Chapter 61 Remy Azabao was not surprised at all by the active retreat of the Wind Army, as early as a few days ago, he had calculated that the Wind Army would start a final decisive battle, and if he could win, he would win, and if he could not win, he could only retreat, and now it was exactly as he expected.
He was confident, but the other Duki generals didn't think so, looking at the calm Feng army camp, the camp and camp tents were all there, and even the pennant in the camp was not missing, no matter how you looked at it, the wind army didn't seem to have withdrawn.
One of the Dookie generals asked worriedly: "Our army has not received the news of the retreat of the Feng army, how does the general know?"
Remy Azabao glanced at him, raised his head and said, "On weekdays, the Wind Army has already started cooking at this time, and now you can see that there is cooking smoke in the Wind Camp."
Hearing this, all the generals were shocked, and looked closely, but no, there was not a single bit of fireworks in the camp of the Feng Army, no wonder it would make people feel that the camp was still there, but it lacked vitality, it turned out to be the reason for this.
Another general asked in a low voice: "General, this can't be a trick of the Wind Envoy?"
Remy Azabao was too lazy to answer his subordinates' questions, and he said coldly: "Whoever says more and disturbs the hearts of our army, I will nail his head to the flagpole" In a word, the generals shrank their necks in fright, and they didn't dare to question half a sentence.
Remy Azabao led about 80,000 Duki troops to run out of the company camp and went straight to the wind army camp opposite.
He didn't send scouts to find out if the Feng military camp was empty, and led the army to rush in directly.
Remi Azabao is indeed calculating, and bold and careful, and the movements of the wind army are basically in his expectations.
Now there is not even the shadow of the wind soldiers and generals in the camp of the wind army, the camp tents are empty, the sundries are scattered all over the ground, nearly 300 stone throwers and city-breaking crossbows are all abandoned in the camp, and in the warehouse, tens of thousands of weapons, armor, and military uniforms that will have time to be taken away in the future.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers of Dookie were all very excited, and they started to rob like crazy, and people wanted to take more of them, so that they could use them as their trophies when they returned home.
Remi Azabao soon passed down the military order, and the wind army was not allowed to take any of its own soldiers, and the whole army passed through the camp and continued to chase and kill the wind army.
At the same time, he sent his elite 30,000 cavalry to take the lead in chasing and killing, hoping to catch up with the wind army as soon as possible with the speed of the cavalry and drag it down.
Then, he sent a message to the flying pigeon in Vaal Town, so that the 30,000 Duki troops stationed there poured out of the nest to meet the retreating wind army, and no matter what, the wind army could not be allowed to repeat its old tricks, go around the town, and withdraw smoothly.
Now he is full of confidence, that is, he wants to annihilate all the three water armies, and fight the wind country in one breath, so that the wind country understands the fate of being the enemy with Du Ji, so as to save himself from causing chaos in the future.
Although Dookie and Besa are of the same lineage, the difference in class is very large, and Dookie's cavalry is all light cavalry, and in the desert, there is no room for heavy cavalry.
Under the orders of Remi Azabao, the Dookie cavalry, commanded by two Dookie generals, Kamal and Zoe, chased them out like a whirlwind.
The retreat of the Sanshui Army was a full hour earlier than the pursuit of Duki's army, and the whole army did not bring baggage and went into battle lightly, but even so, it still could not outrun Duki's light cavalry.
As soon as noon arrived, the spies in the palace ran back to the army to report to Liang Qiyu, and a large number of cavalry chased after him.
When Liang Qi heard this, he was also secretly surprised, Du Jijun's speed of pursuit was much faster than he expected.
Bai Yong asked nervously: "How many enemy cavalry are there?"
"This has not yet been explored, but listening to the sound of its horses' hooves, there are at least tens of thousands of riders" Bai Yong gasped and muttered: "It seems that the enemy has sent out all the cavalry" After a pause, he immediately said to Liang Qi: "General, Du Ji's cavalry is very fast, if our army does not divide the army, I am afraid it will not be long before the enemy will chase and kill."
In the era of cold weapons, the power of cavalry is too great, and the armored troops in modern warfare are the same concept, if they are chased by the Duki cavalry, the Sanshui Army, which is dominated by infantry, will suffer a big loss.
Bai Yong understands this, and Liang Qi naturally understands it too.
He replied thoughtfully.
Bai Yong bit his lip and said, "The general will lead the army to retreat first, and the last general will lead 10,000 brothers to stay behind the palace."
Before Liang Qi could finish speaking, Shangguan Yuanrang sneered beside him and asked rhetorically: "How long can you stop the enemy after you leave the palace, half an hour or an hour?"
Although Shangguan Yuanrang's words were ugly, they were also true, leading 10,000 infantry to block tens of thousands of cavalry, and there was no rejection of horses or earth fortresses as defense, it was good to be able to block the opponent for half an hour.
Bai Yong said: "This is also a way to stop the enemy, how long can you block the enemy."
"Forget it, there are enough brothers killed in our army, and if you want to commit suicide, you don't need to pull 10,000 brothers as a backing" Shangguan Yuanrang said to Liang Qi: "Our army still has 10,000 cavalry, I will pick 5,000 brothers, and leave the cavalry to drag the enemy." ” Liang Qi, who had been silent, heard this, and immediately continued: "Then please let Yuan let you."
"In Liang Qi's heart, it is useless for anyone to stay behind the palace, only Shangguan Yuanrang may have a glimmer of hope if he stays.
Bai Yong grinned and said worriedly, "This is too dangerous."
Shangguan Yuanrang couldn't help but smile on his back, and said: "But if I don't do any dangerous task, who will do it Liang Qi asked the king to send me to the army to go on the expedition, isn't it for this purpose?"
was told by him about the matter, Liang Qi was not blushing and panting, but he was cheeky and praised: "Those who know me, Yuan Rang also" Shangguan Yuan gave him a blank look, and swallowed back the scolding that came to his mouth.
He went to the cavalry phalanx of the Sanshui Army, first explained that he wanted to pick out 5,000 people to stay behind the palace to block Duki's pursuers, and then asked everyone who was willing to stay with him.
None of the 10,000 cavalry was frightened, and they all urged their horses to take a step forward, all of them expressing their willingness to stay.
Shangguan Yuanrang nodded, and let the cavalry who were good at cavalry and archery come out.
Most of the 10,000 cavalry are out of the ranks, and in the Windy Country, riding and archery is one of the basic skills of cavalry, and as for those who are not refined, no one wants to admit that they are weaker than others.
Seeing that so many people were out of the ranks, Shangguan Yuanrang was a little embarrassed, and after pondering for a while, he eliminated all the children in the family who were only children, unmarried or had no heirs, and in the end, only about 4,000 horsemen remained, and he said with satisfaction: "You stay with me, other brothers, quickly retreat with the army" The Sanshui Army continued to retreat quickly the same way, and Shangguan Yuanrang led about 4,000 cavalry to stay behind the palace, and the spies of the sky eye and the earth net were like marquees, back and forth, constantly reporting the enemy's location and information to him.
Now that the spies have basically determined, Du Ji's cavalry has about 30,000, how to use 4,000 cavalry to drag the opponent's 30,000 cavalry, Shangguan Yuanrang can't think of a good way.
There were only three commanders among the four thousand cavalry, and Shangguan Yuanrang called all three of them to his front and said: "When we will fight with the enemy, you take your brothers with me, I will rush and kill, you will follow me to kill, I will retreat, you will retreat with me, understand?"
"It's the general," the three commanders bowed their hands in unison.
"In this battle, we can fight, if we can't, we will fight and retreat, and try to consume the enemy with arrows" Shangguan Yuan said Zhengse: "Duki cavalry is good at throwing, but the range is far inferior to arrows, this is our opportunity." ” The three commanders nodded again and replied, "We understand." ” Shangguan Yuanrang explained what he thought was feasible tactics, and then immediately stood in the middle of the road with a horizontal sword, waiting for the arrival of the enemy army.
Before I saw the figure of the enemy, I first saw a lot of dust rolled up in the distance, and at the same time, the rumbling thunder kept coming, the sound became louder and louder, and gradually, the ground began to shake, at this time, Shangguan Yuanrang and the others stepped off the war horses began to be uneasy, and from time to time kicked the ground with their hooves.

Shangguan Yuanrang stabilized the war horse, narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly raised the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand, and shouted without looking back: "Upper arrow" With his order, the four thousand wind cavalry took off their bows and arrows, wound their arrows, and the arrows were aimed at the air in front of them.
The speed of the Duki's cavalry was astonishingly fast, and it was still two miles away just now, but in the blink of an eye, the figure of its vanguard had already appeared in everyone's eyes.
Shangguan Yuanrang is not a wise general who gives advice and strategizes, but he has extremely rich experience on the battlefield, and he knows very well when to release arrows and when to charge.
Seeing that the distance of the enemy was almost over, he raised his long knife in mid-air and fell down sharply, shouting, "Release the arrow" airplanes Four thousand eagles soared into the air behind him, and when they reached the extreme, the arrows drew arcs in mid-air and fell towards the camp of Duki's cavalry.
Pounce, pounce, pounce in an instant, the muffled sound in the Duji cavalry camp was connected, only to hear people shouting horses neighing, screaming again and again, some soldiers were shot off the horses on the spot, some were shot by the horses arrows, even people and horses rolled forward, many soldiers who had fallen off their horses and did not die just struggled to stand up, and were knocked out by their companions who charged up behind.
After only one round of arrows, half of the hundreds of Duki cavalry running in front fell from their horses, but the remaining cavalry did not panic and charged forward with all their strength.
Next, they have to endure the second and third rounds of the Wind Army's arrow formation.
A large number of Dooky cavalry were shot into hedgehogs during the charge, and the knights who were still shouting in the crowd just now may disappear in an instant, leaving only empty horses, and in the end they will not even find a complete corpse.
Against the arrows of the Wind Army, the Duki cavalry rushed within twenty paces of the Wind Army, and at this time it was already within their range.
I saw that the Duki cavalry running in front threw out the spears and spears in their hands with all their might, and then, they pulled out their scimitars and long swords and continued to charge.
When the two sides are far away, the throwing power cannot be exerted, but within twenty paces, the throwing power of the Duki cavalry should not be underestimated, spears and spears fly into the crowd of wind troops, as long as they are stabbed by it, the whole person will be pierced off the war horse and nailed to the ground alive
