Chapter 468 Fierce Battle
Chapter 473 The Fierce Battle

Let's talk about Nan Jiyun and Ge Shulige's department who were ordered to detour the territory of Dashi to attack the Dashi caravan and the powerful observation group.

The two left Khiva City with [-] troops on the left and one on the right, and sneaked into the territory of Dashi through the border areas on both sides of the Huoxun Kingdom, and covered and killed them at a rapid marching speed that was as fast as lightning.

When the Dashi army horse received the urgent report, the two armies had penetrated hundreds of miles into the Dashi territory, and gradually approached the Dashi army caravan and dignitaries group following behind the Dashi army horse.

The Dashi army is huge, and it is actually quite difficult for such a large army to turn around.

Fifteen days later, Nan Jiyun and Ge Shu Lige joined forces at a place called Hubad behind Dashi territory, preparing to launch a fierce attack on the Dashi caravan at night, and then quickly retreated with some Dashi merchants and dignitaries. In order not to be surrounded by the big food army that reacted, eat it in one bite.

In fact, at least half of the Dashi caravan with more than [-] people are family soldiers and armed servants. The merchants are very powerful in Dashi, and each of them supports a large number of family soldiers and servants.Not to mention those big food dignitaries, surrounded by groups of guards.

In other words, the emperor's judgment was slightly different: the merchant team in the rear was not a flock of sheep to be slaughtered, but a pack of hungry wolves, and it was not so easy to eat them in a short time.

Ge Shu Lige led the main force to lurk in the forest dozens of miles behind the camp of the big food merchant Jia.Nan Jiyun, on the other hand, led more than a thousand light cavalry, with their flags and drums silent, to approach and inquire about the situation.

Nan Jiyun led his soldiers in ambush on a soil slope, staring at the camp where the big food merchants gathered not far below.Because it is not a regular army, the camp is naturally scattered and lacks layout and order. Mostly a family occupies a place, sets up a tent, and guards it with their own soldiers.

To put it bluntly, this group of big food dignitaries and merchants came here to pick up bargains. As long as the big food army defeated the Chinese army, then they would follow the army into the Central Plains, grabbing what should be occupied.

Nan Jiyun watched silently, the afterglow of the setting sun gradually dissipating.

In the twilight, smoke and dust suddenly rose from the east end of the camp. Not long after, a group of sturdy food soldiers drove dozens of Han people in ragged clothes, shouting and entering the camp where merchants gathered.

The horsewhip exploded, and the whipped Han people staggered forward screaming in embarrassment, walking slowly, just a burst of whips.

Nan Jiyun frowned.

Why did his compatriots suddenly appear behind the big cannibal?Could it be a merchant traveling far away?
A soldier beside him suddenly exclaimed, "General, it's not good, that's the envoy sent by His Majesty to Dashi, former Governor of Liang Shi Huyanliang..."

Nan Jiyun was startled suddenly, grabbed the sergeant and said in a low voice, "Are you serious?"

"General, when His Majesty summoned Hu Yanliang and others to practice the banquet in Liangzhou, the younger one was the guard of the banquet. He had seen Hu Yanliang before. I must not be mistaken."

Nan Jiyun slowly let go of his hand, and his face immediately became extremely gloomy.

If it was an ordinary merchant, Nan Jiyun might still be able to keep silent.In order to fulfill the emperor's order, he must not lose the big because of small things.But the group of people in front of him were envoys of the imperial court. The envoys were bullied and insulted by the enemy country, which was related to the dignity of the country. As a Chinese general, how could he turn a blind eye.

After a while, Nan Jiyun gritted his teeth, and sent an order, "Quickly inform General Ge Shu that I will order him to lead all the troops and horses, and that I will attack the big cannibal camp after nightfall. Wolf, kill as many as you can!"

……

……

At night, the moon and stars are thin, and the autumn wind brings coolness.

Under the night, Nan Jiyun slowly raised the spear in his hand, and shouted, "Boys, follow me and rush forward, level the cannibal's camp, and rescue our envoys! Anyone who stands in the way, kill them!" No pardon!"

The [-] Chinese soldiers and horses roared like thunder, shouting all over the sky and rushing towards the camp where the big food merchants gathered. When the big food merchants reacted, countless rockets pierced the night sky, came overwhelmingly, and immediately exploded Landed, ignited a fire raging.

The flames soared into the sky, and the big ogre cried and howled.The Chinese cavalry rushed over like a tsunami, but immediately there were soldiers from the gathering place of the big food merchants who responded quickly to meet them.Ge Shu Lige led [-] people to fight the big cannibals in close combat, while Nan Jiyun led [-] shence troops to fire rockets and set fire to the big food granaries and tents.

After a night of fierce fighting, the [-] Chinese army rescued Hu Yanliang and other dozens of surviving envoys at the cost of more than a thousand casualties, captured hundreds of big food merchants and dignitaries, and quickly retreated in the direction of Huoxunguo.The original place was full of ruins and corpses.

Meng Bai, the head coach of the Dashi Army, received an urgent report and reported it to the country's Prime Minister Abel.Able was furious, and immediately ordered the [-] troops to turn back and chase after Nan Jiyun's sneak attack team. Unfortunately, at this time, Nan Jiyun had already left with his troops.

Whether it was the merchants or dignitaries who were killed or taken away, they were the number one figures in Dashi.So many people died after the army, even Able felt a little unbearable.

Abler was really angry.

He immediately ordered the army to advance lightly, striving to enter the city of Khiva as quickly as possible, destroy the Chinese emperor's army and horses, rescue the kidnapped merchants and dignitaries, and at the same time take revenge.

In the evening, the Dashi army rumbled into the ambush circle that Zhang Xuan had set up in advance like a huge chariot.

Guo Ziyi, who was commanding in the middle, was overjoyed and immediately ordered the soldiers to raise the Kongming lanterns.

The Kongming lanterns gradually rise above the night sky, and the stars are dotted, which is really beautiful.

Seeing this, Li Siye on the left immediately ordered the army to prepare for battle, while Lei Wanchun on the left gritted his teeth and ordered the sergeant to dig out the lead wire of the dryland mine wrapped in a bamboo tube and ignite the fuse.

In the wilderness at Lixu in front of the Dashi army, Zhang Xuan ordered Lei Wanchun to bury all the dry land mines carried by the army, there were nearly [-] mines.It is unrealistic to detonate these [-] dryland mines depending on the fuse. It can only cause chaos after individual explosions.

Dry land mines alone are not enough, there are also rockets and sky-shaking mines.This time, the emperor was determined to let the big cannibal taste the taste of firearms, and used all the firearms in stock.

In Guo Ziyi's opinion, this batch of firearms can be worth [-] soldiers and horses, and if they are really effective, they can at least destroy tens of thousands of soldiers.

The dry mines began to explode, causing the Dashi army horses to vibrate.At this moment, the Dashi army horse actually has no room to retreat, only to move forward.

Abu Le ordered Meng Bai to lead the army forward, trying to reach the city of Khiva before dawn.Then the army rushed over, and under the stampede of horseshoes, more land mines were trampled and exploded. The sound of explosions one after another shook the sky, and the flying flames and smoke covered the bright night.

The Dashi army and horses were in a mess, their formation was chaotic, they trampled on each other, and there were countless casualties.

"Let go!" Lei Wanchun swung the Modao down fiercely and chopped it on a tree.

On the Sky Shaking Thunder carts that had already been lined up in a line, the dark and dense Sky Shaking Thunder flew up like rain and fell into the chaotic army.The rumbling explosion sounded like thunder, and the Dashi army and horses couldn't figure out the situation at all. They saw divine thunder flying down from the sky and unknown explosives on the ground. There was no morale and morale in the army.

Lei Wanchun and Li Siye were about to take advantage of the chaos and rush over from both sides, but they saw a new round of sky lanterns rising from the direction of Khiva City.

This is the military order, which requires the two parties not to act rashly and retreat back to stand by.

This military order did not match with the pre-war meeting, but Lei Wanchun and Li Siye did not dare to disobey, hesitated for a long time, and led the army to retreat quietly, waiting for the changes.

This military order was changed temporarily, and it came from Tian Kexin's suggestion.

In fact, Tian Kexin didn't say much, but just smiled and said that the big cannibals were attacked by firearms and couldn't figure out the situation. It was also at night, they trampled on each other and became a mess.Instead of going forward to attack and kill, it is better to retreat temporarily and let the Dashi army mess up for a while.

With such a huge army, it will take time to quell the chaos.

Zhang Xuan felt that what Tian Kexin said was very reasonable, so he urgently ordered Guo Ziyi to release the Kongming lantern that conveyed the signal.

……

……

All night long, shouts and flames blazed from the place due west.It wasn't until dawn that there were signs of calming down.

On the tower of Khiva, Zhang Xuan waved a drumstick and beat the drum to send troops.

Under the city, Guo Ziyi personally led one hundred thousand main forces to rush forward, approaching the battlefield of the "infighting" of the Dashi army and horses.

Although the cannibal was in chaos overnight, the loss was not too great.Ai Bule and Meng Bai restrained the rebellious army, tapped the troops, and found that 6 or [-] people were killed or injured. Although the damage was heavy, it did not hurt the root of the army.

But after a whole night of tossing, the food soldiers were exhausted and haggard.At this moment, the sound of an army rushing from the left, right, and the front three directions suddenly came, and the flags and flags of the Chinese army were fluttering, rushing over the mountains and plains.

"Your Majesty has a decree, to capture and kill the Prime Minister of the Great Food Kingdom, Ebre, and make him a Marquis of ten thousand households!" There were shouts of killing and slogans like this everywhere, and the face of the Prime Minister of the Great Food Kingdom, Ebre, who was guarded by the army. Tieqing, he never expected that his majestic Dashi Guomin, who had bid for more than 20 brave and invincible Dashi army horses, would be bullied by dogs.

"God bless, Dashi is invincible!" Dashi's army and horses were not vegetarians, and after a moment of panic, they also divided their troops into three groups to meet them.

The six torrents of steel gradually collided together. This battle shook the heavens and the earth, making the heavens and the earth eclipsed.

From dawn to dusk, the stalemate continued.There were casualties on both sides, and the battle ended in a draw.

Guo Ziyi was sitting in the rear army, looking a little anxious.The fighting power of the Dashi army horse was beyond his imagination, and the difficulty of this battle made him unprepared.

For this sake, neither side can relax and retreat. If they retreat in defeat, the other side will take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill them, and they will definitely be defeated like a mountain.Now it depends on who can grit their teeth and persevere until the end, even if it depends on numbers, they must win this war.
