After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 109 Chariots and Cavalry

Hearing this, Han Zhan was confused, with a puzzled expression on his face, and was about to ask a question.

Meng Di had already got on his horse and returned to the city.

Ji Ran leaned over to his side at this time, and said with a bit of admiration in his voice.

"It is said that people cannot stand without faith. All of today's deeds will definitely make the people in the city come to join the army enthusiastically. You just need to follow the master's orders."

Han Zhan still scratched his head in confusion. He didn't understand why the people in the city could come to join the army with just one reward?But even after Ji Ran said that, he didn't delve into the matter any further, and hurried back to make preparations.

There is no way around this. Information is underdeveloped these days. If ordinary people want to know the owner of their fiefdom, they can only try to figure it out through some trivial things.

Today's special public rewards have had a great impact on them. The most important thing is to see those rewards being honored. The so-called seeing is worth seeing, so these people began to have their own plans in their hearts.

Everyone hopes that their life will get better and better. Mengdi's battle has already shocked these people into heaven. Fighting with such a person, they have an inexplicable sense of peace in their hearts.

In fact, Meng Di also wanted to grant land this time, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. The main reason is that he is not strong enough now. If at this time, it is definitely not a good thing to challenge the default rules among scholar-bureaucrats.

As he expected, the next day, many people came to join the army with their own weapons, and directly surrounded Han Zhan and others. There were three layers in the crowd, but Han Zhan was so tired that he kept It was barely completed until sunset.

A total of more than a thousand soldiers were recruited, all of whom were young and strong. The only bad thing was that most of them could not ride horses, so their first task was to raise horses. on the companion.

Only by establishing a good relationship with the horse can you be handy in battle.

What's more important is that Mengdi also pays these people a monthly salary, which has never happened before, so these people felt a little conflicted at first, but after understanding the situation, they immediately had no opinion.

All the weapons they brought were confiscated, and the reply they got was that when they were able to gallop, they could get their own war horse, as well as weapons and armor.

The most important thing is that when these people raised horses, they did not carry out closed management. They could leave early as long as they finished the day's work. Therefore, the treatment in the army was passed on by word of mouth, so that the people in Mengyi quickly It is clear in the chest.

And the news spread faster and faster, not only in the territory of Lu State, but also the surrounding vassal states immediately got the news. Many people came to Mengyi to join the army because of their bravery, especially Qi State.

Because all the people in the Qi State have been awarded titles in these years, the whole world knows, so many people gathered in Qi State, but only a small number of people can get the title, most of them don't have that good luck at all, and they don't have that kind of strength .

In this way, in just half a year, Mengdi recruited more than ten thousand recruits, and eliminated many people in this way. For these people, Mengdi did not let them go.

Instead, let Jiran manage it properly. Those who are willing to stay can participate in raising horses and defending the city, as well as other kinds of work. Correspondingly, cloth, money, and food can be provided according to their requirements.

As a result, the population of Mengyi has also doubled. Fortunately, Mengdi had stored a large amount of grain before. At least it would not be a problem to feed these people for a year or so. Moreover, Gumi City also sent a steady stream of food from all over the world. kinds of supplies.

These materials landed from the state of Ju, and then directly arrived in the state of Lu. No one made any plans at first, but as time went by, the monarch of the state of Ju could not sit still.

The reason is very simple, that is jealousy, seeing so many things, sent to the country of Lu in a steady stream, he naturally felt like a cat scratching in his heart, so under his instruction, a large number of people appeared in the country of Ju of thieves.

The reason for doing this is also a little helpless, because these caravans are usually guarded by soldiers, and their armor is bright, and they are difficult to deal with at a glance, so they can only gather enough people to start.

What they didn't expect was that as soon as they appeared, the people in these caravans immediately dropped their supplies and fled in all directions. port.

Under such circumstances, Meng Di directly led [-] cavalry out of Feiyi to attack Zhongqiu on the grounds that Ju State attacked his caravan. Qiucheng.

Then Mengdi led his troops to directly attack Nanju, the capital of the state of Ju. Seeing that the situation was not good, he hurriedly mobilized [-] locomotives to meet the battle.

Setting up a battle a hundred miles outside the city of Nanju, Mengdi looked at the army of Ju, and his heart was very excited. This will be the first battle between the cavalry and the chariot soldiers. He will use this battle to make the princes of the world Let us take a look at the power of the cavalry.

After observing carefully for a while, Meng Di said to Han Zhan and Liu Xiatuo beside him.

"Although the chariot is sharp, it will go straight forward without any hesitation, but it is quite inconvenient to temporarily change the formation. So after the battle, we will press on the whole line. Han Zhan and Liu Xiatuo will each bring [-] cavalry."

"After hearing my order, Han Zhan, go around to the left, Liu Xiatuo, go around to the right, avoid the attack range of the chariot, and let me go straight to the Chinese army behind, and let their formation become chaotic."

"When the chariots in front of them turn around, you all turn back together. At that time, we will attack at the same time. In a short time, we will take down their front army. If their rear army is mobilized at this time, you should not fight."

"Then continue to cruise on both sides, pull their formation, and look for fighters."

After Han Zhan and Liu Xiatuo took the order, they answered the order together, went back to collect soldiers and horses, and waited for the order.

Following Mengdi's order, the tens of thousands of cavalry moved forward slowly. The five hundred chariots on the opposite side were divided into two parts, the front and the rear, and they wanted to use a momentum to directly attack the front of them. The cavalry dispersed.

But what they didn't expect was that there was a sudden burst of intensive drumming, and the cavalry in front of them suddenly divided into three, and the two cavalry teams surrounded them from left to right, crossed the chariots of the front team, and headed towards the rear to kill.
