The Bad Girl's Quick Transmigration System: Traveling Back and Forth

Chapter 257: The Battle of Talas (Gerlu's Rebellion and Yu Shanshan's Retreat)

Recalling the past, the Geluolu tribe had always served as a vassal army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, participating in various battles. Although they had achieved remarkable military success, the benefits they gained were nothing compared to the vast wealth now before them. The resentment of long-term oppression by the Great Zhou Dynasty surged forward like a tide. He began to ponder, "I fought so hard for the Great Zhou Dynasty, but in the end, the benefits I received were not as great as the gold, silver and jewels sent by the Arab Empire!"

The Arab envoy seemed to see through Geluolu's thoughts, realizing his refusal was merely an excuse, driven by a desire for more benefits. Seizing the opportunity, he continued, "If you're willing to switch sides and help us fight the Great Zhou, upon success, we'll reward you with three times as much gold, silver, and jewelry!" Geluolu's last remaining hesitation vanished. Faced with such an enticing offer, he agreed without hesitation, betraying the Great Zhou and joining the Arab Empire. They agreed that the next day, at the start of the battle, Geluolu's troops would launch a counterattack, attacking the Great Zhou army's rear flank. Together with the heavily armored Arab cavalry in the front, they would attack Liu Jing's main force of heavily armored Modao infantry, decisively defeating the forces commanded by the two female Great Zhou generals.

The next morning (the fifth day of the entire battle), Liu Jing had just led the soldiers out of the camp to prepare for battle when she found that the Geluolu tribe, which was originally on her flank, suddenly appeared in front of her and shot arrows and rockets at her camp. Liu Jing was shocked. She did not expect that Geluolu chose to betray her overnight. She was caught off guard and led her soldiers to retreat while fighting. Soon, Yu Shanshan realized something was amiss and rushed over with 5,000 cavalrymen. She told Liu Jing to lead her 2,500 cavalrymen to retreat first, leaving 10,000 Modao infantrymen and Yu Shanshan's 5,000 cavalrymen as the rear guard. Liu Jing refused to do so. Yu Shanshan slapped Liu Jing's horse's butt, and the horse galloped away, carrying Liu Jing away. Liu Jing's cavalry guards followed suit. Liu Jing cried from the horse, "We'll come to rescue you after we meet up with Parposo and the others!" The two sisters bid farewell, and Liu Jing's heart was filled with bad emotions. Although Yu Shanshan had now reached the Heavenly Realm, Liu Jing's worries only grew, and a deep sense of unease spread. She retreated without stopping, galloping towards the direction where Parposo and the others were coming!

Yu Shanshan also formed a battle formation with her 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 heavily armored infantry from the Modao Camp, and fought with the Arab cavalry and the cavalry of the Gelulu tribe.

Yu Shanshan could never have imagined that the enemy she encountered this time would be so treacherous, cunning, and merciless, their methods even more brutal than any enemy she had ever encountered before! Initially, these despicable enemies cleverly used Ge Luolu's rebels as cover to launch a surprise attack on the Modao Battalion without anyone noticing. A torrential downpour of poison-coated crossbow arrows descended upon the commander of the Modao Battalion.

It's worth noting that despite possessing the formidable strength of a profoundly accomplished Xuan Realm cultivator, this commander was ultimately unable to withstand the sudden and highly poisonous crossbow attack. Instantly, several crossbow bolts struck his vitals, rapidly spreading the poison throughout his body. This brave and fearless commander from the Western Regions ultimately died a heroic death from the profound poisoning. His scalding blood stained the very ground of Talas beneath his feet, as if to testify to his boundless loyalty and love for the court and the people.

With the fall of their commander, the Modao Battalion plunged into chaos. The once disciplined and well-trained soldiers were now in disarray, completely losing their fighting spirit and organization. At this moment, the heavily armored Arab cavalry took advantage of the situation and launched a fierce charge against the Modao Battalion like a surging tide. Without the command and coordination of their commander, the Modao Battalion was unable to withstand this ferocious attack and was quickly scattered and routed.

In this one-sided battle, a large number of Modao, bows and arrows, as well as various crossbows of the Great Zhou Modao Camp were taken away by the Arabs, becoming the enemy's trophies and a powerful weapon for counterattack against Yu Shanshan!

To make matters worse, the Arabs had also captured a large number of the powerful winch crossbows during the chaotic battle. Yu Shanshan had never dreamed that the heavy weapons she had carefully prepared to fight the enemy would now become a powerful weapon in their hands. Watching the situation take a turn for the worse, she was extremely anxious but helpless...
