Chapter 286: The Suspicious Soldiers Scared Back the Enemy Army

"Hahaha......" Qin Dong also laughed and said: "Da Shan Yu has long announced that Enek and others are rebellious ministers and thieves, Enek, Ernak, Deng Zhixike and others can't inherit Shan Yu's position at all, and now you still want to use this to persuade me to surrender?" It's ridiculous! Enek and others, everyone will be punished, this king advises you to dismount and surrender quickly, and you can spare your death, don't follow Enek and delay your own future, so as not to be buried with Enek, the unlucky bastard! ”

Qin Dong's words were simply the generals of the military division just now, and Enek yelled angrily after hearing this: "I'm angry, I'm angry!" Qin Dong, don't take advantage of your tongue, this Xiongnu Empire is our family, the fight between our brothers has nothing to do with the officials below, how to spoil it is our family's business, it has nothing to do with other people, you are a slave-born guy, you have no right to ask, your official position is given to you by our family, now you bastard doesn't want to accept the control of our family, it seems that you can't be left, and when this king catches you, you must be divided into five horses! ”

After Enek finished speaking, the faces of some officials around him changed greatly, this can't be said on the surface, nor can it be said in front of so many soldiers, what do the soldiers think in their hearts? Looking back, the faces of the soldiers behind him all changed, and their faces showed no anger, and the flaws in Enek's words were immediately caught by Qin Dong.

"Listen, listen!" Qin Dong laughed angrily and shouted, "Have all the warriors of the Hun Empire heard it? This guy Ek actually said that the Hun Empire belonged to their family, and their brothers could spoil it as much as they wanted. It's none of your business! I don't know what you think, I only know that I was born and died for the Great Hun Empire, and I escaped death many times. The number of scars on my body is too many to count, I shed all my blood for the Hun Empire, in the end, this guy Eneco actually said that the Hun Empire is their family, and it has nothing to do with me, warriors, I know that you have all shed blood for the Hun Empire. It is precisely because of you that the Hun Empire can become strong in the hands of Attila and Elak, and can make the Eastern and Western Roman Empires tremble when they see us. And now you don't matter at all in the eyes of Enek, in his eyes you have nothing to do with the Hun Empire, and it has nothing to do with you whether it is weak or strong. The descendants of the masters of the Hun Empire, for whom you once paid a qiē, do not want you anymore. Do you not feel sad that your blood has been shed in vain? ”

Qin Dong's remarks were simply too heartbreaking, and the soldiers standing behind Qin Dong glared angrily when they heard it, while the soldiers behind Enek were in a trance when they heard it, and their morale dropped sharply.

Enek was so angry that he was thunderous, he now knew how powerful Qin Dong was, and he was not an opponent at all when he quarreled with Qin Dong. If Qin Dong continues to talk like this like this, he may be able to say that his soldiers will surrender. Therefore, he immediately said to the people around him: "Let's go back, let the soldiers eat and drink enough, and exterminate Qin Dong's men and horses in one fell swoop!" ”

At this time, the official who looked like a military advisor suddenly stopped, and pointed to the other side of the river and said, "Your Highness, wait, what do you think it is?" ”

When Enek and the others heard this, they looked in the direction pointed by the military division, and saw countless banners waving across the river behind the Qindong army formation, which was a sign of the activities of the army, Enek's face changed, and he immediately said: "Quick, go back, order the army to retreat twenty miles!" ”

Knowing that there are countless armies hidden on the other side of the river, it would be a fool not to retreat, if there is no bridge on the river, Enek is not afraid at all, but there are bridges on the river, and the situation is completely different, Modo's army has nearly nine thousand horsemen, as long as they guard the river and hold the bridge, the army on the other side of the river will continue to cross the river through the wooden bridge, and Enek's men are all cavalry, if they attack forcibly, because Modo's army is backed by the river beach, Enek's army will lose mobility once it attacks, What will a cavalry look like if it loses its mobility? I can only wait to be slaughtered! The Modo army is completely different, as long as Modo sends a small number of people to guard the bridge, he leads most of the men and horses to rush into Enek's military formation, and after killing Enek's military formation, he can outflank left and right, and rush back and forth, after all, there are no rivers and mountains behind Enek's military formation.

Seeing Enek start to retreat with an army of 20,000, Qin Dong and Moduo's hearts finally breathed a sigh of relief, the two of them knew their own situation too well, the countless banners on the other side of the river were deliberately made by Qin Dong, in fact, there was no army at all, and the real army was still on the way to come, it did not arrive so quickly, and it would not arrive until dark at the earliest, Modo's nine thousand cavalry, the only one who really had full combat effectiveness was the five hundred cavalry with the three hundred escort cavalry led by Batu, Most of the others only have half of the usual combat power, and many of them have no combat power at all, and they are all strong to be able to ride on horses, but if these people are fed and drunk, and put on winter clothes and rest, the situation will be different, so as long as they can last until noon, Qin Dong and Mo Duo don't have to worry at all, if they can hold out until dark, and wait for the 30,000 troops arranged by Qin Dong to arrive, the situation will be reversed.

Batu saw Enek leading his troops to retreat, and immediately asked for his life: "King, Enek has been tricked, Batu asked for his order to lead 800 iron cavalry to rush over, disperse Enek's army, and then take advantage of the situation to cover the kill, he will definitely be able to defeat Enek, please allow the king!" ”

Qin Dong looked at Mo Duo, Mo Duo nodded in understanding, and said: "General Batu, now is not the time to attack, you see, although Enek's men and horses are retreating, but their two wings have not moved, if we rush forward rashly, we will inevitably be outflanked by the enemy's two wings, and most of the soldiers of our army have not eaten food yet, they have no combat effectiveness, and it is delusional to pursue and kill the enemy army, so it is not advisable to follow the attack, now we can only watch Enek's army leave and have no choice, but we have succeeded." , if Enek sees that our army is actually ineffective, then it will be troublesome! ”

After hearing this, Batu was a little annoyed: "Alas, it's really embarrassing that you can't pursue the enemy army with such a good opportunity!" ”

Qin Dong said with a smile: "Don't be aggrieved, when you vent, okay, send an order to send scouts to closely monitor the movements of Enek's army, and you can't relax for a moment, and after Enek's men and horses go away, you can let the soldiers dismount and rest, but they can only stay where they are, they can't walk around, food, broth and winter clothes will be distributed to them, so that they don't worry."

Batu saluted, "Yes, my lord! ”

After the withdrawal of Enek's army, the banner on the small town of Vidin on the other side of the river also disappeared, and the men and horses of Modo here were ordered to dismount and rest, but they could not leave the place, they could only stand or sit on horses and wait for the people who distributed food, broth and winter clothes to come, the reason why Qin Dong issued such an order was to prevent Enek from seeing the flaw and deliberately retreating, waiting for Qin Dong's side to relax and then turn around and kill, and through Guò such an arrangement, the soldiers stayed in place, and there were scouts and cavalry to detect the movements of Enek's army at any time, Even if Enek led his troops back, he could calmly arrange and not be caught off guard by Enek.

"Report to the king, Enek's army has been encamped twenty miles away, and it seems that there is no intention of withdrawing!" A scout came to report.

Qin Dong nodded after hearing this, this is predictable, it is impossible for Enek to withdraw without a sound, after all, the north of the middle and lower reaches of the Danube is his territory, and now Qin Dong and the Moduo army are on his territory, even if Enek is not ready to fight, but he can't just withdraw, he must wait for Qin Dong and Modo's army to withdraw to the south bank of the Danube before retreating, after all, the enemy army is stationed on his own territory, and no one will evacuate with confidence.

"Well, it's normal for Enek to camp twenty miles away! Keep on the lookout, and report any movement immediately! ”

"Yes, King!"

Qin Dong said to Batu again: "Let the people who distribute food, broth and clothing speed up the distribution, let the soldiers eat and drink as soon as possible, and put on winter clothes, this weather is getting colder and colder, I don't know if it will snow, if it snows again, the river may freeze, and then we will be in big trouble, immediately let the camp in the town of Vidin cook a large amount of broth, prepare for the upcoming army, and pass on the king's order to let the three 10,000 cavalry teams still on the road speed up the march, and be sure to arrive in the town of Vidin before dark!" ”

If the river freezes, the obstruction of the Donobe River will no longer exist, and Enek's 20,000 iron cavalry can cross the ice and attack directly, which is definitely a huge trouble for the Modo army with only 9,000 men and horses and the 3,000 Qindong guard cavalry in the town of Viding, but things have not yet reached a very bad point, even if the river is frozen, Qindong's side can still fight, as long as the soldiers of Modo are well fed and drunk, and they can fight if they have enough spirit, although the combat effectiveness has not been fully restored, But at least there is no need to wait to be slaughtered, and the main force of the battle is only the three thousand guards and iron cavalry brought by Qin Dong.

To tell the truth, fighting in this kind of weather, the difference in equipment and the advantages of cavalry and horses can be ignored, because in this weather, the cavalry can't run at all, and the soldiers wear thick sheepskin jackets, and it is a little difficult to swing a knife and chop, let alone fight, so Qin Dong is really unwilling to fight more Enek at this time, his carefully trained army can not fully exert its combat effectiveness in this weather, and the gap with Enek's army is not very obvious, and it is really not cost-effective to fight with Enek.

Batu nodded, rode on horseback and bowed: "Yes, king, I will send someone to give the order immediately!" (To be continued......)
