Chapter 234 Murderous intention arises
That night, the two infantry groups composed of veterans left the camp early.
Wu Zheng and Su Fei couldn't help but look at each other in shock when they saw the two groups of infantry leaving the camp.
"Su Jun, in your opinion, a war is about to happen?"
After all, this was Wu Zheng's first time encountering this kind of situation, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Su Fei lowered his voice and said, "From a certain point of view, we should be close to ten, but I don't know why the cavalry is not allowed to attack..."
Wu Zheng looked around and whispered, "Could it be that they dislike us as new recruits and are afraid that we might do something bad?"
Su Fei touched his chin and said uncertainly, "Probably not, Liu Junhou is the most brave person in the three armies..."
"All the troops should take a rest quickly?"
The two were discussing secretly when Dub's voice came.
At dawn the next day, Liu Yi gathered the entire army.
Then he led the soldiers back to the hiding place of the Kangju people.
"Is the thief's hiding place ahead?"
The scouts who led the way reported.
"Be careful..."
When the Han army was still more than twenty miles away from where the Kangju people were hiding, they were already noticed by the Kangju people.
At this time, Commander Kang Ju still had illusions, thinking that the Han army was just passing through.
According to the intelligence they received, there will be a Han cavalry passing through here in the next two days heading to Yarkand.
Therefore, Commander Na Kangju did not expect that the Han army would attack him at first.
When Commander Kangju reacted, the cavalry led by Liu Yi was already less than ten miles away from where the Kangju people were hiding.
"Damn it! Who leaked our whereabouts..."
Commander Na Kangju was extremely upset.
However, he was not afraid at this time, because according to the intelligence, this Han army was just a new recruit.
Although the cavalry he led was not as numerous as the Han army, it was the elite of Kangju's country.
"How can a group of new soldiers be the enemy of our elite Kangju..."
After some judgment, Commander Na Kangju decided to compete with the Han army outside the valley.
After repelling the new Han soldiers, they retreated to another camp.
After all, they have been here for so long and have a lot of wealth in their hands.
It was really painful for Commander Kangju to give up so much wealth.
During the morning meal, the Han cavalry led by Liu Yi had arrived outside the valley.
At this time, Kangju's cavalry was already waiting in formation on the grassland outside the valley.
"Array up!"
The Han army quickly formed its formation under the command of Liu Yi, but after all, it was a newly formed army. Although it was very skilled in training, some problems still occurred in the panic before the battle.
Commander Kang Ju saw that the Han army was not in good formation, so he thought it was a good opportunity.
"Warriors attack..."
He immediately led two hundred cavalry to attack, hoping to defeat the Han army in one fell swoop.
"Haha...looking for death!"
Liu Yi couldn't help laughing when he saw the Kangju people coming to kill him.
He yelled and ordered
"Change horses...Arch bows and attack!"
After hearing Liu Yi's order, Wu Zheng subconsciously rushed out with Du Bo.
"Yanxing Formation..."
At this time, the effect of the Han army's strict formation training became apparent, and the Han army's cavalry quickly changed their formation during the march.
"Oops, I was fooled..."
Commander Kangju realized something was wrong but it was too late.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Warriors attack!"
Kangju's cavalry roared towards the Han army.
"Fire arrows..."
"Whoosh whoosh..."
The Han army's archers and cavalry fired the arrows in their hands neatly...
The attack by the Han army's archers and cavalry caused many casualties to the Kangju people.
The Kangju people did not collapse. At this time, their horse archers also began to counterattack the Han army.
The horse archers from both sides came and went, fighting each other.
The two sides were going back and forth, strangulating each other.
At this time, the advantages of the Han army's equipment were fully reflected.
It was difficult for the Kangju people's bows and arrows to penetrate the cotton armor of the Han army's archers, but the leather armor they wore could not block the Han army's arrows at all.
The two sides exchanged shots for only a few minutes, and the Kangju people were already completely at a disadvantage.
"Captain, what should I do?"
Everyone around Commander Kang Ju saw that the situation was not good for them, and asked one after another.
At this time, Commander Kang Ju was hesitating whether to press forward with the entire army.
At this time, the Han army's lances and cavalry had also changed their horses and were ready to attack.
"retreat!"
Commander Kang Ju noticed the situation of the Han army immediately.
Faced with this situation, he made a quick judgment.
There was absolutely no way to escape at this time. Once he chose to escape, it would probably lead to the collapse of the entire army, so he decided to retreat to the camp in the valley and hold on.
"Retreat...back to the mountain stronghold!"
Kang Ju's cavalry were indeed elite. Although the Han army's cavalry tried their best to entangle them, they were still able to get rid of them easily.
After breaking away from the Han cavalry, Kangju's cavalry quickly retreated into the valley under the leadership of their commander.
"Second and third sons, come in!"
When Liu Yi saw that Kang Ju's cavalry had escaped the entanglement of the Han army, he did not show any annoyance.
He just ordered the soldiers to follow the Kangju people and rush into the valley.
"what happened!"
The Kangju people who retreated into the valley felt something was wrong.
They found that there seemed to be a battle in the valley.
The people of Kangju became more vigilant at this time.
When they arrived at their camp, they suddenly heard a "wind"
Then a hail of arrows rushed towards them.
"There's an ambush!"
"retreat!"
Commander Kang Ju yelled and immediately ordered a retreat.
It turned out that the two groups of Han infantry who had set out first last night had already ambushed in the dense forest behind the Kangju people's camp.
When the Kangju people and the Han cavalry were fighting outside the valley, the Han army infantry had already raided and captured the Kangju people's camp.
Although Commander Kang Ju immediately ordered a retreat, it was already too late.
The Han cavalry had entered the valley and surrounded them.
"damn it!"
"Warriors charge!"
