Chapter 619 Under the Engineering Army
On the renovated coastal road, Xiao Quan walked at the end with a thousand elite soldiers, looking back from time to time to check the fire in the distance.
Their team has set out for two hours, and the fire has been burning for more than an hour.
Because the Engineering Army has few horses and mostly sluggish horses, it is mainly used to pull wounded soldiers. Most of the broken teams have two legs and have only walked twenty miles so far, but the main business can still be seen.
Xiao Quan looked at the light that was dimmer than the beginning and began to guess that the fire would stop at dawn.
After all, it was a camp, not a forest, and it couldn't be burned for too long. Moreover, in order to pursue them, the Wuhuan army would find ways to put out the fire.
The destination of Xiao Quan and others is Wugou, 140 miles away from the main camp.
Wugou is a hilly road located between Jieshi Mountain and Chengshan Mountain. It is only more than ten meters wide. After passing this road, you can reach Guzhu City.
As for Jieshi Mountain, according to the original history, Cao Cao should have left a famous article here after pacifying Wuhuan.
"Shi Mayi, please ride a fast horse to the front team to see how Commander Liu and the others are going. Move La Yi, take the ten horses and go back and take a look. Don't let the Wuhuan thief touch it yet we don't know."
"promise!"
"promise!"
Among the elite troops of Xiao Quan, there are many aliens in the grassland. They were all recruited by Liu Yu into the army, and they are also the few soldiers who are good at fighting in Xiao Quan, the engineering troops.
The rear was the most dangerous job to lure the enemy into combat. Xiao Quan took the initiative to lead these homeless grassland people to undertake this job, in order to allow their families to get more pensions if they die in battle.
People in the grassland are not afraid of death, but are afraid that their families have no hope of life.
Of course, there are also many Han warriors in this team of severance. After all, this is their hometown and their land.
"Brothers, hurry up and go!!"
The fire in the main camp was slowly extinguished until dawn.
Tadun walked into the main business that was burned to white ground, with a proud look on his face.
The Han people were just like this, and with such a strong camp, they still couldn't resist the two-day attack of their warriors.
"Shanyu, Wang Tong still led his troops to chase him. I think he would be able to catch up in just one or two hours."
Tadun tied his horses and pointed to the southwest, shouting, "I ordered the entire army, the baggage is behind, the soldiers are in front, and the Han army is chasing and killing the Han army. I told the warriors that most of these Han soldiers are civilians and must have brought a lot of money. During the winter this year, should I wear silk or torn leather jackets, eat noodles and sing songs, or drink the cold wind to listen to my mother crying, and it's time to see today!"
"Oh~oh~oh~"
Even the most timid people in the Wuhuan army were as brave as a wolf when they were chasing a group of defeated soldiers.
The Wuhuan cavalry walked past the camp full of carbon ash and ran south.
At this time, even Liu Ting and others from the front team had just walked for more than fifty miles, while Xiao Quan in the back team had only walked less than forty miles.
After walking all night, they slowed down.
Li Layi, who was hiding in the dark, saw Wuhuan's flag from afar, and ran away with a roar. He didn't dare to do anything like a horse.
I am not Commander Zhao...
"What? The thief army is chasing me?" Xiao Quan shouted loudly, "Map!"
The sergeant on the side quickly pulled out the map he was carrying and opened it with the sergeant on the side. Xiao Quan looked for a while and said, "There are five miles left, send the order, run forward! There is our camp in the front five miles, where we can block the enemy!! The rear team, throw the caltrops every other miles to block the enemy! When we reach the third mile, it will be thrown into the wilderness on both sides of the road."
More than 100 people in the back team immediately opened the package they were carrying, and the team threw down the four-corner nails and caltrops, and then covered them with leaves they carried with them. After they were almost done, they accelerated their pace to catch up with the front team.
When Zhao Yun and others formulated a strategy to lure the enemy into the depths, they thought that they could not catch such a long fish at the speed of infantry. They prepared to use the military camp that was used to hoard road construction materials to expand it, and let the sergeants stationed in the camp continue to collect firewood in the past few days to block the enemy.
Xiao Quanjun, who had been walking for a night, learned that the cavalry behind him were chasing him and there was a camp in front to hide. His already tired body added some strength and ran forward screaming. In less than two quarters of an hour, the tired army saw the camp where the camp was opened in front and several soldiers kept waving and shouting.
The camp was not big, but it was firmly blocked on the road. Xiao Quan directed the soldiers to go to the camp to rest and found the garrison guarding the camp and asked, "The thief army arrived in a flash. Our army must hold on here until dark. Can the arrows and wood be prepared?"
The head of Natun bowed and replied, "Everything is complete, please follow me to check."
I don’t know that the caltrops that were thrown from time to time played a role. Anyway, Xiao Quanjun ate and slept for a while. It was not until Shenshi that the Wuhuan army slowly drove to the front of the camp.
"It's still here!" Xiao Quan was preparing to retreat until late at night. Now it was still one hour before dark, but he only had a thousand soldiers and it was not easy to defend for an hour.
Xiao Quan came to the camp's watchtower and looked into the distance with a telescope. Seeing Wang Tong in front of him with a tie tie on his head, he couldn't help but smile and said, "This thief must have fallen!"
Just like Xiao Quan thought, Wang Tong led the way and stepped on the caltrops to the ground. Thanks to his superb riding skills, he could still change his posture and remove his strength in such a situation. Otherwise, Tadun would have received the bad news that his vanguard general had fallen to death on the road.
Although Wang Tong was not killed, he also died and destroyed many Wuhuan cavalry. He finally cleaned these traps and walked less than a mile, and they were these ghosts. Wang Tong was so angry that he shouted and jumped. He had been walking for almost an hour on this land, so he simply did not walk on the road and instead walked on the wild area beside the road. As a result, caltrops were found in the wild area. In the end, the soldiers could only walk with their guns while exploring the road while leading their horses. Then he arrived at the main camp before dark.
As the saying goes, when enemies meet, they are extremely jealous. They touch the wound on their heads and look at the war horse they just changed, Wang Tong ordered a strong attack without delaying it in one second.
Looking at the Wuhuan army rushing up, Xiao Quan shouted, "You guys, when will you die today?"
These soldiers who left behind the rear were mentally prepared and shouted in unison, shooting arrows at the Wuhuan army that rushed up, urging guns to assassinate them, and each one dared to die, and everyone fought bravely. The entire battle situation reached a white-hot moment in an instant.
Wang Tong was wearing heavy armor, holding a knife and shield, and rushed up the ladder. A Han army on the head of the camp was stabbed with a gun. He easily avoided it. Then he cut off the Han army's head with a knife.
"kill!!"
