Since the Han army flaunted its might to pacify the Xiongnu and open the Western Regions, the two most powerful cavalry Black Eagle Army and the Red Fire Army were respectively dispatched by the imperial court to transfer some elites to garrison the three cities of Shuofang and the four counties of the Western Regions in the north of the country. to assist the other Han armies in deterring the reach of these new spheres of influence.

The 5,000 Red Fire Army of the Western Regions Protectorate was directly commanded by Li Dang. These are all veterans of a hundred battles, who once followed and swept through the Western Regions under the sword of Huo Quai, and their merits were recorded. With them in charge, the land of the 36 countries in the Western Regions was as stable as Mount Tai, and there would be no moths.

And the reason why Li Dang was worshiped as the chief general of the Western Regions Protectorate was not because of his background, he really had such strength. As the son of the flying general Li Guang, the skill of riding and archery is naturally very powerful. Coupled with their family's prestige in the army and the emperor's trust, they deserved to defend one side.

Li Guang had a total of three sons, and those two fought with him in the early years, and they all died on the battlefield one after another. The veteran is in the twilight and has retired from the army. And Li Ling, who is a younger generation, has just come of age, and the heavy responsibility of continuing the glory of the family all falls on Li Kang's shoulders. Therefore, even if he doesn't talk about the duties of the righteous soldiers of the country, just to not disappoint his father, Li Dang takes the lead in every war, and does not fall into the prestige of the general.

Five thousand horsemen broke through the night, and they marched very fast. Li Dang, who was in full armor and robes, took the lead, holding the sword in his hand tightly, and the light revealed in his eyes showed the urgency of wanting to fight in his heart. If he really sees any damage to the Jiuquan Han Army after he goes, he will never tolerate it!

"Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. If you want to have long-term peace and stability on the border, it is not enough to blindly be gentle, and you should be domineering...... When necessary, the courage to show the sword is the best deterrent! ”

On the galloping war horse, Li Dang remembered what Yuan Zhao had said to him, and the blood in his chest began to rise. When I looked up ahead, the Jiuquan City Wall was already showing its shadow in the night.

Strangely, the city was eerily quiet and empty, and it seemed that no one was on duty. There was a very strange atmosphere that enveloped the surroundings, causing the eyes of many Red Fire Army warriors behind them to widen involuntarily. A few hundred meters away from the city gate, Li Dare reined in the war horse, and he also felt abnormal.

Seeing the general gesticulating, a general rode out and went to the city gate to check what was going on. However, after only a few steps, an arrow flew out of the darkness, and the general fell off his horse, and the horse was frightened and fled.

"There is an ambush! All ready to fight. ”

Li Dare let out a loud shout and drew his sword out of its sheath. Five thousand cavalrymen drew their swords together and looked around on alert. Suddenly, the sound of an unfamiliar trumpet sounded, and the city was already on fire, and the shadows of many people appeared on it.

"Who? Dare to occupy my Jiuquan County! ”

Li Dare was furious and shouted loudly. But I heard someone laughing, as if I had heard something extremely funny.

"Hahaha! This king has put up with you Han people for a long time! Occupy the place of our Western Regions, build a city, and show off the power of soldiers and horses here...... But I didn't expect to have today, right? Li Kang, since you are here in person today, don't think about leaving alive! ”

"Huh! What a big breath. Who are you? Thinking that he had taken the opportunity to sneak attack a city, he wanted to cause chaos in the Western Regions? I don't know if I'm alive or dead. ”

Li Dang motioned to his subordinates to prepare crossbow arrows, and pointed his sword diagonally at the head of the city. Since these guys are so bold and so rampant, he doesn't mind slaughtering them with blood! But no

Thinking of it, the other party laughed even louder.

"Li Kang! It is precisely you Han who do not know whether to live or die. You may not know it, just tonight, thousands of Han troops in Jiuquan were trapped in my Great Food King City, and under the burning flames, they had already been wiped out...... Hahahaha! ”

The laughter of the people in the city was like a night owl, which was piercing and terrifying. Li Dang and 5,000 soldiers stood outside the city, and the distant fire was still burning in the royal city hundreds of miles away. There was still a bloody smell in the surrounding night, and the battlefield that had not yet had time to be cleared gradually became clear under the light of the torches. It seemed that there was a heavy mountain gradually pressing down on his heart, and Li Dare asked in a hissed voice.

"If you dare to do this tonight, aren't you afraid of extermination?"

"The vast land of the Western Regions is not welcome for you Han people to come over! From this night onwards, your end is near. Hum! ”

"Just you? Great food, gaya, and suqian...... I, Li Dare to swear by the sword, the army is everywhere, and you chickens and dogs will not be left! ”

Li Kang and the 5,000 warriors were furious, and the fighting spirit was surging. However, the things that made them even angrier were yet to come. But I could hear someone from above shouting orders.

"Throw down the corpses of the Han army! Let these Han people take a good look at the fate they are about to face. ”

In the firelight, the five thousand cavalry of the Red Fire Army witnessed the ensuing scene, and there was a dead silence for a moment.

The walls of Jiuquan are not very high, and there is a river that surrounds it not far away. The soldiers of the Red Fire Army, who had come here on the western expedition, once drank the wine of the emperor together by this river. Their general poured the jar of wine into the river, and the whole army shared it. It seemed like yesterday when they were full of blood, but now, in the same place where they had been drinking together in helmets, they watched as their fallen comrades were thrown from the city...... Life withers, heroic souls dissipate, flesh and blood are dusty with withered grass!

Even if Li Dang didn't want to believe it anymore, everything he saw in front of him made him understand from the bottom of his heart that thousands of garrisons in Jiuquan were really killed. The sword full of anger is raised high, and if you want to avenge this, you should pay with blood!

"Shoot the arrows! Siege the city, kill ......! ”

However, before the crossbow arrows in the hands of the soldiers could be fired, the city head laughed wildly, and the desolate horn sounded, which was heard from far and near. There were tall war horses in groups that suddenly poured out from the city gate, and they killed them directly here.

At the same time, on the left, right, and rear of the Red Fire Army, I don't know when the enemy who was ambushed here finally appeared. As the flames were extinguished, the huge black shadows that were moving rapidly in front of the head were connected, and they quickly blocked the retreat in these three directions.

What is that?! Although they couldn't see it clearly, the soldiers of the Red Fire Army instinctively sensed that extreme danger was coming. Leaning slightly, the cavalryman, who finally had a good eye, screamed loudly.

"General Lee! It's a camel...... A large number of camels! The enemy army actually drove camels to fight in formation! ”

Li Dang was shocked. He had never seen such a way of fighting. This is definitely not the army of the Western Regions!

"Disperse! Hit the enemy head-on first. Each captain leads the team and fights randomly! ”

Li Dang had rich combat experience, and in the face of the encirclement formation that was pressed from three directions, he made the most correct choice at the first time.

The soldiers of the Red Fire Army were well-trained, and immediately changed their formation and quickly split up to attack. The crossbow arrows rained down, the light of the sword pierced the night, and the war horse suddenly accelerated

to collide with enemy cavalry charging head-on.

Li Dang Pegasus ran in front, and he shot six feathered arrows in his hand in a row without blinking his eyes, and several people on the opposite side fell off their horses. The distance between the two sides was short, and there was no time to think about it, and the burly warrior on the horse facing the high battle had already rounded his heavy scimitar and cut off his head.

Li Dang's eyes were quick, and when he avoided sideways, the two horses intersected, and the sword slashed horizontally, but he heard the sound of "dang", and the other party actually had a giant shield to protect him. He was surprised in his heart, his heart turned and stretched his ape arm at will, and the blade of the sword went straight up to the stab, and the warrior screamed, and the bloody hole in his throat was wide open, and he turned over and fell off his horse.

Li Dang didn't stop fighting, and when he continued to rush forward and fight, he was already alarmed in his heart. These enemies of unknown origin are so powerful, but they are the opponents of the Red Fire Army! I'm afraid that after this rush, the Red Fire Army will have a large number of casualties.

His prediction was correct. In the first round of hedging, the Red Fire Army caused hundreds of casualties among the soldiers who fell from their horses. Of course, the other party is no better, and this charging dead soldier with a steel scimitar and a large body shield has died even more. The Red Fire Army, which had not been defeated on the frontal battlefield since it was formed, finally met a real opponent.

The torches above and below the city were bright, and the light of the sword forced back the darkness of the night. The two cavalry teams that tested each other's strength were distinctly dressed, and the hard collision and brutal fighting did not frighten people, but stimulated a stronger surge of blood. The fighting spirit was raised to the extreme, and the countless wild birds that stayed overnight were frightened and flew around.

This was followed by an even more intense collision fight...... But in a quarter of an hour's effort, under Jiuquan City, on both sides of the calmly flowing river, there were three swings and three duels, and there were several confrontations, but none of them flinched. The tragic situation of the battle stunned the allied forces of the Great Food Countries watching from the top of the city, and they were shocked.

"Han General! Surrender with your soldiers! Our great king of Persia is most fond of heroes, and your fighting power is very bad, and you deserve to serve under him. ”

When the third charge was over, on the tall and sturdy war horse, the iron helmet general, who was obviously more than twice as large as ordinary people, wiped the blood on his face, and looked at the Han cavalry general who was more than ten zhang away on the opposite side and shouted loudly, with obvious appreciation in his tone. Whether in the West or on this eastward crusade, he had never encountered such a cavalry opponent.

Li Kang's left rib was slashed, and blood stained his armor and robe. Looking around, more than half of the 5,000 cavalry had been lost. He looked back again, and the sturdy wall behind him was no longer their barrier. The enemy above is eyeing the enemy, ready to shoot. The strong enemy on the opposite side blocked the way back, and in the distance, countless small camel cities composed of those camels had already been surrounded. The river flowed through the desert and was filled with the blood of warriors. The night is so long that those who are far from their homeland can no longer wait for the dawn to come. Dahan Fei re-grasped the sword in his hand with his only son, and he smiled contemptuously.

"It turned out to be Persians. It's a lot of ambition to come all the way here...... Come on, fight again! I am a big man, but there are decapitated generals, and there has never been a general! ”

The sword light is like snow, and the killing sound is like a tide. Although I know that I will die, I will go to the next generation, only I am a Chinese man!
