An undeclared encounter opens up on the edge of the dark desert and catches people off guard.

The roars of people, the neighing of horses, the screams of the dying, and the wails of death, all kinds of voices became the source of fear in the dark night when the fingers were missing.

The bow and arrow have been released three rounds, I don't know how many casualties the enemy soldiers, Jiang Quan is indeed a good general, in the dark environment when the enemy situation is unknown, he did not give the order to take the initiative to attack, but strictly ordered everyone to extinguish the torches and bonfires, and shrink the defensive circle, to defend instead of attack, wait and see what happens.

The enemy soldiers in the west did not expect the Tang army to be so tightly defended, and after three rounds of arrow rain, there was a little loss, and at night, after the opponent's leader drank a few words, the attack on the Tang army was temporarily stopped, and they all gathered and temporarily withdrew.

In the crowd of Hu merchants, Na Yan heard the words of the enemy leader from afar, and his face couldn't help but change.

Li Su was the closest to him, and although the night was dark, he could still vaguely see the expression on his face.

"What did he say?" Li Su asked quietly.

Na Yan looked at him deeply, and his eyes were a little admiring.

Regardless of the meaning of the other person's words, the first sentence asks the language of the place where it is spoken, and this question is more important than the meaning of the enemy's words.

Na Yan is now gradually becoming clear, a teenager was knighted by the incomparably wise His Majesty the Heavenly Khan, and I heard that he was quite favored, yes, if he didn't have the ability to be a few catties and a few taels, why did His Majesty the Tang Dynasty Heavenly Khan value him so much?

In a sinister environment, Li Su's mind is still very clear, which is also a skill.

Na Yan pondered for a moment, lowered his voice and said: "The Turkic dialect spoken is close to the dialect of a Turkic tribe in the north of the Tang Dynasty, which is a bit obscure ......."

Li Su's eyes widened: "Are you sure it's Turkic?" ”

"Sure, the villain has walked the Silk Road for many years, and he knows a little about the dialects of every place near him."

Li Su's brows tightened. He muttered: "This has just passed the Yumen Pass, how can the Turks appear here?" ”

Na Yan said with a smile: "The border to the west of the Tang Dynasty is said to be as far as Xizhou, but in this vast desert where people are inaccessible, how can there be a real border?" The Turks come and go like the wind, and it is not surprising that they appear anywhere outside the Yumen Pass. ”

The two whispered. Not far away, the Tang army and the Turks were in a stalemate.

The night was too dark, it was difficult for both the enemy and us to distinguish the enemy's situation, and the Turks did not dare to act rashly after suffering a small loss just now, and they were unwilling to leave, and the two sides quietly confronted each other from a distance of dozens of paces.

Xu Mingzhu was trembling with fear at first, and after being held in his arms by Li Su, he slowly calmed down a lot, and later found that the Tang army easily repelled the enemy's first wave of attacks. After the two sides entered a stalemate, Xu Mingzhu was not afraid, not only was he not afraid, but he seemed to have something else in his mind, such as ...... At this moment, she was held in her arms by her husband, and it was the first time in her life that she was held by the opposite sex, and it was also the first time that her husband was so close to her, and it was the first time that she felt so warm in the original man's chest. Safe......

The more I thought about it, the more I thought about it, and then. Xu Mingzhu's face gradually turned red, and he buried his head in his arms like an ostrich, refusing to come out no matter what the situation was outside.

Compared with Xu Mingzhu's beautiful thoughts at the moment, Li Su was much more sober.

The deep frown never soothed, and in the dark night, only the sound of the enemy's horses' hooves could be heard dozens of paces away. And the war horses they rode occasionally snorted impatiently, but the number of enemies, their directions, the formation of the battle formation, and so on, were unknown.

Tonight's enemy attack was too sudden. There was no warning at all, and it was not clear what the purpose of the attack was, whether it was for money or slaughter, or ...... Deliberately targeting him, the newly appointed Xizhou?

A stalemate is not the answer, it is only a delicate balance for a short time, and this balance of moments on the battlefield is usually quickly broken, perhaps because of a cough, a bowstring, or even an inconspicuous breeze......

Li Su's eyebrows kept jumping, if the first time was just a test of the enemy, the second attack after breaking the stalemate and balance would inevitably be much more tragic than the first time, everyone knew the ever-changing truth of the fighter, and no one would be stupid to continue the stalemate.

Gritting his teeth, Li Su let go of Xu Mingzhu and instructed Wang Zhu to protect her, and then walked out of the protective ring stacked with camels and goods on his waist, and walked to Jiang Quan's horse in front of him.

"General Jiang, it's not a way to go on like this......

Jiang Quan looked ahead with a depressed expression, and sighed: "Stalemate is indeed not a way, and it will be harmful to both sides if it drags on any longer. ”

Li Su didn't move, he didn't run out of the protective ring to say this nonsense.

"General Chiang, we must seize the initiative in our own hands, otherwise if the enemy adopts the method of dividing and dividing in the next attack, pinning down the main force of our cavalry on one side and harassing the caravan from the flank on the other side, then we will be in big trouble."

Jiang Quan's heart sank, if the enemy general is really as Li Su said, it is indeed a big trouble, the dark environment is fair to both the enemy and us, everyone can't show their hands and feet, but the enemy has an advantage, they have no scruples, a knife to cut down, kill anyone is earned, but Jiang Quan and the cavalry under his command can't do it, they also have to protect Li Su and the Hu caravan, with scruples, it is inevitable to be passive, this is a taboo on the battlefield.

"How to be proactive? At the moment, it is pitch black, you can only line up to defend, if you attack rashly, I am afraid that you will suffer a big loss......" Jiang Quan shook his head bitterly, and then his expression suddenly became indignant, and he clenched his fists and said angrily: "Hate only hates the enemy for being despicable, sneak attack at night, if you change the daylight, everything is within sight, even if there are thousands of enemy troops, I will also discipline them to know the power of my Datang Iron Cavalry!" ”

Li Su looked into the distance, faintly heard the sound of people and horses gasping on the opposite side, and occasionally heard the horses' hooves uneasily digging on the ground, but no matter how he stared, it was still pitch black, and there was no one or a horse in sight.

After thinking for a long time, Li Su suddenly blinked: "Does General Jiang know about flares?" ”

Jiang Quan was stunned: "What is a flare?" ”

"Listen to me, now neither side can light a fire, a little fire will be exposed, as soon as it is exposed, it will be attacked, but what if the light appears on the enemy's side first?"

"Li Biejia means ......"

"I listened to the movement of the enemy's soldiers and horses, about fifty paces away from us, and if we light a torch and throw it at the enemy, the torch will be thrown in front of the enemy's formation, and there will be at least a moment of light......

Jiang Quan stayed for a moment, and then rejoiced, he was not stupid, so Li Su was able to understand it at one point, and the fighter plane was changing rapidly, but there was a trace of light, which was enough for an experienced general.

"Good idea!" Jiang Quan didn't care about being polite to Li Su, and immediately lowered his voice and ordered: "Come on, collect the pine branch torches in the army, line up in front of the formation, and prepare bows and arrows!" Divide the army of 500 people, press the formation on the left and right flanks, and prepare to charge! ”

Li Su turned around and pulled Wang Zhu out of the protective ring, patted him on the shoulder and smiled at Jiang Quan: "This kid used to be a Mo knife hand in the Mo Dao camp, and if there is nothing else, he has a stupid strength, and the torch is thrown by him." ”

Wang Zhu smiled reservedly and pretentiously, and puffed out his chest muscles without showing any traces......

Jiang Quan glanced at him disdainfully, and reluctantly nodded in response.

The sound of countless arrows pulling strings was particularly clear in the quiet night, and the two rows of arrows trembled and pointed at the enemy battle formation in front of them, silently and murderously.

A torch coated with fire oil was ignited in the rear of the Tang army, and the enemy troops on the opposite side were stunned for a moment, and before they had time to react, they heard a loud shout, and the torch was thrown out and flew in a parabolic line towards the Turkic array.

From high to low, from far to near, the torch turned around in the night sky, and fell right in the middle of the enemy array, and in an instant, the enemy formation, numbers, weapons, and even the stunned expressions on their faces were all illuminated.

There is only a moment, but this moment is enough.

The officers and men of the Tang Army, who were ready to shoot with arrows, saw the enemy clearly at that moment, and Jiang Quan shouted violently, "Release the arrows!" ”

Whoosh!

One, two, three......

On the opposite side, there were screams and falling horses of the enemy, and there was a sudden chaos.

At the right time, Wang Zhu threw another torch.

In an instant, the chaos in the enemy's formation fell into the eyes of the Tang army.

Three more rounds of arrows rained out.

Jiang Quan gritted his teeth and sneered: "Dog offal, only three or five hundred people, dare to provoke my Tang Xiongbing, and almost hit your way tonight!" Left and right flanks, charge Lao Tzu! ”

Rumble!

The order was like a mountain, and the cavalry on the left and right flanks of the division of troops crossed the formation, raising their horizontal swords and rushing towards the enemy formation.

Whoosh!

Wang Zhu exerted his stupid strength to the extreme, and the two torches were thrown out very cooperatively, once again exposing the enemy to the eyes of the charging soldiers of the Tang Army.

In an instant, the Tang army had rushed into the enemy formation, and the two sides collided violently like two galloping carriages, and a fierce battle began on the battlefield.

Jiang Quan also pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist and shouted: "Zhongjun, attack!" ”

The other 500 cavalrymen of the front array team silently put their bows and arrows back into their leather pouches next to the saddle, drew their horizontal knives, and whipped their horses to charge.

The Turkic enemy army of three or five hundred people was bitten by the Tang cavalry of one thousand people, and they were immediately caught in a bitter battle and could no longer withdraw.

After the half-pillar incense, the sound of the fight was obviously much weaker, and Li Su stood quietly in the protective circle and suddenly smiled.

The fight has entered the final stage, and this time it is sure to win.

The torches were lit one by one, and the Tang soldiers rode on horses, holding torches high, and surrounded the Turks in the battle circle, at this time it didn't matter what was exposed, because the Turks had been crushed to the ground, and there were still dozens of Turks wrapped in furs in the circle who were still resisting stubbornly, and the Tang soldiers shrunk the circle smaller and smaller, and they did not directly fight with them on horses, but used halberds to poke them ruthlessly at a distance of more than a zhang, and the bloody slaughter, the picture was shocking.

Li Su stared at it for a long time, and suddenly raised his voice: "Leave a few alive!" ”
