Chapter 1018 Pursuit Battle on the Grassland

The heroic cavalry army discovered the probing cavalry on the grassland, and Zhou Zhu was keenly aware that this was a large-scale march southward by the barbarians, at least tens of thousands of cavalrymen.

In order to protect Yang Yuan's safety, he left only a few detective cavalry to detect the number of barbarian cavalry and monitor their actions.

The other three thousand knights all protected Yang Yuan and returned to Zhenman City.

If Yang Yuan had not been on this trip, Zhou Zhu would definitely have to get close to the barbarian coalition. After figuring out their specific numbers, he would even have to fight the barbarians before retreating to Zhenman City while fighting.

Not only can it damage the morale of the barbarian coalition, but it can also buy time for the rear.

Zhenman City is different from before. It would not be good if it was burned down by the flames of war.

It is best to stop the barbarians in the grassland north of Zhenman City. If not, don't destroy Zhenman City too much.

It would be a pity and heartache if the new city that everyone finally built was destroyed by barbarians!

Moreover, there are dozens of chambers of commerce in the city, and thousands of people in the city rely on these chambers of commerce to live their lives.

Only when the chamber of commerce is running can they have food to eat. The development time of Zhenman City is too short, and the savings of the people's families are too little. If the war stops the chamber of commerce in the city for a few days, many people's families will be in trouble!

However, the government will distribute food during wars, and people will not starve to death.

Yang Yuan didn't even think about leading three thousand knights to attack the barbarian coalition.

If it was before the establishment of the Qian Kingdom, he might have tried to do this.

But it was different now. He had to restrain his impulse.

If he had an accident on the grassland, the good development trend of Qian Country would be interrupted.

"Don't act on impulse!"

Yang Yuan did not order Zhou Zhu to turn around and fight the barbarians, and rushed towards Zhenman City with all his strength.

The behavior of the knights made the barbarian commander a little puzzled.

He had long gone south with King Khan to invade Cangyang County, and had fought against the Xiaoqi Army not once or twice.

Being able to save his life many times under Ma Teng, the commander of the barbarian coalition is still somewhat capable, especially his battlefield sense, which is absolutely unparalleled among the generals.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have managed to escape so many times.

When had the Knights discovered that they hadn't pounced on them like wolves discovering their prey?

Although it is very shameful to compare oneself to prey, the fact is the fact and it will not become false just because they modify it!

The Qiaoqijun's unusual reaction immediately made him smell something unusual.

"There's something wrong with this Cavalry Army. They must have other more important missions!"

It is certainly not easy to make the Knight Cavalry give up their mission of chasing down their barbarian coalition.

Tatamu, the commander of the barbarian coalition, thought of two possibilities.

The Knights are escorting a very important item or batch of items, but I don’t know what they are specifically;

Or they were escorting a very important person, no one knew.

But no matter what they are escorting, or have other more important tasks, destruction is the way to go!

This thought came to the mind of the barbarian commander and lingered in his mind.

The temptation to have the opportunity to disrupt the important mission of the Knight Cavalry and possibly cause heavy casualties to the Knight Cavalry is too great!

The barbarian commander could not ignore it.

"You must seize this opportunity!"

"Order the Golden Eagle Guard and the Golden Wolf Guard to send two thousand troops each, together with three thousand other large tribal cavalry, to pursue the heroic cavalry in front.

Be sure to sabotage their mission, and grab the items if they are escorting them;

When they were escorting people, they would snatch them away from me. If they couldn't snatch them away, they would kill them! "

The two commanders of the Golden Eagle Guard and the Golden Wolf Guard set off immediately after receiving the order.

They also had frequent interactions with the Knight Cavalry, but they did not have many head-to-head confrontations.

The Golden Eagle Guard and the Golden Wolf Guard are the elites of the two royal tribes and will not be dispatched easily.

But every sortie was for an important military operation.

When Ma Teng led the valiant cavalry army to expel the barbarian tribes from three thousand miles away, two elite cavalrymen fought against the valiant cavalry army.

Their combat goal at that time was to cover the retreat of other tribes.

In order to prevent the barbarian tribes from dying in despair, Ma Teng did not push too hard, but chased each tribe from a distance. If any tribe showed fatigue or flaws, they would speed up and rush forward to kill them.

The barbarian tribes are not like the lightly armed cavalry troops. The pots, pans, old, young, sick and disabled seriously slow down the speed of the barbarian tribes and weaken the tribe's defense strength.

The longer the marching team is, the more flaws are exposed!

The other barbarian tribes were too slow to send troops. By the time they agreed to send troops, most of the tribes in the south had already been killed by the Cavalry Army!

The Golden Eagle Khan had no choice but to discuss with the leader of the Golden Wolf tribe. The two royal tribes sent troops first to cover the retreat of some tribes, and then gathered troops to repel the Qianguo cavalry.

The Golden Eagle Guard and the Golden Wolf Guard combined 20,000 troops, and the 20,000 ordinary cavalry from the tribe fought with the Valiant Cavalry Army more than ten times on the huge battlefield three thousand miles south of the grassland.

The Knight Cavalry and the Golden Wolf (Eagle) Guards did not suffer too many casualties, and the injured were always ordinary barbarian cavalry.

The 20,000 Golden Wolf (Eagle) Guards lost less than 3,000, and the Knight Cavalry also suffered more than 2,000 casualties. It seems that there is not much difference in casualties between the two.

But don't forget there are also ordinary barbarian cavalry.

How many casualties did they suffer?

Five thousand!

At least five thousand!

After the tribes in the south had roughly completed their migration, the cavalry of the two tribes immediately withdrew to their respective tribes.

When Golden Eagle Khan learned of the casualties of the cavalry, he felt heartbroken.

The rank of the Golden Eagle Guards may not look big, but each Golden Eagle Guard is an elite in the tribe, and it is not always possible to select a qualified Golden Eagle Guard among the ten tribal cavalry.

The Golden Eagle Guards suffered more than a thousand casualties in this battle, which was painful to the bone!

...

This time when he went south, the Golden Eagle Khan promised a lot of conditions in order to persuade the leader of the Golden Wolf Tribe to send the Golden Wolf Guards.

The Golden Eagle Guard and the Golden Wolf Guard knew that they were chasing the Knight Cavalry, and their fighting spirit was very high.

There was no winner last time, but the tribe's cavalry suffered heavy casualties.

"I can't let you run away this time!"

It was as if the Qiaoqi Army was the first to withdraw last time.

The horses of the Golden Wolf Guard and Golden Eagle Guard are carefully selected and can run faster and farther than ordinary barbarian horses.

Although it is not as good as the Imperial War Horse, you can barely see the back of the Knight Cavalry.

Moreover, they have more troops than the Knight Cavalry Army. If they pursue them wholeheartedly, they can really cause some trouble to the Knight Cavalry Army!

Neither Yang Yuan nor the warriors of the Knight Cavalry were strong men, and the imperial war horses also needed to rest and eat fodder.

Zhou Zhu walked to Yang Yuan while eating the rations, "Sir, we don't have much time to rest. The barbarian cavalry are chasing us closely. We have to set off immediately after eating the rations!"

Yang Yuan swallowed the dry food, took the water bag, drank some water, and drank the dry food.

No, I've only had good food for a few days, and now it's a bit hard to eat dry food!

"It doesn't matter. I'm not really a rich man. I can't move easily. I said I'll listen to you on the grassland. Just give the order as usual!"

Zhou Zhu was very moved, bowed his hands in salute, and then immediately went to arrange tactics.

Since the barbarian cavalry can catch up, it means that the horses they sit on must be very good. In order to retreat more smoothly, maybe some of the troops should be left to intercept the pursuers?

Zhou Zhu ordered that half of his troops be left to intercept the pursuers, while the rest protected Yang Yuan and continued to retreat to Zhenman City!
