MTL - Portable Space Can be Summoned-Chapter 1018 Grassland Chase
The Xiao cavalry army discovered the scout cavalry in the grassland, and Zhou Zhu was keenly aware that this was a large-scale southward march of the barbarians, at least tens of thousands of cavalry.
In order to protect Yang Yuan's safety, he only left a few scouts to scout the number of barbarian cavalry and monitor their actions by the way.
The other 3,000 cavalry troops all protected Yang Yuan and returned to Zhenman City.
If there was no Yang Yuan on this trip, Zhou Zhu would definitely have to get close to the barbarian coalition forces, and after finding out their exact number, he would even have to fight with the barbarians before retreating to Zhenman City while fighting.
Not only can it hit the morale of the barbarian coalition forces, but it can also buy time for the rear.
Zhenman City is not the same as before, it would be bad if it was burned down by the flames of war.
It's best to stop the barbarians on the grassland north of Zhenman City, if not, don't destroy Zhenman City too much.
It would be a pity and a pity if the new city built by everyone was destroyed by the barbarians!
Moreover, there are dozens of chambers of commerce in the city, and tens of thousands of people in the city rely on these chambers of commerce to live.
Only when the chamber of commerce is in operation can they have food. The development time of Zhenman City is too short, and the household savings of the people are too small. If the war stops the chamber of commerce in the city for a few days, many people’s homes will be in trouble!
However, during the war, the government will distribute food, and people will not starve to death.
Yang Yuan didn't even think about taking three thousand cavalry troops to attack the barbarian coalition.
If it was before the establishment of Qianguo, he might try to do so.
But it was different now, he had to restrain the impulse in his heart.
If an accident happened to him on the grassland, the great development trend of Qian country would be interrupted.
"You can't be impulsive!"
Yang Yuan didn't order Zhou Zhu to turn around and fight the barbarians, but ran towards Zhenman City with all his strength.
The behavior of the Xiaocai Army made the barbarian commander a little puzzled.
He had gone south with King Khan to invade Cangyang County a long time ago, and he had fought against the Xiao cavalry army not once or twice.
Being able to save his life under Ma Teng many times, the commander of the barbarian coalition army still has some skills, especially his sense of smell on the battlefield, which is absolutely the best among all generals.
Otherwise, they would not have successfully escaped so many times.
When did the Valiant Cavalry find that they didn't pounce on them like a pack of wolves discovering their prey?
Although it is very shameful to compare yourself with prey, facts are facts, and they will not become fake just because of their grooming!
The abnormal reaction of the Xiaocavalry immediately made him smell something unusual.
"There is something wrong with this Xiaocai army, they must have other more important tasks!"
It is definitely not easy to make the Xiaocai army give up the task of chasing and killing their barbarian coalition forces.
Tatamu, the commander of the barbarian coalition, thought of two possibilities.
The Xiaocavalry Army is escorting one or a batch of very important items, but I don't know what it is;
Or they're escorting someone very important and nobody knows.
But no matter what they're escorting, or have other more important missions, sabotage is the way to go!
The barbarian commander had this idea in his heart, and it lingered in his mind indelibly.
It is too tempting to have the opportunity to sabotage the important mission of the Xiaocai Army and possibly cause heavy casualties to the Xiaocai Army!
The barbarian commander cannot be ignored.
"This opportunity must be seized!"
"Order the Golden Eagle Guard and the Golden Wolf Guard to send two thousand troops each, and three thousand cavalry from other major tribes to pursue the Xiaocavalry ahead.
Be sure to destroy their mission, they are escorting the items, so grab the items;
They are escorting people, so they will **** them for me, and if they can't **** them, they will kill them! "
The two commanders of the Golden Eagle Guard and the Golden Wolf Guard set off immediately after receiving the order.
They also dealt with the Valiant Cavalry Army, but the number of head-to-head confrontations was not many.
The Golden Eagle Guard and the Golden Wolf Guard are the elite of the two royal tribes, and they will not be dispatched easily.
But every dispatch is for important military operations.
When Ma Teng led the Xiaocavalry to expel the barbarian tribes for three thousand miles, two elite cavalry fought against the Xiaocavalry.
At that time, their combat goal was to cover the retreat of other tribes.
In order to prevent the barbarian tribes from being destroyed in despair, Ma Teng did not force them too much, but chased after each tribe from a distance. If any tribe showed signs of fatigue or weakness, they would speed up and rush forward to fight.
The barbarian tribes are not like the cavalry army who go into battle lightly. The pots and pans, the old, the young, the sick and the disabled seriously slowed down the speed of the barbarian tribes and weakened the tribe's defense force.
The longer the marching team, the more flaws will be exposed!
The other barbarian tribes sent troops too slowly, and by the time they agreed to send troops, most of the tribes in the south had been beheaded by the Xiaocai army!
The Golden Eagle Khan had no choice but to discuss with the leader of the Golden Wolf tribe. The two royal tribes sent troops first to cover the retreat of some tribes, and then gathered troops to repel the Qianguo cavalry.
The Golden Eagle Guard and the Golden Wolf Guard combined 20,000 soldiers, and the 20,000 ordinary cavalry in the tribe fought with the Xiao cavalry army more than ten times on the huge battlefield of the 3,000-mile grassland in the south.
The Xiaocavalry Army and the Golden Wolf (Eagle) Guards did not have too many casualties, and the injured were always ordinary barbarian cavalry.
The 20,000 Golden Wolf (Eagle) Guards lost less than 3,000, and the Xiaocai Army also suffered more than 2,000 casualties. It seems that there is not much difference in casualties between the two.
But don't forget that there are also ordinary barbarian cavalry.
How many casualties did they have?
five thousand!
At least five thousand!
After the tribes in the south had mostly migrated, the cavalry of the two tribes immediately withdrew to their respective tribes.
After the Golden Eagle Khan learned of the casualties of the cavalry, he twitched in distress.
The appearance of the Golden Eagle Guards may not look great, but each Golden Eagle Guard is an elite in the tribe, and it is not possible to select a qualified Golden Eagle Guard from among the ten tribe cavalry.
This time, the Golden Eagle Guard had a total of more than a thousand casualties, which was painful to the marrow!
…
This time going south, Golden Eagle Khan promised a lot of conditions in order to persuade the leader of the Golden Wolf Tribe to send the Golden Wolf Guard.
Golden Eagle Guard and Golden Wolf Guard knew that what they were going to pursue was the Xiao Cavalry Army, and their fighting spirit was very high.
The last time there was no winner, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, but the cavalry in the tribe suffered a lot.
"I can't let you run away this time!"
It's as if it was the Xiaocai Army who withdrew first last time.
The horses of the Golden Wolf Guard and the Golden Eagle Guard are all carefully selected, and they can run faster and farther than ordinary barbarian war horses.
Although it is not as good as the imperial war horse, it can barely see the back of the Xiao cavalry army.
Moreover, they have more troops than the Xiaocai Army. If they pursue them wholeheartedly, they will really bring a little trouble to the Xiaocai Army!
Yang Yuan and the warriors of the Xiaocavalry Army are not iron men, and the imperial horses also need to rest and eat grass.
Zhou Zhu took the dry food and walked to Yang Yuan while eating, "My lord, we don't have much time to rest, the barbarian cavalry are chasing closely, we have to set off immediately after eating the dry food!"
Yang Yuan swallowed the dry food, took a sip of water from the water bag, and put the dry food down.
No, I've only eaten good food for a few days, now it's hard to swallow dry food!
"It doesn't matter. I'm not really a rich man, so I can't move easily. If I talk about listening to you on the grassland, you can give orders as usual!"
Zhou Zhu was very moved, bowed his hands and saluted, and then immediately went to arrange tactics.
Since the barbarian cavalry were able to catch up, it meant that the horses they sat on should be very good. In order to retreat more smoothly, perhaps some soldiers and horses should be left behind to intercept the pursuers?
Zhou Zhu ordered to leave half of the troops to intercept the pursuers, and the rest to protect Yang Yuan and continue to retreat to Zhenman City!
