Ashina Simo had been expecting Zhishi Sili to arrive with thirty thousand reinforcements to reduce the pressure on the Turkic army.
However, he didn't expect that before reinforcements arrived, he would receive an emergency report that the reinforcements were under attack.
……
"What happened? Could it be that the mysterious Black Knights had attacked again?”
Ashina Simo questioned the messenger in a deep voice.
"General, it wasn't the mysterious Black Knights of Lianyun Castle who ambushed the reinforcements! They were another group of mysterious cavalrymen. They were dressed in white robes and silver armor. They came and went like the wind, and their arrows fell like rain. They were extremely terrifying, like ghosts!”The messenger reported with a sad face.
"White-robed and silver-armored cavalrymen? I don't remember the Great Tang's armies having such uniforms!”Ashina Simo frowned.
"General, you're wise. They're definitely not the Tang army!”"General Zhishi Sili has said that with his thirty thousand soldiers, he wouldn't be afraid even if he faced three thousand black-armored cavalry, but these two hundred white-robed soldiers are already giving him a hard time!"”
" Not the Tang Army?!" Ashina Simo's eyes widened." Could it be Luo Yi's troops?”
"This subordinate is not sure either, but General Zhishi Sili said that the battle prowess of this white-robed army is definitely not weaker than the mysterious Black Knights of Lianyun Castle!”The messenger said in a deep voice," Especially that leading general. His arrows didn't miss. He was like a god descending to the mortal world!
What was even more ridiculous was that he had actually brought a weak woman with him to the battlefield. Countless Turkic archers wanted to shoot him off his horse, but all the arrows were blocked by his steel lance! How terrifying!"
"A general who brings women to the battlefield? I've really never heard of it!" Ashina Simo asked coldly,"Where is General Zhishi Sili's army now?" How are the losses?"
"The army was attacked at White Stone Beach outside Yilu City. When the military intelligence came, there were already 2,000 casualties in the 30,000-strong army! I'm afraid the losses are even greater now!" The messenger said with a bitter face," General Zhishi, please send reinforcements!”
Yilu City's White Stone Beach was located between Muzhou City and Jingzhou City. It was 30 miles away from Zhezhe City, so it wasn't very far.
" This…" Ashina Simo was speechless.
He was still waiting for reinforcements to help suppress Luo Yi's Heaven Festival Army, but who would have thought that Zhishi Sili would ask him for help!
"The enemy only has two hundred men. With General Zhishi's abilities and his thirty thousand strong army, it shouldn't be too difficult to deal with them.”
Ashina Simo said subconsciously.
First of all, his relationship with Zhishi Sili was not deep, so there was no need for him to take the risk.
Secondly, the Tianjie Army and the Tang army in Zhezhe City were still eyeing them like tigers eyeing their prey. Ashina Simo did not dare to act rashly for fear that all 20,000 men would be sent in.
Third, Ashina Simo was also worried that this was a trap. If the other party feigned an attack on Zhishi Sili and focused on his troops, he would really fall for it!
Fourth, and most importantly, if even Zhishi Sili's thirty thousand soldiers were unable to deal with the enemy, Ashina Simo did not think that sending a few thousand more men would be of any use!
……
Outside Yilu City, Baishi Beach.
White Stone Beach was a low old riverbed that was more than ten miles long. Later, it became a merchant passage filled with fist-sized pebbles.
In White Stone Beach, horses couldn't run fast, and their field of vision was narrow, making it easy for them to be ambushed.
Zhishi Sili's thirty thousand strong army was currently trapped by the two hundred white-robed soldiers on White Stone Beach, unable to advance or retreat!
"I hate it! We shouldn't have taken this path of no return!"
Zhishi Sili was filled with regret.
Of course, he knew that there was a huge risk in marching on White Stone Beach.
However, the hatred for his father's death had caused him to lose his mind. After learning that he could reach Zheshe City and reunite with Ashina Simo faster by going to White Stone Beach, Zhishi Sili didn't think too much about it and charged in.
In order to guard against any sneak attacks, Zhishi Sili had sent out two squads of cavalry archers, each consisting of a thousand men, to patrol the two sides of White Stone Beach.
However, he did not expect the enemy to come so quickly and have such powerful combat strength!
Zhishi Sili had only dared to take White Stone Beach because he was certain that there were no large Tang troops within a hundred li.
However, the 200 white-robed soldiers who had appeared out of nowhere were like ghosts!
They came and went like the wind, their arrows raining down like rain. They first killed the patrolling cavalry archers on both sides of the White Stone Beach, then continued to suppress the Turkic army within the White Stone Beach!
Every time the Turkic soldiers tried to break out of the White Stone Beach, the White Robed Army would appear from an unexpected direction and use their longbows and crossbows to deal a head-on blow to the Turkic soldiers!
Right, Zhishi Sili noticed that each of the white-robed soldiers was carrying a longbow and two crossbows!
In other words, every time the enemy launched a surprise attack, they could fire five to six hundred arrows!
The most terrifying thing was that these arrows had a high accuracy. Many of the Turkic soldiers were hit in the throat, eyes, or other vital areas!
And every time the white-robed army finished shooting three rounds of arrows, they would retreat for a short while…
The speed at which they were retreating was so fast that even the Turkic cavalry could not catch up to them!
Zhishi Sili only hoped that the messenger could find Ashina Simo as soon as possible and bring reinforcements to surround the white-robed army from the outside!
Only in this way could the 30,000 strong army on White Stone Beach display their true strength!
However, Zhishi Sili still didn't know that Ashina Simo had no intention of sending troops.
……
On the other side.
The White Robe Army, which had achieved a lot in battle, was now facing a thorny problem.
"My lord, we are running out of arrows!”
After suppressing Zhishi Sili's army for four hours, the white-robed soldiers had already exhausted most of their arrows.
Although they were still full of energy, they could not keep up with the supplies and could not continue fighting.
In terms of fighting for a long time, the White Robe Army was slightly inferior to the Sha Hu Army.
"Is there any way to replenish the arrows?" Qin Huaifeng asked in a low voice.
Stopping Zhishi Sili's thirty thousand men was extremely important. They would be of great help to Jingzhou, Zhezhe, Yilu, and Muzhou in their counterattack. Qin Huaifeng could not stop now.
"My lord, we only need to go back and rest for two hours before we can replenish our arrows.”The white-robed soldier explained.
Qin Huaifeng knew that he was referring to the System Space.
"Then let the first team rest and give the quiver to the second team to take turns!”Qin Huaifeng instructed.
Although the white-robed army had lost a hundred men, Zhishi Sili's side was already a frightened bird. They didn't dare to casually reveal themselves!
Qin Huaifeng had time to slowly exhaust the opponent's strength!
Although the battle at White Stone Beach was not over, the news of the thirty thousand Turkic soldiers being trapped by the two hundred white-robed soldiers quickly spread through the messengers!
In just half a day, the world was shaken!
