The other generals looked greedy when they heard this.
"This is a good idea! We should discuss it carefully and send troops together to capture more slaves to help us build the city.
Dayuan doesn't have the strength to attack, so this place is ours."
"Find the barbarian army as soon as possible and negotiate with them."
The generals became more and more excited as they talked, and thought victory was a sure thing.
Just after resting for a while, I saw cavalry chasing me from behind.
He was so angry that he started cursing.
“This Dayuan cavalry is really endless. They are still chasing us even after running so far.
Just wait and see, when we get to a place with complex terrain, we’ll surround you and wipe you out.”
"Don't worry, let's keep going! Find a suitable ambush location and wipe out this entire army.
With so many high-quality war horses, we can expand our army."
While cursing, he led the army to continue its march.
If they knew they had fallen into a trap again, they would probably be so angry that they would vomit blood.
Lei Ying and Lei Zhan were both extremely excited when they received the order.
They were chased relentlessly and driven into an ambush.
Fight a war of annihilation.
They are not given any time to rest at all.
The more exhausted the enemy troops are, the more damage you can do to them.
The barbarian cavalry eats grass all year round and is only given some food when fighting to ensure that the horses do not lose weight.
But their cavalry carried limited food and fodder, and the faster they ran, the more food and fodder they consumed.
But Dayuan has a steady supply of supplies.
When fighting, you can feed the war horses with fine grains to ensure that they have sufficient physical strength.
Even if it is a thousand-horse race, the warhorse can withstand it.
The replenishment after meals is not at the same level at all.
The enemy can't stand it and will easily be dragged down, so Dayuan doesn't need to worry about these things at all.
Ye, who was lying in ambush in front, kept adjusting the ambush location based on the news from the front line.
Ensure that the enemy is led into the ambush circle accurately.
Not long after, the enemy cavalry appeared.
The soldiers in ambush each had a crossbow, and there were also many large crossbows on carts, all aimed at the enemy.
Everyone became nervous in an instant, holding their breath and staring straight ahead.
I'm afraid that the slightest noise will scare the enemy away.
Zhao Ye and Zhao Wudi each led an army to ambush on the flank.
Wait for the enemy to approach, then start the charge.
At this time, it was getting dark and the enemy was looking for a place to set up camp.
This place is located in a basin, and the ground around it is relatively high with a relatively gentle slope.
Camping in such a place can prevent the cold wind from blowing at night, and there is no need to worry about being attacked by surprise due to the low terrain.
It is an ideal place to stay.
There wasn't much shelter anywhere, except for a few patches of woods in the distance.
"It's already dark, let's rest here for one night and then continue our journey tomorrow.
I don’t believe there is no village where Dayuan cannot be found.”
"We've been walking for so long and haven't seen any trace of cavalry. I wonder where the barbarian army has gone!"
"Isn't this even more unreasonable? The barbarians attacked first, so they must have attracted a large number of troops.
Maybe all the people with the surname Qi here have fled, so we can't see them.
We can loot supplies more easily."
After running for a while, they finally shook off the pursuers behind them, and many generals felt much happier.
"We have already penetrated deep into the hinterland, so we cannot be careless at all. We must quickly send people to investigate everywhere.
You can't be attacked while you're sleeping.
Dismount and rest immediately, but do not drop your weapon."
"It's completely deserted here, there's not even any grass.
We don't have much food left, and if we can't find a village, our horses will starve."
Many people began to curse.
Unexpectedly, only one year later, when they called back, they found that the place had changed drastically and they could not even see their shadows.
"Don't worry, I'm sure we can find it. I don't believe that we can move all the people of Dayuan to the capital."
Comforting and encouraging everyone.
A large number of scouts were sent out to search.
After all, there are 20,000 pursuers in the rear, and we need to know where they are.
If we go to other places, we may be able to find local people and ask them where they moved to and where to find the village.
After the scouts were sent out, I felt much more relaxed.
At least they were safe until word came back.
They started taking out food to feed the animals and everyone started eating.
Hopefully, the scouts will find a source of water so the horses can drink.
The scout they sent out had not gone far when he suddenly felt a lightness beneath his body and his horse fell forward.
Suddenly, people crawled out of the yellow earth on the ground, raised their crossbows and shot arrows at them.
From the moment they stepped into the trap to the moment they were killed, their eyes were filled with confusion and panic. They had no idea what had happened and had already died.
Get rid of both the man and the horse together to prevent any noise.
The movements were crisp and clear, and the coordination was extremely skillful.
They didn't know how many times they had practiced this move alone.
The effect is also quite impressive.
After eliminating all the scouts, the army continued to advance stealthily.
The closer the distance, the higher the success rate of the attack.
In particular, in order to keep warm, most of the enemy soldiers sat in the basin to avoid the wind.
In addition, it was getting dark and I couldn't see very far.
All the war horses had their mouths covered with cloth to prevent them from making any noise.
Strip off the clothes of the enemy scouts who were eliminated and have them put on by others.
People pretending to be barbarians returned to report the news.
He rode his horse up to the sentry and killed him with one sword.
Then he stood there and did not move in immediately.
The resting barbarian soldiers heard the sound of horse hooves and knew that the scouts had returned.
But after waiting for a while, no one came.
He looked up at her in confusion.
He shouted at him, "What are you doing there? Hurry up and report to the general."
“Whoosh!”
An arrow hit his throat. He stared with his eyes wide open in disbelief and slowly fell to the ground.
The people nearby were startled and quickly stood up to grab their weapons.
"Someone is attacking us!"
"Enemy attack, mount your horses!"
The scout fired a smoke balloon into the sky, then turned around and ran away on his horse.
Their task of delaying time has been completed, and now it is the turn of the main force.
The combined cavalry finally realized that they were under attack.
But they were very confused. They had sent a large number of scouts to gather information, so why were they still attacked?
What is the purpose of sending out scouts?
The situation is critical and there is no time to think.
Hurry up and get ready for battle.
The scene became extremely chaotic, with shouts, curses, and the neighing of war horses all mixed together.
No matter how fast the speed is, it will take dozens of seconds for a large number of troops to enter combat status.
At this time, the sound of dense horse hooves could be heard on both sides and behind.
Just by listening, you can tell that the army is quite large.
