Li Jiangyao, who was wearing the military uniform of Che Chiguo, sat upright on his horse and stood in the middle of the entire cavalry ranks. He nodded and said calmly, "Okay, Ma Mu, your task has been completed." Now immediately go to the rear of the team and stand by, and don't go into the city with us. ”

Ma Mu, who was disguised as a veteran of Che Chi, hurriedly agreed, immediately turned the horse's head, and galloped towards the back of the entire team. The next fierce battle is about to break out, and Ma Mu knows that as a powerless civil official, staying here will not help at all, and in turn, he needs to be distracted by the soldiers and become a burden to everyone.

When Ma Mu ran away, Li Jiangyao turned his head to look left and right, Xu Youchang, Huo Liya, and Du Jian all nodded lightly at him, indicating that he was ready to fight at any time. Li Jiangyao smiled calmly, waved the horsewhip in his hand towards the front, and shouted loudly: "Enter the city!" ”

The 3,000 ironclad cavalry, composed of the elite forces of the front, left and right armies of the Metasequoia garrison, lined up in a neat queue and started to march towards the gate of Sedang.

As the team continued to move forward, the dark and deep city gate hole got closer and closer, and Li Jiangyao suddenly remembered the small north gate of Metasequoia. Remembering that when Gelhan attacked Metasequoia City, the horse bandits who were responsible for the sneak attack on the north gate were tricked into the city by his design, and were suddenly cut off by the defenders halfway, and then slaughtered the terrible scene, Li Jiangyao's palms couldn't help but sweat slightly.

If the Loulan army does the same and gives him such a trick, then everything will be whimper!

Three thousand elites are his most valuable soldiers, and all his subordinates are the core leaders of the Metasequoia garrison, once they are ambushed by the Loulan people and besieged on all sides, I am afraid that few of them will be able to leave here alive, and the fire in the western frontier that he has worked so hard to manage will be completely extinguished all at once.

Thinking of this, Li Jiangyao secretly worried, and even wondered if the battle plan he had set was too risky. He subconsciously raised his head, and looked towards the city as he walked, only to see that the Loulan army standing in the city looked calm and unusual, and even many people's faces looked a little sluggish and numb. They gathered together in groups of three or five, looking at Li Jiangyao and them, without any murderous intent in their eyes. And more Loulan soldiers didn't care about the cavalry team entering the city at all, and still chatted and laughed on their own.

But the more this happens, the more unsettling it becomes.

In just a distance of about 100 paces, Li Jiangyao walked extremely worriedly, and several times he almost shouted to stop the men and horses in front of him, telling them to quickly turn around and retreat. But reason told him again and again that it was absolutely impossible for the Loulan army stationed in Sedang City to know their actions in advance, and it was by no means pretended to be careless. For the Metasequoia garrison, this is an extremely rare fighter that must be grasped.

is still the same sentence, in order to win, even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, you have to break through!

Seeing that the entire cavalry had no danger and all entered the small city of Sedang smoothly, Li Jiangyao's hanging heart finally let go. When the army enters the city, the number of victories and defeats can no longer be controlled by the opponent, and the initiative has been in the hands of the Metasequoia soldiers and horses.

Li Jiangyao's eyes shot a sharp light, and he silently signaled to his subordinates: Be ready to act at any time!

At this time, a small group of Loulan soldiers quickly approached the cavalry brigade, they were the guides responsible for leading the way, preparing to lead the Che Chi friendly army to the military camp in the city to rest. And the commander of Loulan at the head of the city before also walked down quickly, looking around, looking for Ma Mu who had just called the city gate.

"What are you looking at?" Li Jiangyao snorted coldly at the commander: "I am the chief officer who leads the team, one of the four fierce generals of His Royal Highness King Gelhan of Chechi, and a general with bells and whistles. Tell me something! ”

Commander Loulan was slightly stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that there would be someone who would call himself a "fierce general" with a thick face, but he didn't dare to show a sluggish look, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Oh, it turned out to be a famous general with bells and whistles, and he has been looking up for a long time." The last general is the deputy commander of the 7th Brigade of the 5th Army of Loulan State, Merkson. May I ask what kind of business the general has brought his troops here? ”

Li Jiangyao pursed his lips disdainfully, and responded in an arrogant tone: "This official is ordered by the Prince of the Turkic Temple to lead his troops to hunt down the remnants of the enemy army. I happened to be passing by here today, and I was going to take a break. Do you have any good wine and meat here? Are there any pretty girls? Hurry up and prepare it all for Lao Tzu! ”

"Yes, yes," Commander Loulan nodded again and again, and said with a sneer: "There is everything, I guarantee that the general is satisfied." But General, can you show the military order to the general, and we can register it. ”

Li Jiangyao glared at him and said angrily: "Look at a fart!" What qualifications do you have to read military orders issued by the Turkic princes? I have two big slaps here, do you want to see them? His grandmother's, Sedang was originally a town in Chechiguo, but it has always been occupied by Loulan, so forget it, now that we come to eat and sleep on our own territory, you still dare to be crooked? Want to fight? ”

Taking advantage of the moment when Li Jiangyao and Loulan Commander Merxon blew their beards and stared at their majesty, Du Jian and the others dismounted one after another, pretending to move their sore legs and feet, and walked towards the city intentionally or unintentionally.

And Xu Youchang and Huo Liya were still sitting on their horses, ready to lead the cavalry to charge at any time.

Merxon didn't notice Du Jian's actions, but was scolded by the bells and whistles general in front of him, although he was very annoyed in his heart, he could only endure this evil breath first. It's not that he's afraid of Che Chiguo, but he just doesn't want to clash with Che Chi's army for no reason and there will be uncontrollable bloodshed. Out of this thought, Merkson smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly looked for the bottom of the stairs by himself: "General, please calm your anger, it is indeed the last general who is reckless." It's not too late to check the military orders when you meet our commander-in-chief. In this way, let's go to the military camp in the city to rest first, and the Chechi brothers have worked hard and hard all the way. ”

Seeing that he was no longer entangled in the matter of the military order inspection, Li Jiangyao snorted: "This is about the same, you lead the way in front of your head." ”

Merkson nodded, hurriedly beckoned the leading team to open the way in front, and stepped on his war horse, accompanied Li Jiangyao diligently, and went to the barracks together, answering all kinds of nonsensical questions from the bells and whistles by the way.

The more Merkson went, though, the more she felt that something was wrong.

Although for the sake of communication, everyone did not use the language of their own nationality when communicating, but spoke the Shengtang dialect commonly used in Western Xinjiang. However, the bells and whistles of the general obviously have the face of a saint Tang people, which is absolutely very rare in the Chechi army with the ghost desert horse bandits as the predecessor.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the Chechi Cavalry Brigade following behind, and found that the soldiers in the queue were also mixed with many Saint Tang people, and he couldn't help but feel even more puzzled in his heart.

Li Jiangyao noticed that Merkson seemed to be angry at this time, so he hurriedly diverted his attention and asked again: "You just mentioned your commander-in-chief, who is the commander-in-chief of this Sedang City?" How many garrisons does Loulan have here? ”

"Huh? Do you say commander-in-chief? The officer came back to his senses and subconsciously replied, "It's the orthodoxy of our seventh brigade commander, Lord Su Kun." The garrison had a thousand people. However, last night, Sedang suddenly came to the Turkic two cavalry thousand-man team, saying that they were preparing to go to the Nanda Battalion on the side of Shengyu Pass to change their defenses. So, I'm sorry, General Fancy Bells and Whistles, I'm afraid there aren't enough barracks in the city to accommodate your troops now, so I can only make do with it first. ”

When Li Jiangyao heard that there were Turkic troops in the city, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, but he remained silent on the surface.

Huo Liya, who was following closely behind him, was also surprised when she heard this, and stared at Officer Loulan with a slight stunnedness. The officer seemed to sense something at this time, and he also turned his head, just to meet Horia's eyes, and suddenly, he exclaimed in surprise: "Huh? You...... Aren't you the lord of Nanhua? ”

Li Jiangyao saw that Huo Liya's identity was exposed, but he was not panicked, and still smiled calmly: "Didn't I tell you before, I am a general with bells and whistles, of course there must be a few princesses under my command who are called what flowers and leaves, don't you think this is normal?" ”

With that, Cang Chang pulled out the starfall knife on his waist.

Officer Loulan was startled, but he was still wondering what Li Jiangyao meant by this nonsense, and in the next second, a white light flashed in front of his eyes, and the whole person suddenly fell off the horse.

It wasn't until Officer Loulan fell heavily to the ground that he asked the phrase "What do you mean?" ”

At this moment, the whole cavalry was marching on the main street leading from the city gate to the barracks, and the streets were lined with shops and pedestrians. There were many local people watching the bustle, sandwiched on both sides of the road, watching the army entering the city, unaware that danger was imminent.

As soon as Officer Loulan's side fell off the horse, Huo Liya was already holding a knife in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Do it!" ”

At the sound of an order, the soldiers immediately launched an action and opened fire on the Loulan soldiers who led the way. Sedang is only a small town, and there is only this main road in the city that is bustling and bustling, and the army immediately startled the surrounding crowd to exclaim and run around with their heads in mind.

For a time, Sedang fell into chaos.

Du Jian and the others received the signal from afar, and immediately launched a surprise attack on the city, and in the blink of an eye, they beat the unsuspecting Loulan defenders to pieces.

It only took a moment for the Metasequoia warriors to clean up the Loulan soldiers on the street.

However, what was unexpected was that before the soldiers could even wipe the blood off their swords, they heard a dull sound of horses' hooves on the other side of the street.

The Turkic cavalry has arrived!
