The scout centurion came to Politra covered in blood and told his tragic experience.
"I understand. I have ordered the scouts who have returned successfully to rest temporarily. We will organize a group to go out to investigate in the evening. The enemy is so heavily guarded now. There must be some ulterior secrets."
Hearing that the enemy's defenses were so tight, Politra's brows furrowed even more tightly. He now urgently wanted to know what the hell the Chinese were doing.
"Yes, I understand."
The scout centurion glanced at Politra. Hearing that the other party wanted to attack again at night, he had no choice. This is the fate of a soldier. He must obey orders no matter what.
"Well, don't report this matter to the general for the time being. He has been working too hard during this period. Let's wait until we have the results in the evening."
Politra nodded. Although he knew that Hariwan was eager to know the situation of the Chinese people, it really made him feel a little shameless to tell him about the situation now. He would wait until night to investigate.
"yes."
The Kushan army in Heldvar City is still in a tight formation, because they don't know when the Chinese will attack, so they don't dare to relax for a moment, because they don't know if the opponent will come over when they relax their vigilance.
"No news yet from Politra?
It’s already noon, the Chinese army has not attacked, and there is no news from the scouts?”
Politra did not come to report the military situation, but this made Harivan very worried. The longer the time dragged on, the more nervous he became.
"General, do you want me to ask General Politra?"
Seeing Harivan so anxious, the captain of the guard couldn't help but ask him questions.
"No, the current situation is that either the scouts sent out have not returned, or they cannot break out at all. Are you going to ask Politra if he is not putting pressure on him?
Just wait quietly, sometimes no news is not necessarily bad news.”
Hariwan couldn't help but shook his head. If he asked Politra in this situation, wouldn't he show that he didn't believe in the other party's strength and that he wanted to urge the other party? The military situation was already enough to irritate everyone. It's useless to engage in those things, so it's better to be honest.
The wait comes well.
"yes."
After glancing at Hariwan, the guard commander retreated directly, leaving him alone sitting there.
"General, Colonel Zhou Zhou is back."
The enemy's scouts were forced back to the city, and the scout captain also returned to the military camp to resume his duties.
"Let Zhou Zhou come over."
Zang Ba glanced at Gao Shun and asked Zhou Zhou to come over and reply.
"Zhou Zhou met General Zang Ba and General Gao Shun."
Zhou Zhou entered the tent and saluted directly to the two generals.
"Okay, no need to be polite, just get up and see how the battle is going. Has the enemy sent any scouts?"
Zang Ba waved his hand to Zhou Zhou, gesturing for him to get up and speak.
"Back to the general, the enemy did send out scouts, numbering about a hundred people. Faced with the stranglehold of our scouts, only about 20 people retreated back to the city, and they did not break through the defense line we set up at all."
Zhou Zhou directly told the results of today's battle. Although there were only less than a hundred people in the battle, those were all elite soldiers and elite scouts in the army. There were definitely not too many of them. The most important thing was that these scouts did not rush out.
, it proves that the Kushan army in the city is still blind and deaf, and the strategic intention of the two generals has been achieved.
"Well, that's it. You have to be alert at night. I suspect that the other party has no results during the day and comes out at night. We must not let them take advantage of it."
Gao Shun nodded. He didn't believe that the enemy would be finished in one wave. There would definitely be a second wave, a third wave, and a fourth wave. Because the opponent couldn't figure out the situation on his side, it would be a bit difficult to sleep and eat.
"No, I have made arrangements a long time ago. Don't worry, two generals. Not even a fly can fly out of the city of Heldvar, let alone humans."
After Zhou Zhou saluted the two men, he left the camp directly and returned to the front line to arrange, waiting for the Kushan people's second attack in the evening.
Time passed little by little, the sun set and the moon rose, and the Kushan scouts in the city also started preparations, waiting for real nightfall to go out of the city again to investigate the situation.
As night fell, Politra came to the scouts and looked at the 300 scout cavalry who were ready. He didn't know how many of them would be able to break out of the encirclement and how many of them would be able to return victoriously.
"I know that Chinese scouts must be patrolling the outside of the city. I also know that there may be more Chinese scouts than you, but you are all the elites of the Kushan Empire. I believe that no matter what happens, you will not be afraid or flinch.
, tell me, is that so?"
A flash of light flashed in Politra's eyes. Although he understood that China's scouts were more powerful than his own, he also believed that his scouts could definitely break through the opponent's defense and detect the opponent's true identity.
"General, there's no need to say anything more, we're all ready."
"Yes, give the order, General."
"We will definitely bring back the true intentions of the Chinese people."
There was neither joy nor sadness on the faces of the scouts. They knew how powerful the enemy outside was, and this might be their last attack, so everyone had already realized that at most they would be wrapped in horse leather, but for Kushan, they would still deserve to die.
"Okay, I won't say any more and just serve the wine."
Politra looked at everyone, with a dignified look in his eyes, and then shouted to the people around him, asking them to bring up the wine that had been prepared.
"I don't have anything to give you. This bowl of wine is just to wish you all a good start. If you go out with 332 people, you will get 332 people back. When you come back, I will serve you a drink to celebrate. Let's do it.
"
Politra drank the wine in the large bowl in one gulp.
"Dry."
"Dry."
"Dry."
The three hundred and thirty-two scouts also drank all the wine in the large bowl at the same time, and then dropped the large bowl in their hands to the ground.
"Set off."
The scout centurion wiped the drink from his beard, pulled out the scimitar from his waist, and drove his horse forward. Behind him were 331 scouts who followed him and rushed out of the city of Heldvar towards the Chinese camp.
Rush away.
"General, they have left."
Seeing Politra in a daze, the guard spoke directly to him, signaling that all the scouts had left.
"Pour the wine."
Politra's eyes were still looking at the direction the scout had left, and he signaled his guards to pour wine again.
"General, the general has an order not to drink alcohol unless necessary during war."
Hearing Politra's words, the guards around him looked embarrassed. If the reason for drinking with the scout just now was for strength, drinking now would be a bit contrary to Harivan's order.
"I know, bring me the wine."
Politra remained the same, just asking his bodyguard to pour the wine.
"yes."
The bodyguard couldn't resist Politra, so he picked up the wine jar and filled Politra's big bowl with wine.
"Gudu."
"Come again."
"Gudu."
"Come again."
"Gudu."
After drinking three bowls of wine in a row, Politra dropped the big bowl in his hand to the ground.
"We must all come back."
Looking at the slowly closing city gate, Politra finally spoke out what was in his heart.
"The enemy has left the city, numbering about three hundred. Scouts from all departments are preparing to carry out hunting operations. Don't let any enemy go."
For the night battle, all the scouts of General Zhou Zhou gathered together, numbering more than a thousand people. Now they were like wolves wandering in the wilderness, revealing their sharp fangs in the dark night, and began to attack
The Kushan scouts launched another hunt.
Even under the pitch-black night sky, both sides were fighting fiercely, and there were fighting crowds and wanton blood everywhere.
"Centurion, there are too many enemies, we can't rush through them."
A scout approached the centurion. They had never imagined that there would be so many Chinese scouts. It seemed that it would be a luxury to break through the opponent's defense tonight.
"If you can't rush through, you have to rush forward. Let a small group of people dismount their horses to avoid the battlefield and go on foot to explore the enemy's situation. They must get the opponent's situation."
The centurion glanced at the dark sky. Under the current situation, the target of the cavalry was too big. If he wanted to break through, he could only take a sideways approach. He asked the scouts to dismount and break through the battlefield in the form of infantry to explore the situation of the Chinese camp.
The thirty scouts immediately dismounted and began to move forward to look for opportunities to break through the opponent's blockade.
The battle is still going on. Blood and life are worthless at this moment. It has to be said that the Kushan scouts' strategy of dismounting is still very effective. The Kushan scouts who lost their horses lied on the ground and pretended to be dead when they encountered the Chinese cavalry.
, although some were discovered, but there were always people who crossed the blockade and broke through the frontline blockade of the Chinese scouts.
"Walk."
After taking a look at the situation around them, the Kushan scouts jumped up one after another and headed towards the Chinese camp.
The Kushan scouts advanced on foot. Although there was no obstruction in front of them, when they got really close to the camp, they saw the Chinese scouts patrolling around again.
"what to do?"
The Kushan scouts were in trouble. Originally they thought they were fine, but they ended up in this situation now.
"Creeping forward, the General and General Politra have high hopes for us, and we must not let them down."
A man who looked like the leader gritted his teeth and directly ordered his soldiers to crawl forward and infiltrate the Chinese camp.
Late at night, a dozen figures crawled on the ground and headed towards the Chinese camp.
"Everyone must be careful and vigilant. Although there are captains on the front line blocking us, we must keep our spirits up. If anything slips through the net, we must capture it."
A team leader took a look at the situation around him and commanded the cavalry behind him to be on guard and not to be careless.
"promise."
All the cavalrymen nodded one after another, and then began to follow the team leader to carefully explore the surrounding situation.
"Um?"
A cavalryman suddenly frowned and found a black shadow crawling in the distance.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing what the cavalry said, the cavalry beside him also frowned and asked.
