"Centurion, we have found traces of the enemy, just to the east." The Turkic scout reported.

"If there is no fire at night, will there be an ambush?" The centurion fox asked.

The Turkic scout felt a lot of pressure, and he didn't dare to approach it in the dark, how could he know if there was an ambush, and if he didn't answer well, it would definitely be a dereliction of duty.

"The subordinates were afraid of startling the snakes, so they didn't get too close, and only snoring could be heard in the enemy's convoy, and their cargo volume was very large, which should be caused by fatigue caused by running all the way." The scout replied that he was careful to speak, using the supposed instead of the affirmative.

"Keep watching, and report back quickly if there's a situation." The leader said.

The person who the Turks chased over was just a vanguard officer centurion, who led the centurion team to follow quickly, and it was their job to spy on the information, and the night was dark and the wind was high, and the number of people was too large to launch an attack, so they could only send the news back to the main force in the rear.

The centurion dismounted without lighting a fire, a hundred people gathered together to rest in clothes, they chased all the way everyone is alternate with two horses, people have long been sleepy and tired, since they have found the target, even if the task is completed, according to their habits will follow all the way, waiting.

Tiante is still a black spot, but the Turkic centurion is woken up by the scouts.

"Centurion, they moved."

The centurion was stunned for a moment and said, "Wake everyone up and keep up." ”

Two hours are not a minute, the vanguard immediately moved, Situ En did not have time to lay more traps, followed and left, he really wanted to see the scene of the enemy's attack, but unfortunately he couldn't leave the team without permission.

Hulala, a hundred Turkic soldiers quickly chased after them, they had to pass through the place where the vanguard stayed to collect information, the horse speed was very fast, and even the moon did not give face in the dark night, and there was basically no contrast of moonlight.

Thump! Horses neigh, people scream.

The scout fell on his horse, causing immediate consternation.

Enemy attack?

"There are traps!" The scout who fell immediately shouted when he reacted.

The team of 100 people rode at a gallop, the speed was too fast, and the fall of one horse directly affected the people and horses on both sides and behind, and as a result, dozens of people fell down one after another.

The centurion realized that the situation was not right, and the first time he wanted to retreat and flee was not to be vigilant but to pull the reins of his horse, not because he was cowardly, but as a scout vanguard, they knew what their task was.

Saving strength can't be hard fighting, such as flying is enough strength to annihilate the opponent before starting, otherwise collecting information is the first priority.

Hearing the scout's shouting, he realized that it was a trap left by the other party, and the purpose was self-evident to block the pursuers, and the centurion ordered people to search nearby to make sure that no one had to call for someone to light a torch.

"Centurion, the enemy made a trap for horses, and we wounded more than twenty horses, half of whom were wounded." The Scout Soldier said.

"How can there be so many injuries?" The centurion was very surprised, unbelievable, falling a horse is different from falling a horse, the Turkic soldiers are superb in horsemanship, even if they fall from a horse, he believes that the soldiers will react immediately.

The enemy wounded half of the people before they saw it, and when the main force in the rear arrived at him, the centurion, I am afraid that he would not be able to do it, and he might even lose his head because of it.

"Centurion, there are ambushed bamboo thorns on both sides around you, and someone will be affected by this after falling from his horse, but what I don't understand now is why the enemy's buried bamboo is no longer higher, so that it will not only be injured, but will directly take people's lives."

The centurion knew where he was confused, but after thinking about it, he said, "Maybe it's because it's not easy to be discovered." ”

The reason is very far-fetched, wouldn't it be discovered during the day.

They didn't know that Situ En was inspired by Li De to arrange it like this, and now they were hurrying to find ways to slow down the chasing troops.

Wounded soldiers naturally cause drag, and the situation now is that it is more beneficial for them to move with injuries than with death.

The scouts of the vanguard had been watching from behind, and the Turks lit torches, saw the situation clearly, and went back to report.

"A small group of Turkic cavalry was found in the rear, there were 100 people, and they were delayed by the trap of Captain Situ Du, and dozens of people were injured, and I didn't see them move when I rushed back." The vanguard scout said.

"Good work, keep up with the team." Elevation said.

The matter of chasing soldiers in the rear then entered Li De's ears.

"Dudu, the enemy's speed is so fast, he can chase after them, do you want to take someone to destroy them while they are sleepy?" Elevation then asked.

Li De shook his head, it was not that he didn't want to destroy the enemy's vanguard, but he couldn't delay their trip when he saw that the enemy was small.

"It's too dark now, the terrain is unfavorable to us, if we divide some troops and horses to fight, wouldn't it be right in the enemy's mind, continue to hurry, the tail behind will not be easily thrown off, it is not bad to destroy them at this time, just take advantage of this time to study countermeasures."

Studying countermeasures, Li De obviously meant that he wanted to do something, Gao Cheng's heart moved, and he guessed: "Dudu, do you want to take action, there are as many as 30,000 enemies." ”

"Let the lieutenants come over for a meeting."

The elevation moved quickly, and in a short time all the lieutenants had come to their horses, and the sky had begun to grow brighter.

Li De's carriage was specially lit with oil lamps, in order to prevent oil splashing everywhere, the lamps were specially made very deep, and the lights swayed with the bumps of the carriage.

The curtain of the carriage was all open, so that the lieutenant who was traveling with him could see the map visited on the small table beside him.

The elevation is in the car to point out the route along the way.

"Dudu, in front is Shakou Pass, the terrain is complex, there are many strange rocks in mountains and forests, and you can block the enemy's cavalry here." Elevation said.

Li De looked at the awkward map and really couldn't understand it, where is the topographic map, and the arrangement of troops is not used at all.

"The enemy has more troops than ours, and has the advantage of cavalry, and if I choose this battle, I will pay a great price, do you have anything to say?" Li De said as if chatting normally.

Everyone was silent, 5,000 people against 30,000, it was still the main force of the Turks, and it would not be 5,000 people who could participate in the war, it would be much less, after all, it was impossible to give up the materials.

"How many soldiers and horses can the governor think of to use?" Shi Huaiyi asked.

"Three thousand five hundred." Li Dedao.

"The remaining fifteen hundred men will continue to hurry, and if the battle must be held back by the enemy, otherwise the logistical support guard will face the danger of being swallowed by the enemy." Li De continued.

Three thousand five to thirty thousand, the gap is really too big, even if they are all elites, there is no possibility of winning this battle.

Silence again.

"This battle may be defeated, but Captain Pontus is willing to lead the flying cavalry to delay the enemy's main force behind and buy time for the vanguard." Shi Huaiyi saw that everyone was silent, and his morale was low, and he immediately spoke.

If you delay, the flying cavalry has a certain advantage, the speed of the war horse is not much faster than that of the Turkic cavalry, and as for the danger, as long as you don't die to the end, there is still a glimmer of hope of escape.
