The winter scenery in the Western Regions is beautiful. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The birch forest covered with rime, the small wooden houses piled with snow piled into mushrooms, the snowcocks pacing in square steps on the snow, the foxes probing their brains in the forest, and the people outside the Seychelles in big leather jackets and sleds speeding on the reckless snowfield...... Everything seems to be quiet, and the movement in the stillness gives people the feeling that it is also quiet, and in the middle of it, the heart will also be quiet, as if all the troubles of the world can be left behind.

When leaving Pingliangguan and entering the Yibi, the snow-covered peaks in the distance are frozen into ice and covered with snow, and the glacier with the same color as the snow field but vaguely shows the shape of the river, the fluffy reeds covered with snowflakes, the poplars like bunches of torches burning into the sky, and the shallow ripples carved out by the wind in the sand dunes in the distance, which really make people feel that they don't know what year it is!

It's just that this kind of scenery is very amazing when you first look at it, but you have to look at the same scenery for two or three days in a row, and during this time, you have to keep trekking through the snowfield, it is not a pleasure, but an unspeakable torment.

Guo Jia sat on the horse, his waist was straight, he didn't even wear a scarf, looking left and right, very calm. This actually has little to do with physical fitness, although it is cold in the Western Regions, but when the wind calms down in most areas, it is warmer than Yanjing.

Guo Jia grabbed the reins of the horse, looked around, and ordered: "It's getting late, let's camp here, the soldiers are divided into two roads, and they are stationed on the two slopes of the valley mouth nearby, and on the other side of the hillside and the valley mouth, and stationed the fixed sentry and the flow sentry!" Guo Jia belongs to the master of the strategic level, but for the specific affairs of marching and sentry, he is not as good as these soldiers with actual combat experience, so along the way, about the camping deployment, he basically asked Xing Tian's opinion, Wei Yan is mainly experienced in the Central Plains War, the customs and customs outside the Saiwai, and the combat methods are not very familiar, so he mainly follows Xing Tian's advice. Guo Jia's choice at the moment was decent, but there was no flaw, Xing Tian agreed, and immediately ordered to go down, and the three armies were to enter the valley and set up camp in the leeward and sunny place.

The outpost went first, went to the valley to survey the terrain, check whether there was an ambush, more than 100 rode into the valley, there were those who tended to move forward, and there were also those who abandoned their horses to go up the mountain and retrieve the mountains and forests. The horses had disappeared into the valley, and it seemed that they were going all the way to the end of the valley. The soldiers who searched both sides of the valley were very careful, and some of the high places were difficult to climb with their bare hands, so they threw their flying catches, and climbed them by the trees on the high places, and looked at the posture, and they had to check until they reached the top of the valley.

Suddenly, the horn of "Woo~~~~~~" sounded, echoing in the valley, poignant and desolate. High on both sides of the valley, countless figures suddenly jumped out of the snow, and with their movements, huge stones covered with snow also rumbled down the hillside, wrapped in a plume of flying snow, and smashed heavily in the middle of the valley, the sound was very terrifying!

Xing Tian's face changed, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Form a formation, meet the enemy!" The sound of hooves was like thunder, echoing in the valley.

A scout rode his horse and roared, "There is an ambush!"

He didn't need to shout anymore, everyone saw that behind him, a team of iron horsemen and locusts were swarming, and the scout saw his team, and let out a breath, and suddenly his body went limp, and he fell on the back of his horse, and on his back, he had already shot more than ten sharp arrows.

The sergeant in front of him made way and let the horse in, but before the scout could dismount, several soldiers rushed up to catch him.

"It's over!"

A lieutenant only saw the wound on his back clearly, and said miserably.

Xing Tian sat on his horse, had already taken off his hard bow, and mounted a wolf tooth arrow that could penetrate three layers of heavy armor, and a pair of big eyes were cold: "My lord, this is the 'little whirlwind' of the horse thief in the Western Regions!"

The sound fell, the strings sounded, a wolf's tooth arrow had been shot away, rushing to the front of a horse thief face door arrow, was carried down by the arrow force and fell on his back, and Xing Tian's second arrow had been shot, this arrow shot his horse, the arrow to the horse servant, Xing Tian's third arrow flew out again.

Lianzhu arrows, the most brilliant archery skills of the Jebe-level archers on the grassland, Xing Tianneng can shoot down two people and two horses with four arrows, and the cavalry that came like a tide behind was blocked by these two people and two corpses, tripping many people in a row, stirring up a piece of snow, and the people behind had time to turn their horses to avoid it, and came around from both sides.

Guo Jia sat beside him, looked at the horse thieves rolling in, and exclaimed, "Horse thief, there is such a might! This little whirlwind is very famous in the Western Regions?"

By this time, the horse thieves had already met their advance, and the horse thieves on both sides of the mountain were rushing down the mountain, and the scouts sent to explore the way up the mountain were engaged with them, and went around to the outer edge of the valley.

Xing Tiandao: "The leader of this 'little whirlwind' is called Naiyi, one of the best families in Shazhou, and later because he offended the magnates, he has always been domineering when he runs his own business, which angered several other major families in Shazhou. Naiyi was furious, and simply led people to become horse thieves, and after more than ten years, he annexed several powerful horse thieves in the Western Regions, as if it was already a force that could not be ignored by anyone. ”

Xing Tian said, scanning the two sides in front of him, listening to the sonorous sound of weapons clashing, his hand was only raised, and he did not see the movement of buckling the string and holding the bow, an arrow had been shot ghostly, and a horse thief who was fighting was hit by an arrow in his heart, and he dismounted with a shout.

Xing Tian smiled and said: "Naiyi is a one-eyed dragon, the last general has dealt with him, and his one-eyed dragon is the one shot by the last general." A few years ago, the last general went to Aksu to perform official duties, which is righteous, and the most hated is the official and the rich gentry, who actually relied on a large number of people to rob the last general, but was shot in his left eye by an arrow by the last general, and also saved a mother and daughter who were taken captive by him to prepare to be the wife of the village. Hehe......"

While speaking, Xing Tian's hands did not stop, and he had already shot five arrows in a row, and the arrows killed people.

Knowing that the other party is a horse thief, it seems that he is robbing again. His line, although there are heavy guards, but there is no shortage of vehicles in the middle, both the identity of the official, and the identity of the noble, the ears and eyes of the horse thief have found the news, naturally they are going to make a profit, but unfortunately, they are really unlucky this time, although the horse thieves have nearly 5,000 people, how can they be compared with the elite iron cavalry of Xiliang?

Only then did he notice that there was an ambush, Xing Tian had already laid down a Yanling array to meet the enemy according to the topography of the valley mouth, and the rear set up a circle formation in the second line of defense to protect himself, such a formation, coupled with such an excellent army and horses, even if it was tens of thousands of elite soldiers, could not be at the mercy of this small valley mouth, and he would not want to break through for a while, let alone this gang of horse thieves.

If they noticed something different at that time, they immediately retreated, it would be bad, as soon as the three armies retreated, the formation was chaotic, even if it was an elite army, if it was only a mass of scattered sand, it could not resist this group of wolf-like horse thieves from charging, once they broke into the camp and started a melee, the advantage of the army was gone.

"My lord, the last general will go to the front, since they dare to come, if they don't kill him, they will inevitably weaken the prestige of my Xiliang army!"

Guo Jiawei bowed his head: "General be careful!"

Xing Tian shook the reins of his horse, then drew his sword and rushed forward.

Naiyi used to be a big man on the sandbank, and a family that wants to gain a foothold in a place like the sandbank must have private soldiers, especially listening to Xing Tian's introduction, this Naiyi even offended the powerful and rich gentry of the sandbank, and the strength of its force can be imagined. It must be known that in the bitter cold place outside the Saiwai, most of the powerful and wealthy families collude with each other and have a close relationship, which is how righteous can get other families who are also wealthy families to regard them as thorns in their eyes, and their character can be imagined.

And arrogance is the need for capital, at that time Naiyi, must have had a very strong army, after the rebellion out of the sandbank, scattered all the wealth, recruited troops, and started a business without capital, force is their only reliance, in this regard is naturally more spared. Most of the horse thieves in front of them have soft armor, knives and spears, longbows on their backs, and small shields on their saddles, and they are equipped with more complete equipment than ordinary formal cavalry, no wonder they dare to rob even the army.

After watching for a while, Guo Jia ordered: "Move the formation, retreat!"

Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "My lord, we didn't show our defeat, don't worry, they can't help us!"

Guo Jia pointed to the valley and said: "The terrain in front of you is not conducive to the horse thieves to develop their superiority in strength, but once the situation is not good, it is easy for them to escape, let them out and annihilate them all!"

When it came to the end, Guo Jia was already murderous.
