At this moment, the angry and corrupt King Alikjiang of Loulan is constantly transferring troops and sending new troops under his command to enter the fierce battles in the front line direction one after another. In the face of Metasequoia's miscellaneous troops, the unexpected situation of losing troops and losing troops for a long time has made this arrogant leader of the Western Frontier Alliance gradually lose his mind.

To tell the truth, the Metasequoia gang was so difficult to fight that Alekjiang even wondered if the Zhenjiang Protectorate in Crescent Bay had suddenly come back from the dead and came here to seek revenge.

And at this time, Durham also sent a messenger to send a message, telling him to calm down immediately and face the big battle in front of him cautiously.

The deputy marshal of the Turks said that it was possible that there was a regular army of St. Don on the opposite side?

Alikjiang's heart tightened: Damn, judging from the current battle situation, this possibility is really high!

However, why did the regular army of Saint Tang appear in this ghost place of Metasequoia City? Those metasequoia warriors who obviously have the appearance and characteristics of the local Western Xinjiang people, which legion of the other party belong to?

Alikjiang didn't care about these problems anymore, and hurriedly ordered to stop the four infantry phalanxes that were about to reinforce the battle, so that they could first set up their positions in place, and they were not allowed to act rashly.

"Your Highness, we can't fight so hard anymore!" The elders of Loulan who were standing beside him shouted one after another: "If it is really as the Marquis of Durham said, there are soldiers and horses from the Holy Tang Protectorate on the other side, then what we are doing now is no different from committing suicide and seeking death!" Look over there! The car is late, and everyone is about to die of laughter! ”

Alekjiang followed the direction of their fingers and looked towards the left side of the large array, and was almost so angry that he vomited blood: at the moment when his sons and daughters were fighting with the Metasequoia Army and fighting bloodily, Gelhan and his entire army of 30,000 Chechi were watching the excitement.

In all fairness, this can't be blamed on the late army. Alekjiang had a shrewd calculation early on: as the leader of the Western Xinjiang Alliance, he always wanted to establish power and power and overpower other allies. Although it was a hasty action to attack Metasequoia this time, the Western Xinjiang Alliance dispatched 80,000 troops to conquer a small Metasequoia City, which was like killing chickens with a knife.

With such strength, not to mention Metasequoia, within the scope of the entire Western Xinjiang Ghost Desert, even if you want to launch a war against a certain state to destroy the country and the clan, it is more than enough. Besides, with a Turkic aristocratic general like the Marquis of Durham watching the battle from behind, how could Alikjan not take advantage of the opportunity to perform to the fullest?

The people of Loulan had not fought with Li Jiangyao of Metasequoia City before, and of course they didn't know the reality of the other party, so they took it for granted that with their large numbers of people and brave soldiers, it was enough to crush the Metasequoia defenders in one fell swoop and pull out the flag to capture the city.

And in order not to let Gelhan, who had tasted defeat in Metasequoia, have a chance to turn the tables in shame, Alekjiang deliberately put aside the 30,000 Chechi army from the beginning, and only called his Loulan soldiers and horses to pinch the "soft persimmon" of Metasequoia, and afterwards used the credit of the main battle to win the favor of Durham and support him to occupy the geographically advantageous Metasequoia City, and then he could threaten the Chechi royal court at close range.

And when the Loulan soldiers and the Metasequoia garrison first clashed, Gelhan and his Chechi soldiers really had the mentality of watching the excitement, standing next to the mountain and watching the tiger fight. Gelhan naturally knows very well that this guy Alikjiang is narrow-minded and is eager to grab the position of the main attacker, just to show himself in front of the Turks. In this regard, he had no other way but to accept such an arrangement in a huff.

From the bottom of his heart, although Gelhan knew that Li Jiangyao and the Metasequoia Army were not easy to deal with, it was only for defending the city, and it was tantamount to a cheap Alecjiang River for nothing if he drove out of the city directly to fight against the Western Xinjiang Coalition Army like now, so he also secretly sighed that he was unlucky, and the great credit could only be snatched away by the Loulan people.

However, as the battle continued and the intensity of the battlefield skyrocketed, Gerhan and Che Chi became more and more frightened and silent the more they watched.

Before coming here, Gerhan's knowledge of Metasequoia's armed forces was still stuck in a few months. Although the power of that ghost-faced white-robed army was amazing, even to the point of perversion, after all, they were only a few hundred in size, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were all guards of some miscellaneous merchant groups, and there was no need to worry about fighting a frontal battle.

failed to capture Metasequoia City in one fell swoop, in Gelhan's view, it was more due to the interference of external factors such as the right time and place, as well as the Western Xinjiang War that broke out later, which seriously involved Che Chi's troops. As for the performance of the Metasequoia Army in the city defense battle, Gelhan did not think it was too remarkable, at most it was a medium level.

But I never expected that in just a few months, the Metasequoia garrison in front of me would become so powerful!

What level is the Loulan soldiers and horses at in the entire Western Frontier Alliance, others don't know, but Geerhan will definitely not be unclear.

In the words of the Prince of the Turkic Temple: The Loulan Legion is currently close to the level of the non-main force of the Turkic Empire, and in some respects, it is even stronger than the combat power of the soldiers of the 28th Prefecture of the Holy Tang Dynasty.

Looking at the 36 countries in the Ghost Desert of Western Xinjiang, there are only one and a half countries that can be qualified to face the soldiers and horses under the command of Alikjiang. That one is the Shule country, and the remaining half is the Chechi country.

If it weren't for the fact that Loulan had deceived people too much before, and the sneak attack had severely damaged the Third Army, Gelhan would never be willing to tear his face with Alekjiang now and directly break out into a big battle.

On the other hand, on the battlefield now, the Loulan people, who have the advantage of troops, fought hard for two hours, and they actually gained nothing except the death of thousands of soldiers and horses. Not to mention the easy strangulation of the Metasequoia garrison on the plains, even the first line of defense of the people failed to break through at this time, which is incredible.

And the combat power shown by the Metasequoia Army seems to be far from reaching the limit. Or it is not an exaggeration to say that they actually fought with ease, as if they were deliberately consuming the patience of the Loulan army, sticking and dragging it, even if they had the opportunity, they would not easily fight back.

This kind of calm bearing, as well as the control of the battle situation, is alive and well from the posture of the main force of Shengtang!

Gerhan put away his heart of contempt for the enemy, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice: fortunately, he didn't listen to the bad ideas of the Turks and the Western Frontier Alliance a few days ago, and ran recklessly to crusade against Metasequoia; Fortunately, today Alekjiang was greedy and reckless, and did not let them go directly to take the lead.

Otherwise, just for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in this ghost place, it would be a loss to vomit blood.

Still, Gorham didn't have time to rejoice for long. His Royal Highness Alikjiang, the wise leader of the Western Frontier Alliance, how could he easily let go of Che Chiguo's old opponent after he hit the south wall and hit his head and bleed?

"The alliance leader has an order, and the 30,000 Che Chi army will immediately enter the battle to assist the Loulan soldiers in front to completely defeat the Metasequoia defenders! Your army shall not delay without reason, and anyone who is afraid of war will be beheaded according to military law!" ”

Bah! After listening to the herald's words, Gerhan deliberately spat on the ground with disdain, and then waved his big hand: "Sons, set up the formation, advance!" ”

-

"General Xu, the Chechi Legion has finally begun to move!"

Xu Youchang sat on the war horse, located in the center of the Metasequoia Army's large array, calmly commanding the soldiers of all units, struggling to resist the onslaught of the Loulan people. At this time, when he heard his subordinates shouting these words, he hurriedly looked into the distance, and sure enough, he found that the new force that had rested for more than half a day had already moved forward.

Xu You raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly turned to look at the head of Metasequoia City. A red sword banner that he had been looking forward to for a long time in his heart was erected at this time!

There is a figure standing under it, it is the commander-in-chief of the Metasequoia garrison - Li Jiangyao.

"The assault battalion listens to the order, and all of them get on board!"

With Xu Youchang's order, the thousand white-robed soldiers hidden in the large array jumped on the armored war horses that had been prepared for a long time, shook off the white cloak behind them, and raised fifty snow-white flags embroidered with fiery red nan brocade flowers at the same time.

From a distance, this flag array seemed to be in the huge position of the Metasequoia Army, suddenly blooming a bouquet of white flowers, gently swaying against the wind.

Xu Youchang looked at the city again, the red sword flag had been held in Li Jiangyao's hand at this moment, only to see him suddenly raise his arms high and wave it violently in the air.

This is the signal to attack!

Xu Youchang put down the iron helmet mask, pointed the spear forward, and shouted: "Attack!" ”

The soldiers of all arms in the front row of the position also received orders from the officers they led at this time, and they flashed to both sides in a quick and orderly manner, and in the blink of an eye, they gave way to a wide passage. The white-robed army lowered their masks almost at the same time, and then urged their horses to move forward in high spirits.

Since the early morning battle between the enemy and us, the Western Xinjiang Alliance has always been the main attack, and the Metasequoia garrison has defended. The men and horses on both sides, with the three phalanxes of the Metasequoia Army as the point of contention, launched repeated battles.

So far, the Alekjiang has successively invested nearly 12 phalanx infantry cavalry troops, with a total of about 30,000 soldiers and horses, taking turns to attack the Metasequoia position. After nearly three hours, the Loulan army paid the price of thousands of casualties, but still failed to break the defense line of the Metasequoia army.

Under Durham's reminder, the thunderous Alekjiang finally realized that the opponent in front of him was extraordinary, and he couldn't help but regret that he had sacrificed his combat power in vain.

So, he immediately changed his mind, and while ordering the horn to be blown to summon his sons to withdraw, he desperately urged the Che Chi army, who was standing by, to hurry up and replace the tired Loulan disciples.

At this time, the four Loulan infantry phalanxes, which had been fighting fiercely in the front, began to break away from the battle according to the order and gradually retreated back to make room for the 15,000 Chi troops who were coming from the left rear.

The Che Chi army also discharged four formations, but they were a mix of infantry and cavalry, and the array was relatively loose and moved very slowly.

Many of Gelhan's subordinates were born as horse bandits, and they were not used to large-scale frontal battles, especially after seeing the tragic situation of the Loulan army before, they were even more reluctant. Helplessly, no matter how much the military order was delayed, Che Chi's army gradually approached the retreating Loulan army, preparing to cross the phalanx and attack the Metasequoia soldiers.

Loulan's side was physically and mentally exhausted, and at the same time had to avoid being hit by the metasequoia shooters on the way back, so the retreat became faster and faster; Che Chi knew that he was losing his death, so he naturally had to procrastinate, so he walked slower and slower.

In this way, when the two friendly armies met, they were in a position much further back than Alikjiang had expected, and they were only less than five hundred paces away from their main formation.

However, as the commander-in-chief, Alikjiang didn't pay too much attention to this detail at this time, after all, as long as Gelhan was willing to go up and send him to death. But what he didn't expect was that the Metasequoia garrison was waiting for this situation!

Just as the two troops in rotation were getting closer and closer and were about to meet, the Metasequoia Array, which had been on the defensive, suddenly moved!

The huge "white flower" that had bloomed before moved at high speed in the Metasequoia formation, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed out from the left side of the position.

"Long live our emperor! Kill, kill, kill! ”

The unique charge battle horn that belongs to the Zhenjiang Protectorate suddenly exploded on the battlefield!
