10,000 Wuchuan new troops, mighty, marching along the avenue. Everywhere it passed, it raised smoke and dust in the sky, far away like a huge yellow dragon of dozens of zhang, constantly rolling north, and the momentum was extremely powerful.

However, if you get closer and serious, you can find that the equipment of this army is really much shabby than imagined.

The first is horses.

The best cavalry of the Dahao Dynasty can only ride dragon horses.

This type of horse has two horns on the top and bottom of the body, and is covered with fine scales everywhere.

It can travel thousands of miles a day, eat raw flesh and blood, fight tigers and leopards, and has amazing endurance.

If it is one grade worse, use Jiaoma.

This kind of horse travels 800 days a day, and only a few key parts of the body are covered with scales.

One notch worse, it's a wildebeest.

He has a single horn on his head, and there are no scales on his body, so he can only travel 500 miles a day.

As for the worst, it's the average horse.

There are no horns on the top and no scales outside the body.

They eat forage, and if they are not well cared for, they will die of exhaustion in long journeys.

Dragons and horses are hard to find, and Jiaoma is rare.

The ordinary cavalry of the Dahao Dynasty, as well as the cavalry of the Menggu Kingdom, usually used wildebeest.

For ordinary horses, they have never been dismissive.

How many horses can there be in a small county town in Wuchuan County?

Even if he had defeated the two thousand-strong troops of the Menggu Kingdom and captured a lot of horses, the gap was still very large.

Therefore, the whole team now has only more than 6,000 horses.

Many soldiers had to ride in two.

In addition, in terms of weapons and armor, the Wuchuan New Army is also very lacking.

Many of the soldiers even had only a knife and a shield in their hands, and wore only light leather armor on their upper bodies.

The number of bows and arrows is also insufficient.

It's fair to say that this is a ragtag army.

However, in terms of mental state, everyone in the Wuchuan New Army is highly motivated.

Morale is very high.

Because, the north is their homeland.

The fathers and villagers in northern Xinjiang are their family and friends.

This time, they will fight to the death with those hateful barbarians for the sake of their homes and relatives.

A large wagon, walking in the middle of this army.

Inside the carriage, Yan Fulong was sitting cross-legged, his eyes closed, and his luck was adjusted.

Next to him, Wang Xuan was busy pushing the palace blood for him, and he was so busy that beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Xiao Sheng sat on the side, looking at the two of them with concern.

After a long time, Yan Fulong let out a long breath of red turbidity and slowly opened his eyes.

Subconsciously sighed: "What a powerful Tiance Canglong Dao." Your Highness, if you hadn't acted in time, I would have died this time. ”

Xiao Sheng smiled and said, "Don't worry." I'm not going to let anyone else suffer. However, being able to fight with the second brother is also a rare experience for you. In this way, you will be able to know what is going on in the realm above the Great Grandmaster. It can be said to be very beneficial for your future practice. ”

Yan Fulong nodded and sincerely agreed: "Yes." The most important thing is that after appreciating the martial arts momentum of the second prince, even if I meet a similar master next time and use the same momentum to oppress me, I can more or less resist one or two, and I will never be like yesterday, I can only wait to die. ”

"Next time? Do you want to have a next time?"

Wang Xuan sneered: "You are lucky this time, Your Highness came to the rescue in time." If there is a next time, I don't care if you are tied up or resist, the result is no different, and you will only die. ”

Yan Fulong sighed: "I don't want to have a next time." But people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. Things come to the door automatically, can you avoid them by avoiding them alone?"

After a pause, Yan Fulong reached out and patted his friend's shoulder.

said: "Wang Xuan, you also have to step up your efforts." Only by entering the Great Grandmaster realm as soon as possible can you have a little power for self-preservation. Otherwise, people will be swordsmen, and I will be fish and meat, and I will only be slaughtered by others. ”

"Don't drag me into the water, I'm not all the way with you rough people who fight and kill. ”

Wang Xuan dissatisfiedly shook Yan Fulong's hand, shook his head and said, "I'm a doctor, just treat the sick and save people." ”

"Even if you cure diseases and save people, the higher your cultivation, the more people you can save. Therefore, Wang Xuan, you must not relax, you must work hard to cultivate. ”

Xiao Sheng smiled and encouraged: "Actually, it's not that difficult. You've eaten the flesh and blood of spirit beasts, and your foundation has been laid deep enough. The so-called water overflows, and once the time comes, it will naturally be able to break through. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

Wang Xian restrained his cynicism, solemnly took the matter, and nodded in agreement.

He asked again: "Your Highness, if we really go to attack Jiuye in the way we are now, I have only refined more than 6,000 pills in the past few days. In addition, there is a shortage of armor and weapons, and military rations are also limited. If you fight with the fierce ancient thieves of Jiuye...... I'm afraid the odds aren't very good. ”

Xiao Sheng sighed: "I also know this. However, since the second emperor brother said that, I can't refuse it all at once. Otherwise, the fierce ancient thieves haven't fought yet, and their own people will fight first. ”

Wang Xuan snorted disdainfully and said, "This second prince is simply too unremarkable. He actually wanted to come to Wuchuan County to grab credit, but after he failed, he stalked and stalked, where did he have the slightest princely bearing? According to me, His Highness the Fourteenth, we just don't listen to him, and he can't help us. ”

That being said, it is not a good thing that the external enemy has not been eliminated and the internal enemy has not been eliminated. At this time, everything is first focused on the overall situation of driving out the fierce ancient thieves. The rest, we'll talk about that later. ”

Xiao Sheng smiled and said, "As for the credit of killing the left and right military protectors of Menggu, the second emperor brother can't take it away." The eldest brother has already sent a floating airship, day and night, to send the corpses of the left and right military guards back to Luojing. When the court saw two corpses, whose credit should be and whose credit should it be. Rest assured. ”

Yan Fulong frowned and said, "Even so, there are a total of 500,000 Fierce Gu Thieves, and there are at least 200,000 of them distributed on the Jiuye side. We only have 10,000 recruits. This battle...... It's hard to fight. ”

Xiao Sheng was confident and said: "Outside, the king's order is not affected." Although we went to Jiuye, there was no need to directly collide with the main force of the Fierce Ancient Thieves. You can first harass tactics on the periphery and eat a few lone fierce ancient soldiers and horses. Let the soldiers see the blood. Fight to feed the war, and gradually grow. When his strength is stronger, it will not be too difficult to recover Jiuye. ”

Yan Fulong nodded and said, "Your Highness's words are extremely ......."

Before the words fell, suddenly, outside the carriage, there was a commotion.

Immediately afterwards, the horse's hooves moved sharply, and the bowstrings sounded, one after another.

After a while, the noise gradually subsided.

Immediately, someone rode to the side of the carriage and said loudly: "Report to Your Highness, there is a small group of fierce ancient thieves in front of you." The brothers stepped forward to encircle and suppress, but there were no casualties, more than 10 enemies were annihilated, and three ran away. ”

"Huh, there will be a fierce thief so soon?

Xiao Sheng stood up and ordered the coachman to rein in the horses.

Then get out of the carriage.

Yan Fulong and Wang Xuan also followed him closely.

The three of them crossed the crowd and came to the front of the line.

I saw that there were more than a dozen corpses of fierce ancient thieves lying on the ground.

The horses, armor, weapons, bows and arrows they rode on had been stripped away.

Xiao Sheng half-squatted down, pressed the corpse, and nodded: "It's a fierce ancient barbarian." Well, in which direction did they come from? And in which direction did the fleeing ones go?"

There was a soldier of the New Army next to him, and he said loudly: "Report to Your Highness." This group of barbarians came from the southeast. And the rest of them who fled also went to the southeast. ”

"Southeast...... It is the second largest county in Suigui County, Qingheshui County. ”

Xiao Sheng stood up and nodded, "Understood." These barbarians are probably spies sent by the garrison of Qingheshui County. They were short of food, and they didn't have the Wolf Temple priests to help refine the marching pills, so they could only come out and loot. ”

Yan Fulong pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, what should we do?"

Xiao Sheng said categorically: "Don't do it, it's just one word: do! When the brave meet on the narrow road, the brave wins, let's take this opportunity to train the soldiers and horses." ”

Yan Fulong, Wang Xuan, I now order you, line up the whole people, and then follow.

As soon as you receive my signal, immediately catch up and kill the enemy.

”

Yan Fulong and Wang Xuan had solemn faces, and they received their orders awe-inspiringly.

Each went to reorganize the troops.

If nothing else, at least one person and one horse must be achieved.

In this way, when the cavalry runs, there is enough impact.

But it is also a fact that there are not enough horses, so in this battle, in the end, only 6,000 people can go into battle to kill the enemy.

The remaining 4,000 soldiers could only temporarily serve as infantry and do the work of cleaning up the battlefield.

Xiao Sheng believes that Yan Fulong and Wang Xuan are fully capable of arranging these things.

So he didn't hesitate, and immediately set off and galloped away in the southeast direction.

Along the main road, I almost walked more than 30 miles.

Suddenly, at the end of the distant horizon, the sound of horses' hooves came like a dull thunderclap.

As far as the eye could see, there was a huge murderous aura like a tornado hurricane, rushing straight into the sky.

Although this murderous aura cannot be seen by ordinary people, in the eyes of a master like the Fourteenth Prince, there is absolutely nothing to hide.

With a murderous aura alone, you know that the number of people on the opposite side is at least 30,000.

These are the army of tigers and wolves who have fought old battles, and they are fully equipped with armor and horses.

If they go head-to-head, the new army of Wuchuan will definitely not be able to resist the enemy.

I'm afraid that if I am rushed once or twice, the whole army will collapse.

Therefore, the key to the victory or defeat of this battle is still in Xiao Sheng himself.

Taking a deep breath, the Fourteenth Prince jumped onto a small hill next to the main road, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and immediately lined up the fierce ancient thieves, who were densely arranged, advancing in the direction of the new army of Wuchuan.

They were all armed to the teeth on strong wildebeests, dressed in leather armor, with long swords and crossbows.

Xiao Sheng's face sank, and without thinking, he shook his hand casually.

The red light flashed suddenly.

Hao Ri Huangquan and Tiger Spirit, a sword and a sword, were clenched in their hands at the same time.

The Fourteenth Prince then jumped down the mountain, impartially, just in front of the way of the army.

The group of fierce ancient barbarians, suddenly the road was blocked, but the person who came was only alone, not only did they all feel extremely surprised.

They all raised their horsewhips, or drew their sabers, pointed at Xiao Sheng, and shouted and cursed.

The fourteenth prince snorted coldly, raised his sword with both hands at the same time, and shouted: "A thousand swords are not enough to punish thieves, and a hundred swords are not traceable to behead the barbarians." Armed with color ripples, the maximum limit of galloping. Kill!!"
