Chapter 81: On the right track
That invincible cavalry was already trapped.
They couldn't jump over the second trench, and in the same way, they couldn't jump over the first trench behind them to escape, it was a trap, and they had already fallen into it.
But Wang Baobao's heart is still full of uneasiness.
The other party is too strong.
They did what neither the demons nor humans could do, and they moved freely in the rain of arrows, even if they were eagle archers, they didn't find many opportunities.
Not only because of its far superior size, but also because of the precision of the machines, the cavalry parted to the two sides when there was no way to go in front and behind, and the two teams galloped between the trenches, sweeping away the archers who had not had time to retreat with terrifying speed, while dodging most of the attacks from behind the second trench.
Wang Baobao tried his best to calm himself down.
He found that as long as he looked at Xiang Wu's face, it was not too difficult.
"This won't work......"
"No, that's the only way. ”
Despite the loss of a part of the archers, at least the enemy could not cross the second trench, which was already the most optimistic scenario in the pre-war plans.
"They don't have armor!"
Wang Baobao still felt unwilling, in the pre-war calculations, this army was wearing invincible armor, but now they are not, this is an extremely rare opportunity, if you just let it go, it is simply a blessing from heaven.
"They are wearing leather armor," Xiang Wu's gaze never left the battlefield, "so far, only one horse has been lost, and all of them have only been slightly injured, and their movements have not changed. ”
Wang Baobao did not speak again.
He wasn't unaware.
Any person who leads a soldier will feel the impact of body size on a person, it is an all-round strength, whether it is strength or tenacity, and even how much combat power can be left after being injured, the only downside is probably the increase in food intake, but it is insignificant compared to the benefits.
But Wang Baobao didn't expect that there would be a natural warrior in the world who was stronger than the demon clan - of course, the enemy on the opposite side really did not belong to this world.
They are outsiders.
"Get half of the Condor Shooters down. ”
In the original plan, the condor archers would only enter the battlefield to harvest when they were unable to fight at the end, but now it seems that even without the invincible heavy armor, they will have to harvest these cavalry until the end.
"It's not like they're not hurt. ”
Xiang Wu probably wanted to comfort Wang Baobao, although his tone was dry.
"I saw it. ”
The situation was at least better than expected before the war, Wang Baobao comforted himself in his heart. What's more, this cavalry appeared much earlier than expected, and if they hadn't been prepared for it, maybe the big battalion would have fallen a long time ago.
Thinking so, Wang Baobao calmed down.
There has been another change on the battlefield.
The cavalry broke up the last ranks of archers and disappeared from the firelight.
"Did they really retreat?"
"Really. ”
Xiang Wu smiled.
"The night battle is not good, they have come from afar, and they have not only retreated, but they will not come again tonight. ”
"Do you want to arrange a night raid?"
Wang Baobao didn't move, whether the other party really retreated, naturally there was a ranger reconnaissance, and Shuai Qi could only move after it was determined. But since Xiang Wu said yes, that's it.
"Everything went according to the arrangement. ”
Wang Baobao and Xiang Wu had already arranged everything, and in the plan, even if the other party's cavalry carried the invincible heavy armor, they could still defend it, and now they only need to handle it according to the regulations.
Soon, the rangers arrived, and the enemy horsemen left on both sides of the camp beyond the first trench.
Wang Baobao sent an order to Mingjin, and the army returned to the camp, and naturally there were troops outside who had been arranged long ago to wait for the unexpected.
The night is silent again.
Back in the big tent of the Chinese army, Wang Baobao gave a great credit to several centurions who were brave in front, and then dispersed to rest at night.
Only Wang Baobao and Xiang Wu were left in the big tent.
"I'll keep vigil, go to sleep. ”
Wang Baobao sat in the position of the coach and yawned long.
In the previous plan, when Wang Baobao was not there, Xiang Wu and the three could take the position of the coach and decide all the battles, and when the war began, their rotation could ensure that the war was under control at any time, and now was the beginning of this long-distance race.
Xiang Wu nodded, turned and left.
Wang Baobao leaned down, turned his face sideways, and rested his right cheek on the cold table.
He didn't know if it was good or bad.
In any case, the war was going faster than he expected, and that was good news.
The turmoil in Jiangnan has not yet subsided.
That's not the emperor's fault.
"Report!"
"Come!"
A herald entered the tent: "The night raiders have departed. ”
"Don't be greedy. ”
"Yes!"
The herald turned to leave, and Wang Baobao stared blankly at the gate.
The sound of the torch burning seemed to be extremely distant, and Wang Baobao lowered his head again.
It should be said that the Mo family was a surprise, but for Wang Baobao, their plan was not good news, it was too food-consuming.
Maybe one day, the war will come to an abrupt end with news of a lack of food.
Wang Baobao didn't know if it would be tomorrow.
"At least today has passed......"
......
For the first time, Tsahan felt his old age.
He remembered the already dead emperor.
They first met 50 years ago, when they were still children.
The emperor was born wise and martial, he has a golden bloodline, even if he is just a child, he is also the most dazzling among children.
Chahan is different, his father is too old and is no longer a respectable demon.
But the emperor still became friends with him.
Fifty years is too much time, so much has happened in between, and Tsahan always thought that this friendship that should not have existed would come to an end at some point, but he did not expect that the first person to leave was the emperor.
He was too young.
When the emperor was stabbed, died, memorialized, and buried in the mausoleum, Chahan lived peacefully in his own home, in a small room that Wang Baobao had temporarily found, waiting for the end of the struggle between the princes in the distant future and the last meeting with his old friends.
Then, it all came to an end.
When Tsahan saw the emperor again, he was in front of the mausoleum, and the emperor was inside the mausoleum.
At that time, Tsahan didn't think anything, he knew that the next emperor would reuse him, and everything was just beginning.
But now, he found that perhaps his long life had come to an abrupt end with the departure of the previous emperor.
The world no longer makes sense, just a background.
"Kuraka...... There really isn't a grain of rice left......"
The demon clan in front of Chahan was his old department, so he didn't waste too long to tell the truth.
Tsahan was not surprised, or rather, he was too surprised just now, and he was already numb.
