Chapter 148: 5 The Battle of Shabokou (2)

Chereel was a prudent man, and he made some reconnaissance before committing his forces to attack Shabakou, and after confirming that there was nothing out of the ordinary, he sent only about 3,000 men to attack—enough troops to take Shabakou, but without attracting much attention from the Heza army.

Perhaps because of the father-son relationship, Timon seemed to be very adept at dealing with this temptation, and he completely abandoned the defenders of Shabakou and allowed them to be completely eaten by the Cheelje army, thus convincing Cheral that his raid had been a complete success.

It wasn't until Cheel brought his main force to Sha Bokou to try to start the next move that he found that the situation was a little strange - if Sha Bokou was lost, then the news would soon reach Hesa's ears, even if Hesa was not in Dragon City at the moment, the only generals who stayed in Dragon City would definitely not sit idly by, at least they would send rangers to find out how many Che Lie's troops were and what to do next, but now everything was too quiet, so quiet that it seemed that they already knew that their target was Sha Bokou.

Hit the trick! Che Erlie made such a judgment at the first moment. With his understanding of his son, if Timon had seen through his plan, then he would definitely not hide his plan at this point, but would rush towards him as fast as possible!

"Withdraw immediately! Fast! Chereel shouted loudly.

Because the order came so suddenly, many of the soldiers of the Cheer army were confused. But even though Chereel reacted quickly, Timon was ahead of him.

"Report! Hesa led 20,000 men to attack our army's flank from the west side of Shabokou! ”

"Report! Temon led 20,000 troops from the south side of Shabokou to march rapidly towards our army! ”

"Report! Gao Dingbian and the army of 40,000 silk countries are attacking from the east! ”

"Report! Lu Mingxian led 8,000 cavalry to cover up from the rear of our army! ”

So soon, son, is this going to kill your father? Cheriel said in his heart. On the surface, the Cherriel army has been caught in the allied attack of the Raider Silk Country, but in fact, before the other party's encirclement is formed, the Chelel still has time to break through, and the question is which direction to break through.

According to ordinary people's thinking, Lu Mingxian, who cut off the rear route of the Cherli army, has the weakest troops, and it is the most normal choice to break through to the north. However, Cheel did not think so, he understood that this must be a plan set up by Themon, and its purpose was to use the mobility of the cavalry to continuously oppress the Cheel army, so that the defeated and fleeing Cheel army fell into a scattered situation, so as to further achieve the purpose of cutting off the connection between the various divisions of the Cheel army, and finally the Cheel army that became a straggler would be eaten by the coalition army.

There were three reasons for Chereel's decision to break through to the southwest: first, because the army was personally led by the Great Khan of Tukhi, and his forces were not the most powerful, and if he could use his superiority in strength to threaten Heza, then he could force Timon to come to the rescue quickly, so that it would be possible for the Cherli army to find a breakthrough on the southern side; Second, if Heza tried to hold him back, then Cheerel could retreat directly from the west, for it was foreseeable that if he moved fast enough, it would be impossible for Gao Dingbian, with the main force of infantry, to catch up with him; Third, whether it is from the southwest or from the south, as long as the encirclement can be highlighted, then Cherel can divide a part of his troops to attack the surrounding tribes, so as to confuse the public and create a chance for himself to escape and fight again at another day.

Cheelre's actions were swift, after all, the survival of the entire army was at stake. But when he came into contact with the 20,000 men of Heza and started a battle, he was surprised to find that he was not facing the army of Tukhi, but the army of the Silk Country!

This shocking reality stunned Chereel, and he couldn't believe that the dignified Great Khan Hesa was leading 20,000 infantry from the Silk Country! The next moment he realized that he had been around for a long time and was still in his son's way. The so-called encirclement on all sides is actually completely different from what he imagined, originally he thought that Hesa divided the 40,000 people under his control into two units, led by himself and Timon, but in fact they were afraid that they divided the 60,000 troops of Gao Dingbian equally, and each led 20,000 infantry to take action, and no matter which direction he broke through from the east to the west and south, he would eventually encounter the opponent's infantry interception, and the real person responsible for covering the back was Gao Dingbian himself and the Tuqi cavalry troops in his hands.

It was really a sinister plan, and after Che Erlie realized the mystery, he immediately changed his plan, intending to get rid of the entanglement of the Hesa tribe in the shortest possible time, and directly break out of the siege from the southwest.

Apparently not intending to let Cherel succeed, he led 20,000 infantry to intercept and build a new line of defense. In this respect, the army of the Silk Country is clearly the expert on the entire continent, and they have far more experience in interdicting cavalry units than the armies of other countries, and ironically it is the mighty Tukchi cavalry who have trained them so skillfully.

The cavalry that swept down the Thorough Column like locust feathers and arrows shot by the crossbowmen of the Silk Country was like a large pumping machine, constantly eating away at the flanks of the Thorough Army, and what it pumped out was blood and human lives.

In order to break out of the encirclement under the noses of the enemy, more than 3,000 soldiers of the Cherliet army fell on the battlefield of Shabokou, but this was not the worst of all, just when Cherel was almost completely free from the entanglement of Heza, the next bad news came: the army of Themon appeared in the rear of his left flank!

With his keen instincts, Timon was aware of his father's impending action before the other two armies, so he immediately took countermeasures, and if it weren't for the fact that the infantry of the Silk Country couldn't move fast, he would probably have formed a line of defense ahead of the Chel Column.

Timon knew that his infantry-based corps could not really entangle the Cheel army, so unlike Hesa, he only wanted to tear off a piece of flesh from the other party's body, and of course the bigger the meat, the better. Teemon formed a pincer offensive with his outstanding joint command, and tore down a force of about 5,000 men on the left flank of the Cheerlie's army who were trying to escape, and at this time Cheelje could no longer take care of this divided army, because he knew that if it dragged on any longer, then Gao Dingbian and Lu Mingxian would come, and there was less and less time left for him.
