Chapter 60 Poison
According to Akata's current mood, it is the most enjoyable time this year.
Thinking about the days when he was raided by the horse bandits, he felt a sense of anger in his heart. Finally, today, on this night full of blood and fire, he was released completely and without any scruples.
"Prince! Our troops arrived the fastest. This skill must be ours!" A guard pressed Akata excitedly with laughter at the killing of the enemy.
According to the plan, in addition to launching the river crossing battle tonight, two cavalry will also use surprise attacks to find hidden river crossing points along the upstream and downstream respectively, and launch a raid from the rear of the horse bandits.
According to Chitai, they chose to go down the river! And they were lucky. They found a suitable crossing point less than fifty miles downstream. Taking advantage of the night, they were unable to be discovered, and all three thousand cavalrymen crossed the river smoothly.
Then he deliberately circled a big circle and launched a sudden raid from behind where the horse bandits were relatively neglected.
The result was not as expected!
It can even be said that the result was completely better than he expected.
Since most of the horse bandits were restrained by the large-scale river crossing battle on the front battlefield, the horse bandits did not arrange much troops in the rear. As a result, they only launched a charge, which destroyed the weak defense outside the camp and rushed into the garrison camp in one fell swoop.
Then we saw the torrent formed by the gathering of three thousand cavalrymen, like a flood pouring down. Any force that blocked them and tried to block them would be mercilessly smashed to pieces. After rushing into the camp for several miles, the flood was divided into several small torrents, and began to spread in all directions with Chitai as the center.
All the killing scenes familiar to the grassland people were staged in the camp. Those horse bandits who had surrendered to the Mongolians and had been herd slaves for several years and thought they were finally proud of the nightmare they had once been buried in the depths of their memory.
The butcher's knife at that time was so bright and the smell of blood was so strong. One by one, familiar faces were cut down and trampled to death by the Mongolian laughter. The firelight also shone the sky like the burning tents now, like the daytime.
Therefore, many horse bandits who had just joined didn't care about resistance and just wanted to escape from here and escape from this battlefield filled with blood and fire.
So in a short time, Akata occupied the entire camp without any obstacles.
"Prince! The camp has been taken down!" After searching for the entire camp, a thousand households in the Akatai tribe reported to him: "But the subordinates did not find the leader of the horse bandits, nor did they find their food camp. However, several tents storing grass were discovered by us."
"Forage?!How can we store the forage at this time?", Chitai felt bad.
Logically, in this season, as long as there is a grassland, you don’t need to consider the forage problem of mounts. Therefore, this abnormal behavior is really confusing.
"Then Prince, are we--?" Although the words afterwards were not said, the meaning of retreat was already very obvious.
According to Chitai, he was not a hesitant person, and he immediately ordered the entire army to withdraw.
But I didn't expect that the sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from mid-air. When everyone looked up, their faces changed drastically.
Because the rockets in the sky have covered the night sky, like the night sky hidden in the air. It just happened to be in response to the huge fire ignited in the camp, forming a kind of destructive response.
"Ambushes! There is an ambush!" Without the need to report Chitai's reminder, someone shouted heart-wrenchingly. He seemed to hope that he would make his last voice in this world before he died.
"Thousands of households must be told to tell the Tartars to remember our power!" A bandit with a small commander in front of Zurbeye flattered him.
"Hmph! They will not stop until they hurt you!" Zulbe also looked at the camp not far away and cried out in a cold voice.
At this moment, they were located on a small hill not far from the camp. It was located in the southeast of the camp and was in the upper reaches of the Hailar River. Although the mountain was bare and there was no cover. But the night was their best cover. As the Mongolian coalition forces expected that the camp might attack, he had already ambushed on the hill with his elite troops.
As for the horse bandits who stayed in the camp and the river bank, they were newly recruited cannon fodder. No matter how many deaths were, they would not make him feel distressed. Even the ending of these people was to die, which was the value of useless people! On the grassland, useless people were considered valuable in addition to being a cattle and a horse for their masters.
"Let's go! The fish have already taken the bait, we should retreat!" Zuerbe also heard the terrible cry in the camp, so he turned around and walked down the hill and said, "There are still some people who are not dead on the field, so let's take them together. Otherwise, the fish will be disconnected, which will affect the king's plan!"
"Yes!", the other party immediately passed the order.
On the river bank battlefield, the horse bandits behind the horse bandits caught fire due to a surprise attack, and the horse bandits who were blocking the Mongolian coalition's crossing the river were unstable. It just so happened that the Mongolian coalition seized the opportunity to launch a larger-scale river crossing battle, prompting the entire river defense line to collapse completely.
Also in a very short time, a large number of Mongolian coalition forces were able to cross the river.
But just as Temulun was about to make a concerted effort to rush into the horse bandits' barracks and cooperate with the cavalry of the Akatai troops inside and outside, the rockets covering most of the camp immediately stopped Temulun.
Then the horse bandits, who were already in collapse, seemed to have the desire to defeat the coalition forces again, and the counterattack became more and more intense. Temulun's cavalry was immediately dragged down, but this resistance was similar to returning. As more and more Mongolian coalition forces poured into the other side, the horse bandits' resistance became smaller and smaller.
At this time, Temulun finally led the cavalry to the camp.
Looking around, the entire horse bandit camp was almost destroyed. The burning fire also subsided, but the steaming smoke columns rose from the tent that had not been burned and remained in the camp for a long time.
The pain is quiet inside, and the silence makes people panic.
In a cautious manner, Temulun asked several cavalrymen to go in first to see the situation.
But not long after I entered, I heard a violent cough.
Then soon, a cavalry covered his nose from the inside and ran out staggeringly. When he arrived outside the camp, he fell to the ground and crawled out with his hands.
Temulun immediately asked the cavalry to carry over, and then he said vaguely: "Poison! The smoke is poisonous!"
Chapter completed!
