    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1267

    "Master Legion, we caught a few sneaky people, and after interrogation, they are scouts of the Skitarii."

    When night fell, the dark sentries arranged by the Qinghe Army captured several cathar scouts who were trying to approach the camp of the Qinghe Army's First Cavalry Corps.

    "Isn't it just a few scouts, just kill them, and report this little thing, too busy?"

    Fatty Lu, head of the First Cavalry Corps, couldn't help but roll his eyes at Peng Dashun, head of the First Banner.

    After all, there are a large number of Skitarii troops around them, and Fatty Lu has been tense, so he is also exhausted at the moment.

    Fortunately, seeing the Holy Maiden Irene in their hands, the cathars did not dare to act rashly, but fell far behind.

    "Master Legion, we have obtained information through interrogation, and I think it is necessary to report it to you." Peng Dashun continued.

    "What information?"

    "After these scouts were tortured by us, one of them couldn't bear the torture and said that they would launch a surprise attack on us tonight."

    "kindness?"

    After hearing this, Fatty Lu's expression also turned serious, and he became serious.

    "Saint Irene is in our hands, how dare they attack us?"

    Fatty Lu still has some doubts about this information.

    "This is an order privately conveyed by their red-clothed general Eugene. He wants to take the saint back from us. If he can't take it back, he will kill her to avoid being restrained by us  ¡±

    "I didn't expect this group of gods to be so cruel." Fatty Lu muttered to himself.

    Seeing the behavior of the Skitarii during the day, Fatty Lu thought that the other party would not dare to do anything to them, and they could use the saint to threaten them and retreat calmly.

    But now the information obtained by Peng Dashun also shocked him into a cold sweat, because most of the opponents were wary, but there were still some extremely crazy people who would not care about the safety of the saint, such as Eugene.

    "Pass down the order, the person will hold the title, the horse will bind the hooves, and leave overnight!"

    Fatty Lu didn't know how many people in the opponent's camp had such disregard for the safety of the saint. He didn't dare to risk the lives of his brothers.

    Therefore, Fatty Lu did not dare to continue camping here to rest at this moment, so he was preparing to retreat overnight.

    The order was issued in secret, and the cavalry brothers of the Qinghe Army who had already set up camp had to put the saddles on again.

    The scout Qingqi of the Qinghe Army took the lead in the action, and they expelled and cleared the ranger scouts around the camp.

    "Take care of yourself!"

    Fatty Lu handed over the task of breaking the rear to Peng Dashun, the head of the First Banner Cavalry, and he will lead five thousand brothers to break the rear to confuse the enemy.

    "Master Legion, don't worry!"

    Peng Dashun gave a military salute to Fatty Lu, and said loudly.

    "Walk!"

    Legion Commander Fatty Lu led the main force of the cavalry of the Qinghe Army quietly out of the camp and into the darkness.

    "Get moving for me!"

    ? Seeing Fatty Lu and others leave the camp, Peng Dashun, the head of the First Banner, was busy making arrangements as well.

    Countless caltrops were scattered in several directions of the camp, and at the same time, horse pits, deer firewood, and bridle cables were all installed one by one.

    After they finished deploying all this, it was already late at night, and there was silence in the surrounding darkness. There was a brightly lit camp in the distance, which was the camp of the Skitarii, and they had been watching them all the time.

    "Master Banner Leader, they are here!"

    When Peng Dashun just sat down to rest for a while, a sentry rushed over to report in a low voice.

    "Let the brethren follow the plan."

    Peng Dashun's eyes also burst out, and he stood up abruptly.

    "No!"

    There are also 5,000 cavalry brothers of the Qinghe Army in the camp. They are responsible for breaking the rear and covering the retreat of the main force.

    However, the camp has now been turned into a trap by them. As long as the enemy dares to attack, it will definitely be a disaster.

    Not long after, there were rustling sounds in the darkness outside the camp, and a group of Skitarii infantry with sharp knives came over.

    "Fire the arrow!"

    Seeing the many shadows in the darkness, Peng Dashun sneered and ordered.

     

    The arrows of the Qinghe army whizzed towards the darkness, and there was an endless sound of puffing and screaming one after another.

    The infantrymen of the Skitarii wanted to touch and tear a hole to facilitate their cavalry assault, but who knew they were covered by arrows, and they were killed and injured immediately.

    "General, they have been found!"

    Hearing the screams coming from a distance, on a hillside not far away, the general in red, Eugene, was surrounded by the crowd, his face full of solemnity.

    "Order, assault!"

    Now that he had been discovered, the general in red, Eugene, simply stopped doing nothing and ordered a storm.

    His purpose this time is not to destroy Fatty Lu's Qinghe army, but to seize the saint. If he can't, he will kill her to prevent her from becoming a bargaining chip for the Qinghe army.

    All of this was planned by the general in red, Eugene, so he also took a big risk.

    In the darkness, there was a thunderous sound of horseshoes, and a large number of cathar cavalry holding torches rushed towards the camp of the Qinghe army.

    When approaching the camp, the many terriers scattered on the ground caused the horses to roll over one by one, neighing, and many cathar cavalry were thrown into the darkness with howls.

    "Wow!"

    Some cavalry from the Skitarii jumped over the fence of the camp and jumped into the camp of the Qinghe Army.

    However, the next moment, dense arrows roared in, and the Skitarii cavalrymen and horses were shot into a sieve.

    Some Skitarii cavalry hung iron hooks on the fence, pulled it away with their horses, and a large group of Skitarii cavalry poured into the camp along the gap, screaming.

    However, they soon fell apart, because the camp was full of traps and ropes.

    The cavalrymen of the Qinghe Army were shooting desperately, one after another howling mace arrows and armor-piercing arrows pierced through the bodies of the cavalrymen of the cavalry.

    The camp suddenly boiled, and there was noise and neighing everywhere, and under the light of the fire, it was in chaos.

    The cavalry of the Skitarii finally broke through the barriers and rushed into the center of the camp, facing the counterattack of the cavalry of the Qinghe Army.

    Facing the cavalrymen of the Qinghe Army who were pressing up with their lances, the scimitars in the hands of the catechists were not enough to look at, and they were stabbed and fell off their horses one by one.

    "There is an ambush, retreat quickly!"

    Seeing the cavalry units of the Qinghe Army appearing on the left and right flanks and trying to turn around, the Cavalry cavalry who rushed into the camp did not dare to fight, and could only retreat in a panic.

    The battle at night is an extremely test of the quality of the army, especially the command ability of officers at all levels.

    Because the transmission of orders in the dark and the analysis of the enemy's situation are much more difficult than during the day.

    The Skitarii didn't even consider the situation of an ambush at all. Seeing the cavalry charged in front turned on their backs, they fled back in embarrassment one by one.

    The Skitarii cavalry behind were also affected, turning their horses one by one and retreating towards the way they came.

    Seeing that the cavalry was beaten out as soon as they rushed in, the general in red, Eugene, also cursed angrily.

    But in such a chaotic situation with the enemy chasing him, he wanted to order to stop the retreat of the troops, but he had no choice but to convey the order at all.

    After Peng Dashun and the others chased and killed the Skitarii for a distance, they immediately retreated decisively.

    They did not retreat to the already messy camp, but bypassed the camp and withdrew towards the distance.

    When the red-clothed general Youjin reorganized his team and rushed towards the Qinghe army camp again, this time it was easy to attack, but he found that it was an empty camp!  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
