2883 Preparation
"Marty, how many catapults can the enemy assemble in total?"
After taking a breath of air conditioning, the dog immediately asked nervously.
At this time, he already understood why Xiao Han asked him about the range of the cannon he was carrying!
I think the Marquis wanted to do something before the enemy took action, and to use cannons to directly destroy their catapults!
Otherwise, you can't kill those cows first to prevent them from being frightened, right?
You know, it is easy to kill a cattle, but if you kill a cattle, who will pull a cart?
Without pulling, the cart could not move. Their moving turtle array will immediately become a dead turtle array.
Next, the enemy did not need to take action. They surrounded themselves without attacking them, and they would trap themselves in this desert.
Speaking of which, many people in the army did not understand before.
Why, after discovering the enemy, Xiao Han not only did not immediately garrison the troops to defend, but also let the most combat-capable cavalry among them leave the formation?
In fact, they didn't know that Xiao Han did this, which was a helpless move.
To put it bluntly, the formation that Xiao Han has established now is a fat piece of bait in the eyes of Tuguhun people. As long as the barbarians outside are not stupid, they must come up to eat it.
Of course, since Xiao Han dared to walk around the enemy in a daze, it means that he was not afraid of the attacks of these barbarians, or that he was confident that he could defend this formation!
But if you can defend the formation and defend it, it does not mean that he is not afraid of being besieged.
After all, the turtle formation has good defense, but if you want to attack, you still have to attack the cavalry that runs faster than the rabbit. That's not to be thought about.
Once their weaknesses without attacking methods are discovered by the enemy, they are afraid of getting in and being surrounded by the enemy and not attacking them, and they are consumed.
It’s easy to say that they don’t lack meat, fuel, and leather in the array, and they can afford to consume it, but the only thing they lack is water!
Once there is a lack of water, let alone people can't stand it, even the yaks and horses in the formation can't stand it!
Therefore, after discussing with Cheng Yaojin and others, Xiao Han decided to release all the cavalry.
First, to save water.
The second is to share the pressure of the formation.
With such a wandering enemy, I think those Tuguhun people dare not attack unscrupulously and siege the formation!
In addition, Xiao Han's formation would not sit in the trap. They are now approaching the water source bit by bit.
As long as they go to the water source, they will not only solve the problem of water shortage, but also rely on rivers and lakes to reduce the difficulty of defending against enemy cavalry.
"It's not clear whether the enemy has a catapult and how many catapults there are! But even if they have one, there will definitely not be too many! Wait until then, see if the scouts can determine their location and number first!"
After lowering his head and thinking for a moment, Xiao Han could not confirm whether his guess was correct.
After all, those scouts now only saw the Tuguhun people transporting materials. As for the finished product, I didn’t even see the root hair!
What if they guessed wrong? They transported wood just to chop firewood and burn fire?!
Thinking of this, Xiao Han, who was a little upset, simply walked out of the tent and looked at the darkening wilderness outside.
Deep in the wilderness, there were sparkling lights of fire, which was the location of the enemy's camp.
Two large armies of enemy camps appeared in the same wilderness at the same time, but kept a distance from each other!
How can this picture be seen? How can it make people feel weird?
However, such scenes have long been commonplace for those generals who have experienced battle formations.
As soon as the two sides met, they were strangled to death. Most of them occurred between two armies with a small number of people. Otherwise, it would be forced by one side to fight!
And like now, there are tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides, or even hundreds of thousands, and it will definitely not be a matter of fighting overnight.
If there are more than a thousand soldiers, there are no borders! If there are more than a thousand soldiers, there are no borders!
For a decisive battle of more than 100,000 troops like the current one, no matter which side commander must make complete responses in advance!
Otherwise, if there is a fight, more than 100,000 people will shout and neigh. By then, it will be harder to convey the general's orders than to reach the sky!
"Chirrh..."
In front of the handsome tent, Xiao Han was still staring at the distance. A little harsh eagle scream suddenly came from above his head.
"here we go again?"
When Xiao Han heard the sound, he didn't have to look up and knew that the damn flat-haired young man was coming again!
On this day, the hawk above his head had come many times, and every time he flew over, he would shout a few times above their heads, as if he was swearing its sovereignty.
For this reason, there were people in the formation who wanted to shoot the flat-haired beast down.
But I had no choice but to fly, this beast was flying too high and too fast!
The arrow shot from below finally flew to its height, and it was already at the end of its strength. Not to mention hitting it, it just needs to be gently slapped with its wings and the arrow fell down crookedly.
"This damn flat-haired beast!"
The dog behind him also looked at the sky for a sound. When he saw the black shadow circling in the air, he immediately cursed hatefully: "If it weren't for not reaching you, I would have pulled out your hair and thrown it into the pot to make soup!"
"Can't reach? Wait!"
Xiao Han was still smiling bitterly, but when he heard the dog's scolding, he immediately thought of something and was stunned!
"Huh? Master, what's wrong with you?" The dog behind noticed Xiao Han's strangeness, widened his eyes and asked carefully.
Xiao Han slapped his forehead suddenly, then hugged Gouzi excitedly, laughing to the sky and said, "Why did I forget this thing? Gouzi, you are really my blessing!"
The dog was so confused that he was hugged by Xiao Han, and he was stunned!
Little did they know that at this moment, a person was also looking at this place stupidly.
I plan to work harder in the end, at least not be a Li Shentong who is Bi Ma Wen, stays there, his eyes are almost protruding:
"Hiss... are these two big men hugging each other?! I heard that Xiao Han had broken sleeves at home... Could it be that it is true!"
A night of peace.
Perhaps Abbas also knew that the way to send a small group of cavalry to harass it was of no use to the enemy's strong formation.
On the contrary, it is easy to shake their military morale, causing the tribes that have finally gotten together to have a rift, thinking that they were deliberately letting their tribe warriors die.
So, that night, he did not send anyone out, but chose to accumulate energy and wait for the battle to begin.
Chapter completed!
