Xuanyu County is in danger! Liaodong is in danger!

The news of the brazen invasion of the Turkic army quickly spread to every corner of the Xia Kingdom with the extensive transportation, and the people of the Xia Kingdom were still immersed in the joy of Goguryeo's annihilation.

Before, the people of Xia were still excited that their country had become a super power, and in their opinion, as long as Xia continued to be strong, no country would dare to bully them, and they were proud to be a Xia people.

But I don't want to be invaded by the most powerful country in the world right now!

Turkic! This is Turkic!

In any Xia country, the people of the country admit that although the current Xia country is strong, it is still inferior to the Turks in its heyday, but when these people learned that the Xia country was invaded by a Turkic army of 100,000, they were still angry.

The Turks have invaded, but where is our army?

Yes, at present, Hu Bingchang is leading tens of thousands of cavalry to fight the Turks, and the Xia army in Liaodong is also trying to defend against the Turkic attack, but what the people of Xia need is to be able to expel the Turks from the territory of Xia as soon as possible.

At present, the number of troops in the country of Xia adds up to hundreds of thousands, but because of the need for Goguryeo siege, most of these troops are infantry and naval troops, and there are only 100,000 cavalry in the whole country of Xia.

Moreover, these cavalry were stationed in Zhenhai, Wanshui, Liaodong and other places, and now there are only tens of thousands of cavalry led by Hu Bingchang on the battlefield of Liaodong, and in the face of the sudden attack of 100,000 cavalry led by Luo Hou, there is still a somewhat irresistible posture.

The thousands of Turkic cavalry attacking Xinfangzi Fort on the shore of the Sumo River did not break through the stockade, and they were defeated by Ji Xiang's troops, who arrived quickly from the other side, but the old man died in the battle in this new home that he had personally selected and built.

An arrow shot by a Turkic retreat pierced his left eye, and the old man was killed on the spot, but he did not fall until he died, and was finally buried by Ji Xiang on a nearby hill, where a lush pine forest accompanied the old man to rest.

After defeating this Turkic cavalry, Ji Xiang had to retreat to the other side, he was currently mainly responsible for the situation on the other side of Sumoshui, and after some persuasion, he quickly returned to the other side of Sumoshui with the remnants of Fangzibao's thousands of people.

He didn't want Ji Xiang's sortie to attack but it attracted the attention of Luo Hou, he thought that if he couldn't attack here in Liaodong, then he could still cross the Su Mo Water and plunder all the way downstream along the difficult water, anyway, the ice on the river surface is so thick!

These Goguryeo people who were in pain of annihilation hated the Xia Kingdom very much, and they also knew more about the development of the Xia Kingdom in the difficult water basin, so the Hou of Chu Luo quickly learned some about the situation of the Xia Kingdom.

However, because of the previous loss of 20,000 people, in order to ensure the smooth attack of the Turkic army, he wrote a letter inviting all the troops to send troops to participate in the raid, so the Turkic coalition army soon increased from 80,000 to 120,000 cavalry.

After gaining strong strength, Chu Luohou led 120,000 Turkic coalition troops to quickly cross the uncivilized Su Mo Water and attack the hinterland of the Xia Kingdom.

Although there were cavalry garrisoned by Ji Xiang's troops on the other side of Sumoshui, and 30,000 National Guard cavalry were drawn from herdsmen along the Nanshui to form a new cavalry army, how could they resist relying on these more than 40,000 newly formed cavalry to fight against as many as 120,000 Turkic coalition forces?

When Wang Ze learned that the Marquis of Chu Luo not only did not retreat, but continued to increase his troops to 120,000 cavalry, and even crossed the Sumo Water into the Nanshui Valley, plundered the wealth of the people of the Xia Kingdom in large quantities, and killed tens of thousands of people who had no time to retreat from the Xia Kingdom, Wang Ze was immediately furious.

In order to defeat the Marquis of Chuluo as soon as possible, Wang Ze ordered an additional 200,000 cavalry to recruit young and strong men who were good at cavalry and archery in all counties across the country to join the army, especially the herdsmen of each county were the first priority to choose the source of soldiers, so the Xia State had to start a new round of war just a few months after the defeat of Goguryeo.

In fact, at this time, it was very simple for the Xia State to add 200,000 new cavalry, and Wang Ze had been laying a solid foundation for the establishment of large-scale cavalry in the future since the founding of the country.

Whether it was the half-tillage and half-pastoralism method practiced and popularized in Jeju Island, or the large-scale animal husbandry production in Taizhou, Whale County, Sakhalin Island and other places, Wang Ze has always worked hard to improve the riding skills of the people under his rule.

In addition, Wang Ze also introduced horsemanship into the basic school education, all students in the Xia Kingdom must learn to ride horses, which was especially welcomed by the students of the Xia Kingdom, with the gradual increase in the number of people in the Xia Kingdom, the later Xia people did not have horses in every family.

In addition, Wang Ze established a large number of war horses in the lion cub camp, white wolf camp, and national guard in each county to train the riding skills of people in various places, and this policy has been implemented on a large scale for at least ten years from the beginning to the present. Let's play

After all these years of perseverance, among the more than 10 million people in the entire Xia Kingdom, there are more than 2 million people who can ride horses or participate in cavalry training, and more than 100,000 people have retired from the cavalry units and the cavalry of the National Guard.

In addition to the people of the Xia Kingdom, there were also a large number of people who could ride horses among the original Goguryeo Han people, and because of the hundreds of years of melee in the Central Plains, many Han people in the Central Plains actually could ride horses, so when Wang Ze announced that he would recruit 200,000 cavalry in one go, he had already recruited the number of people in just over ten days.

Looking at the warm atmosphere of people from all over the country enthusiastically joining the army, it seems that even if Wang Ze establishes a cavalry team of 500,000 people, there is an abundant source of soldiers, all of which makes Wang Ze feel comforted, Xia Guo is no longer something that anyone can bully, and the Turks will be prepared to pay the price if they want to intervene.

It's just that cavalry combat is not finished on horseback, and after being assembled, it is necessary to carry out various formation training, tactical coordination, and wait for the production of horses, riding equipment, and weapons for cavalry, so Wang Ze can only first organize those soldiers who have participated in cavalry units into troops, and then train and recruit those young people who are good at riding horses.

In the face of the attack of the Turks, the Xia country was in full swing, and the people of the counties of Beji and Donghai participated in the cavalry, while the people of Yizhou, Luhan and other Nanyang did not sign up to participate in the war because they were not good at riding, but they did not have the slightest intention of staying out of the matter.

The people of these Nanyang counties raised funds to buy a large number of canned fish, canned meat, and various military war materials to transport to Liaodong, and even some merchants even transported more than a dozen boatloads of tropical fruits in order to let the soldiers eat some fresh fruits.

Originally, Wang Ze ignored the opposition of Liu Xin and others, and insisted on kneading all the Han people from different regions together, because the differences in the customs of these Han people themselves caused a lot of trouble, but when the Turkic army of more than 100,000 invaded, these Han people suddenly found that they could really protect themselves only by uniting.

So some of the contradictions that had just arisen quickly melted away under this kind of thought, and everyone found that many of the things that caused the contradictions were actually not so necessary, so that the Turkic attack made the social integration of the Xia Kingdom greatly improved.

When the supplies transported by the people and merchants of Nanyang were sent to the northern battlefield, Wang Ze also happened to send the first batch of 50,000 cavalry to Ji Xiang.

At this time, in addition to Li Hongyu who had to lead his cavalry to guard Yangwu City in the upper reaches of the water, even the central guard Yulinwei around Wang Ze was also sent over, so that at least 150,000 cavalry of the Xia Kingdom were concentrated on the vast land on the north and south banks of Sumoshui.

In addition to these 150,000 cavalry, Xia Guo also has 150,000 cavalry in training, as long as these cavalry all complete the training, Xia State will have 300,000 cavalry, with these cavalry, plus hundreds of thousands of infantry troops in Xia State, Wang Ze will not be afraid of the Turkic attack at all.

After the Marquis of Chu Luo crossed the Su Mo water to the Nanshui Basin, because it was a place where the Xia Kingdom had been developed for several years, although most of the people living here were mainly animal husbandry, but in the case of the overall wealth of the Xia Kingdom, the Xia herdsmen here were also very rich.

When the Turkic army came here and saw the property left by the people of the Xia Kingdom, Luo Hou couldn't stop it, especially the cavalry that was supplemented later were all cavalry sponsored by other Ye Hu and Tong Jin, and they participated in this military operation to plunder.

If the Marquis of Chu Luo didn't let these people loot some of the wealth back, then there would be no point in people coming here, so the Marquis of Chu Luo had to order to loot here and then continue to attack downstream along the difficult water, but he knew that the further downstream, the richer he became.

This looting found that the Xia Kingdom was too rich, and although the Turkic smelting industry was developed, it was also compared to other steppe tribes, and compared with the extremely developed iron smelting industry of the Xia Kingdom, the Turks were a little inadequate.

Especially from the point of view of the Khitans, Xi people, and Wuluohou people who followed the army this time, the life of the Xia people is so happy, not only there are all kinds of iron products, but there are also iron pots that can cook the size of a calf, and even kitchen knives made of good steel.

Even the Turks who are good at smelting can't make an iron knife per person, let alone use good steel to make kitchen knives, in fact, when the Khitan and Xi people saw that Xia Guo even began to use good steel to make kitchen knives, they already had some regrets in their hearts.

When a country can be extravagant enough to make kitchen knives out of steel, it can only mean that their steel production is very large, which can not only meet the needs of weapons, but can even be used to make civilian goods, so how can the Khitan, which can't even meet the needs of iron weapons, resist.

The Khitan is not as powerful as the Turks, but it borders the Xia State, once the Xia State reacts, wouldn't it be to take revenge on the Khitan?

As a subject country of the Turks, the Khitan actually did not want the Turks to interfere in the war situation in Liaodong, after all, it was good to live alone by listening to her mother-in-law's instructions.

Moreover, the Khitan had ambitions for the land of Liaodong before, so the Khitan had never explained to the Turks the changes that had taken place in Goguryeo, and the Turks had always been attracted by the successive wars in the Central Plains, so they did not know the situation in Liaodong.

Now, if the Marquis of Chu Luo wants to incorporate Liaodong into his territory, then the independent status of the Khitan and Xi people, who are sandwiched between the Turks and Liaodong, will inevitably not be guaranteed.

However, although the two departments knew this, they didn't dare to resist, and Rouran, who was so powerful at the beginning, had perished under the attack of the Turks, so how could they resist?
