The Hunted Hunter

Chapters 110. Battle (III)

The entourage of general Fan Gui was heading to the position of the battlefield that had been agreed by him and Ma Guang.

After arriving at the agreed place, general Fan Gui did not find Ma Guang's troops.

But after a while later, someone immediately came to face general Fan Gui.

That person was one of the Ma Guang soldiers.

The soldier immediately reported what had happened and where the position of Ma Guang and his troops were.

After hearing what the Ma Guang soldiers said, the general Fan Gui and his troops immediately moved towards the enemy camp that had been controlled by the Qi royal forces.

General Fan Gui and his troops had now arrived at the place where Ma Guang was. The man went to Ma Guang.

"General Ma! Congratulations on the success!". General Fan Gui.

"General Fan! Turns out you've arrived.thank you for your congratulations!". Ma Guang said as he saluted Fan Gui.

"General Fan! Are we able to continue our journey to the city of Pingcheng?". Ask Ma Guang.

"If that's what General Ma wants, I'm with my army ready to continue on". Fan Gui Speech.

"All right! Then let's continue our journey". Ma Guang said as he walked towards where his troops were.

Their troops again moved westward and began combing the territory controlled by the Lai royal forces.

As usual, Ma Guang ordered several groups of his soldiers to check the safety of the road they were about to cross.

Not long after, a soldier sent to check the security in front of their troop group faced Ma Guang and reported that a small group of enemy troops was moving from the front towards them.

Ma Guang immediately ordered some of his soldiers to head off the small group of enemy troops.

Eventually a small-scale battle ensued.

The number of enemy troops is only equivalent to one company led by a company commander and three platoon commanders.

While the troops that Ma Guang sent, had the same number as well.

The battle now looks unbalanced, it is caused by the ability of the enemy forces weaker than the ability of Ma Guang troops.

The commander leading the force is now fighting one of the five commanders belonging to Ma Guang.

"Damn it! His ability to wield a sword is greater than mine". Murmured the commander of the enemy forces.

The man continued to launch his sword slash attacks towards the vital organs belonging to the commander of Ma Guang's forces.

But all of those attacks were easily broken by the commander of Ma Guang's forces.

Moments later, all the enemy soldiers immediately lost their lives along with the leader of their army.

"This battle is too easy to deal with. It turned out that it was not in vain the training given by General Ma". Murmured the commander.

They then took the mounts and equipment of the enemy troops for their use.

After the large entourage of Ma Guang's troops and Fan Gui's troops had arrived, they then continued their journey again.

If there were no obstacles, their troops would arrive in Pingcheng city for four days, but if their troops moved day and night, they would be able to reach the city, they could chase after the enemy troops that were going to the city of Pingcheng.

Ma Guang immediately brought an army of one thousand four hundred men on horseback in order to move quickly to block the enemy troops heading to Pingcheng city.

A thousand troops were taken from the troops owned by the general Fan Gui.

Ma Guang and the troops under him were now moving quickly to try to block the aid forces from the Lai kingdom.

They continued to drive the horses they rode so that they could quickly arrive at the road that would be passed by the enemy troops.

The average speed of the horses they ride while running is 35 kilo meters per hour.

Actually, the speed can still be increased, because indeed all the horses they ride are accustomed to being trained to run quickly in a few hours.

The distance they will travel in order to block the enemy forces is about 100 kilo meters, so it can be traveled within three hours.

If in the next three hours, the day is getting dark, so the enemy troops will also rest first and that is what Ma Guang will use with his troops.

The journey of the enemy forces was very slow, it was due to their combat equipment and supplies they were under. Their troops could not move quickly.

The speed of Ma Guang's horse race was immediately slowed down, so as not to attract the attention of people who were 3 kilo meters away.

Because if at night, the sound of the roar of the horse's legs with a large number, can be heard as far as a few kilos and their presence can be known by enemy troops.

Ma Guang's troops immediately rested five kilo meters away from the main road leading to the city of Pingcheng.

It was to restore the stamina of the soldiers as well as their mounts.

As for overseeing the movement of the enemy, Ma Guang had already entrusted it to the soldiers assigned to it.

Not long after, one of the soldiers came to report the position, strength and security of the enemy troops resting.

Hearing what was said by the soldiers who spied on the enemy troops, Ma Guang immediately invited one hundred of his best soldiers to perform their actions.

It was almost midnight by then, and if they were to head to where the enemy soldiers were resting, it would only take two hours to travel, so they still have time to break into the enemy tents and finish them off one by one without any commotion.

After arriving at the place they were heading to, they were finally able to see the enemy encampment that lay before their eyes.

Ma Guang immediately informed them how they would break into the enemy's encampment.

After his entire army understood what he meant, finally the entire army of archers immediately followed Ma Guang, Xia Jiao, along, Yuan Jiali and commander You Tao moved first to give way to the other troops.

The four people as well as the archer troops instantly chose every target they would finish off, and the main target was to finish off the soldiers on guard as well as the soldiers patrolling first.

After already taking a good position, finally the ground troops immediately jump their arrows each.

Fifty arrows shot towards the soldiers on guard, Ma Guang and three others immediately darted into the enemy camp.

Fifty soldiers who were on guard immediately fell to the ground when their chests had been pierced by arrows.

Ma Guang and the other three men immediately barged into the enemy tent.

Looking at the soldiers who were patrolling, the four of them instantly finished him off, after a while later, Ma Guang felt that there was something strange about their ambush.

"It's too easy in my opinion! Have we fallen into their trap?". Mumbles Ma Guang.

And sure enough, when their position has entered the camp of the enemy troops, the, arriving - arriving around them already seen so many flames that were at a distance of about three hundred meters from their position.

It was the weakest enemy arrow firing position at that time, so Ma Guang's group was in an area that was extremely disadvantageous to them.

Now Ma Guang, Xia Jiao, Yuan Jiali, commander You Tao as well as fifty of his soldiers, were already besieged by the enemy forces.
