Chapter 164: Grassland First Victory

In the middle of the night, the three barracks were lit up with sky-high fires, and all three barracks were harassed by the enemy's iron cavalry.

Night is not conducive to cavalry warfare, but for the people on horseback is its own way, fortunately, in order to achieve a long-distance surprise attack, no matter how elite iron cavalry night attack a hundred miles, it is already a tired division.

After a brief period of panic, the barracks resumed its iron bucket-like defense.

"This is just the vanguard of the enemy, it is false to attack and disturb here, just to delay the pace of our army, if as expected, the follow-up troops are still behind, and then it will be a real big battle. Lu Fan stood on the hillside and watched the fires of the two military camps in the distance gradually extinguish.

"Father, what should I do then?" Lu Li said with a little panic.

"You have grown up under the care of the people around you since you were a child, you don't know how to do much, you think you are invincible in the barracks, but if it weren't for your safety, many generals in the barracks would be able to cut you down before you can defeat the enemy! War will make you learn many things that others can't teach you," Lu Fan said earnestly.

"Why don't you order the cavalry to lead the troops and take advantage of the darkness to sneak up on the enemy's tired division. Lu Li suggested, and looked at his father with a look of hope on his face.

"The cavalry has been reduced by more than half in the past two days, and I must have already been sent out by my father..." Lu Kasa said on the side.

Lu Fan looked at Lu Li with satisfaction, and still had some praise for Lu Li's meticulous observation. Those who have been on the battlefield for a long time still have some keen insight into the movement of the army, and the two children still have a lot to learn.

Seeing that Lu Li was praised by his father, Lu Li was not to be outdone: "I saw that many of the fares that my father escorted when he set off are now gone, and my father must have made arrangements." ”

"The remaining cavalry in the barracks has been sent out by me, and now we just need to make a presence in the barracks. Lu Fan chuckled.

After a while, the cavalry on the grassland was disturbed by a cavalry, and just wanted to pursue, but heard the drums in Lu Fan's camp resounding across the grassland, and couldn't help but slow down.

After a while, countless giant wishing lanterns floated in the sky, although the lanterns were scattered and fluttering, but some of them still floated towards the cavalry of the Prairie Tribal Alliance, in order to avoid being illuminated by the fire of the lanterns, but deliberately avoided the lanterns.

"This Central Plains people are just some strange behaviors, and they are still in the mood to put sky lanterns on this huge grassland, I really don't know how such an army that has no will to fight can lead this huge territory!" said a general of the grassland, looking at the lanterns in the sky.

"That's right, before we attacked their army this time, we saw the lanterns in the sky from afar, and their position was directly guided. It seems that the fierce enemy on our grassland this time should be the northwest army led by Lin Li. One of the generals chuckled as he tugged at the reins on his horse.

"Yes, we should show them what it means to be a real fighting nation. We should not let them underestimate us, for it would be a great achievement if we could take this army before dawn with our vanguard. A young general said.

"But we only have less than 3,000 elite cavalry here, and the enemy is 50,000 Great Shang Imperial Army, the enemy is outnumbered, even if our cavalry has an absolute advantage, but we can't underestimate the enemy's combat power. Someone said.

"Since ancient times, cavalry has been the king of soldiers. There are countless examples of defeating the enemy tenfold. Now the opportunity is fleeting, and it is estimated that the large army will arrive at dawn. At that time, a large force of cavalry arrived, and there was almost no suspense that more than 10,000 cavalry troops would annihilate this force. We won't have any other military feats at that time..." The only female general in the army looked at the crowd and said.

"You little tribes are too unruly, what right do you have to interject when we are discussing!" the general on the side scolded the female general.

It turned out that this alliance was an alliance of several tribes, but because some of them were weaker, one of the larger tribes had already sought refuge before the war began.

Naturally, they have no say in the coalition they have formed.

In the darkness, the female general no longer spoke, but a pair of eyes flashed in the night.

In the barracks, a man in black bowed beside Lu Fan and saluted.

"Master, everything went in the direction originally planned. The man in black knelt down.

"Great! Pass the order down and prepare for battle!" Lu Fan looked at the Void Dao.

An alliance does not have a unified leader, and for the sake of its own petty interests, it may develop into unplanned things at any time.

What's more, for their own tribes, each has its own little abacus.

Half an hour later, the enemy's light cavalry attacked the Shuai camp, and the Chinese army had already fallen into a sea of fire, looking at everything in front of him, Lu Fan let out a deep breath.

Finally, everything went as expected.

Looking at the enemy in front of him, he had already rushed to the barracks, Lu Fan waved his hand, and the horn of war sounded for dozens of miles across the grassland, and countless torches flashed around the original camp, and the army gradually surrounded the barbarian army in the grassland, and the grassland cavalry launched several sprints to break through, and they were all blocked back.

This time, the formation cooperated with the horse lock, rejected the horse gun, blocked the carriage in front, and the strong bow and crossbow in the back, and pressed the enemy's cavalry under the high ground of the handsome camp.

At this moment, the troops that were originally stationed on both sides also moved closer to this side, and they didn't realize until they were close to the front, and the hundreds of troops that were originally sent to harass did not have any sound of fighting, and let the enemy stationed on both flanks drag heavy anti-horse combat equipment and surround it, at this moment, all the generals of the barbarian army understood what this meant.

There was a betrayer in the Alliance! All of this was originally a hoax.

Originally, in order to grab the credit, the small tribe that descended to the vanguard this time was sent to block and harass the armies of the two wings, but they did not expect it to be in the middle of it.

And at this moment, the fragile trust between the original alliances also fell apart in an instant, and there was nothing left.

At dawn, the battle situation has been cleared, and this time the battlefield is extremely tragic, and no enemy has been spared!

This battle was also extremely difficult, but the effect of the invention of the Ministry of Industry was extremely obvious, although it was difficult, the casualties of this battle were suppressed to a very low level.

In this battle, due to the strategy of the Tamu tribe, the enemy's vanguard was surrounded, and the enemy's originally scattered formation was disrupted by the use of strong crossbows, and then the three hundred light cavalry of the Tamu tribe were led by the female general of the Tam tribe, and the enemy was killed without any power to fight back.

In this battle, Lu Fan obtained 700 war horses, but more than 1,000 prisoners were disabled.

Now what Lu Fan lacks most is the elite cavalry on the grassland, but these captives are a trouble for Lu Fan.

Lu Fan ordered the captives to be handed over to the Tamu tribe for disposal.

The sky was faintly bright, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, and at the same time, several dazzling fireworks on the grassland shot into the sky.

Looking at the fireworks blooming in the sky, Lu Li held the halberd in his hand and said excitedly: "I am still dreaming of assembling his vanguard troops, but unfortunately my wish has been disappointed." It's a pity!"

But there was a hint of regret in his tone.
