Dai Qisi raised her hand and looked around. That place was the eastern section where they were building the barrier. If the enemy occupied it, the consequences would be disastrous.
Just as he was about to speak, Bai Hua beside him had already walked off the watchtower.
"It's been a long time since I've fought. It's just a good time to stretch my muscles. I'll leave these 20,000 people to me."
Dai Qisi didn't say anything more. She took out the telescope given to him by Zhao Rui and checked the enemy's movements.
The mountains and forests to the east are extremely dense and connected to the canyon. If you want to make the built barrier flawless, this is the top priority.
Moreover, there are many towering trees in the mountains and forests here, which can be used as materials for building barriers.
However, the construction of the fortress has just begun and the merchant army has not yet focused its attention on this side. There are only three thousand people stationed here.
Pisihanu originally just wanted to lead a tentative attack with his men, but the sudden change in the movement of the merchant army made him confused. Not knowing what the other party was going to do, he led an army of 20,000 people to approach the east canyon.
It is planned to build a camp here to serve as a vanguard in fighting the merchant army.
But as soon as he arrived here, he was violently blocked by the merchant army, leaving him confused for a while.
This place is far away from the water stronghold of the merchant army, and the terrain is extremely steep. It is not suitable for garrisoning at all. How could the merchant army deploy a team of several thousand people here?
Pisihanu didn't think much about it. No matter in terms of numbers or equipment, the men and horses he had were much stronger than the merchant army. He only needed to charge to kill all the merchant army in front of him.
This was a free gift, and there was no reason for him not to want it.
Now that Ruathur died in battle, there is a vacancy for the general of the country. A general of the Maurya Dynasty is trying his best to climb to this position. As long as he can succeed in the first battle, then he may become the general of the country.
After simply setting up the military formation, he led five thousand troops to launch the first charge.
At this moment, Bai Hua happened to come to the merchant army. Although the opponent was menacing, he was extremely calm and immediately dispatched 500 people out of 3,000 people to charge to meet the enemy!
The remaining people were divided into two parts by him, and they quickly moved to both sides and entered the woods next to them.
It didn't take long for the two sides to collide. It was just 500 people versus 5,000 people. There was indeed a huge disparity in strength. However, under the leadership of Bai Hua, these people broke out with unprecedented combat power, causing the battlefield to fall into a stalemate.
.
Pisihanu didn't expect that the merchant army's combat power was so strong. Just when he was about to mobilize the next five thousand people, there was a sudden roar and rustling in the woods on both sides, and a large number of merchant troops rushed out.
Scattered his troops.
The five hundred people who had been resisting desperately just now broke out with extremely strong fighting power, and Bai Hua took the lead and rushed in front of Pishanu.
The sudden change caught Pisihanu off guard. He did not expect that there was an ambush in the woods nearby.
Quickly adjusting his mood, he mobilized his troops and generals to escape the ambush.
However, his five thousand men and horses seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, unable to move at all. Just when he was about to rush out alone and mobilize the remaining five thousand men and horses to launch an attack, Bai Hua's long sword had already arrived.
Pisihanu quickly raised the spear in his hand to block the attack. The two of them fought more than ten times among the insurgents, but there was no winner.
Bai Hua couldn't help but widen his eyes. He didn't expect that there was such a person in the Maurya Dynasty.
He said that the other party was ambushed by him, but he remained calm in the face of danger and could react calmly. This alone made Bai Hua admire him.
However, this is a battlefield. The more powerful the enemy, the greater the danger, and must be eliminated as soon as possible.
