed and fall into the siege of the demon clan.
, losing the biggest advantage of cavalry, so they abandoned their guns.
The battlefield was in a mess, and all five hundred monsters died miserably, with no survivors. Nearly a hundred of the three thousand cavalrymen also fell, with only a few minor injuries and none seriously injured, but there were many people who lost their strength.
"Organize the battlefield and record the battle achievements." Feng Yun Shang got off his horse, picked up his spear, looked for the recorder, and said with a smile: "I beheaded six levels, please record it."
For officers, the promotion is based on the number of beheadings of the entire army. The promotion of individual soldiers is based on the number of individual beheadings. The first time it is one head to upgrade one level, the second time it is two heads.
The third time is three times and three heads, until you become an officer.
I am not afraid of someone pretending to claim military merit. After all, there are so many people around me watching, and everyone knows who killed whom. What's more, the recorder is a monk in the realm of refining gods. On such a battlefield with thousands of people, how many people are there?
Each recording officer can keep an eye on it. If the scale of the battlefield expands, the number of recording officers will also increase accordingly.
Fengyun Shang had beheaded six levels this time, which was already a lot. It was enough for him to be promoted to level three, one step away from being an officer.
In most cases, several people share one head, and it takes a long time to level up. Fengyun Shang still has the advantage of strength.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Fengyun Shang and the others took the bodies of their comrades to an oasis. They found a place, dug a yellow sand grave on the outskirts of the oasis, and buried the bodies in it.
They will continue to fight, so it is not suitable to carry corpses. Firstly, it will affect their impact, and secondly, they are afraid that the corpse will be damaged during the battle.
Bury them here, and take them away when they return later. Even if Fengyun Shang and the others are unable to take them back due to an accident, other troops will take them back and hand them over to Fengyun Shang and the others.
Although this is very troublesome, at least it can return to its roots.
The blood on the horse's hooves had begun to dry. There was a bag hanging on the recorder's horse, and the bag contained the left ears of the monsters. It was not enough for the recorder to write down the military merits, he had to bring the left ears of the monsters back with him.
In the military camp, after being confirmed by the marshal, the credit was truly in his hands.
Although Hu Defu is with the team and his merits can be recorded immediately, these left ears still have to be taken back. The Ministry of War will conduct random inspections from time to time to prevent anyone from committing fraud and falsely reporting military merits.
After several attacks in succession, Fengyun Shang and the others did not encounter any monsters. After all, this desert is neither big nor small. Both Fengyun Shang and the monsters can only be regarded as a small dot in it. Can they?
It all depends on luck.
Fengyun Shang even led his cavalry around the edge of the desert for two days, and finally retreated without breaking into the demon clan's territory.
The three thousand cavalry were still a little short, and when things came to a head, Fengyun Shang still didn't dare to be so crazy. Of course, he was also afraid of starting a war between the demon clan and the Yunni Kingdom.
"Let's go back to the camp." I went to the oasis, took my comrades who were temporarily placed there, and returned to the military camp. Although I only killed five hundred monsters this time, one person still gained enough credit.
, has been promoted to the fourth level, and can be regarded as a junior officer.
Hu Defu was not qualified for the appointment of a junior officer. He had to report to the generalissimo, and only after confirmation by the generalissimo would a certificate of appointment be issued.
In this regard, the generalissimo would generally not stop him. After all, every additional general would be regarded as a leadership contribution. He wished he could promote all the soldiers to generals in one fell swoop.
Although he is very satisfied with the soldiers in Makoudian, Fengyun Shang still has to practice it himself. After all, every general has different habits of using troops. Since Fengyun Shang has decided to use Makoudian as the place where he started in Yunni Country
, naturally his military habits must be penetrated into the bones of the soldiers in Makoudian.
Fengyun Shang does not plan to go to the two small military camps except Makoudian for the time being. Ten birds in the forest are worse than one in the hand. Instead of holding the three small military camps in his hands but not being able to hold them firmly, Fengyun Shang prefers
Keep Mahoudian firmly in your hands.
Speaking of which, Fengyun Shang feels that he is very lucky. Although the Chaotian Feng Clan was destroyed, it left him with a lot of connections and people to help him, which made his road to recovery much easier. If it were not for Feng Guo and Yun Ni Guo
Fengyun Shang estimates that he is still struggling in the Mangdang Mountains now. Even if he makes Dongyu Village bigger and stronger, so what? He is not a bandit yet. If he wants to revive his family, he doesn't know how many years and months he will have to wait.
Training the soldiers of Makoudian is actually not a simple matter. This team has been marked with Hu Defu's mark. If Fengyun Shang wants to put his own mark, he must first remove Hu Defu's mark, even if there is Hu Defu's own mark.
Help, it is also harder than drawing on white paper.
What Feng Yun Shang valued most about the cavalry was speed. Rather than letting the cavalry rush into battle, he preferred to have the cavalry attack thousands of miles, cut off people's food routes, or attack from behind. This style is actually more suitable for light cavalry than horse mouths.
Shop's heavy cavalry.
But compared to monsters, human monks' bodies are very fragile. In order to reduce casualties, they all wear heavy armor. Therefore, it is also a test for Fengyun Shang's military style.
If you survive it, you will be a famous general in the world. If you cannot survive it, you can only become a famous general of a country.
After a general's success, Fengyun Shang didn't know how many of these soldiers from Makoudian would survive after following him. But he felt that it was a good choice for these soldiers to follow him. After all, here, these soldiers
Soldiers who work hard can find a way to ascend without being blocked at a certain height.
