The original pursuit was reversed in an instant. Taking advantage of the chaos among the Walas, Dasheng's scouts came back and fired crossbow arrows, killing two Walas on the spot.
Ma Sanshun was completely excited at this time and shouted: "Kill, these Wala people are just losers."
For a while, these scouts couldn't figure out why these Wala scouts were so bad and were shot and killed so easily. Could it be that what the veterans said were just lies?
Soon, they saw the strength of the Wala cavalry. Although several people were shot and killed one after another, the scout cavalry behind them had already made a quick circle and killed the Dasheng scouts.
Before anyone arrives, the arrow arrives first.
The Wara cavalry's riding and shooting skills are really strong. While controlling the horses to shuttle between the woods, they can also draw their bows and arrows on the bumpy horseback, avoid the obstruction of the trees, and accurately shoot several Dasheng scouts.
After a moment of panic, Da Sheng's scouts discovered that the arrow only pierced a small hole in the armor, and they were not injured at all.
At this time, all the scouts swelled up.
Before, they were still running in circles, but now they simply slowed down to avoid bumps that would reduce their accuracy.
There was a soft sound of "Chi Chi Chi", and three more Wala scouts were shot under their horses.
At this time, Wala Scout realized that something was wrong, and immediately turned his horse around to escape.
However, Scout Dasheng's crossbow was cocked too quickly. After Ma Sanshun repeatedly reminded him, all the crossbow arrows were fired at the horses of Scout Wala.
The crossbow arrow's penetrating power was so strong that it went directly into the horse's buttocks. The running horse was shot and fell to the ground with a neighing sound.
The Wala scouts who fell to the ground knew very well that they would not be able to escape, so they bent their bows and arrows and shot at the dashing Dasheng scouts.
The scout cavalry simply put away their crossbows, held black steel knives in one hand, and wooden bucklers in the other, and rushed over with the arrows in hand.
Poor Wala Detective Cavalry's arrows couldn't even penetrate their wooden shields. When the horses passed by them, although they also drew their scimitars to resist, they were split into two pieces, including the swords and the men.
.
All the scouts were dumbfounded. They knew that the black steel knife was sharp, but they didn't expect it to be so sharp and powerful under the impact of the horse.
Of course, there were also a few shrewd ones among the Walas who did not dare to fight the attacking cavalry, but chose to roll and dodge.
However, although they escaped this wave of impact, when they stood up again, they found themselves trapped in blood, with the broken limbs and broken arms of their clansmen beside them.
Facing the Dasheng scouts who surrounded them again, the three remaining Wala people had completely lost their fighting spirit. They simply threw away their weapons, knelt on the ground and surrendered.
When Ma Sanshun escorted the prisoners back to the camp, the guard commander was stunned.
When did Da Sheng's scout cavalry dare to confront the Wala cavalry?
The most important thing is that Ma Sanshun and the others were unscathed. Not only did they kill nine Wala scouts, but they also captured three.
The news soon reached Chen Changqing, who personally met with Ma Sanshun, the scout team.
All along, when Dasheng fought against the Oara people, they relied on high walls and thick walls, or various formations and tactics to deal with the Oara people.
A large-scale cavalry charge is really not something that ordinary infantry can withstand.
Not to mention that the Wala people's riding and shooting skills are unparalleled in the world.
The Wara people's fighting method has always been to use cavalry and shooting to continuously consume them. When the opponent shows a weakness, they will launch a charge. When encountering the Wara cavalry in the wild, they will basically end up being defeated.
As for the encounters between small groups of scouts, Dasheng's scouts basically never win, and it is quite rare to even escape the opponent's pursuit.
But today, this scout team actually wiped out all the Wala scouts without any casualties.
Chen Changqing listened carefully to Ma Sanshun's detailed account of the battle, and finally concluded that he had taken advantage of the weapons.
Although Chen Changqing knew that this new weapon was very powerful, he did not expect it to be so powerful.
The armor can resist arrows, the crossbow can penetrate the opponent's defense, and the black steel knife is extremely sharp.
Chen Changqing can even cut a man into two pieces with a knife, but that is based on his strong force. The physique of the Dasheng people is generally not as good as that of the Wala people. It is not just the impact of horses that can cut the enemy into two pieces.
Strength, the sharpness of the black steel knife is the most important thing.
After rewarding Ma Sanshun and others heavily, Chen Changqing squinted his eyes and smiled. With this magical weapon, it seems that the winning rate in the battle with the Wala people is much higher. It may not be impossible to recapture Jiayuguan.
After guarding Ganzhou for his whole life, but losing Jiayuguan, Chen Changqing always felt as if there was a huge boulder pressing on his chest. At this time, he seemed to feel that the boulder was a little loose.
…
On the grassland, Yang Xuan led the troops and continued to advance behind Durm's army.
Along the way he saw many burned tribes and dead bodies everywhere.
There were corpses of men and women, old and young, as well as the corpses of horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock. It was like purgatory.
Yang Xuan was shocked in his heart, but he did not show it. As a general, he must stabilize the morale of the army.
Well, to be precise, he should stabilize his mentality. After all, the others are all veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles, and he is the only one who is a rookie on the battlefield.
Fortunately, he had experienced several battles before and was able to endure it.
The two guards led by Yang Xuan had two cavalry, but there were only a thousand people in total. They acted as scouts and took turns patrolling in the front and back to avoid being surrounded by the cavalry of the Fucha Department.
Along the way, the march was quite relaxed, just like traveling on vacation.
But as they get deeper and deeper into the territory of the Fucha Department, the scouts will occasionally see scouts in twos and threes. These scouts don't come close, they just watch from a distance. When the scouts chase them, they run away.
Well, in this grassland wilderness, it is not easy to catch these scouts.
In order to avoid being ambushed, Yang Xuan ordered not to pursue them, but to just drive them away.
In addition, the scout patrols were strengthened, and the manpower and scope were increased, just to avoid sneak attacks.
A few days later, the scouts had detected several groups of cavalry.
However, there are not many people on the other side. They are all riding in groups of dozens, with no more than a hundred people at most.
In this way, the scout's detection range is compressed.
Facing dozens or hundreds of enemy cavalry, if the number of scouts is small, they will be easily attacked by the enemy. But if the number of scouts is large, they will simply disperse, making them unable to pursue them.
Yang Xuan knew that his unit had been targeted by the enemy.
The reason why the other party hasn't launched an attack yet is simply because they haven't gathered the manpower yet.
Just like a pack of wolves hunting a flock of sheep, if there are too many sheep and too few wolves, they will not attack, but will keep a certain distance and stare at the sheep.
While gathering the wolves, they are looking for opportunities and exerting pressure on the sheep.
The sheep will naturally feel uneasy about being surrounded by wolves. As long as they slack off a little and break away from the large group, the wolves will definitely swarm them.
In response to this situation, Chen Zhuo and Dong Yue had no choice but to ask Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan thought for a while and said: "Then dig a hole. If we don't trick them, they will really treat us like sheep."
