After running out of Yinshan Mountain, they entered the desert area, which was no longer a patch of green grass. Along the way, the terrain was a mixture of desert and pasture. However, Zhou Meier shook her head on her horse and recited a poem: "The Huns are not yet destroyed, and Wei Da has joined the army. The horses are trampling on the road.

He promised to pursue the heroes of the six counties. The jade gate stretches across the desert, and the fox's fortress connects to the clouds. Don't let Yan Ran come up, but leave the Han generals to do their work."

Wei Da asked confusedly: "Why is my name included in it?" Zhou Meier laughed and said, "This is what Brother Chen wrote to you, titled "Send Wei Da off to join the army."

Wei Da touched his head and said with an honest smile: "Brother, thank you. I'm a rough man and don't understand the meaning of these words. I just know that if the court wants to use me this time, I must be brave and meritorious."

Chen Ziang recalled that when he first met Wei Da on the Han River, he was still a young boy, and now he has become a sixth-grade military general. Recalling the time, he smiled and said: "Brother Wei has really grown up and become a man, protecting the family and the country."

!" Ji Si heard this, her face flushed, and she was very happy for Wei.

At this time, looking at the desert, the long stretches of sand and Gobi, what makes people feel is not desolation, but a passion for war. From time to time, you can see border guards patrolling past, as if they are guardians of this land, watching the border.

of hostility.

It's just that Qin Bashan's army did not dare to go deep here, and rarely saw enemies, which made Wei Da a little disappointed. After walking two days further, Yumen Pass can be seen in the distance.

Yumen Pass is a small city with a length and width of more than a hundred feet. It is famous all over the world because the east-west trade route must pass through it. From a distance, Yumen Pass looks like a particularly thick beacon tower.

The last martial arts competition was held near Yumenguan City. There was a beacon tower a few miles away in this area. If the enemy invaded, the smoke would be lit one after another, and the military information could be sent hundreds of miles away in less than an hour.

Chen Ziang and the other four found Wei Da's team. This time the imperial court sent him five thousand cavalry as the vanguard of the army. It happened that he had been training cavalry during his stay in Yinshan, and he was naturally very familiar with cavalry.

He and Chen Ziang put on their official uniforms and attended the military meeting. The army was ready to attack tomorrow. Then they went down to inspect the team, but saw a Uighur man approaching on horseback and said: "The troops of the King of Independent Liberation will also be the vanguard tomorrow, and we will fight with him tomorrow."

Lieutenant Wei cooperates in the battle!"

Wei Da said loudly: "Okay! With the help of the Uighurs, we won't be afraid of getting lost. You go back and report to the King of Dujiezhi, and tomorrow we will kill across the desert!" The Uighurs handed over and left to report the news.

***

The dawn at the border gate woke up with a drop of dew, and the soldiers began to eat breakfast in a hurry. Even the morning sun made people feel hot. When Wei Da's troops were packing their equipment, a puff of clear smoke floated faintly in the distance.

In just a moment, the wisp of clear smoke became thicker, but it was the smoke from the beacon tower closer!

Chen Ziang said: "Gather the team quickly!" Wei shouted: "Mount up, mount up, follow me to kill!" He picked up his whistle stick and took the lead in galloping towards the direction of the rising smoke.

His cavalry then rushed out of the camp and out of Yumen Pass!

The battle flag flies in the wind, and the red tassel flies in the wind!

A few miles away, sure enough, a group of Turkic cavalry were riding their horses and fleeing north, carrying a lot of robbed sheep. Seeing the army of officers and soldiers coming out, they abandoned the sheep and sped away.

Chen Ziang looked at the surrounding officers and soldiers before they had time to respond, and was about to discuss it. Wei rushed out dozens of feet away early. He said to Ji Si and Zhou Meier: "You take a thousand people, keep a distance, and provide support from behind!" He then chased after him!

Advance cavalry.

During this pursuit, which spanned more than a hundred miles across the desert, the hundreds of Turks suddenly reined in their horses' hooves and turned their horses' heads!

The thundering sound of horse hooves has already sounded on the east and west sides, and a large group of Turkic cavalry appeared on the edge of the desert. I am afraid there are ten thousand people!

Wei shouted: "Brother, are you retreating or not?!" Chen Ziang looked back at the series of ignited smoke, rising slanting in the wind, and said loudly: "Our army's horses are tired and cannot outrun them. Fighting on the spot, the rear army will inevitably

Get there!”

Wei shouted: "Keep the formation and take less rest!" The officers and soldiers stepped into their defensive formations and waited for the Turkic soldiers to attack from three sides.

At this time, Ji Si and Zhou Meier led a thousand cavalry to watch the battle from the rear. Chen Ziang felt relieved and praised: "Yes, the Ji Si sisters commanded well."

Da da da, da da da, the horseshoes shook the desert! Although the sunlight reflected by the sharp knife could not kill people, it made the blood on the battlefield even hotter!

The officers and soldiers first fired arrows to kill them. When they rushed thirty feet away, Wei shouted: "Kill!" The officers and soldiers were the main force to kill the Turkic soldiers in front, because they also ran long distances and had the weakest combat effectiveness.

The two sides are only for defense and do not take the initiative to attack.

However, the nearly ten thousand Turkic soldiers on both sides finally disrupted the formation of the officers and soldiers, and the two sides fell into a melee. Although Chen Ziang and Wei Da were highly skilled in martial arts, they were unable to kill the enemy soldiers who were as confused as ants.

Ji Si and Zhou Meier also led the final reserve team into the battlefield, but still could not reverse the situation. It seemed that this time Qin Bashan, Du Xipeng was fully prepared and sent out elites with strong combat effectiveness. He couldn't help but regret that he had rashly

Go deep into the desert!

Zhou Meier led several cavalrymen all the way and shouted to Chen Ziang: "Brother, look over there——"

Chen Ziang glanced furtively and saw thick dust rolling up in the southwest! He was delighted and said, "Okay! The Uighurs have arrived!" That was the camp where the Dujie tribe had retreated south.

...

***

In this fierce battle, Qin Bashan and Duoxipeng invested more than 10,000 elite cavalry. If Dujie Zhi had not led the Huihe tribe to rescue in time, Wei Da would have been wiped out before the arrival of the large army of officers and soldiers.

Because the Huihe people fought bravely to rescue them, they thwarted Qin Bashan's attempt to win a quick victory. When shouts roared from the back of the desert and the flags of the main force of officers and soldiers poked out of the horizon, Qin Bashan's cavalry began to retreat.

Dujie Zhi led Wei Da to pursue them all the way, going deep into the desert for more than a hundred miles, killing thousands of enemies, and then retreated.
