The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 104
"This Qiu Lu really led his troops to chase after him!"

On the hillside, Mo Lun held up the binoculars and looked at the chasing "Qiu" banner from a distance.

Then he turned his head and asked the lieutenant general on the side, "Has our camp been notified that it is ready to move?"

The lieutenant general replied: "Khan, the soldiers who stayed in the camp have been informed to avoid fighting as much as possible and go north!"

"For the sake of my king's plan, I have wronged these sons and daughters!"

Beside him, the mysterious man smiled and said: "It has been said in ancient times, once the generals are successful, they will die for the Khan's great plan, and they will be considered worthy of death!"

Mo Lun didn't answer, but asked again: "How do you know that Qiu Lu will personally lead troops to pursue?"

When the mysterious man heard the words, he also smiled and remained silent.

Seeing this, Mo Lun stopped asking questions, turned to the subordinates around him and said, "We should go too, otherwise we will fight later, and it will be bad if we find out!"

……

After a while, a group of cavalry dressed as ordinary Tatar scouts quietly descended from the hillside and headed for Duoyanwei in the northwest.

………………

"What the Tatar minister said is actually true!"

On the other side, seeing the Tatar camp getting closer, Qiu Lu became more and more excited.

Originally, he just hugged the grass and beat the rabbit, but he ended up pulling out a golden stick!
What a real surprise!

Immediately, Qiu Lu ordered all the soldiers to speed up, but they must not let the Tatar Khan go...

……

As the saying goes, if there are ten thousand soldiers, there are no boundaries.

After the number of cavalry exceeds [-], it will naturally look even more spectacular.

Under the sound of the hooves of the horses, the whole earth was constantly trembling!

And such a big movement, naturally cannot be hidden from the other party.

In fact, the generals in the Tatar camp had already discovered the traces of the Great Zhou cavalry.

However, with Mo Lun's order first, the general pretended to be unresponsive, and when the Dazhou cavalry arrived at a similar position, he pretended to be in a hurry and began to arrange the retreat.

After all, not only did he want to deceive the soldiers of the Great Zhou, but he also wanted to hide the truth from his own soldiers.

No one wants to do the death thing, right?
Afterwards, the general took the lead by ordering people to light the tents and luggage, and then left [-] cavalry to intercept the advance of the Zhou cavalry.

On the other hand, he took most of the troops and fled straight to the north.

……

Looking at the thousands of men and horses who escaped from the Tatar camp and the big golden eagle banner in the rear, Qiu Lu couldn't help but be delighted.

There is only one thought in my mind at this moment:
Get Moron, gotta get Moron!
In a trance, Qiu Lu seemed to be able to imagine the scene where he captured Khan Molun and returned with glory.

Gathering his mind for a while, Qiu Lu hurriedly ordered loudly:

"Cavalry charge and capture Morun alive!"

After receiving the order, the hooves of the Dazhou cavalry suddenly became more urgent.

More than [-] cavalrymen galloped wildly, causing a torrent to suddenly appear on the plain, pressing forward like mountains and seas.

At the same time, in the Tatar camp, fireworks were everywhere, and more than [-] Tatar cavalry rode straight out of the camp, and began to charge towards the Zhou army on horseback from a distance.

When the two sides got close, they each bent their bows and set their arrows, and immediately a rain of arrows fell from the sky.

When the sharp arrow clusters fell, all the people were turned on their backs.

With just three or two arrows, the distance between the two sides is already close at hand.

Without waiting for the Tatar cavalry to turn around, amidst the sound of rumbling horseshoes, the Dazhou cavalry all hung their bows and drew their knives, their legs clamped the horse's belly fiercely, causing the horses to speed up suddenly, and rushed straight towards the Tatar cavalry.

Seeing that their own family could not escape, the Tatar cavalry also brazenly drew their scimitars and urged their horses to charge forward.

This is the beginning of close combat.

……

However, the obstruction of more than [-] cavalry was like a bottle of ink that had been drained into the river, and it quickly faded away until it disappeared.

Five hundred to ten thousand, no matter how good the Tatar cavalry is at riding horses, they are just delivering food.

But the casualties they caused to the Great Zhou cavalry far exceeded five hundred.

Furthermore, they have succeeded in delaying the plan of the Great Zhou Cavalry!

Looking at the casualties of their own soldiers, several Marquis Wu all looked dignified,

"Tatar cavalry are really good at riding and fighting!"

……

After cleaning up the battlefield, it was already dark.

The road and the like have long been submerged in the thick night, even if there is a faint moonlight in the sky, it is still hazy.

In addition, the weather changed from warm to cold, and after a while, a layer of fog rose up, making it impossible to see anything.

Qiu Lu and others had no choice but to settle down on the spot, and wait for dawn before pursuing the pursuit.

……

Early the next morning.

Qiu Lu then led the cavalry to step on the dew, break through the thin mist, and continue to pursue northward.

In the front, among the retreating Tatar main forces, there were both cavalry and infantry.

With the two phases mixed, how can they run faster than the Zhou cavalry?

Even though they kept discarding their own baggage along the way.

But it's all just pointless struggle.

One flees, the other pursues fiercely, the distance between the two is getting closer...

……

However, looking at the things that the enemy army discarded on the side of the road one after another, a bad thought flashed in Li Yuan's mind.

Is this because they are afraid that they will be lost?
Throwing things from time to time, as if deliberately leading them past...

Li Yuan also noticed that the Zhou army had penetrated deeper into the enemy's territory.

"General, we have already penetrated into the territory of Wuliangha, and now this place is under the control of the Tatars. If we are delayed, the Tatar army will surely arrive in no time!"

Li Yuan stepped forward to speak.

"Then go all out and take down the Tatar remnants!"

Qiu Lu didn't turn his head, but just stared at the front, "Order all the soldiers to capture the Tatar Khan alive, the whole team will reward him with a hundred taels of silver, and he will be promoted to three ranks!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Yuan knew that it was useless to say any more, so he retreated silently to the team.

The bad thoughts in my heart are getting bigger and bigger!
……

The heralds ran from front to back and conveyed Qiu Lu's order.

Under the heavy reward, the morale of the cavalry rose instantly. They all stared at the golden banner in front with red eyes, and their horse speed was two points faster.

The distance is shrinking rapidly.

……

The two armies are getting closer...

Afterwards, Qiu Fu gave an order, and the Dazhou cavalry suddenly scored three points.

The four Marquis Wu led two lines, encircling the Tatar's rear from the left and right flanks, while Qiu Lu himself led his troops to attack the enemy's formation from behind.

Thousands of Tatar troops, just like that, fell into the siege of the Great Zhou Army.

Immediately afterwards, another round of bloody killings began.

Facing the Tatar army, which was less than half of his own, Qiu Lu directly commanded his own army to charge over.

tactics?

No tactics needed!
Facing a group of mixed troops fleeing in panic, just go straight up and kill them.

First there was a salvo of bows and arrows, followed by a charge with a knife.

Under the flickering light of the saber, the sound of shouting and killing and the sound of tooth-piercing collision and bone cracking rose instantly, filling the entire battlefield.

……

However, the battle was not halfway through, and another accident occurred!

"Tom! Tom! Tom!"

"Ugh..."

The sound of drums and horns suddenly sounded all around!
