Chapter 490
"I want to fight from west to east ()"
"My lord, at present, the Qiang vanguard and our army have less than 150 miles left!"
Somewhere high on the grassland, Li Xiang and Xiliang Tieqi are resting here.
This time, he only brought about 40,000 troops with him, and the remaining 10,000 troops were left behind at the Balon Lake. There were many captured enemies, and now there are also a large number of herdsmen fleeing every day.
Even if he activates the joint sitting method, if a family of herdsmen escapes and the surrounding herdsmen fail to warn in time, they will be regarded as comrades and all of them will be beheaded.
But even this cruel way of sitting could not resist the escape of those grassland herdsmen. Those Qiang clansman who took refuge in him also violated yin and yang. On the surface, they were respectful, but in private they kept letting people go. go out.
Li Xiang doesn't have much to say, as long as he doesn't get caught, he will kill everything he catches.
However, he took more than half of the cattle and sheep in the hands of the herdsmen to the other side, and the 10,000 cavalry he left behind drove them to other places in the dark.
The food stored by the major tribes has been turned into ashes in the fire, and the civilians of those tribes can only behead them, leaving the cattle and sheep as seeds.
Otherwise, the whole family will starve to death!
This is Li Xiang's conspiracy. These prairie people did not go out to graze this year, but all gathered on this piece of prairie. The grassland area is so big, and it is very difficult to maintain the number of cattle and sheep on the current pasture.
In other words, these Qiang clansmans on the grasslands had no additional grain except for the cattle and sheep in their hands, and Li Xiang took away more than half of the grain in their hands.
Even if the Northern Expedition in Xiliang fails at this time, the Qiang people will slowly fade away in this cold winter, and there will be a large population loss.
On the grasslands, especially in winter, food is very important. Without food, they can only starve to death in the cold ice and snow.
Winter is not like it is now. In winter, when they go out, it is snowing heavily. Except for the food stored in the tribe and the tribes near the river can get some fish, there is no other place to get food.
Also in the cold winter and twelfth lunar month, some ferocious wild beasts on the grasslands will launch sneak attacks like these tribes. They are very afraid of humans, but if there is a shortage of food, they are on the verge of death.
There is nothing to stop them from looking for food, but anything that can be hunted is food in front of these wild beasts.
So even if Xiliang failed, no, from the current situation, Xiliang has succeeded.
Li Xiang succeeded in sneak attack on Balong Lake, where the Qiang people's storage materials were burned by Li Xiang!
More than half of their cattle and sheep were driven into the grasslands by Xiliang The 10,000 Xiliang iron cavalry left at the edge of Baron Lake put it more pleasantly to supervise the Qiang tribes around Baron Lake. In fact, they were driving those cattle and sheep to the south.
In order not to let the grassland tribes find out that they had made a big circle, the Qiang cavalry did not dare to approach some places where the Xiliang iron cavalry was riding.
In addition to the densely packed Xiliang scouts around, these Qiang cavalrymen will be attacked by Xiliang iron cavalry once they appear. On the grassland, whoever runs fast will have the initiative. .
So when these Qiang cavalrymen saw the Xiliang flag, when the distance between the two sides was less than 200m, the Qiang cavalry would immediately flee.
If they don't run, death will await them. The distance of 200 meters is already very dangerous, and the Xiliang cavalry may rush up at any time.
For safety reasons, Qiang cavalrymen will run away when they see the Xiliang iron cavalry at a distance of 200 meters, and then look for a higher place to continue their observation.
At the same time, keep yourself hidden so that you won't be discovered by the Xiliang cavalry. Once the other party finds out, there will be a long chase waiting for them. If you are unlucky, the Xiliang cavalry will catch up and kill you.
In terms of individual combat strength, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry crushed them.
"150 miles away!" Li Xiang stood up, and
said to the guard next to him: "Pass my order, everyone will pack up and leave in one hour!"Li Xian already had a complete plan when he received the army from the besieged Hailar side, so he brought more than 40,000 cavalry under his command and came to Hailar Qiang troops on the way back to the original.
Without the help of other road troops, Li Xiang, no matter how daring, would not dare to take the tens of thousands of people behind him and kill them. He could indeed kill seven in and seven out. .
But these people behind them can't. When the time comes, these elite cavalrymen who have been trained for many years are likely to be killed in the enemy's army.
These are the Old Brothers who have followed him in the war for many years, especially the 3000 Flying Bear Army, several of whom are leaders who survived the first year.
Not fighting the opponent's main army, Li Xiang just harassed the opponent on the flank. Nearly one million troops were impossible to move at the same time, which gave him a good opportunity.
Eat the opponent who is outside the main army, or the vanguard, as long as the opponent dares to divide, he will dare to eat it.
This time, the number of enemy vanguard troops is probably between 20,000 and 50,000, which is very suitable for total annihilation!
As long as the number of the enemy's army does not exceed 100,000, Li Xiang has the guts to eat each other!
Rumble....
The sound of war horses galloping everywhere on the grasslands, as the vanguard of the army, 30,000 Qiang cavalry Rush ahead, they with one's heart set on speeding home.
Ever since they knew that there was a sneak attack by Xiliang Iron Cavalry on the Balon Lake, they wanted to go home early, to their relatives and to the tribe early!
So They marched at the fastest speed!
"Stop!"
The people who rushed in front suddenly found that something was wrong in front of them. In front, a black cavalry slowly appeared In their eyes, a bloody wolf head showed the whole picture!
Yuyu
The Qiang soldiers held the reins and looked at the bloody flag, they all knew that flag What does it represent!
The Xiliang Army, and it is also the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, is likely to be the army led by the King of Xiliang Li Xiang!
Li Xiang is the most important in the army In front, compared with the black armor of the Xiliang iron cavalry, he looks extremely bright, and with the bright red robe, the Qiang cavalry at the forefront will set their eyes on it at first sight!
On the battlefield The brighter and more conspicuous the clothes are, either the second fool or the powerhouse, because the more conspicuous the clothes are, the easier it is to be beaten, and everyone will look at you.
Li Xiang reached out and dropped the Dualbladed Halberd into his hand.
"Drive!"
Xing Liao began to accelerate, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry following Li Xiang also began to accelerate!
Boom!
The Qiang cavalry looked at each other, now they had only two choices, either fight or run.
"Kill!"
Yelled, a Qiang leader, they went back to Balong Lake this time to fight the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!
Now let them in It may be God's will to meet the Xiliang cavalry here, let them experience the battle strength of the Xiliang iron cavalry led by the king of Xiliang Li Xiang!
On the Hailar side, they It's not that they haven't fought against the Xiliang troops. As the saying goes, the brave who meet in a narrow road wins.
The two cavalry began to accelerate. From a high altitude, the speed of the Xiliang cavalry was much faster than that of the Qiang cavalry, and Li Xiang had even surpassed the Xiliang cavalry by half way.
Bang!
Li Xiang Yi swung the Dualbladed Halberd, and the Qiang soldiers at the forefront turned into flesh and blood, and the blood splattered all around.
Where the Dualbladed Halberd passed, all that was left was blood and water. The powerful force directly beat those Qiang soldiers into minced meat, inserted them directly into the Qiang iron cavalry, and continued to accelerate forward.
The Qiang soldiers who passed by the side didn't react. He is already dead, creating a death zone of about 6m. Any Qiang soldiers who are 6m close to him will be crossed by Dualbladed Halberd and become a pile of scattered flesh.
This is when he didn't use true essence, just relying on the power of the fleshy body to create such a terrifying killing.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry used Li Xiang as an arrow to form an arrow formation. With the help of the six-meter hole that Li Xiang killed, two powerful commanders tore the breach apart on both sides!
The Flying Bear Army quickly came into full contact with the Qiang soldiers. They all held long weapons, and the weapons they used on horseback were all long weapons. If they used short weapons, they would easily suffer.
Most of these Qiang soldiers are leather armor, and some are even wearing sheepskin, and the whole body of the Flying Bear Army is made of iron ore in the dark world. .
When the machete slashed through these armors, it left a trail of fire and traces, which could not hurt the flying bear army soldier inside.
As long as the flying bear army soldier easily wields his weapon, he will shoot down the Qiang warriors one by one, without needing to make up for the knife, the iron cavalry behind the Qiang will naturally step over this person.
The Xiliang iron cavalry will also step over this person. If you fall off your horse on such a battlefield, you will be dead, unless you are a second-rate expert.
At the moment of falling from the horse, you can use True Qi to knock the surrounding people into the air, and then snatch another person's horse, so that there is a little chance of surviving.
The question is, are there second-class experts on the Qiang side?
The battle between the two sides was almost one-sided.
Only a few lucky Qiang soldiers broke through from the flying army and encountered the Xiliang iron cavalry behind, and were easily killed by the Xiliang iron cavalry.
Seeing that there was not much meat to eat in the frontal battlefield, Xiliang Tieqi was under the command of the commander and accelerated from both sides. The Qiang army was fighting with the Flying Bear Army.
So at this time, the opponent is running in their direction. Where is the flying bear army, the opponent will run away if they can't break through, so they accelerate from both sides.
Soon surpassed the Flying Bear Army, which was fighting the Qiang army on the front, and set off from both sides to surround the opponent behind!
"Chief, we can't break through at all!" Looking at His subordinate Erlang rushed towards the Flying Bear Army like moth flies into the flame, but did not see any movement. The commander at the forefront ran back to the leader of this army and said, "They are just like the iron wall. The same way, our people rushed over as if they had fallen into the fire, and could not even see a shadow!"
"I can see clearly!" Said: "No wonder they are called the Xiliang iron cavalry that can compete with the imperial army of the Dagan Dynasty. With their heavy armor and the speed of their horses, they can still dominate even on the grasslands. If you want to deal with them , the only way is to convene an army of 1 million to besiege and kill."
Can be sent by the Qiang Danyu to be the vanguard, the leader of the vanguard is not a reckless man, he was also in the Dagan Dynasty. After studying, seeing the terrifying battle strength of the Xiliang Tieqi, the only way he could think of was to use the army to strangle.
He couldn't imagine that a single army could resist this Xiliang iron cavalry.
"Blow the horn, we will retreat." The vanguard leader didn't need to think about whether to continue, the 30,000 people would have to explain it here, and said to the soldiers on the side of the order.
wu wu wu
Not long after the two sides fought, the desolate horn sounded, and the Qiang cavalry who were rushing ahead pulled the reins and ran to both sides. Start to turn around and retreat.
During high-speed running, it is difficult for them to stop, and it is only possible to turn around to the sides to return.
How could Li Xiang not know the other party's plan? When he heard the desolate horn sound, he knew that the other party wanted to escape.
But can they run?
The Xiliang iron cavalry on both sides has already flanked the past. If you want to take this vanguard unit, you must first divide the opponent, and then defeat them one by one.
Drive!
Li Xiang waving the Dualbladed Halberd faster and faster, Xing Liao burst out with red flames at this moment, attached to Li Xiang, leaving behind wherever he passed. The next hot flame, and the smell of burning.
Flying bear army soldiers behind are hurrying and slowing down. Facing enemies whose equipment and strength are not of the same level, what they worry most about is not to fall off the horse. As long as they do not fall off the horse, these enemies cannot fight They inflict fatal injuries.
The Qiang cavalry who were running to both sides soon discovered a big problem. Why are there so many cavalry on both sides?
Not long after they ran, they found a large number of cavalry on both sides, they seemed to be surrounded!
A tug-of-war started, and the Qiang cavalry kept running back , while the Xiliang Iron Cavalry did not close the encirclement, they had a chance to survive.
Once they fall into each other's encirclement, they will have no way to escape, nowhere to run!
Kill!
The setting sun is like blood, and the two sides will pull the battlefield To more than 50 miles, there are the corpses of Qiang soldiers and war horses that have lost their masters along the way, the green grass is stained with bright red blood, the afterglow of the sun shines on the black armor of the Xiliang cavalry.
The bloody wolf head banner, once again won the victory, except for a few people who ran away, most of the Qiang people have fallen to the ground!
Collect the corpses of soldiers who died in unfortunate battles , Li Xiang didn't even clean the battlefield, so he took the Xiliang iron cavalry to leave in the dark!
Soon after they left, the Qiang scouts rushed to the battlefield, and there were wild beasts attracted by the smell of blood.
From time to time there is a sound of fighting caused by snatch food...
