"Lord, the army has gathered at the designated location, and the coalition soldiers are staying not far outside the iron ore area!"
"Lord, the cavalry has been found among the coalition forces!"
....
The Xiliang army set up a huge camp in the wilderness. In this battle, Li Xiang will defeat the Qing Army and the Great Wall Army in fear and pain!
Xiliang soldiers can be killed, but they cannot be insulted!
Among Qingsong Laodao and this large army, the Xiliang soldiers were doing their own work in an orderly manner. A huge camp was established in just a few days. There was a small stream behind it, so water was not a problem.
After hearing the news that the Xiliang army had already sensed, the coalition troops quickened their pace, and the Great Wall Legion cavalry spread out to guard against the Xiliang light cavalry.
Prime Minister Li never thought of sending light cavalry to conduct reconnaissance. At most, he would just observe from a distance.
On the flat wilderness, if you want to lay an ambush, you need too many manpower. Xiliang City does not have such conditions now.
Li Xiang just wants to fight with the opponent head-on to let them know that Xiliang is not a force that Xuantian Sect and the Great Wall Legion can destroy if they want!
After the camp was established, the Xiliang soldiers inspected the weapons and equipment. The number of weapons and equipment in Xiliang City was better than that of the Great Wall Legion soldiers. It cost a lot of silver. If you spend that much silver, you can get the weapons and equipment of the Great Wall Legion soldiers.
The equipment is not as good as his own, so what did he spend so much money on?
fifth day
The coalition army rushed to the camp. As soon as the soldiers were stationed, Pang Sheng couldn't wait to rush to the front of the Xiliang camp with the head on the horse:
"The Northwest Great Wall Legion is here, can the Xiliang rats come out for a while?"
Pang Sheng was still wearing silver-white armor, with a spear in his hand that was the same color as the armor, and his cloak fluttering gently behind him. Dressed like this, he would definitely attract the attention of a lot of girls in Daqian.
On the battlefield, it will become the key target of enemy attacks. The more arrogant it is, the faster it will die!
Click, click, click!
The gate of Xiliang camp slowly opened, rumbling!
Li Xiang rushed out of the gate with 300 cavalry guards. Li Xiang, dressed in dark red, was less eye-catching than Pang Sheng, but more murderous.
Fang Tianji seemed to feel the murderous intention in Li Xiang's heart, exuding a biting cold air.
The terrifying scar on his face made Li Xiang feel even more terrifying.
"I never kill unknown people!" Pang Sheng saw Li Xiang rushing out. He had seen Li Xiang's portrait and knew that the person in front of him was Li Xiang, but he still had to say this.
It's not that he looks down on people outside the Northwest Pass, but that except for a few people, there really aren't those few people outside this pass who are worthy of his respect.
"drive!"
Li Xiang didn't say a word. The cavalry around him stopped behind, and he rushed forward alone. Xing Liao was very fast. He was more than a hundred meters away, but he was already in the middle in a few breaths.
Seeing that Li Xiang rushed over without his bodyguards, Pang Sheng's face was filled with joy and he galloped forward. If he captured the lord of Xiliang City in front of him, this battle would most likely be over.
On the surface, he despised Xiliang City, but in fact he was very wary of Xiliang City. If Xiliang City was not strong, wouldn't the Qing Army have to join forces with them to attack Xiliang City?
The purpose of both sides' actions was to destroy Xiliang City in one fell swoop without giving Xiliang City a chance to react. Only after Xiliang City was destroyed would they feel at ease.
No matter how powerful the Qing Army is, it will not stay outside the Pass for too long. The Qing Army is destined to return to Daqian, but Xiliang City is different. The roots of Xiliang City are outside the Northwest Pass.
The silver-white spear was aimed at Li Xiang. The spectators only felt a flash of light. Fang Tianji was lifted up, and the silver-white spear was thrust into the sky. The attack part was to hit Pang Sheng on the back who had already passed by Li Xiang.
boom!
The true energy in Pang Sheng's body formed a protective aura, and the Fang Tianji's gun barrel hit him. The gun barrel was blocked, but the power from above was not there. A huge force hit his body through the protective aura.
As soon as Li Xiang pulled the horse's rope, Xing Liao turned around and rushed towards Pang Sheng with Li Xiang. Pang Sheng turned around and saw a strange weapon stabbing him. The silver gun with its true energy collided with Fang Tianji. The two weapons collided and separated. Collide again.
The two of them were lined up side by side. Pang Sheng had strong vitality and Li Xiang had sufficient physical strength. His strength was much stronger than that of Pang Sheng. Their weapons were constantly colliding, and their war horses were running on the yellow ground.
Li Xiang used all his strength in every strike, and the martial arts disciples on his body gradually used them. The speed of each strike was accelerating. Pang Sheng's body was covered with a layer of true energy, and the true energy surged. If an ordinary war horse had been beaten by Pang Sheng, The angry anger can hurt people. These angry things can hurt people.
But is Xing Liao an ordinary mount?
no!
The war horse under Pang Sheng is not an ordinary war horse. It is the most famous kind of BMW outside the Northwest Pass. Only the strong men in the Great Wall Legion can own it.
The two war horses were running at the fastest speed, and the two army generals were fighting hard. The two men were very fast, and the troops on both sides were looking at the two men on the battlefield.
Song Cheng slowly pressed forward with his army, and the dark coalition soldiers stood in front of the camp. The archers in the Xiliang camp walked up to the wooden wall, and the soldiers in the camp were behind the wooden wall.
The older Pang Sheng gets, the more tired he becomes. He mainly fights with Li Xiang. Li Xiang doesn't give him a chance to accumulate strength at all. He is equipped with various fighting techniques, and some very lethal techniques require some time to accumulate energy.
But when the person in front of him doesn't charge him with any energy, if he is even slightly careless, he will be hit by that strange weapon.
His Qi can block weapons, but if the strength in the weapons is not enough, every time he is hit, a force will hit his body.
Moreover, the bigger the man is, the faster he is. He has a long weapon in his hand, and Li Xiang only needs to keep swinging it. Both of them have top-notch riding skills. The horses will get closer or farther away according to the form of the two above.
"Pang Sheng is at a disadvantage!" A man in white next to Song Cheng said.
Song Cheng's cultivation was not very high, and he was not very clear about the situation on the field. He could only see that the weapons of Li Xiang and Pang Sheng were constantly colliding, and they had been fighting four or five times in the middle of the battlefield without stopping for a moment.
The man in white frowned as he looked at the situation on the field: "When the generals of Xiliang City attacked, they did not use any advanced martial arts. They only used the most suitable techniques. One blow after another, all the moves were aimed at the vital points. Pang Sheng has no time to display his profound skills, and his strong inner strength can only be changed and attached to his body or weapons!"
"This Xiliang general is a master on the battlefield!"
When Song Cheng heard this, he said: "That is Li Xiang, the lord of Xiliang City, a descendant of the Li family of Daqian General. It is also the person your master wants to capture this time. Because of his status, he cannot be killed. Even if he can be killed, we cannot take action. !”
"Marshal Li Zhen's son?" The man in white showed a little curiosity in his eyes.
Song Cheng looked at the battle and said: "Well! He was expelled from Daqian for some reasons and developed the Xiliang power now, which broke many of your plans!"
"In that case, he shouldn't follow me..." Before the man in white finished speaking, he saw Li Xiang thrust forward on the battlefield in the distance, Pang Sheng stood up with his spear to block, and Fang Tianji thrust forward. Turning around, the crescent blade hooked back, and the silver-white spear was hooked.
Li Xiang pulled hard, and the spear in Pang Sheng's hand was released. While using it to move back, Li Xiang used his waist as a tool to turn the Fang Tianji. When the Fang Tianji was retracted a little, with the power of both hands, the tail of the halberd was lifted. He hit Pang Sheng hard on the chest.
Bang!
Pang Sheng flew backwards from his horse. The horse ran away, and Prime Minister Li threw the halberd forward with all his strength.
Pang Sheng looked at the flying Fang Tianji in despair, and a flash of white clothes flashed "嘡!"
The Qingfeng sword hit Fang Tianji, knocking Fang Tianji aside.
Li Xiang was not surprised to see new enemies appear.
He pushed hard on the saddle with both feet, took a long sword in his hand, and slashed with the sword in both hands. The man in white raised his sword to block.
boom!
Waves of air billowed out around them, leaving a long drag mark on the ground. The man in white and Pang Sheng took a dozen steps back. The man in white's hands were trembling slightly, and his eyes were slightly shocked.
The power of this man in front of me is so great.
"dash forward!"
Song Cheng, who was behind, also realized that something was wrong. Two thousand cavalry were rushing toward the battlefield. Li Xiang glanced at Pang Sheng, who was being protected by a man in white, and said coldly: "I will kill you!"
Picking up the halberd stuck on the side, Xing Liao had already run to the side, mounted his horse, turned around and ran towards the camp gate.
Whoosh whoosh!
Arrows rained from the sky, blocking out the coalition soldiers who wanted to pursue them.
Allied forces tent
puff!
Pang Sheng spat out a mouthful of bruised blood, and his face looked much better. He looked at the armor that had been smashed in the battle and was already in disarray. Without this armor, he would have died in the hands of Li Xiang.
"Li Xiang is very strong!" Pang Sheng said after a moment of silence: "I can't feel his realm, but when it comes to combat power, I am no longer his opponent."
The man in white looked even uglier than Pang Sheng: "His true energy is very domineering. When I was fighting with him, I was accidentally hit by his true energy. I just drove away his true energy!"
When Song Cheng heard what the two said, he felt like he had shot himself in the foot. Pang Sheng wanted to fight with Li Xiang because he wanted to use the battle to damage the morale of Xiliang.
At that time, he also thought that Pang Sheng's first-class strength could suppress Li Xiang and allow Li Xiang to escape, but the scene before him made him regret it.
Now the one with low morale is his own side. Li Xiang defeated Pang Sheng, the most brave general in their army, but he was defeated like this.
If it weren't for the masters of Xuantian Sect, Pang Sheng would probably die in the hands of Li Xiang.
Song Cheng knew that Pang Sheng was also doing it for the good of the army, so he did not continue on this issue: "The Xiliang army has gathered here, probably because they want to fight us here. There are about 40,000 to 50,000 people coming to Xiliang City. The number is Although there are fewer than us, the number of elite troops among them far exceeds ours!"
Pang Sheng crossed his legs and said: "With our Great Wall Legion soldiers as the central army, the elite troops of the Green Army as the left wing, the miscellaneous troops as the right wing, and the cavalry troops as the surprise troops, we can support the army at any time!"
Song Cheng shook his head: "I have fought against the Xiliang Army before. The Xiliang Army has a large number of long-range troops. If your unit is the central army, it will be your unit that receives the baptism of arrows!
Your army is the key to our army blocking the Xiliang cavalry. If you suffer heavy losses due to bows and arrows, it will not be good news for our army."
Song Cheng thought for a while and said: "With the cannon fodder troops as the front army, your army as the middle army, and the cavalry on the left, our Qing Army is divided into two parts, one on the right and one in the rear..."
.....
While the Qing Army was discussing countermeasures, Li Xiang returned to the camp and took off his armor and put on clean clothes. This battle was very tiring, but his perception of strength became much clearer.
Gather all the captains together. At present, generals are needed to guard everywhere in Xiliang City, and he is the only one who can lead the army.
The Xiliang army is divided into two thousand crossbowmen, two thousand archers, eight thousand spearmen, five thousand swordsmen, three thousand Xiliang iron cavalry, and three thousand light cavalry.
Ten thousand soldiers of the Seventh Legion, a total of thirty-three thousand people.
Thirty-three thousand troops are also a huge challenge to the logistics of Xiliang City. Li Xiang has been preparing for the war a long time ago. The transportation team he established is also building the Xiliang logistics team.
The Xiliang Transportation Team is now in charge of the logistics of the army. Because of the urgent war situation, the army did not bring much food when it came. All this depends on the Xiliang Transportation Team!
"Lord!" Thirty-three people stood in the big tent, making the tent look very crowded.
"Sit down!" Li Xiang said, and everyone sat down: "The Qing army came in large numbers this time, but it is not invincible!
The only troops in the Qing Army that need attention are the infantry and cavalry of the Great Wall Legion, as well as the 20,000 most elite troops in the Qing Army. If these troops are annihilated, the coalition forces will be defeated without any attack!"
"Tomorrow, the Seventh Army Corps will be dispatched from the north gate to form the left wing of the army. When the war drums sound on the main battlefield, you press forward. If the number of enemies in front is very small, rush directly to the enemy's right wing!
You need to bring your spears to protect against enemy cavalry!"
"Light cavalry, dispatch from the south gate, no need to cover. If an enemy comes to kill, don't fight hard with the opponent, focus on travel notes!"
"The Xiliang headquarters army and I will form the central army! The front army consists of two thousand archers, two thousand crossbowmen, two thousand spearmen, and one thousand swordsmen. There must be a corridor for rapid retreat between the troops!
On the left are two thousand spearmen and one thousand swordsmen, and the same on the right.
Reserve troops, two thousand spearmen and two thousand swordsmen.
One thousand long swordsmen are the rear army, and three thousand Xiliang cavalry and I are in the middle..."
Li Xiang did not know the configuration of the Qing Army, but this did not affect his use of equipment to suppress the Qing Army. Considering the situation of the Qing Army, it was unclear whether they had archers.
This preparation relies on the advancement of long-range troops. When the Qing army comes over, it can turn into a giant turtle formation. Xiliang soldiers all carry shields on their backs. If necessary, they can form a huge defensive formation!
The general formation has been stated, and the next step is the detailed positioning.
Both sides are preparing carefully. This battle is very crucial. If Xiliang wins, nothing can stop Xiliang from going south. Even the Great Wall Army will have to retreat!
If Xiliang loses, they will lose a large area of land between Beixuan City and the small town!
