The first thousand four hundred and thirty-eight chapters
Chapter 1438 Total Annihilation
Looking at the current battle situation, Zhao Duo is not afraid of the opponent's scouts, but he just doesn't want to lose too much. Moreover, even if he really tries his best to defeat the opponent, it will only be a lose-lose situation. It is better to wait and see.
Fight and retreat, relying on the cavalry in the city to wipe out all the opponent's scouts.
"promise."
Zhao Duo's order was issued, and the Chinese scouts who were still fighting fiercely began to retreat.
"The enemy's scouts retreated."
The Chinese scouts retreated back, and the Kushan scouts immediately came over to Hermo Tuotuo to report the situation.
"Hunt down the enemy and don't let them escape."
Hearing that the opponent began to retreat, a gleam flashed in Hermo Tuotuo's eyes. Xiandi couldn't help but want to retreat. It was not that easy.
"Is it dangerous to pursue him now?
Our mission is to penetrate behind enemy lines to investigate the Chinese military situation. As long as we defeat them, we will be able to complete the general's instructions."
Fulvana glanced at Helmut Tuotuo. It was obviously not a wise move to chase the enemy now. If he knew that the opponent's retreat would mean he was invincible, he could completely cross the city and go to the rear to explore the situation. Why should he chase the enemy to fight?
"We must do everything we can to eliminate the enemy. Don't just limit yourself to the immediate interests. As long as we can wipe out all the enemy's scouts, then the entire land will be our hunting ground. No matter what the opponent does in the future, we will be able to firmly hold the advantage. It's just military situation."
They are all small problems.”
A flash of light flashed in Hermo Tuotuo's eyes. He also understood what Fulvana said, but his vision was obviously not comparable to that of the local general. The other party was looking at the present, while he was looking at the future. There was no need to do this.
Too much explanation.
"It's better to send some people across the city to prepare for any eventuality."
Although Hermo Tuotuo said that he was very far-sighted, in Fulvana's eyes, these were all false. The most important thing was to complete the task first.
"As you said, fifty cavalrymen will be led by you across the city to detect the enemy in the rear. The remaining troops will follow me to pursue the enemy's scouts and annihilate them all."
Since Falvarna was so insistent, it was somewhat unjustifiable for him not to give him face.
"Yes, then I wish the general victory and the complete annihilation of the Chinese scouts."
Fulvana saluted the other party, then led fifty scouts to break away from the large army and rush towards the rear of the city.
In this way, the Chinese scouts led the Kushan troops to retreat northward, and the cavalry sent to the city also galloped all the way to the city of Suratby.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the scout running back covered in blood, the captain in charge of city defense couldn't help but be stunned.
"Colonel Zhao Duo is leading the enemy's scouts towards the city of Suratby. He means that troops need to be dispatched from the city to wipe out all the enemy's scouts."
The scout had nothing to say and directly told Zhao Duo's arrangements.
"Gather your troops immediately, go out of the city, bypass the enemy's rear, and annihilate them all."
Hearing that his scouts were being suppressed and beaten by the opponent, Colonel Liu Xu had nothing to say. How could he not regain his position after being beaten? He directly ordered the soldiers to assemble out of the city and help Zhao Duo capture the opponent.
"promise."
The city gate opened, and five thousand cavalrymen rushed out under the leadership of Liu Xu. They did not go directly to the battlefield but detoured to avoid the fighting place. If they wanted to fight, they would annihilate all the enemies.
As time passed by, Hermo Tuotuo became more and more anxious, because the closer they were to the opponent's city, the greater their danger.
"General, we can't chase anymore. If their cavalry attacks, we will be in danger."
The guards around Hermo Tuotuo spoke to each other, and they would be really in danger if they moved forward.
"Instruct the entire army to suspend the pursuit and retreat to Gambilas City."
Although Hermo Tuotuo wanted to wipe out all the Chinese scouts, it seemed to be impossible now, so he decisively ordered his troops to retreat and return to Gambilas City.
"The enemy retreated."
The Kushan scouts retreated, and Zhao Duo immediately received the news.
"We can't let them run away. We have them all. Turn the horse's head around and entangle them."
When he heard that the enemy was retreating, how could Zhao Duo let them run away? He directly ordered the army to retreat and fight the enemy.
"promise."
Like a pack of wolves in the wilderness, the Chinese cavalry began to attack the retreating Kushan cavalry.
"The Chinese are coming to kill us."
Seeing the Chinese scouts coming towards him, the Kushan scouts immediately came over to report.
"They must have reinforcements in the city. We ordered the soldiers and horses not to get entangled, and quickly returned to Gambilas City. In addition, we immediately sent people to the city to ask them to send troops to meet us."
Hearing the news from the rear, Hermo Tuotuo's eyes were full of anxiety, fearing what would come. What he was afraid of now was that the enemy would send troops. If he couldn't escape, he would be doomed.
"yes."
The situation on the battlefield instantly reversed, from Silicon Frost chasing Huaxia to Huaxia chasing Kuishang.
"Hurry up."
The speed of life and death was going on here, and Liu Xu on the other side also increased his horse speed to 180, and finally bypassed the battlefield and stood in front of the enemy.
"The entire army must form a formation and we must capture the enemy."
Liu Xu breathed a sigh of relief and finally arrived. The next step was to close the door and beat the dog.
"promise."
Five thousand Yingyang elites lined up in a row, just waiting for the opponent to appear, and they wanted to let the opponent know the power of the Chinese cavalry.
"Rumble."
The sound of horse hooves came closer and closer, and the smoke and dust in the distance gradually became clearer.
"The whole army charges."
Now that the people are here, there is nothing more to say. Liu Xu took out the steel knife from his waist and took the lead to rush out.
Five thousand cavalry charged, the hoofs of the horses shook, the heaven and the earth shook together, and they rushed towards the Kushan cavalry like an overwhelming force.
"No, the whole army is scattered. We can only escape as many as we can."
A trace of fear flashed in the eyes of Hermo Tuotuo at the front. He originally thought that the Chinese soldiers and horses would come from behind, but who knew that the other party would bypass the battlefield first and appear in front of him? It was really insidious and cunning.
ah.
Upon hearing Helmutuo's order, the Kushan cavalry who were originally running in groups instantly separated and formed into a dozen small teams to break out from all directions.
"Want to run?
The whole army is dispersed, and no one is spared."
Five thousand Yingyang cavalry also dispersed instantly to catch the scouts who began to hunt Kushan.
A brutal hunting battle started again. The Kushan scouts were beaten to the point of collapse when faced with the Chinese army, which was much more numerous than themselves. Each one of them was either killed or dismounted and surrendered to the Chinese army.
"Break through them."
There was already a death wish in Hermo Tuotuo's eyes. If he couldn't kill him, his life would end here.
The two sides started fighting again, and there was a flash of blood and blood flying everywhere. There were stumps scattered on the ground and horses moaning in the blood.
"Protect the general to break out."
Up to this point in this battle, it is no longer a matter of competing for strength, but rather who is more determined and has a stronger will to survive.
Under the sworn protection of his personal guards, Hermo Tuotuo also fought his way out and rushed out with more than a dozen riders.
"Don't worry about what's behind, speed up and retreat towards Gambilas."
Hermo Tuotuo, who had broken out of the siege, had long been frightened to pieces. His only thought now was to return to Gambilas and save his life.
"Want to run?"
Seeing that Hermo Tuotuo here had successfully broken through, Liu Xu, who was supervising the battle from behind, showed a sneer on his lips and led his bodyguards to kill the opponent directly.
"General, hurry up, let's stop them."
After taking a look at the Chinese cavalry who was coming to kill them, the guards under Hermo Tuotuo directly pushed them out, and they rode their war horses and rushed towards Liu Xu.
"Separate some people to stop the person who is escaping. Don't let any enemy go."
Seeing the enemy coming towards him, Liu Xu couldn't help but smile. It would be so easy to abandon the car and save the commander.
Nearly a hundred cavalry soldiers divided into two groups and surrounded and annihilated Hermo Tuotuo's personal guards. The remaining troops circled and killed in the direction of Hermo Tuotuo.
"kill."
With murderous intent in his eyes, Hermo Tuotuo killed the Chinese cavalry without fear of death. He knew that he would definitely not survive. Now he could only kill one to make up for his losses, and kill two to earn one.
"Fire the arrow."
Seeing Hermo Tuotuo coming to kill, a sneer escaped from the corner of the captain's mouth. If he wants to fight with him, it depends on whether you have a chance.
Dozens of crossbow arrows flew out in an instant, crossing the space and shooting towards the running Hermo Tuotuo.
Helmo Tuotuo, who was running wildly, was directly shot into a sieve by the flying crossbow arrows, and both men and horses fell into a pool of blood like hedgehogs.
"Leave no one alive, those who resist will be killed, and those who surrender will live."
Liu Xu chopped off the Kushan cavalryman from his horse with a sword, and red blood instantly spilled all over him.
The soldiers under Hermo Tuotuo were all his dead soldiers. Now that the master's family is dead, they will not be able to escape death after they go back. If they escape, their relatives and family members will be affected. It is better to live happily.
Die quickly on this battlefield.
In the end, all of Hermo Tuotuo's soldiers died in the battle, and no one surrendered or fled.
"Go to other places to support."
Nothing was going on here, Liu Xu didn't even look at it, and directly took his soldiers to go elsewhere to support other battlefields.
This scout battle lasted for a long time, and in the end the Kushan scouts were basically wiped out. Only a few dozen of them actually escaped, and only a few dozen of them returned to the city of Gambilas in embarrassment.
After capturing the enemy, Chinese scouts swarmed down again and penetrated into the city of Gambilas to investigate the situation of the Kushans.
Time passed day by day, and Kushan Emperor Vesutiva I finally arrived at Gambilas with his army. When he heard that Hermo Tuotuo died in battle outside the city, he could not help but be silent for a while.
"Hermo Tuotuo was granted the posthumous title of Marquis of the Empire, a reward of a thousand taels of gold, and the city of Gambilas as its fief."
