"It's coming! It's coming! It's finally here!"
Horiyah led several scouts and ran closer from a distance, with a look of excitement on her face.
Li Jiangyao raised his eyes and looked at the sun. It had been nearly a day since they arrived here. The army from Loulan Sakyi City finally arrived here as he expected.
The small town of Sedan, one of the Twelve Army Towns, was shamefully attacked by the "Chechi Army". The Loulan soldiers and horses stationed in the city and the Turkic cavalry passing there suffered heavy losses and suffered a big loss. Of course, the Loulan people would never let it go like this. Give up and give up.
After hearing the news, the general of Sakyi City immediately ordered all 6,000 elite soldiers under his command, followed the escaped guard Su Kun, and attacked Sedan with great force, preparing to give Chechi a deep lesson so that they could learn from it. How to be a human being.
"Old Xu, you must not be late." Li Jiangyao thought silently in his heart, his eyes already focused on the dust and smoke rising on the distant horizon.
Horiyah came to him and asked for instructions on the next step.
"According to my estimation, the guests that Xu Youchang went to invite are almost here," Li Jiangyao said confidently: "Next, let us serve some appetizers to the Loulan VIPs here to arouse their appetite. Then I can let go and eat to my heart’s content! What do you think?”
Hearing this, Holia clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Okay! I will obey the general's order!" After saying that, she ran up and down to greet her men, preparing to meet the invading enemy.
Li Jiangyao looked at Princess Nanhua who was excited when talking about fighting, and smiled helplessly. Then he turned around and ordered the soldiers next to him to send out a few more people to search in the west direction in order to reach Xu Youchang in advance. of troops.
Almost at the same time, Loulan's soldiers and horses who went to take revenge had arrived only four or five miles away. Loulan General Nilu, who was in charge of leading the team, rode his horse and ran at the front of the entire team, while Sedan Guard Su Kun was one horse behind him, following closely.
"General! Stop for a second!"
When Niru heard Su Kun calling him from behind, he reluctantly reined in the reins and asked the horse to slow down. At the same time, he turned around and asked, "What's the matter? What's the matter?"
Su Kun also slowed down his horse speed, leaned next to Nilu, and said in a deep voice: "Sir, this place is not far from Sedan City. There is a hilly area ahead, and the terrain is very responsible. Do you want to send a detective horse to check it out first? , so as to clear the way for the army."
"That's not necessary!" Niru thought that Su Kun was going to say something important. The reason for the quarrel for a long time was just this, so he couldn't help scolding him arrogantly: "Are you teaching this general how to fight?"
Su Kun was secretly surprised and quickly explained: "No, no, no, the general has misunderstood. I definitely don't mean to be humble. It's just that those Che Chijun yesterday were really powerful. I'm afraid... it's better for us to be more cautious. "
Nilu snorted coldly: "The little Che Chiguo can't even catch my eye. I said Su Kun, you are really becoming more and more useless. It was just a sneak attack by the Chechi people. We have to be afraid of hands and feet. You have to know that we are the elite of Western Xinjiang trained by His Highness Alekjiang. Looking at it, who of the other thirty-five countries can be our opponent? If we encounter the remnants of the Shengtang Army, be careful Some of them are quite reasonable, but other than that, nothing else!"
After saying this, Nilu whipped his horse whip twice and continued to run wildly. Upon seeing this, the Loulan Army behind him quickly followed the general without saying a word and flew away. Su Kun frowned in disgust and cursed silently before reluctantly urging his horse to chase after the team.
Loulan's army, consisting of six thousand infantry and cavalry, entered the small valley formed by roads in the hilly area in a blink of an eye.
Under the leadership of Niru, they had just walked forward for a short time when there was a sudden explosion, and a firework rocket soared into the sky from behind the nearby hill, flew into the air and exploded into a large group of bright and gorgeous fireworks. The setting sun is about to set.
Nilu and Sukun were both startled by the movement. They were so shocked that they hurriedly stopped. At the same time, they drew their swords out of their sheaths and were on full alert.
At this moment, a large number of soldiers suddenly appeared on the top of the hills on both sides of the road, shouting in Chechi language: "Loulan dog thieves! Go to hell!"
The next second, dense arrows fell from the sky, hitting the unprepared and unshielded Loulan Army.
"Damn it! The enemy has an ambush!" Niru suddenly became furious. While blocking the flying arrows with his scimitar, he shouted sternly: "The first group! Go to the left, the second group will outflank from the right, and the rest will Everyone follow me and charge forward!"
The army he led was worthy of being the elite division under Loulan King Alike Jiang. Faced with the sudden ambush, he only panicked for a moment, but quickly regained his composure. Following the instructions of General Niru, he quickly locked his attack direction, and then rushed up the hill desperately.
Holia led the Metasequoia soldiers disguised as Che Chijun and quickly fired several rounds of arrows, causing considerable casualties to the Loulan people. However, they do not intend to fight here. Seeing the Loulan soldiers rushing over like crazy, they quickly stepped on them and quickly moved in other directions.
The Loulan people suffered a secret loss, and they gnashed their teeth with hatred for the Che Chijun in front of them. They were not willing to let go of Horiyah and the others easily, and they also launched a fierce pursuit, chasing after them desperately.
Unexpectedly, not far after chasing them, another group of ambush soldiers appeared on a nearby hill. They shot indiscriminately and knocked down dozens of Loulan soldiers again. Immediately afterwards, the ambush soldiers, like the previous ones, jumped on their horses and ran all the way, running away in the blink of an eye.
"Keep chasing them! Kill them!" Niru who was behind was furious, waving his scimitar and jumping up and down. The Loulan army roared repeatedly and vowed to catch up with the enemy in front. However, the tragedy happened again. An ambush appeared on another hill and fired wildly at the Loulan soldiers and horses running in front, also destroying dozens of them.
In this way, Holia and the others set up ambushes in groups. The further they ran, the more they killed. On the other hand, the Loulan people behind them not only lost their troops in pursuit, but also were gradually pulled away from each other.
When the team involved in the ambush ran to the edge of the hilly area, Li Jiangyao was sitting on his horse, waiting for them anxiously.
As soon as he saw Holia's figure, he shouted loudly: "Hurry, hurry, hurry! Xu Youchang and the others are less than five miles away from here. Come with me quickly! Hurry!"
As Li Jiangyao said, at this time Xu Youchang and his former army soldiers had also led the angry Che Chi army to the hilly area. In less than a day, they were also walking and stopping on the road, fighting as they went, using flexible cavalry tactics to keep the enemy three or four miles away from them, so that they could see each other clearly with the naked eye, until Got here without incident.
When Li Jiangyao and Xu Youchang successfully reunited, the sky was completely dark. The vast and lifeless ghost desert of Gobi looked particularly chilling in the darkness, and even the blowing night wind had a shuddering chill.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves could be heard from both directions to the left and right of Li Jiangyao and the others, and the dense light of torches seemed to be like two surging rivers, sweeping towards them.
"Brothers, all the guests we invited are here," Li Jiangyao said with a loud laugh: "I announce that the dinner party has officially begun! Come on, let's go to the theater!"
Everyone cheered excitedly, then followed him, whipped their horses, and galloped into the Populus euphratica forest not far away, hiding themselves.
-
When Li Jiangyao and the others dismounted from their horses in the forest and had just hid themselves, the two armies outside happened to arrive one after the other and arrived here in a tacit understanding.
Che Chi's soldiers and horses, who had been chasing Xu Youchang all day long, were already feeling exhausted. When they suddenly saw the light of torches all over the mountains and plains ahead, they couldn't help but be shocked and suspicious.
They never expected that there would be an enemy army ambushed in this place. Obviously, the other party first attacked the patrol team and then lured them to chase them here. It was completely a conspiracy trap set against Che Chiguo. Wanting to understand this, Chechi's army quickly stopped and quickly took up a posture on the spot, ready to stand ready.
The Loulan army, which arrived at the same time, was first furious because it suffered a sneak attack and lost the city of Sedan; then it was ambushed continuously in the hilly areas, allowing the opponent to fool around like fools for a long time, not to mention a large number of casualties. This feeling of suffocation is enough to make them lose all reason.
General Nilu, who had been holding back his evil fire for a long time, suddenly saw the troops and horses of Che Chi arrayed in front of him. It was really an enemy meeting with jealousy.
"You bastard, you finally stopped running?" Nilu pointed the knife forward and yelled angrily at the throat: "Brothers, those Chechi bastards are right in front, you don't have to save face for me, just fuck them to death. !”
"Kill them!" Loulan soldiers shouted in unison.
Loulan Kingdom has the strongest national power among the entire Western Xinjiang Alliance. The Loulan army is also the largest and most powerful armed force in the Western Xinjiang Alliance. In addition, Loulan King Alekjiang holds the position of alliance leader and never takes other allies seriously, so Loulan soldiers have always been arrogant. They are the only ones bullying others, so how can others bully them in their turn.
It can be said that apart from the Turks, they don't need to give face to anyone.
At this time, hearing the general's order to let go and attack, the soldiers of Loulan roared and launched a fierce attack on Che Chi's army on the opposite side without hesitation.
Since Loulan didn't say anything and directly assumed a charging stance, Che Chi's army was no longer polite. The suppressed anger in Che Chi's heart burst out instantly, and he also rushed towards the opponent.
In an instant, the desolate ghost desert was covered by people shouting and hissing. Countless swords, guns and arrows were flying around in the flashing torches. The largest internal strife since the establishment of the Western Xinjiang Rebel Alliance finally ended. Under Li Jiangyao's instigation, a full-scale outbreak broke out.
