As the distance gradually narrowed, Nie Canjun pulled out his long knife and shouted at Bai Shan and Zhou Man, "Quickly go-"
After that, he gave the order, "Brothers, draw out your sword to stop the enemy. Our reinforcements are here. It only takes half a quarter of an hour—"
Bai Shan only glanced back. If he was attacked from behind or pursued by cavalry, he couldn't turn around to kill him. Once he turned around and couldn't even react, he would be killed.
Nie Canjun obviously knew this and was ready to use his life to fill the road for them.
Bai Shan turned to Man Bao and said, "You are the chief officer, let them divide their forces and escape."
Because they were fast horses, the wind was so loud that Man Bao could hardly hear him. She turned around and shouted, "No, running away like this will greatly affect morale."
Bai Shandao: "But if you can survive for a moment and a half longer, the reinforcements will arrive in a moment and a half, and your morale will be as good as theirs."
Man Bao was willing, but Nie Canjun was obviously unwilling. This was simply a shame, and the soldiers were also arrogant. They did not listen to Zhou Man and Bai Shan's orders, but accelerated their speed and rushed forward, and then separated to the two wings.
They went around the bend, but instead of going straight forward, they accelerated their horses and turned around, directly facing the Tibetan army.
When Man Bao and Bai Shan looked back while escaping, they saw that they were being led by Nie Canjun and General Meng. They were divided into two wings and fought back. They rushed into the Tibetan army like two sharp knives. The two armies were strangled together in an instant.
.
Man Bao held back his tears with all his strength, and he and Bai Shan sped away and left. The Tibetan army was only blocked for a moment, but the Chinese army immediately separated and continued to pursue them.
They were fast, but they caught up within a moment. Bai Shan and Man Bao stayed behind with Daji and other guards to sweep the formation. Their palms were so nervous that they were sweating. The Heart of the Western Region is too dangerous. Why is the Western Region so dangerous?
Thoughts flashed across the sand dunes, the sound of horse hooves could be heard, and they finally saw the approaching reinforcements.
The Anxi Army's long sword was unsheathed, and he rushed down from the sand dunes, charging down with murderous intent. Man Bao and Bai Shan were stunned by the murderous intent, and Chi Ji and Robber Li also neighed in fright...
The army quickly passed by her and went directly to meet the Tibetan army behind them...
Chi Ji and Pirate Li ran forward for a certain distance inertia before stopping. They reined in their horses and turned around to look. They saw that the Jin cavalry rushing down had already joined the Tubo cavalry. They charged directly into the formation and strangled them.
After passing through, they came out of the formation and then re-entered the formation. In this back and forth, the Tibetan army was instantly dispersed.
Man Bao and Bai Shan stared blankly, looking at each other and feeling like they were breathing a sigh of relief.
The infantry arrived. Although they were running over, there was no confusion in the team. They held Mo Dao and Chang Ke ax in their hands and followed the orders to advance from the flanks.
With their long swords and axes, not to mention that the Tibetan cavalry could not use their hands to resist the opponent's infantry. Even if they did draw their hands, they might not be able to do much.
The Anxi infantry faced off against the Tibetan infantry, almost like harvesting cabbage.
Bai Erlang, who had run far away, came back on his horse and watched the battlefield with Bai Shan and the others. Seeing the blood and flesh flying everywhere, he slightly turned his eyes away and asked, "Should we move back further?"
Bai Shan tightened his grip on the reins and asked, "Do you feel your blood boiling?"
Bai Erlang: "I just want to vomit."
Man Bao glanced at him, turned his horse's head to chase the carriage, and said, "Let's take the medical tent."
As a doctor, this is all she can do, nothing else can be done.
Bai Shan glanced at the battlefield and could only suppress his emotions and follow to set up the medical tent.
The one who led the troops to the rescue was Guo Zhao, the eldest son of Anxi Governor Guo Xiao. He was familiar with General Meng Xiao, and they went to the battlefield arm in arm with him as soon as the war ended.
When we came out, we discovered that a tent had been set up on the leeward side of the dune, and all the wounded soldiers who had retreated from the battlefield had been sent here.
He paused, stopped a soldier and asked, "Have we brought a military doctor?"
General Meng touched the reopened wound on his belly, covered it and said to him: "It's Dr. Zhou from the Imperial Hospital, and he's also the chief officer of the mission. Why, you came to support and didn't even know who the person you were saving was?"
"
Guo Zhao said with a confused look: "No, the soldiers who went back to ask for help said that you were targeted by the Tibetan army on the road, and I came to save you."
After all, it was the father and son who asked for help from Shazhou, and they all brought troops to support them. When they met the Tubo army, they left it alone, so he urgently brought people to rescue him.
General Meng:......
He immediately turned to look for Nie Canjun.
Nie Canjun was also injured. He was holding his wound when someone picked him up from behind. When he heard them talking, he endured the pain and replied, "Young Master Bai gave the order, but I didn't speak."
Guo Zhao turned around and asked General Meng, "Who is Mr. Bai?"
Guo Zhao felt a little disgusted, "You bring relatives with you when you go on business? And these are not relatives, right?"
General Meng Xiao then added: "I am also a student of Chongwen Hall. I heard that I passed the Jinshi exam last year."
Guo Zhao: "..."
He strangled him by the neck, shook him and said, "Can you stop breathing heavily when you speak?"
He asked: "What are the students from Chongwen Hall doing here? Let's make it clear first that we in Anxi only obey His Majesty's orders."
"You think too much," General Meng said, "They didn't even win over us at Yumen Pass. They took the opportunity to follow us on a study tour."
"real or fake?"
General Meng sighed, "Do you know how long it took them to travel from Liangzhou to our Yumen Pass?"
Guo Zhao thought for a while, "Ten days?"
General Meng seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Guo Zhao: "Eight days, no more. They have so much luggage, it will take eight days to arrive in a hurry, right?"
General Meng said: "Thirty-six days."
Guo Zhao: "...Are they born tortoises?"
"So I said they are on a study tour. Don't worry, no one wants to bring your Anxi Army into the camp. And what can you do to win over?" General Meng was disgusted. "Look at how you all manage the Western Region.
What's going on? There are blocks here and there, and there will be turmoil at the slightest sign of trouble. You are not stupid. You don't want to win over the great places in the Central Plains, but you, a bird like you, don't even bother to win over you. The Western Regions haven't become one yet?"
"Shut up, you, no matter how bad you manage, I will save you this time," Guo Zhao said: "Gaochang has only been conquered for a few years. My father can gather so many places and squeeze the Western Turks to Suiye. It is already very good. You Yumenguan
Or are we still in the pass, where bandits are rampant?"
General Meng said: "The suppression should be almost complete by now. Don't worry, in less than two months, this trade route will become prosperous again. Otherwise, my father will not let me bring troops to support you in Anxi."
The two of them walked to the medical tent arm in arm, but they did not meet Zhou Man, Bai Shan and others because they were too busy.
