Chapter 101 A strong sense of crisis

The next morning, Gu Xi and Chu Zhao, with a thousand elite soldiers, escorted more than three hundred members of the Turkic royal family and set out from the north of Suiye City.

Because the carriage carrying the Turkic royal family moved slowly, it only traveled sixty miles in one day.

They camped in the wilderness that night, and the soldiers were divided into shifts for patrol. They were fully armed even when they slept, because everyone knew that Luger was nearby and might suddenly rush out and bite someone at any time.

Gu Xi even arranged for people to bury a circle of mines outside the camping area, so that no matter which direction Luger attacked from, it could kill a large number of people.

In the early hours of the morning, everyone dug out the mines according to the markings.

But for several days, the weather was calm and there was no sign of Luger.

On the contrary, the soldiers were somewhat tired due to the high tension in recent days.

Gu Xi felt more and more uneasy.

Chu Zhao analyzed:

"A few days ago, we were close to Suiye City, and Ruger was afraid that the soldiers in the city would come out to help, so he didn't dare to take action. But now we are far away from Suiye City, and the time for him to take action should be coming soon. General Wu is stationed two hundred miles away to support us. If he doesn't take action within two days, he will have no chance at all."

Gu Xi nodded, then took out a batch of instant coffee from the space to refresh the soldiers.

Coffee was brewed in a large bowl, and everyone drank it with a heroic feeling.

That night, everything was peaceful again.

Everyone thought that maybe Ruger was scared and didn't dare to come.

After all, the Turks had been destroyed, and he could not achieve anything with only the 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.

But Gu Xi's uneasiness became more and more intense, it was a strong sense of crisis.

On the last night, Chu Zhao sent a letter to Wu Chi, ordering him to organize his troops and set out to the edge of the desert to be ready for support. If there was a signal for a battle here, he was to charge immediately.

As long as they get through tonight, they will be safe tomorrow.

As the night deepened, the soldiers around the campfire gradually fell asleep.

Sitting in the modern office, Gu Xi, who had just finished lunch, felt a strong sense of oppression.

This is the first time I feel like this.

Not good! The people resting in the other world might be in danger.

Gu Xi quickly lay down on the table to take a nap. Just as he fell asleep, he felt a gust of cold wind blowing. He opened his eyes suddenly and found himself on the prairie.

She looked around vigilantly. It was a cloudy night and it was pitch black all around, so she couldn't see anything. However, the bonfire on their side was particularly conspicuous in such a dark night.

The enemy is in darkness and we are in the light.

Gu Xi looked at the dozen or so prison vans, all of which were covered with black covers according to her orders before nightfall.

Chu Zhao also woke up at this moment, or rather, he didn't sleep at all.

He has been in the army for many years, and his sense of danger is only stronger than Gu Xi's.

"Boom! Boom..."

At this moment, the sound of a mine explosion was heard in the west of their camp, flames shot up into the sky, and the Turkic soldiers were blown away.

"Kill! Turkic warriors! The time for revenge has come!" Ruger shouted, and the soldiers rushed in stepping on the bodies of their comrades who were killed in the explosion.

"Enemy attack!" Chu Zhao shouted loudly, at the same time pulled out the fuse of the grenade and threw it towards the Turkic cavalry in the front.

The battle broke out instantly, and the soldiers immediately picked up grenades and threw them at the dark mass of Turkic soldiers.

However, there were too many Turkic soldiers, and no one knew how Ruger had brainwashed them, but they all rushed forward fearlessly and were extremely ferocious.

This situation was completely beyond Gu Xi's expectations.

The 150,000-strong Turkic army, facing the thunder attack, retreated step by step, but at this moment, these people rushed forward desperately, using their corpses to clear a bloody path for the army behind them.

Wave after wave came after being killed, and even with enough grenades, it could not stop the speed of the Turkic cavalry.

Seeing that the Turkic cavalry were about to rush up to them, their guns and grenades no longer had any advantage.

In hand-to-hand combat, even if each of these thousand elite soldiers could fight ten at a time, they would probably not be able to defeat the Turkic soldiers that were all over the mountains.

The situation is critical!

Gu Xi shouted decisively: "Retreat!"

The thousand well-trained elite soldiers immediately stopped their grenade attacks upon hearing the order, jumped on their horses, and followed Gu Xi to rush towards the gap where there were no mines.

When Ruger and others rushed into the camp, they only saw the Chu family army fleeing into the distance and a dozen prisoner vans parked in the camp.

"Warriors, listen up, rescue the Khan!" At the critical moment, he did not forget to shout slogans to gain favor in front of the Khan.

He then jumped off his horse, and while tearing off the black cloth on the prisoner's cart, he shouted:

"Great Khan, Luger is late in coming to your rescue—"

Hmm? Empty car.

Luger was stunned.

Then he lifted up the black cloth on the vehicle next to him.

Another empty car.

When all the black cloths were lifted, Ruger was dumbfounded. It was all empty. The Turkic royal family was gone.

They fell for it.

Luger's eyes widened with anger, he cursed, and then roared:

"Chase! We must rescue the Khan!"

The Turkic soldiers immediately chased in the direction where Gu Xi and others fled.

After Gu Xi and others rushed out from the gap in the mines, they quickly turned and ran towards the Wu Chi army’s base in the southeast.

A strange smile flashed across Luger's face and he ordered the soldiers to chase. However, he did not dare to rush to the front because of the landmines.

"Boom!" The soldier in the front stepped on a landmine, causing another explosion and countless casualties.

But the mines were limited after all. After the Turkic infantry stepped over the mines, Ruger led 5,000 cavalrymen to chase after Gu Xi and others.

At this moment, the soldiers stationed on the other side of the desert were unaware of this and were still sleeping soundly.

Wu Chi didn't fall asleep. He faintly heard the sound of mines exploding in the tent. He turned over and continued to sleep.

Li Dong, the captain on duty today, also heard the thunder.

With a puzzled look on his face, he came to Wu Chi's tent and shouted across the tent:

"General Wu, General Wu!"

Wu Chi's tone was filled with dissatisfaction, and he yawned and said:

"What's the matter? You won't let me sleep in the middle of the night!"

Li Dong hurriedly said:

"I heard what sounded like thunder in the northwest. It was a very strange sound."

Wu Chi snorted and said, "The sky is so gloomy, and there may be thunderstorms in the distance. What's so strange about that? Take people to check the supplies quickly to prevent thunderstorms."

"Yes!" Li Dong put aside his doubts and led his men to inspect granaries and other places where supplies were stored. Halfway through the inspection, he suddenly saw an extremely bright flare rising in the distant night sky.

His face changed and he immediately ran towards Wu Chi's tent.

"General Wu, there is a signal flare. It is the signal flare of our Northwest Army! I am afraid there is a war ahead!"

Wu Chi then slowly came out of the tent, looked into the distance, and saw nothing unusual, so he scolded Li Dong:

"Why are you making such a fuss all night? Are you dazzled? Where are the flares? Suiye City has been taken, so what kind of war can there be?"
