Riding and Blade: Laughing Wind and Cloud Road

Chapter 57

"Cute..."

The shout woke Jiu Ling'er up.He withdrew his mind from his contemplation and looked at Xio Yifu.

"Moe, the city of Razih has been controlled by us. Wei Zai, the military affairs officer of Sukru, surrendered. More than 2000 Aserai soldiers were captured, and the rest ran away."

"What's our loss?" Jiu Ling'er asked eagerly.

"No loss." Xio Yifu said with a smile, "Master Overseer has a clever plan, we took down the entire city without firing a single shot."

He gave Jiu Ling'er a thumbs up in admiration, "Follow you and fight, even if you don't agree with you."

Jiu Ling'er pushed his hand away, hugged his shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Yifu, don't praise me first, and discuss something with you, do you think it's okay?"

Xio Yifu looked at him vigilantly, stroked his three long beards, and asked, "Tell me."

"Open warehouses to release grain and relieve the people."

Xio Yifu pondered for a long time.He looked at the refugees in and out of the city, and said in embarrassment: "Moe, you have used up all the food, how will you solve the army's military pay and supplies? The governor of Ajit knows that you captured Razih, and he must think that we captured it." Lots of spoils for the Aserai army. With the financial constraints of Ajit, I am afraid he will not give us any more military pay and food."

Jiu Ling'er asked strangely: "Is it wrong for me to provide relief for the people? Why doesn't he give me military pay and food? Ajit doesn't have it. He can ask the court and the emperor for it?"

"Cute..." Xio Yifu broke away from his hand, faced him, and said solemnly, "The situation is different now. Both the local finance and the palace treasury are very tight. Because of the war, whether it is Aserai Whether it is the army or us, the consumption of materials has increased exponentially. Do you know how much the current generation of grain is worth?"

"Then what should they do? Do you want to watch them starve to death?" Jiu Ling'er pointed at the refugees below the city and shouted sharply.

"Moe, we can cook a little porridge every day to help them like the Aserai army. That's the only way." Xiao Yifu knew Jiu Ling'er's temperament, although Jiu Ling'er lost his temper, he didn't care , Stick to your own principles.As the affairs officer of the inspector's office, he has to be responsible for some things.

"Then many people will starve to death." Jiu Ling'er shouted.

"Without troops, more people will starve to death. Do you know that? Last year, 10,000+ people starved to death in the Ajit area alone. Who opened a warehouse to release food? It was the famous General Galius, Didn't he open a storehouse to release food?"

Jiu Ling'er asked in surprise, "Why?"

"Because they are full, they will soon join the Aserai army to attack us." Xio Yifu said confidently.

Jiu Ling'er cursed: "Fart. There are old people, women and children down there. How many strong men are there? Open a warehouse to release food."

Xio Yifu was anxious, grabbed him, and said loudly: "If you do this, someone will immediately write to the court, accusing you of sympathizing with the Aserai army, or even colluding with the Aserai army. Now that the court encounters such a thing, Generally, they don’t ask indiscriminately, but first catch them and then talk about them.”

Jiu Ling'er was so angry that she raised her hand and roared, "I want to release food, who dares to catch me!"

"Send the order, open the warehouse and release the grain!"

============
Weizai saw a soldier with disheveled hair striding into the courtyard.This man was tall and mighty, with a fierce murderous aura all over his body.His clothes are thin, and the leather armor on his body is not only worn out, but also covered with pudding.

Weizai's heartbeat suddenly increased.Is he the guard next to the wild man butcher, who came to interrogate himself.Then he heard the sturdy soldier and the guard at the door talking and laughing loudly, as if they were familiar with each other.Weizai gently opened the door.

"I'm Jiu Ling'er, I've come here specially to have a chat with you."

Wei Zai was taken aback, the person in front of him was the butcher Jiu Ling'er.While hesitating, Jiu Ling'er had strode towards him.

Wei Zai hurriedly wanted to kneel down, but Jiu Ling'er grabbed his shoulder and said with a smile, "Forget it, I still have something to ask of you."

Jiu Ling'er had been planning for a long time to attack Lazih City this time.Tong Zai and Muzai are very familiar with the terrain and roads in the Razih area, and the more than 100 soldiers brought out by Le Haner are all locals, and their accents and habits are exactly the same as the locals.

Taking advantage of the fact that they are not easy to be suspected, Jiu Ling'er asked So Laxin, Index Finger, and Lie Zha to go with them to the vicinity of Lazih City, instigated to gather the refugees along the way, and asked them all to gather in the city to beg for food .Once the city is overcrowded, the vigilance of the Aserai army will drop, and Sora believes that they will find an opportunity to seize control of the city gate.

Jiu Ling'er ordered Yu Shi and Xi'ao Yiying to retreat directly to the Musom camp, and go out to train every day to paralyze the scouts of the Aserai army.He led the troops of Xiao Yifu and Huo Shayun secretly to the vicinity of Razih City, hunted and killed scouts everywhere and hid himself.

Considering the possibility of street fighting with the Aserai army after capturing the city gate, Jiu Ling'er deliberately brought along the infantry-based Xio Yifu's troops.Jiu Ling'er and So Laxin made an appointment to launch a surprise attack around the time of breakfast in the morning, when there were the most refugees and the most chaotic.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Wei Zai ordered the soldiers to drive the refugees out of the city.The extreme chaos of the scene helped Jiu Ling'er a great favor.The city of Razih was occupied without bloodshed.

"Twice, why are you so lucky?" Wei Zai sat opposite Jiu Ling'er and asked with a wry smile.

"Twice?" Jiu Ling'er asked strangely, "When did we fight each other?"

"In the monitor lizard canyon, Sukru Emir ambushed 5 horses, just waiting for you to pass."

Jiu Ling'er shivered all over her body, a chill rushed from her vest to her forehead, and her face became very ugly.

"If it wasn't for the idiot Fan Yilier who led the people along, would you dare to say that your troops are no better than the Monitor Lizard Canyon?"

Jiu Ling'er smiled wryly.Good luck, really good luck. "I'm looking for you because of Fan Yilier."

Huo Chayun and Xiao Yiying led the troops to the city of Razih.At the same time, Jiuling'er sent someone to write to the governor of Ajit, Jiawu Woyi'an, telling him that the city of Razih had been captured.Should Ni Hai's cavalry continue to recover Razih and other surrounding counties, or go west to Hubia to help in the battle.

Entrusted by Jiu Ling'er, Wei Zai rushed to Sahel City to persuade Fan Yilier to surrender.Razih's Aserai troops were stationed in a prison camp outside the city.Jiu Ling'er ordered the soldiers to build a large camp outside the captive camp. Some tents housed refugees, and some housed the cavalry of Jiu Ling'er's army.All Xioyifu's infantry were stationed in the city, guarding the city.

At the end of the month, Turiados first arrived in Razih City.He was very grateful to Jiu Ling'er for helping him regain Razih in such a short time. Although there were still a few small towns still in the hands of the Aserai army, with the might of Ni Hai's iron cavalry, it was only a matter of time before they recovered.

Turiados immediately started the daily work with the original city officials. The first thing was to appease the refugees in the camp.Jiu Ling'er has been with Turiados all the time, and likes to chat with him and listen to him talk about the management methods and experience of internal affairs, which has benefited Jiu Ling'er a lot.In Jiu Ling'er's heart, Turiados is a good official who cares about the country and the people. If all the mayors in Calad are like Turiados, it is estimated that there will be no Aserai army rebellion this time. It's over.

Turiados is erudite and talented, dabbling in mathematics, astronomy, and ancient Chinese. When he was young, he traveled to Padishah in the far east to learn from the master of philosophy there, so he has some insights in philosophical logic.In the dead of night, the two sat in the study, one talking eloquently, the other listening with relish, often all night long.

Theo Yifu did not like Turiados.He thought that Turiados was cruel and scheming, and advised Jiu Ling'er to have less contact with him.Jiu Ling'er acted as if she didn't hear it, and she still spent every day with Turiados, just like Turiados' attendant.On the way, he heard that Fan Yilier of Sahel City did not guard Zai at all, so Turia Adams immediately assigned a guard beside him to go there.

Soon, news came that Fan Yilier of Sahel City had surrendered.Jiu Ling'er was very happy. The walls of Sahel City were tall and the surrounding terrain was complicated. A strong attack would definitely cause huge losses. Besides, there were no siege infantry at all except Xio Yifu's troops.Jiu Ling'er cast her eyes on Turiados in admiration.Fan Yilier's troops also walked into the captive camp under the guard of Ni Hai's cavalry.

Another day later, the governor of Ajit, Jiawu Woyi'an, came to write.He firstly praised Jiu Ling'er vigorously, and at the same time praised Turiados for being able to come back in time to preside over the military administration and resume production, and then tactfully rejected Jiu Ling'er's request to go west to join the war.Now that the Aserai army has been beaten into a panic by the officers, they have almost completely retreated to Hubia, looking as if they are about to be annihilated. Of course, Jiawu Woyi'an doesn't want Jiu Ling'er to take the troops to steal his credit at this time.But he agreed with Jiuling'er's troops to recover the whole territory of Razih.

Jiu Ling'er immediately ordered the team led by Huo Chayun and Yi'an Ling, a total of 4000 people, to recover the small towns and villages one by one, and at the same time disperse to attack the bandits.Xiao Yiying led his troops to Doka City to guard the port and official roads. Food, grass and luggage were taken by water and then by land, which consumed less and was much safer.Jiuling'er herself led the Feather's Oath Department and the Khazarian guards to the city of Chabrab, and gradually approached the city of Hubia to cope with the attack of the army of Jawuwo Yi'an.Theo Yifu led Lehaner, Fuqier and the guard team, a total of more than 2000 people guarded Razih City.

When the troops arrived in Chabrab City, the Aserai army had already withdrawn here.Jiu Ling'er immediately ordered the troops to set up a large camp and stop moving in the direction of Hubia.If they get too close, the governor of Ajit, Jawu Woyi'an, may have a problem.

That night, Jiu Ling'er was awakened by loud calls from outside the tent.He got up quickly, and just as he was about to go out to see what was going on, Tong Zai had already rushed in.

"My lord, the main force of the Lord Governor of Ajit is surrounded by the Aserai army."

Jiu Ling'er immediately lowered her head to look at the map on the desk, and asked at the same time, "How did you get the news?"

Before Tong Zai could answer, a bloody aura suddenly rushed into the big tent, and Muzai walked in with the help of a big man soaked in blood.Jiu Ling'er looked up and was taken aback: "囧dan".

"The next official, 囧dan, pays homage to the lord." The terribly defeated, embarrassed 囧dan struggled to bow down, but was held back by Tongzai and Muzai.

"No! Come on, what's going on?" Jiu Ling'er waved her hand and asked anxiously.

Jiongdan told the whole story intermittently.

Ten days ago, Lord Fenrir, the mayor of Garcila, led his troops to easily repel the Aseleguzid troops near the city of Jamayer.The Governor was guaranteed safety and then pursued all the way to the city of Hubia.In Hubia, Adram led his troops to defend for three days, then was defeated and abandoned the city.The governor left only 500 people to accept Hubia City, and then led the main force to follow and chase.The night before yesterday, a total of 15 troops from the Aserai Army's Talas, Sukru, Guzid, Tulule, and Camel King's troops suddenly appeared, catching the governor's main force by surprise.The governor led his troops to retreat urgently, and when they retreated to the salt mine, the whole army was besieged.Entrusted by the governor, Jiong Dan led a hundred cavalry to break through the encirclement desperately, and rushed out to ask for help.

Jiu Ling'er has been lying on the map, following Jiong Dan's narration to find the approximate location.

"My lord, this is the governor's document." Jiong Dan took out a roll of blood-stained letters from his pocket, and handed it to the boy next to him.

Tong Zai immediately handed it over, and Jiu Ling'er opened it casually, took a look at it, and put it on the desk, groaning silently.

Adram finally made a move. His strategy and courage were astonishing, and he made the move immediately after dividing his troops.The timing was so ingenious that Jiu Ling'er had to admire Adram's use of troops.Now it seems that everything about Taras being stranded on the mountain and unable to reach the battlefield, and the camel king being under house arrest, etc., were all deliberately arranged by Adram, and even the Aserai army who was going to defend Razih and Sahel to the death The low morale was easily taken down by him, which all hinted at Jiawu Woyi'an, the internal disputes of the Aserai Army were fierce, and the troops were in chaos. There were not many Aserai Army troops left in Hubia's lair.

When Adram saw the time was right, he immediately launched a counterattack, causing Jawuwo Yi'an to retreat again and again, forcing Jawuwo Yi'an to gather all the strength of the Ajit army to launch a counterattack against the Aserai army.Immediately Adram asked Guzid to pretend to be invincible in the city of Jamayer and retreat step by step. After the governor received the news that he had captured the city of Sahel, he must have mistakenly thought that this was the best way to defeat the Aserai army. The timing was right, and the warlord chased after him fiercely.

Adram lured Jawuwo Nguyen into a trap he had set.At this time, Adram was still worried, because there was still a powerful Ni Hai cavalry who could go west to join the battle at any time.So he further showed his weakness, and even gave up the city of Hubia at the expense of his troops. This kind of courage is unparalleled.At this time, Jia Wuwo Yi'an already thought that the Aserai army who had fled into the wilderness was about to be defeated by him, and he did not need the help of Ni Hai cavalry from Jiuling'er.

The Aserai army's abandonment of large and small cities and villages in the Lazih area step by step also hinted at Jiuling'er and Jiawuwoyi'an that the Aserai army's strength has been greatly reduced and its defeat is imminent.As a result, Jiuling'er asked to divide his troops to take back the whole territory of Razih, but Jiawuwoyi'an actually agreed.As a result, Ni Hai's iron cavalry, which was the greatest threat to the Aserai army, was divided into three parts, and even dispersed to start suppressing the bandits, completely losing the possibility of concentrating on attacking the Aserai army. possibility of timely rescue.At this time, the 5000 troops led by the city magistrate of Gasila, Dai Merok Fenrir, were probably restrained by the Aserai Army.

Jiu Ling'er stared blankly at the map, helpless.Jiu Ling'er once reminded Governor Jiawuwo Ngee'an to pay attention to Sukelu's movements. Sukelu, like Adram, has outstanding strategies and is good at using troops.But because Jiawu Woyi'an is his superior, and the official is much older than him, it is difficult to speak directly.He actually wanted to tell him that it was best to transfer his Ni Hai cavalry to attack the Aserai army on the frontal battlefield.The joint attack of the two armies is more certain to annihilate the Aserai army, and they are not afraid of any tricks played by the Aserai army.But at that time, he had just easily captured the city of Lazihe, and he had already made great contributions. It seemed too much to go to grab the merits again.So Jia Wuwo Yi'an naturally rejected Jiuling'er Ni Hai's request to join the battle.The result was a mess. Now if Jawuwo Ngee'an's troops were wiped out by the Aserai army, Dai Merok Fenrir would be the next target to be attacked by the Aserai army.Fenrir's army was wiped out, and the Aserai army could immediately drive straight in and re-enter Eyakis and Garcira.And since Hubia's main force in Jawuwo Ngee'an was encircled and wiped out, it was basically equivalent to returning to the hands of the Aserai army.At that time, it will be very difficult to defeat the Aserai army, which is very familiar with the terrain, in a place as large as Ajit.

At the same time, it is completely impossible for Ajit to gather more than [-] troops to attack the Aserai army in a short period of time.As soon as Adram made a move, the battle situation in Ajit immediately reversed.The disastrous defeat of the army is a foregone conclusion.

Jiu Ling'er felt extremely regretful.At this time, what kind of small town is still greedy for merit?While the main force of the Aserai army is still there, there should be no blind division of troops at all, otherwise there is still room for recovery from today's tragedy.

The more Jiu Ling'er thought about it, the more furious she became, and her anger surged up.

"Immediately order Huo Chayun, Xiao Yiying, and Xiao Yifu's troops to lead the troops to meet up as quickly as possible."

"Blow the horn, immediately assemble the troops and prepare to go."

============
Salt Mine, this is an exhausted salt mine in the desert of death.As the sky gradually darkened, the still hot wind was beating the huge governor's banner, making piercing howls.

Under the hill, the camps of the Aserai Army were densely packed, stretching to the horizon.Countless torches were lit slowly, and they swayed in the wind, like coquettish gems inlaid on light silk and satin, showing a breathtaking light, imprinting the chilling aura of the battlefield.

Jia Wu Wo Yi'an is over 50 years old, with white hair and beard.At this time, he was standing under the banner on the sand dunes, looking at the Aserai military camp in the distance, with a smile on his face and a calm expression on his face.

Last year, he was the mayor of Sanara.The Aserai army broke out in his jurisdiction, and its momentum was so great that no one could stop it.He barely survived for a few days, then fled to sea.Later, General Galius led his troops to arrive, and he took the remaining officers and soldiers to participate in the suppression of the Aserai Army.

"I don't know if Jiongdan saw the Governor of Jiuling'er?" Kevin Long, who was standing behind him, said worriedly.

"Do you think that Jiu Ling'er will come to the rescue day and night?" Jia Wuwo Yi'an asked suspiciously.

"It will definitely come, as long as we can guard for another seven days." Kevin Long said firmly.

Jia Wuwo Yi'an sighed, obviously not confident.

"My lord will know him when he sees him. He is definitely a man. A good man," Kevin Long said without doubt.

"Oh. A good guy?"

Jia Wuwo Yi'an turned to face him, and asked in amazement: "Since you came back from Doka City, you have never made any comments on him, and I heard that you scolded him severely. Why did you suddenly come back today? Does that speak so highly of him?"

Kevin Long smiled wryly, and said: "Although he comes from a humble background and looks like a barbarian, he is not a barbarian. His martial arts and talents are very admirable. I was really wrong when I pointed at him that day. I thought He is as greedy and cunning as those Kumans, he took the opportunity to blackmail us, and then enriched himself, who knows that he actually distributed all the military pay to the soldiers. I will explain to him when I have a chance."

"So you trust him now?"

"Yes. He treats the barbarian soldiers just like he treats his brothers. From another perspective, he has a big heart. Generally, people with a big heart are loyal people. So I trust him." Kai Wen Long said seriously.

Jia Wuwo Yi'an laughed, patted him on the shoulder affectionately and said, "Hahaha! Brother Kevin, you are also a loyal and upright person, otherwise you wouldn't offend many people. Look, can we stand guard for another seven days? "

Kevin Long shook his head.

Jia Wuwo Yi'an laughed loudly, "Okay. This time, the old man also has a taste of the blood-stained battlefield."

============
Adram's hair has turned gray again.He sat in the big tent with no expression on his stern face.

"Tomorrow, we will launch the last strong attack and kill Jiawuwoyi'an at all costs." Su Kelu was squatting on the ground looking at the map.

He stood up slowly, looked at Adram's murderous face, and said softly: "The scouts report, the Ni Hai cavalry of Jiuling'er has heard the news and has moved towards us. We should draw 3 horses to stop it."

"Prince, we are indeed not sure of defeating Ni Hai's iron cavalry when we face each other on the plain, but we should be sure of ambushing him. He only has 4000 people now." In the big tent, there is a medium-sized man with a scorched complexion and a mighty expression. young man said loudly.

He is Guzid, a fierce general in the Aserai army.

"Huzi, don't underestimate the enemy." Tulule, who was sitting next to him, pushed him and whispered, "Listen to the prince, don't bluff."

The middle-aged man sitting on the other side of Tulule was Taras.Before Taras joined Aserai, his family was a rich man with thousands of hectares of fertile land.He himself is also very talented, but because of his bad background, he is looked down upon everywhere.He lamented the injustice of the world, joined Wenjid's cause, and became the leader of one party at the level of Ruemir.He doesn't know martial arts, but he has money, and he can buy people with money.

Twirling his short beard, Taras said slowly: "Although we have 15 people and the enemy only has 5000, the officers and soldiers' battlefield capabilities and equipment are far superior to ours. After four days of fierce fighting, the troops have already 5 casualties. According to the prince's plan, if he wants to wipe out the enemy army tomorrow, all of the 10 people must be invested. If 3 people are dispatched to stop Jiuling'er's cavalry, not only will there be insufficient troops on the main battlefield, but also I am worried that even if the Jiuling'er army is blocked, under the full attack of Jiuling'er's urgent rescue, the 3 people may not be left. This seems to be contrary to our purpose of launching this battle. The casualties of the troops are too large, and the It will affect the next battle."

Adram immediately agreed and said: "Well, what you said is very reasonable. Then we will ignore him. We will concentrate all our forces and go all out to wipe out Jawu Woyi'an cleanly and thoroughly. Jiuling'er's reinforcements We have been rushing all the way, and it will be tomorrow night at the earliest. By that time, there will be nothing but dead bodies on the death sand. Our goal has been achieved, why should we entangle with his cavalry and lose our troops in vain. "

Su Kelu hesitated for a moment and asked, "No blocking?"

Adram nodded affirmatively, and said loudly, "No blocking."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Su Keru's eyes.

"Su Kelu, you have to eat food one bite at a time, and the enemies have to be eliminated one by one. There is no need to worry. We have seen Jiuling'er's cavalry. When we confronted him on the plain, our casualties were too great. We really can't fight to consume them." He. But in the hills and deserts of Hubia and Eyakis, he is a sick wolf cub." Adram said slowly, "This time we will attack Jawuwoyi'an first. .After beating Jiawu Woyi An, the rest is him.”

Su Kelu smiled, "I know, I'm just a little unconvinced. Why is his luck so good every time? This time his reinforcements came all the way. The soldiers were extremely tired, and there were only 4000 soldiers at most. It is a pity that such a good opportunity was passed up.”

Adram smiled coldly, "No one's luck will always be so good."

====================
The clouds in the sky are extremely thin, and the sun is like a huge disc, baking the earth.There was hardly any wind, and the Imperial battle flag hung limply from its tall pole.

The sparse coconut trees on the salt mine were cut down by the soldiers, and the entire bare hill was piled up with corpses.The several obstacles of the officers and soldiers were successfully broken through by Aserai soldiers. Forced to do so, they had no choice but to temporarily pile up the corpses of their comrades-in-arms and use them as shields.After nearly a day of bloody battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the battlefield was littered with corpses, making it a mess.

There are now less than 3000 soldiers of the Karad officer army left, and they were squeezed onto two small hills by the Aserai army.On the left is the location of the Chinese army, and on the right is the accumulation of luggage.

The war drums sounded again, and the sound shook the sky.

"Kill...kill..." The soldiers of the Aserai army uttered an earth-shattering roar. They held up their weapons and rushed towards the mountain crazily from all directions.For a time, the sound of killing shook the sky.

Jia Wuwoyi sat quietly under the governor's banner, looking at the fierce fighting battlefield in front of him, his heart stilled.In the past two years, he led the troops and killed countless Aserai soldiers. Today it was the turn of the Aserai soldiers to kill him. He thought it was normal.He never imagined that he could die.Think back to the time when Galius and his soldiers slaughtered Aserai soldiers wantonly on the battlefield of Guyaz.At that time, he thought that he would have such a day after all.On the battlefield, what's the difference between killing and being killed?

Guzid and Tulule personally brought their personal guards and killed them.Captain Shaka let out a roar, and pierced the enemy's heart with his long spear. Before he could draw out his long spear, Guzed's saber slashed fiercely at his head.Shaka abandoned his gun and retreated, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and stabbed into the body of the enemy soldier who was rushing forward.Tulule had aimed at him a long time ago, and suddenly surrounded him with three or four soldiers.Shaka was caught off guard and was hacked twice.Guzid kicked him up and kicked him into the air.

Seeing that Shangguan was injured by the enemy, the soldiers behind Shaka swarmed up, some fought hard to block the enemy, and the other two hurriedly dragged him to a safe place.

"Kill... kill..." Gu Qide held up his bloody saber and shouted at the soldiers behind him.Tulule's baby face was tense, and he lowered his head and slashed all the way.At first, the Aserai soldiers were able to step over the corpses of their comrades-in-arms, but now they didn't even have a place to step down. They could only step on the corpses of the dead soldiers from both the enemy and our side and push forward with difficulty to the top of the mountain.

Adram stood just below the hill.He saw that the attack of Tulule and Guzid's personal guards was blocked, and the advancing speed was getting slower and slower, and a murderous look flashed across his face.

Adram drew out his saber with a "shua...", looked back at the guards behind him, raised his saber violently, and roared out with all his strength: "For the sake of the dead brothers... kill... ah... ..."

"Kill..." More than 100 soldiers echoed in unison, and the roar accompanied by the rumbling drums resounded across the battlefield in an instant, and they rushed towards the mountain like a tide.

Shaka bandaged him briefly, then ran to Jiawuwo Yi'an, and shouted loudly, "My lord governor, I'll take you to the convoy opposite, where you can hold on for a while."

Jia Wuwo Yi'an smiled slightly, and asked calmly, "What's your name?"

"Xiaoguan Shaka is the captain of the second brigade under Po'an Talisman Urn. Let's go, Governor, it's too late." Shaka roared.

Jia Wuwo Yi'an looked him up.Shaka is tall and broad, about 20 years old, with a square face and a pair of heroic big eyes.Due to fighting day and night for the past few days, his body was covered with blood, and his armor was cut in many places. The few wounds were only roughly tied with cloth strips, and the blood was seeping out.

Shaka saw his soldiers retreating step by step, screaming one after another, being cut down by the Aserai army, and shouted anxiously: "My lord, let's go."

"That's Adram." Jawuwo Yi'an stood up suddenly, pointed to the front and shouted loudly.

Shaka followed his gestures.

20 meters away, Adram himself led a group of attendants, and he shot in like a sharp long arrow, invincible.On his left is Tulule, and on his right is Guzid, each with a group of personal soldiers, follow up bravely.The three teams formed a solid character-shaped attack formation and advanced rapidly.

Adram also saw Jawuwo Ngeean.Hatred suddenly exploded in his heart like a huge fire.

"Jiawuwoyi'an! Jiawuwoyi'an..." Adram no longer cared about life and death, he was like a crazy tiger, screaming and roaring with all his strength, and killed the past.

Jia Wuwo Yi'an looked at him coldly, with a sneer on his face.

Hearing the prince's shout, the Aserai soldiers were refreshed. They howled as if they had been stabbed by the enemy suddenly, opened their mouths like bloodthirsty beasts, and rushed forward.

With a roar, Shaka rushed forward first.Adram slashed down with a knife, but Shaka blocked it with the knife.Adram's knife was full of hatred and thunderous, how could Shaka be able to take it.Shaka suddenly felt as if he had been hit hard, his saber broke, his tiger's mouth burst open, and a mouthful of blood spewed out from his mouth.Adram took advantage of the opportunity and kicked him into the air, and fell heavily into the distance.

The dozen or so soldiers standing in front of Jiawuwoyi'an were immediately slaughtered by the wolf-like Aserai soldiers.Immediately, more officers and soldiers rushed over frantically, and more soldiers of the Aserai army rushed forward frantically, killing both sides bloody and bloody.

Kevin Long, who had been standing in the convoy directing the battle, yelled hoarsely. He directed the soldiers to quickly move the formation. He took all the soldiers and rushed out, all rushed out, and rushed to the place that had been captured by the Aserai army Occupied, the hill where the governor is.

Adram looked at Jawu Woyi'an, and suddenly laughed, the laughter was miserable and sad.

Jia Wuwo Yi'an looked at him with a smile on his face.To be able to die at the hands of one's opponent is not a joy in life.

Adram took the head with a knife.

Immediately, the soldiers behind rushed forward, cutting Jia Wuwo Yi'an's body into meat paste with all their knives.Behind Jia Wuwo Yi'an, the tall governor's banner crashed to the ground.Adram raised the knife in one hand, and held the bloody head of Jawuwo Yian in the other. With tears all over his face, he yelled at the sky, "Great Sultan...I have avenged you..."

====================
The next day, at dusk, Jiu Ling'er finally rushed to the salt mine in the death sand with four thousand cavalry.The Aserai army had already withdrawn.Jiu Ling'er didn't dare to stay for too long, and ordered the soldiers to disperse immediately, and looked around for the surviving wounded soldiers.

The entire death sand was filled with the corpses of soldiers from both sides, densely packed, innumerable.Countless weapons and battle flags were discarded at will on the bloody battlefield.Occasionally, a few war horses stood alone among the corpses, neighing lowly, and occasionally a few painful groans were heard, but it was impossible to know where they came from.The wind was getting stronger gradually, and the blowing yellow sand buried the battlefield step by step, and there was a faint whistling sound, like the wailing of the souls of the dead in battle.The unpleasant smell of blood and corpses permeated the sky over the entire death sand along with the murderous atmosphere.

It was not the first time for Jiu Ling'er to see a bloody battlefield, but it was still shocking that there were so many remains of soldiers and the horrific death conditions.He was cold all over, as if he had suddenly fallen into an ice cellar.Tong Zai's face was pale, his eyes were terrified at the battlefield in front of him, his lips were trembling constantly.Muzai looked timid, and carefully hid behind the battle flag.Nayantai was terrified, and followed Jiulinger every step of the way, holding tightly to the reins of the horse with both hands, as if he was afraid that he would be dragged off the horse by the dead man lying on the ground.Yu Oath, Heju, Esuer, Lu Feishui, Qiercha, Guerding and thousands of tribal soldiers were also shocked by the bloody battlefield in front of them, but after all, they had been on the battlefield for a long time and quickly recovered their minds.

Under the command of their respective officers, the soldiers yelled loudly and galloped past on horseback.The iron hooves trampled wantonly on the ground paved with corpses, not only splashing a puff of blood, but also bringing up broken limbs and arms one after another, adding to the horror and bloodiness of the battlefield.

Jiongdan yelled mournfully at the top of his voice, as if he was crazy.He ran to the Chinese army's position, crying, shouting, and kept turning corpses one after another, but none of the familiar faces he saw was alive, all of them were dead, all of them were dead.

"Is there any alive? Is there still alive?" Jiongdan raised his hands and cried hoarsely.

Jiu Ling'er looked back at So Laxin.Solasin looked up at the sky and was muttering to himself.

"Xiao Xin, about 7 to [-] people died on this death sand?" Jiu Ling'er asked softly.

Solasin looked at the battlefield in fear, and said with a wry smile: "There are about 10 people."

"There are so many?" Jiu Ling'er asked in disbelief.

"In the battle of the Salt Mine, Adram finally felt elated. Nearly 5 officers and soldiers were basically wiped out. This is a huge victory. I'm afraid the Aserai army will become more rampant from now on." Solasin said helplessly. .

"I don't know how the Governor is doing?" Jiu Ling'er sighed and said in a low voice.

"The enmity between the governor and them is as deep as sea, and I'm afraid they have been crushed by the Aserai army." Solasin said sadly, "It's ridiculous that we are still running around day and night, and we don't even want our old lives."

Suddenly, he thought of something, and whispered: "Cute, if the Aserai army is still entangled with the governor's army at this time, we will be eaten by the Aserai army immediately if we arrive exhausted." He gave Jiu Ling'er a bitter look, and continued: "Are you trying to kill us all? You have to know that these 4000 people are your real blood. Even if you don't become an official in the future , no troops, but these tribal warriors are still your loyal subordinates, they will only obey your orders alone. In the East, as long as you climb up and shout, they will immediately gather under your command and work hard for you. You put Are you crazy to send such subordinates to the enemy's sword?"

Jiu Ling'er glanced at him gratefully, forced a smile and said, "A brother is a brother."

So Laxin asked: "What did you think at that time? I asked you to rest twice in the middle, and you ignored me? In the eyes of others, you may win the reputation of being faithful by doing so, but in those of us In the eyes of old comrades in arms, are you a lunatic? If Fatis is still alive, he will definitely scold you."

When Jiu Ling'er heard Suo Laxin mention Fatis suddenly, her heart ached and she was speechless for a long time.

Seeing Jiu Ling'er's sad face, Suo Laxin knew that he had hurt Jiu Ling'er, so he resentfully stopped making a sound.

Jiu Ling'er pointed to the battlefield in front of her, and said slowly: "If I was the one surrounded by Adram, what would you do?"

Solasin was speechless.

"Although we don't know the governor, and his subordinates are not our friends, we are all fighting under the same flag, and we are all fighting for the Karad Empire. Save them, save our comrades, and our friends Is there any difference? This is morality, the morality of being a human being." Jiu Ling'er said seriously: "If I were in the death sand, let alone only 4000 people, even if there were only 100 people, I believe you would kill them without hesitation. come over."

So Laxin looked at Jiuling'er solemnly, and said softly, "I understand."

Tong Zai, who had been listening to their conversation, suddenly called out, "My lord, there are still some alive."

Jiu Ling'er and So Laxin turned their heads to look in surprise.Qi Ercha and several soldiers carried a person, surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers, and hurried over.Jiu Ling'er flew off the horse and strode to meet her.

Kevin Long was shot in the chest with an arrow, and was also slashed in the back, but he miraculously survived.

Seeing Jiu Ling'er's disheveled face, Kevin Long said with difficulty: "Master Warlord, you came so fast. It's a pity..."

"Do you know the whereabouts of the governor?" Jiu Ling'er asked loudly while checking Kevin Long's injuries.

"No." Qi Ercha said, "We searched carefully, and only a dozen people were still alive, including a captain. He was kicked with broken ribs and was unconscious all the time, so he escaped by luck."

Kevin Long looked at the bearded soldiers around him, feeling very uncomfortable.He had insulted them in front of Jiu Ling'er, but today they saved him from the dead.

"My lord, the arrow clusters on his body are very deep into the flesh, bleeding profusely. It is best to pull them out immediately. But the position of the long arrow is very close to the heart. If you force it out, I'm afraid..." Qi Ercha pointed at Kevin Long's chest Long Jian said to Jiu Ling'er worriedly.

"How about not pulling it out for a while?" Solasin said, "After the Aserai army won a big victory, they retreated in a hurry without even clearing the battlefield. It can be seen that they were exhausted and eager to rest the army. It has been a while now, if When they come back, we will be surrounded immediately. Let's retreat first."

Jiu Ling'er asked Qi'er Cha, "Aren't you going to pull it out for a while?"

Qiercha shook his head, "The wound is bleeding all the time, so it probably won't last long. If he leaves with us on horseback, bumping all the way, he will die soon."

Looking at Kevin Long covered in blood, Jiu Ling'er was speechless for a moment.

"My lord..." Solasin urged anxiously, "It's going to be dark."

"Order the troops to assemble and leave immediately." Jiu Ling'er said loudly: "Tell Lord Yushi, take the wounded and retreat overnight."

Jiu Ling'er turned around and shouted to Nayantai: "Light the torches. Let the guards stay and be careful."

The rapid and low sound of horn horns resounded across the battlefield.The cavalry soldiers scattered everywhere rode their horses and rushed to the battle flag, preparing to gather and leave.

Under the command of Guldin and Qiercha, the guards quickly formed a barrel-shaped defensive formation centered on the wildman battle flag.A dozen torches were lit.Solasin knew what Jiulinger was going to do.He knew Jiu Ling'er's temper, when they were scouts together in the past, he had this virtue.He would never leave a comrade in arms to escape alone.

Feather vowed to come galloping on horseback. "My lord, why don't you go?"

Jiu Ling'er pointed to Kevin Long who was lying on the ground and was dying, and said calmly, "When I dig out the arrowhead from his body, I will withdraw immediately."

Yu swore contemptuously glanced at Kevin Long, was very dissatisfied with Jiu Ling'er's actions, and said loudly: "He is just a madman with no one in his eyes, and his life alone is worth the lives of six hundred brothers in my guards Is it? All the soldiers in our guards are not blood-stained and have countless battles on the battlefield, isn’t it too much, my lord.”

Of course Jiu Ling'er knew the reason for his dissatisfaction, so she didn't care what he said at all.Jiu Ling'er waved to him, signaling him to leave as soon as possible.Yu Xi spat fiercely on the ground, and rode away.

"Master Overseer, please leave quickly, I can't do it anymore." Kevin Long said emotionally, "Thank you. I can't do it anymore."

Jiu Ling'er laughed: "My lord, don't worry, you will survive."

============
Xiao Yifu led the troops and rushed to the camp of Charab City first.Jiu Ling'er personally ran to pick him up outside the gate.

"Brother Yifu, why did you bring all the troops here. Does the Magistrate have any troops to guard Lazih City for him?" Jiu Ling'er saw that Le Haner, Fu Qier, and Tiza's troops all followed. asked worriedly.

"That Turiados was clever. I don't know what method he used to convince Wei Zai and Fan Yilier. Those two took five thousand captives to join him. Now Wei Zai and Fan Yilier They have all become military officers of the Lazih City Hall." Theo Yifu said with a smile, "Moe, do you have this ability?"

Jiu Ling'er was overjoyed when she heard the words, and said with admiration: "Master Magistrate is broad-minded and knowledgeable. Naturally, I can't compare with him. Like Lord Faron, he is dedicated to serving the people, and he is a rare good official. Wei Zha It is much better for Yi and Fan Yilier to follow him than to be a traitor."

Xio Yifu said in admiration: "The magistrate's move is really clever and admirable. He not only solved the problem of Razih's defense, but also solved the problem of handling the Aserai prisoners. The Serai army has set a precedent. It’s just that this move is extremely risky, and if it’s not done well, it will be a situation where everyone loses.”

Jiu Ling'er laughed and said: "Not everyone has the boldness of the magistrate. To do this, you must first win the trust of others, so that they will be convinced and follow. Others may not have the courage and courage to learn."

Xiao Yifu said with a smile: "Now that you and him have become friends for many years, it is natural to praise him. There is another happy thing to tell you."

"Is there anything to be happy about now?" Jiu Ling'er looked at Tiza, Le Haner and Fuqier who were standing beside her, all of them were expressionless, and asked strangely, "How do you look, it seems that you are not happy. Happy."

"Congratulations, my lord, you are already the Lord Overseer." Le Haner couldn't help but yelled loudly.

Jiu Ling'er was taken aback for a moment, but then she understood. He immediately asked Xiao Yifu, "Is there any news from the palace?"

"Yes. The Inspector felt that the court's rewards and punishments were improper, and he had written a letter a long time ago." Xio Yifu said, "The Inspector Yar Chiwen and the Mayor Wu Angru sent letters one after another, asking us to keep quiet as much as possible, so as not to provoke anger. The soldiers were shaken, and the morale of the army was shaken."

Jiu Ling'er looked at Xiao Yifu in puzzlement, and asked suspiciously, "Aren't all the officers and men rewarded?"

Finally, Tiza couldn't bear it anymore and cursed angrily: "Damn it, there is nothing else except changing your acting warlord to warlord. What the hell kind of world is this? We annihilated 18 enemies, 18 ah."

Fuqier also said very angrily: "Brothers are bleeding and sweating, and they don't even have any rewards. If it weren't for the warlord to send some military pay, I'm afraid everyone would have to eat loess." Fuqier once participated in night raids with Jiuling'er The battle at Chidori Ranch, last time he also participated in the blocking battle at Thorn Mountain.

"Forget it, although we didn't get any rewards this time, at least we got a little benefit by following the Lord Overseer, so let's regard it as a reward from the emperor." Xiao Yifu sighed and comforted him.

Tiza wanted to scold again, but seeing Xio Yifu's stern eyes, he had no choice but to swallow his words back.Xiao Yifu is the military affairs officer of the Inspector's Office. Although the official is not as big as Jiulinger, he represents the Inspector's Office. Moreover, Xiao Yifu is rigorous and steady, honest and loyal, and has always been respected by his colleagues. Tizha in front of him, Naturally, I dare not be too presumptuous.

Jiu Ling'er didn't care about this matter, he said indifferently: "Brother Yifu is right, the court doesn't reward me. Immediately promote Yushi to the commander of the regiment, what do you think?"

Tiza immediately turned his anger into joy, gave Jiu Ling'er a thumbs up, and praised loudly: "Okay. I told them on the way that the first person to be rewarded when my lord was promoted to the military governor must be Yu Shi .”

Jiu Ling'er immediately said again: "Everyone is promoted to a level."

Tiza immediately yelled: "You are crazy, where can we get money for military pay?"

"Yeah, do you have a solution?" Xio Yifu asked.

"Ajit's army is gone, and now we are relying on us to fight the battle of Ajit." Jiu Ling'er said strangely, "Who will not pay us for the army of Ajit?"

Everyone suddenly realized, and all of them were overjoyed.

============
As soon as Fenrir sent off Jiulinger's messenger, he received the news that the governor's entire army had been wiped out. Fenrir immediately gave up the city of Jameye without hesitation, and led his army back to the city of Gasila.The governor of Ajit, Jawuwo's ​​security forces, was annihilated, causing huge losses in soldiers.Now he has only 5000 people. It is impossible to defend the small city of Jameyer. It is better to defend the city of Gasila.The city of Gasila is tall and strong, and the large population in the city will naturally take advantage of it. Moreover, the surrounding mountains of Gasila are steep and well guarded.Fenrir ordered the Clippers to immediately go north to the palace, asking for reinforcements.At this time, only Ni Hai's iron cavalry of Jiuling'er was still able to fight in the Aijite area, and the rest had no soldiers to use.

After the Aserai army wiped out the main force of the official army in the death sand, their morale was greatly boosted.Under Adram's planning, they immediately prepared to seize the city of Gazila in one go.After receiving Adram's order, Ozan immediately led 10 horses to quickly capture Eyakis and obtain a large amount of supplies.The Aserai Army lost about 7 people in the Battle of the Death Sands. The troops of Taras, Camel King, and Sukru all suffered losses, but they quickly assembled at the request of Prince Adram Gathering 10 people, they drove towards Gaxila at high speed.

On the fourth day after the death sand battle, Su Kelu brought thirty entourages to the city of Hubia, and simply shouted twice, and the defenders in the city surrendered directly.

On the tenth day, the Aserai army gathered at the gate of Jameye. Under the command of Adram, 20 people captured the city of Jamaya in one morning.Then the troops immediately went north and began to attack the city of Gasila.

====================
Fenrir looks like a loyal elder, he never gets angry or scolds his subordinates, and treats others kindly.Although Fenrir is not a big official, he is good at financial management, more like a businessman. Over the past few decades, his family has a lot of money and thousands of hectares of fertile land.Just when he was happy to return to his hometown and enjoy a good old age, Aserai suddenly rebelled and shattered his dream.His wife, children and relatives who stayed at home were killed by the traitors, hundreds of mansions were burned by the traitors, fertile land was occupied by the traitors, and his property was robbed by the traitors. In the end, all he had left was hatred.In Guyaz, Tubilis, and Tasheba, he led his soldiers to follow Galius and slaughtered countless rebellious Aserai soldiers, but he did not relieve his hatred, and he still had hatred in his heart, extreme hatred.

The Poan urn of Garcila's Guardians was always by his side.Po'an Fuweng is an all-rounder in civil and military affairs. Although he is a bit scheming and keen on fame, he is warm-hearted and easy to make friends with.He is in his 30s, tall and strong, with thick bones, a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a beautiful black beard.

"This... hey!..." Fenrir said with a heavy heart, "The current situation is precarious."

"Your Excellency, you are too worried. Although the governor accidentally fell into the traitor's treacherous scheme and died for the country, there are still Ni Hai cavalry from Jiuling'er in the east, and Lord Faron's reinforcements in the west. Adram would like to take a bite." Swallowing Ajit is tantamount to daydreaming." Po'an Talisman Urn said loudly without any fear.

Fenrir glanced at the Poan Talisman and ignored him.

"Although Ni Hai's cavalry gave full support, he still didn't have time to rescue the governor. In the battle of the death sand, our entire army was wiped out. Adram is amazing, just like their Great Sultan Wenjid back then. Prestige, and he is also very good at using soldiers. Don’t look down on this kind of person. If you don’t pay attention, you will be killed by him. Now we don’t have many soldiers, and the main force is buried in the sand of death with the governor. There are no soldiers , why fight?" Fenrir said with a wry smile.

Po'an Talisman "hummed" in disbelief, but didn't say anything to refute.

"Do you think we can hold Garcia?" Fenrir asked.

"We only have 6000 people, which is indeed a little too small compared to the 20 people of the Aserai Army. But Gasila's unique geographical location is very conducive to our defense, and Lord Jiuling'er's iron will come in a blink of an eye, and will come soon , How long can Adram resist under internal and external attacks?"

"You mean that Lord Jiuling'er's 20 cavalry can defeat the [-] rebels in this city?" Fenrir laughed.

Po'an Talisman knew it was absolutely impossible, so he didn't speak.

"The sooner Ni Hai cavalry arrives, the faster the time to break the city." Fenrir pointed to the Aserai army camp below the city with flags fluttering, and said slowly, "Adram is using us as bait now, fishing Do you know that Jiu Ling'er is a big fish?"

The face of Po'an Talisman changed greatly, and he immediately understood the meaning of Fenrir's words.Fenrir turned to look at the Poan Talisman Urn, and asked with a smile: "Adram invested 18 troops in Hussenfuleg, and finally escaped alone. Do you know how he lost?"

"It was eaten by Lord Jiuling'er's cavalry bite by bite." Po'an Talisman replied.

Fenrir nodded, and continued: "This warlord Jiuling is like a hungry wolf or a hungry lion, circling around the big buffalo Adram, biting east and west, Slowly, the majestic bison was killed. Then, how can we kill the hungry wolf? It's very simple, dig a hole, lure the hungry wolf into the hole, and kill it with sticks. "

Fenrir stood on the tower with his hands behind his back, calm and composed.Po'an Talisman stood behind him worriedly, his face completely retracted into his clothes, and there was no trace of expression in sight.

============
Shaka was supported by Jiong Dan and Muzai from left to right, and walked into the tent of the Chinese army.In the big tent, Tong Zai is squatting on the side and sorting out various documents.Jiu Ling'er bent over and lay on the ground, looking at the map.

Shaka finally saw the world-famous Jiulinger.Sure enough, as the rumors said, he was tall and ferocious with disheveled hair, but he didn't look bloody and brutal, and felt that he was more like a bold and sturdy warrior.

Seeing them coming, Jiu Ling'er stood up quickly, and while saying hello, she helped to support Shaka's waist, and together with Jiong Dan and Muzai, she was ready to put him on the cowhide tape and lie down.Shaka was shocked, and repeatedly declined.Wouldn't it be impolite for a junior officer of his to lie in the tent of the Chinese army and talk to an overseer.

"Your ribs are injured and you need to lie down and rest. Don't feel rude, you are all people who lick blood with knives, take it easy." Jiu Linger said a little unhappy when she saw Shaka struggling endlessly.Shaka felt warm in his heart, and lay down quietly without saying a word.

"I heard from Jiongdan that you were injured by Adram's kick?" Jiu Ling'er asked with a smile.

Shaka blushed, looking a little embarrassed.

"The year before last in Corenia Fortress, I was the last remaining officer after the Great War, and I was the squadron leader. This year in the Death Sands, you are also the last remaining officer after the Great War, but you are the captain. From In this regard, our experience is very similar, so we can become good brothers." Jiu Ling'er stretched out her big hand towards him, and laughed loudly: "Come on, let's shake hands, and we will be brothers from now on."

Shaka was infected by Jiu Ling'er's arrogance, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold him together.

Jiongdan said with a smile on the side: "Brother Shaka, don't be embarrassed, you were kicked by Adram, that's a good thing, and it will be the capital of bragging in the future. I was also kicked by others, but that It’s not the capital of bragging.”

Tong Zai and Muzai immediately laughed when they heard this.Shaka looked at him puzzled.

"I was kicked out of the big tent by Lord Overseer, that's a shameful thing. Wow! You don't know, it flew so well... so far away!" Jiong Dan screamed strangely, dancing and dancing.

Tongzai and Muzai couldn't help being amused by Jiongdan's exaggerated performance, and kept laughing wildly.

Jiu Ling'er shook her head helplessly, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't mention it anymore, next time I have a chance to kick you and give you a long face, how about it?"

Jiongdan waved his hands again and again, looking at Tongzai, Muzai said loudly: "Then I haven't been beaten to death yet. The lion-headed Yi'anling here is tall and big. You didn't see it. Such a large baggage truck was lifted directly, which is too powerful."

"Brother Jidan, what are you, ours, do you want to leave here?" Tong Zai asked jokingly.

Jiongdan blushed immediately, and hurriedly said: "Slip of speech, slip of speech."

Jiu Ling'er said from the side: "The Governor has already been killed, and your troops have also been defeated. Now there are only a few of you left. I think you stay with me for the time being, and go back after the Aserai rebellion is put down."

Shaka and Jiongdan repeatedly agreed.

"When will Mr. Kevin Long leave?" Jiongdan asked.

"Tomorrow. His injuries have not healed. The conditions in the barracks are too poor, so he can only be sent to Sanara City for treatment by water." Jiu Ling'er said, "I invite you here today, I want to ask you Some of the situation around the city of Gasila."

"Has the Aserai army attacked the city of Gasila?" Shaka asked in surprise.

"Yes. We must rush to the rescue immediately."

====================
Kevin Long looked at Jiu Ling'er's haggard face due to staying up too late, and said emotionally: "Master Overseer, please pay attention to rest. The bandit army is so powerful that it cannot be calmed down overnight."

Jiu Ling'er sighed, and forced a smile, "Thank you for your concern, sir. It's just that the battle situation has turned and the city of Jiaxila has been besieged. If the crisis cannot be rescued in time, the lives of the people may become even more difficult."

Kevin Long looked at the desolate sand dunes outside the carriage, with a hint of grief on his pale face, "I think the Lord Overseer is still focusing on preserving his strength for the time being, and it is not suitable for a decisive battle with the rebels in the short term. Now the main force of Ajit is in the death sand. The entire mine was wiped out, and the governor died in battle, and our original plan to defeat the Aserai army before the end of the year has come to naught."

Jiu Ling'er asked slowly: "Does your lord have any suggestions?"

Kevin Long endured the pain, and said in a low voice: "If you are in a hurry to support, it will definitely be a bloody battle with the rebels, and the result will be heavy casualties. Adram's hasty attack on Gasila City probably means killing two birds with one stone. If you Adram is not in a hurry to support. The 20 people staying under the city of Gazila consume an astonishing amount of food every day. If the losses from the siege are added, it will be difficult to maintain his supplies.”

Jiu Ling'er also thought of attacking the Aserai army's supply transportation, but because of the unfamiliar terrain, it was difficult to capture the exact supply route of the Aserai army, so she had to give up.At this time, Kevin Long suddenly heard that there would be a food shortage in the Aserai Army, and he asked in surprise, "Why?"

"In the places controlled by the rebels, there are more than 100 million refugees alone. Adding 30 million soldiers and local people, there are nearly 200 million people. Adram simply does not have so much food to supply them. If soldiers are not fighting, their daily rations are about 900 grams. When they are on the battlefield, the soldiers’ ration supply will be doubled. This is the most basic minimum ration for a soldier to be able to go to the battlefield. But even if it is 900 grams, it is still At least it can barely support five or six ordinary refugees for a day." Kevin Long said weakly.

Probably talked too much and affected the wound.He groaned a few times in pain, struggled and continued: "Adram is the prince of the Aserai army. He is responsible for the soldiers who follow him and the people who support him. He must at least let those who follow him Live. Therefore, once Adram stays in Gasila for too long, the supplies seized by Yiakis are not enough to consume, and the food problem will immediately become prominent. At this time, he has only two ways to go. One is Withdraw the troops immediately, and the second is to break through the city of Jiaxila immediately before the sandstorm comes, and use the food in the city of Jiaxila to supply the troops.”

Kevin Long continued with difficulty: "In the entire Ajit area, the May wind blows every May, which is extremely destructive. It has been like this for hundreds of years! Everyone knows this. But more than ten years ago, the sky Significant phenomenon Every year from October to November, a large area of ​​flying sand weather also begins to appear. Although it is not as destructive as the May wind, it can still seriously affect the vision and flexibility of the troops. In the environment full of flying sand and rocks, Cavalry is even worse than infantry! Do you understand?"

When Jiu Ling'er heard this, she already understood it, and the distress that was smoldering in her heart disappeared immediately.He said happily, "I know, I know. Thank you so much, sir."

Kevin Long frowned in pain, gritted his teeth, and asked in a trembling voice: "Does your lord really understand?"

"I understand. Thank you Lord Kevin Long. When Ni Hai's iron cavalry is inconvenient, it will be an excellent opportunity for Adram to defeat me. He will definitely not give up! This is also the only chance to keep the city of Jiaxila!" Nine Linger said excitedly.

"One month, before the sandstorm comes, we must ensure that the city of Ghazila is not lost. If Adram no longer cares about you and only wants to take the city of Ghazila, then the city of Ghazila will be very dangerous. The city of Ghazila The surrounding mountains are steep, and it would have been difficult for the rebels to break in as long as they guarded the outer few passes, but there are only 6000 people in Gasila. Now that the governor's army has been wiped out and morale is low, under the fierce attack of 20 rebels, I want to Hold on, it's almost impossible."

"Within this month, there will definitely be a sandstorm. It has been like this for more than ten years. At that time, it will be Adram who will suffer. This is his opportunity, and it is also your opportunity. You must seize it and don't rush it. "

Jiu Ling'er laughed, "My lord, it would be great if you weren't injured. With your ability, you can completely command us to defeat Adram."

Kevin Long's forehead began to sweat, he tried his best to support, and continued: "Last year, the governor of Ajit, Lord Galius, asked the queen to exempt the people of Ajit from taxes for a year to help the victims, so Until now, Ajit’s financial situation can barely protect itself. After I arrived in Sanara this time, I tried my best to persuade other officials in the Governor’s Office of Ajit to prepare enough military pay and supplies for you. You are on the front line, don’t Make a note of this, and I will help you with it.”

Kevin Long stretched out his hand from the carriage and waved at Jiu Ling'er twice, forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty is taking my leave."

Jiu Ling'er hurriedly took a step forward, held Kevin Long's trembling hand tightly, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your help to Ni Hai's cavalry. Good journey, sir, take care."

Kevin Long shook his hand vigorously, and said sincerely, "Thank you, thank you for saving my life."

Jiu Ling'er stood silently, letting her long hair flow freely, watching the carriage gradually disappearing from sight without moving.

The so-called aristocratic elites are not afraid of power and temptation, and are unwilling to fall into the vulgar.Thinking of Kevin Long's words, Jiu Ling'er couldn't help but secretly sighed.The huge influence of the complex nobles has a decisive force in Karad, and many learned and influential people are all born in the nobles.They have royal family members, official families, and rich merchant families, each of which controls the power and wealth of Karad.All the noble children are busy all day long in order to survive better.But if Callard suddenly lost them, he would immediately collapse completely.If there were no Faron in Eastland and Turiados in Razih, even more people would have died.Even if the Aserai army wins, can the world be governed easily with the knowledgeable leaders of the Aserai army?Most of their subordinates are illiterate common people or even slaves. They don't understand anything. Can they help the common people to eat their stomachs?Why can't the thousands of untouchables in the world go to school, become scholars, and become officials?How can the common people, like the nobles, be fed, clothed, educated and become officials?

"My lord, the reinforcements of the Black Feather King of Mount Tanon have arrived."

Startled, Jiu Ling'er suddenly turned her head to look at So Laxin, and asked loudly, "What did you say?"

"The Black Feather King's reinforcements from Mount Tanong have arrived. This time, the Black Feather King has given you face and sent 2000 people here." Solasin said with a smile, "Heju and Lu Feishui have already gone to pick them up."

It was Kurava, the youngest son of the Black Feather King Le Anle Leou, who came all the way with reinforcements.The tribal cavalry in Ni Hai's iron cavalry suddenly increased to about 1.This not only made the tribal soldiers feel a little unbelievable, but even the ordinary soldiers and officers of Karad felt the pressure, the pressure of fear.

Jiu Ling'er was very happy, and immediately ordered Kurava's troops to be merged into the Khazar Guards. Kurava was the commander of the regiment, Heju was the deputy, and Guerdin and Qiercha were the captains.Nayantai returned to Yusao's army to replace Heju as the joint captain.Since Xio Yifu's soldiers are all Karad infantry, Jiu Ling'er specially arranged for Muzai and Jiongdan to serve as the joint captain and brigade captain under Xi Ao Yifu, and reorganized the original three brigades into five brigades, each with 600 troops. people.Because Shaka needed to recuperate from his injuries, Jiulinger temporarily placed him under Tiza, and then the guards moved together.

On the second day, Jiu Ling'er led his troops to set off and rushed towards Jiaxila with a large force.

====================
Outside Garcia.Aserai army siege camp.

The scout captain rushed into Adram's big tent like flying.

"Prince, Ni Hai cavalry is dispatched."

Adram was lying on the desk writing paperwork. Hearing this, he looked up at one of the scouts and asked unhurriedly, "All dispatched."

"Return to the prince, their camp has been withdrawn. The former army's Xiao Yiying Department moved very quickly and has arrived at the small town of Jameye."

Adram waved his hand, and the scout retreated quickly.

Adram leaned over to pick up the map, looked at it carefully, and muttered to himself, "I thought you weren't coming."

Immediately he shouted: "Order the ministries to attack the city at noon."

The Aserai Army's 20 troops were divided into four parts, and the city of Gasila was completely surrounded.Adram personally led the battalion stationed at the east gate.The Sukru department is at the south gate.The forces of Taras and the Camel King are at the north gate.Aozan was the first to arrive, and he made a detour and stationed at the west gate.Adram had expected that it would take some effort to get to the city of Gasila, so he asked Ozan to go first to clear the defenders at the surrounding checkpoints.

Ozan had placed countless eyeliners and internal agents around Gasila very early on. The defenders at each checkpoint were caught off guard and soon lost all the checkpoints. Fenrir, the governor of Gasila, saw that the Aserai army was in dire straits, so he had to order all of them to return to defense. The city of Jiaxila relied on its tall walls to resist the attack of the Aserai army.Now the Aserai army has besieged the city of Gaxila for three days, but has yet to launch an attack.

Camel King is over 50 years old, with a thin body and gray beard and hair.Generally speaking, the older a person is, the less desire should be, but the Camel King is not. He hopes that he can revive the family and fully lead the Aserai army.The Camel King's real name is Tais, the patriarch of the Gilles family. He is called the Camel King because he has been riding a camel to pass on the preaching.Like Great Sultan Wenjid, he had traveled around the world for many years, and his reputation in the Aserai army was second only to Adram.

The Gilad family and the Adram Saran family of Tayes, and the Huleyan family of the Great Sultan of Wenjid.All three families are direct descendants of Aserra, the legendary hero of Aserai.The Aserai are the inhabitants of the Nahasa desert, a mixture of nomadic Bedouins and oasis farmers, and the Karad people who have gradually migrated here since the imperial rule (the Karad people mostly settled in the Brazos Sea along the coast).The Aserai are known for their horsemanship and knowledge (especially medicine) gained from some of the most lucrative trade routes across the continent.Each family is proud of its own bloodlines and despises each other. Most of the Aserai settled in the coastal and desert oases of the Brazos Sea. They are divided into dozens of tribes and sub-tribes. Each tribe has a detailed genealogy. They are collectively known as Banu Assela or Aserai, named after the legendary patriarch Asera, whom they all regard as their ancestors. (Salute to the God of Post Bar: I just want to see the abc boss.)
The empire was basically unwilling to send too many legions to the Nahasa wasteland where there was no return before Charedine the Great. Instead, it projected its influence to this border area by supporting agents in various tribes, allowing them to Dance in the endless power struggle.Such rule made it easy for the tribes that could control the oasis to obtain imperial funding, protect passing caravans, and get rich as a result.Those who could not control the oasis were driven into the desert, living by herding sheep and robbing passing caravans, until they could make a comeback. The Saran family is a living example.The Aserai have long lived under the rule of a designated sultan of the empire, usually chosen from the wealthiest family, the Banu Hulayan.During the reign of the talented and generous Emperor Charidin, he quickly strengthened the management of the Aserai region and assigned a large number of Karad officials to directly manage some important areas. However, the Aserai people knew that the dance of power was only a temporary suspension. Ripe and it will start again.

Wen Jide is one of the best. He is unwilling to be reconciled to the corrupt and cruel rule of the empire. He sympathizes with the suffering people. He spreads his wealth to preach and spread his almost perfect concept of governing the country, pursuing the establishment of a pure and fair society. A just world, to establish a happy country that is completely self-directed by the Aserai, he has almost achieved great success, the Aserai's large and small families, tribes, and Karad civilians carry the Great Sultan of Wenjid Their dreams set off a mighty rebellion against the rule of the Karad Empire.
