Xiliang's main army was divided into long black dragons, extending towards the depths of the grassland, consisting of heavy infantry, heavy cavalry, tanks, and transport vehicles.
All kinds of troops appear on the grassland. This is the land of Liangzhou, which is a bit colder than the northwest region.
"Xuantie Mine?" Li Xiang said to the entourage beside him: "Let Zhuo Bufan and the others think about it themselves. Also, if they decide to go, they must send about 5,000 troops to garrison there, and they must allow me, Xiliang
Build a fortress there.
They are left to their own devices. In short, the safety of the soldiers must be guaranteed, and the food reserves in the fortress must be sufficient for 5,000 people and mining personnel for more than one year.
Even if the two sides turn against each other in the future, the troops in the mining area will still be able to resist and can wait until reinforcements arrive!"
"That's all I have to say. Use the flying bird to quickly pass it back."
Li Xiang said, riding his horse and running forward. He is now mainly in charge of the Liangzhou battlefield. All political and military affairs in the northwest region are under the control of Zhang Qingyun and Li Yi.
Thinking of everywhere, the messenger carrying the ferocious beast Feiniao was not far away. The ferocious beast Feiniao is an extremely fast ferocious beast. Its combat power is not very strong, but relying on its unparalleled speed, it is still very popular among the ferocious beasts.
famous.
After capturing this kind of flying bird, Xiliang's animal trainer began to domesticate this kind of bird. The trained flying bird became an important messenger of Xiliang.
The time it takes to get from Liangzhou to the northwest region is only about three days, which is a little faster than the speed of a master.
The personal guards followed Prime Minister Li, and the army was like long black dragons advancing rapidly on the grassland. After reaching a certain position, these soldiers dispersed and rushed to their destination.
Plop, plop!
A black flying bird came to Li Xiang's side. Li Xiang stretched out his hand. The bird stopped on his hand, and its sharp claws tightly grasped Chen Huaihe's hand.
Take out the letter paper placed on the bird's leg.
"The Fufeng County battlefield has begun!"
Seeing the words above, Xiang Li Xiang smiled and said to another entourage beside him: "I'm giving the order to all the cavalry to speed up. The battlefield in Fufeng County has begun, and we can't lag too far behind."
"promise!"
The cavalry in the army stepped aside and began to accelerate.
the other side
The Black Dragon of the Seventh Legion led the army to the front of a city. This is Henglang City, an important pass in the southwest of Fufeng County.
The city has only 20,000 troops and a population of 210,000. It is a relatively important pass in Fufeng County. From here, you will enter the vast Fufeng Plain.
It is also an important military defense location for the Fufeng Ma family.
The garrison soldiers on the city wall saw the big flag appearing in the distance, and the garrison was a little helpless. The killers finally came.
I don’t know if the family master and the others are ready?
When the Xiliang army was dispatched, the Ma family of Fufeng began to make preparations. The three major families, Ma family, Han family, and Pang family, once again cooperated and formed an alliance to gather an army of millions, preparing for a life-or-death showdown with the Xiliang army.
It takes time to assemble a large army, so the generals stationed in the pass areas are ordered to strictly control the cities under their command, and it will take one day as long as possible.
When the rear army is assembled, they will no longer have to fear the Xiliang army.
No matter how strong the Xiliang army is, its number is only two to three hundred thousand. However, the number of troops gathered by their three major families has reached more than one million. Plus some troops that have just been trained, there can be 150 people.
About ten thousand people.
"General, General Luo Mu's men have arrived at the Fufeng Plain." The messenger walked to the black dragon and said, "There is also news from the Fufeng Plain. The Fufeng Ma family plans to gather heavy troops to fight with our army on the Fufeng Plain.
Life and death, we have not received any news from our lord yet, so the army in the middle can only stop at Fufeng Plain."
"Assemble heavy troops?" Heilong said in surprise: "Haven't the people of the Fufeng Ma family suffered enough?
On the frontal battlefield, they have never been our army's opponents, or do they have any basis?"
Black Dragon thought that if the three major families in Liangzhou did not have foreign aid, they would not be able to take the initiative to fight against the Xiliang army on the battlefield. Maybe there was some unknown force behind them supporting these three families.
"Let General Luo Mu and the others be careful." Heilong thought for a moment and said. He could think of this, and so could other generals, so he could at most just give it a warning.
"When will our army's Shenji Battalion be launched?" Luo Mu turned to another soldier and asked.
"Go back to the general, the Shenji Battalion will arrive tonight!"
Luo Mu nodded as he listened and looked at Henglang City in front of him. It was not easy to capture this city. As an important gateway to the southwest of Fufeng County, this city was not as strong as the fortress.
But as an important gateway, the city wall is already 12 meters high, and there are 20,000 defenders in the city. These defenders are not just newly trained recruits, but veterans of the Ma family, elite troops.
.
He brought 40,000 troops here this time. If there was no Shenji Battalion, he would not touch the hard nut in front of him. He would not know whether the opponent's city wall is strong or the Shenji Battalion war machinery in his hand is powerful.
Although Black Dragon did not participate in the war in the land of God's War, they usually visited the war machinery of the God's Machine Camp, plus the power they had seen on the battlefield before.
As long as the opponent's city wall is not filled with various formations and bombarded by various war machines from the Shenji Battalion for three or four days, a breach will surely be made in the city wall.
As long as you give them an opening, they can take down the city.
"This city must be captured within ten days!" Black Dragon said secretly in his heart.
This time the Xiliang army launched attacks in all directions. In addition to his group, there were more than a dozen armies marching together, and their final destination was Fufeng Plain.
By taking Fufeng Plain, the remaining Han family and Pang family will be completely under the blade of the Xiliang army. The place where those two families are located is a plain area with an unobstructed view.
Only Zhangye County and Fufeng County still have some difficult terrain, which is why the other two major families are willing to help the Ma family. They still understand the principle of lip death and tooth cold.
Fufeng County
Luo Mu and his party moved forward in the cold wind, with the army dragging a long queue. They did not meet many people along the way, and the towns they encountered were already deserted.
What the other side implemented was to strengthen the walls and clear the country, leaving nothing behind for the Xiliang army. On the plains, it was difficult for these small counties to withstand the attack of the Xiliang army.
Instead of digesting precious troops and people here, it is better to gather the army in one place and gather the civilians in one place, leaving the enemy no place to attack and increasing their logistical pressure.
"What the Ma family has done is really amazing!" Luo Mu was riding on a war horse, with the cold wind blowing on his face. Spring had already begun in the northwest, and the cold wind was still raging in the Liangzhou continent.
It is estimated that we will have to wait another month or two for spring to bloom here, but the snow on the ground has already broken open, otherwise the Xiliang army would not choose this time to attack.
No army is willing to choose war in the cold winter when the snow is falling. The Xiliang army used to go to war in the cold winter, it was out of necessity.
That's just what the Xiliang headquarters army can do. If other ordinary troops have some cultivation, they will suffer terribly from the cold winter.
They had just come out of a deserted town, and this was already the sixth town they had encountered along the way.
The scouts searched around and found one or two families in some remote places, but it was only one or two families and there was no large-scale population gathering place.
Those towns and villages have already been hollowed out by people. This is the policy of the other side, to strengthen the walls and clear the fields.
"Don't complain, we're ahead to reach the seventh city of Fufeng County. According to the news from the scouts, 50,000 troops have gathered there, and there are a lot of cavalry traces around. We have to find a place to camp!
"
Luo Mu's adjutant reminded from the side: "Otherwise we may suffer losses in the field battle. It's not yet time for a decisive battle with the opponent. We have to take it easy and don't let the opponent counterattack!"
Their army was originally sent out to contain the enemy. Other armies were blocked by cities in front of them. Only their army had few cities on its route, and they were all villages and towns.
But when they encountered a city, it was an important city of the Ma family in Fufeng, the seventh city in Fufeng County, the City of Gale.
The city got its name because it is located in a place where strong winds rage.
As the seventh city in Fufeng, it is also an important base point for Fufeng Majia’s strategic defense. Hundreds of thousands of troops will gather here.
Luo Mu led an army of no more than 20,000 people, including 5,000 prairie cavalry.
The rest are the Demon Legion and some auxiliary soldiers, responsible for the army's logistics and some construction tasks.
"Look at where to build the camp!" Luo Mu didn't want to think about these issues. As the Jimo Sect soldiers advanced in cultivation, most of them didn't like to use their brains.
Luo Mu has broken through and become a master in a second-rate city, and his skills have an increasing impact on his IQ.
"I'll take the cavalry to patrol. Remember that the camp can't be closer than 50 miles to the City of Gale!"
Luo Mu didn't want to be surrounded by the enemy. If they were surrounded in this place, it would really be a disaster for the heavens and the earth. They were already deep in alone.
"I promise not!" the deputy general said with a smile: "When the general is patrolling, pay attention to the surrounding water sources and see which places are suitable for ambush!"
Fufeng Plain is a plain, that's right, but the plain doesn't necessarily have an unobstructed view. There are some places that are high and some places that are low. There are places suitable for you to use as an ambush.
"OK!"
Luo Mu went out on patrol with his cavalry, and the whereabouts of Luo Mu's army were always under the eyes of Fufeng Ma's scouts.
This military operation in Xiliang was very large. According to the news that came back later, the army used was as large as 300,000.
This number is still increasing continuously, and it may not necessarily exceed one million in the future.
After becoming hostile to Xiliang, the three major families in Liangzhou sent spies to the northwest to search for information. Xiliang has developed very fast in the past few years, and by migrating civilians from the Central Plains, Xiliang's population has skyrocketed.
Xiliang has been recruiting soldiers since last year. No one knows how many soldiers there are in Xiliang. They only know that Xiliang recruits soldiers every once in a while.
The army is large in quantity, good in quality, and well equipped with weapons and equipment.
From the information obtained, many people in the three major families have lost their will to resist. Even though the combined strength of the three major families is nearly 3 million, their enemies are stronger.
Xiliang's army is smaller in number than theirs, but the opponent's elite level far exceeds theirs. Before the numbers of both sides are overwhelming, quality is the key to victory or defeat on the battlefield.
Another point is that in terms of top-level military force, Xiliang can completely crush the entire Liangzhou land.
Many families have already begun to prepare for a retreat. They do not think that the three major families in Liangzhou have the possibility of fighting with King Li of Xiliang. They must find a retreat for themselves first.
Otherwise, due to Xiliang Wang Li's policies towards the aristocratic family, the family land would probably be gone by then.
While the land in your hands can still be sold, sell your property first and exchange it for money before you can feel at ease.
As a result, powerful landlords began to sell their fields in Liangzhou. For a while, the price of the fields continued to drop. With more people selling, the price would naturally decrease.
Some businessmen in Liangzhou were very happy. They obtained a large amount of fields at extremely low prices, and the Ma family even obtained more than half of the fields.
"Mr. Ma, what do you think of my move?" A young man smiled and said to the young man named Ma: "In a few days, I believe that the surrounding farmland will be in your hands and mine."
"Not bad!" The young man surnamed Ma smiled and raised his glass: "After repelling Xiliang, my Ma family will definitely be able to take a further step. The only pity is that there are some people who are beyond our reach on the Han family and the Pang family."
"Take it when it's good. It's already great that we can gather all the fields in Fufeng County into our hands!" The young man smiled and shook his head: "Just the fields in Fufeng County have already put a lot of money in the hands of our two families.
At the end of the day, even if the Han family and the Pang family allow us to go over and acquire it, we two families will not have the funds anymore."
"Indeed!" The young man named Ma nodded: "I don't know how long this war will last. It would be great if Zhangye County is still in the hands of my Ma family."
"The war will not last too long!" The young man said confidently: "As long as you three families show strong strength and firm belief and make Xiliang suffer, the king of Xiliang, Li Xiang, will retreat on his own."
"Although Xiliang is strong, their background is there. Li Xiang does not dare to let his army lose too much. When you show that you can resist his attack, he will stop himself.
In addition, the top force on our side does not have an advantage in the army, and the top force cannot form an advantage, so he has no choice but to retreat."
"This is the best thing!" The young man surnamed Ma smiled: "Come and drink to our cooperation!"
