Less than a mile away from the main force of the Southern Army in Xixia Town, Zeng Yi and more than two thousand blood-clad guards were hiding behind a slope. Two figures from the distance rushed back quickly. "Three and four, what's going on?"
Just now, Lao San and Lao Si sneaked forward to investigate.
The two of them calmed down for a moment, and then the fourth man said: "The Xixia people have been marching for a long time, and now they are really resting in place, but depending on the situation, they won't be able to rest for long. Those Xixia people have not taken off their armor, and they have all their weapons!
"
"It seems that these Xixia people are planning to continue their rapid march!"
To be honest, the environment in the Western Regions, except for some oases in areas where large and small cities are located, is basically an endless desert. In such an environment, it is not an easy task to sneak attack an army of more than 100,000 people.
.
"What should I do? Do you want to take advantage of the other person's rest and attack him?" The boss looked at Zeng Yi and said.
Before Zeng Yi could speak, Lao Si shook his head and said, "It's not easy. Although the Xixia people are really resting, there are thousands of cavalry on guard outside!"
"It's hard to deal with them, but we have to attack them. Now that they are here, we can't let them rest easily! But we have too few people to tangle with the Xixia people. Let's make a sneak attack and retreat immediately!" With that, Zeng Yi commanded the group.
There are more than 2,000 blood-clad guards, wearing armor and preparing for a surprise attack!
The Bloody Guards' more than 2,000 cavalrymen charged very fast. In the blink of an eye, the mighty Bloody Guards heavy cavalry had just charged, and the cavalry on guard outside the Zhennan Army noticed the movement. However,
Zeng Yi and the others were so fast that before the Xixia people could react, Zeng Yi and the others had already rushed over!
Although the Xixia people numbered 100,000, Zeng Yi and the others did not struggle with them at all. With a wave of javelins and a wave of charges, they killed thousands of Xixia light cavalry who were hastily sealing seals, and then immediately turned around and retreated.
The Xixia people had just rested for a while when they were attacked by a surprise attack. Obviously, the Xixia people did not expect that they would be attacked halfway, and they were suddenly in chaos. By the time they stabilized the situation, Zeng Yi and others had already disappeared.
General Zhennan, who had just taken over, was very angry. After stabilizing the morale of the army, he immediately ordered the cavalry to pursue him. Zeng Yi and the others ran for a while and heard the sound of horse hooves behind them. They immediately sent someone to investigate and found that
, the Xixia people only chased less than five thousand light cavalry!
Zeng Yi immediately ordered the blood-clothed guards to turn around, "This new general of Zhennan in Xixia, really underestimates us, right? He dares to pursue us with less than 5,000 light cavalry? Haha, since he wants to deliver food, then we have to
Take it! Brothers, kill him with a carbine!"
Zeng Yi's four-person arrows and more than 2,000 blood-clad guards launched a countercharge against the Xixia light cavalry that was chasing them. The result is self-evident. The Xixia light cavalry was probably the opponent of the blood-clad heavy cavalry, and was defeated by Zeng Yi.
After killing thousands more people, they fled in panic.
Seeing the cavalry who had fled back in embarrassment, General Zhennan became even more angry. He sent his troops to continue the pursuit. It would be rude not to kill Zeng Yi and others, but he was immediately stopped by the deputy general. "General, it's important.
! The main city is in danger, we can’t waste too much time! These people must be sent by the enemy to harass us, and their purpose is to lure us into pursuit and thus hold back our army!"
Although General Zhennan was angry, he could still tell the difference between priority and urgency. After being attacked by Zeng Yi and others, the Xixia people simply stopped resting and set off with their troops! After Zeng Yi and others escaped, they circled around and followed them again
Joined the main force of Xixia Zhennan Army.
"Made, the Xixia people have learned a lesson now!" After being attacked once, the Xixia people were much more cautious. They placed many sentries within one mile of the army. Zeng Yi and the others were thinking of a sneak attack. They must have had time to react.
The Xixia people marched for dozens of miles in a hurry. Zeng Yi and others tried several times but failed to find a suitable opportunity.
"Fuck! The Xixia people are not slow at this rate. At this speed, we should reach our ambush location in half a day! No, we have to find a way to delay it!" Just when they were anxious, the Xixia people suddenly slowed down.
speed!
"What's going on? Hurry up and check with a few people!" Among the blood-clothed guards, a few clever guys immediately ran out. After a while, several people came back. "Elder brother! There is an oasis ahead, and the Xixia people are replenishing fresh water!
"
Upon hearing this, Zeng Yi and Lao San's eyes suddenly lit up! Lao Si looked at Zeng Yi and said: "The Xixia people are anxious to increase the number of troops in the main city. They are leaving in such a hurry. They must not have too much food, grass and fresh water! Otherwise!
They won't stop here to replenish fresh water!" Just as Lao Si said, the attack launched by the players was too sudden. The Xixia Zhennan Army had no equipment at all, so they set off immediately. In order to rush for time, the Xixia people kept everything simple,
Traveling lightly, they only carried two days' worth of food and very little fresh water!
"This is easy to handle!" Zeng Yi suddenly smiled, "Let's go and attack them. The target is the logistics troops who are replenishing fresh water!"
Zeng Yi and the blood-clothed guards immediately set off, took a detour, and rushed directly to the oasis. Although their whereabouts were soon discovered by the Xixia people, they even immediately sent out cavalry to stop Zeng Yi and others. However, Zeng Yi and the others could not
Don't get entangled with the Xixia light cavalry, the target is the thousands of logistics support troops!
A wave of charges broke through the Xixia light cavalry troops, and the blood-clad guards rushed straight to the oasis. Thousands of Xixia people who were replenishing fresh water were shocked and quickly dropped the water bottles in their hands and picked up their weapons.
"Rush over! Anyone with poison in the bag will be thrown into the lake!" As he said that, Zeng Yi took out a bag of poison from his backpack, without even having time to check it, and threw it directly into the small lake of the oasis.
.
The blood-clothed guards followed suit and took out more or less poison from their backpacks and threw them into the lake. After that, the blood-clothed guards immediately turned around and ran away. The Xixia people were really angry, and most of the cavalry in the army were
Chased out.
"Damn it, we've just stung a hornet's nest! Brothers, retreat quickly!" After running for more than ten miles, the Xixia people saw that they couldn't catch up with Zeng Yi and others, so they turned around and turned back a little indignantly.
In this wave of sneak attacks, the blood-clothed guards actually suffered a lot of casualties. It is estimated that hundreds of people fell. However, compared with the results, they were nothing. They killed hundreds of Xixia Zhennan troops, so there is nothing to say. The most important thing is that
The Xixia people stopped replenishing fresh water and sprinkled poison in the lake. In this oasis, the Xixia people must not be able to replenish fresh water! (To be continued)
