At this moment, the furious Loulan King Alike Jiang was constantly mobilizing his troops and sending out new troops under his command to join the fierce fighting on the front line. Facing the miscellaneous troops of Metasequoia, he lost troops and generals, and was unable to conquer for a long time.

The situation has caused the arrogant leader of the Western Frontier to gradually lose his mind.

To be honest, the Metasequoia gang was so difficult to fight that Alek Jiang even wondered for a while whether the Zhenjiang Protectorate who was defeated at Crescent Bay suddenly came back to life and came here to seek revenge.

At this time, Durham also sent a messenger to deliver a message, asking him to calm down immediately and face the battle before him with caution.

The deputy marshal of the Turks said that there might be Shengtang's regular army on the other side?

Alek Jiang's heart tightened: Damn it, judging from the current battle situation, this possibility is really high!

However, why did Shengtang's regular army appear in this ghostly place called Metasequoia City? Which of the opponent's legions do those Metasequoia warriors who clearly have the appearance of local Xijiang people belong to?

Alek Jiang no longer had the time to think about these issues, and quickly sent an order to stop the four infantry and cavalry phalanxes that were about to reinforce the battle, asking them to stay in place and not to act rashly.

"Your Highness, we can't fight like this anymore!" The Loulan elders standing beside them shouted: "If it is true as the Marquis of Durham said, and there are soldiers and horses from the Shengtang Protectorate on the opposite side, then what we are doing now

It’s just like committing suicide and seeking death! Look over there! People in Chechi are almost dying of laughter!”

Alik Jiang followed the direction of their fingers and looked towards the left side of the formation, and he was almost so angry that he vomited blood: Just as his sons were fighting with the Metasequoia Army in bloody battles, Geerhan and he were fighting for three whole days.

The army, thousands of cars late, is leisurely watching the excitement.

To be fair, this cannot actually be blamed on Che Chi's army. Alek Jiang had made a smart calculation early on: as the leader of the Western Xinjiang alliance, he always wanted to establish authority and overwhelm other allies. This time he came to attack

Metasequoia, although it was a hasty action decided on a temporary basis, after all, the Western Xinjiang Alliance dispatched 80,000 troops to conquer a small Metasequoia city, which was simply killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.

With such strength, let alone Metasequoia, within the scope of the entire Western Xinjiang Ghost Desert, it is more than enough to launch a war of national subjugation and annihilation against a foreign country. Moreover, this battle also involves a Turk like the Marquis of Durham.

The noble generals were watching the battle from behind. How could Alekjan not seize the opportunity and show off to his fullest?

The Loulan people had never fought against Li Jiangyao from Metasequoia City before, and of course they did not know the strength of the other party. Therefore, they took it for granted that with the strength of their numbers and the strength of their soldiers, they would be able to overwhelm the Metasequoia defenders in one fell swoop and seize the opportunity.

city.

In order to prevent Geerhan, who had tasted defeat at Metasequoia, from having a chance to make a comeback, Alek Jiang deliberately left the 30,000-car Chi army aside from the beginning, and only called on his Loulan troops to crush Metasequoia.

This "soft persimmon" later used his achievements in the main battle to gain Durham's favor and support him in occupying the strategically located Metasequoia City, thereby threatening Chechi Wangting at close range.

When the Loulan soldiers and horses and the Metasequoia garrison first clashed, Geerhan and his Chechi soldiers did have the mentality of watching the excitement and stood aside to watch the fight between tigers and tigers. Naturally, Geerhan also knew this very well.

, Alekjiang is a narrow-minded guy who is eager to seize the main offensive position just to show off in front of the Turks. He has no other choice but to accept this arrangement in frustration.

Deep down in his heart, although Geerhan knew that Li Jiangyao and the Metasequoia Army were difficult to deal with, that was only for defending the city. It was tantamount to directly driving out of the city to fight against the Western Xinjiang Allied Forces like now.

It was a waste of money for Alike Jiang, so he secretly sighed at the same time that he was unlucky, and could only watch helplessly as his great achievements were snatched away by the Loulan people.

However, as the battle continued, the intensity on the battlefield increased rapidly. Geerhan and Chechi's soldiers became more frightened and silent as they watched.

Before coming here, Geerhan's understanding of the armed forces of Metasequoia City was still limited to a few months ago. Although the power of the ghost-faced white-robed army was astonishing, even to the point of being abnormal, they were only a few hundred in size after all.

The rest of the soldiers and horses are all miscellaneous merchant group guards, and there is nothing to worry about in a head-on battle.

The failure to capture Metasequoia City in one fell swoop was, in Geerhan's opinion, mostly due to the interference of external factors such as the right time and location, as well as the subsequent outbreak of the Western Xinjiang War, which seriously affected Chechi's troops. As for the Metasequoia Army's role in city defense,

Gerhan didn't think his performance in the battle was too great, it was at least average.

But I never expected that in just a few months, the Metasequoia garrison in front of me would become so powerful!

Others don't know what level the Loulan soldiers and horses are in the entire Western Xinjiang Alliance, but Geerhan definitely doesn't know.

To evaluate it in the words of the Prince of the Turkic Temple: The Loulan Army is currently close to the level of the non-main force of the Turkic Empire. In some aspects, it is even stronger than the soldiers of the twenty-eight states of Shengtang.

Looking at the thirty-six countries in the Ghost Desert of Western Xinjiang, there are only one and a half countries that are qualified to challenge Alik Jiang's troops head-on. That one is the Shule Kingdom, and the remaining half is his Chechi Kingdom.

.

If Loulan hadn't bullied others too much before and severely damaged the Third Army in a sneak attack, Geerhan would never have been willing to break up with Alek Jiang now and break out into a direct war.

Looking back at the current battlefield, the Loulan people, who had the advantage in terms of strength, fought hard for two hours and achieved nothing except the death of thousands of soldiers and horses. Not to mention easily strangling the Metasequoia garrison on the plains, even the first

The defense line has not been able to be broken through until now, which is simply unbelievable.

The combat power shown by the Metasequoia Army seems to be far from reaching its limit. Or to put it simply, they actually fought with ease, as if they were deliberately wearing out the patience of the Loulan Army, clinging to it even if there was a chance.

Counterattack easily.

This calm demeanor and ability to control the battle situation are exactly like the main force of Shengtang!

Geerhan put away his heart of underestimating the enemy and couldn't help but secretly rejoiced: Fortunately, he didn't listen to the bad ideas of the Turks and the Western Xinjiang Alliance a few days ago and rashly came to attack the Metasequoia. Fortunately, today, the Alik River rushed in greedily and did not let them drive.

Chi Bingma went directly to take the lead.

Otherwise, if we sacrifice the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers just for this damn place, we will lose money and vomit blood.

However, Geerhan did not have time to rejoice for a long time. How could the wise leader of the Western Xinjiang Alliance, His Highness Alekjiang, let Che Chi Guo off easily after he hit the southern wall and suffered a bloody head?

Where is his old enemy?

"The leader of the alliance has given an order, and the 30,000-car Chi army will immediately go into battle and assist the Loulan soldiers in the front to completely defeat the metasequoia defenders! Your army must not delay unreasonably. Anyone who is afraid of fighting and refuses to go ahead will be executed according to military law!"

Bah! After hearing what the ordering soldier said, Geerhan deliberately spat on the ground with contempt, then waved his hand: "My sons, set up the formation and advance!"

-

"General Xu, the Chechi Army has finally begun to move!"

Xu Youchang was sitting on his horse in the center of the Metasequoia Army formation. He was calmly commanding all the soldiers to resist the attack of the Loulan people. At this time, when he heard his subordinates shouting this sentence, he quickly looked into the distance and found that

The fresh force, which had rested for more than half a day, had already moved forward.

Xu You raised his sword eyebrows and quickly turned around to look at the top of Metasequoia City. A red sword flag that he had been waiting for for a long time was erected at this moment!

There is a figure standing under the banner, it is Li Jiangyao, the commander-in-chief of the Metasequoia garrison.

"Assault battalion listens to the order, all mount up!"

Following Xu Youchang's order, a thousand white-robed soldiers hidden in the formation all jumped onto their armored horses that had been prepared for a long time, shook off the white cloaks behind them, and at the same time raised their fifty-faced swords embroidered in fiery red.

Snow-white banner of brocade flowers.

From a distance, this flag array looks like a bunch of white flowers suddenly blooming in the huge Metasequoia Army position, swaying gently in the strong wind.

Xu Youchang looked at the city head again. The red sword flag was now held in Li Jiangyao's hand. He suddenly raised his arms and waved it violently in the air.

This is the signal to attack!

Xu Youchang put down his iron helmet and mask, pointed his spear forward, and yelled: "Attack!"

The soldiers of all arms who were in the front row of the position also received the order from the officer leading the team at this time. They quickly and orderly flashed to both sides, and in a blink of an eye, a wide passage was opened. The white-robed army almost simultaneously

With a loud sound, he lowered his mask, then urged his horse to move forward with high spirits.

-

Since the beginning of the battle between the enemy and us in the early morning, the Western Xinjiang Alliance has been the main attack, and the Metasequoia garrison has defended. People on both sides have fought repeatedly using the three square formations of the Metasequoia Army as the fighting points.

So far, Alik Jiang has deployed nearly a dozen square formations of infantry and cavalry, totaling about 30,000 soldiers and horses, taking turns to attack the Metasequoia position. In nearly three hours, the Loulan Army spent thousands of troops

Despite the heavy casualties, they still failed to defeat the Metasequoia Army's defense line.

After being reminded by Durham, the furious Alek Jiang finally realized that the opponent in front of him was extraordinary, and he immediately regretted that he had sacrificed his fighting power in vain.

So, he immediately changed his mind and ordered to blow the horn to summon his sons to withdraw. At the same time, he desperately urged Che Chi's army who was standing by to rush up and replace the exhausted Loulan disciples.

At this time, the four Loulan infantry phalanxes that were originally fighting fiercely in the front began to break away from the battle in accordance with the order and gradually retreated back to make room for the 15,000-car Chi army that was coming from the rear left.

Che Chi's army also formed four formations, but they were a mixture of infantry and cavalry, their formations were relatively loose, and their movements were very slow.

Many of Geerhan's men were horse bandits and were not used to large-scale frontal combat. Especially after seeing the tragic situation of the Loulan Army before, they were even more reluctant. There were helpless military orders, no matter how much delay, the car

The Chi army gradually approached the retreating Loulan army, preparing to cross the square formation and attack the metasequoia troops.

Loulan was exhausted physically and mentally, and at the same time he had to avoid being hit by the Metasequoia shooters on the way back, so he retreated faster and faster; Che Chi knew that he would lose and die, so he naturally had to drag his feet, so he moved slower and slower.

In this way, when the two friendly armies met, their position was much further back than Alik Jiang had expected, and they were only less than 500 steps away from his main formation.

However, as the commander-in-chief, Alek Jiang did not pay too much attention to this detail at the moment. After all, as long as Geerhan was willing to go up and die, it would be fine. But what he did not expect was that the Metasequoia garrison was waiting for this person.

situation!

Just as the two troops who were fighting in rotation were getting closer and closer, and were about to meet, the Metasequoia Formation, which had been on the defensive, suddenly made a sudden movement!

The huge "white flower" from before moved at high speed in the metasequoia formation, and in the blink of an eye it rushed out from the left side of the formation.

"Long live my emperor! Kill, kill, kill!"
Chapter completed!
