The personal guard had said two or three harsh words to his master just now, and now his expression seemed to be hesitant to speak.

He smiled bitterly and kept his mouth shut, so as not to completely offend his petty master.

The Holy Mountain rebel army quickly passed through the Yunpiao Waterfalls and entered the upper reaches of the river valley.

As the possibility of contact with the Er tribe at any time increases, this army of tens of thousands of soldiers spreads out to the surrounding areas like the tentacles of an octopus, combing out the area within ten miles.

Clean.

In Arifu's words, after combing, I'm afraid there won't be a single mouse hidden.

In addition, part of the baggage that had been slowly being transported by the rear army sped up and caught up.

When these baggage arrived at the forest area where the army was resting, and the tarpaulin was lifted, many people discovered that this batch of baggage turned out to be large equipment for siege.

During this hour when the army was resting, the sky had completely darkened, but the wind in the valley was getting stronger and stronger, like ghosts crying and wolves howling, adding a lot of gloomy atmosphere.

At the same time, the batch of baggage has been assembled.

Those are three trebuchets that are almost higher than the tree crown.

This weapon for mid-range and long-range strikes can often deal a terrifying and heavy blow to the enemy in battles involving thousands of troops.

As long as the boulder on the huge net bag rolls for two or three weeks after landing, at least dozens of people will be killed or injured!

If there are dozens or hundreds of gravels in the net bag, once thrown out, a huge area can be cleared!

The resting place chosen by Dawuti was only a hundred or two hundred feet away from the Yutou Mine, and only three or four miles away from the exit of the valley.

This section of the road, all the way to the Er tribe, is a smooth road, which is very suitable for the march of the army and the transportation of equipment such as trebuchets.

After all, the Nilek River Valley once existed as a northern trade route for a long time. Even if no one has repaired or maintained it for some years, there is no problem for the Holy Mountain army to pass quickly at this time.

I heard from one of the guides from the Baishan Department that the forest where the army rested was originally a collection area for coal and firewood used exclusively by the Yutou Mine small workshop.

What's ridiculous is that this large forest now has more trees, is denser, and is larger and covers a wider area than before!

In fact, in the northwest area of ​​the river valley, there is an almost open-air coal mine. You only need to hire some people and spend some effort to dig it out and transport the fish head mine.

This shows that the so-called Nilek League is not concerned with production. It is entrenched in a geomantic treasure place like the Nilek Valley, but it only wants to rob and extort with the swords and guns in its hands.

"Of course, if the Nilek League carries out large-scale development and construction here, the royal families of the Holy Mountain tribes may have trouble sleeping." Dawuti held the water bag and took a big gulp of water before continuing.

"Once they take root in the Nilek Valley, they will transform from wolves to housekeeping dogs!"

"You want a housekeeper dog? Our Holy Mountain already has the entire Mobei, there is no need to add another Nilek Valley."

"Experienced hunters know that hounds and falcons should not be overfed. Only when they are hungry will they become bloody and aggressive."

Having said this, Dawuti looked around at the generals, and under the expectant eyes of the people, he continued: "After capturing Erbu, do not seal the sword and let the warriors be happy for a day and a night!"

ha!

good!

The leader is wise!

All the generals suddenly beamed with joy, and some even patted their chests and promised to resolve the battle and level the Er Basin within an hour!

Even though it would take more than an hour to walk from the entrance to the commercial road to the other end of the basin, in this joyful atmosphere, who would be able to point it out?

"Fighting at night is beneficial to our army." Dawuti added: "How do these rustics in Mobei know how to mobilize the army through light signals? Besides, Arifu, tell me what advantages our army has in fighting at night.

"

Arifu was suddenly named by the commander, but he was not afraid of the stage. He pointed at the map and talked eloquently: "If you fight at night, especially in the terrain dominated by sand dunes outside the river valley, it can also greatly weaken the enemy."

The opponent’s advantage in cavalry.”

"In addition, camels and horses are not nocturnal animals, and no one will specially train these animals how to fight at night."

"Also, the enemy's infantry on horseback are not well trained. They will be more panicked during night battles than during the day. They don't even need us to fight, they can disorder themselves first."

"Here, Arifu wishes the commander-in-chief a great victory!"

Dawuti nodded in approval, took over the conversation, and continued: "Just now, we received the latest information."

"The men of the Serimu tribe finally couldn't hold back and sent out a team of ten thousand people. They will appear on our flanks in about two hours, north of the east port of the river valley."

"Therefore, our battle against the Erbei must be fought quickly. Little Sabir is a coward. It happens to be a night battle before he has a clear understanding of the situation. It is impossible for him to directly send troops to join the battle."

"Of course, just in case, we still have to leave a team of ten thousand people to keep an eye on Selimube's troops."

"Finally, let me emphasize one more point..."

Seeing that everything had basically been discussed, Dawuti looked around at the generals and said with a stern face: "Who dares to burn, kill, loot, enrich their own pockets, and show no military discipline before this battle is over..."

"

"I recognize you, but my sword doesn't recognize you!"

Here!

All the generals suddenly accepted the order.

However, just as the Holy Mountain army was about to go to battle, a sentry came over quickly and reported loudly: "Report! The Erge troops are going to battle!"

What?!

Are you kidding me?!

How is that possible? Going to war?

That is, they no longer want their home base in the Er Basin?!

All the generals were in an uproar.

The patrolman ignored the others and spoke the second half of his words: "We have arrived at the entrance to the east end of the valley. We estimate the strength of the troops to be around 30,000."

As soon as this sentence was thrown out, all the generals stopped talking.

Everyone looked at each other with similar expressions on their faces: shock, disbelief, and sluggishness.

Arifu rolled his eyes and broke the slightly embarrassing situation. He smiled and said: "Erbu is really trying to sell iron. There are 30,000 people, and among them, there are probably less than 10,000 young men who can really fight, right?"

"Even if he drags all Er into the river valley, can he still win?!"

Although Dawut did not speak, he had been silently watching the reactions of the generals at this time.

It wasn't until Arifu opened his mouth that his face looked better.

However, You Shao's words were interrupted again and again, so he ignored them and said at the top of his voice: "Your Majesty, it's thirty thousand riders!"

This time, not only Alifu's face changed drastically, but even Dawuti's old face froze.

Just when the generals of the Holy Army were talking on paper and extremely optimistic about the war situation, Erbu suddenly staged such a reversal of the plot?!

"Thirty thousand horses?! Impossible!" One of the ten thousand leaders shook his head directly and said: "It is only possible to reach this number by concentrating all the horses and camels from the North Commercial Road in Mobei in Erbu!"

The more grumpy general pointed directly at the nose of the sentinel and cursed: "Didn't you always say that the Erbei only has 10,000 riders? Could it be that the extra 20,000 riders jumped out of the stone?"

The other generals turned to look at Dawut.

Now that the other party has taken the initiative to call in an incredible way, a decision must be made as soon as possible.

Is there any mystery behind the chaos on Beishang Road?

Otherwise, the E'er tribe will come sooner or later. When the army of the Holy Mountain Rebellion North Road begins to rest and reorganize, the thousands of troops of the Er tribe will be killed right now?

That’s thirty thousand riders!

Dawuti looked down at the map, frowned, and began to think about the parts he had ignored.

"Forests!" Dawuti quickly came up with a rather chilling inference. He raised his head and looked at the generals, and said solemnly: "The war horses and camels are hidden in the woods of Erbei.

You can’t see it at all.”

"You can't even see a falcon at high altitude."

Arifu had a gloomy face and whispered: "Why would I think that this might be a trap? There should be no one in Mobei who can lay such a big game, right?!"

"We have always underestimated the Mobei people before!"

Dawuti recruited a few personal guards and ordered two thousand-man commanders to lead their troops back to the Yunpiao Waterfalls and guard their retreat.

Dawuti continued to order two thousand-man commanders and asked them to immediately send people to patrol the highlands on both sides to prevent anyone from rolling rocks from high places to attack the flanks of the army.

After methodically arranging some countermeasures, Dawuti looked around at the generals again and said: "Since the opponent is coming, let's fight!"

"Don't you think that we have traveled thousands of miles and crossed mountains and ridges this time, and we came to Mobei just to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Nilek River Valley, right?"

Here!

At this time, all the generals bowed again and returned to the troops under their command, preparing to engage in battle.

The Holy Mountain rebel army of 60,000 people started from the Baishan tribe and divided into one point to the east and one point to the west.

By this time, the army had reached less than 50,000 people.

The advantage of 50,000 people against 30,000 cavalry seems not to be as great as everyone imagined.

At this time, no one was investigating how Thirty Thousand Cavalry was transformed.

If you have any questions, let’s talk about it after this battle is over!

Alifu fell behind and muttered: "However, I am a little curious, since there are falcons. How did these Mobei people hide from the eyes of the sky and complete such a large-scale troop deployment?"

"This is not a transfer of one or two hundred, one or two thousand, but ten or twenty thousand people!"

The only bodyguard who dared to remonstrate with Arifu before smiled impeccably and said: "Didn't the commander say that? Don't think about those who have some and don't have them, then just fight!"

"Our Holy Mountain royal family has no habit of surrendering without a fight! I hope everything goes well this time and Mobei surrenders again."

"Otherwise, the next time we come, it won't be those of us who advocate recruiting Mobei."

call out!

The high-pitched chime shot out into the sky with a sharp sound, adding a bit of eerieness to the flickering night.

Warnings were heard one after another from the highlands on both sides of the river valley, and the torches were extinguished almost indiscriminately, almost hiding the outlines of the highlands on both sides into darkness.
Chapter completed!
