The last three kingdoms

Chapter 359 Assembly Number

As soon as we got close to Xiaoyu Valley, the terrain suddenly opened up. From the rolling mountain canyons, it suddenly became flat and stretched as far as the eye can see.The Big and Little Elm Valley is close to the West Sea, with flat terrain and fertile land. The Qiang people have lived here for hundreds of years.

Different from the tall and wide cities of the Han people, the settlements of the Qiang people are mostly small earthen and stone fortresses. They are based on ethnic groups or families, each forming a village, and each has its own territory. China is dotted with stars.

The early Qiang people were also like the Xiongnu Xianbei. They were mainly nomadic and lived a life of chasing water and grass. After moving to the Elm Valley, the land here is fertile and the products are rich. The Qiang people also began to change from nomadic to farming. Living here, building stones as a room, and living a settled life.

Yang Xin suggested to Liu Yin that the big and small elm valleys are the root of the Qiang people. If you want to completely solve the Western Qiang, you must capture the big and small elm valleys.However, there are hundreds of thousands of Qiang people gathered in the Elm Valley, and the Qiang people are all soldiers. They are farmers when they pick up a hoe, and soldiers when they pick up a bow and arrow. The land has been sent to attack several times, but it has never been able to do so under the resistance of the entire Qiang people.

The purpose of Liu Yin's attack on Western Qiang was not to annex the land of the Qiang people, but to use this method to solve the worries of Longyou and go all out to deal with the attack of Cao Wei on the eastern front.In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to make a quick decision, use the war to promote peace, destroy the vital strength of the Qiang people, and force them to give up their coveted land in Longyou.

According to the information obtained earlier, the Great Elm Valley was personally guarded by the Western Qiang King Yao Kehui, while the Little Elm Valley was guarded by the eldest prince Yao Yi'an and the second prince Yao Yikang.

According to Yao Yi'an's plan, it was to mobilize all the forces of the Qiang people and wait in full force in Xiaoyu Valley to annihilate any incoming enemies.Yao Yikang, however, believed that the attack should be pre-emptive and ambushed the invading enemy on the way.Finally, after some disputes, Yao Yi'an agreed to Yao Yikang's plan, and he personally led 2 people to ambush the Shu army on the way.

However, because of Yao Yikang's own recklessness, the entire ambush plan failed. Afterwards, he had no choice but to lead his troops back to Little Elm Valley, and join forces with Yao Yi'an, preparing to fight Liu Yin again.

Regarding Yao Yikang's failure this time, Yao Yi'an, the eldest brother who opposed him to send troops at the beginning, did not use it to sneer, but instead gave a few words of comfort. For the position of crown prince, the two brothers have been competing in secret for a long time.

Yao Yikang took a deep breath, anyway, Liu Yin's target was Xiaoyugu, he would come to attack sooner or later, when the new debts and old debts will be settled together, the dark losses he suffered may not be recovered.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here. Yao Yikang has just returned to Xiaoyu Valley, and before he can sit on his hot ass, he listens to the sentry horse to report that the brigade of the Shu army has entered the boundary of Xiaoyu Valley.

"It's just in time!" Yao Yi stood up vigorously, and said to Yao Yi'an: "Brother, this Liu Yin has made an inch and dared to invade Xiaoyu Valley. Today, I must give him some color."

There are quite a few earth forts and stone forts in Xiaoyu Valley, but there is no big village that can be relied on for defense. Even the two princes Yao Yi'an and Yao Yikang live in two larger stone fortresses. The most effective way to defend with danger and deal with the invading enemy is to call on all the Qiang people to fight together and use crowd tactics to overwhelm the opponent.

As the eldest prince, Yao Yi'an is the person in charge of Little Elm Valley, he stood up slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Blow the horn, call for warriors, and follow me to fight!"

"Woooooo-"

The high-pitched sound of the horn echoed across the boundless land of Little Elm Valley. Many Qiang people who were preparing for spring plowing doubtfully put down their agricultural tools and raised their heads. They were no strangers to the sound of the horn, and it was the most intensive call to action. , All the Qiang people who heard the order must immediately put down their affairs, pick up their weapons, and rush to the assembly point.

Such a horn sound had not been sounded for some years, and its sound meant that a strong enemy had invaded Xiaoyu Valley, and all the Qiang people threw away their agricultural tools and rushed back to the earth fortress.There are weapons that everyone wears, knives or bows, even leather armor.These weapons are all owned by individuals. When something happens to the tribe, these seemingly honest farmers will transform into Qiang warriors and fly to the battlefield to defend against the invading enemies.

Such a high-pitched horn sound could also be clearly heard by the Shu army who had just entered Little Elm Valley. Liu Yin frowned. He couldn't think that this was the welcome song of the Qiang people. If he guessed right, it must be the Qiang people's song. assembly number.

Sure enough, small black dots appeared on the horizon ahead. At first, these black dots were scattered, but soon the black dots converged into a black line, and more and more black dots joined the black line , the black line also became thicker and thicker, moving forward slowly, not long after, Liu Yin could see the Qiang people all over the mountains and plains, gathered together amidst the sound of horns blowing non-stop, and came face to face Come.

Just like a Hollywood blockbuster, the scene of layer upon layer rushing towards the sky and covering the earth is extremely shocking. Compared with the vast and boundless team of the Qiang people, the Shu army of thousands of people seems small many.

Fu Zhu gasped secretly, and said in surprise, "My good fellow, there are at least tens of thousands of Qiang soldiers, right?"

"Not seven to eighty thousand, at least five or sixty thousand." The Qiang people are all soldiers, Liu Yin is very clear about this, since he has come to the Qiang land, he will inevitably face this problem, although there are no Qiang people recruited temporarily. The combat power of the standing soldiers is like that of the Qiang people, but the Qiang people are tough and brave since childhood, and all of them have extraordinary bravery. An army composed of this group of tigers and wolves should not be underestimated.

Liu Yin ordered the formation to be formed immediately, and formed a character-shaped attack formation with cavalry archers as sharp knives in front and cavalry cavalry as two wings.

The individual quality of the Qiang soldiers is excellent, but the overall combat ability is very poor. Liu Yin is planning to use the cavalry archers as the first, starting from the weak link of the Qiang people, first tearing a hole, and then using the powerful impact of the cavalry, Take advantage of the collective attack power and win the first blow. Although there are many Qiang people, it is impossible for them all to enter the battlefield at once. Liu Yin wants to take advantage of the overall advantages of the Shu army to form a crushing trend locally and destroy the Qiang people. will to fight.
