Durham was speaking happily when he was suddenly stunned by the startled call of the guide. The guards around him were also vigilant, and they looked around, and found a dozen knights staring at them outside the woods of a small hill a few hundred paces away.

Seeing this, Duolun shouted: "Be on guard! Then he stretched out his hand to stop Durham, who was about to give the order to fight, and said, "Master Hou, don't worry about it first. We only brought 500 personal soldiers with us this time, so there was really no need to take risks. And looking at the other party's attire, it is not a Shengtang soldier, so it is better to send someone to ask first, maybe it is an ally of the Western Frontier Alliance. ”

Durham thought for a moment, and felt that there was some truth in what Doron said, so he nodded at the guide. The guide hurriedly agreed, led two cavalrymen, holding Turkic flags, and galloped towards the knights of unknown origin.

Horia let her men line up outside the forest, and she and the other three girls hid in the woods, looking out to observe the Turkic horse team that had stopped guarding not far away.

I only heard He Sijia whisper: "Look at their banner outfits, these people should be the elite warriors of the Turkic Gold Tribe." At the front of the line, the tall and burly man riding a red horse seemed to be the Marquis of Durham, and next to him was General Doren, the leader of the Iron Pigeon Army, riding a black horse. ”

"Great, catch two big fish now!" Horia said excitedly: "I have already sent a herald just now, and the large forces of the right army will arrive soon, don't even think about running away!" ”

When He Sijia heard her say that she was going to do something to her own people, she was so frightened that she hurriedly waved her hand, and at the same time reminded: "County Lord, don't come nonsense." Have you forgotten what Lady Lee said? Before the enthronement ceremony of the Shenhua family begins, the whole army must try to exercise restraint and not clash with the Turkic army within a radius of fifty miles from Metasequoia City, so as not to attract the attention of the other party......"

Horia interrupted impatiently: "You also said that you tried to refrain as much as possible, but it is not completely forbidden. As for the enemy, it should also be divided into high and low priorities. Like the enemy commander in front of him, who is lone behind, letting it go is to delay the fighter! ”

"Not really." He Sijia really didn't want to see the bloodshed on both sides, so she tried her best to dissuade her: "What Master Li said about trying to be restrained means that when there is a situation where the enemy invades us on a large scale, we can only let go and carry out a counterattack, but if the other party has no obvious hostility, then no matter who he is, he is not allowed to take the initiative to provoke." ”

Horia didn't bother to pay attention to this, and said categorically: "Okay, you don't have to worry about the war." I am the commander of the Right Army, and here I have the final say. You three, get me back to the city!" ”

With that, she rolled over her horse and galloped straight out of the woods where she was hiding.

"Don't talk too much here!"

The guide, who was introducing his identity outside the forest, was suddenly interrupted by a female general who ran out of the forest, and couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

Horia rode up to him and shouted, "Go back and tell you what kind of marquis, we are the garrison of St. Tang Metasequoia." Now give him two choices, one is to obediently dismount and surrender, and the other is to leave his life here and let him choose for himself. ! ”

When the guide heard this, his face was as ugly as he was. His mouth opened and closed silently a few times, feeling that he really didn't know what to say, and finally he sighed helplessly, turned around and went back to Durham to tell the truth.

After listening to the guide's reply, the Turkic deputy marshal Durham laughed instead of being angry.

As a famous warrior of the Turkic gold tribe and the number one general under the command of the Great Khan Ashina, he has commanded the main force of gold to crisscross the Western Continent for many years, but today he is despised by a small group of local miscellaneous troops, which is really ridiculous!

"Okay, good, that's the best!" Durham shook his beard and shouted proudly behind him, "Sons! Listen, all of you. On the hill over there are the remnants of the Saint Tang's troops, called the Metasequoia Garrison. They just spoke, telling us to either surrender or die. You say, "What should you choose?" ”

"Kill them!" "Let him die!" The golden-armored guards were furious and roared wildly.

Durham nodded with satisfaction and raised his horsewhip: "Good! Listen to me, all draw their knives out of their sheaths, and let those soft eggs taste the taste of our golden blades carefully! ”

"Huh-" The five hundred gold-armored warriors were aroused by Durham's simple two words, and they all flashed their weapons, ready to immediately charge, annihilating the small group of arrogant people in front of them in one fell swoop.

Duolun reminded beside him: "Master Hou, since the other party dares to speak disrespectfully and directly provoke us, it is impossible for there to be only such a small number of people in front of us." Most of them are ambushes hidden in the back, so you can't take it lightly. ”

Durham narrowed his eyes, looked at Horia from a distance, and sneered disdainfully: "Little Duolun, according to you, how many enemies can I deal with with these five hundred sons?" ”

Of course, Duolun heard the arrogance in the other party's words, groaned slightly, and responded cautiously: "The soldiers under the command of Hou Ye are all our Turkic trump cards. ”

"Isn't that all there is to it?" Durham laughed when he heard this: "According to your algorithm, even if the other party comes with five or six thousand volt soldiers, we don't have to worry." The question is, are there so many of them? Hahaha, boys, don't waste time, rush up and slaughter them! ”

The main force of the Turkic Golden Clan is worthy of being a well-trained elite division, and once the battle goal is clear, there is no hesitation. In the blink of an eye, the five hundred warriors formed a crescent moon formation of cavalry charge, outflanking the hillock where Horia was.

Just watching the Turkic soldiers move quickly, the sense of oppression made Xia Lian and the others who were still hiding in the forest extremely nervous. Effantia took Hesjia's hand, her body trembling slightly, and she didn't know whether she was scared or excited. And He Sijia frowned anxiously.

On the contrary, Horia, who was sitting on a war horse, seemed calm and relaxed. Her grim gaze swept over the Turks who were in formation in front of her, and her eyes shone like fire. In the next second, Horia took out a small horn from her waist and put it to her mouth and blew it vigorously.

Woo –

The melodious sound of the horn sounded far and wide, echoing in the vast ghost desert wilderness.

In an instant, the sound of a bull's horn also sounded in the woods behind him, obviously echoing Horia's horn.

Soon after, the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps suddenly came from all directions, and they ran closer and closer. In the blink of an eye, thousands of infantry and cavalry rushed out of the dense forest and pressed back against the Turks in a larger crescent formation!

Metasequoia right army, ordered to kill!

In the encounter that takes place in the plains and wilderness, the two warring sides cannot have enough time to arrange their troops, and everyone is almost always moving quickly while forming the most favorable battle formation, and this is a great test of the level of the commander of an army and the training quality of the soldiers.

The elite cavalry of the Turkic Golden Clan is a perfect representative of this.

Despite the sudden encounter with thousands of opponents, the Turkic Guards did not panic, and in just a few breaths, they not only greatly shortened the distance between them and Horia, but also quickly gathered the crescent moon formation, which was still slightly loose, into a more dense and orderly appearance. The warriors at the front of the line, all holding their swords and spears, lowered their bodies on their horses, and kept sprinting forward, while those who were at the back put away their swords one after another, changed their bows and arrows in their hands, and aimed at their opponents from a distance.

Durham and Doren, who stayed in place to watch the battle, did not feel panicked and anxious because of the sudden appearance of a large number of Metasequoia troops.

On the one hand, Metasequoia soldiers and horses are a mixed group of infantry and cavalry, which has no mobile advantage in plain battles. Therefore, although Horya and the others were outnumbered, it was difficult to compare with the Turkic cavalry formation, which completely unleashed their hands and feet.

On the other hand, the two of them were also confident in their gold-armored cavalry.

Since the victory in the Battle of Crescent Bay, the self-confidence of the Turkic army has soared to an unprecedented height. In just one battle, he killed 120,000 opponents and almost completely destroyed the two main armies of Shengtang. Such a result can be called the pinnacle of the history of the Turkic and Shengtang battles.

The powerful combat power displayed by the Turkic army is indeed qualified to be proud of the eastern and western continents!

With such a strong force, how could he put the ragtag army of Metasequoia City in his eyes?

-

The two meniscus formations, one large and one small, ran faster and faster, rushed closer and closer, and suddenly collided with each other in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, swords and guns exchanged on the battlefield, people shouted and neighed, and a fierce battle broke out between the right army of Metasequoia and the Turkic guards.

According to the Marquis of Durham's foresight, which is also the traditional method of warfare of the Turkic Golden Tribe, the whole course of the battle should develop like this:

The gold-armored cavalry first aimed at the opponent's central line in the form of high-speed impact, and used its own speed advantage and rapid assault force to tear a huge hole in the opponent's front line.

As soon as the gap appeared, the cavalry changed their wedge-shaped formation, and the front line rushed forward along the gap, without stopping all the way, until it penetrated the opponent's entire battle formation and fought from the rear.

Immediately afterwards, the cavalry that came out of the formation, relying on the characteristics of maneuverability and flexibility, did not wait for the enemy to turn around and rearrange the formation, they quickly turned around, once again smashed into the opponent's formation, and struck out from the other side.

In such repeated charges, it won't take a few rounds for the opponent's formation to be torn apart by them, and then completely lose the ability to resist.

All that remains to do is to hunt and chase and slaughter the remnants of the other party's scattered and fleeing soldiers as prey.

This was the case at Crescent Bay. The 120,000 Saint Tang army didn't even survive an hour, and was beaten by the Turkic cavalry who came and went like the wind and repeatedly rushed to kill, and they had no power to fight back.

Unfortunately, Durham was wrong this time.
