The Xiliang army's counterattack suddenly defeated the new recruits who had just been recruited in the Acropolis. Three thousand people chased seven or eight thousand people to cut down, and the Xiliang banner kept moving forward.
The flag of the Acropolis troops fell down in the chaos. No one knew why. The army was in a mess and only knew how to run back.
The scout rode his horse and ran to Wenjie's position: "General, the Xiliang army is fierce and the frontline army cannot resist it. It has been defeated!"
After hearing the scout's words, Wenjie looked at the frontline battlefield from his horse. He could see that the red army was retreating in chaos, and the black torrent was coming bravely!
Not only the left side but also the right side is the same. The only thing that hasn't changed much is the Chinese army. However, the number of soldiers lost by the Chinese army is accelerating. You can see groups of troops going up. These soldiers who went up have never come down. During the battle between the two sides,
On the ground, there was a layer of corpses.
Wenjie's face was a little pale. His 40,000 troops would not be defeated by the 20,000 Xiliang soldiers!
He has an army of 40,000, a real 40,000 horsemen, and 3,000 elite troops in the Acropolis, but the current situation looks like he will be defeated!
A commander of the Acropolis was born: "Sir, the situation on the front line can make the army retreat. Let's go back to the Acropolis to repair it. There is a wall in Xiliang. If the army wants to attack the city, we have to see if they have this ability!"
Wenjie stabilized after the initial confusion. As a civil servant, he possessed great righteousness and practiced literary skills. His martial arts skills were quite high, but he had only read about military matters in books.
Coming to the northwest to train these 40,000 people was his first time in command of an army. He did not expect that he would be defeated so miserably.
That’s 40,000 people!
"Is there a way to stop the loss?" Wenjie couldn't bear to see his 40,000 troops being killed by Xiliang. These criminals outside the customs liked massacre the most.
"Sir, the best way at the moment is to issue a retreat order, let the army retreat freely, break it into pieces, and then let the soldiers gather at the Acropolis."
"If we continue to have a head-on confrontation with the Xiliang troops, we will definitely suffer in the end. Xiliang is not afraid of head-on confrontation!
The Xiliang soldiers fought for a day, but their physical strength could no longer support their pursuit!"
Wenjie didn't know why he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it. The battlefield was changing rapidly, and every time he struggled for a while, a large number of soldiers died.
"Send my order and the entire army retreats!"
After Wenjie finished speaking, several guardsmen showed a hint of joy on their faces. They could see that it wasn't Wenjie's decision that was wrong, but that the soldiers under his command were too weak. In front of the Xiliang soldiers, they were like teenagers.
Han general.
You can hit the opponent, but you can't defeat the opponent. The opponent waits until your strength is almost exhausted before striking hard.
If you can't defeat the Xiliang army in the field, why not go back to the Acropolis and stand again. The walls of the Acropolis and a large number of city defense facilities can block the Xiliang army.
Another point is that they did not want to fight the Xiliang army in the wild. They broke camp and fought with Xiliang soldiers, but in a short time they lost more than 300 people, one-third of the entire army!
The Xiliang troops in the wild were a bit scary, so they had better return to the Acropolis early. The Acropolis was full of members of their Wei family. During the battle, the major branches in the city could send their servants to help.
In the eyes of a few people, the combat effectiveness of the servants of the major branches in the city was far stronger than that of the troops trained by Wenjie, but a few people still respected Wenjie.
Wenjie's ability in training troops is not low. In just a few months, he was able to train 40,000 troops capable of fighting. It was a pity that he encountered Xicheng, one of the top troops in the northwest, as soon as he appeared on the scene.
嘡嘡嘡!
The piercing golden sound sounded, and the Chinese army that was resisting Black Dragon and others looked confused, but looking at the sky, it was already getting late, and it was time to retreat!
The main commanders of the Chinese army led their troops to retreat in an orderly manner. When the troops on the left and right heard the sound of retreating troops, they ran as fast as they could, with the Xiliang army chasing after them.
The Xiliang army chased them all the way to the Acropolis more than 200 meters before stopping. Along the way there were either corpses or Acropolis troops kneeling on the ground trembling!
At this time, a cold bright moon hung in the sky, and the army began to clean up the battlefield. The people in the acropolis looked outside nervously. They were really scared.
Both sides did not stop to count injuries and clean up the battlefield!
The biggest losses on the Xiliang side were the troops led by the two brothers of the Cheng family. They first fought to the enemy's garrison, then turned around and returned to the main battlefield. If they didn't lose much, who would lose more?
When daylight was about to dawn, the casualties on the Xiliang side were counted. It was found that 853 soldiers from Xiliang headquarters were killed in the battle, 547 people permanently withdrew from the army, and 1,600 people were temporarily lost in the battle.
Of the remaining non-headquarters soldiers, 2,375 were killed in battle, 1,257 were seriously injured, and 1,315 were temporarily out of action, accounting for nearly half of the losses.
Xiliang still has half of its combat strength, and has captured more than 11,200 prisoners. The number of soldiers killed on the battlefield today exceeds 10,000, and the enemy army must have lost more than half!
Acropolis Zhong Wenjie took the collected data and found that after the first battle, his 40,000-strong army only had more than 13,500 people left. Half of them were the army in the middle. The troops on both sides were scattered and scattered, and most of them were still alive.
He was captured by Xiliang brothers.
These more than 13,500 people carried a strong murderous aura. Most of them had seen blood. Even if they had not killed anyone themselves, they had seen the butcher knives raised by Xiliang soldiers.
These thirteen thousand men were his final strength. Wenjie did not go to the main palace of the Acropolis, but gathered fourteen thousand captains among the generals in the army.
"General, your ringing of gold today is too sudden!" The leader of the Chinese army was also the commander of ten thousand men in the army, and the most powerful person under Wenjie. There were originally three captains of ten thousand men, but they all disappeared after the First World War.
The captain said bluntly: "At that time, the morale of the army was unstable, and the armies on the left and right sides were under fierce attack. General, you should stabilize the army first, organize the battle formation, and then retreat bit by bit..."
Wenjie humbly accepted Captain Ten Thousand's suggestion. At that time, he felt something was wrong. Later, he recalled that what he had to do was not to stabilize the rear army first, form a battle formation to receive the defeated troops in the front, and then retreat while fighting. In this way, he would not
There were so many casualties.
Wenjie was discussing and reviewing with his men in the big tent. A large group of senior officials from the city lord's palace and the Wei family gathered together to discuss. The Xiliang army was approaching. They would not underestimate the Xiliang army.
Especially in today's battle, Wenjie's 40,000-strong army only managed to hold off the Xiliang army for a day, and then was defeated by the Xiliang army, with 40,000 people!
Against 3,000 of their elites, they were sure to win. Against 6,000, they were at a loss. Against 10,000 they could only defend the city. Against 40,000 they could only flee.
These new recruits still have some fighting potential!
The Wei family pays more attention to Xiliang. The more they know, the greater the pressure!
The battle on this side has just ended, and the battle on the other side has begun again!
On a new day, the black city defense battle was beginning again. Li Anlan personally led the team to the city wall and fought with the Xiliang headquarters soldiers on the city wall. In one morning, the Xiliang headquarters sacrificed more than 500 casualties to kill the soldiers on the city wall.
The enemies were all driven down.
Li Anlan's tiger body is also full of damage. The soldiers of Xiliang headquarters are very strong. If the internal strength is not comparable to his, with the same internal strength, Li Anlan feels that he will be in danger against the soldiers of Xiliang!
The city walls are basically all built by soldiers from Xiliang headquarters. The troops brought by Heiyun are cleaning up the people in the city. This time Heiyun has gone crazy. When encountering resistance, it will be set on fire. If he doesn't come out, he will be burned to death by the flames!
He was preparing for a street fight. The city wall was difficult to defend. He wanted to use the lives of the civilians in the city and those soldiers to fight the Jiuyuan Army in a street fight.
He did not kill these civilians directly but placed them in the city to prevent others from setting fire to them. They were just like the black city soldiers before, and they were hanging around in the streets and alleys.
At the same time, another point is that for food and grass, they also started a food crisis.
The soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army knew that their retreat had been cut off by the Xiliang cavalry, and only by breaking through the city would they have enough food.
The troops on both sides were fighting like crazy. From time to time, Jiuyuan Army soldiers appeared on the city wall, hugging Xiliang soldiers and jumping off the city wall!
The bloody battle continued, and the Xiliang soldiers stood straight on the city wall. As long as they were not dead, no enemy would want to stand on the city wall!
Gao Yuan lost contact with the troops in the Black City. The Great Wall Army entered the bamboo forest, and pairs of eyes appeared in the forest to look at them. Their every move was under the gaze of these eyes!
Gao Yuan knew that this was the Xiliang scout. They had entered the Xiliang scout's field of vision. He asked his troops to be on alert. This was the Bamboo Forest Sea. This was the territory of the Xiliang army. The enemy was more familiar with them than they were!
Scouts are constantly going back and forth between Aoba Castle and Tupo Castle. Both cities are ready. If the opponent goes straight to Aoba Castle, Tupo Castle's army can attack the opponent's back.
If Tupo City is attacked, the troops in Qingye City will be dispatched to attack behind the Great Wall army, and the two will help each other!
Gao Yuan came to a fork in the road, one side leading to Qingye City, and the other side leading to Tupo City!
"General, the Lord of Qingye City has divided his troops, and some of them are going to Heicheng. There are also a large number of troops coming from Tupo City. It seems that there are some important people in the city!"
Gao Yuan raised his spear and looked in the direction of Tupo City. He was just looking. He already knew who lived in Tupo City, Li Xiang's wife!
"Qingye City!" Gao Yuan pointed his spear at the army and rushed towards Qingye City. Along the way, soldiers approached the bamboo forest from time to time and disappeared into the bamboo forest.
Wu Jianbo of Qingye City breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the news. Tupocheng was where his daughter lived. If something happened to his daughter, it would be a big deal!
While feeling relieved, he began to prepare for military defense. This time he was going to face the legendary legion in the northwest, the Great Wall Legion!
It would be a lie to say there is no pressure, but Wu Jianbo is more excited because he finally has the opportunity to put what he has learned in his life to use!
Under his mobilization, the Qingye Castle troops mobilized, cut down a large amount of bamboo, and sharpened their heads. They waited for the soldiers of the Great Wall Legion to rush in and threw the bamboo down, which was guaranteed to kill many people.
The city also prepared the necessary golden juice, boiling oil, hot water, rolling stones, and rolling logs for city defense. He was ready!
Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind!
The Great Wall Legion also received news when they arrived at Zhulin Tupo City, and went to investigate in large numbers. New news kept coming back!
Rumble!
A Xiliang cavalry galloped past on the three-city commercial road. Liu Zhen stood on the city wall and watched the cavalry go away. A long time had passed since the beginning of the battle ahead. This battle lasted a long time. Xiliang mobilized his energy even more.
Mobilize all troops to the front line.
Behind this group of cavalry, there was a large army composed entirely of soldiers from Xiliang headquarters, numbering approximately less than 10,000.
"Dad, the army of ferocious beasts from the north is moving south, and the troops on the front line of Tiema River need to replenish their rations for a month!" A young man who looked very similar to Liu Zhen, but a little chubby came to Liu Zhen's side.
Liu Zhen withdrew his gaze: "The ferocious beast has gone south again? Why doesn't it go to the west? It always comes to our south!'"
Liu Xugang smiled and said: "Maybe it's because we killed a lot of murderers in the south, and they were remembered by those ferocious beasts!"
Liu Zhen frowned and relaxed: "Wait a minute, go to the granary and ask for it from the quartermaster. Where are Xiao Jian and his party?"
"Brother Xiao and the others are going north with the disciples of the sect," Liu Zhen said after a pause and continued: "Little sister will follow too!"
Liu Zhen was a little angry: "Didn't I tell you not to get too close to Xuantian Sect?"
"Dad, although Xiliang is strong, it is still very weak compared to Xuantian Sect. Is it necessary?" Liu Xugang glanced around: "Is it necessary to be so careful?"
Liu Zhen shook his head: "No matter how strong Xuantian Sect is, it is just a sect. This world belongs to the imperial court and the army. Haven't you seen it yet?
After this battle, except for the Xuantian Sect, the rest of the northwest land will be shrouded under the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
Now Xiliang and Xuantian Sect will not conflict with Xiliang, but after Xiliang completes the unification of the northwest, with the character of the city lord, sooner or later there will be a battle with Xuantian Sect!"
"Dad, do you think Xiliang can fight against the Xuantian Sect?" Liu Xugang said seriously: "The Great Wall Legion has 10,000 Great Wall bright red cavalry (all reaching the first-rate level), 5,000 Great Wall guardians (third-rate level) and an unknown number of guards
Only then can they barely compete with Xuantian Sect and Xiliang..."
Liu Zhen chuckled: "What do you think of the Xiliang Cavalry now?"
Liu Xugang said: "It's very strong. It's stronger than most of the cavalry on the Great Wall, but it can't compare with the bright red cavalry!"
Liu Zhen smiled and shook his head: "They can't compare to the Red Cavalry now, but have you paid attention to their growth rate? Is there also the growth rate of these Xiliang Cavalry?
If you have read the development information of Xiliang City, you will find that they are growing very fast. At the beginning, the city lord had to fight dozens of rounds against a third-rate opponent, but in just a few years, the city lord has stood at the top of the first-rate masters.
!
And your grandfather has decided to join the city lord. After a while, the materials accumulated by our Liu family for thousands of years will be delivered to the city lord!
You should know how to do it!"
Liu Xugang looked at his father in shock. Seeing that there was no joking in his eyes, he suppressed all the doubts in his heart: "I obey my father in everything!"
Liu Zhensong took a breath and looked in the direction of Daqian Imperial Capital. That was where their Liu family's ancestral land was!
