When Tiance's army was rushing north on the official road, Daqian also had an army heading north.
Twenty thousand Dingbei troops, one man and three horses, were divided into ten groups of cavalry. Like a comb, they were drawn northward at intervals of ten miles.
At the same time, the Jiuhu Tianlang Cavalry and the Ross Slave Army, who had just come out of Langyan Mountain, could no longer see the ambition and ambition that they had when they were strong.
Among the Daqian army, the frontier army and the North and South Yamen Imperial Army were the most powerful, followed by the garrison of the Dudu Mansion, and the weakest were the various Xiang armies.
As the army of the Dingbei Governor's Palace, the Dingbei Army is essentially a garrison army, although it was derived from the Anbei Army of the Anbei Governor's Palace.
However, the elite of the Anbei Army were transferred to the other three border armies or the North and South Yamen Forbidden Army more than a year ago.
Therefore, the armaments and combat effectiveness of the Dingbei Army were not as strong as imagined.
However, such a newly established garrison that was less than two years old caused the Jiuhu Sirius Cavalry and the Ross Slave Army to break their teeth in the Sandao Valley.
The 60,000 Dingbei troops resisted for three days at Zuowuguan, Beidingguan, and Youweiguan. Unable to do anything, they withdrew to both sides of the valley in the south.
In the three-day siege battle, the 100,000 Russian slave troops killed more than 30,000 people. The Nine-Hu Sirius Cavalry who assisted in the attack left four to five thousand corpses at each pass.
Later, facing nearly 30,000 Dingbei troops on both sides of the valley, the Ross slave army relied on their yearning for freedom and wealth to rob the Dingbei army one by one from the top of the mountain.
For three whole days, no Dingbei army chose to escape.
The Ross slave army was tired of attacking, so Jiuhu Sirius dismounted and fought on foot.
In three days and nights, 250,000 coalition troops wiped out the remaining nearly 30,000 Dingbei troops from Langyan Mountain.
After walking out of the mountain pass, only 40,000 of the 100,000 slave army were left when setting off, and 130,000 of the 150,000 Sirius Cavalry were left.
Many of the 60,000 Dingbei Army had never fought in a war. Many of them were from the garrison and had not been polished by Zhechong Mansion for two years. Many of the Dingbei Army were still playing with hoes in the fields two years ago, that is, in winter. Training lasts for one month.
But at the end of October in the 11th year of Longsheng, they and the invading enemy troops fought for six days all over the mountains and plains in Langyan Mountain.
The Jiuhu people and the Ross slaves obviously had no intention of collecting the corpse.
They already looked down upon the leather armor worn by the Dingbei Army. With the support of the entire Rus' Kingdom, all members of the Rus' Slave Army were wearing half-length armor, and the Nine-Hu Sirius Cavalry were all wearing iron-inlaid leather armor.
They didn't care at all about the large-style leather armor worn by the Dingbei army. They just took away some horizontal knives, spears, and crossbows without gaps or cracks.
The Jiuhu people were used to using their own bent bows, and maybe Daqian's crossbows were better, but they didn't have time to get familiar with them, so they gave all the bows and arrows they collected to the Ross slave army. At the same time, the two armies also searched Dingbei. Gold, silver and copper coins in military clothing.
The Ross slave army wearing half-body armor had received a supply of powerful weapons, but not many arrows could be used, so each person was given a pot.
In this battle, as the victors, the Jiuhu Sirius Cavalry and the Ross slave army are qualified to clean the battlefield, just like Daqian is qualified to accept the entire grassland left by the Jiuhu people.
This world is always cruel reality.
War is the robbery of one group against another group.
Land, population, wealth, everything is up for grabs.
The initiators of war always have their own just reasons for launching wars.
In the valley, the corpses of the Jiuhu Sirius Cavalry, the Ross Slave Army, and the Da Qian Ding Bei Army were scattered all over the valley.
After the crazy Ross slave army received the promise from the leading knight, the breath of freedom and the temptation of wealth made these slaves who were slaves a year ago, hungry all day long and doing heavy labor full of yearning for war.
However, the Nine-Hu Sirius Cavalry and the Ross Slave Army chose to repair after walking out of the mountain pass. After opening up the Langyan Mountain Passage, they had already sent the good news back to Duke Lviv's castle.
According to what Duke Lviv emphasized many times before arriving, they began to wait for Duke Lviv's arrival here.
"Viscount Henry, Count Christian, my army has opened the passage to the Langyan Mountains. I wonder if your army is willing to join my expedition." Duke Lvov took a sip of wine from the silver wine glass.
The country of Rus is a third-level country of nobles, civilians, and slaves. After Duke Lvov was defeated two years ago, he asked people to search for many books about that empire. He hired caravans with high salaries to be translators for him. His profound knowledge continued to impact him.
The thoughts of Prince Lvov.
Duke Lviv did not study this new knowledge behind closed doors. He liked innovation, but the damn old king always denied his reforms.
Now that he has his own territory, he can start trying to do what he wants to do.
For example, the Jiuhu people tentatively gave a batch of gold and silver, and he generously handed over one-fifth of his territory to the Jiuhu people, at the northern foot of the Langyan Mountains, which could be used as a barrier for his territory, and he also had gold.
Yin bought from other nobles all the people and things needed for the development of his own territory. This is called driving away wolves and devouring tigers and killing lips and teeth.
Two hundred and fifty thousand slaves, promising them a free civilian status, within one year he obtained an army of 150,000 slaves and a hundred thousand dedicated guards.
The resources of other territories have also turned our territory into the most prosperous territory in the Kingdom of Ross.
The current King of Ross is his brother Alex. As the second prince of the kingdom, he originally had a chance to become the king, but after the damn Earl Brant returned from a trip to Daqian, the old king handed over the throne to him.
Alex.
After becoming stronger, Duke Lvov did not fail to consider seizing the throne of the king, but the Dagan people have a good saying: "Brothers live outside the wall to resist their insults."
He thought that the nobles who sold him materials and slaves might have already joined forces and were waiting for him to launch an attack on the royal court.
Then, with a gentle push, the rule of the Ross family became history, and the entire Ross family would be written down as violent and cruel butchers, just like the Ross family treated the Jackson family, and the truths in Daqian's books were as brilliant as stars.
Why don’t the Kingdom of Rus have these books and people who have written so many great principles?
Duke Lvov was puzzled and could only explain it with Nan Zhi Bei Ju. Maybe the land here could not produce such an outstanding person.
Then he, Duke Lvov, has no shirk. Even if he has to face the country that has given him nightmares for more than three months, he still has to conquer a piece of land. He also wants the Kingdom of Rus to have land that can grow talents.
The territories of Viscount Henry and Count Christian are just west of Duke Lviv's territory.
Their land is barren and has few products, but the people born in the barren land are not only poor but also brave and fearless warriors.
"Happy cooperation! Duke Lvov, Viscount Henry."
"Happy cooperation! Prince Lvov. Count Brant."
"Happy cooperation! Viscount Henry, Earl Brant."
…
Duke Lvov, Viscount Henry, and Earl Brant raised their glasses. Duke Lvov said that this bottle of wine in precious porcelain comes from the southern capital, and its name is wine made from a hundred kinds of fruits.
Take one sip, and it's like the flavors of hundreds of fruits are intertwined in your mouth. It's a much more wonderful experience than craft wine. After swallowing, a stream of heat rushes from the stomach to the throat, all year round.
The Kingdom of Rus, which is a land of snow half the time, does not have this kind of wine that is like a gift from the gods.
