Chapter 1391: Danger Stacks

Wang Renli immediately became alert, this situation was definitely not a normal phenomenon, perhaps, maybe it was not Asta's Sogdian cavalry chasing the big cannibal away, but Asta smelled something unusual and dangerous and left hastily, and he didn't even have time to clean up the battlefield.

"There are rangers immediately, and the warning range is ten miles!"

Normally, the warning range is only five miles, and their cavalry has only more than 500 people, and the target of action is small, and three miles is more than enough, and now the sudden expansion of the detection range to ten miles must be very difficult.

The subordinates realized Wang Renli's nervousness and asked:

"Captain, could it be that there is an enemy attack?"

"Be careful, Asta is in a hurry to get from here, it should have happened to some unexpected situation......"

At this moment, Wang Renli regretted a little, he did take the enemy lightly.

In his eyes, the Great Cannibal of Ilam has become a lamb to the slaughter, and this is a border area, so it is impossible for a large army of Great Cannibals to appear.

But now it seems that what happened to Asta was not necessarily the dismissed prisoners of the Great Eater, perhaps someone else, and caused them a lot of trouble, just from the number of fallen war horses, it can be roughly guessed.

"Get on the horse, get on the horse, and return to camp immediately!"

It was the most reasonable decision at the moment to send out the rangers to reconnoiter the enemy, and then the cavalry battalion quickly returned to the main camp to join the main force. In the dark night, there are all kinds of unknown situations on the side, and if there is any accident, it is difficult to estimate.

At this time, Wang Renli was very nervous, although there was nothing around for the time being, he still felt an invisible pressure approaching little by little, and a bad premonition always followed.

On the way back, the Ranger brought back nervous news, and a group of people who didn't know where they were coming appeared.

At this point, Wang Renli no longer had a fluke, he immediately changed the previous military order to return to the camp, but was ready to fight at any time.

After a series of strange circumstances, such a group of people of unknown origin will stand in the way of their return, and there will be a high probability that they will be friends and foes.

The next step is to find out the number of unidentified friends and foes, and then formulate a strategy accordingly.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

A terrible roar pierced the night, followed by a warning roar followed by the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground that shook the earth, and the sound seemed to step on Wang Renli's heart.

Now that Wang Renli has even repented of his intestines, if he is given another chance to choose, he will definitely not choose to rashly come out to chase Asta.

And now to make matters worse, Asta's 5,000 Sogdian cavalry is also missing, and it is not known whether they were also encountered by accident or ambush.

For Wang Renli, he is not willing to fight for a moment, as long as he is not surrounded by heavy surrounding, there is nothing to fear, and evacuating this place is the first goal.

Since the other party is blocking his way back, he just needs to bypass it.

Soon, the rangers who had been scattered in all directions reported one by one, and only in the southwest direction had no signs of unidentified human movement.

Wang Renli no longer hesitated, and immediately withdrew to the southwest with five hundred cavalry, at least no one could stop them within ten miles of that direction, and the rest of the directions were between five and ten miles, and a small number or a large number of unknown men and horses were found in the uneven direction.

What he wants is to encircle in one direction, as long as the distance is widened in the longitudinal direction, and the opponent is not enough to use, he can squeeze out of the gap at any time.

Wang Renli joined the Shenwu Army from the time of the Anshi Ping Rebellion, and the Shenwu Army at that stage was in a state of fighting more with less most of the time, and there were countless cases of interspersed battles in layers of encirclement.

And it's still night, so it's easy to get out of contact with these people. He feared that he would be an unforgivable sinner who ruined the prime minister's plan to run Persia because of his underestimation of the enemy.

In comparison, what is the safety of Wang Renli alone?

Even if he is not afraid of life and death alone, the five hundred cavalry under his command cannot be killed casually, and must be brought back to Great Britain with all beards and tails, and any accidents here are not worth it.

Sure enough, the second wave of scouting horses and horsemen found traces of unidentified soldiers and horses in the southwest direction, which was nothing, and Wang Renli's five hundred cavalry turned west and walked in a zigzag shape that was several miles long.

After running out for nearly ten miles in one go, the physical exertion of many war horses had reached the limit, and after confirming the basic safety, Wang Renli ordered his subordinates to hide in the woods and accumulate horsepower.

At the same time, once again they were sent out in all directions to find out if they were safe.

After about an hour, it was almost clear that the unidentified centaurs were still tentatively tightening the encirclement, and their position was on the outer edge of the encirclement.

Fortunately, it was a loose encirclement, and they left in a constant interspersed way, and what those people were doing now was meaningless.

Wang Renli breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the bright moon overhead, and knew that today's invisible crisis was over.

However, the matter must not be left alone, and it must be ascertained whether they were secretly planning to ambush them. And what happened to Asta and his 5,000 Sogdian cavalry.

Strangely, the rangers who were scouting the perimeter did not find no trace of the five thousand cavalry, and it was as if they had disappeared into thin air.

It's just that in the dark night, and the situation is complicated, Wang Renli must return to the barracks before making plans.

After another hour, seeing that the sky was bright and the horsepower had almost been accumulated, they were back on the road and headed east.

When it was almost dawn, he finally met the foot soldiers of the Shenwu Army who rushed to meet him.

After questioning, Wang Renli learned that unknown soldiers and horses attacked the camp last night, but fortunately the defense was obtained, and the sneak attackers hastily evacuated after leaving hundreds of corpses.

Upon hearing this, Wang Renli frowned, knowing that he had despised Ilam's enemies, and perhaps they were not as cowardly and incompetent as Khazar had described.

Not long before he arrived in Ilam, he almost fell into an ambush.

At the same time, Asta and his 5,000 cavalry still had no news, so Wang Renli had to send more rangers to investigate the situation.

Asta's whereabouts were finally confirmed at sunset, and he was trapped in the encirclement of the previous night.

It's just that the loose encirclement has become very tight after a night of tightening, and it is no longer possible to withdraw without anyone noticing.

These unidentified soldiers and horses are obviously the Great Food Army, and they are also wearing the black robes that are the signature of the Black Food, and even Khazar himself is puzzled, it is clearly the Praetorian Guard from Ctesiphon!
