c_t; Gamudi was also in a hurry, and as soon as dawn he began to beat the drums and gather the generals, and then ordered the army to set off towards Gaoyang Hill as soon as possible. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The Info army marched slowly, and soon advanced several kilometers away, and as the vanguard of the army, Abda led a team of 10,000 men at the front of the army, but soon they were forced to stop.
"Report to your lord, there is a horse trap on the ground ahead, and we have already injured several people for this. A soldier came on horseback and reported to Abda.
"What, trapped in a horse pit?" said Abuda's face changed slightly, and he then lifted the reins of his horse and walked forward. Arriving at the scene of the incident, Abda turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the tripped horse. When he got closer, Abda's face changed, and the Dawan horse was lying on the ground panting, its right front leg bent in a strange position, apparently broken.
The horses brought by this expedition are all selected high-quality, which can be said to concentrate the essence of the entire Eastern Army, and every loss of one horse is heart-wrenching. Abuda turned over and dismounted, and under the explanation of the soldiers, he looked at the culprit, and he realized that it was just a shallow pit. The pit was only the size of a fist, just big enough to fit a horse's hoof, and its depth was obviously not deep, and its purpose was to stop the cavalry from advancing.
Abda ordered: "Ignore these things, this is just a means for Emperor Longxiao's ** team to delay us, if we cower, we will let the other party's conspiracy succeed." Don't stop everyone, let's move on and rest until we occupy Gaoyang Hill. ”
Abuda's idea was good, but just after a short advance, another Dawan horse broke his front leg, and he was furious. The successive tripping of the horse's legs finally made Abda unable to take it anymore, and he could only order the cavalry in front of him to lead the horse on foot, looking for the pitfalls that could be easily discovered, and finding a way forward for the follow-up troops.
With a few screams, the warriors in front stopped again, and Abuda came to the front again in anger, and he found several warriors holding their feet and wailing, and some four-cornered nails were being nailed to their feet, and the sharp edge facing up had penetrated deep into their feet.
Many of the therapists in the Longxiao Empire were intensive in the study of medicines, and Fang Ruitao had sought advice from the teachers of the Therapist Department before leaving. Although the teachers did not give him any lethal poison because of the injury, he asked for a prescription that could aggravate the pain, and after being mass-produced by the pharmaceutical factory in the miniature factory, the quadrangular nails were impregnated with the drug.
The four-cornered nails that were originally intended to be used on the mob did not work, but they were used by the gods on the Chagatai people. Seeing the soldiers' quickly swollen feet like pig's trotters, Abda was completely out of order, and he had to order his troops to stop their advance and start looking around for pitfalls and spikes to prevent the soldiers from suffering again.
As a result of the expedition along the way, the Chagatai cavalry marched at an extremely slow pace, even slower than the infantry, and by the time they approached the pass of Gaoyangqiu, the sun had already set in the west. With the marching speed of the Chagatai cavalry, the short distance of forty miles actually took a whole day, and it is needless to say that this is depressing.
When Abuda led the team to approach Gaoyang Hill, the sight in front of him made him gasp. In the large open space in front of the pass, there are horse pits, horse rejection piles are stacked on top of each other, and a short wall set up in front of the pass fills this place, which makes Abda, who likes to charge in the field, feel embarrassed that he has nowhere to go.
Faced with a situation that had never been encountered before, Abda simply chose a place nearby to set up camp and sent a large number of rangers to patrol the vicinity to prevent the recurrence of what happened last night. By the time Marshal Gamudi of the rear team also arrived, it was already completely dark, and they could only stay in the barracks until tomorrow.
Looking at the bonfires dotted by the Chagatai people in the distance, Fang Ruitao smiled and said, "Good job, it actually delayed them for a whole day." ”
Gao Fucheng said with a smile: "The commander of the legion praised it falsely, isn't this all what you taught us? It's just that we have divided the three wings into three checkpoints and arranged them, isn't it a little scattered forces, so it is easy to be broken by the other party." ”
Fang Ruitao said with a smile: "If it is on open terrain, this arrangement does have the possibility of being broken by each one, but now we are in one of the few passes in Gaoyang Hill, and if you want to pass through a large number of cavalry, this pass can be said to be the only choice." The terrain here is narrow, and there are equally narrow deep mountain roads behind it, even if there are more troops, it just gives us the opportunity to defend step by step, we can slowly consume the opponent's forces, and when we retreat to the top of Gaoyang Hill, it is time for us to fight a decisive battle, and I hope that the enemy has been weakened enough by then. Fang Ruitao sighed, although he had made all the preparations and tried his best to allocate the firepower of the soldiers to the best, he was still not sure whether this would delay the opponent enough time.
When the sun rose again, the muffled sound of bullhorns sounded in the large camp of the Chagatai people, and then the sound of bullhorns sounded in the small camps nearby, and the sound was melodious and far-reaching, floating in the sky near Gaoyang Hill for a long time.
After the horn sounded, the entire Chagatai battalion moved, and the troops began to assemble one after another, and then rode out of the camp in a neat line. Ten huge phalanxes were neatly arranged in front of the pass, covering a large area of land in navy blue, and the metallic luster emitted by the weapons was dazzling and dazzling, and the defenders of the closed closed narrowed their eyes slightly, and the spontaneous killing aura made the warriors of the Dragon Soul Legion a little nervous.
Looking at those soldiers with wide-eyed eyes and clenched weapons in their hands, Fang Ruitao knew that he had to do something at this time, otherwise it would be a very big blow to his morale. However, before Fang Ruitao could speak, Zhao Guoxian suddenly said in a loud voice: "Brothers, what are you doing?"
"Fighting. ”
"Fight the Gatai people. Many of the soldiers gave a few sparse answers, albeit unneatly, but they said the same thing.
Zhao Guoxian waved his hand and said: "No, you are defending your family and defending the country, and you are fighting for your motherland." This is a battle to the death, and there is no room for mercy or panic. Because your mercy on these people is cruelty to yourself, and your panic has no effect except to make yourself die faster, and now you cheer me up and sing the military song. ”
