"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1250
"The general has an order that all pack horses and war horses, except scout light cavalry horses, be slaughtered and eaten!"
"The general has an order that all pack horses and war horses, except scout light cavalry horses, be slaughtered and eaten!"
The orders of the general in red, Kenan, were quickly passed on to the various units of the Skitarii, and the various units also burst into loud cheers.
The army has run out of food, and now almost all Skitarii soldiers rely on eating grass roots and wild vegetables and drinking water to fill their stomachs.
At this moment, Kenan ordered the slaughter of war horses as rations, which undoubtedly gave the soldiers a chance to eat, and they were naturally rejoicing.
All the troops of the Skitarii who were marching also stopped one after another, set up pots to boil water, slaughtered war horses and pack horses, and prepared to have a feast.
"What are the Skitarii doing?"
The scout Qingqi of the Qinghe Army has been wandering around the Skitarii. A group of scouts broke through the blockade of the Skitarii scouts, and the large troops who approached them discovered the situation.
"It seems to be cooking on fire."
"They haven't turned on the fire to cook for the past two days. They probably ran out of food, so why did they turn on the fire to cook again?"
"Go, let's take a closer look."
Several Qinghe army scouts tied the horses in a hidden place, and after sending two brothers to watch over them, the rest of them approached and observed under the cover of bushes.
Soon they saw Skitarii soldiers slaughtering their war horses and pack horses, saw them throwing large chunks of flesh into the boiling pot, and figured out why they suddenly had food.
"Quickly go back and report!"
After the scouts of the Qinghe Army figured out the situation, they quickly turned back and reported the situation.
"It seems that they are really out of food."
Hearing that the Patriarchs had begun to slaughter war horses and pack horses for food, Xu Yong, head of the Eighth Field Army of the Qinghe Army, also showed a smile on his face.
Following Chen Zi'ang's orders these days, they did not kill all the cataracts, but followed closely behind, rushing up and biting them from time to time.
Moreover, the two units of the Field Eighth Army and the Guards Army took turns to fight.
Now the Eighth Army Corps followed behind the Skitarii, and the Guards Corps under Commander Chen Zi'ang set up camp to rest behind.
So the result is that, because the enemy has been chasing behind them, the cataracts have to march day and night in an attempt to get rid of the enemy, resulting in exhaustion.
However, the Qinghe army went up to pursue them in turn, so the soldiers' physical strength was well preserved and they always maintained their combat effectiveness.
"Since they cooked the meat, why are we so polite, pass my order, all the banners go to eat the meat!"
Xu Yong, commander of the Eighth Field Army, learned that the opponent stopped to cook meat, so naturally he would not give the opponent this chance to breathe.
Following Xu Yong's order, the 38th, 39th, 40th, and 41st flag regiments rushed forward quickly.
"The Qinghe army is coming!"
"Ready to fight!"
Before the meat in the cathars' pot was cooked, there was a loud cry of killing in the distance, and a large number of troops from the Qinghe Army swept in.
Those Skitarii soldiers around the cauldron also had to grab their weapons and assemble, and the scene was suddenly chaotic.
The battle broke out very quickly. Facing the attacking troops of the Qinghe Army, which was well-equipped with soldiers and food, the Guardian Army's combat effectiveness was greatly reduced due to lack of food, and it was quickly defeated.
"Withdraw!"
"Quick retreat!"
Seeing that the troops facing the battle were defeated again, the general in red, Kenan, also cursed endlessly, and had to order the troops to retreat again.
Facing the murderous Qinghe Army, the soldiers of the Skitarii had to give up the uncooked horse meat and hastily retreat towards the distance.
Many retreating cathars did not forget to scoop a piece of undercooked horse meat from the pot and stuff it into their mouths.
However, the arrows whizzed towards them, and many soldiers of the Skitarii lost their lives just to eat.
The Qinghe army quickly occupied this temporary resting place of the catastrophe, and the pot where the horse meat was cooked was still steaming.
"Tell brothers, stop chasing and cook meat for dinner!"
Seeing the skitarii soldiers fleeing in a hurry in the distance, Xu Yong didn't want the other party to die, so he let them escape, while they rested in place and began to enjoy the spoils.
NursingThe Japanese army fled in embarrassment, while the Qinghe army began to eat the cooked horse meat slaughtered by the cathars, and the angry cathars cursed again and again.
"General, the Qinghe Army did not catch up."
After escaping for a while, the out-of-breathing catastrophe stopped when they saw that the Qinghe army hadn't caught up.
However, they threw all the cooked horse meat and other food to the Qinghe army. Facing their growling stomachs, they didn't even have the energy to curse.
"General, I picked up a piece of horse meat just now, you eat first."
Seeing General Kenan in red with a growling stomach, the captain of the personal guard took out a piece of undercooked horse meat and handed it over.
As a general, Kenan can naturally get the supplies first. Even if the army runs out of food and there are still people hunting, he can still have enough to eat.
But now all the prey around him have been hunted down by the soldiers, and the food left for him has also been distributed to the guards, so there is nothing to eat.
Facing the undercooked horse meat, Kenan, who was very hungry, couldn't care less, so he could only take it.
Thinking that he, a majestic general in red, had fallen to such a miserable situation, Kenan, who was eating horse meat, was also very depressed.
"Kill!"
But before Kenan finished gnawing on the piece of horse meat, there was another cry of killing in the distance, and the Qinghe army came to kill again.
This time it was not the main force of the Qinghe Army that rushed over, but only the two banner regiments under the command of the Eighth Army.
Their purpose is very simple, that is, like driving away ducks, not giving the Skitarii a chance to breathe.
"They are like a group of mad dogs! Why are they biting so hard!"
Seeing the Qinghe Army coming again, although the soldiers of the Patriarchs cursed again and again, they didn't have the strength to fight anymore, so they had to retreat again hastily.
The Qinghe army's pursuit is also quite skillful. It's not about chasing fiercely, but at a distance that's not too far away.
A large group of Skitarii troops trudged through the mud, and many weak soldiers fell to the grass beside the road, unable to stand up again.
Some wounded were left on the side of the road because no one could carry them on.
"Don't leave us behind, please."
"Take us away, I am a meritorious person."
The wounded were lying on the side of the road begging helplessly, but now the soldiers of the cathars belonged to the mud bodhisattvas who could not protect themselves, and naturally they were powerless to help others.
Many discarded wounded and sick had to struggle in the muddy water, climbing with confidence towards the army marching in, and many of them died while climbing.
There are also some soldiers of the cataract army who saw that the defeat was doomed, so they also secretly left the main force and became deserters.
They felt that they could at least hunt some prey by acting alone, and they might be able to survive.
If you follow the big army, you will be robbed of food by other people, and there are many people with big targets, and the Qinghe army will chase after them, and you will die in the end.
Therefore, the number of deserters in the Skitarii increased one after another, and the entire army was in a state of disintegration. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
