631 Departure 1
The army that ate 80,000 people now only has more than 40,000 people, and there are more than 10,000 wounded soldiers. The number of people who died directly in the battle was as high as 20,000. This number is indeed too alarming. The loss in the four days of war. Many people, this is what Ziyad Ibn did not expect. He was very clear about one thing. At least half of these wounded soldiers could not survive. Faced with such casualties, he could only recognize it.
Qi Yad Ibn ordered to retreat in the early morning. Heizi really didn't dare to chase them, so he could only let them go. But he is also making preparations, that is, quickly avoiding this army and heading to the Khorasan area, he must be fast.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, the horse inspector sent out, and Heizi personally led the troops to the Wuhu River by the East Gate, and hurried from the river to the Khorasan area. He brought only 12,000 people, after all, Hanhai The city still needs people to guard it. Although there are only 10,000 people in Bhanhai City, even if the food army returns, it can't be shaken.
What Qiyad Ibn had to do was to transport the wounded soldiers off the Caspian Sea first, and then rush the rest to Khorasan. Although this would be delayed for three or four days, he had to do so.
Khorasan, Li You has asked some people to take the captives to the city of Ahnqitia, and he only took 15,000 people to the desert, which Akberinamu brought The man also chased to the edge of the desert. He, Jabali and Cyrus blocked the army in the desert one by one, leaving only a passage going south.
In order to prevent the fire-seeking army from approaching the river at the edge of the desert, Akberinamu sent a large number of troops to patrol the desert, in order to drive people into the depths of the desert. He knew very well that as long as the opponent stayed in the desert In a few days, the water they brought was gone. After all, this is an army of 20,000 people. The water consumption will be huge, and they don’t carry much water at all. As long as this army does not go out of the desert, he can easily do it. To kill the opponent.
For the current encirclement of the food army, Li You is not afraid, he can walk away anytime he wants to go, after all, the other party did not surround him. Coming this way, he hit two ambushes with his opponents along the way. He has knocked down thousands of opponents and injured thousands of opponents. In this way, he led the opponents into the desert and wanted to eliminate them slowly. There are no obstructions here. , It is convenient for night attacks, as long as a few days later, he can maimed one of the camps, and Li You now basically understands how powerful the people brought by Jabali and Cyrus are.
At night, it finally cooled down slowly. During the day, even if they were hiding under the simple tents they built, it was too hot, just waiting for the night to come.
Last night, Li You had already started the night harassment. Their camp was not far from the two big cannibal camps, and the farthest one was less than thirty miles away. During the day, you can ride a horse far away. see.
"Xiao Qi, you go with Ahir tonight, bring more people, take advantage of the moonlight to attack directly, Urguya, you just need to take the female soldiers to do a good defense, I guess, today they will send people to Zuoying Here comes an attack."
Urguya had nothing to say, she said in a polite way: "Your Highness, I will do a good job of defense."
Instead, Ahill asked, "His Royal Highness, we are running out of water. Do you want to get some back tonight?"
Li You smiled and said: "They will definitely deploy a large number of troops along the river, but they still have to send someone tonight. Otherwise, they don't know that we are already short of water. Once we are past, we just need to take it. If there is no water, we will go south tomorrow, maybe they will catch up, and we will be able to inflict a heavy blow on them." New 81 Chinese website update the fastest computer terminal: https://
"Young Master, are you really sure you can beat so many people?"
"Xiao Qi, what do you think? They can only use cavalry to chase us, and their cavalry together is more than 20,000, don't we dare to fight them, as long as we fight, we can go Go west and go to the river to supply supplies. Their infantry is still slow, and there is no need to think about these people."
After the discussion, everyone ate the scones. It was late at night that Xiaoqi and Ahir would take people to attack the rear camp. Don’t look at the camp with more than 40,000 people, but their combat power It was really bad. There were only more than 3,000 cavalrymen. They fought once last night. There was nothing to be afraid of. More than 2,000 people dared to go.
The method they used is very simple, that is, the muskets keep firing and killing them. Anyway, the opponent's archers can't beat them. If they are out of the camp, the two thousand people led by Ahir will dare to fight. Yesterday, the food army did not send out people, and it is estimated that they will send out troops today. No matter how many harassment like this, they will strike out the opponent's temper.
In the middle of the night, Xiaoqi and Asher left with some people, Urguya also made people defend around the camp, Li You also asked the scouts to watch out for a few miles. Will it be possible for the camp of the food army on the left? He really didn't know if he sent troops to attack here, and he was a little afraid that his opponent would give him a general attack.
However, tonight is not bad, the big cannibal did not come to attack them, everything is fine, when Asil and the others came back, there was still no movement here.
After dawn, Li You took the people away, and until the afternoon, the food army did not catch up, and Ah Xier quickly found Li You Xiangxun. Li You knows very well that the food army is not not following, but marching along the river. Just make sure that they can't get water. As for the infantry, he won't take care of them. They are too slow and want to follow. It was not easy, and he was not afraid of this army, the only thing he worried about was the cavalry.
"His Royal Highness, if we can't get water as you said, we won't have water tomorrow, what should we do then?"
"You can send someone to take the camel and continue walking south. At night, we will camp here. Their cavalry will not follow so quickly. As long as they see us camping, they will follow and camp, although they will send people downstream. Go, but the distance will not be very far. This time you will get the water by yourself, so I can rest assured that people don’t need to bring more, but you must remember that you go all the way to the south, don’t stop, and go to tomorrow. Go west to fetch water in the early morning and return to the starting point when you are done. We will come and meet you tomorrow."
Akberinamu has 20,000 cavalry, and there are more than 10,000 foot soldiers following him. It can be regarded as a strong soldier. As long as he follows for two more days, he can launch an attack. This is his plan. He is not in a hurry, just waiting for a good time.
Li You was really right. After they got out of the camp and the news came back, Akberinamu also stopped, still leaning against the river, but he did not stop all the cavalry, but let A part of the cavalry continued to go south for another hundred miles, patrolling within this range, to prevent the fire hunting army from going to the river to fetch water.
