Chapter 261: Deep in the Prairie

After Yang Xiuqing looked at the power of the hundred cannons, he sighed in his heart, this is the god of war, this is the artifact, but when he thinks of the enemy's bravery, it is not at all like when he hit the Cairnko, he knew that the second prince already knew the firearms and had prepared in his heart.

"Let the artillery stop, and move to high ground." Yang Xiuqing's face turned cold as soon as he saw that the enemy began to retreat.

Yang Xiuqing knew that the next step was the real beginning of the war, and the enemy would be even more fierce than now, although he had confidence in Ye Youji and his own equipment, but when he thought of the momentum of Hu Qi's battlefield, he was still a little worried in his heart, especially since they were not afraid of artillery.

"Report, the eldest prince has led the army back, General Ye asked, whether he will act according to the plan next." A herald soldier came to Yang Xiuqing and reported back.

In fact, Ye Youji was also shocked by Hu Qi's bravery in his heart, so the potential meaning of his words was to ask Yang Xiuqing if there were any other conspiracies and tricks, you must know that although Ye Youji had also fought several battles of foot breaking cavalry, but this time it was a real war of infantry and cavalry, and he had no bottom in his heart.

Yang Xiuqing looked into the distance, and in the end, his eyes must have shown a determined look in his heart: "Let Brother Ye, let go of your hands to fight in advance, don't think about those who have or don't, hit him and then talk about it, as for the eldest prince, let him place his horse in the rear, and then invite the eldest prince to come here." ”

"Yes, young master."

The herald left, but Yang Xiuqing's face did not relax, what he was thinking about at this time was Qi Yongzhong's side, because he thought from Hu Qi's fearless firearms, these two princes were not blind, Qi Yongzhong's whereabouts were suspicious, he must know, the firearms were prepared, could it be that he would not be guarded against in the rear.

At this time, on the edge of the Hu people's court, Qi Yongzhong and Rickianko rode on the side with cavalry like the Hu people, and he learned about the internal news of the Hu people from time to time through Huang Daxiong's secret line contact, coupled with the information that Yang Xiuqing transmitted to him from time to time, let him wander the grassland like his own backyard.

"Brother Qi, we won't fight the royal court, right?" Rikchenko said with a look of embarrassment.

Qi Yongzhong took away a piece of grass from his mouth, squinted his eyes and looked at Ri Kaienko, at this time Ri Kai Enke no longer had the firmness he had before, as he broke through what he said before not fighting with the Hu people to not participating in the battle with the Hu royal court, Qi Yongzhong felt that Li Kaienke was not far from becoming the companion that Yang Xiuqing envisioned, thinking of this, Qi Yongzhong gradually recognized and admired Yang Xiuqing's assimilation strategy in his heart.

"No, Brother Li, you don't want to think too much, you don't know what Brother Yang thinks, he just wants peace in Youyun and this time, it can be regarded as a commercial war, and it didn't hurt your Hu clan, just to help the eldest prince take the lead and retreat to Youyun, we are here this time to fight against those individual tribes who hurt Youyun's interests." Qi Yongzhong explained carefully.

Although Rickianko has heard this more than a hundred times, he has a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart, especially when he goes deep into the depths of the grassland at this time, and Qi Yongzhong sends people from time to time to understand the topography of the grassland, and also draws maps, especially some grasslands and water flows, which are specially noted, which makes Rickianko, a veteran of the battlefield, feel that Qi Yongzhong's move must have some conspiracy.

But deep down in his heart, he thought about Youyun's words of peace and equality between Hu and Wu, especially Yang Xiuqing really gave Hu people an alternative and the same way out as Wu people, which made Li Kaien not reject Yang Xiuqing in his heart like before.

Just when Rickenko wanted to open his mouth to say something, a burst of especially beast cries came, Qi Yongzhong immediately looked at the source of the sound, and a moment later, a Hu man walked over, but when he approached, Qi Yongzhong's face showed excitement.

"Yang Jingluo has a letter here." The man whispered.

Qi Yongzhong took the secret letter handed over by the person, the more Qi Yongzhong looked at it, the more gloomy his face became, and finally, he took out the fire fold and burned the secret letter on the spot, Qi Yongzhong looked at the person in front of him, Qi Yongzhong knew that this person must be Huang Daxiong's person, if it was Yang Xiuqing's person, he would definitely call Yang Xiuqing Young Master, because Yang Xiuqing's people were proud of themselves as Yang Xiuqing's house slaves.

"I know, but what's going on inside the royal court at this time." It turned out that this letter was Yang Xiuqing's request to Qi Yongzhong to pay attention to whether the second prince had dealt with and ambushed, especially asking him not to provoke the forces to which the second prince belonged and the royal court, and only to crack down on some tribes that cooperated with profiteers and smuggled them.

"What can it be, it's not like that, but there is one thing that worries me, the royal court still has a lot of military power, don't mess around." The person persuaded him: "But you may also be able to do something about their logistics, but it will be better to wait until the end, this is the depths of the Hu people." ”

Hearing this, Rickianko's face darkened, isn't this still fighting with the Hu clan, that knew that Qi Yongzhong's face was relieved, and he secretly said in his heart, it was really as Yang Xiuqing thought, but when he noticed that Rickianke's face was paired, he said casually: "Okay, you can go back, and then if there is nothing special, don't contact it, and it will cause your losses later." ”

"Well, we're one-time shadows, this time it's activated, we will quit if we retreat, we will sneak down if we dive in, and those who come in new will also come in, so I should return next." In the end, his face was full of bitterness, he had been on the grassland for most of his life, his wife and children were all Hu people and didn't know that he was fine, thinking of this, his heart was full of bitterness, but when he thought of his parents, his eyes showed a trace of longing.

"You're a hero, in seven days, we'll act, you can do it yourself, oh, it's best to contact Youyun for help." Qi Yongzhong looked at the person in front of him with admiration, and he admired this kind of person in his heart.

"Thank you."

Qi Yongzhong looked at the back of the thin work, and he thought of the life and family affection he sighed when he was in contact with those veterans since he was a child, and then he knew why those veterans said that their families were great.

"Brother Qi, what are your plans next?" Rikenko finally couldn't bear to open his mouth and called Qi Yongzhong, who was losing his mind.

Qi Yongzhong came back to his senses, looked around, and then said with a cold face: "Hmph, prepare for war, and the first one will attack the Evil Valley King tribe who does not respect the interests of Youyun and ignores the peace of the two clans." “

"Then you just said the royal court?" Rickenko reminded that in fact, what Rickenko wanted to ask was whether Qi Yongzhong planned to start a war with the royal court, you must know that he had deep feelings for the royal court.

"Don't worry, the two clans have to say that it is peaceful, but there are always some flies interfering with the peace, which is absolutely intolerant, so you can rest assured, we are reasonable." Qi Yongzhong said confidently, but in fact, he secretly said in his heart, Li Kaienke, you fell into the hands of Yang Xiuqing, you still want to have a backbone, you think too much.

Although Richianko doubted the authenticity of Qi Yongzhong's words, he still convinced himself that Yang Xiuqing was a special person, and he would be equal to the two clans like Youyun.

Rickenko and Qi Yongzhong left with the cavalry, they were going to attack the king of the Evil Valley, and their 30,000 cavalry had been marching with the subordinate army of the former king for the past few days, especially through the friendly tribes of the eldest prince, and communicating with Yang Xiuqing.

However, Yang Xiuqing at this time did not have that peace of mind, because at this time, the cavalry in front of the battlefield did not start, and only rode far away in front of the formation, although Ye Youji was also ready, but when Yang Xiuqing stood on a small hill and saw the Hu cavalry who could not be seen from afar, especially when the other party was disciplined and formed, his heart became more and more impatient.

"Big brother, what do you think of the second prince's attack?" Yang Xiuqing casually asked the eldest prince who was drinking tea.

Although Yang Xiuqing asked casually, but he seriously hoped in his heart that the eldest prince could give a favorable explanation, and when the eldest prince heard this, he looked at Yang Xiuqing and then looked at the infantry below, and he sighed.

"Those cavalry are all royal court soldiers, they are not afraid of death, but your guns and position discipline are also first-class, I don't know how it will be in the end, but both sides want to win completely, it is a little difficult, I can't see it." The eldest prince also replied casually.

In fact, in his heart, he wanted Hu Ren to have a better face, but he also thought that Yang Xiuqing could press down the momentum of the second prince with one blow as he wished, so that he could re-recruit those tribes who were interested in following him, and he had no way to talk to Yang Xiuqing in detail about it, so he could only choose some characteristics at will to focus on Yang Xiuqing.

Knowing that Yang Xiuqing's eyes lit up when he heard this, he walked around with his hands behind his back, and after a while, his eyes showed a fierce light and instructed the heralds: "Pass my order, let all departments strictly abide by discipline, and must not be barren in wartime, even if the enemy's saber is about to fall, they must obey the orders of their superiors, and must not take a step back, all offenders will be killed, and their families will no longer enjoy the benefits of soldiers." “

The eldest prince looked at Yang Xiuqing puzzled, he didn't know what Yang Xiuqing meant by this move, but Yang Xiuqing didn't see the eldest prince's eyes eager to be understood, and his face immediately showed a trace of calm.

"Come, let's roast sheep on the battlefield." Yang Xiuqing looked at the already inferior sun, and he suddenly felt a sense of hunger in his stomach, so he thought of roasting sheep, but the eldest prince admired Yang Xiuqing a little, roasting sheep almost every day these days, even he, a Hu person, couldn't compare to Yang Xiuqing's love for roast sheep, but he didn't say anything and just nodded in agreement.

At this moment, two heralds came over again, one was the herald on the artillery's side, and he quickly said: "Report, the artillery is in place and ready to shell." “

"Report, General Ye said that the enemy is already preparing to attack, and Yang Xiuqing should pay attention to the logistics aspect, and the logistics must not be cut off." After Ye Youji saw the enemy's bravery, he already knew that this was a battle of strength, and it was impossible to win for a while, and thinking of the enemy's mobility, he still reminded Yang Xiuqing.

"Well, let him fight hard, don't keep his hands, as soon as he makes a move, he will play a military might." Yang Xiuqing said ruthlessly.

The herald sent by Ye Youji got Yang Xiuqing's order and left quickly, but the artillery herald was still standing beside Yang Xiuqing, because the artillery was directly ordered by Yang Xiuqing, Yang Xiuqing looked at the artillery on the high ground, and those Hu cavalry who could not see the end.

"Let Yang Yi go and find out, where is General Hu's location, and the artillery will concentrate fire to attack the enemy general, but it can't hit the second prince."
