Chapter 734, Enemy Attack
Back in time, this morning, when there was no rebellion in the Forbidden City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Distant Zagu tribe, outside the sand city.
The 300,000 Zagu army armed with spears and sharp weapons, dressed in black armor, followed behind the noble minister Gildo and the military advisor Cha Tumu, and left the city in a mighty way and marched towards the Central Plains!
"Master Cha, why did you keep a calm face early in the morning? Could it be that someone offended you?"
Sitting on the saddle, holding the reins in his hand, wearing a majestic armor, his expression was full of spirit, and he blinded the cha civil engineering who was walking with the royal horse beside him, and Guildo asked with a smile.
Beside him, in contrast to Gildo, Cha Tumu sat on the back of his horse with a scimitar hanging from his waist, his face gloomy.
This time the army was sent to attack the Central Plains, although there was an edict from the king, and Cha Tumu obeyed the orders, but he was very dissatisfied with letting Gildo rule the army!
Gildo is a noble minister of the Zagu tribe, and he should be a civil official! This matter of sending troops to fight should be commanded by himself, not assisted by the sidelines!
"Your Excellency, it's not child's play to go into battle to kill the enemy! If you have three longs and two shorts, how can I go back and explain to the king..."
Although he was not convinced in his heart, it was not appropriate to fight infighting at this moment, shook his head, and said coldly.
"Hehe... Tsama bothered... I should protect myself..."
Hearing this, Gildeau waved his hand and chuckled.
After a long time, Gildeau led an army of 300,000 men over the mountains outside the city and into a wood.
After a moment's walk, Gildeau suddenly pulled the reins, stopped his horse and looked around.
"Noble Minister, why did you stop? Tonight we are going to attack the frontier city, we need to hurry up, don't delay the hour..."
Beside him, he also stopped the fierce horse, looked at Gildo, and said in a strange manner.
"Hmph, Lord Cha, as a military advisor, haven't you noticed... What's unusual about the surroundings?"
Retracting his gaze and frowning slightly, Gildeau asked with a solemn face.
"Unusual?"
Hearing this, he scoffed and didn't care, Cha Tumu simply glanced around.
Just glanced at it, and Cha Tumu also looked solemn.
The surrounding woods seem to be normal, but they are very abnormal! There is something wrong with the tranquility around them! There is not a single sound of insects and birds in this woods!
"All the soldiers listen to the order! Be on guard all around! Beware of an ambush!"
Finding that this matter was strange and that something was wrong, Cha Tumu waved his hand and immediately ordered.
Hearing the order of the military advisor, the warriors of the Zagu tribe immediately looked vigilant and clenched the sharp weapons in their hands.
Then, as the Zagu army continued its march, Gildo furrowed his brows and looked around.
Suddenly, at this moment, the horse's hooves stepped on the ground, and the ground suddenly collapsed, and the fierce horse roared, and wanted to fall to the ground!
He was already on guard, and immediately noticed that Gildeau immediately turned over and jumped and rolled off his horse!
Although they are old, the Zagu people are brave and good at fighting, and Gildo has not been injured, but is a little embarrassed!
At the same time, when the fierce horse falls into the dirt pit, the horse's hooves touch the hemp rope buried in the dirt, triggering a trap!
Suddenly, in the dense bushes around him, the gunpowder that had already been buried exploded instantly!
"Boom !!"
In an instant, stone chips flew, fires splashed, and the sound of explosions was deafening!
In the violent explosion, many Zagu warriors were killed and seriously injured and fell to the ground, and there were bursts of screams in the woods!
"All the armies are on alert! There is an enemy attack! There is an enemy attack!"
With the explosion of gunpowder, which alarmed the fierce horse, Cha Tumu sat on the back of the horse and swayed, panicked and hurriedly ordered.
After the explosion subsided, two Zagu warriors lifted Gildo up from the ground, and then everyone gathered in a group to protect Chatumu and Gildo, and guard the surroundings!
Only, after a long time, the woods were surprisingly quiet, and no enemies appeared!
"It seems that this is just a trap, and there are no enemies in ambush..."
Re-mounted on another fiery horse, and seeing that there had been no movement for a long time, Gildeau guessed in a deep voice.
After saying that, Gildo looked at a Zagu warrior behind him and asked, "Adjutant General Hand, what are the casualties of our army?"
"Your Excellency, 300 of our army were killed, and 500 were seriously wounded..."
Saluting respectfully, the lieutenant general replied.
Hearing this, Gildeau frowned, but did not care.
These 800 casualties are only a drop in the bucket of the 300,000 army!
"Adjutant General Hand, leave a thousand people here, bury the dead warriors on the spot, and heal the other seriously injured as soon as possible... Since there is no enemy in ambush, the army continues on its way!"
Beside him, he nodded, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered to continue walking.
"Wait!"
However, before he finished speaking, Gildeau waved his hand and stopped him.
"Your Majesty, what is the matter with you?"
Seeing this, Cha Tumu looked at Gildor, and asked with a smile.
"An ambush has been set up here, and it seems that the enemy army has already been prepared, and there must be a danger ahead! Send 3,000 men and horses to open the way and probe forward..."
Frowning deeply, Gildeau said thoughtfully.
With that, Gildeau immediately ordered to send 3,000 men to explore the way, while he and the others waited for news!
An hour later, the 300 fallen Zagu warriors were buried on the spot, but the 3,000 men and horses who went to explore the way did not return!
"Your Excellency, three thousand people have not returned yet... I'm afraid something happened..."
Pacing to Gildeau's side, Adjutant Han said in a rough voice with a worried expression.
"Yes, it seems that there is indeed an ambush ahead..."
Nodding, Gildo's face grimaced.
"Your Excellency, now that the three thousand men and horses are missing, in my opinion, let's continue on our way... Don't forget, we must break through the frontier tonight, go straight to the Central Plains, and cooperate with the black-clothed landlord inside and outside, don't delay the big thing..."
Beside him, he turned over his horse, looked at Gildeau, and reminded in a deep voice.
"Lord Cha, I naturally know that the big thing is important, but there is an enemy ambush ahead, so you need to be cautious..."
Shaking his head, Gildordo retorted.
"Your Excellency, we have an army of 300,000 troops! We are invincible! Even if there is an ambush ahead? I said uglyly, if you delay the big thing, when you return to the city, in front of the king, I can tell the truth, when the king blames you, don't blame me..."
Seeing that Gildo was afraid of tigers and wolves, Cha Tumu snorted lightly and said coldly.
"Okay! The army obeys the order! Keep going!"
Hearing this, although he was angry in his heart, he could not refute it, and Gildeau turned over his horse, waved his hand, and ordered.
Listening to the order of the noble minister, the Zagu army marched forward again.
After a short time, everyone came to a narrow road with two stone walls.
And this road is full of corpses, and the flesh and blood are blurred! It is the 3,000 men and horses who have just come to explore the way!
