There was a dull thunder in the sky, and Li Xiang stood outside the gate, with the rain hitting him randomly, his eyes fixed on the rooms in the yard.
Painful moans could be heard from time to time inside, with Qingsong and Yuchiyun following around. The outside of the palace was as usual, but in fact the palace was under martial law, with Xiliang soldiers everywhere. Not even a fly could fly in today's palace.
, two great masters guarded the surrounding area.
This kind of treatment can only be received by the royal family in the imperial capital!
Li Xiang's face was expressionless, but in fact he was extremely nervous. Wu Yating's voice made his heart beat faster. This feeling was more uncomfortable than being slashed with a knife!
"Lord, there is no need to be nervous!" Qingsong could see that Li Xiang was very nervous: "Pindao has already taken care of it, the three of them are fine!"
As soon as Qingsong finished speaking, a child's cry came from inside, and Li Xiang's face showed joy. Not long after, another voice came!
at the same time
On the Qingxi grassland, Zhuo Bufan, as the top commander of Xiliang in the Qingxi grassland, led three thousand cavalry to fight with the invading two thousand people from the grassland Qing tribe.
Outside the battle between the two, a group of young men and women were watching the battle on horseback. On the battlefield, the Xiliang light cavalry quickly distanced themselves, then turned around and fired with bows and arrows.
When the enemy is about to approach, the cavalry speeds up and then shoots the pursuing enemy.
When the Qing Tribe's cavalry turned to leave, the light cavalry chased after them and used their archers to shoot down the fleeing enemies!
Zhuo Bufan strictly followed what Li Xiang said: when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we advance; when the enemy is stationed, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack!
In just sixteen words, Zhuo Bufan felt that a new world had opened in front of him. These sixteen words, coupled with the endurance and explosive power of Xiliang's horses, and the melee and long-range powerful attacks of Xiliang soldiers, he was not afraid of these young men.
Tribal cavalry.
During these days in the Qingxi Grassland, he had had a lot of friction with the Qing troops, but today this was the first time that the two sides broke out and started attacking each other.
The battle on the grassland ended quickly. After several pulls from the Xiliang cavalry, the Qing tribe's cavalry could no longer fight the Xiliang soldiers. When they tried to escape, they were easily overtaken by the Xiliang cavalry and killed them with bows and arrows.
After part.
The soldiers put on long weapons and charged with the Qing tribe's cavalry. The Xiliang cavalry's long weapons were still one or two meters away from the Qing tribe's cavalry and directly stabbed those enemies to the ground.
After killing three thousand people from the Qing tribe, the cavalry quickly ran away from this grassland with the horses left behind by the Qing tribe soldiers!
This is no longer Qingxi Grassland!
"Mundo, these warriors under your command are not good enough!"
A woman wearing jewelry and a cyan veil made a voice as clear as a bell: "As far as I know, this cavalry is a cavalry formed by a force called Xiliang, and it will not take more than a year to form!"
The young man known as Mundo had a confused look on his face: "It's not that my warriors can't do it, but the speed and endurance of the opponent's horses are too strong. If the horses are of the same level, my warriors will definitely win!"
Mundo would not admit his defeat. A young man standing next to him who looked a little thin laughed at him: "In the end, the two sides collided head-on. Your warriors couldn't even block the opponent's attack!"
Meng Duo's face turned red and he looked towards the direction of the Xiliang light cavalry, with some hatred in his eyes!
"Gulina!" Mundo said to the people behind him: "Go immediately and summon 30,000 warriors!"
The woman called Gu Lina, the woman wearing a blue veil, heard Mondo's words, looked at the Xiliang cavalry who were retreating in the distance and said: "You want to take action against them?"
Mondo glanced at the people around him: "They are stronger than their war horses. Aren't you curious about what kind of war horses can carry a two-meter-tall man to charge and run for a long time?"
"I'm not curious!" the skinny young man said nonchalantly: "My black cloth war horse can carry a man as tall as two meters, not to mention a man as tall as three meters, and it can also run!"
Mondo looked at the thin young man with disdain: "If you, the Kurobe, had not curried favor with Emperor Daqian and obtained a group of black dragon and handsome stallions, would your Kurobe war horses be where they are today?
Moreover, the number of black dragon horses in your Kurobu is only 20,000. Look at the war horses you just rode. You can easily form a cavalry of 3,000. They have many such war horses.
If we can get the opponent's horse group, then we can get a brand new color of war horse group!"
When Gu Lina heard Mondo's words, she couldn't help but smile in her heart. She brought these people here and let Mondo meet the Xiliang cavalry, wasn't it just for this moment?
As the tribe closest to the Qingxi Grassland, Gu Lina has been paying attention to the changes in the northwest land, and her family also wants to go to the northwest land and occupy it.
However, the military strength of the northwest is not weak, and even a prince can conquer the northwest.
But no one expected that Xiliang H would emerge from the sky, defeat hundreds of thousands of troops in the northwest, and take the northwest in one fell swoop.
At that time, she wanted to take advantage of Xiliang's unstable foothold and lead an army to seize some places. Then she encountered strong resistance from the Qingxi grassland tribes.
That’s it!
Only this year did she know that all the Qingxi grassland tribes had defected to Xiliang, and most of the tribesmen had entered the northwest.
The Xiliang people built a fortress on the Qingxi Grassland. It seemed that the other party did not want to give up the Qingxi Grassland.
Mondo belongs to the Qing tribe like her. Her father is the chief patriarch of the Qing tribe, which has a population of 60 million, while Mondo's father is the chief of the second tribe, with a population of 30 million, and is the second family of the Qing tribe.
This time, the purpose of bringing Mundo here was to test the power of the Xiliang people on the Qingxi grassland with the help of Mundo.
Also test the ground line in Xiliang!
Not long after Zhuo Bufan returned to the fortress, a team of scouts rode back and delivered a letter to him.
After reading the contents of the letter, Zhuo Bufan immediately wrote a letter that made people cry and sent the letter back to Jiuyuan City as quickly as possible.
The Qingxi grassland that has been quiet for more than half a year is finally going to war. Xiliang, which has been quiet for two months, is about to pull out the long sword again. This time the opponent of the long sword is no longer a ferocious beast, but a traitorous grassland person!
After sending the letter back, Zhuo Bufan gathered all the troops and horses in his hands, and all the farmers working outside the city rushed back to the northwest, while the cavalry went to the hiding place that had been established before to hide.
The cavalry is of no use in the city. It is better to stay outside the city and give the enemy a fatal blow at any time!
On the third day after Zhuo Bufan defeated the three thousand Qing tribe cavalry on the grassland, the scouts said that the cavalrymen felt in front of the fortress, thirty thousand cavalry uniformly wearing green leather armor.
The Xiliang soldiers on the fortress wall are not afraid at all, but are eager to try. They have not taken action in this place for a long time. They compete with their comrades every day. They are thirsty for blood and eager to fight!
Take out your longbow and be ready to shoot!
When Mondo and his party saw the fortress, everyone was a little confused. They had been to Qingxi Grassland before, but this fortress didn't look like a city that could be built on the grassland!
From the tall city wall, it can be seen that the city wall is made of large stones, and there is farmland not far from the city. Do these Dagan people want to grow crops on the Qingxi grassland?
"Mundo, this fortress is so majestic!" The skinny young man's eyes were attracted by the fortress. None of the cities in their black tribe were as majestic as this tribe in front of them!
Meng Duo said with a dark face: "How dare these Dagan brothers occupy my Qingbu land!"
As he spoke, Mundo looked at the woman: "Gulina, it's hard to conquer this city with just the thirty thousand people under my command. Why don't you recruit tens of thousands of people from your tribe?"
Both sides are direct descendants of large tribes with tens of millions of people, and everyone has the opportunity to mobilize militia.
When Mondo saw this fortress, he was angry and also a little bit afraid of the unknown!
There was a voice in his heart that kept telling him that the fortress in front of him must be demolished!
It was also the first time for Gu Lina to see the appearance of this fortress. Before, she had fantasized about it through letters from the scouts.
When she really saw this fortress, Gu Lina was also very shocked. As long as such a fortress has sufficient defense power, it can hold on for at least a month.
This is just like the twelve important cities that Daqian built in the south of the prairie, especially Zhenbei City. This city is like a thorn in the throats of the prairie people, stuck in their throats from time to time.
This makes them feel very uncomfortable!
If this fortress really stands firm, this grassland will really no longer belong to their prairie!
Gu Lina frowned: "Mundo, this is no longer a problem we can solve. You can look around the city. There are water sources and a lot of reclamation..."
While these young men were looking at the fortress, Zhuo Bufan received another message from the scouts. The Qing tribe's large army had not moved. These 30,000 troops were the descendants of a certain prominent figure in the Qing tribe and mobilized themselves.
Seeing this letter, Zhuo Bufan smiled a little. He thought that hundreds of thousands of people were coming, but he didn't expect that only 30,000 cavalry and 30,000 cavalry dared to come to their fortress. Wasn't this looking down on them too much!
Thinking that Zhuo Bufan immediately sent out scouts and asked the cavalry from the other side to outflank them from behind, he led six thousand Xiliang light cavalry to contain them from the front, waiting for the army to form an encirclement, and then surrounded these people in one fell swoop.
Some of these people are descendants of prominent figures in the Qingbu. This is a gift that comes to your doorstep. Don’t take it for free!
Sooner or later they will have to fight the Qing tribe, so they might as well strike first!
Thinking about Zhuo Bufan putting on a black armor and holding a horse spear more than four meters long, he was not very accustomed to using this kind of weapon at first, but when he was on a horse, he felt the terror of this kind of weapon.
Even if you wear a red heavy armor, you will only be filled with hatred when encountering a weapon like Ma Shan.
People on war horses don't need to use much strength, they just need to hold the weapon steady.
The cavalry outside the city walked around the fortress. Just as they were leaving, a group of cavalry came running from a distance. Zhuo Bufan and his 500 bodyguard cavalry joined forces with these light cavalry.
The army soon caught up with the Qingbu cavalry who had not run for long. At this time, the sun was about to set, leaving a red light on the horizon.
Boom!
The Qingbu cavalry behind heard the sound from behind, and sent out scouts to meet the Xiliang Qingqi. The two sides engaged in a quick battle, and one of the Qingbu cavalry ran away.
After receiving the news that Xiliang cavalry was chasing them, Mengduo immediately wanted to fight back and waited for the Xiliang army to arrive.
After waiting for a while, I saw that the Xiliang cavalry stopped at two hundred meters and did not go any further. The troops on both sides faced off like this.
Zhuo Bufan never thought about confronting the opponent head-on. He was just delaying, waiting for the 70,000 cavalrymen from Qingxi Grassland to arrive!
Mundo and his cavalry were about to charge forward, but Zhuo Bufan first turned his horse around and then turned around to shoot arrows, refusing to engage in a head-on fight with these prairie people.
Mundo chased for several kilometers and found that the distance between his men and the opponent had always remained at a certain number. He and his guards could catch up with the cavalry, but weren't hundreds of them just delivering food to others?
When Gu Lina saw this scene, wasn't this the way the Xiliang cavalry used to deal with Mondo's 3,000 men a few days ago?
Keep pulling between them to kill the enemy!
No, it's definitely not that simple. Gu Lina felt like she had forgotten something.
Qingxi Grassland, wrong!
She remembered that there were a large number of tribes in the Qingxi grassland. Those tribes took refuge in Xiliang, and those Qingxi cavalry naturally took refuge in Xiliang.
This grassland is more than just a few cavalry in front of you!
"Mundo!" Gulina yelled, and Mondo came to Gulina's side sweating profusely: "What's wrong?"
"We have to get rid of them quickly!" Gu Lina said quickly: "I suspect they have more than just a few cavalry. The Qingxi grassland tribes have taken refuge in Xiliang, and those cavalry are also in the hands of Xiliang.
The other party clearly knows that they can't defeat us, but they still keep pestering us, knowing that they don't want us to leave!
At this time, if a cavalry appears to block our way back..."
Gu Lina regretted letting Mondo come here with 30,000 cavalry. If they don't pay a price this time, it will be difficult for them to leave here!
"I understand!" Meng Duo glanced at the Xiliang cavalry led by Zhuo Bufan fiercely, and immediately responded, leaving 10,000 horses to block Zhuo Bufan's army, and quickly left with 20,000 horses.
Zhuo Bufan felt a little pity when he saw the opponent's response. If he had more Xiliang cavalry in his hands, he would have dared to lead the army to bite the opponent directly, but he only had 7,000 troops!
Mondo and his party were wearing stars and moons. When they were about to leave the Qingxi grassland, they saw a cavalry chasing them from the side under the scorching sun. Seeing that they had left the Qingxi grassland, they could only retreat back.
A blood wolf flag fluttered in the sun. If they were slower and were stopped by this cavalry, the consequences would be disastrous!
"This Xiliang is an opponent!" Mondo no longer looked down upon him at this time. Previously, they had focused their attention on Li Zhen in the south and did not pay attention to the northwest on the edge of Qingxi Grassland.
Now there is a vicious wolf in the Great Wall in the northwest. As long as they don't pay attention, it is very likely to bite them!
