The Three Kingdoms began with island farming

Chapter 649 The fisherman gets a profit
Three days later, the night was as dark as ink. Hubishkar III's 30,000 elite cavalrymen took advantage of the darkness and marched rapidly towards Singh's camp.

Hubishekhar III rode on a gorgeously decorated warhorse, his hands holding the scimitar slightly sweating. He was looking forward to the upcoming victory, but at the same time, a hint of uneasiness was spreading in his heart.

At this time, there were few lights on in Singh's camp, and the soldiers on patrol walked slowly, looking unprepared.

As the vanguard, Ashoka's eyes flashed with ecstasy when he saw this, and he whispered to the soldiers behind him: "Speed ​​up and kill them by surprise!"

However, when the Kushan army was less than a mile away from Singh's camp, suddenly, a sharp horn pierced the night sky, and then countless torches lit up instantly, illuminating the entire grassland like daylight.

Singh, wearing heavy armor and holding a spear, stood on the high slope in front of the camp, surrounded by 50,000 soldiers lined up in neat formations and ready for battle. On both sides, countless elite cavalrymen circled around the enemy's rear and surrounded them.

Looking at Hubiseka III whose expression suddenly changed, Singh's eyes were full of disdain: "Hubiseka III, you have fallen into the trap!"

The army was short of food and had just been ambushed by Cao Cao, so Singh was naturally extremely vigilant. He ordered the soldiers to adjust their work and rest schedules and take turns to rest.

They even did not hesitate to waste a large number of cavalry, constantly patrolling around day and night to monitor the enemy situation and guard against enemy sneak attacks.

Cao Cao naturally saw Singh's vigilance.

This defensive state is effective in the short term, but over time, the soldiers will become tired and their morale will decline.

This is the norm in war, it's just a matter of trade-offs and considerations. Unless the overall quality and military discipline are directly improved, there will be no choice but to choose between maintaining combat effectiveness and staying vigilant.

If Cao Cao and Hubishka III ignore this in the next few days, it will be a huge loss for Singh.

A lot of energy is wasted, and the soldiers will also have doubts and disgust about it, which will greatly affect the subsequent battles.

After all, it will become clear if you put yourself in their shoes. Normally, everyone trains and guards during the day, but now they have to work in shifts even at night. Even if they can take compensatory rest during the day, who can fully adapt and not complain?

Of course, for Singh, this is largely worth it.

Because these few days are too critical, if the enemy launches a surprise attack or there is any problem with the food and supplies, the army under his command will probably collapse without even fighting.

And if the enemy really chooses to launch a sneak attack, he will make a big profit, and the morale previously damaged will be immediately restored.

At this moment, Singh, no longer worried and anxious, regained his confidence and said with high spirits: "Kill!"

Following his order, tens of thousands of troops rushed towards Hubishekhar III's army like a tidal wave from the surrounding areas.

Hubishekhar III was horrified, but he managed to remain calm, waving his scimitar and shouting, "Don't panic! We are all elite cavalry! Follow this governor and charge! Charge!"

Ashoka took the lead and led the cavalry to charge towards Singh's army.

For a moment, the sounds of shouting, weapons clashing, and horses neighing intertwined together and resounded through the sky.

Although Hubishka III sent elite cavalry that were fast and capable of moving, Singh was well prepared and had the advantage in terms of military strength.

When the two sides were fighting fiercely, Singh gave an order and the archers on both wings fired thousands of arrows at the army of Hubishka III like locusts.

The elephant soldiers in the army also began to advance and rushed into the cavalry unit of Hubishka III.

Spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, chariot soldiers, archers and crossbowmen cooperate with each other to fully demonstrate the advantages of the fusion of Kushan troops.

Hubishka III's soldiers suffered heavy casualties and their formation became chaotic.

Ashoka, who led the charge, wielded his sword and tried his best to kill the approaching enemy soldiers. However, while dodging a stray arrow, he was accidentally stabbed in the abdomen by one of Singh's infantrymen and fell off his horse with a scream.

Hubishka III looked at the fallen Ashoka and was heartbroken, but he had no time to care about anything else.

At this time, his army was surrounded by Singh and the retreat route was cut off. Bharata rushed to Hubishka III anxiously and shouted: "Governor, break out quickly! It will be too late if you don't leave now!"

Hubishka III gritted his teeth and fought hard to break out with his personal guards.

However, Singh would not let him go easily, and soldiers kept surrounding him, ready to capture Hubishka III alive.

In the melee, Hubishka III's robe was stained with blood and he suffered many injuries.

Just when he thought he was going to die here, shouts and screams suddenly came from the Singh army camp in the distance, and fires were seen from time to time.

Hubishekhar III, who was feeling hopeless, suddenly had his eyes light up and shouted without hesitation: "Reinforcements are coming! The Han people are coming!"

Seeing that he was about to capture the elite cavalry in front of him, Singh's face suddenly changed, and his eyes were full of unwillingness: "How could this happen?"

The army of Hubishekhar III, which was on the verge of collapse, suddenly seemed to have a last gasp after hearing the news of the arrival of reinforcements. Their morale was boosted again and they continued to charge forward.

Behind the camp where Singh's army was stationed, Cao Cao had been secretly observing the battle situation. Seeing that Hubishkar III's army had been completely surrounded and Singh had also sent most of his troops forward, he smiled faintly.

"kill!"

Two dogs fight, play off.

Hubishka III had given them such a good opportunity to fight, and they would be letting the other party down if they did not make use of it.

Although in order to avoid causing Singer's attention by making too much noise, Cao Cao only brought 5,000 elite cavalry this time, but among them were the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Facing the unprepared Singh army, Cao Chun led the cavalry and galloped like black lightning, starting to slaughter indiscriminately.

Countless torches were thrown into tents, baggage carts and the most critical granary.

Under the horrified gazes of countless Singh soldiers, their already limited remaining food supplies were burned to ashes.

At this time, Singh's eyes were blazing with fire and he was filled with hatred in his heart.

He was just about to take down Hubishekhar III.

However, facing the consequences of losing the granary, he had to grit his teeth and said, "Withdraw! Fight against the Han army!"

Even though he knew that doing so would mean cutting off one's arm to save his life, he not only saved Hubishka III's life but also put himself in danger.

Even though he has a large number of soldiers, in the dark night, there are enemies everywhere. When morale is collapsed, having a large number of soldiers may not be a good thing.

Even if he led his army to fight back against Cao Cao's army, he would only be "seeking death."

Because the trap he set was only aimed at the army of Hubishekhar III in the front, and had no defense against the rear.

At this time, they rushed back to put out the fire. The army was scattered and had no formation at all. They were no match for the opponent.

If Hubishka III turned back and charged again, his army would be completely collapsed.

However, the army would not be able to survive if the food was burned, and the enemy would not let them go.

Now, he can only take a gamble.

Singh stared at the direction where Hubiseka III fled, feeling secretly resentful.
