Li Jiqian refused the Lanzhou caravan's condition to hand over the goods and return the whole team, and asked them to put down their weapons and wait for the despair. In fact, all the soldiers, coachmen and merchants in the caravan were surrendered.

"Ph!" This is Xin Gu's answer to him.

After hearing the reply brought by the follower, Li Jiqian laughed instead of anger, raised his horse whip and pointed at the Lanzhou caravan that was surrounded by heavily siege, and proudly said to the head of the Latu tribe of Mandu, Als, "I originally wanted to recruit a few warriors, break the formation of the car tomorrow and use all these madmen as slaves."

In the distance, above the Lanzhou caravan formation, the flags were broken and the setting sun was as bloody. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, the tribal cavalry who were not good at night stopped archery attacks. The Lanzhou caravan, who had been hungry for most of the day, had the chance to take out the water bag from the cart, and put dry food and fill the belly of the meat. The injured soldiers in the daytime battle endured the pain and dug out the arrows, disinfected the wounds with strong liquor. The soldiers who were shot at the vital part were quietly lying under the cart, waiting for the god of death. Many injured wrenches in the caravan covered the wounds with their hands and kept moaning and wailing.

Looking at the camp of the tribal cavalry, the smoke rose from the camp, Xin Gu was chewing dried meat in his mouth, tightening the cloth strip that wrapped the arrow on his right shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow will be a tough battle. The prairie people's rushing and shooting are extremely horsepower. When he is tired, Captain Yu Fu, you will lead the cavalry to break through with the horse and lead the cavalry to break through first, and I will lead the infantry and the civilians to persist in the spot."

"No, the Captain Xin is the commander of our army, how can he fall into his trap..." Before Yu Fu Rengui finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xin Gu: "I am not discussing with you, this is a military order." His sharp eyes immediately made Yu Fu Rengui's words hold in his stomach. Looking at the raging bonfire raised by the soldiers in the camp, Xin Gu said: "I am the commander of the first army, how can I leave my post without permission? You should break through and report to the lord, the person who robbed my Lanzhou caravan was Dangxiang Li Jiqian." Seeing Yu Fu Rengui nodding, Xin Gu moved his throat and said nothing in the end. He closed his eyes and lay down.

The next morning, the sky was just white, and Li Jiqian urged the tribal cavalry to launch an attack. More than 3,000 tribal cavalry rested overnight and was vigorous. The carriages around the Lanzhou caravan were flying like flying. The horses suddenly came and went, sometimes far and near. The riders sometimes hid in the horse's belly without a trace. Sometimes people immediately bent their bows and arrows, aiming at the figures exposed in the gaps in the Lanzhou car formation. Usually, after a single arrow is released, the rider will quickly take the horse away without waiting for the Lanzhou archers to strike back. But if the Lanzhou sergeant shrank behind the cart and ignored them, the tribal knights will rush forward.

, trying to break through the chariot formation. On several occasions, the tribal cavalry approached the chariot formation, and even some horses jumped over the gap between the large chariots and were driven out by the infantry of the Yajun and Jinfan camp with spears. The number of archers who were shooting at the fire continued to increase, and Xin Gu had to temporarily use some of the cavalrymen of the White Feather Camp who were preparing to break out as archers. He hoped to consume the horsepower of the tribal cavalry. Didn’t Li Jiqian also hoped to consume the energy and morale of the Lanzhou Army? His iron kite sat on the ground to rest, and waited for the moment when the caravan guards collapsed, and then launched a fatal blow.

The sun gradually rose from the horizon in the east. After half a day of galloping, most of the horses of the tribal cavalry showed fatigue, and the rain of arrows shot was sparse. Xin Gu turned to Fu Ren's track: "The enemy is tired, please lead the cavalry to break through." Yu Fu Rengui had just started to complete the team. The more than 20 remaining soldiers in the Cavalry Camp became restless when they learned that Xin Gu was about to defend the spot. Centurion Feng Bo said louder: "Captain Xin is here, and my brothers from the Cavalry Camp will never leave!"

"Random!" Xin Gu looked out of the chariot vigilantly, and confirmed that there was no enemy nearby. He shouted loudly: "All cavalrymen followed the Fuzhao Captain to break through, and the military orders were like a mountain. If there were those who did not respect the military orders, I would immediately kill them." Seeing that the soldiers of the Cavalry Camp were suppressed, Xin Gu stood up and took his war horse and handed the reins to Kang Ketian, and apologized: "Brother Kang, I cannot protect the safety of the caravan. Please ride this good horse and see it.

Commander, give an order on behalf of Xin Gu." After saying that, regardless of whether Kang Ketian accepted it, he forced the reins of the horse into his hand, walked straight to a corner of the chariot formation, commanding the infantry to secretly move the large chariot and the antlers. Yu Furengui had already rectified the cavalry and waited for him. At this time, the tribal cavalry outside the chariot formation had already discovered the movement. Yu Furengui could not make any more conspiracy, so he clasped his fists and said, "Person Xin, take care of it." He led more than 200 cavalry to urge the horses to come out.

The opportunity to break through was noon. The cavalry of the grassland that had been killed on the periphery for half a day was sleepy, trapped in the crowd, caught off guard. Most of the grassland cavalry were just for money and had no intention of stopping the pursuit. They broke through the siege of Lanzhou cavalry, and the Dangxiang Tiehaozi, who had been sitting on the ground resting, couldn't catch up with him. With the more than 200 light cavalry surrounding him, Li Jiqian was furious. Unexpectedly, this small caravan also had a military strategy, and he was actually tired of the plan, but the cavalry broke through to him.

It is said that the pros and cons are mixed. Since the main force of the enemy has abandoned the brigade, not only the defensive chariot formation is even weaker, but the abandoned soldiers must be depressed. They just need to add another fire to easily break through the chariot formation. After pondering at this point, his expression became even colder. He called the leader of the cavalry of various tribes and said in a deep voice: "I can't bear to lose the warriors, Fang Mingyou shot exhausted the enemy. Now that the enemy has run away, I will recruit reinforcements. In order not to waste all my previous efforts, everyone will urge the warriors now. Before dark, they must break through the chariot formation."

The heads of each tribe thought that they would be let go of the caravan guards, and the young nobleman would be furious and were uneasy. Unexpectedly, he was so sensible that he knew the general situation and the strategy he ordered was very reasonable. At first, he felt guilty in his heart, but he heard Li Jixian say: "I am passing on the order that each part is three teams, taking turns to attack the chariot formation. Those who first broke into the caravan formation will reward a pair of iron armor, cut off a head of an enemy, and a piece of silk cloth." The grassland tribes used to plunder caravans mostly belonged to the head nobles, and the warriors had very little income. Li Jiqian passed on this order, and the knights of each tribe were overjoyed. Even if the heads were dissatisfied, they could only hide it in their hearts. No one dared to compete with the popular nobleman Dangxiang.

Almost a moment after the Lanzhou cavalry broke through, the siege of the chariot formation suddenly became nervous. Even the iron kite beside Li Jiqian got on his horse and followed the tribal cavalry crazily forward and rushed forward to the tribal cavalry. The tribal cavalry waved their sabers and spears, screaming in their mouths, as if they were rushing towards the chariot formation.

Sergeant Sun Yuqing held a crossbow, his teeth were fighting unconsciously, and his legs were trembling. He thought that there was a house in Lanzhou City and that he had ruled two households, so he envied the cavalry who broke through. Looking at the tribal cavalry who were rushing towards him with gritted teeth, Sun Yuqing's mind was blank. Suddenly, one hand slapped Sun Yuqing's shoulder heavily, which scared him to shake his whole body. When he looked back, it was Han Yu, the centurion of the military camp. He thought that his heart was timid and could not speak. Han Yu pointed at two hundred points with his finger.

The enemy cavalry outside the camp smiled at him, "Let it close and shoot again." After that, he squatted behind the big cart and patted the shoulders of the other soldiers. Next to a large cart behind Sun Yuqing, the commander of the Left Army, Xin Gu, the captain of the cavalry camp, also opened his bow and arrow at a cavalry. Seeing Sun Yuqing turning around, he nodded at him, put his thumb gently, and the bowstring sounded, and a cavalry in the distance covered his throat and fell off the horse. Seeing that the captain and the centurion were all there, Sun Yuqing felt relaxed, after all, he had not been abandoned yet. He pointed the mountain on the crossbow at the shaking figure on the horse's back with his heart.

Under the leadership of Xin Gu, Han Yu and other officers, the soldiers of Lanzhou used bows and arrows and spears to deal with the enemy cavalry that rushed forward one after another. The departure of more than 200 cavalry made the defensive force of the chariot formation stretched out. The tribal cavalry kept attacking from all sides and kept maintaining pressure on the thin defense line. In order to stop the enemy's offensive, the Lanzhou army could only keep pulling bows and firing arrows. Some archers were cut by the bowstring and bleeding, their arms were sore and weak, and they still gritted their teeth and persisted until they were cut down by the tribal cavalry that jumped up and never retreated.

The civilians in the rear were also organized by the soldiers. Three people were styling the crossbowmen in groups. The crossbowmen were killed, and the civilians fired the crossbow arrows at the enemy. From time to time, the cavalry of the tribe beat horses and jumped over the gaps in the chariot formation and drove away the Lanzhou soldiers and civilians who were fighting against the chariot. However, the soldiers who had already killed the red only stabbed with spears and chopped with horizontal knives. The civilians even stabbed the enemy with wooden sticks, and drove out the enemy who rushed in again and again. Xin Gu even organized dozens of spearmen from the chariot to launch a counterattack, stabbing a group of enemy cavalry in front of the chariot formation, greatly inspiring morale.

This fierce battle lasted from noon until dark, and the tribal cavalry retreated their troops and returned to the camp to rest. In the Lanzhou chariot formation, almost everyone was injured, and they were all exhausted and dispersed, sitting on the ground to breathe.

The red sun gradually fell down the horizon. The captain Xin Gu counted the number of people. Only 159 soldiers who could barely support the battle were left. The crossbow machine was all damaged and unusable. Looking at the gas bonfire of the tribe cavalry outside, the soldiers sat silently beside the fire, wiping the weapons and adjusting the bowstrings.

The infantry soldiers escorted the caravan this time were all elites selected by the Ya Army and Jinfan battalions. They had been through the battlefield for a long time and knew that tomorrow would be a death-death battle, but no one said something disheartening.

Sun Yuqing was slashed in the chest and lay in the car formation with many seriously injured soldiers. He endured the severe pain and did not moan. He was from Chuzhou. I don’t know when he heard his comrades beside him hum a song softly, "Fuck Wu Ge and was rusty armor, the car was stumbled, and the soldiers were caught in a short hand. The flags covered the sun and the enemy was like clouds, and the arrows fell and the soldiers competed for the first place." The voice was intermittent and weak. When Sun Yuqing went to a private school, he heard the teacher talk about it. At this moment,

Looking at the shining stars in the sky, Sun Yuqing seemed to have his soul floated to the sky with this familiar tone. Suddenly, the singing soldiers' voice was weak and almost no longer heard. Sun Yuqing continued to sing, "Ling Yucheng and rushing me to walk, left and right blades were injured." After these two sentences, several soldiers from Jiangnan sang together, "The haze was two wheels and four horses, and the jade was supported and the drums were sang. The sky fell, and the power was angry, and the killing was severe and abandoning the field."

Among the Lanzhou army, the Ya Army and Jinfan were the most soldiers in Jiangnan. The heroic and sad Chu Song together evoked the homesickness of many soldiers. Everyone said that they would fight to the death tomorrow, and became more and more passionate, and the singing went straight to the sky: "If you don't go in and out, you won't go back, the plain suddenly has a long road. With a long sword and a Qin bow, your head and body are separated, your heart will not be punished. Since you are brave and powerful, you will never be strong. Since you die, your spirit will be spiritual, and your soul will be resolute and a ghost hero!"
