Chapter 645: No Retreat
Not long after retreating into the valley, Qu Chen once again led hundreds of cavalry out of the valley. ใLatest chapter reading. ใ
However, this was a feint, the attacking troops were far behind, and only Qu Chen himself really rushed to the front, and he retreated after releasing the legion skills.
The second wave followed out all the troops who had stayed in the valley before, and the strength of the legion gradually recovered over time. In fact, due to the strength and geographical advantages of the Qianghu cavalry at the same time, the legion technique has become the safest and most effective means of killing the enemy of the captive cavalry, and Qu Chen will certainly not waste it.
The east floated with a white belly, and the day dawned.
The situation outside the valley became clear.
More than 2,000 Qianghu cavalry were on standby, blocking the exit of the valley, counting the manpower lost in the repeated battles, the attacking Qianghu cavalry was at least more than 3,000, no wonder they dared to come to trouble the dragon cavalry. The Qianghu did not seem to be in a hurry to attack the valley, and began to send people to cut down trees near the valley exit, cut down trees that were in the way, dragged the cut branches to certain areas, blocked some roads, and began to transform the battlefield environment.
Qu Chen's expression froze.
He was now certain that these Qianghu people had come prepared, ready to fight a protracted battle.
When the Qianghu cavalry completely reshapes the battlefield and then wants to rush out, I don't know how much it will cost.
Li Fu took everyone to the valley to take refuge for a while, and sent people back to the territory to report the news, before dawn the Qiang Hu cavalry attacked, and the valley notified the two hundred-man teams outside to continue to lurk, and sent the cavalry back to the city to report the latest situation, and the territory will definitely send reinforcements after receiving the news.
But even if the reinforcements sent by the territory arrived, the Rock Battalion was an infantry, and the level 50 infantry fought against the level 60 alien cavalry in the field, and the result could be imagined. Unless the Rock Battalion can join forces with the Breaker Cavalry, let alone save people, it will be difficult to protect itself.
The Qianghu people transformed the battlefield, probably thinking of this, blocking the dragon lead cavalry in the valley and making it difficult to move, which not only increased the difficulty of the dragon lead cavalry to break through, but also made it difficult for the dragon lead foot soldiers to meet the cavalry.
Qu Chen was deeply worried.
If you want to avoid such a passive situation, you must avoid the passage outside the valley being completely blocked by the Qianghu people.
He knew what that meant: the Breaker had to fight out of the valley.
Day is no better than night, the Qianghu people have regained absolute archery superiority, and the troops are more comfortable interpreting the battlefield situation, and it is difficult for the captives to replicate the results of the pre-dawn assault. The only advantage of the Broken Cavalry is that it has a strong general, Qu Chen's legion skills and personal combat power are the only place where the Broken Cavalry is stronger than the opponent, but on the battlefield, no matter how brave the main general is, the impact on the overall situation of the battlefield will eventually have a limit. Qu Chen was naturally fearless, but he knew how many cavalrymen would not be able to come back alive.
On the other hand, when will the territorial reinforcements arrive?
Li Fu sent someone to report to the territory yesterday, at that time, he only found the Qianghu rangers, and the large army did not really fight with the Qianghu people, and the war between the Quchen Department and the Qianghu people after the break was only known later, and the dragon leader may not think that the situation is urgent. Moreover, it was already dark when the messenger returned to Longling, and it was difficult to travel at night, and it was even more difficult to travel at night after rain, and the risk of being attacked on the night march was very high, so it was more secure to send reinforcements early the next morning.
As for the second group of messengers, they should still be on their way back to the dragon territory.
In other words, it is likely that the territorial reinforcements have just left.
Even if the road is in good condition, it will take a long time for the foot soldiers to walk more than 30 miles, and the muddy road will inevitably increase the difficulty of the march. If the casualties of the cavalry are too serious, even if reinforcements arrive, I am afraid that there will be no more strength to break through.
Li Fu suggested: Leave behind all the booty, prisoners and population, and break through the siege alone.
Although the Qianghu cavalry has an advantage, it is very difficult for more than 2,000 people to trap more than 1,500 captives. It is a pity to give up the spoils of war, but it seems more important to keep Qingshan, and to keep the troops before continuing to fight against the Qianghu people.
Qu Chen flatly refused.
"You don't want the spoils, it doesn't matter if those Qianghu captives are released, what about the Han people we rescued?"
"I will be captured by the Qianghu people and continue to do hard labor, and I will not die."
Li Fu had thought about this problem for a long time, the departure of the captives would not increase the risk of the refugees' deaths, but the captives continued to hold on here, and it was likely that they would all be put into it, Li Fu thought that the troops should be saved first, as long as the captives were there, there would be a chance to rescue them in the future.
Qu Chen shook his head: "They promised to join the Dragon Leader, they are deer chasers." โ
Li Fu could no longer speak.
If all the cavalry units were to be given here, the blow to the Zhulu Territory would be very heavy, and it might even cause many more serious problems, such as the security of the Hetao territory. But the Deer Chase Army won't give up on its villagers, even if it doesn't seem to be worth it.
It has nothing to do with whether you know the current affairs or not, but about the belief of the soldiers.
There is another reason that Qu Chen did not say, that is, the attitude of the dragon leader towards the siege of the Qianghu cavalry.
The Qianghu tribe is afraid of the frog dragon, and it is easy not to provoke the dragon leader, and the small tribe is beaten by the dragon leader cavalry one after another, and the Qianghu tribes have always pretended not to see it, anyway, it is not their own people who died, so why bother to be the enemy of the dragon leader?
The Qianghu cavalry pursued the dragon cavalry for the first time, and Qu Chen thought that it might be a temptation.
The miracle of the frog dragon has only appeared once, and only more than 200 people have witnessed it.
It is human nature to be frustrated in attacking Han township strongholds and making up horrific stories to cover up their failures and incompetence, so different people will have different opinions on how credible the legend of the dragon leader is. If the dragon collar rules and regulations are muffled and develop, it is okay, and the Qianghu departments maintain a certain sense of awe, and everyone does not violate the river water. The problem is precisely that the dragon leader has frequent movements, constantly stimulating the patience of the Qianghu tribes, and the credibility of the legend of the dragon leader does not seem to be enough, which makes the Qianghu people more and more unable to hold back.
I couldn't hold it back, and I didn't dare to come to the door to ask the teacher.
The Broken Cavalry that left the territory was the best target for the Qianghu people.
If this is a temptation, the response of the Broken Captives may directly determine the position that Qiang Hu takes against the dragon leader.
Legend has it that the dragon leader blessed by the dragon was surrounded by the Qianghu people only more than thirty miles away from the stronghold, and the number of Qianghu cavalry was not very large, and he gave up the spoils of war and fled, what does this mean?
It shows that the dragon collar is not as powerful as the legend says.
The sense of mystery and deterrence created by the dragon's power will be seriously weakened.
Once the dragon leader's deterrent power no longer exists, it will be difficult to continue to develop steadily in the Hetao area, not to mention anything else, the old tents of the Qianghu tribes that the Breaker Cavalry attacked were there. The Eastern Han Dynasty court couldn't stay in the Hetao area, and the Han people followed the rules in the Hetao, lest they make mistakes and be repaired, no one dared to cause trouble, and a small player's territory made waves in the Hetao, which was worth it?
The Breaker Rider has to show a tough side.
The situation is such that there is no room to retreat!
Qu Chen was no longer entangled in when the reinforcements would arrive, and the captives attacked again.
