Chapter 1461: Battle of the Valley

"Quick, follow up!"

"People behind, keep up!"

"hurry up!"

Fifteen thousand Xiqu troops were marching rapidly towards the Ada Valley.

The situation in Kampot is critical.

Anyone with a little military knowledge knows the consequences of the loss of Gongbu.

Therefore, even if he had 15,000 troops to deal with the enemy's 2,000 or 3,000 troops, Dusitta was unwilling to lead his troops to attack, and chose to go around the enemy's flank from the Ada River Valley.

While urging the army to speed up their march, Du Xiduo was thinking hard.

If these 15,000 troops charge forward, what kind of threat can they pose to the enemy?

Since the enemy dared to march towards Gongbu, they must have a large number of troops.

If these 15,000 men attacked the enemy's flank directly, they would probably not be able to resist once the enemy attacked them.

Attack the enemy's food supply route?

But now they know nothing about the enemy in the direction of Ganci, and they don’t even know how many troops the enemy has.

If we attack the food supply route rashly without paying attention, the whole army will probably be wiped out.

After much thought, Du Xiduo couldn't think of a good solution.

Finally, he decided to charge forward and then meet up with the reinforcements sent by Lobtenzin!

After the two armies meet, we will make plans for the next step based on the situation!

"General, the Ada Valley is ahead!"

At this time, the deputy general came up and pointed to the Ada Valley which appeared at the end of the sight.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, the valley is low in altitude and there is a stream in the middle of the valley. The valley is also full of lush aquatic plants and looks green.

Looking up, you can see cattle and sheep in the valley. They must be the nearby tribes grazing there.

Blue sky, white clouds, grassland, streams, cattle and sheep...

Even a warrior can feel the beauty of this painting.

Du Xiduo looked in the direction of the deputy general's finger and exclaimed sincerely: "What a great place!"

“Really a great place.”

The deputy general nodded in agreement: "We must not let such a good place be occupied by Daqian!"

"Ah."

Du Xiduo responded, but he was extremely unsure in his heart.

It's just like shouting slogans.

It's easy to shout it out.

But it is extremely difficult to achieve.

Now that Ganci has been occupied by the enemy, Xiqu, which was already at a disadvantage, has lost the initiative again.

How should Xiqu resist the attack from multiple enemy armies?

After sighing in his heart for a while, Du Xiduo ordered his deputy general again: "Pass the order, the army quickly passes through the valley, and set up camp in the upper reaches of the valley tonight! Oh, and catch a hundred or so sheep for the brothers to eat!"

"This……"

The deputy general was in a dilemma. "General, King Chinpu has already issued an order that no tribes should plunder at will..."

"What do you mean by random plunder?"

Du Xiruo looked at the deputy general unhappily, "Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, the morale of our troops is low. I will kill some sheep to reward the soldiers and boost their morale. Isn't that right?"

The deputy general was speechless and could only obey the order.

Although he also knew that Dushita was greedy.

But there is some truth in what Dushita said.

Faced with a powerful enemy, the morale of their 15,000-strong army was indeed somewhat low.

Within three days at the latest, they might have to engage in battle with the enemy.

Something really needs to be done to boost morale.

If the morale of the soldiers is not raised, once they get into trouble, they will probably surrender.

never mind!

Aren’t they just a hundred or so sheep?

As long as it boosts morale, it doesn't matter.

Even if King Chinpu knew about it, he couldn't blame them.

Moreover, what will follow is probably a brutal battle.

Maybe they won’t live to see that time!

Why think so much!

Thinking of this, the deputy general suddenly felt as if his Ren and Du meridians were opened. He felt no pressure at all and directly ordered a team of soldiers to go ahead and collect 200 sheep.

Two hundred sheep were not a lot for their fifteen thousand men.

It is definitely impossible to fill yourself up by eating mutton!

Upon learning that they would have mutton for dinner tonight, the soldiers who were going to collect sheep immediately became excited, and the fatigue from the rapid march also disappeared in an instant.

Soon, a group of soldiers came to a few herdsmen who were gathered together to look at their army, and said aggressively: "We want to take 200 sheep from you. Drive your sheep together immediately for us to choose!"

"This this……"

Several herdsmen looked at each other with uneasiness on their faces.

They are really uneasy!

They never expected this to happen!

They don't know what to say now.

I was afraid that saying one wrong thing would ruin the whole plan.

Bang!

Just as they were staring at each other, the leading soldier kicked one of them down and growled fiercely, "What are you still standing there for? Go and herd the sheep!"

A few people looked at the group of soldiers timidly and hurried to herd the sheep.

If you don’t know what to say, don’t say it!

The more you talk, the easier it is to be exposed.

Seeing that the herdsmen didn't even dare to fart, a group of soldiers burst into triumphant laughter.

These people were not herdsmen and did not know how to herd sheep at all. It took them a long time to finally drive a flock of sheep over.

Fortunately, the soldiers thought that they were just frightened or unwilling to drive the sheep over, and did not suspect anything.

A group of soldiers drove the lambs and pregnant ewes out of the flock, and then took away all the remaining sheep, which definitely exceeded two hundred.

"Should we cry a little?"

After the group of soldiers walked a little further away, a Daqian soldier disguised as a herdsman asked the others in a low voice.

"Well...then cry for a while!"

After they discussed it, they immediately sat on the ground and burst into tears.

Hearing the crying sounds coming from behind them, the group of soldiers burst into laughter. They were only thinking about eating meat tonight and did not take their crying sounds seriously at all.

When they reported to the deputy general, he learned that they had driven back more than 300 sheep. The deputy general wanted to scold them, but then he thought better of it.

What is the difference between recruiting 200 sheep and recruiting more than 300 sheep?

whatever!

Let’s have a good lamb meal tonight!

Looking at these fat sheep, the deputy general's mind was now full of greasy roasted lamb, and he completely forgot that the spies they sent out had not returned to report for some time.

Soon, the army officially entered the Adda Valley.

Seeing their large army, the herdsmen in the valley had already run to the side and hid.

Just when all the soldiers were drooling over the mutton, a flag fluttering in the wind suddenly stood up.

"Kill! Kill!"

Before many people noticed the existence of the flag, a deafening shout of killing suddenly rang in their ears.

The sudden shouting and killing startled everyone.

"There's an ambush!"

"Retreat! Quick, retreat!"

Du Xiduo reacted and immediately yelled loudly.

Before the messenger beside him could blow the horn to retreat, a rain of arrows fell from the sky.

puff!

A sharp arrow pierced the messenger's body, and the messenger fell directly off his horse.
