The middle-aged man yelled and was about to lead his cavalry to escape. He remembered what Li Anlan had told him before. When he encountered the Xiliang cavalry, he had to run away immediately and could not fight with the Xiliang cavalry!
Seeing the Xiliang cavalry rushing from all directions, it was unclear how many enemy cavalry there were. All they could see was the black cavalry rushing towards them.
Turn around and lead the cavalry. From the side, it seems that there are relatively few cavalry to charge. The number of black cavalry is relatively small over there, so it is easier to surprise!
When the Guards Cavalry saw the rushing Jiuyuan Cavalry, these Guards Cavalry were stunned for a moment, and then there was an indifferent smile in their eyes.
The lord made a clever calculation and calculated that this cavalry would break out from the direction where the number of people was small. Their number was smaller than the number of cavalry from other directions, but they were the most powerful part of the Xiliang cavalry.
Hold the long spear tightly in your hand. Not many people even among the Xiliang cavalry own the horse spear. The materials for this kind of weapon are rare, the manufacturing process is difficult, and the cycle is still very long.
In addition to the cavalry generals, only the top cavalry can be used in Xiliang. As the lord's personal cavalry, they are the most powerful group of the entire Xiliang cavalry!
"kill!"
The captain of the guard shouted loudly, and placed the sword on his waist. The blade of the sword was not very sharp, and was even a bit blunt. However, the weapon that killed the enemy relied not on the sword's blade, but on the strength of its owner.
And war horses!
The weapons in the hands of the Jiuyuan cavalry can be considered long weapons, but compared with the Xiliang Changshan, the weapons in their hands are a bit short.
Bang!
When the cavalry from both sides collided, the Xiliang cavalry, which had the advantage of having long weapons, rushed forward without moving its long spear. Seeing the increasingly approaching spear, the Jiuyuan cavalry wanted to flick the weapons of the Xiliang soldiers aside, but the long spear had just
Encountered a long tree.
Buzz!
Changsha stabbed forward suddenly, and the sword blade was driven forward by the Xiliang war horse and collided with the leather armor of the Jiuyuan cavalry. The huge force pushed the Jiuyuan cavalry on the horse and flew back.
Changshan was not very good at close combat, and the Jiuyuan cavalry also saw the limitations of Changshan, but they could not get close to the Xiliang cavalry. The comrades in front fell one row after another, and the Jiuyuan cavalry behind them fell to both sides,
They need to avoid these people!
The second cavalryman with a thousand light cavalry appeared on the enemy's side. When the opponent wanted to break through and escape, the second cavalryman had already seen the opponent's plan. The personal guard cavalry divided the opponent into two, which made it easier for them to pursue.
There are more than 2,000 cavalry left to bite the tail of the enemy cavalry. Li Xiang has a huge appetite. They are already here, so let's get into his stomach!
The cavalrymen who had just escaped from the terrifying pressure of the guard cavalry turned around and encountered the second cavalrymen. The light cavalrymen armed with spears or swords rushed into the Jiuyuan cavalry.
The Xiliang cavalry can use a variety of weapons, and each one also carries a bow. They are expensive to recruit, and there is a reason why they are expensive. With their martial arts skills and proficiency in various weapons, they can become a small boss in the big battle!
The two sides were fighting on the grassland. The Jiuyuan cavalry just wanted to escape and could not form a strong counterattack. They were bitten by the Xiliang cavalry. The large troop was trapped and unable to escape.
On the other side, Prime Minister Li led a thousand heavy cavalry to attack the troops transporting grain and grass. Wherever a large number of troops gathered, Prime Minister Li would be there. After a while, no one dared to gather together, and a large group of people lay under the carriage.
.
The Xiliang soldiers did not attack those who lay down. They had to rely on these people to transport the food and grass out.
About half an hour later, the light cavalry led by the Second Cavalry, which was chasing the enemy, retreated. There were corpses everywhere on the grassland, and blood was spread all over the ground. The loss of the grain transport team on the official road was not very heavy.
After discovering that as long as they lay down, those people would not be killed, the soldiers who were transporting food and grass got down very skillfully. They were just trying to get a bite of food, and they were not elite troops. They had no need to fight against these murderous gods in front of them!
"Lord, let them run away!" Qi Er came to Li Xiang with sweating profusely: "The number of people who ran away is probably between 300 and 700, and more than 400 people were captured. The war horses are still counting. These people
My strength is pretty good, but I just don’t dare to fight!”
In the end, when the Jiuyuan cavalry saw that they could not run away and wanted to fight back with the Xiliang cavalry, it was too late. If they had fought the Xiliang soldiers desperately from the beginning, they might have been able to get a few backs.
But when they wanted to resist, there were not many people left!
"It's okay!" Li Xiang said with a smile: "They ran away with some innocuous things. Without this food, I see how they will attack the city!"
Food and grass have a great impact on the army. If the army is hungry, problems will easily arise!
Li Xiang could think of Luo Tiansheng's face when he received the food and was robbed. As long as the opponent's main force did not come back, he would rob as much food as came from Jiuyuan City. This was the benefit of having cavalry.
This food is enough for them to live on the grassland for a long time, and maybe they can eat half of Jiuyuan City's troops on the edge of Black City!
"Lord!" A soldier ran over: "There are 3,800 civilians left in the grain transport team, 2,153 soldiers escorting the grain, and more than 800 people have been killed!"
"Clean the battlefield and take everything you can with you. You can use war horses!" Li Xiang didn't panic at all. The only cavalry in Jiuyuan City has been smashed by them, so the place is safe for the time being.
As long as the opponent's army does not exceed 20,000 troops, Li Xiang will be fine on the grassland and has nothing to fear!
Two hours later, Li Xiang returned to the previous camp with provisions and grass. The captured soldiers and civilian husbands followed the Xiliang soldiers resignedly.
On the way back, Li Xiang was thinking about what to do next. Even if the Jiuyuan County army surrounding Heicheng was cut off, the enemy could still hold on for five or six days. The troops in Heicheng would still be able to hold on for five or six days.
It was to be attacked by nearly 50,000 people.
The troops in the city don't have a lot of food and grass, and they can last for about five or six days. The troops on both sides around the Black City will be in a food and grass crisis. The Xiliang side may be better off, as the troops from Tupo City have already rushed over!
We must do something more to prevent the other party from attacking the city with all their strength!
.....
acropolis
The cities near Jiuyuan City were built by the Wei family, the largest family in Jiuyuan City. This city has been exclusively owned by the Wei family since its establishment, and everything in the city is controlled by the Wei family.
However, all this began to change after Luo Tiansheng came to the northwest. No matter how strong the Wei family was in Jiuyuan County, they were just a bumpkin in the northwest.
There are many families like them in the Daqian Dynasty. They are not willing to give in. They want to develop the family even bigger and make the family stronger!
Luo Tiansheng's appearance was an opportunity. Luo Tiansheng was the eighth prince's uncle. Jiuyuan County had been designated as the eighth prince's fiefdom a few years ago. It was far away from the Central Plains and was suitable for the eighth prince.
But now that the world is in chaos, the northwest is far away from the Central Plains, but it is a rare treasure land. You only need to guard one pass, and it will become a world of its own just like the land of Shu.
The Wei family invested their chips in the Eighth Prince, and the Eighth Prince would become the only master of the northwest.
As for King Jiuyuan, who had been kind to them, he could only say sorry. If King Jiuyuan was willing to give up everything and become his idle prince, the Wei family would be willing to say a few nice words.
But facts have proven that King Jiuyuan is unwilling to give up everything in his hands. With an army of 100,000 in his hands, he still has the power to fight!
Wenjie, the eighth prince's right-hand man and well-known in the Daqian court, took his appointment from the imperial capital and went to the Acropolis to start the northwest arms war.
To deal with future chaos, Jiuyuan County plans to recruit 500,000 standing troops, and will also train a large number of militiamen to ensure that when a war occurs, a million troops can be quickly recruited.
The population of Jiuyuan County, plus the population that is usually hidden, is nearly 20 million. Feeding an army of one million is not a problem!
There is still no chaos in Daqian, but they dare not break the bottom line first. The Great Wall Legion still has a sharp long knife hanging above their heads.
"Master Wen, the vanguard of the Xiliang traitors has arrived outside the Acropolis!" In a military camp hidden in the forest, a scout gasped for air. It looked like he had been running all the way, with sweat on his head.
"How long will it take to detect the opponent's main force?" Wenjie wore a red armor and looked very heroic.
The scout said: "The distance between the opponent's main army and the vanguard is twenty, and they can arrive in about two or three hours!"
Wenjie waved his hand, and the scout quickly retreated, focusing on the sand table in front of him. There were red flags and black flags on them. The red flag represented their Jiuyuan City, and the black flag represented Xiliang City. It was clear at a glance!
With a move of his hand, he placed the small black flag in front of the acropolis. This time, he inspected the troops from Xiliang City. Half were soldiers from Xiliang headquarters and the other half were elite troops from Longling City that had been established by bandits.
After the destruction of Longling City, these elite troops followed Li Xiang, the lord of Xiliang City. The combat effectiveness of the elite troops of Longling City was not weak. If they were weak, they would have been wiped out by the troops of Jiuyuan County. Who would not be jealous of the dragon? In Lingcheng's Yuan Mine, it's just that everyone doesn't have the strength, or they feel that the effort is not proportional to the gain, so they choose not to attack.
This battle is difficult, but he only needs to block Xiliang City's troops. He has 40,000 troops in his hand. If he can't defeat them, he can't defend them?
"Someone is coming!"
A personal guard walked in quickly, and Wenjie said: "Order the First Town to garrison the Acropolis and defend the city to the death!"
"The troops in the second town circled to Weiyou Farm, and the troops in the third town circled to Weizuo Farm!"
"yes!"
The guards run out quickly!
Wenjie placed three small red flags on the map to form corners. The Acropolis was at the innermost corner, and the two farms on the left and right formed the two corners. When the Xiliang army came in, it was like being surrounded by a large army.
The three armies in three places can immediately go to support the other side when they are in danger. Wenjie does not seek to annihilate the Xiliang army, he only seeks to block the Xiliang army!
This Xiliang army was all fought out of the bloody sea of corpse mountains. Wenjie was not so arrogant if he wanted to fight with this army that he had just recruited!
The three armies started to move. They were not far from the Acropolis, and there were only 10,000 troops left in the camp.
"Ahead is the Acropolis!" Zhuo Bufan said to Heilong: "The Acropolis is controlled by the Wei family in the northwest. This family is very large. There are three thousand troops stationed in the city, all of whom are descendants of the Wei family!"
Black Dragon looked over and saw that the walls of the Acropolis were not very high and were just for show. As the capital of Jiuyuan County, Jiuyuan City was the capital of Jiuyuan County. Someone dared to come and kill it!
Black Dragon squinted his eyes and looked at the acropolis: "There seem to be too many flags on the wall! Are you sure there are only three thousand defenders?"
Zhuo Bufan's eyesight was even better than that of Black Dragon, and he could see the various flags on the city wall more clearly: "There is a standing army in normal times, but now it is wartime. Those troops on the city wall should be the new soldiers recruited by Wenjie!"
Zhuo Bufan pointed to a farm that could be vaguely seen on the left: "That's the left farm. Jiuyuan City's food depends on the two farms on the left and right of the Acropolis. At this time, these two places should be full of troops. We need
Pay attention, otherwise the left and right sides will be attacked!"
Black Dragon was not surprised that Zhuo Bufan knew military skills. The two of them chatted a lot along the way. Zhuo Bufan was not only good at cultivation, he also knew a lot about military affairs and political affairs.
Black Dragon asked: "Mr. Zhuo, where should we start our attack?"
Zhuo Bufan pondered for a while and said: "The three thousand soldiers of the Wei family who are really capable in the acropolis. The remaining troops are the soldiers Wenjie just recruited. If these people can fight with the wind, they only need to block the opponent's first fierce attack.
Then the opponent's morale will drop."
"So what we have to do is lure the opponent out of the city to fight, and then rely on the soldiers from Xiliang headquarters to kill them!"
The most difficult thing for Zhuo Bufan to forget was the soldiers from the Xiliang headquarters. He was a first-rate master, but he did not dare to face thousands of elite soldiers from the Xiliang headquarters.
Attracting the enemy army outside, Black Dragon led the Five Dragon Army soldiers to entangle the three thousand elites of the Wei family. The Xiliang headquarters soldiers were responsible for killing these little soldiers who had just entered the battlefield until they collapsed!
Zhuo Bufan believed that the soldiers from Xiliang headquarters had such strength, but it would be difficult to get the opponent's two armies to come out.
Now looking at the opponent's formation, it is difficult to lure the opponent out.
"Go out of the city to fight?" Black Dragon's mind was spinning rapidly. Instead of looking at the two farms on the left and right, he said after a few breaths, "How about we attack the acropolis and attract the troops from both sides to come over?"
Zhuo Bufan shook his head: "There are at least more than 10,000 troops in the acropolis. The defenders have a great advantage. Moreover, our soldiers will need to fight against 20,000 to 30,000 troops. The pressure will be too great!
Why don't we choose a farm to beat up, wait for the Acropolis and a large army to come, send a force to block the reinforcements along the way, and then send our own soldiers to attack the whole way!
It would be better to cut off one of his fingers than to injure ten of them!"
Black Dragon heard some truth: "Then wait until the scouts have discovered two places and the army arrives before making a decision!"
....
Not long after Gao Yuan returned to the defense line, he received a letter from Luo Tiansheng. When he saw that Li Xiang had taken a detour and ran hundreds of miles straight to the Jiuyuan logistics line, he felt that this was very Li Xiang!
With his unconstrained combat strategy, you never know what move he will make next!
Put down the letter and mobilize the troops to go south....
