Chapter Ninety-Eight: Hide and Seek in the Desert

After arranging the affairs of the Black Rose Merchant Group, Hu Li took 300 cavalry and General Kevin's 500 cavalry on the road, and the pillar would catch up quickly after delivering the letter.

Princess Anne and Hu Li rode forward side by side, listening to Hu Li describe the customs of the Han Dynasty in a colorful way, and Hu Li also told Princess Anne some jokes from time to time, making Princess Anne giggle.

Hu Li and his party were hurrying along the Yu Ning River, and after a few days of driving, Hu Li suddenly found himself and others surrounded by a cavalry of about 5,000 through the vision of the golden eagle. Hu Li quickly informed General Kevin of this incident, and through Hu Li's description of the person in charge, General Kevin immediately learned that this was the Great Prince.

Although I don't know how Hu Li found out about the eldest prince who is more than forty miles away, it is impossible for Hu Li to lie to them, because Hu Li has never seen the eldest prince, how can he know the specific appearance of the eldest prince, so what Hu Li said must be true. General Kevin thought of the magic of Hu Li's instant learning of Wusun Chinese, and looked at Hu Li with more respect, as if facing the wisest prophet of his own country.

The situation was urgent, and General Kevin immediately ordered his troops to prepare to break through to the east, perhaps because there was a vast desert to the east, and the Great Prince's arrangement in the east was a little weaker, and this was the only direction for them to break through. Hu Li's cavalry and General Kevin's cavalry were both elite, and they were quickly prepared to kill together to the east.

The eldest prince of Wusun thought that his arrangement was perfect, and when General Kevin led his army out of the city, he ordered his army to secretly come to the west city and return to Wusun to ambush him. The reason why the eldest prince has maintained a state of confrontation with the second prince and has not taken any action is that he is waiting for this opportunity to kill the second prince's biggest backer, General Kevin.

Now you can still catch Princess Anne, and then you can set a trap to lure the national teacher and the second prince to come, and then kill them one by one, and the Wusun Kingdom will be completely controlled by the eldest prince. But how could the eldest prince have thought that General Kevin invited Hu Li and the others to accompany him, and Hu Li discovered that they were forming an encirclement forty miles away, and saw at a glance that the place leading to the desert to the east was the only weakness of this encirclement.

In fact, the eldest prince didn't want to make up for this weakness, but because the lack of water in the desert was very serious, in order not to show the flaws, they have been ambushing General Kevin since he entered the main West City, and now they have been ambushed for more than a month. Because the fresh water was not enough to support more than 1,000 cavalry, he withdrew several hundred cavalry not long ago, and now there are only about 800 cavalry in the east.

But the eldest prince was not too worried about this, as long as more than 800 horsemen entangled General Kevin for a moment and a half, then their more than 4,000 horsemen could quickly complete the encirclement and wipe out General Kevin and his party. It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and General Kevin, at the suggestion of Hu Li, directly led all the cavalry to break through to the east.

Although the number of men on both sides was also 800 cavalry, General Kevin and Hu Li's troops were obviously much more elite, plus Hu Li and General Kevin took the lead and were unstoppable. When the eldest prince arrived with more than 4,000 horsemen, General Kevin and Hu Li and his party had already left.

Of course, the eldest prince did not want to fall short, and hurriedly ordered a pursuit. But Hu Li and the others were divided into two roads, and the eldest prince had to follow and divide the troops, Hu Li had a high-altitude vision of the golden eagle, commanding the army that was sent into two ways and the eldest prince turned in circles. When night fell, all the forces of Huli and General Kevin were united, while the Grand Prince's army was divided into three parts.

After a few days of going around like this, the troops of Hu Li and General Kevin were still intact, while the troops of the Great Prince were in a mess, and they could not find soldiers, and soldiers could not find generals. And now both sides are facing a serious problem, that is, they are not carrying much water, although the three elephants in Hu Li's pet space, there is still a lot of stored water on the backs of the two left, but it can't withstand a few days.

You must know that now there are 800 people, nearly 2,000 horses, and the war horses can still eat some plants in the desert to quench their thirst, while Hu Li and the others can only drink water, and the only few water sources in the desert are also occupied and consumed by the people of the great prince.

After Hu Li told General Kevin about the situation, General Kevin, who had been worried about the matter, made a plan for a night attack with Hu Li. With the guidance of high-altitude vision, coupled with the chaos of the Great Prince's army, the night attack formulated by Hu Li and General Kevin was very successful, although the Great Prince personally guarded the road out of the desert, but still allowed Hu Li and the others to successfully break through.

After Hu Li and his party drove for a night and a day, they had left the eldest prince's army dozens of miles behind them, and after finding that the eldest prince's army had stopped through a high-altitude vision, Hu Li and General Kevin also ordered the army to camp and rest.

Now they had two or three days to return to the Khotan River, and everyone saw hope, and the fatigue of many days was swept away after a few large sipes of water. At this time, Hu Li had already taken out all the water in the pet space and distributed it to everyone.

Hu Li's magical magic and generosity won the unanimous approval of General Kevin's subordinates, and if it weren't for the fact that they were all warriors with strong beliefs, and Hu Li's performance had nothing to do with the gods they believed in, it is estimated that they would have already begun to worship Hu Li.

Since these two breakouts were directly attacked by the enemy's weak points, only a few of Huli's 300 cavalry were slightly wounded, and now almost all of them have recovered, while General Kevin's side has lost a few dozen men.

There are two reasons for this situation, the first is because General Kevin took the initiative to ask their cavalry to take the lead, after all, Hu Li was invited by them to come, and it was also Hu Li's magical golden eagle that brought them a way to live, and General Kevin's move protected Hu Li's three hundred cavalry very well. The second is that Hu Li's 300 cavalry all have a relatively light layer of iron armor behind the leather armor, which is also an important defense measure to protect them.

With the high-altitude vision of Hu Li's golden eagle and owl as a warning, General Kevin and Hu Li were also very considerate of everyone, and only arranged a few night guards, telling them to pay attention to the movements of the golden eagle and owl before letting the others go to rest. Hearing the commander's order, everyone who had not rested much in the past few days slept very peacefully, but they didn't expect that this paralyzing and careless move would soon bring trouble to Hu Li and his party.
