Chapter 213: Decision
Li Mu had a premonition that they were not very far from the land where Touman hid grain, although the cavalry of the wolf clan relied on plundering and rapid excitement, and accurate archery skills to dominate the cavalry of all countries, but they could not implement this plan again after being blocked outside the Yanmen Pass, or they relied on plundering the people of their own clan, then this is the real act of looking for death, Touman relied on the trust of various tribes in him or faced the threat of his force to gather these large and small tribes together in a short time, Once some external force breaks this balance that can be maintained, even Touman would not dare to imagine it.
In fact, Touman will set up granaries every other distance on this road, saying that the granaries are just a moving tribe, and the cattle and sheep in the tribe are their best supplies, Li Mu has fought with the Xiongnu for more than ten years, and it can be said that the Huns hate him how much he understands the Xiongnu.
Along the way, they have destroyed no less than ten such strongholds, but this is still far from enough, Tou Man obviously has a clear sense of the supply of cattle and sheep in the army, and the several waves of patrols sent from him to the rear are the best proof, but he obviously attaches more importance to the war in Yanmen Pass, relying on his own method of reducing food can still support for a month, Li Mu understands that he must hit his sore spot so that he can break the collapse of the grassland coalition army, without food, everything is empty talk.
Li Mu looked at the valley in the distance, this should be the place where the most food is stored, and it is also the last fortress they faced, this valley has a lot of steep slopes on both sides, it is difficult for the cavalry to advance, even if they can rush forward to face those strange people in strange armor, they will always fail miserably, not to mention that in the distance, the condescending arrows of the wolf people pose a greater threat to them.
In front of the valley, the elite golden fire cavalry had left behind a hundred corpses, and the messy corpses made them even more powerless against the fortress in front.
"Sir." Wang Chong didn't call him a general because he thought it would lose his dignity as a Qin general, he said with a deep worry and exhaustion in his eyes, and even his physical strength was greatly drained by the repeated attacks.
"I see."
Li Mu waved his hand, "Stop attacking." ”
"It's not a way to go on like this, the Golden Fire Cavalry has consumed too much."
Li Mu looked at the tired but still mighty cavalry in the pupils behind him, this was a journey of death, since the moment they stepped on the grassland, they had left nearly three hundred men and horses one after another.
"Dismount."
Wang Chong looked at the determination in Li Mu's eyes and was in awe, and he personally put a set of armor of the Golden Fire Cavalry on Li Mu's body.
Horse battles turned into foot battles, and even after dismounting, they were still the most elite infantry in the world, and Wang Chong firmly believed that even the golden fire cavalry behind him thought so.
Under the leadership of Li Mu, hundreds of golden fire cavalry formed a sharp array, countless shields resisted their deadliest places, and countless soldiers hid in the entire protected area.
If you look at it from a high altitude, you will find that this is an unusually strict formation, and it is a simplified version of the Wei Wushu phalanx, but this still can't withstand too many attacks.
The thunder momentum of the Driftwood Rolling Stone Carrier slammed into the front of the phalanx, and many of the Qin troops in front of them were knocked away, but the Qin army behind them was immediately made up, although the injuries were not small, but the entire formation was not chaotic at all.
They were not far from the entrance to the valley, and it was because of this that the enemy attacks became more and more ferocious, and they paid a heavy price for each step they took.
Li Mu came out through the gap in the armor, and the Zhenyue sword in his hand scattered out, he was originally a master, although he was older, but his swordsmanship was more exquisite, and the sword shot out, and several wolf people around him died in his hands without defense.
"Kill."
The countless golden fire cavalry had already killed the red eyes, and the anger that had accumulated in their chests was completely ignited at this time.
The defeat of the wolf clan was inevitable, and even the Romans, who had just posed a great threat to the Qin army, were retreating in an orderly manner under the command of the commander at this time.
In the distance, the bright red cloaks of the Qin army spread like flames in the valley.
"Whoever retreats from battle, die."
A wolf man who appeared to be the leader placed his scimitar on the Roman man's neck.
The broad-handled heavy sword in his hand split the scimitar, and the men and horses on both sides were already facing each other, and they had the urge to do it at any moment.
"Do you really want to kill each other?"
"Saving you from the desert is not for you to take revenge."
"Of course, we are not the ones who will take revenge, and many brothers in Rome have remained forever in this foreign land, and what we owe has been paid off."
......
......
Li Xi had fallen on the way to charge at this time, his entire chest had been strangely dented, he was one of the few people in the forefront of the entire formation, his chest had been completely sunken, but he was not dead at this time.
His guards were busy around him at this time, and there was a sharp long hair behind him, and the armor on his body had already been stained red with blood, and everyone knew that what this guard had done was in vain.
"Have you taken it?" Blood ran down his neck.
The soldier looked at the wolves and aliens who had gradually retreated in the distance, and did not speak, but nodded heavily.
"My promise to the general has been fulfilled."
Then he died
Resistance continued in the distance, but it was an indisputable fact that the valley had been taken.
A small number of wolf people saw that the situation was not good, and put down the weapons in their hands very interestingly, but what greeted them was still death, as Li Mu said, they don't need to be captured now, what they need is the blood of the wolf people, to satisfy the desire for the sword in their hands.
From this side of the valley, the wolves in the distance mingled with the Romans, retreating towards the vast meadows in the distance.
Li Mu no longer plans to chase anymore, his goal has been achieved, what he needs most now is time, this valley is a herd of cattle and sheep enough to supply Touman's army for half a year, the valley came from the wail of cattle and sheep, countless arrows shot down cattle and sheep killed and injured, the valley was lit by the fire oil spread everywhere, and the raging fire imprinted half of the sky.
They had destroyed the grain storage and had not stopped any longer than to bring a small amount of food, and they had even left the Yanmen Pass faster than they had left, for they were now bound to face the mad revenge of Touman.
