Chapter 5: The Fierce War
We didn't attack but waited for the night to come, looking at the slowly darkening sky and the sun slanting in the distance, I knew that the time had come for us to do it, the Kugit had set up more than thirty sentry posts in total, and there were almost fifty people to guard together, they were so careful, there were almost no gaps in the whole village for our men to get into, I found a dozen night owls in the army, and I could only trust them at this time, I had each of them equipped with flint and steel, ready to light a fire in the village, it was better to find the stables, and order there first, After giving them instructions, they moved into the village by night.

I clenched my hands tightly, it was up to them whether I could succeed or not, and after a long while, there was no sound, I was very nervous, because I couldn't see the situation here, and I was a little weak-hearted, and a scream came from there, and I sat down on the sand, thinking that it was over, and when I was about to order the troops to attack, a little spark came into my sight, and I swung my hand back twice, "Wait a minute." ā
Immediately afterwards, a horse bark came out, I was very surprised, they actually succeeded, the horse team ran out wildly, hitting the houses, and also hitting the Kujits, I will not let go of this good opportunity, hurriedly led the troops to attack, let the archers hold the sand near the village, because of the light of the fire, they can see the enemy, and then let the cavalry ride around the village, disturb their crosshairs, by the way to destroy those lone enemies, and then personally lead the infantry to attack, I gave the horse to Spik, Let him command the cavalry.
I know the strength of the Kujits, but this is a good opportunity to exercise, but also a good opportunity to stand up, I soon led the infantry into the village, and then the residents of the village also rushed out, and took out the pig-killing knives at home, it is estimated that the Kugit people have abused them here, but we still can't let down our vigilance, we miscellaneous soldiers still have some difficulty in dealing with the regular troops.
I was quickly targeted, who made me wear so flamboyantly, but it was still a little difficult for their scimitars to penetrate my armor, but my arms and ankle rings were still a little out of armor, so I was very careful.
Because there are a lot of people around me, so the archers can find the target very well, all shoot in my direction, and they don't even need to aim, who makes people more, I have the infantry I brought with me in the rear, so I didn't fall into the situation of being surrounded, looking at some Kugit soldiers in front of me who didn't even have time to put on their clothes, I couldn't cry or laugh, my arms were numb, and the general's armor couldn't be too gorgeous, otherwise it would be too easy to identify.
Slowly my physical strength was already a little exhausted, and my soldiers saw it, so they began to move forward to kill, suppressing the enemy's momentum, and I also had some respite, although the night was very cold, but the sweat had already wet my back, a hot pain came from the top of the arm, just because the arm was numb and I didn't feel it, but now it was a pain in my heart, I wanted to withdraw from the battlefield, I blew a horse spoon, rode to me and pulled me onto the horse, I just gave him the horse and I also have plans to do this.
I could feel that my face was very pale, the blood on my arms could not stop flowing, the sweat that had been shed had long since evaporated, and the chill kept coming, and took me to a sand dune far from the village, where he laid a mat on the sand, and then slowly helped me to lie down, and then spread a thick quilt on me, and finally looked at me worriedly, and then returned to the battlefield.
The wind kept blowing, blowing the sand and dust on the ground beside my face, my face was full of bitter pain, the village on fire in the distance, the desert at night, the back of the soldiers galloping on horseback, this image was forever fixed in my mind.
The battle lasted until dawn, and I witnessed the whole process, and the next day, I examined the soldiers with Spike's support, and the wound on my left arm was clearly bandaged on purpose, in order to let them know that I had killed hard last night.
Counting the villagers, we will have nearly 120 dead, our army has lost 50 people, the enemy army has been completely annihilated, in general this result is still okay, but it is too cruel for those villagers, the transportation line of Kugit has been cut off, we just need to hold here, we started to help the villagers rebuild the village, there is a huge vineyard in the village, the villagers picked a lot of grapes to reward us, they said that they had lost hope in the Sultanate, we cheered them up, the soldiers of the Sultanate are still there, Their protector is still there.
We stayed in the village for two days, until a herald arrived, and he brought with him a letter from Chief Artis of Dukuba, which read as follows:
"I'm glad you destroyed the Kujit transport lines, I'm proud of you, but the war is still going on, Hakim Sultan will transfer a garrison of Ahmerad led by Siva, the difference between our forces and Kujit is still very large, the chances of victory in this war are still very small, although I know that it is not good to disobey Hakim Sultan's orders, but this is the key factor that determines our victory, I hope you can convince Siwa to bring us Amerad's support."
After reading this letter, I was uneasy in my heart, it is clear that the people have been full of anger at the decision of the Sultan of Hakim, if I don't convince Siva, indicating that the central part of Sudan still supports Hakim, then the west will fall, but at least there is a chance to fight back, and the Sultanate will be unified, but if I convince Siwa and let him bring support, it means that the central part has openly opposed Hakim, but Siwa and Artis will not obey anyone, they will not establish who is the supreme commander, so after this war, The Sultanate will descend into civil war and even fall apart. Maybe I shouldn't think so much about it as a petty official, but this is the future of the Sultanate.
Now I had to go to Amerrad, and I took twenty horsemen with me, and left the others at Sekuten, and I left Sbick here, and I told him to send me a message whenever anything happened.
Amerad is in the middle of the Sultanate, and if it were all cavalry, it would take about two days to get there, but the road was dangerous, and I didn't want to encounter the "Desert Wolf" like last time, but I could only pray in my heart, who knows if the luck would be so good.
At noon that day we set out, and I had already taken off my splendid suit of armor and given it to, and I now had a desert turban covering my face, and a yellow merchant's uniform and a pair of leather boots, and a long sword hanging from my waist, and a gray desert horse at my feet, and the rest of the cavalry were wearing yellow leather armor, carrying a light cavalry gun on my back, and a scimitar hanging from my waist, and riding a brown desert horse. I gave them all the best equipment among my generals, just to make us look like a regular army, so that the robbers could weigh themselves before they made their moves.
