After five days of intensive preparations in Black Tiger City, the Third Army and the First Army, totaling about 4,500 people, suddenly assembled. After gathering, they set off that night and rushed towards the direction of Xiliang City.
Black Tiger City moved very quickly, and at the same time, Black Tiger City's detailed operations did their best to provide cover for the main army. Anyone who made any move would be directly captured. Black Tiger City implemented a curfew, and the reorganized third army was stationed in Black Tiger City.
The later the news spreads about the dispatch of the army, the better. The geographical location of Black Tiger City is far away from the powerful first-class forces outside the Northwest Pass. Even if someone wants to sneak attack Black Tiger City while the main force of Black Tiger City is out, they have to do so.
Let’s see if they are faster or the Black Tiger City army moves faster.
The Black Tiger City army has been assembled, and the troops from Xiliang City have also been assembled. 3,500 people are neatly arranged in Xiliang Square.
As aliens in Xiliang City, Xia Li, Fox Man, and Wu Hao are also qualified to come and watch the army gather.
Xia Li and the fox man had also seen many large armies gathering in the Western World. When they saw the large army in front of them, they didn't feel anything. At most, they knew that Xiliang City had a lot of troops.
Wu Hao was different. Wu Hao had seen many armies, but this was outside the Northwest Pass, a place where exiles gathered.
In Black Tiger City, which is known as the first-class force outside the Northwest Pass, Wu Hao has never seen an army like Xiliang City.
Although the first and second armies of Black Tiger City are also named after the army, their actual fighting methods are no different from bandits, relying on the strong individual strength.
The only unit in Black Tiger City that is most similar to the Xiliang army is the Third Army. However, the Third Army has been knocked out of its bones by Xiliang. The rebuilt Third Army does not have the morale of the previous army, and its combat effectiveness is also much inferior. Only
Next bugle call.
Wu Hao was just thinking about the sound of rapid steps, a bit like the sound of horse hooves.
Li Xiang rode on Xingliao and led a hundred cavalry to the front of the army. The arrival of the cavalry announced that the Xiliang army had been assembled.
The big black flag was flying in the sky, and the soldiers below were silent, solemn, and fighting.
Li Xiang was on his horse. He did not put on any luxurious equipment, but just held a painted halberd. The Xiliang soldiers stood straight and looked straight ahead. Li Xiang held up his painted halberd and said, "Let's go!"
The first to move were the spearmen, four in a row, walking towards the outside of Xiliang City. The cavalry stopped where they were, and Prime Minister Li rode his horse to the front of Li Yi.
This time, the five generals who went out to fight, Li Xiang, only needed people to guard Li Mu in Xiliang City, Juhu and the West Iron Mining Area. With Li Yi here in Xiliang City, Li Xiang could rest assured.
"Li Yi, Xiliang City will be left to you!"
Li Yi smiled slightly and said: "Please rest assured, my lord, I will guard Xiliang City well!"
Li Xiang nodded and looked at the two men and an orc standing behind Li Yi. Feeling Li Xiang's gaze, Wu Hao was the first to speak out: "Please rest assured, Lord Li, Wu Hao will definitely obey Master Li Yi's command."
Xia Li saluted Mr. Li and chuckled: "City Lord Li, don't worry. If you are worried, you can take me with you. I can go to the battlefield with you!"
Charlie has always wanted to understand the Eastern world, but unfortunately she was trapped in this city by Li Xiang. The fox man saluted Li Xiang, and he was the most peaceful among the three.
"As long as you behave well, I will take Na to see the Eastern world next time!" Li Xiang glanced at Xia Li and said to Li Yi again: "If there is any problem, break it off. You are the Lord of the West City!"
Li Yi nodded: "No!"
Li Xiang turned around and mounted his horse, leading the cavalry towards the iron ore area. Only when Li Xiang walked away did Xia Li dare to gently wipe the sweat from her forehead. When Li Xiang looked at her just now, she seemed to be back when she was a child, alone.
The demon wolf I met outside had no resistance at all. This man's strength has improved too quickly!
The fox man was silent, Wu Hao was sweating like rain, and Li Xiang put a lot of pressure on him.
Li Xiang set off first with his cavalry. When he was thinking about the battle with Black Tiger City, he was thinking about where the battlefield should be placed. The terrain of that place was favorable to Xiliang.
A few days ago, when we started to gather troops, we sent scouts to the troops to find the place where they would fight Black Tiger City.
Li Xiang didn't know when Black Tiger City would move, but that didn't affect him from making preparations in advance.
After searching back and forth for several days, Li Xiang caught sight of a large piece of grassland in the forest. The forest was not suitable for a large army to spread out.
His soldiers all fight in legions and cannot form large formations in the forest. If they want to fight against those strong men in Black Tiger City who are accustomed to fighting alone and whose personal strength is beyond the limit, they will definitely suffer.
What Li Xiang has to do is to use his strengths to avoid weaknesses and use his own strengths to attack the weaknesses of others.
The troops in the iron ore area have also been assembled. The army only passed by the iron ore area and did not directly enter the iron ore area. When the army passed by, the troops in the iron ore area, led by Li Mu, were outside.
Gather with the army.
Four thousand men and horses gathered together, and the beasts in the forest only dared to look at the two-legged beasts that exuded murderous intent from a distance.
Wild beasts are very sensitive to murderous intent. They felt the danger from the Xiliang soldiers, so naturally they did not dare to get close to the Xiliang army.
Li Xiang rode his horse and rushed to the other side of the grassland, looking for a place to hide the cavalry. The cavalry charged, but few infantry dared to stand in front.
Li Xiang regards the cavalry as his trump card and wants to give Black Tiger City a fatal blow at the critical moment!
Those who follow the large force will most likely be discovered by the scouts of Black Tiger City or other forces. It's easy to find them by other forces. However, if they are discovered by the scouts of Black Tiger City, the other party will be on guard, so it may be difficult to make a sneak attack.
On the second day after Xiliang's army was dispatched, the troops on the way in Black Tiger City received news from the front. Xiliang City took the initiative to send an army, and the target was probably him and Black Tiger City.
The march speed of Black Tiger City is much faster.
The troops from other forces around Black Tiger City discovered that the main army of Black Tiger City had disappeared, and immediately sent people to search for it. The first and second armies of Black Tiger City were truly powerful armies.
It is not difficult for the two armies to join forces to attack and destroy a first-rate force!
Zhou Hangjie was one of the few people outside the Northwest Pass who knew about the incident. He went north as fast as possible, and Xiliang City actually sent a large army to fight Black Tiger City for a life-or-death showdown!
When Zhou Hangjie saw this piece of information, he thought that Li Xiang was crazy, but when he saw the troops in Xiliang City, the most described thing about the Xiliang troops in the letter was that they were neat, capable, and as numerous as the Black Tigers.
The number of the city's army is not much different.
After Zhou Hangjie thought for a while, he decided to watch this battle with his own eyes. If Li Xiang was defeated, he could still save Li Xiang. In his heart, Li Xiang was a tiger general. The one who dared to attack the enemy outside the small town.
Li Xiang's drinking was deeply imprinted in Zhou Hangjie's heart.
If they bring in Prime Minister Li, they will have one more tiger general outside the Northwest Pass, and they can take more initiative in the great changes in the near future. Never underestimate the blessing of a powerful general to the army.
One soldier is raging, and the general is raging in a nest!
Xuanshui Lake
As the back garden of the Xiliang Navy, the troops of the major forces outside the Northwest Pass in Xuanshui Lake are very weak compared to the Xiliang Navy. Although they have developed longer than the Xiliang Navy, the biggest gap is their warships.
The warships owned by the Xiliang Navy are far behind those of Daqian. The Donghai Navy of Daqian can suppress the existence of the demon clan in the East China Sea, but this is outside the Northwest Pass. Xiliang can just take out an arrow ship. They can crush the naval armies of other forces on Xuanshui Lake.
When Prime Minister Li ordered the army of Xiliang City to assemble, the armies of Qingzhu Village and Xuanshui Village were dispatched. Xiliang Navy moved forward on Xuanshui Lake, and the huge naval force went straight to Black Tiger City.
It takes four days to get from Xuanshui Village to Black Tiger City. After four days, they will rush to the surroundings of Black Tiger City to ambush. As long as they are sure that the Black Tiger City army has left, the soldiers on the warship will go straight to Black Tiger City and attack them. The Black Tiger City army came to drain the cauldron.
Black Tiger City did not know Xiliang City's big plan, but the distance between them and Xiliang City's army was less than a day's journey. The scouts sent by Li Xiang reported the whereabouts of Black Tiger City's army early.
Li Xiang looked at the opponent's marching speed and distance from the grassland, and asked his soldiers to slow down. He wanted the Black Tiger City army to actively choose the grassland, instead of occupying one side first and then waiting for a place there.
This is a psychological game!
Qian Feng held a map and followed Heihu under a big tree: "City Lord, there is a large grassland here with gentle terrain. It is a good place for a battle!"
Black Tiger has led people to fight many times outside the Northwest Pass in recent years. When he saw the grassland, he also felt that the grassland was a good place for fighting. This place can spread out the number of people.
The grassland can indeed allow their Black Tiger City army to expand, but can't the other party also expand it?
There are many archers in Xiliang City. The number of archers in Black Tiger City is only about a hundred. It is difficult to train archers. No one outside the Northwest Pass is willing to use precious resources to train archers.
If you have that resource, you might as well use it for training. Cultivation means everything!
This was what most of them thought outside the Northwest Pass. Most of the military equipment in Daqian was depleted, which made these people forget how their sect was suppressed by the Daqian army, and large numbers of cultivators were hacked to death at Caishikou.
"Will this place allow the opponent's archers to attack with ease?"
Qian Feng patted the giant tree next to him: "City Lord, if you want to kill people, your bows and arrows also need to penetrate shields. The most indispensable thing in the forest is trees. Send an order to let their brothers spend their time making shields. There are wooden shields and real shields." Angry, can the other side's archers still kill people?"
The true energy is attached to the shield. If an archer wants to break such a shield, there are three ways. One is to have a very powerful force. Such long arrows can directly pierce the shield.
The second is the specialized Qi-breaking arrows, which are specially prepared for archers from Daqian for the opponent's cultivators. The price is a bit high, and the production skills have always been retained in the hands of the Daqian royal family.
The third is that the archer attaches zhenqi to the long arrow, but this consumes a lot of zhenqi.
Black Tiger took a look at the trees nearby. With these trees, they could make a large number of shields. As long as they were in close combat with Xiliang, his troops who had experienced hundreds of battles would easily destroy the opponent!
"Then place the decisive battle on the grassland!" Black Tiger said and added: "Send a team of troops to hide in the forest, and go around to the back of Xiliang during the decisive battle!"
Before the armies of both sides met, the scouts were already fighting in the forest, but few people died. The Xiliang scouts were all tall and powerful, which was an advantage on the battlefield. Being among the scouts would expose themselves a bit, even if they learned
The many skills of the Thousand Thieves Sect cannot make up for their physical disadvantage.
If they can't sneak past, then they will block the Black Tiger City scouts. If we don't pass, you can't even think of coming.
While the scouts from both sides were fighting, another force arrived. Seeing the fight between Xiliang and Black Tiger City, this force hid far away for fear of being dragged in.
Both sides entered the grassland on the same day and set up camp. The distance between the two sides was only two miles, and the enemy could be seen not far away.
Neither of them launched an attack immediately. The troops on both sides were very tired after marching for many days. Moreover, the distance was only two miles, and both sides could reach them with a single charge. No one dared to relax their guard.
Both sides set up camp at the same time, and the difference between regular troops and bandits soon became apparent. While the Xiliang army was camping in the middle, they erected a wooden wall at a speed that the Black Tiger City soldiers could not understand.
Lay a lot of traps.
Tents were erected one by one, so that the soldiers could live well and eat well even if they were outside.
The aroma of wild beast meat, rice, fine salt, and lunch from the Xiliang camp wafted to the Black Tiger City camp.
Compared with the Xiliang camp, the Black Tiger City camp is just a bunch of tents with no wooden walls. Some soldiers are still making wooden shields. Each little leader and his minions gather around to barbecue and cook.
Black Tiger came to a place one mile away from the Xiliang camp. The Xiliang camp was still changing. Wooden walls, traps, and horses were blocked from sight.
"There's something really good about Xiliang City!" Heihu had only seen this kind of camp building speed in Daqian's army. Many of Daqian's troops were de-armed, but there were still many elite troops suppressing various places in Daqian.
If Xiliang City is not solved as soon as possible, it may really become a big problem!
No matter what is standing behind the other party, just destroy him. Anyway, he is a fugitive with countless lives on his back. After destroying him, if the other party wants to take action against him, he has to see whether the forces behind him agree or not.
The major forces outside the Northwest Pass disagree, but there is a Xuantian Sect next to the Great Wall Legion!
Hei Hu laughed. Li Xiang stepped up to a sentry post and happened to see Hei Hu. The sun was hanging in the west. Li Xiang saw Hei Hu, and Hei Hu also saw Li Xiang. The two looked at each other.
mountain forest
Zhou Hangjie hurriedly hurriedly finally arrived in the forest. In a canyon in the forest, there were more than a dozen men in black in the canyon.
"Sir!" Zhou Hangjie had already put on a mask. Every man in black wore a mask. Only Zhou Hangjie knew their true faces. This was to protect them.
Zhou Hangjie walked into the tent that had been set up for a long time. A man in black walked in quickly and put a small cylinder on Zhou Hangjie's table: "Sir, hurry up!"
Zhou Hangjie opened the cylinder: "Xiliang Navy has appeared at the edge of Black Tiger City. It has surrounded Black Tiger City and will launch a fierce attack soon!"
When Zhou Hangjie saw the news in the letter, he was stunned for a moment and couldn't believe it. Then he chuckled and said: "Taking the fire under the cauldron, Prime Minister Li hid it from everyone! But there are still about a thousand guards in Black Tiger City."
Army, it is not easy to capture it!
And Black Tiger, this is the pinnacle of the second-rate, even if I want to win it, I will have to work hard, I am really getting more and more curious about you!"
