Chapter 821
The Narat Pass is located on the north bank of the Jishu River, with vast hectares of Gobi and flat sand. On the west side of the pass, there are several beacon towers left by the Great Wall of Han Dynasty.

The morning light was slightly dew, and the sound of horseshoes could be heard in the distance. Zhang Huan, Yuze Rie, and Yoshinawa Komaro led the guards to escort the prison car and slowly approached.

Suddenly, Zhang Huan reined in the horse and said, "Look!"

Rie and Yoshida looked in the direction of his finger, and saw gunpowder smoke around the mountain pass.

Flocks of crows circled and screamed in the sky.

Zhang Huan took a breath and said, "There is a situation!"

With that said, he galloped forward.

Rie and Yoshinao looked at each other, and urged the horse to follow behind.

The corpses of Turkic cavalrymen were lying on the ground in disorder, and the war horses that had lost their owners let out bursts of mourning.

The scorched battle flag was planted obliquely on the sand, dancing with the wind.

Zhang Huan came on a flying horse, and was stunned by the situation in front of him. He rolled off the saddle, rushed forward, pulled up the battle flag and looked closely.

A fierce tiger is painted on the battle flag.

Zhang Huan was startled and raised his head.

Li Hui beside him asked softly: "General Zhang, what's going on?"

Zhang Huan tremblingly said: "This is the battle flag of the Tiger Division cavalry!"

Li Hui was surprised and said: "What, Tiger Cavalry? Aren't they coming to meet us..."

Zhang Huan murmured: "What's going on? What's going on? Who dares to attack the tiger division's cavalry..."

Suddenly, he raised his head and exclaimed, "No, there is an ambush!"

Before the words were finished, trumpets fired from all sides.

Teams of Turkic cavalry rushed out from the beacon towers and weathered mountain bags on both sides of the mountain pass like ghosts.

Zhang Huan drew out the steel knife at his waist, and shouted: "Two generals, command brothers, prepare for the battle!"

Rie nodded, pulled out the long knife at her waist, and raised it high into the air.

The guards lined up with a whistle, and the archers pressed their feet.

Hundreds of cavalry galloped on horseback, forming an arrow-like formation on the vast Gobi.

Zhang Huan ran to the archer and said, "Calm down, don't worry, come closer, come closer!"

In a blink of an eye, the Turkic cavalry rushed into range.

Zhang Huan said softly, "Come closer, come closer!"

In a blink of an eye, the front row of the Turkic cavalry was in sight.

Zhang Huan yelled: "Let the arrows go!" Suddenly, the bowstring burst, and the arrows were like locusts, and the cavalry in the front row fell off their horses one after another.

Zhang Huan jumped on his horse and shouted, "Shoot the arrow!"

The second row of archers fired random arrows, and the Turkic cavalry who rushed in front fell off their horses.

Zhang Huan raised a steel knife and shouted loudly, "General You Ze, General Yizhi, protect the prison cart!"

The two wrapped their long knives around their chests and immediately rode to the side of the car.

Zhang Huan swung his steel saber: "My brothers, go!"

Qianniuwei behind him shouted and followed him into the enemy's formation. For a while, the two armies fought hand to hand, fighting in a melee.

At this moment, the sound of trumpet guns sounded in the distance, and thousands of cavalry, led by Qi Ge, came out from behind the mountain and cut off the escorting guard in the blink of an eye.

There was a great disparity in numbers, and the guards suffered heavy casualties, but no one retreated. Zhang Huan led the remnant troops to fight fiercely, killing the surrounding Turkic cavalry one after another.

Zigo screamed hysterically with a scimitar in his hand: "Brothers, kill me! No one will be left behind!"

The Turkic cavalry rushed forward like waves, and in a blink of an eye, more than a dozen guards died under the swords of the Turkic cavalry.

Beside the prison car, Arisori Rie and Yoshinao Komaro watched the brothers who lived together day and night die by the enemy's sword. The two held the long sword tightly, with tears in their eyes.

Yi Zhi tremblingly said: "Li Hui, why don't we just stand by and watch!"

Rie bit her lip tightly, the hand holding the knife kept shaking.

Suddenly, Yizhi Gumalu shook the long knife in his hand and said loudly: "I'll help!"

"Yoshinao-kun!"

Rie shouted in Japanese: "We are samurai! Don't forget your mission!"

Yizhi also replied in Japanese: "Could it be that you just watched the brothers get killed!"

Rie slowly shook her head and said word by word: "Our task is to release the prisoners!"

Before the words were finished, Qi Ge led a group of Turkic cavalry to the prison car.

Rie slowly raised the long knife in her hand, and Qigo on the opposite side looked at her quietly.

Suddenly, Rie shouted loudly, the long knife flashed, and the iron lock of the prison car fell to the ground.

She got off her horse, opened the door of the prison cart, and pushed the carts of He Lu and Wu Lezhi down.

In the distance, Zhang Huan, who was fighting desperately, was stunned by Li Hui's behavior, and he rushed to the prison car desperately.

Behind him, two fast horses came galloping, the scimitar flashed past, Zhang Huan was hit by the knife in the back, his body flew out, and fell heavily on the sand.

He opened his eyes wide, watching Rie who was not far away opened the shackles of He Lu and Ule.

Zhang Huan slowly closed his eyes.

Beside the prison car, Rie took a deep breath, sheathed her knife, and Zigo said, "Excuse me, is this General Qigo?"

Zigo said, "Exactly."

Li Hui said: "By the order of Nanshan, the prisoner will be handed over to you."

Qigo nodded: "Thank you two generals."

He Lu and Wu Lezhi stood up from the wheelbarrow, Qi Ge got off his horse and came forward, knelt on one knee and said: "The eagle in the desert, the great He Lu Khan, you are finally back!"

A smile appeared on He Lu's face: "Qigo, you guys did a great job!"

Li Hui and Yi Zhi got on their horses, He Lu said: "You two generals, what are you going to do?"

Rie glanced at him, and said coldly: "Go back."

He Lu smiled and said, "If you let me go, you still dare to go back?"

Li Hui said seriously: "We are acting according to the imperial decree, why don't we dare to go back!"

He Lu and Qigo couldn't help laughing wildly when they heard this, "It seems that Mr. Fujiwara has not told you the truth."

Rie and Yoshinao looked at each other and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

He Lu laughed and said, "You are now big sinners who rebelled against the imperial court. Everyone can punish you! You can only follow me back to Turkic! Do you understand now!"

Rie and Yoshinao gasped and said, "Master Fujiwara is lying to us, this, this is not the will of the Holy One at all!"

He Lu smugly smiled and said: "That's right. The two generals have saved my life, and I will return to Turkic with a certain one, and we will surely protect our prosperity and wealth!"

Yizhi raised his head abruptly, drew out the short sword, and stabbed at his lower abdomen, with a "clang", a long knife struck from the side, knocking the short sword to the ground.

It was Rie who made the move.

Yizhi turned his head, looked at her with tears in his eyes and said, "What face do we have to face these brothers who died in battle! What face are we to live in the world!"

Rie said in Japanese: "Even if you die, you have to pay for your merits!"

Yizhi raised his head and said in Japanese: "But we have no chance!"

Rie said: "Opportunities are for those who know how to endure!"

Yizhi seemed to have realized something, and nodded slowly.

Li Hui put away the long knife, turned to He Lu and said, "The two of us would rather follow Your Highness!"

He Lu said with a satisfied smile: "Very good, with the help of two heroes, why not worry about major events! Alright, right and wrong can't stay for long, we will return to Dulu Wubu immediately!"

With that said, He Lu got on his horse.

All the cavalry stabbed the sky with their knives, shouting long live.

He Lu raised his hand to salute the crowd, the horse neighed long and galloped towards the northwest, followed by Wulezhi, Lihui, Yizhi, and Qige led the cavalry, and thousands of cavalry raised a sand wall on the vast Gobi Desert.

Among the dead people, Zhang Huan's fingers moved lightly.
