Chapter 16: The Moment of Confrontation

After the Iron Blooded Army defeated Gu Chayi's troops, they came to the ancient city. In the face of the righteous army in the city, the Iron Blood Army did not attack the city. Instead, let An Yun's iron cavalry lead the way, and the army continued to move in the direction of Shifeng City. Only a unit was left behind, which was responsible for monitoring the movements of the ancient city rebels.

"We have defeated more than 4,000 of them at once, and I don't think there are many of them left, so why don't they attack the city. Relying on these 30,000 soldiers and horses, it is not a problem to take this city. Qian Qinwei was puzzled.

"What are you going to do with this little city? This small city is very strong against the mountains, and we will have to pay at least a few thousand casualties to take it. Even if we take it, it's useless? It's too far away from Kanbei, so do we still have to garrison troops here all year round? Wang Qinwei said.

"What if they sneak up on us from behind? There are a lot of soldiers and horses in Stone Wind City, and they are attacked from both sides, but there will be problems. Qian Qinwei was still a little worried.

"It seems that after the pain of a broken arm four years ago, you have become more careful. According to the Malay report, there were 10,000 people in this small city, and now they were only 1,000 horsemen, and 4,000 of them were annihilated. The rest of the people who defended the city were okay, and they came out to fight us, which was beyond their means. I have already ordered a thousand iron horsemen to chase after them, and I don't care to send them to Hades. Stone Wind City is a famous city, and there are many enemy troops in Stone Wind City, and Stone Wind City is indeed something we must overcome. There's no need to waste troops in such a small city, Stone Wind City is our goal. Wang Qinwei explained.

"Your mind is finer than mine, since you think it's okay, then I won't say anything. An Yun Tieqi is alone in the world, and he doesn't say anything. Give me a thousand centaurs, and I want to feel the unstoppable. Qian Qinwei laughed.

"Naturally, this is no problem, the remaining two thousand cavalry can be given to you. However, you should keep in mind that you can't fight hard against a large enemy force, and you can't fight in unfavorable terrain. These are baby bumps, and you can't just lose them. Wang Qinwei reminded.

"Yanbei is a plain, how can there be unfavorable terrain. As far as those peasant armies in Yanbei are concerned, what kind of army can they be regarded as? Leave everything to me. Qian Qinwei said indifferently.

Wang Qinwei was very dissatisfied with Qian Qinwei's attitude, but thinking that Yanbei was indeed no big threat, he didn't say anything anymore.

Immediately, Qian Qinwei took two thousand iron horsemen as the vanguard and headed towards Shifeng City; The royal guard, with a large army, followed closely.

Gu Chayi's battle report soon spread to Shifeng City, Wei Zeng had already brought 30,000 horses to reinforce Gu Chayi at this time, and he was also surprised to hear the news of Gu Chayi's defeat.

"I didn't expect An Yun's iron cavalry to be so strong, and the four thousand men and horses couldn't even stop it. Fortunately, the eldest brother has some understanding of An Yun's army, and in the past few months, he has selected some powerful people to form a wrestler battalion, and it seems that if he wants to break An Yun's iron cavalry, he will have to rely on this strange army. Wei Zeng groaned.

"Wei Zeng, what are you going to do? I want to see An Yun's army, so why don't I be the vanguard to meet them. Sagaree said immediately.

"Miss Sa doesn't need to be anxious, the 10,000 horses you brought are of great use. For the iron-blooded army, you can't fight hard, but also rely on the tactics of dividing and attacking together. You take these 10,000 horses and horses, and you have to take the opportunity to go around to the flank of the Iron Army, and when the time comes, cooperate with me with the main force to give them unexpected blows. As for the enemy's advance cavalry, I naturally have a way to deal with it. Wei Zeng replied.

"If you say so, the flank will be handed over to me, and I will make a detour as I had previously arranged. You 20,000 people, be careful. After saying that, Sagaree led the soldiers away.

"Yu Chaogui, Huang Yufei obeys the order." Wei Zeng shouted.

"The end will be." Yu Chaogui and Huang Yufei came to Wei Zeng to receive orders.

"Yu Chaogui, the eldest brother has selected more than 1,000 people from the people who have joined him in the past few months to form the Lux Battalion, and the warriors of this Lux Battalion are all wearing heavy armor and holding blunt weapons, but we are the killer weapon to deal with the Iron and Blood Army. I'm in your hands now, let you go and meet those Anyun Iron Riders, do you dare? Wei Zeng immediately asked Yu Chaogui.

"What don't you dare? The general will hand it over to me, and if I can't defeat the Iron Army, I'm willing to come to see me. Yu Chaogui immediately made a military order.

"Very good, good morale. Hey, didn't you use a knife before? Why did you bring a steel rod out this time? Wei Zeng suddenly saw a steel staff hanging from Yu Chaogui's waist, so he asked.

"The last general admired the general very much, and saw the general wielding his staff on the battlefield to kill the enemy, and he was very brave. From now on I will use a rod. It just so happened that the general asked me to take the Lux Battalion, and I, as the commander of the Lux Battalion, wanted to use a knife, isn't that unreasonable? Yu Chaogui immediately replied.

"Haha, the cane is a bit difficult to use, you must practice diligently in the future. Huang Yufei, let me teach you to select the brave ones among the Guishun bandits and form a battalion of soldiers, are you ready? Wei Zeng turned his head and asked.

"I have carefully selected two thousand people, all of whom are dedicated to the general's allegiance and are ready for the general's disposal." Huang Yufei said immediately.

"Very good, tell these people that my Yanbei Righteous Army does not leave useless people, but as long as the people who have made meritorious contributions, I don't feel bad. This is the moment when they show their loyalty, and I give them a chance to do their part. I order you to take these two thousand men with you to meet the enemy's advance force. And I, a thousand flying eagle village soldiers, I will also hand it over to you. These are the elite of our army, and if you are all defeated, you don't have to come back. Wei Zeng commanded.

Yu Chaogui and Huang Yufei heard that the people from Feiying Village were also going with them, and they already knew that Wei Zeng attached great importance to this operation, and the two immediately promised to win.

"How these armies should fight, Jiang Luqing will tell you, you can't be the slightest bit ambiguous." After Wei Zeng finished speaking, he asked the two of them to take four thousand elites to meet the vanguard of the Iron and Blood Army.

"General Wei, I have already told the two of them about Mr. Zhaoqi's countermeasures, the two of them are doing very well in Yushan, and I guess there will be no problems this time." Jiang Luqing returned to Wei Zeng's side and said.

"Big brother values you very much, saying that you are also a manufacturable material. The eldest brother couldn't follow him because he had to guard Shifeng City and deal with Yanbei's affairs. If you have any good ideas, you must tell me, but you are not allowed to hide them. Wei Zeng said with a smile.

"With the general's appreciation and Mr. Qi's promotion, how dare I not do my best. This expedition is the work of the school dogs and horses. Jiang Luqing said.

"Is there any news from Emperor Li?" Wei Zengzeng said with a smile.

"There's no news yet, do you want me to send someone to urge it?" Jiang Luqing replied.

"No need, you can't rely on outsiders to resist the Predators. And Emperor Li should be more anxious than us, and they will naturally come when it is time to come. Wei Zeng said as he led the large army to the southwest.

Qian Qinwei led two thousand Anyun iron horsemen to sweep all the way away, and there was almost no one to stop him wherever he went, and the nearby county towns were attached one after another.

The people of the Demon Sect are not like the Jingnan Army, they only know how to kill people and rob money. Although they are evil, they also know how to cover them up.

What's more, the Iron and Blood Army is the king of the Tang and Tang Dynasties, and it has a sense of military honor, and the kind of random robbery of the people does not happen often. So everywhere the Predators went, everything was fine.

"What are the movements of the rebels in Yanbei? Did you just know that our army was coming, and you didn't dare to come out in Shifeng City? Qian Qinwei said when he saw Tanma coming back, and it could be seen that he didn't take the Yanbei Righteous Army seriously at all.

"The Yanbei rebels did not stay in Shifeng City, but divided into two ways to kill our army, and the vanguard of one of them was less than fifty miles away from our army." Tanma back reports.

"Why did they go out of the city to fight, and they split into two ways? Hahahaha, this saves us a lot of work, and it's better to destroy them outside the city than to attack the city and destroy them. I ask you how many people are in the vanguard of the enemy army and where are they now? Qian Qinwei immediately asked.

"The vanguard of the enemy is about three or four thousand, fifty miles to the north. Our army can rush over in an hour. However, the vanguard of the other party was a little strange, and it seemed that the western soldiers were inside. Tan Ma Hui reported.

"Kansai soldiers?" Qian Qinwei had never been to Guanxi, and he had no concept of the Guanxi soldiers, and after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't think of anything, thinking that maybe some deserters had run away to Yanbei and were absorbed by the rebels, so he said: "It should be a group of deserters." The opponent is only three or four thousand, and we defeated the enemy's four thousand with one thousand men on the side of the Guanluo River, so it should not be a big deal. Soldiers, come with me and wipe out the vanguard of the rebels. ”

The two thousand iron horsemen immediately stepped on the snow that had not yet melted, and then killed the vanguard of Yu Chaogui and Huang Yufei.

Yu Chaogui's Tanma also heard of the arrival of the Iron Blood Army, and immediately set up the formation according to the order, preparing to meet the Anyun Iron Cavalry.

The Anyun Iron Cavalry is rumored to be an invincible army, and it can still easily win in the face of several times the enemy. With 30,000 iron horses, it was difficult for hundreds of thousands of people to step into the Central Plains. Now only two thousand horsemen have arrived, but no one can despise them.

The news of Gu Chayi's defeat on the side of the Guanluo River came, and the four thousand soldiers of the Righteous Army were wiped out in one fell swoop, making Yu Chaogui and Huang Yufei more cautious in the face of the enemy.

Among the 4,000 people, the soldiers of the Flying Eagle Village formed a spear formation at the forefront. The people of Feiying Village have faced the enemies of the Mobei Zhantu and Xiangma in the past few years, and they are very experienced in how to deal with the cavalry that crisscrosses the grassland. In order to deal with An Yun's iron cavalry, Wei Zeng was ruthless and sent out these people who had followed him for three years.

A thousand wrestlers, a team of five, scattered everywhere, could not be distinguished from the two thousand rebels. They received an order that when confronted by the Anyun Iron Cavalry, the five of them joined forces to kill one knight, and only after killing one could they kill the other, and if anyone did not obey the order to fight alone, they would be punished by military law. These people all had steel whips, axes, sledgehammers, iron rods, and heavy armor under their cloth clothes, just to surprise the predators.

The two thousand Guishun robbers are all brave people selected by Huang Yufei, although these people have no choice but to return to the righteous army, but their long-term reckless career also makes them take life and death very lightly. Now that they are all the elites of the Yanbei Righteous Army, these people are also full of ambition for a while, and they want Wei Zeng to take a look, they are not just to be bullied.

The formation of 4,000 men and horses has been opened, and with the appearance of 2,000 iron horsemen on the horizon, a big battle is inevitable.
