Several mighty armies attracted countless eyes wherever they passed. When I decided to summon so many armies, I no longer thought about how to hide it.
Because so many troops are dispatched, unless they take a trail or some very remote road that even the locals don't know, this only reduces the risk of being discovered.
But if this happens, the marching speed of the army will become extremely slow. Although Xiliang started this war, there is not much time left for them.
Therefore, Prime Minister Li no longer wanted to hide other forces, and asked these people to rush to the dock as quickly as possible, and then take a boat straight to Zhangye County.
In this way, even if the other party knows that the army is dispatched, it cannot get an accurate number and does not know how many troops are sent to fight.
Originally, I just planned to destroy the small grassland, but now it seems that I have to deal with the two surrounding neighbors to make them calmer.
And the Buddhists need to be taught a lesson to prevent them from jumping up and down, and those who don’t know think that Xiliang can’t deal with them.
Therefore, this battle is extremely important to Xiliang, as it is related to their future development. Basically every war is crucial to Xiliang.
Other forces have a deep foundation, so they don't care, but Xiliang does not have the same foundation as they do. Every battle is a turning point for Xiliang.
What Li Xiang needs to do is to make every turning point solid and develop in a good direction.
The troops coming from Qingxi Grassland felt that there were a large number of ships waiting on the edge of a river in Jiuyuan County. They took their horses and walked into the huge troop transport ship.
This is a type of ship unique to Xiliang. They do not have as strong an attack power as other ships, but they have unique abilities in transporting troops.
It can transport cavalry, infantry, and war machines. If you transport cavalry, you can transport more than 500 people at a time!
This is a very large number, and this kind of ship is very easy to build, so this kind of ship can often be seen on the rivers of Xiliang.
When there is no war, this kind of ship is Xiliang, a ship used to transport various supplies, and at the same time, farmers from the Central Plains come to Jiuyuan County.
Most of them came to Jiuyuan County on such boats.
Not long after boarding the ship, the prairie warriors who came from the grassland to the ship showed a sense of fear, or to be precise, they were not adaptable.
They are natural cavalry, and they are unstoppable when galloping on the battlefield on land. But on the ship, they feel a weightlessness, the sky is dark, and the earth is dark, which makes people want to vomit.
People with high cultivation levels adapt quickly. With their strong strength, they can adapt to various environments. Such boats that want to sail on the river are nothing to them.
A sea-going ship traveling on the sea would be a real disaster for these nomadic cavalry.
"Chief, our tribe has not avenged its revenge yet, so we followed Xiliang to fight. This..."
In a room, a senior tribe leader said angrily to the clan leader: "Aren't they going to use us as cannon fodder?"
"Don't call me clan leader!" Opposite the tribe's senior leaders is the clan leader of the Zhunterte tribe. He is wearing the armor assigned by the Western Union. The black armor and his burly body allow him to follow the most elite people outside.
There is not much difference between the soldiers in Xiliang headquarters.
"I've told you so many times, call me general from now on, we are now the Zhunter Army."
The leader of the Zhunter tribe looked at the senior officer and said meaningfully: "Not everyone in the Xiliang army is qualified to be cannon fodder, and not everyone is qualified to be a soldier.
It is our honor and our luck to be able to go out with the Xiliang army this time, so we put aside the complaints in our hearts and put Xiliang's affairs first.
Moreover, the Zhunter tribe has disappeared, and the Zhunter tribe that remains now is the Zhunter tribe, do you understand?"
The senior manager's eyes narrowed when he heard this, his hand on the table tightly grasped the edge of the table, and then he said with a bit of unwillingness: "Understood!"
"Now that you understand, why don't you go down quickly to appease the tribe? I don't want to hear other voices." The leader of the Zhunter tribe looked into the eyes of the senior officials: "Tell them that from the day we joined Xiliang, we We are already Xiliang people, no longer the prairie people on the prairie. We can live a farming life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset like the Dagan people who we have envied for a long time.
Instead of grazing herds in the severe cold and heat on the prairie, our children can go to school to study. We will also return to the prairie again to find our people and kill those who have offended us one by one. .”
"yes!"
The senior tribe leader bowed his head in response, then bowed and respectfully exited the door.
On a huge battleship not far away, Zhuo Bufan put down a cup-like object in his hand and chuckled to the people around him: "It seems that General Zhunter is really focused on our Xiliang, let the people under his command keep an eye on it." Now, don’t make any mistakes.”
"General, don't worry. There are a large number of headquarters troops in Xiliang Fudi. Even if these prairie people make trouble, they will probably be killed before they even step out of the cabin."
A young man following Zhuo Bufan said with a chuckle, his words full of ease.
Indeed, around the waterway where they were located, soldiers from the Xiliang headquarters could be seen marching forward on both sides of the strait, and from time to time, giant beasts seven or eight meters tall could be seen.
Behind these giant beasts were dragging huge carts, and it was unknown what was piled on them. They were wrapped in pieces of strong animal skins, making it impossible to detect what was placed on these carts.
Under such protection, even if the Zhunter tribe rebels, they will not be able to escape from the cabin.
"Don't be careless." Table Bufan glared at the young man fiercely. The smile on the young man's face immediately disappeared and he stood aside respectfully: "These grassland people will die if they die, but if so many transport ships are lost, , how long will it take before we can move our troops south?
If they have any trouble, take action immediately."
"yes!"
"Get down!"
After the young man left, Zhuo Bufan looked at the vast river. Countless transport ships were slowly moving forward. The people he brought would be transported to Zhangye County in thirty batches.
Those soldiers who have not yet boarded the boats will walk on land until the boats return. Then those at the front will board the boats and leave, while the rest continue on their way.
"I hope you won't disappoint me!"
Zhuo Bufan looked away when he saw the flag of Zunter Corps...
