The land to the west of Yumen Pass is mostly Gobi, desert, and meadow. Once the armies of both sides find traces of each other, they will immediately launch an offensive. The Uighur knights with sunken eye sockets, high noses, and mostly thick beards have sharp scimitars.
The horses roared and galloped, and the momentum was quite powerful.
Although the Uighur cavalry is not as outstanding as the powerful armored cavalry of Jin, Liao, Xia and other countries in the current era, when they were still called Uighurs, they were used by the Tang Dynasty to borrow troops many times during the Anshi Rebellion.
Despite their name, the Uighurs in Xizhou also have developed animal husbandry, and the Uighurs are famous for their skill in craftsmanship, their ability to smelt gold, silver, copper and iron into weapons and to attack jade. Now they have a well-equipped cavalry force that cannot be underestimated.
However, when the troops and horses of both sides collided heavily, the general who led the Qi army to fight was even more brave and unstoppable. The long beard under his chin that was thicker and more powerful than that of the Uighur knight fluttered. He was none other than Zhu Tong, the beautiful beard man.
Like a tiger out of the cage, it danced with the spear in its hand, stabbing left and right. Behind it, a large number of military cavalry coordinated the charge and cooperated with each other tacitly. The spears and steel knives collided fiercely, and sparks flew everywhere. After the cavalry teams urged their horses to pass each other, the Xizhou Uighur Cavalry
Many corpses have been left behind in the formation.
Just when the Xizhou Uighur cavalry realized that they had encountered a serious enemy, smoke billowed on the northeastern horizon, and another murderous enemy cavalry appeared in their line of sight.
There was a sound of bowstrings, and a hail of arrows flew out from the Uyghur cavalry formation. Qi Chao Ruiqi, who was rushing from the side, immediately waved his weapon to shoot out the random arrows. Although this rain of arrows continued, there was still some charge.
The soldiers were hit by arrows and fell off their horses, but the entire cavalry formation still maintained its charging momentum.
Instead, the generals who led this group of sharp cavalry of the Qi army drew their bows and arrows steadily on the bumpy horseback. The sharp arrow clusters flashed with a cold light, and they had already firmly locked on the target. "Swish!"
A sharp whistle of arrows pierced the air, and the cluster of spiked arrows turned into a meteor and shot out immediately.
In the distance, the Uighur general who was leading his armored cavalry galloping suddenly felt the cold light dazzling. The wolf-tooth arrows passed through two or three layers of arrays, and then stabbed into his throat! The sharp arrows had sharp edges.
The tip suddenly emerged from the back of the neck, and due to the force of the arrow, the Falcon Rider's body immediately fell from his horse and fell to the ground, killing him instantly!
And he is able to shoot with a strong bow, ride a good horse, is good at using a long spear, and is even more capable of whipping with a tiger-eye bamboo steel whip hanging on his wrist. He is praised by the world as the most familiar with whips and spears, and often practices bows and arrows.
With a calm expression on his face, he steadily put away his bow and arrows. He picked up a starting steel spear from the victory hook on his saddle, pointed forward, and was ready to charge directly into the enemy's formation.
As the fierce impact sounded again, the waves suddenly split, and people fell on their backs. Sun Li made the red tassel of the long spear in his hand tremble and dance, like a cluster of flames rushing up and down, and the momentum penetrated the country, leading all the troops.
The military cavalry urging their horses to charge fiercely tore through the cavalry formation of the Xizhou Uyghur army who was charging forward. Zhu Dian, who was leading his troops to charge on the other side, was also unstoppable and marched forward indomitably. The two groups of Qi army's sharp cavalry were even more energetic and had high morale.
, on the other hand, this group of Xizhou Uighur outpost troops and horses were attacked from both sides, and the formation could not help but become more and more chaotic.
Another disgraced Uighur cavalryman's face twitched violently several times. While he was commanding his troops to fight to the death, he also looked at the bearded enemy general in the Qi army who was only sixty or seventy steps away from him.
He hissed angrily, raised the saber in his hand, and urged his horse to meet him.
However, this Uighur cavalry general only rushed a dozen steps away. The cavalry formation clustered on his left suddenly turned upside down, and the long horses and swords swung their swords in a decisive battle. First, they shot and killed a Sun who was leading the enemy general.
Li took advantage of the situation to attack the enemy's formation, and with his subordinates, he and his soldiers killed the enemy's cavalry who were blocking the way in a hurry. They quickly rode out of the formation. Just when the Uighur cavalry general was about to rush towards Zhu Dian, he turned his head in surprise.
When he looked, a sharp scream had already cut through the sky, and the sharp spear point penetrated the bursting armor leaves, and then went straight into the heart of his heart. Sun Li grabbed the spear tightly and immediately attacked the Uighur rider who was caught off guard.
The horse will fall off the horse!
But it was the mantis stalking the cicada, with the oriole behind. Just as Sun Lifang stabbed another Uighur cavalryman to death with a single shot, there were also enemies behind him who were about to rush out of the melee, but he could not say anything.
He just gritted his teeth and straightened up the steel gun in his hand, and immediately stabbed Sun Li in the back of the heart. Zhu Deng, who was urging his horse to come over, looked at him clearly, and he immediately shouted anxiously.
: "Brother Sun Li! Be careful!"
When Sun Lida heard Zhu Tong's loud warning, his light eyebrows slightly raised on his broad, pale yellow face that looked like gold makeup, and he was already aware that an enemy cavalry was sneaking up behind him. With this lightning-fast time, he might have to make a plan again.
It was too late for the horse to turn around and block. However, Sun Li shook the reins diagonally and twisted his waist at the same time. However, it was said later that when the tip of the steel spear barely touched the armor, it only hit a few bullets.
The sparks slid down from the ribs and passed by, and the Uighur cavalryman who had originally intended to attack by surprise used his moves, and suddenly he was almost on par with the horse under Sun Li's crotch...
Isn't it Sun Lixing's skill to use a loophole to lure the enemy to attack, and then take advantage of the inconvenience of the horse warrior to withdraw his long weapon, and then pick up the tiger-eye bamboo steel whip hanging from his wrist to beat him down?
The third Uighur cavalryman missed the target with his gun, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat. When he hurriedly turned his head and glanced to the side with his vicious eyes in his deep eye sockets, he saw the light yellow
General Qi Han'erjun, who had a thick face and a beard and mustache, looked down with disdain. When his eyes met, the tiger-eye bamboo steel whip that had been firmly held in Sun Li's hand suddenly made a loud sound of breaking wind.
He smashed it down fiercely, and immediately the iron helmet worn by the Uighur cavalry was dented. The sound of fierce metal impact and the sound of skull cracking were heard at the same time, and red and white things mixed with brains and blood came out of the dented helmet.
There was leakage from the lower edge of the helmet. This time, the enemy falcon rider fell off his horse without making a sound. He was already dead and could no longer die!
Soon, a large number of Uyghur cavalry began to rush their horses everywhere and bump into each other. Sun Li took the lead with his three specialties of bows and arrows, spears, and steel whips, and then killed three members of the enemy army.
The cavalry generals of the soldiers also caused the Uighur cavalry in Xizhou to be leaderless. They were indistinguishable from the front and rear ranks and were completely mixed together.
If the killing continued, there would still be swords flashing, blood splattering, roars and screams already mixed together. However, most of the broken limbs and blood splashing were Uighur horses, making deafening shouts of killing.
With the roar of the Qi army's armored cavalry, the defeated troops who ran away screaming in surprise were defeated. The victory of this outpost battle was also a foregone conclusion!
Generals Sun Li and Zhu Dian had also gathered together. Seeing that the remaining Uighurs were defeated and about to disperse, Zhu Deng took the reins and said to Sun Li, "Brothers, we are really good at the three great skills of bow, spear and whip."
She Zhe, killed three generals in a row, defeated a group of Uighur troops in Xizhou first, and made the first contribution to our empire in the Western Region!"
"But it's my brother's praise. Without your help, how could I easily kill the three leaders?"
Sun Li looked around again, and then said: "Today we defeated this group of enemy cavalry, and our army just took advantage of the situation to advance again. Tao Zongwang, Li Yun and other brothers can successfully survey the surrounding terrain, build strongholds and camp step by step, and continue
Transport military supplies and supplies across Yumen Pass... until all the armies of the DPRK are assembled and advance into the borders of the Western Region, the Liao Kingdom to the west will no longer be able to stop us."
However, although Sun Li's activeness led to a victory in the Western Liao war, as the armies of the Qi Dynasty successively advanced through Yumen Pass and entered the Western Regions, the army led by him, Wei Chi, did not serve as the main offensive force.
, and participated in the largest battle personally commanded by the emperors of the Xiaotang and Yelu Dashi empires. Sun Li was still responsible for leading his troops to inspect the surrounding enemy troops. Three months later, he led his troops to return to the Central Plains.

There have been a lot of things these past two days, and the novel is almost finished... I will also have to consider how to intersperse the rest of the Water Margin people's destinations during the war. My energy is really limited, so I will update it only in these two days, and try to resume normal updates the day after tomorrow.
