Even when Bu Er wanted to launch his troops to chase the Qiang gun army, the Qiang army suddenly turned around and Bu Er launched an attack on the army in Hylarna.
Bu Er wanted to pursue the Gun Clan army at that time, but he never expected that the Qiang Clan army would suddenly turn around and attack, which caught him off guard.
In the early stages of the battle between the two armies, the Xiliang army relied on the help of the heavy infantry phalanx of Xiliang headquarters to withstand the attack of the Qiang army.
However, the continuous attacks of the Qiang army made it difficult for them to resist for a while. The army's defensive front was shrinking little by little, and they were unable to resist the fierce attack of the main force of the Qiang army.
Bu Er, as the commander of the main force of Xiliang, when he saw the counterattack of the main Qiang army, although he did not know what was happening on the Qiang side, he could feel the anger and fighting power emanating from the bodies of the Qiang army.
.
Hailar is the place where the Xiliang army gathers. The main force of the Xiliang army gathers here. Their purpose is to attract the main force of the Qiang people.
When they were besieged by the main Qiang army, the lord Li Xiang, king of Xiliang, led an army to attack Balong Lake and helped them solve their biggest difficulty on the grassland.
At the same time, let them know that their role on the frontal battlefield is to attract the main force of the Qiang people. Only by attracting the main force of the Qiang people can they help the army.
After they attracted the main force of the Qiang people, the main attacker Li Xiang personally led the Xiliang cavalry to attack Balong Lake, causing the main force of the Qiang people that surrounded them to retreat.
But after they received the order from the lord, the lord ordered them to entangle the main force of the Qiang army. Just when they liked this order, the Qiang army quickly retreated.
They wanted to send a large army to drag the Qiang troops into the rear. They were horrified to find that the main Qiang army suddenly turned around and launched a fierce attack on them.
This was unbearable for them for a while, because the army in their hands had already suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Gun Clan army.
Therefore, after being severely damaged by the Qiang army at the scene, Bu Er immediately returned his troops to the camp. He was afraid that his troops would be attacked by the Qiang army again.
Around the camp, he has a large number of guards and various traps that have been laid out before. These traps can help him resist the attack of the Gun Clan army.
This is also one of the reasons why he brought back his army. Anyway, there are a large number of traps and defensive measures around the camp, which can effectively resist the attack of the Gun Clan army.
He believed that after the lord knew that the Gun Clan army had counterattacked, the lord would definitely send other troops to support him, in addition to the troops from the Seventh Army Corps he had received before and the troops sent by General Manager Zhang Qingyun.
He is confident that he can withstand the attack of the Qiang army here.
The words of the Qiang leader made the originally low morale of the Qiang people instantly become high-spirited. The gun warriors were instantly full of blood and magic. Everyone was looking forward to the encounter with the Xiliang army.
In the minds of these Qiang soldiers, only by defeating the Xiliang army can they obtain a large amount of resources, enough to enable their tribesmen to survive the cold winter.
They had plundered various cities in Liangzhou before, because the materials stored in those cities made them feel that there were a lot of resources in various cities in the south.
They only need to break up those cities to obtain a large amount of resources, so that their people can survive the cold winter.
So when they knew that the enemy they were facing was an army that was really thin on important supplies, these Qiang warriors became excited.
They have imagined that by breaking through these cities guarded by soldiers from Xiliang headquarters, they can obtain a large amount of resources and make their people's lives better.
Even if their tribesmen do not need to graze everywhere on the prairie, they can still obtain a large amount of food and winter materials.
So they exploded the last bit of power hidden in their hands, every Qiang warrior broke out, and they usually showed the limit.
When they were fighting, their fighting power was even stronger than that of the Xiliang soldiers.
They know very well that only by defeating the Xiliang army can the civilians living on the grasslands live a better life, and can the people of their own ethnic group live a better life.
When they received the order from the Great Chanyu to wait, they did not need to think too much about the deep meaning of the Chanyu's order. They only needed to understand the superficial meaning of the order.
That is to defeat the Xiliang army in front. After defeating the Xiliang army, they can obtain the materials in the hands of the Xiliang army and rescue the civilians captured by Prime Minister Li from the Xiliang army.
This is their mission, this is their destiny.
Therefore, these Qiang warriors, without any scruples or timidity, marched towards the Xiliang army's position.
Because they knew that only by driving the Xiliang army out of this grassland and defeating the Xiliang army in front of them could their people return to this grassland.
Only then can we graze herds on this vast grassland again, and only then can we repopulate this grassland.
Bu Er was caught off guard by the Qiang warriors at first, because they received news that the Qiang holy land was broken by the Lord. These Qiang warriors and Qiang soldiers wanted to recapture their holy land.
So the Qiang army launched an attack on the other side of Balong Lake, and the people on that side of Balong Lake were the master of the Xiliang army, that is, Li Xiang, the king of Xiliang.
If these people want to attack Xiliang King Li Xiang, they are attacking their Xiliang army.
So Bu Er led his army to attack the Qiang army in an attempt to delay the Xiliang army here.
But what he didn't expect was that the Gun Clan army would turn around and attack him. The other party did the opposite, so Concession 2 was caught off guard.
However, Fuji quickly reacted and led his troops to resist tenaciously, making it impossible for these gun clansmen to complete their goals.
Bu Er led the army back to the camp he had built before, where he prepared various defensive traps and war machines needed for the position one by one.
Because of the rush, he didn't lose many men, and he always had enough men. Under his command, every soldier went to where they needed to go.
Soon the entire Xiliang camp became airtight, every soldier appeared where they were needed, and the entire army was preparing for the future war.
The soldiers of the Seventh Legion also arrived at the battlefield. Their arrival was due to the sudden attack by the Qiang army, which caused heavy losses to the Xiliang army. The camp, which was originally short of troops, instantly became stronger.
"Lord, at present, there is less than 150 miles between the Qiang vanguard force and our army!"
On a relatively high ground somewhere on the grassland, Li Xiang and the Xiliang cavalry were resting here.
This time he came out with only about 40,000 troops, and the remaining 10,000 troops stayed at the Baron Lake side. Many enemies were captured. Similarly, a large number of herdsmen are fleeing every day.
Even if he activates the continuous sitting method, if a family of herdsmen escapes and the surrounding herdsmen fail to warn them in time, they will be regarded as accomplices and all will be killed.
But this was so cruel that even the sitting method could not prevent the grassland herdsmen from escaping. Those Qiang people who took refuge with him also acted in a counter-intuitive manner. They were respectful on the surface, but secretly kept letting them go.
Li Xiang didn't say much, as long as he didn't catch him, he would kill everyone he caught.
However, he took more than half of the cattle and sheep in the hands of the herdsmen to the other side, and the 10,000 cavalry he left behind drove them to other places in the night.
The food stored by the major tribes had been turned to ashes in the fire, and the civilians of those tribes could only kill them and keep the cattle and sheep as seeds.
Otherwise, the whole family will starve to death!
This is Prime Minister Li's conspiracy. This year, these grassland people did not go out to graze, and they all gathered on this grassland. This grassland is only so big, and the number of cattle and sheep that can maintain the current pasture is barely enough.
In other words, the Qiang people on the grasslands had no extra food except the cattle and sheep in their hands, and Li Xiang took away more than half of the food in their hands.
Even if the Northern Expedition to Xiliang fails, the Qiang people will slowly disappear in this cold winter, and there will be a large population loss.
On the grassland, especially in winter, food is very important. Without food, they can only starve to death in the cold ice and snow.
Winter was not like now. In winter, when they went out, there was heavy snow. Except for the food stored in the tribe and the tribes near the river where they could get some fish, there was no other place to get food.
Also in the cold winter months, some ferocious beasts on the grasslands would launch sneak attacks on these tribes. They were very afraid of humans, but if there was a shortage of food, they would be on the verge of death.
Nothing can stop them from finding food. Anything that can be hunted is food for these beasts.
So even if Xiliang fails, no, judging from the current situation, Xiliang has succeeded.
Li Xiang successfully attacked Balong Lake, and the Qiang people's stored materials on Balong Lake were burned to the ground by Li Xiang!
More than half of their cattle and sheep were driven deep into the grassland by Xiliang. The 10,000 Xiliang cavalry who stayed on the edge of Baron Lake were, to put it mildly, to supervise the Qiang tribe around Baron Lake. In fact, they were controlling those Qiang tribesmen.
The cattle and sheep were driven towards the south.
In order to prevent the grassland tribes from discovering that they had made a large circle, the Qiang cavalry did not dare to approach some places where the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was.
Coupled with the dense Xiliang scouts surrounding them, once these Qiang cavalry appear, they will be attacked by the Xiliang cavalry. On the grassland, whoever's horse runs faster will have the initiative.
Therefore, when these Qiang cavalry see the Xiliang banner and the distance between the two sides is less than 200 meters, they will immediately run away.
If they don't run, death will be waiting for them. The distance of two hundred meters is already very dangerous, and the Xiliang cavalry may rush up at any time.
For safety reasons, the Qiang cavalry will immediately run away when they see the Xiliang cavalry two hundred meters away, and then find a higher place to continue observing.
At the same time, keep yourself hidden so as not to be discovered by the Xiliang cavalry. Once discovered by the opponent, a long pursuit will be waiting for them. If you are unlucky, you will be caught up and killed by the Xiliang cavalry.
In terms of individual combat effectiveness, the Xiliang cavalry crushed them.
"150 miles!" Li Xiang stood up and said to the guards beside him: "Give me the order, everyone pack their things and set off in half an hour!"
When he rushed back after receiving the troops besieging Hailar, Li Xian already had a complete plan, so he took more than 40,000 cavalry under his command and came to the Hailar Qiang troops halfway back.
Without the help of other road troops, the Qiang army, no matter how bold Li Xiang was, he would not dare to lead the tens of thousands of people behind him to go over and fight in. He could indeed kill seven in and seven out.
But if the people behind them can't do it, these elite cavalry who have been trained for many years will probably be killed by the enemy.
These are all old brothers who have followed him in the north and south for many years, especially the 3,000 Flying Bear Army. Several of their commanders are those who survived the first year.
Instead of fighting the opponent's main army, Li Xiang just harassed the opponent on the flanks. It was impossible for nearly a million troops to move at the same time, which gave him a good opportunity.
Eat the opponent's troops outside the main force or vanguard. As long as the opponent dares to divide his troops, he will dare to eat them.
This time, the enemy's vanguard troops numbered between 20,000 and 50,000, which was very suitable for total annihilation!
As long as the opponent's army does not exceed 100,000, Prime Minister Li will have the courage to eat the opponent!
Rumble....
The sound of galloping war horses was everywhere on the grassland. As the vanguard of the army, 30,000 Qiang cavalry rushed at the forefront. They were eager to return home.
Ever since they learned that the Baron Lake side was attacked by Xiliang cavalry, they wanted to go home as soon as possible, return to their relatives and tribes as soon as possible!
So they marched as fast as they could!
"stop!"
The people rushing at the front suddenly realized that something was wrong in front of them. In front, a black cavalry slowly appeared in their eyes, with a bloody wolf head showing its full appearance!
Yu~
The Qiang soldiers pulled the reins and looked at the bloody flag. They all knew what that flag represented!
The Xiliang Army, and also the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, are most likely the army led by Xiliang King Li Xiang!
Li Xiang was at the front of the army. Compared with the black armor of the Xiliang cavalry, he looked extremely bright. Coupled with the bright red robes, the Qiang cavalry at the front focused on him at first sight!
The more colorful you wear, the more conspicuous you are on the battlefield, you are either a fool or a strong man, because the more conspicuous you wear, the easier it is to get beaten, and everyone will look at you.
Li Xiang stretched out his hand and Fang Tian's painted halberd fell into his hand.
"drive!"
Xing Liao began to accelerate, and the Xiliang cavalry following Li Xiang also began to accelerate!
Rumble!
The Qiang cavalry looked at each other. Now they had only two choices, fight or run.
