The Xiliang army in the town was attacking everywhere. The reason why they were surrounded by the three coalition forces was that firstly, this army came at night. Their speed was extremely fast, and they even hid the scouts.
Of course, there are other reasons as well, that is, the army in the town has relaxed its vigilance too much. If they had been more vigilant, they would not have been besieged in this town.
After being besieged, they did not choose to fight out of the town because they did not know how many enemies there were outside the town, so they based their defense on the terrain and some buildings in the town.
After waiting for daybreak, they carefully observed the enemy troops on the left and right, and found that although the number of enemy troops was greater than theirs, if they really wanted to fight, these enemies in front of them were no match for them.
That's why they attack everywhere, but the enemies on the frontal battlefield are the most important. They need to destroy these enemies in the shortest possible time.
The enemy's reinforcements are also rushing over, and their reinforcements are not far away, but they must not rely on reinforcements in battle. They have to be independent and destroy these enemies in front of them.
Otherwise, even if they win, the military career of the general in charge of the troops in the small town may be over.
This is cruel, but who made him not send out his scout troops and not sense the enemy's attack in time.
If you make a mistake, you must seize the time to make up for it. These enemies in front of you are the best way to make up for it.
Make up for your mistakes with military exploits.
So when Song Que came to his senses and looked at the battlefield, his men and horses had already joined another enemy army, and the two sides were fighting fiercely.
Their side has become a place of melee. On the other side, a large number of Xiliang troops are fighting against the enemy's troops. The area around the town has become a battlefield of melee.
The battlefield seemed chaotic, but after careful observation, he could still see something, that is, the Xiliang army looked chaotic, but in the chaos, the people of each team were in the same place.
It seems chaotic, but the soldiers still maintain teams of ten people each. They work together on the battlefield to kill the enemy. The most common way is to bully the smaller ones.
And this was the cavalry led by General Deng Zhong. They had already chased the commander of the three-community coalition forces who was fleeing hastily. They captured the commander-in-chief of the three-community coalition forces, and most of the stains on his body were cleared away.
The town was in chaos, and the reinforcements from the other two sides were also rushing closer to the town. After losing the Han family's army, the remaining two armies of the Ma family and Pangjia became much more cautious.
The most powerful thing of the Han family is their cavalry. Without the Han family's cavalry, they have to be more careful. It is difficult to stop the Xiliang army's offensive with the Ma family's cavalry alone.
What the Pang family is best at should be heavy infantry, but heavy infantry can only be used on the frontal battlefield. Their movements are really slow and cannot be like the soldiers of Xiliang headquarters. Although they are wearing heavy armor, they can still walk as fast as flying on the battlefield.
They were just like those soldiers without heavy armor, killing seven in and seven out.
But if you want the heavy infantry of the Pang family to be like them, it is very likely that these soldiers will be exhausted to death before they can fight in front of the Xiliang soldiers.
"General, the town in front has been engaged with the enemy army." Xiliang scout quickly ran to the edge of Luo Mu and said: "The army in Muquan town is at the upper hand, and it is only a matter of time before the enemy fails!"
"Then Mr. Liu has made up for his work!" Luo Mu said to the people on his left and right: "Send my order and the whole army will advance at full speed!"
"yes!"
The whole army Luo Mu mentioned refers to the Extreme Demon Legion. As for other troops, they still have to come slowly. They are not as fast as the Extreme Demon Legion.
If they were allowed to be as fast as the Extreme Demon Legion, it would be like letting the Pang family's heavy infantry legion kill as fast as the light infantry on the battlefield.
It's all nonsense.
Every one of the soldiers of the Extreme Demon Legion is a disciple of the Extreme Demon Sect. They have very strong internal strength, and their bodies are much stronger than those soldiers.
Spending so much money every year is not in vain. All the money is turned into medicinal materials and made into medicinal baths for these soldiers to soak in.
After being polished by medicinal baths and martial arts, the physical fitness of these extremely demonic soldiers is very high, and the best among them can even compare with the soldiers from Xiliang headquarters.
This is why Ji Mo Sect spends so much.
The battle on the frontal battlefield of Fufeng has begun. The Black Dragon in the south leads the Five Dragon Army, which is the Guannai Army, and quickly approaches the Fufeng Plain.
At this time, about 1/3 of the land in Fufeng County had been occupied by the southwestern army. The Ma family's army on the southern battlefield was completely defeated, and the Guan Nei army led by Heilong was invincible.
The cities guarded by the Ma family soldiers in the south were captured one after another, and none of the generals were able to escape. The Five Dragon Army had already gathered a large amount of military exploits in their hands.
The progress of the northern troops was a little slow, because most of the troops from the Baifa troops entered Anding County, and only a small part of the troops continued to move south according to the previous plan.
Because the number of troops is somewhat small, they can only move slowly and cannot divide their troops into separate groups and launch attacks on several places at the same time like they can on the southern battlefield.
We can only gather our troops in one place, and then one after another, pull out the cities blocking the road.
When Xiang Li received news that the Han family's cavalry was returning, he was already preparing to meet the Han family's cavalry.
The 70,000 Han family's cavalry who rushed back from the south are the Han family's last hope and their last foundation.
As long as these 70,000 Han family cavalry are taken down, the resistance in Anding County will be close to zero.
It took more than ten days for the cavalry to come back, and even longer for the infantry army to come back. By the time the infantry phalanx came back, they had already captured more than half of the land in Anding County.
Therefore, these 70,000 Han family cavalry are the top priority!
"Lord, the Han family's cavalry has left Fufeng County." The Xiliang scouts sent news back every once in a while, and they followed the Han family's cavalry all the way.
The Han family's light cavalry also discovered these Xiliang scouts, but they had no way to expel them. Their speed was not as fast as those of the Xiliang scouts.
The opponent's war horses were more explosive, faster, and more durable than theirs. They had also chased those Xiliang scouts, but had gained nothing. Instead, they were almost surrounded by the opponent several times.
Since the other party wants to follow, let them follow. Anyway, those scouts can't sneak attack the 70,000-strong army!
When the Xiliang scouts saw that the other party was not chasing them, they followed the Han family's 70,000 cavalry with peace of mind and observed. As long as the other party did not take action against them, they would never touch the Han family's cavalry.
These cavalrymen are eager to return home. They miss their families and worry about the safety of their loved ones.
So basically, as long as they are not forced to rest, they will even spend their sleep on horseback.
In areas bordering the Xianbei, Qiang and other ethnic groups, they had long learned from those grassland tribes how to live, sleep, and eat on horseback.
Only when they reach a place where they can set up camp, the army will stop and rest. It is true that they can sleep and eat on horseback, but in this way, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will be greatly reduced.
The quality of sleep on horseback is much worse than when camping on land, and war horses also need to rest.
They have two horses per person, which speeds up their march, but the war horses also need to rest. They may be able to run continuously for one day, but they must let these horses rest the next day.
Otherwise, if you meet the Xiliang cavalry on the road, their condition has not been adjusted to the best, or they are not in good condition at all. How can you fight with those Xiliang cavalry?
The Xiliang cavalry are notoriously strong, especially under the leadership of Xiliang King Li Xiang, they are invincible and invincible powerful cavalry.
The cavalry led by Xiliang King Li Xiang seems to have never been defeated once, not only against the Ma family cavalry with Liangzhou cavalry, but also against the ferocious beasts outside Zonghengguang.
The Xiliang cavalry have achieved invincibility and are invincible, and nothing that can scare them has yet appeared.
If they are in a very bad state, facing the Shangxiliang cavalry, their survival may be a problem, let alone going home to see their relatives.
Those Xiliang scouts have been hovering around them, and their news must have reached the ears of Xiliang King Li Xiangta all the time. The other party knew their marching route and their marching speed.
The grassland was unobstructed, and it was difficult for them to escape from the pursuit of the scouts, so they did not want to escape, as long as the other party did not stop them or hinder them.
If you want to ambush cavalry on the grassland, unless you form a huge encirclement with hundreds of thousands of troops and then use a cavalry army to drive them away, you will not be able to pursue and surround a cavalry force.
Especially if the Han family's cavalry has two war horses, they can switch to another war horse to speed up.
"Finally out of Fufeng County!" Li Xiang stood up from his seat and stretched: "What are the Han family's considerations?"
Li Xiang led the Xiliang army straight to Anding County, Anding City, which is the base camp of the Han family. Because of his faster speed, the senior officials of the Han family in Anding County basically did not escape.
After the army surrounded Anding County, Li Xiang sent his troops to slowly capture the surrounding small cities.
We can't blame him for being too fast. Who made Anding County so close to Fufeng County and Zhangye County?
Looking at the map, Anding County looks like a finger sticking out of a fist. Most of its territory is on the grassland. The area they occupy is rich in iron ore resources.
Therefore, the Han family is unwilling to give up the land on the grassland no matter what. This makes the land occupied by the Han family a bit strange. 1/3 of their territory is in the grassland, and 1/3 of their territory is in Tianshui County, where the Pang family is located.
The remaining 1/3 of the territory will be handed over to Zhangye County and Fufeng County.
Tianshui County was relatively desolate, and the territory extending to the grassland seemed a bit dangerous, so the county seat of Anding County was placed not far from Fufeng County and Zhangye County.
So Li Xiang easily surrounded the county with his army, but there were 70,000 defenders in the county, and these soldiers were not the newly recruited soldiers.
Instead, they were elite veterans who had fought with the prairie people on the grassland for many years. They guarded the county, so that Prime Minister Li could only watch from the outside.
His soldiers could storm the city, but the price paid was something that Prime Minister Li didn't want to see. As a county town, the Han family had been running it for hundreds of years. The city's walls were as high as 21 meters.
Li Xiang did not have any large siege weapons in his hands, and there was not much wood around him. He could only build some ladders and rely on the ladders alone to reach the city wall. Who knows how many people would die.
Even if he is a great master like Li Xiang, he cannot forcefully break into a county's city. The opponent has the prefectural city seal in his hand. If necessary, he can summon Daqian Guoyun to suppress Li Xiang.
Daqian's national destiny is now recovering, and even the great master Li Xiang does not dare to confront it. The previous confrontation in the northwest land is still fresh in Li Xiang's memory.
It was a place without much national destiny. Although counties were established in the northwest, not many people in the northwest felt a sense of belonging to Daqian.
This caused the national destiny in the northwest to be somewhat weak. In addition, various things happened frequently within Daqian at that time, which led to the weakening of the national destiny.
Li Xiangzai relied on his energy to fight outside the pass and enter the pass to resist the wave of oppression. In the land of Liangzhou, he would not dare to do this again.
He is not afraid that he will be in danger. Even if he is suppressed by the fate of the country, the enemy will not be able to kill him even if he has a great master. What he is afraid of is the casualties of his soldiers.
He can withstand the oppression of the national destiny, but the soldiers under his command cannot.
While he was paying attention to the location of the Han family's 70,000 cavalry, he constantly sent people to spread rumors in the city and persuade the Han family to surrender.
The Han family is the weakest of the three major families, and its geographical location is not very good. Due to the rise of the grassland tribes, their pastures are being lost step by step, even though they have built heavy infantry one after another. and cavalry.
But they still couldn't resist the attack and suppression of the grassland tribes. There were too many people in the grassland tribes, and the enemy came and went without a trace. When the heavy cavalry arrived, the enemy had already gone away.
The light cavalry was no match for the prairie people, and the heavy infantry could only be responsible for defending the safety of the city.
The grassland people are not fools. They are encroaching on the Han family's pasture little by little. Every time they seize a little bit, if the Han family sends troops, they will stay far away.
After the Han family's cavalry leaves, they will retaliate. If they can't get pasture, the Han family won't be able to graze.
At present, their main attack areas are the Han family's pastures, iron mines and other places. They have not gone there yet because there are a large number of heavy infantry there. These heavy infantry cannot pursue them, but for defense, the cavalry does not dare to lean over.
Therefore, the Han family is a family that can be recruited. The Ma family and the Pang family can also be recruited if they defect to them, but judging from the Fufeng battlefield, this is a bit impossible.
