Chapter 799: The Corridor of Death
Zhang Laoshi used a lot of poison to escape from the barracks. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, She Feng, who was in the same group as him, avenged him, and he answered outside the barracks, manipulating the mirage, creating one illusion after another, and under the order of indiscriminate attacks, the 10,000-strong team, many of whom died from cannibalism.
Zhang Laoshi was sent back to the camp by Gongsun Weiming in a flying boat overnight, but the lone wolf said very easily: I'm fine, I have been seriously injured before, and that's it.
I have to admit that the first catch is the first catch, and I have experienced many more ups and downs than ordinary people.
After this sneak attack, the two 10,000 people had to stop and recuperate - the food and grass were gone, and they were fart!
Strictly speaking, the food and grass of the 10,000-person team is gone, and the subordinate thousand-man teams, as well as some of the grain and grass, and even each soldier, have one to two days' rations.
But the most important thing is: people have food, horses don't.
When the Rouran people were fighting, they always carried some meat floss water bladders on the saddle, especially those meat floss, killing a cow, and they could only make less than a hundred catties of meat floss.
One urine can bring thirty or forty catties of meat floss, and in extreme cases, this meat floss can help soldiers spend three months.
Of course, in the regular army, there are not many people who take the initiative to bring meat floss, but even fewer bring horse feed.
Horses are very edible - horses don't eat night grass and don't get fat, and they have to lose weight if they don't have night grass.
In this kind of cold and snowy land, there is no grass to eat in the field, so you can only eat horse feed carried by the army.
However, horses do not eat meat floss, and for the Rouran people, there are no horses...... Can you fight?
Moreover, in this night attack, the army also suffered losses, and at this time, the 20,000-strong team was really unable to move forward.
They hope that the rear will be able to replenish food and grass as soon as possible.
But where is it so easy to replenish food and grass? Especially the sneak attack of the Middle-earthers, who are not far away, they intercept and kill the scouts on the periphery, and at this time, they are not afraid of being exposed.
Of course, Li Yongsheng and the others could not have intercepted and killed all the messengers - this was unrealistic.
In fact, the Rouran people are in a hurry, and they can use fireworks or messengers to convey their predicament.
However, there are real people intercepting and killing halfway, and this signal is enough for these two 10,000 teams to taste.
The Rouran people have other options, such as using real people to carry storage bags to supply these two thousand people.
However, Li Yongsheng and they defeated Rouran's anti-hunting team in the summer, and now there is a shortage of real people in the whole Rouran - this is really not a joke, there are at least three or four hundred real people in Rouran, but there are forty or fifty losses, which cannot be deployed.
Can the real people in the palace be drawn at will? Or can the real people on the border of Ivan be drawn at will?
Not to mention that these real people may also be intercepted and killed by the Middle-earthers.
Therefore, the two 10,000-strong troops decisively stopped to rest, and the rations were not running out, and if they did not go to the army, they could save some money.
The 20,000 men stopped, and the remaining 20,000 men moved forty or fifty miles forward, and then stopped—and fought alone.
In fact, although the army of Rouran Country is called an army, it has a strong private soldier color, not to mention the militia reserve or something, it is a regular army, which is also drawn from various tribes.
For each tribe, everyone may be fighting a national war, but it is the clan's private soldiers that are consumed.
If the 20,000-strong team is not fighting, why should we rush forward?
So, in this strange situation, the people of Middle-earth were actually given seven or eight days to recuperate.
There are seven or eight days, which is enough for the Middle-earth rangers to recuperate, and their combat power may not recover to their peak for a while and a half, but people whose limbs are frozen off and whose limbs are frozen off are only in single digits.
Of the 5,000 Middle-earth rangers, almost 4,000 were able to mount and fight, and more than 5,000 horses were taken from various settlements—although most of them were inferior horses, they were always horses and could be ridden.
The people of Middle-earth are not Rouran, and they cannot fight without horses.
For the Rouran people, the trouble is not only this, there is news that on this battlefield, the shadow of Iwan has appeared.
The two Iwan Zhenren rans ransacked a migrating Rouran tribe and stole nearly three hundred horses, everyone can see it very clearly, the high nose and deep eyes are white and the snow is white, it must be Iwan.
The smell was so strange that Iwan had run to Nanrouran - were they planning to join forces with the Middle-earthers?
The appearance of Iwan made the Rouran army completely stunned, they couldn't be sure how many Iwan there were in the current South Rouran, and it would be irresponsible to rashly attack the Middle-earth people before figuring out this problem!
In this strange situation, the people of Middle-earth completed a general rest and began to pack up their tents and head south.
Seven or eight hundred wounded, who had not yet recovered, were placed on carriage sleds, and of course, some things they could not see were placed in the flying boats.
Traveling in such snow is very challenging, even if you ride a horse, one foot deep and one foot shallow, you can only walk seventy or eighty miles a day, and it will take at least three days to reach the border.
This is also thanks to the fact that most of the time, they still have a tailwind.
As soon as the people of Middle-earth moved, the Rouran people knew about it, and when they found that the opponent was going to run, of course they couldn't bear it--I, Da Rouran, did you come and leave as soon as you said?
At this time, they did not care about the lack of food and grass, nor did they care about the fact that there were 10,000 people on the side, so they quickly sent an army to block it.
Considering that it was not easy to move the army, they first sent two teams of 1,000 people to the front of the Middle-earth, and used harassment to block the attack, so as to buy precious time for the movement of the army behind.
The two thousand-man teams are the elite of the two thousand-person teams, and they belong to the absolute main force, and they do not lose their courage because their own strength is weak, and they almost have the belief that they will die, to hinder the smooth progress of the other party.
However, it is very regrettable that this tactic, which the Rouran army is very good at, did not effectively stop the return of the Middle-earthers.
The Middle-earth rangers are not an army, but it is precisely because of this that they don't care about this kind of harassment tactics, everyone doesn't have much military discipline to speak of, and it doesn't matter if they are scattered in formation, because there are many masters, they can organize a few people at will, and they dare to chase after them - even equestrianism is not inferior to each other.
What is especially important is that there are too many real people in this team, and it is easy for Rouran people to harass them, but if you want to run, it is not so easy - no matter how fast you run, can you still fly?
The elite of the Rouran army was not ordinarily resolute, and from the night attack on the camp, they started a tragic resistance battle for a day and a night.
In fact, the word "miserable" is used to unilaterally describe the Rouran people, and the loss of the Middle-earth people is not great.
But this tragic word is also quite appropriate, for one day and one night, two teams of 1,000 people, knowing that they were going to die, also divided into one squad after another, and launched a decisive harassment against the Middle-earthers.
When another dusk came, more than 70 miles of snow behind the Middle-earthers were left with the corpses of more than 1,800 Rouran, most of them headless.
The two thousand-man teams were beaten so that they couldn't even organize two ten-person teams, and some of them were missing, probably because they couldn't get back.
And then these only a dozen people remained, and they ...... A decisive charge was launched against the Middle-earthers.
Courage is commendable, but it is also ridiculous, just these dozen people are not enough for each real person.
However, their decisive charge also made Li Yongsheng vigilant - it seemed that the front was mobilizing heavy troops to intercept it.
The Wind Watcher is a person who cares about image very much, he was hesitating whether he should go south overnight, he was used to it, and felt that it would be more embarrassing to do so.
But when he saw this scene, he didn't care about the image, so he quickly informed him that he would not camp tonight, and he would rush overnight, with food or something, everyone would eat some dry food casually, and then rush eighty miles and go back to Middle-earth!
In fact, almost all of them sensed that something was wrong, but who were the people present? They were all rangers—not heroes who were afraid of death!
Only Li Yongsheng and his party made this suggestion, they wouldn't say anything, if they changed a few rangers' proposals, they would inevitably be laughed at by everyone - rushing overnight, did they want the Rouran people to see our embarrassment?
So everyone cheered up - rush another 80 miles, and go back to their hometown!
The hometown is not far ahead, and everyone is so excited, even the rangers on the sleigh have come out, and they want to walk home!
Li Yongsheng had to organize people and remind them to maintain formation and properly distribute their physical strength.
After a while, there were another blocking troops in front, and they were met three or four times in a row, and the excited rangers also paid some price - more than a dozen people died on the way home less than a hundred miles from Middle-earth.
After midnight, there was no more blocking army in front, and after walking for a while, Li Yongsheng realized that something was wrong, and decisively asked everyone to speed up their pace and take turns to rest on the carriage.
When the sky was bright, about twenty miles away from the border line, an army of Rouran people was found, a team of 1,000 people, a full team of 8,000 people, and they had already lined up in formation.
The reason why the co-authors of Rouran gave up the interception in the second half of the night was that they had already rushed ahead of them and completed the blockade of the border.
And the east and west sides of the 8,000 men, as well as the horses of the Rouran, are resting there.
Seeing the eight neatly arranged thousand-person teams, even Fang Zhenren was embarrassed, "The eight-thousand-person team is a bit tricky." ”
As a member of the Heavenly Machine Palace, he still knows a lot about the strength of the army.
Although there are more than 20 real people and real puppets on the side of Middle-earth, there is a lack of well-trained elite soldiers, and more than 4,000 rangers who can barely fight will definitely not be able to win this dignified battle formation.
If you forcibly break through, the other side may not be able to stop it, after all, it is only twenty miles away from the border between China and Turkey.
But in this battle, how many Middle-earth athletes will be able to return to China safely, and how many hot-blooded men will be buried in their hometowns?
