The Western Turks were still very alert, and soon many of them rushed out of their tents with swords in their hands, ready to fight the invading enemy.

However, as far as the eye could see, there was no shadow of the enemy, only patches of fire burning, and tents were constantly caught in flames.

"Quick, help Deacrylic put out the fire."

Deacrylic's shouting immediately alarmed the people in the nearby tent, and as soon as these people came out of the tent, they saw Deacrylic rolling on the grass with a fire all over his body, and some people took off their jackets and stepped forward to help put out the fire.

"Not good! Merhand was also on fire. ”

"Ahh Be careful, everyone, this fire is a bit evil. "A person who looks like a team found out that several people who helped to extinguish the fire were recruited one after another, and soon found that today's fire was a little different.

It's too late, though.

The army of 20,000 people nested in the Liangye Valley is not easy for people to find, but it is also troublesome to escape.

Besides, in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, the Western Turks rode in two or even three horses, which led to the gathering of tens of thousands of horses in the small valley.

Although these horses were tamed, they still panicked in the face of the fire.

Many Western Turks rushed out of their tents, not burned to death, but trampled to pulp by the galloping horses.

"We also dropped bombs, along the valley and valley mouths, and tried to burn all the grasslands here."

At this time, Li Kuan didn't think about whether he would burn the surrounding area after the fire broke out, the key was to destroy the 20,000 Western Turks first.

Don't look at the 20,000 army doesn't seem to be much, but considering that these are the elite cavalry of the Western Turks, if they are all lost here, it will definitely make the Western Turks hurt their muscles and bones, and they will not be able to slow down in a few years.

Hearing Li Kuan's order, Wang Xuanwu picked up an incendiary bomb from the hanging basket and threw it down, while Dai Quan personally operated the hot air balloon to move to the side of the valley.

At the same time, Xue Li also shot an arrow, and the scouts who followed nearby immediately knew that the first battle of the hot air balloon battalion was going well, and he could let the remaining guards move closer to the valley, and at the same time arrange for the personnel to return to Liangzhou City quickly, and let Niu Jinda arrange for a large army to come to the vicinity of Liangye Valley to encircle and suppress the Western Turks who broke through.

"Abdu, go quickly, this fire can't be extinguished."

In the valley, the fires were getting stronger, and the tents and grain and grass of the Turks were almost all burned. Abdu, who led the army this time, was the eldest son of the Western Turk Khan, and originally thought that after this captivity, his position within the Western Turks would be stable, and he would be able to succeed smoothly at that time.

However, I didn't expect that at the moment when I was about to return to the grassland, I was attacked inexplicably.

That's right, in Abdu's opinion, today's attack is inexplicable.

By now, basically everyone knows that the attack comes from a hot air balloon in the sky, which must be a newly invented weapon of Datang, but what is the use?

Although many Western Turks desperately rushed to the mouth of the valley in an attempt to escape the fire, few actually succeeded.

On the contrary, because of the chaos, they often collide with each other, causing people to turn their backs.

"Let's go! Mr. Fan, where can I go? This army is the most elite force of the tribe, and it is all lost in my hands, do I still have the face to go back? ”

Abdu can become the heir to the Khan throne, and naturally he has a few brushes. In fact, he is also a rare figure in the steppe who is both civil and military, he decisively introduced many frustrated Tang people within the Western Turks to give advice to himself, and even this time the captivity was carried out under the guidance of his subordinate Tang Fan Wensheng.

"Abdu, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of running out of firewood. I don't think Taniguchi has a big army to handle, so as long as you rush out, you can escape back. When the time comes, we'll be able to make a comeback. "Fan Wensheng defected to the Western Turks, naturally hoping to get ahead, and didn't want to see Abdu die in the Liangye Valley like this.

"That's right, young master, what Mr. Fan said is right, it's imperative, let's rush out of this valley first, and then there may be no chance."

Abdul was surrounded by guards who were relatives of his own tribe, and there was no problem with his loyalty; Soon, regardless of whether Abu agreed or not, Fan Wensheng and Abudu's guards hugged Abu Du and got on the horse, and the group rushed to the valley mouth when they met the gods and killed the gods.

During this period, some Western Turks blocked the way in front of them, and they were directly cut down by Abdu's guards.

"Let's raise the balloon a little higher, or it's dangerous!"

The hot air balloon had a limited payload, and soon all the incendiary bombs were dropped into the valley, and it was not surprising that the bottom was a sea of fire.

In some areas where the grass and shrubs are dense, the fire is completely uncontrollable.

The raging fire scorched the air above the entire valley, causing the balloons to become somewhat uncontrollable.

Fortunately, Zhu Fufu was already familiar with the performance of the hot air balloon, and after finding that something was wrong, he immediately signaled everyone to raise it a little.

At the same time, in Liangzhou City, Niu Jinda had a sad face.

"Hasn't His Royal Highness the King of Chu come back yet?"

"General, since the prince left the city yesterday afternoon, he hastened to the northwest. Since our scouts were only placed within a radius of ten miles, we lost the king's movements after yesterday evening.

Niu Jinda listened to the words of his subordinates and became even more worried, "Hey, it's all because I wasn't resolute enough yesterday, I shouldn't have let His Royal Highness the King of Chu out of the city." ”

"General, the prince is in Liangzhou City, we can still guarantee his safety, but what will happen when you leave the city, it is completely uncontrollable. Just the day before yesterday, the Western Turks ransacked a village seven or eight miles south of the city. If the prince's team is bumped into by the Turks, then ......"

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu said that he would take his guards to destroy the Western Turks, so that they would never dare to invade Liangzhou City again. Now it seems that if he can not be wiped out by the Western Turks, he will be thankful. ”

To be honest, Niu Jinda was very dissatisfied with Li Kuan's insistence on going out of the city; And when he heard that Li Kuan went out of the city to kill the Western Turks, although he had a little admiration in his heart, he was more disappointed.

Courage and resourcefulness are admirable.

But like a fool, he knows that he can't do it, or even go to death, and there is no way for Niu Jinda to recognize such behavior.

As the defender of Liangzhou, Niu Jinda is responsible for more than 10,000 residents in the city.

"General, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has a special identity after all, do you want to send someone to Chang'an City to report, lest there be ......an accident when you get it?"

"Hey," Niu Jinda sighed, "Wait a little longer, spread the scouts out to a radius of more than ten miles, and see if you can find news of the prince." If there is no news in the past two days, I will send a letter to Chang'an. ”

Just as Niu Jinda sighed, a subordinate hurriedly rushed in, "General, there is a guard in the Chu Palace's palace who has returned to the city, saying that there is something urgent to see the general!" ”
