The 100,000-strong army of the Black Mule Legion led by Xue He and Jiang Lan'er was originally in the southwest area of the ancient city of Yelan, the capital of Jiguo, in order to assist Yasukuni in fighting against the Shenjiao army. Later, in order to prevent the Yi army in the territory from further threatening the ancient city of Yelan and invading the eastern part of the Ji Kingdom, the army opened the battle line and deployed troops from the southwest to the northeast.

Yamasuke hurriedly succeeded King Ji, and after taking care of his father's funeral, he immediately joined Xue He's army and personally conquered the battlefield. He took the lead, was brave and fearless, and had outstanding achievements.

Jiang Lan'er praised Shan Suke, "Shan Suke, as soon as you became the king of Ji, you went to the front line to fight, took the lead, took the lead, your spirit is really commendable, and you are definitely a good king." ”

"Sister Lan'er, I deserve it. Look at Brother Ling Xiao, after succeeding King Yu, he didn't stay in Linggang City for a moment, he didn't stop for a moment, he fought in the north and south, his martial arts were strong, and he was powerful in all directions, in comparison, I was really ashamed. Sansuke said, bowing his hand.

"King Ji, didn't you come to help as soon as you recovered from your injuries, don't be ashamed, your personal recruitment is the greatest encouragement to the morale of the whole army. Xue He said.

Since Han Lingxiao led the 200,000 troops of the Black Mule Legion into Jiguo from the central border of the northwest of Xue He's army, Xue He's army immediately divided into two ways to meet Han Lingxiao's army. On the one hand, 20,000 horses were assigned to continue to receive the 20,000 troops of Han Lingxiao's army in the northern region to strengthen the encirclement and garrison in this area. On the other hand, Xue He led the main army to advance westward to cooperate with the military operations of Han Lingxiao's army in the western region.

As a result, Han Lingxiao and Xue He's two lines of soldiers and horses, one north and one south, began to encircle and suppress the invading Yi army on the whole line.

On the day that Han Lingxiao's army captured Mangyuan Valley, Xue He's army rushed to the granite land south of Xilan Valley in time to besiege and collect nearly 20,000 Yi prisoners of war.

After Xue He completed the collection of prisoners of war from the Yi army, he said to Shan Zhu: "King Ji, we continue to garrison in Huagangdi, and King Yu's army will soon fight against the Yi army in the Moli Basin and Xilan Valley, and a large number of Yi troops will flee here. After that, I followed King Yu's army to continue to advance westward, and you and Jiang Lan'er personally led our main army, as well as the captured prisoners of war of the Yi army, to advance eastward. You can start those construction projects that you dream of. ”

When Sansuke heard this, he was immediately full of energy, "National Teacher, I very much agree with your arrangement and deployment, I hope everything goes well." ”

The day after the Battle of Mangyuan Valley, Han Lingxiao's Black Mule Legion's brigade immediately advanced westward towards the Moli Basin.

Mu Zixin and Han Lingxiao both rode on war horses and walked side by side, "Lingxiao, Moli Basin is surrounded by mountains on all sides, although the two exits are relatively wide, they are very tortuous and hidden, and it is very difficult to deploy troops." ”

Han Lingxiao looked at the rugged mountain road ahead, "Well, Mo is more than ten miles in the basin, although it is not big, but the surrounding mountains are rugged, and I can't expect it to be like the battle of Mangyuan Valley, a quick battle." It is estimated that the number of Yi troops here is comparable to that of Mangyuan Valley. After entering from the Mangyuan Valley, our army was still divided into three routes, the left and right flanks and the middle road. In addition, Xue He's army will continue to encircle the fleeing Yi army from the south of Xilan Valley. ”

Mu Zixin looked at the glimmer of heaven between the peaks, listened attentively, and said: "After the battle of the Moli Basin, the strength of the Yi army in the territory of Ji Country should collapse by nearly half, and our army will immediately move south from Xilan Valley, join Xue He's army, and then continue to advance westward. ”

"Well, the encirclement and suppression battle will be extremely difficult in the future, but the day of victory is still just around the corner. Han Lingxiao is full of confidence.

"Our army can build as we fight. The Yijun army has opened up the natural danger in the western part of Jiguo, and our army continues to connect the transportation of Jiguo from west to east and from south to north in Jiguo. In this way, the country of Ji will develop rapidly like the country of Wu. The ancient city of Yelan will become a scholar exchange center in the Xuan Realm. Mu Zixin said longingly.

When Han Lingxiao heard this, he understood and immediately agreed, "Well, therefore, our operational policy for the Yi army is the same as when we fought against the Yi army in Yuguo, and if we can absorb them, we will try to incorporate them as much as possible, and include them in the construction army and become a new force in transforming the appearance of the country." ”

Sure enough, the battle of the Moli Basin was not as quick as the battle of the Mangyuan Valley. However, like the Battle of Mangyuan Valley, the Yi army did not line up to respond to the battle, and about 20,000 people surrendered without a fight, and were immediately absorbed. Another large group of men and horses fled in despair.

Han Lingxiao's army fought fiercely with the Yi army, destroying more than 10,000 enemies and occupying the entire Moli Basin. However, the deserters of the Yi army fled in all directions to the deep mountains and dense forests, which brought great difficulties to the encirclement and suppression.

Han Lingxiao's army set up camp and searched in the surrounding mountains and forests for two days, killing more than 5,000 enemies, capturing more than 10,000 enemies, and more than 10,000 people fled into Xilan Valley.

In this way, Han Lingxiao's army collected more than 30,000 Yi army prisoners of war in the Battle of Moli Basin, plus more than 20,000 Yi soldiers in the Battle of Mangyuan Valley, a total of more than 50,000 Yi army prisoners of war.

In the end, Han Lingxiao decided to leave the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Black Mule Legion to garrison the Moli Basin and Mangyuan Valley, first, to continue to encircle and suppress the fleeing Yi army and guard this area. The second is to reclaim wasteland in this area and improve the irrigation conditions here.

On the third day, Han Lingxiao led the 150,000 troops of the Black Mule Legion and the newly recruited 50,000 prisoners of war of the Yi Army through the Xilan Valley and marched south, destroying more than 3,000 enemies along the way.

As soon as they came out of Xilan Valley, Han Lingxiao's army joined Xue He's army victoriously.

Mu Zixin hugged Jiang Lan'er excitedly, with tears in her eyes, "Sister Lan'er, we have finally met successfully in Huagangdi." ”

"Zixin, you have come from afar, fighting one after another, and you have worked hard!" Jiang Lan'er hugged Mu Zixin and wiped the tears from her face.

Mu Zixin exclaimed, "Sister Lan'er, you and Xue Junshi led the army to fight together, bravely and fearlessly, and have always held their positions, so the ancient city of Yelan is safe and sound, and you are also very hard." ”

Jiang Lan'er was even more admired, "Zixin, I admire you, at a young age, you have been galloping for a long time, and you must have seen something extraordinary." ”

Shanzhu hugged Han Lingxiao, and Shanzhu praised him with all his praise, "Brother Lingxiao, you led the army on an expedition, shocking in all directions, the enemy was terrified, you are the most martial and brave person in the Xuan Realm." ”

"Sansuke, I'm not as powerful as you say, it's the prestige of the Black Mule Legion that makes the enemy defeat without a fight. You and I should work together to develop and expand the Black Mule Legion, and how about you build an invincible army of Black Mule Legion in the territory of Ji Country?"

Shansuke immediately agreed, "Brother Ling Xiao, it's so decided, Ji Guo will immediately establish a powerful army of black mule legions to resist foreign enemies and defend the country, and our army will have your black mule king as the supreme commander." ”

Xue He walked over, Han Lingxiao immediately shook hands with him and hugged him, and then said to Shan Suke: "Your national teacher is the military division of our Black Mule Legion, and now that Wuguo, Yuguo, and Jiguo are the first to unify our army, we will develop and strengthen the Black Mule Legion to a million army, and we will be invincible and invincible." ”

Xue He firmly supported this proposition, "King Yu, as long as we work together, the Black Mule Legion will definitely grow to a million army, enough to resist any strong enemy invasion. ”

Han Lingxiao's army and Xue He's army rested for a day in Huagangdi, and Xue He will follow Han Lingxiao's 150,000 army to continue westward to regain lost territory.

Yamasuke and Jiang Lan'er led the 80,000 troops of the original Black Mule Legion, as well as the 80,000 troops of the Yi Army, to advance eastward. This new army of 160,000 black mule legions, all of whom swore allegiance to King Ji.

Because when Yamasuke was the crown prince, at the beginning of the invasion of the Yi army, he ordered the soldiers and civilians in the central and western regions of Jiguo to surrender without a fight, and the country of Ji fell quickly. However, not only did it preserve the population of the western part of the country, but the army also opened up the natural danger in the western part of the country. Now, Sansuke has become the king, and he has replaced Shenjian Jia to obtain the eighteenth ranking of the martial arts list. The surrendered soldiers of the Yi army all swore to follow Shansuke, and they would open up the natural dangers in the east and north of Jiguo, open up the new agricultural frontier of Jiguo, and build a beautiful home in Jiguo.
