The desert was shrouded in a deep night, the desert wind whimpered, and at about one o'clock in the morning, a fiery dragon finally appeared in the southwest direction, moving rapidly northward, and a faint night cry resounded on the nearby sand dunes.

Under the sand dunes, Xie Erjian, who was looking up at the sky boredly, jumped up like a spirit leopard, and Qi Jingtong next to him also stood up, calmly put on his helmet, pulled out the upside-down gun, and grinned: "The handsome man is like a god, and he really came to work." ”

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves was already faintly audible, Xie Erjian jumped on the horse's back and shouted: "All get on the horse, get ready to work!" ”

The soldiers of the Divine Machine Battalion, who had just stood like stone sculptures in the night wind, mounted their horses in unison, and the hammers of the flintlock pistols were pulled up, making a snapping sound in the still night, more depressing than the awe-inspiring desert wind.

Xie Erjian gestured to Qi Jingtong and said, "Old rules! ”

Qi Jingtong immediately nodded in understanding, pulled out the horse's head, and turned to the other end of the dune with half of the cavalry of the Shenji Battalion.

About half a burnt incense time, but hearing the rumbling of hooves, the fire dragon from far and near, Turpan general Turdi finally led 5,000 horsemen to the southwest of the dune, less than two miles away.

Half an hour ago, Turdi drank half a bag of wine under the Yumen Pass, and rode a horse for more than fifty miles, at this moment the wine was surging, only to feel hot and hot, so he opened his clothes, revealing his hairy chest, and let the cold wind blow at midnight, it was estimated that it was not cool enough, so he galloped all the way and threw the soldiers away a few meters.

Suddenly, a huge sand dune appeared in front of him, like a fierce beast lurking in the night, and Turdi felt a little uneasy for no reason, and subconsciously lifted the reins to reduce the speed of the horse.

Bang......

With a crisp gunshot, one of his own soldiers, who happened to pass past Turdi, snorted on the spot, fell from his horse, fell into the billowing quicksand, and blood gushed out of his neck.

Turdi was startled and hurriedly strained his mount, and the sound of a bean-like gun rang out, bang...... The bullets struck head-on like flying locusts, and the soldiers around Turdi were shot one after another and rolled off their horses, and the terrible screams resounded in the night sky.

Turdi was so frightened that he drew his scimitar and shouted like a heartbreak: "Enemy-attack! ”

Five thousand Turpan cavalry strangled their horses and looked around blankly, but at this time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded like thunder, and the two cavalry galloped out from both sides of the sand dunes like wolves in the night, killing the two wings of the Turpan cavalry, rolling up the wild sand.

Bang bang bang......

Before these two cavalry could be killed, the bullets were fired like a torrential rain, and the Turpan cavalry, who were caught off guard, immediately planted large areas in large areas, and the people shouted that the horses neighed, and the formation was in chaos.

"Aalto meets the left flank, Hamor meets the German right flank......!"

Turdi called out to his generals hoarsely, trying to mobilize the team to meet the attack, but unfortunately the team was already chaotic at this time, and the Turpan cavalry that had been attacked from both sides was difficult to organize effective resistance for a while.

Fortunately, the gunfire only lasted for a moment before it stopped, and Turdi was surprised and delighted, and was about to take advantage of the opportunity to fight back, but he soon realized to his horror that the real nightmare had just begun......

It turned out that after a round of shooting, the Shenji battalion had already rushed to the front, and as soon as the flintlock pistol was hung, another round of grenades went to Turpan to greet the cavalry.

Jingle ......

Hundreds of grenades fell into the enemy line with white smoke, and then a violent explosion occurred, causing people to turn on their backs, their intestines and stomachs, and countless casualties.

At this time, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion had already drawn their dignified waist knives in unison, and they rushed into the enemy formation like an acceleration, and then launched a bloody slash.

But seeing Qi Jingtong on the left flank, a big gun was like a dragon, leading 3,000 Shenji battalion soldiers to rush and kill, like a bamboo; Looking at Xie Erjian on the right wing, a waist knife is like a match, like a leisurely stroll, killing the head rolling.

The Shenji Battalion is the ace elite of the Ming Army, both in terms of equipment and individual combat power are far above this Turpan cavalry, plus the superiority in numbers, or a sudden attack, so the result is no suspense.

In about an hour, the battle was over, the 5,000 Turpan cavalry was almost completely annihilated, and in the end only about 300 people escaped, more than 500 people, including the general Turdi, were captured, and the rest were killed, while the Shenji battalion suffered no more than 500 casualties, and no more than 100 people were killed.

……

The night still covered the land, the desert wind still whimpered, but the air was filled with a strong smell of blood and gunpowder.

At this time, the bloodied Turdi was escorted to Xie Erjian and Qi Jingtong, the mind of this product was still open, but the wine was gone, and he knelt on his knees with a dejected face, and even the two mustaches that were bent up were pulled downward, stained by blood on his lips.

"Deputy General Xie, General Qi, I asked just now, this person's name is Turdi, he is the general of this Tufan cavalry, and he was ordered by the Turpan general Hu Li Na'er to go to Guazhou overnight to help." The interpreter in the army reported respectfully.

Xie Erjian just glanced at Turdi casually and lost interest, and said lightly: "Take off your clothes and shave off your beard!" ”

The two soldiers immediately stepped forward to hold Tuerdi down, first took off his clothes, and then shaved his two crooked beards.

Qi Jingtong glanced at Turdi, who had shaved off his beard, and grinned: "His grandmother's, this guy has shaved his beard, and Lao Tzu almost can't recognize it." ”

Xie Erjian didn't answer, just took out a pocket watch and opened it to look at it, and said lightly: "There is still an hour or so before dawn!" ”

Qi Jingtong hurriedly waved his hand, and Turdi was escorted down, and soon, the military interpreter changed into Turdi's clothes and put on two moaches.

"Haha, there are five or six points like, I'll look at it!" Qi Jingtong said with a smile.

Xie Erjian patted the translator on the shoulder and said: "Guan Laoqi, don't be nervous, it's time for you to make meritorious contributions, in the future, the imperial court will be crowned an official and a half-post, wouldn't it be a hundred times stronger than the vendors who eat and sleep in the open, get on the horse!" ”

This military translator turned out to be a merchant in Suzhou City, named Guan Laoqi, who usually made a living by selling goods out of the customs, so he knew the Turpan language, which was recommended to Xu Jin by Huang Dacan.

Guan Laoqi grinned reluctantly, he could see that he was indeed nervous, but what appeared in his eyes was excitement, and he quickly turned over and got on the horse.

Soon, five hundred Shenji battalion soldiers followed Guan Laoqi and galloped in the direction of Yumen Pass, they all changed into the clothes of prisoners and dressed up as Turpan soldiers, Qi Jingtong was also mixed in, and Xie Erjian led the main force of the Shenji Battalion to follow far behind.

About half an hour later, Guan Laoqi, Qi Jingtong and others rushed to the vicinity of Yumen Pass, and after a while, they found that the Turpan defenders on the head of the city did not move, so they swaggered closer to the city gate.

At this time, the head of the city was on duty the same small leader who had thrown a bag of wine down to buy Hemuti for Turdi.

"Is the city under the city General Turdi?" Maihemuti poked his head out and shouted to the city.

Qi Jingtong's heart moved, and he glanced at Guan Laoqi, who hurriedly shouted to the city in Turpan: "That's right, this general is Turdi, open the city gate quickly." ”

Maihemuti sighed lightly and said suspiciously: "Didn't General Turdi lead his troops to Guazhou to support, why did he come back again?" Other...... What about people? ”

Guan Laoqi's eyes rolled, covered his chest and coughed violently, and then he said in a hoarse voice: "Don't mention it, Lao Tzu was ambushed by the Ming army in front, and the team was scattered, and finally escaped back, quickly open the city gate, and the Ming army may catch up after a while, cough cough ......."

Qi Jingtong couldn't help but give a thumbs up, this thing is clever, and he knows how to hide his voice with an injured cough.

Maihemuti's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, the general, my subordinates will order someone to open the city gate." ”

"Centurion, without the order of General Mahamu, you can't open the city gate casually." A pro-soldier next to him hurriedly reminded in a low voice.

It is said that this Maihemuti is only a centurion who happens to be on duty tonight, and the highest-ranking guard in the city is called Mahamu, who is a thousand-year-on-command.

"No need, I'm responsible for something happens, go and hit the city gate!" Maihemuti said coldly.

It turned out that although this Maihemuti worked under Mahamu's hands, he had never been treated well and was excluded by his colleagues, so he had the idea of clinging to Turdi.

Before, Maihemuti threw a bag of wine from the city to curry favor with Turdi, and at that time, Turdi also said that he would find an opportunity to transfer him to his command, so at this time, Maihemuti naturally did not want to offend Turdi.

Seeing that Maihemuti did not listen to persuasion, the soldiers did not say much, and soon, the gate of Yumen Gate was slowly opened.

Qi Jingtong grinned with joy when he saw this, and rushed in without waiting for the city gate to be fully opened, his hands rose and fell, and the two guards were pierced with two shots.

Seeing that the boss had made a move, the five hundred Shenji battalion soldiers were not lazy, and they followed behind and rushed in, and the city gate that had not been fully opened was squeezed open on the spot, and several Turpan guards who had no time to run were caught to death by the thick city gate on the spot.

"Kill!" Five hundred soldiers rushed into the city shouting and killing, and in an instant they slaughtered the guards near the city gates, and then rushed to the city and controlled the city gates.

Squeak......

A signal flame rises into the sky and explodes in the night sky!

Five miles away, Xie Erjian saw the signal fireworks bursting in the night sky, and immediately shouted: "The front is successful, raise the fire, and move forward at full speed!" ”

Xie Erjian gave an order, and all the members of the Shenji Battalion lit torches, slammed the horse's belly, and slaughtered towards the Yumen Pass......
