Chapter 448

Hot hot hot!
The 15 troops who went to Shasha this time walked in the long yellow sand, and they could feel the heat from the soles of their feet every step of the way.The sun ruthlessly shone on the top of everyone's heads, continuously sucking every drop of water from people's bodies. After a while, those who had just drank water felt thirsty again, wishing to drink all the water in the water bag.But they dare not. Everyone has a ration of water. Once they drink it in advance, the road ahead will be even more difficult.

At this time, the army had marched for five days, but the daily journey was less than twenty miles.Every two hours of walking, you have to rest for half an hour.This stop and go, until now, has not walked a hundred miles.The hot weather caused many people in the army to suffer from heatstroke symptoms, and it seriously hindered the progress of the brigade.The [-] cavalry are not comfortable in this desert, but the cavalry is fine, because the horses are basically prairie horses, and they are not used to the climate of the desert, which makes many of the horses look sick, which makes the cavalry feel extremely uncomfortable. .

The scouts' ability to patrol in the desert was greatly reduced. Fortunately, the cavalry of the Western Regions, especially the countries near the desert, the horses and cavalry they rode were more suitable for the desert environment, which allowed the outer patrol area to be expanded.

During these days, Chasha cavalry in twos and threes have been spotted cruising and observing around the army.However, when the scouts were about to go to capture them alive, the other party relied on his familiarity with the car, escaped from the scouts' pursuit in two or three strokes, and fled into the depths of the desert.

Hou Mingfeng had no other way to do this, he could only let him peep around, but stepped up his defense secretly.

As night fell, the desert, which was originally scorching hot, suddenly became extremely cold, with gusts of overcast wind, chilling to the marrow of the bone.

The army camped in the desert, because there was no extra wood to make a fire, so after a full meal, everyone had to cuddle together to keep each other warm.

In the middle of the night, it was very cold, and the soldier on duty, his face flushed from the cold, his nose running, trembling all over, holding a spear, his eyes kept observing the movement around him.

At this moment, behind a sand dune five miles away, a cavalry of ten thousand people quietly gathered here. They were wrapped in thick fur coats, and only a pair of eyes were left on their faces.

In front of this cavalry, several figures stood on the sand dunes, looking at the black shadow in the distance.

"General Hu Richa, there is no fire on the other side, so he must have fallen asleep?" asked a young general next to him.

The tall and tall Hu Richa narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the front solemnly, "Your Highness Heda, the opponent defeated the powerful army of the Golden Werewolf in one fell swoop, so how could he be unprepared? At this moment, there is no light in the camp ahead, not all of them He fell asleep, most likely waiting for us."

"Then what should we do?" Prince Heda curled his lips, "Are we going to retreat this time?"

"No, let's continue to wait." Hu Richa sneered, "In the past few days, I have deliberately sent rangers to cruise around it, just to make them step up their defenses at night. For the past few days, we have been standing still, and the other party passed by The vigilance of the past few days must have been a little lax in our hearts. As long as we guard until dawn, the other party will definitely think that nothing happened tonight and become more lax. At that time, it is time for us to attack."

"Great, General, can we drive the invaders out of Shasha here?" Heda growled excitedly.

"Your Highness is too optimistic." Hu Richa said with a wry smile, "We only have [-] cavalry, and the opponent has tens of thousands of people. How can we rely on a night attack to defeat the opponent? Our goal this time is a surprise attack The other party's food and supplies were burned, forcing the enemy to retreat."

"Ah? Is it just like that?" He Da looked disappointed, "If our whole country gathers together, can we defeat them?"

"Of course not." Hu Richa shook his head, showing a hint of helplessness. This little prince is the youngest son of His Majesty, and he is only 17 years old now.In this battle, His Majesty insisted on putting this prince who is not obsessed with the world on him, hoping to use this to hone his skills. "Our country has only [-] soldiers and horses. If we fight against them, we will definitely lose. The only thing our country can rely on is this desert with a radius of thousands of miles. This is also why our country has been trapped in the desert for so many years and has been unable to expand externally." The reason. Out of the desert, our army is not the strongest among the countries in the Western Regions, not to mention that there is an extremely powerful Golden Wolf Khanate. Now, there is another one that is stronger than the Golden Wolf Khanate army."

"Since they are so powerful, why do we still have to kill their envoys, causing the two sides to fight each other?" He Da asked puzzled.

"This?" Hu Richa couldn't help hesitating when he heard the words. He couldn't say that it was His Majesty who was so confident that he wanted to use this opportunity to let the so-called Western Expeditionary Army suffer and know the power of the Shasha Kingdom. thereby forcing the other party to compromise. "Your Majesty has a clear decision on this matter, how can we know it."

During the intermittent chat between the two, time flowed slowly.Until the sky became slightly pale, Hu Richa patted the drowsy Heda, and looked at him with a stern expression, "The time is up, Your Highness will wait here, if there is any change, immediately take people back to the capital."

"General Hu Richa, I'll go with you too..." He Da quickly stood up and begged.

"No!" Hu Richa vetoed it categorically, and looked at the people next to him, "You wait to protect His Highness, and if there is any change, evacuate immediately."

"Subordinates obey!"

"The whole army is attacking!" Hu Richa looked at the spirited soldiers below, drew out his scimitar, and shouted sharply.

The horseshoes stepped on the sand and rocks, making only a faint sound. When the Chasha cavalry approached the camp, the soldiers on duty discovered the enemy attack.

"Enemy attack!"

With a loud shout, the whole camp suddenly surged up, the crowd was full of people, and the shouts shook the sky.

Hu Richa was overjoyed, and immediately shouted: "The enemy camp is in chaos, kill it!"

Ten thousand cavalry soon arrived outside the camp. Under the impact of the cavalry, several gaps were immediately opened in the fragile camp, and endless torrents of cavalry rushed in.

After rushing into the camp all the way very smoothly, Hu Richa, who was originally excited, changed his face and secretly screamed.When they rushed into the camp, they found that there was no soldier around, and they let the cavalry gallop around empty. "The enemy has an ambush, withdraw!"

However, when it was too late, there was a sound of a drum, and countless archers emerged from the dozens of sandy ditches ahead.Seeing the rain of arrows falling into the cavalry like a tide, the unsuspecting Chasha cavalry suffered numerous casualties in an instant.

As the saying goes, getting in is easy, getting out is hard.Originally, there were only a few gaps, and the chaotic cavalry crowded in, which seriously delayed the speed of the army's withdrawal.

Hu Richa's face was pale, until if the army was crowded together, he could only let the opponent Tu Miao.He gritted his teeth, looked at the place where the archers were, and immediately gathered two thousand cavalrymen, rushed towards the bunker, trying to disturb the archers and slow down the casualties for the cavalry.

Unexpectedly, before the two thousand cavalry rushed to the archer, they felt the horse's hoof sank, and the whole person was overturned to the ground immediately, and fell into a dizzy state.

"There is a trap!" The two thousand cavalry broke down hundreds of people, their momentum slowed down, and they marched cautiously on the ground.

Finally, the remaining cavalry rushed to the bunker and were about to lean over and kill.But seeing sharp spears approaching in front of him, before he had time to react, he was hit by people and horses.

Seeing that the two thousand cavalry were almost wiped out in front of the bunker, Hu Richa was heartbroken.At this time, the remaining more than 6000 cavalry had rushed out of the camp and were preparing to evacuate.Then he heard the thunderous sound of horseshoes on both sides, and when he took a closer look, he saw a long black shadow on both sides of the camp rushing towards us.

"Quick retreat, quick retreat!" Hu Richa slapped his horsewhip and roared sadly.

The two armies inevitably collided, with 3000 cavalry fighting against the remaining [-] Shasha cavalry, the result was self-evident.It was not until the sky was bright that the remaining [-] sand cavalrymen broke free from the pursuit of the Hengshan cavalry and fled into the desert.

 It's really not easy to sign a contract.I will write more and more updates in the future to thank the book friends for their support all the time.
