【Chapter 437】Meeting, the decisive battle of the naturalized city!
[Chapter 437] Make an appointment and fight for Guihua City!
(0437)
【Today's third update is delivered!】
Xu Xingxia raised the thousand-mile mirror and observed the camp of the *** people. Sure enough, the *** people began to retreat slowly. In terms of retreating movements, the *** people were still very refreshing. What they were best at was strategic maneuvers. At this time, they fully played out. The white-clothed army did not have much chance to pursue, and could only follow behind the *** people silently.
Of course, in order to maintain the rapid retreat, the *** people also discarded a large number of things. As long as they did not need to be taken away, they threw away all of them. After the *** people retreated, the place where they were originally stationed was full of chaos. The White-clothed Army found a considerable number of corpses of war horses. It was probably the injured war horses that were cut to death by the *** people. They would rather cut the war horses to death than leave them to the White-clothed Army.
Liu Chuang and the soldiers hunting cavalry were searching carefully in the camp of the *** people, hoping to find some valuable supplies. After a while, he seemed to have discovered something, and came to Xu Xingxia with a piece of stuff, and said loudly: "Sir, it seems to be a letter, which should be left by Lin Danhan."
Xu Xingxia casually said, "What's the content?"
Zhang Tianhao took it, tore open the seal, pulled out the letter paper, flirted it casually, and said, "What else can I do? Challenge the book. Lin Danhan failed here and wanted to find face in Guihua City. He asked you to fight in Guihua City."
He handed the letter to Xu Xingxia. Xu Xingxia took it and read it carefully. It was indeed the letter to him by Lin Danhan. Of course, it was not Lin Danhan's handwriting, but the writer of Risong. Lin Danhan hated Xu Xingxia so much that he naturally would not write the letter himself. The content of the letter was very simple. Lin Danhan invited Xu Xingxia to Guihua City to fight to the death.
Zhang Tianhao said: "This idiot is simply unaware of the so-called."
Xu Xingxia thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "You can help me reply to him, I agree."
Zhang Tianhao was stunned for a moment, a little confused. Is it too risky to go to Guihua City to fight to the decisive battle? By the way, the current strength of the White Army seems to be a bit difficult to attack Guihua City! It should be noted that Heishan Camp is a total of two or three thousand miles away from Guihua City.
Xu Xingxia said lightly: "If Guihua City hinders our development, it will always be taken down. As for when to take down, it is our business."
Zhang Tianhao understood and was immediately excited. Lin Danhan did not explain the date of the decisive battle, which means that Xu Xingxia would not fight ten or eight years later. Perhaps it would not take so long that the white-clothed army could enter Guihua City.
...
The results of the battle statistics came out. Before and after the Battle of Baihuze, the White-Clothed Army died, injured and missing people. The most severely damaged were the Mastiff Cavalry, followed by the Diao Cavalry and the Eagle Cavalry. The losses of the people were more than 15,000, and the ratio of the two sides was close to 10 to 1. Victory was undoubtedly the White-Clothed Army. Despite the considerable price, the threat of the people to Bayannur Grassland was temporarily lifted.
This is very important for the future strategy of the White-Clothed Army. After the Battle of White-Clothed Army, if the people want to continue to launch an attack, they have to consider it. With Lin Dankhan's strength, unless they are trying to attack, it will definitely not be that easy to take down the Bayannur grassland. The strength of the White-Clothed Army is increasing, which is the most difficult for him to reach. One has risen and the other has declined, and the power comparison between him and Xu Xingxia will be getting closer and closer in the future.
On the contrary, if the White Army wants to take the initiative to launch an attack, the opportunities will gradually mature. The White Army controls Bayannur grassland and Ningxia Town, learns from each other's strengths and complements each other, and all military strength can grow rapidly. As long as there is a safe development environment near the Heishan Camp, all economic indicators will continue to increase. Ningxia Town has all the innate conditions, and the only thing that is lacking is a stable development environment.
At this time, Xu Xingxia didn't know about the Leopard Cavalry's entry into Yansui Town. Therefore, he did not count Yansui Town in terms of various military budgets. If Yansui Town was included, he would definitely be more optimistic. With the addition of Yansui Town, the expansion speed of the White-clothed Army would definitely be faster. When necessary, it could be expanded to more than 30,000 people.
While talking, someone came to report: "Sir, the Tuyuhun people are here!"
Xu Xingxia nodded and said meaningfully: "Let's go, let's take a look!"
Soon, the former leader of Tuyuhun, Houdefu and the current leader of Aoyangga, all arrived. They brought generous gifts to the White Army. The White Army repelled Lin Danhan's attack, and the most direct benefit was the Tuyuhun people. If there were no accidents, their safety in Bayannur grassland would not be violated in the short term. For this reason, they sent a considerable number of horses, cattle and sheep as condolences to the White Army soldiers.
In the battle of Baihuze, the soldiers from Tuyuhun performed quite well. Overall, Xu Xingxia was quite satisfied. Later, as the relationship between the two sides continued to deepen, all Tuyuhun cavalry could be equipped with muskets and become directly under the White Army. The Tuyuhun people were also willing to accept this. Judging from the current situation of the Tuyuhun tribe, it was still no problem to draw 3,000 strong men to directly participate in the White Army.
In the evening, the White Army held a celebration banquet to celebrate the victory of the battle. The victory was sent back to Heishan Camp in the morning. At the evening celebration banquet, the Tuyuhun people became the masters. They roasted a large amount of cattle, sheep, mutton, and rewarded the soldiers of the White Army who worked hard. They also brought a large amount of milk wine. The degree of these milk wine was very low, and even if they poured a few large bowls, they would not be drunk. The soldiers of the White Army all opened their stomachs and drank a lot, and Xu Xingxia also drank a lot.
When we woke up the next day, we were the funeral of the fallen soldiers. Xu Xingxia, all the senior generals of the White Army, as well as the main nobles of the Tuyuhun people, attended the funeral. The bodies of all the dead martyrs in the White Army were buried in the Quail Ridge. This Quail Ridge is the place where the White Army martyrs were buried before. In fact, it was a small bulge, with a relative height of only about thirty meters. Because occasionally partridges fell, it was named Quail Ridge.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The carefully selected guard of honor kept firing guns at the sky, creating a solemn atmosphere. The gunshots sent away the heroic souls. The white smoke produced by each shot formed circles and kept floating into the sky. The breeze blew, and the white banners fluttered around the martyrs' cemetery, and the white flags fluttered, paper flowers flew, and a bleak and murderous atmosphere.
Xu Xingxia and others were all solemn, took off their military caps, bent down to salute, and looked at the martyrs who were buried in a unified manner. The customs on the grassland and the bodies of those who died in battle were usually cremated. However, the customs of the Han people were burial. Therefore, the white-clothed army adopted the method of burial. If there were not enough coffins, the body was covered with the white-clothed army's military flag.
Although the conditions were a bit simple, the atmosphere on the scene was still very solemn. Such a funeral was also a great encouragement to other white-clothed soldiers. It would be a waste to have such courtesy after death. If it were the past, after they died, they would probably wrap a straw mat on their bodies and dig a hole to bury them. If they could have a thin coffin, it would be considered a luxury.
Gao Jie's body has almost recovered. He also attended today's funeral. This was the first time he attended such a funeral. This moved him very much. Many of the buried soldiers actually had a chance to survive. However, they generously gave the opportunity to their companions of the Mastiff Cavalry. Whenever they thought of this, Gao Jie couldn't help himself. Fortunately, Wang Xia was not surprised, otherwise, he would really blame himself deeply.
After the funeral, Xu Xingxia adjusted the deployment of the White Army. The main force of the White Army was temporarily stationed in Bayannur area to continue to protect the safety of Bayannur grassland. At the same time, this is also a rest. All troops must seize the time to supplement the vacancies, train new recruits, and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Previously, some new recruits did not complete all skills training. Now, they must find ways to make up for it. They must also conduct strict assessments.
The vast Bayannur Grassland is actually a good training ground. Training here by the White-Clothed Army is conducive to getting familiar with the basic situation of the grassland as soon as possible. If there is no accident, the grassland will be the main battlefield of the White-Clothed Army for a long time in the future. At the same time, the Tuyuhun people who are supplemented with the White-Clothed Army can also be better integrated into the White-Clothed Army. The arrival of the Tuyuhun people can better improve the combat effectiveness of the White-Clothed Army in the Grassland.
Of course, we cannot relax our attention to the people. The Diao Cavalry, Eagle Cavalry, and Eagle Cavalry will continue to stare at the movements of the people. In order to better monitor the movements of the people, some Tuyuhun cavalry were also incorporated into the Diao Cavalry or Eagle Cavalry. If necessary, the main force of the White-clothed Army will also be dispatched to actively attack the people.
After Lin Danhan joined forces with his reinforcements, it is still unknown whether he would still launch an attack like Bayannur Grassland. However, even if he launched an attack again, the White-Clothed Army had nothing to worry about. Because the current White-Clothed Army had enough strength to fight the arrival of the people. At worst, it was just a copy of the White-Clothed Army.
Now, the craftsmen's workshops in Weizhen Fort are all started day and night, and about 100 sun and moon guns can be produced every day, about 3,000 per month, which can be equipped with more troops. The three iron smelting blast furnaces in Ningxia City are also started day and night, providing sufficient raw materials for building weapons and equipment. Therefore, as long as Xu Xingxia is willing, the number of white-clothed troops can continue to increase, increasing to a terrifying number.
...
"Sir, the envoy of the Lin family is here." Suddenly, Zhang Tianhao came to report.
"Lin Family?" Xu Xingxia didn't react for a while. He had been fighting for wars during this period, and he really forgot all the people in the Lin family.
"It's Miss Lin Feirong who is here." Zhang Tianhao explained.
"Oh, it's her! Please!" After waking up, Xu Xingxia said in a deep voice.
After a while, Lin Feirong's figure appeared in front of Xu Xingxia. The eldest lady of the Lin family was wearing black clothes and covered her beautiful figure under the wide black clothes. It seemed that she was a little bit self-deprecating about her figure and did not want Xu Xingxia to see it. This also shows that she was still a little resistant to Xu Xingxia. After all, all the property of the Lin family in Ningxia City was confiscated by Xu Xingxia.
After meeting, Lin Feirong's expression fully demonstrated this point. The eldest lady of the Lin family was obviously not very friendly to Xu Xingxia. She said in a light sentence: "Sir, it's really not easy for a girl to meet you! I thought you would go back to Heishan Camp, but I didn't expect that she would stay in Baihuze for so long."
Xu Xingxia didn't care about the dissatisfaction in her words at all. His mind was actually not on her at all. To be honest, his vision is a bit high now. The Lin family, which originally thought was high, was no longer in his eyes. No matter how powerful the Lin family was, it was just like that in front of the bayonet of the White Army. Since that's the case, why should Xu Xingxia keep respecting them? He said casually: "You are here for the sake of glass?"
Lin Feirong said sarcastically: "I hope that the adults have not forgotten the agreement we have reached. In addition, the little woman also wants to ask shamelessly, I wonder if there is still a possibility of repaying the 260,000 taels of silver from our Lin family?"
Xu Xingxia said readily: "Of course I won't forget about the glass. You can just send someone to my father to pick up the goods directly. As for the 260,000 taels of silver, even if your Lin family advances the payment in advance. I will give you the glass worth a lot of money and get both money and goods. Miss Lin, is there no problem?"
Lin Feirong frowned and said, "It seems that the chairman is not as domineering as the legends outside."
Xu Xingxia smiled slightly and signaled that she could sit down and talk. Lin Feirong hesitated for a moment and finally sat down. Xu Xingxia said with concern: "Is Lingtang okay?"
Lin Feirong said calmly: "My mother has also seen great storms, so of course nothing is wrong. Now, the adults are willing to pay back the money from our Lin family, so it is even more okay. Speaking of which, I want to thank my mother for your generosity. In addition, if we want to come back to Ningxia City, we live in the old house. I wonder if the adults allow it?"
Xu Xingxia said bluntly: "I am a thief with a tick on his forehead. Do you dare to come back? Aren't you afraid that the court will also charge you as a thief?"
Lin Feirong smiled slightly and said calmly: "There is nothing to dare to do or not, isn't it just doing business? Doing business with you is also doing business, and doing business with others is also doing business. If you have so many concerns, won't you not have to do any business?"
Chapter completed!
