"Li Xiang, isn't it in the northwest? How did you get to the Qingxi Grassland!" Mengduo and Domura also knew a little about the Northwest. When they attacked the Qingxi Grassland, they even asked people to take a look at the northwest.
side.
When the war started, Prime Minister Li was still dealing with various problems in various parts of the northwest.
Moreover, the major armies in Xiliang didn't make much movement. If there were any moves, they were the spies from the northwest and would have sent all kinds of news back!
"I wonder how many troops Xiang Li brought?" Gu Lina asked!
She also had detailed operations in the northwest. The Xiliang army had no movement, but Li Xiang was still mysterious. No one knew Li Xiang's movements. Sometimes he ran outside the pass, sometimes to Tongtian City, or to some small county or village.
inside.
Xiliang officials don't know the movements of their own adults, so how can they know the movements of Prime Minister Li if they are careful.
She did not expect that Li Xiang would lead an army to the Qingxi grassland. Gu Lina was a little excited for this person she had been waiting for for a long time!
She needs strong men, especially the kind of generals who are on the battlefield, who can take the heads of enemy generals from thousands of armies, or who can lead an army under their command to be invincible!
The strong men in the major cultivation worlds are strong, but no matter how strong they are, they still have to stay safe under the Daqian court.
As long as there is no chaos in the dynasty, the strong must obey the orders of the dynasty. During the heyday of the Daqian Dynasty, even the strong men with golden bodies did not dare to disobey the orders of the Holy Emperor!
Emperor Daqian can even decide the life or death of a strong man with one word!
The cornerstone of the Daqian Dynasty's strength is its army. The stronger the army under the dynasty, the more powerful the dynasty becomes.
Xiliang has already issued this kind of weather!
Gu Lina felt that if no one suppressed the development of Xiliang's army, after Xiliang completed the transformation of the northwest land, absorbed the refugees from the Central Plains, and developed, it would be a great threat to their prairie.
Look at the cavalry unit under the Seventh Prince this time. Thirty thousand people were killed, and no one except the military advisor was spared. This shows the terror of the Xiliang army!
Facing such a mysterious and extremely strong man, Gu Lina was filled with excitement!
Tuo Lei said: "It is not yet clear how many people Mr. Li is bringing with him!"
"Then I don't know how the seventh prince plans to deal with it!" Gu Lina felt that Tuo Lei had come prepared. The other party knew that Li Xiang was on the grassland, so he should have already had a way to deal with it.
The poison warrior behind Tuo Lei said: "We are outnumbered. There are more than 100,000 Xiliang troops in the fortress, plus the wolf-like Xiliang cavalry on the grassland, we have no choice but to retreat!"
Moreover, even if we retreat, we will lose a lot of men and horses!"
"How do you say that?" Mondo said unhappily: "The total number of our armies is nearly 300,000. We still have 300,000, but we are still afraid of their 100,000. How can we still defeat three of them against one?"
Gu Lina Bai Mengduo glanced at him and said mockingly: "Before, didn't you just fight three against one?
If the Seventh Prince hadn’t led one hundred thousand cavalry to support, all of you, nearly two hundred thousand people, might have been eaten by others. If you hadn’t had the face to brag here long ago!”
"You, you, you!" Mondo's face turned red with anger, but he had no good way to deal with Gu Lina. He could only end the topic with Da Gan's words: "Good men don't compete with women!
"
"Tch!" Gulina looked at her eldest brother Domura, who turned away calmly and refused to communicate with Gulina!
Gu Lina said to the Poison Master: "If you want to retreat, you must have a charter! Otherwise, if you are chased by the Xiliang army, it will easily become a big rout. Once there is a rout, the entire army may be destroyed!"
"
Gu Lina knew that many of the battles with more victories were caused by the defeat of the army in front.
The frontline troops on the battlefield are very important. They are either elite troops or cannon fodder.
If the cannon fodder troops are at the front, then elite soldiers must be arranged behind the cannon fodder troops. Once the front is defeated, the elite soldiers can block the impact of deserters, and they must also block the feeling of a large enemy army.
If there is an elite army in front, then when both sides are fighting hard, see which side can't hold on first.
Some generals like to send cannon fodder troops at the front, then ordinary troops in the middle, and all elite divisions at the back or around them.
In this way, once the army in front is defeated, the central army will also be terrified. The entire army will be in a rout. Even the elite troops will not be able to stop the already terrifying army!
Attack requires organization, and retreat requires organization even more!
Poison Master felt that the only people he could talk to in the big tent were the prince and Gulina. The remaining generals did not have enough status, and their IQs were obviously not enough!
"The cavalry of the Seventh Prince is on the left and right, forming two wings of the army. The cavalry of General Mondo is the starting force, the infantry is the rear force, and the injured soldiers and ordinary nomadic knights are the center force. If necessary, we can abandon the infantry.
!
On the grassland, only cavalry can survive!"
After hearing Tuo Lei's words, everyone present had no objections, even the infantry generals. On the grassland, once there is a defeat, the infantry is the rear unit of the army, blocking the enemy's attack for the cavalry.
"If Prime Minister Li comes with his army to cause trouble, he only needs to fight back with a hail of arrows. No troops are allowed to attack without orders!
The Xiliang cavalry are all heavy cavalry, and the charge of the light cavalry is just tickling them!
There is also a question about how to handle food. Food is a top priority, so the food in our army has been concentrated in one place. Every day, soldiers can go to the centurions of each department to receive food!
We need to retreat out of the Qingxi Grassland and enter the prairie within ten days. By then, the support from the Qingbei army will have arrived, so there is nothing to worry about."
"The next step is what the ministries need..."
When the grassland army was discussing their retreat, Zhuo Bufan and Gao Yuan, who had just returned to the fortress, received the order!
"Tangle the grassland army and keep a good distance at the same time to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to counterattack!"
They were very familiar with the handwriting and breath on it. It was a letter written by their lord himself, and he deliberately left a breath of it in case they didn't believe it.
"My lord has come to the grassland?"
The two of them looked happy, and a general would feel uncomfortable seeing the meat he was about to cook running away.
That's how they feel now.
The grassland army was their cooked meat. Just when they were about to start eating the meat, reinforcements came over and wanted to take their meat away.
They were naturally unhappy, but they had no choice. If they attacked forcefully, they would suffer heavy losses, and the fortress would most likely be taken away by the opponent.
Therefore, in order to strengthen the fortress, they could only give up this piece of meat.
Now the lord is here!
When they received reinforcements from the other side and felt that their own side did not have any reinforcements, they felt very strange, because the lord has always been a master who does not suffer any disadvantages.
The other party sent reinforcements. Normally, the lord would send reinforcements, but not this time.
Now that they saw this letter, they knew that Li Xiang had come to them, but they didn't know it.
Thinking of Gao Yuan, he said: "Leave 10,000 soldiers and wounded soldiers to garrison the fortress, and you and I will set off with the remaining mobilizable troops!"
Zhuo Bufan smiled and said: "My cavalry can set off at any time, but you have to prepare for me about the food and grass issue!"
Over the past few days, Zhuo Bufan has almost eaten all the food and grass he carried.
"No problem!" Gao Yuan said to the ten thousand captain next to him: "Gao Jiu, you will stay and garrison the fortress. Now your men will roast all the stored ferocious beast meat, and then cut it into half pieces."
It weighs a pound!"
Half a pound of ferocious beast meat can feed a soldier for a day, and can also speed up the recovery of blood and physical strength.
When Gao Jiu heard that someone wanted to stay, he knew it must be him, because his army had the fewest casualties, and the troops left in the city must be the ones with the fewest casualties.
If an enemy attacks a city, it will definitely be better for soldiers from the same unit to cooperate than from other units.
"Yes!" Gao Jiu was a little depressed, but he didn't complain. The credit for defending the city was no less than that of the soldiers who went out to fight, and it was also safer. Of course, if someone was willing to change with him, he would definitely change.
Zhuo Bufan said to the next general: "Go immediately and lead the army into the city to rest!"
"Yes!" The brother general went out with Gao Jiu. Zhuo Bufan said to Gao Yuan: "The other party should be retreating, and the troops coming to support are from the seventh prince of the Golden Family. Although they are not an elite army, their combat effectiveness is comparable to mine.
Army ordinary cavalry.
The cavalry force under my command is 50,000 grassland cavalry, and the rest are Xiliang light cavalry and horse archers.
It’s difficult to confront the prairie cavalry head-on, but it’s not a problem to entangle them!”
Zhuo Bufan continued: "My lord, let us entangle the grassland army. The personal troops brought by the lord must be around, ready to engage with the grassland army at any time, so we can be bolder. You can bring the infantry to close in and put pressure on the opponent.
.
However, in order to prevent the enemy from counterattacking, we need to be prepared for the enemy's counterattack, such as bringing enough carriages. If necessary, we can create a formation of carriages to block the prairie people's attack!"
"The archers, crossbowmen, and some pushable war weapons in the city can also be transported to the frontline battlefield using horse-drawn carriages."
There are a large number of carriages in the fortress. These carriages are usually used to transport other supplies. When war comes, these carriages will become tools used to resist cavalry.
The materials used for Xiliang's carriages are all wood taken from the vast forest sea. In the forest sea, they can block the attacks of most ferocious beasts. After turning into carriages, their hardness still exists. The impact of the war horses, as long as they are not carrying true energy
They can block the charge.
Some carriages engraved with various runes can even block the charge of vicious beasts.
The carriage was not only a means of transportation in the Xiliang army, but also sometimes a weapon used by the Xiliang army to resist enemy attacks.
"Hmm!" Gao Yuan may not be as good at offense as Zhuo Bufan, but Gao Yuan is really strong at defense. There are few people in the entire Xiliang army who can defend better than him!
Gao Yuan calculated the defensive items that could be used in the Xiliang army one by one and placed everything where they should be.
There are still a large number of rebel horses in the city. They can bring carriages out, which means they can bring a large amount of supplies. When necessary, they can release the carriages to serve as city walls. They can continue to do their job of transportation!
Most of the soldiers from Xiliang slept soundly that night. Only the uninjured soldiers from the First Division of Gaojiu were busy preparing food and putting various supplies on the carriage.
It was busy until the next day, when the sky was slightly bright, the fortress gate suddenly opened, and carriages came out of the fortress, carrying a large amount of goods as well as Xiliang archers and crossbowmen!
The horses in the Xiliang carriage have average explosive power, but their endurance is very strong. Pulling a carriage full of goods, plus two archers and a crossbowman, the speed is still the same.
The soldiers following on the side are the Xiliang Spearmen, Sword and Shield Soldiers, and the soldiers of the Great Wall Legion who can still fight!
When the city gate opened, the grassland scouts who were scouting the Xiliang soldiers outside the city discovered this problem immediately, turned around and ran towards their own camp with this discovery.
He must send back the news of the Xiliang army's dispatch before the Xiliang army reaches the camp, otherwise it will be too late by the time the Xiliang army reaches the front of the camp.
He must hurry up!
Then another gate of the fortress opened, and the cavalry that entered the city last night were dispatched in a mighty manner. The sound of the cavalry running was already very loud. You can't cover it up if you want to, unless you are taking the cavalry for a walk!
Zhuo Bufan took the lead. He had just received news that the grassland had been packing up things since midnight. The first troops to be dispatched had already left the camp several miles away. They had to hurry up.
Gulina was not with her eldest brother and Mondo. She chose to continue to watch the scene outside with her personal guards!
From the information, he knew that once Li Xiang set his sights on a prey, he would win it at all costs. Although she wanted to fight Li Xiang, she wanted to see Li Xiang fight even more.
No matter how much you see in the information, it is not as real as what you see with your own eyes, and sometimes the authorities are blind to the onlookers.
If she wanted to figure out Li Xiang's fighting style, she had to watch it from the outside first.
Boom, boom, boom!
The sound of rapid horse hoofbeats sounded, and the scout strode to Gu Lina: "Miss, the gate of Xiliang Fortress is open, and the Xiliang army inside is coming out!"
"Is it the Xiliang Cavalry?" Gu Lina asked.
The scout lowered his head and said quickly: "Not only that, the Xiliang infantry and the carriages are marching together, and the Xiliang cavalry is dispatched from the south city gate. In about a quarter of an hour, they will be able to kill the young patriarch and General Mondo's camp!"
The infantry may be slower, but it won’t take more than one stick of incense!”
"Cavalry and infantry are dispatched together?" Gu Lina frowned, Xiliang's dispatch of troops made her a little confused.
It’s enough to dispatch the cavalry. Why should the infantry be dispatched? Aren’t they afraid that the prairie cavalry will attack in reverse?
