Chapter 131: The First Battle

In the camp of the Zhenbei Army, Li Yan has been in the camp for two days, and in the past two days, the sentinels sent out by Lei Ming have reported that the Wei army has more than 20,000 soldiers and horses that have begun to come to the West Sea.

In today's situation, the Wei army is bound to attack the West Sea, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses are already more than the Zhenbei army, in the face of the menacing Wei army, Li Yan does not dare to slack off in his heart.

"General, the Wei army has already passed Dayun Mountain, and now it is only fifty miles away from my Xihai, and they have already begun to set up camp, and it is estimated that they will launch an attack from tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Lei Ming stood behind Li Yan and said slowly.

"Got it. Has the army been assembled? Li Yan nodded, turned around and asked.

Lei Ming clenched his fists and said, "It's all ready, please rest assured, general." The northern army of our town has no bad seeds, and vows to live and die with the West Sea. ”

"Zhu Yuanhu's 10,000 soldiers and horses should be almost here, right?"

"General, Zhu Yuanhu set out from Jiuquan the night before yesterday, and the march of the army was relatively slow, and he should be able to reach the West Sea tonight." Lei Ming was surprised when he heard that Zhu Yuanhu was surprised, he received news from Jiuquan early this morning, and King Liang sent Zhu Yuanhu to lead the army to aid the West Sea.

"In this way, give up the southern camp to Zhu Yuanhu, now facing a huge threat from the Wei army, General Lei Ming must focus on the overall situation." Li Yan saw that Lei Ming's face was a little wrong, and patted Lei Ming's shoulder and said.

"Don't worry, general, the last general understands." Lei Ming was stunned for a moment, and then said with his fists clenched.

"Hmm. You go first. ”

Thunder roared out of the big tent, mounted his warhorse, and headed south with a spear in hand.

The camp of the Zhenbei Army is busy, and the soldiers have begun to prepare to fight, and now the Wei army is not far from Xihai City, and Xihai City is too small to accommodate nearly 20,000 Zhenbei troops.

Linghu Dezhao is inspecting the camp, as the long history of the Zhenbei Army, this year on behalf of Li Yan to deal with military affairs, the Zhenbei Army is in good order, the Wei army is attacking, and the soldiers, horses, money and food in the army are in charge of it.

"Lord Changshi, the general invites you to the big tent of the Chinese army to discuss matters." A blood wolf guard walked up to Linghu Dezhao and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, you go back to the general, and say I'll be right away." Ling Hu Dezhao gave a few orders to the sergeant beside him, and then responded.

In the big tent, Li Yan is waiting for Linghu Dezhao inside, and now that the war is about to start, he must know the matter of grain and grass in his heart.

"Brother Dezhao, you're here, sit down." Li Yan got up and said as soon as he saw Linghu Dezhao enter the big tent.

"Thank you, General."

"Between you and me, there is no need for these false courtesies, Brother Dezhao, now that more than 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Wei army have passed through Dayun Mountain and set up camp on the shore of Baishui Lake, it is estimated that they will attack our army in the next two days, and now the grain, grass and ordnance of the northern army of our town have been prepared?" Li Yan waved his hand and said with a smile.

"It's all ready, there is no need to worry about the grain and grass, Lord Liang has worked hard for this, even with Zhu Yuanhu's 10,000 soldiers and horses, it is still enough. Now the ordnance of the Zhenbei Army is made of Longshoujian, which can be used by a total of 20,000 troops. Linghu Dezhao nodded and said.

"Good. According to the report from the sentinel, the Wei army only dispatched more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, led by Tuoba Xu, the general of the Wei State to conquer the west, who was the deputy general of the Wei army's northern expedition to Rouran, and fought with the Rouran people all year round, which should not be underestimated. ”

"Brother Yan has ever thought about how to deal with it? The Wei army has been fighting all year round, and its combat power should be no less than that of the Huns, so be cautious. ”

"Good. After the arrival of Zhu Yuanhu's soldiers and horses, you arranged him in the southern camp, and the military was used like the Zhenbei Army, and now in extraordinary times, maybe Zhu Yuanhu's 10,000 soldiers and horses are still of some use. Li Yan looked at Linghu Dezhao and said.

"I see."

Baishui Lake, which is a large natural lake, has a constant water level all year round, even in the dry season, and the water and grass are abundant and the land is fertile. It is very close to Xihai City in Xiliang, and fast horses can go back and forth in a day.

At this moment, more than 20,000 Wei troops are stationed here, and the tents of the army are all over the lakeside. From time to time, the scolding of the officers in the battalion could be heard, and the entire Wei army camp was busy.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, a general with a long beard in the tent was looking at the map in the tent and fell into thought, and there were several Wei generals in black armor standing beside him.

This person is Tuoba Xu, the deputy general of the Northern Expedition of the Wei Army, who led more than 20,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed here this time in order to take the West Sea and control the entire Monan in one fell swoop.

"General, the army has been arranged, and the grain and grass in the army have been transported out of the valley by General Wang, and tomorrow we can launch an attack on the Xiliang army, and we will take the Xihai Sea to see what else his eldest grandson Song can say." A captain in black armor behind Tuoba Xu bowed down and said.

"Hmm. The Northern Expedition, the Rouran army was killed by my Great Wei warriors, far away from the desert north, after this battle, the Rouran thieves are no longer worried, it is said that last year Mobei grassland snow disaster, Rouran thieves suffered heavy casualties, it can really be said that God bless my Great Wei. The West Sea is the gateway to the northern part of Xiliang, and once it is taken, it can directly threaten Jiuquan, and the Hexi Corridor can be slowly mapped. Tuoba Xu said, holding his long beard.

"What the general said is extremely true, if my Great Wei can conquer Xiliang and capture the Hexi Corridor, in the future, my Great Wei can attack the Qin State on both the east and west sides."

"I heard that the Northern Army of Xiliang Town is the elite of Xiliang, then let the general see whether the Zhenbei Army is powerful or my Great Wei warriors will exterminate the Zhenbei Army, this Northern Expedition will be accidentally ambushed by the dog thief of Hulu so that the soldiers are lost, this battle must take the West Sea, otherwise once Your Majesty Tianwei comes, we will not be able to escape punishment. Do you get it? Tuoba Xu said loudly.

"The last will understand."

"Pass the order, the army will rest for a day, and march to the West Sea early the day after tomorrow, General Wei Chi, you will immediately send all the sentinels to inquire about the news of the Zhenbei Army."

"General, rest assured, the last general will obey." The scar on the face of a man in the tent was hideous.

Two days later, on the prairie twenty miles away from Xihai City, the Zhenbei Army and the Wei Army were facing each other, and the Zhenbei Army seemed to be a little less than the Wei Army.

The two armies confronted each other, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered, drums beat loudly on the battlefield, and the soldiers let out a deafening roar.

"General, that is the Zhenbei Army, judging by its momentum is indeed extraordinary, no wonder it can defeat Fuqu Mengxun, but now it is not worth mentioning in front of my Great Wei Iron Cavalry, the general ordered! The last general can't wait. Tuoba Xu held a long knife in his hand, sat on the war horse, and the black-armored captain behind him pointed to the Zhenbei Army and said.

"Hmm. General Wang, you led 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Xiliang Army from the front, and directly took the middle army of the Xiliang Army, and General Wei Chi led 5,000 light cavalry to bypass from the side to cooperate with General Wang. ”

"The last will obey."

Li Yan watched the Wei army begin to kill his own Chinese army, the long lance in his hand was tightly held in his hand, and his eyes became sharp.

"The whole army obeys the order and kills the enemy with the general."
