Chapter 274: The Disgusting Ogre Army (Ask for Subscription)
Li Cunxiao and the others were moving rapidly in the direction of the Ogre Kingdom army with 50,000 cavalry, and the mounts of these cavalry were all composed of mutated war horses.
Although the impact of these war horses did not pose a threat to the heavy infantry of the Ogre Country, the speed was extremely fast, and in less than an hour, these cavalry could already see the dense military tent in the distance, which was the camp of the Ogre Country's army.
At this time, Modu also received a letter from the scout.
"What? Two Great Xia cavalry are attacking our side?"
"Yes, these two cavalrymen, one on the left and one on the right, are coming to the left and right of our camp, and will attack at any moment. ”
Modu was also stunned!
He didn't go to the trouble of the Great Xia army, but they came to the door on their own?
Then there was a burst of anger, he felt that their ogre country was despised, and Great Xia actually dared to take the initiative to attack.
"Come on, order the troops to start assembling, this time there are as many troops as there are in Great Xia, let them die as many as they want. ”
"Yes!"
Subsequently, a huge horn sounded in the camp of the Ogre Country, and the soldiers began to assemble one after another.
However, these soldiers also looked confused, obviously their general said that today was a day of repair, and they wanted to let them rest well, but before noon, they began to assemble?
Although there were doubts in his heart, the speed at which the soldiers of the Ogre Kingdom gathered was also very fast.
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and countless soldiers of the Ogre Country raised their heads in confusion, obviously it was still dawn just now, why did the sky suddenly dark?
"Everyone, prepare to defend against the enemy!"
Suddenly, a roar resounded through the camp, and before the soldiers could react, a dense rain of arrows fell.
Most of these soldiers have just been assembled, so the number of people holding shields in their hands is not large, and they were caught off guard, and suddenly there were countless soldiers full of arrows, even if the soldiers of the Ogre Country were strong, they would burp at this time.
"What's going on, where did the rain of arrows come from?"
"Is it that the army of Great Xia has attacked?"
"What about the general? Didn't you say let's rest for a day? Why did the army of Great Xia suddenly come over?"
At this time, the soldiers of the Ogre Nation began to mess up, shouting at each other while looking for a place to resist the rain of arrows.
"Everyone doesn't need to panic, Great Xia only came with less than 100,000 people, and they were all cavalry, so there was no threat to us, everyone immediately began to assemble and prepare to counterattack. ”
At this moment, another loud roar rang out above the camp.
The soldiers of the Ogre Kingdom also heard that it was their own king's voice, so they calmed down one after another and began to assemble at the designated location, resisting the rain of arrows while waiting for orders.
After all, Li Cunxiao and his two legions only had 100,000 cavalry, so they could only cover a part of the Ogre Country camp.
And when they attacked, the army of the Ogre Country also reacted immediately, except for the soldiers in those places where they attacked a little riot, the soldiers in the rest of the places gathered and quickly killed them.
"Withdraw!"
Li Cunxiao shouted!
Suddenly, all the cavalry put away their bows and arrows, and immediately rode away, and when the army of the Ogre Kingdom chased them out, they could only see dust rising in the distance, but not a single figure could be seen.
These Ogre soldiers had no choice but to return in disgrace.
An hour later, when the camp of the Ogre Army fell silent again, the ground began to tremble slightly.
Suddenly, all the soldiers quickly became vigilant, and sure enough, a moment later, there was another rain of arrows in the sky.
These ogre soldiers chased out again, but as before, they chased out, and they couldn't see anything except the dust, which made the soldiers of the ogre country angry and aggrieved.
Originally, today was a good rest day, but as a result, they were harassed three times and twice, and the key is that if you don't guard against it, you will be shot to death if you are not careful, which makes the spirit of these soldiers always in a tense state.
"Damn, Great Xia's army is too cunning, and they don't dare to fight head-on, and will only use these shady tricks. ”
In the big tent, Modu is furious.
The two harassments of the Great Xia cavalry, although they did not cause too many casualties to their soldiers, but also lost a lot of people, and more importantly, if this continues, they will not be able to rest, and the morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers will be lower and lower.
"Us, what can you do?"
In the end, Modu had no choice but to ask the general in charge of commanding the whole army this time, Wu Si's opinion.
Hearing this, Wu Si pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "Wang, we don't have cavalry, so even if we keep chasing us, we will be fled by the other party, and maybe they will turn back and shoot our pursuers, so there are only three ways at present." ”
"The first one is to change the guard, change the heavy infantry to the marginal area, after all, the cavalry of Great Xia did not dare to rush into our camp, so we can only harass the soldiers in the marginal area every time, as long as we transfer the heavy infantry who are not afraid of bows and arrows, then we will no longer be afraid. ”
"Later, we can ambush an army outside and wait for an opportunity to surround them, but this is very unlikely, after all, they are cavalry, and their reconnaissance skills must be stronger than ours. ”
"The second is to send masters, and when those cavalry come, directly kill the leading figures among the cavalry, and intercept the rain of arrows, but this is also risky, because we don't know how many masters there are in the opponent's army, and if we attack rashly, it is easy to be surrounded and killed by the opponent. ”
"And if you intercept the rain of arrows, it will also double the pressure on our generals, after all, they also have to watch the opponent's masters. ”
"The last way is to directly take the initiative to attack Great Xia, the reason why Great Xia can harass us without pressure now is because we are stationed and there is no attack. ”
"Once we start to attack, then the cavalry of Great Xia must be defended, because we are fighting on their territory, it is impossible for them not to stop us, as long as the army is engaged, then the role of cavalry is not so great for our army of the Ogre Country. ”
“....”
Modu was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Let's use the first method first, the second one is too uncertain, and the third one is not yet there, the morale of our army is not high during this time, and we need to stabilize the mood of the soldiers before we can attack." ”
Wu Si nodded, and said no more, since Modu had made a choice, then he would do it.
Half an hour later, countless heavily armored soldiers began to appear on the periphery, taking over the places that had been taken care of by the rain of arrows.
And those soldiers of the Ogre Country who were replaced were also relieved in their hearts, if they continued like this, they would collapse, it was only half a day, and there were two waves on the other side, and if it was one day, there would be no four or five waves on the other side.
Fortunately, the hoplites took their place, and these guys were not afraid of the rain of arrows, and ordinary arrows could not break through their defenses.
"General, the other side seems to be changing guards, replacing those iron bumps, shall we continue?"
At this time, in the air, Gao Pet looked at the Ogre Country camp in the distance, and asked Li Cunxiao.
Li Cunxiao thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Stop for a while, wait for it to continue after dark, after dark, we will change the direction to harass, their camp is so big, the heavy infantry will definitely not be able to take care of all places." ”
"When it gets dark, when they relax, when they rest, when they think we're giving up, we're giving them a hard blow. ”
"Haha, the Lord has a reason for this, and we must carry out this harassment strategy to the end. ”
The rest of the people also laughed and said.
"Wang, it's been three hours, and the cavalry of Great Xia really didn't continue to appear, and they probably also knew that the heavy infantry was not easy to deal with, so they gave up, and after two days, we repaired it, and we must take revenge on it." ”
In the big tent, a general of the Ogre Country said to Modu with a smile on his face.
Modu also had a slight smile on his face, as long as Daxia was not in a commotion, then he could quickly adjust the morale of his soldiers, and then launch an attack on Daxia.
At this time, Wu Si said in a deep voice: "Wang, we can't be careless yet, after all, our hoplites are not many in number, and we can only defend one place, but there are many places where our camp can be harassed, so we still need to strengthen our vigilance." ”
When Modu heard this, his face was also correct, and then he said solemnly: "General Wu is right, after you go back, you must strictly order the soldiers to strengthen their vigilance, and you must not let the cavalry of Great Xia be caught off guard and increase casualties in vain." ”
"Yes. ”
The generals of the Demon Eater Country below also clasped their fists and said respectfully.
At night, dark clouds covered the moonlight, and it was pitch black everywhere, except for the camp of the army of the Ogre Country, and everywhere there was a huge copper basin with burning flames, illuminating the entire camp transparently.
"General, it's okay at this time, most of them should be resting!"
About fifty miles away from the Ogre Country camp, a cavalry unit was quietly parked here, and Li Cunxiao and the others were also among them.
"Well, it's okay, get all the soldiers ready, we'll attack from the other direction. ”
Subsequently, all the soldiers received new orders and began to organize their weapons and prepare for departure.
In the silence of the night, there was silence in the Ogre Nation camp.
Suddenly, there was a whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, and the Ogre Nation soldier who was in charge of standing guard was also a veteran, and when he heard this voice, he immediately shouted: "Enemy attack, be careful of bows and arrows." ”
As soon as he finished shouting, a streamer flashed, and the soldier's head exploded and fell from the watchtower.
But the voice had already come out, and suddenly countless military tents were opened, and the soldiers also ran out quickly, these soldiers were basically well-armed, so although there were many arrows, the casualties were reduced a lot.
Because of Wu Si's reminder, when the Ogre soldiers were resting today, they were all in their stomachs, just to prevent being sneak attacked, and the result really came.
In the distance, seeing countless soldiers in full armor running out, Li Cunxiao also shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Let's shoot a few more rounds and withdraw, they are already prepared." ”
Then, he sighed to Gao Zhong and a few people: "The other party seems to have been prepared for a long time! The effect of our sneak attack has been greatly weakened, and there is no point in continuing any longer." ”
As soon as Li Cunxiao finished speaking, Shi Wansui smiled and said: "General, the last general thinks that the harassment is still going to be carried out, our purpose is not to pursue killing, but to reduce their morale, as long as we are in a commotion that they can't sleep, and we have to tense our spirits all the time, then our goal has been achieved." ”
"Well, that's right! General Shi is right, but he is a general. ”
Li Cunxiao's face also showed a smile instantly, and then said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then we will harass them at different times every day and make them not rest." ”
"Yes. ”
The rest of the people also clasped their fists and laughed, what they wanted was to keep the army of the Demon Eater Kingdom vigilant at all times, which was also a great drain on the spirit, and when the time came for the decisive battle, they would have a better chance of winning.
