Chapter 4: Turning Point
I made Sbik the deputy commander of the army, and then I set out with three hundred soldiers to Sekuten, a village between Shiba Zumer and Gamiedburg, where there may have been unexpected gains, and marching in the desert might have been a common thing, but we were in a bad situation, because their commander was me, and because they had not had enough to eat for several days. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
We walked in the desert for nearly two days, water and food were the biggest problems at that time, people kept fainting on the sand, I believe that if there is no harvest today, we will lose this war, I began to feel a little anxious in my heart, here is still two days away from Sekuten, and the fastest will be tomorrow noon, it is impossible to get there, now I can only hope to find a Kugit convoy, but the goddess of fate will not favor me so much, we still get nothing in the evening, We stopped under a small sand dune to escape the wind and sand of the night, the soldiers spread the clothes they had brought with them on the sand, a few people huddled together to keep warm, I had a fire lit, and they all leaned over, and I called again, and asked him to lead fifty men to set up a tripwire within a radius of three miles.
After doing all this, I looked at the bewildering firelight, prayed silently in my heart, looked at the bracelet in my hand again, and thought again of the little girl in Kuuut, and somehow the flame of hope burned in my heart, this war must be won, and gradually, I fell asleep by the fire.
Until a commotion woke me up from my dream, I quickly called Spik, asked him about the situation, it turned out to be a Kugit convoy was knocked down by our tripping horses, and everyone else flocked up, and now they are robbing their supplies, I was very excited after listening to it, this is the hope of survival, I hurriedly ran up, try to control the situation, and finally after a long time, the situation slowly stabilized, I clicked on the supplies, there are a total of a hundred scimitars, thirty sets of Kugit armor, The most important thing is that they brought 300 kilograms of food, and 400 kilograms of water.
I was not overjoyed, and I hurriedly asked, "Have you caught a few Kugit people alive?" thought for a moment and said, "Yes, but I don't know if I'm still alive." After hearing this, I frowned slightly, and followed him to find the captive.
When I saw him, he was no longer human, and I found his head with great difficulty, grabbed his hair and asked, "Where is your team going next?" He had already been frightened, but just now he didn't even have a chance to confess, and now, as if grasping at a life-saving straw, he hurriedly said: "We are going to a post ten miles away, where to rest for a day and then go to Dukuba." I asked him again, "Do you know how many caravans there are and where they are located?" The captive hesitated, but I pressed my hand to his braid, and he covered his braid and said, "I know, I'll take you, but you have to keep me safe." I let go of my hand and said, "Don't worry, we treat the captives well." ”“……”
Under his leadership, we quickly found a post station he mentioned, the post station was not large, it was obviously just built, and there were more than 30 people guarding the post station, but the most troublesome thing for me was that there were five cavalry, and if they let them run, the plan would be completely ruined.
I asked to get some soldiers who could shoot arrows, and said to them, "When they find us, you can shoot the Kugits on horseback first, and then take care of the rest." They all nodded, and we slowly approached the inn until they spotted us.
As I planned, the five cavalry were the first to be attacked, but I don't know if our archery skills were too bad, or they ran too fast, there were still two cavalry who ran out, and I resolutely chased after them, their horses were not as fast as mine, but they still ran out of sight, and slowly the large army was out of sight, and they also stopped their horses, probably because they were chasing me alone, and I was dressed like a general, so they wanted to kill me there.
I was nervous because of my lack of combat experience, but I still stood on my horse's feet to meet the battle, I pulled out the long sword in my hand inch by inch, pointed at the two Kugit in front of me, and made a provocative gesture to them, they obviously looked down on me, a young man who had not dried up, only one of them rushed out of it, and I tightened my horse and rode towards the man.
We rode along the poles towards the middle, I spread my sword, and when we came together, their low-quality scimitar pit them again, and the scimitar broke again after a crisp sound, and he was also cut off half of his body by me, and I didn't stop, but rushed towards another Kujiit, who was obviously surprised, but did not flinch, and still rode towards me, I did not go to him as before, but flew the sword in my hand directly, and he did not expect that I would suddenly change my tactics, Before he could defend himself, the sword pierced through his heart.
I drew the sword that had been stuck in his heart, and cut off their heads with fear, and when I returned to the army I lifted two bloody heads above my head and slammed them to the ground, and I heard cheers, and I believe that I had established some prestige in the army by that time.
According to the captive of Kugit, there were twelve stations scattered along the official road from Gamiedburg to Dukuba, and that usually only four stations were passed by a convoy, and I think it would be a great waste to destroy them all, but I think the most important of the twelve stations is the one at Sekuten, which is the transit point, through which every road passes.
We began to march northward again, and on the way we took five or six more convoys, and I sent more than a hundred men to transport the weapons, equipment, food, and water to Shiba Zummer, and wrote a letter to the commander there:
"The Kujits' transport line will collapse in two days, and everything is going well, but a few prisoners have escaped on the way, so I can tell you responsibly that the enemy forces outside Dukuba already know about this, and they will speed up their progress accordingly, and if nothing else, they should launch a general attack in these two days, so that the defenders are ready, and finally good luck."
The great battle was imminent, and whoever could seize the time would win, so we quickened our march and finally reached Sekuten in one day, where the defense was beyond imagination, the defenders numbered as many as a hundred, they were well armed, the cavalry was almost half of them, and they were all equipped with bows and arrows, we had less than one hundred and fifty men left, and the armament was very different from theirs, less than thirty cavalrymen, forty archers, the rest were irregular infantry, and there were many Sultan villagers in the village, it would be a fierce battle.
