When Houmede finished speaking, the guards had already passed the orders to the soldiers. Although many people could not understand, they still executed the order immediately. Faduin led the thousand households under his command to escape from the army and chased the Anxi army. The rest of the troops turned north with the Hadi army as the guide.

"Fast, faster than just now." Houmede ordered loudly again. They wanted to bypass the entire Bairam hill and walk longer than the Anxi army. They had to speed up to continue chasing behind after this section of the road.

While speaking, the idea of ​​bypassing the hills as quickly as possible and blocking the Anxi army between the hills and the Karakum River. But he quickly threw this idea out. There were ships of the Anxi army in the river. Even if the Anxi army was blocked in the middle, they could still provide supplies through the river transportation and could confront the Dashi Army. After a long time, the only thing that could not support the logistics was himself.

More importantly, although Hou Meide criticized the generals and soldiers for their fear of the Anxi Army, he was actually a little afraid and unwilling to fight a tough battle with the Anxi Army. The purpose of this trip was to send the Anxi Army away from Khurashan. Unless Liu Qi's deployment showed a big flaw, he would never take the initiative to attack.

Just as he was thinking, the screams of the guards suddenly sounded beside him: "Be careful, General!" At the same time, the sound of breaking through the air also reached his ears.

Hou Meide immediately bent down, his chest tightly against the horse's back, and his arms bent to block his hands without armor.

He had just finished these actions and the arrows had already flew into the soldiers. From time to time, the sound of arrows shooting into the armor and bounced away came from beside him, and there were also people's screams. Obviously, someone did not react in time and was shot by the arrow.

"The Qin people actually used a crossbow chariot!" said a guard. Although he did not see what arrows were shot out from the hills, he could tell how much force it used to shoot the arrows based on the sounds made after the arrows hit the armor and the distance between where they were and the edge of the hills. This power was definitely not something that humans could do, but only mechanical crossbows.

"The general guessed correctly. I remember that there were no crossbow chariots in Qin's army. There were only catapult chariots in the long-range weapons. All crossbows were hand-held crossbows, and the range did not significantly exceed that of the bow. These Qin soldiers carrying crossbows must have been recently transferred from the north." Another shouted.

"Don't just talk nonsense!" Seeing these two people's words, the other guards also had to speak out their thoughts. But before they spoke, they heard the words coming out, and everyone immediately heard the voice of the guard leader Kmali, and kept silent.

"You guys who are closest to the general have more eyesight. After Qin stopped shooting archery, he quickly helped the general up." Kemali got off the horse and came to Houmeide's side, slowly helped him up, and scolded the other guards.

"Yes. We know we were wrong." The closest people agreed immediately.

"Don't scold them. They are young after all, and they have not been to me as guards for a long time. It is normal not to know these things.

Moreover, after this battle, our army will probably not fight with the enemy for a long time, and they will probably not need to understand this for many years." Houmeide said.

"Yes." Kmari wanted to refute a few words, but remembered that he was still on the battlefield and put back what he was going to say.

"You should hurry up and send orders to the generals, telling them not to be affected by the harassment of the Qin man, and let them tell the soldiers immediately that it is within my expectations that the Qin army will ambush the soldiers in the hills, so that they don't have to worry." Hou Meide ordered the guards again.

Everyone agreed and turned their horses to the teams of thousands; Houmede shook the reins and asked the mount to continue moving forward, while looking up at the south, looking at the hills for a while.

‘I guessed the transfer of the ship to the Karakum River and prepared for precautions. I guessed the ambush soldiers in the Bayram hills, and also prepared for precautions. Liu Qi, what other tricks do you have to use?’

Hou Meide was thinking when he suddenly heard a loud noise in front of him. He hadn't heard this sound for a long time, but he still knew what the loud noise meant.

"Where did Qin's soldier throw grenades?" he shouted loudly.

"General, it's not Qin's army throwing grenades, it's landmines, it's landmines. Qin's army buried landmines in the north of the hills. They were just stepped on by a horse riding a Hardy soldier who was walking in front. The horse immediately lay on the ground and threw the person on his back out! Fortunately, the second landmine did not trigger!" An escort hurried to him and quickly reported.

"Landmines? Qin's army actually buried mines?"

"Yes, it's a landmine."

Hou Meide was about to have an idea vaguely burst into his mind, but he thought about it carefully but couldn't find it out. He could only let go of this idea for the time being and asked: "How is the horse? How is the man? What is the reaction of Hardy's army now?"

"General, the horse's hooves that were stepping on the landmine were blown up and could no longer walk; the soldier who was thrown off just placed at the bottom of his right arm and had a fractured forearm. Farris He had sent someone to call a military doctor to treat the soldiers.

The Hardy Army reacted very much. All the soldiers stopped marching, and even the people and horses were restlessly spinning around in the spot. Several people walking in front of the injured horses were very panicked, but they did not dare to retreat or advance, and they controlled the horses in fear."

"I'll go to appease the Hardy army in person!" Hou Mead said immediately. He had guessed that there would be soldiers in Hardy's army intent to rebel. Today, he arranged this army to take the lead and clearly act as cannon fodder. It is normal for them to not continue to march. Only by personally comforting them.

"General!" But the guards shouted immediately.

"You don't have to worry too much." Houmaid said again: "I know what you are worried about, and I'm worried that there are Hardy soldiers to kill me.

But I was wearing armor and my movements were still agile. It was proved that it was not easy for the Hardy soldiers to kill me.

In addition, no matter what, Hardy's army is still focused on big food, or the people who go with the flow still account for the majority. If I don't come forward, these people who go with the flow may oppose our army under the instigation of those who want to rebel, causing the entire Thousand-man team to rebel, which will be a huge loss to our army.

So I have to go and comfort them.”

"General," the guards looked at each other a few times, trying to object, but they could not express a suitable objection, so they could only agree in the end.

"Let's go!" Seeing this, Hou Meide pulled the reins and rushed forward. The guards immediately followed.

Soon, Houmede and dozens of guards came behind Hardy's army. He pulled the reins to slow down the horses, then raised his head and looked forward. Sure enough, he saw that the Hardy's soldiers were all stopped in place, and someone was talking loudly, but he probably used a certain dialect in Chinese, which he couldn't understand.

"He Pu!" He looked in other directions again, glanced at He Pu, and immediately shouted loudly in Chinese.

"I have met General Saleh. General Saleh, why have you come here in person?" He Pu hurriedly came on a horse and said in big sacred words while saluting.

"I'll pacify the soldiers."

"Put the soldiers? General, you need to command the army. You can no longer worry about small things like pacifying the soldiers. You can do it yourself."

"No, I want to comfort myself. You can comfort me normally, but now I will be better at comfort myself." Houmede said, and had already entered the range of Hardy soldiers. Seeing this, He Pu could only breathe and wave his whip to follow.

As soon as he entered this area, Hou Meide felt the atmosphere was completely different, and many people looked at him with cold eyes. Hou Meide thought it was caused by his arrangement of them as the leader, so he didn't care too much, so he came to a place slightly higher than the surrounding area and said loudly:

"Generals and soldiers. I know that there is a minefield set up by the Qin army. One of you soldiers was also injured and was being treated by a doctor. I will reward this soldier for discovering this mine and avoid greater losses to our army.

I also know that many soldiers are not satisfied with my arrangement of the Hardy Army as the leader, and think it is discrimination against the Hardy Army. I hereby guarantee that the arrangement of the Hardy Army as the leader is definitely not discrimination, but because you are more familiar with the Qin army. If the Qin army wants to do anything, you can react faster and have an advantage over other thousand-man teams.

And I promise again that you will be rewarded when you take the lead. You will receive more rewards than other armies, and at least double the rewards of money, and it will be easier to get promoted.

Next, you will continue to take the lead and pass through this minefield, but you will not be injured again. You can use your horse to explore the way forward. The places you have been stepped on by the horse must be safe and you can march with confidence. Therefore, all the lost horses will be replenished after the end of this battle.

Some people may ask why we cannot bypass this minefield. Because no one knows how many mines the Qin army has buried, how long and width of this minefield is. If we must ensure absolute safety in this case, our army will travel ten times more than that of the Qin army, and we will never be able to catch up with them again.

Perhaps some people are wondering, since our army does not regard defeating Qin Na's army as a task that must be completed, and sending them across the Wuhu River, why must we chase them behind? This is because the commander of Qin Na's army, Liu Qi, is a very cunning figure, and he must not be willing to withdraw like this.

The purpose of burying landmines on the north side of the Bairam hills should be to get rid of our army's tracking, kill someone and shoot back to Mulu City, or go to other places where civilians are there, kill or plunder some civilians, and increase the results of the war. In order for civilians not to be robbed or killed, and for our future stable life, we can only pass through minefields and not detours.

In short, for the benefit of all of us, we can only get rid of the Hardy Army and continue to break the minefields first." Houmede said at last, and saluted everyone.

‘After hearing this, especially when I said it specifically in Qin’s words, they should continue to march even if they still have resentment in their hearts, right?’ he thought to himself.

"I have a problem, General." A voice suddenly sounded. Because when Houmede's speech was just now, all the soldiers of Hardy were silent, and the sound seemed very abrupt.

"You said." Houmeide ignored He Pu's wink and said.

"General," the man came out of the crowd on his horse, approached Houmede a few steps, and asked, "What about us?"
Chapter completed!
