The one who came here with great momentum was the Turkic ironclad cavalry unit that happened to arrive in Sedan yesterday, numbering two thousand.

It turned out that this group of Turkic soldiers and horses came from the direction of the Broken Leaf Country and was ordered to be transferred to the southern camp of the Turks to change the defense and blockade Shengyu Pass. As soon as it was dawn today, 2,000 Turkic warriors got up and packed up and prepared to leave the town and continue eastward.

However, unexpectedly, they had just finished tidying up the team, and suddenly they heard a mess on the street outside the camp. Immediately afterwards, a few Loulan soldiers who were lucky enough to not die stumbled into the camp gate, shouting that the enemy had entered the city.

When the Turkic leader heard this, he did not dare to slack off, and without even asking who the enemy was, he rushed out of the camp with his troops in a hurry and launched a counterattack against Li Jiangyao and them on the street.

Seeing the surging Turkic cavalry from afar, most of the Metasequoia warriors couldn't help but be a little stunned, but Xu Youchang, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, showed an extraordinary reaction. He didn't wait for Li Jiangyao to give an order, and immediately commanded his subordinates to form a charging formation and meet the opponent head-on.

Almost all of the soldiers and horses of the former soldiers who were selected to participate in the battle of Sedang were soldiers of the forward battalion of the original Xuanjia Legion, and all of them had experienced a hundred battles, which could be called the elite of the elite of the Shengtang military. These experienced warriors knew very well in their hearts: the so-called narrow road meets the brave wins, and on such a narrow street as the one in front of them, once the Turkic war horses rush up without hindrance, no matter how many troops they have, they will not be able to carry it.

The only correct way to fight is to meet it without hesitation, and fight to the death before the opponent's war horse completely accelerates.

As a result, the soldiers of the former army, who were not very numerous, were the first to react, and followed Xu Youchang closely, and the first group rushed towards the Turks who were getting closer and closer.

Almost at the same time, Li Jiangyao also realized the seriousness of the problem. Although the appearance of the Turkic army exceeded his previous expectations, he could not hesitate any longer at this moment, as soon as Xu Youchang launched a charge, he immediately swung his sword forward, ordering all the soldiers and horses to shake the enemy head-on.

In the blink of an eye, on this street hundreds of paces long and twenty paces wide, two groups of cavalry rushed forward wildly, and suddenly collided in one place, and in an instant, swords and swords flew sideways, flesh and blood flew sideways, and the entire street was stuffed. The soldiers who rushed to the front row on both sides fought completely face-to-face, and they didn't need to think about the move at all, they simply picked up the saber and spear, slashed and stabbed straight forward, either overturning the opponent or falling under the opponent's blade.

And the soldiers and horses who caught up behind kept shouting, rushing forward, arching forward, and squeezing forward. Just wait for the comrades in front of him to fall, and he will immediately make up for it and continue to fight. The soldiers and horses that unfortunately fell to the ground were almost without exception trampled into meat sauce by the hooves of the horses around them.

On the main street of the small city of Sedang, it seems that a huge bloody vortex suddenly appeared out of thin air, constantly sucking and swallowing the soldiers on both sides.

The battle situation was completely in a state of stalemate, but Li Jiangyao, as the commander, was crowded in the middle of the team by the dense soldiers around him at this time, unable to advance or retreat, and he couldn't see what was going on in front of him, so he couldn't help but feel anxious.

According to the current rigid style of slashing and killing, even if the Turks are carried by them, it is a completely useless waste of combat power. And once the Loulan guard, who was familiar with the terrain, led Su Kun to take a detour from the side and rear, he would suddenly fall into the danger of being flanked by the front and rear.

In that case, all these brothers who followed him into the city would be finished.

But what is helpless is that now he is surrounded by people, and he is firmly crowded, and there is no way to effectively command and transfer.

Li Jiangyao was in a hurry, raised his eyes to look around, suddenly slammed the saddle with both hands, followed with a swish, swished into the air, and then stepped on the heads and shoulders of the people next to him, and jumped onto the roof next to the street in a few steps.

As soon as he stepped onto the roof, Li Jiangyao immediately shouted at Huo Liya, who was further behind: "County Lord! Don't go any further, take your men back and guard against the enemy! The white-robed army listened to the order, brought bows and arrows, and gave Lao Tzu a fucking room! ”

With his order, more than a hundred and so white-robed soldiers jumped out of their saddles one after another, climbed up the houses on both sides of the street cleanly, and then followed their commander, moving quickly along the roof, and in a blink of an eye they approached the Turkic cavalry.

At this time, the Turkic leading general was also the same as Li Jiangyao just now, firmly squeezed in the middle of the team by his own people, unable to move at all.

He waved the saber in his hand and shouted hoarsely: "Rush me!" Kill! Press it for me! "Look at the stance, as if the shout could trigger some mysterious force that would help him and his men crush their opponents.

And he firmly believes that the louder he shouts, the stronger that mysterious power will be.

But it's a pity that the voices are already hoarse, but the cavalry on the opposite side in the costume of the car still does not give an inch. This situation was really a bit discouraged for the Turkic generals. So he cleared his throat and prepared to regroup, once again calling on the mysterious power to help him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he looked up, he happened to see the white-robed army coming from the roof next to him.

Rows of archers, already aiming their shining arrows at him.

The Turkic general's heart tightened, and he was originally going to shout "Rush! Kill! Pressure! In an instant, it became "My mother!" ”

With his desperate scream, the condescending white-robed army began to shoot inhumanely.

From the roof to the street, the farthest distance is only a few feet, and the bottom is densely packed with people. In this situation, the archer does not need to aim at all, he only needs to close his eyes and shoot nonsense, and he will also hit every shot.

The most terrifying thing about a sudden volley strike is not how many casualties it can cause, but the desperation that arises from being completely caught in a situation of being beaten passively. The opponent bent his bow and arrows and shot at the head of the head, but his own side was still powerless and had nowhere to hide, even if it was replaced by the most loyal blood guard of the Turkic Khan, it would also collapse.

The Turkic cavalry, who had been fighting fiercely, were suddenly swept away by two rounds of arrows like raindrops, and they were immediately terrified and screamed. The more than 100 archers, with just a few volleys, knocked out hundreds of Turkic soldiers. Those who were lucky enough not to be hit by the arrow no longer had the intention of crowding forward, on the contrary, everyone began to retreat in panic.

Fierce battles are often like tug-of-war, as long as one side of the stalemate relaxes a little, then the other side will immediately feel it, and suddenly burst out with greater morale and combat power, completely crushing the opponent.

The Turkic army was shot indiscriminately with bows and arrows, and without the previous sharpness, Xu Youchang immediately keenly noticed it, and did not hesitate to issue an order, taking the lead in pressing the other party. In the blink of an eye, the ranks of the Metasequoia Army erupted in a terrifying shouting and killing, and they rushed through the line of the Turkic cavalry.

The defeat was like a mountain, and one Turk ran away, and all the Turks followed. The ferocity of the previous moment turned into panic in the next moment. Although a small number of extremely bloody Turkic warriors remained in place and resisted stubbornly in groups of three or five, the vast majority of the Turkic soldiers and horses had quickly retreated at this time, and together with the Loulan army, which had arrived late to reinforce them, they had fled from the other city gates in a hurry.

The Metasequoia people, who had an absolute advantage, easily wiped out the remaining enemies in the city.

In less than half an hour, the battle of Sedang was completely over.

Li Jiangyao jumped down from the roof and ordered his subordinates not to rest and recuperate, but to hurry up and clean up the battlefield. According to the prior plan, the soldiers were divided into two routes: Ma Mu led the people brought from Metasequoia City to frantically rush to transport the grain, grass and equipment hoarded in Sedang City; Du Jian led his subordinates to replace the Loulan flags everywhere and changed them all to Geerhan's Chechijun flags.

More than a dozen local warriors rode fast horses, banged gongs, galloped back and forth through the streets, and loudly announced to the people in the city in Chechi's language: Sedang is back under the jurisdiction of Chechi.

Many of Loulan's civilian officials stationed in Sedang did not have time to retreat with Su Kun at this time. They shivered and hid in the house, listening to the announcements outside.

All was said and done, and it was getting dark. Du Jian and Ma Mu came to Li Jiangyao's side and reported the situation to him: "Chief, we have requisitioned a total of 240 carts in Sedang, plus more than 70 camels, all of which are already loaded with grain and arrows. Che Chiguo's flags and proclamations are also everywhere. Let's go! ”

Li Jiangyao nodded with satisfaction, discussed a few words in a low voice with Xu Youchang next to him, and then ordered: "Du Jian, you and the county lord will lead two thousand soldiers and horses to escort the convoy around Mancili Lake and return to Metasequoia from the Dahong Gorge. ”

"Let's go back to Metasequoia? What about you? Horia asked.

Xu Youchang coughed: "I said that the commander of the right army, please pay attention to your attitude when talking to the main general." ”

Huo Liya gave him a blank look, although her face was full of dissatisfaction, she didn't dare to violate military discipline again, but stared at Li Jiangyao unwillingly.

Li Jiangyao said in a deep voice: "You go first, we are responsible for the break, and by the way, we will see if there is a chance to ambush or something." ”

"Ambush?" Horia hurriedly shouted, "I'm going too!" ”

As soon as the words came out, she suddenly realized that she had forgotten the distinction between dignity and inferiority, and secretly glanced at Xu Youchang next to her, and stuck out her tongue embarrassedly.

Xu Youchang shook his head angrily and funny, and said to Li Jiangyao: "Jiang Yao, the county lord of Nanhua is familiar with the terrain, I think it's okay for her to follow us, please decide." ”

"Okay then," Li Jiangyao thought for a while and asked Huo Liya: "This is the territory of Chechi Kingdom, and if the Loulan people want to report and move troops, they can only go to Sak Yi City in the northeast recently." From Sakyi to Sedan, is there a suitable ambush in between? ”

Horia replied with a grin, "Are you looking for an ambush location?" It's not bragging, I've been hunting and playing in this area since I was a child, and I can't be more familiar with it. Fifty miles from here, there is a small hilly area, through which the official road to Sakyi winds its way through it. It's no problem to hide thousands of people there! ”
