Seeing the leader of the Shaodang Qiang being beheaded by Feng Wuze, the leader of the Zhongling Qiang was shocked and relieved at the same time.
The Qiang tribe only has two extraordinary generals, one is him and the other is leader Shao He Qiang.
Shao He Qiang and Shaodang Qiang have been friends for generations, while Zhong Ling Qiang and Zhong Qiang are closely related. These are the two largest forces of the Qiang people.
If the leader of Shaodang Qiang breaks through to the transcendent realm, then the balance of strength between the two sides will be broken, and Zhongling Qiang will most likely be pulled down from the throne of alliance leader by Shao He Qiang and Shaodang Qiang.
Feng Wuze killed Shaodang Qiang leader. Although it weakened the strength of the Qiang people, it also helped him to a certain extent.
However, the Zhongling Qiang leader had no intention of thanking Feng Wuze, and instead mobilized more troops to surround him.
Looking at the boundless Qiang cavalry coming from all directions, Feng Wuze did not show the slightest panic on his face. He calmly commanded the army to shrink the defense line and charge into the battle himself.
"All of them die!" Feng Wuze waved his sword, and the bright light of the sword was like a rainbow piercing the sun, crushing all the Qiang cavalry with a radius of nearly ten meters into powder.
"Don't look back, charge forward with me!" Feng Wuze shouted. There were nearly 200,000 Qiang riders. If they were surrounded, they would die of exhaustion sooner or later.
Zhao Jun remained silent, his eyes fixed on the front, and he kept slashing with the scimitar in his hand, cutting a bloody path through the Qiang cavalry.
…
"I wonder if Feng Wuze can complete the task!" At the top of Yuzhong City, Meng Ao looked into the distance worriedly, clenching and separating his hands. He now regretted letting Feng Wuze complete this task.
Feng Wuze is just a young man in his twenties, and it is his first time to lead an army alone. If there are shortcomings, how will he face Feng Ting in the court in the future?
"General, don't worry, General Feng is not a short-lived minister." Lu Zhonglian said with a smile.
"General, Major General Meng Wu and General Qingshe are sending a message." At this time, a messenger ran over.
"Okay! Okay! Okay! Meng Wu and Qingshe have already led their troops to set off. It's time for us to set off too." Meng Ao opened the letter, stroked his beard with his left hand, and laughed.
"If everything goes well, after this battle, there will be no foreign aggression in the southwest of our Zhao country for a hundred years." Lu Zhonglian also said with a smile.
"Send the order and the whole army will go out of the city to fight the Qiang cavalry." Meng Ao ordered.
…
"Fire the arrow!"
Zhao Jun retreated to the southeast while shooting arrows to interfere with the Qiang cavalry's pursuit. However, there were too many Qiang cavalry and the role of bows and arrows was limited.
The two sides chased and escaped until dusk. Zhao Jun did not get any water and got into a valley.
"Leader, the Zhao army has entered the valley between Maxian Mountain and Xinglong Mountain." Qiang Qi reported.
"Chief Shaohe Qiang and I will lead the army to continue the pursuit. Chief Zhong Qiang, you lead the rest of the army to support the Zhao army outside to prevent the Zhao army from getting reinforcements." Chief Zhongling Qiang thought for a moment, leaving 20,000 troops for Chief Zhong Qiang, and led
The rest of the army pursued them into the valley.
Zhao Jun ran for a day and was exhausted. Many of his horses were killed. At this time, the Zhongling Qiang leader was unwilling to give up the pursuit.
"Leader, go with peace of mind." Leader Zhong Qiang said, patting his chest.
"General, they are chasing in." The general looked back and said excitedly.
"Don't look back, keep running away." Feng Wuze said in a deep voice, "Darkness has fallen at this time, and the Qiang cavalry can't pursue them for long. We will dismount and rest after we retreat some distance."
Zhao Jun brought one man and two horses this time. Many of the horses were exhausted during the retreat. If they continued to run, the remaining horses would not be able to last long.
As night gradually fell, the Zhao army and the Qiang cavalry stopped. The men and horses cuddled together, nibbling cold food, while the team doctor bandaged the injured soldiers.
Those who were able to escape all the way here, even if they were injured, were only slightly injured, and those who were seriously injured would have died on the road.
Feng Wuze raised his head and took a gulp of water, swallowed the food hard, took out the map from his arms, and started reading with a torch.
"How far are we from here?" Feng Wuze pointed to the narrowest valley between Majian Mountain and Xinglong Mountain and looked at the guide.
Although they have introduced the main force of Qiang cavalry into the valley, they have not yet completed their mission.
In addition, they had to rush to the narrowest points of Majian Mountain and Xinglong Mountain to garrison and block the Qiang cavalry's breakout. They would not complete their mission until reinforcements arrived.
"One and a half hours during the day is enough. If we travel at night, the fastest it will take is three hours." The guide said to Feng Wuze.
"Send the order and let the whole army rest for an hour and then rush on the road overnight." Feng Wuze said in a deep voice.
No one raised any objections. Everyone drank water or ate dry food silently, and fed the war horses at the same time. After eating half full, they sat aside and rested against stones or horses. No one made any noise.
An hour later, Feng Wuze slowly stood up.
Before he could give the order, the surrounding Zhao troops began to stand up one after another, arrange their equipment, and then looked at Feng Wuze quietly.
"Let's go!" Feng Wuze ordered, taking the lead and rushing forward.
At the same time, Meng Ao led the Zhao army to secretly approach Maxian Mountain and Xinglong Mountain.
The road was difficult to walk at night and it was a strange place. Meng Ao and Touman personally opened the way in front of them, and Zhao Jun followed them, marching slowly.
It was not until the early morning of the next day that Zhao Jun finally arrived not far from Xinglong Mountain.
"General, there are Qiang cavalry stationed in front." Touman pointed to the Qiang cavalry camp not far away and said.
"Looking at the scale, there should be 20,000 to 30,000 people. It's not a big problem." Meng Ao said, "Meng Qi, Jiang Wen."
"The final general is here." The two generals took a step forward and said with clasped fists.
"You two each lead an army of 10,000 to block all the ravines and canyons leading to the outside world in the Mabit Mountains and Xinglong Mountains." Meng Ao ordered.
"No." The two of them clasped their fists and saluted, then led their troops away.
"Lu Gan." Meng Ao looked at a general beside him.
"The end will be here."
"Immediately lead the Xuanjia Army to meet Feng Wuze and block the exit of the Qiang Cavalry with him," Meng Ao said.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "No." Lu Gan said with his fists clasped, and led the Xuanjia Army to leave.
"Military advisor." Meng Ao looked at Lu Zhonglian.
"My subordinate is here." Lu Zhong said with his fists clasped.
Although his official position was higher than that of Meng Ao, he still had to call himself a subordinate because Meng Ao was the commander-in-chief and he was the military advisor.
"Immediately send a letter to the governor of Longxi County and ask him to recruit 50,000 civilians to rush here within three days to participate in the siege of the Qiang cavalry." Meng Ao ordered again.
This is the final stage and nothing can go wrong.
Although Meng Ao was confident enough to surround the Qiang cavalry, he still decided to recruit civilian men to ensure that nothing went wrong.
"No." Lu Zhonglian said.
"Touman, lead Zhao Feiqi and seven thousand cavalry around to the side of Mabit Mountain. In half an hour, launch the attack on time." Meng Ao said to Touman.
"No." Touman said, cupping his fists.
At three o'clock in the morning, the Qiang people were still sleeping soundly, and only a few Qiang cavalry were patrolling listlessly.
At this moment, the thunderous sound of war drums came from all directions, awakening all the Qiang riders from their sleep.
Immediately afterwards, the boundless Zhao army rushed toward them like a flood that burst a dam.
"Why did Zhao Jun appear here!"
"Everyone, run quickly, Zhao Jun is coming!"
"Go and notify the leader quickly, inform the leader quickly, Zhao Jun is here!"
The panicked Qiang cavalry rushed out of the tent like headless flies and rushed towards the stable. Before they could reach the stable, they were baptized by a hail of arrows from Zhao Jun.
The Shesheng camp stood in the distance, and the rain of arrows that covered the sky rushed toward the Qiang cavalry like locusts, shooting one Qiang cavalry to the ground one after another.
Immediately afterwards, Touman led Zhao Feiqi to charge over.
At this time, Zhao Feiqi was not a complete army of military souls, but it was not something that these second-rate cavalry could resist. They saw streaks of cold light passing by the Qiang Qi's neck, and heads flying into the air one after another.
The ferocious Zhao army rushed into the sheepfold like ferocious wolves, biting madly and harvesting the lives of the Qiang cavalry.
Before the Qiang cavalry could react, they fell into a pool of blood one after another.
At the same time, Meng Ao also led the Youyun Iron Cavalry to charge.
If Zhao Feiqi has some skills, then Youyun cavalry doesn't even have any skills at all. He just goes on a rampage, raises his horse's hooves as big as a bowl, and tramples a Qiang cavalry under his hooves with a wave of his horse.
, the Qiang cavalry fell down like mowing grass.
Leader Zhong Qiang tried his best to organize a counterattack, but the gap between the two sides was too great.
The gap in physical fitness, the gap in equipment, the gap in combat skills, the gap in generals...
The only thing that Qiang cavalry could compete with Zhao Jun, and even vaguely surpass Zhao Jun, was their riding skills. Now they were crushed by Zhao Jun with cheating methods such as stirrups and high bridge saddles.
With this kind of all-round crushing, even a famous general from the Central Plains would be unable to do anything, not to mention that leader Zhong Qiang cannot be called a famous general at all.
By the time leader Zhong Qiang realized that nothing could be done and prepared to escape, it was already too late.
Zhao Jun has surrounded them and blocked the Qiang Cavalry's retreat.
"Surrender or die!" Meng Ao pointed at leader Zhong Qiang, glanced at Yuhun next to him, and motioned for the other party to translate.
Yuhun quickly translated Meng Ao's words to leader Zhong Qiang.
"I surrender." Leader Zhong Qiang said quickly.
It was better to die than to live, and he had no intention of sacrifice.
"Tie them up." Meng Ao waved his hand and said, then looked at Yuhun, "Tell them that they will not be killed if they surrender, but those who resist will be killed without mercy."
"If you surrender, you will not be killed. Those who stubbornly resist will be killed without mercy!" Yuhun said loudly to the Qiang Qi.
Upon hearing this, the Qiang cavalry laid down their weapons and surrendered one after another. No one chose to fight to the death.
"Touman, lead your army to block the mountain pass immediately." Meng Ao said to Touman.
At this point, the war between the Zhao army and the Qiang cavalry has come to an end, and what is left is to contain the Qiang cavalry trapped in the mountains, as well as the progress on the Mengwu and Qingshe side.
"Alliance leader, something bad is going wrong, something is going wrong." In the valley, Zhongling Qiang leader was leading the Qiang cavalry to pursue the Zhao army. Several Qiang cavalry, who were naked and covered in blood, chased up from behind and shouted loudly.
shouted.
"What happened?" Looking at the miserable Qiang cavalry, Zhongling Qiang leader suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Zhao Jun...Zhao Jun came from behind and our army was defeated..." Qiang Qi said sadly.
"What!" The Zhonglingqiang leader suddenly felt like the world was spinning, his body was shaking, and he almost fell off his horse, "Send the order, send the order to the whole army, the front army becomes the rear army, and the rear army becomes the front army, retreat immediately."
"promise."
"Wait a minute." The Zhongling Qiang leader quickly stopped the messenger, "Don't leak the news, just say... we give up pursuing Zhao Jun..."
"Alliance leader, they have been chasing them all the way, and the soldiers have seen them along the way." The deputy general pointed at the defeated army and said in embarrassment.
The defeated army pursued them all the way. As long as everyone was not blind, they could see it. At most, they didn't know the specific situation and were still lucky.
"...Forget it then." The Zhongling Qiang leader sighed, and seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
Since Zhao Jun appeared at this time, it was obvious that he had premeditated it. If the Qiang Cavalry wanted to break through, it might not be that easy.
By the time Zhongling Qiang leader led the Qiang cavalry back to the entrance, Meng Ao and Touman had already completed their defense.
Looking at the Zhao army waiting in front of him, Zhong Lingqiang leader's heart completely sank to the bottom.
"Soldiers, our retreat has been cut off by the Zhao army. But our parents, wives and children are still waiting for us to return home. If we die here or are captured by the Zhao army, our wives and children will become Zhao soldiers."
The slaves of the Zhao army have suffered all the humiliation. Do you want to see your wife and children become the slaves of the Zhao army?" The leader of the Zhongling Qiang raised his sword high, and his voice was clearly heard in everyone's ears driven by his inner energy.
"I don't want to! I don't want to!" More than 100,000 Qiang cavalry shouted loudly, and the sound was so exciting that rocks rolled down the hillsides on both sides.
"I hereby promise that no matter who kills one Zhao army, he will be rewarded with a sheep. He who kills two Zhao soldiers will be rewarded with an ox. If he kills three Zhao soldiers, he will be rewarded with a war horse. As long as I do not die, I will go back.
I will exchange it later." The Zhongling Qiang leader said loudly.
The morale of the Qiang cavalry, which was originally low, was gradually mobilized. They clenched their weapons with both hands and looked at Zhao Jun with murderous intent.
"This Qiang leader does have some abilities. Regardless of whether he can do it or not, he has at least temporarily improved his morale, but... such an improvement will not last long." Meng Ao said coldly.
"Kill!" The Zhongling Qiang leader waved his broadsword and rushed towards the Zhao army, followed by more than 100,000 Qiang cavalry.
"Fire the arrow!" Meng Ao said calmly, without any fluctuation in his heart.
No matter how many Qiang cavalry there are, even millions, it is useless. The width of the valley is limited, and the army cannot spread out at all. Zhao Jun can only face one or two thousand Qiang cavalry at most at a time.
Moreover, Zhao Jun is still building a city wall in the rear. In a few hours, after the simple cement wall is built, unless the Qiang cavalry can get wings, no one will be able to escape alive.
Sheshengying stood on the hillside behind Meng Ao, throwing crossbow arrows at the Qiang cavalry for free.
In front of Meng Ao, there were a series of cold crossbows. As the sound of the bowstring was pulled, crossbow arrows as thick as a child's arm shot out, drawing beautiful arcs in the sky and falling into the Qiang.
While riding.
Countless blood splashed and screams continued to be heard from the army. Qiang cavalry fell to the ground in pieces, and the ground was instantly stained red with blood.
