Chapter 117 Catching a Turtle in a Jar, Whoever Catches It Will Be the Turtle
Hearing this, Xiao Po, the commander of the Jinwu Guards, was stunned for a moment and thought: Your Highness is confused. Aren't all the Dragon City troops in Shule City here? Where can we recruit troops to quell the rebellion?
However, Xiao Po still chose to carry out Jin Wang Chen Huaian's order without hesitation.
As soon as he raised his hand, the signal arrow on his arm that was always in firing state flew out in a swish.
Whoosh!
Ba——
Accompanied by a red cloud-piercing arrow that took off, it exploded over the vast Gobi Desert outside Shama Town, and an orange flame bloomed.
The eyes of both the Dragon City soldiers and the soldiers of the Western Region Allied Forces present subconsciously focused on the cloud-piercing arrow that bloomed in the sky.
Azar, the No. 1 Uighur warrior who was closest to Chen Huaian, was looking around on horseback, only to find the sand dunes of the Gobi Desert where he could see;
Apart from the yellow sand floating in the wind, there was not even a shadow of a lizard, let alone Han reinforcements.
Pei Luo, the bone strength of Huihe Khan who was further away, could not hear what Azar and Chen Huaian were saying, but he could clearly see the cloud-piercing arrow blooming in the sky.
It was a signal arrow commonly used by the Han army, using different colors of gunpowder explosions to represent different general orders.
There is also a saying that "an arrow pierces the clouds, and thousands of troops come to meet each other".
The bone-strength Pei Luo seemed to be very calm, but in fact he was very nervous inside. He was not sure whether Chen Huaian, who was releasing the cloud-piercing arrow at this time, really ambushed a surprise army outside Shama Town.
It wasn't until Balhu, the commander of the imperial guards around him, reported to him that everything was normal in the surrounding Gobi Desert and there was nothing out of the ordinary, did the smug smile on Pei Luo's face resume.
He ordered: "Send the order and ask General Azar to immediately lead his troops to attack the enemy without delaying the opportunity to fight!"
"The general will get the order!"
With an order, the flag bearer of the Western Region Barbarian Army's main tent waved the triangular flag in his hand vigorously and issued an attack order to Azar, who was in charge of the troops!
Soon, Azar, the most powerful Uighur general who commanded 50,000 cavalry, responded.
With a somewhat mocking tone, he said sternly: "Chen Huaian, a bastard, is on the verge of death, and yet he is still here to make lies and scare people!"
"The Uighur cavalry officers obey orders——"
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Azar's general order to attack with his entire army was still stuck in his throat, but bursts of war drums sounded in his ears, like thunder on the ground.
Swish, swish, swish!
Swish, swish, swish!
Immediately afterwards, there was the rustling sound of the sand on the Gobi Desert constantly sliding downwards.
Azar couldn't help but frown, and looked around again.
He has lived in the Gobi desert all year round, and he is extremely familiar with this kind of rustling sound.
It can make the surrounding gravel slide at the same time, making such a pleasant rustling sound. At least it can only be made by the movement of large-scale caravan camels or groups of war horses.
Could it be that there are really reinforcements from the Han army?
Sure enough, when Azar looked around with suspicion, he suddenly discovered that the sand dunes of the Gobi Desert not far away began to move one after another.
The first person to appear in the sight of Azar and the Western Region Allied Forces was a Han military general riding a Gundam war horse, wearing heavy armor, and holding a short sword with one hand high.
One man and one horse, he crossed the sand ridge and climbed onto the sand dune, pointing the blade directly at the back of the Western Region Allied Forces.
Although the distance was too far, Azar could not clearly see the expression of the Han general.
However, the fierce aura about him clearly indicated that he was not a good person. He must have been a warrior who was killed from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, so he could have that powerful aura.
I heard an angry roar from the person coming, which was shocking:
"Lan Yu, the General of Dragon City's Western Expedition, is here. You young men of the Western Regions, why don't you dismount your horses and accept the surrender!"
"Those who surrender will avoid death!"
Suddenly, Lan Yu's voice seemed to be amplified countless times by a loudspeaker, resounding throughout the Gobi Desert near Shama Town.
"Those who surrender will avoid death!"
Apparently, Sapphire doesn't have a loudspeaker.
It was the Longcheng soldiers and horses under his command who kept crossing the sand ridges and climbing the sand dunes. They roared General Lan Yu's plea for surrender until it reached the ears of every barbarian soldier in the Western Regions.
In the blink of an eye, the Dragon City soldiers and horses that kept appearing on the back of the Western Region Allied Forces had begun to form an encirclement of the Western Region Barbarian Cavalry.
Everywhere he looked, there were Han soldiers wearing armor and holding sharp weapons.
Scarlet war flags with the word "Jin" written on each side, like bamboo shoots after a rain, are constantly being erected on the vast Gobi desert, and they are buzzing in the wind as the strong wind passes by.
It's not over yet!
Just when Uihe Khan Peiro, the first warrior Azar, and a group of barbarian soldiers from the Western Regions were surprised, this Han cavalry appeared behind the Western Regions cavalry;
How did he escape the detection of the Western Region Allied Forces scouts and appear unknowingly behind the Uighur army? There was an overwhelming roar, erupting from the sand dunes of the Gobi Desert behind the Western Regions Allied Forces Central Army tent:
"Pang Xianchu, the brave general of the Dragon City Polu Army——"
"Fan Wuji, the leader of Dragon City Iron Buddha Tu—"
"here!"
"You little fellows of the Western Regions, why don't you dismount your horses and accept your surrender!"
One on the left and one on the right, those who attacked the center position of Pei Luo, the backbone of Huihe Khan, turned out to be Pang Xianchu and Fan Wuji, who commanded the Dragon City Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Tiefu Tu.
"Those who follow the king of Jin will be prosperous;"
"Those who rebel against the King of Jin will perish!"
For a moment, on the undulating sand dunes near the central army of the Western Region Barbarians, the roars of the Dragon City Iron Pagoda and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry echoed throughout the Gobi Desert.
In this way, with the small town of Shama Town in the Western Region as the center, radiating to the Gobi Desert within a radius of dozens of miles, two huge encirclements were formed like a hook.
The first one was the Western Region Barbarians who surrounded the 30,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry and the Anxi Border Army;
The second one was the Dragon City Army, which surrounded all the 150,000 Western Region Barbarians tightly, with a total of 170,000 troops.
"What on earth is going on?"
In the central army tent of the Western Region barbarians, the Uighur Khan Guli Peiluo no longer had the calmness he had in the past. He roared like thunder: "Who can tell me what on earth is going on?"
"Barhu, are the scouts, spies, and spies you sent out blind?"
"Such a large-scale ambush of the Han army was not discovered?"
"Where did this dog Han Chen Huaian get so many troops from? Could it be that he has the ability to turn beans into soldiers?"
Guli Peiluo roared angrily: "How come the sand and gravel on the Gobi Desert turned into fully armed Han troops overnight?"
"Tell me, what on earth is going on?"
However, no one could answer Guli Peiluo's question.
At the same time
Azar, the first warrior of the Huihe who was closest to Chen Huaian, no longer had the arrogant look on his young and arrogant face, and he could not shout anything. A spit from one person could drown Chen Huaian's crazy words.
At this moment, Azar was more confused.
He couldn't figure out how the Han army reinforcements that suddenly appeared could avoid the detection of the Huihe scouts and spies.
These are not a hundred or eighty people. They can just find a sand pit and lie down to make themselves the same color as the sky and the earth.
The Han army that appeared behind the Western Regions coalition army had at least 100,000 or 200,000 troops.
Could it be that this dog Han Chen Huaian would use a sleight of hand to make all the Huihe scouts and spies blind?
The original plan was to set up heavy troops in Shama Town to catch the dog Han Chen Huaian in a jar.
Now it's good, it's still a jar.
However, he and his Huihe cavalry had gone from being the turtle catchers to being the turtles!
Before Azar could adjust himself from the psychological gap of "being the turtle catcher", Chen Huaian, the King of Jin, who was at the core of the two-layer encirclement, laughed and shouted at him again:
Hahaha!
"Hey, you little brat from the Western Regions barbarian army up there, do you still want to compete with me to see who has more soldiers?"
