Chapter 283 Array

Ma Jin and his party quickly rushed to the outside of the camp and saw that Xiliang had a very complete camp, with horse traps, horse traps, and other things used to restrain the cavalry.

There is also a tall watchtower at regular intervals, which emits bright light at night, illuminating the surrounding area.

In the lake not far away, there was a warship with no end in sight, which put a lot of pressure on Ma Jin and his party.

The Xiliang navy is far more terrifying and powerful than they imagined. No matter what the navy is there, the Xiliang army can come and go freely. They can fight if they want. If they don't want to fight, they can enter Sanshui City and leave safely.

And they could only watch from behind as the Xiliang army left!

To restrain the Xiliang Navy, we need help from Sanshui City, but do Sanshui City dare? Do they dare to confront the Xiliang Navy?

On the surface, Ma Jin despises Xiliang, but privately he takes it very seriously, otherwise he would not have brought the best of the Ma family here.

Seeing the heavily guarded Xiliang camp, the three of them did not lead the army to attack rashly. The cavalry was the king in mobile warfare, but in siege, they were really not as good as the infantry.

The Xiliang camp in front of us is no better than a city, but those defenses cannot be broken if you want to. They can't let their precious cavalry go to break the trap!

Cavalry is ordinary only on the grassland. Cavalry is very valuable in other places. It is not an easy task to train a qualified cavalry.

Wait for the infantry to arrive and then consider the long term!

In Sanshui City!

"Father, the Xiliang Navy can be called the second navy of Daqian!" The young man who was dragged away by the Xiliang arrow boat said to Lei Miao with joy on his face: "I'm sure this is not the Xiliang Navy's

Of all their strength, they should still have a very powerful part that they haven’t released yet!”

"Father, Xiliang may be a very good choice!"

Lei Miao looked at his excited son and sighed in his heart. Although the Lei family is not as powerful as the three major families in Liangzhou, they are not weak. They occupy Sanshui City and have a pretty good naval force. The family is even more powerful.

There is a lot of money accumulated, but there is no one among the descendants who can shoulder the responsibility.

This era is a very bad era for ordinary people, but for ambitious people like them, this is the best era.

They only need to invest a little bit, and if they fail, they will fail. It will not affect their family anyway, but if they succeed, they will get far more than what they have now.

If he were thirty years younger, he would definitely have to compete with the three major families of Xiliang and Liangzhou. But now that he has entered middle age, his son does not have much ambition.

I just want to be a speculator and a surrenderer!

"Xiliang is good, but if you want to invest, you have to wait until the battle between Xiliang and the three major families in Liangzhou!" Lei Miao said calmly: "Although the icing on the cake is not as good as providing help when the time is right, the advantage is stability!

There are disciples from Imperial College coming to the city, and the leader was once Li Xiang’s teacher, you can go and get in touch with them!”

Imperial College is a college set up by the Daqian Dynasty. Most of the generals and official families will send their descendants to study there. It is divided into five colleges, four branches in four cities, and only the top dignitaries in the middle can study there.

Enter.

At that time, Li Xiang went to the Core Academy to study. Since he had no talent for cultivation, he only learned some etiquette, history and the art of war.

"yes!"

In a certain restaurant in the city, a large group of teenagers surrounded an old man, and they booked this restaurant!

"Teacher, on the grassland, apart from cavalry against cavalry, is there no other type of arms that can restrain cavalry?"

A young man very close to the old man asked.

According to the rules of the college, when one person asks a question, others cannot speak, and everyone needs to listen carefully.

The old man closed his eyes and thought for a while and then said: "Yes or no, it depends on the cavalry general.

If the cavalry general is obsessed with one place, then other arms, such as spearmen formation, crossbowmen formation, and other specially restrained cavalry arms, can still restrain the cavalry. However, if the cavalry general is not obsessed, but chooses to wait for the opponent to march

If we take action again, no one will be able to restrain the cavalry!"

The old man took a sip of tea and said, "I have received news that Li Xiang, the governor of Jiuyuan County in the northwest, has arrived in Liangzhou from the northwest with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. The three major families of Liangzhou, Ma, Han, and Pang, have each sent a large army. Both sides will

There will be a battle before winter.

After reading the paper, I finally realize that this matter must be carried out. The battle between the two of them is an opportunity. We will see a battle between the Northwest Cavalry and the Liangzhou Cavalry, which is no less than that between the Great Grassland and Li Zhen.

The marshal's army and cavalry fought."

The young man who asked the question asked curiously: "Teacher, are the Xiliang cavalry under the governor of Jiuyuan County so powerful?

The Liangzhou Iron Cavalry is the elite division of the three major families in Liangzhou, and they have been fighting against Qiang, Xianbei and other rebels all year round, and they also have the world-famous Liangzhou Horse."

These teenagers are not children. Each of them is a bullet of a big family. Their talent may not be good, but their IQ is at least online, and they are born in a big family, so they know a lot more than ordinary people.

The Liangzhou cavalry was once the source of Daqian's cavalry, especially the Liangzhou cavalry, which could kill from the west to the east, from the north to the south, and from the south to the grassland.

The new Liangzhou Cavalry has fought against grassland people, against monsters, and against ferocious beasts. Liangzhou Cavalry has basically been present in all foreign wars.

Later, when the world was settled, Liangzhou Iron Cavalry slowly disappeared. It was not until the emergence of the three major families in Liangzhou that Liangzhou Iron Cavalry reappeared in the eyes of the world.

The Liangzhou Iron Cavalry at this time may not be as powerful as it once was, but it won't be too weak either!

These teenagers are optimistic about the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under Xiang Li in the northwest. Although they have heard about it many times, can the opponents of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry compare with the opponents of the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry?

And are there any famous war horses in that northwest area?

Therefore, they are questioning whether the Xiliang Cavalry can be compared with the Liangzhou Cavalry!

When the teacher heard what the young man said, he did not immediately make a decision: "Who is strong and who is weak? We only need to go to the edge of the battlefield and watch. When they decide the winner, won't we know who is strong and who is weak?"

"I have asked someone to borrow a thousand cavalry from the Lord of Sanshui City. We will leave the city tomorrow and go to the edge of the battlefield to watch this battle!" The teacher said with a hint of reminiscence: "Li Xiang is not outstanding among my disciples, but his

His experience and current achievements are far higher than those of other disciples.

If he wins this battle, he will return to the Great Qian. If he loses, he will have to return to the northwest, and it will be difficult for him to enter the Central Plains again."

"Teacher, the prefect of Jiuyuan County, am I your disciple?" The teenagers nearby heard the teacher's words and looked at him in surprise. This was the first time they knew this!

The teacher chuckled: "Back then, he followed his elder brother to my class and listened to many classes. However, everyone at that time thought that he was very talented. Although everyone didn't say anything, they gradually distanced themselves from him, and then he disappeared.

!

The teacher only found out some time ago that the person outside the Mega Pass is Jiuyuan County Governor Li Xiang, who was my former disciple!"

"This incident tells us not to despise others for some reason, because he may just not have chosen the right path and not encounter something that will transform him!

Do you understand?"

"Understood!" All the disciples responded in unison.

The next morning, escorted by a cavalry group, these teenagers rode out of Sanshui City and onto the vast grasslands outside.

Soon they came to a relatively high hillside between the two camps of Liangzhou Iron Cavalry and Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

The distance between the two teams is only ten miles, and you can see the enemy camp in the distance by just running a few steps.

The infantry from Liangzhou arrived, but there was no movement from the Xiliang side. They still followed the previous layout and continued to wait for reinforcements. The infantry from Xiliang headquarters was about to arrive.

The teacher of the Imperial Academy was on a high slope, looking at the Xiliang Navy on Sanshui Lake in the distance. Under his master's eyes, he could see the black iron mouths exposed on the warships. Although he did not know the function of those iron mouths, he could

I feel danger from it.

That should be the Xiliang Navy’s attack weapon on the water!

The infantry on the Liangzhou side have just arrived. They need a day or so of rest to allow the soldiers to recover their strength. The Liangzhou army will start to take action tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow!

The Xiliang army is backed by the Xiliang Navy. If the troops are defeated, they can retreat to Sanshui Lake. There is no navy in Liangzhou, so they can only watch the Xiliang army leave!

However, he felt that Xiliang should be waiting for something.

The disciples of Imperial College are very interested in the outcome of the battle between the Liangzhou and Xiliang armies, as well as the speed of the two armies gathering.

For a war involving more than 100,000 people, from the beginning to the end, not counting the preparation time, it may only take a few days if the two sides meet and fight.

Including preparation, mobilization, and dispatching troops, it will take at least half a month.

The Xiliang army was okay. After all, they were attacking. They should have made a lot of preparations before going south. But from the beginning of the war on the Liangzhou side, the army rushed to the grassland near Sanshui City to confront the Xiliang army.

It only took about eleven days, minus the eight-day road to the city on the march. In other words, the Liangzhou army gathered nearly 200,000 troops in just three days.

This speed of assembly made these teenagers feel frightened, because the soldiers were so fast.

They didn't know that the Xiliang army assembled the army in two days, and prepared all the food and other supplies in one day (directly calling local food and grass, and the food and grass shipped later were given to the local area, not brought to the army!)

On the third day after the army was stationed, just as the Liangzhou side was about to move, something strange happened to the Xiliang side. A large number of boats appeared on the lake, and tall soldiers from the Xiliang headquarters rushed to the shore.

The leader was wearing heavy armor and holding a strange weapon that was about one and a half meters taller than the Xiliang soldiers. The barrel of this weapon was about two meters long, but the blade was one and a half meters long.

When the heavy infantry hold this weapon together, coupled with their thick, black armor, the people are like a city wall, and the blades are like the mountain of knives in the underworld.

The trapped camp did not come because they entered the dark world, but with this terrifying heavy infantry, Li Xiang believed that they could block the charge of the opponent's cavalry.

Mo Daoshou is a type of heavy infantry that appeared after the empire was upgraded. The price is very high. Each of these soldiers is more than two meters tall, which is a bit taller than Xiliang soldiers.

The minimum level is level ten, plus a thick armor and a tall weapon!

In the evaluation given to them by the system, they are called cavalry killers, and they are one of the few units that can confront cavalry head-on, whether they are heavy cavalry or light cavalry.

Out of one million people in Xiliang, only 5,000 people can be recruited, because the prerequisites for becoming a Modao Shou are a height of more than two meters and a level ten!

In addition to Mo Daoshou, there are five thousand heavy infantry left, which are normal heavy infantry. However, they hold sharp halberds improved by Xiliang. They can be used as spears, and can also be used to peck, cut, and tear. They also have a lot of other equipment.

and the most important shield.

The light infantry consists of spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, long swordsmen responsible for tearing apart the enemy's formation, archers and crossbowmen. They are all normal, and Zhuge Lian crossbowmen are not dispatched.

Zhuge's crossbowmen are just burning money. Even if Li Xiang seems to have tens of millions of taels of silver now, once Zhuge's crossbowmen go on the battlefield, hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of silver will be spilled out, and there will still be a lot of money.

May not be visible.

Ordinary crossbowmen and archers are enough!

Liangzhou sent a small group of cavalry to the Xiliang camp and kept shouting and cursing in an attempt to get the Xiliang army to leave the camp. Li Xiang turned a deaf ear to this, as if he could hear the other side's voice.

The soldiers from the Xiliang headquarters didn't respond at all. They scolded them casually. He was just waiting for the reinforcements to arrive. Now that the last group of troops had arrived, those who were scolding would naturally be unable to shout any more tomorrow.

The same goes for the troops on the left and right sides. This is nothing to criticize. The key elements among them followed Prime Minister Li and fought from outside the pass to inside the pass. They have already passed through life and death. Are they still afraid of those people?

Neither side has taken action yet, but the disciples of Imperial College who were watching the battle on the side felt the tranquility before the war, and both sides had already begun to prepare for the battle.

If the Xiliang side doesn't come out, the Liangzhou side will directly attack the camp!

On the grassland, both sides still have to rely on hard power, good timing and favorable location, which, if any, will not help much.

Therefore, in a battle on the grassland, the most important test is the hard power of both sides and the generals' response on the battlefield.

The third day

While the disciples of the academy were still sleeping, the passionate drums sounded. Even the Liangzhou army on the other side was awakened by the passionate drums, and some people directly drew their weapons.

Total, total, total!

The Xiliang army began to move. The light cavalry and grassland cavalry had already scattered outside. The infantry armies on the left and right sides were slightly ahead, with spearmen and shield soldiers to guard against the Liangzhou cavalry.

Li Xiang's banner was set up in the middle of the army. Mo Dao was in the middle of the army. Five thousand men were divided into five rows, with archers and crossbowmen in front.

A little ahead on both sides of Mo Dao Shou are heavy armored infantry. They hold large shields and point their sharp halberd heads forward. If the enemy cavalry comes to kill them, drive them into the Mo Dao Shou formation in the middle!
