The desert, the yellow sand in the distance, is the windy season.

The continuous sand dunes may not know where to move after tomorrow.

In the oasis puddle, a team of horses were led to the puddle in an orderly manner to drink.

Tuoba Mountain looked at the yellow sand flying in the distance, rode his horse to Lu Ning's camel, and said with some worry: "General Courtyard, it is difficult to travel in the desert, and the wind and sand are strong today, you must be careful of Li Guangxian's ambush!" What's more, the wild tribe is behind, and I am afraid that I will be attacked by the enemy on my belly ......and back."

These worries, he really does not vomit unhappy, Qi people are strong, really contact with the elite of Qi people, I feel much stronger than imagined, this Qi Emperor's pro-army, although there are only more than 100 people, but the party light cavalry, not thousands, do not dare to directly attack its front, of course, light cavalry to heavy cavalry, if both sides have no auxiliary troops, although the light cavalry does not dare to get close, but can be harassed with a long-range bow and arrow, it will be exhausted.

And now the 2,000 elite cavalry of Tuoba Mountain are obviously for the emperor to re-ride the pro-army and expel this kind of harassment.

Tuoba Mountain is even more willing, willing to cooperate with this heavy cavalry to fight, in this Huangyangping, Dijinze area, these more than 100 heavy cavalry, as long as there is auxiliary arms to cooperate, it is simply an invincible existence.

But the problem is that the Qi people are strong, which also makes them arrogant.

Now go to the land of Jinze, in front, is the real desert area of more than ten miles, the wind is strong, if Li Guangxian cavalry in the desert ambush, can break out in close combat in an instant, and the emperor's pro-army, in this desert, desert, can not penetrate the armor, if they are caught off guard, these unarmored Qi noble soldiers, become extremely fragile, afraid that Li Guangxian will be killed.

From the conflict that broke out in Huangyangping to the present, the General Academy of Literature and Culture has to go to Jinze to "mediate" the conflict between Li Guangxian's ministry and the fine seal department, but I am afraid that Li Guangxian will definitely not be arrested obediently, and there is a great possibility of a conflict breaking out in Jinze.

However, the General Court of Literature made Yeli Zhengrong guilty of meritorious service and led a thousand horsemen to break off.

This, once in the middle of the ambush, who is the Yeli Department cut off? I'm afraid that most of them will cut off their own way out.

Therefore, Tuoba Mountain really couldn't help it, so he took a break in this oasis and came to persuade the General Academy.

Lu Ning looked at him and smiled, because he was riding a camel, he was originally thinking about the formation of a camel artillery cavalry, which would be mainly used to fight in the Western Regions.

After the establishment of power in Western Xia, there was a 200-cavalry Poxi army, that is, 200 camel stone-throwing gunners.

This kind of stone-throwing cannon has not been unearthed in kind, after all, the number is small, and it was later destroyed by the Mongols, where are the descendants of the Dangxiang people, experts are arguing.

According to the written record, this camel stone thrower is a miniaturized trebuchet mounted on a hump, and during the battle, the camel lies down and the stone thrower is fired.

Although it also requires the coordination of other arms, the power of the Poxi army should not be underestimated, and it has made several contributions in the vicious battles against the Song, Liao, and even the Uighurs in Ganzhou.

His own camel soldiers also formed a few hundred cavalry, the so-called "artillery", of course, using gunpowder as the equipment of the outbreak mechanism, how to do it themselves has to be designed.

Speaking of which, in the Gunpowder Age, in West Asia and North Africa, camel musketeers were also all the rage, with more mobility than infantry, and muskets could carry smoothbore guns that were more powerful than the short-barreled muskets of horse pistol infantry, and camels were lying down to be cover, which was favored by the nobles of West Asia, of course, raising a large camel musketeer was also extremely expensive.

However, the northwest and northeast, which side to prioritize is uncertain.

Opening up the northwest and re-establishing the Silk Road on the road will make Daqi stronger.

But the problem is that the Western Regions are now a mess, not to mention Central Asia and West Asia, from Yinchuan to Xinjiang in the future.

There were many forces, such as the Dangxiang people, the Tibetans, the Hexi Uighurs, the Ganzhou Uighurs, the Cao Guiyi Army, the Western Uighurs, and many others.

There is also Zhao Kuangyin watching from the side, and the various departments of southwest Tibet may come to make trouble.

The various relations are complicated, and in order to truly occupy these areas and make them slowly become real Qi territory, it is necessary to plan how to govern these areas, which is still on the basis of a very smooth use of troops.

The Khitans, on the other hand, could threaten the Central Plains Dynasty when they went south, and it was extremely important to completely remove their threat.

At the very least, he also has to control Liaodong.

Moreover, the real control of Liaodong has another advantage, expanding eastward and incorporating the territory of the original Bohai State into Qidi, including northern Korea.

There are abundant copper ore resources, which can make the current dynasty, which lacks copper, no longer so overstretched when casting bronze cannons and copper coins.

The Goryeo Kingdom, which was now expanding westward, could contain its momentum by entering the Korean Peninsula earlier.

Therefore, it is difficult to make a decision for a while which direction is the focus of the next use of troops.

It should be, or the Northeast is important, of course, it depends on how far this game with the party people goes.

While Lu Ning was pondering, Tuoba Mountain came to persuade again.

Lu Ning smiled at him, and was about to speak, when he suddenly looked at the sky, Hai Dongqing, who was hovering in the sky, was making a sharp scream, but it was far away, and only Lu Ning could faintly hear it.

Lu Ning frowned and made a gesture.

Pei Long and Pei Hu, who were leading the camel left and right, immediately shouted, "Put on your armor and prepare to fight!" "Armor and ready to fight!"

The four team leaders of Brother Wanyan, Brother Nihan, Yelu Xuan, and Cao Guangshi immediately roared.

The Yulin guards took off their pack horses one after another and put them on their bodies skillfully.

Now Yu Linlang, one guard and four horses, in addition to the original war horse, pack horse and riding horse, there is one more horse and an entourage, and the entourage helps the master to take care of the horses, etc., so that there is no need to leave a few people to be horse stakes, there are special servants to help the armor, and the efficiency has also increased greatly.

Moreover, these servants are all selected from the Wanyan Division, and each bow horse is skilled, with bows and arrows, and can also be used as light bow riders to support Yulin Wei in battle.

Moreover, it is said that it is Yu Linwei's servant soldiers, but in fact, it is more like a combat partner in a supporting role, these servants do not belong to Yu Linwei's private ownership, but the emperor's servants, Yu Linwei is renewed, these partners are light horses, and they may not be replaced.

The evolution of the Great Emperor's pro-army is simply a testimony to the gradual strengthening of the Qi State.

Tuoba Mountain was slightly stunned when he saw this, and immediately shouted to his subordinates to prepare for battle.

Lu Ning took out a light veil and helped You Yiyi, who was sitting on his side, to cover his eyes gently, the wind and sand in the desert were big, in addition to the veil that shrouded the chariot, You Yiyi originally wore a power fence, but now Lu Ning was blindfolded with a veil, You Yiyi said softly: "Brother-in-law, be careful." ”

Lu Ning knew that You Yiyi was holding a dagger in her hand, this little girl, of course, felt that she would not lose any war, but in the same way, she also prepared for the worst.
