On the grassland, the cavalry of Daqian and the prairie people collided. There were many reasons why the prairie people lost to Daqian thousands of years ago. Weapons and equipment were one of them. After being merged into Daqian, the prairie people never stopped forging iron tools and The pursuit of various war crafts.
They sent countless talented disciples to major weapon refining sects in Daqian to learn the Daqian refining technology. Basically, they can imitate the weapons that Daqian can produce, and the quality is much better than that of Daqian.
The weapons and equipment of the cavalry on both sides are the same. If one were red and the other green, the two cavalry would look like one.
drive!
Li Zhen led another cavalry force and rushed over from the edge of the battlefield. The infantry followed closely behind. The prairie force entangled by the cavalry could not escape!
The grassland was bright red. After two months of deployment, Li Zhen deployed more than 100,000 of his elite soldiers on the grassland in the name of military training. These soldiers disguised themselves as tribes. There were many tribes on the grassland.
The prairie people's army kept their eyes on the defense line and did not notice the herdsmen on the grassland. This gave Li Zhen an opportunity to encircle them.
There were 20,000 cavalry among the 100,000 elites. When Li Zhen led an army of 200,000 to Zhenbei City, the prairie soldiers surrounding Zhenbei City divided into two groups and continued to violently attack Zhenbei City. The other part of the army went to block the city. Li Zhen's army.
The army on the other side was unable to move. In two months, Li Zhen trained new soldiers, and an army of 300,000 from the Northeast also arrived. They grassland people still had many problems to solve internally, and could not send more troops. The Far North Army and the Great Wall It is very likely that the Legion army will no longer guard the pass, and the ferocious beasts will move south again.
In the north, the grassland people want to guard against the two elite border army groups of Dagan, and they also have to pay attention to the attacks of the ferocious beasts. Last year, they joined forces with the ferocious beasts to eliminate some tribes that opposed them. The small tribes that opposed them almost disappeared. , but those large tribes that opposed became more and more powerful as the ferocious beasts moved south.
Many warriors from small tribes who were wiped out joined these large tribes, making these tribes more powerful. They need to have enough internal strength to withstand these tribes and make these tribes quiet.
Without these tribes, their number of troops on the front line could be doubled.
"Marshal, after the enemies surrounding Zhenbei City are separated and the rear defense is empty, can we order the hidden troops to take action?"
A general followed Li Zhen on horseback and said.
From where they are now, they can see the black smoke of Zhenbei City in the distance, and the prairie infantry army has formed a formation in front, waiting for them to go.
"Wait a minute!" Li Zhen said.
The general was a little anxious: "If the marshal waits any longer, the troops in Zhenbei City may not be able to stop the prairie people's attack!"
Li Zhen's expression did not change: "Just hold on, wait for the frontal battlefield to start fighting, and attract the enemy's frontal troops."
"Now that the army of prairie people has not entered the city, it means that there are still teams in the city resisting. Outside Zhenbei City are all prairie people. With Yu Cheng's character, he will definitely choose to burn the entire city.
First burn the outer city, and finally burn the inner city with those in the city who are willing to die together. Zhenbei City belongs to our Daqian city, and he will never let such an important city fall into the hands of the grassland people. If the grassland people want to, they can, After he burns everything in the city, the prairie people will build it again!"
Hearing Li Zhen's words, the generals next to him had a bitter taste in their mouths. They knew very well what kind of person Yu Cheng was. This extreme personality made him only serve in the border army. If he went to the local army, he would probably not even have one in that place. There will be no soldiers left.
"Let the people from the Great Wall Legion come up!" Li Zhen looked at the prairie people's infantry phalanx. The battle between the infantry depends on which side breaks the enemy's formation first. Among the army, the troops in the Great Wall Legion are the most powerful. He All his elite troops are behind the enemy.
If these newly reorganized troops are allowed to take the lead, it is very likely that the troops under their command will be defeated first.
With Li Zhen's command, the soldiers rode towards the army behind and brought the eldest son of the Zhao family to the edge of Li Zhen.
"I want to use the Great Wall Army as the vanguard. Do you agree?"
The eldest son of the Zhao family is wearing a red armor, which is similar to the equipment of the Daqian cavalry. He will not look very flashy on the battlefield. Those who wear flashy clothes on the battlefield are all masters, because if they were not masters, they would have been killed long ago.
What you see on the battlefield is not the face but the color of the clothes of the soldiers on both sides. The more showy a person is, the more they attract the enemy's attention.
Mr. Zhao cupped his hands and said, "Everything must be obeyed by the Marshal!"
Li Zhen smiled and said: "Okay, no matter what the outcome of this battle is, I will ask the imperial capital for credit for you!"
"Thank you, sir!" The eldest son of the Zhao family said with his hands crossed, his face full of joy. The Zhao family can only be regarded as a local powerhouse. There are many families like them in Daqian. Their goal is to become the Li family. Such a general.
This requires a lot of credit. Why his father is willing to take him north is not just for credit, otherwise they can use the excuse of a vicious beast to attack him and push back the order.
The Great Wall built by the Great Wall Legion was also to prevent ferocious beasts. The number of ferocious beasts in the snow forest is no less than that of the ferocious beasts on the ice sheet, but they rarely riot.
Having Li Zhen ask for credit means that he bears the mark of the Li family, so he can enjoy the shade under the big tree!
"Go back and ask General Zhao to prepare. This battle is related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Zhenbei City!" Li Zhen said.
"Yes!" The eldest son Zhao was only the nominal leader of this army. The real commander of the army was the eldest son's seventh uncle, Zhao Richeng.
Soon the army of prairie people arrived. The prairie people's infantry phalanx was arranged on the vast grassland according to the formation of a thousand men. The archer phalanx was behind the infantry phalanx. There was room for space between the large phalanxes. The passage with four horses running parallel to each other is a corridor left for cavalry and archers.
The troops behind Da Gan walked over slowly, and with the cavalry in front, the infantry could prepare comfortably without having to worry about the prairie people coming to kill them when they were arranging their troops.
If the prairie infantry should rush forward at this time, Li Zhen would rush forward with the cavalry without hesitation. The cavalry generally would not rush into the formation, but this does not mean that they would not rush into the formation.
If the infantry is in formation and the cavalry rushes forward, it will be considered a victory. The fate of the general cavalry will not be much better. The infantry's spears are not used as decorations.
The best time for the cavalry to charge is when the enemy is out of formation or has been broken through by one's own army. At this time, the enemy's spear formation is not around, so this is the best time for the cavalry to charge.
As long as the infantry does not form a large formation in the field, they will be on the weak side when facing cavalry.
When the prairie people saw the Daqian soldiers forming up in a leisurely manner, even if they wanted to charge forward, they could not do so when they saw the Daqian cavalry in the direction.
The quality of the war horses in Daqian is even better than theirs. The Daqian cavalry can compete with their best cavalry. If the number of Daqian cavalry were not large, the prairie cavalry would not even fight against the Daqian cavalry.
The 30,000 cavalrymen led by Li Zhen made the prairie cavalry afraid to move. They could only watch the large cadres of troops arranged. There was an extra patch of red on the grassland. The bright red armor of the cadres was very bright on the battlefield. At the same time, the majestic momentum suppressed the grassland. The army of people.
These soldiers are currently the most powerful force in the entire north of Daqian, and they are also the last force.
"kill!"
The large formation was laid out, with the troops of the Great Wall Legion in the middle of Daqian's army. Thirty-five thousand infantry troops formed thirty-five small square formations. The remaining five thousand archers were divided into two square formations and followed at the end. On the side are ten thousand Great Wall cavalry.
On the other side, under the command of Li Zhen, an army of 50,000 people attacked the enemy army from the right side. On the left side, 50,000 troops followed Li Zhen and headed straight for the south city of Zhenbei City in the distance.
The whole grassland is full of Dagan and prairie people soldiers, green and red are mixed together, and a shower of arrows flies in the sky from time to time.
Li Zhen led 50,000 troops and 30,000 cavalry to bypass the battlefield. Outside the east city gate, there were troops of prairie people. Under the wall of Zhenbei City, a large number of prairie people rushed to the city wall. There were still some large soldiers in the city who resisted. If you can't defend it, then kill a few more prairie people in street fighting to accompany you down.
At the same time, the soldiers of the Far North Army threw open flames on the houses. Thick fireworks rose from the outer city of Zhenbei City, which was the last resistance of the Far North Army.
Yu Cheng led five hundred people to guard the inner city gate of the North City. The inner city was built when Dagan unified the grasslands. The people living in the inner city are Dagan people, while the people living in the outer city are grassland people. The inner city Prairie people cannot come in.
The inner city can accommodate about 100,000 people. Now the people in Zhenbei City who do not want to fall into the hands of the prairie people have all gathered in the inner city. The city gate has been blocked. People inside can't get out, and people from outside can't get in.
The people in the inner city are waiting for the last step. They would rather die in the fire than in the hands of those prairie people.
The billowing smoke plunged the city into flames. Seeing the black smoke outside, those in the inner city knew that the outside had reached the final step. The city lord on the inner city wall brought more than a thousand men back from the front line. They held in their hands Torches, when all the troops outside were killed, they would throw the torches down.
After two months of fighting, the young men in the city defended the city together with the soldiers of the Far North Army. The entire city ordered young men as young as thirteen and even seniors in their sixties to rush to the battlefield.
The average age is around a hundred years old, and the age of martial arts practitioners will increase with their cultivation level.
In their sixties, their strength and vitality have declined drastically. At this age, it is time to take a break, but because of the war, they picked up weapons again and followed the soldiers of the Far North Legion into battle to kill the enemy.
The heroes in the city received the news early and stayed away from Zhenbei City.
In a restaurant in the city, a group of people wearing Taoist robes looked at the thick smoke rising in the distance. The weapons they held were a little white. They could not take action. A large group of grassland masters outside the city were waiting for them to take action.
"Master, is there really nothing we can do?" an ordinary-looking young man asked with his head lowered.
The white-haired old Taoist priest sighed: "Take care of yourself and let's leave the city!"
They are all practitioners. As long as they don't fall into the prairie people's formation, the prairie people can't stop them.
"Brother, when you enter the world of monasticism, you should put aside worldly things. This is a conflict between Daqian and the grassland people. It's better for us monastics not to get involved!" The handsome young man whispered to the ordinary-looking young man. the young man said.
"That's right, let's get ready to leave!" A girl on the side came over with a bit of displeasure in her eyes: "The grassland is so big, how can we find Master Qingsong's uncle alone?"
The handsome young man said helplessly: "I told Master that we could contact the leaders of the major tribes on the grassland and ask them to help us search for it, but Master is unwilling!"
"Let the thief go look for the property?" The ordinary-looking young man glanced at the handsome young man and said, "Are you looking for your uncle or sending your uncle away?"
"Senior brother, what are you talking about?" The girl looked at the ordinary-looking young man with dissatisfaction: "Junior brother, aren't you just trying to find your uncle as soon as possible?"
The handsome young man said with some self-reproach: "Senior sister, senior brother is right. The disappearance of our uncle on the grassland is related to the masters on the grassland. It is indeed a problem to let them go to find our uncle."
"You also wanted to find my uncle as soon as possible. That's right..."
The ordinary-looking young man stood up and saw a Daqian soldier staggering forward on the street not far away, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.
The young man jumped out without thinking and landed on the street. They could not take action against the prairie people, but they could treat some Daqian soldiers. The Daqian soldiers saw a person suddenly appear in front of them, and looked up and saw that it was a Taoist priest.
"I mean no harm." The young man said immediately after looking at the soldier's wary eyes.
"Is the Taoist Master a Daqian person?" After the Prairie People merged into Daqian, many Prairie People chose to enter Taoist sects, and there were Prairie People in many Taoist sects.
The young man said: "Yes!"
After the soldier hesitated for a while, he still didn't know if he could reach the North City gate with his injuries. Although twenty people were sent, it was still unknown whether they could reach the North City gate. The reinforcements had already rushed outside, and they were afraid that the people in the city would get there first. Set fire to commit suicide.
The soldier thought and looked up at the young man: "Master Taoist, I am the vanguard scout of the First Route Army under Marshal Li Zhen. I came here on the order of General Xie, the vanguard officer, to inform General Yu Cheng that the army has reached the outside of the city and is now fighting with the enemy. If we fight together, we can reach the city in an hour at most, and I hope the general will guard it for another hour!"
"Taoist Priest, if you are free, can you go and let me know. If something happens, it's okay. There are nineteen other people leaving this time. They should be able to deliver the news."
"Reinforcements have really arrived?" The young man couldn't believe it when he heard the soldier's words.
The soldier nodded: "The marshal has started his layout two months ago. Now the army is surrounding the grassland army in Zhenbei City. This battle is to take Zhenbei City back into our hands."
"Okay!" the young man shouted, and the civilians in the city would naturally be safe when the reinforcements arrived: "Mighty man, I will go and ask the master for instructions. With the power of master's Qinggong, you can reach the north gate in just a cup of tea. The strong man can get there. Rest upstairs!”
The young man said and quickly returned upstairs. Regardless of the brothers and sisters in the hall, he walked into the place where the master and his party were...
