The Qiang soldiers hurried back to Balong Lake. When they knew the truth of the matter, no one could resist their desire to go home, and no one dared to stop them from going home.
At this time, these Qiang warriors turned into wolves. If anyone dared to stand in front of them, they would tear each other to pieces, even the leader of all the Qiang clan, the Great Chanyu!
The senior leaders of the tribe were eager to return home, so the real power holders of the Qiang tribe could only lead the army to retreat. They knew that if they continued to fight the Xiliang army, the final result would be that these warriors from the tribe would fade away on their own.
Without tribal warriors in their hands, they simply cannot continue to fight the Xiliang army in Hylar.
But can they leave?
After Bu Er, who was surrounded, received the news from Li Xiang, he had not received the news before. It was a Qiang army that surrounded them too tightly, not to mention the Xiliang messengers, even a bird flying from the sky
If you pass, you will be shot down by those people.
Among the tribal warriors of the Qiang people, there are many types of marksmen, and the best among them can shoot down eagles in the sky.
Therefore, only after the Qiang army retreated, did the soldiers sent by Li Xiang pass the order to the soldiers.
Bu Wan did not have time to convene the generals to discuss, but directly issued orders and asked people to convey his orders to the generals of each army so that they could prepare.
He personally led the Xiliang cavalry to set off, and the Qiang army retreated very quickly, but it was not in a panic, but in an orderly manner.
The Qiang army on the front has not retreated yet. If there is no orderly retreat sequence, once the enemy sees it, it will be a disastrous consequence for any army.
The senior Qiang people don’t know whether the surrounded southwestern army knows what’s going on at Balong Lake. They don’t dare to bet, and they can’t bet.
They had already experienced the fighting power of the Xiliang headquarters army and the Eighth Army that were surrounded by them in the days of fighting.
If the retreat order is chaotic, the opponent will definitely pounce on them and bite them. Those Xiliang soldiers are more ferocious than the tribal warriors who are crawling and fighting on the grassland.
Let the other party see the opportunity and never give up!
Therefore, they first asked the troops that intercepted the Xiliang army's retreat route to retreat back, and the troops on the frontal battlefield stayed still. If the Xiliang army found a problem, they would be the troops behind and responsible for intercepting the Xiliang army.
Bu Er led the cavalry to the front of the opponent's camp and saw the Qiang troops still waiting inside. It seemed that the opponent's troops on the front battlefield had not retreated yet, but the troops on both sides and those responsible for intercepting had retreated.
The next step is the time for all the opponent's troops to retreat. The tricky thing for Concession 2 is that the Qiang tribe seems to have persuaded the Xianbei tribe's troops.
While they were fighting the Qiang people, the Xianbei people were watching from the side, and at the same time they were constantly putting pressure on the Xiliang army from the side.
Fuji never relaxed his vigilance against the Xianbei people.
There are only two super-large tribes on the small grassland, the Qiang and Xianbei people. Many years ago, the small grassland was not the place where these two races were located. Instead, there were a large number of nomadic peoples who lived together on this small grassland.
live.
Ever since the two races of prairie people from the other side of the prairie arrived here, they went on a killing spree on the small prairie, killing almost all the tribes that originally lived on the small prairie.
Only some of them fled to the grassland near the barren mountain area, never daring to set foot where the two large tribes were.
The Qiang and Xianbei people did not continue to pursue them because there were also strong men in the other tribe. Once they were cornered, it would be of no benefit to the two tribes.
Anyway, the grassland near the barren mountain was very poor in supplies, and there was a big gap compared with where they were.
Rather than losing both sides, it is better to give that area to those tribes. Anyway, other places on the grassland are enough for the two tribes to survive.
After those small tribes disappeared, the two big tribes began to fight with each other. The fights on the grasslands were often over water sources and pastures.
The battle between these two races is accompanied by blood and fire. Often, one tribe destroys my tribe, and the other tribe destroys yours.
These warriors from the tribe grew up in blood and fire, so their fighting power is very powerful.
Bu Er had previously observed the weapons and equipment of the soldiers from the Xianbei tribe. They were all elite troops. They should be the elite troops sent by the Murong clan of the Eastern Xianbei tribe. They were supposed to join forces with the Qiang tribe to deal with him.
However, after seeing that the Qiang people had the numerical advantage, they kept wandering around. As long as there were no big problems with the Qiang people, they would not take the initiative to enter the battlefield.
In this way, they can preserve their strength to a large extent, because they know very well that before defeating the Xiliang army, the two races were allies and friends.
But when Xiliang is driven out of the grassland by them, they will become competitors and mortal enemies again.
Since they are all mortal enemies, why not let the other side suffer heavy losses?
Therefore, the Xianbei army has been watching from the side and has not actively intervened in the battlefield. Now the Xianbei people must also know what happened at Barong Lake, the holy land of the Qiang people.
The Holy Land of the Qiang Tribe has been captured by the lord, which is a huge blow to the entire Qiang Tribe. At the same time, the civilians captured by the lord are also an important means of hijacking the Gun Clan warriors.
The Xianbei people are absolutely unwilling to see the Qiang people surrender to Xiliang, so they will definitely help the Qiang army retreat back to Balong Lake to fight against their lord.
They will not snipe on the frontal battlefield, but when they pursue, the opponent will definitely attack from the side.
The more Bu Er thought about it, the more troublesome he felt. What he lacked most was cavalry. Xiliang also had a large number of horses, but the number of cavalry in Xiliang was only 1/10 of the infantry.
Because raising cavalry costs so much, Xiliang can be called the only one in the world with this ratio.
Even the imperial capital did not have such a configuration as Xiliang, and the largest number of infantrymen were infantry, and the cavalry numbered only fifteen thousand.
However, he still has a large number of war horses in his hands. Most of the Xiliang soldiers can ride horses and can fight on horseback.
This resulted in nearly 50,000 more cavalry in the army, but they were still very small compared to the nearly one million Qiang army.
If the extra 50,000 cavalry were all Xiliang's cavalry, he would still have the courage to charge forward, but the problem is that most of the 50,000 cavalry are soldiers of the Eighth Legion mounted on war horses.
It is difficult for these ordinary war horses to lift up the soldiers of Xiliang headquarters, who are wearing heavy armor and are huge in size, so the extra 50,000 cavalry can only wander around in the side, looking for opportunities.
It is difficult to become the main force!
Another point is that he is afraid that the Qiang people will kill a carbine. The Xiliang soldiers can indeed restrain the cavalry charge, but this is when they form a battle formation.
Once they did not form a battle formation, no matter how powerful they were, they would only be able to kill one or two enemies and be trampled over by the opponent's horses.
And now, they were in a prairie with an unobstructed view. On such terrain, if they had not prepared in advance, they would have allowed the cavalry to charge and attack.
Most of his troops were infantry, and tanks and other equipment had been lost in previous battles, and he could no longer assemble them as quickly as before.
It is no longer possible to directly use chariots to build a thick defensive wall to block the opponent's cavalry charge as before.
The materials they carry can also block the cavalry's attack, but with so many materials, can they catch up with the prairie cavalry?
After Bu Er led his cavalry to wander outside the Qiang camp, he returned to his own camp. At this time, he no longer had the same joy as at the beginning.
At first, he was very happy when he received the call to counterattack, but now that he thought about it, he felt that it was extremely difficult. Most of the troops under his command were infantry.
How to chase cavalry with infantry!
Moreover, it was easy for the opponent to seize the opportunity to counterattack. The Xiliang army, which was about to follow suit, returned to calm after a period of commotion.
Xianbei army
"This Xiliang King Li Xiang is really not so fierce!" Murong Tiecheng, the commander-in-chief of the Xianbei army, sighed after reading the news from Barun Lake: "With 50,000 cavalry, we can
Breaking through the blockade of hundreds of thousands of cavalry, even killing all those cavalry, and capturing nearly ten million Qiang people, no wonder the clan leader asked us to come to support the Qiang people."
When they saw the Qiang army besieging the Xiliang army before, they were a little puzzled, because the Qiang army easily surrounded the Xiliang army.
Then millions of troops took turns to attack. The southwest army defended very poorly, but in the midst of the millions of troops attacking, they still lost their position bit by bit.
As long as human lives are used to eliminate demons, this Xiliang army can be wiped out. Therefore, in the eyes of these Xianbei people, they came here just to watch a show.
Then they received news from the Balong Lake. They didn't know how many killings King Li Xiang of Xiliang caused during the heavy rain, which dyed the entire Balong Lake blood red.
I don’t know what means King Li Xiang of Xiliang used to capture nearly ten million people and defeat hundreds of thousands of Qiang warriors who stayed there.
Now they only know that the biggest difficulty is coming. The Xiliang army led by Xiliang King Li Xiang is far stronger than the army led by other generals. This is a well-known thing.
Li Xiang is the pillar of the Xiliang soldiers, the spirit and courage of the Xiliang soldiers. If someone can kill Li Xiang on the battlefield, then the Xiliang army will probably collapse.
But who else in the world can say loudly that he can definitely defeat Prime Minister Li?
Among the things that came from the Central Plains, there was one called the list of generals. The first one on the list was Li Xiang, the king of Xiliang. Li Xiang did not appear in the list of generals and lords of power, but appeared in the list of generals.
On the list, appear on the list of the top players in the world.
He may be the most powerful among all the generals, but no one blames him because as soon as he comes out, he appears as a general.
He is invincible on the battlefield, and his troops charge into battle with him. Basically, as long as he is around, Xiliang soldiers will not show any fear.
That's why they felt that the biggest difficulty was coming now. What kind of violent storm would King Li Xia of Xiliang cause on this grassland? What kind of killings would the Xiliang soldiers under his leadership cause?
The real war between the two large tribes and the Xiliang army began.
"Report!"
A soldier ran in quickly: "Report, Commander-in-Chief, the northern scouts have sent news that the entire seventh legion of the Xiliang Army is heading south and will arrive at Hylar in five days!
The Tulu Army and the Seventh Army stopped fighting a month ago. When the Seventh Army went south, the Tulu Army also sent some troops to go south, and it is expected that the Xiliang Army will arrive one day later."
Murong Tiecheng laughed when he heard this: "Is this where all the armies are going to gather together for a decisive battle?"
The two armies of Xiliang are merging, and they don't know what kind of fighting power the Xiliang army will unleash after its numbers increase again.
Next, they will join the battlefield, join the gun clan army, and fight against the Xiliang army together.
"Order the entire army to be prepared. Once the Xiliang army attacks the Qiang army, all ministries can attack first without waiting for my order!"
Soldiers are valuable and quick.
If you slowly ask him to send troops, the opportunity to fight will be delayed!
So he gave these high-ranking tribal generals the autonomy to attack, and he believed in these people under his command.
The senior generals of the Qiang tribe nodded one after another, looking at the location of the Xiliang army on the big map hanging behind them, their eyes eager to try.
As a general, who wouldn't want to challenge the Xiliang Army, which is now known as the second strongest army in the world.
The Xiliang Army, which has been fighting for many years, is now second only to the Imperial Army that guards the imperial capital in Bai Xiaosheng's rankings. Some people even say that the Xiliang Army has already surpassed the Imperial Army.
south
Zhang Qingyun led the army to run wildly. Of course, there were a large number of scout troops and light cavalry surrounding the army. They were responsible for protecting the safety of the loyal infantry.
Once the enemy is discovered, they will issue a warning in advance, and then the infantry will be ready.
"General Manager, this is the news from Hailar Lake!" A general said to Zhang Qingyun with a smile on his face: "Well, they received the news from the Lord that the Qiang people's holy land of Balong Lake is now missing from our west.
Liang's battle flag, the Qiang army is preparing to return to Balong Lake, and the lord ordered General Bu Er to lead the army to bite the enemy."
"Okay, okay!" Zhang Qingyun let out the dull breath in his heart and laughed: "I knew that the lord would not let us down. He ordered the troops to speed up their advance. We will take a rest nearly 30 miles further.
