Chapter 494
"I'm going from west to east ()" Find the latest chapter! "Looks like the King of Xiliang is eyeing this tribe!" Several scouts from the Qiang tribe followed Li Xiang's army along the way. They had discovered that four tribes were destroyed by Li Xiang, so they guessed This tribe was targeted by Li Xiang.
At the same time, Li Xiang did not contact the army on the other side of Hailar Lake, or he knew that some Xiliang troops were trapped by Hailar Lake.
But since their army came back, Li Xiang thought they had attracted the Qiang army, so he led the army north, hoping to use the Xiliang iron cavalry and fast marching speed to get rid of the army's pursuit.
Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that their gun clan army suddenly went back, and the Xiliang army they killed was completely unprepared.
As for the news that they attacked Zhang Qingyun's army, Li Xiang must be even more ignorant. Otherwise, Li Xiang would not lead the army all the way north, but should lead the army to the south at a very fast speed to support the area. Zhang Qingyun.
If the Xiliang Iron Cavalry went all the way to the south, they might be able to catch up with the Qiang army to besiege Zhang Qingyun's department at their speed, but unfortunately they should not know, so they went all the way north.
Destroyed several tribes on the way!
"Send this news to Shanyu them right away!"
Several scouts exchanged Said that there were more than 200 people when they came, but because of the Xiliang scouts, their number has changed from 200 to less than 50 now.
More than 150 people often die at the hands of the Western Liang scouts. If it hadn't been for them to have no other way and not grasp the key information, they would have already run away and wanted to return to the army long ago. Bian'er did not continue to pursue Li Xiang on this grassland.
Chasing the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is a very dangerous thing, because if you are discovered by the Xiliang scouts, you will only have a dead end.
So when they felt that they were in control of the secrets of the Xiliang army, what immediately thought was not to continue chasing the Xiliang army, but to pass the news to Shanyu, and then get out of this dangerous area. .
"Then let's go first, and don't share this news with others, let them continue to pursue the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!" A leader whispered to the surrounding people: "West The Liang army needs to be chased by others to get the latest news, and if they lose track of them again, I'm afraid other problems may arise when the time comes!"
"Yes!"
Several other scouts said, with smiles in their eyes,
because if someone continues to pursue the Xiliang army, then they return to the main army, and they probably don't need to continue, after all, they have already established Great work.When the time comes, they may just need to surround themselves with the main army. They prefer to surround the main army, rather than chasing those terrifying matchless Xiliang iron cavalry in this vast ocean.
These scouts rode their horses and ran away. They wanted to send the news to Da Chanyu as quickly as possible.
Then they didn't know that in another place, the Xiliang iron cavalry traveled south at a speed five or six times faster than them, covering the stars and wearing the moon, day and night!
Li Xiang was going to catch up with the Qiang army. Before besieging Zhang Qingyun's army, he rushed to the edge of the battlefield. He didn't want to join forces with Zhang Qingyun. The most important thing for cavalry was speed and timing.
When it was these two reasons, he would not go in and gather with Zhang Qingyun, because when the army was besieged, the scope of action was limited. The mobility of the cavalry.
So he has to stay around and look for suitable fighters, and the best way to find a record is to wait for the opponent to reveal a weak spot.
When the Qiang army attacked Zhang Qingyun's department, they would definitely show their backs, because they didn't know that Li Xiang was already riding on the side with Xiliang Iron.
They will boldly leak their back, this is an opportunity!
So Li Xiang is hurrying, and currently he is not meeting force with force with the main force of the Qiang people At that time, he had to use his own speed to destroy one army first, and then gradually destroy the other armies.
Only by little by little cannibalize the peripheral army of the Qiang people, and finally can they fight against the main force of the Qiang people whose strength has been greatly reduced.
Southern Prairie
Zhang Qingyun received news from the front line that a large number of Qiang troops were coming to them, and the local armed forces and those generals restless were drawn by him. .
These generals gathered in the Zhang Qingyun battle, except for the Seventh Army regiment and the Xiliang headquarters generals, the generals of these two parts have participated in the war and have combat experience, other generals are promoted from local areas The most of the people who came up were stationed in the place to protect the safety of one party.
At most, I have fought with the local bandits and robbers, and I have never fought with the real enemy.
So when they knew that the Qiang cavalry was charging towards them, these people were restless, and some people even thought about running away. They all had war horses. It is indeed possible to escape before the Qiang army arrives.
But where do they hide when they escape?
If they escaped from the army, they were deserters. Liang Province was already under the rule of Xiliang, and everyone knew that they followed Zhang Qingyun on the expedition.
Zhang Qingyun and his army did not come back. Instead, their generals ran back. Everyone knew what was going on, and Liang Province would have no place for them.
And they are likely to be hunted down by Xiliang. As for running to other forces and joining other forces, that is even more inadvisable, because there are few forces in the world today who want to have bad relations with Xiliang. .
Even if they run to Imperial Capital, the emperor will throw them out in exchange for some supplies and some chips.
Because they are not worthy of the emperor and Li Xiang, the king of Xiliang, to exacerbate the conflict between the two sides, of course, if they are a Grandmaster, expert or Great Grandmaster expert, all Great Influences in the world will welcome them They go.
Because they have capital, because they have qualifications and bargaining chips!
Unfortunately, they are just a few ordinary generals, at most they have some experience in leading troops to maintain local law and order experience of.
There are many such people in the world, and every Great Influence has inexhaustible mediocre generals.
So they can only stay in the army, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Qiang army, quietly waiting for the start of a new round of war.
Besides, they are not without hope. If the people on the other side of Hailar Lake can spread the news, it means that the people there will definitely come to help them, or that the army in other places is receiving the news. After the news, they will come to the rescue.
They just need to stand here and wait for help!
"The Qiang troops are attacking our army in four directions. Waiting for help!" Zhang Qingyun looked at the generals present and asked: "I don't know about the generals, do you have any other opinions or good strategies?" We will think that we should stick to the above instructions and wait for assistance. Our army has a large amount of carriage and abundant materials and sufficient weapons and equipment. We can use the carriage and some materials to build a Defensive Array line. There are many long-range attack arms in our army. , the constructed Defensive Array line, plus the long-range attacking units behind it, can last for at least a month."
The generals of the Xiliang headquarters are very confident, but they have a full 150,000 people. Although only 20,000 of them are occupied, there are still about 40,000 Seventh Army soldiers in the army.
The remaining 90,000 horses are the Eighth Legion and the local garrison. Although these two arms are relatively weak in battle strength, he is confident that under the leadership of the soldiers of the headquarters and the soldiers of the Seventh Army, they can Strictly guard against death, no matter what, it can last for more than a month.
In addition to the food and weapons and equipment they carried, these things can be prepared according to the food and weapons used by the entire Hailar Lake army and the Seventh Army regiment, that is to say, they are not short of Arrow feathers and food.
Coupled with the defensive line built by the carriage, they don't need to be afraid of the Qiang army.
The most feared thing on the steppe is to encounter cavalry, but when you have built a complete Defensive Array line, and the saved army is ready to set up some of its traps.
It is not easy for the cavalry to break through a complete infantry phalanx from the front, unless there is a breaking the formation army such as heavy cavalry in the Qiang tribe.
However, does the Qiang ethnic group have such an army? Even if there is, it should always be with the king of the Qiang tribe, instead of being dispatched here to fight with the army led by Zhang Qingyun.
"I also think it is better to stand firm and wait for help." The chief general of the Seventh Army Regiment stood up and said: "Although there are soldiers from the Legion and Seventh Army Regiments in the Xiliang Headquarters in our army, they are still in number. Too few.
If the enemy attacks from the front, I can still resist it, but if the enemy attacks from the side..."
The general said and looked at Suddenly, the Eighth Legion and the local garrison general, who looked a little embarrassed, said: "The last general is afraid that the flank army will fail without attacking. When the time comes, we may not wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and we will be separated and destroyed by the Qiang people."
The reason why they are discussing this issue here is that they are now less than five days away from the distance that Hyrule's army would bring.
If they wear the stars and the moon and travel together, they may be able to arrive at Hailar within 2-3 days.
Arriving at Hailar, and gathering with the Seventh Army and the Xiliang headquarters, they will definitely be incomparably safe. The Xiliang army is not only invincible in offense, but also rare in defense.
The garrison in one place said weakly: "Lord Zhang, we may be able to discard some supplies and let the soldiers carried by the carriage go on their way. The number of carriages we carry is very large, and we can completely carry the goods after abandoning them. We will be able to reach Hailar in about two days.”
Their most important responsibility is to transport supplies, so this time they carry a lot of cargo, These carriages can completely carry the army forward, as long as good luck points, do not encounter the Qiang army in advance.
They can escape the encirclement of the Qiang people and meet the army in Hailar Lake before they can do anything.
"You are farting!" The general of the headquarters of Xiliang scolded him directly: "You must know what our responsibilities are, our task is to transport supplies and help the troops in Hailar Lake. To deal with the Qiang people, there is no shortage of food for the army at Hailar Lake for the time being, but this is only for more than a month.
We threw away all the food and supplies, and then the 150,000 people flooded When you arrive at Hailar Lake, what do you want the entire army to eat? Do you all drink the lake water together?"
The general who was scolded by the general of the headquarters of Xiliang bowed his head and stopped talking, and the general of the Seventh Army regiment stood up and fought Round Field: "General Mu Yuan, General Zhou's original intention is not like this. If there is no problem of food shortage, we can follow General Zhou's method.
But now we are in the vast prairie, in the The army at Hailar's wedding may have enough food and grass, but it can only be used for a period of time. If there are so many of us, there will definitely be a problem with food!"
"So I agree with the wood. As General Yuan said before, we will stand still and wait for help. We carry a lot of grain and various weapons and equipment at this time, build a huge defensive city wall with carriage, and then reinforce it with grain
But in this way, , this front is more afraid of fire, so we can use the cowhide used to wrap those arrow feathers, and let them be on the outermost side, because there is a special layer of material on it, which can be waterproof and fireproof, wrap the city wall with this thing, so that We don't need to be afraid of fire."
The general of the Seventh Army regiment knew that the generals in the Xiliang headquarters were relatively straight people. character .
However, it is easy to offend other generals and cause unnecessary contradictions, but the other party has absolutely no selfish intentions, or sincere means to scold that general.
If they were in other armies or other forces, generals like Xiliang Headquarters would probably never have a chance in their lives, because they were too easy to offend people.
Even though they are very much loved by the soldiers, they lead the way in the battlefield and make great achievements.
But in the Xiliang army, each of these generals of the Xiliang headquarters holds important positions, because they have an equally outspoken lord.
Sometimes the generals of the Seventh Army Corps also feel that these generals from the headquarters of Xiliang are a bit annoying and sometimes make him unable to step down, but he has to admit it.
In the army with these generals in the headquarters of Xiliang, the morale of the soldiers will always be at the highest level. Even if they are surrounded by the enemy, the soldiers will follow the general to fight the enemy bravely, because these soldiers Knowing that their generals will not leave them behind, but will follow them on the battlefield until the last moment, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
And the army of the headquarters of Xiliang did not live up to the expectations of these soldiers. As long as the army of the headquarters of Xiliang could be rescued, it would definitely arrive.
"Apart from this, we can still dig traps!" The general changed the subject and said, "It will take a day or so for the other party to surround us. This day or so is enough for us to set up camp. Dig up all kinds of traps."
