Kemu Kehu brought his men and followed the others. After a few days of traveling, he didn't notice anything. He didn't know why, but the calmer the Tang army was, the more worried he got. It was just like when the Tang army was hiding in the village.
Once it was ready, when the time was right, the Tang army would give him a ruthless blow. He could be considered to have met that female general, Juan Juan. Perhaps the little girl had been able to fantasize about all of those strategies, thinking back to it, it was like a dream.
Now that there was no movement for a few days, it was probably going to be troublesome. En, the sky was also dark. Could it be that they wanted to attack in the rain? No, he had to find someone to talk to in case he fell for it.
After thinking about it, Kemu Kehu went to Lufu Tuta. Lufu Tuta was busy with the cavalry training. When he saw Kemu Kehu, he seemed a little embarrassed. He pulled Kemu Kehu into the tent.
"Lufu Tuta, don't tell me you want to follow what I said and send light cavalry to attack the Tang army? No, it's too late now. Definitely not. If you want to attack, you have to wait for the rain to stop. That little brat likes to use all kinds of terrain and weather to attack. She can find an opportunity when there's fog or when the weather is hot.
Listen to me, don't think about attacking her now. Continue to shrink your troops and slow down your marching speed. Increase the distance between you and her. After the rain passes, we can talk about other tactics. Also, it's best to send someone to take care of the logistics. "
Kemu Kehu knew what the other party was thinking. He wanted to bring the cavalry out but the other party didn't agree. Now he was actually doing it secretly. Sigh ~! It's fine if you want to take credit, but not now.
Lufu Tuta was pointed out by others and felt a little embarrassed. When he heard that Kemu Kehu stopped him, he thought that Kemu Kehu was afraid that he would succeed. In the end, he gave the idea for nothing. If he listened to him, he would be a fool. When he said it was fine, why couldn't he do it?
"I have my own plans for this matter. Are you used to living here? Why don't we get someone to carry you around? That will be more comfortable. "
Lufu Tuta looked around and said to Kemu Kehu. He seemed to be very friendly, but his attitude of keeping people at arm's length was obvious.
"I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Lufututa. Since that's the case, I'll head back first." Seeing that the other party didn't listen to him, Mu Ke couldn't do anything. If it were him, he wouldn't listen to others either. Unfortunately, he didn't have enough people in his camp and couldn't do anything. Otherwise, he would think of something.
After sending Kemuke out of the tent and watching him leave, Lufututa laughed coldly and said to the people beside him, "Did you see that? This is a power struggle. He pretends to be kind, but in fact, he is not. Pass down the order. Tonight, the cavalry will attack in the rain. "
*****
The heavy rain made the originally dry ground muddy. It was just evening, and the sky was so dark that it was hard to see far away. Lufututa's cavalry was ready. At this moment, the people in front of the team who were carefully observing the tracks suddenly ran over. The Tang army increased their speed. From the distance between the horse's footprints and the people's footprints, especially the people's footprints, the distance between every two steps was larger, indicating that they were running.
"Ran away? Chase after them, order everyone to run and chase after them. The cavalry don't attack first, it will waste the horses in the rain. "Hearing that the Tang army increased their speed, Lufututa immediately ordered the troops to follow.
When it was midnight, Lufututa realized that the Tang army had not stopped. Lufututa could not let the soldiers continue chasing. He did not want the Tang army to take advantage of the fact that they were exhausted to get down from their horses. Lufututa's troops were already too far away from the other troops and it would be easy for something to happen.
Lufututa's troops stopped, but the Tang army continued to rush forward. After running for another two hours, more than two thousand people were left to rest. The cavalry and horses went elsewhere. The road was difficult, and the cavalry couldn't increase their speed. The horses were almost exhausted, but the troops continued to force their way forward. Luckily, they didn't need to carry many people, and most of them had already dismounted and left.
When the Tibetan team continued to move forward at dawn, the logistics team that was not too far behind also arrived at the hill where Wang Juan stood yesterday. In the heavy rain, the people from the logistics team moved even slower, but they did not dare to waste time and could only force their way forward. Yesterday, they had to put up a cloth to block the rain for the rations and take care of the horses. All of them were exhausted.
They only rested for four hours at night, and they had to hurry again at dawn. What if something happened in front of them and they pushed the blame to the logistics troops?
Sonny rode in the front and looked back at his troops. Many of the 2,000 men nodded after every step they took, as if they wanted to sleep. He looked at the ditches in front of him and the potholes in front of him. He did not know whether to curse the heavens or the troops in front of him for moving so fast. Sonny did not know whether to curse the heavens or the troops in front of him.
"Hurry up, it'll be fine when we catch up with the troops in front. What are we doing here? It's all potholes. Carry, carry people, carry the carts over. Are we just waiting for the horses to pull the carts over?"
Sang Er shouted at his men when he saw the carts getting stuck in the potholes one after another. The two thousand soldiers in charge of transporting the carts had to pull at the front and push at the back. They had to lift and carry the carts so that the troops could move forward slowly. It took them an hour to get past the hill. Just like that, the troops behind them and their carts got stuck in the potholes from time to time.
After another fifteen minutes, all the carts reached a relatively flat area. The two thousand logistics troops were so tired that they couldn't stand properly.
Sang Er had no choice but to order, "Rest for an hour. Damn the weather. Fix the broken carts quickly. Don't waste our time."
Hearing his words, everyone relaxed at the same time. But at that moment, countless people rushed out from behind the hill they had just passed. Fire arrows rained down on the carts. When some of the carts were on fire and some were smoking, the usual rain of arrows fell on the 2,000 logistics troops.
The logisticians were stunned by the sudden attack, and Sonny Ring was the first to be shot dead. More than ten arrows pierced into his body at almost the same time. After losing their commander and being ambushed, the logisticians started to fight on their own. Some of them crouched on the ground to avoid the rain of arrows, some picked up their weapons and ran towards the direction where the arrows came from, some ran in another direction, and some just stood there, waiting to be killed.
Wang Juan personally commanded the troops to attack. There were more than 6,000 people here. They hid for a while before the rain started. The horses continued to run. In the rain, it was hard to see the depth of the horses' hooves. It was impossible to determine how many things were on the horses' hooves. With the rain washing away, the traces disappeared.
She waited for the rain for this opportunity. As expected, the main force of the Tubo troops went to chase after their horses. The logistics troops had to stay behind.
How much food was sent to 40,000 people at once? When Lufututa was still looking for a chance to send his cavalry to attack, the sky behind them was covered in thick smoke. Even from so far away, they could clearly see the sky formed by the smoke.
Another Tubo troop that was slightly slower was the first to notice the situation. The first thought that came to their mind was that the logistics troops were attacked by the enemy. They sent out 2,000 cavalrymen to check. In the end, the wind was blowing in their direction. The people who came over were all in tears from the smoke.
Not only were the people uncomfortable, but the horses couldn't stand it either. However, they had to come. When they rushed over, they saw the burning carts and the corpses of their brothers. Some of the corpses were very far away. They ran for more than two miles, but they were still killed in the same place.
Blood mixed with mud. The thick smell of blood was nauseating. They didn't see the enemy and didn't know where the enemy was.
The leader of the cavalrymen shouted, "Put out the fire! Use the mud on the ground to cover the carts. Don't let all the food burn up."
The 2,000 cavalrymen endured the pain in their eyes and dismounted from their horses. They used their hands to throw the mud mixed with blood onto the smoking carts.
After throwing the mud for a while, Wang Juan led her men out from the back of the mountain. She also shot a rain of arrows to protect the new cavalrymen. The water cloud continued to hover in the sky, in charge of monitoring the movements of the other Tubo troops.
This time, the cavalrymen weren't completely wiped out. More than 200 of them rode back and escaped. In the end, they encountered more than 600 people and 8,000 horses of the Tang army. The Tang army seemed to have been prepared. A large portion of the 200 people were killed and the rest took a detour.
The Tang army didn't chase after them. They rushed to Wang Juan's side and let Wang Juan lead the men to chase after the escaping cavalrymen. After chasing for a while, the water cloud fell. The troops changed their direction again and went through the empty space between the two Tubo troops.
This made Wang Juan very surprised. She initially planned to take a detour and go around the two Tubo troops together. She didn't expect Lufututa to forcefully move his troops and create some distance between them. This saved them a lot of time.
Lufututa looked at the thick smoke behind him and was dumbfounded. Not to mention the general, even a normal soldier would understand what was going on. The army provisions were being attacked, and they had to scrimp and save for their meals.
Ke Mu also stood there and looked at the smoke in the sky. He didn't feel surprised at all. He muttered, "I was right, right? The Demonfiend is the Demonfiend. We can't give her any chance. She can make use of anything. The terrain, the weather, and the enemy's formation.
When dealing with her, we can't think of how to defeat her. Instead, we have to think of how to defend ourselves. Even if our troops are four times stronger than her, we have to defend like an iron bucket. As long as we can force her away, we will win. "
On the other side, Mumu Kushu's men had already returned to the camp. He told them about the attack and the ambush on his side. Mumu Kushu immediately ordered his men to defend and gave up on extinguishing the fire. He was also afraid that once they split up, they would be tricked by that little girl.
Lufututa sent men back to take a look and didn't rush forward. He was prepared to wait for the other division to come and discuss what to do next. Now, they weren't forcing the Tang army to enter the desert. Instead, they were thinking of how to prevent the Tang army from killing them.
