"Lord, the battle in the north has begun. Last night, General Cheng Jushu led the Flying Bear Army and the soldiers of the Zhang family in Hentian City took the initiative to attack. They fought with 20,000 Qiang cavalry on the grassland. In the end, the enemy left more than 8,000 corpses and fled in rout!"
Li Xiang was sitting on the throne of the governor. After hearing the information, his lips raised: "Yes, the Xiliang cavalry has arrived?"
"Half an hour after the battle, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry arrived. At this time, the people of Hentian City marched north together with the army. According to the words of the head of the Zhang family, the Zhang family wants to get back the lost land!"
"Lost land?" Li Xiang smiled: "How is the progress of the Guanwai Army?"
No matter how fast the cavalry is, it cannot determine the ownership of a city. The cost of seven cavalry is extremely high, and Prime Minister Li is reluctant to let the cavalry attack the city.
The scout said: "The vanguard of the Guanwai Legion is still about three hundred miles away from General Cheng Jushu!"
"Pass me an order to speed up the process. I need to hear the news of Hentian City's return in early May!" Li Xiang sighed: "I don't have much time left!"
He had to go to the Imperial Capital in advance. According to the news from Zhang Qingyun, he needed to return to the northwest Jiuyuan City to marry the Eighth Princess, and then take the Eighth Princess, Wu Yating and others to the Imperial Capital.
This journey will take at least about a month and a half, so there is not much time left.
He must go to the imperial capital. He chose to come to the Great Qian Middle-earth and ignore the emperor. It would not be easy if he was put in small shoes.
He will get up and return to the northwest in the next two days. The boat is already waiting for him on the other side of the river, and he is still in the city making arrangements for the rest.
Once he leaves, the surrounding Ma family, Han family, etc. will not be honest.
Therefore, he mobilized Li Mu to come down from the north. During the absence of Prime Minister Li, Li Mu would only guard Zhangye County.
Li Mu's commanding ability is no worse than that of Li Xiang. Li Mu and others learned the military form, while Li Mu and others learned the yin and yang of soldiers. In layman's terms, Li Mu and others are just like the generals here in Daqian, they like a little bit.
Plan something.
Li Xiang, on the other hand, relied on the strength of the army to start the battle according to the situation on the battlefield.
Li Mu was guarding Liangzhou. Li Xiang was relieved. Li Mu's legions were still guarding the north, preventing those ferocious beasts from forming a huge wave of ferocious beasts.
"Go down!" Li Xiang waved his hand and scouted down. Li Xiang looked at Li Mu who was sitting aside: "After I leave, the entire Liangzhou army will be under your control. You can do whatever you want.
Do it, if anyone dares to disobey, you have the right to kill first and then punish later!"
Li Mu smiled and nodded: "The general will understand!"
Li Xiang picked up the sword: "Whoever goes first, by the way, after the Flying Bear Army takes Hentian City, arrange for Cheng Jushu, Cheng Jurong and five hundred soldiers to take a boat to Sanshui Chencheng to wait for me!
I want to take them to the imperial capital!"
Li Mu said: "My lord, are five hundred personal guards a bit too little? The general has learned before that each person can bring between one thousand and three thousand guards. How about bringing fifteen hundred Flying Bear Army soldiers?"
"No need!" Li Xiang said with a smile: "This time there are five great masters following, as well as Taoist Master Qingsong and Jimo Sect disciples. The number of the two has exceeded a thousand, and the female soldiers lead 500 people.
There are 500 people in the Flying Bear Army, plus some attendants, and the number of various officials has almost reached 3,000.
But the navy has prepared two thousand people, so the army has three to four thousand people, plus the great masters, you can rest assured!"
Zhang Qingyun had already arranged for the people to go, leaving two thousand people for Li Xiang to take. After discussing with Taoist Priest Qingsong, Li Xiang decided to take these people.
The Flying Bear Army is responsible for guarding, the female soldiers are responsible for the safety of the female family members, and the Jimo disciples and Qingyuan disciples are secretly protecting them. The practitioners still have to use practitioners to deal with them.
The most top disciples of the Ji Mo Sect had just retreated from Luo Mu's army, and all of them were lunatics.
Qingyuan, that is, the disciples of Taoist Master Qingsong, but since they lived in Qingyuan, they called themselves disciples of Qingyuan.
There are also two thousand people from Xiliang Navy. This time, Prime Minister Li mobilized a blessing ship and two large transport ships. You must bring something with you when you go to see the emperor!
Xiliang itself didn't have enough gold and silver, so it brought some items from the Western world and cultivation treasures such as primeval stones.
The demand for Yuan Stone in Xiliang is very low, that is, it is only used by the disciples of Jimo Sect and Qingyuan.
"Um!"
Li Mu nodded and said nothing.
The news that Prime Minister Li returned to the northwest by boat soon spread, and both the Ma and Han families were a little bit ready to make a move. When Prime Minister Li returned to the northwest, part of the Xiliang army was fighting with the Qiang people in the north.
On the third day after Li Xiang left, when the Han family and the Ma family were about to take action, Li Mu took action first. The Xiliang troops in Lingfeng County took the initiative to attack and destroyed five small towns in the city opposite Lingfeng County in the dark.
Defeated the opponent's defenders of 50,000 men until they were defeated.
After receiving the news, Fufeng County immediately mobilized its army to attack Lingfeng County.
At this time, the Wulong Army who was on the edge of the Zhiqiang Fortress sent out the Black Dragon Camp and went straight to the Ma Family Camp. When the Ma Family Army saw the Black Dragon Camp troops coming out, the armies of both sides quickly gathered together.
Just as the armies of the two sides were confronting each other, the Xiliang scouts had already led five thousand light cavalry on Xiliang war horses (after many Xiliang cavalry died on the battlefield, a large number of war horses would be left behind, and these war horses were handed over to the masters).
Riding by soldiers on horseback, the Xiliang headquarters cavalry is a soldier paired with a war horse coming out of the stable. Such a war horse and the cavalry have the best understanding) ran from Heishui County to Lingfeng County, and then rushed directly from the edge of Lingfeng County.
Go to a very important grain and grass warehouse for the Ma family army.
The Ma family never expected that a cavalry force would appear in their Fufeng County.
Li Mu's target was the granary from the beginning. Lingfeng County sent troops to attack the opposite city to attract the opponent's attention and focus on the Lingfeng County army. Then he asked the Guannei Army, that is, the Wulong Army to dispatch, attracting the area near the granary.
After waiting for those troops to dispatch, the light cavalry will attack, burning the opponent's food and grass in one fell swoop, and the army will have enough time to run back to Lingfeng County.
This round trip is nearly a thousand miles, and there are few war horses in the world that can complete such an attack.
As soon as Li Mu took action, the Ma family suffered a huge loss. The Ma family's heart, which had been about to move, suddenly felt cold. There was not much food and grass in the first place, and most of it was burned by the Xiliang army. What else could they do?
The first battle made the Ma family and the Han family know that the general who had just guarded Zhangye County and the commander of one of the five Xiliang legions, Li Mu, was a brave, crazy guy.
Hundreds of thousands of troops were mobilized at will, just for one goal, so that they had no idea what he was thinking.
Li Mu mobilized a large army in the south to give the Ma family a punch. Cheng Jushu and Cheng Jurong in the north learned the true story of Prime Minister Li, which was to fight head-on and start a battle with the Qiang cavalry.
When the Zhang family soldiers went to the battlefield with Cheng Jushu on the first day, they seemed to be quite large in number, but most of them were composed of civilians. They were a little scared to face 20,000 Qiang cavalry.
But when Cheng Jushu led the Flying Bear Army to rush into the Qiang cavalry at a speed a hundred meters faster than them, and then more than 4,000 people chased and chopped down the Qiang cavalry, they knew what it meant to be a world-famous cavalry.
After the first battle, not a single member of the Flying Bear Army was killed. At most, a few soldiers were injured after falling off their horses.
When the Xiliang cavalry arrived the next day, 24,000 Xiliang cavalry led them all the way to the north. No matter how many Qiang cavalry they encountered along the way, they were all just one.
Fighting from the south to the north, the Qiang cavalry turned around and ran away when they saw the bloody wolf-headed banner of the Xiliang cavalry.
The wildness shown by the Xiliang cavalry made the Zhang family admire them, and some even wanted to join this cavalry. It was so wild!
The king of the Qiang tribe also saw the Xiliang cavalry charge from a distance. There are many types of troops that can deal with heavy cavalry. Light cavalry is also one of them, but they need to have strong armor-breaking ability and pulling ability.
But, are the Qiang cavalry horses as fast as the Xiliang horses?
If Xiliang war horses are strictly classified according to the classification of Daqian, Xiliang war horses are already a kind of horse demon, very obedient horse demons. They can be trained and have special training methods. They are physically strong and can be used when necessary.
Use the demon element to keep yourself running at high speed.
They are responsible for running, and the Xiliang soldiers are responsible for attacking. Moreover, the Xiliang cavalry is not only capable of close combat. Their long-range attack is just worse than that of the Xiliang archers. It does not mean that they are worse than these people on the grassland.
Another point is that the gap in weapons and equipment makes there a huge gap between the Qiang and Xiliang cavalry.
Can we defend Hentian City?" The Qiang king was sitting on the head of Hentian City. This time he brought a lot of heavy cavalry, which was the strength of their Qiang family and their heavy combat effectiveness in maintaining their pastures.
If all the heavy cavalry were lost here, plus the troops lost before, it would be a heavy blow to their clan.
If he had brought more troops and there was a possibility of victory, he would definitely fight, but now they lack the certainty of victory, so the Qiang King hesitated!
When the military advisor heard what the king said, he knew that the king's character was too indecisive and lacked the momentum of a king!
He doesn’t know what it means to meet in a narrow road, the brave will win, and he doesn’t have the bloody spirit to fight for his life. Look at Xiliang, Prime Minister Li fought all the way from outside the Pass. When he was outside the Pass, Prime Minister Li could make the strong men who were driven out of Daqian listen.
A being who is afraid of even his name is even called a human massacre.
From outside the pass to inside the pass, the Xiliang army has been fighting and fighting bloody battles. Li Xiang's soldiers never asked how many enemies there were. As long as Li Xiang's blade points, it is the place where those soldiers charge.
Along the way, Li Xiang did not know how many times he defeated the many with less, and how many bloody battles he fought before he managed to break out of the current territory of Nuo in just six or seven years. Even the Emperor Daqian did not dare to use force against Li Xiang.
Because Li Xiang is different from others. Li Xiang is a person who will fight when he says he wants to fight. He doesn't have too much hypocrisy.
Such people are easy or difficult to deal with. Coupled with the complete logistics base in the northwest, Li Xiang is in an invincible position.
If the Qiang people can produce such a monarch, he can assist the other party. Not to mention compared with the prairie people in the prairie, at least they will be much stronger than they are now.
Perhaps, you can make a choice.
"I don't know whether you want to fight or retreat. If you want to fight, we must fight to the death with the opponent.
If we fight, we will fight to death. If we don’t fight, we will withdraw immediately!”
The Qiang king was shocked when he thought of the Xiliang cavalry again. The Qiang king, who had not made many troubles in his life, shook his head: "If you don't fight, now is the time for nomadic life. If you lose too much, you will make Xian look for it."
Got the chance!
Withdraw your troops!”
When the Qiang king talked about retreating, he suddenly relaxed. It was better for him to be more stable. In autumn, he could go south to hunt grass and valleys, and in spring and summer, he could just graze!
He didn't notice the indifference and determination flashing in the military advisor's eyes when he said he wanted to retreat.
Now is the time of great strife. Other races are waiting for the giant dragon Dagan to fall, and then bite off a piece of meat from the dragon. However, the king of the Qiang tribe looks like this. Don't talk about eating meat in the future, and don't be beaten when the time comes.
It would be fine if other races were wiped out!
It seems that a new king has to be replaced. The third prince is very good. There are back and forth in the battle between the Xianbei people. The most important thing is that the third prince is ruthless enough.
The Qiang army left just as quickly as it came. Cheng Jushu and others took back the city without wasting much effort.
At this time, Li Xiang had just returned to Tongtianhe City. The eighth princess who had been staying here could finally approach the city that could only be seen in letters, and also wanted to see Li Xiang's children.
.
Northeast direction
Under the Xuantian Sect, a huge fortress has been built. A thousand-man army of the Xiliang Dongfang Qingmu Legion is stationed here. After the city is established, the surrounding northwest civilians stationed in the city, and the Xuantian Sect disciples also spent some money.
Rent a house in the city.
The Xuantian Sect originally had a grudge against Xiliang, but in the fight against the vicious beasts, the two sides were able to unite together, and the previous nastiness seemed to have disappeared.
Suddenly a black cloud appeared in the city and rushed into the sky, and a white cloud floated from the top of Xuantian Mountain. The leader of the Ji Mo Sect clasped his fists: "Brother Ouyang, there have been many disturbances these days. Let's talk about it again in the imperial capital. Then I will invite you to get drunk.
Strong animal blood wine!"
Ouyang Xidu also clasped his hands and said, "I'm waiting for your drink!"
"Hahaha!" The leader of the Ji Mo Sect laughed several times and disappeared, leaving Ouyang Xi alone looking at the fortress and the long white dragon rushing towards the east. This Great Wall was like a giant white dragon lying on the ground.
, Xiliang calls it defense.
But in his eyes, the Xiliang army will use this Great Wall as a springboard to fight outside the pass. There is a fortress at every interval. After blocking the ferocious beasts, the vast land behind will become fertile farmland. Once there is a war, the Xiliang army will
