In the vast desert, thousands of soldiers and horses of unknown origin, with different colors and weapons, are very likely to be bandits, but the scale of this group of bandits is very large, at least Shen Tian has been on the border in the Western Regions for many years, and it is rare to hear that there are bandit gangs with a scale of more than 1,000 people.

Most of the bandits in the desert are not on the table, some are a dozen people, dozens of people, a little more than a hundred, or even two hundred, in the desert is already a large force.

In the face of bandits with a scale of 1,000 people today, Shen Tian was particularly cautious.

If the dignified Anxi Iron Army is planted in the hands of a group of bandits because of the light enemy, it will be a laughing stock for the ages.

So Shen Tian ordered to prepare for war, 5,000 soldiers rode horses to move to the west at the same time, the team also kept adjusting the formation, after the war horses traveled ten miles, the whole army has shown an offensive formation, and at the same time, two teams of 1,000 soldiers and horses were also divided, outflanking from the left and right sides.

The cavalry flanks were interspersed with flanking attacks, a typical Tang army attacking the enemy's formation.

When there were still ten miles away from the place where the scouts reported the enemy's traces, the soldiers and horses began to speed up, and Shen Tian took the lead, pulling out the knife on his waist, and the blade faced the biting cold wind, reflecting the cold light of the snow.

Silently raised the knife high, and then, with a sharp swing forward.

The army was given the order to attack, and no longer had to hide its tracks, and galloped towards the dunes.

At this time, the enemy troops behind the sand dunes also noticed the movement, poked their heads out from behind the sand dunes to take a look, and couldn't help but be frightened, and a black cavalry not far in front of them was like a black cloud covering the city, pressing towards them.

The disparity between the forces of the two sides was too great, and they attacked with preparedness, and the enemy had no fighting spirit, and after crying and shouting, they hurriedly mounted their horses and planned to flee.

At this time, Shen Tian, who was in the lead, was getting closer and closer to the enemy army, and seeing with his own eyes that this group of enemy troops of about 1,000 people really had different weapons and different colors, Shen Tian immediately made a judgment.

"It's a bandit, haha? We're going to make meritorious service again! Kill! Shen Tian laughed wildly.

Thousands of soldiers behind him shouted in unison: "Kill!" ”

A single word bursts open, and the heavens and the earth change color, like a cracked stone? A suffocating air pressure filled the air.

The bandits on the opposite side are getting more and more panicked? Ghost crying wolf howling and fleeing on horseback? As soon as he got on the horse and ran a few steps, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves on the left and right wings, and the flank soldiers and horses arranged by Shen Tian in advance arrived.

The flanks quickly launched a charge towards the bandits? Rushing straight through the middle of the bandit gang? Like two steel knives cutting off a man with a brush, the bandit was quickly cut into three parts, and at the same time? Shen Tian's Chinese army arrived? Charge again? Riding a horse from head to tail? Bandits cut again? The outcome was determined without any pressure.

Today's world? Once the Tang army rode on a horse, it was invincible in the world.

After the bandits were cut twice, Shen Tian waved his knife and said happily: "Cut off people's heads, reap the merits of war!" ”

The soldiers shouted again: "Kill!" ”

The unilateral slaughter began.

Just like the tactics of the last battle against Tibet, the Tang army first cut off the bandits? How many encirclements are there? Separate the bandits? The cavalry rode around the bandits? The soldier with the halberd in his hand stabbed at the enemy in the encirclement.

It's like cutting leeks, stubble after stubble, piece after piece? The screams of the enemies in the encirclement came and went, and they didn't even have time to organize a decent resistance, so they were killed by the Don army one by one.

Bandits are bandits after all, and they are very different from the regular army. At this moment, only individuals can resist, and the entire collective is completely paralyzed even the command system.

Seeing that half of the bandits had been killed, and a heavy battle feat was about to arrive, Shen Tian's heart became more and more joyful, if it wasn't for the wrong time, he really couldn't wait to laugh out loud.

At this moment, there was a sudden rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the east, and the Tang soldiers who were fighting did not notice it, but Shen Tian seemed to be aware of it, and turned his head to find that a group of about 3,000 elite horsemen was rushing towards him.

Shen Tian was shocked and shouted: "Give up the encirclement, immediately line up, immediately line up!" ”

At this time, the soldiers of the Tang Army also saw this elite cavalry that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and hurriedly withdrew from the encirclement, letting go of the bandits who were only one step away from being killed in the encirclement, and taking advantage of the fact that the elite cavalry was still a few miles away from them, Shen Tian's subordinates immediately assembled, and under the scolding and scolding of their respective generals, they hurriedly set up a defensive formation to meet the enemy.

The two sides looked at each other for several miles, and the elite cavalry on the opposite side seemed to have no intention of charging, and the closer they got closer, the more they slowed down, and finally the first general raised his right hand, and the whole army stopped.

The two sides confronted each other, and the bandits, who were only a few hundred people left, were caught between the two armies and did not dare to move.

After staring at each other for a long time, Shen Tian suddenly said, "Wave our flag." ”

The flag is erected and waved in the wind, there is a moon and a sun on the flag, and there is an auspicious cloud embroidered below, which is the style of the military flag of the Tang Dynasty.

Soon, a flag was also erected on the opposite side, and Shen Tian suddenly found that the elite cavalry on the opposite side was actually the military flag of the Tang Dynasty.

Dumbfounded, Shen Tian immediately ordered a personal guard to ride forward and ask.

The guards rode away with their bare hands, and came back after a while, reporting with a strange face: "General, on the opposite side is the soldiers and horses of the Hexi Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, and the leader is the Hexi Jiedu Envoy, the Duke of Liangguo Shuhan." ”

Shen Tian was taken aback, and when he was hesitating whether to get off the horse and come forward to meet him, a sergeant was also sent from the opposite side, riding a horse to Shen Tian, glancing at Shen Tian with indifferent eyes, and said: "My family has an order, and this group of bandits in front of me was tracked by the scouts of the Hexi Jiedu envoy for three days and three nights before they were locked, and they are already in the bag of our Hexi Jiedu envoy. ”

Shen Tian's expression suddenly turned cold: "Is Ge Shu Jieshuai going to steal the credit?" The bandits were obviously discovered first by our Anxi Protectorate, and half of them have already been killed, so why should they be given to you? ”

The sergeant said angrily: "Just because my family is handsome Ge Shuhan!" ”

Shen Tian laughed angrily: "My family is still handsome or Gu Qing, who is afraid of whom!" Today I don't want to! ”

In the distance, a general wearing bright light armor and a two-winged helmet rode slowly on his horse.

The general's face was dark, about fifty years old, his expression was cold, his eyes were like electricity, there was a hint of evil between his eyebrows, a wisp of green beard under his jaw fluttered lightly in the wind, a horizontal knife and a strong bow were obliquely inserted in the leather bag behind the saddle, and a personal guard behind him held high a banner and followed suit, and the words "Geshu of the West Jiedu of the Gonghe River of the Liang Kingdom" were written on the flag.

Shen Tian's heart tightened, and he knew that this person was Ge Shuhan, a victorious general with great military achievements.

Although he was angry in his heart, Shen Tian had to bow down on his horse and salute: "Shen Tian, the last general of Anxi Metropolitan Protector Guoyi Commander, meet Ge Shu Jieshuai." ”

Ge Shuhan turned a blind eye to Shen Tian's salute, and said coldly: "You just said that the marshal of your Anxi Festival envoy is Gu Qing?" Oh, this is strange, Ben Shuai has always thought that the envoy of Anxi Jiedu is Gao Xianzhi, when did the imperial court transfer Gao Xianzhi, why have I never heard of it? ”

Shen Tian knew that he was speechless, and hugged his fists and said: "The last general is mistaken, Gu Qing is the deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu. Now that Gao Jieshuai is sick, Anxi's military and political affairs are all handled by Gu Houye. ”

Ge Shuhan waved his hand and said: "Ben Shuai has no interest in your Anxi affairs, these bandits in front of me are the scouts under the command of my Hexi Jiedu Envoy Mansion who have been investigating for many days before finding out their whereabouts, and today they are about to gather and annihilate them, they are Ben Shuai's, you retreat quickly." ”

Shen Tian was angry in his heart, and couldn't help but argue: "Can Geshu Jieshuai be reasonable?" The bandits were obviously discovered by our Anxi army first, and half of them have been annihilated, is the commander trying to steal the merit? ”

Ge Shuhan laughed and said: "I am a dignified prince of the country, and I am the envoy of a town, so I can use it to compete with you for a little captain?" They are mine, and my brother Shuhan disdains to do that villain's thing in his life, but others don't want to steal any of my military exploits. ”

Shen Tian took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry Jie Shuai, these bandits are going to be decided at the end of today!" The military order of my marquis will not dare to disobey, the bandits must die under the knife of my Anxi army, and they must not fake outsiders! ”

Ge Shuhan's expression was quickly cold, his eyes pierced Shen Tian's eyes like a sword, and he said gloomily: "Shen Tian, do you want to go against my Hexi Army?" ”

Shen Tian was frightened in his heart, but he still straightened his back, and said awe-inspiringly: "The last general will not dare to go against the marshal, but the military order of my marquis is difficult to disobey, and the bandits must be returned to my Anxi capital to protect the mansion, and after killing these bandits, the last general will be at the disposal of the marshal." ”

Ge Shuhan obviously didn't expect a little Captain Guo Yi to be so tough, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said, "Would you rather die than complete your marquis's military orders first?" ”

"Yes, the military order is like a mountain, and the military order of the Hou Ye will be completed even if he dies!"

The guards behind Ge Shuhan were immediately furious, and they all drew their swords and pointed at Shen Tian, shouting: "Bold! Dare to be so rude to our festival handsome! ”

Behind Shen Tian, thousands of soldiers also drew their swords one after another, and the two sides suddenly fought with each other and confronted each other uncompromisingly.

The bandits in the middle, who were hundreds of people, had seen the situation clearly, and couldn't help but become more and more desperate.

What kind of evil did we hit today, the two gangs are fighting for our lives, and the bandits are also dignified!

When the air seemed to freeze, Ge Shuhan suddenly waved his hand, and the guards behind him unwillingly put their knives into their sheaths.

Ge Shuhan looked at Shen Tian and said slowly, "Who is your lord?" ”

"The Marquis of Qingcheng County, the prince Shaobao, the doctor Guanglu, the deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu, Gu Qing." Shen Tian replied stiffly.

Ge Shuhan sighed, and said: "Ben Shuai has heard of him, quite His Majesty's favor, he has been knighted as a county marquis in his twenties, and he is ranked as the deputy marshal of a town, not simple, hehe, I heard that the last time Tubo entered the Kouxi Regions, it was Gu Qing who wiped out 30,000 Tubo troops, and also discovered the conspiracy of the Tubo army. ”

Shen Tian saw that Ge Shuhan's tone suddenly softened, and while he was puzzled, he still politely hugged his fists and said: "The last general will praise my marquis Xie Jieshuai." ”

Ge Shuhan glanced at the group of bandits who were on guard in the middle, and said with a sigh: "As for these bandits, I will give them to you, it can be regarded as repaying the favor of informing the Tubo people of the conspiracy last time, and tell your family master, Ge Shuhan will go to Qiuzi City to visit Vice Marshal Gu on a certain day." ”

"If you want to be clear, this gang of bandits was indeed discovered by the scouts of my Hexi Army, and they have been staring at them for three days and three nights, this commander will not coax you in this little matter, I gave you this gang of bandits today, remember."

After speaking, he glanced at the bandits contemptuously, Ge Shuhan waved his hand, and the Hexi army retreated, and in a moment it was gone.
