Fulward's camel riding speed is not very fast, but if the cavalry wants to catch up, it is simply a joke. Therefore, Guo Bang's elite cavalry can only watch Fulward run away, and can only let the runner escape. The faster Qiang cavalry gave chase.
As for themselves, they chased in the direction of the traces as fast as possible. Although the result of such pursuit all the time meant chasing Fuwode away, this time Wang Fang did not have any worries. Fuwo It will be difficult for De to run away this time.
About half an hour later, Fulward successfully got rid of Guo Si's pursuing army, but at this time he did not dare to stop, but continued to rush towards the east. Based on the current situation, it seemed that all his strongholds in the desert were It should all be doomed.
As Guo Si said, a camel running like this may not be fatal. How long can you people sustain it in this situation? If you can't find clean water, you will die tomorrow at most.
"General, how do we go?" Sidney said very seriously.
"To the east, there is another stronghold near the oasis in the east. That stronghold and the other two strongholds were established by my private soldiers and cannot be exposed. At this time, we can only go there first, and then retreat to Buck in a detour Over there, Terra." Fulward said as calmly as possible.
Sidney felt a lot more relieved after hearing this. Without food and grass, he could survive for a few days with the majesty of Fulward, but without clean water, one day was the limit.
However, since there are still supply points, it means that there is still hope, and the soldiers under his command will not collapse because of this. A fight to the death cannot solve the problem. Fighting head-on is already an act of near suicide, and Sidney Don't want to die.
"Withdraw, sixty miles to the east. Our army still has three supply points." Sidney ordered loudly. What we need now is to stabilize these soldiers. Once the morale of the soldiers is dispersed, there will be big problems if there is a slight accident. .
The previous battle against Li Jue was just a repayment. At that time, all of them knew in their hearts that they were just stalling for time and could not defeat him, so they may not have tried their best.
But when I faced Guo Si before, I even used the power of breastfeeding in a real sense. After all, Guo Si's words and his telepathy have informed everyone - you have no other choice, either defeat me, Or die in despair in this desert, with no supplies.
Naturally, at that time, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, led by Fulward, launched a counterattack, and the Camel Cavalry under their command could be said to have fought a last-ditch battle, surpassing their previous limits, and their combat effectiveness and will had reached their peak. However, the worst part was here.
This is enough will and combat power to achieve three talents, but it is still completely unbeatable. Just like Guo Bang said, if you can defeat us, then you will have to train hard, fight for the rest of your life, and conquer the four empires. Challenge Strong opponents from all walks of life, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who has achieved the myth of invincibility, what else can they brag about? Just beat him to death!
After the collapse of the First World War, this is the current state of the Camel Riders. There is no morale, no food and grass, and they are doubting their life after being beaten in the peak battle. To be honest, Sidney doubted that if Fulward had not been leading the Camel Riders, he would have been in the legion. He has an unshakable position among them. Maybe in this situation, the soldiers under his command should start looking at Fulward's head.
After all, this battle has been a huge defeat so far. Everything that Fulward spent two years saving up was lost in the first battle. It feels like the other side is deliberately waiting for Fulward to accumulate, and then One blow and smashed everything in Fulward.
"Withdraw eastward and make a detour to Bactra City." Fulward glanced at his soldiers and already had some understanding of the situation. Guo Bang's heart-wrenching words had already had an effect, and he was really at the end of his rope. In such a situation, it is inevitable that the camel riders under his command will be regicides.
"Yes!" When they heard that there was still a stronghold ahead, Fulward's camel cavalry obviously regained some morale. After all, they had always relied on this method to fight against the cavalry, but this time there was an accident. .
Although this accident made them suddenly realize that flirting with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was equivalent to dancing on the tip of a knife. The opponent's incredible combat power could easily cause the Camel Rider to miss and enter the underworld. After this kind of thinking appeared, the Camel Rider's The soldiers inevitably felt a little gloomy.
On the other side, Li Jue on horseback and his men had successfully rendezvoused with Guo Si. As Fulward had thought, Li Jue divided his forces into two groups, going all the way to block Bactra, and crossing all the way to where he might be heading. The stronghold's speculation was completely different. Li Jue didn't have the brains at all.
"Poor child." Li Jue poked Guo Si's arm.
"Go away!" Guo Bang said angrily on the spot, "One of my arms has been replaced with internal energy, and I am also a legion commander. What about you?"
"Didn't you kill Fulward?" Li Jue looked at Guo Si and whistled. It's not a big problem if his arm is broken. Hua Tuo's son is with the army anyway, so just pick it up.
"It's easy for you to say, that guy can run faster than a rabbit." Guo Bang said unhappily, "Didn't you kill him too? But he ran eastward."
"Come on, catch up and take a look. There are so many of us to the east. Anyone can block it. If he blocks it, there will be no one left. If there is no one left, he will die." Li Jue said proudly, "It's my fault. You have a good mind, don’t you admire me a lot?”
"Don't use King Wen's gossip!" Guo Bang said angrily, "Isn't it just that I picked up a good thing? It's just feudal superstition!"
"Feudal superstition?" Li Jue's face turned dark, "I'll let you see what it means for a saint to help me later."
"Sage, help you, why are you running so slowly? I'm afraid this saint is lame!" Guo Bang mocked, not taking Li Jue seriously at all.
"Wait!" Li Jue said angrily. After that battle, Li Jue couldn't get into the previous state. King Wen's gossip was taken back, but Li Jue thought it would be better not to use it blindly. , such a precious thing should be treasured well.
On the other side, Fulward headed east, then suddenly stopped. He smelled a very strong smell of blood. His face darkened and he asked the detective to investigate along the direction of the smell.
"General, the remains of our army were found in the north, and there are about 3,000 people." The scout said with some fear. These people were the infantry who retreated earlier. Li Jue led 77,000 people into the desert, and those who stormed the camp Only 40,000 people.
Of the remaining 37,000 people, Guo Si and Fan Chou each had 10,000, and the remaining 17,000 were patrolling the desert strongholds in groups of 5,000 to 6,000.
It is true that the Xiliang cavalry is the slowest cavalry, but the Qiang cavalry is still somewhat fast, and under the leadership of the Xiliang cavalry, its combat effectiveness is very guaranteed, especially since Fuwoud habitually chose to retreat in all directions at that time, and went to their respective places. Corresponding base.
Needless to say, the result was that when three to four thousand infantrymen met the Qiang cavalry led by Xiliang cavalry, it was a massacre.
What's more important is that compared to that kind of large-scale war, under the command of Fulward, the general infantry of 5,000 people faced the Qiang cavalry led by a domineering unit like the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. The commander was afraid that he would have to fight. Only with a strong general of Lu Bu's level could he escape the disaster.
As for other methods, fight for command, laugh, how can you fight with 5,000 people? As soon as the cavalry front arrow array is opened, they will fight directly without giving you a chance to adjust. What they fight for is hard power.
So the 40,000 to 50,000 Beigui infantry who dispersed and retreated to the stronghold were basically finished after encountering the Qiang cavalry led by the Xiliang cavalry.
The biggest difference is how much damage they can cause to the Qiang cavalry, and how long they can struggle. As for running away, it is completely impossible. After all, the Qiang cavalry are also cavalry!
"Withdraw eastward." At this time, Fulward had already guessed that the infantrymen who had evacuated before were probably in danger of being destroyed. However, Fulward did not dare to delay. On the one hand, the distribution of strongholds had collapsed, and all the ministries had basically lost contact. On the other hand, if you take the initiative to rescue, you will most likely be bitten by the Xiliang cavalry, and then be completely destroyed.
However, just when Fulward ordered to retreat eastward, a bunch of small dots appeared on the sand dunes opposite. Fulward stared at the leader Fan Chou, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
"I'll go, Fulward!" Fan Chou was shocked, and then his face showed surprise.
Fan Chou and Guo Si went to the place arranged by Li Jue with the idea that they would rather believe in feudal superstition than Li Jue's brain.
At that time, Li Jue used a magical saying to the two of them: Once King Wen's Bagua was released, there would be nothing. You will know this when you go there. After I take away Fulward's camp, that guy will run towards you. You will definitely meet me then.
Fan Chou and Guo Bang both sneered at this. Guo Bang at least gave him some face and did not run around. He squatted directly in the stronghold, holding the idea that Fulward could come if he could, and if he couldn't come, he would be fine.
As for Fan Chou, he just took the base and ran around with his troops. As for Li Jue's face, of course he didn't need to take it seriously. Fan Chou had even thought of the reasons. Didn't you agree that I would definitely encounter him? ? If feudal superstition is so powerful, I can encounter it even if I run around blindly.
So after Fan Chou took charge of the camp, he ran around and killed two groups of infantry. He felt so happy that he even thought about the lines he would use to mock Li Jue, a fan of feudal superstition.
However, just when Fan Chou climbed onto the sand dunes and was about to look for other infantrymen nearby who could be killed, he saw Fulward, tens of thousands of people, and it seemed that Fulward was almost outnumbered and outnumbered after a brutal fight.
"I'll go, Zhiran has become a spirit. It's powerful enough. No, I'll learn this tomorrow. Feudal superstition is still very interesting!" Fan Chou rubbed his hands and said excitedly, then raised his hand and fired ten consecutive crossbows in the air. If we can't catch you, we can block you. There are many of our own people in this area!
