The 30,000 cavalry led by Kedorla were not separated from the army of Xibu Gaza. In order to confuse the sight of Hetao, Xibu Gaza's 20,000 camel soldiers were transferred from the army.
However, Kedorah himself was directly recruited from the country of Sashan. However, Kedorah's luck was obviously bad. Although he avoided the eyes of the Hetao army, he unfortunately fell into the eyes of Wu Xiaolangjun.
Kedorah led the cavalry all the way in stealth. In order to hide his whereabouts, Kedorah did not even dare to send scouts too far. Sibu Jiasha reminded him of one point in the order given to him, that is, Bian Zhong was a cautious person.
Therefore, we must be careful along the way and not make any mistakes. Because the stakes are so important, Sibu Jiasha specifically asked his nephew to lead the cavalry to shoulder such an important task. And Kedorah also followed Sibu Jiasha's intention, but
Sibu Gaza's caution caused Kedorah and his 30,000 cavalry to be buried in the sea of death.
When Kedora's cavalry had just arrived 150 miles away from the Hotan Oasis, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared in the desert. No one thought that the Hetao cavalry could sneak up to this place silently.
place, and ambushed Sashan's army. Although Kedorah was also a rookie in Sashan's army, the 30,000 cavalry were indeed well-trained elites. However, something happened suddenly, and the Hetao cavalry was targeting them.
The five hundred horses carrying water bags at the back were naturally caught off guard. Wu Xiaolangjun used four thousand cavalry to block the rear formation of Sa Shan's cavalry, while a thousand cavalry quickly attacked the five hundred horses.
Before the war horses and Sashan cavalry could recover, the water bags carried by the five hundred war horses had been completely destroyed by the swords and arrows of a thousand cavalrymen. However, Sashan had the advantage in strength after all, even though the Hetao cavalry made a sneak attack.
, but under the command of Kedola, the Sashan cavalry immediately completed the outflanking of the Hetao cavalry. However, the Hetao army was obviously inexperienced. After taking advantage, they didn't know how to stop when they saw the opportunity. Kedola counterattacked.
Outflanked, and finally escaped at the cost of hundreds of men and all the horses carrying skins and water bags.
Could it be that his whereabouts had been discovered? After driving away the Hetao cavalry, Kedora thought carefully. But this should not be possible. If Bian Zhongxing really knew his whereabouts, then it was impossible to just ambush him like this.
A little cavalry. So, this should be a partial division specially sent by Bian Zhongxing as a precaution? It is possible. Kedola nodded secretly, but fortunately, he reacted quickly, although his opponent destroyed his
Water bladders, but all the other party's reserve water bladders were intercepted by me. In this vast desert, without enough water bladders and water, not only would it be impossible to fight and march, but even survival would be a problem. But Kedora
What he is worried about now is not the problem of these thousands of cavalry, but whether his whereabouts will be affected if his whereabouts are exposed, which will affect the commander's action plan.
Thinking of this, Kedola ordered his subordinates to collect all the water bags of the Hetao soldiers, sorted them out and hurried on the road. However, the Hetao cavalry did not flee far after escaping. Instead, they were constantly harassed and blocked along the way to slow them down.
The marching speed of the Sashan Cavalry. This strengthened Kedola's judgment that they were a partial division sent by Bian Zhongxing to contain him. The tighter the opponent's entanglement, the more critical the situation on the given battlefield is.
.Kedola, Qida Mengdu, Hebijiali, Hobimu, Shandu, Nanahada and Dida are the new generation of military rookies in Sashan. They were all educated by Xibu Jiasha in the military.
, but the rest of the knowledge was taught by the national master Lengye himself, so the relationship between the several people was very good. Since there was danger in Qidamengdu, Thakedola would not neglect it.
It’s just that although the number of Hetao cavalry is not large, their combat effectiveness and toughness are very good. Although there are only five thousand cavalry, they are like a fly that cannot be swatted to death, lingering on you, but chasing you again and again.
Don’t leave. And the opponent’s generals do have some skills. Each time, they divide their troops into five groups and attack from different directions. The five generals are obviously a bit immature in age, and their tactics are also a bit sluggish, so they were very uncomfortable at the beginning.
These small losses, added up, resulted in the loss of more than a thousand people. However, these few people learned quickly. By the time the Hetao cavalry attacked for the fifth time, they were already much smarter. First, the cavalry all the way suddenly came from
Both sides of the team attracted the attention of the Sashan cavalry, and then four lines of cavalry suddenly rushed out from the other directions. First there was a round of arrow rain, and when they got closer, there was a burst of hacking. Fortunately, the Hetao cavalry did not seem to understand the injury.
Ten fingers are not as good as cutting off one. Although not many soldiers were actually killed in each battle, many were injured, especially those injured by arrows. Adding up to nearly 10,000 people.
Kedorla was worried about the battle ahead, and the frequent attacks by Wu Xiaolangjun's cavalry gave him no time to stop and rest. Therefore, in half a day, Kedoula's 30,000 cavalry actually advanced less than forty miles.
At this time, Kedorah finally realized that something was wrong.
"What? All the soldiers who were injured by the arrows are itching and have a tendency to be poisoned?" Kedorah said with a surprised look on his face after hearing the report from his men.
"That's right. In addition to these soldiers, there are also many soldiers who have uncontrollable abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea, and in severe cases, they have even fainted." Lieutenant General Basula said honestly.
Kedola's face darkened: "Have you found out what the cause is? Theoretically, it is impossible for injured soldiers to have this situation. The only possibility is that their bows and arrows are poisonous. But what happened to the other soldiers?
What happened? They must have been poisoned too, but how were they poisoned?"
"It should be the water we grabbed from the Hetao Cavalry." Basula said boldly.
Kedola's eyes suddenly bulged, and his face suddenly became gloomy. He gritted his teeth and said, "What a scheming idea and a good method! I asked the general why they were intercepted by us so easily."
Come down, it turns out like this!" He had been in a fighting state just now, so Kedorah didn't have much time to think about the problem. Now that he calmed down, Kedorah discovered many unusual things here.
When the Hetao cavalry attacked, why did they only destroy their own water bags and leave the spare water bags in the Hetao? Why did the Hetao cavalry bite them and not let go? Did they really want to slow them down? Why did they shoot in large areas?
Not many people actually die after injuring themselves?
Now it seems that this is just a series of tricks by the other party. They must have put poison in their water sacs. They destroyed their own water sacs and left theirs. They put the poison into their mouths. And
By pestering yourself, you can not only confuse your vision, but also speed up the consumption of drinking water. In this way, you will have to use the water in their water bags. And shooting yourself in a large area is even more vicious. This is both
It can expand the poisoning area, and the injured and poisoned soldiers will also delay the mobility of the Sashan Cavalry.
"How many soldiers are there who are still capable of fighting?" Kedorah had vaguely realized that his mission had failed, but he still asked with luck.
"Less than twelve thousand." Basula answered honestly.
"These Chinese people are so despicable!" Corrado said through gritted teeth, "What kind of poison are the soldiers poisoned with?"
"It should be scorpions and poisonous snakes in the desert. I really don't know how they found these poisons in the desert. However, the poisons they could find were also limited, so although these soldiers were poisoned, they were far less potent than those poisoned by poisons.
Scorpions bite them directly. Therefore, you only need to wash your stomach with water and rest for three to five days, and you will be fine." Basula opened his mouth and said.
"Clean the stomach with water? Rest for three to five days? Do you think this is in the city of Thebes?" Kedorah said angrily: "In this way, gather the 13,000 soldiers who are still intact and immediately go to the designated location. Even if
Even if the whole army is wiped out, we still have to complete the task assigned by the Western Commander. I, the general, will lead the remaining three thousand soldiers to watch here. The Hetao cavalry is alone outside and does not have sufficient logistics supplies. I think they will not be able to stay long."
Basula hesitated for a while: "In this case, the situation here will definitely be particularly dangerous."
"It's okay." Kedorla waved his hand: "The mission assigned by the commander is important. If we can't arrive at the location on time, then we won't be able to complete the mission with the 20,000 camel soldiers in Qidamengdu."
"Yes." Basula did not refuse. He also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he gave a military salute and prepared to leave.
"God Sani will bless his loyal followers." Kedorah patted his shoulder and said.
But Basura ultimately disappointed Kedorah. As soon as he led 10,000 cavalry out of Kedorah's sight, he fell into the endless fight between the five young men. Although the tricks of the Hetao cavalry were somewhat old-fashioned.
, but this was a disaster for the Sashan Cavalry, which was responsible for the important task. After half a day of training, Wu Xiaolangjun, who already had high military talent, began to continuously improve in actual combat.
Combined with the military knowledge learned at the military academy, I gradually became more comfortable using cavalry. And due to this half-day victory, the cavalry below also became quite obedient to Wu Xiaolangjun's command. In addition, they have been in the desert since childhood.
Dou Guangye, who grew up in the middle school, has a deep understanding of the desert, and Chu Yueying, who has a keen sense of direction and distance. Before Sa Shan's 10,000 cavalry could run ten miles, more than 2,000 soldiers were injured. In order to take care of them,
Basura had to leave hundreds of soldiers to take care of these injured soldiers. As a result, after three hours, there were only less than 3,000 cavalry left by Basura. In the end, Basura did not dare to move forward anymore, and
He slowly retreated along the original road, picking up the injured and remaining soldiers along the way. When it got dark, Basura finally met Kedorah. But now there are less than 7,000 Sashan cavalry intact.
, and the number of wounded soldiers was as high as 20,000.
Seeing such a situation, Kedorla himself felt like crying. Now his army was basically disabled, and now the war on the Qidamengdu side was probably over. And now, he had to do something
That's how to bring your team back.
"General, what should we do now?" Basula said with a frustrated look.
"Rest on the spot and wait for dawn." Kedola frowned and said: "The Hetao cavalry will not carry too much supplies, and they will not be able to hold on for long. You should be on guard tonight and don't let the other side take advantage of the loophole."
"But we are almost out of water." Balasuda said, shrugging his head.
"Don't move around tonight. Let the warriors be patient. After dawn tomorrow morning, we can return to Thebes leisurely." Kedorah also said with a helpless face: "This general has already flown to Xi Shuai.
The letter sent by the pigeon explains the current situation. I think the reinforcements from the Western Commander will arrive tomorrow. As long as we can survive tonight, we can return to Thebes safely."
Sashan is stepping up their defenses, while on the Hetao cavalry side, except for Wu Xiaolangjun, who is still discussing the next day's action plan, some soldiers are executing secret plans, and most of the other soldiers have fallen asleep. This is because
Guan Zhichun's suggestion, Guan Zhichun believed that since the Sashan Cavalry thought that the Hetao Cavalry would launch a sneak attack tonight, he should simply go to bed with peace of mind and let them be nervous.
Basula guessed right, the bows and arrows in the Hetao and the water bags were indeed filled with poison. Dou Guangye was originally a child who grew up in the desert. Because he had been with these poisonous insects and scorpions in the desert for a long time, their people
He also developed the ability to tame snakes and scorpions. Dou Guangye summoned a large group of snakes, scorpions and scorpions through his own ability, and then carefully dripped the venom into the water bag. However, the toxicity was limited after all.
, but it can still be done by delaying Kedorah for a while.
Compared with the calm situation on the side of the Hetao army, the situation on the Sashan side is turbulent. The Hetao soldiers believe in nothing but themselves. Especially the gods and Buddhas in the sky and the evil gods of various religions. The Hetao soldiers do not take these things seriously at all.
.So when the soldiers below heard that Guan Zhichun asked them to dress up as ghosts and gods to scare the soldiers of Sashan, they all rolled their eyes. However, the military orders were like a mountain. When Tang Jian took out the military orders, no one dared to hum.
Not a word.
Although this trick is old-fashioned, it is particularly useful for the soldiers of Sashan. Around the station of Sashan's army, dozens of Hetao soldiers dressed up as various mountain spirits and ghosts, taking advantage of the desolate and empty terrain in the desert to act like gods and ghosts.
Sa Shan's army was already nervous, and when frightened by the movements of this mountain spirit, Sa Shan's army was even more frightened. They sent troops to pursue them, but they could not find these Hetao soldiers who had been prepared in the vast desert.
Soldier Shan could no longer sleep. When it was almost dawn, Cavalry Shan Shan still looked exhausted and haggard.
And just at dawn, when the Sashan cavalry was congratulating themselves that their nightmare was over, the five thousand Hetao cavalry, led by Wu Xiaolangjun, who had recharged their batteries, charged with murderous intent under the first ray of sunshine in the morning.
