Not long after Li Jiangyao and the others broke into the south camp, Duolun, the leader of the Turkic Iron Pigeon Army, climbed onto the tall watchtower next to the commander's tent and looked at the situation in the distance.
What he never expected was that the Shengtang armored cavalry moved so fast and so courageously. With only a few hundred people, they directly charged into the camp where tens of thousands of soldiers were stationed. And it was rushing all the way, as if entering a deserted place.
What's even more exaggerated is that after the sneak attack was successful, the opponent not only failed to evacuate safely along the original route, but also continued to attack the main Turkic camp to the east.
Don’t you really want to live?
Duolun was completely dismissive of the soldiers and horses with obvious suicidal tendencies at first. Although the South Camp had fallen into chaos, he believed that it was just a symptom. After effective rectification, Padikun's troops could soon regain their composure.
The Shengtang people who came for a sneak attack would eventually be intercepted by his elite troops and wiped out in the blink of an eye.
But it is a pity that Doron obviously oversimplified the problem.
At this time, the two large camps in the southeast of Turks were already in panic. The intercepting troops from all walks of life were led by Li Jiangyao and ran around the camp. The interception instructions given by Duolun are often delayed for a few beats before being sent to the forefront. As for whether they can be executed, they have to leave it to fate.
Therefore, he stood on the watchtower and watched helplessly several times in succession. Li Jiangyao and the others were about to be blocked by the army, but at the last moment they easily bypassed all the obstacles and continued to rush into the next tent.
Duolun was so angry that he jumped on the spot and scolded his subordinates for being stupid. However, he did not lose his mind.
After careful observation, Duolun discovered that although the Shengtang people had been clashing left and right, seemingly improvising without any rules, on the whole, they were always moving north quickly along the Dongying passage. .
Duolun thought about it for a moment, couldn't help but feel secretly alarmed, and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly inform Geerhan and ask him to immediately form an array at the junction between the two military camps in the northeast. The target of the Shengtang people is him!"
The messenger hurriedly blew the horn after hearing the order, and the flag bearer next to him also waved flags in the direction of the horse bandit camp. In addition, two fast horses quickly left the commander's tent and galloped towards the Ghost Alliance camp.
Not long after, a large number of ghost alliance horse bandits emerged from the place where Dongying and Beiying were connected. It looked like there were five to six thousand people from a distance, and they were getting ready.
Duolun looked in his eyes and finally let out a sigh of relief: Thank God, in this way, the Shengtang elite who attacked could not escape.
But just when Duolun felt at ease, unexpected changes occurred behind the Ghost Alliance camp in the north.
On a snowy hill not far from the back of the camp, dozens of lines of fire suddenly flew into the air, falling squarely into the formation of the horse bandits.
It turned out that this was a poisonous fireworks device launched by Du Jian and his friends at a critical moment, who had been ordered to hide outside.
Following Li Jiangyao's instructions, this survey team has been lying in ambush here, specifically waiting for the armored cavalry to leave the city to sneak attack on the enemy camp, so as to attack the opponent from both front and back.
However, they did not expect that the horse bandits reacted very quickly under Duolun's reminder, and in the blink of an eye they formed a formation in the area between Beiying and Dongying. Seeing that the situation had changed, Du Jian made a prompt decision and moved all the firearms originally planned to be fired into the camp here to greet the enemy.
All kinds of firearms suddenly fell into the position, and they suddenly crackled and exploded. Duolun looked over from the watchtower and saw a burst of flames rising into the sky, followed by a thick fog of terrifying yellow smoke, filling the crowd of horse bandits, which was shocking.
This was true for him as a bystander, let alone the horse bandit who was in the smoke. The panicked people coughed repeatedly, covered their mouths and noses and fled in all directions. Many people couldn't help shouting: "The Shengtang reinforcements are coming! The Shengtang reinforcements are coming!"
"It's broken!" Duolun clenched the railing with both hands and shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, the armored cavalry led by Li Jiangyao rushed through the last tent area like divine soldiers descending from the sky and went straight into the formation of the horse bandits.
Duolun closed his eyes subconsciously, unable to bear to look at the tragic scene behind him.
The interception battle instantly turned into a massacre. Although there were only four hundred Pegasus scouts, and they were all exhausted at this time, each of them was like a demon with red eyes, and there was no power that could stop them from rushing forward.
The Ghost Alliance horse bandits, who were confused by the poisonous fireworks and firearms, were even more unbearable than the Turkic soldiers who were attacked before. They allowed the Pegasus scouts to kill as much as they wanted, but they were unable to fight back.
Li Jiangyao used his spear to drive away an oncoming horse bandit, and then swung out his spear and hit a war horse in the distance. The war horse was shot in pain and immediately fell to its knees and rolled over. At the same time, it threw the horse bandit riding on it several feet and died on the spot.
Throwing the spear away, Li Jiangyao drew out the Xingluo Knife from his back and turned to look at the team following him: "Following! Follow me!"
After saying that, he jerked the reins and passed diagonally through the chaotic formation of horse bandits, heading straight for the north gate of Metasequoia City.
Lin Feng had been waiting at the top of the city here. When he saw this, he quickly ordered the iron bars to be pulled up and the north city gate to be opened. At the same time, he commanded the defenders on the city to bend their bows and set arrows, ready to provide cover for Li Jiangyao and the others at any time to block the pursuit of Turks behind them. soldiers.
Seeing Li Jiangyao and others fleeing into Metasequoia City in a hurry, while the defenders on top of the city were in a prepared posture, the Turks who were chasing after them couldn't help but stop and scream.
At this moment, from the Turkic camp outside the south gate of Metasequoia, to the general camp at the east city gate, to the horse bandit camp in the north of the city, most of the coalition garrison was covered with corpses and a mess.
-
Just as Li Jiangyao led his troops from the south to the north of the city, advancing furiously all the way, on a hillside east of Metasequoia City, there were a few pairs of eyes paying close attention to the fierce battle.
They are Shen Lie and others who stayed here before.
Shen Lie, Lao Jianhua, and four Pegasus scouts, the six of them also stayed up all night last night. From their location, they could not see Li Jiangyao breaking into the enemy camp from the north alone overnight. However, in the subsequent series of exciting performances, Li Jiangyao mainly performed them for Duolun, the general in the east, so Shen Lie and others also had a feast for their eyes.
First there were bright fireworks, then the sound of giant drums, and finally the lights on the city head went out.
Every time there is an unexpected and strange change at the top of Metasequoia City, the allied forces outside the city will move in full force, as if facing a formidable enemy. Lao Jianhua looked at him and sighed in his heart: Duolun, Duolun, you really pretend to be a wise general of the Turks. Yeah, all the actions taken by the opponent are clearly bluffing and confusing their opponents, which also just shows that they are lacking in strength and have other plans.
You can either remain unmoved and let your men sleep peacefully and recharge their batteries; or you can muster up the courage to fight directly and use your strength to bully Metasequoia.
But if you choose to be led by others, you may suffer a big loss later.
Lao Jianhua silently stared at Metasequoia City, while Shen Lie silently stared at Lao Jianhua. Suddenly he sneered and said: "The truly exciting drama is about to begin."
Lao Jianhua was shocked when he heard this and said nothing, but he knew it in his heart, and Shen Lie also saw the clues.
A scout warrior asked curiously: "What big show are you talking about?"
"The brothers guarding the city have been tormenting the Turks all night, which is just a little preparation," Shen Lie said with a slight smile: "If there is no big drama later on, wouldn't all the previous work be in vain? Waiting. Look, the good show of dealing with the enemy is coming soon."
Another scout couldn't believe it: "No way, it's almost dawn now. Is it possible that we can attack the enemy camp?"
Shen Lie responded calmly: "If it were me, I definitely wouldn't dare to take this risk, and I wouldn't be sure of winning, but...if your captain has returned successfully, maybe I really can't say for sure."
While he was talking, the big drama that Shen Lie had guessed really started to take place.
In less than an hour, the six of them watched helplessly as a Shengtang cavalry group of about four to five hundred people rushed out from the south gate of Metasequoia, without hesitation, went straight into the Turkic camp, and then charged left and right. It's like entering a deserted place.
From the south to the east, and then from the east to the north, Pegasus scouts wearing black armor and white cloaks on their backs fought their way through. Everywhere was a terrifying scene of howling ghosts, howling wolves, and blood.
It wasn't until the entire army circled to the north of the city and the sight of the six people was blocked by the city wall that they finally recovered.
Although they could not see the last situation of the armored cavalry, judging from the loud cheers that broke out in the city, the warriors who broke into the camp should have returned to Metasequoia smoothly.
In the blink of an eye, I looked at the coalition camp and saw a miserable scene.
"Madman! Only a madman can do such a thing." Lao Jianhua couldn't help but muttered as he stared at the messy battlefield.
He really never expected that a small-scale surprise attack could produce such an exaggerated effect.
Lao Jianhua still had a good idea of the true strength of the Turkic Iron Pigeon Legion.
To be fair, Duolun's troops are indeed not the ace force of the Golden Tribe, but their individual soldier quality and combat capabilities are still higher than the general level of the Shengtang army.
As for the ghost alliance horse bandits, although they are all rogue bandits, their ferocity and cruelty are among the best among the armies of the thirty-six countries in Western Xinjiang.
However, the cruel reality is so funny. A combined army of 40,000 capable of fighting was actually attacked by a mere 400 people in broad daylight.
And he was beaten into such a bear shape!
"Hahaha, so happy! I, Shengtang, have become a famous general again!" Shen Lie laughed happily: "How about it, old thief? I'm afraid your wishful thinking will never work again this time, right?"
Lao Jianhua snorted coldly when he heard this, suddenly shook his arms, and broke free from the rope of beef tendon that he had secretly cut off with a knife.
As soon as the war situation became critical, he had to rush to Duolun immediately to help make plans. Secondly, if you delay it any longer, your identity will be exposed, and your life will be even more difficult to protect.
Seeing that he was suddenly freed from his restraints, the scout soldiers quickly unsheathed their swords and pounced on Lao Jianhua.
Shen Lie shouted loudly: "Untie me quickly, you can't beat him!"
While he was talking, the two soldiers at the front were already fighting with Lao Jianhua.
Although he was injured, Lao Jianhua's martial arts was at the master level after all. How could ordinary soldiers control him? In the blink of an eye, a soldier was kicked in the chest by him and fell to the ground, spurting blood.
The remaining two scouts saw their comrades being brutally murdered, and they immediately became furious. At the same time, they drew out their long swords and tried to step forward to fight.
Shen Lie was so anxious that he jumped up on the spot, stopped them both, and shouted angrily again: "Let me go!"
The scout warrior was taken by his momentum. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately realized what he was doing and quickly swung his knife to cut the beef tendon rope.
Lao Jianhua felt bad when he saw this. He knew that once Shen Lie regained his freedom, it would be enough to keep him here without the help of the other three scouts, so he made a feint and punched the warriors fighting him, taking advantage of Shen Lie. Lie was not completely free yet and ran towards the Turkic camp without looking back.
