Chapter 256 Night Attack! Cavalry Chase
Gretel breathed a sigh of relief, seeing the confident expression of the eldest prince, he finally knew that he had successfully fooled the eldest prince.
But then he will encounter a problem again. Gretel, who thought he was a legendary strategist, can't help but feel worried about what will happen after he arrives in Hal City three days later!
He has already promised the prince that he can use the skills on this card when he arrives at the gate of Har City, but the waiting time for the skills on this card to cool down is a whole month!
At that time, how can he use his three-inch tongue to persuade the eldest prince?
Gretel was calm on the surface, but panicked inside.
Amidst the embarrassment, some scouts reported back: "Report the first and second princes, the cavalry behind them disappeared again!"
Gretel heaved a sigh of relief, thanked the soldier for saving him, and hurriedly hid behind the eldest prince to avoid "970" being forced to question him again.
The eldest prince and the second prince snorted coldly. Naturally, they didn't like each other, but in this situation, neither of them can do without the other.
The eldest prince gritted his teeth and said, "It's gone? Tell the whole army to move forward at full speed and head towards the city of Hal! Take the main road!"
Damn it, is this Su Chen's army sick? Now it's gone again! With his eldest prince's character, if he has an army to kill him on weekdays, he will kill him back, but the second prince won't let him stop, The eldest prince had no choice but to march forward.
The infantry regiment of more than 8,000 people was exhausted, and armored cavalry appeared from behind to chase them from time to time.
At this time, there were quite a few wounded in the team, and most of them were injured in their backs and legs after being hit by crossbow arrows.
The soldiers reported back to the prince again: "Prince, we have 300 people injured, I'm afraid we won't be able to advance at full speed!"
If you look carefully, there are less than 8,000 people left in their 8,000-man army.
The second prince said: "If we stop, they will definitely come out again."
The two looked around and saw that this was a jungle, so it was easy to hide and difficult to leave.
The eldest prince gritted his teeth and said, "Those wounded, don't want them!"
"Let's go!" If their infantry stayed in the jungle for a moment, more people would be killed.
"Ah, this..." The subordinate officers wanted to say something else. After all, losing the wounded could easily damage morale, but they had no choice. The legion immediately began to advance.
The second prince and the eldest prince rode horses and walked under the protection of a group of soldiers. In the whole group, only the two of them rode horses, and the rest were all infantry.
Stopping and waiting for the wounded soldiers is no different from waiting for death.
They set off forcefully, leaving behind the wounded soldiers, and headed for the distance.
Zhenlong hid in the jungle with a thousand Yanyun iron cavalry, quietly watching the movement of the two princes' army in the distance. They paused for a while, but after a pause, they started to move forward again.
A sly smile appeared on the corner of Zhenlong's mouth.
"Abandoning the wounded soldiers, low morale, exhausted troops, and long journeys, these are a group of bereaved dogs." Zhenlong immediately gave a judgment.
Most of the generals under Su Chen were influenced by Su Chen's military strategy.
Zhenlong immediately said: "It's getting late now, and at night, we will carry out another round of attacks."
"Yes, sir!" Immediately all the iron cavalry replied in unison.
Although the Yanyun Cavalry is a horse riding team, they also need to take a break from time to time. They are well-equipped, and they have enough food and grass even if they sleep in the wild. In addition, the cavalry troops march by horses and not by people.
Unknowingly, the night was getting dark, the forest was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers, and the cold moonlight shone in the forest. The eldest prince and the second prince felt the coldness of the environment, but they dared not light the torches
The second prince couldn't bear the extreme cold at night.
In the past, the two princes had enjoyed the good environment in Hal City, and it was not very suitable for them to spend the night in the wild.
"Damn it, it's all due to that Su Chen's army! We are so chasing that we dare not light a fire at night, so we can only rest in the dark!" The second prince sat behind a big rock, leaning against the rock and barely avoiding some cold wind , He covered his chest with his hands, trembling.
The situation of the eldest prince is better than him, so he can only touch the moonlight and say: "We can't light the fire, if we light it, the other party can easily attack us."
"Damn it, are those cavalrymen in the forest at night? They don't light a fire anyway. Could it be that they are not afraid of the cold?" The second prince said depressingly..
If the Yanyun Iron Cavalry Regiment is set on fire, they will have a chance to sneak attack. Although they are infantry, they can take away their horses at night, and maybe they can fight back, which is beneficial to their escape. harmless.
As everyone knows, they underestimated the ability of Yanyun iron cavalry.
The Yanyun iron cavalry are all elite soldiers who have undergone repeated battles and training in the city. Based on the situation of their 8,000 militiamen, their morale will collapse the moment they see Zhenlong's army, and they will flee in all directions.
Under the darkness of night, they were groping along the traces in the woods towards Auntie.
The torch is too conspicuous in the night, especially in such a wild forest, it is easy to attract the attention of the enemy.
They had no choice but to take advantage of the darkness and listen to the sound to keep up with the team ahead.
At this time, Zhenlong breathed out a breath of cold air, and the scouts in front came back under the faint moonlight. They came to Zhenlong and reported in a low voice: "There is movement from other teams ahead. The night is dark, and we have captured one." Soldier."
The two soldiers behind the iron cavalry who came back from the investigation joined forces and threw a tied soldier in front of Zhenlong. This soldier was wearing a half-length leather armor, and the old leather armor looked tattered on him.
At the same time, with a look of fear on his face, he knelt on the ground and was almost scared to collapse.
This is probably an additional effect in 1.2 that Su Chen's army has the effect of shocking and weakening the morale of the enemy.
As a prisoner of war, the soldiers were naturally heartbroken, especially the armor of the opponent's army, which seemed to be of high quality and well-equipped, which made deserters like them even more uneasy.
He was caught on patrol.
"Say, is your team just resting in front?" Zhenlong asked with a smile.
The prisoner of war trembled and nodded when he heard the laughter.
"I'll say everything, please spare my life." It's easier for the battle uniform to tell the truth about the legion when morale is low.
Zhenlong asked him to tell the location of the two princes' army ahead. After all, it is so dark, who can see clearly?
Su Chen, who stayed in Qingshi City at the same time, also expected that Zhenlong should probably start his attack on the two princes' army at this time. .
