Xu Youchang and Huo Liya rushed back to the city guard house of Metasequoia City without stopping, and were just watching Li Jiangyao talking to Samor and Yudura in the inner hall. Xie Tanzhi, Situ Wushou, Du Jian and Ma Mu were sitting next to him and listening carefully.

Seeing that they were coming, Li Jiangyao waved and said, "Just wait for you two. There are new changes in the enemy situation at present. We must be prepared quickly and face the fierce battle at any time!"

Hearing this, Princess Nanhua Huo Liya not only did not look at all afraid, but instead smiled with a little excitement: "I've been ready for a long time. How about it? Are you going to take action with them this time?"

After greeting everyone here, Xu Youchang said to Li Jiangyao: "The enemy facing our First Army has indeed accelerated its speed in the past few days, not as he was as he had been a bit silly as he had done in the past few days."

Li Jiangyao nodded slightly and then explained: "The Intelligence Department received news that the Turkic Durham organized a supervisory team, and in the name of slow action, cut off the head of the King of Qule Kingdom to warn the monkey. Therefore, the three enemy troops at present have changed their previous slow approach and quickly pressed towards us."

"King Qule? Is it the guy who just succeeded to the throne the previous year?" Huo Liya was puzzled: "I have met him several times. He is a very funny and cute person. How could he be cut off by the Turks?"

Seeing that she asked about this, Yudura patiently told the whole story to the two of them. Xu Youchang and Huo Liya couldn't help but frown.

After Yudura finished speaking, Li Jiangyao continued to analyze: "From this time, the Turks are really anxious. No matter what adverse reactions their actions will cause within the enemy, what we must do now is to start taking the initiative according to the second plan agreed before."

Xu Youchang nodded: "Your Majesty is right. The enemy is currently advancing in three ways to force us to divide our troops to block and fall into a dilemma of losing one or the other. As for us, we should concentrate our strength and clench our fists. No matter whether it is divided into three or five ways, I will only go all the way and defeat them one by one!"

Mamu also said: "Sir, during the period when the enemy was delaying, we have transferred all the people in Daban, Pai and Ikru and nearby towns to the rear. The movement of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness has been basically completed, and we can deal with them."

"So, which route should we choose first?" Du Jian, the commander-in-chief of the Second Army, was most concerned about this issue.

Li Jiangyao and Xie Tanzhi looked at each other and replied with a smile: "I have discussed it with Lao Xie specifically, and they all think that we should first attack the enemy's right side, Shule Army."

Xie Tanzhi further explained: "The reason why sir and I chose them is because Shule had never fought with our army before and was not familiar with our strength. However, through the information of Samor's father and Yudra, we have a deeper understanding of Shule's army. Now, their internal arrogant and underestimated enemy mentality is the most serious among the three armies, and their actions are the most impatient and reckless. Therefore, the adult decided to eat them first if you want to eat!"

Li Jiangyao smiled thiefly and said, "There is another key issue, that is, both Gerhan and Alikjiang are very clear about my combat style, so our plan may not work for them."

-

The right-wing army of the Western Xinjiang Alliance was led by Prince Tani of Shule, with a total force of 70,000. Most of them were heavily armored cavalry, from Shule and its many subordinate countries.

Because their territory is far from Metasequoia City, and there is also a sphere of influence between Che Chi and Loulan. Therefore, the king of Shule Kingdom, Tajik, was not particularly attentive to this war of confrontation. He sent his son to command the expedition, indicating that this was just to give face to the Turks and Alikjiang.

At the beginning, Prince Tani of Shule followed the instructions of his father and did not intend to be the first to be a leader. Instead, he followed the oral agreement reached between Shule and Li Jiangyao, responded to the matter and marched.

However, when Durham's command of a thousand Golden Armored Supervisor team brought King Qule's head to the right-road army, Tani changed his original idea.

Tani thought to himself, just look at the situation in front of him, anyway, there are Turkic people staring at him, and they can't even refuse. Sooner or later, they have to face Li Jiangyao's real swords and guns of the army. It would be better to be more happy and stave off Metasequoia City as soon as possible so that their children can take the opportunity to make a fortune.

Therefore, under the urging of the Turkic Supervisor, the Right Route Army exerted the advantage of high maneuverability of the cavalry and began to advance at full speed. It didn't take long to successfully break into the territory of the Metasequoia Army in the border and conquered the city. After only five or six days, the Right Route Army occupied three towns in succession, and the troops headed straight to Pai City.

The Marquis Durham was very satisfied with such a result and praised the heroic performance of the Shule army. He also specifically asked the Central Army and the Left Army to take Tani and others as examples to speed up the offensive rhythm.

After being inspired by the Turkic Deputy Marshal, Tani seemed even harder. He kept urging his men not to miss the little spoils in the small village and township, and seized the time to continue moving forward, striving to seize the important city of Pai, the army's army as soon as possible.

However, just when everything was going very well, Li Jiangyao brought his Metasequoia Legion in the Xinjiang region.

-

This time, Li Jiangyao personally took the battle and commanded the Third Army of the Metasequoia Legion to block the 70,000 troops of Tani head-on. The battlefield of the blocking was chosen in the Vilan Valley, twenty miles away from Pai City.

The soldiers and horses of both sides formed huge formations outside the Vilan Valley, and they were fighting together like a stitch of needles.

Looking down from a high altitude, Shule cavalry wearing purple battle robe and holding purple flags covered the sky. In terms of the number of people and momentum, they completely suppressed the army on the opposite side. The dense spears and long swords reflected the dazzling sunlight, and a chill of indescribable chill.

As expected, the Western Xinjiang Right Route Army, which had an absolute advantage, took the lead in launching a fierce attack. Countless light cavalry galloped and shot rounds of arrows into the camp of the Zhenjiang Army, while the heavy cavalry on both wings rushed forward, crazily testing the solidity of the Metasequoia defense line.

Both teams took out their skills at this time, and fought back and forth for three hours to deceive casualties. After a fierce battle, the Third Army, composed of infantry and cavalry, gradually showed a disadvantage in combat power. The Metasequoia soldiers could not resist the fierce offensive of the Shule cavalry and began to retreat continuously.

Although Tani was young, he was a general with rich combat experience in Shule Country. He keenly realized that Li Jiangyao on the opposite side had reached his limit and would inevitably collapse if he continued to fight. So Tani seized the opportunity and joined the reserve team without hesitation, hoping to crush the defense line of the Xinjiang Army in one fell swoop.

Sure enough, the sudden joining of the new force immediately boosted the morale of the soldiers and horses in the Western Xinjiang, and the Metasequoia was even more difficult to get hit. In a blink of an eye, the fronts collapsed one after another, and a large number of soldiers retreated one after another, fleeing back and seized the way.

Seeing the enemy defeated, why did Tani let go of this rare opportunity to wipe out the Third Army of Metasequoia and capture the leader Li Jiangyao alive? He hurriedly sent an order to let the cavalry let go of their horses and chase them quickly.

At this time, the deputy general beside him reminded that the direction of Li Jiangyao and the others fled was the Weilan River Valley not far away, and the terrain was dangerous, so don't fall into the ambush of each other.

Unexpectedly, Tani waved his hand indifferently: "The remnants of the Holy Tang Dynasty are only about tens of thousands of people, and they also need to divide their troops to guard Metasequoia and Daban City. Where can I have the spare energy to attack my ambush? Besides, the main forces of the 70,000 right-wing army are mostly cavalry. If Li Jiangyao wants to use infantry to block the retreat path of the river valley, it is simply a fool. Don't talk nonsense. If the enemy defeated soldiers flee back to Pai City, they will be defended by the danger. At that time, they will only pay a greater price to wipe out them completely! Pass my order and chase them quickly!"

In this way, the right-wing crusade army of the Western Xinjiang Alliance, under the urging of Tani, tightly bit the army in the Xinjiang region and rushed into the Weilan Valley.

As the deputy general and others said, the terrain of the Viland Valley is very dangerous. On both sides of the valley are towering cliffs, which are more than ten feet high. Between the two mountains, a tributary of the Manas River was originally slowly passing by, but later due to climate change, the river water gradually dried up, and now it has exposed its rugged riverbed. At the same time, the vegetation in the valley has also become thinner due to lack of water, and the terrain is rugged and uneven, which is very unfavorable for cavalry to gallop.

In many areas, cavalry still need to dismount and climb over on foot to pass.

Tani led the army into the valley and chased the third army closely. The more he walked forward, the more he felt uneasy. However, the right army was already in the middle of the valley at this time, and if he turned around and went back, he was really unwilling to accept it.

Tani secretly thought in his mind: as long as he persists for a while, the whole line of troops can successfully break out of the Vilan Valley and reach a flat terrain, and the defeated troops of the Third Army in the border are not far ahead. As long as he returns to the plain, Li Jiangyao's infantry legs will definitely not be able to escape the four legs of the Shule cavalry!

In this way, he was completely sure to kill them completely before the army in the Xinjiang region fled back to Pai City!

Such a rare fighter opportunity will probably never be a second time. As long as he rushes forward bravely and seizes this rare opportunity, he may become famous for his battle. By that time, Shule's popularity will definitely overshadow Loulan and become the real overlord of the Western Xinjiang Alliance!

Thinking of this, Tani no longer hesitated at all, continued to wield his sword, encouraged his subordinates to urge the horse to move forward and accelerate the pursuit.

But at this moment, the scout in charge of the way forward suddenly ran over in panic and reported with a pale face: "Your Highness, a city wall appears at the entrance of the valley ahead!"

Tani was confused when he heard this, and stared at the scout in disbelief: "What did you say just now? What appeared in the valley entrance?"

"The city wall, a solid city wall!"

The scout replied with a positive tone.
Chapter completed!
