"I look down on you!"
Yan Mei was really angry!
Now, he suddenly understood why Xu Laosan had such a low opinion of the current Tornado Rider.
Tornado Riding is really not working anymore!
Many of the captains of the Tornado Cavalry lowered their heads after being scolded mercilessly by Yan Mei.
They actually understand in their hearts that in this battle, underestimating the enemy is only one aspect.
The other side is just that Savage is really strong.
Even if his arms and legs are broken, a hole is opened in his stomach, and his intestines are leaking out, as long as he is not dead, the savage attacks will continue.
But they, known as the most elite cyclone riders in the Tang Dynasty, were frightened by the madness of the barbarians.
Not only the soldiers below, but also some of them were timid.
To put it bluntly, if the number of savages were more, just three to five hundred, then this battle would end in their disastrous defeat.
"Keep your head up!"
Yan Mei looked at the whirlwind cavalry captains who lowered their heads and couldn't help but let out another roar.
"Are you scared?"
"If you're afraid, just go back in despair, go back to farming, and be a coward for the rest of your life!"
"They both carry one head on their shoulders. What are you worse than them?"
"Isn't it just desperate?"
"You should have known from the moment you came to the battlefield!"
"You should understand!"
"On the battlefield, those who are afraid of death will die faster!"
"If you don't want to die, then kill your enemies!"
"Now, I will give you a choice, whether to be a coward or to prove yourself like a man!"
"Now, go away and leave this choice to your soldiers!"
"A bunch of cowards, eggless things!"
"roll-"
Yan Mei was so angry that he did not leave even a little face to these people.
Eight thousand cyclone riders encountered more than a hundred savages, and their number was reduced by a thousand.
With a battle loss of one to ten, Yan Mei wanted to say, you are not soldiers, you are a bunch of pigs.
But he didn't say it after all.
But after this battle, Yan Mei also understood how terrifying the savages were. These guys are truly beasts. Not expensive, and the beasts are not as good as them.
If wild beasts encounter an enemy dozens of times their size, they will rarely fight to the death without escaping.
But these savages not only had no intention of escaping, but instead showed the heroic spirit of fighting to the end from the beginning.
If such enemies cannot be kept outside the territory of the Tang Dynasty, once they enter the land of the Tang Dynasty, the place they pass will definitely be a hell on earth.
Yan Mei didn't care how those captains talked to the people below, he didn't care.
He just brought his own bodyguards to collect the bodies of the Yan family's bodyguards who died in this battle.
Savages feed on humans, even if they are of the same race, they are also their food.
Therefore, the body cannot be left behind.
Even if it is buried underground, it may be dug up.
Here, there is no firewood to cremate the body, so the body can only be sent back.
In fact, although Yan Mei asked the captains questions, he had no intention of taking them to continue traveling in Longxi Mansion.
The ferocity of the savages has been experienced personally by the Tornado Rider.
Then, the next step is to train and drill!
As long as you can't practice to death, practice to death.
Yan Mei and Xu Laoer have a lot in common on this point.
This time, a different voice appeared on the Tornado Rider.
Previously on the trench battlefield, the Eight Thousand Tornado Riders chose to use their military exploits to wash away their shame after being angrily criticized by Xu Laosan.
But after fighting against the savages, they realized that they might die if they continued to fight against the savages. Most of the remaining Cyclone Riders lost the courage to go to the battlefield again.
As for the captains of the Tornado Cavalry, they all stayed.
They are all old men of the Tornado Riders, and they have been proud of it from the moment they entered the Tornado Riders. But later, the Whirlwind Riders, led by Leng Ci, turned their backs on King Yan, and they became traitors.
Although they were only obeying the orders of the court, they knew in their hearts that they were betrayers.
They long to wash away their shame and take off the label of betrayer.
"Let's go back!"
Looking at the two distinct groups of people, Yan Mei didn't say anything big. He just asked everyone to get on their horses and return to Xiangyi Mansion.
When he came, his momentum was like a rainbow.
When I returned home, I was dejected.
Military morale and morale were at an unprecedented low after this battle.
Yan Mei saw everything, but remained silent, not wanting to change anything.
In fact, Yan Mei was still a little happy about the current low morale.
At least these people still have a conscience.
However, there were some people in the team who were secretly happy. These were people who had already made up their minds to disband and return home. For them, as long as they returned to Xiangyi Prefecture, although it would be embarrassing, at least they could survive and save their lives.
Seven thousand people turned around with the corpses.
It was only three days from the time they left Xiangyi Prefecture to the time they returned, but these three days allowed these people to experience a journey from heaven to hell.
"Uncle, what are you...?"
When Xu Laosan saw Yan Mei return and the dejected soldiers, he knew that Yan Mei must have been hit during this trip.
He didn't care what became of the Tornado Rider, but if something went wrong with Yan Mei, he would feel uneasy.
"I met more than a hundred savages, and I won, but I also lost!"
"You also saw that out of eight thousand people, only more than seven thousand came back."
"At that time, two hundred and seventy-eight people were killed directly in the battle, and nearly a thousand were injured."
"On the way back, more than two hundred people were seriously injured and died!"
"My dear nephew, this savage is indeed stronger than the Northern Barbarians. If you want to fight a savage, close combat is not a wise choice!"
Cavalry has an inherent advantage over infantry.
However, the eight thousand cavalry had superior arms, superior numbers, superior weapons and armor, and initially superior morale.
But when the battle ended, their side suffered heavy losses.
Although the enemy was completely wiped out, eight thousand people defeated a hundred people. Such a victory has no reason to show off.
However, after this battle, Yan Mei immediately grasped the trick of fighting the savages.
"Uncle, you are absolutely right!"
Xu Laosan chuckled and said, "This is the fundamental reason why my nephew built the trench."
At this time, Xu Laosan would not admit that he was opportunistic and built this trench because it was inconvenient to build the city wall.
"However, this trench seems to be a bit narrow, and some savages can jump over it!"
Xu Laosan was considering whether to widen the trench.
However, we don’t know when the savages will come to kill us, so this plan can only be shelved for the time being.
Yan Mei smiled slightly and said: "The trench is not wide enough, and there is no need to widen it. Just make some other arrangements behind it!" (End of Chapter)
