Chapter 576: Jiangtai
Nights always pass so quickly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info The Praetorian Guard soldier who returned to the camp said that he had just closed his eyes, and it was already dawn, and he had slept for an hour longer than usual. However, even after an extra hour, there were still many soldiers who endured the pain on their bodies and crawled out of the bed very reluctantly.
This night was so short for them. But for those who are in the Karma Oasis, the night is so long!
The eldest prince's tent was finally opened, and the eldest prince's movements immediately woke up the people outside the tent.
"Your Highness! What are the commands? ”
The eldest prince looked at the soldiers around him, as if nothing had happened yesterday.
"Hmm......" The eldest prince was stunned for a moment, and the eldest prince didn't expect such a situation to occur no matter how well-informed he was! That, how many soldiers are there in the battalion? ”
"Back to Your Highness. Three thousand four hundred and twenty-eight! ”
"Three thousand four hundred and twenty-eight?" The eldest prince lost his mind. I thought that when I woke up, I would become a loner, but none of them left!
"In that case, then prepare to eat, and when you are full, prepare to fight!"
"Yes!"
――――
On the other side, in the camp of the Praetorian Guard. Ma Chao, Ding Chong, General Janissaries and General Quan gathered together.
"In yesterday's battle, the eldest prince had no strength to resist. Today's army can take down the Great Prince in one fell swoop. ”
After a night's rest, although everyone was still very tired, everyone was quite happy at the thought that this war could be completely ended today.
"General Ding is right! General, give the order! "Here, it is still the general of the Praetorian Guard who is in charge, and General Quan, as Dawan's own person, is supported by him, which is more powerful!
"General, there is a word below!" Suddenly, Ma Chao stood up.
"General Ma, please speak!" Ma Chao's general Zhengbei is currently the highest-ranking general under Cao De, and his gold content is much higher than that of Dawan's Praetorian Guard.
"In yesterday's battle, our infantry suffered heavy losses and suffered great losses. In this battle, our infantry still don't want to fight. First, the infantry needs to rest; Second, yesterday's battlefield still needs to be cleaned. This battle can be fought by our cavalry! ”
After hearing this, the Praetorian Guard General thought for a while, nodded and said, "General Ma is reasonable. In today's battle, our army is bound to win against the eldest prince. If only the cavalry fights, it can also be a thunderous blow. ”
Let's not talk about Ma Chao's strategy, since Ma Chao has spoken, how can I save enough face for Ma Chao.
"General Quan, the battalion will be handed over to you, and the matter of cleaning up the battlefield will also get rid of the general!"
General Quan immediately got up, bowed down and clenched his fists, "The last general obeys the order!" ”
"General, there's one more thing down there!" Just as everyone was about to leave, Ding Chong suddenly said to the Praetorian Guard general.
"What else is going on with General Ding?"
"On this expedition, Ding was awarded a heavy army by the king and commanded 5,000 cavalry of the Praetorian Guard. Now, my big man has arrived. It is also time to return military power. As Ding Chong spoke, he took out a talisman from his arms, "Please take the talisman!" ”
"General Ding, no! Since this talisman was handed over to the general by the king. The general should also be returned to the king. "Whoever gives it to you, you give it to whom. What are you doing to me? Moreover, this talisman was given to Ding Chong by King Dawan, if the general of the Praetorian Guard took it back like this, wouldn't it mean that he would question King Dawan's decision.
"General. I know the general's intentions. However, this cavalry was also subordinate to the Praetorian Guard. The general is the commander of the three armies of the Praetorian Guard, and it is understandable to take back the cavalry talisman. In fact, the reason why Ding Chong wanted to return the talisman was not as he said. But the army is about to go to war, and it is better to command the infantry under him and not fight. The Han cavalry under the command of Ma Chao naturally would not listen to the orders of this Dawan general. Therefore, in order not to let the honorable general become a bare-bones commander, Ding Chong can only return the talisman!
However, the general of the Praetorian Guard still hesitated and refused to accept the charm, and Ding Chong continued: "General, although I have been in contact with the knights for many days, it is the general who knows the knights best. Now the whole general needs to be in charge of the affairs of the battalion, and the only one who can give full play to the maximum combat power of this cavalry is the general. For the sake of the big war, the general still don't shirk! ”
At this point, the Praetorian Guard general has no reason to refuse. "In that case, then after the war, the talisman will be returned to the general!"
"Without further ado, let the army go at once!" For the sake of a talisman, the two of you have been torn off for so long, Ma Chao is impatient to wait!
Not long after, a cavalry of nearly 10,000 people drove out of the camp. Although when the eldest prince fled yesterday, Ma Chao saw the eldest prince's strength clearly, and according to various intelligence analysis, the eldest prince's existing troops would definitely not be too much, but in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Ma Chao still decided to dispatch the whole army.
The speed of the cavalry was beyond doubt. Moreover, without the drag of the infantry, the cavalry has no constraints.
And just as Ma Chao and the Praetorian Guards began to move, the spies sent by the eldest prince who were lurking outside the camp immediately returned.
Although the two sides are moving in the opposite direction, the spies who are single-handedly are much faster than Ma Chao and the others who are marching in the army.
"Your Highness! The Praetorian Guard is on duty! ”
"How many people are coming?"
"Ten thousand rides!"
"Hehe, I really look up to His Highness!" The eldest prince laughed at himself and waved his hand, "Got it, go down!" ”
"Someone!"
"Your Highness!" One of the guards got into the eldest prince's tent after the sentry rode out.
"Command the three armies! Soldiers! ”
"Yes!" The guards answered the order, opened the tent and went out.
"Your Highness has an order, the generals will be ordered! His Royal Highness has an order, and the troops will be ordered! The guards ran as they conveyed the Prince's orders.
Since the massacre last night, all the soldiers who were still in this oasis had spontaneously gathered around the eldest prince's tent, which saved the guard a lot of trouble.
The soldiers were rapidly assembling, but the eldest prince in the tent walked to the back. Just two words! "Wear armor!"
The princess immediately picked up the armor of the eldest prince and dressed the eldest prince gently.
"Your Highness, I haven't seen the princess in a military uniform for a long time! Today, how is the princess and Her Royal Highness on the battlefield? ”
In the past, the princess also followed the eldest prince to attend many occasions. And this armor was only worn by the princess a few times when the two of them were alone. But today, this is the first time that the eldest prince has taken the initiative to ask the princess to go into battle.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward!"
A moment later, the prince and princess, dressed in military uniforms, appeared in front of the sergeants.
"Hooray! Banzai! Long live Your Highness! Long live the princess! ”
……
The soldiers' chanting was higher and higher, and the eldest prince calmly pulled the princess and strode towards the platform.
It's been a long time since the eldest prince has personally put on the battle. They hadn't seen that armor in a long time. Many veterans still vaguely remember that the last time the eldest prince wore this armor, it was also here, in the Karma Oasis!
"The Praetorian Guard has set off! Over here! Shodai! This is where His Highness is. Soldiers listen to the order and line up! Meet the enemy! ”
