As soon as Wen Du gave the order to let the cavalry pass through the valley quickly, a rather terrible scream sounded in his ears, as if something had risen into the air, making him subconsciously look up in the direction from which the sound came.

Not only Wendu, but also many cavalry in the valley heard this sharp laughter, and they all looked up and watched, only to see three red signal flares rising in the air.

It was the first time that the people of the Timurid Empire had seen a flare, so the cavalrymen pointed to it curiously and discussed, not knowing what it was.

Bang, bang, bang!

Not long after, under the gaze of Wen Du and others, three red signal flares that rose into the air suddenly exploded, and three beautiful red flowers bloomed in the air, which looked extremely beautiful.

"Oops!" However, Wen Du was not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful red fireworks in the sky, but his face changed greatly, which meant that the Ming army really set up an ambush in Sunset Valley, and Li Yuntian, who was chased by them and fled, would actually have a decisive battle with him here, which was really surprising to him, he never imagined that Li Yuntian would have the courage to fight back.

"Kill!" With the explosion of three red signal flares, there were deafening shouts of killing on the top of the mountain on both sides of the valley, and I saw countless soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Daming Guard appear on the top of the mountain, some holding bows and arrows, and some holding stones.

It is worth mentioning that not everyone on the top of the mountain is wearing the military uniform of the Ming Guard, and there are some people who are wearing the uniform of the Xiaowu Army, holding a wooden handle at one end and a black cylindrical iron bump at the other end - a grenade.

Under the stunned gaze of the Timurid cavalry in the valley, those on the top of the hill on both sides of the hill wearing the uniform of the Xiaowu Army pulled away the pull ring holding the top of the wooden handle in their hands, and threw down the grenade with the smoking end of the wooden handle.

Wen Du guessed correctly before, Li Yuntian did not bring many firearms to the Western Regions this time, but Li Zixi led the firearms battalion to reinforce the Eastern Chagatai Khanate with the Western Expeditionary Army, but he carried a large number of firearms, a large part of which was kept in the treasury of Qinglong City in Guanxi for emergencies.

This time he went to the rescue of Don't Lose Bali City, Li Yuntian carried as many firearms as possible, after all, the journey was difficult, since Li Yuntian's troops were insufficient, he could only rely on firearms as a killer weapon, and the oblique Sunset Valley could just exert the power of those firearms.

Boom, boom, boom......

The grenades exploded one after another after they landed, and although their explosion power was not as powerful as that of a mine, the lethality was not inferior at all, especially the shrapnel flying everywhere would inflict heavy damage on the cavalry gathered in a dense group.

The screams followed the explosions one after another, and because they did not know what the sergeants of the Xiaowu Army on the top of the hill had thrown down, the Timurid imperial cavalry in the valley did not even have the consciousness to dodge, and even looked curiously at the smoking grenades thrown under the hooves of their horses, and did not know what they were.

After the grenade exploded, the Timurid cavalry in the valley panicked and dodged aimlessly, but the valley was long and narrow, and there were so many cavalry gathered in it, and there was still room for those people to hide for a while.

Therefore, the cavalry of the Timurid Empire in the valley immediately became a mess, crowded with each other, and the situation was chaotic.

"General, the firearms of the Ming army are huge, you better go to the side and hide." Looking at the chaotic situation in the valley, a general who was surrounded by Wen Du to protect him said anxiously, if a grenade from the Ming army was thrown at Wen Du's feet, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"No, it's not safe here, and we have to rush out of the valley to get out of danger." Wen Du's face was pale at this time, he knew that he had despised Li Yuntian, he never thought that Li Yuntian still had the strength to counterattack, and the counterattack was so sharp that he was a little dizzy, he knew that the terrain of the valley was very unfavorable to the cavalry of the Timurid Empire, so he shouted to the people around him, "Quick, rush out of the valley!" ”

Hearing this, the surrounding generals and guards hurriedly escorted Wen Du to rush forward, although they knew that there were Ming army ambushes at the exit of the valley in front, but they were the closest to the exit at this time, so this was the safest option, if he wanted to return to the entrance in such a chaotic situation, the Ming soldiers on both sides of the valley would bring him great danger.

Although Li Yuntian brought a lot of grenades, there were not many evenly divided into the long Sunset Valley, so after the two rounds of grenade attacks, it was the turn of bows and arrows and stones, which gave the panicked cavalry in the valley a chance to breathe.

After all, grenades are unconventional attacks that can cause greater psychological deterrence, while bows and arrows and stones are conventional attacks, these cavalry of the Timurid Empire are also the elite of the southern and northern wars, naturally not afraid of these conventional attacks, and after coming to their senses, they rushed out of the valley in the shouts of the officers, and it was obvious that those experienced officers also knew that staying in the valley was a dead end, and only by rushing out could there be hope of survival.

"Lord Wang, the cavalry in the valley has begun to charge outside the valley." In a secluded place outside the valley, a guard walked quickly to Li Yuntian, who closed his eyes and recuperated, and said in a deep voice.

"It's worthy of being an elite, and they can react so quickly, but it's a pity that there are too few firearms belts with them on this long journey, otherwise they won't be able to get out of the valley." Li Yuntian opened his eyes when he heard this, and there was a trace of regret on his face, as if he was a little unwilling.

Then, Li Yuntian stood up and stretched his waist, walked to the side of the hill, ready to condescend to check the battle situation, as the cavalry of the Timurid Empire rushed out of the valley, the most critical moment of the ambush in Sunset Valley was about to begin, and the cavalry of the Guanxi battalion of the Xiaowu Army would have the first duel with the cavalry of the Timurid Empire.

To tell the truth, Li Yuntian was full of confidence in the victory of the cavalry of the Xiaowu Army's Guanxi Battalion, not because the cavalry of the Xiaowu Army's Guanxi Battalion was well-trained and well-equipped, but because the cavalry of the Timurid Empire was tired of men and horses after a long journey, and they didn't even have time to eat breakfast, they were hungry, and they had no strength to fight on the battlefield.

In addition, coupled with this attack in the Sunset Valley, in Li Yuntian's opinion, the combat effectiveness of the Timurid Imperial cavalry is not as good as the usual fifty percent, almost only three or four percent, so it is naturally not the opponent of the cavalry of the Guanxi battalion of the Xiaowu Army.

The reason for this was entirely because Wen Du and the others were too confident, thinking that Li Yuntian could only flee in the desert under the pursuit of the Timurid Imperial cavalry, so Li Yuntian seized the opportunity to be caught off guard.

In fact, when Wen Du led the cavalry of the Timurid Empire to chase Li Yuntian non-stop, he was actually destined to plant a big heel in Li Yuntian's hands, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other can survive a hundred battles, he didn't know much about Li Yuntian, so he couldn't judge how Li Yuntian acted.

But Li Yuntian knew Wen Du very well, so he set such a trap for Wen Du in Sunset Valley, so that the unsuspecting Wen Du crashed into it headlong.

At the exit of Sunset Valley, the cavalry of the Timurid Empire who had escaped from the valley stopped in panic, and soon gathered densely at the mouth of the valley.

"Why don't you leave?" Wen Du came out of the valley surrounded by guards and generals, and when he saw the cavalry in front of him stagnating, the bearded general from before couldn't help but roar angrily.

By this time, he had been hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and half of his clothes were soaked with blood, and he had only bandaged it simply due to the urgency of the situation, and he had never been so embarrassed since he joined the army.

After the cavalry gathered in front of them made way of a road, Wen Du and the others, who came to the front of the queue, were surprised to find that the open space in the distance outside the valley mouth was full of cavalry wearing the uniforms of the Xiaowu Army's Guanxi Qinglong Battalion, which tightly surrounded the valley in a fan shape.

"How can this be, they don't only have 10,000 troops, how can there be so many people?" The bearded general came back from his astonishment and couldn't help but look at Wendu, who was pale.

According to the news from the Timurid Empire's horse exploration before, only 10,000 cavalry from the Guanxi Qinglong Battalion of the Xiaowu Army fled with Li Yuntian, but the cavalry of the Guanxi Qinglong Battalion of the Xiaowu Army in front of him was at least five or six thousand, plus those who were ambushed in the valley, the number had already exceeded 10,000.

"We were fooled, the Zhongwu King of the Ming Dynasty secretly transferred troops over, judging from the costumes of the ambushed Ming army in the valley, they should be the Western Expeditionary Army."

At this time, the barbarian on the other side of Wendu said with a serious expression, although the cavalry of the Timurid Empire was about to usher in a big defeat in Sunset Valley, but he felt inexplicably relaxed in his heart, and even hoped that there would be a big defeat in Sunset Valley, so that no one would laugh at him anymore.

"This damn fellow is simply a cunning fox." The bearded general's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he couldn't help gritting his teeth and said, he just remembered this detail, the clothes of the Ming army in ambush on both sides of the valley were different from the clothes of these cavalry outside the valley.

"Order, the whole army retreats, get out of here."

Looking at the thousands of cavalry of the Guanxi Qinglong Battalion of the Xiaowu Army in front of him, Wen Du's heart was filled with a trace of bitterness, he felt that he had been defeated in Sunset Valley too wrongly, and he was about to retreat before he could confront the elite cavalry of the Guanxi Battalion of the Xiaowu Army under Li Yuntian, and he was really unwilling in his heart.

For the order to retreat, Wen Du was really forced to do so, first of all, Li Yuntian unexpectedly set up an ambush in the Sunset Valley, and caught the Timurid Imperial cavalry off guard after a long journey, with the current state of the Timurid Imperial cavalry being both tired and panicked, they could not compete with the cavalry of the Guanxi battalion of the Xiaowu Army who were full of spirit and waiting for work, so retreat was the only choice to avoid greater casualties.

Secondly, Li Yuntian secretly transferred reinforcements, Wen Du still does not know how many Ming troops Li Yuntian set up in the Sunset Valley, after all, Li Yuntian and Monte Khan have 60,000 soldiers and horses, and they have a huge advantage in terms of strength, and the most important thing is that the combat effectiveness of those soldiers is not weak, once the battle starts, the cavalry of the Timurid Empire, which cannot give full play to the cavalry advantage in the valley area, will suffer a catastrophe.

Therefore, in the face of the grim situation in front of him, Wen Du immediately made the decision to retreat, and he did not want to take any more risks after experiencing the previous series of attacks in the valley.

Just as Wen Du was about to turn his horse's head and walk into the valley, he suddenly noticed a little light flickering on the mountain peak not far away, so he subconsciously covered his hand in front of his eyes, and vaguely saw a person standing on the top of the mountain, surrounded by a group of people.

"King Zhongwu, you won first this time, but next time you won't have that good luck." Wen Du's face changed, and after saying a secret sentence in his heart, he led the Wu Man and the bearded general and others back to the valley, and the Timurid Imperial cavalry gathered at the mouth of the valley slowly retreated towards the valley.

For those who now have leisure and elegance to watch the battle on the mountain peak, Wen Du naturally guessed that it was the supreme commander of the Ming army in Sunset Valley-Zhongwu Wang, for this defeat in Sunset Valley, he thought that it was just Li Yuntian's luck, and did not admit in his heart that Li Yuntian's military talent was better than him.

"He is worthy of being a famous general of the Timurid Empire, and he actually took the initiative to choose to retreat!" On the top of the mountain peak, Li Yuntian put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand with some regret, and said to the guards on the side in a deep voice, "Pass on the king's military order, the whole army will attack and annihilate the fleeing enemy!" ”
