Qiang Qin

Daqin's tentacles are everywhere.

Auntie City.

Located in a mountain plateau in the south of the Tianshan Mountains, the terrain here is low-lying, and there are alternating rivers flowing under the city, forming a small natural oasis.

As the outpost of Qin State's exploration into the Tianshan Mountains and even Congling Mountains, Gushi City is extremely important. It is not only an important station on the Northern Silk Road, but also an important chess piece for Qin State to enter the Western Regions.

Ji Xin has guarded this city in the westernmost border of the Qin Kingdom for seven years.Back then, the young lieutenant of Chu State in front of Hulao Pass gradually lost his childishness and became more mature under the imprint of years of wind and sand.

It's not just Ji Xin who has matured.

Still in the city of Gushi, it is also growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.After several years of development, Gushi, an oasis city at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, is much larger than before. In terms of urban population alone, the resident population of Gushi City has grown from less than 5000 people seven years ago. It has grown to about 5 people today.

The Qin army moved in.

With black clothes and armor, a solemn face, and the reputation of being invincible, those bandits in the Western Regions would not dare to rob the caravan in Gushi City even if they had ten guts.With this layer of protection, no matter where the caravans come from, they will regard Gushi as a fulcrum on the Silk Road.

Gushi City, modeled on the structure of Chang'an, has four straight avenues in the east, west, south and north.The criss-crossing streets and lanes, as well as the busy market with endless streams of people, all these show that the future of Gushi is infinitely bright and brilliant.

Thanks to the rich intelligence and information resources, the abnormal changes within the remnants of the Xiongnu were quickly learned by the Qin army guarding the Western Regions. This sudden change made Qin general Ji Xin in Gushi City immediately alert. The Western Expedition is about to come, but the Huns moved in first. It is still unknown what changes this will bring to the Qin Army's Western Expedition.

My aunt sent an urgent post report at [-] li.

Piles of beacon fires are burning non-stop.At the same time, outside Chang'an City, on the grounds of the Qin Army Academy in the Gaoling area, Emperor Shenwu Li Yuan was inspecting the troops, and the soldiers of the Qin Army recruited from various places were undergoing the final review before the expedition. A well-known warrior.

Compared with the repeated shortage of troops during the Unification War and the situation where they could only rely on the quality of elite soldiers to win, Li Yuan's troops are now strong and strong.

Fighting in the north, the role of cavalry far exceeds that of infantry.Li Yuan also made great efforts this time, recruiting elite cavalry from the two ranches to join the battle.

Cao Xin, a Qin general with a thick face and beard, led his troops with his head held high and ranked in the west. He has been promoted to the leader of the Longxi Army, and he has nearly [-] soldiers under his command, including Xiaoyueshi, Di The warriors of various ethnic groups, such as Lou Fan, etc., these tribes who chose to surrender to the Qin State early in the morning, are concerned about real interests, and now they are benefiting from the rapid development of the Qin State.The strength of the tribe has greatly increased.

Cao Xin carefully selected [-] strong cavalry from the [-] Longxi Army as the pioneers. This cavalry team composed of descendants of the grassland people will become the vanguard of the Western Expeditionary Army.

On the scale of a school field.After accommodating [-] generals, it was already overcrowded. Standing beside Cao Xin's Longxi Army was another army that was also the vanguard.The Hexi Army is known for its ability to fight well.

Hexi and Longxi are separated by a big river. In terms of origin, they are still from the same root.The generals of the Hexi Army, Luo Jia and Cao Xin also have a good relationship, but when it comes to who is the vanguard of the Western Expedition, Luo Jia and Cao Xin are not willing to give in. For this Western Expedition, Luo Jia mobilized nearly [-] soldiers Among them, there are more than [-] cavalry. Among this team, there is a cavalry that is particularly eye-catching.

Ghost Fang Aries Tribe.

This long-lost prairie tribe, after recuperating in the Ruoshui area for seven years, finally gradually regained its vitality. In the process of continuous integration and growth, the Aries tribe, under the leadership of the female leader Jinxi, has developed a more open society. The posture of the Aries accommodates people from other races. This kind of integration and openness makes the Aries tribe gradually evolve from a nomadic people to a semi-nomadic and half-farming nation.

Due to its strength, Jinxi sent a small number of troops this time, about [-] cavalry. This strength is nothing in the entire Hexi Army, but its importance is irreplaceable.

The Baiyang Tribe returned east from the Altai Mountains.Along the way, they went through many hardships, and none of the troops of the Qin army was more familiar with the topography to the west of Congling than them.Therefore, the warriors of the [-] Aries tribe will take on the heavy responsibility of the most important scout troops in the vanguard.

Back then, Li Yuan's insistence on taking in the remnants of Jinxi was incomprehensible, but today, seven years later, many people who had doubts at the beginning suddenly realized that Li Yuan had put in this thought early on. Thinking of this, many people were even more in awe of Li Yuan.

In addition to the [-] cavalry vanguards of the Hexi Army and the Longxi Army, the [-] mighty Youyan Qin cavalry at the head of the east.

It has been nine years since the Qin State destroyed Yan. During these nine years, Han Xin attacked the Hunqiuli tribe in the north, slaughtered the Koryo Peninsula in the east, and then swept away the old nest of the Huns at the east end of the Hannan River. His strength grew so fast that the rest of the armies It's beyond hope, if Li Yuan doesn't order the expedition to the west this time, Han Xin's momentum of expansion like this is likely to trigger a huge change within Qin.

Of course, now that the Western Expedition is imminent, Han Xin is also full of spirits, and decides to follow in the footsteps of Li Yuan and start a new journey to the farther west and unknown places.Under the common ideal, Li Yuan, Han Xin and the many generals of the Qin army who followed them were full of excitement and fanaticism.

There are more than [-] cavalry troops. This is the largest number since Li Yuan led the army. There are two cavalry troops, one from the west and one from the east. Of course, these cavalry are not all of the Western Expeditionary Army. The one in the center of the school field is the real main force of the Western Expeditionary Army.

A total of 15 infantry, these soldiers and horses from various counties in the interior of Qin, will take on the important task of connecting the front line with the rear. Many of them are coming to Chang'an for the first time. On the way, full of longing, they resolutely bid farewell to their hometown, defected to Li Yuan's command, and plunged into the indomitable rapids of the Western Expedition.

Huan Chu, a hero of Chu in his prime of life, came from Jiangdong.

Feng Xuan, a famous general of the Qin Army who came from south of the Five Ridges.

There are also Ma Jin, Zhou Ping and many generals of the Qin army who have few opportunities to play, but are eager to prove themselves on the battlefield. They all looked in awe and eagerly watched the same person on the high platform. (To be continued..)
