Chapter 41: True Intent
(Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for dream tickets)
Because there were not many horses in the army, and the combat effectiveness of the reconnaissance cavalry was too far from the combat effectiveness of the reconnaissance cavalry under Zheli, Doarik did not even dare to send reconnaissance cavalry to investigate the situation of Qindong's camp, so he could only send heavy troops to guard around the camp and strictly prevent Qin Dong from leading troops to attack at night, so he stayed up all night without saying anything until dawn the next day.
Qin Dong didn't have much pressure at all about using three hundred Hun cavalry to fight the two thousand rabble of Doarik, although there were three hundred archers in the opposing army, he was just worried about whether Oristes had other followers.
After breakfast in the morning, Qin Dong inspected the camp, and it didn't take long for Zheli to return with all his scouts, and he reported: "My lord, Doarik's army has moved, and he and Oristes have commanded all the troops to press on our side!" ”
This situation made Qin Dong stunned, what did Oristes want to do? Push yourself away? Or a showdown with yourself? If it is to force himself away, isn't it different from Oristes' wishes? Oristes' goal is himself, not his army, and if he leaves, isn't he doing it for nothing? If he wants to fight himself, why does he think he will fight him? I don't understand!
Qin Dong was confused by Oristes' actions, you must know that this guy wants to get rid of him, not just to prevent himself from getting through, what is the purpose of pressing up with a large army like this?
In fact, Qin Dong didn't understand Olistes' intentions, although Olistes wanted to get rid of Qin Dong, but if he really couldn't get rid of it, he would eradicate his forces, that is, destroy his army and rob him of his family, so that it would be difficult for him to develop, so that he would have no threat to the Roman Empire, as long as he had no threat to the Roman Empire, it didn't matter to Oristes whether he was alive or not, but if his existence was too much of a threat to the Roman Empire, Oristes had to try his best to get rid of him, That's what Oristes had in mind.
Qin Dong immediately called Su He and ordered: "Pull out the camp immediately, and after packing up, let the old people, women and children all get on their horses, and retreat with the wounded soldiers, cattle, sheep and carriages, and the rest of the people stay with me to defend against the enemy!" ”
Everyone in the big tent stroked their chests and shouted, "Yes, my lord! ”
Everyone was about to go out to prepare, when a voice came from outside the big tent: "Report, urgent military situation!" ”
Everyone's hearts were cold, could there be anything else going on in the secret way? Before Qin Dong could speak, he saw a scout horse walking in from the outside and kneeling down on one knee, panting and saying: "My lord, urgent military situation, we found a cavalry coming towards us quickly twenty miles behind, this cavalry is about three hundred horses, one horse per person, looking at the outfit, it should be mercenaries, their weapons are not uniform, there are all kinds of them, there is no riding bow!" ”
Everyone in the big tent was solemn when they heard the news, this news was really terrible, and in this way, they were facing the situation of being attacked from the back.
Then Qin Dong laughed out loud after hearing this, and everyone felt a little inexplicable when they saw Qin Dong laughing, the current shape is very bad, okay, your old man didn't want to solve the difficulty, but laughed, his heart was too wide, right?
After laughing, Qin Dong said: "I didn't understand Oristes' true intentions before, but now I understand, it turns out that he also arranged a hand behind us, as long as we figure out his arrangement, we can think of a way to deal with it, the scary thing is that we don't know anything, now it's okay, we know his situation, and he doesn't know our situation!" Batu.
Batu responded: "Here, what do you command?" ”
"Send someone to inform Tolong immediately, and ask him to immediately rush to his team with his team of 100 to take over the security here!"
"Yes, sir!"
Qin Dong said again: "Su He, hand over your hundred-man team to me for command, I will take them to destroy the three hundred mercenary cavalry behind me, and when Tolon's hundred-man team comes, the specific battle will be commanded by him, and you are responsible for the overall command and central liaison, if I have not led the team back before Orlistes' army presses up, you will retreat, and abandon the cattle, sheep and wagons while retreating, as long as you find that Oristes' army has lost the array because of the looting of the goods and cattle and sheep on the carriage, and the team is long, Immediately let Tolong lead his cavalry back, and at the same time send someone to contact Muren hidden in the woods eight miles to the left of the mountain pass, and ask him to lead the team to rush out from the rear of the enemy army, and be sure to kill the archers in the rear of the enemy army first, and then shoot back and forth in great depth, but remember, it is better not to melee with the enemy army until the enemy army has collapsed, because we have too few men to afford to lose."
Su He nodded with a condensed expression and said, "Yes, my lord, Su He understands!" ”
Qin Dong can be said to have handed over all the main forces to Su He's command, so his pressure and responsibility are very great, in fact, the biggest threat is not the two thousand infantry led by Oristes, but the three hundred mercenary cavalry behind him, these people are real outlaws, as long as they have money, these mercenaries will do anything, and they are extremely fierce and abnormal, and their combat effectiveness is amazing, especially the cavalry melee ability! Therefore, Qin Dong had to personally lead the team to be sure that he would use one hundred Hun cavalry to deal with three hundred mercenary cavalry.
"Herald, the hundredth team assembles!"
After a few days of special training, the assembly speed of Qin Dong's cavalry team was greatly improved, and in less than three minutes, one hundred cavalry each with two horses were assembled in two rows, and the person in charge of leading the team was Su He's deputy Shanmeng.
Seeing Qin Dong and the others running over on horseback, Shan Mengce immediately stepped forward and said, "My lord, the 100th team has all assembled, and no one is absent!" ”
Qin Dong held a gun in his right hand, grabbed the reins left and right, rode his horse to the front of the 100th team, and said loudly: "The warriors of the 100th team, there are 2,000 people in the direction of the mountain pass more than 20 miles in front of us, and 300 mercenary cavalry are coming 20 miles behind us, we are now suffering from the enemy on our backs, and the shape is very dangerous, but we can completely reverse the shape shì, since they divide their forces to deal with us, then we will concentrate our strongest forces to defeat them first, that is, the three hundred mercenary cavalry behind us, I will lead you to defeat them, They are three times as many as us, are you afraid? ”
When these Hun cavalry heard this, you look at me, I look at you, and they didn't know how to answer, Qin Dong shouted again: "Are you afraid?" ”
Deputy centurion Shan Meng reacted at this time and said loudly: "Don't be afraid! ”
"Don't be afraid!" The other Hun cavalry also shouted loudly in twos and threes.
This is not enough, the momentum is not enough, Qin Dong shouted again and asked: "Are you afraid, I can't hear it!" ”
"Don't be afraid!"
"Didn't you eat in the morning? Be louder, I can't hear it! ”
"Don't be afraid, not afraid, not afraid!"
After a loud roar, Qin Dong himself came out, and immediately turned his head and threw a sentence at Su He: "I'll leave it to you here!" Then he raised his spear and shouted to the cavalry of the hundredth detachment: "Come with me!" ”
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, Qin Dong galloped away with a spear, and a spare horse was led by his side, and the other cavalry were also one person and two horses lined up in two columns and galloped away behind Qin Dong.
