Chapter 31: Fighting Alone
After taking the lead in arranging ambush soldiers, there are 6,000 captives as cannon fodder, in the face of 3,000 wolf iron horses, they have lost more than 500 people, and more than 1,000 people have been injured by different Cheng dรน, which can be described as heavy losses, and now there are at least more than 10,000 iron horses?
How can this be resisted?
Looking around, although the three thousand Heavenly Wolf Iron Cavalry were completely annihilated, but their horses also suffered heavy losses, and now less than a thousand horses can be captured, after supplementing the losses of the Tsing Yi Iron Cavalry, there are only less than three hundred more horses at most, even if they are equipped with three hundred Red Fire Iron Horses, but the combat power is definitely not as good as before.
After all, the Tsing Yi Iron Cavalry has now lost more than five hundred, and there are some cavalry that are seriously injured and unable to fight at all, and the combat power is at most two thousand, and the rest of the horses are all replenished to the clansmen of the Red Fire Clan, and a maximum of five thousand iron cavalry will be formed.
How could such a combat force be the opponent of the Heavenly Wolf Iron Cavalry? Even if they only came with 10,000 people, it would be difficult to resist at all, not to mention, it was impossible to determine how many people came.
"My lord, so far, we can only lead the cavalry troops to the north with all our might!" At this time, Luo Yun stepped forward and spoke.
"Yes, my lord, my subordinates are willing to lead the army to break off!" another officer in Tsing Yi stood up and spoke.
At this moment, his body was covered in blood, and one arm had been broken, but there was no fear on his face, but a resolute face.
Zi Chen knew that his so-called broken queen was to stay behind to stop the Sky Wolf Iron Cavalry at the cost of the wounded soldiers who couldn't get on the horse.
Losing their horses, they are simply sent to death if they stay!
"My lord, let the warriors of the Red Fire Clan stay behind and break the queen!" Chiguev also stepped forward, he knew. In the face of tens of thousands of Sirius Iron Riders, there are no horses. Even if you want to escape, you can't escape.
And they only have 7,000 cavalry, and if they want to use 7,000 cavalry to stop tens of thousands of Heavenly Wolf Iron Cavalry, even with the bravery of the Red Fire Clan, they can't do it at all.
Therefore, the best way now is for the cavalry to retreat first, and the rest of the people stay where they are to resist, and they can stop for as long as they can.
Without the drag of these people, in this vast prairie. Even if it is a Sky Wolf Iron Cavalry, if you want to catch up with 7,000 cavalry, it will be difficult to climb to the sky.
It's just that......
Looking at those Tsing Yi Iron Riders who were badly injured but endured severe pain, Zi Chen did not see fear on their faces, nor did he see the decadence of being abandoned, there was only fearless determination, and it was obvious that they were all ready to sacrifice.
Their expressions are so plain, and their eyes are so clear. Thinking of the danger they had faced in order to intercept and kill the other party's vanguard troops, they had managed to survive with great difficulty, but now they had to stay and die, but they didn't complain at all.
Zichen's heart. A throbbing pain.
Look at the more than 1,000 captives who were unarmed, but survived from the iron hooves of the Sky Wolf Iron Horse with a bloody force, and looked at them with horror and fear in their eyes. With begging eyes, Zi Chen couldn't give the order to give them up.
I have promised them. As long as you work hard, you can become your own soldier. You can enjoy the treatment of normal soldiers, and now that they have done it, how can they not be trustworthy?
How can they turn their backs on the equality they have bought with their blood?
"No, I can't leave them behind!" Zi Chen shook his head slightly.
"But my lord......" Luo Yun was about to say something, but was interrupted by Zi Chen.
"Don't say it, there must be a way, I promised everyone, if you want to leave with everyone, you must do it!" Zi Chen waved his hand and had already taken out a map from his arms.
This is a map drawn on sheepskin, this is the detailed map that Ximen Zhan gave him before leaving, and it is with this map that they have come here smoothly.
Hearing Zi Chen's words, the more than 1,000 captives who survived showed grateful expressions one by one, and they were also full of respect for Zi Chen, with their identity, even if Zi Chen abandoned them, no one would say anything?
After all, their status is only slaves.
It's just that no one would have thought that Zichen would really fulfill his promise, and in such a situation, he would not want to abandon them?
It seems that the previous desperate efforts were totally worth it!
As for those injured Tsing Yi Iron Horsemen, including the Red Fire Clan warriors who did not have war horses, they were full of respect for Zi Chen, they had already made preparations for death, no matter what choice Zi Chen made, they would obey unconditionally, but to be able not to be abandoned by Zi Chen, their hearts were naturally moved.
Following such a chief, even if it is death, it is worth it.
Even Chiguev didn't expect Zichen to make such a decision, although he felt that it was very inappropriate, but he was also full of respect for Zichen.
Perhaps, he is not a good general, but he is definitely a good leader, and the warriors of the Red Fire Clan follow him, and they will not worry about becoming cannon fodder.
Even Luo Yun opened his mouth and sighed softly.
"With ......" At this time, Zi Chen suddenly exclaimed.
Luo Yun, Chiguyev and the others were all stunned, could it be that Zi Chen had any way to resist the other party's tens of thousands of iron horses?
The two of them involuntarily leaned over and saw Zi Chen pointing to a point on the map and said, "This is the Tianshan Mountain Range, about ten miles away from here, as long as we enter the Tianshan Mountain Range from here, then the other party will lose the biggest advantage!" Zi Chen said.
"But my lord, the other party's cavalry is less than ten miles away from us, and we don't have time to pull all of them into the Tianshan Mountain Range! Unless we leave a team behind, we can stop the other party for at least half an hour!" Luo Yun frowned.
"It didn't take half an hour, we divided into two teams, the infantry went first, took this line, straight into the Tianshan Mountains, and the cavalry went around this canyon from this line... Then we only need to stop them for two quarters of an hour!"
Luo Yun and Chiguyev looked at the route pointed out by Zi Chen, and immediately nodded.
This straight line, in some places the cavalry can not advance at all, can only bypass, but for people on foot, it is nothing, it can go in a straight line, which saves half of the time, and then the cavalry can rely on the mobile power, go around the canyon more than 20 miles away, and pass through the canyon.
In this way, it not only saves time, but also creates confusion for the pursuers, so that they divide their forces to pursue.
"My lord, what about those people?" Luo Yun pointed to the three thousand tribes that had surrendered before, most of them were women and children, and they had not played in the previous battle.
"Sue them, they're free......" Zi Chen said directly.
He couldn't do the slaughter of these captives, but he wouldn't be stupid enough to take care of them at this time.
He was able to contain the Red Fire Clan warriors, and he was able to contain the more than a thousand surviving captives because they had proved their worth with their own blood, and he would not be polite to the people of this small tribe.
"I know, it's just my lord, even so, I still need to hold the other party's iron cavalry for two quarters of an hour, and my subordinates are willing to bring a thousand, no, five hundred soldiers to stay behind and break the queen!" Luo Yun said solemnly.
"No, you and Chiguev will lead the cavalry to retreat first, and I will arrange the people who are broken!"
"Who?" asked Luo Yun and Chiguev, puzzled.
Since you have chosen to retreat together, it is impossible for too many people to stay behind, and if you want to stop the trailing pursuers with a small number of people, then these people must have enough strength.
But Zi Chen let Luo Yun and Chiguyev go first, as soon as they left, who would still be able to take on this person?
"I ......," Zi Chen said lightly.
"My lord......" Luo Yun was taken aback, seeing the resolute look in Zi Chen's eyes, the words he wanted to persuade came to his lips but became: "Please let your subordinates follow your adult to break off together!"
"My ......, my lord"
"You don't need to say anything, I'll just stay alone, you guys go quickly!" Chiguev on the side was also about to speak, but was directly interrupted by Zi Chen.
Hearing his last words, everyone's faces became extremely shocked?
How can a person break off? This is simply looking for death? (To be continued......
