Chapter 489: Perfect Ambush
Just after Zhuge Liang had completely arranged the formation, the figure of Fu Ward appeared on the horizon.
"What good luck!" Zhuge Liang chuckled.
Zhuge Liang did not say much, and secretly developed Xun You's spiritual talent to the extreme.
To be honest, Zhuge Liang was a little nervous. This was his first time to fight in a war, and he was the commander.
"Kong Ming! You must remember that war often gets out of control and opportunities are fleeting, so you must never look ahead or behind!" Zhuge Liang's mind inexplicably flashed through the content of Huangfu Song's nagging all day long.
"Although I don't have a good location to defend, I have the right timing and people. As for the camel cavalry retreating southward, my preparations are far better than theirs!"
Zhuge Liang used Zhao Yun's talent. At this moment, his eyes were as calm as water. It was not only the effect of Zhao Yun's talent, but also Zhuge Liang himself had realized it.
On the other side, Fu Ward hesitated and ordered to rest temporarily on the spot, and sent several of his personal guards to explore ahead.
He had a feeling that the endless desert that was supposed to be for camel riding was now full of danger.
"General, those bastards are chasing us again!" Zasali looked hatefully at the Xiliang cavalry that were chasing them again in the distance, and said to Fuward.
"Wait a little longer, we are almost entering the desert, and then it will be our home ground!" Fu Ward shook his head.
"General, are you worried about an ambush ahead?" Zasali was no fool. The obvious hesitation on Fuward's face allowed him to sense a lot of information.
"It's very dangerous. If there really is an ambush, Zasali, you should go directly and bring all the information back to report to His Majesty! Tell His Majesty everything you know!"
Fuward began to tell his last words. He had already felt the call of the Death Star.
"General! How can I live alone!" Zasali was shocked. This was the first time he saw Fuward like this.
"Shut up, this is an order, you must follow it!" Fuward didn't give Zasali too many chances, he interrupted Zasali and said sternly.
"This is not good. They have actually started to rest. Kong Ming, what should we do next?" Gao Chong asked Zhuge Liang through voice transmission.
"Wait! Resting after a long journey will only make them more tired. Even if they rest for a few hours, their fatigue will not go away." Zhuge Liang said firmly.
"Kong Ming, the reconnaissance cavalry is approaching, should we attack?" Lu Lingqi asked in a low voice. She was on the right wing, and Fu Ward's reconnaissance cavalry was almost a hundred steps away from them.
"Keep waiting. Ordinary soldiers don't have the insight of General Gao. General Gao only noticed it because he knew there were troops here. Keep waiting !" Zhuge Liang said calmly.
Just as Zhuge Liang had thought, the scouts did not notice the ambush which was only a few steps away. The distance of several miles made them feel at ease, and then the scouts turned their horses around and went back to report.
The reconnaissance guards came back and found nothing. Fu Ward finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that I have thought too much. We are galloping all the way. Even if the Han army on the other side of Congling wants to ambush us, it will be too late."
Fu Ward looked at his own soldiers and couldn't help feeling a bitter taste in his mouth. Has he reached the point where he sees enemies everywhere?
"Are you becoming more and more nervous?" Fuward's face was gloomy. He began to feel that he had betrayed the trust that Vasudeva I had placed in him.
He used to be invincible, but now he suffers defeat after defeat. If he had made up his mind earlier to break the false invincibility of the camel cavalry, perhaps he would not have ended up like this.
"Get on the camel and return to the city!"
After Fu Ward finished his last bit of dry food, drank a sip of water, and rested for a while, all the soldiers felt less tired and seemed to have some strength again.
After hearing the order, all the soldiers jumped on the camels consciously, but some soldiers fell to the ground in the instant after jumping on the camels.
No soldier got off the camel to help because Fuward did not give the order, and they also knew that their comrades would never be able to stand up again.
It is a habit developed from many years of military service that they take obeying orders as their duty in times of war, and they have no complaints even if they are treated as a suicide squad.
Because they don't obey orders, commanders die faster on the battlefield.
The common feature of the super legions is that they completely abandon their own emotions on the battlefield and place all their emotions on people or objects.
Therefore, the performance of a super legion is generally closely related to the main general. If the main general is in great shape, the soldiers will also perform beyond their level. If the main general begins to doubt his own life, the combat effectiveness of his soldiers will only become worse.
Rome relied on the eagle flag, the Kushans relied on gods and Buddhas or their chief generals, and the Han Dynasty relied on its chief general. Basically, no matter how things changed, they remained essentially the same.
That’s why there is a saying that if one soldier is incompetent, the whole army will be incompetent as well.
Generals are the courage of soldiers, it has been like this since ancient times.
The camel riders stepped into the desert with Fuward's cautious mindset. After the entire army entered the desert, a trace of slackness appeared visibly throughout the army.
"Am I really being overly sensitive?"
Fu Ward laughed at himself. The desert was their home ground, but he actually felt afraid of it just now. It was ridiculous.
"I will go back to replenish the soldiers this time. I will come back after the new camel cavalry training is completed!" Fu Ward looked back at the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that had already chased to the edge of the desert.
The desert environment obviously further weakened the speed of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, further weakening their combat effectiveness.
But it doesn't matter anymore. In Fu Ward's opinion, it is impossible for the Xiliang Cavalry to catch up with them. They will probably give up in a few minutes.
Just when he thought everything was settled, a roar was heard.
"Go to hell!"
Along with the roar, countless arrows shot out from the front of the camel riders, and four to five hundred camel riders fell in an instant.
Many were shot to death by arrows, but more were simply frightened unconscious by the sudden attacks. However, being unconscious in this situation is no different from death.
The next moment, in the eyes of the camel riders, countless Han soldiers suddenly appeared from the front, each with black smoke wrapped around their bodies, and launched an attack towards them with roars.
The cavalry rushing in the front were the Xiliang Iron Cavalry headquarters that defeated them.
The unrivaled momentum of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the shadow of several defeats suddenly erupted, and the fear in the hearts of the camel riders was infinitely magnified.
Under the influence of several layers of debuff, many soldiers simply stood there waiting to die. They had completely lost the will to resist.
Without waiting for Fuward to issue an order, several legion attacks directly smashed the camel cavalry camp.
“Go ahead!”
Fu Ward looked extremely dazed, but his rich experience still allowed him to make the most correct decision.
But how much can they achieve when facing the Han soldiers who are just waiting for an opportunity?
