Wei Zitong thought for a moment, and pointed on the marching map: "I will choose to retreat into the Yupingtong Gorge, which is not far from Guzhou.

It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, although there is no way out, but except for a narrow passage, the army of the Shengyuan Dynasty cannot find other places to attack, so they can only choose a small range of short-handed troops, with geographical advantages, I am afraid they will not be able to please anything better.

Moreover, the geographical location of this valley is just right, not far from Guzhou City, and the Dong people can send reinforcements through Guzhou City at any time to flank the army of the Shengyuan Dynasty before and after.

I heard that the ancient city of the Dong people is almost a city suspended in the air, and almost all around it are cliffs.

Without a familiar guide to lead the way, I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter Guzhou alone, not to mention tens of thousands of troops, it should be difficult for the army of the Shengyuan Dynasty to capture this place.

What's more, if they want to attack Guzhou City, they must first pass through the Liping Walled City. Although the number of people in this walled city is small, it is also dangerous, as long as it can hold out for a while.

At that time, the Dong warriors who retreated to Yupingtong killed from behind, and the situation of the dynasty's army was not good.

Besides, within a week, our army will be able to arrive, and when the time comes, we will be able to flank the dynastic army with the Dong people on both sides, and they will have to retreat.

"Zitong, if the 60,000 troops in southern Xinjiang are completely annihilated, will we be able to completely block the route of the Shengyuan Dynasty to attack Guzhou when we enter the Liping Walled City?"

"Childe, it is impossible for an army of 60,000 to be completely annihilated. ”

"What if?"

Wei Zitong frowned and said: "In case it is really annihilated, then we will hold the Liping Walled City, and if the army of the dynasty wants to attack Guzhou City, it must go south to bypass the Rongjiang River."

It was the way to cross the river, and it could be attacked by us and the Maonan people on the other side at any time, so I really don't understand why the dynasty chose this direction to attack the southern Xinjiang road this time. ”

Xu Fusheng pondered for a long time, and he didn't say a word, and Wei Zitong also waited quietly.

He didn't know what Childe was thinking, but he believed that it wouldn't be a trivial matter, otherwise he wouldn't have to think about it for so long.

After a long time, Xu Fusheng gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Okay! Our target this time is the Liping Walled City!"

At this time, it was already late at night, and Wei Zitong was just about to leave, Xu Fusheng got up and stopped him.

Xu Fusheng hesitated for a moment before he said, "Zitong, my order, no matter what it is, no matter how difficult it is to accept, will you carry it out?"

Wei Zitong paused for a moment and said, "Of course, Gongzi, you are the commander of the first batch of reinforcements in Southern Xinjiang, and I am just a general under you." Any of your orders, of course, I will carry out. ”

"That's good!" Xu Fuchang exhaled and continued, "Zitong, can you guarantee that you will obey my orders unconditionally?"

Wei Zitong felt that today's son was a little strange, but he was still a soldier by nature and said solemnly: "I swear, in the name of God, I will definitely carry out your orders unconditionally." ”

Xu Fusheng was relieved and said with a smile: "Very good, you go to rest early, tomorrow's march will be very hard." ”

In this war, Wei Zitong will become the key, Xu Fusheng is betting heavily in this war, so he has to emphasize it again and again.

Wei Zitong's past and the honor of Xuanshuang Heavy Cavalry made him always a soldier with a sense of justice in his heart, and everything Xu Fusheng did was almost not compatible with Zhengda Guangming at all, so he couldn't help but worry.

But at this moment, the arrow is already on the string, not at all

The possibility of turning back.

In the early morning of the next day, the gates of Bora were opened, and a thousand forwards rode out of the city first.

Led by the Dong warriors, they will first go to the next camp to prepare for the arrival of the army.

After an hour, the 20,000 law enforcement teams led by Xu Fusheng and the 30,000 directly subordinate troops sent by the king of southern Xinjiang were drawn one after another.

The elder of the Dong tribe had already left the city early in the morning, waiting for the divine envoy on the side of the road. Although he was ostensibly afraid of delaying time, in fact, everyone knew that he wanted to take the opportunity to take a look at the appearance of the army.

He was still quite disdainful when he first saw Wei Zitong's more than 10,000 recruits, but when the eight hundred shadow guards and two thousand light horsemen of the Divine Envoy Guard appeared, he put away his contempt.

When Xu Fusheng came out of the city under the heavy cavalry of the two hundred southern frontier guards and the eight hundred Nasu tribe warriors, the cold sweat on Horn's forehead came down again, and it was the first time he had seen such a murderous army.

Horn had been in power for many years, and when his gaze swept over the cavalry that had been heavily ridden by the original Xuanshuang, he was stunned for a full minute before he came back to his senses.

And although he didn't know the skills and specialties of the warriors of the Eight Hundred Nasu tribe, just looking at the heavy armor on their bodies and the murderous aura emanating from their bodies, he couldn't help but think of those demons on the battlefield and the cold-blooded warriors known as butchers.

When Horn's gaze fell on a man and a woman behind Xu Fusheng, his eyelids couldn't help but tremble. It's not that he hasn't seen handsome guys and beautiful women, but that the man looks too weird, and what is even more terrifying is that his eyes are as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

As for the woman, she was wearing a unique southern Xinjiang shaman costume, cold and gorgeous. Neither of them carried any weapons on them, but under such a murderous army, that calm and calm judgment was not something ordinary people could have.

The last to leave the city were nearly a hundred horse-loaded wagons, all of which were tightly covered, and they did not know what was inside.

Seeing Horn waiting, Xu Fusheng rode over and asked with a smile: "General Horn, look, can my subordinates still look at the past?"

"Lord Divine Envoy, although in my southern Xinjiang, everyone can become a warrior with a weapon, but this is the first time I have seen such a strong warrior and such an elite heavy horse......!

Xu Fusheng smiled: "General Horn, as the patriarch of the Dong clan, there will be no shortage of beauties in the house, right?"

"I have been in the Dong tribe for decades, and I am soft-spoken, although there are a few women in the family, even if they are combined, they can't be compared with your guards!"

Xu Fusheng looked at the army advancing through the fish, and said lightly: "General Horn, no, I should call you General Ula."

You are actually a brother to the patriarch of the Dong tribe, and you have always controlled the wealth and intelligence network of the entire Dong people, and if you lack beauties under your command, then I am the first to disbelieve it. ”

Horn's face changed greatly, cold sweat rolled down his forehead, and he barely said for a long time: "Lord Divine Envoy, you are really powerful, it seems that you can't hide anything from you." ”

Xu Fusheng smiled and said: "Actually, these are not important, after defeating the Shengyuan Dynasty, you will have to take me again, right?

Horn hurriedly said: "How is this possible? Our Dong people will never do such a thing! Not to mention that the prince will not let us do this." ”

Xu Fusheng stared at Horn, his sharp gaze was like substance, and it seemed to be staring directly at his heart. Hornhouse

Ran could barely laugh, but the smile was really ugly.

Xu Fusheng nodded, retracted his gaze, and said, "General Horn, you have a good set of wealth development and maintenance intelligence network, and it can be seen that you are very talented.

It's a pity that your brother doesn't seem to see your ability, otherwise with your contribution to the Dong people, I am afraid that you would have become a great elder or patriarch a long time ago. ”

Horn said, "Your Excellency, you have surprised me more and more. It's just that people like us can't enjoy too much glory in the sun. To be fair, everything that the Dong people have given me is enough to compensate me for my merits. ”

Xu Fusheng smiled indifferently and said: "Southern Xinjiang advocates bright and upright, brave and strong soldiers, so the status of those who do your work is not high.

But I'm different, in my eyes, the intelligence network and the underworld are no less important than the most powerful warriors in my hands.

After evaluating the entire Dong people, I found that your talent is extraordinary. Although you are far less skilled at running your wealth and intelligence network than I am, it is the reason why you have so few people at your disposal who can be used.

I think you know better than I do what to do with people like you, and there's still plenty of time for you to think about it. ”

With that, Xu Fusheng galloped forward, leaving Horn in place.

"What can I do with someone like me? Hey, if it can't be used for you, then you can only kill, alas!" Horn smiled wryly, looking a little older.

After several days of marching, the army finally entered the city of Liping. At this moment, more than 60,000 people are facing off against the army of the 80,000 Shengyuan Dynasty in Jinping Mountain, and a series of small-scale battles have taken place between the two sides, and each other has won and lost.

Neither general was sure of victory and was still waiting for reinforcements, so these battles were just a test of the opponent's weakness.

Thousands of warriors on the Dong border have been scattered, and more than 20,000 Shengyuan Dynasty troops are rushing to Jinping Mountain with all their might, and they will arrive in three or four days.

But the situation seems to be more favorable for the fighters in southern Xinjiang.

The 60,000-strong army led by Xu Fusheng had already arrived at the Liping Walled City, which was only two days away from the main battlefield.

Behind Xu Fusheng, the newly recruited 20,000 reserve soldiers of the Dong nationality are being assembled, while the black Qiang iron cavalry of the Qiang nationality, the wolf soldiers of the Zhuang nationality, and the 50,000 main forces composed of various ethnic groups are close to resting and can rush to the Liping walled city within a week.

Another 20,000 elite Yi warriors are preparing to cross the territory of the Maonan tribe in the east and join the 10,000 troops of the Maonan tribe to outflank the back road of the Shengyuan Dynasty's army.

Since the army of the Shengyuan Dynasty dared to go deep alone and face the enemy army with numerical superiority alone, then according to the heroic tradition of southern Xinjiang, the army of the 100,000 Shengyuan Dynasty should not think of returning to the north.

The Liping Walled City was originally home to a tribe of the Dong people, but due to its location in the hinterland and inconvenient transportation, many people began to migrate to Guzhou, resulting in this extremely desolate city.

This time, due to the invasion of the army of the Shengyuan Dynasty, this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack city was immediately given unparalleled attention, and various war materials and military rations were transported one after another.

All the supplies and military rations will be transferred from the Liping Walled City and distributed to the warriors of southern Xinjiang on all fronts, which is a war that will recreate the courage of southern Xinjiang.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, they must let the invincible army of the Shengyuan Dynasty return here in vain as they did twenty years ago, this is the glory that the people of Southern Xinjiang have held on to for twenty years!
