Chapter 163: Western Regions, Anxi Protectorate(1/2)
"Yuan Hao from the right Fufeng mobilizes a large army to attack. Wang Li, you lead troops to stop the Xia army and wait for me to defeat the white-robed army and come to meet with you again."
In the Qin Army camp in Xianyang Town, Meng Tian divided the Qin Army into two parts.
Wang Li, deputy general of the Great Wall Legion, was entrusted with an important task and said with a fist: "I am willing to sacrifice my life to stop the Xia army!"
"I will entrust all the military affairs to you."
Qin Xiaogong took Shang Yang to the Qin army camp in person to bid farewell to the generals Meng Tian and Wang Li.
"Please rest assured that although the White Robe Army is strong, the Golden Fire Cavalry is not so easy to be defeated. Young Master, please follow me to go to war."
Meng Tian brought his son Fusu with him and wanted to train him as a hero of the generation.
"Um."
The young master Fusu turned his back on the horse, which was a little more determined than two years ago.
"Set off!"
Meng Tian ordered 50,000 Qin troops to set up all the way west to face Yuan Hao's Wei army and Chen Qingzhi's Liang army.
Qin Xiaogong and Shang Yang watched Meng Tian and Qin army leave with a serious expression.
This time, Zhang Hua formed an alliance with Yuan Hao of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Yuan Hao sent 70,000 troops, while Meng Tian fought with 50,000 Qin troops, leaving 20,000 defenders to defend Xianyang Town.
Wang Li led 50,000 Qin troops, stationed in Jingshui, and guarded the Xia army.
"This time it is related to the survival of our Qin Dynasty, and we can only rely on Meng Tian."
"Yes. What is the origin of this Zhang Hua?"
Qin Xiaogong and Shang Yang put their hands behind them, and felt that their future was uncertain about this battle.
This is the great Qin Dynasty in Guanzhong betting on the national destiny.
Once you lose, the Great Qin in Guanzhong may perish.
As for whether other Qin monarchs had established power in other places, it is unknown to Qin Xiaogong and Shang Yang.
In Sanyuan Town, Zhang Hua summoned more than 100,000 troops and horses to confront the Tang and Xia dynasties.
Zhang Hua recalled two military generals, Li Ling and Lu Lingqi.
After making military achievements in the north, Li Ling and Lu Lingqi were appointed as commanders by Zhang Hua, each leading a group of troops.
"That's not a Red Rabbit Horse..."
When Zhang Hua saw Lu Lingqi riding a red war horse, he suspected that it was the red rabbit horse that Lu Bu was most proud of.
So Zhang Hua called Lu Lingqi: "Is this Lu Bu's Red Rabbit Horse?"
"This is the descendant of the Red Rabbit."
"I see."
Zhang Hua thought that Lu Lingqi had snatched Lu Bu's war horse, and it turned out to be the descendant of the Red Rabbit Horse.
But hasn't the Red Rabbit Horse been castrated?
Zhang Hua was surprised to find that this second-generation Red Rabbit Horse seemed to be very powerful, and might not be inferior to a general.
War horses have undergone changes in this world, and the power of each war horse is even stronger.
"Li Ji, you will lead the troops alone to deal with the Qin army."
Zhang Hua divided the troops to Li Ji and asked Li Ji to attack Wang Li's Great Wall Legion alone.
When he was in Heluo, Li Ji defeated Wang Li, so he was very familiar with Wang Li.
Li Ji led 30,000 troops to fight against Wang Li, while Zhang Hua commanded the main force to deal with Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was stronger than that of Qin Xiaogong, and Zhang Hua used his main force to attack the Tang Dynasty.
...
In the distant Western Regions, the Gobi Desert is also the territory of China.
A Tang army soldier dressed in bright armor, holding a huge sword in his hand, marched in the Gobi, crossed mountains and ridges, left the sphere of influence of China, and entered the enemy's territory.
The Tang army's flags were slapped by the gravels due to the gravels of the yellow sand that were raging thousands of miles away, and many small cracks appeared, but the huge word "Tang" was still clearly visible.
The strong wind blew, and the Tang army general subconsciously blocked his arms in front of him to prevent the yellow sand from entering his eyes.
The yellow sand slapped the armor, making a slight impact sound.
In the Gobi Desert, wearing armor is a huge expense to physical strength.
When marching normally, armor is usually placed on a carriage.
However, at this time, the Tang army was approaching the battlefield and the battle might be about to break out at any time.
The cavalry in front rushed back, informing the generals along the way about the information ahead, and came to the head of the Tang army.
Tens of thousands of Tang troops began to slow down the marching speed. Tang army generals led a team of personal soldiers to gallop towards a hill on the Gobi Desert.
As the cold winter ends, the snow on the snow-capped mountains melts and gathers into a precious river on the Gobi Desert.
The Tang army generals looked down and saw that at the end of the vast plain below, the army of various tribes arrived from three directions, with sand and dust rolling.
The soldiers of these large army had high noses and deep eyes, some of them had blue eyes and red hair, black hair but fair skin, and people similar to those of the Huns.
To the west of the Western Regions, there are also many princes, and various forces fight for oasis, water sources, population, cattle and sheep.
The Tang army was one of the best. This Tang army successively captured six towns, killed tens of thousands of people, traveled through mountains and rivers, and came all the way here.
"The general, the city-states and tribes within a radius of 300 miles were all shocked by us, and there were thirteen towns that surrendered to our city. Maybe we should stop and temporarily withdraw to the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion for rest. At this time, we continue to march deep into the enemy's territory. If the enemies in these places form an alliance, we may find it difficult to win."
The deputy general of the Tang army scanned the troops that entered the wasteland from three directions to block the Tang army's troops, and suggested to the chief general of the Tang army to retreat.
They set out from the Anxi Protectorate Mansion, crossed mountains and ridges, and had been fighting for three months.
But the Tang army generals still expanded outside and conquered the towns of Hu people.
The head general of the Tang army pointed at the Hu army gathered below with a horse whip: "When are we afraid of these native chickens and tiles? One Tang army can attack three Hu soldiers. One thousand Tang army can attack five thousand Hu soldiers. And ten thousand Tang army can attack ten thousand! There are less than one hundred thousand Hu soldiers below, and we have ten thousand people, which is enough to deal with them."
Deputy General of Tang Army did not refute the views of the chief general.
Because this is the fact...
The chief general of the Tang army said again: "When the Modao team came to a high position, launched a charge, defeated these Hu people in one fell swoop, and then killed them all."
"yes!"
The Tang army ordered soldiers to gallop on horseback and rule the vanguard of the Modao team.
The Tang army's Modao team was led by the bravest general, with heavy armor all over his body, holding the Modao like a big sword in his hand, and charged, and the enemy soldiers and horses were broken!
More than 10,000 Tang troops arranged troops according to military orders without any panic.
This Tang army was an elite army of warriors created by the Tang Dynasty's military generals in accordance with the system of the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty. They traverse the Western Regions and are invincible wherever they go.
In the eyes of the Tang army, one Han is the ten Hu.
The Hu forces in the Western Regions, whether they are equipment, systems, or morale, cannot be compared with the Tang army.
Unless it is a force established by heroes in the Western Regions, other scattered Hu forces will be hit by dimensionality reduction when facing the Tang army.
The Tang army of Anxi Protectorate often took the initiative to provoke wars and conquered cities and territories, without any weakness.
The more than 10,000 Tang troops actually took the initiative to attack the Hu coalition forces of about 70,000.
"General, please wait!"
When the Tang army generals were about to lead more than 10,000 Tang troops to take the initiative, the Tang army captain who was responsible for leading the cavalry to conduct reconnaissance, destruction, and collecting intelligence in the front, returned to prevent the Tang army generals from giving orders to attack.
The Tang army general frowned and slightly dissatisfied.
He can win as long as he launches an attack, and there is no need to stay for more.
The Tang Army Captain reported to the chief general: "The subordinates captured an opponent's military general alive. From his mouth, they learned that these Hu people knew that they were not opponents of our Anxi Protectorate, so they asked for reinforcements from a powerful force nearby. These Hu people used 500 kilograms of jewelry, a large amount of food and grass, and beauties to please that force. The subordinates were afraid that the reinforcements from the other party were already on the way, so they came to inform the general and asked the general to withdraw in time!"
The Tang army commander frowned even tighter.
In the Western Regions, few forces dared to openly support the city-states that were attacked by the Anxi Protectorate, and this force dared to take the initiative to send troops to reinforce the Tang army's enemies, which shows that the other party is of great origin.
"But you ask clearly who is the king of this force? Where does it come from?"
"In a hurry, I will have limited understanding of it. To be precise, our Anxi Protectorate's understanding of this area is basically close to nothing. But the prisoners claimed that this force seemed to come from a more distant place. Just in case, please return to our sphere of influence for a while."
"I see."
The chief general of the Tang army weighed the gains and losses. The 70,000 Hu people in front of him were not the opponent of his more than 10,000 Tang army, but if the reinforcements invited by these Hu people were included, the result would be unpredictable.
In a more western place, there is not a lack of power that can compete with the Tang army.
For example...
"The Great Food Country."
The Tang army commander did not forget the enemy who once suffered losses.
"retreat."
After carefully weighing the pros and cons of the Tang army, the chief general chose to withdraw his troops voluntarily.
To be continued...
