It took Shurya only two and a half days to cross the Tih Desert and reach the Nayler Mountains, which was not something that an ordinary general could do. Although the Tih Desert www.biquge.info not very large, the cavalry had to pass through this desert in such a short time without any deviation in direction, and even the shepherds who lived here all year round had difficulties, not to mention that Shurya was a general who had been guarding the northern border for the first half of his life. From this it can be seen that Shurya not only commanded his troops well, but also did his homework, even if this route was not at all used in his strategic vision at all.

Shurya also had the right timing, as it was sunset when the troops marched into the Naylor Mountains, so that the troops could use the night to pass through the Mahabi Trail and avoid the possibility of being spotted by the enemy as much as possible.

The Mahabi Trail is not technically a road because, like the other Bulon Trail, it was stepped on by sheep shepherds in the course of years of grazing. Since there is only some vegetation on the Nayler Mountains within a radius of several hundred miles, the herdsmen naturally gather here, hence the two trails. Compared to the Bulon Trail, the Mahabi Trail is much easier to walk, and as long as the Nayler Mountains are out of the Mahabi Trail, then there is only half a day's journey from the Fortress of Tours.

However, since there are only two roads to take, it is very likely that the Palci army will set up a checkpoint here, especially if they set up an ambush in the mountain pass. Therefore, Shurya sent the most elite sentinels to explore the way in front, and also sent elite cavalry to ensure the way back, and once the situation was found to be unsuitable for him, various countermeasures could be taken in the shortest possible time. To advance while exploring the path while maintaining the rapid passage of troops is probably something that only a veteran like Shurya can do.

However, things were much simpler than he had expected, and by the time the moon rose, the advance of the troops was going well, and no Palchi outposts were found along the way.

Is it because you are too worried? Shurya couldn't help but be a little happy: it seems that he overestimated Li Tianhao, if he didn't encounter a single checkpoint in the middle of the night, then it was enough to show that Li Tianhao was too negligent about this trail, because even if a checkpoint was set up in the south of the Nayler Mountains, it would be too late for the Tur Fortress to react in time.

In the middle of the night, Shurya finally found the first outpost, because there was a faint fire on the mountain road, and there would be no shepherds grazing in this season, so it must be the Palchi army stationed here. Shurya signaled his vanguard to quietly outflank and kill the opponent, while he himself led the army to follow.

Suddenly, Shurya felt that something was not right, because he noticed that the light of the fire actually glowed green, what did this change mean? Just as he was thinking this, all of a sudden, countless fires appeared on the hills on both sides, and the sky was suddenly lit up in half.

"Not good! There is an ambush! Shurya understood the mystery in an instant, and the green light was the signal for an attack!

But by this time it was too late, and countless torches had already been thrown at the Arubanian army, and by the light of the fire, the ambushed Palchi army had fired countless arrows!

In the darkness, it was impossible to discern how many troops the other side had, and the cavalry was suddenly in disarray.

"Don't mess around! Stay defensive! Exit and go! Exit and go! Shurya commanded. But he understood that this time the matter was very dangerous, and from the sound of the bowstrings rattling, he judged that the other side had at least three thousand men, and that if he wanted to withdraw the cavalry that had been drawn into a long snake formation on this terrain, he would inevitably suffer heavy casualties. Fortunately, the number of enemy troops is not very large, and it is impossible to attack all of their troops at the same time, so the troops behind should not suffer losses, so the top priority is to ensure a retreat and withdraw from the battlefield.

However, Shurya was wrong, his rearguard had not yet been attacked, but that was only because the Palci army had not yet begun to attack.

The battle was commanded by Palci's famous general, Müller. As early as when Li Tianhao sent troops to Agoba, he had already arranged for Mueller to take 5,000 people to garrison these two trails. It is precisely because of this that only 60,000 of Li Tianhao's 65,000 people actually arrived on the battlefield.

Muller set up secret posts on both paths, and every day he used fireworks as a signal during the day and lights at night, but he did the opposite, as long as the enemy did not come, he would send a signal, and once he found the traces of the enemy, as long as he did not send a signal on time to contact the rear, it was easy to learn about the enemy's movements. Therefore, as early as when Shurya entered the Nayler Mountains, Muller had already learned of his arrival, and waited for Shurya to throw himself into the net.

At this moment, Müller beat the Arubanian cavalry with the random fire of 3,000 archers and had to retreat. Mueller saw by the light of the fire that although the other party was attacked, it was still not chaotic, and retreated in an orderly manner despite heavy casualties, and nodded secretly in his heart. But Müller did not want to let the enemy go unpunished, and he immediately ordered a fire to be raised to signal the troops in charge of the interception.

Although the force responsible for the interception was only 500 men, it deserves to be written in the history of Palci, because there were 300 musketeers. These firecrackers were ordered by Li Tianhao to work overtime to produce them in the past year, and secretly equipped and trained them. Although there were only 300 of them, it was the first time that the weapon was used in the actual combat of the Palchi army.

The Arubanian cavalry, who were in charge of the rearguard, suddenly noticed hundreds of small firefly-like bright spots popping up on both sides of the road, and then suddenly there was a burst of fire, and countless loud noises almost deafened their ears, and a large number of people were shot and fell.

The cavalrymen, who were confused for a while, did not even know what had happened to them, and the fear that rose from the bottom of their hearts was understandable. In particular, the horses on which they were riding were frightened by the loud noise, and began to neigh and run for no apparent reason, ignoring the cries of the riders, and the rear troops of Arubania were thrown into disarray. At this time, the fire broke out again, and another group of people fell. Now the cavalry understood that they had been attacked by the enemy, but they did not know what kind of weapon the opponent was using.

The cavalry tried to break out of the enemy's encirclement, but the horses under the crotch did not obey the command at all, and the frantic horses began to scurry around, and the retreat of the entire Arubanian army became a mess because of this situation. (To be continued.) )
