Wang Hongyi once ordered the people below to pay attention to whether there are any barbarians among the caravans coming and going.
This Hu man is here to inquire about information. He has a distinguished status. He is the son of the Hu man Khan who is about to accept the grassland. He is very lucky and has great hope of inheriting the Hu man rule in the future.
Wang Hongyi didn't know this in his previous life, but he still had a heart-to-heart talk with the other person and became a very good friend.
In the end, the previous life Wang Hongyi committed suicide to fulfill his integrity, and this barbarian prince slaughtered the city to commemorate him.
God gave him a chance to come back again.
So Wang Hongyi decided to find him and kill him in advance.
But maybe after his rebirth, his destiny changed too much. Like Li Chengye, his body was taken away by a mysterious person.
The path of spirit.
Wang Hongyi had people search for him for a long time, but the whereabouts of the foreign prince could not be found.
In the end, we could only give up temporarily.
In the last life that Wang Hongyi knew in his memory, at this time, various vassal towns in the world had accelerated their annexation. Especially after being stimulated by Wang Hongyi's title of Lord of Shu, the intensity of the battle suddenly increased a lot.
In the previous life, when Li Chengye rose to power, it was the 16th year of Chuizheng. At that time, Wei Cundong in Chengdu had relapsed and was dying. Unlike Wang Hongyi, who had not experienced a bloody battle and captured Dongyizhou, it was a coincidence.
But it took Li Chengye three years to conquer Shu and become the king of Shu.
But even so, by the 20th year of Chuizheng, the world had already seen a situation where all the kings were juxtaposed. Therefore, Li Chengye fought bloody battles with the King of Qin for six years. The long tug-of-war consumed each other's strength and finally gave the barbarians an advantage.
The Hu people finally entered China and took over the whole country.
In this life, Wang Hongyi had the help of Wu Siyuan and the memory of his previous life as a reference. Therefore, the strange army rose up. However, at the end of the twelfth year of Chuizheng, he unified Dongyi Prefecture. Among the many hidden dragons in the world, he already occupied the first place.
machine.
But this is not enough. Wang Hongyi only won Dongyi Prefecture and the three Shu prefectures. Wang Hongyi only won one of them, so Wang Hongyi must speed up.
Only in this way can we use the power of thunder to wipe out other feudal towns and integrate all our forces to fight against the barbarians.
Wang Hongyi did not forget that the Hu people were good at shooting, and most of them were cavalry, and they were light cavalry with strong maneuverability.
The heavy cavalry he relied on to travel across Dong Yizhou would be kited in front of the barbarian cavalry, and then dragged to death.
Only by gathering powerful forces can we fight against the barbarians.
So... time waits for no one!
Thirteen years after Chuizheng, after spring plowing.
Wang Hongyi then brazenly launched an attack on Xiyizhou.
At this time, it is not an exaggeration to describe him as having strong troops and strong horses. He has fifty-five thousand troops, two hundred heavy cavalry, eight hundred light cavalry, one thousand crossbowmen, pikemen, and infantry, not counting them.
Of course, the attack was only in Xiyizhou, and Wang Hongyi did not need to go out in full force like in the past.
He only sent 30,000 troops, led by several generals, and launched an attack on Xiyizhou in several groups.
Most of these 30,000 troops are veterans, and they basically wear paper armor. They are much better than the big soldiers in Xiyizhou who still wear rough clothes and have little defensive effect.
Paper Armor comes from the Paper Armor Company established by Wang Hongyi.
Over the past few years, the paper armor company has continued to expand with the development of Wang Hongyi's power. It used to produce only a few hundred sets per month, but now it can produce up to 3,000 sets per month. From last year to now, it has accumulated more than 20,000 sets.
Paper armor set.
When Wang Hongyi fought against Wei Cundong before, he only equipped it on a small scale, but now, it can equip almost half of the army.
These paper nails are painted with red paint and are dazzling.
Soldiers wearing paper armor stood in formation, looking neat and majestic.
As soon as they fought with the vassal town in Xiyizhou, the luxurious formation scared the vassal commander of Xiyizhou.
This is too luxurious!
No matter how shocked the two commanders-in-chief of Xiyizhou were, they could not change the extremely high death rate of their veterans during the battle with each other.
You stabbed it with a spear, but it still hasn't penetrated the paper armor.
But if the opponent cuts you with a knife, you will be seriously injured at least, or you will be killed on the spot at worst.
Can't beat in a field battle!
Even if they defended the city, they were defeated by the endless siege equipment used by Wang Hongyi's army.
Finally, of the two vassal towns in Xiyi Prefecture, one died in battle and the other surrendered.
In April of the thirteenth year of Chuizheng, Wang Hongyi occupied the entire Xiyi Prefecture.
While he sent civilian officials to stabilize order, he also sent Ding Huchen as the general to suppress the barbarians, using the Eight Banners system to deal with the 300,000 mountain tribes in Xiyi Prefecture.
Ding Huchen has great trust from Wang Hongyi.
He is the commander of the two hundred elite cavalry left to Wang Hongyi by Wang Zunzhi, also known as the so-called black guards.
So when Wang Hongyi took over the two hundred elite cavalry from Wang Zunzhi, he also cultivated an elite cavalry. However, Wang Hongyi still gave the position of commander of this cavalry to Ding Huchen.
the reason is simple.
In Wang Hongyi's past life memory, Ding Huchen was a loyal minister who was greatly favored by Wang Zunzhi, an old commander, to protect his young master.
In Wang Hongyi's previous life, everyone rebelled against his relatives, but Ding Huchen still persisted. At the last moment, he returned to the company to save Wang Hongyi, but his subordinates ordered a mutiny and killed the general.
Because of such a thing, Wang Hongyi trusted Ding Huchen very much in this life.
Such an important position as General Pingman was also given to Ding Huchen.
Ding Huchen had no regrets. After taking over the task, he promised Wang Hongyi that even if he died, he would definitely solve the Shanjian Clan's serious problem.
Wang Hongyi was very grateful and helped Ding Huchen up with his own hands. He said that although it was important to solve the problem of the mountain clan, Ding Huchen's life and death was more important.
Wang Hongyi told Ding Huchen to take good care of his health. In the future, he would reward Ding Huchen for his merits.
Ding Huchen was especially moved to tears.
Oh, by the way, about Xu Ling who betrayed Ding Huchen in his previous life.
In this life, Wang Hongyi was often sent to perform the most dangerous tasks in the name of appreciation.
After a few times, he died on the battlefield.
There was no fireworks in the whole process, and no one saw Wang Hongyi's plan. Xu Ling died just like that.
Everyone thinks it's normal.
It is said that a general will die in a hundred battles, but a strong man will return in ten years!
Since ancient times, after fighting, how many people can return home alive?
After Wang Hongyi captured Xiyizhou, he did not stop, but continued to attack Longjianzhou without stopping.
Longjian has four counties: Wudu, Hanzhong, Nanjiao, and Chengyang, including Jinzhu Pass, Jiange, and Yangping Pass.
However, although Jinzhu Pass, Jiange Pass, and Yangping Pass are checkpoints, they have no heart.
When Wang Hongyi's army arrived, the southern suburbs and the two counties of Chengyang were almost handed over at once, without much effort.
Of course, a big reason for this is that Wang Hongyi sent 30,000 troops to conquer Xiyizhou, but suffered almost no losses. This was seen by some people in Longjian, so when Wang Hongyi's army passed by, they put up a seal
Surrender.
However, Hanzhong County and Wudu County need more thought.
Wudu County is a powerful vassal.
Hanzhong County has the reputation of "the birthplace of the Han Dynasty". Because of its unique geographical location and the north-south transportation artery, it has always been a battleground for military strategists.
Wang Hongyi's rapid fortune caused panic among many powerful vassals in Qin.
They all sent troops and horses to gather in Hanzhong to assist the local feudal towns in resisting Wang Hongyi's troops.
This is a situation that Wang Hongyi has never encountered in his previous life or in his original work.
It can only be said to be the butterfly effect.
Wang Hongyi fought the hardest here. He fought bloody battles endlessly and paid a huge price to drive the troops of these powerful vassals out of Hanzhong County and completely unified Shu.
