C20 Beginning Victory

"Oh, so there's actually such a benefit. If it's ugly, then so be it." He nodded.

Chen Yu's idea was very simple. To match their future soldiers with iron armor, just like the Cao Cao in history, they couldn't wear weak copper armor for the sake of beauty like Yuan Shao. If they did that, then it would be a joke to them, and Chen Yu would certainly not make this mistake.

The sky gradually brightened up. This was a dark green prairie. In the wilderness, weeds were blooming. In an era where there was no air pollution, the air was exceptionally beautiful.

At the far end of the wilderness, there was a line of ox-carts moving forward nonstop. There were a total of ten of them, each carrying bags of food. Clearly, this was a caravan delivering food.

Within the forest, a pair of gloomy eyes stared at the food cart. After which, over a hundred bandits with different weapons emerged from the forest.

"Big brother, another deal has come. Are we going to do it or not?" A triangular eye holding a spear asked.

"Fuck, good business is here, of course we have to rob! Old rules, if the food is taken away then everyone will be killed!" A bald man with a large blade said.

"Understood. Brothers, kill him!" With a loud roar, the baldy led his underlings out of the forest and into the distance, where a convoy of rations was waiting for them.

At this moment, the food convoy had already seen the bandits. They immediately turned around and ran towards the east, with more than a hundred of them in hot pursuit.

After chasing for about four to five miles, the logistics team in front of them stopped. The people in the vehicles had all run away, leaving behind only ten food carts in the middle of the wilderness.

"Hahaha, a bunch of cowards! This time, you guys got lucky! " The bald man let out a proud laugh and said, "Brothers, take the food back to the village."

Over a hundred bandits were ready to return with an oxcart.

"Buzz buzz …" There was a rumble of hooves.

"Big Brother, look. What's that?" The triangular eye pointed towards the distant wilderness, and a black line appeared in the middle of the wilderness. The black line continuously moved forward, getting closer and closer, thicker and bigger and bigger. Finally, he could see clearly that on the ground, dozens of cavalrymen were riding and whipping their horses.

Sweat dripped down from the baldy's forehead. Although he was reckless, he was not stupid. Naturally, he knew that in the wilderness, if the infantry encountered a cavalry soldier, only death awaited them. Was it the army? Even the ordinary soldiers of the county did not have such power and influence. Just who were they? No matter what, he had to evacuate as soon as possible. Those ten carts of food could be sold for a good price, and he couldn't afford to lose it no matter what.

"Hurry, retreat!" The bald man shouted. At this point, the baldy still couldn't bear to part with those ten carts of food. This had also cut off his and the other bandits' last chance of survival.

"Kill!"

Chen Yu raised his sword high, shouting towards the sky.

"Kill!" Dian Wei held his halberd, his eyes shining with a bloodthirsty light.

"Kill!" Xu Qing held his long spear, his face full of excitement. At this time, he and Dian Wei couldn't help but admire Chen Yu from the bottom of their hearts. If it weren't for the 10 carts of food, these bandits would have already run away.

"Big brother, we can't escape anymore. Let's go all out." Pointy Eyes said.

"F * ck, brothers, fight it out with them!" Baldy turned his head and roared. Holding his broadsword, he led the hundred over bandits to charge forward like an ant.

The sound of hooves resounded and shouts resounded. Fifty knights had a cold expression on their faces, the sabres in their hands flashing in the air.

"Formation!" Xu Qing shouted, and the Knights slowed down their charge, continuously gathering together to form the shape of a pheasant arrow, and the tip of the arrow was precisely that of Xu Qing and Dian Wei. Chen Yu was tightly wrapped in the middle of the pheasant formation.

"What are you doing?" Chen Yu shouted.

"The shape of the pheasant is advantageous for charging. A single breakthrough will lead to a complete breakthrough. Moreover, compared to the person in the middle of the arrow, it is very safe. We must protect our lord's safety." Xu Qing shouted.

Chen Yu wanted to say something, but in the end she did not. He knew, Xu Qing was here to protect him, from a subordinate's point of view, to protect his superior, Xu Qing had done the same thing. If it was him, he would do the same thing, and that was it.

"Kill!"

The cavalry of fifty was like an iron hammer as they instantly charged into the bandits' formation, urging them to move forward!

"Bam!" The frontmost bandit was sent flying by the huge impact from the horse, turning into a bloody mess.

"Kill!" The horse did not slow down at all. The iron halberd then pierced through the second bandit's chest, and only after the iron halberd passed through the third bandit's chest did the speed of the horse slightly slow down.

Dian Wei swung his iron halberd and threw the three corpses away. His gaze was locked onto the bald man under the big subordinate.

"Kill!" "Kill!" Dian Wei roared. He urged his horse to charge towards the bald man, bringing his fifty iron cavalry with him. The bald man was quite a character, he bit down with his steel teeth, and instead of retreating, he swung his blade towards Dian Wei's warhorse.

"Clang!" Dian Wei's halberd knocked the bald man's large blade into the air, and then the iron halberd came crashing down.

"Pu!"

The bald man's bare head was smashed into his neck.

Behind Dian Wei, 50 sharp sabers were raised high in the air, slashing in all directions, every time they struck, a life would be taken away.

Fifty war horses charged past the bandits' last line of defense in the shortest time possible. At this moment, over a hundred bandits were left with less than fifty people. With just one round of attacks, more than half of them had fallen.

"Disperse into a linear formation, kill!" Xu Qinggao shouted.

The 50 cavalry soldiers immediately dispersed and lined up in a line. Then, they once again charged towards the remaining bandits from behind.

When the fiery sun was high up in the sky, everything was over. Over a hundred bandits, only twenty of them had surrendered and were being held together. The rest were all beheaded.

"My lord, how should we deal with these captives?" Conway asked.

"The secrets of the Chen family's cavalry cannot be leaked out. As for these people …" Chen Yu thought about it for a moment. With a trace of coldness in her eyes, she coldly said, "Leave no one alive!"

"Not a single one?"

"Yes, all of the Chen family's cavalry are armored, this is against the rules, do you want the government to know about this?"

"Yes, I understand." Dian Wei nodded his head, and gave Xu Qing a look. Xu Qing sighed, and with a wave of his hand, over twenty sabers cut down simultaneously, blood spewing out, over twenty heads falling down.

After finishing all this, the twenty or so knights began to puke incessantly.

Chen Yu silently looked at this scene. He didn't blame these knights. This was their first time on the battlefield, and their performance was already extremely valuable. In the future, they would naturally be able to kill a lot of people.

Half an hour later …

"My lord, the thirteen bandits guarding the mountain stronghold have all been killed. They originally surrendered, but I think my lord wants none of them to be left, so we killed them all."

"Have you found the food?"

"They've already found them. Not only have they found our grain, they've also found a large amount of gold and silver, as well as all kinds of treasures. These bandits are truly wealthy. I've counted them. These items are worth a total of two thousand gold." Dian Wei said excitedly.

"Not only that, there are also more than ten horses in the village. I have seen them before, they can be used as war horses. My lord's cavalry can now be expanded." Xu Qing also said happily.

"Yes, this is a peaceful time. There are many merchants, so bandits are naturally rich." Chen Yu nodded her head and said, "Tell our brothers to dig a big hole and bury the corpses of the bandits. In addition, the Chen family servants who are escorting them are to pay 10 taels of silver each to keep their mouths shut, whoever wants to tell us about the Chen family's cavalry, I will cut their heads off!"

"My lord, should we …" Conway made a beheading gesture.

"These are the Chen family's servants, they know what to do."

"Understood."

"Yes, let them take the carriage back and load all the money into the carriage as well. They can take it to my new house in Xu Chang. As for this mountain stronghold, I'll keep it for myself."
