Chapter 2: Sharpening the Edge (Four Ups)

If the leaders of the horse thieves, such as Arslan, Sejirahu, and Flower Thirteen, had the courage to look back at the moment, they would immediately regret vomiting their intestines.

** The tide of the offensive is gone. Rulin Lifeng, who once made Saijira unable to stop with all his strength, slowed down in front of a group of captives who dropped their weapons and were about to be killed. They don't seem to be able to completely abandon their pity for their fellow human beings, and they can't let their mounts slip over their captives. For every additional delay, more horse thieves will slip through the cracks.

Compared with these lance-bearers who could not escape the kindness of the woman, the "ambush soldiers" who later came out of the wings were obviously more ruthless and decisive. However, although the momentum of these two ambushes was enormous, the actual results achieved were minimal. They are overly focused on showing their prowess and rarely cooperate with each other, or not at all. What kind of detours, outflanks, reflexes, relays, and so on basic cavalry tactics, there will be no such thing! As long as the horse thieves rush forward at any cost, they will have a chance to escape from the knives given to them, and there is no need to be overly afraid.

Compared with the above two teams, a handful of sand and snow dawang and others who defected to the battle showed a bit of experience in battle. But instead of chasing the dead to the north, what they need now is to prove their identity as soon as possible. After all, a worn-out battle flag can't tell everything clearly, and when there is a common enemy just now, the ** on the opposite side has no time to take care of too much. As soon as the horse thief's resistance collapsed, dozens of lancers immediately assumed a vigilant posture. If the two teams show the slightest hostility, they don't mind the thunderous attack that they have just inflicted on the horse thieves and do it again!

As long as Arslan and the others are not left without a master by the sudden appearance of a huge accident. As long as they led their descendants to hold on to the core of the battlefield for a while longer. The ending will be very different. At the very least, they have the potential to pull out more than half of their minions.

However, all this is just assumptions. **Decades of accumulation in the Western Regions are enough to make Arslan and others fearful. They didn't dare to turn back, they didn't dare to ignore the screams of the brothers around them, they just blindly urged their mounts, urged their mounts. Although the swordsmen who chased after them were numerous, they were still far behind the horse thieves in terms of the sophistication of their mounts and their familiarity with the surrounding terrain. After cutting off dozens of human heads, they were slowly pulled away.

Seeing that if he continued to chase down, there was a risk of being separated from the team, Qi Dazui reluctantly closed the team. The other swordsman leader, Chu Duyan, hadn't finished killing yet, and when he heard Qi Dazui blow the horn of collecting troops that had been agreed in advance, he rode his horse over, frowned and asked, "It's a pity to let them go like this, right?!" ”

"Let's let them bounce for a few more days!" Obviously feeling sorry like a good friend, Qi Dazui had a hard mouth, smiled, and made a look of a bamboo in his chest, "Lord Qincha told us in advance not to run too far away from the brigade." Presumably he had expected this section a long time ago, and deliberately let a few thieves live! ”

"Lord Qincha explained, why don't I remember at all?!" Chu Duyan frowned fiercely, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember when Lord Qincha had made such a request to himself and Qi Dazui. However, at this moment, he already admired Wang Xun to the point where he hated to be unable to offer the other party, and he didn't dare to do the slightest disobedience, "It is estimated that I didn't take it to heart at that time." To be honest, Lao Qi, our brothers are really blind this time! ”

"Who's to say it isn't!" Referring to the series of changes that have happened in recent days, Qi Dazui can't help but want to bite his fingers. It's too much like a dream, it's not real than a dream. A few old rivers and lakes who have been mixed on the ancient silk road for most of their lives have not seen the difference between caravans and military brigades! And after Lord Qincha's identity was revealed, the mind and methods he showed made him even more amazed. Unwilling to give in to innocent traders and swordsmen, unwilling to succumb to adversity. In an unknown place where it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, he did not hesitate to play the banner of the envoy of the Tang Dynasty. In the face of an enemy army several times larger than himself, he has no fear, and uses all his strange tricks to defeat the horse thieves.

In particular, the ambush that sneaked behind the horse thieves in advance was simply a stroke of genius. Several times in his heart, all the famous generals who can be remembered, wise generals, and Qi Dazui don't think that they are as ignorant as Lord Qincha.

The more you look at it with the eyes of worship, the more perfect the image of Chincha-sama becomes. Although his face is darker than those heroes in the legend, and his figure is too thick, it is incompatible with the chic appearance of the legendary strategizing and winning thousands of miles. On the way back, Qi Dazui continued to discuss with his old friend, "You said that our Datang has been eyeing these horse thieves for a long time!" Otherwise, how could the ambush soldiers sneak behind the horse thieves so easily? ”

"I guess so!" Chu Duyan rubbed his eyes that were already red with excitement, and grinned in response. "Did you notice? The flags of the ambush soldiers were all gone. At least, they came at least a little more than a year before us. Tsk, Lord Qincha's strategy is really called Lao Cheng. Compared to him, we people really live to be dogs! ”

"yes, yes. Don't be a man! The nearby swordsmen nodded their heads. No matter how optimistic they were about the young Lord Qincha before, at this moment, everyone thought that those strange words before this battle did not come from their own mouths. "It's best that Lord Qincha don't be busy with business and take us all the way over. Hmph, I see which horse thief on this road dares to be arrogant! ”

Is that really the case? Stop dreaming! Qi Dazui and Chu One-eyed shook their heads at each other. With the experience of the two of them as swordsmen for so many years, it is the first time in their lives that the officials and soldiers take the initiative to provide protection for the traders. In the past, the prestige of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions was great, and the strength of the Anxi Army was certainly despised by the heroes, but this prestige was never shared with ordinary people. In the eyes of most ordinary people, it seems that the official army loses or wins in the Western Regions, and it seems that it is a matter for the imperial court. It has nothing to do with them, and it can't bring them any benefits!

But today, this Lord Qincha, who led everyone to kill horse thieves, is really different from other officials when he talks and acts? Could it be that he has other backgrounds besides his identity as a chaplain? Thinking like this, Qi Dazui and Chu Duyan raised their heads in unison and looked at the battlefield in the distance.

The golden Tang Dynasty battle flag was still standing straight in the wind, proud and luxurious. It's really different, the previous Datang battle flags have never made people feel so close. I wish he had gone farther and picked higher. Qi Dazui and the others thought silently, and unconsciously, they had straightened their waists straight and straight.
