c_t; Fang Ruitao raised his eyes, but found that the big man who saved him was his second brother Xiao Jinchen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info (I haven't seen Xiao Jinchen for half a year, he has grown a lot taller, the wind and frost and experience of the prairie have made him seem to be much more mature, and his strength has also reached the rank of a fourth-grade martial artist in the tempering of life and death again and again, but what he is wielding in his hand is still the pure steel broken gold knife that Fang Ruitao gave him when they met him for the first time.

"Second brother, why are you here, is Yue Yun here too?" Seeing Xiao Jinchen and Fang Ruitao, he was overjoyed, once his all-round cavalry wing arrived, that group of Chagatai cavalry would be in trouble.

Xiao Jinchen smiled at Fang Ruitao, and then shook his head and said: "It's not so fast, they are a large army moving slowly, and I came in advance in the name of reporting and investigating, Yue Yun also knew that I was in a hurry, he lent me all his mounts, and I was exhausted to death on the way." I had exhausted three cloud horses day and night before I could arrive at this time, otherwise it would have taken me a day or two. ”

Fang Ruitao nodded: "As long as Yue Yun has news, it will be a big help for you to come, I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for a few months, your strength has actually improved, and you have improved faster than me." ”

Xiao Jinchen said with a smile: "I have lived and died on the prairie several times, if it weren't for Eleanor to take care of me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get this life back." If it doesn't go faster, I won't have to live reads;. ”

Xiao Jinchen said lightly, but Fang Ruitao knew that things were not that simple, otherwise the border gates would not be masters everywhere. Xiao Jinchen must have suffered unimaginably from ordinary people, and his talent is also outstanding, so he can improve so quickly.

As they spoke, they retreated from a distance of several hundred meters in fear of the Chagatai people, and waited until those Chagatai people realized that they could not catch up, after all, on the rugged mountain road, the cavalry did not dare to raise their speed too much.

Fang Ruitao and the others finally retreated, and at this time, all the combatable soldiers of the Dragon Soul Legion had already gathered on Gaoyang Hill, and they set up their positions to prepare for the final hold.

"They can't be allowed to rest and continue to attack. De'ang's eyes were red and he said: "We must destroy them as soon as possible, otherwise once the other party's reinforcements arrive, we will die without a place to bury." "The strong combat power of the Dragon Soul Legion has already terrified all the Chagatai officers, and now it is not a matter for them to break through the Dragon Soul Legion's blocking and enter the inland to plunder. Even if they turn around and go back now, they are afraid that they will be pursued by their tails and cause a great rout on their own side, and they are already riding tigers.

Originally, the idea of the Chagatai people was to break into the interior of the Longxiao Empire as quickly as possible, loot as quickly as possible, and then retreat to the Flail Blue Pass to hold on, so that they could not only obtain a large number of supplies and slaves, but also obtain a barrier to resist the attack of the Longxiao Empire, but now they have been delayed in Gaoyangqiu for too long, not to mention looting, it is already a problem how to return to the Flail Blue Pass safely.

Although Marshal Gamudi, who had already improved, his battle spirit was still unusable, there was no problem in discussing the matter in the big tent, and at this moment he also frowned and pondered the next step of deployment: "The offensive really needs to continue, we must not relax at all, we must destroy this small force before the reinforcements from the Longxiao Empire arrive, and then the whole army will withdraw to the Blue Pass as quickly as possible." ”

"What? Retreat?" a captain suddenly stood up and said, "Your Excellency Marshal, we have suffered so many casualties, can we just go back? ”

Marshal Gamudi sighed: "What is the reason for such a small army, holding on to a place where there is absolutely no hope of holding out? Do you think their brains are burned out? They must be waiting for something, waiting for the hope of victory." Only the hope of victory is the motivation for them to hold on, and their purpose is very simple, rely on reinforcements to surround us and leave all the Chagatai warriors behind. Marshal Gamudi's words made everyone gasp, if their purpose was really this, then the commander of this force had a lot of intentions, and he was decisive enough, to dare to let such a small army take risks.

De'ang said: "I very much agree with the marshal's words, now we want to protect ourselves, not plunder. Let's take a long-term view, as long as the flail is in our hands, we can invade the Longxiao Empire at any time, so why rush. ”

"Didn't I see a regular army of the Dragon Xiao Empire yesterday, but those people didn't dare to engage in battle at all, but fled without a fight, what is so terrible about these guys?" said another Wanshu Commander in a loud voice.

Abda sneered: "Do you think they really don't dare to engage in battle? Those people didn't dare to engage in the battle, I think it was because their reinforcements didn't arrive, they didn't want us to retreat, they wanted to annihilate us completely. ”

"Abda is right, so we must annihilate the troops in front of us as soon as possible, and then retreat quickly. De'ang also expressed his support.

Marshal Gamudi nodded and said: "This battle has the full command of De'ang, everyone must go all out, everyone must understand one thing, this is our battle of life and death, and it must not be a child's play." ”

"Yes, Marshal. Several captains agreed in unison.

"Don't these guys need to sleep?" Xiao Jinchen slashed a Chagatai cavalryman who rushed up with a knife, and cursed, he had been slashing and killing for four hours in a row, and it was already dark at this time, but the Chagatai people still showed no sign of retreating.

"Attention of the whole army, set up a four-door fighting formation. Fang Ruitao, who had recovered a little, used his true qi and accurately transmitted his words to the ears of every fighter. Hearing Fang Ruitao's order, the remaining four thousand soldiers immediately moved. The usual rigorous training worked, and even in the dark, they still quickly found their position, and the four-door Dou Bottom Formation was quickly set up.

The Four Gates Doudi Formation is a relatively advanced defensive formation, which is specially designed for armies with a small number of people. The whole formation is divided into four gates, and the fighters stationed in the four gates will be divided into three groups, and they can take turns to attack, not only to be able to resist the attack of the superior enemy with a small number of people, but also to allow all the fighters to take turns to rest and avoid excessive fatigue.

The Dragon Soul Empire suddenly changed formation, and the Chagatai cavalry quickly felt it, but these Chagatai people didn't understand the formation at all, they just felt that their attack had become sluggish and difficult to advance, and the opponent's combat effectiveness seemed to be much stronger, which made the casualties of the Chagatai people suddenly increase greatly.
