A group of cavalry marched forward in a mighty manner. Dozens of cavalry gathered on a high slope, where they could see far ahead.
"In the past section of the journey, the army completely walked out of the mountains and entered the plains. I don't know what the current situation is like on other routes."
The leading general looked at the plains in the distance and sighed: "If we had such an extra piece of grassland in Guanzhong, our sources of war horses would not need to be curbed by others.
Your Majesty doesn’t need to be restrained by others!”
The Qinling Mountains where they are located naturally has a large piece of flat land, so they don't have to worry about food, but they lack all kinds of high-quality war horses.
If they have a high-quality cavalry in their hands, they will not be suppressed by the major surrounding forces. With their unique geographical location, they are not weaker than other forces in terms of infantry.
But they didn't have much of the most important cavalry on the battlefield. The 40,000 cavalry accompanying the army now already accounted for most of their wealth.
There were less than 40,000 cavalry left in the hands of the King of Qin. From this we can see how scarce war horses were in Guanzhong.
But this time, the battle between Xiliang and Bingzhou Youzhou gave them hope and the hope of obtaining a large number of war horses.
"We must win this battle!"
total!
A war horse galloped from behind. A soldier dismounted and shouted: "General, a message from the front!"
The people around him walked over to the soldier, took the letter and put it next to the general.
The general opened the letter and frowned after reading the contents. Others saw this scene and knew that something must have happened. Everyone held their breath and waited for the general's order.
"Xiliang took the initiative to attack the Youzhou army and surrounded an important stronghold in Youzhou. Tens of thousands of troops were still surrounded by the Xiliang army. Judging from the information in the letter, the army that attacked the Youzhou army should be
It’s the headquarters army from Xiliang.”
The general looked at the people on the left and right and said: "Youzhou hopes that we can support them."
"Under such circumstances, the Xiliang army dared to take the initiative to attack, which shows that they are prepared or have confidence that we don't know about." The general on the side said: "General, this is probably a tough nut, and it's still a tough one.
Even if we win the Xiliang headquarters army, we will suffer heavy losses!"
The partial generals did not agree very much. They already had a mission before setting off, and they did not belong to the Youzhou and Bingzhou army ranks.
The generals of the armies of Youzhou and Bingzhou have no right to command them; their command always belongs to the generals of the King of Qin.
If they go to the Netherworld Mountains to stop the Xiliang army, with the current marching speed, they will definitely not be able to reach the place they had planned before on time.
"If this is an easy bone to chew, the Youzhou army will not let us fight." Another general said coldly: "Although we ask for help from them, it does not mean that we have to obey their orders. General, I
I think we should focus on the previous plan.
The army continues to move forward according to the previous march route. On the other hand, the orders of the Youzhou army will be conveyed to the rear commander as quickly as possible. If the rear commander thinks that we should go to the Netherworld Mountains to stop the Xiliang army, we will make adjustments at that time.
Just go in the direction.
If the commander-in-chief at the rear thinks that we don’t need to go there, then we can rush to our destination according to our previous plan!”
"In this way, whether we rush to the previous destination as planned or turn around and head to the Netherworld Mountains to snipe the Xiliang army, we won't waste too much time!"
The general listened and nodded: "This is indeed a way to get the best of both worlds. Also, you can send fifty scouts to the Netherworld Mountains to collect information about Xiliang's army and its marching route. Our understanding of Xiliang's army has always been
understanding on paper.”
"We know they are strong, but we don't know what makes them strong or what their fighting spirit is like.
So I need their first-hand information, preferably to observe the scene when they collided with the Youzhou army!"
There are also a large number of Youzhou soldiers and scouts left around the Nether Mountains. This is a good entry point to understand the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang army.
The scouts of every army are the elite of the army. The combat effectiveness of an army can be seen from the scouts of an army.
"yes!"
.....
The King of Qin's army did not move forward according to the wishes of the Youzhou generals. Although the route was a bit like moving forward in the Netherworld Mountains, it was more directed towards the main battlefield.
King Qin's army was dispatched. As soon as these troops were dispatched, the spies placed in various major forces in Xiliang also began to dispatch as the army was dispatched.
News from all parties was continuously sent back to Xiliang. The people responsible for handling these issues in the Western Union unified the news. After confirmation, the news was uniformly sent to Prime Minister Li.
As the leader of a force, Li Xiang no longer personally charged into battle as he did in the past. He was more of a man sitting in the rear as a deterrent.
Intimidate the opponent's top powerhouse!
On such a battlefield, the strong men dispatched by both sides can turn part of the battle situation around, and can even determine the outcome of a war.
Therefore, it is very important for the top powerhouse to be in charge. However, in order to deter all forces on the grassland, Prime Minister Li placed the frontline command post in Balong Lake.
This is the closest place in Xiliang that is close to the Xianbei territory and has the most complete living facilities and can accommodate a large amount of supplies.
Countless Xiliang headquarters soldiers have gathered around, with new legions arriving every day and some leaving far away.
When these troops were dispatched, they left deep traces on the grassland. The logistics department had already drawn dozens of roads on the grassland, in case anyone got lost on the grassland.
If you boldly follow the traces of the carriage, you will definitely find the source of water.
The front line of Xiliang's army was approaching the Xianbei tribe. The entire Xianbei tribe, united as one, sent all their most elite troops to the front line.
Most of the tribesmen who stayed behind were third-rate soldiers. They were also afraid that Xiliang would send an army to sneak attack on their rear, so they had to deploy some troops behind.
In case Xiliang sneak attacks on the Qiang people happen again.
The armies of both sides were facing each other tit for tat, and there was only one drumbeat left for war.
The Xianbei people did not know that behind them in the Gobi Desert, five large cavalry regiments wearing different clothes had already walked out of the Gobi Desert.
Their wolf-like gazes were already focused on the major Xianbei tribes in the rear.
The larger the tribe, the closer it is to the Gobi Desert. They have regarded the Gobi Desert as their escape route, just like the Qiang tribe who ran into the Gobi Desert.
