When the war in the land of Sanqi ignited again in March, the land of Beji, which had just entered spring, once again ushered in a shocking battle!

This is a battle of national fortune between the Turks and the Xia Kingdom, involving countless states, tribes, and nearly 20 million people.

Because the body of the Tubo Khan is seriously ill, the Turks are unable to nominate a coach, and because of the deterioration of the health of the Tubo Khan, this war also has some faint merits who can become the next generation of Turkic Khans, so every Ye Hu and Qi Jin who have ambitions to compete for the position of the Khan are ready to move.

Although everyone hoped that he could become the commander of the army, it was clear that even Tubo Khan knew that this was impossible, so under his orders, the Turkic Yehu and Tong Jin led their own troops, and from north to south, they were mainly divided into four armies to attack the Xia State respectively.

As a result, Ye Hu, who was qualified to lead an army alone, gathered all possible allies in order to further strengthen the strength of their own army.

As early as the middle of the twenty-first year of the summer calendar, the Turkic army was pulled out from the Turkic tent under the Yudujin Mountain, and the northernmost road was dominated by 100,000 Turkic cavalry from the Datouye Protectorate, plus 50,000 Tiele cavalry, 20,000 Khitan cavalry, a total of 170,000 coalition troops, and 30,000 herdsmen accompanying the army.

They will go to attack Yangwu City, which was established by the Xia Kingdom in the upper reaches of the water, and completely pull out the nails established by the Xia Kingdom on the edge of the grassland, and after breaking through the Yangwu City, they will continue to attack the rich Xia City in the upper reaches of the water.

A little further south, is the son of the Dervish Khan, Anluo Yehu, who led 100,000 Turkic cavalry, another 50,000 Tiele cavalry, 20,000 Xi cavalry, these 170,000 troops are responsible for attacking the land of Xia in the Beinanshui Valley, and there are also 50,000 herdsmen driving cattle and sheep to accompany them.

Obviously, Tubo Khan is robbing his son of war merit, after all, there is no city in the Xia Kingdom in the North Difficult Water Basin.

The herdsmen of the Xia Kingdom who originally lived here had already retreated to the inland areas downstream of Jiangzhou City, and the number of Xia troops stationed here was very small, and this place had been abandoned by the Xia army in fact.

Compared to the overall strength of Anluo Yehu, as well as his route of march, the road that the son of the Khan of Yixi was in charge of was much more difficult.

He was not only responsible for raiding the Sumoshui Basin, but also responsible for attacking many areas on the south bank of Nanshui, especially the armies of the Xia State in the Nanshui Basin were mainly stationed on the south bank of Nanshui, and most of the cities built by the Xia State in the Nanshui Basin were also built on the south bank of Nanshui.

It's already March, and although the ice in the Nanshui basin has not yet been civilized, it can no longer carry a large number of people and horses to cross, and the lessons of Luo Hou are still vivid.

Therefore, he could not get the support of the army of Anluo Yehu on the north bank, and in order to increase the rationality of his success, he recruited his younger brother Chu Luohou to join his team, and the two together also had 150,000 Turkic cavalry.

Compared with the previous three-way men and horses with a total strength of only about 100,000 cavalry, the strength in the hands of Da Luo, the son of the Wooden Pole Khan, is much stronger.

He not only controls 150,000 Turkic cavalry, but even 100,000 Tiele cavalry, and his strength is not weak.

Therefore, the place where Daluo wants to attack is also the most difficult to attack, that is, the cities of Liaodong that are full of cities.

However, Da Luo has no objection to this arrangement!

In his opinion, where there are many cities, it means that there is more population and more wealth, so that hundreds of thousands of Turkic and Tiele armies have the motivation to fight, and if there is nothing to grab, then why are these hundreds of thousands of troops here?

Therefore, in Da Luo's eyes, this is the place he should conquer the most, and he intends not only to capture all the cities in Liaodong, but also to attack all the way south to those places south of Yalushui, where he knows that there are more Han people and more wealth.

In mid-March, the steppes and the land of Beji were already covered with tender green grass shoots, but in this vast land suddenly appeared four broad black marks, which had been destroyed by the passing Turkic army, and the subsequent herds of cattle and sheep.

The great migration of millions of people, as well as a considerable number of cattle and sheep used as military food, are only comparable to the migration of wild animals on the African savannah in later generations, or the migration tide of American bison herds at this time, but this is definitely not a good thing for Xia Guo.

In the face of the unprecedented large-scale attack of the Turks, how could Wang Ze not know this, in the past, he had already planned to start a war with the Turks, but originally he planned to meet the Turks again after a few years of development, so the war at this time was inevitably so many years earlier. Three k

Although Wang Ze had some worries in his heart, he was still determined to completely defeat the Turks, only by defeating the Turks, Xia could become the first power in the world, and if he fought in the future, he could even surrender without a fight.

Faced with the threat of a million-strong Turkic army, Wang Ze not only expanded the cavalry from the original 300,000 to 500,000 cavalry again, successively added four cavalry corps, and even further increased the infantry army from the original 180,000 to 300,000.

The original four infantry corps were divided into two by Wang Ze, half of which was sent by Jiang Chuan, Xu Ning, and Zheng Kui to rescue Wang Yong, and the other half was to go to the front line with the Blue Wolf Army and the Central Protector Army to block the Turks.

Thanks to the adjutant system in the past, the Xia army has long cultivated a large number of reserve officers, and this time after the army was greatly expanded, with these generals who had been cultivated by many wars as the main generals, and a large number of grassroots officers trained by various military academies, the Xia army had an army of millions in one fell swoop.

Although there were often famous generals in the past who said, 'Soldiers are not expensive', but in Wang Ze's view, that is really something that can only be done under the way, as long as you have the ability, you must use the most troops to overturn the opponent to the ground in one fell swoop, how much strength you have.

For the four-way army of the Turks, in fact, Wang Ze was not very worried about attacking the Turkic army in the direction of Liaodong and the Nanshui Valley, after all, there are many mountains in this direction of Liaodong, and there are a large number of cities to defend, so the Turks seem to have more than 200,000 cavalry and 100,000 herdsmen, but it is actually very difficult to break through the defense line here.

Of the more than 300,000 Turkic troops in the Nanshui Basin, Wang Ze can even abandon Jiangzhou City, retreat hundreds of miles in one go, and use the mountains on both sides of the downstream to rely on the terrain to defend, even if there are more than 300,000 Turkic troops here, but the Xia army can still hold it.

In addition, at this time, seeing that the difficult water is about to be civilized, when the difficult water is completely dissolved by ice and snow, the Xia army's naval army can go upstream, and then the Turkic army will be completely cut off from the connection between the north and the south, and Wang Ze can even concentrate his forces to eliminate one of them.

The only thing that worried Wang Ze was the army of Datou Yehu who attacked Yangwu City!

Yangwucheng was originally only garrisoned by the Fifth Cavalry Army led by Li Hongyu, and Li Hongyu still lacked command of the large corps, and he must be powerless in the face of a Turkic army of nearly 200,000 people.

Even though there were still more than 40,000 people stationed around Yangwu City, the newly formed Fifth Infantry Army Yu Feng's headquarters, the number of the Turkic army was still more than twice the number of the Xia army.

You must know that since the establishment of Yangwu City, the development of the upper reaches of the Xia Kingdom has increased a lot, from the Mingtong River along the north bank of the river to the Yongding City (Hailan Pao) at the mouth of the Jieya River, along the way are the more densely populated areas of the Xia Kingdom.

And after coming from Yangwu City, hundreds of miles downstream is a large open plain, once the Turks break through Yangwu City, there is no natural danger to defend in the upper reaches of Wanshui, and the population of Xia Kingdom is relatively dense along the way, so it is impossible to retreat in time.

In order to ensure the safety of Yangwu City, after careful consideration, Wang Ze finally decided to send 50,000 cavalry of the newly formed Sixth Cavalry Army Han Zigao to Yangwu City.

When Han Zigao was in Nanchen in the past, he had tens of thousands of cavalry under his command, and when he was in Nanchen in the past, he commanded more than 100,000 troops. He is a talent who can be a manager.

Therefore, this time he not only had to support Yangwu City, but also shouldered the responsibility of becoming the commander-in-chief of this road, so that the Xia army in the direction of Yangwu City would have 140,000 people, which could more or less resist the offensive of the Turks.

In addition to the millions of troops that have been mobilized in the current Xia Kingdom, a national guard of millions of people has been formed in various counties, and in addition, all the old and weak and even women have begun to receive some new weapons.

This kind of weapon is the fire gun that Wang Ze began to ponder after making a large amount of black powder, but unfortunately because Wang Ze himself is a military blind, he can only point out theoretically, and the fire gun made by the Xia State with a machine can only fire about thirty steps, and the power beyond twenty steps is very unsatisfactory.

This time, the Turks invaded with millions of people, and although there were large armies in front of them, there were inevitably some small Turkic troops sneaking in from the front to the rear to harass them, so it was necessary to rely on the strength of the National Guard and even the people themselves.

Although the women of the Xia Kingdom fell into the name of a female tiger in the East China Sea, after getting a large number of immigrants from the Central Plains and the original Goguryeo Han people, the women of the Xia Kingdom were only a few in martial arts after all, and they were far inferior to the soldiers in both physical strength and other aspects.

If they were given bows and crossbows, they would not be able to use all their strength in a few times, but this immature musket could shoot indefinitely, and as long as the women hid in their homes and kept shooting with the muskets, the small group of Turkic soldiers could not hurt them at all.

At first, the people of Xia were very dismissive of this kind of firecracker, which could only shoot twenty or thirty paces, but after the soldiers demonstrated how to use firearms to penetrate the two-inch-thick pine planks ten paces away, the people of Xia Kingdom quickly became interested in this weapon.

If there is such a weapon, even a child of five or six years old in the family can kill a strong Turkic soldier, so that when they are not at home, the old and young people in the family have the ability to protect their own safety, so in just ten days, the people of Xia bought millions of firecrackers at cost price.
