With one hundred and fifty carts of grain and grass, three hundred war horses, and three hundred pack horses, the Great Song Dynasty envoys confidently set foot on the flat and barren land of the Western Regions.

After receiving this news, the Horse Thieves Alliance and the Five Hundred Heavenly Mountain Iron Cavalry all left their garrisons and galloped towards the ideal battlefield in their minds.

And at this time, Bai Qi also left the lair with all the black eagle horse thieves and disappeared into the vast Gobi Desert.

In the center of the Gobi Desert at the junction of the Western Xia, Western Liao, Tubo, and Mongolian countries, there is a flat wasteland with a radius of hundreds of miles.

The days on the Gobi Desert are scorchingly hot, but the nights are bitterly cold.

The Great Song envoys formed a chariot formation on the endless Gobi Desert, lit a bonfire, and soon the smell of food rose in the camp.

More than ten miles away from the camp of the Great Song Dynasty envoys, nearly 3,000 horse thieves and 500 Tianshan iron horsemen were facing each other from afar.

Although the number of people is smaller, the more powerful one is the five hundred Tianshan Iron Horsemen in neat clothes and armor.

As a descendant of the Protectorate of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, the Tianshan faction has never abandoned the method of military training, and the 3,000 Tianshan Iron Cavalry is the real reliance to ensure the survival of hundreds of thousands of Han descendants on both sides of the Tianshan Mountains.

The three thousand horse thieves were as inferior and obscene as beggars in front of this powerful northwest iron horseman.

In the middle of the two opposing cavalry, the leader of seven or eight horse thieves stood respectfully in front of two middle-aged men in majestic armor.

One of the two men, tall and burly, was dressed in silver armor, and his face under the shiny silver helmet was ancient and majestic. He held a spear made of pure steel in one hand and a tall white war horse in the other, and strangely his two hands shone with a strange golden light in the light of the light of the moon. It seems to be gilded with a layer of gold paint.

The other man was a little shorter, but as strong as a bear. His face was rough and resolute, and his black iron armor made him even more powerful. He was holding his jet-black war horse with one hand empty, and two huge swords were hanging in front of the saddle of the war horse.

The black wolf looked up at the tall man's shimmering golden hand and the pair of broadswords on the short man's warhorse, lowered his head again, and listened carefully to the tall man's commanding words, "...... We will attack on the fourth watch, and your men will take the lead, and I will send some masters to knock out their torches and plunge the battlefield into darkness. Although the army of the Song Dynasty is not worth mentioning, their strong crossbows cannot be underestimated. My men will strike at critical times and deliver a fatal blow to the opponent. ”

After listening to this man's words, the horse thieves all lowered their heads and did not say a word, it seemed to be a silent protest, and they only dared to express their dissatisfaction like this, in the Western Regions, few people dared to disobey the orders of the head of the Tianshan faction in person.

Watch the horse thieves protest silently. Wu Feng, the head of the Tianshan faction, smiled slightly and said, "We are not interested in the gold, silver and jewelry brought by the envoys, we only need a few martial arts cheats in the tribute, and a few treasure swords and divine bows." Everything else is yours. ”

Hearing this, the leaders of the horse thieves all raised their heads in surprise, and the big boss of the golden scorpion reacted the fastest. said: "Master Wu, please rest assured, our Golden Scorpion people will definitely obey your command." ”

The other horse thieves also hurriedly obeyed. No one questioned Wu Feng's words, because. Even if the Tianshan faction did not pull out a dime, they would not dare to disobey the requirements of the head of the Tianshan faction.

The leaders of these horse thieves would rather fight out the horse thieves under their command than offend the Tianshan faction. After fighting all the horse thieves, there is still a chance to make a comeback, offending the Tianshan faction, and there will be no place for them in the northwest land.

Wu Feng nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and asked the leaders of the horse thieves to leave and go back to reorganize the team, and he and his senior brother Qu Ao also returned to the Five Hundred Heavenly Mountain Iron Cavalry.

On the fourth watch, when the night was at its thickest, nearly 3,000 horse thieves divided into four groups and touched the position less than two miles near the Great Song Dynasty car formation from four directions.

With a terrible howl, the horse thieves from all directions charged at the same time.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves suddenly woke up the camp in the distance, and in the shouts of the sentinels, the camp woke up in an instant, and dozens of torches that had already been planted in the cart were all ignited in a short time, and in the center of the camp, the three piles of firewood that had already been drenched with grease were also ignited at the same time.

The firewood was deliberately collected by the convoy along the way, and was piled up in the center of the convoy every night.

About a mile away from the car formation, there was a sand dune, and five hundred elite Tianshan Iron Cavalry had already lurked behind the dunes, and Wu Feng and Qu Ao were lying on the sand dunes and observing the battlefield.

The two looked at the three fires in the middle of the convoy, apparently surprised.

According to their battle plan, at the beginning of the battle, they will destroy the opponent's torches as soon as possible, plunging the battle into darkness.

On the one hand, this is to give full play to the strength of horse thieves in chaotic warfare, but more importantly, to reduce the advantage of the Song soldiers' strong crossbows. Shooting in the dark and aiming and shooting were not the same concept at all, but these three fires completely disrupted their plans.

The horse thieves rushed towards the car formation like a torrent, and when they were still dozens of meters away from the car formation, these horse thieves suddenly adjusted their direction at the same time and ran in a circle around the car formation.

Some of the horse thieves rushed close to the cart and threw Tiger Claws at the cart, the rear ends of which were tied to their horses.

Some of the horse thieves drew their short bows and fired at the inside of the formation.

And among these horse thieves were dozens of people in armor, these people were the elite of the Tianshan Iron Cavalry, they held throwing guns in their hands, staring at the chariot formation, looking for this opportunity.

As the horse thieves approached the car formation, the sound of heavy crossbow ejection also sounded in the car formation, and a large number of horse thieves screamed and fell off their horses, being trampled into meat by their companions behind them.

Some of the horses had lost their owners, but their long ropes were attached to the tiger's claws, pulling the wagons that surrounded the carts, and the soldiers in the carts had to aim their crossbows at the horses, and if they were not shot, it would be a disaster if the carts were broken.

The Tien Shan cavalry, who were mixed in with the horse thieves, finally attacked, and their target was not people, but torches on the carriages.

After a javelin salvo, at least half of the torches were knocked to the ground.

After three volleys, all the torches on the carriage were knocked down, and the light on the battlefield became dim, but fortunately three campfires provided light and did not plunge the battlefield into complete darkness.

After the light dimmed, the crossbows of the Song soldiers were no longer what they used to be, and some horse thieves once again rushed close to the chariot formation under the threat of the leader, throwing out flying tiger grabs one by one, and turning around and slamming the horses.

Finally, more than a dozen large cars were pulled to the ground and pulled away from their original positions, and the car formation finally showed a gap.

A group of elite horse thieves, led by the leader, launched a charge towards the gap in the chariot formation.

Most of these thieves were shot off their horses with crossbows, but nearly half of them also rushed into the formation.

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by these people rushing into the car formation, more horse thieves rushed close to the car formation, threw out the flying tiger claws, and pulled away more carts...... (To be continued......)
