On the contrary, the Jizhou Army only has 30,000 cavalry from the Shanshan Guards and 50,000 barbarian cavalry, plus the 10,000 cavalry that can be found in the First and Second Field Armies. The combined number is only 90,000, not even 100,000.
Apart from this, the only other ones that can fight are the 10,000 infantrymen of the Tiger Guards, plus the nearly 50,000 infantrymen of the First and Second Field Armies. As for the 100,000 reserve troops, if they are allowed to fight against the infantry, they will still be able to perform.
The opportunity, if it were the Beidi cavalry fighting against, would be a bit unsatisfactory.
At this moment, the strength of both parties was reversed, and Tang Ao's eyebrows knitted together tightly because of this.
Ordinarily, many people have different opinions on sending troops to Beidi this time. How could Tang Ao not know that the opportunity now is not the best. Beidi is still very strong, and even if they are enemies, they may win.
It was a disastrous victory, but if we don't do well, a defeat is not impossible.
If we wait a few years until the Jizhou Army gets more benefits from Beidi, then the chance of taking action will increase by at least 30%. But can Tang Ao really wait any longer?
Now the Central Plains and the South have become integrated, and Japan, South Vietnam, and the Huns have all joined in. Will those so-called Ganren vassal kings who control the power of a place be their opponents?
If he failed, what would happen if the aliens took over the place and killed the people? He was afraid that he would not dare to think about it, so Tang Ao had to speed up his march south. Under no circumstances should the aliens be allowed to show off their power in the land of China.
In this way, it is very necessary to solve Beidi's worries. Otherwise, once Tang Ao leads his army south and Beidi stabs him in the back, the consequences will be unacceptable to him.
Thinking of this, Beidi must be destroyed, and Tang Ao's eyes became firm. "Send the order, leave the necessary troops to guard outside Muji City, and everyone else will go to Ala Mountain. Beidi does not want to fight us.
? Then we will do as they wish. Don’t think that because the opponent has a large number of cavalry, we are really afraid of him. From the establishment of the Jizhou Army to today, we have never had a numerical advantage in any battle, but the final winner is still not
Us?"
After saying these words as if to encourage him, Tang Ao said in a slower voice: "Taking a step back, even if we are defeated, there are still six places in Jizhou behind us, and it won't take long to reorganize them.
A powerful army is coming. But what does Beidi have? This time they have already fought with all their clans. Even if we give them time, they have no ability to increase their strength. Therefore, in the battle with Beidi, the final winner will definitely be us.
"
The sonorous and powerful voice resounded in the big tent, and all the staff members' eyes gleamed, and then they lowered their heads and began to calculate how many men and horses should be left to besiege Muji City.
In Muji City, He Suihuan did not know what was happening outside. After the Beidi King decided to send troops to Alashan and not send reinforcements here, Tang Ao ordered a siege of the city and no longer allowed anyone to enter or leave the city. This also cut off their relationship with the city.
All connections with the outside world.
The ignorant are fearless.
Precisely because he didn't know what was going on outside, He Suihuan was in a good mood inside the city. He was just waiting for the king to send troops to save him, and then they could fight out.
As for breaking out of the encirclement early, that is absolutely impossible. Think about what happened to the 40,000 troops sent before. If you don’t remember it once, won’t you remember it twice?
Because of this, when the main force of the Jizhou Army passed by both sides of Muji City, they didn't pay much attention.
Naturally, Tang Ao ordered the army to leave at night, and the artillery bombardment continued, so that there was no one on the tower. Even if someone heard the footsteps of the army walking by the side of the city, they didn't take it seriously.
In their opinion, as long as the Jizhou Army does not attack the city, it is a good thing. As for the outside, it does not matter if it is turned upside down.
This time, Tang Ao left an artillery regiment, 50,000 reserves, and the Sixth Regiment of Shaking Mountain Guards Flying Dragons outside Muji City. If they were to counterattack, at least they would not be without the power to fight back. Afterwards, Tang Ao took hundreds of thousands of troops with him.
The army and hundreds of thousands of civilians passed through Muji City and headed straight for Ala Mountain.
Apart from food, the most common thing transported by civilians is bows and arrows. Originally, the military strength is not as good as that of people. Of course, the more weapons and equipment, the better. This is also a way to bring the strength of both sides closer.
The news that the main force of the Jizhou Army had abandoned Muji City and headed straight for Ala Mountain was soon known to Beidi's Ye Bushou, and the report reached the ears of Beidi King Yi Quxiao.
"Your Majesty, please send a border army to find a way to break into Muji City to report the news. When the time comes, attack from both sides, you can cut off the Jizhou Army's retreat. Victory is expected." After Gongsun Wen learned the news, he came there
Yi Quxiao had an idea in front of him.
"Yes, someone is here to notify Xu Ba and ask him to take five thousand cavalry to take a small road to Muji City, find a way to contact He Suihuan in Muji City, and ask them to come out of the city and attack the Jizhou Army from both sides with us." Yi Quxiao agreed very much.
Nodding his head.
"Your Majesty, not only that, we should also send cavalry to ambush halfway. This time, the Jizhou Army has a lot of infantry, especially they also have chariot battalions. That kind of iron shell is very troublesome. If we can
If we destroy it, it will be more beneficial to us in the next war. By the way, this matter can be left to the Chengjia."
"Okay, let the elder of the Cheng family handle this matter." Nodding, Yi Quxiao handed the matter over to the Cheng family.
Chengjia was the first person to do business with Tang Ao. Speaking of relationships, the relationship between them was the deepest. This not only made the Gongsun family and the Yiqu family jealous, but also made them jealous. Now there is an opportunity for both of them to fight.
Together, of course we will do our best to make it happen.
So, soon the head of the Cheng family, Cheng Si Tuo, received the order from the king. With a sigh, he knew that the two-faced thing could not be done, so he called his younger brother Cheng Gaishan, his son Cheng Bat and his nephew Cheng Zuo Fu.
, discuss with them who should be sent.
"Elder of the clan, do we have to go to war with Jizhou?" The fat Cheng Zuofu said reluctantly. Looking carefully, he seemed to be fatter than before.
"Now King Ji is going to destroy our entire Beidi." Cheng Situo shook his head. He still valued this nephew very much, especially his business ability. In the past few years, he has really helped the Cheng family.
A lot of effort has been put into its growth.
It's just that different ways don't work together, and some things are not based on personal ideas.
"Well, even if that's the case, we have to complete this task well so that everyone knows our determination to oppose the Jizhou Army. It's better to let the child lead the people there in person." Chengbaat stood up.
As the next successor to the clan elder, Bart is also an ambitious person. He has always thought about how to strengthen the Cheng family. He has also thought about how to destroy enemies from all directions on the battlefield and become a true hero.
It's just that there was no such opportunity before. Now that the opportunity has appeared, Chengbat certainly wants to seize it.
Naturally, the son's thoughts could not escape the discernment of Lao Tzu Cheng Si Tuo, but he had no intention of stopping it. The young eagle always has to fly into the sky and not be afraid of the wind and snow to become an eagle. "Okay, that's it, you
Go with Jiu She, but remember, listen to Jiu She and don't be willful."
Jiu She is a warrior of the Cheng family, and has extraordinary talent in commanding troops. Let this man go with his son, and Cheng Si Tuo can feel relieved.
Finally able to lead the troops, Chengbaat was so excited that he walked out of the tent to find Jiu She, ordered 10,000 cavalry and left the main camp.
Although the Beidi Army has lost 15,000 men in this short time, there are still nearly 220,000 men left, which is still much stronger than the 190,000 troops led by Tang Ao.
More importantly, Beidi are all cavalry, and their combat effectiveness is also very powerful.
At this time, the vanguard of the Jizhou Army had already rushed towards Alashan, less than a hundred miles away from where the Beidi Army was camping. They were all cavalry, and their designations were five regiments of Shanshan Guards and 50,000 Barbarian Cavalry.
people.
In other words, the really powerful cavalry of the Jizhou Army came over as vanguards, and only the light cavalry of more than 10,000 field armies were left in the infantry marching team. In comparison, the same cavalry, the combat effectiveness of these cavalry
Compared with the Shanshan Guard and Barbarian Cavalry, it is far behind.
One day later, the vanguard cavalry of the Jizhou Army arrived at the foot of Ala Mountain and began to set up camp here, confronting the Beidi Camp ten miles away. But their main infantry was still more than a hundred miles away.
But just over a hundred miles away, there is a place called Feishan Pass. There are a full 10,000 Beidi elite cavalry hidden in the dense forests on both sides.
Cheng Teba was among them, and beside him stood a man who was over seven feet tall but thin.
Don't underestimate this person just because he looks very different from Zhuang. He is Jiu She, one of the most powerful warriors of the Cheng family.
This time, Cheng Situo was able to safely let his son come here to attack the Jizhou Army because Jiu She helped steer the ship. But he didn't know that when he actually left the Beidi camp, Jiu She's right to speak would be taken away.
snatch away.
In this era of clear hierarchies, Chengba is the next head of the Cheng family. It is easy to imagine his high status. Although Jiu She has good abilities, his status is far behind. When Chengba is here
Once you have an attitude towards one thing, others will have no choice but to obey.
After walking out of Beidi Camp, although there were some detours along the way, they still arrived at Feishan Pass in the afternoon, where they saw the arrival of the Jizhou Infantry Army.
Seeing the target appearing, Bart's excited face flushed, and he knew that his chance to make a name for himself had come. Think about it, if this time because of his own reasons, the Jizhou Army's center formation was broken, and the Jizhou Army had to withdraw from Beidi.
Who dared to underestimate him at that time? Who didn't treat him as a hero?
