With Tanli's order, more than two dozen ragged and wounded people, escorted by the Golden Wolf Army, rushed out of the rear formation and knelt in a row in front of the Zijin Pass.

Tanley pointed at those people and sneered at Gemma, "Keep your eyes open and see, who are they?" Those two, yes, are the two on the very edge. Earl of Tork and Baron Nest, they're your own nephews. Hey, speaking of which, they are all from the oldest aristocratic family in the Turks. Tsk, what a pity. Oh, and the one kneeling here, isn't he your nephew Grumman? Known as the first warrior of the Night Wheel Clan? If I'm not mistaken, he seems to be the son of the Duke of Belém. By the way, there is also this one, oops, even more amazing. In terms of seniority, do you call him uncle? Is it an uncle? ……”

Thanley rode his horse back and forth in front of the platoon, pointing at each of them and shouting to the city. The defenders could all hear clearly, they were either close relatives of Gemar Khan, or important nobles or generals of the Yelun clan.

These unlucky guys are all the commanders of the Yakut Legion who participated in the Eastern Crusade with Ashina. After Gema's affair was revealed, the eldest prince Chili, in order to draw a clear line with him, personally took action, arrested all these former close comrades-in-arms, and escorted them to Zijin Pass by Kunli Mingtai.

Seeing his relatives, friends, and subordinates kneeling in front of the Golden Clan's knife like lambs to the slaughter, Gema couldn't help but feel anxious.

Previously, he had planned to send someone to secretly contact these people who were far away on the front line of the Eastern Crusade, telling them to take precautions as soon as possible, and even find an opportunity to withdraw to Zijin Pass to rendezvous. But considering that this matter is too dangerous, once the news leaks out, it will startle the snake and arouse the vigilance of Ashina Jin and the Golden Clan.

Therefore, he did not report to the clansmen for a long time.

Now it seems that the Yakut soldiers in the Eastern Crusade army must have been more than lucky.

Gemar propped his hands on the battlements, leaned his fat body out of the wall, and shouted at the city: "Thanli, you see, they are not only my relatives and friends, but also the meritorious men who have followed your father Khan for many years. My affairs in the ghost desert of the Western Xinjiang have nothing to do with these people, you can't ......"

"They're all Night Wheel Clan, so they're all guilty!" Tanli directly interrupted Gema Khan's words: "In the Turks, this is the minimum common sense, have you forgotten? Gemma, I don't intend to threaten you with their lives to surrender, because you and they, as well as all the people of the Wheel of the Night, must die! Now, just let these guys give you a start. ”

He turned around and commanded the soldiers: "The Night Wheel tribe has betrayed the Blood Alliance, betrayed the Great Khan, betrayed the Golden Clan, and betrayed the entire Turkic Empire!" They are innocent! Kill! ”

As soon as the military order came out, the sword fell in his hand.

In the blink of an eye, more than two dozen night wheel nobles and high-ranking officers of the Yatut Legion all fell to the ground, and red blood flowed everywhere.

Tamli smiled with satisfaction, then raised his saber and shouted towards the city: "Gema, if you still have a little Turkic blood, don't be like Tang Manzi, who only knows how to hide in his shell as a shrinking turtle!" Take your sons out and fight to the death with my Golden Wolf Army! Avenge your kinship, do you dare?! ”

At this time, the Yakut soldiers who were at the Zijin Pass were all aroused by Tanli's brutality and provocative words, and shouted at Gemma: "Khan, fight!" Fight with the Golden Family! We night wheel people don't have bad seeds! ”

Looking at the corpse outside the city, Gemma's eyes gradually turned blood-red, the muscles on his cheeks bulged high, trembling, and his clenched molars creaked.

"Eight Lambs!" Gema slapped the wall battlements angrily and roared angrily, "Soldiers! Out of the city to fight! ”

Seeing this, a local general in Western Xinjiang hurriedly dissuaded: "Khan, the enemy is obviously doing this to provoke you, so you must not be impulsive!" Without the order of Dadu Hu, if you kill it so rashly, you will suffer a big loss! ”

Gema waved her big hand and said categorically: "You don't talk nonsense!" Now it's my own business, it's none of your business, it's not about Daduhu! I'll only take the Yakut Legion into battle, so you can stay and defend the city!" ”

-

Li Jiangyao gently stroked the pattern on the handle of the Starfall Knife, and silently stared at the small square in front of the old warehouse, his eyes were full of cold killing intent.

The ghost-faced white-robed army in ambush around the square, like his main general, quietly looked at the small square.

At this time, the door of the old warehouse was opened, and a large number of heavily armed Turks slipped out of it, gathering in the small square.

Not long ago, the Western Frontier Army came to report that Gema Khan led 10,000 Yakut cavalry out of the city to fight Thanli because he wanted to avenge the slain of his relatives, and Li Jiangyao was even more convinced that the enemy was very likely to use this secret passage.

Zijin Pass was originally the territory of the Zhenjiang Protectorate, and Li Jiangyao, as the captain of the Pegasus Scout Battalion, had the terrain information of the whole of Western Xinjiang in his hands, how could he not know about the existence of the secret passage?

Li Jiangyao had judged before that after the Turks captured Zijin Pass, whether they were looking at the core city defense map or carrying out a safe search inside and outside the pass, most of them could detect the existence of the secret passage.

If this assumption is true, then the second prince Tanli, who is a high-ranking Turkic and is also in charge of foreign and intelligence affairs, will certainly not be unaware of, let alone easily ignore this advantageous condition.

Especially when his siege equipment was destroyed by a sneak attack, he still had to launch a large army to attack Zijin Pass, which further increased the possibility of the other party entering the city through a secret passage to sneak attack.

Sure enough, just after Gema led his troops out of the city to fight the Golden Wolf Army of Tanley, in less than half an hour, the old warehouse where the entrance and exit of the secret passage was located had the expected movement.

At first, there was a slight and imperceptible sound of the mechanism, indicating that the secret passage was being secretly opened, and then the sound of the rope was constantly coming, which was the sound of many people moving.

Later, the door of the old warehouse was opened from the inside.

The door had just opened, and several Turkic warriors who acted like civets came out of the crack in the door and quickly scattered all over the small square, guarding and arming. After making sure there were no anomalies around, one of them signaled to the old warehouse.

After a while, the door of the old warehouse was suddenly completely opened, and the first group of nearly 100 Turkic Blood Guards swarmed out and gathered in the square. They watched their surroundings vigilantly while providing cover for their companions who came out one after another.

Li Jiangyao knew in his heart that the secret passage was relatively wide, even allowing war horses to pass through, and there were also many vents directly to the ground within a distance of hundreds of zhang to ensure the fresh air in the secret passage.

However, this passage was for scouts and heralds, and no matter how wide it was, it could not accommodate thousands of troops to pass freely. Therefore, even if the Turks wanted to use this place to sneak attack Zijin Pass, it would be difficult to put too many troops in a short period of time.

In addition, if too many people enter the passage at the same time, not only will the passage become congested and difficult to navigate, but there may also be a risk of suffocation due to the rapid reduction of air consumption.

In this case, the Turkic troops who planned to infiltrate Zijin Pass could only move into the city little by little, like ants moving. The scale of a thousand people is difficult to transport in an hour.

Now that I calculate the time, almost half an hour has passed, and the Turkic soldiers in the small square are gathering more and more, and there are about three or four hundred people, and the guys who look like a few officers are gathering together at this moment, discussing something in a low voice.

At this moment, a burly, bearded Turk came out of the old warehouse, and as soon as the officers saw that it was him, they all immediately gathered around him, and their expressions were very respectful.

Li Jiangyao looked at it in his eyes, and said secretly in his heart: It seems that the big fish has appeared.

He slowly pulled out the Starfall Knife and glanced at his subordinates.

After everyone nodded silently in response, Li Jiangyao stood up suddenly, waved his knife forward, and shouted angrily: "Kill me!" ”

Long live our emperor!

In an instant, shouts outside the old warehouse of Zijin Pass shook the sky.

Arrows shot from all directions, catching the Turks in the square by surprise. In just a few breaths, seventy or eighty people were shot on the spot, and the rest of the Blood Guards, who had narrowly escaped, turned around and ran, retreating into the old warehouse, desperately dodging the dense array of arrows.

As soon as the bow and arrow strikes stopped, countless white-robed warriors slaughtered from the surrounding houses and streets, and pounced on the Turks who had not had time to hide.

Li Jiangyao stared at the Turkic general, rushed to him almost without touching the ground, and slashed angrily with his sword.

Where the blade rises, the stars scatter.

The sharp sword technique completely enveloped the man in an instant, and it was even more violent than the previous round of arrow rain.

That Turkic general was none other than Kunli Mingtai, the leader of the Blood Guard, who saw the menacing Xingluo knife and knew that he had encountered a top master, so he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly concentrated all ten percent of his internal force on the scimitar and struggled to resist.

With a series of crisp metal crashing sounds, Kun Li Mingtai staggered back seven or eight steps, and the hand holding the knife, along with his entire arm, was shocked to soreness, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly.

It was only at this time that he had a chance to see his opponent's appearance clearly, and suddenly shouted in shock and anger: "Are you ...... Metasequoia Baron! ”

Hearing Kunli Mingtai shout out his name, Li Jiangyao also vaguely remembered that when he sent Princess He Sijia back to the Turkic camp, there seemed to be this guy in front of him in the welcoming crowd.

Li Jiangyao's martial arts are far above Kunli Mingtai, and he has an absolute advantage at this time, so he smiled while making a move: "Which one are you?" My sword doesn't kill the nameless! ”

Kunli Mingtai was aroused by Li Jiangyao's words, and scolded angrily: "Bastard! It's not certain who will die! ”

With that, he picked up his scimitar sharply and pounced on Li Jiangyao desperately.
