Volume 11 The Storm in the Western Regions Chapter 13 The Trap

"Withdraw ......" Li Kuan shouted loudly, this was a trap, a game set up by Xue Yantuo and the Turks, in order to lure them out. Li Kuan never thought that these two parties would be so decisive, the previous battles were all real swords and real guns, without the slightest moisture, the smell of blood that could not be concealed in this heavy rain is the best proof, the mottled blood stains on the ground, witnessing the tragic battle that took place before. But who would have thought that all this was just to lure the snake out of the hole? All this is to lure Li Kuan and them out of the shadows.

There has never been a shortage of wise men among Xue Yantuo and the Turks, they can be troubled for a long time at the border of the Tang Dynasty, how can they be ordinary rabble? As early as when the colorful wolf eagle was first obtained, these wise men who had completed most of their lives saw the strangeness, because the colorful sculpture brought by Hu Shang in the Western Regions is really a lot of loopholes, such an outstanding work of art, no matter where it will definitely be sought after, why risk being swallowed by the wind and sand all the way, the danger of being killed by bandits, thousands of miles away to the Tang Dynasty? And as a farming nation, the Tang Dynasty does not believe in the creature of wolves, and their totem is the divine dragon, so they began to doubt at that moment, but they did not have a suitable foothold and could not overturn this statement.

After that, the strange gathering of various forces on the grassland made them feel completely strange, because they believed that the sculpture like such an ingenious artwork was definitely not something that could be mass-produced, because no matter how good the carving was, it was able to carve such a divine wolf with such charm, but the colorful glass of the material was not so easy to obtain, so it was a blessing to have one. If there are a few more, then there will definitely be a fraud. Therefore, for the various tribes on the steppe, they are constantly gathering their own supporters. These people saw the extraordinary, so they began to communicate with each other. After some tentative contact, they came to the conclusion that behind all this, there is a force pushing it.

This force is hidden in the shadows, but what is it for the purpose of launching such a few statues like gods? Coupled with the current situation on the grassland, they boldly guessed that the purpose of this force was that the major tribes on the grassland were fighting each other and killing each other. Then they stepped up and profited. As soon as this inference came out, they immediately knew who was the dominant person behind all this, because there were not many people or forces with such abilities, and the closest to them was the super empire that was rising rapidly - Li Tang.

Therefore, the Turks and Xue Yantuo, the two most powerful representatives of the two most powerful forces in the steppe, one side represents the originally powerful old powers: the Xue Yantuo and the Qixin tribe, and the other side represents the emerging tribes: the Turks and the Uighurs. They decided to lure the snake out of the hole. And so the battle broke out without warning, in this heavy rain, not under this thunder and lightning, only in this case. Let the rain obscure the other side's view and make them unaware that their deployment will achieve the greatest results. And they don't expect to deceive each other without blood, so they arranged countless death squads, which was for Li Kuan to see. These people traded their lives for the trust of the Tang army hidden in the shadows. Use their blood to convince the Tang army that they are really fighting. In order to gather these people, the two great forces in the steppe promised a lot of benefits to their tribes. So this scene was extraordinarily realistic, and countless blood finally lured out the hidden enemy at the cost of blood.

"Withdraw...... It's a trap! When Li Kuan came back to his senses. The entire team was completely encircled by Xue Yantuo and the Turks. All around were leather-clad enemies, and their longbows shot countless arrows. Shooting straight at them, the shining arrows shooting through drops of rain. Then with the power of piercing the golden cracking stone, it shot at the body of the Tang Soldier Gate. The war horses under them were even more taken care of, and countless arrows completely pierced the body of the war horses, endless blood splattered out, staining the rain curtain around them, and the heavy rain that was originally white became scarlet and dazzling at this time. The smell of blood is even more disgusting. All this turned in an instant, and the Tang army fell into a complete desperate situation.

"Kill out, with the ...... of Ben General" Li Kuan shouted loudly, but his voice was so small at this time, although he had tried his best, but the endless howls around him, the sorrow of countless war horses, all covered his voice in it and could not be transmitted at all.

"Ah......" Endless regret filled Li Kuan's heart, his heart was completely occupied by this remorse, this was his decision-making mistake, which made the thousands of men in Datang fall into today's desperate situation, this is that he didn't think about it clearly, and his heart was soft for a while, so that this operation failed completely, Xue Yantuo may be destroyed in the end, but the dead warriors can never go back, the land that gave birth to them, the family that they were looking forward to, they will never see each other again. So he was so sad and indignant that his heart was dripping blood.

The anger that filled his heart made his eyes bloodshot, and his entire eyes turned blood-red, as if he was crawling out of hell, these people were given to him by Li Er, and now he was completely buried in this grassland because of his momentary decision-making mistakes, all of which were his mistakes. He couldn't forgive himself, and he couldn't forgive these enemies, the spear in his hand turned into the blade of a meat grinder at this moment, and endless silver light burst out in his hand, like a life-threatening light, and a little blood bloomed with each shot, but there were so many enemies around him, he couldn't kill them all, all of them were enemies, all of them were hateful eyes. The spear in his hand didn't know how many lives had been taken, and how many arrows had been blocked, but the enemies around him had not decreased at all, more and more, more and more heavy sense of oppression, and the endless death did not make these Xue Yantuo people feel afraid, they all risked their lives to completely kill this poisonous snake that had been in the dark.

"General, we have no regrets, you can go by yourself, they can't stop you!" The soldiers around him shouted to Li Kuan, they have long put life and death out of the way, as early as when Li Er pulled them out of their respective armies, they knew that one day they would die on the battlefield, this is the best destination for warriors, this is the supreme glory, but they also have endless regrets in their hearts, they did not see the Tang Dynasty Xue Yantuo completely defeated and conquered.

"No, I will bring you out, I will bring you back, now follow in my footsteps, no one can let us give up, even if the enemy is far more than us, but we are the most elite soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, invincible and invincible, it is we who are invincible, they want to keep us here is far from enough, how can this person be enough for us to kill, we want to make this grassland completely become no man's land!" Li Kuan shouted loudly, he now only has the experience of killing the enemy in front of him, only by completely breaking out of the enemy's encirclement, can he hope to escape, the war horse is gone, you can rob it, there are many war horses on the grassland, as long as the people are still there, then it is not too late.

"Follow the general to the death!" A general who is willing to live and die with the soldiers can best obtain the loyalty of the soldiers, at this moment, although the first object of allegiance in the heart of this army is still Li Er, it is the Tang Dynasty, but Li Kuan's status is rising in a straight line, this is the third army in Li Kuan's hands, and it is also the third army loyal to him.

"Use explosives!" Li Kuan ordered that the use of explosives in this heavy rain may not have a good effect, but in this situation, there is not the slightest hope of escaping if it is not used, so it must be used when it should be used, and no matter how much it is wasted, it cannot be tolerated.

"Yes!" This time, Li Kuan's explosives prepared by them are more advanced, no longer using insidious explosive packs, because in the heavy rain, the lead of such an explosive pack will not burn if it is soaked by rain, so it is a grenade, and the built-in lighter device is actually not difficult, borrowing from the ignition method of matches, on the pull ring is a rough sandpaper, and the other end is a fixed red phosphorus connected to the lead, but the lead is in the cover of the handle that will not be wet. Now this explosive bag has completely evolved into a grenade for later generations.

One by one, the iron lumps were thrown out directly, and these most elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were all strong and strong, although they were completely surrounded by the enemy at this time, and they had been fighting with each other for a long time, but they still threw the grenades, which weighed only a few kilograms, out of a long distance.

"Boom...... Boom ......" The sound of explosions at this moment was like a thunderbolt in the sky and directly chopped down, completely shocking everyone's ears on this battlefield, one by one the blazing fires flashed away, and then the iron slag that flew out violently was like a sharp flying knife, and hideous fangs appeared in all directions, and at this moment all the Turks and the war horses under Xue Yantuo immediately panicked. For at this moment none of the horses had been trained to make such violent noises, they all spread their hooves and ran wildly.

"Opportunity...... Kill me out! When Li Kuan saw such a situation, his eyes suddenly lit up, and countless soldiers behind him all followed him and rushed out. In front of him, the Turks have been in a panic, they have not experienced the battlefield of gunpowder, but Li Kuan and they have already stuffed cotton in the ears of the war horses before rushing over, and they have been doing relevant training along the way, and now they are controlling their own war horses can still maintain the original formation, although many war horses are full of arrows, but there are not many war horses that have been shot to death, and they can still run. And the soldiers did not lose much after defending against the initial wave of arrows after losing hundreds of people at the beginning, and now although this team has lost a lot of personnel, most of them are only injured and have not lost their combat effectiveness.
