Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 75
"Appreciate~"

About an hour later, Gebatu, who led more than 3 cavalrymen who had been rectified, finally came to this battlefield.

The raid just now caught Hegel by surprise. Nearly 7000 people died under the two rounds of shock from the guard battalion just now. In addition, about a few hundred people were injured.

Fortunately, the weather is cold now, and the wound stopped bleeding quickly. Among the hundreds of people, the slightly injured can still hold on.

He led a large army to come, but the target was a group of broken limbs and broken arms. Looking at the clothes on these corpses, it was clear that they were the three thousand cavalry he sent.

A full 3000 people!

Just gone, being annihilated here by the opponent, Gebatu felt his heart twitch and ache!

He waved his hand with an ugly face, and someone immediately stepped forward to check the battlefield.

Not long after, the man came back.

Gerbatu listened to the report quietly with a gloomy face.

"Back to Khan, the battlefield has been divided into two parts. In the part in front of us, most of the tribe's corpses are intact, but their bodies are riddled with holes, which should be caused by arrows.

Most of the clansmen farther away had mutilated corpses. Except for those who were hit by a huge force, most of them died under sharp weapons. This kind of death is exactly the same as the casualties caused by which cavalry we encountered before. Killed by the Black Armored Cavalry! "

After quietly listening to the report, Gebatu pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked: "It may be seen from the wound of the arrow, what kind of arrow is it made of?"

The inspector recalled it for a while and then replied firmly: "Back to the Khan, it must be an iron arrow! Most of my family uses bone arrows, which are easy to break when shot, and they must not be cleaned so cleanly. More or less There will be broken arrows left in the body.

Furthermore, the wound was neat and smooth, so it must have been caused by a sharp blade. It is impossible for a bone arrow to cause such an effect! "

"Is it all caused by iron arrows?"

Gebatu narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"Back to Khan, all of them!"

"Then there is only one possibility..."

Gerbatu frowned slowly.

At first he was attacked by surprise, he thought it would be other tribes on the grassland, maybe the Huns who happened to pass by or something else?
But judging from the information just now, the cavalry who attacked him and the others must be from the south without a doubt!
Why do you say that?First of all, there is an extreme lack of arrows on the grassland, and at least the average person on the battlefield in front of me died under the arrows, and each person's body had at least four or five arrows on their bodies, and there were as many as a dozen. Branches of arrows.

In addition, it is impossible for the enemy's arrows to be able to hit all of them, and the enemy has invested at least [-] to [-] arrows on this battlefield!
For the grassland tribes, this is not a small amount. Even the arrows stored in their Hegel tribe probably do not exceed 50.

To deal with half of the 3000 people in the area, they are willing to use [-] to [-] arrows, and they are all iron arrows. Except for the southerners with advanced iron smelting technology in the south, no tribe on the grassland can be so arrogant!
Thinking about it again, at least when the other party made a surprise attack, it seemed that they heard the voice of the southerner, and the true identity of the cavalry was clearly on the paper.

But the strange thing is, it wasn't long before I was dispatched, why did the southerners know that they were going to invade them, and still ambushed them here?
unless……

The information has leaked, and they Hegel have the secret work of the Southerners!
Thinking of this, Gerbatu's face became extremely ugly.

The loss of 1 cavalry is not a big deal. Even if [-] people have been lost, the clan's combat power is close to [-]% is not a big deal. As long as they can attack Liaodong County, the looted things will be enough to make up for all losses.

But the problem now is that their actions seem to have been discovered by the southern court, and troops were sent to snipe and attack them.

The other party must have made preparations at the border, and the invasion of their own tribe might have fallen short!

They have already lost [-]% of their combat strength, and if they go back empty-handed, then this winter for Hegel may be extremely sad. It is a blessing to have half of them left after the winter.

At that time, the best result would be to be annexed by other tribes after the end of the Eastern Season, and the name Hegel would cease to exist from then on.

And he will never allow that!

He bowed his head and pondered for a moment, his eyes flashed fiercely, and immediately ordered the whole army to return to the water source to replenish the water source before continuing to Yunzhou County.

He had already figured it out, the southerners only dared to use these methods to sneak attack them, instead of fighting them head-on, there was only one possibility, and that was that the opponent's strength should not be as many as theirs.

As long as he is vigilant on the next road, the opponent will not dare to act rashly under the disadvantage of numbers, and the army can safely enter the border of Yunzhou County and force the opponent to confront without himself and others.

On this grassland, the southerners are no match for their Tatar cavalry. As long as the opponent comes out of the dark, he is confident of defeating him!
After deciding on the next strategy, Gerbatu immediately ordered his warriors to start picking up the corpses of the tribe knights who died here.

A group of Hegel cavalry immediately began to pack up the corpses of their companions excitedly.

Don't blame them for being so happy. According to the custom in the Tatar army, as long as you carry the other party's body back, you will inherit everything he has, his property, and all his women will be yours.

So for the Tatar cavalry, bringing back the corpse of a fellow robe may be more rewarding than a big battle.

After gathering the corpses all over the ground, Geba Tudang ordered to return, and the mighty army followed him to the water source.

But what he didn't know was that at this moment, the soldiers of the guard battalion who had retreated from the water source had already begun to build fortifications at the place where the nameless lake was written.

Wooden stakes were laid around the lake one by one, and the silver-white thing was flattened in the middle of the stakes, and a thin rope was stretched backwards through the grass to reach the hands of the soldiers of the guard battalion.

The horse traps in front of and behind the wooden posts were dug out and then simply covered up. The 2000 guard battalion infantry were divided into [-] people and stationed around the lake to surround the entire lake. Ding Hongguang took [-] backup The team guards the east.

By the time it was about to get dark, the soldiers of the guard battalion had completed all the fortifications, and the surrounding area of ​​the unnamed lake had been surrounded by countless fortifications for strict defense.

At this time, Gebatu, who had cleaned up the battlefield, finally arrived late with the remaining 3 people.

When it was still three or four miles away from the lake, Gebatu could vaguely see the faint glow of fire in front of him.

There was a thump in my heart!
Where are the people? Looking at the flames, there must be a lot of people!
When the army got closer and saw the soldiers of the guard battalion faintly lined up under the firelight beside the lake, Gebatu only felt a roar in his head!

A bad premonition suddenly rose from my heart!

No, the enemy is trying to cut off his own path!
