Two equally tough and skilled armies, two commanders equally fond of tricks, walked toward each other in the vast darkness, getting closer and closer.
It wasn't until the pioneers of both sides collided that they suddenly realized: Oh my God!
I went to sneak attack on the enemy in the middle of the night. I didn't feel very at ease at first. Suddenly I encountered a large group of people coming out of the opposite side in the dark. The vanguard troops on both sides thought at the same time: Damn it, they are ambushed!
Like two wild cats with exploded fur, the soldiers and horses from both sides immediately fought together without saying a word, fighting and barking wildly to alert their main forces.
Immediately afterwards, the commanders on both sides were shocked at the same time.
Li Jiangyao and Yun Qianxue realized that the situation was not good, and immediately issued almost identical orders: the entire army quickly deployed on the spot, occupied the surrounding favorable terrain, and launched an attack on the opponent to disrupt them!
Without the help of any lighting conditions, the large groups of soldiers and horses of the Zhenjiang Army and the Turkic Army directly touched the darkness and started similar combat actions at the same time.
The advantage of Zhenjiang is that they are familiar with the topography here, and the Turkic Blood Guards are good at night fighting. The soldiers on both sides soon formed a group in the east and west, fighting in a melee.
Suddenly, the wide area between Metasequoia City and the Turkic Camp was completely plunged into inexplicable chaos!
"Alas, alas, stop fighting, we are one of our own!"
"We thought it was a Turkic ghost, sorry... hurry up, over there, there's a fight over there!"
"Umrunch, Kasni?"
"Mom, what's Kasni? He's a Turk, fuck him!"
"Gasluo! Gasulu! Tang Manzi is here, kill them all!"
Thousands of troops and horses are rushing around in the darkness, and it is impossible to tell the difference between east, west and north. As long as there are people, they will run over and give them a hard beating.
Li Jiangyao was the first to react from the chaotic situation: This is not an ambush, this is a fucking encounter! The sneak attack was not discovered by the Turks, it was just that the two sides happened to bump into each other!
At this moment, he could no longer find Xu Youchang and Du Jian, so he had no choice but to order the guard captain Lu Yao: "Hurry up and let the brothers shout. Our soldiers and horses will follow me and follow my torch!"
After that, he pulled out the torch he was going to use to burn the camp, struck the fire and sickle, ignited the oil cloth, then raised it high above his head and ran towards the Turkic camp in the distance.
Lu Yao led the guards to surround him tightly, while also lighting up torches and shouting at the top of his lungs to gather.
Although lighting a torch in the dark makes you an easy target for enemy attacks, it has now become a melee. Which side can successfully gather together first, and which side can form an organized joint force to regain the initiative.
Li Jiangyao's method of taking risks to gather troops was indeed very effective. Following the greetings, more and more Zhenjiang Army soldiers quickly gathered around Li Jiangyao and ran towards the enemy camp.
At this moment, Yun Qianxue, who was not far away, had also reacted and noticed something strange about the melee. He also had the idea of gathering troops, but before he could give the order, he suddenly noticed a torch passing by in front of him and floating rapidly in the direction behind him.
Yun Qianxue was shocked: The other party is going to rob the camp? !
He suddenly felt a little hard to understand: Both sides had encountered an unexpected encounter and a melee broke out. Why did Li Jiangyao and the others insist on attacking the Turkic camp? To be honest, there is nothing of strategic value in the camp at this time that needs to be guarded deliberately. In addition to a series of military tents and some food and baggage, there were only more than a thousand soldiers left behind.
Therefore, even if the Zhenjiang Army succeeds, it will not affect the overall situation of the battle.
But thinking about it in reverse, Yun Qianxue suddenly understood.
The location of the camp is an unshakable symbol of military morale. For soldiers, honor and morale are often more important than life. For example, many times, the military flags on the battlefield have similar symbolic meanings. If you can plant the military flag on the enemy's position or snatch the opponent's military flag, it will be worth it even if you pay a huge price.
Therefore, there are often scenes like this on the battlefield: for a broken flag, the two warring parties fight for it and fight repeatedly. Sometimes a soldier is hit by several arrows, but he still has to press his body against the flagpole and never let it go. The battle flag fell.
Scenes like this usually arouse the fighting spirit of countless passionate men and even change the direction of the battle in an instant.
On the contrary, if one party's military flag is captured or a general is killed, the morale of the entire army may collapse immediately, resulting in an irreversible bad situation.
Compared with the military flag, the camp is of course more critical. If the camp is captured or destroyed by the enemy, it will be a great shame for the Turkic Blood Guard! It was precisely because of this that Li Jiangyao became so frantic, risking his retreat to gain the upper hand in morale!
As a battle-hardened general, how could Yun Qianxue give the other party such an opportunity in vain?
I don't care about cutting off the retreat at the moment. I'll catch up to the front and stop the Zhenjiang Army first! No matter what, they must not be allowed to destroy their camp!
Yun Qianxue shouted angrily, led all the soldiers around him to gallop on horseback, and rushed towards the torch while staring closely at it.
People on both sides were constantly speeding up, running faster and faster. The Turks had superb riding skills, and in a moment they blocked Li Jiangyao's path diagonally.
Yun Qianxue's sharp eyes spotted Li Jiangyao's figure first, and she secretly cheered in her heart! At the same time, his legs exerted force to squeeze the horse's belly, and in an instant he accelerated closer and stabbed the opponent fiercely.
Li Jiangyao also reacted very quickly. He swung his body lightly, dodged the spear in time, and took advantage of the opportunity when the two horses were approaching to slash out with his backhand.
Yun Qianxue quickly changed her moves and raised her spear horizontally. There was a crisp sound of "dang" as the swords and spears collided together, shaking both of them's arms to the point of numbness.
Li Jiangyao studied under the tutelage of the great commander He Jingming, while Yun Qianxue was the proud disciple of the Turkic Martial Saint Biro. Their martial arts skills were almost equal and indistinguishable.
The two of them fought hard and reined in their horses at the same time. Li Jiangyao held the Xingluo Dao tightly, jumped up from the saddle, and rushed towards the opponent in the air. Seeing this, Yun Qianxue did not dare to be careless, and also flew off the horse, raising a gun to meet him.
The sound of weapons clashing sounded repeatedly. Li Jiangyao used his Instant Eyes and used the Xingluo Knife faster and faster, slashing out more than a dozen knives in the air. Unexpectedly, Yun Qianxue did not fall behind at all. The Fire Cloud Spear in his hand was full of energy and struck the star. The falling knife's attack was completely blocked.
In the blink of an eye, the two fell back to the ground. As soon as Li Jiangyao's feet touched the ground, he immediately ducked close to Yun Qianxue, and his every move was a desperate move. The Fire Cloud Spear used by Yun Qianxue was forged from high-grade iron. It was one foot three inches long and weighed sixty-eight pounds. It was a sharp weapon for cavalry on the battlefield. However, at this time, he and Li Jiangyao were having a fierce battle on the ground. Heavy weapons like the Fire Cloud Gun suddenly seemed very clumsy and could not be compared with the Xingluo Knife, which was good at close combat.
Yun Qianxue was unable to do anything, and was soon suppressed and beaten by Li Jiangyao. In addition, the Xingluo Sword technique was extremely fast and the angle was very tricky. Yun Qianxue couldn't help but hesitated and retreated continuously.
Despite this, Yun Qianxue was not anxious. He knew that although Li Jiangyao was highly skilled in martial arts, he was not much stronger than him. He just had the advantage of weapons and suppressed him in every aspect.
So, Yun Qianxue feinted, quickly took a few steps back, and then swung the spear at Li Jiangyao. Taking advantage of the opponent's opportunity to block the flying spear, he raised his toes and grabbed a scimitar on the ground in his hand.
Li Jiangyao swung his knife to knock the fire cloud gun flying toward him. In a blink of an eye, he saw Yun Qianxue already holding the knife in his hand, and he couldn't help but secretly praise the other party for his simplicity. The long spear had a simple shape and tough texture. It must have been a magical weapon that Yun Qianxue was accustomed to using. At this time, he threw it away and replaced it with an ordinary weapon that was convenient for close combat without any hesitation.
At least, he, Li Jiangyao, couldn't do this and could throw away the Xingluo Knife casually.
Yun Qianxue, who had changed her weapon, changed her previous disadvantage, took the initiative to attack with her sword, and started a confrontation with Li Jiangyao. Not only is he good at using guns, he is also extremely skilled in using swords. Especially this Turkic scimitar, which is very different from the long swords and ring-headed knives of the Shengtang army. Many unimaginable angles and forces are difficult for the scimitar. It can be done easily, but the knife skills are even more tricky.
Li Jiang was fast and Yun Qianxue was clever. The two fought for more than forty rounds in succession, and it was hard to decide the winner. Li Jiangyao thought while fighting: After all, fighting all the time is not an option. If this continues, once the Turkic Blood Guards form a combined force, it will be difficult to shake them.
Thinking of this, he held Yun Qianxue Linglie's sword several times, and then deliberately tripped over the corpse next to him, revealing a flaw in his stagger. Yun Qianxue saw the opportunity and quickly jumped up to get to Li Jiangyao's vital point.
Unexpectedly, Li Jiangyao was trying to trick him into coming forward. Taking advantage of the opponent's ultimate move and having no time left to defend, Li Jiangyao gathered all his strength and swung out the Xingluo Knife.
Horses leap across the Milky Way, meteors fly across.
Li Jiangyao plays fast, just to gamble with Yun Qianxuehao on speed to see who can hit the opponent first.
Suddenly, Yun Qianxue felt a dazzling light flash in front of her eyes, and it was too late to change her tactics. Although Li Jiangyao took action one step later than him, he arrived first and it was terrifyingly fast! Yun Qianxue's forehead felt cold, and she was suddenly shocked. She quickly leaned back and narrowly avoided the fate of being craniotomy.
Even so, he still suffered serious injuries. From the corner of his forehead above his right eyebrow to his left cheek, the blade of the Xingluo knife made a large gash at an angle, almost destroying his eye.
Yun Qianxue let out a heartbreaking roar of pain, her face covered in blood, and she kept retreating. Li Jiangyao wanted to catch up and kill him, but unfortunately, several Turkic blood guards around him rushed over and tried their best to protect Yun Qianxue.
Although Li Jiangyao was a little reluctant, his internal energy was greatly depleted at this time, and he was unable to continue chasing the opponent, so he had to call the surrounding men to retreat temporarily with him.
