Chapter 296

After quickly arranging the support questions, the White Wolf returned to his makeshift bedroom, where he had other things to ask Nine.

From the point of view of time, this hand, Schwagka may have been arranged a long time ago.

The white wolf admitted that the other party's series of behaviors were completely out of his expectations.

But the problem is that it still doesn't explain the battle on the battlefield today.

You can't deliberately show weakness to lower your vigilance, so as to increase the success rate of food robbery, right?

The white wolf didn't think it was very likely.

But for this matter, Nine obviously did not receive the corresponding information.

In order to obtain this level of intelligence, White Wolf estimated that someone would have to get around Swagka.

But the Schwarka guy was very cautious and suspicious, and he didn't leave anyone around him except his absolutely trustworthy cronies.

The White Wolf had the intention to subdue those rebel armies and use them in the next battle.

But Nine tells the White Wolf that the rebels are nothing more than a rabble, and that they have been frightened by this time after being surrounded and suppressed by the Mor Khanate.

It is obviously impossible for them to fight the regular army of the Morkhanate again.

The only guarantee is that when the Great Xia army is absorbed, those rebel armies will not resist.

Hearing this, the white wolf already understood.

But it doesn't matter, it would be good to be able to use the strength of the rebel army to make it easier for him to take the next few cities.

Even if it is not used, the impact on the Great Xia army is not very great.

After all, as Nine said, it's just a rabble.

The other side.

The news of the fall of the border city was delivered to Schwaga as quickly as possible.

Schwagka obviously expected this, so he didn't make any over-the-top moves.

The newly replaced table case can be regarded as having escaped.

During this time, Schwagka continued to engage in self-reflection, and then he realized that he was inflated.

After growing the tribe, he actually wanted to match Great Xia in a short period of time, even to the point of being far away.

Now that I think about it, I really had enough expansion at that time.

Schwaka sometimes wondered if if he had been able to stabilize at that time, would Morhan not be where he is now?

Obviously, Schwagka suffered an inexperienced loss.

I only know that I thought I was annexing and expanding, but I forgot the stable foundation.

At this point, Xia Qi did a very good job.

Xia Qi dared to assert that no matter how big the planet he was on now, his Great Xia was the most advanced of all civilizations.

Great Xia is the beacon and sun of all civilizations on this planet.

The closer it is to Great Xia, the more light it bathes, and the more advanced its civilization becomes.

Of course, it was also the first one to be hit.

If Xia Qi wanted to, he could send an army at any time to plunder a large number of troops and resources.

But why didn't he do it?

Because he knew that the size of Great Xia was limited, and once the number of people plundered exceeded this amount, no matter how many people were plundered, the greater the damage to Great Xia.

Straight to the point.

Now Schwaka, when he calmed down and took a good look at himself, the whole person suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment.

Admit that you are a weakling, put yourself in a correct position, and then deal with everything in front of you in the way of a weakling.

It's not a shame, and that's exactly what Schwaga is doing now.

Meanwhile.

The logistics troops carrying a large amount of grain and grass are slowly moving forward, in the vast grassland

A long dragon was formed, and the person in charge of escorting the grain and grass was Kereh's lieutenant general, Han Sen.

Han Sen wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead, and just as he untied the water bag from his waist and was about to take a sip of water, the mount under his crotch suddenly became strange.

Suddenly, he began to snort in anxiety and stomped his hooves incessantly.

Animals' intuition is often much sharper than that of humans, and Han Sen, who noticed this change, suddenly tightened his heart.

"Pass the order, the whole army is on alert!"

In the space between his words, faintly, there was a roar of galloping horses in the distance.

For this kind of voice, Han Sen, as a cavalry general, is obviously no stranger.

As the distance gradually narrowed, he could clearly feel the ground trembling slightly under his feet.

"Alert! All soldiers are ready for battle!! ”

Before the words fell, thousands of steppe cavalry in the distance had already broken into his field of vision!

If you want to evacuate now, it is obviously too late.

Their logistics troops escorted a large amount of grain and grass, and it was impossible for them to outrun the steppe cavalry on the opposite side, and this batch of grain and grass was very important and must not fall into the hands of the enemy.

For today's plan, we can only face the battle!

Considering the ferocity of the steppe cavalry, the troops responsible for escorting the grain and grass deployed goblin crossbowmen, large shield soldiers and sword and shield soldiers in advance, which were specially used to target the steppe cavalry who rushed to rob the grain.

However, who would have thought that the number of cavalry in this steppe could be so large, let alone five thousand?

In the face of a huge gap in troops, even if the grain transport unit occupies the advantage of the troops, it will not be able to raise half of its confidence at this time.

Not to mention the relatively timid goblins, even those Terran soldiers who have been through a hundred battles, their faces are a little pale.

"Formation !!"

Before he had time to think about it, Han Sen hurriedly gave the order.

The infantry formed a formation and prepared to meet the enemy.

At the same time, at the moment when the steppe cavalry rushed into the range of the crossbow, the five hundred goblin crossbowmen were divided into five groups and fired in turn, and the continuous crossbow arrows began to shoot at the steppe cavalry who rushed up.

It is undeniable that goblin crossbowmen are targeted when facing cavalry.

But no matter how strong the pertinence is, it can't stand the number of grassland cavalry on the opposite side exceeding them by several times!

The firepower of the five hundred goblin crossbowmen could not suppress them at all, and the steppe cavalry who rushed close after it decisively showed their riding and archery skills.

Between the bending bows and arrows, the black rain of arrows swept over like a raging storm, showing a terrifying suppressive force.

After only a few salvos, there were obvious casualties among the grain transport troops.

The dense rain of arrows continued to disintegrate the defenses of the grain transport troops, and in the face of such a huge disparity in strength, even if the grain transport troops resisted desperately, it was difficult to constitute an effective counterattack.

As a cavalry general, Han Sen's situation at this time was even more of a dilemma.

The number of cavalry in his troops was only three hundred.

Taking 300 light cavalry to attack thousands of steppe cavalry, no matter how you look at it, this is no different from sending them to death, and they will die worthlessly.

Seeing that the entire army was about to be crushed by the grassland cavalry with a rain of arrows, there were only two choices in front of Han Sen at this time.

One, fight to the death, expecting a miracle to happen.

Second, to preserve the troops, abandon the grain trucks and retreat.

Seriously, neither choice was very wise, and both took a lot of risks, but as the commander of this grain transportation team, Han Sen was clearly aware that he had to make a choice.

Even if it's a difficult choice.

Taking a deep breath, after passing his rational judgment, Han Sen decisively gave the order to retreat.

He didn't know if the front-line troops had noticed that the Morkhanate had sent such a large number of steppe cavalry to loot food.

Therefore, Han Sen was not sure if reinforcements would arrive.

Under this premise, relying on this strength alone to compete with thousands of steppe cavalry will only be unilaterally slaughtered, and at this time, it is wise to choose to retreat and preserve the troops.

However, this retreat is not so simple, most of their logistics troops are infantry, but the opposite side is cavalry, they want to retreat, but they have to see whether the other side agrees.

Sure enough, the steppe cavalry under the command of Natulu had no intention of letting them go at all.

For Natulu, although the main purpose of this time is to rob the grain, it would be great if he could easily destroy the opponent's more than 1,000 troops.

He won't let it go easily.

After leaving a thousand steppe cavalry to take over the grain trucks, the remaining steppe cavalry continued to pursue.

At this point, Han Sen can be regarded as mentally prepared.

After abandoning the grain trucks, the soldiers moved much more flexibly, maintaining their formation, and they fought and retreated in the direction of the east.

The steppe cavalry on the opposite side completely entangled them with their cavalry attack methods, so that they could never get out.

Fighting and fighting, escaping and escaping, the disgusting aspects of the archers can be said to be undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

At this time, the only thing to be thankful for is probably their infantry unit, which is basically equipped with shields and armor, and in the face of the overwhelming rain of arrows, it will not completely fall into a state of waiting for death.

Han Sen commanded the logistics troops to fight and retreat, and the pressure in his heart could be said to be extremely huge, and this kind of battle made him feel like he was spending his years in seconds.

I don't know how long it lasted, but the soldiers under his command who fought bloodily had already broken most of it, until the east direction, raising a cloud of sand and dust to sweep the sky.

In the dust, the military flag that was blown by the wind made Han Sen, who was embarrassed at the moment, show a touch of ecstasy on his face.

"Reinforcements! It's reinforcements that have arrived!! ”

A simple shout, but it was as if it was an injection of heart-boosting medicine for the remaining soldiers, which lifted the spirits of all the soldiers!

And the movement here will naturally inevitably fall into the eyes of Natulu.

Realizing that the situation had changed, Natulu immediately shouted loudly: "Withdraw! Hurry up and retreat!! ”

As he spoke, Natulu directly took the lead in turning the direction and rushed into the distance.

On the other side, the steppe cavalry who stayed behind to take over the grain trucks were also very neat one by one, and directly fixed their horses to the grain trucks.

A grain cart, drawn by two horses, is much faster than one, and its own riding skills are there, and it is not much jerky to drive the carriage.

By the time Naturu had withdrawn with his soldiers, they had already fled far away in the grain truck.

The menacing cavalry rushed past Han Sen and the others without even having time to stop.

Si Lan probably knew the situation here, there was no nonsense, and with the cavalry team under his command, he directly accelerated the pursuit and killing.

In a way, they arrived in time.

As the White Wolf expected, if the steppe cavalry really wanted to rob the grain, they would definitely wait until they officially launched an attack before they started.

At that time, most of their attention will be shifted to the siege battle in front of them, which greatly increases the success rate of looting grain.

The other party's hand was good, if it weren't for the fact that the nine told the white wolf that the steppe cavalry who had left before had not returned to the Morkhanate at all, the white wolf would not have reacted so quickly.

As a light cavalry unit, the mobility force is naturally well-deserved first, marching all the way, and rushing to this side day and night.

At this moment, although the soldiers of the cavalry team were tired and sleepy, they knew very well the importance of this batch of food.

Therefore, one by one, they were all fighting with strong spirits and chased after the grassland soldiers in front.
