Riding and Blade: Laughing Wind and Cloud Road

Chapter 55

In the woods, Huo Shayun was sitting around with several regiment captains, chatting and laughing.

Atezuo took a sip of boiling water and said sadly: "At this time, it would be great if I could have a sip of wine."

Thumb immediately agreed, and shouted loudly: "My lord, we are about to enter the city of Tannum. Once we enter the city, can you make an exception and give us some wine?"

Huo Shayun licked his lips, and said in a low voice: "Keep your voice down. This kind of thing has to be done secretly, and you can't publicize it."

Seeing his mysterious appearance, several people laughed out loud.

"Don't you lie to us?" Atezor said, "Also, if old man Tizar finds out, you will have to bear the responsibility alone."

"Yes. Old man Tiza knows that if you don't die, you have to peel off your skin. That groom has a lot of tricks. You can only say that you drank it alone, but you can't take us with you." The red beard hurriedly said to Huo Huo seriously. Sha Yun said.

Huo Chayun was out of breath, picked up a piece of burning wood and threw it at it. "Stop drinking. Why am I hanging out with you bandits."

Thumb jumped up immediately: "Red butt, why are you talking like farting, you..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Huo Chayun roared, turned over and jumped up, took a fire stick and rushed up, yelling wildly: "Who dares to call me by my nickname again..."

Thumb screamed strangely, and fled wildly with his head in his arms.The rest of the people immediately fell down laughing.

"Hey! Little bird..." Huo Shayun yelled provocatively, pointing at Atzo's little finger.

Atezor laughed so hard that he burst into tears, no matter what his name was.

At this time, everyone saw Thumbs running back in a hurry, shouting as he ran: "It's bad, it's bad, it's bad..."

============
Jiuling'er led Yi'an's bodyguards and Nayantai's bodyguards, avoiding the main road and moving in the direction of Razih.The scouts of the Aserai army near the official road increased significantly. Jiuling'er led the troops and hid in the hills southwest of Tanum City until the scouts found Sukelu's ration transport of about 5000 people. The troops, Jiuling'er, immediately ran for hundreds of miles overnight. They successfully attacked the [-] troops of Sukelu near the city of Doka, and then marched again in a hurry, taking the city of Kuqa by surprise.

However, the people Jiu Linger wanted to catch, Su Kelu and Adram, he didn't catch any of them.After he attacked the grain transport team, he interrogated the prisoners and knew that Su Kelu was still in Kuqa City.As a result, when they arrived in Kuqa City, Su Kelu was still not caught.After careful interrogation, I found out that Su Kelu took people to the Camel Ancient Road to pick up Adram.Jiu Ling'er was overjoyed and immediately led people to search along the road.Capture these two, and the Aserai army will be finished immediately.

"My lord, there are so many horseshoe marks here, it seems that many people were active here not long ago?" Nayantai suddenly pointed to a section of ground behind him.

Jiu Ling'er also noticed it, but he wasn't sure. He was far less familiar with things like horseshoes than the Kusaites.

"Stop..." Jiu Ling'er yelled wildly, and galloped back.They scoured the vicinity and soon found remains that had apparently been briefly buried.

"My lord, the area to the southeast is the Lion Mountain. The Lion Mountain is a branch of Mount Talma. It is estimated that the enemies who escaped from the city of Kuqa found Adram and Sukru. They got the news that the city of Kuqa was captured We seized it, but it was inevitable that we would surprise us on the main road, so we had to flee to Lion Mountain." Yi'an Ling said.

"Oh? The Big Lion of Lion Mountain! Is this where your nickname started? Are you familiar with the road?" Jiu Ling'er asked.

"Familiar." Yi'an smiled shyly and nodded.

"Haha, you lead the way, that lion." Jiu Ling'er immediately said, "Get on your horses. If you catch them, you can save a lot of battles, save a lot of brothers from dying, and put down the rebellion faster. Everyone must chase after them, understand Yet?"

The surrounding cavalry soldiers agreed with a loud bang.

At dusk, when approaching Lion Mountain, I finally found a group of people galloping on horseback.

Jiu Ling'er became excited, raised her knife and roared, "Brothers, go up, kill..."

"Kill..." Everyone was also excited and rushed straight away.

The group of people running wildly in front suddenly slowed down.Jiu Ling'er led the guards and swept over like a hurricane, and the sound of the horns soared into the sky in an instant, flying straight into the sky.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer.Yi An Ling suddenly pointed forward and shouted: "My lord, they seem to be our people. Look at their battle flags."

Jiu Ling'er had been thinking about what to do after capturing Adram and Sukru. At this time, she looked up in surprise when she heard the words, and she saw that the imperial battle flag in the cavalry team in front was particularly eye-catching. Their speed was Gradually slowed down, as if it was about to stop.

Jiu Ling'er held up her long spear and shouted loudly, "Left and right, surround..."

Goulding and Qiercha immediately led a team of cavalry to outflank them from both sides.Immediately there was an order from the cavalry team, and in conjunction with the waving of various battle flags, the soldiers took their time and laid out a solid barrel-shaped defensive formation in an orderly manner under the commander's order.

Jiu Ling'er led the soldiers of the personal guards and slowly pressed up.

The team in front of me consisted of about 100 horsemen, with disheveled clothes and incomplete armor. Some soldiers didn't even have leather armor, just wearing ordinary clothes.There are also various weapons, such as swords, guns, swords and halberds, and spears and halberds are quite messy.Facing hundreds of menacing cavalry, the opposing soldiers not only did not show the slightest panic, but quickly reacted and formed a defense. This made Jiu Ling'er have a strong interest in this small cavalry.

"My lord, the opponent is calm in the face of danger and is skilled in forming formations. He is obviously a veteran of battles. There may be experts in cavalry in the formation." Nayantai said cautiously by Jiu Ling'er's side.

Jiu Ling'er smiled and nodded, "You are right, there are masters, but Aserai is a place where dragons and tigers are hidden. Since ancient times, heroes have emerged in large numbers and heroes are everywhere. Look, our big lion brothers are not Well."

Yi'an waved his hand embarrassingly, "My lord, you praised me. I don't know if it's my own or Adram's playing tricks. My lord, do you think we should rush first or ask first?"

From a distance, Jiu Ling'er saw that Gu Erding and Qi Ercha had led the team to outflank the position. They were about 60 meters away from the cavalry formation, and they were also 60 meters away from the opponent. It is within the precise range of the enemy's bow and arrow.

"You wait here, I'll go and see. I want to see what new tricks Adram can play?"

Jiu Ling'er said to Yi'an Ling and Na Yantai, "Look at my gestures, I tell you to attack you and kill me immediately."

Yi'an shouted loudly: "My lord, I'll go with you."

Just as Jiu Ling'er was about to refuse, Yi'an Ling had already turned around and snatched the battle flag from the flag bearer's hand, and held it high in her hand with a resolute expression on her face.Jiu Ling'er laughed, waved to Yi An Ling, and rode forward.

Nayantai worshiped Jiu Ling'er, thinking that he was number one in the world, there was nothing he couldn't do, and no one could defeat him, so he didn't even have a word of dissuasion.

Nayantai turned around and yelled, "Take the bow and shoot the arrow...be careful..."

The Horn screamed suddenly and terribly.

The soldiers of the pro-guards and the guards raised their bows and arrows at the same time, and the tense atmosphere suddenly enveloped the battlefield.

At this moment, one person and one rider suddenly rushed out from the opponent's barrel formation.The man was riding on a white horse, clothed in armor, holding high the imperial flag in his left hand, and carrying a gun in his right hand. He came slowly without rushing.

"My lord, Doctor White Horse? It seems to be Doctor White Horse. What is he doing with the flag of Callad? Are you coming to surrender?" Yi Anyu suddenly called out when he saw the rider of the white horse.

Jiu Ling'er shook her head, he didn't know why.He also looked at the oncoming person very strangely.

"Has Adram escaped? Is this doctor Baima wanting to fake surrender to delay our time?" Yi'an whispered.

"Lion, do you know Doctor Baima?" Jiu Ling'er asked suddenly.

Yi An shook his head. "It is well known that he rides a white horse. It must be him. He can't be wrong. Does he think he can fool us by changing his clothes? A joke. Wait a minute and I'll kill him directly, so I won't talk to him."

The two sides gradually approached.On the opposite side is a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and strong, with delicate features, handsome and elegant, fair skin, a pair of beautiful big eyes that look very spiritual, he looks like a young man with both civil and military skills, with a steady yet undisturbed manner Elegant and heroic.

Jiu Ling'er sighed inwardly, it was the first time he had seen such a handsome face, and he was ashamed of himself.This person is Doctor Baima?Yi An Ling saw that he was a big child who had just grown up, and he was also suspicious.The young man stared fixedly at Jiu Ling'er with his eyes fixed for a moment, with a serious expression on his face, his maturity seemed unworthy of his age.

Jiu Ling'er and Yi Anling exchanged glances, both felt that something was wrong.This person is Doctor Baima?

The boy pulled the white horse back and looked at the two of them warily.Yi'an Ling raised the banner high, obviously an attendant.Jiu Ling'er had disheveled hair, was wearing worn out leather armor, was still stained with blood, and had a murderous look on her face, she didn't look like a good person.

The young man sneered, pointed his right spear forward, and said loudly: "You horse bandits and robbers, taking advantage of the chaos in Karad, colluded with the Kuman, burned, killed and looted, and committed a lot of blood debts. What crime should we have?"

Jiu Ling'er and Yi'an were stunned.

"You pretend to be the Jiuling'er Cavalry Army of Dongtu, and you are doing harm to the people everywhere. It is not a pity to die."

Jiu Ling'er laughed.He suddenly felt that this was really a joke.

"Thief, if you meet me today, I will teach you to die without a place to bury you." The young man suddenly yelled sharply, his voice sounded like thunder.

Yi An looked at Jiu Ling'er.Jiu Ling'er looked up at the sky.It was dusk, and it was estimated that it would be impossible to catch up with Adram.They started earlier than themselves, and it was not easy to catch up, especially in this mountainous area, it might be even more difficult.

Immediately, Jiu Ling'er thought of quitting.He looked at the young man in front of him and liked him very much.But he didn't want to waste time, so he hurriedly explained: "Which lord are you subordinates to? I'm Jiu Ling'er, the acting governor..."

Before he finished speaking, the boy suddenly yelled: "Surrender! Or die!".Then he forcefully planted the imperial battle flag on the ground, drove his horse and raised his gun, and killed him.

Yi'an Linghu roared: "Little boy! You will get my sword, but it will be stuck in your chest." He raised the flag in one hand and the long knife in the other, and urged his horse to meet him.

"When..." When the swords and guns met, there was a shock.The two horses staggered, and each rushed for more than 20 meters before stopping.

Yi'an Ling didn't expect that this young man looks gentle, but his strength is astonishing. He carelessly took a knife with one hand to chop off his gun, but he was so crushed that he almost lost the knife.He became angry from embarrassment, and threw the battle flag with his backhand on the ground in the distance to insert it obliquely, turned his horse back, raised his knife and chopped it again.

The young man was unafraid, and fought again with his gun.The two immediately killed each other.This kind of immediate fight is very troublesome.After each fight, the two had to urge the horse to run for a distance of more than ten to 20 meters, then turn around, urge the horse to speed up, and when the horse reached a certain speed, they fought again.The attack is an instant thing, after the blow, the horse has already led them away.So go back and fight again.

It was the first time for Jiu Ling'er to see warriors fighting face to face on horseback.But after watching them go through a few tricks, Jiu Ling'er became a little impatient.What the hell?If this fight continues, how long will it take to decide the outcome?I'm afraid the war horse Baimo has run out, the two of them haven't sweated yet?He looked up at the sky again, feeling even more anxious.There are still many things to deal with in Kuqa City, so there is no time to write ink here.

Jiuling'er galloped back to the front line and shouted loudly: "Blow the horn, assemble."

The sound of the bullhorn immediately resounded through the night sky.Gulding and Qiercha led the troops and quickly gathered on both sides of the pro-guards.

"Call the lion back. Whatever you fight, it's your own. Call him back."

Yi'an Ling, who was fighting, didn't dare to disobey the military order, and quickly pulled back his horse.

The young man saw that the opposing troops suddenly withdrew the siege and began to gather. He didn't know what happened, so he hurried back to his own troops.

Jiu Ling'er immediately ordered the troops to set off and return to Kuqa City immediately.The call to retreat immediately sounded.

"My lord, that boy is here again." Yi An Ling suddenly called out.

Jiu Ling'er looked back.The boy was galloping along behind an officer in full body armor.

"What? Did they believe it?" Yi An asked strangely.

"Go and have a look..." Jiu Ling'er patted Xiao Hei on the seat, and brought Yi'an Ling, Na Yantai and several attendants to greet her.

"Is Master Yi'an in front?" the officer in full armor shouted.

Yi An Ling looked carefully, and suddenly exclaimed: "Le Haner, are you still alive? I am Yi An Ling, I am Yi An Ling."

"Big lion, big lion..." The officer jumped off his horse with a cry of surprise, fell twice in a row, and ran over shouting all the way.Yi An Ling also dismounted and ran towards them, and the two hugged each other tightly.

Jiu Ling'er brought Nayantai and his attendants, as well as the young man who had fought with Yi'an just now, all got off their horses and surrounded them.The young man was very embarrassed, leading the horse and standing far away.

Yi An Ling brought his friends to visit Jiu Ling Er.The man was broad-shouldered, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a full beard. He looked very tough and brave.

"The next officer, Le Han'er, pays homage... to the warlord. The situation was unclear just now, there were many... many collisions, offenses, offenses." After confirming that the person in front of him was Jiu Ling'er, who was famous in the east, Le Haner looked very excited and spoke. Some stutter.

Jiu Ling'er hurriedly helped him up: "You seem to be injured, isn't your injury healed? I saw that you were unsteady when you got off the horse just now, and you fell twice in a row. Tonight I asked the lion to treat you to a drink, and I was shocked."

Le Haner's face turned red immediately.

Yi'an laughed loudly: "My lord, Le Han'er is my brother. When we suppressed the bandits together, he was the town guard, and I was his subordinate. Later, he was promoted to be the military affairs officer of the city government. "

Yi'an introduced, "This year the Aserai rebels attacked Razih, and the city magistrate and a group of city officials were all killed by the Aserai army."

"I thought you were dead too." Yi'an said to Le Haner, "Why did you appear here?"

"I escaped with a group of brothers. At that time, the Aserai rebels and the official army were fighting in the Hubia area. It was very chaotic, so we had to flee all the way east. But the main Aserai army appeared in Razih soon, and we waited We couldn't go down, so we had to go north and prepare to flee to Hussenfuleg. Unexpectedly, before we entered the border of Tanum, Tanum City was shot down by Adram. We had no choice but to flee to Lion Mountain and temporarily settle down. gone."

Le Haner hastily explained: "Recently, horse bandits and bandits of various ethnicities often pretend to be Lord Overseer's Ni Hai Iron Cavalry in this area, killing people, stealing goods and harassing the people. There was a misunderstanding just now, please forgive me."

"It's not easy for you to lead so many soldiers until now." Jiu Ling'er praised: "Now that the Aserai rebels in the Hussenfullge area have been completely defeated by us, you can leave Lion Mountain with your troops .What are your plans?"

"What plans can I have? Razih is gone, the mayor is dead, and no one is willing to take me in as a deserter." Le Haner said dejectedly: "If someone denounces me, I will just run away death penalty."

"Then you can't always be a bandit?" Yi An asked worriedly.

Le Haner smiled wryly, pointed to the soldiers in the distance and said, "They all escaped with me, and they are not guilty. If Lord Overseer is willing to take them in, I will be grateful. It can be mixed with food."

Jiu Ling'er laughed, looked at Yi'an Ling and said, "You're a good brother." Then he patted Le Han'er and said, "If you don't mind, follow me with your troops. In the future, fight back and make military achievements. If you take the credit for the crime, you will be fine."

Le Haner was overjoyed, and knelt down excitedly, wanting to kowtow to Jiu Linger, but Jiu Linger stopped her.

"Okay, okay. They are all my brothers, so don't kowtow less and do more things."

"Le Han'er, that kid is so powerful, what's his name?" Yi An Ling pointed to the young boy with a horse standing in the distance.

The haze buried in Le Haner's heart suddenly dissipated, and his mood improved a lot.He immediately waved at the boy again and again. "He is a fellow from my hometown. He was only 17 years old when he was recruited this year. Because he was very skilled in martial arts when he joined the army, he directly entered the guard of our city government as the head of the ten men."

At this time, the young man rushed over, blushing, and bowed to Jiu Ling'er and Yi'an Ling respectively.

"Xiaguan Tongzai has seen two adults."

"Tong Zai, this is the real Master Jiu Ling'er, not a fake." Le Haner said loudly: "We will follow him from now on."

============
Huo Shayun led the troops to the vicinity of Tannum City.

In the middle of the night, soldiers of the Aserai Army surrounded the convoy densely, and tens of thousands of torches were burning brightly in the night, illuminating half of the sky.

Huo Chayun looked at the Aserai army's grain and baggage convoy ahead, helpless.They received news from scouts that the Aserai army left Tannum City in the morning, and suddenly turned around and returned to Tanum City the next afternoon, and stopped going south.Huo Chayun and his subordinates were at a loss, not knowing what happened.The Aserai army is not withdrawing, why?Something happened on the battlefield of Ajit?

"Do you have any news from Lord Overseer?" Huo Chayun asked.

No one answered.It has been several days since I heard from Jiu Ling'er.The last message he sent was only two words: "Tracking." Following instead of tailing, this made Huo Chayun and the others very uncomfortable.

"Your Excellency won't take Kuqa City without telling us, close the door and beat the dogs." Atzo said suddenly.

Huo Shayun, with a red beard, looked at each other with thumbs and shook his head.

"Going to Kuqa City, unless we kill all the scouts of the Aserai Army, everyone can see it. Isn't it because we see no hope, so we come back to Tanum City to see if there is a chance?" The red beard He stroked his beard and said, "Don't think too much, hey, where did Lord Overseer go?"

"The Aserai army withdrew into Tanum City overnight, and now the Aserai army in Tanum City has increased to 3 people. We can't surround or fight with our small number of people. We are still here What are you doing?" Thumb said dejectedly, "Forget it, don't think about it, go back to sleep."

Huo Chayun laughed, stretched his thumb towards his thumb, and said loudly: "This is a great idea! It's really great! Let's go! Let's go back to sleep."

The next morning the Aserai army all withdrew into the city of Tannum.

At noon the next day, Huo Shayun finally received the documents from Jiu Ling'er. Jiu Ling'er led the main force of the cavalry to ambushe the 5000-man grain transport team of Su Keru's troops near Doka City, and then attacked Kuqa City to completely cut off the troops. The enemy's retreat path.Jiuling'er asked Huosha Yunbu to boldly surround Tanum City.At the same time, send this document to the city of Hussenfuleg, Danustika, and ask the city magistrate Wu Angru and the inspector Yalchiwen to do everything possible to raise troops and rush to the city of Tannum to participate in the siege of Tannum Battle of the Aserai army in Mu.

On the third day after capturing Lakuqa City, Jiulinger ordered the Xiao Yiying Department to garrison, and brought about [-] cavalry from the Feather Department and the Khazar Guards, and rushed back to the city of Tannum, and Huo Shayun Ministry rendezvous.Seven thousand troops surrounded the city of Tannum.

The Aserai army had no intention of breaking through and defended the city.

At dusk, Jiu Ling'er stood in the open field, looked at the majestic Tanum tower, and saw the flag of the Aserai army fluttering wildly in the wind on the tower, and felt a lot easier in her heart.We finally took back the entire Houssenfullge area, haha!How can I be so good! .

Suddenly, he thought of Turiados.The mood was suddenly lost, and what Turiados said by the river that night was deeply engraved in his mind.These people are desperate people, I killed one group after another, did I do it right?Who am I?Why don't I know what I'm doing right?Jiu Ling'er fell into deep thought.He seems to have lost the ability to tell right from wrong.He didn't know what he should do in this vast world?What should be done?what is rightwhat is wrong?
Jiu Ling'er stood motionless, letting her long hair flutter, wild and disheveled, she was delusional for a moment.

Standing in the distance with several subordinates, Tiza looked at Jiu Ling'er's body that was getting thinner day by day, and his heart was filled with infinite admiration for him.With 10,000 cavalry, this young man turned the tide and wiped out [-]+ Aserai rebels in just over a month. This kind of courage and courage, this kind of wisdom and courage, the world can have Several people?Ever since he met this wild boy, he has been killing, killing, and living with horses and swords every day on the battlefield, without stopping for a moment.This silly little savage was probably made for war.

It was getting dark.Yi'an Ling took out the cowhide tape from the bag and prepared to send it to Jiu Ling'er.Tiza took it from his hand and strode towards Jiuling'er.

"Cute..."

Jiu Ling'er woke up suddenly.

Tiza put some worn-out mattresses on him, and said with a smile: "When will I get you a fur cloak, winter is coming soon."

Jiu Ling'er sighed, and said, "Old man, give it to the wounded soldiers, they need it more. We are too poor."

"If you don't eat well, dress well, and sleep well every day, your body will not be able to withstand it."

Jiu Ling'er smiled softly, "I eat the same food and wear the same clothes as the soldiers. If they can withstand it, why can't I?"

"Go back with them, I have something to think about."

Tiza glanced at him silently, then turned to leave.

"Old man..." Tiza looked back at him, waiting for him to speak.

Jiu Ling'er hesitated for a moment and asked, "We killed so many Aserai soldiers, right?"

Tiza smiled wryly, and said in a low voice: "For them, starving to death is also death, and death in battle is also death. It's all death anyway, and it doesn't matter how they die."

After speaking, he turned around and strode away.

Looking at his back, Jiu Ling'er suddenly remembered the Aserai veteran who was trampled to death on the Thorn Mountain battlefield.His heart twitched unconsciously, violently and painfully.

"Lion's head..." Jiu Ling'er called out loudly.

Yi'an ran over.

"Ask Master Huo Shayun to immediately send someone to the city of Hussenfullage, and bring the military affairs officer of the Aserai army, Hewu Ting, to the city of Tannum."

"Then you..." Yi An asked hesitantly.

"Tongzai is here, it's okay. Go quickly."

In the night, by the side of Jiu Ling'er's camp, Tong Zai led two horses, one black and one white, and stood with their guns.

A few days later, Turiados, the magistrate of Razih, and Theo Yifu, the military affairs officer of the inspector's office, rushed to the city of Tanum with [-] troops.

The two had the same goal and asked Jiu Ling'er to send troops to Razih immediately.Now the situation of the Qarad officers and troops in the Ajit battlefield is very bad. The follow-up document sent by the governor of Ajit, Jiawu Woyi’an, to the East is to tell the East Inspector Yalchiwen that his troops are fighting around Hubia. He fought several tough battles, and the troops lost a lot, and he was unable to launch a violent attack. I hope he can defeat Adram as soon as possible and send troops to Razih to help.

Of course Jiu Ling'er agreed.It's just that if the enemies in Tanum City are not resolved, it's useless to say anything.The location of Tannum City is very important, it is the western gate of Hussenfullg.Most of the enemies going north from Lazih will be contained in Fort Tanum, and they will have to cross the ancient camel road between the Talma forests and then go north to Hussenfuleg. However, before Adram reached Hussenfuleg, the city of Tannum was captured by the Aserai army.However, Adram's army has suffered heavy losses now, even if he has great abilities, he is still stretched in the formation of troops.Now the news sent by Ajit was half a month ago, who knows what is going on with Ajit now?Perhaps because of Adram's disastrous defeat on the eastern battlefield, the Aserai soldiers on the Aegite battlefield were panicked, and perhaps they had been defeated one after another.

A few days later, Xiao Yiying sent a message.Adram and Sukru both returned safely to Hubia City.The Aserai army was already in chaos before the two returned.Immediately after the defeat of Jiawu Woyi'an's troops in the first battle, they ambushed the Aserai Army Guzid's troops.Now the army of Jawu Wo Nghe An is resting at Yakis.But Guzid was attacking Camel King, another leader of the Aserai Army, and they fought among themselves.Taras suddenly gave up Eyakis and fled into the desert oasis.Fenrir picked up a big deal for nothing, and his troops are now preparing to attack Hubia in Jamaya City.Now the Aserai army in the Ajit battlefield is unable to launch another attack because of the defeat in the first battle and insufficient troops.However, the Karad officers and troops have been attacking continuously for more than half a month, and the troops are in urgent need of rest and supplies, so there is no major attack for the time being.

Jiu Ling'er let out a long breath.In any case, the fact that Ajit sent troops to attack the Aserai army was the key to victory in the East Turkic battlefield.Now that the 18 army of Adram has been defeated on the Eastern battlefield, it has also indirectly reduced the pressure on the Ajit army.If the Ajit battlefield can still support, there is no need to send troops to the east.The most important thing now is to deal with the [-] Aserai army in Tannum City.After solving them, there is no need to worry about the future, and we can concentrate all our forces to go south to attack Razih.

Huo Shayun hurried back with He Wuting, and at the same time, he also brought the rewards from the mayor Wu Angru to the soldiers.

Jiu Ling'er and Xiao Yifu immediately received He Uting as guests of honor.Xio Yifu fully agrees with Jiu Ling'er's opinion. It is indeed the best strategy to persuade the Aserai army to surrender and solve the problem of Tanum City without bloodshed.He Uting is the chief military officer under Doctor Baima's account, and the two have a deep personal relationship.Now the Aserai army in Tannum City is the doctor Baima who has the final say, and it is of course Heuting who is most suitable to find a lobbyist.He Uting does not know martial arts.He was caught on the Thorn Mountain battlefield because he fell under the horse in a hurry because of his poor riding skills.

He Utin is in his 30s and looks ordinary. The only distinctive feature is his beard, one black and one white, like zebra stripes.But he had grown up in the prison camp, and his beard was untrimmed and unkempt, like a bird's nest.

There were more than 3000 prisoners in the captive camp in Houssenfullage City. He Wuding had the largest officer, and he was in charge of daily management.When Xio Yifu escorted them back to Hussenfullage City, he dealt with him every day and was fairly familiar with him.But it was the first time he saw Jiu Ling'er, and he was very scared.

Jiu Ling'er directly told him about the current situation of the battlefield in the Hussenfuleg area and the current situation of the Aserai army in the Ajit area.The more He Uting listened, the more frightened he became, and gradually his head began to sweat.

"You probably know why I called you here." Jiu Ling'er said with a smile, "Go to Tannum City, tell Doctor Baima about the current situation, and ask him whether to surrender? What are the conditions for him to surrender? ?”

He Uting looked at him, and asked timidly, "Can my lord make the decision?"

Xiao Yifu said at the side: "The chief inspector of Dongtu has given the full authority to handle the affairs here to the governor of Jiuling'er. Don't worry. At the beginning, the governor said that he would keep you alive, fed and clothed. Now you see Look, after you were captured, didn't you all live well in Hussenfullge City?"

He Uting sighed for a long time, and said in despair: "What about the future? What shall we do in the future?"

Jiu Ling'er smiled and said, "Do you want to know?"

He Uting's eyes widened immediately, and the hopeful expression on his face made Jiu Ling'er's heart tremble for no reason.

"Defend the border, garrison farmers and soldiers to protect the country. There are precedents in the previous dynasty, and this dynasty does not necessarily have to kill you. This is the only way, and I can only guarantee to do this." Jiu Ling'er looked at him gently Speaking of.

He Uting was silent for a long time, his expression gradually calmed down.He stood up suddenly, went to Jiu Ling'er, knelt down, and respectfully kowtowed three times.

Jiu Ling'er hurriedly helped him up, and comforted him with a smile: "Brother Hewuting, people have to live, no matter whether you rebel or surrender, in your heart you always hope that you can live and live better You are not wrong to think so. As the commander of the army, your Prince Aserai will not want you to die meaninglessly. Although you surrendered, if you can live well, he should agree."

He Uting glanced at him gratefully and walked out of the big tent.

He Udin came back in the evening, really fast.

Jiu Ling'er hurriedly welcomed him into the big tent, and asked eagerly, "Brother He Wuting, how are you doing?"

He Udin's face was so ugly that he was speechless for a long time.

"You were scolded back?"

He Wuting shook his head, smiled wryly, and said, "You must be scolded if you scold me. If it weren't for the fact that many brothers in the prison camp would be buried with me after I died, they would have chopped me into minced meat long ago."

Jiu Ling'er seemed to be prepared, she patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "What did they say?"

"There are four main leaders of the Aserai Army in the city, Doctor White Horse, Tulule, Zoeir, and one of Queser's subordinate Fubio. Tulule reacted most violently, and he wanted to stand by for help. The other three Everyone seemed hesitant, especially Phbio."

"Phobio?" Jiu Ling'er asked, "He is Queser's subordinate? Queser was killed by Adram, does he not want to be in the Aserai army?"

"He used to be a squadron leader of the Qarad army, and we said it was against him." Heudin said, "He has been silent."

Jiu Ling'er smiled and nodded, "Then do you have any suggestions?"

He Uting thought for a while, and slowly said: "I am a life-and-death friend with Doctor Baima. Many of his old subordinates are in the captive camp in Hussenfullge City. He will not make things difficult for me no matter what. This time he failed. In your hands, I feel ashamed of my trust in Adram, and I have been unwilling to face Adram. If Tanum City really has no way out, there is a high possibility that he will surrender. Zoel is always It is complaining that he is underappreciated. Now that he sees Adram fleeing back to Ajit alone, he may be very pessimistic about the future of the Aserai army. It is normal to want to surrender and find a way to survive. There is only Tulule, but he is young and reckless , is completely understandable."

Jiu Ling'er asked again, "Say it straight, don't beat around the bush. As long as they surrender, I can agree to many conditions."

He Wuting took a careful look at Jiu Ling'er, he really couldn't see any sign that Jiu Ling'er was deceiving him.But he really couldn't figure out how this cruel and bloodthirsty savage was so benevolent, which was too different from what was described in the legend.

"If your lord agrees to let go of the Aserai soldiers who are unwilling to surrender, Tanum City may surrender immediately."

Jiu Ling'er just smiled slightly, without the slightest surprise.

He Uting was secretly surprised.If Jiu Ling'er even dared to do this kind of thing, this young warlord is really extraordinary, his courage and mind have to be admired.He had discussed this proposal with Dr. Baima, Zoeir, in advance.In this situation, forcing a breakout is basically a dead end.Counting on the Aserai army from Ajit to come to rescue is even more idiotic.Holding on to Tanum City without rescue also has no way out.The existing grain and grass in the city can last up to four or five months.But four or five months from now?Are you starving?Surrender was also the only way to save the lives of [-] Aserai soldiers.But just like this surrender, a group of young officers in the Aserai army still refused to agree.So this condition is the best.Let them go back to Ajit to join the main Aserai army.

"Brother He Wuding, would you like to enter the city again?" Jiu Ling'er laughed, "I only ask the soldiers of the Aserai army to stay, and all the other officers of the Aserai army can leave, and they can leave immediately."

He Wuting's eyes widened, and he looked at Jiu Ling'er in surprise.

"Also, the sooner the better, lest you have long nights and dreams." Jiu Ling'er actually wished that they would leave tomorrow.

Xio Yifu walked into the big tent.Jiu Ling'er was lying on the ground looking at the map, Razih's map.It was specially brought to him from Danustica by Sio Yifu.

"Brother Shaw, is Brother He Wuting back?" Jiu Ling'er asked loudly without raising her head.

"No." Xio Yifu sat beside him and asked in a low voice, "How will you explain this to the Inspector in the future?"

Jiu Ling'er turned over and sat up, smiling all over her face, as if she had already got the city of Tannum, she was very happy. "This matter has to trouble Brother Shaw to go to Danustica himself."

Jiu Ling'er brought Xio Yifu a bowl of water, and said with a smile: "There are many advantages to letting the officers of the Aserai army go back. First of all, after they return to the Aserai army, the soldiers of the Aserai army know that now The officers and soldiers of Calad will no longer kill prisoners as soon as they are captured by General Galius. At least they know that I, Jiulinger, will not kill prisoners. Then the soldiers of the Aserai Army will surrender voluntarily in the next war. It won’t be like in La Mesa, where no one will surrender until the end of the battle. Now we don’t even kill Aserai officers, but put them back directly, so we won’t kill ordinary soldiers. So many officers returned In the Aserai army, these are all facts and living examples, and the soldiers will believe it when they see it, and this will directly shake the morale of the Aserai army."

"Secondly, it is the batch of grain in the city of Tannum. The Hussenfuleg region has no crops this year. Winter has come. How will hundreds of thousands of refugees live? Ajit's aid was gone last year, and their own refugee problems this year It can’t be solved, let alone help us. So we have to get this batch of food no matter what, and it can save tens of thousands of people. Not only do we have to get it, but we also need to get it as quickly as possible. Therefore We must do everything we can to prompt the Aserai army in the city to surrender as soon as possible. As long as the conditions are acceptable, we will agree to them all."

"There is also the advantage that..."

"Don't talk about it, this second reason is more than enough." Xio Yifu immediately interrupted him, and said with sincere admiration: "I don't think about it as much as you do. Whether it is war or this matter, I will Without your thoughtfulness, I am indeed not as good as you."

Jiu Ling'er teased on purpose: "Brother Yifu, are you praising me or mocking me? Will you not save me next time I'm in trouble?"

Xiao Yifu shook his head helplessly, "I'm praising you, I'm praising you."

Jiu Ling'er laughed loudly, "Brother Shaw, what is Lord Turiados busy with, why can't he see him?"

"I intentionally kept him out of our business."

"Why? Is there something wrong with him?" Jiu Ling'er asked strangely.

"He won't be a magistrate for long, and he will be dismissed sooner or later. It's better that he doesn't know about some things." Xio Yifu said lightly.

In the early morning of the next day, He Udin came back.

Everything went as Jiu Ling'er wished, and the Aserai army agreed to surrender.But Doctor Baima increased his request. He asked Jiulinger to release another [-] soldiers.

Seeing that He Wuting was hesitating and unable to speak, Jiu Ling'er only said one word: "Okay."

Don't say that Jiu Ling'er is afraid of long nights and dreams, and Doctor Baima is even more afraid of long nights and dreams.He and Zoir tried their best to persuade Tulule and other main combat factions, and summoned senior officers above the squadron leader overnight to explain the matter.Under the condition that they could go back smoothly, many officers who were clamoring for a bloody battle to the end fell silent.Doctor Baima, Tulule and Fubio asked all the officers who were willing to go back to go back.But unexpectedly, almost half of the officers chose to stay.There are some who want to swear to follow their commander to the death, some who have lost confidence in the Aserai army and are unwilling to go back, and some who are afraid that the enemy will repent or plot to be killed on the way.

Doctor Baima immediately selected 3000 elite soldiers from the army and asked Tulule to take them back.The combat power of these [-] people can be worth [-] troops.Fubio chose to stay.Zoe chose to stay.Doctor Baima also chose to stay.

Tulule almost knelt down and begged Doctor Baima to leave with him, but Doctor Baima resolutely chose to stay.

"If that savage repents, I will lead everyone to defend the city until they die in battle. I will never embarrass the Aserai army. I will have no face to face the prince. If I go back like this, I will even have no face to face the prince, you know? If you want to do this Do it, and you can take my head with you."

Tulule left the city with more than 3000 people at noon that day.Zoel and He Udin wanted to send it all the way.Along the way, the cavalry of Ni Hai's iron cavalry disappeared like air, without even seeing a shadow.

On the fourth day, the gates of Tanum were opened wide, the soldiers of the Aserai army went out from the north gate, and the officers and soldiers entered through the south gate.The city of Tannum was successfully taken.Jiu Ling'er and Xio Yifu hosted a banquet for Doctor Baima, Zoel, Fubio, and He Udin in the big tent of the military camp.

Doctor Baima finally saw the savage Jiulinger.He stared silently for a long time, almost unable to believe his eyes, this young man who seemed to be in his twenties was already an acting warlord, and his reputation was already well-known in the east.

"Do you think I'm too young?" Jiu Ling'er laughed, "Maybe I'm older than I look. Compared with your Emir Sukru, who is older?"

Dr. Baima was infected by his enthusiasm and frankness, and gradually relaxed.He smiled and said, "Emil Sukru is 27 years old, a few years older than you. But he is not as good as you in fighting. Before leaving, he was ambushed by you near Kuqa."

Jiu Ling'er smiled slightly, and said: "Who can say clearly what happened on the battlefield. Today I win the battle, and tomorrow I may die in the battle. Don't worry about this matter, life and death are not guaranteed."

Doctor Baima and the others were moved, and they couldn't help looking at Jiuling'er with admiration.At a young age, he can see through life and death, which is really different from ordinary people.

"My lord, you just appeared on the Maowu Mountain, why did you run away suddenly? We have been unable to figure it out. Was your main force in the Maowu Mountain at that time?" Fubio asked.

When Jiu Ling'er heard this, she pointed at him and said, "You were the vanguard on Maowu Mountain. Yes, our main force was in ambush at that time, ready to ambush you. But your ambush troops were discovered by our scouts." , so we ran away immediately."

Jiu Ling'er pointed at him with a smile: "I also want to ask you something. We set up three ambushes on the road to the Bess Pass in Tannum, waiting for you to leave the city. Why did you run away in a blink of an eye? Already? You already knew we were in ambush on the road?"

Fubio's expression changed drastically, and he was speechless for a long time.Doctor Baima, Zoel, and He Uting were secretly shocked.

"I..." Fubio wanted to tell the truth but was afraid of being laughed at, so his face blushed and he thought for a long time before he said, "I was afraid of being ambushed, so I ran to the south bank of the ancient camel road."

Jiu Ling'er was stunned for a moment, simple and practical.

Everyone chatted while eating, and they slowly talked very speculatively with each other.

"All of you will go to Hussenfullge with Mr. Siouyifu first. When the war is over next spring, we will go north together. Amprela has a large tract of grassland and forest, and it is a very beautiful place. In the future, we will be together and gather together There are many days."

Tong Zai walked in suddenly, leaned over and whispered something in Jiu Ling'er's ear.Startled, Jiu Ling'er hurriedly stood up, bowed politely to the four of Doctor Baima, and hurried out of the big tent.

Callad December 1085.

Liezha stood quietly outside the big tent.Seeing Jiu Ling'er come out, Lie Zha quickly knelt down and saluted. "grown ups……"

"What's the matter with Ajit?" Jiu Ling'er asked anxiously as soon as he helped him up.

"Sukelu has stepped up patrols in the Chabrab area, and has also deployed heavy troops in the city of Sahel, completely cutting off our land connection with Ajit." Liezha whispered, "The Aserai army has recently mobilized very Frequently, it seems that there is some big movement."

Jiu Ling'er was taken aback, and immediately asked: "Advance or retreat?"

Leza shook his head.

Jiu Ling'er pondered for a while, then continued to ask: "Why didn't Xiaoxin come in person?"

"Captain Solasin went to Razih to investigate the military situation in person, and has not been in Kuqa City."

"Yiying, Index Finger, and Pilan are all okay."

"Your Commander and the two captains asked me to say hello to you." Lie Zha said very touched.

"Have all the prisoners of Kuqa City been taken?"

"Return to my lord, I have arrived today. In addition, according to my lord's instructions, we have already contacted the governor of Ajit. This is the letter from the governor of Ajit."

Jiu Ling'er took the document from Lie Zha's hand and opened it immediately impatiently.

Jawu Woyi'an's request was very simple, to send troops to Razih immediately.Tannum City can be temporarily surrounded by some troops without affecting the overall situation.If the Aserai army can be completely wiped out before the arrival of spring, the spring sowing of next year can be guaranteed, and the lives of the people in the second half of next year can be guaranteed.Jia Wuwo Yi'an used the word "urgent" several times in succession at the end, expressing his eagerness for this matter.

Lie Zha looked at Tong Zai with interest.This fair and elegant young man is not only handsome, but also sophisticated and calm, giving a very good first impression.

He couldn't help but quietly asked: "Are you the new guard commander of your lord?"

Tong Zai smiled shyly, bowed politely and replied, "No. I am the head of the ten guards in Razih's residence."

"Razih?" Leza asked in surprise.

"After Razih was captured by the Aserai army, Lord Le Haner, the military officer, took us all the way north. It was not until a few days ago that we served under the account of Lord Overseer."

"Oh." Lie Zha suddenly realized that the newcomer had not yet been included in the establishment of Ni Hai's iron cavalry.

"I used to be your bodyguard too. My name is Lie Zha. You..."

"My son." Tong Zai hurriedly replied, "I heard from the old man that you, you and Lord Atezor used to be Lord Overseer's bodyguards."

Lie Zha patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and said in a low voice: "Master Warlord's martial arts are amazing. When you are free, you should ask for advice and learn more. It will benefit you a lot in the future."

Tong Zai hurriedly saluted again, and said gratefully: "Thank you, sir."

After reading Jia Wuwo Yi'an's letter, Jiu Ling'er thought for a while and said, "Lie Zha, you stay here for now, don't rush back to Kuqa City."

"Tong Zai, immediately notify several regiment commanders and captains to wait for me in the side tent."

All the soldiers of the Aserai Army in Tanum City, plus the grooms and handymen of the convoy, plus more than 5000 captives brought back from Kuqa City by Leza, totaled more than 5000 people. Under the circumstances, they gathered outside the city smoothly and set up a large camp of prisoners.

Jiu Ling'er has a very headache now.The governor of Ajit, Jiawu Woyi'an, was urging him to send troops, and Theoyif and Turiados were also urging him to send troops, and even several subordinates were urging him to send troops.But he has no soldiers to go out.The troops lost more than 700 people in the two battles in Kuqa, and they have not been replenished so far.Moreover, Kuqa City and Tanum City now need troops to guard. More than 3 prisoners were also guarded by troops.A large amount of food had to be escorted by soldiers to Hussenfuleg and Danustica.People are needed everywhere, and he can't gather 5000 people no matter what he does now.He ordered Kuaiqi to rush to the city of Hussenfullge and Danustika every day to call for reinforcements, but so far there has been no reply.Inspector Yaer Chiwen sent someone here, but it was just to reward and reward the troops, and there was not a single soldier.

Heavy snow, he is now looking forward to a heavy snowfall earlier to relieve his urgent needs.Jiu Ling'er reorganized the 3000 infantry brought by Xio Yifu into an infantry team, led by Xi Ao Yifu.These [-] people were improvised from various small towns and small towns. Fu Qier, the old subordinate of Siou Yifu, acted as the temporary captain and brought them to the front line of Tannum City.For the convenience of command, Jiu Ling'er arranged for Le Han'er, Yi'an Ling, and Fuqier to be the three captains of the infantry team.

According to Jiu Ling'er, although the infantry is infantry, they must ride horses instead of walking. Otherwise, the troops will not be mobile, and they will not be able to keep up with the rhythm of the cavalry, and will not be able to exert their power.The troops now have a surplus of horses, and it would be a waste not to use them.Le Haner's more than 100 cavalry were all incorporated into the pro-guards.The bodyguard expanded to more than 200 people, and Jiu Ling'er appointed Tong Zai as the captain.

It is a fact that there are no soldiers in the east, Jiu Ling'er can only think of another way.Jiuling'er called Heju, Lu Feishui, Esuer, and Nayantai to ask for their opinions, and planned to borrow troops from the two tribes again.

If he asked the two tribes for cavalry again, it would depend on whether Lu Tengfei of the Bailu tribe and Mo Suyi of the Kujit tribe would agree.Jiu Ling'er didn't want to weaken the strength of the two tribes because of her repeated conscription, which would be a bit difficult for others.After the four people discussed it, they felt that if the two tribes were together, it would be about the same if they gathered a thousand people.

Heju came up with an idea that he could ask for soldiers from the Black Feather King, Le An Leou. Last time, the Black Feather King cheated Jiu Ling'er and owed his lord favor.Although the Lord confiscated all the captives of Nachahan last time, they were all under Titto'er's subordinates, and did not move Le'an Leou's troops.This time, I can take the opportunity to recruit him.Jiu Ling'er was overjoyed, and immediately sent messengers to Tanong Mountain day and night.

But distant water cannot quench near thirst.The governor of Ajit, Jiawu Woyi'an, sent another person to urge Jiu Ling'er to lead his troops to immediately repel the Aserai army occupying Razih, clear away the worries for the Ajit army, and threaten Hubia. Celeste Army.

Inspector Yar Chi Wen also received a letter from Jawu Wo Nghe An.Jia Wuwo Yi'an threatened him in the letter that if Jiuling'er was not ordered to send troops again, he would write a letter to impeach Yalchiwen for delaying the military plane.Yaer Chiwen cursed angrily.If it weren't for Jiu Ling'er's ability to fight, the Aserai army is still showing off its power in the Hussenfullge area, how can it spare to help you?Don't look at the real situation in Dongtu, just know about impeachment, impeachment.

Yalchiwen got angry and ordered the city officials from all over the place to immediately dispatch all the troops to the city of Tannum.If not, take your own weapons and take your subordinate officials and family members to enslave you.Whoever disobeys orders is impeached, sued for disobedience, and appeases and sympathizes with the Aserai rebels.

Jiu Ling'er received a strict order from Inspector Yaer Chiwen, knowing that she couldn't go on, so she had to take the cavalry from the Feathers' Department to Kuqa City to join Xi'ao Yiying's Department.

Xiao Yifu and Huo Shayun temporarily stayed in Tanum City, guarding the prisoners, waiting for reinforcements.Jiu Ling'er brought more than 6000 people from the Guards, Scouts, Guards, Khazar Guards, Feathers' Oath Department, and Xi'ao Yiying Department to Razih.

Riding on Xiao Hei's broad back, Jiu Ling'er looked around curiously. "Old man, this is the Hasa Desert, is this the Great Hasa Desert?"

Tiza snorted disdainfully, and said loudly: "I think this is not as good as ours. Ours is endless, with big mountains, clear water, vast grasslands, forests everywhere, and the beautiful Tanysis Lake. It is number one in the world. But look here, there is yellow sand everywhere, although it is endless, but there are no mountains or trees, compared with our hometown, it is far worse."

Jiu Ling'er laughed: "Have you never been to the Hasa Desert?"

"Of course I haven't been here. I have been a soldier at the border for more than 40 years, and I have never been out of the East. This is the first time." Tiza said lightly.Immediately, he remembered what Jiu Ling'er had told him about the past, and hurriedly asked with concern: "Did you meet him when you were young? What impression do you have?"

Jiu Ling'er shook her head, "I feel very strange to this place, and I can't remember anything. But I think this place is wider, more majestic, and more imposing."

Tiza looked around, frowning on purpose and asked, "Aura? What aura? I think it's more desolate and more tragic."

Jiu Ling'er immediately thought of the Aserai Army, and thought of the countless people who had been displaced and starved to death on the roadside, and her mood immediately changed a lot.

Tiza looked back at Tong Zai who was following closely behind. Tiza liked him so much that his eyes narrowed with a smile.

"Tongzi, why didn't you wear the armor I gave you yesterday? Also, what about that white fur cloak?"

Tong Zai smiled embarrassedly, "Thank you, old man."

"Why not?" Tiza asked with a smile.

"Old man, you don't have any, I'm a bodyguard who is too ugly to wear, and I think..." He looked at Jiu Ling'er next to him, and didn't continue.

"It's okay, just tell me." Tizha looked at Tongzai, no matter how much he liked it, his mouth burst into laughter.

"I want to take it back to my mother after the fighting has subsided." Tong Zai said softly.

Tiza patted the horse hard, and shouted: "Okay, good boy. You are so far away from home, you still miss your parents, you know how to be filial to your elders, good boy, good boy."

He kept shouting, Tong Zai's white face instantly turned red.

Jiu Ling'er turned her head to look at Tiza, and laughed loudly: "Old man, there are several guards who follow me, it seems that you are the best for the boy, you are not afraid to let the others know, and break your old bone .”

Tiza glanced back at the boy, and said with a smile: "It can't be helped, this boy is knowledgeable, polite and gentle, very likable, just like the little prodigy Manid from Metakia, he is comfortable to look at." Then He glared at Jiu Ling'er and said, "How many of them dare to trouble me? Go ask, do they dare to find me? It's too late to hide from me!"

Jiu Ling'er smiled and shook her head, knowing that he was using her identity as a picket to scare people.Now no one wants to offend him.Ti Zha is the picket of Ni Hai's iron cavalry. Anyone who makes a mistake must be dealt with by him. Who wants to offend him?
"The last time the big lion wanted that armor, why didn't you give it to me? Now that you gave it to Tong Zai, the big lion may not be happy if he finds out."

Tiza immediately shouted: "Cute boy, I originally left this armor for you, so it's up to you to give it or not. Now you gave it to Tongzai, what does it matter to me?"

Jiu Ling'er couldn't speak for Tizha, so she couldn't help laughing. "Okay, okay. Old man, I really have you. By the way, the army has a lot of people and officers, so you have to pay attention to military discipline. Anyone who violates military discipline will be severely punished."

"Don't worry. The people in the scout team are ghosts and ghosts. They keep an eye on me everywhere. Few people can escape."

"Don't always stare at the soldiers making mistakes, but pay attention to the officers. There are those who deduct military pay, those who whip soldiers, those who bully others, those who steal secretly, or other violations of law and discipline. Killing one will not be tolerated." Jiu Ling'er said seriously.

"I have been a soldier for decades, and I have suffered a lot from it. How could I not pay attention to these things? Speaking of which, I want to thank you. I am old, and I still work for an official, and I am still a picket. Thank you. If I die, you must give this picket position to a loyal and reliable person, otherwise military discipline will be disrupted and it will be difficult to win the battle."

Jiu Ling'er nodded cautiously.

So Laxin came to meet him on horseback.

Due to the sudden appearance of Su Kelu's troops during the battle on Thorn Mountain, it almost caused the entire army of Ni Hai's cavalry to be annihilated. This incident stimulated him very deeply.Although Jiu Ling'er didn't punish him, and none of the other comrades came forward to criticize him, he felt that his fault was too great, and he was always in a bad mood, always avoiding Jiu Ling'er.Now, as long as it is news that he thinks is abnormal, he will take the trouble to review it himself.

Jiu Ling'er hadn't seen him for a long time.So Laxin is much thinner than before, and he is darker.

Jiu Linger said heartbrokenly: "You are the chief officer of the scout team, not a scout. If you run around like this, what if there is any urgent military situation that needs to be dealt with?"

So Laxin hurriedly said: "I know, I will pay attention. The scouts are all in Kuqa City recently. There are too many things to do and few people, so they can't be too busy."

"What's the news about Musom City?" Jiu Ling'er asked.

"The Aserai army suddenly abandoned the city and fled. Now the four gates of Musom City are wide open. Except for the people in the city, no Aserai army soldier can see it." Solasin laughed, "Probably because I heard Ni The Haitie cavalry came, and the Aserai army was terrified and ran away."

"Where's the direction of Razih?" Jiu Linger asked immediately.

"Razih is now garrisoned by Sukru's subordinate Fan Yilier."

"how many people?"

"If you include the Aserai army who fled to Razih, Fan Yilier has about 1 people in his hands."

Jiu Ling'er thought for a while, then turned to the bugle soldiers and said, "Order the troops to rest and stop advancing."

============
Xiao Yiying and Yu Shi rushed to the location of the Chinese army.Jiu Ling'er was sitting on the ground looking at the map.

"Yiying, Yuswear, the enemies of Musom City have all fled to Razih City now. There is no Aserai army in Musom City, what are we going to do? Go directly to Razih, what do you think? "Jiu Ling'er asked.

Xi Ao Yiying and Yu Shi glanced at each other, but without answering, they looked down at the map.

"We don't have the strength to attack the city." Xiao Yiying said, "We don't bring much supplies. Isn't it too hasty to rush to Lazih City now?"

"If we don't attack the city, what are we going to do? Lazih is a hundred miles away from Musom, and the supplies have to travel more to get to Razih. If they are delayed on the road for a few days, we will go to the city in Lazih." Qihecheng is very passive." Yu swore loudly.

"The Governor's intention is to completely eliminate the Aserai Army this year, so I estimate that their battle against the Aserai Army will start again soon. Now we will quickly catch up and bite them to death. Qihe’s Aserai army formed a deterrent, forcing them to fail to increase their troops in the direction of Hubia. If we make a false appearance of [-] troops, it is more likely to force them to abandon the city of Razih and return to the city of Sahel.”

Jiu Ling'er pointed to the city of Sahel on the map and said: "Look, the city of Sahel guards the border between Hubia and Razih. The terrain is very complicated and dangerous. There is also a port city in the west of Sahel Brab, these two cities combined with the complex terrain of the Jeshm Mountains have divided Hubia and Razih very well. If we keep pushing up, it can put huge pressure on Hubia's Aserai army. "

Xiao Yiying stared at the map for a while, then gestured with his hands and said: "If the enemy of Razih City wants to retreat, they must either take the waterway from the port of Doka City, or go west to Chabrab. Now Doka Although the port of the city is still in the hands of the Aserai army, they have basically gone through the food, grass and luggage, and the city of Kuqa is in our hands, which poses a great threat to them. They will not take this route. If we were in Yeshm An ambush between the mountains and the city of Razih may be able to eliminate them. The city of Sahel is far away from these two pools, and it is impossible to send troops in time to support them."

Yu swore immediately retorted: "The Aserai army has long been afraid of being ambushed by our cavalry, and will definitely not give us a chance."

Solasin pointed to the city of Lazihe and said: "If we rush to the city of Razihe quickly, although we have a chance to ambush them, but we don't have enough troops and supplies, I'm afraid we won't be able to seize this opportunity."

Xiao Yiying nodded, "Xiaoxin is right. We need a certain number of troops to feign attacking Lazihe City, and we need enough troops to ambush them. It seems that we can only go to Razihe City to scare them. "

"Xiaoxin, the food and grass Ajit promised to give us, will Jiaxila's or Sanara's come first?" Jiu Ling'er asked.

"I can't tell." So Laxin smiled bitterly: "There are people from the Aserai army everywhere here, and it is very inconvenient to contact. To be honest, I suspect that the possibility of them arriving on time is very small."

"If we can't be sure that Ajit's supplies will arrive tomorrow, we can't go to Razih." Tiza said seriously: "If something happens to the troops and the soldiers suffer losses because of the supplies, that's my responsibility. "

Jiu Ling'er smiled and said, "What if I take on this responsibility?"

Tiza stared at him with wide eyes, looking very annoyed. "If you must go to the city of Razih, you should find a few locals to lead the way, lest you go in the wrong direction and be ambushed by the Aserai army. We are not familiar with the terrain here, but the Aserai army is familiar with it. They are all born and bred here, and they can find their way with their eyes closed."

Jiu Ling'er clapped her hands and said loudly: "The old man is right. Xiaoxin, when will the scouts from the direction of Lazihe come back?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to get back until midnight."

"Then first go find a few local people and ask them if they would like to lead us the way?"

"As long as you give some food, no one is unwilling." So Laxin said with a smile while flying on the horse.

Suddenly, there was a hasty and shrill sound of alarm horns from the direction of the rear army.The sound of the trumpet alarmed all the soldiers, and everyone got on their horses one after another and formed a battle queue as quickly as possible.

Looking at Tiza, Jiu Ling'er felt that he was simply amazing.

Yu Shi and Xiao Yiying immediately got on their horses and galloped towards their respective troops.

Jiu Ling'er laughed loudly, and he said to Tiza: "Old man, if the Aserai army is really attacking, you are a half-god."

Tiza stroked his mustache and said triumphantly, "I've been fighting for decades, and I'm not as good as you in sending troops, but I'm sure I have more combat experience than you."

Standing next to the two, Tong Zai looked dignified. Seeing that Jiu Ling'er and Ti Zha were still talking and laughing calmly at this moment, he felt admiration in his heart.He really wanted to calm down, but his heart was beating uncontrollably, and he felt slightly suffocated.He had a strong urge to jump on the horse immediately, jump on the horse and fight with a gun.He has been in the army for less than half a year, and has been following the mayor as a guard, and has not participated in any battles.Following Le Haner to break through, that was his first battle, the first bloody battle.Later, he wandered around with Le Haner, and fought several battles with sporadic Aserai troops, but they were all small battles involving dozens of people.That day at the foot of the Lion Mountain, the army was surrounded by Ni Hai's iron cavalry guards. Le Haner let the boy with the best martial arts in the army fight alone when he was outnumbered.After Le Haner wanted to use Tongzai's outstanding martial arts to pick and kill several opponents, the troops took the opportunity to break through.Unexpectedly, the first time Tongzai played alone, he ran into the famous big lion Yi'an Ling.

Tong Zai has never participated in a war, and he is eager to follow the famous wild man Jiu Ling'er in a fierce battle and make a name for himself.What an exciting thing it is for a cavalry army of thousands of people to charge and fight on the endless plain.

Tong Zai clenched the handle of the sword tightly, his palms began to sweat.

Jiu Ling'er suddenly heard his slightly heavy breathing, and smiled at him: "Tongzi, relax."

Tong Zai blushed, feeling a little embarrassed for being too nervous.

Jiu Ling'er walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder affectionately and said, "Thousands of troops, tens of thousands of troops fought, unlike the battle between hundreds of people we had at Lion Mountain that day, the difference between them is very different. Big. In small battles involving dozens or hundreds of people, the martial arts and courage of the soldiers, and the cooperation between everyone is very important, which is the key to victory. However, in a battle involving thousands or tens of thousands of people, it is important to deploy troops and command flexibly. , requires the tacit cooperation between the various troops, and individual strength and bravery are of little use.”

"Children, fight a few more battles, watch a few more bloody and bloody battlefields, and you will soon become a brave and skilled veteran." Tiza said indifferently, "After a long time, you will get used to fighting. .”

A scout came hastily on horseback.

"What's going on?" Solasin asked angrily, "Why did this happen again? Where are the scouts cruising around?"

The scout was startled when he saw Solasin getting angry.

"My lord, it's Jia Xila's troops, they escorted the supplies." The scout hurriedly replied.

Jiu Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief.It seems that this trip is very lucky, whatever it thinks, it will come.

When So Laxin heard that he was one of his own, his heart fell to the ground immediately, and his expression immediately turned from anger to joy.

"They came from behind us, and they came from the small road. Our scouts are all on the main road, so they ignored it." The scout explained anxiously.

Solasin nodded in understanding, waved his hand and said, "Be careful next time, be careful. Go back."

Jiu Ling'er turned to So Laxin, and said solemnly: "When we arrive in this desert area, the mountains, rivers, villages and cities have changed too much. You have to urge the scouts to adapt to the environment in time. This kind of negligence can no longer be done."

Solasin blushed, and said softly: "We have noticed it when we were in Thorn Mountain, but the changes are too great, and the scouts also need a process of familiarization, so it is inevitable that there will be a lot of secrets."

Jiu Ling'er was a scout herself, so of course she knew the difficulties of scouts.

"If possible, recruit some soldiers here to supplement the scout team." Jiu Ling'er said to So Laxin: "The officer in charge of transporting food and grass in Jiaxila is very skilled. If it is the enemy, we will be beaten today. Caught off guard."

Solasin smiled wryly and said: "It's a powerful character. Last time Sukru almost ate us, and this time another one appeared. It is said that Aserai is a place with outstanding people and talented people. It is true. I have seen it. Look at the big lion, his martial arts are not inferior to yours; Adram and Sukru of the Aserai army are all admirable in their mental strategies; the boy next to you has good martial arts, good character, and good looks Whether you are knowledgeable or not, you don’t need to guess, you will definitely achieve extraordinary things in the future. This kind of rare people are like Aceledo’s. Admiration, admiration, it’s really a good place.”

Tiza laughed happily. "You have only lived for 20 years, what do you know? I think you are very good, and you are also from our east..."

"Okay, okay." Suo Laxin bowed to Tiza again and again, "I know what kind of person I am. Your old man is merciful, and he is merciful."

Jiuling'er and Tiza laughed loudly.At this time, there was a sound of bull horns in the distance to disarm the alarm.

An officer in full armor came with a few entourages on flying horses.Jiu Ling'er, So Laxin, and Tiza dismounted to meet them.

The officer saw it from a distance, immediately dismounted from his horse, and walked a few steps.He seemed to recognize at a glance that the person walking in the middle was the Overseer Jiu Ling'er, and he stopped to salute after a long distance, very respectful.

"My subordinate Muzai pays his respects to Lord Overseer."

Jiu Ling'er hurried forward to help her up.This person is very young, about eighteen or nineteen years old, tall and strong, with a slightly dark complexion, a face with sharp edges and corners, a resolute expression, a pair of piercing eyes, wise and deep, elegant and heroic.

Seeing this, Jiu Ling'er immediately felt good, and asked with a smile, "Are you Jiaxila's troops?"

"Exactly. Under the orders of the city magistrate, I brought 500 people to escort food and grass, and came from Gasila by sea day and night." Muzai's tone of voice was not fast, and he said it very comfortably.

"Are you..." Jiu Ling'er didn't know what position he held, so she deliberately asked in a slow tone.

"Xiaguan is now the captain of the city gate of Jiaxila City."

"Before leaving, did the mayor tell you that after the food and grass are delivered, your troops will stay and participate in the battle against Musom City?" Jiu Ling'er asked.

"The mayor of Chabrab told me that after he saw Lord Overseer deliver the grain and grass, he would stay in his tent to serve." Muzai said very respectfully, "Your rank is small, and you can't see the mayor. grown ups."

Jiu Ling'er laughed, patted his shoulder and said, "Where are you from?"

"This officer is from Garcila. He joined the army last year and has been participating in the crusade against the Aserai army with the governor's army. He was injured on the battlefield three months ago and went home to recuperate. He just received an appointment this month and is preparing to go to Chabrab Take up the post of town guard."

"Oh, so it is. You surprised us by appearing from behind us unexpectedly. Your marching route is very hidden. If it is the Aserai army, we will be attacked by surprise." Jiu Ling'er said appreciatively.

Muzai hurriedly explained: "The Aserai army is very rampant now, haunting and unpredictable. For the safety of food and grass, I deliberately led my troops to set off by sea in advance. We found that the Aserai army in Doka City was extremely chaotic, and then captured it. At the ferry, Mr. Theo Yifu has sent people to Doka City to take over the city. We seized some of Aserai's food that had not yet been transported. I led my troops to bring enough food, grass and horses, and then went around to the back of Ni Hai's cavalry army. There is an adult Ni Hai cavalry leading the way, and I can rest easy in the back, and the journey is smooth."

Jiu Ling'er was very surprised when he heard that, this kid only had a few hundred people, and he knocked down the ferry of Doka City, what a hero!Jiu Ling'er looked at him carefully again, secretly praising him in her heart, and couldn't help but look at him with admiration.Jiu Ling'er then introduced So Laxin and Tiza to him.

"You and Uncle Tiza will handle the handover immediately, and hand over the rations and troops to him."

"Then, I..." Muzai asked hesitantly.

"How did we get here at the beginning, many things are not clear, I want to ask you carefully. You follow me for the time being. We will set off again in an hour."

Muzai stared blankly at Jiu Ling'er's back, his eyes full of doubts.
