Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 254
At night, Longqi City, Western Duwei Mansion.

Jia Xu strode into the inner hall and bowed to Luo Zheng: "Master!"

Luo Zheng waved his hand and asked: "How, is the army all here?"

Jia Xu replied: "Everyone has arrived. The ten thousand cavalry are divided into ten groups, and each group of thousands of cavalry has arrived in Longqi City in batches."

Luo Zheng made a 'hmm' sound, "Hasn't it been discovered by scouts from various tribes in the Western Sea?"

Jia Xu said furiously: "Forgive me for any inconvenience, our army is all day and night, and it took half a month to arrive in batches from Yunwu to Longqi City. Walk around Linqiang, don't dare to cross Linqiang!"

Luo Zheng nodded and said: "Okay, what's the recent movement of the Western Sea Zhuqiang?"

Jia Xu said: "Last year, the Neighboring Department and the Participating Wolf Department fought fiercely, and the farming season was delayed. The autumn grain was almost useless, and the consumption of cattle, sheep and livestock was huge. The hundreds of thousands of people in the two departments were hungry and floating all over the place. They just waited for the spring planting. In the end, in order to compete for the few remaining grains, Gelin and Shenlang Erqiang are bound to launch an even more tragic war. According to the news sent back by the detailed work, the cavalry of the two tribes of Shenlang and Gelin are currently heading towards the Shizhi River. Gather up in the district and the Chagang area, and we will do it in March at the latest."

Luo Zheng got up and took a few steps back and forth in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "It's the end of February, that is to say, the Brother Neighbors and the Shenlang Department will take action in half a month at most, and our army will have to wait a little longer More than half a month."

Jia Xu clasped his hands and said, "My lord is wise, since both the Neighbors and the Wolf Clan want to attack each other, it is indeed the best way for our army to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Only when the two troops suffer heavy casualties, can we defeat them at the lowest cost." Brother neighbors and Shenlang Erqiang."

Luo Zheng waved his hand, "Let Chengying pay close attention to the movement of Xihai and report back at any time!"

"As ordered!"

Jia Xu agreed, and immediately turned around and backed out.

The Cizhi River area is located in the upper reaches of the river, where the water and grass are luxuriant and the water source is abundant. It is the best pasture, and it is also suitable for reclamation of good fields. If there is no war, this place will probably become a piece of fertile soil on the Eight Hundred Li Qiang Plain.

However, due to ethnic habits, it is doomed that it is impossible to calm down on the Qiang Plain.

Tribal mergers, for nomadic tribesmen, are nothing more than normal.

Although the Qiang people learned farming and building houses from the Han people, they did not lose their nomadic habits, and because of the poor living conditions in the Qiang Plain, wars between tribes have never stopped since the pre-Qin period.

At night, the great men and women of the Wolf Department serve as military tents.

"Big guy!"

A tribal leader entered the army tent and yelled, as if he had seen him.

The Qiang people are ignorant and ignorant of etiquette, and naturally they don't have the very complicated etiquette of the Han people.

The Qiang people who moved to Liangzhou were better, and they learned some basic etiquette of the Han people. The Qiang people living in the Eight Hundred Li Qiang Plain were slightly better than Ru Mao Yinxue, and they were not much different from the nomadic people in Mobei in essence.

"How many soldiers and horses have not yet arrived?"

Wu Dang asked in a deep voice.

The leader said: "More than 7000 people have arrived, and more than 4000 people have not yet arrived."

Wu Dang frowned and scolded: "Send someone to remind those small tribes who haven't come yet, half a month or so, I want all the troops to gather at the big camp on the north bank of the river, if they don't arrive in half a month, I will destroy his entire clan!"

"As ordered!"

The leader's heart turned cold, and he quickly agreed.

Wudang asked again, "Where is Litu that donkey day, what happened recently?"

The headman replied: "There are also soldiers and horses gathering in Chagang."

Wu Dang said fiercely: "Tell the leaders of the ministries that if you can't kill Ge Neighbor this time, if you don't get the food, cattle and sheep from Ge Neighbor's tribe, the whole clan will be ready to starve to death. I will put the ugly words first. , whoever dares not to do anything, wait until he defeats his brother and distributes the grain, cattle and sheep, and let Lao Tzu stand aside, and don't even think about getting a single sheep."

"As ordered!"

The headman quickly agreed, and then retreated.

Longqi City, Luo Zheng Camp.

Cheng Ying rushed into the handsome tent, bowed his hands to Luo Zheng and said: "My lord, there is news."

Luo Zheng suddenly lifted his spirits and asked: "Why, did Ge Lin Qiang and Shen Lang Qiang send troops?"

Cheng Ying said excitedly: "Exactly, our army's scouts found the news that the handsome Wudang of the Shenlang Department and the handsome Litu of the Neighboring Department have assembled more than ten thousand soldiers and horses, and are heading towards the west of Xihai (Qinghai Lake). The wolf is approaching."

"it is good!"

Luo Zheng stood up and said: "Order all the ministries to immediately summon the army to go out."

"As ordered!"

Chengying obeyed and was about to leave.

Jia Xu hurriedly said: "My lord, the Canglangyuan is located fifty miles west of the West Sea. Since the Gelin and Shenlang tribes chose to fight in the Canglangyuan, it was obvious that they were preparing for a surprise attack during the battle. Detour from the southern foot of Bulian Mountain to Canglangyuan is no less than six hundred miles away. Even if our army rides two horses, it will take at least four days for the cavalry to march quickly. My lord, why don't you cross the Chagang Plain and raid the Canglangyuan directly from the brother's garrison? By shortening the marching distance, you can also avoid the scouts and spies from the neighbors."

Luo Zheng was silent, got up and paced under the tent.

Cheng Ying's eyes lit up, and he said: "My lord, the military division's idea is not bad. Even if Litu was prepared against our army, he definitely would not have expected that our army would cross the Chagang Plain and directly attack from behind. How many knights to explore the horses. If we cross the Chagang Plain from Longqi City to the Canglang Plain, it will only be more than [-] miles. As long as the soldiers work hard, our army can ride two horses and march quickly for a day and midnight at most. If you kill it, you may receive a miraculous effect."

Luo Zheng only pondered for a few breaths of time, and said decisively: "Shan, soldiers are precious and fast, just according to Wenhe's words. However, if you directly cross the Chagang Plain, you will have to wait another three days before sending troops, and you need to be close Pay attention to the movement of the two armies."

"As ordered!"

Jia Xu and Cheng Ying slightly cupped their hands, and immediately went down to prepare.

Canglangyuan.

The land is vast and the grass is green.

Not only is the terrain here very open, with a sweeping view of tens of miles around, but also the terrain is flat. For the Qianghu people who are not good at intrigues, the terrain of this place is most suitable for decisive battles, and they can fight freely.

When Tianyang just jumped out of the sky, Wudang and Litu led their troops forward at the same time.

Although the Qiang people are simple-minded and like to use force to solve problems, they are not fools.

The two armies, one from the south and the other from the north, advanced at the same time. Scouts and scouts galloped back and forth, and reported the movement of the other army to the army every time a stick of incense was spent, and were ready to deal with emergencies at any time, so as not to be caught by the other side. It's overcast.

It has not been a day or two since Wudang and Litu have known each other. They have dealt with each other 20 years ago, and they have been fighting for more than a year. They are very familiar with each other's methods and tactics, and they know that they can't overthrow each other, so they choose to fight here.

When it was almost noon, Litu and Wudang had already seen Pipi's army in the vast wilderness.

Another half an hour later, the two armies formed a formation with a distance of one mile.

Qiang people don't know the art of war and battle formation, so the so-called military formation is nothing more than a group of people, even if it is an formation.

Soldiers standing in line are all familiar with each other, including sword and shield soldiers, spearmen and archers. Although the tens of thousands of horses are grouped into one pile, they are divided into tens or hundreds of small piles. There are all kinds of arms in the pile.

However, the Qiang people have always advocated force, and they are not afraid of death on the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

"Let's go and fuck Liwu's mother with me!"

Wudang let out a groan, and immediately rushed out of the formation with three hundred.

On the opposite side, Li Tu, a handsome man from the neighboring department, also rushed out with [-] cavalry.

When they were 150 steps apart, the two of them stopped their horses at the same time and watched from a distance in front of the formation.

Li Tu yelled: "Wudang, today I will definitely cut off your dog's head."

How could Wu Dang show weakness, and scolded: "The strength of the donkey day, the seed of your livestock, today I will not only kill you, but also fuck your woman and old mother again later, so that your old mother will give birth to you again." Brother come out!"

"Hahaha!"

The three hundred cavalrymen behind them burst out laughing, and all of them applauded loudly.

Li Tu was not moved, he laughed loudly and said: "As long as you can kill Ben Shuai, his old lady and women will be yours. If Ben Shuai can kill your stupid ass by luck, your old lady Although you are dead, the commander-in-chief of a dozen women will naturally give you a good fuck, and when you get tired of it, you will distribute it to your brothers and give you more sons. And your son's woman, Ben Shuai has to taste what it tastes like."

Wu Dang grinned and said, "What's the point of that? Go back and prepare to fight. Today, you will die or I will die. I have to kill your donkey day and take away all the cattle, sheep, animals and food from your neighbors." , I have more than 20 people under my command to survive, so you are dead today, and I will definitely not let you go."

"Ben Shuai thinks so too!"

Litu said slowly: "What's the hurry, we have been friends for decades, and we had some kind of friendship in the past, since we have to divide life and death today, don't you don't want to say a few more words to me, you stupid ass, so as not to If you die, you have no chance."

Wu Dang scolded: "I'm still telling you shit, you have never looked like a man in your whole life, I look down on you, a bastard who often hides behind and hurts people, hurry up, come here if you want to die !"

Litu's face turned dark, and the veins on his forehead twitched: "Can you clean your mouth, you stupid ass?"

"Hahaha!"

Wu Dang scolded to relieve his anger, and laughed loudly: "I'm just upset, so what can you do?"

Litu gritted his teeth and said, "Then you will never die!"

After finishing talking nonsense, he immediately turned around and rushed back to the main formation with three hundred cavalry.

"go!"

Wudang also greeted, and led the cavalry back to the formation.

Soon, in the quiet wilderness, drums burst into the sky, and passionate horns sounded together.

Li Tu and Wu Dang gave the order at the same time, and each rushed towards the other with more than ten thousand troops.

"Donkey day, eat me with a knife!"

Wudang took the lead and rushed to the front, clapping his horse and wielding his sword, and went straight to Litu.

More than ten thousand soldiers and horses behind them also shouted in disorder, and followed Wudang to charge forward.

"I'm still afraid that you won't succeed!"

Litu roared at the same time, swung his knife to stop Wudang and began to fight.

Immediately, the two armies collided fiercely, with white knives in and red knives out, and they fought hard.

Wu Dang doesn't like to play tricks very much, but his bravery is much better than Li Tu's, and he will soon be unable to parry Li Tu's kills.

Taking time to take a look, I found that there were many old and weak women and children in the army of the brothers who were fighting together, and those who were killed by their own army retreated steadily. They couldn't help feeling relieved, and while slashing with their knives, they looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: " Donkey Day’s Litu, did all the men in your neighborhood die, even the old, the weak, the sick, and the women ran out to fight for their lives.”

While parrying in embarrassment, Litu gnashed his teeth and said: "You idiot, don't get complacent too early, the men in your wolf department are all eggless, even the women in our brother's neighboring department are inferior."

"Fuck your motherfucker!"

Wu Dang scolded: "The men in your brother's tribe are so fucking useless. They don't even dare to go to the battlefield. What kind of men are they? Let the women come out and fight their lives. The men in your brother's tribe are really fucking embarrassing us Qiang people." ,I bother!"

"Kill, never retreat!"

Litu roared again and again, he was stabbed desperately, and slashed at Wudang's forehead.

"Oh, the donkey day really dares to work hard!"

Wudang wolf howled, and quickly lay on his back on the horse's back, only to avoid the knife.

The brutal fight lasted for half an hour. Although most of the more than [-] soldiers and horses of the brother neighbors were old and weak women and children, even those women who were forced to go to the battlefield were fighting desperately with knives and red eyes. No one flinched. .

Litu wore several knives on his body, tried to get rid of Wudang several times, but was overtaken by Wudang.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, and he really wasn't Wudang's opponent, he had to fight Wudang with several warriors from the clan.

Wu Li was fighting one against six, and burst into groups with killing power, while laughing triumphantly, because he found that the men and horses of his brother's neighbors finally began to show their defeat, and those who were killed by his own army began to retreat.

As long as you work harder, you can defeat the army of the brother neighbors.

As long as Litu can be defeated this time, the cattle, sheep, livestock and grain of the neighboring tribe will be his own.

With the cattle, sheep, livestock and food from my brother's neighbors, the 20 old and weak women and children under my command, the women and children who are waiting for food with their mouths open, can survive until the autumn grain goes to the ground, and they don't have to starve to death. .

"Boys, let me kill you!"

Wudang let out a wolf howl at the top of his voice, "It's too late for a donkey who has no eggs, let me kill you! As long as you defeat the brother neighbors, the cattle, sheep, livestock and food of the brothers neighbors will be ours. Women and children don’t have to starve to death.”

"Kill kill kill..."

Tens of thousands of men roared in unison, the morale of the army was greatly boosted, and they fought for their lives.

For the members of the Sanlang tribe whose wives and children are already hungry, there is nothing more tempting than cattle, sheep, livestock and food.In order for his wife and children not to be starved to death, even if he dies today, he must kill one of them.

Under the ebb and flow, the army of the Shenlang tribe became more and more courageous, while the men and horses of the Gelin tribe began to retreat steadily.

Seeing that going on like this is not an option, a Qiang soldier came up to Litu and hissed, "Marshal, I can't stop it anymore, why don't you retreat for now, wait until the soldiers and horses are collected, and then fight Gou Ri and Shen Lang." gone."

Li Tu said with a miserable face: "After such a big defeat, the tribe will not survive, how can we retreat!"

Qiang Bing shouted: "Commander, I really can't stand it anymore, if this continues, we will all die!"

"That's it!"

With a sad face on his face, Litu shouted in despair: "Back, back to Shehu Valley!"

"As ordered!"

The Qiang soldiers rode away immediately.
