Before it was completely dark, the soldiers and merchants began to build fortifications, and Li Qing'an chose this camp in a very favorable location, with straight and steep cliffs, surrounded by a crescent-shaped valley, although the valley was full of huge stalagmites and stone pillars, but the entrance and exit were very narrow, only five zhang wide, as long as the valley mouth was held, it could effectively resist the attack of the Turgish.

The soldiers of the Tang Army have rich experience in dealing with the Turks, they carry a piece of 100-pound boulder as a barrier stone, arrange three obstacles, and several soldiers sprinkle a few large bags of tribulus thorns within a radius of three miles, which is also a clever means to deal with cavalry, tribulus thorns are four long thorns growing on an iron pill the size of a walnut, and there will always be a spike facing upwards when you scatter it.

Together, they dug three deep trenches filled with sharpened stakes cut from a poplar forest not far away.

It only took two hours for the Tang army's fortifications to be completed, at this time the sky was already dark, the stars were hidden in a layer of light smoke and mist, the bright moon was not yet full, the cold light was shining, the clear light was pouring out, and the moonlight was like light blue flowing water, flowing all over the sky.

Two soldiers climbed to the top of the mountain to stand guard, and the rest of the soldiers were checking their weapons and equipment, dealing with nomads, bows and arrows were the most important, because Li Qing'an came prepared this time, the Tang army was extremely well prepared, they did not use ordinary bows and arrows, but used single bows and crossbows, which is a very powerful bow and crossbow, with a range of one hundred and sixty steps, each carrying five pots of crossbow arrows, and thirty crossbow arrows in one pot, so that more than one hundred Tang troops have more than 15,000 arrows, if it is enough to deal with a squad of turks and horses, But if the Turgish people are attacked by a large group of military horses, it will be a little difficult.

At the beginning of October, more than 1,000 Turks went south from the broken leaves, invaded the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and after being defeated by Gao Xianzhi's army, they disappeared for a winter, and half a month ago, the soldiers of Sulou Fengshu Fort saw more than 1,000 Turks and cavalry, which means that they are here again, as early as a few days ago, Li Qing'an found their traces, and sent two people to rush back to Qiuzi to report to Gao Xianzhi.

At this time, Li Qingan was standing on a high boulder, looking at the end of the night, he was looking for the traces of the Turgish.

"Did General Lee find anything?"

I don't know when, Shi Julan appeared behind Li Qing'an.

"I feel the murderous aura, and the Turgish in the dark are coming at us like wolves."

Li Qing'an's voice was as low as a dream, and his gaze seemed to see through the heavy black fog in the night.

Li Qingan glanced back at her, "Are you scared?" ”

"A little!" Shi Julan lowered her head.

"Uncle Salda said that the Turgish people ravaged our homes like wolves decades ago, killing men and plundering women and children, and the Sogdian blood stained the Pearl River red, and yesterday morning I saw with my own eyes their horror."

Shi Julan bit her lip, she raised her head to look at Li Qing'an, her bright eyes were full of anticipation for him.

Li Qingan gently held her in his arms and whispered softly in her ear: "As long as I am here, I will protect your safety, and I will never allow the Tuqi Shi people to do anything wrong in the land of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Shi Julan's gaze stared at him stupidly, the silver moonlight reflected on her white jade-like face, and her sapphire-like eyes became a little hazy, as if a light veil was enveloped in it.

"The person who taught me Chinese was the princess of Heyi who married Ningyuanguo in the Tang Dynasty, at that time the relationship between Shiguo and Ningyuanguo was very good, I often went to Ningyuanguo to find her, she told me that Datang is the hometown of Tian Khan, the most prosperous and powerful country in the world, with elegant poetry, exquisite porcelain and silk, but today I know that the most desirable thing about Datang is its open-mindedness, from you, I feel this bearing."

Shi Julan lowered her head again, a hint of girlish shyness flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she said in a low voice: "You didn't despise me because I was a Hu person, that day you killed the villain with an arrow, I knew that you actually cared about me very much, and you have always protected me in the dark." ”

"Of course, such a beautiful girl, how can I let the robbers destroy me."

Li Qingan gently held up her chin and looked at her gently, and finally, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her smooth forehead.

"General Lee!" Shi Julan was so excited that she wanted to cry, she hugged his waist violently, "If I really want to die, I'd rather die with you." ”

Li Qing'an did not speak, but lovingly held her in his arms, in his arms, this petite girl trembled like a bird when the catastrophe was about to end, so distressing.

I don't know how long later, Uncle Salda's anxious voice was faintly heard in the distance: "Kulan, where are you?" ”

"Uncle Salda is looking for me, I'll go first." Shi Julan whispered.

"Go ahead! Don't be afraid, go to sleep in peace and continue our journey after dawn. ”

Shi Julan nodded, turned around and ran towards the campsite, but after running a few steps, she stopped again, looked back at Li Qing'an and said affectionately: "General Li, I don't want to die, I want to hold hands with you to meet the morning sun of dawn." ”

After speaking, she ran away quickly, her figure disappeared into the night, Li Qingan's eyes turned into the distance again, and his resolute face was as calm as granite rock.

At this moment, an arrow suddenly shot out from the top of the mountain, making a piercing whistling sound, Li Qing'an stared at the depths of the darkness, his pupils contracted into a line, and his hand gradually tightened the hilt.

．．．．．．．

In the dark, the overwhelming Turgish cavalry rushed to this side of the valley like wolves, the dense sound of horses' hooves shattered the silent night, they were as many as 3,000 people, this is a group of Turgish people surnamed Huang who live in the south of the Broken Leaf River, since last summer, they have repeatedly violated the border of the Tang Dynasty, plundered cattle and sheep population, and made the area around Bahuan City unpeaceful, King Gumo sent people to Anxi Jiedu envoy Meng Lingcha for help.

Fumeng Lingcha generously agreed to exterminate this Turkish, and made Gao Xianzhi fully responsible for this matter, but in winter, the heavy snow closed the road, and the Turkishes returned to the broken leaves, but spring had just come, and this Turkishish began to enter the Tang realm to plunder.

"Rush into the valley and kill everyone except the camels, the riches, and the women!"

With a loud roar from the leader Du Luoxian, the cavalry of the Tuqi Shi swept towards the valley like a violent wind, but soon they ran into trouble, and many of the horses stepped on the thistles on the ground, and the horses neighed to the ground, throwing the cavalry out of the horses, and the screams were continuous.

The sudden change caused the Turgis to immediately slow down their horses, curse in a low voice, and carefully cross the Gobi Desert, which is covered with thistles.

In the valley, the Tang army was already waiting, eighty soldiers with crossbows and arrows to hold the mouth of the valley, while others climbed the steep stone walls on both sides, ready to shoot at the Turgish people from the side.

"Don't worry, the Turks are not good at offensive and defensive battles, let them taste the power of our Tang Army's crossbow arrows tonight." Li Qingan loudly boosted the morale of the soldiers.

"Hold your breath and follow my arrows!"

Li Qing'an won the title of Anxi's first magic arrow within a year, his archery skills are outstanding, not only a hundred shots, but most of them are killed by one arrow, in his military career in the Western Regions this year, the number of turks who died under his arrows is countless.

The moon was clear, and the rocks and Gobi within 200 paces could be seen clearly, only to see a cluster of black shadows surging in this direction, huge rocks and thistles all over the ground hindered their horseback, and the Turks had to give up the advantage on their horses and attack like foot soldiers.

They had no shields, but they had bows and arrows in their hands, long and short weapons, and most of them wore leather armor, some strong, some tall, all with fierce faces, and their eyes were full of yearning for wealth and women.

The black crowd poured over the stone formations towards the mouth of the valley, and as they ran, they released arrows, which whistled and flew onto the cover boulders of the Tang army.

Li Qing'an's longbow slowly drew into a full moon, and his nickname was engraved on the long shaft: 'Lingshan Blood Arrow', and the wolf's tooth arrow under the moonlight flashed a bright light, like a grim smile of death.

The arrow shot out like lightning, 'Pounce! A thud shot through the eye of one of the Centurions of the Turk, the arrow pierced through the back of his head, and the centurion screamed and was firmly nailed to the ground.

Li Qing'an shot an arrow is a military order, the Tang soldiers have shot crossbow arrows, arrows like dense rain, suddenly rushed to the front of more than 30 Turks fell to the ground with arrows, screams again and again, the sudden attack of the enemy did not weaken the offensive, the back of the Turks continued to rush forward, they released arrows, while shouting, at this time a Tang army was shot in the head by a stray arrow, screamed and died, but immediately another person came up to fill his position, the second round of arrow rain shot, The leather armor of the Tuqi Shi people could not resist the powerful piercing arrows of the Tang army, and more than 30 people fell to the ground after being hit by the arrows.

This time, the Tuqi Shi people were scared, and the more than 100 people behind shouted and turned around and ran, and a few who ran slowly also died under the arrows of the Tang army.

The battlefield fell silent for a moment.
