Chapter 397

"Who asked him to get out?" The commanders of the three major families gathered together. They were all a little surprised when they received the news that troops from Xiliang were besieging the front line.

They knew that they were very close to the Xiliang army, but before they thought of taking the initiative to attack, their men had already led their troops to surround a Xiliang army.

Only now did they receive the news.

The entire army's layout changed drastically due to the dispatch of a unit from the front line.

The Xiliang army in the south is overwhelming, fighting all the way from the south to the north. It will take at most half a month to reach the Xiliang army to the south of them, directly opposite them.

That is, the Extreme Demon Legion led by the craziest Luo Mu. Apart from their own army, Xiliang is also afraid of the Extreme Demon Legion led by Luo Mu.

There are many legions in the Seventh Legion, many of which have some outstanding military achievements, but the one that scares and fears them the most is the Ji Mo Legion led by Luo Mu, the elder of the Ji Mo Sect's outer sect.

The soldiers of the Ji Mo Legion are all composed of disciples of the Ji Mo Sect. They are not afraid of death. If there is no order to retreat on the battlefield, they will always move forward or fall on the way forward.

No one will choose to retreat or run away.

These soldiers are proficient in the art of killing. They like blood. In the blood, they will become violent, and the combat power they unleash is much stronger than other armies in the Seventh Legion.

This is their horror.

You must know that in an ordinary army, after the losses reach more than 30%, the army will begin to suffer moral disintegration. If there is a better general, it can be stopped.

If the generals cannot make timely adjustments, such a morale collapse is likely to lead to the collapse of the army.

After the number of army losses reaches four levels or more, most of the armies will be defeated, needless to say after five levels.

But for an army like the Extreme Demon Legion, they will fight to the last soldier.

Put life and death aside.

But why did Li Xiang put the Extreme Demon Legion on the frontal battlefield? It was to frighten the enemy.

At the same time, powerful armies were deployed in the north and south directions. If the armies of these three families fought against the Extreme Demon Legion on the frontal battlefield, the armies from the north and south directions would directly penetrate behind the armies of the three families.

Because on the battlefield, there is no place to display all the millions of troops. Even if there is such a place, the millions of troops are just a decoration.

Only the middle part is really fighting, and the others cannot help at all. Once the army in the middle is defeated, it is and is likely to be a counter-help.

A rout can easily cause a chain reaction. In this case, the enemy's central army needs to be defeated, and the troops on both sides will run and rout along with the central army.

Moreover, following the Jimo Legion, there are a large number of Xiliang troops and some troops from other legions, and there are even 10,000 Xiliang cavalry watching eagerly.

This is also the reason why the commanders of the three major families did not attack. They were trying hard to spy on the intentions of the Xiliang army and wanted to know the next destination of the Xiliang army.

Only by knowing the enemy's goals can we prescribe the right medicine.

At the same time, they planned to disperse their armies and defeat Xiliang's armies one by one, instead of stupidly being pinned down by the enemy on the frontal battlefield.

But before they started to move out, their men had already led a large army to surround a Xiliang army. The frontal battlefield was likely to break out because of this conflict.

At this time, they received news from the Han family that Li Xiang, the king of Xiliang, had personally led his cavalry to Anding County where the Han family was located.

The commander-in-chief of the Han family suddenly panicked. According to Xiliang's march route, the Xiliang army in the north should reach the grassland in front of Yishui County and go directly south.

Going south from that direction, there was no city blocking their progress, and they could directly reach Fufeng Grassland. However, no one expected that the Xiliang army would actually reach Yishui County.

Moreover, the leader of the team was actually Xiliang King Li Xiang. How could this make the Han family headquarters panic?

His hometown was immediately taken over by Li Xiangdou, but he was still fighting the Xiliang army on the frontal battlefield?

If our family is gone, what's the use of fighting this war?

Even if they repel Xiliang, the cities occupied by Xiliang cannot be taken back, and they have no ability to take them back.

The money was used to help their strong men, but the other party just wanted them to consume Xiliang's army and let Xiliang continue to waste time in the land of Liangzhou.

There is no time to participate in the battles in the Central Plains.

Asking the other party to help them get back the land occupied by Xiliang is just nonsense.

"My Han family's army will be sent back to Anding County immediately." The commander-in-chief of the Han family said bluntly: "Otherwise, even if we win this war, the Han family will just make a dowry for others."

The two commanders-in-chief of the Ma family and the Pang family listened silently. They also knew about this matter and were not qualified to persuade him.

Because if the Han family's stability army is really gone, they will not be able to take back that county. Can anyone get the meat back from the tiger's mouth?

The three major families united together just to resist Xiliang's attack. If they were really capable, they would not be forced to defend, but would take the initiative to attack Zhangye County and take Zhangye County back.

But the reality is that they can't fight against Xiliang. If it weren't for the help of top players from the south, they might not be able to survive this year.

Even if the Xiliang side did not dispatch the Grand Master, it would be difficult for them to stop Xiliang King Li Xiang on the frontal battlefield.

It is true that a grand master will not take action against enemies below a grand master, but the problem is that Li Xiang is not only a grand master, he is also the commander-in-chief of an army.

It is well known that he is a general who leads the charge on the battlefield, so no one can restrain Prime Minister Li.

Once he led the Xiliang cavalry into the battlefield, they had no master who could compete with him. Coupled with the blessing of the Xiliang cavalry, no army could withstand Li Xiang's penetration.

He didn't need to kill many people, he only needed to break through the battle formation composed of the three families' armies, and let the cavalry behind them penetrate it.

Once their army's military formation is broken, what awaits is nothing but a massacre.

"General Han, please excuse me."

The commander-in-chief of the Ma family said: "If you need help, just ask!"

"I need a supply of food and grass. I will lead 70,000 cavalry back first, and the remaining infantry will slowly come back. I will leave it to the two generals to provide the army with food and grass."

The Han family sent out 70,000 cavalry this time. These were all armored cavalry, the best among the best.

The last glory of the Han family.

"no problem!"

General Han nodded and glanced at the generals in the tent with a solemn expression: "I'll leave it to you all to take care of the frontal battlefield. Han, please go first."

After the commander-in-chief of the Royal Han family finished speaking, he clasped his hands and strode outside the camp. The cavalry had already gathered outside.

When they heard that their hometown was attacked by Xiliang King Li Xiang, these soldiers from Anding County were eager to return home. This is their roots and their home.

They came out to protect their home. It was their home in the rear, but it was stolen by the enemy. This made the soldiers feel angry and a little worried at the same time.

They were worried about the safety of their relatives at home. The Xiliang army was advancing very fast, and there were not many important cities in Anding County.

All Liangzhou soldiers are well aware of the combat effectiveness of Xiliang soldiers. The only ones that can block the advancement of Xiliang soldiers are those heavy cities or fortresses with high walls and deep pools.

Ordinary cities cannot stop the advancement of Xiliang soldiers. Due to its geographical location, Anding County does not have many important cities compared to Zhangye County and Fufeng County.

As a result, the walls of these cities are not very tall and there are basically no moats.

Those important cities are all in the north, and the remaining elite troops are also in the north. The Xiliang army came directly from the east, and was led by Li Zhen, the king of Xiliang, who was known as the massacre.

This can't help but make them worried.

So after receiving the news, they immediately gathered together without any delay, brought enough food and water, and were already waiting for the general's arrival outside the camp.

In the past, they would not have been so straightforward, and they would have dragged on for a while.

Time is life to them now. Returning to Anding County early and returning to Anding County late have different meanings.

Now they can only pray that the cities in front of the Xiliang army's advance can be blocked for a while until they return to the original Anding County.

Each cavalryman has two horses, one for placing weapons, armor, etc., and one for the cavalryman to ride.

Nearly 150,000 war horses galloped toward the northwest. Such a scene can only be seen in the grasslands or the Daqian border.

There is no shortage of war horses on the grasslands, and there is no shortage of war horses in the counties and counties on the border. What they lack is the food and grass that can feed the war horses.

The tribes on the grassland can easily pull out tens of thousands of war horses, but why are the prices of war horses still so high? This involves issues of distance and food.

The food and grass needed to raise a war horse is equivalent to raising five or six soldiers, and to raise a horse, you must provide him with a groom. During war, the food and grass used by war horses are more refined than those used by humans.

So being able to feed hundreds of thousands of war horses is no simple matter.

If the three major families had sufficient food and grass, they would also like to directly raise hundreds of thousands of cavalry like the grassland people, but they do not have that much food and grass, nor do they have such lush pastures.

Xiliang scouts could not detect what happened in the armies of the three major families if they were inside, but when the Han family's 70,000 cavalry ran north.

The Xiliang scouts immediately grasped this key point. They knew more about the news from the north than the three major families in front of them.

When they saw the cavalry regiment leaving in a mighty manner, they knew it must be the Han family's troops.

The Han family's troops supporting the Fufeng battlefield this time were approximately 600,000, including 100,000 cavalry, 70,000 armored cavalry, and 30,000 light cavalry.

The rest are 500,000 infantry, 300,000 are elite troops trained a long time ago, and 200,000 are new recruits who have just been recruited.

Because the Han family is the weakest among the three major families, the number of troops sent this time is also the smallest among the three major families. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, the Han family's army is not weaker than the other two major families.

Especially the 70,000 cavalry who just left on horseback were the cavalry that the Han family had made with all their strength. This cavalry had been fighting with the grassland people in the north all year round.

Because of this iron cavalry, the north of the Han family was much more stable. Otherwise, given the habits of the Xianbei, Qiang and other grassland tribes, how could they give up invading Anding County.

The Han family's cavalry left, and the pressure on the frontal battlefield was reduced a lot. The Han family's infantry and other cavalry who would definitely follow behind also left. Therefore, on the frontal battlefield, General Luo Mu had to face the Pang family and the Ma family.

Xiliang scouts immediately spread the news to the north and the direction of Luo Mu.

Unnamed town.

Song Que got his wish and came to the front line. He was put on a thick set of armor, which was made of a mineral that was only slightly worse than black iron.

There is also a thick layer of beast skin inside the armor, which not only effectively resists attacks from weapons, but also if it is attacked by heavy weapons, the skin inside the armor can also reduce a large number of attacks. The key is

Very good at keeping out the cold.

After putting on the armor, Song Que understood why the Xiliang army could still launch wars in the dead of winter.

This kind of armor cannot only be worn by generals. Basically every soldier in Xiliang headquarters has such armor, but the quality of the beast skins inside varies.

From top to bottom, the helmet, mask, armor, gloves, kneepads, boots, and important parts that need defense are all made of iron. The parts that are not particularly deadly are sewn from the skins of vicious beasts.

These armors are very easy to disassemble. When chasing the enemy, if you feel that the armor is in the way, you can just take off the armor and throw it to the side.

On the battlefield, you may see soldiers chasing the enemy throwing their armor to the ground.

After doing this, Song Que felt that it would cost more than a hundred taels of silver.

He finally knew where the gold and silver earned from Xiliang had gone.

However, such a set of armor can only be controlled by those soldiers from the Xiliang headquarters who have practiced and are extremely talented.

The armor is too thick. If you are a cultivator, you must be at least a martial artist at the first level to be able to fight freely.

Putting on the mask, the biting cold feeling from the cold wind disappeared, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, looking at the dark enemy in the distance.

Song Que was filled with excitement. The soldiers on the opposite side also saw tall soldiers from the Xiliang headquarters, all covered in black armor.

Seeing the Xiliang headquarters soldiers dressed in black, they couldn't help but panic.

Some of them had fought against Xiliang Headquarters and were aware of the ferocity of the soldiers from Xinliang Headquarters. Those who had not fought against each other had heard their seniors talking about these soldiers.

So when they first saw the soldiers from Xiliang Headquarters, they felt fear.
