Chapter 696: Kyrgyz Mountains 1

Republic June 1796.

In the open area south of Broken Leaf City and north of the Kyrgyz Mountains, it was inexplicably foggy.

Xu Daixuan rode on his horse and looked up at the dreary sky slightly, as if he wanted to penetrate the fog and see the enemy array still in the distance.

Of course, he couldn't see anything, but he knew roughly where the enemy was and what he was doing.

"Lord Himesis." Xu Daixuan called in a low voice.

"What does Your Majesty command?" A knight with black hair and black eyes, black clothes and black armor, riding a tall black Pars horse, and only a silver mask on his face was a touch of different colors, came to King Qin's side.

"The enemy should be about to arrive on the battlefield, right?"

"That's right." Himesis took out a silver watch from his bosom, looked at it, and replied: "Two hours ago, my men received information that the army led by Volodyasis who had rebelled himself had crossed the Kyrgyz Mountains. ”

With 200,000 troops and 200,000 men, it was certainly impossible to march on the same road, so the Pars crossed the Kyrgyz Mountains from five different mountain passes.

According to information from Himmelsis' undercover agent in the Pars Army, Volodyasis III himself was in the middle of the Fifth Route Army, with 30,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry by his side.

The other four roads were all 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry.

"As long as Volodyasis himself is killed, we will be able to win the war." Himesis continued: "My men will encourage him to take the initiative to attack, and then they will fall into the trap we have prepared for him - Volodyasis is such a stupid man. ”

Xu Daixuan didn't say much, he just nodded slightly, which was regarded as approving of Himesis's plan.

It has to be said that although this pa-rape does not have as many 10,000 supporters on the other side as he boasts, it is true that at least one 10,000-horse commander is his loyal subordinate.

The general, who was in a high position in the Pars army and could even influence the execution of the enemy's strategy, provided the enemy's complete march route not only to Himesis, but also to the Qin army, and even allowed the enemy to actively crash into his own trap.

That guy seems to have earned the right to command the enemy's scout troops? That is to say, the Pars have no idea what is going on here.

This kind of one-way transparent war on the battlefield, even if the Qin army does not use muskets and artillery, the enemy will not be able to achieve victory.

Poor Pars has not yet come to his senses.

……

The strength of the Qin army was very small, and the total number of troops was only 25,000, which was about one-eighth of the combat force of the Pars army and one-sixteenth of the entire Pars army.

It is a bit that there are many cavalry, a high rate of armor, and strong firepower.

In order to destroy the scattered enemy as much as possible, the General Staff of the Qin Army formulated various plans for breaking down: first let the enemy's strongest middle route army attack its own existing positions, and after using the terrain advantage and firepower advantage to destroy the enemy's middle route army, the cavalry of the whole army maneuvered at high speed, from east to west, along the northern foot of the Kyrgyz Mountains, and annihilated the other four enemy forces one by one.

Simple strategy, but practical.

Himesis looked at his watch again, the silver pocket watch was given to him by Xu Daixuan, a total of two pieces, and the other piece was given to his close confidant in the Pars army, the commander of the Ten Thousand Cavalry Kalandra.

It has to be said that this is a good thing, with it, even if it is dozens of miles away, Himesis is still able to agree on a lot of things with Kalandra in advance.

For example, the time to lure the Pars army to take the initiative.

"Your Majesty, the time has come." Himelsis reminded Seo Dai-hyun.

The latter immediately waved his hand, and the sharp military trumpet sounded, and several cavalry company commanders in the Qin army blew bamboo whistles, which corresponded with the sound of military trumpets, and commanded hundreds of Mengwu scouts to gallop out of the battlefield and gallop into the depths of the dense fog.

It was a red cloth to tease the bull, and a signal that he would send a message to Kalandra that we were ready to immediately encourage the stupid bull of Volodyasis III to come.

……

In the thick fog, a group of Pars cavalry scouts belonging to the commander of Calandlavan's cavalry were cautiously groping their way forward.

Their task was to look at the terrain north of the Kyrgyz Mountains to see if it was suitable for a charge by the powerful Gullam heavy cavalry.

The cavalry captain who led the team watched vigilantly, the fog was too unsettling, and it stands to reason that this battle should wait until the fog cleared before starting - no matter what the terrain is, foggy days are not suitable for heavy cavalry charges.

But for some reason, Lord Kalandra, the commander of the Ten Thousand Cavalry, had been encouraging the Emperor to launch an attack as soon as possible, his reason was that Gulam was invincible, but it was not suitable for pursuing the enemy, and if he could not destroy the Qin people as soon as possible and let them run to the old nest east of the Green Ridge, it would be impossible for Pars's 200,000 troops and 200,000 people to continue the pursuit.

Because the supply pressure is too great.

Once the main force of the Pars army retreats and the enemy comes again, Barasagon will still have to lose, so the main force of the Qin people must be destroyed once and for all, and this group of unreasonable bandits must be dealt with, and the other Xiaoxiao must be deterred.

The Emperor agreed with Kalandra's opinion and allowed the captain to send several scouts to prepare for the army's attack in the fog.

It is impossible for a small cavalry captain to disobey the emperor and the ten thousand cavalry commanders, so he can only lead the team to carry out this unsettling and important task.

Drip! Drip!

While he was thinking about it, a cavalryman with a red cloth strip wrapped around his pointed helmet suddenly blew a bamboo whistle, and the piercing sound spread far away, making the cavalry captain tremble fiercely:

"Bastard, what are you doing!" The captain scolded: "There may be an enemy here! Are you going to lure them over? ”

The cavalryman smiled a little embarrassedly and scratched his helmet: "There must be enemies here, we might as well lure them over so that we can catch a few prisoners and ask about them." ”

"Huh?" The captain thought about it, and it seemed like a good idea.

The enemy has been operating here for a long time, and he must know what the terrain is like, so it is much more comfortable to grab the prisoner directly than to walk step by step towards the unknown.

"Next time you blow that thing, tell me in advance!" The captain turned his head to look into the unknown depths of the fog behind him, and said cautiously, "We have to be careful......

Before he could finish speaking, a mace slammed into the captain's helmet with a sharp wind, and the strong warrior shook his horse before falling off his horse without saying a word.

"What are you going to do!" The other horsemen exclaimed, "You killed the captain!" ”

The cavalryman who had suddenly attacked ignored it, once again raised the bamboo whistle and blew it vigorously.

Backbite!!! Backbite!!!

There was a sound of horses' hooves in the thick fog, which was the Qin army scouts attracted by the whistle.

And they blew the same shrill sound:

Backbite!!! Backbite!!!

Now, even the stupidest people can understand something.

"You're a traitor!"

The sword flashed, and the head of the Pars warrior who let out this roar separated, and next to him, another Pars man with a red cloth wrapped in his helmet was carrying a bloody war knife, and coldly watched the headless corpse go limp.

The other Pars looked at the companion in amazement, and they noticed that almost half of the scouts had strange red cloth on their helmets!

This seems to be some kind of marker!

Before the Pars could wake up from this sudden scene, a group of Mughal cavalry followed the whistle like a whirlwind and poured out of the thick fog, killing all the Pars who had not wrapped the red cloth in their helmets in an instant.
