That's what they said, and in fact they had already done so, and all the 8,000 men and horses belonging to Heida of the Ebi Land Department pursued to the southern shore of Lake Balkhash, while Ashina Desire Valley also recruited soldiers and horses from those small tribes in the upper reaches of the Shaye River and the Ili River to be the follow-up force of Heida.

This is an encirclement and suppression operation that everyone is watching, the first two confrontations between the Yibi Lu Department and the Tang Tianshan Mu are too embarrassing, if you want to be ashamed, you can only wipe out these three hundred people, and none of them can go back.

A medium-sized impact on Alashankou could not bear to tear the skin with Xizhou, and the credentials submitted to Chang'an were tantamount to putting the unhappiness of both sides on the bright side. No matter how Chang'an replied - whether it was good or bad, these three hundred people of Tianshan Mu must die!

Officials at all levels in Shattered Leaf City were mobilized to go deep into the small tribes that had not been valued by Ashina Desire Valley in the past, and some of the smallest tribes, including men, women, and children, had only one or two hundred people, and they also had to pay for them.

Until now, most of these small tribes in the upper reaches of the Ili River and the Shaye River have not known about the grievances between the Yibi Lu and the Tang Tianshan Mu. The reason why they sent troops, in addition to the obligations arising from belonging, was also because of fear - Ashina Desire Valley Khan they could not afford to provoke.

The southern shore of Lake Balkhash is a vast desert where anything that appears here is in full view. Gao Jun had been fighting these men on the east bank of the Ili River, which emptied Lake Balkhash less than 100 miles to the west. There is water and grass here, which provides sufficient supplies for the small team of Tianshan Mu.

However, as most of the Ebiru land division continued to advance, the room for maneuver became smaller and smaller. If he is not moved, he will be squeezed by the incoming enemy in the triangle of Lake Balkhash and the Ili River. That night, when many people asked if they wanted to camp on the spot, Master Gao said, "Let's go all night and jump to the west of the river." ”

In this season, the hot summer in the upper reaches of the Ili River is coming to an end, and the snow that melts down the high mountains around Atami has been absorbed by the arid desert for nearly 700 miles, taken by herdsmen along the way, and evaporated by the unobstructed sunlight, and when it reaches the lower reaches of the Ili River, the water potential is no longer grand, and the river is half a mile wide, and the deepest part is only beyond the back of the horses.

Master Gao said that it would not be a problem for these people and horses to wade across the river at night.

There was a small north wind that night, and the moonlight was dim. The distant eastern horizon shimmered with sparkling firelight, stretching from south to north, overlapping and overlapping, like a string of fireflies flying in the night, which was the camp of the pursuers of the Epira Continent. They seem to have the chance to win, step by step, little by little.

These people took off the cowhide armor on the people and horses, rolled up their lower clothes with cow blankets, or carried them with weapons, or simply held them on their shoulders, and rode into the river.

The river was not cold, and the standard-bearer and another man rode in front, and the two men carried more than a dozen pairs of cowhide armor with the flagpole. Yak leather armor is very tough, but when soaked in water, it will not be able to wear it due to the reduction in size. Even after drying, it will lose its flexibility, so when crossing the river, leather armor should be focused on protection.

After the half-pillar incense, the leading men and horses had already come ashore, and they did not have time to put on their clothes and leather armor, so they first set up a defense on the periphery of the river bank a hundred paces. The follow-up people arrived on the other side of the bank in twos and threes, and soon dressed neatly. And the suede of the yak blanket was used to dry the water stains on the horses, and then the vests were put on them.

Then they found that Master Gao and Siqing had not crossed the river, and there were two blurred figures standing on the other side of the river, not knowing what they were discussing. The flag bearer waved the flag of Tianshan Pastoral on the opposite bank with a white background and a black background, which was quite eye-catching in the night. He was asking about the next step for the tall man. The tall man whistled to tell them: hide, camp.

Siqing was a little difficult, she only had this set of coats, tight breeches and soft leather boots on her lower body, although it was night, she was not too embarrassed to take off her breeches to cross the river, so how to go ashore? On this expedition, she only brought one more cloth package than others, and only brought two underwear inside. If you don't take it off, you will be dressed in wet clothes after going ashore, which is obviously not good.

Master Gao thought about it, and looked at his own people, these days people are running around, and the other party is sleeping in the tent at this time, and his heart is a little unbalanced. At this moment, the hour is approaching, the wind is rushing, and those people should sleep soundly. He thought that it was still feasible for the two of them to add some chaos to the Yibi Lu Division.

The two hit it off, arranged for the herdsmen to cross the river, and let them camp in seclusion, and the two of them rode their horses and galloped all the way in the direction of the camp of the Ebiru land.

As they approached the camp, the two slowed down their horses, and their hooves did not make a sound when they stepped on the soft sand. They chose the middle of the enemy blockade, with a bright torch planted outside the outermost tent, and two soldiers from the Epiru Army were sitting by the tent door to take shelter from the wind. The tall man rode past them, but did not wake them.

Gao Jun didn't get off the horse, so he immediately picked up the halberd, and a halberd stabbed a person in the throat, and when he pulled it out, the moon sickle on the side of the halberd cut the neck of a person next to him, and the action was not muddy. When the second man fell, the halberd also slightly supported him to prevent him from making a sound of falling to the ground.

Siqing's horse paced out of the shadows, and she gently pulled out the torch from the tent door and gave a thumbs up to the tall man. There was still a tent behind the tent, and the shaking of the firelight obviously alarmed the people on night duty there, and some people jumped up and shouted in a deep voice, and the footsteps were soon heard.

Gao Jun didn't understand his words, but Siqing understood, she threw the torch to the top of the tent and motioned for Gao to leave quickly. By this time the two men had already screamed, and they ran past the tent, and saw the flames rising at the top, and saw a man and a woman riding horses, and turning to the back of another tent.

Gao Jun and Siqing Pegasus passed through enemy tents, and there were usually two people on duty in front of each tent, and the two cooperated tacitly to solve one by one, Siqing picked up the torch next to the door and dropped it under the tent with a knife, and Gao Jun put the halberd on the top of the tent and pulled it down with the power of the charcoal fire.

The sleeping people in the tent heard the shouts of the people in the cold wind pouring in from outside the tent, and they all got up to grab their weapons, and Gao Jun and Siqing ran to another tent. Oil-coated torches that fell to the ground set the scattered tents on fire, and the wind lit up the camp with the help of the fire.

Soon the voices of the people became noisy, people were running everywhere, and the horses were alarmed, asking and cursing everywhere. But Gao Jun and the others had already disappeared into the darkness and ran to the next camp in the south of the Ebiru Continent. They stopped sneaking and passed directly through the middle of the tents, and while the tall man poked and stabbed those tents with his halberd, Siqing shouted, "Oh no, Tianshan Mu has attacked the camp in the north!" ”

The first person to run out of the tent saw two people riding south, and it was the person who had just reported the news. No one doubted their shouts, the northerners shouted that the horses were neighing and the flames were soaring, and everyone could smell the scorching smoke in the wind! They didn't have time to assemble their ranks, so they got on their horses and went to support.

Eighty miles upstream from the place where the herding team crossed the river, Gao Jun and Siqing came to the river in the starry night. Behind him, the ignorant guys in the Yibi Land Department were already in a mess, and the faint north wind transmitted the sound of fighting.

Master Gao was happy, took off his two vests, took off his pants again, and said to Siqing, "I'll camel you across the river." (To be continued.) )
