624 Retreat 2
After Akberinamu received the news, he was also considering one thing, whether to chase after the line break in Mulu City or chase it all the way, Qiyad Ibn gave the order to defend this army and destroy it if it has a chance. , Dragged it to the Khorasan area without a chance, and did not say that Akberinamu must guard the opponent's retreat.
The Khorasan area now has 110,000 soldiers, and the weakest is Khorasan’s 20,000 troops. Half of these people are recruits. The fighting power is really worrying. The 30,000 Sistan area that Cyrus led was drawn from the army. Slightly better, but the main force that can really fight is still Jabali and the army in his hand. If you want to eliminate the army of Huoxun, I am afraid that you can really only bring this army to the past. OK, and only in this way can he concentrate his superior forces to encircle and eliminate the opponent. He doesn't trust Jabali's 30,000 elites to win Huoxun.
After thinking about it, he finally decided to fight. He really wanted to avenge his last year's revenge, in order to wash himself away. Like Qiyad Ibn, he has never failed, but he just failed. In Huoxun's body, this was the reality that he couldn't accept and had to accept.
After Li You retreated all the way to Bach'er City, he stopped. He didn't enter the city, and he didn't dare to say that it was unnecessary. The city is not big and can't hold 30,000 people. Once he defends the city, he will be surrounded immediately. He doesn't know how many chasing soldiers will be there. Anyway, he will go all the way according to the plan. As long as he is not surrounded, he can say anything.
There are mountains on both sides, the valley is wide, and the river is to the west. The camp does not need to be anchored, just release the sentry. In a terrain like this, the other party would definitely not dare to attack at night, after all, it was too easy to be ambushed.
The female soldiers’ camp. Li You lives here. This time the female soldiers are mixed with other troops. Although the camp is separate, Li You can’t guarantee that anyone will harass these female soldiers and the people he leads. Fortunately, he was really afraid that someone from the rebels would make a bad idea, which would cause unnecessary trouble. So since last night, he was stationed with the female soldiers. With him here, no one dared to trouble the female soldiers.
This time it was really helpless. He could only take away the female soldiers and leave all the real elite to Heizi. Only in this way could Heizi have the power to fight. Li You is sure that Da Shi will attack Huoxun again this time, and the number of people is definitely not a small number. He is really not worried about Hanhai City. Now there are a lot more artillery and firearms than in World War I last year, plus this The saltpetre mine brought back is enough to fight a big city defense battle.
By the fire, Urguya asked Li You: "His Royal Highness, why didn't you choose to ambush here? This is both valley and forest."
"It is precisely because this is too suitable for ambushes, so there is no need to ambush. The other party will surely move slowly and find out clearly. To ambush, you have to find a place unexpected by the other party, so that you can really achieve your goal. Then, Li You turned around the branch where the barbecue was inserted.
"His Royal Highness, shall we go all the way to Herat like this?"
"Yes, retreat to Herat. Anyway, you can't stop. Just take the food army. To be honest, we really want to fight. We can't fight. Once we are besieged, the risk of being annihilated is very high. , So we can only keep moving forward, I think, as long as we have passed a month, there will be reinforcements coming."
Just when Li You was about to eat barbecue, Xiao Qi came over. After seeing him, he said, "Young Master, the sentry is back, saying that the food army has stopped outside the mountain and has just arrived."
Li You then asked: "I remember that there is a woodland in the mountain pass. Is their camp near the woodland or away from the woods?"
"Away from the woodland, it is a camp by the river."
Li You smiled and said, "They are careful enough, don't worry about them, anyway, the time is still long, and there is a chance to slowly kill them."
"Young Master, why don't you attack them tonight?" In Xiaoqi's perception, the terrain here is particularly suitable for defense and ambush. They can safely retreat as long as they hit it. After all, the opponent is not close. As long as they rush past the woodland, they should be able to effectively attack and kill them. ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
"How many people can you kill in the last fight, sixty miles back and forth, you might as well take the opportunity to get a good night's sleep and hit them, there will be more opportunities later, well, just stay here and bake something. It’s not better to eat. By the way, when marching every day, when you see the prey, you will fight to reduce food consumption."
"I know the young master, I will explain it to you."
Early the next morning, Li You received another news that told him to run away quickly, that is, another army came behind the 60,000 army of eclipse. The specific number of people is not clear, at least 20,000 to 30,000. There is no way for Li You to be hostile. He can only leave as soon as possible, because the other road can also reach Herat City, which is closer, but there is no water source along the road, so Li You did not choose to take that road.
Once they are blocked, he can only choose to go east, but the direction is not what he wants to go. He can only rush to the city of Herat. Only when he gets there, he can go in any direction. He also knew that there were 20,000 defenders in Herat, and these 20,000 were the primary target. After taking the opportunity to defeat them, there would be no soldiers in the Khorasan area. Otherwise, Li You would not have to think about going. Here, he also deliberately dragged some artillery over this time, just to use it when attacking the city.
It takes four days to reach the city of Herat from here, and it’s not too close. The food army behind him is mostly infantry, and it can’t be fast. The only worry now is the newly arrived army. If there are a large number of cavalry, They will be able to reach Herat in two days. If this army arrives, they won't have to go to Herat.
For this reason, Li You could only ask Ahhir and Xiaoqi to take the people to Herat City quickly. Firstly, you can see if there is a chance to attack, and secondly, you can go there to check the news. If it is a big food army. If he gets there first, he can only turn to other places.
Asher knows the importance of this operation. Although he only took five thousand people, the food army defending the city was equally unusable. As long as the city gate was knocked down with artillery, the two thousand people would be dispersed. Now, there is no need to attack the city. Anyway, for the 20,000 people, whether it was Ahir or the soldiers he led, they knew that this was an army with little combat power, otherwise they would not dare to attack so boldly.
After Ahill took the people away, Li You found Kraft and asked him to take the rebels to the city of Ahnchitia, where they divided the troops. Kraft naturally knew that the seven thousand rebels in his hand were all infantry and there were few horses. The one who could really fight was the more than two thousand people Acher brought from Huoxun. They have now stripped off the rebels. It can be said that this The Zhi Yi army basically has no combat power. What Li You has to deal with now is an army of more than 100,000. If they are dragged on again, they will really be wiped out.
