The coalition of more than 5,000 men meandered all the way, dragging out two long queues. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There is also a group of poor heralds, constantly passing news between the two leaders, who makes these two death-fearing ghost leaders afraid of being eaten by each other, and resolutely refuses to take care of each other.

'Murder and arson gold belt', because the bosses on both sides started by anti-humans, so both troops are well-equipped, there is no shortage of horses, and the team is small but dragged on for a long time.

Li Dewan can have a horse or camel per capita, but except for five hundred qualified cavalry, the others can only be regarded as mounted infantry. In particular, his training was very focused on spears, and the spears were too difficult to use on horseback, so in the end most of his troops were infantrymen.

On this expedition, Li Dewan only brought 500 lancers, 1,000 senior spear and shield infantry, and 1,000 newly received cannon fodder, and finally left 500 old infantry to guard the house.

Liu Jingtian also left 500 kobolds to guard the house, because the 'castle tower' was all holes in the ground, and there was not much pressure on the defense.

The main force on the expedition around him was the arquebus cavalry of 1,500 kobolds, riding 500 heavy horses, because one horse carried three koheads, an arquebus, and two handcuffs, so their combat effectiveness was still very strong.

Musketeers are still quite rare, the devil is called 'riding iron cannon', and the European name is 'dragoon', but there is no suitable name within the kobold, so it is called 'dragoon', 'three cannons' and the like.

There are still 1,000 people left in the 'city defense army', mainly equipped with tower shields and all kinds of chaotic armor and weapons captured, which looks a bit chaotic.

These are honest people who have been carefully selected from Agadir, and each of them has a family to carry their own family, so they are very loyal. It is impossible to let these uncle-level people rebel, because they have a small family and a monthly salary, but their combat effectiveness cannot be counted on, because they are too afraid of death.

Under the training of the kobolds, they quickly learned to line up and simple tactics, but the offensive ability was completely unexpected, and they basically made up the numbers.

Liu Jingtian, who was huddled in the caravan, kept bargaining with Li Dewan along the way. Both sides are eyeing the enemy's young and strong men, and this is the most valuable part, because these two guys, one needs cannon fodder to snowball, and the other needs coolie rowing, both are the time when manpower is most scarce.

The rest of the old and young women and children are not so much of a dispute with materials, Li De'an is not good at production and hopes to get more materials, Liu Jingtian has a large base area, and the old, weak, sick and disabled are the same wealth to him.

In the end, the two sides still reached an agreement with difficulty: after the battle, among the young and strong prisoners, Li Dewan took away those under the age of 25, these people not only have a long 'shelf life', but also relatively simple, as long as they fall into Li Dewan's hands, they will probably soon become 'Stockholm disease severe patients'.

And Liu Jingtian took away the prime-aged people over the age of twenty-five.

People in this age group have slightly less physical strength, and most of them have families and jobs, so it is difficult to fool around when their minds are complicated. But Liu Jingtian had already planned:

"If you want them to row honestly as coolies, their loyalty must be full! The old man happens to have a good way to brush up on loyalty...... Generally, there is no deep hatred, and it is from the old man. ”

The two sides have generally agreed, and the rest is the minutiae, and their own subordinates will help calculate.

As for whether the coalition will lose the battle, both arrogant guys said that there is not much pressure.

The oasis where the Tafilals are located, about thirty kilometers from Li Dewan's territory, can only be reached by walking for about a whole day.

The Tafilales, who were being divided as property, were unaware of the enemy's arrival. Patriarch Ahmad Rahman is allocating troops and collecting supplies for the three thousand tribal warriors, and if this battle turns into a siege, it will cost a lot.

On the other hand, Li Dewan, a huge coalition army, attracted countless attention along the way, and he was not polite, and detained all those caravans and snoopers who might ventilate the news, and must ensure the secrecy of the troops.

But the coalition army went out a little late, and seeing that it was dark, and the road was only halfway through, everyone had to stop, camp in the desert, burn a fire and cook, and wait for tomorrow's departure.

At this time, the sentinels unexpectedly saw an equally large procession in the distance, leading camels and horses, approaching this way.

Li Dewan was stunned: "It's troublesome, such a large caravan can't be detained! Isn't it going to leak the news?"

In the opposite team, the Rahman patriarch was also wondering: "This is not a trade route, where did such a large team come from?"

The Tafilal tribe also went out a little late, but everyone is familiar with the terrain, if you act overnight, in the middle of the night, you can rush to the oasis of the 'Hassan clan', which is a great opportunity for a raid. If that damn caravan guard is lax, Patriarch Rahman doesn't mind letting go of the 'Hassan Clan' and making a move on the caravan first.

He called out to the fourth son beside him: "Bring some riders and ask, what is the other side doing? Also, if the other party is too numerous, say that this is the land of Tafilal, and tell the other party to get out of the way immediately!"

At the same time, Li Dewan and Liu Jingtian naturally gave similar orders, and just like that, the three unprepared horse teams collided together in a daze......

The coalition troops in the camp, and the Tafilal army who hesitated to make a detour, heard a series of screams at the junction of the two sides at the same time, and soon, the horse teams of both sides ran back covered in blood: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The battle broke out when everyone was unprepared.

Of the three horses, the Tafilals were the first to reveal their identities, so they were killed on the spot by Li Dewan's elite cavalry. However, Li Dewan's elite cavalry had few people, so he could only turn around and flee to report the enemy.

At this time, Liu Jingtian's kobold cavalry and two 'city defense troops' who served as interpreters slowly arrived, but they were attacked head-on by the enraged Tafilals, and the kobolds turned around and ran - the muskets had not yet come and reloaded! One of the 'city defense interpreters' was killed, and the other was plundered.

On this cool evening, bloody battles suddenly began.

The first to act was Li Dewan and his elite cavalry.

In less than a minute, the five hundred cavalry, under the command of Li Dewan, were neatly draped, formed a conical formation, and rushed out of the chaotic camp.

Behind him, two thousand soldiers were also chaotically forming a whole team, but under the command of their respective centurions, they also began to gradually gain order.

The Rahman patriarch, who had received the news of the death of his fourth son, was stunned for a moment before he figured out what had happened. At this time, his infantry and cavalry were still pulling a long line of troops, walking towards the enemy step by step.

However, the battle between the reconnaissance cavalry in front was still hundreds of meters away from the headquarters, and the entire Tafilale team still had a chance to form a team.

Holding back his grief, the patriarch quickly ordered the teams to form battle formations and prepare to meet this unexpected enemy.
