Without the drag of the old and weak, women and children, this kind of pure march does not know how much easier, not to mention Lao Luo, a pure cavalry who does not need a supply team, only after an afternoon and most of the night of regular marching, the combat team of more than 2,000 people finally arrived at the preset location, and when they arrived, even the moon hung in the western sky, and the east began to glow white.

This time the camp was also not far from the river, but unlike the day before, it was surrounded by gentle slopes that were not very undulating, the river was much wider, and the nearby turf was much wider than the day before, except that the biggest difference was that there were patches of woods, which stretched for at least tens of kilometers.

Lao Luo's team was camped in a depression behind a gentle slope, sheltered by trees and dirt slopes above, and away from the road. More than ten miles to the southeast are the best river shoals, and the middle section is large enough to accommodate at least 100,000 men—and the speed and route of the Ghaznavids is undoubtedly the best resting area, and certainly the best battlefield site that Lao Luo estimated.

The surrounding area of the station is said to be woods, shrubs and dwarf trees, but there are not many tall trees like primeval forests, and at the same time, the forest ground here is not covered with fallen leaves and humus like a tropical rainforest, but mostly sandy alluvial plain geology, and there are not even any large stones, Lao Luo picked up a dry dry branch on the ground and poked the ground hard, "The soil here seems to be very suitable for cavalry assault, it seems that we have chosen a good place." ”

"Yes, Lord." In this battle, Nuralman was left in the main camp, and following Lao Luo was the pro-army team led by Olki, and the only one who could answer was naturally this guy who had been by Lao Luo's side for the longest time, and he was also looking around at the surrounding environment, "There are too many of these bushes, although it is very troublesome to set up camp defense, it is even more troublesome to the enemy's scouts." ”

"That's right! Therefore, there is no need to set up camp in a circle of defense as usual, and the best way to camp in the woods is to mix yourself in the surrounding trees, and these thorny branches are perfect for fencing. Lao Luo couldn't help but remember that when he first arrived in this space, he also used bushes to make a ring in the woods on the hillside in East Africa, but there was no need to do it himself here, and there was a natural shrub wall.

Of course, there are also disadvantages, such as the woods are by no means suitable for fast horseback travel, and when entering and exiting they must be detoured slowly, and if necessary, they must lead the horses on foot, and pay attention to an even more fatal defect - if detected by the enemy, this is the best fire trap.

However, a guy like Lao Luo, who is used to taking the initiative to attack, can't let his people fall into that kind of passive environment.

"Lord, the rest areas of the soldiers have been arranged!" Gonzhas finished arranging what he was doing and ran over again.

"How?" Lao Luo glanced at Gonzas, and found that although this guy's face looked a little tired, his eyes were very bright, and it seemed that this kind of thing was good to describe these old men who were born gladiators.

"According to what the general said, there will be no tents for camping this time, and everyone is only allowed to wear blankets for their clothes, and they will be scattered and camped in songs!" Gonzhas repeated the main point of the camp, "No fire, no drinking water, no loud noise, no horses more than fifty paces from him......"

This guy seems to be really proficient, Lao Luo listened to Gonzas's 1510 narration of the situation of camping, and there was really nothing missing, "How is Alke's side?" Why didn't you see him coming? ”

"I guess I'm still busy......" Gonzhas took off his helmet, scratched at his itchy scalp, and asked tentatively, "Lord, are we too far from the woods?" ”

"How can it be far away with only two miles (Romani)? It's troublesome if it's close to the roadside, and the Ghaznavid scouts can see it at a glance, and at this distance I'm worried that there will be a sound coming out...... "Fortunately, this is an empty semi-hilly terrain, if there are high mountains, it will be troublesome, and the echoes of the mountains across more than ten miles may be heard." Lao Luo was never afraid of his subordinates asking questions, but he was worried that if they didn't know how to pretend to understand, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble.

"Understood, Lord!" Gonzhas didn't care about anything else, but for war-related things, he never missed anything, and he had a very good understanding, and Lao Luo chose him to be the chief general of the cavalry school not a matter of face, although he was the core figure among the dozen Thracians in the team.

Lao Luo saw that the sky was already bright, remembered a key matter, and immediately said to Gonzas: "There is a key matter, which must be done immediately, and the footprints before we entered the forest just now must be covered." ”

"Do you want to erase those traces? I'll go! Gonzhas heard this and immediately turned to leave.

"Don't worry, wait until I'm done!" Lao Luo hurriedly stopped the quick-tempered guy, "You order two songs, find a fine person to take them out on horseback for a run, the route is from the place where we enter the forest to the shallows of the river, when we run, the formation should be scattered, one or two back and forth is enough, and then when you come back into the forest, clean the footprints at the entrance with branches and other things." ”

There is no need to explain this kind of thing in detail, a few points are mentioned, and the people under him naturally have a guy from Orion, maybe it is better than Lao Luo taking someone to do it himself.

There is no way, if you want to ambush others, you must first hide your own traces, and you must plan how to deal with various situations, otherwise like the Pasar in Dhamgan, you can only die and become a joke at someone else's table. What's more, for Lao Luo, the current situation is not just a matter of personal life and fame, but the fate of tens of thousands of people.

sent his subordinates to be busy, and Lao Luo himself was not idle.

Climb to the top of a tall tree, use binoculars to look around the surrounding terrain, and at the same time rely on the perception of mental power, constantly observe the various conditions around the camp, no way, before the cavalry team under his command really has the ability to fight independently, in the face of all kinds of grinding, some cheating methods can only be used as tools.

Although Lao Luo has storage space, although his combat power is extraordinary, and he also has spiritual power, which is also a legend, Lao Luo does not often use it for his army groups, after all, considering the development problem, it is inevitable that there will be wars in which he is not present in the future, and at that time, his subordinates who are accustomed to participating in logistics and warning are likely to become unsuitable for war. Therefore, he still required all soldiers to carry their own equipment and supplies with them, and cultivated a special scout team, which was not just to hide people's eyes.

As for himself, he has trained his mental power sensing to be as skilled as his five senses, which has a bit of a physical instinct, and the storage space with him has also been fully utilized, although it has not been expanded again since the change in Ankara, but the speed and skill of use have also improved enough. Just like in his later life, he was proficient in all kinds of vehicles to travel, and skilled in using all kinds of weapons to kill.

Just as Lao Luo kept scanning the scenery on the other side of the river, there were some unexpected changes in the direction of the shallows by the river in the psychic induction, and he hurriedly turned the telescope around, the distance of the telepathy was only a kilometer radius, although the telescope in his hand was only a simple folding military telescope that was seven times the standard, but the effective viewing distance still far exceeded the scope of mental induction.

Seven or eight warriors in scout leather armor galloped towards the camp, they maintained a semicircular arc, and the middle ring supported four guys dressed as Turks, and the scouts could be seen riding their horses, while still turning back and shouting something, two of the guys who were escorted in the middle were obviously physically exhausted or injured lying on horseback, and a few hundred meters in front of this group was the Liangqu warrior who Lao Luo ordered Gonzhas to send out to cover up their traces.

And at a distance of three or four hundred meters behind this small group, there was a group of knights who were also galloping on horseback, and their number was also small, only more than thirty people, and these people were not so neatly dressed, with pointed hats, barrel hats, bowled hats, and the like being the most significant difference, and the rest were wearing armor and short robes of the Turkic style, and they were all shouting loudly with weapons in their hands, and the men with bows and arrows were still trying to fire their bows and arrows on the back of the bumpy horses. It's just that their opponents did not lose their vigilance even when they were fleeing, and shaking their bodies from side to side was already the most basic action, and some horses were nimble and obedient and even ran out of irregular line changes.

When the thirty or so pursuers were stubbornly chasing after the fleeing guys, several strange tree trunks suddenly appeared on the sides of the trade road that they had not had time to pay attention to in their hurry, and then those "tree trunks" sprayed the "branches" on their branches like monsters in the wilderness.

A dozen unlucky fellows were sluggish for a few seconds, and then suddenly rolled over from the horse, and then saw their bodies rolling irregularly on the ground, like discarded rag dolls, and some of the guys who were shot by arrows lay down directly on the horse's back, and the blades that were still in their hands a moment ago fell uncontrollably on the dusty dirt road.

A few war horses inexplicably suddenly stepped on the front hooves of the air, and then the body was planted forward, and the knight who was still shouting on the horseback planted his head down in an instant, and when the fallen horses were lying on the ground and struggling, the necks of two unlucky ghosts were twisted abnormally, and although the limbs looked normal, they obviously didn't even have convulsions......

Because of the distance, Lao Luo, who climbed on the tree to observe, was like seeing a silent film in the west of the later generations, although there was no sound, but what was hidden in this quiet picture was a cold slaughter.

The first formal cold weapon war that Lao Luo was looking forward to in a semi-hurry was about to begin.
