[Chapter 326] She is the one to do!
(0326)
In short, Xu Xingxia was quite satisfied with this speed of travel. This was half a day ahead of his estimated time. The scattered soldiers of the Diaoqi Army received encouraging praise from their highest commander, and the fatigue of the long journey seemed to disappear in an instant. Finally, they stayed in a strange canyon.
The surroundings of this canyon are full of rugged rocks. Most of the stones are red, a bit like weathered rocks. In some places, weathered rocks form strange arch bridges. Passersby must pass through the underside of the arch bridges. In other places, weathered rocks form a narrow spine passage. Passersby must also pass through the above carefully. If they fall down accidentally, it will be a little bit of a bad fortune.
The scattered soldiers of the Diaoqi Army all felt quite strange about this canyon. They didn't understand why Xu Xingxia led them here. It felt that such a place should definitely not appear on the prairie. The prairie, as the name suggests, is naturally a prairie with green grass. How could there be such a canyon?
As if seeing everyone's doubts, Xu Xingxia said slowly: "This is Blue Star Gorge, located between Seerteng Mountain and Wula Mountain. People call it the Land of Heaven Punishment. Fifty miles to the west is Wuliangsu Sea. Three hundred and fifty miles to the east is Guihua City. The Tatars in the west want to come from the east, and the people in the east want to go west, they must pass here!"
When Feng Qingwu and others heard this, they couldn't help but feel shocked again.
God, Xu Xingxia actually led them into the hinterland of the Tartars!
The Land of Heavenly Punishment, this place is the Land of Heavenly Punishment! In ancient times, people were civil strife, and this area was one of the most fierce battles. It is estimated that there were many warriors buried in this canyon! Those red rocks were probably stained with the blood of the warriors! It is indeed too dangerous for the white-clothed army to appear here!
It should be known that from here to the east, it is not far away. Xu Xingxia himself said that the 350 miles east is the Guihua City! If they encounter the large army of the Tumot tribe, that is, the cavalry of Lin Danhan, the consequences will be quite bad. Even the most arrogant Diao Cavalry scattered soldiers, they will not think that if they only have forty or fifty people, they can get any advantage when they meet Lin Danhan, who has 50,000 iron-splitting cavalry.
However, since Xu Xingxia brought them here in person, it means that the adventure is worth it. Will Xu Xingxia not know the danger of Lanxing Gorge? Of course it is impossible! Wang Xia and Mao Shisan are not fools! Moreover, since they stayed in Lanxing Gorge and did not march towards Guihua City, it means that the target of their attack was definitely not Lin Danhan. Lin Danhan would not run to Lanxing Gorge for no reason. The person Xu Xingxia was going to ambush must be someone else. I just don’t know who Xu Xingxia was going to ambush?
"Everyone hurry up and take a break! Restore your energy!" Xu Xingxia gave an order.
The scattered soldiers of the Diaoqi Army traveled 380 miles a long distance and were indeed very tired. After receiving the order, they immediately seized the time to eat some dry food, drink some water, and fell asleep. As for all the war horses, they were kept in the innermost part of the canyon. These well-trained war horses could last for a long time as long as they had forage and water. Wang Xia and Mao 32 were busy in the canyon, and no one knew what they were busy with.
They lurked quietly in Lanxing Gorge for a day and a night, and their physical strength was basically restored. The arrangements of Wang Xia and Mao Shisan were basically completed. The rest was to wait quietly. The scattered soldiers of each Eagle Cavalry Army were eagerly looking forward to the target they were going to attack. They all knew very well that those who could let Xu Xingxia lead the troops to ambush themselves must not be ordinary people. It should be his honor to have such treatment.
"Attention! The target appears!"
"Be careful! The target appears! Don't expose it!"
By the afternoon of the next day, the target they were about to attack finally appeared. It was a team of more than 100 Tartar cavalry carrying a large amount of supplies. There was also a carriage in the middle. The carriage was black, with some strange patterns outside, like stars, or moon, and there seemed to be a temple in the middle. The appearance of the carriage made the scattered soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry Army's eyes immediately sharpened. If their guess was not wrong, the target Xu Xingxia would ambush it should be in this black carriage.
In the Tartar tribe, horse-drawn carriages were a bit abrupt. The Tartars actually didn't like to use horse-drawn carriages. The marching speed of horse-drawn carriages was too slow. Ordinary Tartar women actually knew how to ride horses. When they were on a long journey, Tartar women would choose to ride horses like men, and they did not need horse-drawn carriages. The appearance of horse-drawn carriages only shows that the characters in the carriage are quite special. Either she can't ride horses. Or she is her identity and does not need horse-drawn carriages.
"This is... Tessna!" Feng Qingwu suddenly exclaimed in a low voice.
"That's right, it's Tessna!" Xu Xingxia finally revealed the final mystery.
Yes, the one he was going to ambush was the shaman priestess Tesna. As the shamanic priestess who was believed in by the Tartars, Tesna could ride horses. However, in order to maintain the mystery of the shamanic priestess, she often chose to ride a carriage when she went far away. Her carriage was covered with black and the appearance pattern represented the identity of the shamanism. Ordinary Tatars would kneel down devoutly whenever they saw this carriage.
The carriage was naturally surrounded by her believers and guards. Their numbers were not large, only about one hundred, but each of them looked quite tough. The weapons and equipment they carried were also quite excellent. Of course, it goes without saying that they could become Tesna's guards, riding, shooting, and fighting skills, etc., and they were definitely the best among the best. This made the scattered soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry feel a huge pressure, which was quite a bit of a passionate smell. They only had forty or fifty people, but Tesna's guards had hundreds of people, which was not easy to deal with!
Xu Xingxia said coldly: "Note! Our mission this time is to eliminate this Tesna! It is best to be able to capture it alive! If you cannot capture it alive, kill it directly!"
After pausing slightly, Xu Xingxia said in a deep voice: "Everyone keep a distance and don't fight with them in close combat! These people are believers of the immortal world and are fearless! We must use muskets to destroy them at a distance! Do you understand?"
The straitors hurriedly replied: "I understand!"
Xu Xingxia waved her hand vigorously and shouted in a deep voice: "Kill!"
"Boom!"
A loud noise of the sky falling and the earth breaking.
This is Wang Xia’s first throwing a huge explosive pack.
Tesna's horse team obviously did not expect that in the Blue Star Gorge, they would actually be attacked in the core hinterland of their prairie. Therefore, when entering Blue Star Gorge, they did not be vigilant or carefully check the surroundings of Blue Star Gorge, and directly chose to pass. When the explosive pack exploded, they happened to be under the arch bridge.
The huge explosion air wave directly broke the arch bridge, and countless large and small gravels were smashed down, smashing the Tartar guards below into chaos. Some were killed on the spot, some were killed on the spot, and more injured people. The canyon was filled with blood. The passage inside the Blue Star Gorge was not very spacious, and a pack of explosives was enough to block all the way. For a moment, the Tartar guards were in chaos.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, another earth-shaking noise came, causing the wedding to be even more.
This was Mao Shisan who threw a pack of explosives behind the horse team. The purpose of this was of course to cut off the horse team's retreat. The huge air waves of explosion caused the stones on both sides of the canyon to roll down, blocking the canyon completely. It would take at least three or four hours to clear a passage. Obviously, this was absolutely impossible in battle.
The way forward was blocked, and the way behind the retreat was cut off. Even the calm Tartar guards could not calm down. They didn't know who the attacker was, how many people were, and what kind of weapons and equipment they had. They wanted to fight back, but they couldn't see the attacker at all. The smoke screen generated by the explosion and the dust that stirred up seriously hindered their sight. They shot arrows blindly without any effect.
"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!" The leader of the Tartar guard kept shouting loudly, asking the Tartar guards to fight bravely. He waved his scimitars and rode forward desperately, trying to find the trace of the attackers. However, even those who attacked him could not find where they could fight back effectively? The arrows they shot fell on the rocks around the canyon, and they had no effect except to stir up more dust.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The scattered soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry opened fire and fired.
The gunshots of the Sun and Moon guns were heard, and Minnie bullets roared away.
There was a sudden chaos around Blue Star Gorge. Several of the Taurus cavalry caught off guard fell down. The lethality of the Minnie bomb is indeed considerable. As long as it is hit by the Minnie bomb, no matter whether it is dead or not, it will definitely have no combat power. Those Minnie bombs that did not hit the target hit the rocks on both sides of the canyon, which also stirred up a lot of dust.
After a wave of gunfire, the dozen or so Tartar guards who were walking in the front all fell to the ground, including the leader of the Tartar guard. At least three Minni bullets were hit on his body, and even the Daluo Jinxian would not have survived. His obvious target attracted at least five scattered soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry. If he survived with the shooting of five Sun and Moon guns, it would be a miracle. Unfortunately, the miracle did not happen.
