Li Jiangyao led a thousand cavalry, and after Du Jian Mamu and them set off for an hour, they also left the small city of Sedang according to the plan.

The team walked about twenty miles to the northeast, and Li Jiangyao suddenly ordered the whole army to stop.

Horia grabbed the reins and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" Why stop here? ”

Li Jiangyao ignored her, and just nodded towards Xu Youchang.

Xu Youchang smiled slyly at the county lord of Nanhua, who was full of doubts, beckoned the former army officers under his command, turned their horses' heads in unison, and galloped towards the northwest instead.

Li Jiangyao watched Xu Youchang and them gradually move away, so he gave another order to let the remaining five hundred men and horses continue to march towards the hilly area where the ambush was set up.

"My lord, what the hell is going on?" Huo Liya was puzzled: "What kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd?" Didn't you say to go to an ambush? Why did General Xu leave halfway? ”

Li Jiangyao rode his horse and said to her: "My lord of the county, General Xu is going to invite guests. ”

"Guests, please? What guests? The more Horia listened, the more confused she became.

"Let's set up a big banquet, there are all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, of course Lao Xu has to invite the distinguished guests to the banquet!" Li Jiangyao whipped the whip a few times, as if he intended to compete with her, and galloped wildly: "You put the problem in your stomach, and you will know it soon!" ”

Horia pouted in dissatisfaction, then clamped the horse's belly as well, chasing after her all the way.

In less than half an hour, the whole group came to the hilly area that the county lord of Nanhua said. Li Jiangyao immediately raised ground, and then the faint moonlight looked around slightly, feeling that this was indeed a good place for ambushes.

Rolling hills with many cols to hide an army. A simple dirt and gravel road winds through the hills, and the road is lined with small hills of high and low heights, making it easy to attack from a high vantage point.

He nodded in admiration, and said to Horia, who was panting, and said, "This is really a wonderful ambush position, but it's a pity......"

"Pity? What a pity? Horia was a little puzzled.

Li Jiangyao said leisurely: "It's a pity that we don't have enough troops, and we can't take advantage of this geographical advantage given by God. ”

Huo Liya was puzzled by Li Jiangyao's deceitful appearance all night, especially at this time, and couldn't help asking: "I said Master Li, what the hell are you doing?" Seeing that you and General Xu are mysterious, and now you are saying such things again, aren't you ready to ambush? ”

"Of course we have to fight," Li Jiangyao said with a smile: "However, you don't really think that we are relying on us to fight the ambush of Loulan's reinforcements, right?" ”

Seeing that Huo Liya couldn't help but get angry, Li Jiangyao hurriedly continued to explain: "The people of Loulan have suffered a big loss in Sedang City, and they will definitely come to take revenge. According to the combat power shown by our raid color at that time, if the other party does not come, it will be enough, and as long as it comes, the scale will definitely not be small. At least...... Well, it takes 5,000 people to be able to afford us. If you think about it, even with such a superior geography, it is really difficult to predict the outcome of the battle with less than a thousand troops to ambush an enemy several times its size. ”

Huo Liya is not a chick who has been on the battlefield for the first time, on the contrary, she has been in battle for a long time, and she naturally has a lot of experience in military affairs. But if that's the case, then why do we still want to come here? ”

"If you can't fight a real ambush, it's okay to fight a fake." Li Jiangyao couldn't help but smile evilly: "I asked Xu Youchang to invite guests to come, just for the banquet in front of me." Let's be responsible for preparing the dishes, just wait for all the guests on both sides to arrive, and then everyone will have a good time together. Don't you think it smells? ”

Hearing this, Horia finally understood the plan in his heart, and couldn't help but smile: "My lord, what should I say about you?" Is it a trick? Or is it a bad belly? ”

-

The 500 former soldiers of the Metasequoia Army who followed Xu Youchang had already changed into the Loulan military uniforms collected from the warehouse in Sedang at this time, and lined up neatly on the top of a small hill that was not too high, silently watching a marching team in the distance.

It was a patrol of about two hundred people, apparently having just finished their patrol and were about to return to the barracks two miles away to rest.

The journey was bumpy, and it was really hard. Seeing that they were about to arrive at the camp now, the warriors of Che Chi couldn't help but relax, and whispered and laughed to each other while riding their horses leisurely.

Xu Youchang swept the heavy iron gun in his hand, and a grim smile appeared on his face. When the patrol was only a few hundred paces away from them, he pointed sharply forward with the tip of his spear and shouted, "Give it to me!" With that, he rushed down the hill in the lead. The five hundred cavalry of the front army did not say a word, and at the same time urged the horses away, and followed the main general like a whirlwind to kill the Chechi patrol not far away.

Suddenly hearing the sound of hooves, the Chechi soldiers were immediately alert, and they all turned their heads to look at the other side of the hill. When they found that a Loulan army was sprinting towards them at high speed without a sound, their first reaction was to be stunned, completely unaware of what was happening.

You know, this is in the territory of Chechi, and not far away is the camp of Chechi's army, no matter what, the people of Loulan will not dare to attack them blatantly, right?

The commander of the patrol raised his right hand, intending to call for the other party to stop and tell him to reveal his identity, but before he could open his mouth, he immediately changed his mind.

The reason is simple, the other party is too fast.

And more importantly, Commander Che Chi is not a fool, he has already seen that although those Loulan troops did not shout the battle call to charge, the posture they put on was to accelerate the charge!

The commander was stunned for a second, and then shouted sharply: "Alert! Alert! Friendly attack! ”

Friendly attack?!

This kind of inexplicable statement completely confused the Chechi soldiers. However, fortunately, the instinct to survive was still there, forcing them to react as a soldier should be, drawing their swords from their sheaths.

Xu Youchang hurriedly picked up his horse speed and rushed to the front of the team, and he ran into the commander of Che Chijun, who was hurriedly sorting out the team, in an unexpected arc path.

Before the war horse arrived, the heavy iron spear in his hand had already stabbed out like lightning, and the powerful force brought up a screaming wind and rushed straight towards the opponent.

Commander Che Chi was not good, so he hurriedly held the knife in both hands, aimed at the incoming momentum of the iron spear, and suddenly blocked outward, hoping to use all his strength to knock this ferocious shot away. However, he miscalculated. Just when the long knife barely touched the heavy iron spear, the big spear weighing more than 100 catties and with sharp thrusts suddenly shook, like a spiritual snake, and suddenly withdrew, causing the blade to rub against the tip of the spear into the air.

The commander swung his knife with all his might, but failed to slash the iron spear, and the feeling of using the wrong force was extremely uncomfortable, and the long knife almost flew out of his hand due to inertia. And when Xu Youchang suddenly withdrew his gun, the war horse also happened to pass by Commander Che Chi, he dragged the gun and waved his backhand, and the gun slammed on the opponent's vest.

"Poof-" Commander Chechi couldn't help but spew out a mouthful of blood, and dismounted with a muffled voice.

The next moment, five hundred soldiers slapped on the body of the Chechi patrol like a tidal wave. In a miserable scream, dozens of Che Chi soldiers died on the spot, and the rest of the people who were lucky enough to bear the first wave of impact were also scattered, and there was no formation system at all.

After easily dealing with the commander of the enemy army, Xu Youchang immediately turned his horse's head, took advantage of the chaos of the opponent's position, danced the spear in his hand, and led his subordinates to kill back again, directly breaking into the enemy group. The spear was like an evil dragon resurrected, and with the speed of Xu Youchang's rapid advance, it flew up and down among the Chechi soldiers, and everywhere it went, it brought up a puff of red blood.

Since the former army iron cavalry left Saint Tang, it had not been so happy for a long time. Like a tiger trapped in a cage for a long time, they finally regained their freedom, and galloped and repeatedly attacked on this unobstructed plain, so that the Che Chi patrol was powerless.

It is not so much that Xu Changyou is fighting, but rather that they are performing, playing, hunting, wanton rampage, and ruthless bloodthirsty slaughter.

In just a short incense stick, the two hundred carts of Chi soldiers were almost completely bloodbathed, and only a few lucky ones escaped from the knives of the former army and ran desperately to the military camp not far from here.

At this time, there was also a whining horn sound in the direction of Chechi Daying. Obviously, Che Chi's main force had sensed the fierce battle that had broken out here, and a large number of fresh troops were gathering and dispatching to rescue their own men and horses.

Xu Youchang grabbed the reins, and immediately stepped forward, calmly looking at Che Chijun, who was running closer and closer from a distance, with a look of relief on his face-the effect that Li Jiangyao hoped for was finally basically achieved. He shoved his fingers into his mouth and blew a loud whistle to signal his men to move on to the next step.

After receiving the signal, the soldiers of the former army were still silent, but they were automatically divided into two groups very tacitly, one group marched forward in line against the enemy troops in the distance, protecting the comrades behind them, and the other group of men and horses rescued the injured comrades one by one, retreated first, and left the battlefield.

In the blink of an eye, the Chechi reinforcements who arrived first were already closer, and the trumpets in the military camp in the distance sounded one after another, and teams of Chechi soldiers also rushed out of the camp gate one after another, covering up this side.

Xu Youchang did not have the slightest fear of the enemy's approach, but hung the heavy iron spear in his hand on the hook next to the saddle, and then tied it firmly with a cowhide belt.
