Chapter 458 Victory in the First Battle
Chapter 464

To the west of King Kang's city, Meng Bai, the governor of Dashi, encamped Yisli and [-] Dashi cavalry on a plain.

The barracks of the big cannibals are not as organized as the army of the Central Plains, but are built in the order of the inside and the outside, layer by layer. Residential villages.

Although the Chinese army has arrived in the Kang country above the Congling Ridge, the big cannibal is not worried.The Cannibal even insisted that as long as the Cannibal does not take the initiative to attack, the Chinese army will not fight the Cannibal.The goal of the Chinese emperor is nothing more than Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms.

The purpose of the Dashi army stationed here is to supervise and intimidate the Allied Forces of the Nine Nations to fight against the Chinese Army and prevent the Chinese Emperor's political intention of recovering the land of the nine surnames of Zhaowu.

But the big cannibal never dreamed that the real goal of the Chinese emperor Zhang Xuan was the big food, not the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu.

It can be said that the main purpose of the Western Expeditionary Army's entry into the Western Regions was to find an opportunity to fight against the Cannibals, completely expel the Cannibals from Central Asia, and even take advantage of the situation to invade Persia and the Cannibals, expanding the territory of the Chinese Dynasty as much as possible.

Night falls.The camp of the Chinese Army.

In the emperor's handsome tent, the lights were brightly lit.

Zhang Xuanning sat in the tent with his eyes straight, and the generals lined up on both sides. On the left was Guo Ziyi, who was the head of the military generals, and on the right, Tian Kexin, who was the army adviser and Wen Cong's subordinates.After all, when the emperor was in the army, he not only had to command the battle, but also deal with the important affairs of the empire according to the memorials from the Central Plains.

Guo Ziyi came out of the class and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, our army is less than a hundred miles away from King Kang's City. According to Tanma's news, there are 7 people in the King's City of Kang and the Allied Forces of the Nine Kingdoms. I am willing to invite you to lead an army of [-]. Tomorrow dawn, we will attack them and strive to fight for them." Take Kangwangcheng and welcome His Majesty!"

Lei Wanchun also stood up and said in a muffled voice, "Your Majesty, the last general is willing to go with Prime Minister Guo and be the vanguard of the army!"

"Kangwang City is just a tiny city. If our army approaches the city and launches an attack, the city will be reduced to ashes."

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, turned to look at Tian Kexin and said with a smile, "Kexin, what do you think?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, King Kang's City is nothing to worry about. Don't worry about the so-called Nine-Nation Alliance Army. Although the Nine-Nation Alliance Army claims to be [-] strong, it is impossible to resist our army. If our army gathers all its strength to attack the city, one day Breakable."

"However, I think that it is not difficult for His Majesty to destroy the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu, but what His Majesty wants is not the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu that are in ruins and populated by people... My real opponent is Dashi—I think our army should be divided Hundreds of thousands of soldiers are slowly approaching the city of King Kang, deterring the people of the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu from acting rashly, and on the other hand, rushing to the cannibal barracks to the west of the city of King Kang. !"

Tian Kexin said softly.

Guo Ziyi frowned, and immediately retorted, "No, absolutely not. As long as our army pacifies the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu, the big cannibal will naturally retreat without a fight. From then on, he will return to the country and never dare to touch the land of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu or even the Western Regions. But if our army takes the initiative to start a war against Dashi, especially if it goes undeclared, it will definitely cause the soldiers of Dashi to counterattack, I'm afraid..."

Tian Kexin smiled lightly, glanced at Guo Ziyi, and remained silent.

In her opinion, Guo Ziyi is more than loyal and stable, but not vigorous enough.He is too well-behaved for being an official and leading the army.

"War without declaration? Ziyi, I want to start a war against the big cannibal. This battle should be regarded as my letter of war to the big cannibal!"

Zhang Xuan laughed loudly, "I have made up my mind, first destroy the Great Food Army, and then determine the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms. This battle is inevitable, and it should be decided quickly."

Guo Ziyi gasped.

Tian Kexin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the so-called know yourself and the enemy, you can win every battle. These days, I have collected and prepared some information about the strength of the Dashi army and horses, and I will talk to you generals here."

Zhang Xuan nodded.

Tian Kexin looked solemnly, looked around at the generals and said calmly, "In Kexin's opinion, Dashi is not comparable to Tubo and Tuqi Shiren. Dashiren's infantry lined up with spears as the front and shields as protection, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner. The Dashi Cavalry is mainly equipped with Damascus knives, which are extremely sharp. In addition, the Dashi Cavalry has a sturdy temperament and is skilled in riding and unstoppable. This is the biggest feature and the biggest advantage of the Dashi Army Horse. The reason for the battle of Gao Xianzhi Taros The reason for the defeat was that the Cavalry Cavalry was brave and good at fighting and was good at charging, and our cavalry camp was very difficult to stop."

"But the shortcomings of the Dashi army horses are also fatal. They are mainly light cavalry. They don't have the heavy armor of our army, and their armor is poor. Although they can ensure mobility and flexibility to advance and retreat freely, their protection ability is very weak during the charge of battle."

"The advantage of our army lies in two aspects: on the one hand, it has heavy armor and strong crossbows. The Modao army, infantry, crossbowmen and cavalry are mixed in combat; on the other hand, it is firearms. This time our army carries firearms , the consumption is very little, I think it is time for the cannibal to taste the power of the firearm developed by His Majesty himself."

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Tian Kexin's mouth, "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion."

"Our army is fighting against the big cannibals. The bowmen should be the first team, and the arrows will be rained on the enemy's formation, and then quickly retreat. The firearms battalion will be the second team, and they will launch thunder at the big cannibal formation, and then retreat. The first team and the second team evacuated to the two sides, while the third team - the Mo Dao Army and the Shence Army cavalry were in the middle, and the infantry and crossbowmen were on the sides or pressed from behind. , It is also difficult to resist the serial charges of our army."

"Sweep his spirit with arrows, disrupt his army with firearms, charge his army with Modao army and Shence cavalry equipped with rockets, encircle him with infantry and crossbowmen, how can the Dashi army be undefeated?"

"Okay. Well said!" Zhang Xuan laughed loudly, and suddenly slapped the desk table, "Guo Ziyi, I have divided [-] troops with you, and immediately dispatched troops to attack the Dashi barracks, trying to destroy the Isli army before tomorrow evening. Dashi army horses. Kexin, I order you to go from Guo Ziyi to the military counselor!"

"I obey the order!" Guo Ziyi accepted the order solemnly.

"Your Majesty's mission must be fulfilled!" Tian Kexin's eyes were slightly excited.

……

……

Guo Ziyi and Tian Kexin led [-] troops, with no flags and drums, and rushed westward to attack the Isli Dashi barracks.In the early morning of the second day, by the time Isli reacted, the [-] troops had already surrounded them in three directions, less than ten miles away from the Dashi barracks.

Knowing that the Chinese Dynasty sent [-] soldiers to destroy his [-] cavalry, Isri was shocked and immediately retreated to Dashi territory.However, Tian Kexin led Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun with [-] people to directly block the military road from Kang Guo to the territory of Dashi, and they have been waiting for a long time to set up an army formation.

Among the 5000 people, there are 5000 Shence Army, [-] Modao Army, [-] infantry, [-] crossbowmen and [-] firearm battalions.According to Tian Kexin's suggestion, the Chinese army broke the original organizational system and temporarily mixed multiple arms during wartime, and the chief general commanded them in a unified manner.

The 2 cavalry retreated with shouts. Seeing the Chinese army and horses blocking the road ahead, Isri gritted his teeth and took the lead in charging. Definitely wiped out the whole army.

The black flag of the Dashi army was fluttering in the wind, and the Dashi cavalry faced the [-] Chinese army horses without any fear, waving their scimitars fiercely, shouting and rushing forward.

The faces of the Chinese soldiers were solemn.Everyone knows the fighting power of the big cannibals. The big cannibal cavalry is not comparable to the Tubo people or even the Tuqishi people.

Tian Kexin, who was in armor, smiled coldly, holding the beige military flag high in her hand.Nan Jiyun on the side shouted loudly, "Crossbowmen step forward and fire! The firearms battalion is ready!"

Following the order, the 5000 crossbowmen who had been preparing for a long time formed a long line and fired three rounds of crossbow arrows one after another.Arrows fell like rain into the army formation of the big cannibal charging forward. Countless big cannibal cavalry fell off their horses screaming, and were trampled into flesh by the crazy horseshoes in an instant.

However, after the temporary chaos, the big cannibal's army quickly returned to its original state, which shows the good quality and strong combat effectiveness of the big cannibal cavalry.

Tian Kexin let out a long breath, and raised the order flag again.Nan Jiyun yelled again, "The crossbowmen retreat, the firearms battalion is on!"

The 5000 crossbowmen retreated quickly from both sides, revealing the operators of the 5000 Firearms Battalion who had been waiting for a long time.Five people formed a group, and a thousand groups of firearmsmen manipulated a thousand thunder-shaking vehicles. Following the order, thousands of thunder-shaking thunders flew out, and fell into the formation of food one after another, sending out thunderous roars that could be heard endlessly. Sounds, explosions, flames everywhere, smoke and dust billowing, the violent explosions covered the neighing and hysterical screams of the cavalry cavalry.

"Continue to launch!" Nan Jiyun ordered again.

The well-trained firearms battalion fired three rounds of thunder, and then evacuated immediately regardless of the battle situation.

As the main force of the charge, the 2 people of the Modao Army and the Shence Army have long been eager to try.

Tian Kexin turned her head and glanced at Nan Jiyun, and raised the flag high.

The long spear in Nan Jiyun's hand pointed forward, and he roared angrily, "The Shence army has them all, follow me to charge!"

Li Siye also yelled, "Boys, let's go ahead and destroy the Dashi army horses, Your Majesty will reward you!"

The [-] Shence Army and the [-] Modao Army rushed up from both sides, and fought fiercely with the chaotic Dashi cavalry.

And at this moment, Guo Ziyi led [-] soldiers and horses to chase after him. Isli's big food army horse fell into the front and back pincers, and was frightened by the firearms of the Chinese army horse, and was outnumbered. It began to crumble.

Some fought fiercely with Li Siye's Modao army, while some were frightened by the mysterious rocket launch of the Shence army, and fled in all directions, falling into Guo Ziyi's encirclement.

From noon to dusk and sunset, within two hours, Isri's army was almost wiped out.The hundreds of cavalrymen who escaped were deliberately let go by Guo Ziyi according to the emperor's order.

On Congling Ridge, the first battle was won.

It's just that a hundred thousand troops are fighting against [-] cavalry cavalry, and if they win, they win, but it doesn't mean anything.The real battle of life and death is yet to come.
