At the end of May 14, the 19th year of Zhenguan, the sun was shining high in the sky, and the scorching golden light was generously scattered to the vast prairie, even if it was an extremely heat-tolerant grassland plant, at this time, it was wilted, the grass blades hung weakly, and the poplar trees by the Ulungu River also looked a little listless, only the Ulungu River was still flowing, but the amount of water was far less than in the past, and the water depth in the open area of the river was even barely able to wade, Hundreds of wild horses running out of the poplar forest are lazily drinking water by the river, even if not far from the Tang Army's calf hoarding camp, the wild horses still look lazy, not the slightest bit of nervous heat, it is too hot, in this kind of heat, it is not only the wild horses who can't run, but also the battle-hardened soldiers in the Tang Army camp are also powerless to toss, except for a few patrols who stick to their posts, the vast majority of the soldiers are in the tent to avoid such a rare heat.

There is no wind, the heat is like a solidification of the earth, the dead silence of the faction in all directions, although the sentinels on duty on the high watchtower are still standing straight, but their eyes are scattered, this is not surprising, just a few days ago, the army of the Qarlu country across the river and the Tang army has been transferred away, except for the Tang army within a hundred miles around, there is not even a herdsman, and at this time of the heat, it is impossible to have a sudden situation, a little relaxed, but it is really reasonable, then, The accident finally happened but there was a puff of smoke and dust raised behind a hill on the other side of the river, showing that someone was galloping towards this place, and the sentinel's eye quickly judged that the number of people was not much, roughly that it was not a hundred horses, and when he was hesitating whether to warn, he saw a horse turn out from behind the hill, and rushed towards the bank of the Ulungu River without a fight, and behind him were dozens of Qarluq cavalry who were chasing after themselves, and there were constantly feathered arrows shooting out of the pursuers. Looking at that posture, it seems that the horse in front of him must be killed, and it is impossible to do so on the spot.

The sentry on the watchtower hesitated, but still sounded the horn representing the emergency, and in an instant, the originally silent Tang army camp immediately became in a commotion, and countless Tang officers and soldiers who were resting poured out of the barracks one after another, each turned over and mounted their horses, ready to respond, although they were not panicked, the clean and neat strength showed the Tang army's strong will to fight and good training level.

At the moment when the poignant horn sounded, Lin Chenghe, the guard of the northern Xinjiang town, was discussing with Dong Qianli, Liu Qi and others in the big tent of the Chinese army about the relevant matters of the march. The costumes of the Qarluq cavalry who were in hot pursuit were very distinct, and they were the elite cavalry of the Qarluq country that had just withdrawn from the other side not long ago.

Zifeng, the situation doesn't seem right, how about a certain leader stop someone first? As the deputy governor of Hufu in Anxi, Liu Qi's identity is one level higher than Lin Chenghe's, but Liu Qi has never been a person who likes to put on an official show, and at this time, seeing the strange behavior of the Qarlu cavalry, he immediately raised it in a consultative tone.

Is there something wrong, Brother Liu can't take risks personally, Eagle Thirteen, take your people up, stop everyone, don't let one go, if anyone dares to resist, don't kill them! Lin Chenghe's eyelids jumped, and he immediately ordered loudly.

Yes, the last will obey! Eagle Thirteen was originally a member of Li Zhen's Eagle Group, and later joined the army, repeatedly made military exploits, and after Li Zhen returned to Beijing, he deliberately left it behind, as the commander of Lin Chenghe's personal guard battalion, specializing in protecting Lin Chenghe's safety, at this time he was riding a horse to follow Lin Chenghe's side, as soon as he heard the general order, he immediately made a loud promise, leading more than 300 elite cavalry to go straight to the Ulungu River, regardless of the murmuring water in the river, so straightforwardly the horse rushed across the river, The knight who was desperately fleeing outflanked the past, and the Qarlu cavalry, who was chasing not far away, saw that the Tang army had brazenly rushed across the Ulungu River as the national border, and there was a great chaos, but as if they were reluctant to give up the prey that was about to arrive, they reined in the ** galloping war horses, and looked at the Tang cavalry who were rushing like thunder.

General Eagle save me, the general saves me, a certain Ningbei Prefecture record to join the army Zhuge Mingyi is also, the general save me! The crazy escaper is the deputy envoy of the Tang Dynasty envoy Zhuge Mingyi, since he sneaked out of Yehe City in disguise, all the way to the south hurried, but on the way because of the frequent mobilization of troops and horses of the Qarlu country, had to make a frequent detour, so that he set off for nearly five days, but failed to arrive at the calf hoarding camp, today is because of the flaws exposed when breaking through the pass, was frantically pursued by the Qarlu cavalry, the body has been hit by several arrows, when I saw the Eagle Thirteen led the troops to come, the spirit suddenly lifted, regardless of the loud shouting.

Eagle Thirteen since following Lin Chenghe's side, in the past there was no less to Ningbei Prefecture to do business, and Zhuge Mingyi has had several faces, and they can be regarded as talking to each other, at this time, the person who heard the person claimed to be Zhuge Mingyi, and then looked at his ragged clothes and rags, not to mention, there were a few feather arrows stuck in the back mountain, and he was taken aback, and said: The army listens to the order, the commander has an order, and the Ge Lulu dog thief will be annihilated on the spot, and those who dare to resist will be killed! As soon as the words fell, he led his troops to give way to Zhuge Mingyi, and waved his army directly at the cavalry of the Qarlu tribe who had already been in chaos.

A battle between the cavalry started quickly and ended faster, the group of Qarluq cavalry in terms of horsemanship, tactics and personal force compared to the elite cavalry of the Tang Army are a cut behind, not to mention that the guard battalion of the Eagle Thirteen Department is the elite of the Tang Army, the two sides are just a kung fu of fighting horses and taking pictures of the face, more than 100 Gelulu cavalry completely collapsed, no one was able to escape, died sixty, and the rest all obediently dismounted and surrendered.

General Lin, the country of Gelulu reversed, the subordinate Zhuge Mingyi under the escort of two Tang cavalry frantically rushed across the Ulungu River, as soon as he saw Lin Chenghe standing in front of the barracks, he immediately shouted loudly, but the words were just halfway through, he couldn't catch it in one breath, the whole person shook on horseback, and he was about to plant himself on the ground, fortunately, the two Tang cavalry beside him saw the opportunity quickly, each stretched out a hand, and held it alive, poor Zhuge Mingyi ran around for several days and was not lightly injured, and he had fallen into a coma at this time.

Tell the Medic! When Lin Chenghe heard Zhuge Mingyi's words, his heart shook slightly, and when he broke off, several military doctors rushed up from behind and carried Zhuge Mingyi in a coma into the wounded barracks for first aid. /

Zhuge Mingyi was covered in blood, and there were a few feather arrows on his back, which looked amazingly injured, but in fact he was not seriously injured, most of those bloodstains were the blood of the Ge Lulu guards who fought when he broke through the pass, as for the few feather arrows on his back were chased when he was in the middle of the pursuit, because of the close soft armor protection, the flesh was not deep, the reason why he fell into a coma, generally because of the high mental tension, suddenly relieved, under the rescue of the military medical officer, he woke up in a few moments, just opened his eyes, and saw Liu Qi, Lin Chenghe, Dong Qianli, the three giants, were looking at themselves with concern, Zhuge Mingyi immediately wanted to turn over and get up, but he was weak, just straightened his waist, and immediately pulled the wound, and then he screamed in pain, and the sweat on his forehead rolled out, and his face was as white as paper.

Lie down and don't move. Seeing this, Liu Qi hurriedly leaned over, supported Zhuge Mingyi's body that was about to get up, and said gently: Zhuge joined the army, how is Chen Fujun now? How are you in the Mission?

Zhuge Mingyi saw that Liu Qi did not ask about the military situation first, but first asked about the safety of the envoys, and his heart was moved for a while, and he hurriedly replied: Liu Dudu, the lower official is Yehe City who left five days ago, before leaving, Chen Fujun asked the lower official to come to report a sentence, saying that the poisonous snake has shown its fangs, and the lower official has been entrusted by the prince, even if he disguised himself as a small trader and sneaked out of Yehe City, he planned to come straight to the camp, but he never thought that in the past few days, all the soldiers and horses in the country of Gelulu are being assembled, the roads are not smooth, there are many patrols everywhere, and the inventory is strict. Xia Guan even changed the path several times, but could not pass, this morning had to try to break through, but unexpectedly provoked the pursuers, almost killed, and did not know the situation of Chen Fujun now, only knew that Amotina was planning to do something to our army.

Thank you Zhuge for the information sent by Zhuge to join the army, and you can live and recuperate here, and everything has its own Lin Zhen Guard. Liu Qi raised his eyebrows, exchanged glances with Lin Chenghe, and then patted Zhuge Mingyi's shoulder with a smile, comforted him gently, and then led the crowd out of the big tent.

He, I said that those dog thieves were so kind, and they were sending a road map, and they were going to send guides, and they also withdrew the troops who were watching, and they were planning to dig a pit for Lao Tzu to jump, and hack those dogs to death! As soon as the three giants returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, Dong Qianli, who had a violent temperament, couldn't help but take the lead in scolding.

Although Dong Qianli is also from the Rising Sun, he has long been out of the Rising Sun system, and he doesn't know the inside story of the whole thing, it is natural for him to have such a seizure, but Lin Chenghe and Liu Qi are insiders, but at this time, there is a burst of awe-inspiring Li Zhen is far away in Chang'an City, which is thousands of miles away, but he has already calculated that there may be related misdeeds in the country of Gelulu, and this kind of clever calculation and grasp of people's hearts really make Liu and Lin admire.

Brother Lin, Brother Dong, it seems that this battle is inevitable, well, according to this road map, there are three places where Amoti can lay traps, one is Qinglingyuan, the other is Lao Niutang, and third, it is its old nest Hongshanzui, and now that the enemy is outnumbered, this battle may not be easy. Liu Qi ignored Dong Qianli's abuse, pointed to the sand table in the Chinese army's big tent, and calmly analyzed.

Lin Chenghe nodded quietly, and took over the topic: Well, according to a certain point of view, Qinglingyuan is too close, and the terrain is not too good, since Amoti wants to ambush our army, I am afraid that he will not choose this place, as for the terrain around Hongshanzui, although it is suitable for ambushes, but the road is too far, our army enters its country, and after a long time, its ambush is bound to leak. Then the biggest possibility is that Amotti has mobilized the main force to the area of Laoniutang, waiting for our army to step on the trap.

Knowing that it is a trap, why should our army step on it, since Amoti has mobilized the main force, its nest must be extremely empty, if we wait to enter Yehe City, hit the old boy by surprise, and mobilize his troops and horses back and forth, and then our army gives full play to the mobility of the rangers, and simply gives him a mess to disrupt, I don't believe that the rabble under Amoti can block the attack of our ranger army! Although Dong Qianli has a violent temperament, he may be such a high-ranking official as the commander of the upper cavalry, but his strategic and tactical ability is not bad, so he pointed to the sand table, and said with bright eyes.

Mobile combat is the true color of the rangers, when it comes to the ability to run thousands of miles, the cavalry in the Anxi armies is absolutely second to none in this regard, Dong Qianli himself is a great expert in this area, if there is enough time, according to what he said to fight such a battle, a big victory is inevitable, but it is a pity that the situation is too delicate now Xue Yantuo's civil war has reached the time of imminent outbreak, and the rangers with a special mission can no longer waste too much time to play the trick of catching cats and rats with Amotti at this time, moreover, If it is according to Dong Qianli's style of play, although it can win a big victory, it is difficult to achieve the goal of eliminating evil, once the main force of Amotti slips away, it will inevitably leave a trouble, and if you want to clean up Amotti again in the future, I am afraid that the difficulty will be several times greater, and this is the result that Liu and Lin Er will absolutely not want to see.

Brother Dong, although this plan is feasible, according to the strict order of His Royal Highness, our army must rush to Benchaganhu before the end of May. Liu Qi saw that Dong Qianli was talking about it, so he had to make a point.

Ah, hehe, I forgot about this section, anyway, the left and right are going to fight, how to fight, Lao Lin and Lao Liu came up with an idea, and I Lao Dong went out to do it. Dong Qianli and Liu Qi have been in the gears, and the relationship between them is extraordinary, at this time, seeing Liu Qi speaking out against his proposal, he didn't mind, scratched his bare brain, and said with a smile.

Lin Chenghe nodded, didn't say anything, his eyes were always staring at the sand table, and after a long time, he raised his head and said: Since Amotti wants to start a war in Lao Niutang, then take advantage of his wishes.

Ah, that's not going to work! There are only more than 10,000 of my rangers at the moment, and if you ask someone to make dumplings, it will be a fart! As soon as Lin Chenghe's words fell, Dong Qianli immediately widened his eyes and shouted unhappily.

I think it can! As soon as Dong Qianli's words fell, Liu Qi said with a smile.

What the? Lao Liu, you Dong Qianli became anxious when he heard it, and he was about to refute with a big mouth.

Don't worry, old Dong. Liu Qi laughed, waved his hand to stop Dong Qianli's words, and pointed to the sand table: Zifeng means to gather and annihilate the enemy army in Lao Niutang, come, you see, the terrain of Lao Niutang is indeed conducive to setting up ambushes, if our army really walks into this place, on one side is the vast desert, on the other hand is the steep mountains, only the front and rear are feasible, Amoti only needs to be blocked before and after, our army is bound to have no way to retreat, but if our army reaches the ground, but does not enter the field, what will Amoti do?

This Dong Qianli was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought about it: The arrow is on the string, I'm afraid that if you don't send it, you have to send it.

Liu Qihaha smiled and said: Yes, that's the reason, at that time, I can't help Amoti not to fight, instead of letting Amoti choose the battlefield, if our army fortifies and let it attack, as for the lack of men and horses, first, there is a Shenji battalion, since I am not afraid that Amoti can turn over a big wave, and second, Amoti can gather troops, and your old Dong's rangers can't divide their troops to attack? Once Yehe City and Hongshanzui's lair are all taken care of by our army, what else can Amodi do?

Well, this plan is also needed, but can the Divine Machine Battalion withstand it? Dong Qianli thought about it carefully, and had already understood the overall strategic concept proposed by Lin Chenghe, but Dong Qianli was a veteran of the battle array after all, and he saw the key to this battle at a glance, that is, whether he could block the strong attack of 80,000 Gelulu cavalry with 10,000 troops, and hold on until the arrival of his own roundabout troops.

The Shenji Battalion that went out with the army this time was not the original Anxi Iron Army that was assembled with ballistas, ballistas and other things, but a mysterious journey, although it was in the army at this time, it was mysterious, not only the military camp was independent, but even the logistics supply was also independent, and the weekday training was strictly confidential, not to mention that ordinary soldiers could not enter the camp of the Shenji Battalion at will, and even the high-level generals did not know much about this mysterious army that was not too many, Dong Qianli was one of the giants of Anxi, I know a little about this unit, and I have seen the daily training of this unit, but I am not optimistic about its combat effectiveness.

Although Liu Qi is only the deputy governor of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, he seems to be the second person in Anxi, but in fact, many of the core secrets of Anxi are not in the hands of the Metropolitan Governor Chai Zhewei, but are under the control of Liu Qi.

As soon as he heard that Liu Qi had moved Li Zhen out, Dong Qianli didn't dare to question it any more, frowned and said: Okay, that's fine, since there is going to be a war, then let's go and mobilize the troops and horses. As soon as the voice fell, he strode out of the big tent of the Chinese army, and went to arrange relevant matters without mentioning them.

Be happy, remember only
