Outside the south gate of Metasequoia City, in front of the Turkic camp.

The last 2,000-strong Iron Pigeon Army cavalry phalanx was slowly shrinking its ranks, preparing to return to the camp not far behind them.

After a whole night of turmoil, the Turkic warriors no longer had the energy to curse.

The only thing everyone wants to do now is to go back and fall asleep. The destruction of the city, the rewards for meritorious service, the money and the beautiful women are all unimportant. It is important to catch up on a good night's sleep.

Winter nights in the Ghost Desert of Western Xinjiang have always been called "purgatory".

The biting cold wind mixed with the ice and snow in the sky can easily blow through heavy armor, directly freeze the cotton-padded clothes, and then penetrate into the seams of skin, flesh and bones.

Looking at the entire eastern and western continents, I am afraid that only the hometown of the Blood Wolf Clan, the extremely cold and frozen land, can be compared with this place.

In this kind of bad weather, being exposed all night without any protection would be too much for even a person with the best physique.

What's more, the two thousand soldiers and horses in front of them were also responsible for the important task of preparing for the withdrawal of the entire military police, so that they lasted for half an hour longer than other brother troops. At this time, both physically and mentally, they were on the verge of breaking out.

On the verge of collapse.

The Turkic armies stationed outside the south gate entered the camp one after another, and the rearguard team was able to survive. Seeing that they were also ordered to go back to rest, the soldiers were all impatient, quickly turned their horses, and started in a hurry.

I don't care about guarding against the rear now.

The Turkic officer who commanded this team was also full of resentment at this moment. He secretly sighed that he was unlucky to be assigned to the post-interruption errand. Not only did he have to suffer the cold together, but he also had to listen to the complaints of his subordinates.

Originally, according to Turkic military regulations, it was not possible to completely relax at this time. The rearguard troops and horses must still maintain a complete formation and retreat on alert.

But he was too lazy to say anything now. Instead of carefully organizing the team, it was better to quickly let the brothers return to the warm tent and have a good rest.

In the final analysis, it was all the fault of the people from Shengtang across the street who made up the fuss all night and made no one safe.

The officer was full of resentment, and before leaving, he turned back and gave Metasequoia City a stern look.

However, just this unintentional look actually made the officer feel as if he had been struck by lightning. He suddenly seemed to be frozen in place, staring at the metasequoia in a daze.

Not far away, in Metasequoia South City, the gate was originally closed, but now it was opened at some point. A black cloud quickly poured out from the city, and the frost rolled towards him quickly, running faster and faster.

, getting closer and closer.

The officer raised his hand in disbelief and rubbed his sore eyes vigorously, intending to carefully confirm whether he was hallucinating due to exhaustion last night.

In the next second, the intensive sound of horse hooves sounded in the ears. The sound changed from a subtle and brisk rhythm at the beginning to a roar that made the earth tremble.

"Long live my emperor!"

The charge horn suddenly sounded, and the Shengtang Zhenjiang Protectorate arrived!

All the Turkic cavalry who were returning to the camp heard the movement and turned their heads quickly. Like their own officers, they were also stunned by the scene in front of them.

A group of murderous beast-faced knights broke through the morning mist and were rushing towards them at extremely fast speeds.

"Oh my God! Run quickly -" I don't know who exclaimed first, immediately reminding everyone. The Turks didn't think too much and immediately galloped towards the camp, whipping up their horses and whips.

In fact, at this time, the Pegasus scouts' iron cavalry had just begun to charge, and there were not many of them. If these Turkic cavalry responsible for breaking up the rear could muster up a little courage and put up some resistance on the spot, they could completely block them and give the people in the camp a chance to attack.

The main force buys time to counterattack.

But it is a pity that the Turkic warriors, who were already exhausted physically and mentally, were frightened by the violent murderous aura of the Pegasus scouts and were unwilling to stay for even a second.

There was only one thought in their minds: run, run, it would be safe if they ran into the camp!

Of course, there were some Turks among them who did not choose to escape. They hesitated and stopped where they were, waiting for the officer's order to fight or retreat. But at the next moment, these poor guys were stabbed with spears by the armored cavalry who rushed over.

He fell to the ground and was crushed into flesh in an instant.

With the personal demonstration of those unlucky men, the panicked people no longer had any scruples. They pushed and pushed each other and fled for their lives. Many people were pushed to the point of being overturned by their companions, and the area outside the Turkic camp fell into chaos.

In a matter of tens of seconds, the Pegasus scouts' heavy cavalry team overcame the Turkic defenders almost unscathed.

The scouts lowered their bodies, holding their spears flat in their hands. They roared their war cry and struck at them with lightning speed.

With a bang, a sharp knife that was burning red was slashed hard on the tofu.

The Turkic rear guard group collapsed in an instant. Thousands of people were stabbed and knocked into the air without any resistance, and died miserably on the spot. The remaining ones who were slightly more lucky hurriedly changed their escape direction and ran around the bend to other places.

The gate of the southern camp of the Turks was opened brightly in front of the Pegasus scouts.

Seeing this, the soldiers did not hesitate at all. They maintained a complete charging formation, chased after the skirmishers, and kicked directly into the camp.

The coalition forces that came to attack Metasequoia City this time included about 40,000 soldiers and horses. The commander's camp was set up outside the east gate of Metasequoia. The southern camp was guarded by Duolun's deputy general Padikun, while the north and west gates were guarded by ghosts.

The camp of the alliance horse bandits.

Li Jiangyao and the others attacked the southern camp where Padikun was located.

At this time, the Turkestan Camp was still immersed in the sound of snoring. It had been nearly half an hour since the entire army returned to the camp, and the tired soldiers had just fallen asleep.

Li Jiangyao led 400 of his men and rushed into the defenseless camp. They immediately dispersed and formed into multiple squads, setting fire everywhere and killing lone enemy soldiers.

In the blink of an eye, the entire southern district was in chaos.

Many Turkic warriors were awakened by the noise outside and came out wearing felt to take a look. However, before they had time to figure out what was going on, they were killed by the armored cavalry who rushed forward with a sword.

"The Shengtang people have broken into the camp, and the enemy troops are coming!" The frightened screams suddenly resounded through the sky, and thick smoke soon filled the entire camp. The panicked Turks saw the corpses and blood on the ground, and they were stunned.

I feel like I have fallen into hell.

Who would have expected that the weak Metasequoia defenders would dare to raid the Turkic camp with an absolute advantage in broad daylight?

This is so fucking crazy!

If someone paid attention at this time, it would not be difficult to find that Shengtang's armored cavalry did not just scatter and rush in randomly. Dozens of tactical squads were always following Li Jiangyao's bugle sound, sometimes gathering and sometimes dispersing.

Whenever they encounter a slight resistance from the Turkic army, each squad will immediately gather in one place, and the four hundred heavy cavalry will directly form a formation and crush them, smashing the opponent into pieces. After that, everyone will immediately

Disperse and continue to attack the fleeing enemy troops separately.

After a complete sweep of a camp, these people will gather around Li Jiangyao again and work together to rush to the next target.

Use the elite against the mediocre, focus against the decentralized. There is no need to compete, the winner has been decided.

-

Padikun was forcibly pulled out of bed by his own soldiers.

As the deputy general of the Turkic Iron Pigeon Army, he is not a resourceful commander like his superior Doron. On the contrary, killing bravely is this man's motto.

Last night, he was the one who most wanted to let go of the siege.

There are fireworks, drums, and the whole city turning off the lights. It's nothing more than scaring people. If you want to follow Uncle Padikun's idea, there is only one thing:

Play with your life!

Just fight and it's over, why are you talking about so much nonsense? The troops on hand are twenty times that of the opponent, are you still afraid that the Shengtang people will turn the world upside down?

However, he is not the commander-in-chief of the entire army after all. Master Duolun is famous for his caution in the Turkic Empire. Therefore, even though Padikun was 10,000 unhappy, he had no choice but to wait for a night of northwest wind blowing.

After that, he returned to the camp in despair and continued to sleep in his cage.

Unexpectedly, before the dream was over, there was chaos outside. Padikun was so angry that his head hurt. He couldn't even finish cursing the word "fuck" before he was forcibly dragged up by four soldiers.

He raised his foot and kicked one of them over, and asked angrily what was going on. The personal guard explained tremblingly, and then Padikun suddenly realized: Huh? We have been attacked by the opposite side?

Seeing that the general was still unconvinced, his subordinates raised their hands to open the curtain, and happened to see Li Jiangyao approaching with his cavalry.

General Padikun, who has always been famous for his bravery, ran out without saying a word when he saw this, got on his horse and fled.

This whole set of smooth movements, without any hesitation or delay, made the subordinates somewhat incompetent.

It wasn't until the Turkic soldiers guarding the Chinese army's tent were killed one after another by Li Jiangyao and others that everyone woke up from a dream and hurriedly chased Padikun and fled eastward.

The general abandoned the camp and left, causing the place to fall into a situation that would never be restored.

Although some Turkic warriors broke out in ferocity, they still resisted tenaciously even with their bare hands, which fully demonstrated the heroic spirit of the Golden Tribe men.

However, this kind of spirit is of no use in the face of iron spears and long knives.

After being bloodbathed by Pegasus scouts, most people made wiser choices.

Where there is life, there is hope.

In less than half an hour, Li Jiangyao led his troops to sweep through the southern Turkic camp, turning the entire camp upside down.

However, he did not give up when the situation was good. After the first taste of victory, he immediately ordered the rally to sound the horn, and then led everyone to continue to pursue the deserters, following closely behind the enemy towards the east camp.

At this time, the Turkic people in Dongying had already begun large-scale alert mobilization.

The reaction there was completely different from that in Nanying.

As soon as they arrived, Duolun's coach's camp was set up here, surrounded by the core elite of the Iron Pigeon Army, and its combat power was naturally stronger than that of the Southern Camp.

Secondly, since Li Jiangyao's first raid was in the south, Dongying had more time to react and would not panic like Padikun and others.

Although the Turkic troops have not yet been fully assembled, an organized defense system has taken shape.

More and more phalanxes are approaching the Pegasus scouts.

Li Jiangyao galloped on his horse, holding the Xingluo Dao high and shouting: "Brothers, the tough battle has just begun, victory or defeat depends on this!"

"I will follow you to the death!" The soldiers responded in unison after hearing the words. At the same time, they kept raising their horse speed and rushed towards the target ahead.

The heavy armored cavalry regiment composed of Pegasus scouts adjusted their formation while running at high speed, from the original charge formation to a wedge formation.

At the same time, Li Jiangyao inserted the Xingluo Knife behind his back, which was suitable for close combat. Instead, he held a spear in his right hand and a shield in his left hand, standing at the forefront of the wedge formation.

The cavalry wedge formation turned into a sharp knife in an instant, crossing the connection between the South Camp and the East Camp, and rushed forward wildly.

Li Jiangyao, who was rushing at the front of the team, concentrated his consciousness with all his strength. Everything around him slowed down instantly. Whether it was the flying arrows or the scimitars blocking the road, they all seemed extremely slow to him. He was like an angry dragon, urging his horse to gallop.

, whoever stands in his way is invincible.

Whenever he encountered a small group of Turkic troops, whether they were infantry or cavalry, Li Jiangyao would charge directly towards them and break out of the formation in a blink of an eye, leaving a lot of enemy corpses behind him.

If he encounters hundreds or even thousands of enemy troops, he will adjust his direction in advance, lead the dense heavy cavalry formation, and deftly take detours so that the enemy cannot even get close to them.

Since they were located in the center of the Turkic camp, surrounded by scurrying Turkic soldiers, the soldiers and horses responsible for intercepting them did not dare to fire arrows easily, lest they accidentally injure their own people.

The opponent could not let go and shoot, so they could only rely on close combat to stop them, which immediately gave Li Jiangyao and the others great convenience.

One side was flexible and carried out surprise attacks and destruction everywhere without any scruples, while the other side was arrogant and hastily stopped them. In the end, the whole situation turned into a large number of Turkic soldiers chasing behind a small group of Shengtang troops, everywhere in the camp.
Chapter completed!
