The commander of the pro-soldiers couldn't help but take a deep breath,

Only then did he slowly speak:

"The enemy's losses are less than a thousand, according to the report of General Tucker's side, the enemy has a total of 20,000 light cavalry, with several trebuchets, just with long-range attacks, more than half of General Tucker's camp was smashed, and when General Tucker led the army to counterattack, the opponent's light cavalry had a strange bow and arrow, and the arrows shot out were not only extremely far away, and the lethality was amazing, but also could be fired continuously, without the defense of the tower shieldman, any soldier could not even move forward under that kind of fierce attack, That's what caused a massive rout......"

"Hiss......"

Although I have never experienced that kind of terrible battle,

But just listening to this guy's description,

Mamel could also imagine,

The kind of one-sided battle that is so brutal,

Tucker is notoriously cautious,

It is precisely because of this that

So it is absolutely impossible for him to exaggerate any situation,

Even if it is such a fiasco,

He will only report objectively,

and will not deliberately exaggerate the enemy,

But it is precisely because of this objective evaluation,

It made Mamel feel chills all over his body,

According to Tucker's description,

This bow and arrow weapon of the other side,

It's simply an invincible existence,

can't even rush in front of each other,

has already lost tens of thousands of people,

What kind of terrible weapon is this?

Since the enemy army has such a terrible weapon,

Why did you deliberately show weakness before?

20,000 cavalry, with this weapon,

will be able to slaughter a hundred thousand troops to a great defeat,

His own army of 300,000,

Isn't it a joke?

But Mamel is not a fledgling child after all,

From this information,

He also sniffed out some clues,

Or rather, it should have been noted earlier,

But he was himself,

Something that has been deliberately ignored,

"Those Han troops only sent 20,000 light cavalry?"

Mamel asked, confused.

The pro-soldier commander nodded as a matter of course,

And then, all of a sudden, he realized something,

With a shocked face, he looked at Mamel and said:

"General, do you mean that on General Tucker's side, the enemy army only has 20,000 light cavalry?"

Although Mamel did not open his mouth to answer,

But that iron-blue face,

But the answer has already been said.

Seeing this, the commander of the pro-soldiers quickly closed his mouth tightly,

The information behind this information is too serious.

so serious that he casually said the wrong word,

It is possible to be angered,

There is even a direct possibility of losing the head,

This has never happened before.

Mamel's gloomy eyes wandered back and forth,

After a long silence,

Then he spoke again:

"Did the Scout Commander abscond in fear of crime?"

When the commander of the pro-soldiers heard this, he reacted instantly,

It's going to push the pot,

I can't help but feel a chill in my heart,

But he didn't dare to hesitate,

Hurriedly spoke:

"General, that guy accepted bribes from the enemy and lied about the military situation, the evidence is conclusive, in the process of arresting, this person resisted to the death, and had no choice but to kill him on the spot!"

After Mamel heard the reply of the commander of his own army,

Only then did his face look better,

Nodding slightly,

tacitly gave the other party a satisfied look,

The commander of the pro-army who received Mamel's signal,

hurriedly clenched his fists and went out to deal with the matter,

A Scout Leader,

A man who can be called a commander-in-chief's henchman in the army,

was so abandoned,

But abandoning the pawn to protect the commander is the usual trick of these people,

He can only be blamed for following the wrong person.

Mamel was originally going to take advantage of this war,

He who has taken his position in the empire to a new level,

But that's just the beginning.

Not only did it fail to get off to a good start,

Instead, it ushered in a blow to the head,

And the loss is still so huge,

He had to find an excuse or a scapegoat,

Otherwise, not to mention improving status,

Whether or not the current position can be retained is a question.

He can't completely hide this kind of thing,

After all, although he is the supreme commander of the 300,000-strong army,

But these 300,000 troops are not his personal army.

It's not even monolithic,

The forces of all sides have their own eyes and ears,

Naminbayi is the eyes and ears of His Majesty's face,

Although it is now almost conclusive,

The other party must have died in that line of heaven,

But apart from Mingbayi,

Just the eyes of His Majesty the King, who Mamel can grasp the situation,

There are at least three more,

What's more, there are many hidden in the shadows,

Therefore, the play that should be done must be done,

This Scout Commander,

Ben is also one of Mamel's most loyal confidants,

However, at this time,

It is precisely the best excuse for Mamel to cover up his mistakes.

When Mamel himself was the only one left in the tent,

He slumped in his chair,

The whole person is like a deflated ball,

Stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows,

Mamel stood up directly,

He slowly came to the huge topographical map in the tent,

The brow tightened again,

Eyes fixed on the topographical map,

Today, the crushing defeat of the two armies,

Although it was difficult for him to accept this result for a while,

However, he is also an excellent general after all,

Soon regained his composure,

He understands that if he wants to change his current situation,

and after returning home,

The kind of dilemma that you will face,

The only solution,

is to deal with these Han troops well,

Fight for the next battle,

Defeat the opponent fiercely,

Get back face completely.

A battle on this side of the sky,

Now that I think about it,

There are a lot of things that he can't figure out,

And the fiasco on Tucker's side,

It made him scratch his head,

What can be done now,

Only wait patiently,

Waiting for the arrival of Tucker's army,

This is the way to really understand some inside information.

to facilitate the next response,

Things that have been able to be determined so far,

It is the strength of these Han troops,

far beyond his previous predictions,

Especially those powerful bows and arrows,

Although I didn't see the real thing,

But just from their paraphrases,

I can also feel it clearly,

The reason why Tucker's side suffered such heavy losses,

Most of the reasons,

It's all from this terrible weapon,

Not to mention that such a weapon has never been seen in the battle with the Rest Empire,

It is to come to the Western Regions,

For such a long time,

I've never heard of such a horrible weapon of murder,

In any case, this weapon,

will become the key to the next battle with the Han army.

Stretched out his hand and touched his thick beard,

Mamel's mind quickly thought of a countermeasure,

There was silence in the tent,

Outside the camp, the army of the Kushan Empire also fell silent,

This silence is so oppressive that it makes people feel suffocated,

I feel sick all over my body,

Since the founding of the Kushan Empire,

There are almost no similar examples in history,

No matter how painful the defeat,

It is also impossible to see the enemy without seeing it,

has produced such huge casualties,

Especially after entering the Western Regions,

They have always wanted the wind to be the wind and the rain to be rainy,

All the way was very smooth,

How could there ever been such a tragic failure.

Their morale is already low,

If it weren't for the fact that they themselves were the elite troops of the Kushan Empire,

It is likely that the consequences will be more serious.

In the midst of this dreary depression,

Time passes slowly,

The commander of his own army stood quietly outside the tent,

Mamel has been alone in the tent,

I don't know what I'm doing,

Without his calling,

If it's not something special,

Anyone who wants to get close to here,

will be blocked by him to drive back,

Because he knows very well,

Mamel at this time,

What is needed most is quiet,

I definitely don't want anyone to suddenly bother at this time,

If so,

It is bound to bear the endless wrath of the second person in the Kushan Empire's army.

Therefore, he could only quietly stand outside the tent,

The sun has finally shifted to the west,

A dusty scout rushed over in a hurry,

When the commander of the army saw this man,

The brow furrowed tightly,

Two steps forward blocked the man's path,

He shouted in a deep voice:

"Stop! Why is it so alarmed! ”

"Quick! Report to the General! There are enemy troops on the front line! A large number of enemy cavalry! ”

"What!?"

The commander of the pro-army was shocked when he heard this,

Don't hesitate to ask for details,

Turning around, he was about to rush into the tent,

Suddenly, the door of the tent was pushed open,

Mamel strode out of it,

When you come outside the tent,

Hurriedly closed his eyes,

All at once the light became brighter,

Let the eyes be a little uncomfortable for a while,

He didn't wait to open his eyes,

Asked directly:

"Is there an enemy army on the front line? Is it clear? ”

"General, General!"

The scout hurriedly knelt on one knee,

The bamboo tube poured beans and explained it in general,

"General, half an hour ago, within five miles of the first line of heaven, a team of light cavalry with more than 10,000 numbers suddenly appeared, and it moved quickly in the direction of the first line of heaven. Now, it should be about to enter the first line of days......"

Mamel's eyes opened suddenly,

Though the sun stung him hard,

But looking intently at the scout,

Without saying a word,

The look on his face seemed to be about to choose someone to devour,

Coupled with the sense of majesty formed by the beard on his face,

It looks terrifying,

The scout was stared at by him for a while, and his heart was terrified,

Hurriedly lowered his head.

This action of the scout,

It just so happened that his action also brought Mamel back to his senses,

Ignoring the scouts who knelt on the ground as if they had confessed their sins,

He turned around and walked into the tent again.

Seeing this, the commander of the pro-army

Hurriedly kicked the panicked scout lightly with his foot,

The eyes motioned for the other party to leave quickly.

The scout looked up to see that Mamel had already left.

That's when I reacted,

He is not the object of the general's wrath,

In that moment,

I really feel that I will be dragged out and beheaded by the general's order in the next second,

At this moment, I suddenly felt a chill down my spine,

Shrinking his neck,

Greeted the commander of the pro-soldiers,

Fei also left the place.

These things are verbose,

But it only happened in an instant,

The commander ignored the scout,

He also turned and went into the tent.

I just got this information,

Mamel must have the next flip action,

He needs to hurry in,

Waiting for Mamel's command,

Military aircraft cannot be delayed for a moment,

This is something that anyone knows.

Sure enough, not long after,

The commander of his own army hurried out of Mamel's tent,

ran out and gave a series of commands one after another,

The whole oppressive camp,

In an instant, it was as if resurrected,

Although everyone still has a solemn look on their faces,

In addition to those officers who call the shots,

No other sound came out,

But it can be clearly felt,

The momentum of this army has changed slightly,

No longer as decadent and negative as Fang Cai.

Beyond the sky, the smoke and dust are chaotic,

The dust is like a long dragon,

From afar towards the sky,

It was a team of light cavalry moving fast,

From the shade of smoke and dust,

can be vaguely seen,

The armor of this army,

It is the attire of the Han army,

This force is the 20,000 light cavalry team led by Ma Chao.

Earlier today,

They attacked Tucker's troops,

After slaying it down,

rushed to this side of the sky without stopping,

Here, there is the work that Pang Tong has arranged for them to do.

Pang Tong's side trapped part of the main force of the Kushan army within a line of sky,

On the one hand, to destroy the boulder to open the passage,

Take these soldiers prisoners,

On the other hand,

It is also necessary to prepare for the next big army to face Mamel outside the first line of heaven,

And this takes a lot of time,

Especially in the special environment of the first line of sky,

Although it is an excellent ambush location,

But it is precisely because of the long and narrow terrain,

so that the captives were taken in,

It's going to be very difficult and trivial,

If in the process,

Mamel reacted,

Or these Kushan armies in the canyon desperately opened the passage,

So everything Pang Tong did before,

It has completely become a bamboo basket for water.

So, this is through Liu Jun,

gave an order to Ma Chao and them,

Let them get here as fast as they can,

And defend the entrance to the sky at all costs,

That's why we have this scene today.

As for whether Mamel will take a detour to another road,

Pang Tong was sure that Mamel would not do this,

On the one hand, it's because of the big loss here,

Mamel's temperament has long been figured out by Pang Tong,

This man is extremely confident,

It also means that his revenge is far greater than that of other people.

Since he has suffered such a painful defeat,

His first instinct must have been to find a place here.

At least, until he thinks he's completely unmatched,

It will never go back easily,

Second, Tucker's army lost over there,

Even if the other party saw the bluff of Ma's super army,

But after such a long time,

Especially Ma Chao and others,

Dare to give up the defense over there,

The whole army came near this line of heaven,

So Mamel, who has experienced the reality before,

will also muttered in the depths of his heart,

thought this was another trick of the Han army,

So they won't attack on that side.
