On the second day, under the originally suppressed Pianguan City, both the Wumeng and Xixia Kingdoms moved.
Just yesterday, shortly after the battle between the Xuanyu Sect's ten soldiers and the Iron Sword Gate ended, the armies of Wumeng and Xixia quietly gathered at the foot of Pianguan City that night. At the darkest moment of dawn, they launched a counterattack against Pianguan.
attack.
When Kang Long, who was sleeping sweetly, was awakened by the sound of horns and fighting, the battle under Pianguan City also entered a fever pitch.
On the east side of the river, because they have been confronting the armies of Wumeng and Xixia in Pianguan City for many days, a group of rural soldiers and civilians were mobilized from nearby prefectures and counties to defend the city. At this time, although they were facing the army of Wumeng and Xixia,
The 30,000-strong army and the 20,000-strong army of Xixia Kingdom did not show much panic.
For a famous general like Yang Ye, who always controls the news on the battlefield, as a commander, he will never ignore the news. Therefore, when Wumeng Kingdom and Xixia Kingdom launched a key battle against Pianguan before dawn, there was no
Showing panic.
There are far more than 8,000 elite troops stationed in Hedong here. In addition to the 10,000 rural troops and 18,000 civilians who have just been transferred, it is not difficult to defend Pianguan.
The horns of the attack kept blowing. Pianguan City was a dangerous pass sandwiched in the Luliang Mountains. The terrain outside the city was like a trumpet. The trumpet was facing the basin under the pass, and to the northwest was the Great Wasteland and Wumeng Plateau.
There are several low mountains adjacent to each other, neither high nor low.
If you want to break through this trumpet mouth and enter the fertile Hedong area, you must conquer Pianguan. Pianguan is like the mouth of a giant beast guarding the gap between the vast and fertile Hedong and the great wilderness.
Although Luliang Mountain is not that big of a mountain, the entire mountain is endless, with undulating terrain and intricate rocks that make it impossible to cross.
Kang Long rubbed his sleepy eyes. He talked with the leader of the Iron Sword Sect very late last night, which made him understand many secrets about the demon clan. At this moment, he finally had a clearer understanding of the entire world situation.
"How is the war going at Pianguan City?" Ma Benlei and a group of elites from the Mad Wolf Special Forces who followed Kang Long arrived, and they all looked at the flames in Pianguan City with solemn expressions.
The shouts of killing were like a tide, spreading in all directions, reminding people all the time that a war was taking place there.
One of the main tasks of the Mad Wolf Special Operations Corps is to always pay attention to all movements within a ten-mile radius. Seeing them all standing here at this time, they obviously have a clear understanding of the current situation.
A special soldier replied respectfully: "Replying to my lord, Wumeng Kingdom and Xixia Kingdom each invested 10,000 troops to attack the city. Although they chose to attack the city at dawn, Pianguan City seemed to have been prepared for it, and they did not
Although we achieved effective results, we lost nearly a thousand troops in just one hour."
Kang Long was not surprised. Yang Ye was in command of Pianguan City at this time. It would be strange if Wumeng and Xixia Kingdom could easily capture Pianguan.
Wumeng Kingdom and Xixia Kingdom originally planned to carry out a surprise attack, but they did not expect that the other party was already prepared, and it did not have the effect of a surprise attack at all.
The reason why the two countries chose to attack Pianguan at this time must be because they already knew what happened in Hedong. The envoy sent by Wumeng State, Prince Wumeng who was captured by Kanglong, has not returned yet, but the rest
The people who followed them on their mission to Hedong survived and reported the truth about Prince Wumeng's capture and disappearance.
Such news naturally made Wumeng Iron Cavalry, who had been depressed for many days, even more angry.
The battle continued, and I don't know what Wumeng and Xixia were thinking, and they actually took action against Hedong at this time.
There was no suspense about the outcome of this siege, and it was over at almost noon. After leaving nearly 3,000 casualties, the two countries withdrew to their respective camps. This time the two countries joined forces to attack Hedong.
It was something that had been planned for a long time. But what was disappointing was that in the first battle there was such a surprising competition between masters.
However, the loss of nearly 3,000 men from Wumeng and Xixia was not in vain. This battle not only consumed a large amount of the inventory of defensive weapons in Pianguan City, but also lost a lot of fresh troops.
In front of Pianguan City, where a dull atmosphere lingered, the sky seemed to have lost its color because of this battle. It was gray and made people feel very depressed.
At this time, it is probably impossible for the five thousand men and ten thousand horses in Ten Thousand Horses City to enter Hedong from here and join the Shenwu Army entrenched in Liaozhou.
In the Chinese army's tent, Kang Long and the lord of Wanma City, Ma Benlei's eldest brother Ma Xingyun, tentatively concluded an alliance agreement. Ma Benlei didn't know what to say about this. According to his intention, Wanma City directly
Just merge into the Shenwu Army. It would be too troublesome to form an alliance.
After all, in Ma Benlei's view, Kang Long is not an outsider. After all, Kang Long is one of his own. Let's not talk about the two of them becoming brothers of the opposite sex. He is already his quasi-brother-in-law.
Regarding the prospective son-in-law of Ma Cheng, there is no need for the two parties to form an alliance, they can just merge into one place.
However, after all, this matter still has to be decided by Ma Xingyun, the lord of Ten Thousand Horses City. Of course, behind Ten Thousand Horses City, there is also a master-level master "Iron Horse" Ma Tengkong, so when Ma Xingyun and Kang Long finished drinking the blood wine, Ma Tengkong
Ben Lei had no choice but to stiffen his neck and swallowed what he originally wanted to say.
The mortal enemy of Wanma City is the Daliao Kingdom, but the location of Wanma City is too special. It is located in the west of the Great Wasteland, near the middle reaches of the Zhuolang River. To the west is the Western Region of the vast sea of dead sand, and to the east is better.
It is a desolate Gobi Desert, with the Wumeng Kingdom to the north and the Xixia Kingdom to the south. It is also a place of the Four War in the northwest border, but it is such a place of the Four War, in the future, it is very likely to
It became the frontier of the war between humans and demons.
According to Kang Long's thinking, it is not suitable to incorporate Ten Thousand Horses City into his sphere of influence at the moment. His current power is not enough to be at the forefront.
It is conceivable that once the demons cross the Death Sand Sea and officially enter the great wilderness, Ten Thousand Horses City will definitely become the headquarters of the alliance of princes where all forces of the human race gather.
I really don’t know how the "Iron Horse" Ma Tengkong feels when he is in Ten Thousand Horses City. If he had known that Ten Thousand Horses City would become such a frontier battlefield sooner or later, would he have chosen to build a fort under the Helan Mountain in the wilderness?
.
After a secret discussion between Kang Long, Ma Xingyun and others, they agreed on some specific matters and decided that the Wanma City Department would return to Wanma City via the original route. However, before returning, Kang Long proposed that Ma Xingyun take the Wanma City with him.
They were sold to Wumeng and Xixia Kingdoms due to the situation.
If these horses were brought back to the City of Ten Thousand Horses, not to mention the consumption would be a terrifying figure, but it would be very troublesome to prevent people from attacking them.
Selling these horses to Wumeng and Xixia can not only avoid unnecessary consumption, but also exchange for a lot of money and materials. Furthermore, although these horses are sold to the two countries, it seems that the two countries
His strength has grown a lot, but the tricks within it are very hidden.
Wumeng, why did Xixia and Xixia attack Pianguan? Of course they coveted the fertile land east of the river, but facing such a majestic pass as Pianguan, the cavalry could not play any role. If they wanted to attack Pianguan, they had to rely on infantry.
.
Wumeng and Xixia were countries that grew up on horses and had a fanatical and paranoid love for war horses. Even before Kang Long arrived, the two countries had sent envoys to contact Ma Xingyun more than once to express their desire to
Purchase these war horses. Since the cavalry cannot play a role in the current war situation, these war horses are sold into the hands of the two countries, but they will not play any substantial role. They can also take the opportunity to consume a large amount of food and grass from both sides and solve the problem.
Wanma City has incurred a lot of consumption due to the sale of these war horses, so why not do it.
What Kanglong needs now is time. If Xixia, Wumeng and Mongolia quickly capture the Pianguan and enter Hedong, then the battlefield in Hedong will be their world, and there will be no room for the Shenwu Army, which is mainly infantry.
?
Instead of doing this, it is better to let the three parties spend their time in Pianguan for the time being, so as to give him more time to attack Taiyuan City. Once Taiyuan City is captured, the rest of the matter will be easier to handle.
As long as the war between the three parties can be delayed until Taiyuan City is captured, Kang Long will have a lot of time to consolidate his power and territory. At that time, Wumeng and Xixia may no longer have the intention to attack Pianguan.
The leading army of the demons will probably enter the wilderness at that time. By then, Wumeng, Ten Thousand Horses City, and Xixia will all be the front lines of the war between humans and demons. How can the two countries have time to occupy Hedong?
?
However, what puzzled Kang Long was that the two countries didn't know what they were thinking. The demon army was about to attack their doorstep. If they didn't go back quickly to set up defenses, they would still have time to attack Hedong.
Do they think that Hedong is an excellent defensive place and want to capture Hedong and abandon their own country before the war between humans and demons begins? This is really a crazy idea.
After Kang Long and Ma Xingyun discussed the next step, they agreed to send troops to Wanma City after taking Hedong, preparing to make all preparations before the war between humans and demons, and gain unparalleled achievements before this great opportunity.
.
That night, another group of mysterious Iron Sword Sect masters came outside the Ten Thousand Horse City camp. Kang Long led his men and everyone from the Iron Sword Sect, heading south along Luliang Mountain and detouring back to Liaozhou, Hedong.
Ma Xingyun also contacted the armies of Wumeng and Xixia that night. The three parties talked all night in the Ten Thousand Horse City camp. On the next day, all 10,000 war horses were bought by people from the two countries.
Only they themselves know how much the two countries bought, but the people in Ten Thousand Horses City breathed a sigh of relief, escorted a large amount of gold and silver supplies obtained from the horse trade, and broke camp directly back to Ten Thousand Horses City.
Wumeng and Xixia were extremely happy to have obtained this batch of excellent war horses, and they started their great siege with even higher morale.
