The surrounding area of Hylar is filled with the sound of galloping war horses, and the war flags of the Qiang tribes can be seen flying in the air. They join forces to fight against the enemies from the south.
This can be regarded as the most unified the Qiang people have ever experienced. Even under the rule of the Qiang Great Chanyu, there are still various contradictions within the Qiang people.
Because living on the prairie, if you want your tribe to live better, you have to seize those sites with lush water and grass. Only those good pastures can feed the people of the tribe.
However, the better pastures are usually occupied by other tribes. For this reason, these tribes often fight over the pastures.
However, due to the rule of the great Chanyu of the Qiang people, the battles between these tribes are no longer direct between the two sides as before. Instead, each side sends a team, and then the two teams fight, and the winning side will get the
Ownership of the pasture for the next five years.
Although it is still brutal and bloody, it seems to be too much at the cost of a tribe's demise compared to the past.
Because of this, the Qiang Chanyu was able to hold this position for more than 20 years, otherwise his throne would have been taken away by others.
Why is this the most united time for a large tribe? It's because both large and small tribes on the grassland have sent the most elite and powerful warriors from their own tribes.
They want to defeat this demon from the south. After defeating this demon, their tribe can plunder again. The last time they plundered, every returning warrior brought back a lot of things.
This allowed their tribe to live a good year, even better than the years they lived with the Daqian Dynasty.
They have already tasted the sweetness, because even if someone dies on the battlefield in the south, the pension for his military exploits will still be sent to his family and his tribe.
The men on the grassland are not afraid of death. They are only afraid that their death will be worthless. They are only afraid that after their death, no one in the tribe will take care of their wives and children, and no one will watch over them.
But now they can plunder and obtain a large amount of resources. As long as the people of the tribe are still alive, these things will fall into the hands of their own tribe.
His wife and family will enjoy these supplies.
However, if they want to win the plunder again, the first thing they will face is Xiliang. The strength of Xiliang has been seen since last winter.
However, the other party really looked down on the prairie people so much that they dared to lead the infantry deep into the hinterland of the grassland. Wasn't this looking down on the prairie people?
Use their weaknesses to attack the strengths of the prairie people!
Now they only need to kill all the soldiers who come to the grassland, so that they can get sharp swords and fine armor, and they don't have to worry about having no food for the winter because they don't go out to herd sheep this year.
Without these Xiliang troops, they can send their troops south and plunder those weak Dagan people!
They can bring back a large number of captives to help their tribe work. These captives can also serve as food in the winter when there is no food.
Therefore, the Gun tribe was very excited. Each tribe sent its most heroic warriors and gave them the best weapons and equipment, in order to destroy the Xiliang army in Hailar, the pearl of the grassland.
All Qiang people support this war!
Unconsciously, millions of Qiang warriors gathered around Hailar. They carried cattle and sheep themselves, which were their army rations.
Weapons and equipment do not need to be provided by others alone. They can obtain very sophisticated weapons and equipment from the tribes themselves. Each tribe has its own private collection of weapons and equipment, but these weapons and equipment are usually hidden and protected. Good.
This was something they bought at a great price from Da Gan people many years ago. If it were lost, it would be gone.
But for this war, their major tribes took out all their weapons and equipment from the bottom of the box, just to win this war.
Bury all these Xiliang people from the south here in Hailar and use them as fertilizer. If these people are buried in the grassland, when spring comes next year, there will definitely be abundant water and grass around Hailar.
When the time comes, they can live a life of herding horses and sheep again. What they like most is riding horses on the grassland, carefree.
To achieve this, the first thing they have to solve is the food problem. As long as the Xiliang people are killed, food will not be a problem.
The weak Dagan people in the south are cultivating grain, and it will all belong to them in autumn. Their grassland warriors can get the grain in their hands by just wielding their swords, and rob the Dagan people who are very good at work. come over.
All the Qiang warriors are dreaming about sending their troops south after defeating the Southwest Army. This year they are no longer able to herd sheep. Because of the arrival of the Southwest Army, they have abandoned large areas with lush water and grass and moved their tribes to Baron Lake. surroundings.
As the number of people increased, these grassland warriors became more and more courageous. They began to provoke the Xiliang cavalry. The Xiliang cavalry faced the grassland Qiang warriors and just showed a disdainful smile.
The light cavalry on the other side can kill more than a dozen each. If they can be kept at a distance, it will not be a problem for them to kill more than a hundred.
Do you think you can win with more people?
War is not determined by the large number of people and the small number of people. The small number of people is only one of the reasons that determine the outcome. What is more important is the eliteness of the soldiers, whether the morale of the soldiers is high, and whether the weapons and equipment are sophisticated...
There are too many factors that determine the outcome of a war. The only thing that the Xiliang army does not occupy is the number of people. In other aspects, the Xiliang army is far superior to these grassland soldiers.
"There are more and more grassland people around the general. It is estimated that they may launch an attack in three days!"
Bu Er gathered all his generals into the court tent, and was responsible for observing the surrounding generals and talking to Bu Er.
"It's their business when they want to launch an attack. How are the defense facilities I asked you to prepare?" Bu Er didn't care about the actions of the prairie people. What he cared about was the actions of his generals.
He was fully prepared, and now he was just waiting for the prairie people to launch an attack.
"We have completed the tasks ordered by the general. The two hundred meters in front of the army camp are full of potholes. If the enemy wants to gallop, it is impossible to come without losing tens of thousands of horses."
The best way to resist the opponent's cavalry on the grassland is to dig a horse trap in front of your own camp. The existence of the horse trap can effectively resist cavalry charges.
The deputy commander of the Eighth Army said: "The fence you asked us to build has been completed. It is piled up of wood and soil. The height has reached 3 meters, and the opponent's horses cannot cross it!"
The best in civil engineering work were the soldiers of the Eighth Legion. These soldiers were originally used to defend the city wall, but after Li Xian brought them to the battlefield, he found that these soldiers were not much weaker than the soldiers of the Seventh Legion in combat. Let them
To guard the city walls and cities, it is still overkill.
So he turned the Eighth Legion into a legion on the battlefield and became one of the main battle legions in Xiliang, but it mostly followed the Xiliang main army.
Only by following the Xiliang headquarters army can the soldiers of the Eighth Army play their greatest role. Their combat effectiveness on the frontal battlefield is still a bit weak, but in terms of setting up camps, defensive facilities and defense on the battlefield, they are better than the soldiers of the Xiliang headquarters.
It's a little weaker, but stronger than the Seventh Legion.
The Seventh Army is strong in offense. It has a large number of powerful offensive troops in the Seventh Army. However, in terms of defense, the Seventh Army is better than the Eighth Army except for the Five Dragon Army.
The Eighth Army is weaker.
These two legions will be separated from the Xiliang main army in the future. Now let them fight side by side with the Xiliang main army, training them on how to deal with powerful enemies on the battlefield, and training them on how to build defensive facilities.
The battlefield is the best teacher. You can learn much more on the battlefield than in the academy.
"We have done everything we should do. What we are preparing now is to deal with the opponent's attack!" Bu Er did not have a trace of worry. Instead, he smiled and said to the surrounding generals: "Lord, the task given to us is to attract the opponent here.
The main force of the opponent has basically arrived here, which means that their defense is now empty!
I guess it won’t be long before we hear good news from over there!”
Bu Er originally didn't want to tell this news, but recently, during his patrol, he saw many soldiers of the Eighth Legion looking downcast.
These soldiers are not as tough as the soldiers from Xiliang headquarters, and they are also afraid. Once their morale is low, it will have a great impact on the army, so Bu Er decided to tell this piece of news.
Anyway, this news cannot be spread to the grassland people, and all soldiers are not allowed to go out. Now the soldiers in charge of patrols are soldiers from Xiliang headquarters. Every once in a while, they will go to major camps to check whether there are any missing people in the camps.
Even if there were enemy spies among the soldiers, spies and the like could not spread the news. They were still nearly five miles away from where the prairie people were.
Spreading the news from such a far away place is not a simple matter. This requires war horses, but within this range, all Xiliang light cavalry and heavy cavalry are patrolling.
Who else can break through the light cavalry and heavy cavalry patrols and spread the news to those grassland people?
Even on the surface of Hailar Lake, there are people looking at the river. It is not that difficult to spread the news.
And according to the news from the lord, the lord is about to take action. Even if the news spreads, the Qiang warriors will not be able to rush back as soon as possible.
"The heavy cavalry led by the Lord and the Flying Bear Army have arrived near the Qiang Baron Lake." Bu Er said with a smile: "So you don't have to worry, you can also pass this news on to the soldiers under your command.
Calm your mind, it won’t be long before the holy land of the Qiang people will become the place where my Xiliang army is located. What do you think will happen to those Qiang warriors when they hear that there is a fire in their rear?"
Gulu!
When the generals of the Eighth Legion heard Bu Er's words, their eyes lit up. The lord's heavy cavalry and flying bear army had actually reached the rear of the Qiang people!
Everyone knows that the holy land of the Qiang people is in Balong Lake, but it is difficult to find this place on this vast grassland. Even if you have a guide, you must pass through some very obvious places and some marked places.
Only in this way can you find the place you want to go, otherwise, you will get lost in the vast grassland.
They never imagined that Chen Huaihe, starting from Bingzhou, would be able to find Barong Lake, the holy land of the Qiang people, on this vast grassland.
What shocked them the most was that their lord actually talked to the scouts here. This was in the vast grassland, and the scouts on their side and the lord's scouts could actually meet and meet together.
They had been fighting side by side with Xie Liang's army for quite some time, but they never knew why the Xiliang scouts could meet so far away.
Obviously the two parties are in a position where you don't know me, and I don't know your position, but we can still meet in that vast place, communicate with each other, and exchange information!
They didn't know that Li Xiang carried a map with him. Li Xiang could sense the presence of Xiliang headquarters soldiers at any time. As long as those soldiers appeared within a certain range, he could see where the other party was, and the other party could also
Sensing his presence.
This feeling becomes stronger as Li Xiang's strength becomes stronger, which is why Li Shang can let two light cavalry meet.
As for why he was able to find the location of Lake Barron, or find exactly what he was looking for in some places he had never been to.
This is because the Xiliang scouts can draw maps, and the drawn maps will be stored in the mini-map of Li Xiang's system. He does not need to look at the map every day like other people. He only needs to follow the map on the system's little map. The system
He will be prompted on the mini map where he is and the direction of his destination.
In this way, he will not get lost and can accurately find the destination he is going to.
"Starting from today, level one combat readiness!" Bu Er felt a lot more at ease when he saw the shock of the generals of the Eighth Army. In this war, it would be difficult for the soldiers from Xiliang headquarters to complete the mission alone, so he needed the help of the soldiers of the Eighth Army.
.
The Eighth Army is very good at defense and long-range attacks. With their help, the mission can be completed more easily and a lot of casualties can be reduced.
Qiang camp.
The Great Chanyu summoned all the senior Qiang people to come together. He was going to make final preparations. In two or three days, they would launch a general offensive and launch the most violent attack on the Xiliang army in Hailar!
