Wu Dan woke up, but felt that life was worse than death.

His memory was still three days ago, and the scene on the battlefield was deeply engraved in his mind. He realized that he had made a fatal mistake. Now that the earth bow was lost, he was seriously injured. The reputation of Tianlang's undefeated became over, and he knew nothing about what happened in these three days.

But he believed that Liang Xiao would never be idle.

He found a close confidant and found out that the situation was critical after a moment of inquiry. The Han envoys had come, and King Loulan, King Khotan and others got together these two days, and they absolutely had no discussions on anything good.

However, what worried him the most was the messenger sent by Liang Xiao. He showed the kings their predicament, pointed out the originally potential danger before the kings, forcing the kings to make decisions, further complicating the already dangerous situation.

Wu Dan thought for a long time and asked someone to find King Ruoqiang. When he learned that Tianlang had woken up, King Ruoqiang was ecstatic and rushed over immediately. After greeting him enthusiastically, he seized the opportunity to report the whereabouts of King Loulan and others.

Wu Dan was mentally prepared, but he didn't say anything. He just told King Ruoqiang to be on guard and promised to give him more spoils after the war. King Ruoqiang went happily. Wu Dan then found Xiao Wang of various tribes to win over them one by one, but reminded them to be careful that powerful tribes such as King Loulan took the opportunity to merge, use both soft and hard, and finally stabilized the situation temporarily.

Everything was about to stop, and Wu Shan ordered people to report to King Loulan and others to the tent. In order not to let King Loulan and others see his serious injury, he specially ordered the wizard to adjust some medicine for him. These medicines came from India and could relieve pain and refresh the spirit. The wizard often drinks them when he practices.

After drinking two large cups of medicine mixed with goat milk, Wu Dan's complexion improved significantly, and his pale face became a little rosy. King Loulan and others entered the tent. When they saw Wu Dan's appearance, they were secretly shocked and then were very grateful. Seeing this, Tianlang was not seriously injured, and he was defeated that he did not take action, otherwise he would be in danger now.

"What are you busy with these days?" Wu Dangao said slowly on the tiger-skin chair: "Are you so nervous? Are you worried that I can't wake up?"

King Loulan was sweating profusely, and hurried forward and said with a forced smile: "Sir, a natural warrior, how can there be any trouble? We are just doing our best to pray for you. Now that sir, we are happy, and we will still be nervous when we wake up."

"In this way, I can be safe and sound, and it is also my blessing." Wu Dan snorted: "What are Liang Xiao's actions? I heard that he sent an envoy to come, what did he say?"

"What else can I say is nothing more than nonsense that disrupts our morale and curses the adults. We are not three-year-old children, so how can we believe him? Adults are invincible, and small setbacks can hurt adults' lives."

"Thank you for your trust. However, we will not be able to wait too long for us to fight thousands of miles. Please be prepared. If you fight again tomorrow, you will win in one battle and kill Liang Xiao's head. Except for Liang Xiao's bow, all the spoils will be distributed to you. I will not take any armor."

Wu Dan paused and said, "It's okay, the Han army's weapons and equipment are excellent. If you can win 10 or 20 mates, you will be very proud in the future. Unfortunately, the number of Han soldiers is too small, with a total of less than a thousand people. You should work hard."

King Loulan and others did not dare to be negligent, and nodded, expressed their loyalty to Tianlang in turn, and then retreated tremblingly. They looked at each other with a wry smile and shook their heads, wiped away the cold sweat from their foreheads, and returned to the camp.

Liang Xiao quickly got the changes in the Qiang Camp. He talked about the situation with Xu Le and Ma Rong who had just returned to the camp, and Ma Rong was very disappointed.

"Wu Dan's luck is a little better. He actually woke up at this time. If it were two days later, maybe the kings would have to do anything."

Xu Le laughed. "Zi Jin, the purpose of sending you to see the kings has been achieved. What does it matter if Wu Dan dies? If he just wants him to die, the king could shoot him at that time, so why wait until now?"

Ma Rong was puzzled. "Junhou hopes Wu Dan will live?"

"It doesn't matter whether he is alive or not. Without strong force, he is still a walking corpse even if he is alive. However, the strongest of the countries in Nanshan are in the west, so it is not easy to lure them here. Naturally, we must seize the opportunity to teach them a lesson so that they will not dare to resist for at least ten years."

"Yes, Wu Dan was so injured, they dared not resist. It can be seen that he is cowardly and not be influenced by benevolence and righteousness, and he must be forced with majesty." Xu Le continued the conversation and sighed deeply. "Barish barbarians are barbarians, with too little knowledge and cannot distinguish the gains and losses. Zi Jin has already explained the truth so clearly, but they still don't understand, so they can only use force to make them sober."

Seeing Xu Le's statement, Liang Xiao didn't say anything. He asked someone to invite the leaders of Batu and the tribes to tell them the movements of the Qiang camp. No matter what, they are all Qiang people, and they belong to the same kind. If they want to kill, they must first gain their sympathy, so as not to leave a bad impression that the Han people are good at killing.

When they heard that King Loulan and others refused the good intention of the Han army to negotiate, the leaders were both regretful and excited. Unfortunately, they had to fight a war in the end. They were so excited that they didn’t have to worry about losing the battle, just wait to get a bargain. Anyway, Liang Xiao said that before winning, he would not step back from the stone tablet. And his previous record was enough to show that Liang Xiao had such strength. Not to mention that Tianlang was injured, even if he was fine, he was not Liang Xiao’s opponent.

Batu was even more excited and his chest was slapped, and he said loudly: "General, don't worry, I will lead all troops to hold their positions and never take a step back. Since they have traveled thousands of miles to die, let's help them."

Huang Ruo of the Eagle Tribe also stood up. "The prince is right. With the command of the general this time, we will definitely win a great victory. After this battle, we still have time to arrive in Loulan and Ruoqiang. Maybe we will spend the winter in Loulan City today. Haha, I knew that Loulan was a big city for a long time, and finally had the chance to see it."

Mo Su, the leader of the scalper tribe, thought for a while, stood up and gave a ritual. "General, although the scalper tribe is average, he is willing to fight with the general. If the general intends to fight the west, I am willing to be the general's front pawn."

Some people took the lead, others were not willing to be outdone and asked for a fight.

They all knew that the most powerful countries in the Nanshan tribes were here. If Liang Xiao really could seriously damage them, it would be possible to control Nanshan in one fell swoop. Some small countries might even lose their country due to too much loss. At this time, express their opinions and leave a good impression in the hearts of the Han people. Then there will be more benefits. Captives, cattle and sheep are all necessary. If they can divide them into a good pasture, it would be great.

Liang Xiao knew exactly what these leaders thought. He exchanged glances with Xu Le, smiled slightly, and waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Thank you for your support. As I said, the Han emperor sent us to the Western Regions to ensure your safety. Since some people do not know how to advance and retreat, we have to start a killing. The war will start tomorrow. Please stick to our own formation and see our Han soldiers charge for you." Liang Xiao stood up and clenched his fists and hit his chest. "As long as my Han family still has a breath, we will not let these thieves cause trouble to the Western Regions."

The leaders stood up one after another, caressed their chests and saluted. "Thank you, General."

"Thank you, the emperor of the Han family."

"Han's Tianwei, we are convinced."

After a few days, Wu Dan once again commanded the army to enter the position.

The situation is similar to the previous two times. Batu led various soldiers to defend the eastern end of the valley, and Liang Xiao led more than a thousand cavalry to stand on the hillside. The difference was only after two devastating wars that the Qiang people were full of confidence in Liang Xiao and his knights. Faced with the enemy's superior forces, they no longer wavered and no longer panic. Instead, they held the weapons in their hands, waited for the beginning of the battle, and waited to witness Liang Xiao defeat the enemy again.

On the other hand, the morale of the coalition forces in Guxi seemed a bit tragic. Tianlang had not recovered from serious injury and could only sit in command of the central army and could not go to the front line in person. The king of Ruoqiang was the leader of the former army, but his strength had increased significantly. Tianlang drew some elite troops from various countries and gave him the command. At present, he has 5,000 elite cavalry and is strong.

King Ruoqiang sat on the back of the horse, with a newly made big flag floating above his head, and was in a complicated mood. He was very glad that he stood firmly on the side of Tianlang and did not participate in the conspiracy of King Loulan and others. Now King Loulan, King Khotan, and King Jumi were all arranged to watch the battle in the middle army, called Zunpeng, but in fact he was under house arrest. Their subordinates were handed over to the command of the little king like King Ruoqiang.

These are all for death. King Ruoqiang sighed secretly. He is not easy to do as a mission. It is okay to win if he wins. If he loses or even dies of Tianlang, King Loulan will definitely not be able to spare him.

Who made him the knife in Tianlang’s hand?

While thinking about his thoughts, King Ruoqiang sent a thousand cavalry to challenge. All of these thousand cavalry were Loulan people. They also knew their situation. King Loulan was placed under house arrest by Tianlang in the central army. If they could not win, they would have to die in the battlefield.

The Loulan people, led by a thousand generals, rushed towards the morning sun and rushed eastward.

Liang Xiao didn't say much and ordered the drum to beat. Xie Guanglong led 400 cavalry to rush down the hillside. Two hundred Han cavalry and two hundred Qiang cavalry, divided into two routes and surrounded the Loulan people. Ruoqiang King had once faced against Xie Guanglong, and one thousand cavalry was killed by Xie Guanglong and two hundred cavalry. Knowing that one thousand cavalry was definitely not the opponent, he immediately sent two thousand cavalry to support him. It is necessary to make a good start.

The two armies knights were five or six hundred steps apart, gradually accelerating and approaching quickly.

Liang Xiao raised his hand and waved it gently. The messenger shook the colorful flag and issued an order. The drummer was energetic and beat the war drum hard. The sound of the war drum, which had originally been soothing, suddenly hit twice.

Under the hillside, fifty crossbows were lined up and disguised themselves. At the same time, ten crossbows roared.

"Bangbangbangbang!" Almost at the same time, ten black spots were shot out, turning into ten groups of light smoke in the air, crossing the heads of Xie Guanglong and others, and pounced on the Loulan cavalry who were rushing in the front.

The crossbow chariots were deployed in the valley with a range of 500 steps, far exceeding the distance that the human eye could pay attention to. The King of Loulan might be able to see these big chariots, but he would only treat these big chariots as obstacles to the charge of the cavalry. He would never have thought that these big chariots were deadly weapons.

When they find something is wrong, it's too late.

Ten groups of light smoke gathered together and shot into the formation of the Loulan people, forming a strike circle centered on a thousand generals, with a radius of twenty steps. Three hundred iron arrows shot at almost the same time, instantly piercing the bodies of countless Loulan people and war horses.

Immediately afterwards, a second wave of attacks followed one after another.

The Loulan people were mainly leather armor, with only a thousand generals and some of the personal guards around them having iron armor, and all the war horses did not have armor. Facing these iron arrows that were more than two feet long, their protection was almost nothing. Some iron arrows shot through their bodies, spewing blood arrows, and some iron arrows left their bodies, and as they moved, they were tying their internal organs.

The Loulan people suffered heavy damage, nearly 100 people were injured by arrows and fell off their horses. Thousands of generals who were given special care were even more than ten arrows. They fell from the horses and died on the spot. Dozens of war horses fell to the ground after being arrowed.

The Loulan people who were charging were not prepared at all and were stunned. The knights behind could not stop and had no time to turn. They ran into it and tripped to the ground, causing more riots. The originally neat charge formation was cut off in the middle, leaving only the hundred knights rushing in the front unaffected and continued to rush forward.

Unfortunately, their luck did not last long. Four hundred Han Qiang knights rushed over and swallowed them in an instant.

The Han Qiang Knight succeeded with one blow, and without stopping, quickly rushed towards the chaotic Loulan people. The Loulan people watched the Han Qiang Knights rolling over like the wind but had no choice. Their charge rhythm was disrupted, and the war horses were either tripped or lost their speed, and they had no power to fight back at all.

The Han and Qiang knights were in a row, jumping on horses and dancing with spears, like surging waves, and their offensives were like tides, constantly.

After a charge, everyone in Loulan fell over and suffered heavy losses. Less than one-third of the Loulan people were still sitting on the horse's back, feeling in a daze. Looking at the messy battlefield, they didn't even know what was going on. Some people just thought it was bad luck and the horse was tragic.

The Han Qiang Knights did not have such doubts. They had practiced similar tactics countless times, without any accidents. They turned their horses and rushed over again, killing the remaining Loulan people in front of the formation.

The two thousand Qiang cavalry who came to reinforce were shocked and slammed the horses. They were far away. Although they didn't see the crossbow arrows clearly, they saw with their own eyes how the Han knights in iron armor and holding spears killed the Loulan people. Four hundred cavalry against one thousand cavalry, they only used one charge to deal with the Loulan people. Such combat power was simply terrifying.

They had heard of the strength of the Han Qi and were mentally prepared. But when they saw this scene with their own eyes, they were still shocked.

They believed that they were no better than the Loulan people. Facing the Han cavalry like a wolf or a tiger, they had no confidence. They both held the war horses, turned the horse's heads, and avoided the head-on confrontation with the Han cavalry. ——
