() On the edge of the Qiang's sphere of influence, a large wave of cavalry surged across the grassland. Along the way, all the Qiang tribes, large and small, hid in their tents and could not get out. After the sound of horse hooves faded away, one or two children poked their heads out curiously.
He was quickly pulled back nervously by the adults.
Po Qiang, the largest and most powerful tribe of the Qiang people, has already issued a notice to them. They learned that a large group of vicious Han bandits will pass by tonight. As long as they hide in their tents and don't come out, they will be fine.
The Qiang hunting people have extremely strong folk customs, and their individual combat capabilities are very good. They didn't take it seriously when they heard that they were Han people, but when the thunderous hoofbeats roared, and a large dark cloud came from the sky like a cloud covering the sun,
Only then did they realize the seriousness of the situation. They each hid in their tents and waited for the gangsters to pass by quickly. Even after the sound of hoofbeats had passed for a long time, they did not dare to come out for fear of finding the gangsters again.
This group of Han bandits is naturally the Three Peaks Alliance that sent troops from Heifeng Mountain. The dispatch of troops from Heifeng Mountain has been decided at the monthly meeting. At least half of the soldiers must be sent to each peak.
Ma Wan has 3,500, Cheng Gongying has 1,500, Cheng Yi has 2,000, Cheng Yin has 2,000, and the four peaks of Heifeng Mountain have a total of 9,000 soldiers. Because all the horses were bought by Qin Xiaobai, except for the main leaders, all of them are Qing soldiers.
1st infantry.
On the Three Peaks Alliance side, Qin Xiaobai has 2,500, Hua Xiong has 2,500, and Honglian Yaoyue has 1,500, a total of 6,500 soldiers. However, because Qin Xiaobai has many horses in Wudu Peak, this battle will be difficult.
The stakes were so high that the excess horses were useless in Wudu Peak, so they were leased to Hua Xiong and Honglian Yaoyue, resulting in the Three Peaks Alliance having 6,500 troops, all of them cavalry.
Qin Xiaobai's soldiers at Wudu Peak are not bad, because Qin Xiaobai has always been thinking about the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the main arms of Wudu Peak are cavalry, so the soldiers are at least proficient in riding skills.
Hua Xiong's soldiers were also reluctant. Although they were Black Wind bandits, they were more or less capable of equestrian skills in Xiliang, a racecourse of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In addition, they were riding docile horses, so they were able to get by.
Red Lotus Demon Moon is in a worse situation. Considering that the NPC population is hard to come by, each one will die. The 1,500 soldiers she brought this time are all players, and they are all girls.
Not only do Red Lotus Demon Moon and Haoyue Guild have similar names, they are also exactly the same in terms of recruiting female soldiers and female players. Qin Xiaobai recalled that Red Lotus Demon Moon asked him to take the initiative to approach the Haoyue Guild, which made him wonder about Red Lotus Demon Moon.
What's the plot?
Of course, the top priority is to rescue the Baima Qiang tribe. Many of the girls are riding horses for the first time, and they are all very excited. However, being excited does not mean that they are capable of driving. For a while, because of this group of excited girls, the team was thrown into chaos.
.
In the end, Qin Xiaobai couldn't stand it any longer and used a Fubo riding technique to barely control the situation, allowing the girls from Xiaodu Peak to at least keep up with the marching speed of the three peaks alliance.
In the dark night, the three-peak coalition forces kept driving towards the distant point.
"We're almost at our destination, why don't you tell us your plan now?" Nearly an hour has passed since the troops left Heifeng Mountain, and the three-peak coalition has almost reached Zuli County.
Seeing that Qin Xiaobai was still busy walking away, Red Lotus Demon Moon couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, Brother Qin, didn't we promise to cooperate? We rushed all the way in such a hurry and arrived at Zuli early. But Ma Wan and the others were infantry and still couldn't get there. Don't we have to go it alone?" Hua Xiong also said.
He looked at Qin Xiaobai and said.
Seeing the border of Zuli County looming in the distance, Qin Xiaobai asked everyone to stop for a while and then said to Hua Xiong and Red Lotus Demon Moon: "Han Sui said that Ma Wan and they will attract at least two hundred thousand troops from Wuwei County."
At this time, do you think Ma Wan can do it? Will he do it?"
"Mawan's troops are less than 10,000, and they are all infantry. Their equipment level cannot be compared with the soldiers of Wuwei County. If you want to hold back ten times the soldiers of Wuwei County for two hours, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky, unless you have to fight to the death.
, but Ma Wan won't do that. I guess it would be good if it can be delayed for half an hour," Honglian Yaoyue analyzed rationally.
"What does that have to do with us arriving at Zuli so quickly?" Hua Xiong persisted in focusing on this core issue.
"Of course it's because they let Duoma play and they put in more effort and delayed it for us a little longer." Qin Xiaobai said hehey.
Before Hua Xiong could ask again, Qin Xiaobai took out a rusty red copper token from his arms and handed it to Hua Xiong: "I will handle this matter, and Brother Hua will help me with the Sanfeng Alliance to do another task."
One thing, take this red copper token and go to the Baima Qiang tribe."
Hua Xiong and Qin Xiaobai were in an alliance, not Qin Xiaobai's generals. Therefore, when Qin Xiaobai asked Hua Xiong to do things again, he specifically pointed out that he was working for the Three Peaks Alliance to eliminate the resistance of Hua Xiong, an arrogant hero.
.
After all, although he is the intermediary contact of the Three Peaks Alliance and he is the one who made the plans for this march, this does not mean that he is the leader of the Three Peaks Alliance.
And this rusty red copper token is naturally the Qiang historical dust mission item issued by Wang Orion, which is said to be the token that can enable the Baima Qiang tribe to submit to the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"Why are you going to the Baima Qiang tribe?" Hua Xiong was puzzled, and Qin Xiaobai explained it to him in a low voice. Hua Xiong then nodded, indicating that the task was left to him, and Qin Xiaobai could rest assured.
And he took out a black wooden sign from his arms and gave it to Qin Xiaobai, not knowing what it was for.
"Hey! What should I do?" Honglian Yaoyue said with dissatisfaction as she watched Qin Xiaobai whisper to Hua Xiong and deliberately avoid her.
"Ahem..." Qin Xiaobai touched his nose. It wasn't that he didn't trust Red Lotus Demon Moon. The key was that this matter was very confidential. It was a big move that determined the success or failure of this battle. He had to find a reliable person to do it, and he knew
The fewer people there are, the better.
Although Hua Xiong has not surrendered to Qin Xiaobai now, he has recognized Qin Xiaobai in his heart. Hua Lao is also under Qin Xiaobai's command, and the Hua people are also close to Qin Xiaobai, and they all respect Qin Xiaobai.
, Qin Xiaobai was very reassured about Hua Xiong, a hero born into a wealthy and trustworthy family.
Honglian Yaoyue is different. Qin Xiaobai still doesn't know her background. Although Honglian Yaoyue shares interests with him now and at least will not betray the Three Peaks Alliance, her subordinates are different. Those girls are all players.
, the player is the most unreliable creature, even her subordinates, the fewer people know about it, the better.
"Master Honglian Peak..." Qin Xiaobai looked at the girls who were all staring at him at Xiaodu Peak with almond-shaped eyes. He wanted to let them rest here, but he still didn't say anything.
Player, if you don't let her fight, don't let her participate and rest here, then what kind of player are you? As soon as you say this, you will probably be violently pushed down by this large wave of girls.
So he said: "Follow me and help Ma Wan and them set the stage."
Qin Xiaobai looked at the number of players in both camps rising like a rocket, and felt awe in his heart. Once entangled with such an unstable and extremely difficult factor, it would be troublesome.
Now we need to race against time. Before the players are formed, they must first pave the way for the horses to play with them. So without any explanation, they mount their horses and let everyone go on the road.
Red Lotus Yaoyue and Hua Xiong both knew Qin Xiaobai's abilities, and also knew that as a middleman, he was the person most closely related to the Three Peaks Alliance and would never harm them. Therefore, they followed Qin Xiaobai's instructions and the torrent of cavalry started again.
, and divided the troops again, one way to the north and one to the south. (To be continued.)
