Riding and Blade: Laughing Wind and Cloud Road

Chapter 41

A crescent moon hangs high in the dark night sky, bleak and dull.The thick black clouds hid all the stars behind them, and even the crescent moon was sometimes blocked by the fast-moving clouds.The whole land was shrouded in darkness.

The vanguard of the Kusaites escorted hundreds of carts full of food supplies and walked slowly.Behind the convoy is a flock of white sheep, which are very eye-catching in the dark night.Hundreds of cavalry soldiers held high torches and walked on both sides of the long convoy.Looking from a distance, it looks like a slender fire dragon.

The tall and burly Stephen Xia pointed at the burning torches in the hands of the guards beside him, pointed at a stretch of hills that could be vaguely seen in the night, and asked loudly, "What is this place?"

"My lord, this is Luanshi Mountain, about ten kilometers away from Gledeng." An orderly replied loudly.

Stephen Xia said very happily: "We're about to reach Gledden's camp soon. Pass the order, and the troops will speed up and pass through this mountainous area quickly, trying to reach Gledden in the middle of the night."

But he did not hear the voice of the orderly answering.He looked back angrily, his eyes widened immediately.The orderly grasped the long arrow piercing through his chest tightly with both hands, and opened his mouth wide, with pain and fear on his face.He died without a sound, and slowly fell back on the horse's back.

Immediately he heard something screaming in the air, tearing the air, and the wind in the night seemed to be dodging its sharp edge.He tried his best to open his eyes wide and looked into the night, hoping to find that strange screaming thing.

Suddenly countless long arrows appeared in his sight like ghosts.He instinctively let out a desperate and powerless cry. He wanted to dodge, but his body stiffened on the horse's back involuntarily.

"Puff...Puff...Puff..." The sound of the arrows plunging into the body was dull and piercing, as dense as rain.

The bodies of Stephen Xia and the guards around him trembled violently as the continuous flying arrows were continuously pierced into them, followed by the screams, the sound of corpses falling to the ground, the painful hiss of war horses, and the horrific shouts of soldiers, All of a sudden, there was a sound, tearing the tranquility of the night into bloody pieces.

Seen from a distance in the dark night, the slender fire dragon of the escort team seemed to have been attacked by countless sharp weapons. It immediately twisted violently and trembled. Then the fire dragon began to break, its body began to separate, and then burst into pieces, and the flames began to scatter in disorder. All over the mountains and plains, they burst into flames.

Stephen Xia looked at the pitch-black field, and felt that it was like a bloodthirsty beast, devouring countless innocent and weak lives brutally and bloodily.With the last of his strength, he raised his hands and roared loudly.

He has the strength of a whole body, he has powerful skills, and he has superb martial arts skills. Because of his martial arts skills that are the best in the world in the arena, he is regarded as a guest of honor by the principals and officials from all over the world.After settling in Chaikan, he easily won the Spring Hunting Championship for six consecutive times, and was personally named the "Star of Chaikan" by Wuerhun Khan. But now he lost his life inexplicably, without even a chance to fight back.He was not reconciled, he felt that he was too useless to die.A long arrow suddenly shot into his throat, piercing out with a pool of blood.

"Star of Chaikan" Stephen Xia fell off his horse, covered in arrows like a hedgehog.

Long arrows roared continuously from different directions and shot towards both sides of the convoy.The cavalry guarding the convoy were sparsely distributed on both sides of the convoy. Due to the continuous rush, the speed of the convoy was slow. Because of the strict military discipline of the commander, the soldiers could not leave the team to rest at will, so they could only follow the convoy all the time. This made them Feeling haggard and very tired all the way, many people lazily lay on their horses to rest secretly.

This sudden sneak attack gave them a blow to the head, causing heavy casualties.The cavalrymen, who were lucky enough to escape the catastrophe, got off their horses and hid under the carts.There were also some soldiers who were panicked and didn't know what to do. Some rode their horses and ran into the night, and some fled to both ends of the convoy.

The sound of horns suddenly sounded from the hills on both sides of the convoy.Jiu Ling'er led the cavalry to charge out from the mountain on the left side of the convoy, and Talos led the cavalry to charge out from the mountain on the right side of the convoy.The distance of seven to eighty meters, running from the mountain to the foot of the mountain, is there in an instant.

The sound of ox horns, shouts of killing, the screams of the enemy in fear, and the roar of galloping horses immediately resounded through the rocky mountain.

Jiu Ling'er's saber flew out of the night, and slashed and killed an enemy soldier who was rushing towards the enemy head-on.The guard Liezha galloped past and bent down to pick up a discarded torch from the ground. Under the cover of a group of soldiers, he galloped along the convoy, lighting the carriage all the way.The sporadic enemy soldiers encountered on the road were either kicked to death by galloping horses, or were hacked and shot by knives and arrows by the wolf-like Karad warriors, and died unexpectedly.

The other Calad warriors who rode around the convoy also took the opportunity to pick up the torches abandoned by the enemy, throw them on the carriage at will and ignite all the ignitable things on it.For a moment most of the carriages in the convoy were ablaze.Especially the wagon loaded with fodder.

The flames soared into the sky, and the flames soared into the sky.

Zhuye crawled out from under the carriage in a state of embarrassment, and with the help of several guards, hurriedly rode on a war horse and fled into the darkness for his life.

Alan with a red beard came roaring towards him with a group of cavalrymen.The two sides fought hand in hand, catching each other and fighting.

When the red beard's sword was swung, there was a frightening howl.Zhuye was suddenly attacked and his own people had no room to fight back, and the food and grass were about to be lost. Under the enraged attack, his martial arts were greatly reduced.He blocked the red beard's slash with all his strength, trying to rush under the red beard's knife.The red beard took advantage of the situation and swung the round broadsword, with a loud roar, he chopped off half of the ass of Zhuye's horse with a slanted knife.Zhuye's war horse suffered pain and leaped up with a miserable hiss.

In panic, Zhuye didn't grab the rein, and was thrown heavily from the horse's back.The war horse fell to the ground and kept howling, trying to stand up, but there was nothing he could do.

Zhuye's body was flying in the air.A Calad cavalry galloped past and chopped him with a knife.Zhuye flew upside down and fell to the ground, and was immediately trampled by a group of galloping horses.

Feather swore to gallop, followed by Atezor leading a large group of Karad cavalry, they roared loudly, and pursued a group of deserters.Ba Qi looked back at the burning convoy, and could hardly believe his eyes.In less than a cup of tea, the entire escort team was wiped out, and all the food and grass were destroyed. The unimaginable thing finally happened to me today.

"Shoot the horse, shoot the horse..." Yu Shi saw that many enemies had already run into the darkness, so he couldn't help shouting anxiously.More than a dozen long arrows flew away with the oath's shout.

Ba Qi's horse writhed in pain after being hit by several arrows, and then it was shot into the eye. The horse couldn't bear the arrow that went straight into the eye, and immediately fell to the ground. The huge inertial force rolled on the ground for a dozen times before stopping.Immediately he saw four strong horse legs.Ba Qi raised his head and saw a general in full armor sitting on a tall horse with a long halberd in his hand, staring at him with murderous eyes.

Baqi's subordinates saw that they were being pointed at by the enemy with a halberd, and they were in danger, so they rushed forward one by one.The one who fell off the horse ran towards the direction where Ba Qi was lying, regardless of his own life or death.Those who did not fall off the horse turned the horse's head and came back again.

Atezuo gave a strange cry and roared loudly: "Kill..., kill...", he took the lead in slashing at an enemy soldier who came back on horseback with his sword raised high.

Seeing his subordinates being killed by the enemy one by one, Ba Qi was furious.Suddenly he jumped up, roared frantically, and grabbed Feather Oath's halberd with his bare hands.Yu swore coldly snorted, and using force with both hands, the halberd quickly pierced into Ba Qi's chest.

The Calade cavalry warriors were divided into more than a dozen groups of centurions, surrounded the long convoy, and charged back and forth.All of them scrambled to be the first to kill the enemy bravely, and the shouts of killing were earth-shattering and endless.Although the horses' hoofs were wrapped with cowhide and their mouths were covered with cages, the fierce ambitions of the war horses did not diminish in the slightest on the battlefield. The master must be more brave.

Cusette was badly shot by the initial long arrow raid, and many soldiers were shot and killed mercilessly.But before they woke up from the shadow and terror of death, the ferocious Calad cavalry suddenly descended from the sky and massacred them mercilessly.

The movement and speed of the raid on the Karad cavalry was so fast that the escort team had no time or way to organize the soldiers to resist and fight back except for death, escape, and screams.

The swords are flying, the horses are galloping, and the long arrows are howling in the flames.Kusaite soldiers fled around the battlefield like headless chickens, crying for their father and mother. They kept screaming, or were shot by long arrows, or were hacked to death by swords, or were hit and trampled by horses, or were thrown. Into the burning cart burned alive.The Kusaites, who had nowhere to go and raised their hands to surrender, also did not escape the fate of death.The Calad soldiers were so blood-thirsty that they didn't care whether the opponent had given up their resistance. As long as they touched the enemy, they would wave their weapons and kill bloodily.

The battle ended quickly, except for two or three hundred enemy soldiers who escaped in the dark, the rest were all wiped out.Jiu Ling'er ordered to check the number of people. The team sacrificed more than 30 soldiers and injured more than 40 when they surrounded and wiped out the enemy.

The fallen comrades were immediately buried, and the wounded, escorted by a centurion, rushed overnight to the place where the river had been crossed this morning and returned to the city of Odriza.

Horns of regrouping troops sounded in the night.

Uncle Tiza looked at the thousands of dead sheep ready to be buried in the big pit in the valley, and shook his head heartbroken. "So many sheep can save a lot of people. It would be a pity to bury them all."

Jiu Ling'er watched helplessly, and waved to order the soldiers to quickly fill in the soil.He stood on the hillside, looking at the battlefield full of dead bodies, smelling the pungent blood and burnt smell in the night wind, his heart twitched violently.

"War is like this, ruthless, bloody and cruel. But there are people who like it." Looking at so many sheep, Jiu Ling'er felt sorry.

Lie Zha ran over and asked excitedly, "My lord, if the rations and fodder of the Kusaites are cut off, will they withdraw their troops?"

"Not yet. If we can hit them hard again, Bo Luji and Hu Meng will probably flee back to Aizenur City instead of withdrawing to Aizenur City."

Jiu Ling'er and his soldiers took a last look at the blazing supply convoy which had turned into a huge fire dragon before disappearing into the pitch-black night.

Kazaban led the troops to ambush four kilometers away from the Shankoudu River.

The news from the scouts made Kajipan and Scarface very excited.A Karad army began to cross the river in the evening.But they only came over 200 people, and then stopped the action.In the middle of the night, the pass was fully lit, and Callard began to cross the river again.More than a dozen boats shuttled back and forth on the Wesis River, and boatloads of soldiers were sent to the other side.

After receiving the news that about 1000 people from Karad had crossed the river, Kazaban immediately led his troops to set off quietly.Hiding two kilometers away from the Wesis River, the troops lined up in a charge formation.

The soldiers sat quietly on their horses, waiting for the sound of the charging horns.The scouts of the stab-like troops rushed to them.

"My lord, something is wrong. Karad has discovered our army, and all the troops have withdrawn."

Kazaba hardly believed his ears, "Didn't you just report to me that more than 1000 Karad people have crossed the river? How long has it been since the enemy retreated?"

"That's true. Just now, the Calad soldiers were still lining up on the river bank. In a blink of an eye, they all ran to the other side of the river." The scout also said in bewilderment.

"Is your observation location very close to them?" Scarface asked.

"Yes. The Caladians are very careless. When they crossed the river, they only arranged a few teams of mobile sentries. We can observe them very conveniently."

Kajiba and Scarface glanced at each other.

"It seems that their scouts have spotted us. Let's retreat, it will be a waste of time." He sighed and said disappointedly.

Not long after they retreated, a scout Pegasus arrived.

"My lord, Karard is crossing the river again." He laughed like a jerk.

"Have you seen clearly?" Scarface wondered if they really did their best.

"See clearly. The enemy has crossed the river again." The scout said firmly.

Kaji and Dao Scar looked at each other in dismay, puzzled.If the Caladians had spotted them, they would never have ventured across the river as a rule of thumb.Now that the enemy is moving again, is it possible that the enemy decided to continue crossing the river after discovering that the previous intelligence was wrong and made a false alarm?
"My lord, let the scouts explore again. It won't be too late for us to dispatch after all the enemies have crossed the river." Scarface said slowly.

He nodded his head stably, signaling the scouts to step back and explore again.

"I don't know if the "Star of Chaikan" has reached Gleden?" Kaciban always felt that something strange happened tonight, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.He suddenly thought of the troops sending supplies to Gledon.I haven't heard from them since nightfall.

"It's only 40 kilometers away from Gledon. According to the speed, they should have arrived. Don't worry, sir. There will be news before dawn." Scarface said comfortingly.

About an hour later, the scout flew to report. "My lord, Karard withdrew again." The scout gasped heavily and panted.

Pain-like and scarred faces changed color at the same time.

"I've been fooled. This is the small Calad force holding back our main force. Their main force must have gone deep into Gledon's only way to attack our supply troops." Scarface said in a panic.

With a wry smile, he was fooled. "It's been seven or eight hours since we received news from the "Star of Chaikan". I'm afraid their entire army has been wiped out. The enemy is very ruthless and bold enough."

"It must be Jiu Ling'er again. This brat is a ghost, only he can think of such a thing." Scarface said fiercely.

"My lord, what should we do now?" Scarface couldn't help asking when he saw that he was sitting on the edge of the table without saying a word.

Shaking his head helplessly, he said in a low voice, "We'll wait until the news about the 'Star of Chaikan' arrives."

After another hour, the news from the Wesis River once again confirmed that the idea of ​​Kaji and Scarface was correct.Callard began another frantic crossing operation, which was simply a bluff.

A gallop came, and the crisp and rapid sound of horseshoes approached from far away. "My lord, something is wrong."

Scouts who were far away shouted loudly.The hearts of Chiba and Scarface were beating violently, and the two of them even felt a little difficult to breathe.They looked serious and looked at the scout together.

"I found the enemy's brigade, about three kilometers away from our main force."

Staring at each other with a scarred face, he was stunned.

Suddenly, he realized that he had made a mistake, an unforgivable mistake.

Before his departure, Mulek warned himself repeatedly that as long as the troops achieved the main purpose of this battle, it would be equivalent to mastering the initiative on the battlefield. Whether the troops advance or retreat, there is no need to impose rules at all, depending on the situation of the battle. Development is free to choose.But there is a principle, that is, the interests of the overall situation should not be compromised for a small profit on the local battlefield, let alone make the troops pay a high price for a victory that has nothing to do with the overall situation, which in turn will affect the strength of the entire army and the development of the entire battle situation .If the Caladians on the other side of the Wesis River did come to attack Gledon's camp, he might be able to make a contribution.But the facts in front of him now proved that his judgment was wrong.

I was greedy for credit, and divided my troops to attack the enemy without authorization, and fell into the trick of the Karad people to lure the enemy.If this leads to an attack on the supply convoy, the consequences will be very serious.The army has no other way but to retreat urgently.What is even more frightening is that the horses lack fodder, and the fate of tens of thousands of horses is at stake.Now Kaciban can only pray that nothing will happen to the "Star of Chaikan".

"My lord..." Scarface yelled out quickly when he saw how depressed and lost his soul was.The situation is now very critical. There are a large number of Caladian troops in the front and back of the troops. If they are not handled properly, they may be attacked by the enemy.

"My father once said that I was not made to lead soldiers to fight, and I have always been unconvinced. Now it seems that he is right. I am impulsive and act rashly, and I am indeed not made to lead soldiers." Said dejectedly.

"My lord..." Scarface looked at him strangely, and said softly: "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is normal to make mistakes in judgment. It seems unnecessary to worry about such a trivial matter?"

He smiled wryly like a thorn.

"My father is good at fighting and is famous all over the world. Compared with his old man, I am not as good as shit. If I say I am not discouraged, it is a lie."

"It's not a big deal, it's just a small setback. I've seen it a lot. Do you want to fight the Calads?" Scarface asked.

"Forget it. The enemy has come prepared, and their strength has surpassed ours. The loss in the fight is too great. Before they form a siege to us, retreat."

"In what direction?"

"All the way to the north, back to Aizenur." Said calmly like a stab.

Scarface opened his eyes wide and said loudly, "Aren't we going to Gledon?"

"What are you going to do? Humeng and Boluji have already retreated from the city of Odessa, and the commander-in-chief's goal has been basically achieved. As long as Gledon's troops get supplies, they will immediately withdraw to the city of Aizenur."

"Are you so sure?" Scarface looked at him with disbelief and asked suspiciously.

Shaking his head like a jerk, he smiled contemptuously and said, "Boluji, Boluji's troops are basically gone. Without the strength, the coach Boluji is useless for talking. Now that Humeng is talking about retreating, he dares to say nothing. No word? He and Bo Luqin are not thinking about attacking the city of Odryusa now, but are thinking about how to end badly and how to save the lives of their relatives after returning to Kuset."

"But Humeng's message told us to rush to Gledon? If we don't go, will it be..." Scarface was a little embarrassed.

He smiled helplessly.

"Tiger Meng has always been meticulous in carrying out the instructions of the Generalissimo, so he rarely makes mistakes. He will withdraw immediately after receiving supplies. It is not very important whether we go or not." He looked at Scar like a stab.

"If the "Star of Chaikan" delivers the supplies safely, we will only increase the consumption of food by running there. If..." Kaji hesitated for a moment with a very ugly face, and continued: "If "Star of Chaikan" "They were attacked by the Karads, and all their supplies were destroyed, and Gledon's troops would be in trouble. They had to retreat immediately while the forage could last for a few days. The soldiers had no rations to kill horses. At this time, we ran Go to Gledon, I'll be blamed if the tiger doesn't kill me."

"Kill the horse?" Scarface said with a heartache, "It will take several days to go back to Aizenur City. There are more than 7000 people. How many horses will be eaten?"

Knocking his head vigorously, he said regretfully, "It's all my fault that my brain was hot for a while. I just wanted to take advantage of it and make a military exploit. I didn't expect to be fooled by the Karad people."

"Your Excellency, you don't need to be like this. Although we haven't received any news about the "Star of Chaikan", we can't conclude that they were attacked by the Karad people." Scarface hurriedly comforted him.

At this moment, a scout shot out of the night like an arrow.

Kajiba and Scarface looked nervously, feeling uneasy.

"My lord, all the Karad cavalry are in ambush in a small forest, and there is no sign of dispatching for the time being."

"Do you know how many people there are?" He asked eagerly.

"We dare not get too close, we don't know the exact number."

"Can you see the enemy's battle flag?"

"The red battle flag, with a big head embroidered in the middle of the flag, with disheveled hair, like a savage. When you get close, you can still hear the sound of the bell on the big flag."

Kajiba and Scarface changed drastically at the same time.

"Aren't you mistaken?" Scarface asked loudly.

The scout shook his head.

He glanced stabbingly at the scarred face: "Bing Ding, Savage, it's really this bad boy. What the hell flag! It's so ugly"

He immediately turned around and shouted to the orderly not far behind him: "Order all the ministries to go north immediately and advance quickly."

In the dark night, the Cusaite cavalry, led by their generals, left very quietly and sank into the boundless darkness without a sound.

Withdrew without hesitation.

On the eastern horizon, a round of red sun slowly rose.So Lixin led two hundred cavalrymen to meet Jiuling'er's large army.

"My lord, was the attack on the supply team successful?" Solixin asked impatiently.

"Successful. The Kusaites are going to be hungry." Jiu Ling'er stopped the horse and said with a loud laugh, "Did you scare away like a rattle?"

"Two hours ago, he headed north quickly, probably to return to Aizenur." Suo Lixin said triumphantly.

"Where did Xiaofa's troops go?"

"Captain Fatis' troops have all returned to the other side of the Wesis River. He himself has come ashore with dozens of riders. It is estimated that we are only a few kilometers away from us now."

"Order the troops to stop and rest." Jiu Ling'er turned her head and shouted loudly to the messenger.The sound of the huge bull horn immediately resounded through the open field.

Rocky Mountain.

Hu Meng's face was extremely ugly.There was chaos on the battlefield.The bodies of dead soldiers were scattered all over the road on both sides of the supply convoy and on the nearby hillside.The corpses of many soldiers were bloody and bloody trampled by war horses.Hundreds of carts were completely burned by the fire, turning into piles of charred charcoal.There are more than a dozen unburned carriages still emitting black smoke.The pungent bloody smell, the unpleasant smell of coke, and the choking smell of smoke mixed together and filled the entire battlefield.There was no sheep on the scene, let alone special fodder for war horses.

"Brother Humeng, shall we withdraw our troops immediately?" Tie Hutou asked in a low voice, standing behind Humeng.

Tiger sighed fiercely. "Now there is no news like a thorn, and the sheep are gone, and the fodder has been burned by the Karad people. What's worse is that we still don't know how many Karad troops are hiding around Gledon, how to withdraw ?”

"According to the reconnaissance estimates of our scouts, there should be around 4000 people in Karad, the city of Odessa, and with the reinforcements that appeared at the Heihao River before, their total strength is about 8000. Deducting the people who stayed behind in Odessa The troops in Sacheng, they have at least [-] troops at their disposal. In this case, if they use all the remaining troops to cross the upper reaches of the Black Pick River and the Weixis River respectively, and encircle us near Gledon, If we cut off our escape route, it will be very difficult for us to escape unscathed." Hu Meng saw that he was a little puzzled, and explained to him.

"We have run out of food today, and there are only three days of fodder left. If we don't withdraw today, the situation will get worse." The bald wolf stood beside him and said anxiously.

"On the plain, our Cusit iron cavalry is invincible. Even if the Caladers intercept us near Gledon, what can we do? We can still kill them." Iron Foxhead said confidently.

Hu Meng nodded, "What you said makes sense. If you are trapped to death in Gledon, you might as well give it a go and fight all the way back."

"What about the rations?" Tie Hutou asked.

"Kill the horse." Hu Meng categorically said.

Several people were silent for a while.Horses are a very precious property for the Kusaites, sometimes even more than the value of a few slaves.Killing horses to satisfy their hunger is difficult for them to accept, and they are not willing to do it.

Jiu Ling'er was lying in the grass, lazily basking in the sun.Accompanied by Red Beard and Atzo, Fatis, Zhi Ou Xun and De Ou Qiao walked over talking and laughing.Knowing that the Kusaites were about to withdraw their troops, everyone was very excited, elated as if meeting some happy event.

Jiu Ling'er sat up and asked them to sit down.

"You have won two games in a row, but we haven't won one. It's so unfair." Fatis said with a smile.

"You have lured the enemy twice in a row and effectively restrained the enemy's forces. You have made great contributions. Especially this time, without you crossing the mountain pass and pretending to cross the river with great fanfare, how could Kaciban be tricked into dividing troops to intercept? This time we were able to attack successfully. The stabbing supply troops destroyed the enemy's food and horse fodder, you should be the first to do it." Jiu Ling'er laughed loudly, and gave Ou Xun a thumbs up, while De Ou Qiao shook again and again in front of them.

"We did not win the first battle, but made the first contribution. Your lord praises us too much." De Ojo was very happy, but he was still a little embarrassed.

"This is the truth." Jiu Ling'er said, "Soldiers will be willing to fight the enemy bravely on the battlefield only if the merits and demerits are rewarded and punished clearly."

"My lord, what shall we do next?" Atezor asked.

"After everyone had a good rest, we set off to march towards the city of Odessa. The cavalry was on the east bank of the Wesis River, and Xiaofa and the two adults led the infantry to march with us on the west bank of the Wesis River. They all took care of each other. We avoid the roads, and be careful not to be discovered by the Qussets."

"My lord, didn't you say that you want to beat the Kusaites again? Why don't we stop fighting and go back to Odriza City?" Lie Zha, who had been standing behind him all this time, suddenly asked.

Jiu Ling'er smiled and nodded. "The situation has changed. Judging from all signs, the Kusaites may have run out of food. If they retreat in just one or two days, it will be difficult for us to find any chance to attack them. The Kusaites are strong, and there is no With full confidence, who dares to touch the tiger's butt?"

Everyone around laughed.

"Didn't your lord beat this tiger all over the place every time?" Red Beard said admiringly.

"It's all about playing tricks, stealthily and secretly plotting tricks. If you have the strength to fight their cavalry against cavalry on the plain, it will be fun enough." Jiu Ling'er waved her hand.

Jiu Ling'er said with great regret, "Compared with the Kusaites, our strength is too weak."

"My lord, are you sure that the Cusaites will retreat immediately?" Fatis asked.

"I think so. The scout team has been dispatched, and there will be news in the next two days."

"At first, we all thought that the enemy's food and horse grass would be sufficient for a period of time, and that they might have to launch another attack on the city of Oderusa after they arrived at Gledon with a large amount of supplies."

"Now it seems that our judgment was wrong. Seeing that he had been caught in a trap and had no advantage to take advantage of, he immediately ran away. But he didn't go to Gledon, but went directly back to the city of Aizenur. Kaji Why not join the main force at Gledden near Gledden?"

"I think the Kusaites have already decided to withdraw to the city of Aizenur. Continuing to occupy the city of Aizenur can also play a role in containing the forces of the city of Odessa. That's why Kazaba will not hesitate withdraw."

"The enemy dropped a lot of luggage at the Odessa siege camp, and this time we burned the supplies that were sent in like a thorn. Even if they reserved a part of the supplies at the Glidden camp, they probably wouldn't be able to support much. Time. So the evacuation of the Kusaites is just a matter of these few days."

"In other words, may we have completed the task?" Atezor said loudly, laughing easily.

"Maybe." Jiu Ling'er said, "We walked slowly along the river, monitoring the enemy's whereabouts along the way. Once we find a chance, we will hit them."

"What if the Kusaites don't withdraw?" Zhi Ou Xun asked suddenly.

Jiu Ling'er spread her hands and said, "Then we have no choice but to stay in the area around Gledon and attack the enemy's supply troops until they withdraw."

In the evening, Solixin's scout team finally sent back news that Gledon's enemies began to evacuate.

"Do you know where they are?" Jiu Ling'er asked happily.

"The enemy's marching speed is very fast. It is estimated that they have already crossed the rocky mountain. They may camp in Gledon tonight. The specific news will come after dark."

Hu Meng led a large force to Gledon and stopped after dark.Junhao and Bongshi, who arrived earlier, rushed over on flying horses, looking very nervous.Hu Meng saw it from a distance, his heart tightened, and he felt his scalp go numb.Will something happen again?
"Master Bo Luji led his troops to the north overnight." Jun Hao shouted angrily when he saw the fierce tiger.Humeng didn't make a sound for a long time.

The tribal armies of Boluji and Boluqin lost troops and generals under the city of Odessa, and the strength of the tribe plummeted.Mulek had long wanted to annex the two departments and reunify the Bolu family. How could he let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?Bo Luji and Bo Luqin knew that they had been fooled by Mu Leke.If the two of them hadn't been blinded by profit and took the initiative to lead troops into battle, how could there be such unexpected disasters.After all, it's no wonder Mulek, but they can only blame themselves for being too greedy.Although the fate of the two tribes is self-evident, everyone has to struggle before dying to see if there is still a chance to come back to life.So it is completely understandable that they are anxious to rush back to Kusait.

"Let them go." Hu Meng said calmly.

"But we just received the news that was sent like a stab..." Brownstone said nervously, "They were intercepted by the Karade army near the mountain pass."

Humeng's expression changed drastically, he immediately interrupted Brownstone, and asked eagerly, "Where's Kaciba?"

"He has crossed Green Water Bay with his troops and is retreating to Aizenur City."

Hu Meng let out a long breath, and said with lingering fear: "This kid runs fast, not bad. Oh, you continue." He looked at the brown stone and motioned him to continue.

"The people sent like Kazak told us that Karad set a trap at the pass, and they were almost surrounded by the enemy. According to their estimates, the number of Karad should be 6000 to [-], otherwise they would not dare to They lure into the encirclement and tried to encircle them. According to their scouts' reconnaissance, the main force of the Karad cavalry that suddenly appeared behind them in the middle of the night was Jiuling'er's troops."

Hu Meng and Tie Hutou and the others following behind had serious expressions on their faces, vaguely feeling the danger coming from all directions.

"If this is the case, it will be very dangerous for Bo Luji to lead more than 1000 people away from the main force and rush to Green Water Bay overnight. Since the Karad army did not encircle Kaza, it is very likely that they will directly penetrate Cut off our retreat in the direction of Green Water Bay. If Bo Luji's troops encounter the main force of Karad in Green Water Bay, it may be a disaster." Brownstone analyzed.

"The soldiers of the 'Star of Chaikan' said that the Kalaad cavalry who attacked them last night also carried the flag of the Nine Bells, a large red flag with a pattern of savages with disheveled hair, and a few bells hung on it. Just blow it!"

"The distance between Luanshishan and Shankoudu is about [-] kilometers, and it's dark. How could he appear in two places at the same time?" Tie Hutou said loudly.

"The reinforcements from the Karad people have increased, or Jiuling'er is cheating?" Bald Wolf said softly.He now felt that the disheveled wildling boy was becoming more and more elusive.When he fought side by side together last year, he was still a soldier who didn't understand anything.But with the passage of time, this kid has become a thorn in the body of the Kusaites, which cannot be seen or pulled out.

"If there were two or three thousand troops attacking on Luanshi Mountain, then there are at least seven or eight thousand Karad troops blocking our way now. Why did so many troops suddenly appear in the city of Odessa in just a few days?" Tie Hutou Frowning, he said suspiciously.

Jun Hao nodded in agreement, "Your Excellency makes sense. Maybe it's just the Karad people who are playing tricks and deliberately bluffing."

"Now our scouts' range of activities is limited to within 4000 kilometers. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get accurate information in a short time. These two groups of people have already shown up. Even if there are not so many people, there should be [-] to [-] people after the discount. "Brownstone immediately refuted Junhao's statement.

"I once said in Rocky Mountain today that if Faron and Tiankai try their best to fight us in a decisive battle, it is still possible to send an army of 5000 people to advance to the vicinity of Gledon. Now the city of Ezenur is still In our hands, if the Karad people want to regain it, they must completely defeat us. Therefore, I think that whether it is Jiulinger's troops or the troops preparing to encircle and annihilate them, they may attack at any time Appeared in front of us. It may be a night attack, or it may ambush us near Lushui Bay. Everyone should be careful and be ready to fight at any time." Hu Meng waved his hand, signaling everyone to return to the headquarters and set up camp to rest.

"My lord, shall we immediately send someone to tell Lord Boluji about the situation, and ask him to bring the troops back." Brownstone hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice.

Hu Meng shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, he is the commander-in-chief of the first army, and he didn't care about everyone's safety, and ran away with his trusted troops alone. It's outrageous. Let him fend for himself."

Suo Lixin ran back panting, the man and the horse were dripping with sweat like they were fished out of the water.He gave Jiu Ling'er a huge surprise.

"Bo Luji and Bo Luqin led more than 1000 people away from the main force of Gledeng's army, and rushed to the direction of Lushui Bay overnight."

"Where is the fierce tiger?" Jiu Ling'er asked.

"One hour after Bo Luji left Gledden, Humeng rushed to Gledden with his troops and set up a camp. Bo Luji went ahead alone and was weak. We could run [-] kilometers overnight. Rush to Gledon to attack them. Cute, this is a good opportunity, don't miss it." Suo Lixin said excitedly.

Jiu Ling'er nodded with a smile. "Order the scouts to monitor the movement of the main force of Gledon's enemy forces."

"Tell Zhi Ou Xun, De Ou Qiao, tell them to lead their troops back to Shankoudu immediately and pick us up to cross the river at any time."

"Order all the ministries to assemble immediately and prepare to go."

The rapid and loud sound of the horn immediately tore through the tranquility of the night, and it sounded continuously by the Wesis River.

After Jiu Ling'er ambushed the Kusaites' grain convoy on the Rocky Mountain, they seized more than 600 war horses.With the consent of Zhi Ou Xun and De Ouqiao, nearly 2000 soldiers were transferred from the infantry to join the cavalry temporarily, and the cavalry was expanded to [-] again.

People in the eastern part of the empire can basically ride horses. Although these people lack cavalry training and don't understand the essentials of cavalry combat, they are more than enough to charge and kill with large troops.The soldiers were also very happy. The cavalry paid much more than the infantry, and it was the dream of many infantry soldiers to be able to join the regular cavalry.Fatis then returned to the team.

The crescent moon is still in the sky, but it is extraordinarily bright tonight, and the cool and soft moonlight gently falls on the vast plain.The stars all over the sky blinked excitedly, curiously spying on the gray earth below.

Jiu Ling'er and his cavalry were bathed in the hazy moonlight, galloping like lightning.

Bo Luji was preoccupied and depressed.Sitting weakly on his horse, he followed the army and ran towards Green Water Bay without haste.As long as you pass the narrow area of ​​Lushuiwan, you will be on the great plain of Yimapingchuan.From there, you can go directly to the city of Aizenur, or you can go directly to the city of Akkarak and return to the Kusat Khanate.Bo Luji was very anxious, he wanted to return to his tribe as soon as possible.He and the Caladians have fought back and forth for decades, winning and losing each other, but they have never suffered such a disastrous defeat.Not only did they lose this time, but it was very likely that they would lose the entire tribe. The price was more than their own lives.

Last year, Tu Luge, who surrounded and wiped out Achite's troops in the Broken Star Plain, lost more than half of his and Bo Lu's troops.This time, I originally wanted to go to Karad to plunder to make up for the huge loss of the tribe last year.Unexpectedly, just as the victory was about to be won, the Calad cavalry who came out of the darkness mercilessly snatched it away, and everything was wiped out.Originally failed, even such a disastrous defeat was still bearable for me and Boluqin.If the two tribes unite and struggle for a few years, most of their vitality will be restored.But now it's different.The ambitious Mulek has been eyeing them, planning for a long time.

Mulek, like them, has a dream, that is to reunify the Bolu family in his lifetime and rebuild the huge power of the Bolu family in the past.The three of them each have their own thoughts, and no one is convinced by the other, and they all want to be the boss.Now that Mulek has been firmly seated in the big Burke of the central Kusaite, his strength has expanded rapidly, and the Red Stone Plain tribe of the Bolu headquarters has quickly become the largest tribe in the central Kusaite.Originally, the two tribes of the Bolu and the East had already been at a disadvantage, and many leaders, big and small, of the tribe had established friendship with Mule Kela overtly and secretly.Now that they have suffered such a big defeat, once the news is sent back to the tribe, there will inevitably be a violent storm within the tribe.The leaders of the small tribes who have joined Mulek will take the opportunity to leave them and join the Redstone tribe instead.And the chain reaction triggered by this will lead to the immediate disintegration of Bolu's left and right departments.Under such circumstances, as long as Mulek stands up and shouts, everyone will join the Redstone Tribe for the rich wealth and safety guarantees, and the Bolu family will immediately complete the great cause of unification by the Redstone Tribe.

They would never allow this to happen, so they rushed back to the tribe before the news of the defeat reached Kuset, and suppressed those who dared to betray themselves with limited troops.As long as there is no chaos within the tribe, it will be difficult for Mulek to find an excuse to attack.As long as Mulek does not blatantly encourage and condone the rebellion of his subordinates, the two tribes can continue to exist independently.

Bolu invaded his horse to catch up and said loudly: "Order the troops to speed up and cross the Green Water Bay as soon as possible."

"The soldiers started to retreat at noon, and they have not rested for more than ten hours. They are very tired. Now they are suddenly ordered to run at high speed. I'm afraid everyone's physical strength will be unsustainable?" Boluji said worriedly.

Boluqian said worriedly: "Since the Kaza-like troops arrived at Shankoudu last night, there has been no news. There are only two situations that may cause the Kaja-like scouts to fail to send news. One is his troops He has been surrounded by the Karads and cannot send any news. The second is that his troops were defeated by the Karads and fled, and no one sent us any news. Regardless of the situation, it means that the main force of Karads has crossed the Wesis River. If Kazaban has been defeated, it is very likely that Karad will free up his hands and rush to Green Water Bay to cut off our retreat."

Bo Luji hesitated for a moment: "Kajabang is very powerful, and it may take a lot of effort for the Karad people to eat him. Maybe they are still fighting each other near Shankoudu."

Bo Luqin snorted, and said dissatisfiedly: "Estimating the possibility is useless, it is just a possibility, meaningless. The most realistic thing is that the enemy has already appeared in front of us. If they want to stop us, the area around Lushuiwan is The best battlefield. And if we want to get out of danger, the only way is to get out of here as quickly as possible."

"What if the enemy has arrived at Green Water Bay?" Bo Luji asked suddenly after being silent for a while.

Bo Luqin's complexion changed, and he said resolutely: "I would rather die in battle than kneel in front of Mulek to show my allegiance to him. Are you willing?"

Bo Luji's expression darkened, he shook his head, and said in a low voice, "That's an unacceptable shame. You're right, let's gamble our lives. I don't believe that Mulek can eat us alive. "

"Send the order, if you want to go back alive, you must speed up." Bo Luji shouted at the orderer loudly.

Jiu Ling'er looked up at the string moon hanging high in the sky, feeling very anxious.He couldn't know the current location of Bo Luji's troops, his eyes were darkened.

He turned back and shouted to Suo Lixin who was closely behind him: "Green Water Bay is ahead. Why is there still no news from your subordinates?"

Suo Li was flustered in confidence, worried that something might happen to his subordinates.He didn't answer Jiu Ling'er, but looked around nervously.

"Here we come." Suo Lixin suddenly shouted happily.

The three cavalry quickly shot out from the distant woods, galloping obliquely towards Karad's cavalry team.

"My lord, Bo Luji's troops are approaching Green Water Bay, about five kilometers away from us."

Jiu Ling'er let out a long breath, and her nervousness disappeared immediately.

"Can you spot their scouts?"

"Two batches came, let us kill them."

Talos, Feather Oath and Redbeard rushed over on horseback.

"My lord, where is the battlefield?" The red beard shouted from a distance.

"You are familiar with this place, tell me?" Jiu Ling'er said with a smile.

"The terrain of Lushui Bay is complex, with small mountains and forests, which is suitable for ambush. However, there is no open area for more than ten kilometers from here, and it is difficult for cavalry to deploy." Red Beard said loudly, "We are horse thieves. At that time, I used to rob merchants here many times, and it was a good place to ambush."

Tiza immediately shouted behind him: "So you were responsible for the Lushuiwan case? How dare you speak out?"

"I've only done it a few times." The red beard immediately became anxious, and shouted with wide eyes: "And I haven't killed anyone yet."

"Who can prove it?"

"Okay, okay. Alan has abandoned evil and pursued good, so we should let the past go." Jiu Ling'er hurried forward to smooth things over.Everyone around laughed.

"What do you think?" Jiu Ling'er looked at Talos, Yu Oath, and Solasin and asked.

"If the terrain of Green Water Bay is narrow and the cavalry is useless, the ambush will likely turn into an encounter, and our losses will be great." Talos said.

"Ten years ago, Lord Tiyan fought a battle with the Kusaites near Green Water Bay." Tiza suddenly said, "At that time, because the cavalry of the Kusaites could not function, their losses were very heavy. .We can follow what Master Tiyan did back then, abandoning horses and fighting on foot."

"No, if we fight against the enemy on foot, our losses will be even greater." Yu Oath said.

Jiu Ling'er turned to look at the red beard, and asked with a smile: "Is there any place that is suitable for our cavalry to charge and restrain the enemy's cavalry?"

Redbeard nodded.

Bo Luji looked at the dark forest in front of him, hesitating in his heart.According to the news sent back by the scouts, the journey to Gelushuiwan was very safe, and no trace of the enemy was found.But Bo Luji always felt uneasy.For some reason, the two scouts who were first sent out to scout Green Water Bay didn't come back?They are all veterans of the tribe, and it is impossible for them to escape without reason.If they were killed, why were the scouts who set off behind them all right?
Bo Luqin let out a little breath, and whispered to Bo Luji: "We will be out of danger after another six or seven kilometers. As long as we return to the tribe, no matter how arrogant Mu Leke is, we will deal with him way."

Bo Luji forced a smile and nodded, "Let's go, when we arrive at Ezenur City, everything still has a chance."

The troops lined up in a long snake formation, and quickly and quietly entered the winding area of ​​Green Water Bay. The team of more than 1000 people is sparsely connected together and is more than several hundred meters long.

Boluji strictly ordered the soldiers not to light the lights, and everyone walked cautiously on the winding and rugged path under the hazy moonlight.The soldiers unsheathed their knives and wound their arrows. Each of them looked nervous and kept looking around, maintaining a high degree of vigilance at all times to prevent surprise attacks by the enemy.

Troops walk very slowly.Bo Luqin was very dissatisfied, with an impatient look on his face.He drove his horse to Bo Luji's side, and said loudly, "If we go on like this, we won't be able to arrive tomorrow morning. There is no need to be so nervous."

Bo Luji looked around uneasily, and said softly: "Be careful. This place has complicated terrain and dense forests. Once you fall, the entire army will be wiped out, and there will be no place to die."

He no longer paid attention to Bo Luqin, and said loudly to the messengers around him: "Go on and make the formation longer. Tell the soldiers to cheer up and strengthen their vigilance. Tell everyone, we will go out as soon as we leave Gledon." Camp."

It took about two hours to walk a few kilometers.The soldiers were under high tension along the way, and they were already very tired physically and mentally.At this moment, they vaguely saw a small stone pavilion built on a small hill at the border of Lushui Bay under the moonlight.I don't know who gave out a cheer first, and then the excited shout suddenly broke the tranquility of the night.The birds hiding everywhere were suddenly awakened, flying around in fright.

The soldiers walking in the front immediately quickened their pace, they rode their horses and hurried across the small stone pavilion.The endless great plain, under the soft and hazy moonlight, looks extraordinarily deep and vast.The soldiers' hearts were suddenly relieved. The long and dangerous journey had been endured with difficulty, and there was no fear in front of them, as if they were at home.They shouted wildly, laughed loudly, galloped their horses, and vented their ecstasy without any worries.The soldiers who were still walking slowly behind could no longer control the joy that they were out of danger. They shouted happily and galloped on their horses.

Bo Luji looked happy, smiled at Bo Lugu and said, "We can go home now."

Bo Luqin laughed loudly, "Kalad's army was finally left behind by us. I hope they can stop the tiger tomorrow and beat them hard to kill Mulek's arrogance."

The two were in a good mood, chatting easily while following the troops to speed up and quickly crossed the hill.Many of the soldiers had dismounted, and were waiting for the horn of the bivouac to sound, and they could lie down and rest at once.

Under the expectant eyes of the soldiers, Bo Luji made a camp gesture to the horn soldiers who followed closely behind him.The horn sounded immediately, and the low and long sound echoed in the hazy night for a long time.In less than an hour, thousands of soldiers fell asleep on the edge of the open plain.Dozens of soldiers responsible for security are distributed around the camp.They rode, much more drowsy than awake.

A war horse suddenly raised its head vigilantly, and stared into the depths of the plain with wide eyes.Immediately, more war horses who were crowded together to rest seemed to be frightened by something, and they all neighed in panic.However, the soldiers, who were extremely relaxed physically and mentally, slept too soundly.They were lying on the ground wrapped in all kinds of warm clothes, completely unaware of the abnormal behavior of their horses.

Suddenly, in the bleak and cold night wind, there was a faint roar. The sound was not loud, but it became more and more clear.The sentry soldiers immediately became vigilant, and a few daring ones immediately drove their horses into the depths of the darkness to investigate.The roar became louder and thicker.There was already a noticeable vibration on the ground.Suddenly, a torrent surged out of the darkness, roaring out like a stormy sea.

The guard's eyes widened, and he was at a loss for a moment, completely forgetting his duty.Is this one of your own or the enemy?Could there still be enemies on the great plains controlled by Cusait's army?A soldier subconsciously raised the horn that was tightly clutched in his hand, and blew the horn for alarm.

Bo Luqin is older and generally sleeps less.He was reclining on his luggage, with his arms folded, and he felt in a daze that there seemed to be some movement on the war horse beside him.He woke up suddenly, and jumped up very nimbly.

Boluqin saw his war horses were restless, and their big eyes were looking at the depths of the plain in horror, as if they saw something that frightened them.Then the rapid and low sound of the small horn, and the roar from far to near, reached his ears in an instant.Bo Lugu's drowsiness disappeared immediately, and his complexion changed drastically.He turned his head to look at the plain, and fear and despair surged into his heart for a moment, forcing him to roar almost nervously: "Sneak attack, the enemy sneak attack..."

The terrified and shrill cry instantly tore through the tranquility of the night, monotonous and terrifying.

Bo Luji woke up suddenly, jumped up almost like a conditioned reflex, and took advantage of the situation with his right hand to pull out the saber in the scabbard around his waist.He opened his eyes wide and roared in a dizzy manner: "Blow the horn, blow the horn, meet the enemy..."

Suddenly he saw Boluqin.Bo Luqin was kicking the horn soldiers who were sleeping nearby one by one.The horn soldiers stood up one after another, and when they heard Bo Luji's shout, they stuffed the horn into their mouths almost instinctively, and blew the assembled horn with all their strength.

The sound of the huge horn was like a stone thrown into the calm water, causing ripples in circles.The soldiers in the camp were woken up at the same time, got up sleepily one by one, and couldn't find the southeast, north, south, and north in a daze.

Then Bo Luji saw the iron cavalry descending suddenly from the darkness, the overwhelming cavalry.

Bo Luji was stunned.Unexpectedly, the cunning Karads lay in ambush deep in the plain, and when they were most paralyzed, they threw a fatal blow.He was suddenly angry.If you don't give me a way out, we'll fight to the death.He yelled wildly in an almost desperate voice: "Kill..., kill at will, life for life."

Callad's troops came too suddenly, too close to the troops, and there was no time to organize the formation and organize the defense.If you want to survive, you have to fight on your own.

The Calad warriors didn't say a word, they all crouched on their horses, and rushed towards the panicked and chaotic enemy camp at the limit speed of their horses.

Jiu Ling'er had a murderous look on her face, she was menacing, she held guns in both hands, and raised her head and roared, "Kill..."

"Kill..., kill them..." The red beard galloped wildly, wielding a knife with one hand, and roared back.

"Brothers, for Karad, kill..." Yu swore straightened his body, waved his halberd, and roared loudly.

"Kill Kuman, avenge your dead brother..." Uncle Tiza took the lead, brandishing his long sword and roaring hoarsely.

The Calad warriors looked excited, and all of them were full of excitement, shouting wildly, and the sound of shouting and killing was earth-shattering, and the sound shook the sky.

The Cusaite soldiers were stupefied by the surging iron cavalry. They were panic-stricken, terrified, and terrified. They ran back and forth on the campsite in a panic, yelling.Under the command of the bullhorn, the leaders of the various ministries forced themselves to be calm, waved the battle flags non-stop, and shouted loudly to summon their subordinates.Soldiers either flew on their horses and gathered together in groups of three or four, or each took a weapon and moved closer to each other, forming a barrel-shaped defensive formation tightly around each other.

Fast, too fast.In the blink of an eye, the rectangular impact formation formed by 2000 people was like a hammer thrown hard, making a deafening roar, roaring and pounding heavily into the Kusaites camp, making a loud thunderous noise.Jiu Ling'er's mount soared high into the air, stretched her limbs, and jumped into the densely packed enemy soldiers.Jiu Ling'er brandished her big gun, sweeping and stabbing, and the two soldiers who ran back to avoid being hit by the horses were killed immediately.

Like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves, the Karad iron cavalry rolled up the bloody and miserable howls all over the sky, wantonly ravaging and plundering the innocent lives under the iron hooves.

The Kussets were running, screaming, flying through the air, and groaning under their iron hooves.Kharad soldiers were slashing, roaring, slaughtering at will, roaring on their horses.The battlefield suddenly fell into fierce fighting.

Talos' war horse was cut off by several Cuset soldiers, and the huge body of the war horse fell to the ground, and he flew out with inertia.When the soldiers who followed saw the regiment leader falling off his horse, they rushed forward screaming and hacking, trying to protect his safety.Regardless of life and death, several Kusaite soldiers swung their knives and chopped at Talos who fell to the ground.Although Talos blocked several times in a row, he was outnumbered and was shot in the chest by a Cusaite soldier at close range, and he died instantly.The four soldiers who were going to save him had bloodshot eyes, they lost their minds and slashed wildly, and then died one after another when they were besieged by the Kusaites.More than a dozen Karad cavalrymen rushed forward and immediately killed the group of enemies.

Urhood swung his halberd and killed the last enemy standing in front of his horse, then flew off the horse, picked up Talos in his arms, and cried out.

Bo Luji took a dozen guards and fought and left, preparing to climb over the hill and escape into the forest.But they were closely watched by the scouts who rushed all the way into the enemy's line.Suo Lixin rushed to the front, his sword never leaving the enemy's vital points.The soldiers followed Suo Lixin in a line of geese, and the soldiers who couldn't squeeze forward kept shooting cold arrows at the enemy.

"Block them, stop them..." Seeing Pi Lan leading a group of cavalry towards him diagonally, Suo Lixin yelled loudly.

Pilan shouted loudly when he heard the sound, and immediately led the cavalry and Solisin's scout team to surround Bo Luji and his guards.

"Kill..." Suo Lixin roared, and three or forty people raised their swords and guns, cut in from different angles, and killed them bravely.Fart Lan's spear suddenly stabbed Bo Luji.

Bolu's performance was crazy, and there was a sound of wind and thunder between the swings of the sword, and the momentum was like a rainbow.Fart Lan's spear suddenly shot out from the crowd, like an arrow piercing a stone, and pierced Bo Luji's waist at an unimaginable speed.Bo Luji was engrossed and was trying his best to defuse the three swords that were coming at him, but he was completely unprepared for a plain iron gun that came quietly.Bo Luji blocked a knife, dodged a knife, and then chopped off his head with a knife, knocking down a Karad warrior from his horse like lightning.At this moment, the spear pierced Bo Luji's waist.Bo Luji's excited roar immediately turned into a beast-like howl.Taking advantage of his distraction, the two Karad warriors surrounding him stabbed Bo Luji's chest with both knives at the same time, and blood spurted out.

Bo Luji's cry stopped abruptly, he opened a pair of unbelievable eyes, fixedly staring at the long knife on his chest, and died out of breath.

Before the two Karad warriors could make any further moves, Bo Luji's guards had already rushed towards him frantically.The saber flew and the roar was like thunder. The two people were immediately divided into corpses by the chaotic knife. Even the horse that sat down was implicated and died unexpectedly.Immediately, Suo Lixin and Pilan led more people towards Bo Luji's guards, and killed them all.

The big iron halberd of the oath pierced fiercely into the enemy's back, and before he could draw out his weapon, a cold arrow suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.With a roar, Yu swore dropped the halberd, kicked his legs hard towards the horse's belly, leaned over and rolled down from the horse's buttocks.A few enemy soldiers surrounding him rushed over like wolves and tigers, their sabers aimed at the oath that was still rolling on the ground from all directions and chopped off their heads and faces.A Caladian cavalry following behind had no time to react, and the horse leaped past with its feathered oath.

Atzuo saw that the oath was in danger, and he was very anxious. He was eager to save people, and immediately started to skillfully ride, and forced his horse to leap across while galloping at high speed, and directly rammed into the surrounding enemies.Yu Oath was in a panic, and his helmet fell off.He scrambled to his feet and pulled out his saber.Atzo's war horse violently bumped into the two of them, and then the tall body of the war horse lost its balance and fell to the ground while flying obliquely.On horseback, Atezor jumped up swiftly and escaped the fate of being overwhelmed by the horse, but then he fell into the siege of the enemy.Yu Oath and other soldiers were killed almost at the same time.

Boluqin led the soldiers to fight to the death. After withstood the first round of sharp attacks from the Karad iron cavalry, almost all the soldiers around him were killed.Those who did not die were also scarred, making it difficult to fight again.There is no way for flesh and blood to resist the Karad iron cavalry rushing towards them like a flood.

"Withdraw...Quickly withdraw..." Bo Luqin yelled loudly as he took the lead in running deep into the plain.Behind him, a dozen or so Kusaite soldiers who had escaped from the charge rode crookedly on their horses, trying their best to keep up with them.

Redbeard and his subordinates hurriedly turned their horses' heads and roared like a wild buffalo, chasing after them.A group of men and horses suddenly rushed out of the oblique stab, and quickly shot at Bo Luguo's deserters, blocking them firmly.In a panic, Bolu invaded and did not choose a path. In desperation, he stabbed the horse's rear with a knife, trying to rely on the pain-crazed horse to forcibly rush out of Karad to intercept him.A Caladian cavalry galloping at high speed was the first to bear the brunt of being hit by a man and a horse. The man flew into the air and was thrown like a stone, and the horse fell to the ground with a bang.Boluqin's war horse was also beaten to the point of bleeding and screaming in pain, but this made it even more mad.Its huge body stagnated for a while, and then jumped up again.

Xu Murener roared angrily, he almost lost his mind and rolled off the galloping horse, and threw the big ax in his hand shaking his hands at Bo Lujin's mount.The shining ax spun rapidly in mid-air, drawing a strange arc. The breathtaking howling was drowned in the huge and noisy killing on the battlefield, and no one noticed its existence.Like a bloodthirsty ghost, it suddenly showed a ferocious face, ruthlessly caressed the right hind leg of the war horse, and cut off a strong horse leg in an instant.

Boluqin's war horse immediately lost its balance, and its leaping body slammed to the ground with a scream of pain.Bo Luga firmly grasped the reins and hugged the horse's neck. Although he didn't fly away from the horse, he was pressed tightly under the horse's belly, unable to move at all.The red beard flew towards him, and the blood-stained sword slashed head-on.

There was no way for Bolu to hide, and he watched the big knife rushing towards him.Before he could even utter a cry, a head left his neck and flew into the air with a pool of blood.

Jiu Ling'er led hundreds of cavalry warriors, taking turns to attack the barrel formation formed by the enemy.The two sides gathered in a small space, fighting desperately, blood and blood flying everywhere.

After the Kusaites suffered the initial violent attack of the Karad iron cavalry, they suffered heavy losses. The soldiers were heartbroken and demoralized. They were unwilling to fight and only wanted to escape from the bloody battlefield as soon as possible.As the generals died one after another, the Cusaite army without the command of the general was like a mess of sand. After a short period of hopeless resistance, the soldiers were immediately surrounded by the fierce Karad.

Karad soldiers took advantage of their absolute superiority in numbers to divide and suppress the Kusaites.On the battlefield, the sound of fighting gradually faded away.

Jiuling'er knelt on the ground, looking at Talos's bloodless face, her heart ached so badly that he couldn't hold back his tears.He burst into tears suddenly.He didn't know why he was fighting this battle, and what was the purpose of fighting this battle?The Kusaites have already started to evacuate, and they have completed their mission, so why are they still fighting this battle?Without this battle, how could Talos, who lived together like brothers every day, and many familiar soldiers, die here, in this dark night.He couldn't help hating himself.If not for themselves, these people might not have died here.

The night gradually opened, and the dawn came quietly.The remains of our own soldiers on the battlefield have been buried, and part of the easily portable spoils seized are bundled on the horses of the Kusaites.With the sound of retreating horns, the troops hurried on the road and rushed to Shankoudu.

In the ambush near Gledon, Callad lost nearly 400 men, and Talos, the captain of the regiment, was killed.The entire Kusaite army was wiped out, and 400 people died in battle. Only a small number of soldiers fled into the nearby mountains and forests, and Boluji and Boluqin were all killed.Jiuling'er's troops stationed at the south bank of Shankoudu, and the troops rested.

On the third day, Xio Yifu rushed to Jiuling'er's army with Faron's orders,

The opening is: "The Inspector ordered you to rush to Syratos in the northeast of the empire immediately."

Jiu Ling'er and his subordinates were speechless for a while, and the big tent fell into silence.

"Our army has fought repeatedly, and the loss of troops is very high. The soldiers are also exhausted and need to rest. Isn't it too hasty to go to Syratos at this time?" Fatis saw Jiu Ling'er looking at the map on the table. He didn't speak for a long time, knowing that he was very embarrassed, so he hurriedly said to Xiao Yifu.

"My lord, thousands of people were killed and wounded in the two battles near Luanshi Mountain and Green Water Bay, and the strength of the troops was greatly damaged. Is it a bit difficult for us to rush to Sylatos now?" Captain Wu Erbao said dissatisfied.

"Here we are fighting with the Cusets, bleeding to death. You eat and drink in the city of Odriza. Now the situation in Syratos is tense. If you don't go, let us go. What kind of nonsense is this?" Ah Tezo said angrily.

"Is it because our adults are young and poorly educated, and have low qualifications, deliberately bullying us?" The red beard looked at Siou Yifu coldly, and said in a provocative tone.

"Where did Alan start talking about this? Now that Kusaite is invading and the situation in the East is critical, everyone is doing their best for the safety of Karad. How can you disregard the interests of the country for your own self-interest at this time. Your Excellency Misunderstood the meaning of the Inspector." Siou Yifu quickly explained.

"Did you see that we were all horse thieves in the past, and deliberately found an excuse to kill us?" Xu Muren'er suddenly shouted.

Xio Yifu shook his head helplessly, smiled wryly and said: "You are all soldiers of Calad, and you all shed blood and sacrificed to defend your home and country. Who cares about your background at this time? What is most lacking now is soldiers. The Inspector highly admires and appreciates you for being able to take the initiative to join the army to fight against the invasion when Calad was in crisis. Don’t misunderstand. Everyone, look at the current city of Odriza, and those who can go to support the city of Syratos, Besides you, who else is there? In the city of Odessa, the army that supervised Lord Tiankai and the reinforcements brought by Lord Inspector Faron, there are only more than 1000 people left, and there are hundreds of people from Huo Shayun. So many people are not enough to defend the city of Delisa, let alone support others."

"But with our troops combined, there are less than 2000 people left who can continue to fight, and the troops' supplies have all been used up. Many of the captured war horses are now living on weeds. That's it, how do we go?" Fighting? Before we reach Sylatos, it is estimated that the troops will disperse." Uncle Tiza said slowly.

"Before leaving, Lord Inspector has already said that the infantry that joined you earlier was at the disposal of Lord Jiuling'er. You have captured thousands of horses, and you can immediately turn infantry into cavalry, and your strength should increase. As for the supplies , I will immediately return to the city of Odriza to raise money for you."

"Cute, what do you say?" Xio Yifu asked.

Jiu Ling'er looked away from the map, and said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard, and the troops are indeed attrition. Like them, I firmly disapprove of going to Syratos."

Xiao Yifu's face darkened, and the subordinates who disagreed with Red Beard and Xu Murener immediately became happy. Although Yu Oath and Suo Lixin felt that it was bad to disobey the order, they couldn't think of a better way.People and horses have nothing to eat, so what kind of war can they fight?

Jiu Ling'er looked at the red beards and the others, and continued: "For what are you all willing to sacrifice everything, including your own life, to come here? Lord Dericas, Lord Talos, what are many of our brothers and friends doing for? To die? Is it for money, for revenge, or because I am a Karadian, and I don’t want my country and people to be humiliated and ravaged by foreigners?"

Everyone looked at Jiu Ling'er without saying a word.

"If you are here for the last reason, then you should give up all self-interest, any complaints, and all dissatisfaction. Because tomorrow we may die on the battlefield. We will leave this world peacefully like all dead comrades. Before I died, I knew that I died for Karad, and I died well, so I had no complaints or regrets. So when you are alive, what are you fighting for?"

"We live because of death, so we are fearless." Jiu Ling'er said lightly, her heart was at peace.

His subordinates sat blankly, all silent, chewing on Jiu Ling'er's words in their hearts.

"Let's go to Syratos."

Xio Yifu raised his head in surprise and asked in bewilderment, "Why?"

Jiu Ling'er looked sad, and smiled bitterly, "Do you know why Talos died in Green Water Bay?"

Everyone opened their eyes wide, looking at Jiu Ling'er suspiciously, waiting for him to continue.
