Run, run, run!
Lin Che's only command at this moment was to throw away almost everything he could except the weapons in his hands.
The 40,000 Shenji Battalion followed the flag in the front and began to flee frantically.
After a while, an emergency came from the front.
"General, there is a desert ahead. The sand is soft and our horses are difficult to ride."
Lin Che didn't show any emotion when he heard this, as if everything was within his expectations.
"Dismount and keep running—if the horses can't keep up, abandon them! Our horses are unrideable, and the Zhenyuan Army behind us can't ride them either!"
As soon as Lin Che gave the order, all the cavalrymen dismounted and fled for their lives, leading their horses.
For the Shenji Camp, that is about 5,000 war horses, including those they bought in Liangjie City.
There were not many horses, and after the cavalrymen dismounted, there was not much change for the entire Shenji Camp.
The pace of escape did not slow down much.
However, many officers of the Shenjiying saw this scene and they all frowned. Many of them were veterans of the Tiankeng and had rich combat experience.
Lin Che led them to run into the quicksand of the desert. With their lightness skills, they would have no problem escaping. The Zhenyuan Army behind them would definitely change from cavalry to infantry.
"Could this be the Marquis's plan? All the Zhenyuan Army's warhorses have been crippled before the battle even begins."
"Is this really worthwhile? If we defend the city, the Zhenyuan Army's horses will be useless. If we continue to run, we will be caught up by the Zhenyuan Army behind us. If we don't change direction now, our team will be eaten up bit by bit."
"Stop arguing and listen to the general! Retreat now!"
I don’t know if the new recruits in the village have a natural advantage in survival in the wild.
They ran wildly across the desert, feeling very relaxed. The soft sand could not stop them at all.
The Zhenyuan Army, which was chasing behind, also discovered the changes in the desert.
"Report - General, there is no way forward!"
"It's such a long road, are you blind?"
Cheng Xiangrong stood on the chariot and cursed angrily.
Why is this army running slower and slower?
"General, our horses can't run in the desert ahead. The sand is so high up that it's not even above the horses' calves. Many soldiers have fallen off their horses."
"General, this must have been planned by Lin Che. They are simply afraid of our cavalry!"
"nonsense--"
Cheng Xiangrong cursed again. The entire army could not move forward at all. Even the chariot he was riding in was stuck in the sand.
He jumped out of the car impatiently and stepped on the sand.
Sure enough, the sand felt very soft, not like the desert we usually know.
He glanced over and found a piece of heavy armor dropped on the ground. Such equipment definitely did not belong to their Zhenyuan Army.
Moreover, during the chase, he saw things running away several times.
"Did you see what they left behind?"
"I see. They didn't want their baggage train either..."
Cheng Xiangrong raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Hahaha, fleeing without a fight, letting the Shadow Guard leader intercept us. Now he's even throwing away his armor and weapons, he's a scared dog!"
"Pass the word down—we'll abandon our horses too. Let two teams guard the horses while we chase them!"
The staff officer nearby was startled. "General, we can't abandon our horses. Our advantage is that everyone has a warhorse. If we abandon our horses now, what's the difference between us and Lin Che's army?"
"The difference is, even if our hands and feet are tied, we can still wipe them out completely! Abandon your horses—and keep chasing!"
Cheng Xiangrong no longer has any worries.
Because of the current behavior of the Shenji Camp, let alone the newly formed recruits, even if it was their Zhenyuan Army, if they dared to retreat without fighting in such a disarray, their morale would be broken and they would be at the mercy of others.
When two armies are fighting, the most important thing is to attack with one blow.
"kill--"
The 30,000-strong army of Zhenyuan also abandoned their horses and resumed their pursuit.
Just like that, two large armies appeared in the vast desert, one in front and one behind, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer.
For an ordinary adult, running wildly in the desert, even running up a hill is exhausting enough.
Not to mention running wildly, even if you stay for a long time you will be sweating all over and your mouth will be dry.
And now, the two armies were running at an extremely fast speed, having mobilized all their energy.
"Go! Assault the team, speed up and catch up, kill the ones at the back first!"
Cheng Xiangrong had already seen that the distance between the two sides was less than one thousand meters.
At this distance, as long as their assault team speeds up, they can leave behind the soldiers behind the Shenji Camp.
"Got the life—"
A raiding team of 2,000 men, each holding a long sword, rushed forward almost turning into afterimages.
Lin Che had been keeping an eye on the Zhenyuan Army and saw that one of their teams had broken away from the main force and was the first to catch up.
"Archers—ready! Shoot arrows at the enemy from behind!"
The Arrow Clan was the last to retreat.
They usually hunt in the deep mountains and forests, and most of the time they have to shoot their prey while running wildly in the rugged mountains and forests.
Now that they heard the order, all the soldiers of the Arrow Clan became excited.
Finally, he was not holding a wooden bow himself, but an excellent large bow given by Prince Wu.
Whoosh whoosh——
A rain of arrows was shot out, aiming at the charging Zhenyuan Army assault team.
puff--
With a loud bang, the Zhenyuan Army captain charging in the front had his head exploded instantly, startling the other assault team members.
