Chapter 62: Tempting Fat Meat

the imperial city gate under the escort of Xiao He's troops.From Mu Yinghua's words, Zhang Liyang learned that this route was divided into two parts: one by water and the other by land.Thirty miles fr...On the howling plains, a thousand-strong troop halted at a sheltered spot for rest.

Although you can see far here, there are still squads of soldiers patrolling within this troop.

The greasy leather coat effectively shielded the wearer from the biting wind. Behind the bald head, a pigtail-like braid swayed slightly in the cold breeze.

This is the Ci Lai, a nomadic people who have lived in the northwest of the Great Qian Dynasty for a thousand years. They are also the strongest and most ferocious people on the border of the Great Qian Dynasty.

In the center of the formation, a large tent blazed with a fire pit that radiated heat, warming the interior to a comfortable springlike temperature.

At this moment, several bandit leaders are sitting inside a tent, drinking and eating meat.

Unlike other dynasties' regulations, drinking alcohol was prohibited in the army during wartime. However, among Ci Lai's troops, drinking was the norm as long as they didn't get drunk.

The liquor and the temperature inside the big tent had many of the rebel leaders taking off their outer coats, revealing their strong muscles underneath.

A creature that primarily feeds on meat, the porcupine's body is naturally robust due to its harsh living conditions.

"Report!"

At this moment, a report from outside the big tent caused the atmosphere inside to pause for a moment.

A man with a full beard, sitting at the head of the big tent, put down his wine glass and said, “Come in.”

"Sir, there is military intelligence."

"He said."

"Our reconnaissance squad failed to return on time."

Upon hearing the report from the soldiers below, a flash of grimness crossed the leader's eyes.

When two armies clash, if your own scouting party goes missing, there's only one reason: the enemy is close.

Likewise, everyone else in the large tent put down their cups, all with bloodthirsty glint in their eyes.

Although the main purpose of coming here this time is to attract the attention of Feilong City, they are not kind people. After all, it hasn't been long since Feilong City was taken back by Dayan.

"Let the adults give the order, I can't wait to shred those southern dogs to pieces."

The Great Qin army, known as the Northern Wolf, was in the eyes of these even fiercer and more imposing Xīrài like a pack of timid dogs!

A glimmer flashed in Tammuz's eyes as he heard the eager pleas of his subordinates.

Unlike the generals below him, he knew the reason his tribe was sent to war—it was because of that Fiery Heaven Order!

If I were to swallow all those little weasels, would I then be able to...

As soon as he thought of this, Tamu's heart suddenly became agitated!

Smack!

Palm strikes the table, Tamune's mind is made up!

"Send out scouts to investigate! Report back at once!"

"Yes!"

When the scout had left, Tammuz's gaze swept across the big tent before he spoke, "Talmari!"

Here!

A named bandit leader, called by name, beamed with delight and sprang to his feet instantly. The tattoos on his muscular, naked body seemed to writhe and pulsate, even more menacing.

"You have six hundred cavalry at your disposal, ready to be deployed at any time!"

"Yes, I promise to chop all those little dogs to pieces!"

Under such close proximity, the cunning scout quickly discovered the whereabouts of the Dagan Dynasty's army.

Then, within Shile's massive camp, a thunderous roar erupted as hundreds of warhorses, ridden by Shile's elite cavalrymen, surged forward with incredible skill and speed.

After Takeri's departure, the entire camp began to pack up. Takeri was just an advance force, these people were the main force. They only waited for Takeri to hold back the army of the Great Qin Dynasty, and their main force could swallow the army of the Great Qin Dynasty.

As for whether the 600 cavalry of Takarishi could hold back the thousand-man force of Dayan, no one on this side would have any doubts.

In past wars against the Great Qin Dynasty, there were countless examples of over a hundred cavalrymen holding back thousands of soldiers from the Great Qin Dynasty!

"Report, sir, we've found traces of the Great Jin hound."

Upon the towering steed, Takali stood imposing as a bear, “Where are they How many”

"Ahead fifteen li, there are about 1,500 people on the opposite side, mostly infantry, with about two hundred cavalry."

"One thousand five hundred!"

Tarko was taken aback by the scout's report, not because he was surprised by the enemy's numbers, but because he couldn't believe this good news.

With only around 200 cavalry, one could allocate 150 cavalry to fight them and that would be enough considering our situation. But what about the remaining 450 cavalry Could they defeat over a thousand infantry

Of course! With the Skillful horsemen and formidable strength of the Ci Lai tribe, they'd be a prime target, practically handing themselves over on a silver platter!

Although the vanguard's primary role is reconnaissance and delaying the enemy, this vanguard wouldn't refuse a piece of easy prey delivered to its doorstep.

"Lead the way!"

Led by scouts, Tarko with six hundred cavalrymen quickly arrived at their destination, a mountainous area with rugged terrain.

Looking at the large army of Dayan hiding in the hills, Tako's eyes flashed with a hint of disdain.

Although it is undeniable that this hilly terrain does somewhat restrain the impact of cavalry, Takkory still has confidence in swallowing this fat piece.

"Are there any ambushes nearby"

"Reporting to my lord, no enemy was found within twenty li!"

"Twenty li, that's about enough!"

Taco's idea was simple, even if the other side had an ambush set up, the twenty miles distance would be enough for him to swallow this fat piece of meat.

"Order them to encircle the Great Qi canine on both sides and launch their attacks!"

"Also, detach one hundred cavalrymen to a high ground. Upon discovering enemy movements, report immediately and engage them!"

Though they appear rough and savage, in battle they are incredibly meticulous.

Brothers, follow me and charge! Let's crush those Da Qian dogs!

"Charge!!"

"Kill!!"

The impact of five hundred cavalry was like a flood breaking its banks, unstoppable!

"Enemy attack!!!"

A piercing alarm sounded, but it was hardly necessary. The very earth trembled, warning them that enemy cavalry charged toward their position!

"Swordsmen, prepare! Pikemen, prepare!"

"Archer, ready!"

On the side of the Great Qin Dynasty, Yuan Li watched the cavalry charging in. There was no panic on their faces from being ambushed, only calmness!

Be a soldier!

Yuan Li's calmness also kept the other soldiers from panicking too much. Under orders, the shield bearers raised their shields to form a circle, while the pikemen stood behind them, raising their spears. The archers drew their bows and nocked their arrows!

Five hundred steps!

Three hundred steps!

Two hundred and forty steps!

"Shoot!"

A hail of arrows rose from behind Yuan Li, launched at the enemy cavalry two hundred and forty steps away!

But the cavalry of the Ci Lai were only able to shoot their arrows at a distance of two hundred paces, which was precisely the gap between Ci Lai and Da Qian.

In terms of individual combat prowess, Dagan is indeed inferior to Ci Lai. However, in terms of military technology, Dagan surpasses Ci Lai by a significant margin!dy was curled up like a waterlogged bamboo stick, charred by the flames, the soldier recognized their target from his clothes!A faint smell of barbecue wafted to his nose, but the soldier forcibly sup...
