Not a moment later, at the entrance of Wushiling.

Yelu Fengyun and Wu Changtian led 10,000 soldiers and 20,000 troops from their respective tribes. On their way to reinforce Tianguan, they were blocked at the entrance of Wushiling by Nalan Yu, who led five soldiers.

"It's really funny. Is this Southern Xinjiang general's head broken? A mere few hundred people want to stop my 20,000-strong army?" Wu Changtian pointed at Nalan Yu and shouted.

Nalanyu, who was standing in the middle of the official road, smiled faintly.

He waved the long knife in his hand, pointed it at Wu Changtian and said, "You are shouting so loudly that it is useless. Do you dare to fight with me alone?"

Just as Wu Changtian was about to nod, Yelu Fengyun beside him stopped him.

He said in a deep voice: "We have to hurry, why are you trying to be a hero!" He turned to look at Nalan Yu and said: "We don't need to fight you alone, we just need to bulldoze you!"

When Nalan Yu heard this, he immediately became angry, pointed at him with the long knife in his hand and shouted: "Come here and try!"

Yelu Fengyun ignored him and just waved his hand and said: "General Wu, lead three thousand soldiers and crush them. Don't survive!"

When Nalanyu heard this, he looked back at the five hundred soldiers behind him and said: "Fire two volleys, and then leave. If you dare to shoot one more arrow, I will kill him!"

Five hundred soldiers roared loudly: "General, you are mighty!"

When Wu Changtian saw it, he was so angry that his head was smoking, and he shouted loudly: "Kill them, no one will be spared!"

In the midst of the killing, the soldiers from all the grassland tribes formed a square formation and pushed towards Nalanyu's five hundred soldiers. The iron cavalry started to move, shaking the earth and the earth, the horses roared, and the people's voices boiled!

Nalan Yu, who was standing on the road, did not waver at all. He just raised his right hand and said in a solemn voice: "Look at my gesture, let them go in a little bit, and fire two rounds!"

Five hundred soldiers shouted in unison: "Swear to kill the enemy bandits!"

The three thousand cavalry didn't care at all that the five hundred soldiers were blocking the road. In just a moment, they charged to the official road not 150 feet away from Nalan Yu and others...

"Brothers, fire two volleys and then retreat. Remember your respective responsibilities. If you neglect your duties, you will not be spared!" After saying these words, he made a heavy chopping motion with his right hand!

"Second salvo!"

"Solley, kill them!"

"Charge forward and crush these southern Xinjiang people!"

"Go forward, leaving no one behind!"

For a moment, the battlefield rang with the shouts of their respective camps. In the chaotic moment, five hundred soldiers fired the first round of arrows. Five hundred bamboo arrows were seen like a rainstorm, rushing towards the oncoming cavalry!

After killing that room, pieces of blood bloomed on the official road. Five hundred arrows hit the target. Soldiers and horses were hit by arrows. Like dead branches in autumn, they fell on the official road one after another. The flying blood flowers dyed the snow-white red.

land......

"Don't stop, keep charging. They only have a few hundred people, and they can still turn the world upside down!" Yelu Fengyun shouted loudly, and the soldiers behind him beat the war drums to cheer up the charging soldiers.

"Second round, volley!" Nalanyu looked at the charging cavalry and waved his right hand again to command.

Three thousand prairie cavalry charged forward one after another.

Under Nalanyu's command, five hundred arrows left the sword again and flew towards the oncoming cavalry. The blood flowers bloomed again and the road was stained with blood again...

"The rear team becomes the front team and evacuate immediately!" Nalanyu shouted, and after speaking, he turned the horse's head and ran towards the rear.

The volley of two-wheeled handguns caused less than a thousand damage to various tribesmen on the grassland. In addition, the army and horses reversed, blocking the road.

By the time Wu Changtian ordered people to clear the road and the army continued on its way, Nalan Yu had already retreated far away from the battlefield.

"The army continues to advance. If we encounter them again, no need to be polite, we will kill them all!" Wu Changtian roared fiercely.

Nalanyu led the five hundred soldiers and no longer struggled with the prairie cavalry. Instead, they each lit the fires piled on the road.

In less than a quarter of an hour, thick smoke erupted from the Shili Canyon, and the fireworks also contained the pungent smell of chili peppers.

"Report to the general that the enemy lit up smoke and mixed it with chili..."

The sentry in front turned around and ran away. Wu Changtian and Yelu Fengyun said.

"Take out your hand towels, pour warm water from the kettle, and cover your mouth and nose. They want to stop us in this ten-mile canyon. We must not let them succeed!" Yelu Fengyun roared.

"Take out the handkerchief, pour warm water from the kettle, cover your mouth and nose, and the army continues to move forward!"

"Take out the handkerchief, pour warm water from the kettle, cover your mouth and nose, and the army continues to move forward!"

The army did not stop for long and continued to advance.

At this time, Nalanyu had already led five hundred soldiers out of the Wushi Canyon and was guarding the intersection of the canyon.

"Now, it all depends on your performance!" As he spoke, he looked up at the sky, his face full of yearning.

...

Xichun's army advanced very quickly. In less than half an hour, it had already advanced to the middle of the canyon, where Li Ye originally stopped to investigate.

At this speed, they should advance while clearing the fires on the road, otherwise it would be faster.

However, at this moment, Ma Tianyun, who was above the canyon, had already led 3,500 soldiers to quietly ambush above the canyon. Looking at the prairie cavalry advancing into the middle of the canyon, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Said: "The Imperial Master really has a clever plan. As long as General Nalan leads the soldiers to challenge, they have no intention to search the top of the canyon for any ambush. I really don't know if these generals are pig-headed!"

Shen Huocheng, the original guard of Kaiyang, smiled on the side and said, "Can we execute the plan as planned?"

Ma Tianyun looked down and said quietly: "Give me the order, shoot the horses with the weight of the slave, and the archers with the hand of the slave. We must hold them for two hours. When the hour is up, we will retreat!"

Shen Huocheng looked at the flag bearer behind him and said: "Give the order, shoot three volleys, shoot the horses with the heavy spear, and shoot the people with the hand spear!"

In less than a moment, I saw the red flag in Qi's hand waved, and a rain of arrows fell from the canyon that was far bigger and more violent than the sky!

More than three thousand arrows, ten heavy arrows, were like a heavy rain, pouring on the heads of the cavalry in the grasslands. This was a blow from the mountain, without any blind spots, in the canyon less than fifty feet.

Suddenly splashed!

Before the cavalry from the grassland tribes could recover, a rainstorm of three thousand arrows had already hit their bodies and horses.

The sky full of wind and snow was mixed with blood flowers, and the thick blood immediately overwhelmed the cold snowflakes and spread on the official road of Wushiling!

"Enemy attack! There is enemy attack! Above the canyon!"

"General, there is an enemy attack above. The firepower is too strong and the forwards cannot rush through!"

Before Wu Changtian and the others could react, the second round of salvos had already been unleashed. Thousands of soldiers were seen falling on the road, and the snow was once again dyed red with blood.

Yelu Fengyun and Wu Changtian were dumbfounded, they thought someone would ambush on Wushi Ridge.

, but they were in a hurry to rush to Xiaguan and did not have time to clean up the ambushing troops on the mountains. Unexpectedly, a careless move put the 20,000-strong army into a dilemma.

Looking at the smoky battlefield ahead, Yelu Fengyun finally made a decision. He looked at Wu Changtian and said, "Order the army to withdraw from Wushiling and return to Xichun. After reporting to the general, we will come back for encirclement and suppression!"

"General, aren't we going to rush to Xiaguan to help? This is an order!" Wu Changyun looked at him and shouted.

Yelu Fengyun sighed and said: "Although it is a military order, it must be carried out with orders! Give the order immediately and the army will retreat!"

Wu Changtian glanced at him and waved helplessly: "Send the order, the army will retreat and return to Xichun City!"

When things happened, he also knew that it was important to save his life. Otherwise, according to this situation, the entire army of 20,000 was likely to be annihilated.

After three rounds of volleys, more than half of the 20,000-strong army suffered casualties. The prairie cavalry who received the military order left the battlefield and retreated.

For a moment, people were on their backs, and the surviving soldiers on the narrow official road rushed up and down as they rushed to and fro.

...

Nalanyu and other five hundred soldiers who were guarding the intersection of Wushiling waited for a long time, but did not wait for the prairie cavalry, looking at the canyon billowing with smoke.

He murmured to himself: "I just received a beating and stopped beating? Aren't I waiting here in vain?"

Even so, he did not dare to pursue, because the order given to him by Li Ye was to block, not to fight head-on. The military orders were like mountains, and he did not dare to deviate from them even if his hands were itchy.

"General, we haven't had enough, so these grandsons have just retreated!" the five hundred soldiers roared.

"General, should we catch up and beat them up?"

"General, give the order!"

Nalan Yu looked at the five hundred soldiers, laughed, and said coldly: "Do you believe that if you catch up now, even if you win the battle, the Imperial Guard will chop off your heads when you turn around?"

All the soldiers were stunned. Only here did they remember that they and others were ordered to stop the attack, and they only needed to complete the task.

On the battlefield, military orders are more important than anything else, and they still understand this truth.

"What a pity we let them go!"

"If the Imperial Guard were here, they would definitely order us to attack!"

"Then we have to wait until the national master comes. Everything on this battlefield must obey the command!"

"Stop yelling, rest where you are, and leave here after dark!" Nalan Yu finally gave the order. This was also the battle plan Li Ye gave him.

"Brothers, think about it. Our five hundred soldiers only injured more than a thousand enemies. This is a miracle since the war began. The key is that we did not suffer any casualties. Is this possible in your previous battles?"

"After completing the mission, the Imperial Guard will be rewarded. Besides, we have to meet up with the Imperial Guard next to go to Xichun to find another battle. Everyone, hurry up and cook, eat well and sleep well, so that we can have the strength to fight again!"

Looking at the five hundred soldiers in front of him, Nalanyu shouted loudly.

"That's it, obey the order. Let's make a fire and cook quickly. When we're full, we'll follow the Imperial Master to fight another big battle!"

"I want to drink a bowl of broth, everyone hurry up and make a fire!"

"Oh, it's a pity that I can't go there. How about picking up a few military horses and roasting them to eat? That would be fun."

"Listen, don't think about picking up the dead horses to eat after a while. I estimate that tomorrow's battle will be more intense than today. We must follow the arrangements of the national division and arrive at our location within the designated time!"

Nalanyu looked at the excited soldiers and gave deep instructions.

"Yes! We have to wait until we return to Nanyun City to celebrate!"

"Everyone, take a good rest and recuperate your energy. Only then will you have a chance to survive tomorrow!"
Chapter completed!
