The strong wind stirred up the yellow sand, and the horses neighed.
The hoofbeats and neighs of the Western Qin cavalry came from a long distance away.
Burke, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened.
He immediately grabbed Zhan Dao turned over and saw dust rising on the distant horizon where he looked, and he felt that the sand on the ground was shaking.
In front of the rapidly sweeping dust, a large food ranger whipped his horse and galloped over.
Burke immediately turned his head and shouted to the large food rangers who were still sleeping on the ground: "Get up, get up quickly." , an enemy is coming.”
The fighting intensity last night was so intense that the cavalrymen of the Great Food Army were woken up before they had slept for two hours.
Many of them were still in a daze and could not cheer up even if they heard the sound of an enemy coming.
Burke immediately shouted to the cavalry general: "Wake everyone up quickly.
If they don't want to die, tell them to cheer up immediately."
"Yes, General."
The general immediately conveyed the order to the officers below.
The officers had no other choice but to whip them one by one with a riding crop.
Once the riding whip went down, the skin was torn and the flesh was torn, and no matter how heavy the sleepiness was, they were gone.
The galloping Dashi Rangers finally ran up to Burke and panted to report to him: "General, the cavalry of the Western Qin Army has been dispatched.
There are about three thousand people.
Each of them is equipped with two horses.
They are still led by the general named Erzhu.
Their target should be us.
They are only six miles away from here."
After hearing this, the muscles on Boerke's face twitched, "No wonder there is such a big momentum, it turns out that it is equipped with two horses."
At this point, Burke couldn't help but get angry at the ranger who reported the news: "They are already only six miles away from here, why did you come to report so late?"
The ranger said aggrievedly: "General, it's not that we don't want to report quickly.
The West Qin Army is gathering very quickly.
By the time we figure out their generals and the size of their troops, they have already finished gathering. , and each of them is equipped with two horses, and they don’t hesitate to run wildly.
The villain has tried his best to come back and report.”
Burke felt a little irritable.
He knew that the Rangers could not be blamed for this, so he waved his hand to let him go down.
The Western Qin Army was only six miles away from here.
This distance was too close.
He had no time to form a formation to meet the enemy and hurriedly responded.
The defeat will only be worse.
When the Western Qin army spares no effort in horse power, it only takes a cup of tea to kill them in front of them.
Time was too tight, and he could no longer think about how to fight the enemy.
Since there was no time to form a formation to meet the enemy, he could only temporarily avoid its edge.
He immediately called his generals and ordered: "Send an order to everyone, in order to Reduce the load on the war horses.
No one is allowed to keep only three items: weapons, water and food.
Throw away all armor and other items and withdraw."
The general said: "Yes, General, I don't know where to retreat to."
Burke looked south to the Luti Desert: "In the direction of the Luti Desert" "Ah, Desert General, the Luti Desert is too dangerous."
Burke looked at his general: "If we don't retreat to the Luti Desert, how can we get rid of the pursuit of the Western Qin cavalry, and how can we come back to attack the main force of the Western Qin Army?
I know that it is dangerous to go to the Luti Desert, but we Must take risks” The general was silent for a moment and saluted: "Okay, I'll go and deliver the order right away."
The food cavalry left quickly under the leadership of Burke.
As they withdrew, they discarded their excess items and kept water, food and weapons.
Some even had to throw away their beloved armor.

In order to get rid of Western Qin This is a last resort to avoid the army's pursuit.
Only in this way can the burden on the horses and camels be reduced.
Shortly after Boerke withdrew with his cavalry, Erzhu Xianzhong led three thousand Xiqin cavalry to where they were just now.
A soldier jumped off his horse and looked at the footprints and hoofprints on the ground, and then took the He picked up a few piles of horse dung and sniffed it, then stood up and clasped his fists at Erzhu Xianzhong and said: "General, the cavalry of the Great Food Army was divided into twelve groups and headed for the southern desert.
It will not take more than a cup of tea."
Er Zhu Xianzhong's eyes sparkled when he heard this.
He looked in the direction of Luti Desert and said, "You are playing this trick with me again.
Come on, bring me the map."
A soldier quickly brought a map.
The craftsmen of the Western Qin Dynasty had already figured out the terrain of mountains, rivers, passes, castles in various parts of the Great Food Kingdom and drew combat maps.
Almost every general in the army had a large stack of Great Food Kingdom. map.
Another soldier spread a large blanket on the sand.
Erzhu Xianzhong spread the map on the blanket and kept searching with his fingers on the map.
As he searched, he said: "Since the Great Food Army has come again, They have two purposes for the tactics of splitting into parts.
One is to get rid of our army and then come back to harass the main force of our army; the other is to disperse our troops and then concentrate their superior forces to carry out various attacks.
Break, wait to destroy our troops, and then attack the main force of our army.
There are mountains blocking the road in both the north and south directions.
They just want to use the complex terrain of the mountainous areas to get rid of us or attack us.
Now they have divided their forces to With today's contact conditions, they can only determine the meeting point in advance, wait for our army to divide up, and then assemble to attack one of our troops.
Where is this meeting point?"
The captain of the first battalion said: "General, you see that there are things they discarded everywhere on the ground, but there are no food bags, water bags, or weapons.
This area is completely deserted from the north to the south, and even water sources are not easy to find.
I think they will definitely Meet where there is water.”
"That's right."
Er Zhu Xianzhong looked at the captain of the first battalion with some appreciation and nodded.
He pointed on the map with his finger.
This location is located more than 300 miles due north from here.
There is a mountain there named It's called Langtou Mountain.
The mountains around here for hundreds of miles are all bare.
Only Langtou Mountain has dense trees and green grass.
There is a small stream on the mountain that flows to the foot of the mountain.
Over the years, a cold pool has been created, where water is collected. the only location.
Er Zhu Xianzhong stood up and sneered: "Humph, Boerke wanted to lure our army to split up and pursue us, so that they could concentrate their forces to defeat us one by one, but I, the general, refused to follow his lead and passed on the order, regardless of the other scattered troops.
The food army cavalry, all the officers and soldiers will follow this general to pursue the large food cavalry heading towards Langtou Mountain, and advance at full speed."
"yes"
Then, the army moved quickly.
Each of the three thousand fine cavalry rode a horse and led a horse to quickly pursue a small group of cavalry from the Great Eater Army heading towards Langtou Mountain.
The things discarded by the Great Eater on the ground were not at all No one paid attention.
It took a long time after the soldiers of the Western Qin Army left before anyone came out from Nabid Town to pick up things.
Burke ran with five hundred cavalry for more than an hour.
When he was about to reach the expected ambush location, a follower behind him came to report: "General, three hundred cavalry of the Western Qin Army have caught up."
These three hundred cavalry were the vanguard arranged by Er Zhu Xianzhong.
One was to confuse Boerke, and the other was to explore the way for the army.
If there was an ambush by the food army, these three hundred people were just the bait to lure out the ambush army. , the main cavalry behind will arrive soon.
While galloping on his horse, Burke turned his head to look behind him.

Sure enough, he saw a wisp of dust rising from the sky on the horizon.
He immediately ordered to his general: "You lead two hundred men and slow down until the Western Qin Army's cavalry can I kept my distance from them when I saw you.
I will lead 300 people to speed up and ambush ahead."
"Yes, General" Huang Chen, the captain of the first battalion, led three hundred cavalrymen and chased along the horse hoof prints and horse dung along the way.
Finally he saw the figure of the food army.
He immediately shouted: "Speed up and catch up."
"Chase" There was another galloping, but Huang Chen soon discovered that the cavalry of the Great Food Army always kept a certain distance from his men and horses.
He accelerated the pursuit, and the Great Food Army speeded up to escape.
If he slowed down, The cavalry of the Great Food Army also slowed down, and a pocket-like basin terrain appeared in front of Huang Chen's sight.
"Interesting, interesting."
Huang Chen seemed to have noticed what the Dashi Army was up to.
He turned around and asked the messenger behind him: "How far is the main force from us?"
"General, we are ten miles away.
This is the shortest distance we can maintain.
If we get any closer, we will be discovered by the food army."
Huang Chen said to the ordering soldier: "Send the order, there may be an ambush ahead, brothers, don't panic, the main force of our army is ten miles behind us, and can be reached in a cup of tea.
Even if we encounter an ambush, as long as we can hold on to a cup of tea, In the time it takes for tea, the food army will be dead.”
"Yes, General" Seeing that the two hundred cavalrymen of the Great Food Army entered the hilly terrain with sand dunes on both sides and a basin in the middle, Huang Chen led the soldiers to chase them without any pressure.
When he reached the mouth of the basin, he reined in his horse and stopped, and began There was some hesitation, but after he saw the cavalry of the Great Food Army escaping from the valley entrance at the other end, he quickly led the soldiers to beat their horses and continue the pursuit.
At this time, a centurion who was ambushing on the sand dune on the left said to Burke: "General, the Western Qin general just hesitated for a while, would he have discovered something?"
Burke said: "The terrain here is suitable for setting up an ambush.
Anyone with military education knows that this is a dangerous place.
His hesitation is a normal instinctive reaction.
If he leads people to pursue him without hesitation, I would suspect that he is It’s not like you noticed something, don’t think about it anymore, they are all going to come in soon, be ready to attack.”
"Yes, General" "Believers of Allah, my brothers, rush down with me and kill these infidels who have invaded our land."
Burke shouted, drew his Damascus scimitar and took the lead in riding down.
"Allah" The cavalrymen of the Great Food Army shouted Allah's slogans and drove their horses towards the cavalrymen of the Western Qin Army below
