On the side of the Hanshui River, Songfan had already led 40,000 Shaanxi troops across the Hanshui, and only 10,000 Gan troops were still staying in the north of the Hanshui, waiting for Ma Qianling's Ma Jiajun.

However, this 10,000 Gan army was destined to be unable to cross the river, because the defeated Ma Jiajun brought 9,000 dragon and tiger cavalry.

The big war broke out again by the Hanshui River!

Nine thousand knights of the Dragon and Tiger Army, against one thousand cavalry of the Ma Family Army and ten thousand Gan Army!

Bursts of gunfire, smoke of gunpowder, mess, shrouded in horse leather, and flames of war...... It seems that it is not enough to describe the battlefield on the north bank of the Han River now.

The screams and wails seem to have surpassed the gunfire and whistling of the knights of the Dragon and Tiger Army!

If you have to find a word, it can only be used to describe the current battlefield.

Corpses are strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood are flowing!

The Han water seems to have been dyed red.

On the south bank of the Han River, Song Fan and Li Xianzong stood quietly, watching the battle on the north side of the Han River from a distance, and couldn't help but tremble lightly, they couldn't imagine what kind of tragedy they would experience if they crossed the river half an hour later.

Halfway through, Li Xianzong swallowed his saliva, licked his lips that had already been dry and white, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, won't we go over to help?" ”

Song Fan snorted slightly, and then looked around at the Shaanxi soldiers around him who were also paying attention to the battlefield north of Hanshui as much as himself, and said, "Look at them like this, who dares to cross the river?" ”

When Li Xianzong heard this, he looked at everyone and found that some of the timid people had already collapsed to the ground, and most of them were staring blankly at the battlefield in the north, their faces turned pale, and many of them were even trembling and their legs trembling.

Who wants to die? Who would dare to send them to death?

No one dared to go!

An hour passed in this way, and to the north of the Han River, the fierce battle continued, but it was already nearing the end, and the 10,000 Gan army was less than a third, and the 1,000 Ma army was less than 100 horsemen, and almost everyone was wounded.

Ma Qianling was too old to die under the sword of the Dragon and Tiger Army knights, and Ma Fushou lost an arm forever.

And the knights of the Dragon and Tiger Army have also sacrificed more than 2,000 people, and the remaining 7,000 horsemen are also covered in blood, although they are already exhausted, they are still struggling to swing their swords.

Until you kill the last enemy, they will never stop swinging their swords!

Cao Futian had been stabbed no less than five times, and his left arm was also shot, but he did not quit the battle, still gritted his teeth, and his eyes were firmly on the battlefield.

The knights of the Dragon and Tiger Army did not shout surrender or kill, and the Gan Army did not raise their hands to surrender.

The battle lasted two and a half hours, and finally, the battle did not come to an end until the last Gan soldier fell to the ground.

In this battle, including the previous duel with the cavalry of the Ma Jiajun, all 21,105 soldiers of the Gan army were killed, and the Dragon and Tiger Army also paid a heavy price, 3,512 people fell forever on the land of Hanzhong, 502 people were disabled for life, 839 people were seriously wounded, 4,478 people were slightly injured, and after the battle, less than 1,500 people were intact.

Cao Futian was seriously injured and lost too much blood, and fell into a coma after the battle.

If Songfan led the army north to cross the Han River at this time, he was afraid that he could easily wipe out the remaining cavalry regiments.

However, Songbo did not have this courage, and all the soldiers of the Shaanxi army did not have this courage.

Li Xianzong knew that from now on, the Shaanxi army would never be the opponent of the Dragon and Tiger Army, because this battle had left a shadow in the hearts of the soldiers of the Shaanxi army, leaving a shadow of the invincibility of the Dragon and Tiger Army!

The 40,000 Shaanxi troops left, left the south bank of the Han River, and quickly rushed to Sichuan.

In the early morning of the next day, all the vanguard troops rushed to the edge of the Han River, but unfortunately the battle was over, and the Shaanxi army led by Songfan had already gone.

A day later, the main forces of the 2nd and 6th Corps rushed to Hanzhong.

Five days later, the Second and Sixth Army Corps occupied all the prefectures and counties of Hanzhong and Xing'an in southeastern Shaanxi.

In Lanzhou, Gansu, the main forces of the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Army also defeated the Gan army in one battle, destroying 9,000 enemies and capturing 40,000 enemies.

Ma Anliang, the governor of Shaanxi, was killed in battle, more than 15,000 people directly related to Ma Jia's army were killed in battle, and the remaining 4,000 people all surrendered.

Ma Qi was more intelligent, and had already pulled the army to the territory of Hezhou before the war.

After Lanzhou was occupied by the Dragon and Tiger Army, Ma Qi and his brother Ma Lin decisively chose to surrender to the Dragon and Tiger Army.

Nie Yuanzheng received instructions from Wang Jundao and accepted the surrender of the two brothers Ma Qi and Ma Lin, but because the Dragon and Tiger Army did not allow the existence of private armies, the Ma Jiajun was also absorbed by the Dragon and Tiger Army, and the name of the Ma Family Army no longer existed.

Although Ma Qi and Ma Lin were extremely reluctant, they also chose to accept their fate, but Wang Jundao treated most senior generals and sent them directly to the military academy to study, as long as they could complete their studies and graduate with excellent grades, they could basically lead as many soldiers as before surrendering, which made the disappointed Ma Qi and Ma Lin full of hope for the future again.

After the Gan army was defeated and Lanzhou was occupied, Gansu Province did not have any major hostile forces except for the Ningxia Governor and 20,000 troops, and even in Ganzhou, Suzhou and other places, the garrison did not exceed 3,000.

Wang Jundao then ordered that Xiang Zilong lead the Fifth Army Corps to sit in Lanzhou, collect the 50,000 Gan troops who surrendered, and finally get 30,000 elite soldiers, and send troops to various parts of Gansu Province to recover the provinces, prefectures, and counties of Gansu Province.

At the same time, Wang Jundao ordered Nie Yuanzheng to be the commander-in-chief and Pang Wei to be the deputy commander-in-chief, leading the Third Army and the Fourth Army to Ningxia.

Under the oppression of the 100,000-strong army, the Ningxia Admiral wisely chose to surrender, and the 20,000 troops under his command were also incorporated into the Fifth Army Corps, of course, in the end, only more than 11,000 qualified soldiers were obtained, and most of the rest will be converted to military industry.

Ningxia originally nominally belonged to Gansu, but in fact it was an administrative division at the provincial level, that is to say, it nominally belonged to Gansu, but in fact it was at the same level as Gansu and was not under the jurisdiction of Gansu.

After Wang Jundao occupied Ningxia, he did not change the subordination of Ningxia, after all, Ningxia will become a province in the future, and it is just right for him to take the current situation.

At the end of November, the third, fourth, and sixth armies all returned to Xi'an, and the main force of the second army had also returned to Xi'an.

On December 1, Wang Jundao directly ordered the Second Army Corps to stay in Shaanxi, and incorporated all the 60,000 elites recruited from the 90,000 former Shaanxi Army captives into the Second Army Corps, and ordered the implementation of the military regiment system in Shaanxi Province.

Wang Jundao gave the Second Army an upper limit of 200,000 troops, and the original numbers of the fourth, fifth, and sixth divisions remained unchanged, but all of them were expanded to 20,000 divisions.

The two brigades with the most meritorious deeds, the bravest battles, and the fastest marching troops in each division were drawn out and each newly organized into two 15,000-strong B divisions, numbered the 28th and 29th divisions respectively...... The 34th Division, because the establishment of the 22nd to 27th Divisions was given to the 1st Army Corps, and the 35th to 41st Divisions were given to the 5th Army Corps.

For example, Wu Peifu was appointed as the commander of the First Reading Brigade of the Second Army Corps because of his outstanding military achievements, and formed the First Reading Brigade in Hanzhong Prefecture, while Liu Chengxiang was appointed as the commander of the Second Reading Brigade and formed the Second Reading Brigade in Jinzhou (now Ankang City).

In addition, the Second Army Corps, like the First Army Corps and the Fifth Army Corps, has a division directly under it, and the upper limit of the strength of this division is 20,000, with the corps commander concurrently serving as the division commander, the deputy corps commander concurrently serving as the deputy division commander, and the corps chief of staff concurrently serving as the division chief of staff.

Because the Second Army was located in Shaanxi, the maximum number of troops given by Wang Jundao was 200,000; The First Army was located in Shanxi, and the maximum number of troops given by Wang Jundao was 180,000; The Fifth Army was located in Gansu, and the maximum number of troops given by Wang Jundao was 160,000.

In history, the Qin army that unified the six countries, the Han army that defeated Xiang Yu, the Sui army that ended the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Tang army that shocked the four seas, its initial core troops were composed of the children of Guanlong, so since ancient times, there is a saying that those who get Guanlong win the world!

Now that Wang Jundao has occupied the Guanlong area, he naturally wants to make good use of this advantage, he wants to develop the martial arts system to all parts of Guanlong, and spread the martial wind to the mountains and rivers of Guanlong, so that the already elite Guanlong children will be more sophisticated.

Wang Jundao believes that once the development of the martial arts regiment is completed, the elite Guanlong warriors, as long as they receive the most formal modern military training and hold the most advanced weapons, will turn into tigers on the battlefield and become the enemy's nightmare!
