Dark clouds shrouded the sky over the city, and there was silence in the middle city at night. This city was not in the northwest region, that is, the city on the Jiuyuan County side. On the Jiuyuan County side, the lights were bright even at night.
But during this process, there was silence. Except for a few lights on the city gate and the city wall, most of the area was in darkness.
Rows of soldiers wearing heavy armor walked past the main streets from time to time. The city has been under military control since it was captured. Everything serves the army and everything follows the command of the army.
Those officials who come from the northwest Yamen must also obey the officers who are in this city. In this city, the army is the strongest and the supreme ruler of the city.
Total, total, total...
In the dim night, Xiliang soldiers walked from outside the city into the city. Some people who were not asleep in the house heard the sound of uniform footsteps outside, and terrifying figures instantly appeared in their minds.
They have not forgotten the scene when the three major families fought against Xiliang, and the smell of blood has not yet dissipated from the land of Liangzhou.
The figures of the Xiliang headquarters soldiers were deeply imprinted in their minds. As long as they heard the uniform footsteps outside, those terrifying soldiers would instantly appear in their minds.
Everyone held their breath, and no one dared to stick their head out and look outside through the window to see what was going on outside.
In several restaurants, there were people looking at the streets outside from high places. When they saw the troops entering the city from outside, they were already prepared. However, when they saw these troops appear, their hearts sank.
The war machine of Xiliang is still in action. Xiliang launches wars almost every year, either moving eastward and launching an attack on the Central Plains, or advancing to the west or the prairie.
Basically, there was no stopping. There was a big battle every year, which made Xiliang soldiers the best in the world in terms of combat experience. Coupled with their strong physique and sophisticated weapons and equipment.
This made Xiliang soldiers stronger and stronger.
These people who were observing in secret did not dare to make a sound, for fear of being discovered by people outside. When the Xiliang army appeared, the Xiliang scouts would also appear.
The Xiliang scouts are different from the southwest soldiers.
They are the most feared beings in the Xiliang army.
These people are just afraid of the Xiliang scouts, afraid that these all-pervasive people will suddenly appear in front of them.
Li Xiang and his personal guards have rushed to Zhangye County City. In the city lord's palace, all the senior officials from Liangzhou will meet at one place. The garrison generals in various places have sent their lieutenants or gone there themselves.
"Everyone has arrived, let's start the meeting!" Li Xiang waved his hand, and the soldiers from the rear brought a pile of notebooks in the evening and placed them in front of the generals sitting in their respective positions.
"This is your mission. You and your soldiers should follow the instructions above. Of course, if something goes wrong sometimes, you can change the plan or course of action in time.
This thing is just a reference for you, you just need to complete the final plan!"
The general below opened the paper. There were not many things on this paper, but it specified where they were going and the marching route.
Behind the paper was the supply of weapons and equipment they had received. They took this paper to the logistics department to receive food, grass and weapons.
Soon the generals read what was written on the paper. It clearly stated where they were going. As for how to deal with enemies when they encountered them on the road, that was their problem.
Li Xiang never asked about this, because he believed that only those soldiers on the first front could decide how to fight.
Of course, if a large army is fighting, Li Xiang will have full command from the rear, but if he divides the army into countless branches and attacks the vast prairie together like now, if he can command these soldiers again like he commanded the decisive battle.
The final result was that these soldiers died on the battlefield. No matter how detailed the map drawn by the Xiliang soldiers was, it could not compare with the scene.
Moreover, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and you never know what kind of environment the soldiers are fighting in.
The environment and climate have a great impact on the battlefield, and can even affect the situation of the battle.
Therefore, frontline matters are still left to the soldiers on the frontline to resolve.
"Lord, if this happens, will the later supplies of our army be too large?" A general of the Eighth Army said: "Moreover, if we are broken into pieces, will we be defeated one by one by the Xianbei army? The strongest of the grassland tribes
It is their cavalry, and the grassland is their home field..."
This general broke down the doubts and worries of all the generals present. Although each army numbered more than 10,000 people, they had to face the entire Xianbei army.
The number of Xianbei troops exceeds one million, and may even reach three to four million. This is a very terrifying race. And their Liangzhou garrison plus the garrison on the grassland, both sides are dispatched, and the number will not exceed
Three hundred thousand.
Until now, they still don’t know how many people have been mobilized from Xiliang!
"You don't need to worry about this!" Li Xiang said with a smile: "As for the supply issue, I will give each of your armies four months of rations at a time. You need to solve the water source yourself. On the way forward for each of your armies,
, all need water supply.
You need to store your own water sources and four months of food and grass, enough to last until the next supply arrives, but you need to arrive at the point I specified on time.
Supplies will be sent out in two months."
Li Xiang raised his head and looked around at all the generals: "The scale of this battle is greater than before. You 300,000 people are just a partial force on our side. The real main force will follow me.
We want to kill the Xianbei people in one battle, turn the small grassland into our horse farms in Xiliang, and turn the major tribesmen on the small grassland into our horse herders.
Only in this way can we show our fangs to the Central Plains. You don’t want to have a pair of eyes and a long knife staring at you behind your back, and give you a knife when you are not paying attention!"
"I don't want to!" The morale of the generals present was high and they looked at Li Xiang with extremely hot eyes. This was the first time they heard Li Xiang say that he wanted to conquer the Central Plains, and it was the first time they showed their ambitions.
The soldiers in the Xiliang army don't want the army to enter the Central Plains!
