Chapter 360: A Good Candidate for a Fighting General
After Liu Ji occupied Zhuqi Kingdom, he seized a huge amount of wealth from the hands of the royal family and nobles of Zhuqi Kingdom, most of which were transferred back to Chengyin City by Liu Ji, and then the Westward Advance Army also transported a lot of gold and silver treasures to Chengyin City, after all, Liu Ji's territory in the Western Regions was about to face the counterattack of Gaochang Kingdom, so much wealth was sent back to Chengyin City to be safer. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, what Liu Ji never expected was that it was precisely because a large amount of wealth was transported back to Chengyin City that the strength of the Hu people alliance army suddenly surged by more than one million in less than a month, and the size of the entire Hu people alliance army swelled to 1.56 million at once.
Even Liu Ji and his generals still don't know the real reason for the surge in the strength of the Hu people's coalition army.
In a tent in the camp of the Ju'an army north of Qishan Pass, Le Yi said to Liu Ji with a sad face: "Lord, according to the report of the scouts, we have roughly counted that in recent days, the Hu people coalition army has increased at least one million or so, and now the camp of the Hu people coalition army has stretched for dozens of miles, according to Heishuitai's previous report, the ten clans of the Hu people coalition army have gathered 450,000 cavalry, so now the total strength of the Hu people coalition army may have broken through to 1.5 million, and we are already at a disadvantage in terms of strength." ”
Liu Ji asked calmly: "Will the strength of the Hu coalition continue to increase?" ”
Le Yi pondered for a moment and said: "According to the scout's report, the additional troops sent by the ten clans in the Hu Coalition Army have all rushed to the large camp of the Hu Coalition Army, and the subordinates estimate that the strength of the Hu Coalition Army should be so much. ”
Liu Ji sighed and asked, "Is there any chance there is there for Su Lie?" ”
Le Yi shook his head and said: "The Hu people coalition army is very careful this time, and has sent a large number of scouts to monitor the situation around the camp day and night, and the grassland legion has no chance to sneak attack at all, Su Lie has already led the main force of the grassland legion to Qishan Pass." ”
Originally, there were only 450,000 Hu people's coalition army, and the tactics formulated by Liu Ji and Su Lie were to use infantry to resist the impact of the Hu cavalry here at Qishan Pass, and then the hundreds of thousands of cavalry of the grassland army outflanked them from behind, forming a two-sided flank attack.
However, now that the strength of the Hu coalition army has swelled to 1.5 million, it is impossible to achieve the two-sided attack formulated before, and the Hu coalition army has enough strength to storm the Qishan Pass while organizing cavalry of all ethnic groups to encircle and suppress the grassland army of the entire Jue'an army.
Liu Ji nodded with a heavy expression, "It seems that there is no other way than to fight hard, order Wei Xiaokuan and Xu Rong to be ready to send troops to support Qishankou at any time, if there is no unexpected situation, Qishankou will be the decisive battle place between our Ji'an army and the Hu people's coalition army!" ”
Now north of Qishankou, the Jue'an army has concentrated the infantry battalions under the command of Le Yi, Gao Shun, Li Xin, Meng Wu, Zhang Guiba, Zhang Guihou, and Zhang Guiben, as well as twelve newly formed infantry battalions, and then Liu Ji's guard battalion.
Wei Xiaokuan commanded eight infantry battalions to be responsible for the defense of the entire Ju'an County, and Xu Rong commanded five infantry battalions to be responsible for the defense of the four counties of Yongjing County.
Le Yi hesitated and said: "Lord, it is better for you to retreat to the south of Qishankou with the guard battalion first, now the strength of the Hu people coalition army may exceed one and a half million, and they are basically cavalry, once the battle here in Qishankou starts, it will definitely be very dangerous." ”
Liu Ji waved his hand and said, "It's not certain who will kill the deer!" What's more, where does Ben Taishou have the reason to escape from the battle, Ben Taishou will compete with Hu Lu at Qishan Pass! ”
In the past few days when the Hu people have joined forces to increase their troops, the various battalions of the Ju'an army in Qishankou have not been idle, and have been stepping up training, and now even the twelve newly formed infantry battalions have some combat strength, which can be regarded as being able to break away from the rabble.
In the territory of the four counties of Ju'an County and Yongjing County, Liu Ji has nearly 500,000 infantry in his hands, and the strength of the Grassland Army has now surged to 350,000, which is where Liu Ji's confidence lies in fighting against the Hu people's coalition army.
Early in the morning of May 1, 427 of the Great Jin Dynasty, the 1.56 million cavalry of the Hu people coalition army finally continued to advance towards the Qishan Pass.
The Hu cavalry of all ethnic groups have very few requirements for logistics, and with the dried meat and dairy products carried by each Hu cavalry's two war horses, plus the mare's milk, it can almost ensure that each Hu cavalry can fight in the field for a month, and if the Hu cavalry has three war horses, this time can be extended.
Using the material replenishment of the surrounding tribes, as well as the supplies brought by the armies of the various ethnic groups, the 1.56 million cavalry of the Hu people coalition army can now fight continuously for about a month, but it is precisely because the strength is as high as 1.56 million, and the amount required to replenish it again with jerky and dairy products will be very huge, and the surrounding tribes should not be able to take out much jerky and dairy products, so if they can defeat the main force of Liu Ji's Ju'an army in one battle, Yeluqi, the Khitan right king, is very happy.
That night, a camp of the Hu coalition army that stretched for dozens of miles was built more than ten miles away from the camp of the Ju'an army, and at this time, the ten cavalry battalions of the grassland army of the Yu'an army also arrived north of Qishankou and joined the infantry of the Yu'an army, but the other five cavalry battalions of the grassland army did not appear here.
On the morning of May 2, the sky was clear, and the Ju'an army and the Hu army invariably set up a position in front of their respective camps, and the Ju'an army only dispatched six infantry battalions and four cavalry battalions, as well as the guard battalion led by Liu Ji himself, while the Hu army sent almost 400,000 cavalry of various nationalities.
Looking at the dense Hu cavalry in the distance, Liu Ji turned his head and said to Liu Sang, the puppet bodyguard next to him whose force value reached 99 points: "Liu Sang, go to the front of the two armies and let Hu Lu send someone over to send him to death!" ”
Then Liu Ji instructed Liu Sang a few words, the IQ of the puppet bodyguard is not high, and Liu Ji must explain some things clearly.
In this world, as long as the two armies are in position, they will basically fight, and both sides hope to use the fighting future to show their strong force and overwhelm each other in morale.
There are a lot of top generals summoned from the system under Liu Ji's command, but he has never been afraid to fight with the enemy, and since Liu Ji led the troops, as long as he is a fighting general, he has never suffered a loss, after all, Liu Ji also has the system's scanning function as a cheat.
At this time, there are a total of ten puppet bodyguards around Liu Ji, not counting the four puppet bodyguards around Su Lie, so many puppet bodyguards with super high force value, if they don't use them to fight, it is really a bit of a waste.
Let's just say that Liu Sang, a puppet bodyguard with a force value of 99 points, as long as he is sent to the front of the two armies, there should be few people among the generals of the Hu people coalition who can resist Liu Sang, maybe only the leader of the coalition army, Yeluqi, the Khitan right king, is Liu Sang's opponent.
According to Liu Ji's instructions, Liu Sang urged the horse to come to the front of the two armies, and as soon as he crossed the big knife in his hand, he shouted loudly: "Liu Sang of the Juan Army is here, which Hu Lu comes up to die!" ”
Although the Hu coalition army on the opposite side did not all dispatch, the Great Khans and Zongwang of all ethnic groups came out, and they all gathered at the forefront of the 400,000 cavalry of various ethnic groups.
Seeing that the Jue'an army sent people to call for battle in front of the two armies, the Great Khan of the Rouran tribe said loudly to Yeluqi, the Khitan Right Rite King: "This Jin general is too rampant, let us let the warrior of the Rouran tribe beg Shenggai go and take down the head of this Jin general!" ”
Qishenggai is a very famous warrior of the Rouran tribe, and even Yeluqi has heard of the name of Qishenggai, so Yeluqi said with a smile: "Mugulu Great Khan, then the good start of our coalition army depends on the warriors of the Rouran clan!" ”
Then a general of the Rouran tribe with a long axe in his hand, urged the horse to come to the front of the two armies, the general of the Rouran tribe named Qishenggai, originally wanted to say a few words to Liu Sang, but Liu Sang did not give him a chance to speak at all, seeing a general sent by the Hu people, Liu Sang waved a big knife to meet him, and only four or five knives were chopped, and this very famous warrior of the Rouran tribe was killed with a knife.
"Liu Sang of the Juan Army is here, which Hu Lu will come up and send him to death!" After Liu Sang killed the beggar Shenggai, he grabbed the reins of the war horse, slashed the big knife in his hand, and shouted the words just now to the Hu people's coalition army.
Liu Ji was not surprised that Liu Sang easily killed the Hu general called Qi Shenggai, through the scanning of the system, Qi Shenggai's force value was only 89 points, and even the level of the top military generals was not reached, compared to Liu Sang, whose force value reached 99 points, the gap was still very large.
Yeluqi, the Khitan Right Rite King, saw Liu Sang slash to death with a few knives, and his brows couldn't help frowning, where did the Great Jin Jiuhu find such a powerful general?
Liu Sang was at least a few hundred steps away from the front of the Hu people's coalition army, and Yeluqi couldn't see Liu Sang's face clearly, otherwise Yeluqi would have found that Liu Sang had the appearance of a standard Western Regions.
Seeing that the Great Khan of the Rouran clan Mu Gulu was easily killed by Liu Sang, he was first shocked, and then he was full of anger, Mu Gulu turned his head and shouted behind him: "Ai Ge Li, bring back the head of that Jin country man to Ben Da Khan, don't be as light as Qi Sheng Gai!" ”
Ai Geli is also a more famous warrior of the Rouran tribe, and his martial arts are not weaker than the killed beggar Shenggai, and the great sweat of the Rouran clan Mu Gulu saw that the ability of the beggar was not yet used, so he was killed by Liu Sang several times, thinking that it was because the beggar was underestimating the enemy.
When Ai Geli heard the Great Khan call him to fight, he didn't hesitate at all, and he came to the front of the two armies, but Ai Geli told himself in his heart that he must be careful of this Jin general.
Liu Sang saw that the Hu people sent another general, and directly waved his sword to meet him, and the master told him that he could not return to the master unless the gong sounded, otherwise he would kill all the Hu generals who fought in front of the two armies.
