The Great Xia army rested for a long time, and in the evening, Chen Mu once again ordered the siege of the city.

At this time, a group of Persian soldiers opened the city gate inside, and the Great Xia army then took Dongping City lightly.

Chen Mu left a thousand reserve troops to sort out the affairs of the city with the new Persian king, and then led the army himself and continued to move forward.

Outside this city, Chen Mu saw the Xiqiang army again.

The Bactrian army lined up outside the city, guarded by Persian soldiers, while the Western Qiang army rode horses in the distance and did not attack directly.

Chen Mu asked people to come forward and shout, and there were guards at the head of the city who scolded back. After scolding each other for a while, Chen Mu smiled.

"The former king of Persia is not in the city, and it seems that the Xiqiang army has lost confidence."

Zhang Zhong: "They don't dare to attack? ”

Chen Mu nodded, "That's right, they must want to wait for us to attack the city, and then harass and weaken our military strength on the side." ”

Zhang Zhong: "Then what should we do?" ”

Chen Mu: "The old way, ignore them." ”

After speaking, Chen Mu ordered the siege of the city. The Invincible Flying Army and the Wudang Flying Army rushed directly over, suppressing the head of the city with their crossbows while erecting a ladder to ascend the city.

The reservists pressed into formation, and the cavalry stood guard on both sides.

As soon as the Great Xia army attacked here, the Western Qiang army came over.

As soon as Chen Mu saw that the Xiqiang army was coming, he ordered a change of formation, and the soldiers of the invincible flying army set up their shields and put up a defensive formation against the Xiqiang army, and the Wudang flying army continued to attack the city.

And the Xiqiang army did not change, and still came towards the military formation of Great Xia.

As soon as Chen Mu saw that the Xiqiang army was about to arrive, he ordered the cavalry to attack. The Xiqiang army was already very close to the Great Xia army, and it was too late to turn around, so it could only be divided into two teams, one team fired arrows at the invincible flying army, and the other team fired arrows at the Great Xia cavalry.

The arrows clanged against the shields of the invincible flying army, and occasionally a few passed through the gaps in the shields, but with little effect.

And the Great Xia cavalry also picked up the crossbow and shot at the Western Qiang army, thousands of crossbow arrows fell, and the Western Qiang army fell countless times.

The Great Xia cavalry finally hit the Xiqiang army.

Seeing that this was not going to work, the Western Qiang army launched an attack on the reserve army of Great Xia, and they saw very clearly that the rear of Great Xia was the same as that of Persia, all of them were new soldiers.

However, the equipment of the Great Xia Reserve Army is also good.

Chen Mu gave an order, and the Great Xia Reserve Army raised its shield and formed a defensive formation in the face of the Xiqiang Army.

The Xiqiang army rushed over and released two rounds of feather arrows, but it had no effect, and was almost caught up by the Great Xia cavalry.

This time, the Xiqiang army did not get closer, so they wandered not far away, firing arrows at the Great Xia cavalry.

Chen Mu ordered another change, allowing the cavalry to retreat behind the infantry. The Western Qiang army had no choice, and it was ineffective to attack the infantry with shields, so they could only circle around the army formation of the Great Xia army.

When they reached the other side, the Invincible Flying Army lowered its shield and began to attack the city, replacing it with the Invincible Flying Army to defend it.

The Western Qiang army went around and around without any success, while the Great Xia army had already broken through Dongping City.

The Western Qiang army could only retreat.

Chen Mu once again left a thousand reserve troops, and then marched towards the next city. Chen Mujun took two cities in a row, and this time the Xiqiang army didn't even show his face.

Chen Mu knew that the Western Qiang army had abandoned these cities in eastern Persia and wanted to decide the victory on the plain between the national capital and the east.

But Chen Mu was not worried, because he had already thought of a countermeasure.

Chen Mu sent a large number of cavalry, increased the scope of exploration, and after determining the approximate location of the Xiqiang army, he led an army of 10,000 to advance.

After entering the plain, the Xiqiang army really attacked.

Although the Xiqiang army knows that this is not the entire military strength of Great Xia, it can't manage so much, and it is good to be able to destroy some of them.

After all, now there are only 4,000 left of the 5,000 Xiqiang army, and it is unrealistic to want to completely annihilate the Great Xia army in one battle.

As soon as Chen Mu saw the arrival of the Xiqiang army, he immediately ordered the whole army to enter the defensive formation, raised his shield and did not move.

The Xiqiang army rode over, but they didn't dare to approach, so they released arrows at the maximum range. The Great Xia army could only be beaten, but there was not much damage.

After a few rounds of shooting, the footsteps of the army were heard from the north.

It's the Invincible Flying Army coming.

What Chen Mu led this time was just the Wudang Flying Army and the Reserve Army.

The Xiqiang army looked like an infantry, and they did not panic, but they were very happy. Because they can run at any time, and the infantry must not be able to protect themselves so well when they are moving.

The Xiqiang army rushed towards the invincible flying army, and then the invincible flying army, under the command of Zhang Zhong, stood still and put up a defensive formation.

The Xiqiang army released a few rounds of arrows, and hundreds of invincible flying soldiers fell, but the army formation did not move.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves was heard not far away.

Before setting off, the Great Xia cavalry tied cloth on the hooves of their horses, so when they were discovered by the Xiqiang army, they were already very close.

The Xiqiang army did not expect this, so they had to retreat to the other side, and fired arrows at the Great Xia army as they ran.

Chen Mu and Zhang Zhong commanded the infantry to advance forward, compressing the living space of the Xiqiang army. On the other side, another Great Xia cavalry arrived, and the Xiqiang army saw that it could not break through, so it could only turn around again and advance towards the gap in the Great Xia army.

At this moment, suddenly many horses of the Western Qiang army fell to the ground and threw the cavalry to the ground.

Only then did the Xiqiang army realize that there was something more on the ground at some point.

This is Chen Mu's secret weapon, thistle.

The last time I fought Dongyue, because there was no thistle, I temporarily replaced it with a nail board, but the effect was not very good, and then Chen Mu learned a lesson, and this time he brought a lot.

Just now, when the Xiqiang army was not nearby, Chen Mujun scattered a large area of thistle.

Although the strength of the Great Xia army was not enough to encircle the Xiqiang army, it was enough to add these thistles terrestris.

The Xiqiang army had already begun to panic, they originally thought that they would not be surrounded, but they didn't expect Chen Mu to have such a hand.

In desperation, the Western Qiang army could only attack the infantry of the Great Xia army, trying to penetrate the military formation.

However, the Great Xia army was well-equipped, while the Xiqiang army did not even have a single battle armor, and as soon as it entered the infantry phalanx, it was cut to pieces, and the legs of horses and men were scattered all over the place.

An hour later, Chen Mu's army annihilated more than 4,000 people in the Western Qiang army.

Chen Mu walked to a corpse, picked up a riding bow, and played with it in his hand.

This kind of riding bow is different from the longbow in the Great Xia army, it is very short, but the elastic power is much greater than the longbow of the Great Xia army, so the range is not short.

This riding bow is great for use on horseback and can also be hung directly around the neck, which is very convenient.

When you arrive in Xiqiang, you must find this raw material and master the production method of this riding bow. Chen Mu thought so.

Now that the Persian army and the Xiqiang army have been completely annihilated, and only one of the former Persian kings who has fled remains, things will be easy to do.

Chen Mu led his troops to push over one city after another, and at the same time carried out policy propaganda to reiterate the benefits of the subject country.
