The Great Chanyu of the Qiang people could not believe the news he heard, but he would rather believe it than believe it. He sent more scouts back to Balong Lake to investigate the situation.
"Chanyu, why don't I go back too!" An old man with white hair appeared next to the big Chanyu: "I've been feeling something wrong these days, as if something happened!"
"That's good work!" Da Chanyu saluted the old man respectfully. Even if he is the king of the Qiang people, facing this old man, he should be respectful to him, because this old man and another old man in the Balong Lake Holy Land
With his existence, he was able to suppress the Xianbei people on the grassland.
At the same time, because of the existence of the two of them, they were able to stop Buddhism from advancing eastward.
The old man nodded and left the tent directly.
The Great Chanyu thought for a while and decided to summon people from all the major tribes. He also needed to tell other tribal leaders about this matter. If this matter was true, then they would be in big trouble.
The tribe on the other side of Baron Lake has gathered nearly 1/3 of the Qiang people. Losing so many people at once is a major blow to the Gun tribe.
After the Xianbei tribe discovers their weakness, they will definitely not let them go. Then they will still need to deal with the Xianbei tribe's attack.
There is no friendship between tribes on the grassland, only eternal interests!
While he sent people back to investigate the issue at Lake Balon, he ordered his army to continue attacking the Xiliang army surrounded in Hyrule.
As the heavy rain stopped, the fighting between the two sides became more intense. Xiliang's outermost defensive position had been lost. For this reason, the Qiang side paid nearly 100,000 casualties.
But the casualties were worth it. They had broken through Xiliang's outermost defense and it was also Xiliang's strongest defense.
The armies of both sides began to engage in hand-to-hand combat, with swords clashing with each other, and people fighting with each other.
In the vast grassland of Hylar, a symphony of blood and fire sounded.
The earth became smelly because of the blood, and the lake water in Hyrule became thick and bright red because of the blood.
The Xiliang army is resisting tenaciously. They stand tall and tall like puppets at the front, behind them are the soldiers of the Eighth Army holding long-range attack weapons.
The black armor on their bodies became pitted due to the long-term fighting, and the swords and swords in their hands also had small holes due to the fighting.
The bloody wolf flag of Xiliang still stands and flutters high in the sky despite being besieged by millions of Qiang tribesmen.
Although the spies on the grassland focused most of their attention on the Chaos World because of the changes there, there were still many people left watching the battle in Xiaocaoyuan.
Especially when they knew that the main force of the Qiang people besieging Xiliang was in Hailar, the interest in these people's hearts was aroused, and countless people rushed here.
Hailar is a very famous low-lying area on this grassland. It is named after Hailar Lake and is called the pearl of the grassland.
At the same time, the water and grass here are abundant, and it is also a place that countless grassland tribes want to compete for. However, the tribes that occupy Hylar first are all invincible, because the geographical location of Hylar is too low compared to other places.
Those who occupy Hyrule first will be at a geographical disadvantage, and the surrounding cavalry can be in high positions and charge against those inside Hyrule.
Therefore, they really want to see how the Xiliang cavalry and Xiliang infantry can break the deadlock, or whether the Qiang army can destroy Xiliang's army and cause the greatest damage to Xiliang since its establishment.
The army of Xiliang was established and won more than it lost. The army often suffered heavy losses due to wars, but there was no single loss that left Xiliang exhausted.
They want to see where the Xiliang King Li Xiang will go after the hundreds of thousands of troops in Xiliang were wiped out by the millions of tribal warriors in the grassland.
In their hearts, this army is already the most elite army in Li Xiang's hands. After this elite army disappears, Li Xiang's rule over Jiuyuan County and Liangzhou will no longer exist.
Jiuyuan County may be better. After all, it is the base camp of Xiliang. At the base camp of Xiliang, Prime Minister Li still has a large number of soldiers from Xiliang headquarters.
However, seeing that Li Xiang is so weak, there will definitely be many careerists who will attack him. Their attacks will not succeed, but they will definitely cause chaos within Xiliang.
As long as Xiliang is brought into chaos, Xiliang will no longer be able to launch external attacks like this while continuing its domestic and economic construction.
The major forces have never seen such a special force as Xiliang, because Xiliang's army fights abroad every year, but the construction of Xiliang's internal affairs has never stopped.
Due to long-term campaigns, many forces can plunder a large amount of resources from other places and these resources can at best maintain military expenses and cannot develop the economy at all.
However, Xiliang developed while fighting. Now Xiliang's Jiuyuan County has become the most famous county in the Eastern world.
It can also compete with the rich counties in the Central Plains. Maybe given Xiliang a little more time, Jiuyuan County will far surpass the major counties in the Central Plains.
After all, the commercial value of Jiuyuan County can now compete with that of the Imperial Capital. Although items from the Western World account for more than half of the transaction volume, as long as they can receive that much tax, that will be enough.
What merchants value is all kinds of goods from the Western world. Before those Western merchants leave, they will also buy items from the Eastern world.
All trade between the two sides is completed by these merchants. Of course, the southwest side accounts for more than half of the trade. At the same time, these merchants will also be charged a large amount of commissions and taxes when trading.
Xiliang has made a lot of money, and many people are jealous and hate Xiliang because Xiliang blocks them from getting rich, from investigating and understanding the Western world.
But what can they do?
This mountain road was opened by Xiliang himself. No one knows how much manpower and material resources Xiliang spent on this road. They only know that Xiliang has gradually become one of the economic centers of the Eastern world by relying on trade with the Western world.
.
The background is ineffective against Xiliang. Except for the emperor who can stabilize the king of Xiliang and Prime Minister Li, no other major force in the world can say that it can stabilize Xiliang.
So they can only envy and hate!
If the Xiliang army is defeated on the grassland, those who are keen on this trade road will definitely not miss this opportunity!
Those people just said that the uprising failed and the things they did failed had no impact on their major forces.
Anyway, they didn’t ask those people to do it, they were just secretly helping Yitianluo!
It’s time for Xiliang, which is in full swing, to feel the beatings from society.
However, the premise of all this is based on the destruction of Xiliang's army and the destruction of this elite force. Only then will they have the opportunity to cause trouble.
Otherwise, everyone’s heads may fall off!
So they just looked at this battlefield from a distance, staring at this battlefield carefully, and all the disturbances on the battlefield were in their eyes.
When they saw the Xiliang infantry fighting bloody battles with the grassland people, when they saw the soldiers of the Eighth Army fighting bravely to kill the enemy, these spies from the Central Plains felt a little blushing.
As the major forces in the world work in detail, they have to be very clear about the major forces in the world and some of the major events that have happened. They know how the Qiang people on the small grassland treat the Daqian people.
They also knew why Xiliang's army was fighting. Xiliang's expedition to the grasslands probably had two purposes. One was to protect the safety of the northern border of Liangzhou, Bingzhou and other places, and the other was that Xiliang wanted to capture the small grasslands.
Just like how they took over the Qingxi Grassland, they turned the Qingxi Grassland into their own land in Xiliang. Xiliang has already had the experience of taking the grassland into its hands once.
Perhaps they just want to take the small grassland into their own hands this time and turn it into their flesh and blood workshop. Think about the fact that the entire small grassland is full of cattle and sheep, and there are people from Xiliang everywhere.
At that time, there was no shortage of meat and other things in Xiliang, and all the major forces knew how good the quality of life of civilians in Xiliang was now.
As long as you work hard, the whole family can have enough food and some meat. If you work hard and have some brains, eating meat every day will not be a problem.
These are all based on Xiliang, which has a large amount of grain and huge pastures. Because of the Qingxi grassland, there is no shortage of various meats in the Xiliang market. Coupled with the supply from the Chaos World, Xiliang Now it has become a place where countless cases around the world turn their attention.
If the wealth of the imperial capital lies in the major families and wealthy businessmen, then the wealth of Xiliang lies in the farmers, villages, and the real ruler of Jiuyuan County, King Li Xiang of Xiliang.
All the major forces in the Central Plains did not want Li Xiang to take over the small grassland, but because of the hatred between the country and the family, they could not stop it and could not stop it.
We can only hope that the Qiang and Xianbei people on the small grassland will be more powerful and defeat Xiliang's army, or wipe out all his troops and let Xiliang feel the pain.
Now there is such a good opportunity before the Qiang people.
So the craftsmen looked at the battle in front of them. Xiliang soldiers were fighting bloody battles and refused to retreat. Every time the Qiang people took a step forward, they left behind a large number of corpses.
In front of the heavy infantry, there was even a pile of corpses higher than one person. The southwest heavy infantry was like a meat grinder on this grassland. No matter how many people the Qiang put in, they would be killed by those heavy infantry. Stack their bodies in one place.
Make everyone terrified!
On the front of the battlefield are Xiliang heavy infantry, on both sides are spearmen holding spears, and further back are sword and shield soldiers holding shields and swords. They cooperate with each other and help each other.
The soldiers of the Eighth Legion used long-range weapons to carry out long-range attacks on the enemy. The war machines did not stop for a moment, as long as the parts were not damaged, and as long as the people operating these machines did not fall.
They kept making roaring sounds, bringing death to the grassland tribe soldiers.
The battlefield is huge, stretching for dozens of miles, and you can't see the end of the battlefield at a glance.
Xiliang was on the defensive. The Xiliang soldiers in the encirclement firmly believed that the Lord would lead the cavalry and that their plan would be completed well.
Zhangye County
Zhang Qingyun, who was in the city of Zhangye County, did not know about Li Xiang's plan. To be precise, except for a few people from the Xiliang headquarters, no one else knew the real plan.
They all just completed the tasks assigned by their ideals, so when Zhangye County received the army from the north and was surrounded by the prairie people, Zhang Qingyun panicked.
After the early logistics supply line was completed, Zhang Qingyun led the officials of the Northwest Yamen to start follow-up logistics support for the soldiers on the grassland.
"Now that the Central Army is surrounded by enemies, and my lord is deep in the grassland without knowing where to go, what do you think we should do?" Zhang Qingyun sat on the high hall, although he was extremely anxious in his heart, he remained calm on the surface.
The generals he summoned were all generals from various places, who had the right to command troops, and they had many troops in their hands.
"The battle between the Seventh Army and the Tulu tribe is over. There won't be another war in a short time. Why don't we let the Seventh Army go to support Hyrule?" a general said tentatively.
The Seventh Legion fought with the Tulu tribe for a month, and both sides suffered heavy losses. In the end, the Tulu tribe could no longer fight and retreated.
The Seventh Legion also suffered heavy losses after defeating the Tulu tribe. After the logistical support came in, although it recovered some combat effectiveness, if it could go down to support Hylar, it was very likely that it would never come back.
"This is a way!" Zhang Qingyun frowned and thought for a while and said: "But if only one army of the Seventh Army goes forward, it may be eaten by the opponent. All generals have troops in their hands, and the Lord is here
Before leaving, give me the right to mobilize. If the generals gather their troops, there will be more than 100,000 people. Together with the troops of the Seventh Army, the army will gather nearly 200,000. If we go, we will definitely be able to control the middle road of Hylar.
The army rescued them."
The generals present were hesitant when they heard Zhang Qingyun's words. The troops in their hands were all soldiers who surrendered. They selected elite soldiers from those who surrendered, and then stationed them in their hometowns according to their place of origin.
In addition to these soldiers, there are also soldiers from Xiliang headquarters stationed in various places, but they are not under Zhang Qingyun's command.
"This is a good idea!" said the commander of the Eighth Army: "Our Eighth Army can also mobilize about 50,000 elite troops, which can also be incorporated into the rescue army."
"Then do this!" Zhang Qingyun decided that he must rescue the army in the middle.
However, this time he did not see his lord on the battlefield, which made him feel very confused. He always felt that his lord was holding back something!
