Chapter 116 The Northern King Is Going to Make a Big Move!
Seeing the black figure in the distance, Li Feng frowned and shouted again: "All troops on alert!"
The cavalry that just passed by was the Northern King's cavalry, but now it shouldn't be the Northern King's cavalry!
So Lin Xiuming thought that this time it was most likely that the barbarian army came to take revenge.
However, when the soldiers were ready to fight as if they were facing a great enemy, Li Feng said: "General Lin, don't be nervous, this is also the prince's cavalry!"
Hearing this, Lin Xiuming and Zhou Yu were stunned.
How is this possible?
It is incredible that such a poor place in Beijun can support 5,000 heavy cavalry. Now Li Feng actually told them that the Northern King has another cavalry!
Just when Lin Xiuming felt that his worldview was about to be overturned, the cavalry led by Wen Renlie had already arrived in front of them.
This time, the cavalry formation led by Wen Renlie was even more shocking, because this time there were more than 5,000 cavalry.
Seeing such a large group of heavy cavalry, Lin Xiuming and Zhou Yu, as well as the 70,000 soldiers of the court, stayed where they were.
When the heavy cavalry of tens of thousands approached, the soldiers of the imperial court could not help but tighten their weapons.
How powerful is the deterrent power of the heavy cavalry?
Let's put it this way. In the history of Daxia, there was a record of 3,000 heavy cavalry defeating 100,000 peasant soldiers, and they were chasing and hacking at others.
The fear of heavy cavalry is engraved in the bones of the soldiers, especially on such a flat ground.
If it is to defend the city, no matter how powerful the heavy cavalry is, it is difficult to play a role, but once the two armies are facing each other, it is different.
The heavy cavalry can quickly break through the infantry's square formation. Once the infantry's square formation is in chaos, the morale will plummet.
When two armies fight, morale is very important, especially in hand-to-hand combat. The brave will win when they meet on a narrow road.
Lin Xiuming stared at the 10,000 heavy cavalry in front of him in amazement. He is a general and can roughly estimate how many soldiers there are in a square formation.
Even though Li Feng didn't tell him how many people there were in this heavy cavalry, Lin Xiuming probably estimated in his heart that this heavy cavalry had at least 20,000 people.
If the heavy cavalry that just left were included, Beijun already had nearly 30,000 heavy cavalry!
This...
What does Beijun use to support these 30,000 heavy cavalry?
How much silver does this require?
Lin Xiuming also knew that the Beiwang Mansion was selling soaps and perfumes, and he also knew that these businesses were profitable, but no matter how much money they made, it was impossible to train such a large heavy cavalry so quickly, right?
The entire Daxia court only had 20,000 heavy cavalry!
As a result, Beijun alone had nearly 30,000 heavy cavalry!
Who would believe that Beiwang had no other thoughts?
I'm afraid that as soon as the news of Beijun reached the court, the court would station troops in Qiwang's fiefdom overnight to prevent Beiwang from going south, or take Beiwang's wives, concubines and children in Anping City to the capital as hostages for surveillance.
The heavy cavalry of the Northern King is much more intimidating than the 300,000 barbarian troops.
The 300,000 barbarians went south. At present, it seems that they will at most occupy the Northern County. Maybe they have reached some agreements with some noble families or princes in private. They will not directly attack the core territory of Daxia.
But if the tens of thousands of heavy cavalry of the Northern King go south, then his goal may not be a county, but the whole Daxia!
As the eighth prince, Zhou Yu felt cold sweat at this time. He felt that he had come to a dragon's den and a tiger's lair today.
He discovered the secret of the Northern King today. Could he not get out of the Northern County?
At this time, the soldier next to Lin Xiuming suddenly stammered: "General... General, you... you look over there! So... so many barbarian soldiers!"
Lin Xiuming quickly raised his head and looked into the distance.
At this time, they found that the barbarian soldiers with their hands tied were escorted by the soldiers of the Northern County to their side in groups.
Looking over, there was almost no end.
At this time, people once again remembered the results of the battle reported by the messenger in Yancheng.
Killed 200,000 barbarians...
Captured 100,000 barbarian soldiers...
This...
Could this be...
Really?
Oh my God!
What kind of results are these!
Beijun is going to be in chaos!
No, it should be said that the King of Bei is going to be in chaos!
Since the founding of Daxia, there has been no such results in foreign wars. They destroyed the State of Chen, and in the largest battle with Chen, the soldiers of Chen were only 200,000!
And the barbarians are not soldiers of Chen!
The fighting power of the barbarians is even more fierce!
In Daxia's war against the barbarians, the barbarians were basically the attacking party, and Daxia was only the defending party, and Daxia suffered heavy losses every time.
It's okay to suffer heavy losses. Every time the war ended and Daxia was about to counterattack, the barbarians took their troops and left, leaving no chance for Daxia's army to counterattack.
Now Beijun not only defeated the 300,000 barbarian troops, but also captured 100,000 barbarian soldiers!
Once this news is passed back to the court, I am afraid that the capital will change!
At this time, the 70,000 soldiers of the court dared not breathe, and they were all staring at the barbarian captives being escorted.
It took half an hour for the 100,000 barbarian captives to walk past them. Of course, this was mainly because the Beijun soldiers were afraid that they would cause trouble during the escort, so they separated them, so some time was wasted.
Looking at the soldiers in front of them who took half an hour to completely pass them, Lin Xiuming and the 70,000 soldiers of the court had already understood that the results of the battle they had heard in the city before were true!
As Daxia people, they should have been happy.
After all, this was the greatest victory ever achieved in the war against the barbarians.
But from the generals to the lieutenants, and then to the soldiers below, no one smiled.
Just when Lin Xiuming and the court soldiers were still in a daze, the sound of hurried horse hooves came again in the distance.
Seeing another row of black shadows approaching.
Lin Xiuming was numb.
Tens of thousands of heavy cavalry again! ! !
Where did Beijun get so many heavy cavalry!
What is the Northern King going to do!
Rebellion? ? ?
According to Lin Xiuming's rough estimate, Beijun has at least 50,000 heavy cavalry. These 50,000 heavy cavalry, plus the 100,000 slave soldiers captured by Beijun, and Beijun recruits some ordinary soldiers, then Beijun has the strength to attack any dynasty.
At present, the maximum number of soldiers that any dynasty can mobilize is about one million, but this one million is quite a lot of water.
The soldiers that can be used for combat will definitely not reach one million, and these soldiers in Beijun are real, especially these barbarian slave soldiers, who are simply perfect cannon fodder.
Only three words emerged in Lin Xiuming's mind at this time-write a memorial!
I have to write a memorial tonight!
The power of Beijun is too huge and there is a risk of getting out of control. The court must be informed of what happened in Beijun as soon as possible.
Of course, the results of Beijun's battle must also be known to the court.
So Lin Xiuming will take the opportunity to convey the results of the battle and use the red silk messenger to report what happened in Beijun to the court.
As for whether the King of Bei will let their red silk messenger return to the court, it is hard to say.
The King of the North had always pretended to be useless, but now he has become so famous that he has stopped pretending.
What does this mean?
It means that he has grown up and no longer needs to pretend. It is a piece of cake to intercept the red silk messenger from the court.
Lin Xiuming even suspected that the King of the North would take this opportunity to cooperate with the Chu family and then directly seek power and usurp the throne.
