Ever since he entered Jeju, Che Wuyang had never thought that the war could end like this.
The enemy has not been seen before, but the people under his command were killed without delay at all, and they tolerated being killed. After all, these traps and other things have been encountered on the battlefield before.
Although I have never encountered it before, there are traps along the length of one or two hundred miles.
After all, it can still be attributed to their own carelessness.
But more than half of the horse was dead, almost making Che Wuyang vomit blood, and it was still dying. It was better to die quickly than to be buried!
His cavalry brigade of more than 30,000 people turned into infantry in an instant!
To know.
What they had practiced before were all horseback kung fu, and they were specially mobilized for the Hezhou cavalry that appeared in Jeju this time.
But before anyone could see it, the horse was gone.
Without horses, the cavalry's combat effectiveness is sometimes inferior to that of infantry.
Moreover, coordinated operations need to be rearranged.
Che Wuyang was very busy.
On the other hand, many horses cannot still eat meat after death like before.
These horses all died of illness.
And when they died, their bodies had already started to rot. Some horses even started to rot before they died.
No one dared to eat it.
These tens of thousands of horses were buried like this.
For those soldiers, it was a pity that they shook their heads, especially when the food and grass could not keep up, they all wanted to dig it out and eat it again.
For those cavalrymen, they were almost autistic.
For them, war horses are not just a tool for combat, but also a very important strategic resource.
They were all helpless.
But facing this kind of horse plague, they had no choice but to watch their comrades die.
"General, something strange appears in front of you."
While Che Wuyang was frowning there, a soldier walked into the tent and said.
"weird stuff?"
"What's the meaning?"
"What else can be called strange along the way?"
Che Wuyang asked with a cold face.
"You'd better go to the front and take a look in person."
The soldier couldn't describe it and said to Che Wuyang.
"Walk!"
Che Wuyang sighed and walked out with the people.
This has happened countless times.
Almost every time someone asked him to go forward, various things would appear in front of him, either a trap, or the road was broken, or the river changed its course, or he was lost.
This time, when Che Wuyang came to the front, he was still shocked and speechless by the scene in front of him.
At this time, bundles of torches appeared in front of their team.
These torches were just left on the roadside.
It seems to be prepared for them.
In addition, it was getting late now, and it was already time to light the torches, so this scene seemed a bit strange when it appeared here.
Even Che Wuyang felt a chill on the back of his neck.
He looked around subconsciously.
Could it be that people from Hezhou have been monitoring them along the way?
Not only do they know the current environment they are in, but they also know that their current torches are no longer enough?
"go!"
"Bring over the torch at the front."
Che Wuyang didn't believe that these Hezhou soldiers and horses would be so kind and considerately prepare torches for them. There must be some conspiracy.
After a while, the torch was taken back by a soldier.
Che Wuyang took it in his hand and looked at it. It was no different from an ordinary torch, and it looked like it was newly made.
Even the cuts for the wooden poles of these torches are new.
This moment left Che Wuyang confused.
"Light him on fire!"
Che Wuyang thought for a while and handed it to the person just now.
"etc!"
"Go to the front, stay away from us and then click again!"
When the soldier was about to light the fire, Che Wuyang stopped him again and asked him to go to the front and stay away.
Not a moment.
The soldier stood in front holding a torch, and it burned for almost half an hour under the gaze of everyone, without any change.
"Strange?"
"Could it be that these torches were not actually prepared by people from Hezhou?"
"But those people from Jeju?"
Che Wuyang asked the people around him.
"General, it's very possible!"
"I heard that when these Hezhou troops captured Jeju, they used a lot of fire from the sky and burned many cities. This must have caused dissatisfaction among the people of Jeju. They may be waiting for us to rescue them!"
"The people of Jeju may need us more!"
"That's why they supported us in this way. The reason why they didn't show it may be because they couldn't let the people in Hezhou know, so they just put it down and left."
A general on the side also nodded.
"That makes sense!"
“The people of Jeju need us!”
"well said!"
"What we uphold is an army of justice, our mighty army. How can we be defeated just because of these trivial tricks?!"
Che Wuyang listened and nodded.
The person in front of me has lit the torch for such a long time and nothing happened, which means it is real.
"Pass my order and have people distribute these torches to everyone as soon as possible."
"Everyone still needs to watch carefully to see if there are any problems!"
"Light the torch and continue on your way!"
Che Wuyang said to everyone.
After thinking about this matter, Che Wuyang even canceled the original idea of setting up camp on the spot.
Why did the people of Jeju give them torches?
I just don’t want them to stop fighting!
Otherwise, what's the use of holding these torches?
So Che Wuyang immediately passed on this idea, and everyone's morale instantly became high.
Everyone held torches and walked all the way until midnight.
"Strange."
"According to our itinerary, we can pass through Jeju and reach Hezhou in just one day's journey."
"How come we still haven't seen anyone from Hezhou along the way?"
"After all, according to the current situation, those people from Hezhou should be ambushing around here!"
Che Wuyang looked at the progress with some surprise.
Their journey this night turned out to be extremely smooth. Not only were there no people from Hezhou, but there were no more annoying traps from before.
"go!"
"Send a team of troops immediately to investigate ahead!"
Che Wuyang ordered.
Soon, a group of people rushed out holding torches.
As a result, not far away, there was a sudden explosion.
With the sparks blooming, the team was shattered...
