Chapter 405: Caught off guard
On the Baba Mountain Plateau, a team of eagle cavalry rushed here at a rapid pace. When I saw a large number of potholes and obvious regularity, I was immediately overjoyed.
Suddenly, in a valley not far from the Baba Mountain Plateau. The cathars, who had lost track of the enemy, received the news that the cavalry had spotted the enemy's tracks. As the head of a thousand households, Ge Riwuqi immediately gave the order to pursue.
So more than 10,000 cathars immediately rushed to the Baba Mountain Plateau at a very fast speed.
Among the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in this raid, only Ge Zhiwuqi had the largest military rank. Therefore, Tataraf, who is at the level of a commander, is naturally dominated by the opinion of Ge Zhiwuqi.
Originally, they were ready for a surprise attack! Therefore, when approaching the bottom of the valley of Lale, he deliberately slowed down his pace and sent out rangers to reconnoitre.
But who knows, the enemy army turned out to be gone. Later, he had to investigate carefully to find out the traces of the enemy. After groping like this, I finally found them on the Baba Mountain Plateau.
Soon, the cathars arrived at their destination. Because the ground is relatively dry, it is easy to find out the direction in which the enemy is leaving. Then follow their footsteps and come to the Hibal Pass.
"Damn! If you let them go back to Eight Meters, it will be a big problem! Ge Riwuqi looked at the deep Hibal Pass and said loudly.
After all, their plan from the beginning was to raid. If the enemy army returns to the city, the surprise attack will not be effective.
Tatarav also blushed, obviously unhappy.
It was also because of the lack of information that they did not know that the Persian army had captured the city of Eight Meters.
Just when they were secretly anxious, Hetosha Bean rushed over with a happy face and said loudly: "The head of a thousand households! A thousand households! We have left a confidential letter from the Shah Ministry. ”。
"What?!" , Gorzhwuch and Tatarav's faces showed a bit of surprise.
Hetosabel also knew that time was urgent, and immediately submitted the letter. I saw that it was a cowhide, and it was written in charcoal ash dipped in water. Information such as when the eight-meter army will be drawn and how many troops there are.
And it uses the local tribal language, although it is similar to Persian, but it is also mixed with some Sanskrit from Tianzhu and other places. If it weren't for Hetoshabel's explanation, it would have been a little difficult for them to identify Gervulqi.
In fact, this is the prototype of the Pashto language! It's just that the way it's written is still relatively crude. There is no systematic writing, but directly borrows the Persian and Tianzhu scripts.
"Is this reliable?" , despite the information revealed above, made Ge Riwuqi breathe a sigh of relief. But he could not help but have doubts about the reliability of the letter.
Hetosha didn't listen, and immediately responded, "It's pressed under a stone!" And on the stone, the code words of our tribe are also engraved. ”。
Because a few days ago, the cathars had contacted Shah's tribal army through the Department of Affairs. So at the moment, Shah and other troops of Bami have actually secretly taken refuge in the Apologetic Army. This letter was the military information they deliberately revealed to the cathars.
Hearing the assurance, Gorivuqi did not delay. Immediately lead the cathars into the mountain pass and pursue the enemy.
It is also according to the news on the secret letter that the time for the eight-meter army to start is only a little more than an hour. Catch up now, it's very likely that you can catch up.
And within the Hibal Pass, the battle for Skinny Ridge was nearing its end. The entire excavated slope has been filled with layers of corpses. The ramp down has been smoothed out a lot.
The cathars, who were struggling to stop the enemy, finally retreated at a very fast speed after paying a certain amount of casualties.
In the end, I am not fully prepared! As a result, the advantages of the terrain cannot be maximized. And the eight-meter army, because of the desire to return to the city, was extremely heroic in battle. Under the crowd tactics, the cathars were also exhausted by the continuous offensive.
Abu Lais, who had the heart to fight, also had to consider the consequences of too many casualties among the cathars. He had no choice but to lead the cathars and withdraw to the defensive line of the Bamir Pass.
But it's not so easy to break through there!
When Abu Raiss came to stop the enemy, the remaining garrison began to prepare for the enemy. So it is foreseeable that it must be another burial place for the eight-meter army.
"Emir! Since the infidels have appeared here, the eight-meter city will not be guaranteed. If we come back to help, we will definitely fall into a desperate situation! ", a general who is not rich, said in a sad voice.
Due to the previous battle, the casualties of the tribe of Kebuli were not small. These generals are already very dissatisfied. Therefore, when Ber-Uddin ordered the whole army to pursue, he even disobeyed the order and asked for a retreat.
How could Bel Uddin not know that the city of eight meters is not guaranteed! But if they don't come back, where will they have a way to retreat. And he still had a bad premonition in his heart that the infidels who had captured Fislogu might have driven behind them.
In this way, it can be said that there are wolves in front and tigers in the back.
Therefore, it can only move forward, and there may be the possibility of retaking the city before the cathar army has a firm foothold.
Speaking of which, it's just a fight against the water.
Without waiting for the other generals to speak, he reprimanded angrily: "At the moment of the great enemy, he dares to bewitch the people, what is his intention?!" As soon as the words fell, he suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist and slashed at the general who was kneeling on one knee.
If you don't know it's good, the general will dodge. Baji Rao, who was staring at him, was about to stop him. But Ber-Uddin moved too fast, and instantly beheaded the general.
Some of the Kebuli generals who wanted to ask for a retreat hurriedly held back their words. Then Ber-Uddin gave Baji Rao a fierce glance and ordered the 3,000-strong personal battalion to walk at the forefront of the ranks.
With such a mighty stroke, the Kebuli tribal army who had complaints finally let go of the dissatisfaction in their hearts for the time being.
The cathars, who had come to the Hibal Pass in this way and returned one step earlier, were already in full battle. Ber-uddin did not talk much nonsense, and directly ordered the pro-military battalion to attack.
But he's not that stupid! Let his own soldiers be sent to death in vain. Instead, he took out an arrow smeared with fire oil and fired at the cathar's fort. What's even more unexpected is that there are also bunches of fireworks that are blazing into the sky.
"Where did they get the Divine Fire?!" , Abu Lais, who relied on the defense of the military fort, immediately turned pale and said. It was also that he did not expect that there would be such a thing in Bel-Udin.
As a result, the first round of attacks inflicted heavy losses on the cathars outside the fort.
At this time, in the eight-meter army, many tribal armies were also shocked. In fact, they never knew that Ber-uddin also had the divine fire that only Khorasan had.
Seeing everyone's Sanskrit sounds, Bel Uddin felt a little proud. Because he spent a lot of dinars to get this divine fire.
At the same time, Kalwan of Faith Logu received an urgent military report from Timur. It is said that in the eight-meter city, an extremely secret firearms workshop was discovered. Among them, some produced fireworks were also found.
