The reason why the moon is dark and the wind is high is that the whereabouts can be effectively concealed with the help of such an environment, that is, some dirty things that cannot be seen can be hidden, and after the matter is completed, you can also gently wave your sleeves and float away, leaving no traces and not staining cause and effect. It is a necessary day for home travel and killing.

Whether the night in the Western Regions is darker than the night in the Central Plains is not well judged in Qincheng, but the west wind in the Western Regions is definitely more violent than in the Central Plains - of course, it is not high. When the wind is high, people can't feel it, and only when the wind is very low, can people feel it more realistically.

Qin Cheng was not surprised when the sound of galloping horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the distance, whether it was the implementation of the established strategy or the previous raider's report, Qin Cheng had already known the inevitable arrival of this cavalry.

Qin Cheng jumped down from the tree and spit out the grass stalks in his mouth. When he landed, the fifty soldiers got up one after another, as if they had received an order, untied the reins of the horses tied to the trees, and then moved quickly and neatly as if they had been rehearsed countless times, and mounted their horses and lined up.

"Don't line up, just run!" Qin Cheng turned over and got on his horse and conveyed instructions to his own soldiers.

Those Loulan officials who had not known that there would be an unknown cavalry attack, were awakened by the movements of the Han army, and when they opened their hazy eyes and had not yet figured out the situation, the fifty soldiers had already begun to gallop with Qin Cheng and others, which made these officials completely ignorant. And it can also be seen from this how fast Qin Cheng and the others are.

"General, General! Where are you going? The officials were keenly aware of the unusual things that were going on, and they looked at the Hun cavalry that had already flashed their torches and ran over, and said in a panic: "Who are those?" ”

"The Huns are coming, if you run slowly, ask for more blessings!" Qin Cheng didn't look back, accompanied by the sound of galloping horses' hooves, his voice sounded particularly disturbing to these Loulan officials.

"Wait! Great generals and so on! "The Loulan officials still want to say something, but Qin Cheng and the others have already gone away, and their words can't be exchanged for a response at all.

The officials who knew that the big thing was bad hurriedly went to untie the reins of the horses, but when they were about to keep up with Qin Cheng and the others, the Hun cavalry had already rushed to the front. If you are flustered, you will be chaotic, and if you are chaotic, you will be unfavorable, these Loulan officials who are in a good state of mind can still step on the war horse, and those who are in a bad mood have not even had time to untie the reins of the war horse.

However, whether it is an official who has already mounted a war horse, or an official who has not even untied the reins, in front of the Hun cavalry whose speed has reached the peak, they can only face the same fate: death!

Without saying a word, the Hun cavalry rushed past them like lightning, while the swords and spears of the sergeants passed through the front chests of these officers and peeked out from behind, poking them out of their horses and slamming them to the ground, whether they lived or died, but trampled their horses' hooves over them, splashing blood mixed with minced flesh.

The flesh and blood were hidden in the night, submerged in the rotten leaves of the earth, and became a part of the night, a part of the land, and returned to peace.

These poor Loulan officials may not have fully understood what happened when they were dead, and many of them only had time to let out a dying scream. Although these screams infiltrated in the dark night, they could not affect the determined and targeted Hun cavalry, let alone disrupt their pace. And the only thing these dead Loulan officials can be sure of is that they were abandoned by the pre-Qin city and then beheaded by the Hun cavalry.

If there is anything else, it is that they still know that they died unjustly. But unfortunately, this silent night, the familiar or unfamiliar stars above their heads, will not cry out for them, let alone wash away their grievances.

The only one who can help them is themselves, but unfortunately they are dead, so no one in this world can be responsible for their deaths, not even the king of Loulan on top of them.

Among the Hun cavalry who did not regard these Loulan officials as obstacles at all and galloped by, two people running in front glanced at each other at this time.

These two people are the diametrically opposite Xike Chafu and Guludu.

One skinny one looks malnourished, and the other strong one doesn't.

Xike teaman looked at Gu Lu to say that he had not deceived him, and the Han envoy was indeed here. Gulu looked at Xike Tea Man to express his appreciation for him, as well as to recognize his credit.

The Han envoys are close at hand, and it is impossible for the bones who have shown murderous intent to let them go. However, in Guludu's opinion, the vigilance of the Han envoy is not bad, and he can start running away before they can kill them. However, if these Han envoys could not do this, Gulu would still find it strange - after all, the leader of the Han envoys was Qin Cheng.

Whether it was approaching, galloping, killing and pursuing, the cavalry led by Guludu did not make the slightest superfluous sound. There was no howl, no shouting, and even the sergeants in the front team drew their knives and spears, and they could only hear the sound of metal grinding and the air being torn.

Silence and silence are the qualities that an assassination team should have, especially when this team is still on the enemy's territory, especially at this sensitive time, a little carelessness may be annoying. Once there is trouble, there is no other possibility, it can only be a catastrophe.

The terrain in the territory of Loulan has mountains and plains, and there are mountains and flats, and there must be hills. On this night when the stars are scarce, the two cavalry teams in front of the other and the latter galloped recklessly on the grasslands on the edge of the forest, and no one left any strength. It's like two long dragons, competing for speed and patience.

Qin Cheng didn't look back at the pursuers behind him, because he didn't need to look at him to know that the pursuers of Guludu would not be more than a mile away from them. But according to the speed of his own war horses, as long as there is no accident, Gulu will never be able to catch up with him for a while.

The speed of the Xiongnu's horses is not so fast, but the endurance is excellent, if it is a long race, Qin Cheng and the others will be caught up sooner or later.

Fifty against a thousand, if you are caught up, there will be no second ending.

Anyone knows this truth, so Gu Ludu's eyes are hot. He knew what was in front of him, it was not just fifty lives, but also the greatest glory for a Hun soldier, with Yi Zhixian's absolute appreciation, and the imminent annexation of the Loulan Kingdom.

Although Gu Ludu's heart was agitated, his movements were not in a hurry. He knew that this game of cat and mouse would not end anytime soon, but the end was doomed.

Feeling the cold wind on his face, he wanted to laugh out loud.

But soon, he found that he had no such impulse. Not only did he not want to laugh anymore, but he also wanted to scold his mother.

The charm of the night is that you never know what will happen in the next moment before Li Min. Because under the cover of darkness, everything is unknown.

When the Xiongnu team pursuing the Han envoys marched for a distance of about twenty or thirty miles, when Guludu's heart was full of ambition for victory, on their flanks, in those dark forests, countless torches suddenly appeared.

With the sound of the flame on the torches, the five hundred cavalry stepped out of the darkness, and the iron hooves of the horses crushed the weeds under their feet and dug up a handful of dirt.

If you want to use a specific image to compare the five hundred cavalry that suddenly appeared in the forest, then these Hun cavalry will definitely not hesitate to say two words: ghosts!

Only ghosts can appear so mysteriously, and they can bring a chilling murderous aura at every turn.

"There's an ambush!"

"There are ambushes!"

"Everyone, be careful!"

“......”

In the dark night, the flag language could not be used, and the only way to transmit military orders was to shout loudly except for horns.

But even without shouting, these Hun cavalry knew what was happening, and five hundred torches gathered together and rushed out of the flanks with the collapse of mountains and rivers, and no one's eyes could not be attracted.

The shouts of the Hun army rose and fell.

But that's all, the military formation was not chaotic.

After the first round of warnings passed, Gu Ludu, whose face was gloomy, had already decisively issued a military order: "Fight!" ”

The cavalry must have a distance to accumulate speed in order to attack, so it is impossible to lie in ambush close to the road like the infantry, so even if the terrain is chosen, it will take some time for the five hundred cavalry to attack the team of Guludu.

These times may not even be enough for the average cavalry to react, but for the team of Guludu, for a team that is not in the slightest bit chaotic in formation, it is enough for them to respond.

Although this response is unlikely to change the situation of attack and reception, at least it can be less reactive.

The long knife studded with precious stones glittered in the firelight, and the light reflected in his eyes made his eyes even more terrifying.

After the military order to meet the battle was issued, the military formation behind Guludu had begun to change. But Guludu himself had no intention of stopping the battle, and he issued a second military order one after another: "Front team, attack with me!" ”

Regardless of whether there is an ambush or not, Gulu knows that the key point of victory and defeat in this battle has not changed: whether he can successfully kill the Han envoy and rescue Princess Yixue!

Therefore, Guludu's battle order is obviously just for the rear team to drag down the ambush that has no reason to appear here, but it does appear here, and his second military order is the most important thing.

And what prompted him to make this military order was not only that he had strategic intentions, but also that at this time, Gu Lu had already seen that the Han cavalry team of more than 50 people who were still fleeing before already had a tendency to kill back the horse pistol at this time!

So no matter what, Gulu must give military orders like this.

At this time, Gu Ludu finally realized that he was probably jumping into a trap dug for himself!

And the digger of this trap is the young man - Siko Teaman!

Gu Lu didn't want to admit this fact from the bottom of his heart, because that young man was obviously a Loulan person, and he was obviously an ordinary Loulan person! At best, a man with more courage and a stronger desire for wealth, how could he have the wisdom to dig a trap for himself?

And when the Siko Teaman turned back to search for the Siko Teaman, he was finally willing to admit that he had indeed been deceived by this guy!

Because the Sico teaman is gone!
