The Western Turks were still very alert, and soon many people rushed out of the tents with swords in hand, preparing to fight the invading enemies.

However, looking around, there was no shadow of the enemy, only patches of fire burning, and tents were constantly being caught in the flames.

"Quick, help Dekeli put out the fire."

Dekeli's shout immediately alerted the people in the nearby tents. As soon as these people came out of the tent, they saw Dekeli covered in flames rolling on the grass. Some people took off their jackets and stepped forward to help put out the fire.

.

"No! Mohand is also on fire."

"Ah! Be careful, everyone, this fire is a bit evil." A man who looked like a team member discovered that several people who helped put out the fire were attacked one after another, and soon discovered that today's fire was a little different.

However, it's too late.

With an army of 20,000 people nesting in Liangye Valley, it is difficult for others to find them, but it is also troublesome to escape.

Besides, in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of their cavalry, the Western Turks always rode two or even three cavalry, which resulted in tens of thousands of horses gathering in the small valley.

Although these horses were all tamed, they still panicked in front of the fire.

Many Western Turks rushed out of their tents. They were not burned to death, but were trampled to pulp by the galloping horses.

"We will also drop bombs along the valley entrance and try to burn all the grasslands here."

At this time, Li Kuan no longer thought about whether the fire would burn down the surrounding area after the fire started. The key was to kill the 20,000 Western Turks first.

Even though the 20,000-strong army does not seem to be much, considering that these are the elite cavalry of the Western Turks, if they are all lost here, it will definitely cause the Western Turks to be exhausted, and they will not be able to recover for a few years.

Upon hearing Li Kuan's order, Wang Xuanwu picked up an incendiary bomb from the hanging basket and dropped it down, while Dai Quan personally operated the hot air balloon to move towards the valley mouth.

At the same time, Xue Li also shot a resounding arrow. The scouts who followed him nearby followed the previously agreed code and immediately knew that the first battle of the hot air balloon battalion was successful. They could let the remaining guards move closer to the valley and arrange for the personnel to quickly return to Liangzhou City.

, asked Niu Jinda to arrange a large army to encircle and suppress the Western Turks who broke out near Liangye Valley.

"Abdu, leave quickly, this fire cannot be extinguished."

In the valley, the fire has become more and more fierce, and almost all the tents and food of the Turks have been burned. As the leader of this army, Abdu is the eldest son of the Western Turk Khan. He originally thought that after this robbery,

Even if his position within the Western Turks is stable, he can successfully take over.

However, I didn't expect that when I was about to return to the grassland, I encountered an inexplicable attack.

Yes, from Abdul's point of view, today's attack was inexplicable.

By now, everyone basically knows that the attack comes from the hot air balloon in the sky. It must be a newly invented weapon by Datang, but what is its use?

Although many Western Turks rushed to the mouth of the valley desperately to escape the sea of ​​fire, few actually succeeded.

On the contrary, because of the confusion, they often collided with each other, causing everyone to fall off their feet.

"Let's go! Mr. Fan, where can I go? This army is the most elite force of the tribe, and it has been lost in my hands. Do I still have the nerve to go back?"

Abdu was able to become the heir to the throne, so he naturally had a few skills. In fact, he was a rare man with both civil and military skills on the grassland. He decisively introduced many frustrated Tang people in the Western Turks to provide him with advice.

Even this robbery was carried out under the guidance of his subordinate Fan Wensheng from the Tang Dynasty.

"Abdu, if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. I see that there is no army leader at the entrance of the valley. As long as we rush out, we can escape back. Then we can make a comeback." Fan Wensheng defected to the Western Turks, so naturally he was

I hope to get ahead, but I don’t want to see Abudu die like this in Liangye Valley.

"Yes, young master, Mr. Fan is right. The top priority is that we rush out of this valley first. If it is later, we may not have a chance."

The guards around Abdul were all relatives of his own tribe, and there was no problem with their loyalty to him. Soon, regardless of whether Abu agreed or not, Fan Wensheng and Abdul's guards embraced Abdul and got on the horse.

, a group of people met gods and killed gods, met ghosts and ghosts, and rushed towards the mouth of the valley.

During this period, some Western Turks blocked the way in front, and were immediately chopped down by Abdul's guards.

"Let everyone raise the hot air balloon higher, otherwise it will be dangerous!"

The load capacity of the hot air balloon was limited, so everyone quickly threw all the incendiary bombs into the valley, and as expected, the area below became a sea of ​​fire.

In some places with dense grass and shrubs, the fire has become completely uncontrollable.

The raging fire heated up the air above the entire valley, causing the hot air balloons to experience some instability in control.

Fortunately, Zhu Fuyu was already familiar with the performance of the hot air balloon. When he noticed something was wrong, he immediately signaled everyone to raise the level.

At the same time, in Liangzhou City, Niu Jinda had a sad look on his face.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu hasn't come back yet?"

"General, since the prince left the city yesterday afternoon, he has been heading northwest. Since our scouts were only placed within a radius of ten miles, we lost sight of the prince's movements after yesterday evening.

Niu Jinda became even more worried after hearing what his men said, "Hey, it's all my fault that I wasn't firm enough yesterday. I shouldn't have let His Royal Highness the King of Chu leave the city."

"General, we can still ensure the safety of the prince when he is in Liangzhou City, but what will happen when he leaves the city is completely uncontrollable. Just the day before yesterday, the Western Turks looted a village seven or eight miles south of the city.

Well. If the prince’s team is encountered by the Turks, then..."

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu said that he would take his guards to destroy the Western Turks so that they would never dare to invade Liangzhou City again. Now it seems that if he can avoid being destroyed by the Western Turks, I will be thankful to God."

To be honest, Niu Jinda was very dissatisfied with Li Kuan's insistence on leaving the city; and when he heard that Li Kuan went out of the city to kill the Western Turks, although he was a little admired in his heart, he was more disappointed.

Being brave and resourceful is worthy of admiration.

But like a fool, Niu Jinda would not be able to approve such behavior if he did it knowingly that he couldn't do it, even to the point of dying.

As the guard general of Liangzhou, Niu Jinda was responsible for more than 10,000 households in the city.

"General, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has a special status after all. Do you want to send someone to Chang'an City to report it, so as to avoid any accidents..."

"Hey," Niu Jinda sighed, "wait a little longer and spread out the scouts to a radius of more than ten miles to see if you can find any news about the prince. If there is no news in the past two days, I will send a message to Chang'an.
