The Karashav River, which flows quietly, occasionally splashes a few waves. In the quiet night, it looks quite ethereal and tactful.

On both sides of the river, a large number of torches stand near the river. For a long stretch of the river, it was like daylight. The cathars and Khorezm soldiers constantly patrolled along the banks of the river. If there is a slight abnormality, I will stop and check for a long time.

In this way, the time came to the second half of the night. The originally silent Khorezm barracks suddenly woke up like a beast. A large number of archers, immediately and very fast, were arranged on the banks of the river.

This is the most spacious section of the Karashav River that is nearly a kilometer long. Due to the siltation of sediment, the riverbed is half a foot higher than other river sections. If you wade across a river, the pressure you face is much less.

It is also because the river is too wide, and the firelight on both sides of the river cannot illuminate the entire section of the river. As a result, a section of the river in the center of the river was completely darkened.

Boom... A large number of soldiers in armor. Under the order, like dumplings, they rushed into the Karashav River. As a result, the river, which was originally quite calm, became turbulent.

"Whoosh, whoosh...", the archers who had been arranged also shot their arrows across the river. Some of the cathars who approached immediately retreated to avoid the edge.

On this occasion, the soldiers of Khorezm accelerated the crossing of the river. But the resistance in the water is several times or even dozens of times that on the shore. They just want to speed it up, and it's hard to do it. They grabbed the reins, controlled their mounts, and crossed the river with shallow and deep water.

Even though it's autumn! During the day, the waters of the Karashav River are as warm as spring like the warm sun in the sky. But at night, the water that flows down from the mountains remains cold and biting.

As soon as the Khorezm soldier got out of the water, his face suddenly turned white. But fortunately, they were mentally prepared for this, so the soldiers only took a deep breath and continued to move forward without the slightest hesitation.

And behind them, there were hundreds of cavalry who were wandering alone. This is the soldier who Timur found in the reinforcements with good water nature. There were officers and armies of various tribes, as well as Kangli people.

But most of them are tribal youths. These people have been nomadic by the river since childhood, and it is normal for them to know some water.

They were like shadows in the darkness, cautiously following behind the front army. Without a closer look, it is generally difficult to detect their presence.

At this time, the cathars also launched an offensive in a very short period of time. The eagle cavalry lined up all took out their large longbows. The arrow basket behind him was full of arrows.

Faced with the constant arrows shooting at their side, the Eagle Cavalry retreated more than twenty paces. This made Khorezm's archers unable to inflict heavy casualties on their own side.

Timur was the commander of this support army, and after seeing that the eagle cavalry did not dare to face his own arrow array, he felt a little proud. The reason why he chose to cross the river at this time was to use the cover of night to increase the certainty of success for crossing the river.

At the same time, the wide lake was used to weaken the enemy's firing at the soldiers crossing the river as much as possible.

Although this action was quickly detected by the enemy, the enemy was able to attract their attention.

In this way, the back move he arranged will be easy to succeed.

It's just that soon, he can't laugh anymore. Because as soon as the cathar's longbow shot, he was shocked. What kind of bow and arrow is that, even from a distance of nearly two hundred paces, can shoot to the other side.

Because of the surprise, many archers in his camp were shot down and dismounted. Then the arrow turned, and a volley was fired at the soldiers crossing the river.

"Ahhh Timur knew that these people would become cannon fodder to attract the attention of the cathars, so his complexion did not change much. However, the tribal chiefs who followed were all a little ugly.

Because these soldiers in armor are actually pieced together by the tribal army. In order to attract attention, Timur deliberately asked his soldiers to exchange armor with the tribal army. Thus the cathars were negligent.

In charge of this blocking battle was Ahura, the commander of the Chiyan 1st Battalion. When he saw the rare officers and soldiers in Khorezm being shot one after another, he felt a little happy in his heart.

It didn't take long for the whole river to be eerily quiet. All the Khorezm soldiers who waded across the river were also shot and wounded. So that the entire river, there is no half of a figure.

Ahura's sight also immediately shifted to the opposite bank.

"Shoot me! I want to be on the other side, and I can't shoot an arrow again! ", he said quite proudly.

So the archers of Khorezm immediately retreated. It wasn't until the cathar's longbow could no longer threaten them that they quickly resumed their formation.

Seeing that the enemy's offensive had been repulsed, Ahura had the battlefield cleaned. But the army of Khorezm, which had just retreated, rushed out with hundreds of horsemen. As soon as you get close to the riverbank, shoot arrows at the opposite bank. Several soldiers who were not running fast were immediately shot dead and wounded.

The cathars immediately launched a counterattack!

But the Khorezm cavalry seemed to be deliberately harassing. After seeing the cathars take a position, quickly leave the longbow's firing range.

Then wait until the cathars let down their guard, and suddenly rush to the front to attack. As a result, Ahura was also annoyed.

It is at this time that hundreds of meters downstream of the river surface. A few inexplicable blisters gurgled and gurgled. Immediately, heads rose from under the water. After observing that there were no enemy troops on the shore, he quickly dived underwater.

After about a short while, figures climbed to the ground. At a cursory glance, there are at least a hundred people. Each of them had a large knife pinned to their waists, and it was still ticking, and water stains were constantly dripping down.

They saw the barracks with torches lit in the distance and hurried over.

As the Khorezm army was preparing to cross the river, most of the soldiers were led to the river beach a kilometer away. As a result, the patrolling cathars also became sparse. As a result, the enemy army approached the barracks before the cathars discovered it. He scolded and asked, "What person?!" ”。

They are also shirtless and don't dress like soldiers. Coupled with the fact that the enemy army was facing off across the river from the cathars, the cathar soldiers instinctively thought that maybe they were some bandits and horse bandits who didn't have long eyes.

But it wasn't until the gang came out of the darkness that he realized something was wrong.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ", shouted the cathar. At the same time, draw the bow and shoot arrows and shoot quickly at the enemy. But in the end, you can fight alone! After shooting one or two people to death, they were rushed close by this group. Then the knife fell in his hand, and his head was in a different place.

In less than a stick of incense, Ahura, who was confronting Khorezm by the river, found that the camp was not good.
