Chapter 92: Near-Combat
Mingyue didn't object, because she knew that it didn't serve her to stay here, but Ashye needed to send a lot of people to protect her.
In fact, it wasn't at all what she had in mind.
After greeting Mingyue, Ashye left here, the bright moon in the sky has risen from the east, and the earth in the distance is dyed with a trace of silver, but Ashye's mood is not calm at all, the cavalry belonging to them is still on guard around, Ashye knows, they don't want to rest tonight.
Just as Ashye had guessed, their cavalry had been on guard for more than an hour, and just when they thought that the enemy would not come, the white horse cavalry in the distance appeared again, and these cavalry had to fight up their spirits again.
But the enemy only harassed him for a moment and left directly, and this time, the opponent did not even shoot an arrow.
After the enemy left this time, Ashye was silent for a moment, and decisively called Tomur.
"Chief."
"It can't go on like this, we've been on the road for a day during the day, and we've fought the enemy a few times, and we've not rested until now, and these warriors have reached their limit, and if we don't rest, we'll be even more unable to advance tomorrow during the day."
"But after the enemy leaves, they can rest if they want, but we can't."
"So, we have to give them a break." Ashye said in a deep voice.
"However, if we rest, Chief, the enemy will come again, and we may not be able to react." Tuomur said with some embarrassment.
"Separate! I noticed that the enemy came from the same direction several times, and obviously the night also had an effect on them, in order not to lose their way, they all chose to come from this direction, and just now they didn't even put arrows, obviously their main purpose is to harass us and make us extremely tired, so that tomorrow they can seize the opportunity and crush us directly! Ashye said seriously.
"Now you divide the wounded and the people of other tribes into three parts, find a slope for them to rest directly, and divide our warriors with Luo Bu 1,000 people, divided into two groups, a group of 500 people to defend in the direction from which the enemy came, take turns to guard, and the rest of the people also find a slope to rest directly."
"In addition, gather all their horses around, let these horses block the enemy's view, or, attract the enemy's arrows! As long as our people are well-rested! Ashye said quickly.
"Yes!" Tuomur thought about it, he knew that what his leader said was right, if they didn't sleep tonight, by tomorrow day, maybe they would at least fall asleep and fall off their horses, let alone defend against enemy attacks.
So they had to take a part of the people to rest, as for the horses...... They have now had seven or eight hundred warriors killed in battle, but the vitality of horses is much stronger than that of people, and there are not many dead war horses, so they are not afraid of horses being shot by the enemy.
At this time, the preservation of talent is the most important thing.
Ashye's orders were quickly carried out, and the Turks knew that they had to rest, or they would not survive tomorrow even if they survived tonight.
It's just that Ashye would never have thought that when they reacted, the face of the spirit of the Jade Gate in Huo Gang's mind, these red dots were incomparably bright and divided into different parts.
Seeing these branches, Huo Gang understood what Ashye was going to do.
Huo Gang directly called Gongsun Lin: "When you harass tonight, don't change the direction of harassment, just harass in the direction of the previous two harassments, reduce the number of people to two hundred horsemen each time, all with wooden arrows, give them an illusion, in the early hours of the morning, we will directly raid them in the other direction." ”
"Yes!" Gongsun Lin took the order directly.
With Huo Gang's order, Gongsun Lin's next attack seemed to have become a fixed pattern, although the time of each attack was still not necessarily, but it was obvious that it came from the same direction.
When it was close to midnight, Ashye also got a report from Tuomur: "Chief, it seems that the enemy's personnel have decreased this time, and our casualties add up to only a few dozen, and most of them are injured. ”
Hearing this, Ashye immediately burst into joy, "Sure enough, they can't be sure of our situation, and they don't dare to approach, for fear that we will ambush them, they just let us not rest well." ”
"But you can't relax, you must keep an eye on them."
"Yes!" Tomur saluted and turned to leave.
Time has passed little by little, the Turks in charge of defense have become numb, their spirits have been extremely tired, and the current defense is more of an instinctive action, if the enemy rushes directly over it is fine, in that case, the excitement on the battlefield can also make them sober up, but the enemy just rushes over every once in a while, shoots a wave of arrows and leaves directly.
At night, they couldn't even see the enemy, and most of these bows and arrows could not cause damage, and most of them were extremely mentally numb except for some unlucky ones.
When the men in charge of the guard blew the horn, they numbly prepared their defenses, and when the enemy fired a rain of arrows, they turned and left, and they seized the time to rest.
The bright moon in the sky gradually set to the west, and the Turks who were in charge of guarding were almost numb when they blew their trumpets, because the enemy had already come at least ten or twenty times.
And there are obviously only one or two hundred people at a time, but it is these two hundred people that make them have to be vigilant, because they can't do nothing defense, right?
Even the Turks who were in charge of the guard were already like this, and in this direction, the part of the Turks in charge of defense was completely numb, and many times, before their brains could react, the enemy had already left.
Even their horses are almost reaching their limits.
When the moon had completely set in the west and the darkness before dawn came, Huo Gang and the others had quietly appeared on the slope of the hill in the other direction of the Turks.
From here, by the starlight in the sky, he could see the black shadows in the Turkic camp in the distance, which should be a large number of horses, but when Huo Gang compared it with the red dots in his mind, he found that the position of these horses was not the same as the position of those red dots.
Yes, these Turks will play this kind of trick of darkness.
"Ready!" Huo Gang snorted.
With Huo Gang's voice, Gongsun Lin, who was beside him, directly pulled out the long knife on his waist, including a thousand white horse servants who were neatly lined up behind! They don't just play with bows and arrows! They can fight even if they are close!
