A day's work in the midst of the slaves' desperate journey,

Finally passed slowly,

Before the sun goes down,

Finally, I can see the outline of the sky from a distance,

If it weren't for the afterglow of the sunset,

Spread on the mountains,

As if dressed in a red garment,

made the blank one of the words particularly eye-catching,

I'm afraid it's hard to tell where the line of heaven is,

The main thing is that the line is too narrow,

Especially at such a long distance,

It lives up to its name.

When you see a glimmer of heaven in the distance,

All the slaves behaved differently,

Many people showed a relaxed look,

Because, at last, I was able to have a good night's rest,

But there are still many people with desperate and sad looks on their faces,

Because, having foreseen the fate after tomorrow,

Even if, even in the midst of this line of heaven,

did not meet the ambush of the other party,

That's probably going to be next time,

Or die in the next battle,

After all, they are slaves,

He has always been cannon fodder in war.

Dozens of fast horses galloped in the distance,

They are the horses of the Kushan Empire,

Though Mamel said with arrogance,

But in action,

But he is an extremely cautious fellow,

As early as two days ago,

And he sprinkled scouts in every direction of the army,

It is used to grasp the situation in the vicinity,

Although I will also get news from many locals,

But Mamel for such news,

But he always holds a deep doubt,

This is also the quality of a qualified commander.

"Report ——!".

A loud voice came from far and near,

Mamel sat on a high warhorse,

A pair of eyes looked at the rapidly approaching probe horse in the distance,

The spies came to Mamel,

Neatly turned over and dismounted,

"General, within a radius of ten miles from the first line of heaven, no enemy situation has been found!"

The spy reported succinctly.

Mamel waved his hand to signal the spies to step back,

Squinted his eyes and looked at the sky opposite,

From this location,

I want to see that glimmer of heaven,

It's really a little reluctant,

Mamel followed behind the brigade,

It's slower than the slave soldiers,

In the afterglow of dusk,

You can only see two towering mountains in the distance,

There's a part of that,

If you don't distinguish carefully,

It's easy to mistake it for a mountain.

Mamel turned,

Mingbayi respectfully waited aside,

After seeing Mamel's movements,

Gently moved closer to this side,

"General."

"Now that no enemy troops have been found near the first line of heaven, what do you think about this?"

Mamel asked the question seemingly nonchalantly

But Mingbayi knows very well,

Mamel's heart is also bottomless.

Mingbayi thought for a while,

Only then did he reply:

"General, in my opinion, I am afraid that there is fraud in this."

"Fraud?"

Mamel's eyes looked at Mingbayi beside him,

blue pupils,

It looks even colder at the moment,

As if to see through everything about Mingbayi.

Although Mingbayi felt the cold in his heart,

But still unswervingly looking back at Mamel:

"General, the general of the Han Dynasty can't be a fool, the news that our army is about to arrive at the front line, it is impossible for them not to know. Even if they don't know, the people of Napishan Country can't be ignorant, but there is no abnormality in the direction of the sky, and this situation itself is an anomaly......"

The ice of the mouth is also reduced from the

The coldness in Mamel's eyes decreased a little,

He spoke softly:

"So you're saying that this could be a deliberate trick by the enemy to get us into the trap?"

"General Mingjian!"

A gentle smile appeared on Mingbayi's face,

This smile looks very sincere,

It makes people feel convinced,

It doesn't seem to be flattering at all,

This is also one of the weapons that Mingbayi's miserable teenage career taught him,

Although Mamel was tired of this poor fellow,

But seeing this smile on his face,

Listen to his short four-word words again,

I still feel very satisfied.

Although he was very proud in his heart,

But he still shook his head slowly and said:

"You're doing a good job, but that's where the problem comes in."

Mingbayi looked at Mamel with some confusion,

After the other party saw this look,

The heart is more useful,

He raised his head and touched the hooked nose and said:

"After the endless darkness, there will definitely be a lot of light!"

This quote comes from an ancient proverb of the Kushan Empire,

The meaning is simply summarized,

That is to say, the extremes of things must be opposed,

Mingbayi is not clear,

Why did Mamel suddenly say this old proverb at this time,

It doesn't seem to match the situation in front of you,

Mamel stretched out his finger and pointed at the birds returning to their nests in the distance,

Spoken:

"Look at the birds, what does it mean that they can come back to their nests at sunset?"

Without waiting for Mingbayi to answer,

Mamel went on to say to himself:

"This means that at least there is no ambush in the vicinity. So Mingbayi, your previous speculation was simply wrong. It's because you're so smart that you don't notice these subtle changes, and that's what causes you to be wrong, you know? My young wise man? ”

In the end, Mamel said,

Looking playfully at the young man in front of him,

A thick disdain crossed the depths of his eyes.

Mingbayi looked at the birds that flew back to their nests in the distance,

A hint of uncertainty flashed in his eyes,

Could it really be that I guessed wrong?

But this vacillation only existed for a moment,

He still mustered up the courage to speak:

"General, maybe ......"

"No maybe!"

Mamel interrupted him with some impatience,

This guy really doesn't know the times,

But Mamel didn't rebuke him severely,

After all, the other party's worries are not unreasonable,

After thinking about it, Mamel spoke:

"In this way, Mingbayi, tonight and early tomorrow morning, I will send scouts to investigate, and when there is a result, I will order the army to move forward!"

Mingbayi still wanted to continue to speak.

But when he saw Mamel's already angry eyes, small

I swallowed the words that came out of my mouth alive,

Respectfully bowed,

I turned around and went on to other things.

Early one morning,

When the birds just flew up the branches,

The scouts who had gone to investigate during the night had come to Mamel's tent.

It just so happened that Mamel had just gotten up at the moment,

was taking care of his beard in the house,

Mamel was very concerned about his thick beard,

After hearing the scouts tell me that there are no anomalies,

Mamel's mood was even happier.

Throw down the spatula that trims the beard,

Commanded loudly:

"Mingbayi, herald to continue marching! Oh, of course! Those scouts are still going to be sent out! To give you peace of mind, my wise man!"

Mamel is in a very good mood,

It was rare to smile at Mingbayi,

Although, this smile is sarcastic to the other party.

Today's situation shows that

Those Han Dynasty troops,

So far, I haven't come to this mountain country,

It is even more unlikely that an ambush will be arranged on a first-line day,

In this way, he was able to cross the sky by surprise,

In the open field,

He didn't think that the Han Dynasty army, which was far inferior to his own numbers,

Also able to defeat yourself in a head-on battle.

As for those people in the country of Pishan,

Now there is no reaction,

This situation is too easy to understand,

Just like the small countries I met before,

Starting with their king,

have been frightened out of their guts,

It's just that this Pishan country has a unique geographical advantage.

These foolish fellows think they can hide,

That's why I can't find a single figure,

As for how dare they rebel against themselves?

Mamel believes that even if the other party really has that strength,

I'm afraid it won't be able to do any damage at all.

After all, in front of packs of wolves,

One or two lambs,

Not even qualified to make waves.

The army marched unhurriedly,

There were slaves who searched for them in front of them,

Mamel didn't need to let the army rush forward at all,

"Report ——!"

A scout rushed over,

Face full of wind and dust,

It seems that he still has a lot of injuries on his body,

Seeing this, Mamel chuckled in his heart,

"General, there are traces of enemy troops in the Sky Canyon ahead, and the scouts are ambushed, and I am the only one who escapes......"

When the scout finished saying this,

Falling off his horse with a heavy fall,

There are several feather arrows stuck in his back,

The guards beside Mamel hurriedly rushed over to check,

Reporting to Mamel:

"General, it's not life-threatening, it's just that I'm in a coma from excessive blood loss."

Mamel nodded,

With a wave of his hand, the guards took the man down,

Immediately, Mamel turned his head to look at Mingbayi on the side,

The expression on his face was a little embarrassed,

This is not long after mocking each other,

Then he was nakedly slapped in the face,

Fortunately in this scout, although the report is brief,

But I also heard it,

The enemy seems to have just entered the canyon.

In this way, it is not that there is no chance on my side.

After thinking of this,

Mamel's face looked a little better.

Mingbayi naturally understands the other party's thoughts,

Without thinking, say the contingency plan that has been considered for a long time:

"General, the enemy army should have just entered the canyon and is obviously not fully prepared, our army should speed up the march, and the main forces should be ready for battle, especially against the ambush of the other side on the mountain walls on both sides. The sooner we crossed the canyon, the casualties of our troops would have been much reduced. ”

This is exactly what Mamel has in mind,

Nodded hurriedly,

The commander of the pro-soldiers behind him hurriedly understood,

Then there was a herald rushing forward to report the news.

Mamel's army,

At this moment, the speed is gradually increasing,

And all the soldiers,

are also beginning to enter the state of battle,

At this time,

Suddenly, there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves from behind,

Mamel's brows furrowed slightly,

Hurriedly turned around,

"General! General Tucker's side was attacked, and the number of enemy troops was around 20,000!"

"Twenty thousand!?"

Mamel was completely shocked,

His eyes widened and he cried out,

"Where did these guys come from? Could it be that it flew over? ”

After Mingbayi on the side heard the news,

is also a shocked look,

The scout came to Mamel,

Rolled off the saddle and continued to report:

"General, General Tucker has just encountered a surprise attack by the opponent's light cavalry, the number of the other party is about 20,000, it seems that it should also be a long journey, and the two sides only made short contact, and the other party quickly evacuated the battlefield. General Tucker's unit was not wounded, and General Tucker himself led his troops in pursuit, ordering the lowly to come and arraign!"

After listening to Mamel's report,

The hanging heart finally let go of something,

Mingbayi spoke respectfully and said:

"General, it seems that this Han army has sent the main force to another road, but this is inevitably a little abnormal, why would the enemy army go around the main force far away......

"Isn't it easy to understand? The other party wanted to ambush our army on the first line of the sky, so he detoured the main force far away, but he didn't expect our army's speed to be fast enough, and he arrived here before the other party was completely arranged. Pass my orders!"

Mamel directly interrupted Mingbayi's analysis,

Speaking with great speed,

Don't give the other party a chance to interrupt at all,

He knew what Mingbayi was trying to say,

However, he also has his own plans,

Although Mingbayi's idea is sound,

However, it is inevitable that there will be hidden dangers of delaying military aircraft.

Especially in this situation,

The scout has already reported the results,

The enemy army only showed a small force in the middle of the sky,

On the other path, however,

But there were signs of a great force,

20,000 horses, not much,

However, according to the information Mamel received before,

20,000 light cavalry,

It should be the number of all the light cavalry of the Han Heavenly Empire,

Does this indicate that

The initial plan of these Han Dynasty troops,

is to wait until his troops enter the first line of heaven,

Then block the exits on both sides,

At the same time, launch an ambush attack in the canyon,

so as to achieve the goal of defeating your own army in one fell swoop,

The possibility is huge.

With such an idea,

Mamel did not listen to Minbayi's advice.

"Order Tucker to pursue and destroy that light cavalry force, and at the same time, send an additional 50,000 men to support Tucker, and kill all those who encounter any resistance!"

The guards in charge of the herald hurriedly retreated,

Mamel turned his head and glanced at Mingbayi,

When he found that he closed his lips tightly but did not say a word,

I sneered secretly in my heart,

Then the command was issued:

"Everyone else, speed up and set off for the first line of heaven. At the same time, I ordered the slave soldiers in front of me to charge with all my strength, and I must wipe out those Han Dynasty people in the sky, those who kill five enemy soldiers can restore their freedom, and those who kill ten people can join the army of my Kushan Empire! ”

After saying this command,

A cruel smile appeared at the corner of Mamel's mouth,

This commandment is not so much a reward for the slaves,

It's more like a command to send them to death,

Those slave soldiers were poorly equipped,

It's hard to be able to fight with regular soldiers,

Not to mention the need to kill each other.
