At eleven o'clock in the morning, the scorching sun was in the sky, scorching the earth mercilessly, and the heat was unbearable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even the sea breeze blowing from the western coast has a sultry smell that doesn't feel cool at all. For the soldiers in armor, marching in such weather is undoubtedly an ordeal.

Sweat soaked through the underwear in the armor, and water seeped out of the boots.

Of the 130,000 territorial army, the only one who remained calm was the black Muslim army.

Yesterday, none of the three territories were attacked by the Great Xia Dynasty, and the generals of the territories believed that the Great Xia Dynasty was going to complete its efforts in one battle and devote all its forces to attacking the royal city of Balat.

It is precisely because of this, in order to be in a hurry, the army marched quickly all the way, and the peripheral reconnaissance was limited to within five miles of the marching troops, and no matter how far it went, it was not taken care of.

In the eyes of the commander-in-chief, there is no other enemy in Morocco at present, so why should there be vigilance.

As the saying goes: saving people is like fighting fire. Seeing that the royal city of Rabat was besieged, the big guys were in a hurry, and the player troops who were originally at the back of the army had already run to the front of the team at this moment.

That's it, and the player is still urging the army to speed up.

This carelessness will produce bitter fruits.

After walking for about an hour, the commander looked up at the sky, only to see the scorching sun hanging in the sky, the temperature was a few degrees higher, and the heat wave was eroding the physical fitness of the soldiers one after another.

The hot air became unstable, rippling in circles.

The soldiers were listless, their lips were chapped, and their whole bodies were leaning on their spears to support them. A warrior with a weaker constitution looks like he can fall at any moment.

Even the player troops have lost the enthusiasm they had at the beginning.

"Come on, find a place to rest!"

Although the commander of the army is not a famous general, he has a lot of experience, and he knows that if he continues to walk, the physical consumption of the soldiers is too great, and even if he rushes to the royal city, he is still a group of soft-footed shrimp, which is not enough.

"Yes!"

Soon, the forward troops came to report that there was a large river ahead, which was just right for a break.

The commander didn't think much about it, and immediately ordered the army to rush to the river to rest and recuperate, and replenish water along the way. If the general had read The Art of War, he would not have made such a stupid decision.

Standing behind the water is really a taboo on the march.

After receiving the military order, the 130,000-strong army was amnesty, and let out bursts of cheers, and the spirit came in an instant. The soldiers trotted all the way to the river, scooped up the clear water, and drank it in large gulps.

"Comfortable !!"

Some of the soldiers felt that it was not good enough, so they immediately disarmed and took a bath in the river. The clear water of the river pours overhead, taking away the steaming heat from the surface of the body, bringing endless coolness.

The splashed water droplets look dazzling in the sunlight.

"Cool !!"

Seeing that someone took the lead, the scene was uncontrollable.

But seeing that the winding and long river beach was densely packed with soldiers, it was a collective summer river bath, and the scene was spectacular. Some of them are watery, and they have even swam to the middle of the river.

For the soldiers, there is nothing happier than this. The tiredness accumulated from the march was instantly evacuated from the body, and what remained was endless comfort and coolness.

There is no more satisfying military order than this.

The commander of the army didn't care about it originally, but when he saw that the scene was a little out of control, he became alert and said in a solemn voice: "Come on, pass the order, and the officers and men of all departments will return to the shore immediately after drinking water, rest in a fixed position, and do not play in the water." Violators will be dealt with by military law! ”

"Yes!" The herald turned away.

It's a pity that the commander of the army woke up a little late.

That's when something happened.

I only heard the ground not far from the river bank, and suddenly there was the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, the sound was rapid and powerful, like thunder, and even the ground was trembling.

The trembling ground brought up puffs of dust, churning up and down in the scorching air, obscuring vision.

"Not good!"

The commander of the army was the first to react, and his face changed greatly. Morocco cavalry is scarce, and it is certainly not a good thing to hear such a loud sound of horses' hooves at this time.

"Assemble, assemble!"

The commander of the army issued a military order at this time, but to no avail.

At this time, the army had already scattered in all directions, scattered along the river, and was not in formation at all. Many soldiers simply threw their weapons and armor on the shore because of playing in the water, where could they still come.

Even the warriors who had returned to the shore from the river took off their armor one by one, sat on the ground, and bit the dry food they had brought with them in the clear water of the river.

As soon as the assembled military order was given, the soldiers scrambled to the shore, and the scene became more and more chaotic.

In just a few moments, the figures of the cavalry could already be seen on the horizon in the distance, and the golden light armor shone with dazzling golden light under the scorching sun.

As far as the Praetorian Guard officers and soldiers are concerned, they are at least tenth-order elite soldiers in a hundred battles, and their individual combat power is extraordinary, comparable to junior generals. Therefore, although the Mingguang armor is heavy armor, the non-commissioned officers of the Praetorian Guard can also wear it as regular armor, and the mounts under the crotch are all excellent green worm horses, which are really as fast as light cavalry.

This charge was like lightning.

"It's the army of the Great Xia Dynasty!"

Only then did the commander of the army discover the figure of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and in the blink of an eye, he could already see the horse lance raised by the cavalry. In the blink of an eye, even the white gas spewed out by the war horse could be seen clearly.

"It's over!"

The commander of the army was dumbfounded, and his face was like ashes.

In such a short time, the army can't even assemble, and what is there to talk about. At present, the only one that still maintains its establishment is only 5,000 personal guard troops, but it is like a mantis arm as a car.

With the information provided by the Black Snake Guard, it was really not difficult for Huo Qubing to grasp the marching route of the Moroccan territorial army. Coupled with the pre-war field survey, Huo Qubing was even more confident.

According to the speed of the enemy's march, Huo Qubing set up an ambush in the nearby area early.

Sure enough, just after noon, the enemy army had already arrived. After discovering the whereabouts of the enemy, the Haw Par rode all the way. Huo Quzhi is like a patient hunter, always looking for the right opportunity to attack.

Huo Quzhi knew that this battle was not only to win, but also to win beautifully.

This time you want to win big, you have to be neat.

Huo Qubing is still looking forward to going to Rabat to participate in the final battle.

That's why it's all the more patient.

Don't look at Huo Quai's youth, he doesn't play cards according to common sense when he uses soldiers, he is imaginative, and when he really needs patience, Huo Qubing can calm down better than anyone else.

Otherwise, Huo Qubing would not have been able to gallop in the desert in history.

Most of the generals, regardless of the style of using troops, some basic qualities are common. Not only Huo Quai, but also Bai Qi, Han Xin and Sun Bin, everyone can calm down.

If not, he can't be called a general.

At noon, Huo Qubing finally found a fighter, and even Huo Qubing didn't expect that the enemy army was so stupid and chose to rest on the bank of the river, which was really like God's help.

"Suicide, no wonder Ben Shuai."

Huo Quai's expression was relaxed, he had already foreseen: "A big victory is just around the corner!" ”

Once the fighter plane was found, Huo Qubing did not hesitate and immediately ordered a fierce attack. The 70,000 most elite cavalry troops, under the command of Huo Quai, divided into combined attacks and cut off the 130,000 army in one fell swoop.

When the army came to the front and fought into the battle, it was a massacre.

Along the banks of the river, the cavalry units galloped freely, not giving the Moroccan territorial army a chance to assemble at all, and where there were signs of gathering, they were given priority care.

In this way, the enemy forces tried to gather again and again, and were scattered again and again. In the back, the commander army could not even find the personal guard troops, and completely lost control of the troops.

The destruction of the army is just around the corner.

Some of the soldiers, pretending to be clever, simply jumped into the river again and tried to dive and escape. As everyone knows, the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard are all equipped with crossbows, and those who dare to jump into the river are naturally taken care of.

When there were corpses full of arrows floating on the surface of the river, no one dared to jump into the river.

If you want to survive, you can only surrender, and two legs can't outrun four legs.

In just two hours, except for the player's troops, who were willing to die and were all killed, the 130,000 Moroccan territory troops basically surrendered except for those who died in battle.

Nearly 100,000 soldiers crowded along the riverbank, which was spectacular.

For the few who took advantage of the chaos to escape, Huo Qubing had no intention of pursuing.

As the saying goes: If you go to the monk, you can't go to the temple. After the Bactria dynasty completely occupied Morocco in the future, it had time to pick up these deserters.

At present, the most important thing is to keep the surrendered prisoners of war in custody and properly handle the aftermath.

The king had already ordered that after defeating the Moroccan army, the tiger and leopard cavalry did not immediately turn back to the city of Rabat, but killed the horse pistol and occupied the cities of Casablanca and Agadir in the south.

As for the city of Tangier to the north, it has its own Mediterranean fleet to clean up.

Taking the territory not only gives the expeditionary force a supply base, but also further breaks the will to resist in Rabat.

How long Rabat will last without reinforcements is unknown.

Because the battle went well, Huo Qubing seemed very happy, and he didn't hide it at all. Unlike Bai Qi, no matter what kind of victory he achieves, he will always have a calm face.

"My lord, the first merit of this national war is our tiger and leopard."

At this moment, Ma Chao, the commander of the Haw Par Cavalry, rushed over, with the same smile on his face. Since he followed Huo Quai, the tiger and leopard riders have won consecutive battles, which makes Ma Chao very happy.

"It's fun to fight like this." Ma Chao sighed in his heart.

Huo Qubing listened, but he shook his head and said: "We can't count on the first credit, it is the Mediterranean Fleet, and no one can grab it." But it is indeed a great achievement, rest assured, this commander will ask the king for credit. ”

Ma Chao just smiled and said: "The last general doesn't dare to be greedy, but the sons and daughters under his command have made great contributions, and they really want to be rewarded." ”

Don't look at this beautiful victory, the tiger and leopard ride is really not easy.
