"The seven of you are the deputy generals of the West Route Army. You will bring your own troops and horses to fill the West Route Army. All military orders are given to Zhao Yun. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy."
"promise."
The seven people looked at each other and nodded directly to accept the order.
It is important for the West Route Army to tell the truth, because Liangzhou can be said to be divided into two parts: east and west. The Han people are more dense in the east. Although the Qiang and Di tribes are powerful, they will still be suppressed.
The west is different. The west is a geographical location, and there is basically no Han influence there. It is completely under the rule of the Qiang and Di tribes, which are powerful.
Yuan Shu also made corresponding additions. In addition to the Yingyang Army under Zhao Yun, the Xianbei servant army also included Ma Chao, Yan Xing and other Xiliang warriors.
Of course, there are also small forces like Yang Qiu. What's more important is that the bandit army is now in the west. If Zhao Yun passes, they will also fall under Zhao Yun's command, so the troops of the West Route Army will be a bit excessive.
Ying Yang's army has 20,000 cavalry, Nangong Bo's more than 10,000 Xianbei servants, Yan Xing and Han Sui's 20,000 cavalry, plus Ma Chao's 5,000 troops, Yang Qiu and Zhang Heng's four people have nearly 30,000 cavalry
, out of the 30,000 elite cavalrymen of the Dang Kou Army, there are nearly 90,000 cavalrymen, which can be said to have accounted for most of Yuan Shu's cavalry.
"Gao Lan."
The West Route Army has been arranged, and now it’s time for the North Route Army.
"The end will be here."
Gao Lan took a step forward, clasped his fists and promised Yuan Shu.
"I order you to be the commander-in-chief of the Northern Route Army and sweep away all the Qiang and Di tribes north of Guzang. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy."
Zhao Yun and Gao Lan are his cavalry twins. Although Gao Lan's combat prowess may not be the best, his attainments in cavalry warfare are no lower than Zhao Yun's.
"Take orders."
Gao Lan was the same, his eyes were full of fierce fighting spirit,
The lord wants to take Liangzhou in one fell swoop, which means that he will definitely encounter a lot of resistance here. If this is the case, then it is up to him to become the murderous devil.
"Du Lin, Liang Xing, Ma Wan, Li Kan."
After naming the generals, Yuan Shu named the four generals again.
"The end will be here."
The four of them did not hesitate and stepped forward in front of Yuan Shu.
"I order the four of you to be deputy generals of the North Route Army. Each of you will lead his troops to fill the North Route Army. All military orders will be given by Gao Gao, but anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy."
"Follow orders."
The four of them nodded and accepted the order.
Compared with Zhao Yun's West Route Army, the Northern Route Army was somewhat inadequate. The Weilu Army had nearly 20,000 cavalry, coupled with nearly 10,000 Xihe cavalry, and the more than 20,000 cavalry of Xiliang's three generals, there were about 50,000 cavalry here.
, it is definitely enough to deal with the Qiang and Di tribes in the north.
"The remaining generals will form the Middle Route Army under my leadership. Wen Chou, Ju Yi, Han Sui, Ma Teng and others will all come under my command and be responsible for cleaning up the remaining Qiang and Di tribes in Jincheng, Wuwei and surrounding counties. Do you have any objections?
"
When Yuan Shu spoke, he glanced at Ma Teng and Han Sui, meaning that you two had better not do anything special, otherwise I will be angry.
"The general will obey the order."
"The general will obey the order."
"The general will obey the order."
First, Wen Chou and Ju Yi clasped their fists to receive the order, and then Ma Teng and Han Sui also stepped forward and clasped their fists to receive the order.
"Okay, if that's the case, let's take action. Take Xiliang in your hands as quickly as possible, and you will win."
"Must win."
"Must win."
"Must win."
Zhao Yungao, Wen Chou and others' eyes flashed with blazing fire, and they followed Yuan Shu in shouting that they would win. However, the Xiliang generals just looked at each other, and then also shouted that they would win.
The war ended here with Yuan Shu, but Zhang Liao was still squatting in the deserted Qunlang Ridge, waiting for the return of the Qiang tribe.
"General, how long do you think it will take for the Qiang people to come back?"
A team leader came close to Zhang Liao, looking at the sky above his head with helpless eyes. On the other hand, Zhang Liao was biting a piece of grass and chewing it.
"It's almost time. After all, we sent people to raid the old nest. They will definitely rush back. There should be news soon."
Zhang Liao treated his subordinate soldiers well and got along well with them. He also knew that everyone was waiting, but there was nothing they could do. All they could do now was wait.
While Zhang Liao was waiting, a group of nearly 20,000 Qiang cavalry were running at great speed. Everyone was covered in dust, which showed that they had been traveling for a long time, but no one paid attention.
What they want to do now is to go faster, faster, because their family members are being slaughtered by the enemy, and only when they return can they kill the enemies and save their families from the fire.
The Qiang cavalry who were on their way didn't even notice that when they left, there was a pile of leaves quietly moving on the edge of the road, and then the crisp sound of birds sounded in the woods, followed not far away by the intermingling sounds of birds.
.
"General, there is news from the front that the Qiang cavalry has passed this mountain and is running towards Qunlangling."
A scout quickly came to Zhang Liao and reported the news to him.
"Okay, okay, order the entire army to prepare for battle. With their mentality, they will definitely reach the Wolf Ridge tonight."
This mountain is basically very close to Qunlang Ridge, so depending on their speed, the enemy will definitely arrive at night at the latest.
"General, do you think they will rest at night?"
After hearing Zhang Liao's order, a team leader couldn't help but ask, if the enemy really wanted to rest at night, this battle would be much easier to fight.
"I'm not them, how can I know what they think, but if I were them, I would definitely choose to take a rest at night. After all, they have to rush over to fight. If they really travel day and night, they have to travel such a long distance.
There isn’t much fighting power left in the past.”
Zhang Liao thought for a while, and there was a high probability that the Qiang people would rest here for a night. After all, people are not iron men. Traveling day and night would do too much damage to their combat strength.
"Then can we steal the camp at night?"
Hearing Zhang Liao's words, a gleam of excitement flashed in the team leader's eyes. As Zhang Liao said, stealing camp would definitely be the best choice.
"Yes, but we must calculate defeat before we win. I just speculated that they camped at night, so we still have to fight them as if they crossed Wolf Pack Ridge overnight."
Although he had made these calculations, he was not a Qiang person and did not understand what they were thinking. If the enemy was extremely reckless and wanted to cross Qunlangling overnight, then they must be prepared. No matter what, Zhang Liao's troops would
It must be taken.
"promise."
After hearing Zhang Liao's words, the faces of his subordinates also became serious. If the enemy really traveled all night, then they would have to fight the enemy with swords and guns.
Sure enough, the Qiang cavalry rode wildly all the way. After crossing the mountain, they came directly to Qunlang Ridge. However, by this time, the sky had begun to darken and the moon also appeared on the horizon.
