Wrapped in leather jackets and tied up with their hair tied up, the cavalry of the Murwei tribe suddenly stepped forward.

The cavalry of the Murwei Division, which grows on all sides of Kulunbo, chases water and grass all year round and lives, endures bitter cold, and the warriors in its clan are very strong.

Their drums were painted with white swans, so they claimed to be the descendants of the white swans. At present, they saw the Khitan army in front of them, which was defeated by the Wansheng army, and in order to protect the Khitan Khan Daxu, his subordinates led the Murwei cavalry with five divisions to kill.

On the right side of the cavalry of the Wansheng Army, there is a water depression, which is a common scenery in the grassland.

When the snow melts during the season, countless small rivers are often formed, which become wider and shallower and shallower until they disappear into the grasslands without a trace.

This watery depression is formed by melting snow and ice.

The cavalry of the Murwei tribe sprang over the water depression, and the fast horses galloped past, and the muddy water splashed.

A large force of the Murwei cavalry waded through the water, and the momentum was extremely pressing.

On the other side, it was rare for the other party to attack the flank of the Wansheng army, and at that moment he also led the soldiers in the tribe to cover the flank of the Wansheng army.

In the face of a large force of the cavalry of the Murwei Division, Xiao Erhan led his 2,000 soldiers and launched a counter-charge against it.

The cavalry of the Murwei tribe wielded huge maces and bones, while the two thousand soldiers of Yan Ye's division wielded scimitars.

The two sergeants were lined up in a dense formation, each roaring like two iron-cast walls, colliding head-on, unavoidable.

The warriors of both armies looked at the hideous faces of the enemy, getting closer and closer to them, and at this moment they could not escape. Don't be afraid, but stare into each other's eyes. Try to find a trace of fear in the other person's eyes.

The two sides collided head-on in the water depression.

Blood suddenly bloomed, and the sheepskin jacket on the body of the Murowei cavalry was cut by the scimitar for a moment, and the white wool and blood were sprinkled together, and the limbs were cut off.

The mace of the cavalry of the Murwei tribe is also an extraordinarily powerful weapon, so relying on the rod brute force. It is also the best weapon to charge and kill immediately. Under such a big stick, the person who is in charge will be killed immediately.

This round of contact between the two armies was a mess of dead and wounded, and the corpses of war horses and cavalry were piled up in water puddles.

The cavalry of Yan Yelie's division was protected by leather armor and iron armor, and the casualties were slightly better, but the cavalry of the Murowei division was not afraid of death. Succession after succession.

The fighting between the two armies was extremely tragic.

On both flanks of the army, the Inghefu and Eto tribes also fought against the current enemy army, and nearly 10,000 cavalry of the Ting tribe were also engaged in battle.

Wave after wave of horns sounded.

The 8,000 cavalry of the Inhephthor tribe saw the enemy approaching, and they all took up their positions. The soldiers hid behind the horses, directly with the bow on the horseback, dismounted to control the bow, the bow and crossbow were fired, and the arrows were all shรจ.

It was the first time that the cavalry of the Clan's tribe had seen a bow and crossbow of such power. At the moment, it was shรจ to turn people on their backs.

Inghefer took the opportunity to lead five hundred iron-clad horsemen to counterattack. Directly cut down several generals of the Fei Clan. The battle of the Xia tribe was unfavorable, and a Khitan cavalry could only rush to support.

And the 8,000 cavalry of Eto are also on par with the current more than 20,000 cavalry of the Xi clan and the combined cavalry of Murowei.

Oga Tara watched the battle on all roads, and his left and right flanks could not make progress.

However, at present, Wang Junkuo's Wansheng army is very fast, and it has broken two formations in a row, and tens of thousands of Khitan cavalry have been defeated.

Even Fang Cai's son Dahe Mohui, personally led the most elite Khitan 3,000, selected by the eight brave men to ride out of the Khitan white.

After only a few moments of resistance, he was beaten by the skillful tactics of the Wansheng Army, and suffered heavy casualties, with more than 200 casualties. The Great Agamo Society could only withdraw the Khitan white cavalry from the battlefield and rebuild it at the foot of a hill, so that its combat strength could be restored.

At this moment, even the Great Grega Duluo and the Great Grebe had to admit that they were at the disadvantage of the Sui people even in the plain decisive battle and cavalry duel that the Khitan was best at.

This cavalry team, which was formed by the Han and Sui people, not only absorbed the brave and good fighting of the grassland army, but also combined the rigorous organization and sophisticated equipment of the Han people.

The Khitans, who refused to accept defeat lightly, even if they were unwilling, now had to admit that their cavalry was far behind, and there were only the descendants of wolves on the grassland, and the Turkic cavalry was probably the opponent of this cavalry.

Dahe Duluo was unwilling to admit this, but Wang Junkuo's Wansheng army was one step closer to the Khitan Khan's Daxu.

The Khitan cavalry was still resisting desperately, launching wave after wave of futile offensives against the position of the Wansheng army.

Seeing that the clansmen continued to die in battle, at this moment, Dahe Duluo could only grit his teeth and ordered Da Xuan to retreat in order to temporarily avoid the edge of the Wansheng army.

Youjing, Linshuo Palace.

The rain poured down, and the drainage in the palace was so poor that it flooded several feet. The palace maids could only take copper basins and clay pots to scoop water and drain water.

Zhao Heran, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, who was responsible for supervising the construction of the Linshuo Palace, saw this scene, but cold sweat seeped up, and the matter of supervising the construction of the Linshuo Palace was unexpectedly secret, which really embarrassed him.

However, Zhao Heran was secretly glad that King Zhao had no time to deal with this matter now.

Listening to the news from the Linshuo Palace, King Zhao and Wen Yanbo Zhongshu Province several officials, as well as the left and right servants of Shangshu, and the Hubu Shangshu have been discussing for several days.

Just as the historian said with a stroke of his pen that tens of thousands of troops would be dispatched, how many heroic the enemy would be broken, but he did not see the supply logistics behind the tens of thousands of troops.

In order to complete the supply of 100,000 hussars for the expedition to Mobei, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only won this decisive battle by sending hundreds of thousands of infantry and 140,000 horses to transport grain and grass for thousands of miles.

The 40,000 armies of Wang Junkuo, Eto, and Ying Hefu were all cavalry, and each horse was an auxiliary horse, and there was plenty of food and grass.

But the follow-up Xue Wanche and Guo Xiaoke went north on both roads, most of them were infantry troops, and the money and grain had to be transported by grain trucks. Although it is not as good as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's expedition to Mobei, it is only the area of Wuhou and Qinshui in front of him, but this supply line is almost critical, and Zhao State's current national strength can bear it.

At present, three men in the hall dressed in civilian clothes walked up to the main hall.

The official of the inner court on the side said: "King Qiqi, these three are the shopkeeper Xue of Yongheng Grain Shop, the manager of Qingfeng Chamber of Commerce Xu, and the shopkeeper of Zhangjiami Shop. โ€

The three of them knelt down together and said, "Meet King Zhao." โ€

Sitting on the top, Li Chongjiu said: "No courtesy." โ€

After thanking the three of them together, they got up, and Li Chongjiu said: "The army is alone in Mobei, and the army is out on the battlefield, suffering from lack of food and grass. As far as Lone knows, Zhuo County has one prefecture and three counties of grain and rice, and the three of you are one of them. Therefore, I beg you for some grain and rice, so as to relieve your urgent needs. โ€

The three of them glanced at each other, and the shopkeeper Xue of Yongheng Grain Store stepped forward and said, "Back to King Zhao, have the three of us missed paying the city tax?" โ€

Li Chongjiu frowned slightly, and said: "The three are innocent businessmen, and they have not missed the payment of market tax. โ€

Shopkeeper Xue said: "Since there is no omission to pay the city tax, then dare to ask King Zhao if the supply of grain and grass by this army is not the duty of our rice merchants?" โ€

As soon as the words fell, the people present all looked sideways. (To be continued......)
