The Tudalong Banner is located in the Hongyan Mountains, northwest of Shayiying, and can reach Biansha 12 to the east. Before this year, this place was not a place of contention between the two sides, but as the northern front continued to retreat, it became a key point above the battleground. Hu and Lu's team overwhelmed the checkpoint and watchtower ahead, and the resident camp could only live in the west of the Tuda Dragon Banner to confront them.
Xiao Chiye came around from Bianbo Camp, and was now just south of the permanent camp. However, the collapse blocked the horse road that was usually stationed in the camp, and on the right was the Tuda Dragon Flag. Hasson's team often wanders here. If Xiao Chiye refuses to give up the food and escape, he can only bring the baggage and face Hasson face to face. However, the grain cart was too heavy, Wu Ziyu's iron cavalry could not run on the mud, and the forbidden army did not have enough light cavalry to interfere. In this case, it would be too dangerous to turn around and go to the Tuda Dragon Banner.
Wu Ziyu wanted to refute, but Chen Yang and others had already turned their heads. That is a kind of trust that is hard to describe in words. They obey Xiao Chiye unconditionally, even if it is a matter of life and death, as long as Xiao Chiye orders, they can do it immediately. Wu Ziyu was in the middle of it, and shuddered unconsciously.
It is now the moment of Shen Shi, and the sky is gloomy due to the influence of the torrential rain. Gujin was familiar with the road here, and the escort team entered the Tuda Dragon Banner. The grain cart was drearily rolling in the muddy puddle, and it would sink into it if it was a little careless.
Xiao Chiye wants to hide the grain cart here.
No matter how brave Biansha's cavalry is, they will not easily enter the Tuda Dragon Banner, and the swamp is also very difficult for them. Moreover, the rainy weather affected not only Xiao Chiye, but also Hassan. The sudden inability to detect the military situation meant that the Saker couldn't either. The two sides could not see each other's movements through the rainstorm, and they could only play games based on their knowledge of the battlefield. But this delicate balance is only maintained in the rainstorm. Once the rain stops, Xiao Chiye's current team simply cannot withstand the impact of Hasson.
"Wu Ziyu stays behind the grain cart," Xiao Chiye said quickly, "Let the iron cavalry hang heavy chains and surround the grain cart."
The roads around the Tuda Dragon Banner are muddy, the iron riding is too heavy in rainy days, and the horses’ hooves are easy to sink in. Staying behind the grain cart is the most suitable choice. The heavy chain was equipped by Xiao Fangxu. It was hooked on the iron armor and could turn the iron cavalry into the "armor" of the grain cart on the spot. In this way, even if Hasson can break through Xiao Chiye's guerrilla attack and enter the interior of the Tuda Dragon Banner, he will not be able to immediately break the iron wall of the iron cavalry.
Xiao Chiye stood on the spot and said to the Imperial Army: "Hassen is leading the Viper, which is fast and powerful. We can't catch up or stop us. But the bushes to the east where they are located are easy for us to hide and hunt in rainy days. Falcons can't make inspections, so this is an opportunity."
The enemy and the enemy are strong and weak. Xiao Chiye can't keep Hasson's team intact, so there is no chance of winning. He let the forbidden army spread into small groups, reached out from the swamps of the Tuda Dragon Banner, set up tripping ropes, and scattered the unsuspecting sand cavalry in all directions of the Tuda Dragon Banner. As long as the Biansha cavalry fell, they lost their advantage.
"Gujin wants to bypass Hasen's team and rush to the battle area." Xiao Chiye turned around and looked at Gujin, "Zhaohui didn't come, it means that the three Liuyang camps can't move at the moment, and the battle situation in the north is likely to be worse than that in the north. We imagine it is even more severe, and now we can only ask for help from the warring ground."
Gujin was injured in the Tuda Dragon Banner, and he was very familiar with the road of the Tuda Dragon Banner. He immediately responded and led a light scout team ahead.
"Tigers go to the northeast, I'll go to the east, and Chenyang will sit here," Xiao Chiye said as he stepped forward, "In any case, we must ensure that the food and grass can be delivered to the battlefield smoothly."
Chen Yang ran around with Xiao Chiye, and knew best about the reserves of the granaries in Libei. If Xiao Chiye loses, then Chenyang will release the eagle when the rain stops, and let the Northeast Grain and Horse Road immediately readjust the grain and grass to the north, so as not to waste time. As an escort team, their life and death are far less important than the food and grass in the battle area.
This place is close to Hongyan Mountain, and the rain will not stop for a while, and the forbidden army crawling in the mud puddle must endure the chill of the Bianstone. The undershirt was clinging to the body, and it was already soaking wet. Their hands and feet were soaked in muddy water, and within half an hour, their fingers and toes were frozen.
The autumn rain in the north is like a knife. It is only early August, but the weather is already cold as if it will snow at any time.
The escort team hadn't put on jackets to keep out the cold, and Xiao Chiye had asked them to replace the water they carried with them before they set off. Spirits can disperse the cold and dampness, and play a pivotal role in this blizzard border.
Xiao Chiye slumped in the mud puddle, drinking one sip after another and walking away immediately.
Generally speaking, the battle between Libei and Biansha will not drag on beyond August and September, because it will snow if dragged further, and the grasslands on both sides will be ravaged by wind and snow. During the long and severe winter, a large number of military craftsmen from the north would reforge and repair equipment for the iron cavalry all night long at this time, while Biansha wanted to move the flock to a place closer to the south, and everyone would enter a truce at the same time. Only in the three years of Xiande, there was an accident. That time, the Serpent's tribe went south and broke through the Chashi River, which reduced a considerable pressure on food and grass for the twelve Biansha tribes.
For some reason, Xiao Chiye has a hunch in recent days that there will be no truce this winter. Amur's offensive was too ferocious. If it was said that it was to enter the country to snatch food in the spring, then now, Amur is more like suppressing Libei across the board, and has no intention of retreating. Amur transferred Hassen from Qidong to here, that is, he put his strongest troops on the Libei battlefield, which is completely different from the small fights in the past few years.
Suddenly there was the sound of horses' hooves in the rain, Xiao Chiye hung up the water bag, raised his two fingers, and signaled the forbidden army behind him to lie down. He leaned over, his face almost on the mud puddle, searching the rain through the bushes with only one pair of eyes. A line of cavalry appeared in the torrential rain, and the horses' hooves splashed muddy water as they galloped. Xiao Chiye watched them silently, and the wolf sword slipped out of its sheath as the distance shortened.
The sound of horses' hooves intensified, the whistles of the Biansha cavalry were dispersed by the rain, and Xiao Chiye's palm on the ground had already felt a slight vibration.
He didn't move, and neither did the guards behind him.
Seeing that the Biansha cavalry was in front of him, and after a few more steps, they would step on the forbidden army. The horse in the lead suddenly neighed, and the front hooves were restrained by the tripping rope. The horse's knees protruded forward and fell straight down. The mud wave suddenly splashed on Xiao Chiye's facade, and he moved. At the same time as the cavalry fell with the horse, the scabbard of the wolf's sword was already detached. Xiao Chiye slashed when he saw him. messed up.
Xiao Chiye didn't give the opponent a chance to regroup at all, and the Imperial Army followed him into the Biansha cavalry. The mud mixed with blood dripped into Xiao Chiye's neck, and immediately poured the spicy food into his stomach, making his whole body warm.
This was like a blow to the head, and the Biansha cavalry quickly recovered. Both sides are small teams, washed by the rain to fight. But this fight was fast, and when the Biansha cavalry recovered their spirits, the Imperial Army quietly disappeared into the torrential rain.
The teams of the Biansha cavalry around the Tuda Dragon Banner were all attacked to varying degrees by the forbidden army. Once they wanted to pursue the victory, these ruffian soldiers would back off. The Biansha cavalry was forced to stop outside the swamps of the Tuddar Dragon Banner. As long as they wanted to turn around and meet, the Imperial Army would come and attack. After a few times, the Biansha cavalry was already in a lot of trouble. They couldn't get up quickly, and they had no direction. They were harassed by being pushed and kicked by the forbidden army like flies without a head.
Xiao Chiye was always hiding in the rainstorm, and the Biansha cavalry couldn't tell the exact hiding location of the forbidden army. The forbidden army did not have the heavy armor and horses of the Libei Iron Cavalry.
Xiao Chiye's horses soon bottomed out. Xu Shitian was completely dark, and the Biansha cavalry was still trapped by the forbidden army on the edge of the Tuda Dragon Banner, unable to advance or retreat. The odds of winning continued to increase, and Xiao Chiye seemed to be in control of the rhythm. He won't go up, no matter whether the Biansha cavalry shows weakness or intimidates, he will not be taken away from the rhythm. But as time passed, Xiao Chiye didn't see Hasson for a long time.
The night was even more chilly, it was extremely dark, and Xiao Chiye's boots were full of mud. It was wet and slippery on a rainy day. In order to prevent the knife from falling out of his hands, Xiao Chiye wrapped the tiger's mouth with a cloth strip. At this time, the cloth strip was almost soaked.
Humans have limited physical strength. Such a tug-of-war requires both sides to maintain a high degree of vigilance at all times. But Xiao Chiye also needed to take a breath. He closed his eyes slightly and shook his head twice, so that he would not fall into numbness due to repeated actions.
At the latest tomorrow, the reinforcements from the battle area will be able to arrive, and tonight is very important. God still favors Xiao Chiye, even if the rain decreases, there will be no stars and moonlight tonight, and the night is still the disguise of the forbidden army.
Xiao Chiye exhaled hot air, moved his five fingers, and clenched the wolf's sword. However, just when he stood up again, there were messy footsteps in the bushes, and the person who brushed away the branches and leaves turned out to be Gujin.
Xiao Chiye suddenly felt bad.
Sure enough, Gu Jin's face was gloomy, he hurriedly knelt down on one knee, and said in a low voice, "Master, the road to the battle field is blocked! The elite of Hasen is on the southeast side, cutting off my way!"
Xiao Chiye's heart sank suddenly, and he understood it almost instantly.
Counted.
The master generals who are good at fighting know the truth of making people but not people. The reason for Xiao Chiye's winning streak all the way from Qudu is that he is always taking the initiative. This makes him fearless and outnumbered, and firmly controls the rhythm of the battlefield. But he forgot that Hassan was the same type of general as him.
This rain is not accidental.
It was a well-planned roundup.
Hasson had set up a net to hunt down this wolf cub since Xiao Chiye's team headed north. While Xiao Chiye was watching the Biansha cavalry, he was also being observed by Ha Sen. Xiao Chiye's self-imposed initiative was actually paralyzing himself, and he fell into a passive state as early as when he decided to turn around to the Tuda Dragon Banner.
The hooves sounded again.
