The next battle was mainly for the competition for water sources, there are only a few water sources in the desert of Ningxia, and now they are occupied by the Ming army, and there is no water supply in the scorching summer, and this battle cannot be fought at all.

The cowardly Xue army is the elite of the Western Xia army, what they are best at is to fight in the absence of logistical supplies, there is no food to collect on the spot, no drinking water can drink mare's milk and even drink horse blood, but in this desert, there is no way to collect grain and grass, it is unrealistic to drink mare's milk, where does the mare not drink water, where does the milk come from, the horse blood is hot, can only cope with emergencies, can not drink this all day, and the transport team from Ningxia City is also attacked and harassed by the Ming army rangers from time to time, and can not guarantee the supply of grain and grass drinking water for tens of thousands of troops in front of them.

After collecting a part of the army, Gu Lunmu decided to concentrate his forces on attacking the nearest water source, although the Ming army had strong firepower, but it had to be integrated to be useful, and the stronghold held by hundreds of people and several ironclad steam chariots could not resist the attack of the cavalry.

The battle went smoothly, seeing the overwhelming Western Xia army, the Ming army withdrew after a few cannons, and the dry mouth of the Western Xia army finally got a water source, the soldiers rushed towards the pond, and even the war horses that smelled the water vapor neighed wildly, and they wanted to drink the reins.

Gu Lunmu was also dry mouth, but he still maintained a clear mind, ordered everyone not to drink water, with a few horses to test whether there was poison in the water first, the war horse did not have any unusual reaction after drinking water, Gu Lunmu then put his mind at ease, let the army take water to drink, this small pond but half a day into a swamp, less water, more people, so many Mongolian soldiers would rather not drink water first, but also feed the war horses, and wait for the war horses to drink enough before taking a sip to moisten their lips.

But what I didn't expect was born, the first few horses to drink water suddenly rolled all over the ground, neighed wildly, and after a while, they foamed at the mouth and died, and the Western Xia army was shocked! In the end, there is still poison in this water, but the effect of the medicine is a little slower.

Pity thousands of horses did not die on the battlefield, but died under the poison of the Han people, the knights who lost their horses were angry and their eyes were about to erupt with fire, the Mongolians love horses and worship horses, and they are more serious than their wives for their mounts, and watching the painful death of their horses is really more painful than digging their hearts, and some people roared on the spot to take revenge, but they were forcibly suppressed by Gu Lunmu.

Gu Lunmu is not like a knife, but as a general, he is responsible for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers under his hands, he is responsible for the mission given to him by His Majesty the Emperor, and the cavalry who has lost his war horse is not as useful as the infantry, and there is no supply of food, grass and clear water, and the confrontation with the Ming army armed to the teeth is equivalent to death, so he resolutely ordered: retreat to Ningxia City.

Liu Ziguang implements all-round drum three-dimensional combat, he knows the weakness of his army in the field, and the small-scale troops are definitely not the opponent of others if they go head-to-head, so they must make full use of their strengths and avoid weaknesses, wield their firepower advantage and information advantage, with the airship and radio command in the sky, he can detect the enemy's coordinates at any time, and use the radio to direct his mechanized troops to strike, and the radius of activity of all troops is within the observation range of the airship, heavy artillery and power parafoil can be supported at any time, the whole army is like a well-tuned large war machine, with overwhelming momentum to roll forward slowly, the Western Xia army has never seen this kind of fighting, fear comes from the unknown, after a few days of fighting, even an enemy's head was not chopped, even the most resolute and fierce Mongolian athlete couldn't help but be stunned.

The Western Xia army took advantage of the night to retreat, but the Ming army did not chase after them, but sent some power parachutes to throw some bombs on the heads of these unlucky children, urging them to run away quickly.

In this battle, more than 10,000 enemy troops were annihilated, hundreds of horses were captured, countless heavy swords and guns were captured, and the most important thing was to completely defeat the enemy's arrogance, panic, and naturally spread from those defeated soldiers to the entire Hui region and even the entire Western Xia, and the cowardly Xue army, which was known as more than 10,000 and was invincible in the world, was defeated so badly, and the situation in the future can be imagined.

But Liu Ziguang did not order to be pulled out immediately, but stood by and waited for supplies, in fact, these days he is also pinching a handful of sweat, if this battle with the Manchu Qing on the first day, the winner will be divided, but the Western Xia people have been entangled for several days, and if this continues, the ammunition and coal will run out, there is no advanced firearms and chariots to support, relying only on bayonets and bows and arrows in front of the cowardly Xue army, I am afraid that it will not last a few rounds, it is precisely because of this that Liu Ziguang resorted to the trick of poisoning, using the poison of Huangshi Zhenren to destroy an oasis, and in the battle, he did not hesitate to use ammunition to create the illusion that the enemy had enough ammunition, which forced back Gu Lunmu。

The Red Shirt Army spent a lot of money in the war, the artillery shells used were steam chariots transported from the Liguo Iron Works across thousands of rivers and mountains, the coal burned was the white coal in Shanxi, the canned military rations were the products of the Shanghai Meilin Food Factory, and the army spent tens of thousands of dollars of silver on every mile of advance on average, this is the army in the era of industrialization, although it consumes a lot, but the combat effectiveness is stronger, in the face of the cowardly Xue Army, the king of the cold weapon era, the Red Shirt Army can actually annihilate the opponent's 10,000 people at the cost of almost zero casualties.

The Ningxia Desert Battle with Hui'an Fort as the core fell in the eyes of Princess Xiangxiang and the eyes of the Hui people from beginning to end, they were completely shocked by this devastating lethality, and the Hui camp was discussing the Han cannons and ironclad chariots all night, dreaming that they could also have such weapons.

Huo Lingyao thought about something else, the Han people were strong, the revenge plan of the Hui tribe was naturally not a problem, but the ideal of building the country had become slim, she originally imagined this, and so on with the help of the Han people's power to expel the Mongols, quickly expand the army, strengthen their own army, with the advantage of the geographical advantage and the Han occupation army, and finally expel them, it is a big deal, sign a treaty, pay tribute to thousands of good horses every year, as for the relatives, it is just a delaying tactic, and then there is naturally a way to shirk it, but according to the current situation, all this has become a bubble, the Han people are too strong, as long as they are willing to forcibly occupy the Hui is not impossible, in this case, they can only pin their hopes on the unification of the Han peopleShuai Liu Ziguang was on his body, and only by persuading him to return to the ministry could he have any hope of building a country.

Liu Ziguang's deeds are well-known in the Central Plains, but not many people know about them in the Hui Department, Huo Lingyao saw Liu Ziguang for the first time, saw this person so young, and arbitrarily thought that he was a little white face with no real skills, not only had no ability, but also liked to mess with flowers and grass, so that people (Dong Xiaowan) chased him to his home, it was out of consideration for Liu Ziguang's lust, Huo Lingyao threw out the strategy of harmony, using himself as bait in exchange for the assistance of the Ming army, when Liu Ziguang agreed, Huo Lingyao was relieved, and added a point of contempt for this person.

It wasn't until Liu Ziguang educated Huo Lingyao on the principle of the steam engine that Princess Xiangxiang had a little bit of a good feeling for him, this guy still had a little skill in addition to messing with flowers and grass to please the little girl, and after the Battle of Hui'anbao, the good impression was magnified a little, after all, since ancient times, beauties love heroes, Liu Ziguang commanded 3,000 men and horses, and broke 40,000 Western Xia troops, this kind of record, no matter who comes to comment, can only give a thumbs up and can't say half a word.

Huo Lingyao, like other Hui people, likes the weapons of the Han people very much, and is also very interested in their arrangement and command strategy, so he always runs into Liu Ziguang's handsome account every once in a while, Liu Ziguang always takes the trouble to answer her all kinds of childish questions, and will also invite her to eat canned fruit and wash her face with water, in this desert where materials are scarce, there is nothing more than delicious snacks and clear washing water to tempt a greedy little girl, so even if she deliberately retains a precaution in her heart, in fact, the ice in the little girl's heart has begun to dissolve。

The shells and bullets of the Red Shirts and the coal burned were almost consumed, so they were suspended on the front line of Hui'an Fort and waited for supplies, in just a few days, Huo Lingyao ran to Liu Ziguang's tent dozens of times, each time he came back with a bag of snacks and a white and clean face.

In the eyes of the Hui people, Princess Xiangxiang and Meng Dan were born as a pair of golden boys and girls who returned to Xinjiang, if it weren't for the war, maybe the two would have gotten married, and now Meng Dan is angry because of Princess Xiangxiang's close to the Han people, but what Princess Xiangxiang did is also bitter, and the people have put themselves on the Han people every day in order to return to the ministry, and they must be just false and wronged, at this time, Meng Dan should understand rather than blame.

Princess Xiangxiang was very aggrieved, she went to Liu Ziguang every day just to ask for some scientific knowledge and the principles of hot weapon warfare, and there was nothing like me, me, or anything else, but in Meng Dan's mouth, she changed her taste, saying that she was greedy for glory and wealth, and forgot the great cause of the founding of the Hui Ministry, Huo Lingyao was also a stubborn temper, and simply did not defend it, which made Meng Dan even more angry, and dozens of young men who supported him were also angry, and threatened to pull out the team and go back alone, and the team of more than 300 people in the Hui Department was also facing a split.

The situation in the Huibu camp reached Liu Ziguang's ears without leakage, and he just smiled sinisterly, disturbing the unity of the Huibu camp, isn't it his purpose.

After a few days, the artillery shells and grain were transported to the army, and finally the camp was raised, and after half a month of construction, the lonely Hui'an Fort in the past has become a large city with dozens of loess rammed fortresses and three moats, and from then on it will gradually evolve into an important transit station on the road leading to Guanzhong in the Hetao area.
