"Report!" The soldier covered in snow crossed the book and came to a general in heavy armor: "General, the grassland people have crossed the glacier and are heading towards our camp!"
"Okay, you go down and rest first!" Zhuo Bufan opened the map, "The glacier is less than 80 miles away from our army camp. It seems that the grassland people have planned this action!"
"Whether he was premeditated or acted randomly, we will eat them all!" A tall general next to Zhuo Bufan said disdainfully: "If there weren't too many of these prairie people, they would be a bit troublesome.
My cavalry can eat them up!"
"If the other party dares to act, it means that they are ready to deal with our cavalry!" Standing next to the tall man occupying the area, a relatively frail man said: "I thought we could have a good New Year, but I didn't expect
These prairie people actually went out again!"
"Since they won't let us have this good year, let's use their blood to pay tribute to this snow-white earth!"
The words of the skinny general were full of murderous intent. Zhuo Bufan pondered for a while: "Don't rush now. Let's act according to the plan we made before. We still have to wait for our army to come over for this battle!"
"The main army is 300 miles away from us. Only six hours have passed since we discovered the people on the grassland. The soldiers who sent the order may have already arrived. What can we say if the army wants to move in such a snowy weather?
It will also take a day or two to arrive.
In our previous operations, we focused on the headquarters army. If the headquarters army cannot arrive, there will be big holes in our defense line!
How about we change the defense plan?"
The thin general suggested.
Table Bufan shook his head: "If our main army was here, we could change the defense plan, but now the main army is trapped in Qingxi City due to university, and the only one who can operate in such a snowy weather is our own army.
But what you said is true, so I will personally lead the personal guard battalion and station it where the main army should be stationed."
The attack on the prairie hostages was very sudden. They had not received any news before. They had already made plans on the prairie. There were many small tribes on the edge of the prairie who were willing to provide them with news.
However, from the time when the prairie people launched their attack until now, no news has come from those small tribes. It may be because of the heavy snow. However, with such a large legion action and so many troops dispatched together, even if the heavy snow besieges those small tribes, they will be unable to move.
OK.
But there is always a little bit of news, but there is no news from there, which makes Zhuo Bufan feel a little uneasy. There may be a problem with their intelligence system over there in the prairie!
Now is not the time to dwell on this issue, it is more important to block the prairie people's attack and defend this area!
I really can’t figure out how the prairie people attacked them under such huge snow. The snow on the prairie is now half a meter thick. Even for cavalry, it is very difficult to move.
But even under such a situation, the prairie people still launched an attack!
"It's very dangerous over there. It's better to let the general go there." The tall general who spoke very arrogantly before said: "My cavalry and I can take on this important task!"
It's not that this tall general is bragging, but because he and his troops are trained according to the training methods of the heavy cavalry regiment of the Western Alliance, and the war horses they give birth to are all the war horses of the headquarters and the very high-quality females on the grassland.
The product of horse union.
Although it is not as good as the war horses of Xiliang headquarters, it is stronger than most of the war horses on the small grassland.
In addition to the knights under him, each one is a tall and strong man carefully selected, and the goal is to unite with Xiliang's heavy cavalry.
Although it is not as good as Xiliang's heavy cavalry in terms of combat effectiveness, it is much stronger than most cavalry, especially against the prairie cavalry on the other side of the prairie.
In the past few years of battles, this heavy cavalry regiment has shown its majesty. Most of the cavalry on the prairie ran away when they encountered them. Only a small number of heavy cavalry wearing heavy armor could compete with them.
They have become an important force on the Qingxi Grassland. At the same time, they are also the pride of the Ninth Army and the pillars of the Ninth Army.
After all, each of the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Legions has its own powerful unit. The most powerful of the Seventh Legion is the former Extreme Demon Army.
However, the Extreme Demon Army lost all its power in the battle in Liangzhou, and now the main force of the Seventh Army, their representative army, has become the Five Dragon Army.
The Eighth Legion is led by the head of the Cheng family himself. This legion may not be as powerful as other legions in terms of offense, but in terms of defense, they can compete with Xiliang's own legion.
They are best at defense. After all, at the beginning, the Lord planned to use the Eighth Army as a local garrison. Later, due to the lack of troops, the Eighth Army was included as one of the main battle armies.
However, the Eighth Army is also good at defense. Most of the armaments and supplies they receive are mainly for defense. On the battlefield, they are the safest and most dangerous army.
After all, they often follow the Shenji Battalion, and most of their tasks are to protect the soldiers and war machines of the Shenji Battalion, which also results in them often encountering the enemy's elite troops.
No one will let the Shenji Battalion bombard the main army on the side, so after the enemy discovers the Shenji Battalion, they will definitely send their elite troops to attack, and the first one to encounter is the Eighth Army.
Their ninth legion is different from the seventh and eighth legions. Their mission is to be stationed in the Qingxi grassland. They face the Qing tribe on the prairie. Compared to the other two legions, they appear to be very free.
And in terms of war, they have to experience less than the other two legions. The other two legions have to go to war almost every month. As long as the prairie people on the other side of the prairie do not come over, the ninth legion will go to war.
No need to fight.
However, from the middle of last year, when the lord led the main army to fight in the small grassland on the edge of Liangzhou, the tribes on the grassland began to become uneasy, and even frequently sent troops to their Qingxi grassland.
However, the number of troops sent out a few times was very small, or some light cavalry came over, and they were easily repelled.
So I didn’t expect that the cold winter is coming, the earth is covered with snow, and the New Year is about to come.
Those prairie people on the prairie are not preparing to celebrate the New Year in their own prairie bags, but they come all the way to their Qingxi prairie to seek death.
"Needless to say, you are very strong, but my guard battalion is not weak." Zhuo Bufan, as a general who once faced off against the Xiliang Headquarters Army on the battlefield, knew very well how powerful the Xiliang Headquarters Army was, and he also
Understand the character of these soldiers.
In order to reassure Li Xiang, all his personal guards were Xiliang headquarters soldiers, a total of 2,000 Xiliang headquarters cavalry, which was also a group of Xiliang headquarters soldiers that he could directly mobilize.
If he was sentenced to Xiliang, these soldiers would become the sword that killed him, but since he followed Xiliang, he never thought about betraying Xiliang.
After all, there is no force in the world that can reuse him like Xiliang. The old prince's family is also living well under the care of Southwest. They have not suffered any persecution from Xiliang, but have enjoyed all the things Xiliang has given them.
.
In order to reassure him, Li Xiang even allowed the old prince and his family to move to Qingxi City. Now the old prince is in Qingxi City.
The two children are also growing vigorously in the city, and will soon reach the age where they can practice. At that time, he can teach these two children to practice, or he can send these two children to Xuantian Sect, the first sect in the northwest.
Practice, but he has a better choice.
That is to send these two children to Jiuyuan City, under the eyes of the king, and enter the Taoist sect to learn.
Taoist Master Qingsong may be the weakest among the many great masters in Xiliang, but he is the most powerful one trusted by the king among all the great masters.
By sending the two children to the hands of the strong men around him, he felt at ease and could serve the king here on the Qingxi Grassland.
Putting aside the unnecessary thoughts in his mind, Zhuo Bufan said to his generals: "You only need to hold on for three days. If our army has not arrived after three days, you can retreat on your own, but before retreating you must
Send a message to friendly forces and alert surrounding friendly forces!"
Zhuo Bufan and others divided the defense line into five areas, and an army must be stationed in each area. Thanks to the attacks of the prairie tribes this year, otherwise they would not have placed so many troops in this fortress.
.
There are a total of 18,000 people in the city, and 2,000 of them were brought here by Zhuo Bufan from Qingxi City. He brought supplies to reward these soldiers and planned to rush back in the next two days to celebrate the New Year in Qingxi City.
It's a pity that we hit it by mistake, just in time for the invasion from the prairie, so yesterday I and my generals had already set up a defensive line.
The glacier is a river that flows out of the mountainous area from the Qingxi grassland to the prairie. Every winter, this river will be frozen, and war horses can gallop across it.
The troops and fortresses on the Xiliang side were mostly built on the glacier side. The tribes on the other side of the prairie did not dare to cross the river because they knew there were people guarding them there.
"It seems that I have been prepared for it!"
Li Xiang calmly looked at the commotion in front of him. Needless to say, those crossbows were war machines built by Xiliang just from the sound.
It was supposed to be used to deal with other areas, but unexpectedly it was used to kill his soldiers.
It seems that there are more and more moths in the army, and these people should not be trusted.
Those bed crossbows that have been eliminated by the Xiliang headquarters will either be used by the seventh, eighth, and ninth legions, or they will be thrown to the north and destroyed directly when they are damaged.
Now these people are openly shooting Xiliang soldiers. You don't need to guess or think about which legions these things come from.
Because of the importance of the bed crossbow, every time it is destroyed or damaged, it will be recorded. But after this battle, you only need to send someone to check, and you will know which moths are causing trouble. Who are reselling materials to collaborate with the enemy!
"It's been too long since I took action, and some people really treat me as a paper tiger!" Li Xiang's heart boiled with murderous intent. He can stand here, become the king of Xiliang, and occupy so much land because of his Xiliang.
Our soldiers and sophisticated war machinery.
Now, someone is using the war machine built by it to shoot his soldiers. How could he not be angry and kill them!
More and more red dots on the mini-map were approaching him. The soldiers from the newcomer headquarters rushed over from behind as quickly as possible after hearing the harsh sound of gongs.
The soldiers in front were intercepted. The enemy was well prepared. Every one of those responsible for the assassination was a good soldier and had good cultivation.
Therefore, even if Xi Liang is not a soldier, he cannot quickly deal with these assassins when facing them.
The opponent's martial arts training was not in vain. The strength of each assassin who could take on the task of assassinating Li Xiang should not be underestimated, so for a while the soldiers from Xiliang headquarters could not get close to Li Xiang quickly.
And those Templar Knights surrounded Prime Minister Li layer by layer, and they used their lives to defend Prime Minister Li from the crossbow arrows.
Damn!
Li Xiang drew his sword and looked at the sky with squinted eyes.
boom!
A huge hammer fell from the sky and headed straight for where Prime Minister Li was.
"kill!"
Four black figures rushed towards Li Xiang from all directions, with a speed like ghosts. In the eyes of many people, it felt as if their eyes were dazzled. The four people had already rushed to the Templar Knights.
The Templar Knights also reacted in time, but they were no match for these four black figures.
It was a weapon in human hands. The heavy armor on the Templars was torn like paper when swung. The soldiers fell from their horses, and blood was spread all over the bluestone slabs.
They have only one target, and that is Prime Minister Li, who is among the Templars!
Li Xiang swung the long sword in his hand, and a sword energy struck the sky. The huge hammer broke into two halves, fell from the air, and hit the restaurants on both sides.
Rumble!
In an instant, dust filled the sky, and the assassins in the restaurant were beaten to death. However, the four black figures had already rushed to Li Xiang's side. The weapons in their hands were all weapons specially designed to break Gang Qi.
The four people fled very fast, but Li Xiang moved faster. The long sword in his hand flew out instantly and passed through the body of a black figure.
Then he pulled out another long sword, and another black figure was stuck on the city wall. The remaining two figures had already escaped hundreds of meters away.
Li Xiang wanted to kill him, but found that there was not much Qi in his body. Most of the Qi in his body was used to suppress the injury. He could not mobilize it at this time, and those people did not fight with him in close combat, so he could only watch.
