The Northwest Lands.

The junction of the Great Qi court and the barbarian border.

Woo woo, woo woo, woo woo.

Suddenly, the desolate and low horn sounded, and the barbarian army suddenly surged with men and horses, and tens of thousands of cavalry galloped past the rear of the barbarian camp, like a black tide, rushing towards the camp of the Daqi border army.

Strongbow!

Blazing Horses!

Brute!

The tens of thousands of barbarian cavalry rushed in, the momentum was huge, as if between heaven and earth, there was only the roaring sound of the barbarian warriors, since the barbarian army and the northwest frontier army elite confrontation, this is the first time that the barbarians have dispatched such a large-scale cavalry, which also illustrates a signal:

The barbarian army wants to storm it!

The implication here is obvious, the barbarians want to seek a decisive battle.

In fact, the barbarian commander really wants to seek a decisive battle, but he also knows that the elite of the border army is very strong, even if it is a barbarian warrior, it is not bad, but if it is really hard to meet the elite of the border army, I am afraid that the barbarian warriors will not be able to please him, and the final result is only to kill a thousand enemies and hurt himself.

In the end, there will be significant losses on both sides.

This situation is actually something that the barbarian commander does not want to see, maybe the combat effectiveness of the barbarian army will be slightly stronger, but the barbarians also have their own shortcomings:

The barbarians are located in the harsher north, and although the people are fierce, the population is small.

They lost 10,000 troops, and if they wanted to replenish it, they would spend more effort, unlike the Great Qi Imperial Court, even if the army really suffered tens of thousands of casualties, as long as the structure was still there, they could quickly recruit troops and fill the vacancy.

Therefore, although the barbarians like to attack the Great Qi court and want to plunder more supplies here, in fact, they are extremely protective of their own army and rarely fight real tough battles with the northwest border army.

Even if it is a tough battle, it is mostly to use the advantage of cavalry to fight more and less.

The drought in the northwest also made the barbarian life difficult, and the barbarians naturally meowed their eyes to the side of Daqi again, but the border army of Daqi reacted quickly and immediately sent a large army to confront the main force of the barbarians.

At the beginning, the barbarian commander was not in a hurry, he only sent a small number of troops to fight with the Great Qi border army every day, he was waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the elite of the Great Qi border army to have a problem, at that time, it was the moment when he attacked with all his strength, and then defeated the elite of the 100,000 border army in front of him in one fell swoop.

The barbarian commander has fought many battles with the Great Qi court, and he is very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of the Great Qi court, knowing that although the Great Qi border army is strong, the commander of the Great Qi army is also very wise, but the people of the Great Qi court are particularly fond of infighting, and the civil and military generals restrain each other, unlike the situation where he makes a decision here, the commander of the Great Qi border army on the opposite side cannot make a word, even if he has great power, but there are people who can restrain him.

If he continues to choose to confront each other, some people may be dissatisfied with the commander of the Great Qi Border Army, and then force the commander of the Northwest Border Army to either divide his troops to defend the city, or take the initiative to seek a decisive battle.

No matter what, once there is a change in the camp of the Great Qi border army, once the troops are divided, it is his chance, and the barbarian commander will immediately wave his troops to attack, even if he can't defeat the Great Qi border army to the ground, as long as he can make the other party hurt his muscles and bones, he can divide a partial division to loot everywhere, then, his goal will be achieved.

And now, the opportunity that the barbarian commander has been waiting for day and night has finally come, he has received the news that the people in the northwest are boiling, and now there is a lot of chaos, and many cities have been occupied by the rebels.

That is to say, the current northwest land, the rear is unstable, this situation has begun to affect the northwest border army camp opposite, and civil and military officials from all over the country have sent letters of help, wanting to send an army back here to suppress the civil unrest.

The elite of the Great Qi border army is stationed in the northwest, although the main responsibility is to prevent the invasion of barbarians, but also has the responsibility of protecting the family and the country, and now the northwest is surging, and the chaotic army is stubble after stubble, like an inexhaustible leek that makes the local government anxious, and even many counties have been occupied by the chaotic army.

If we don't take the opportunity to extinguish this momentum, then after some time, when these chaotic armies grow up, and then try to solve them, it will be extremely difficult.

Therefore, civil and military officials from all over the country worked together to exert pressure on the side of the army camp in the northwest border, so that this side divided a partial division into the northwest hinterland and began to suppress the civil unrest.

And this is the opportunity of the barbarian commander.

The opponent's forces are insufficient!

In fact, there is another reason why the barbarian commander wants to storm the camp of the northwest border army, that is, there is not much grain, cattle and sheep carried by the barbarian side, and at most they can eat for another month.

There was no food in his hand, so he was naturally very panicked.

If they don't seek a decisive battle at this moment and defeat the camp of the Northwest Frontier Army in one fell swoop, when they really have no food in their hands, and there is no need for the other party to attack them, the barbarians themselves will collapse first, and there will be the elite of the Northwest Frontier Army eyeing them next to them, maybe the tens of thousands of warriors under their command will be difficult to return to the grassland, most of them will be killed, and a few people will be thrown into the dark mines as prisoners, and they will be mined until they die.

It's miserable.

Moreover, just as the Great Qi court not only has the northern barbarians as an opponent, but also in the south, in the east, and in the northeast, there are other powerful opponents, and their barbarians, in fact, also have other enemies, in the further north of the barbarians, there are more barbaric and rough cannibal tribes, those people are not having a good time, often sneaking up on the border areas, and taking away the adults, children, men, and women of many barbarian tribes, making them into jerky and eating them.

If the barbarian army stays in Daqi for a long time, I am afraid that those cannibal tribes will become more and more rampant, and it is likely to unite and invade the territory of the barbarians, in that case, it will be a big chaos.

Therefore, the barbarian commander could not stay in the territory of Daqi for a long time, and the barbarian was not quiet and peaceful, he also wanted to open the situation in the shortest possible time, snatch a resource, and give back to his country.

Therefore, since he sent a large army to attack today, he wanted to seek a decisive battle, and he wanted to decide a battle, and if he won, he would earn a lot of money, and if he lost, the barbarians would not know how many people would die today.

……

……

Opposite the large battalion of the Northwest Frontier Army.

The commander of the Northwest Army stood on the high sentry tower and saw the barbarian cavalry spreading over like a dark cloud on the opposite side, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Finally, can't you take it anymore?"

He waved the command flag, and the defenses on the periphery of the border army camp immediately slowly dispersed, and there was also a more well-equipped cavalry team, running out of the camp and rushing forward without fear.

To tell the truth, the barbarian on the other side wants a decisive battle, and he actually wants a decisive battle.

He had also been waiting for this day for a long time.

According to the original intention of the commander of the Northwest Army, although the armies of the two sides confronted each other and looked huge, but in his expectation, the two sides should not be able to fight, and he also knew the situation on the barbarian side very well, if he really wanted to fight a tough battle, the Northwest Army would suffer heavy casualties, but the barbarians could not afford it, if tens of thousands of young men died on the northwest border, the barbarians would have to be unable to breathe for several years.

The difference in Gu is that there are many people on the side of the Great Qi Imperial Court, and it is very easy to recover.

Therefore, the commander of the Northwest Frontier Army only firmly established one principle, that is, to keep an eye on the main battalion of the barbarians, and keep an eye on it here, as long as it takes a while, when the barbarian army runs out of food, at most it will be a bloody battle with the Northwest Army, and if it does not benefit it, it will naturally retreat.

And his side is backed by the northwest hinterland, and the logistics support is extremely easy, and he is not afraid of confronting the other party at all.

However, accidents still happened.

The commander of the border army never imagined that in the northwest land, which had been dry for many years, the people's grievances had finally reached their peak, exploding like powder kegs, and rebel armies emerged in various places in an endless stream, some were suppressed in time, while others grew rapidly like a snowball, and even occupied some county towns and county towns.

It's a mess.

But in any case, the land of the northwest has been completely chaotic and has become extremely unstable, and under the influence of this, the grain routes of the Northwest Army are often cut off, and those rebellious troops do not care whether the grain is for the Northwest Army or not.

The reason why they started a rebellion was to eat a bite, and as long as there was food, they would not care whose food it was, and they would first snatch it and eat it in their stomachs.

Anyway, in this chaotic situation, you can live one day at a time.

Now the food in the Northwest Army can only be eaten for two or three months, although the situation is better than the barbarian army opposite, but it is not much better, and as the civil unrest in the Northwest becomes more and more serious, some officers and soldiers have heard this kind of news, and the army's heart is shaken!

After all, most of the Northwest Army under his command came from all over the Northwest, and when many soldiers heard that their hometown had suffered from the war, they naturally began to worry about their relatives at home, and petitioned one after another, wanting to send troops back to suppress the rebellion.

Their mood can also be understood, they fought against the barbarians on the border, and were born and died for the Daqi court, but they can't let their parents, wives and children at home also suffer from the chaos of the army, if they are really wiped out by the chaos and the family dies miserably, then what is the meaning of life?

What else is necessary to continue to work hard for this Great Qi Imperial Court?

There's no need for it!

Now, the grain road is unstable, and the morale of the army has also begun to be affected, so the commander of the Northwest Army also knows that it is about to be exhausted, and he has the heart to have a decisive battle with the barbarians, because, if he doesn't fight hard, I am afraid that the hearts of the people on his side will really collapse, and at that time, the soldiers will no longer dare to fight, and the barbarians will be attacked by tens of thousands of people, and the 100,000 soldiers of the Northwest Army will be directly defeated.

Once the Northwest Army fails, the barbarians will quickly attack the Northwest Land, and there will be no one to stop them, and they will definitely be ruined at that time.

……

……

Therefore, the commander of the Northwest Army also took advantage of this incident to create an opportunity for the barbarians, showing the unstable state within the Northwest Army, which triggered today's decisive battle.

In fact, it is true that the Northwest Army is unstable.

However, it was not as serious as it appeared, he had been in charge of the Northwest Army for decades, and the riots within the Northwest Army could still be suppressed by virtue of his personal charm.

But.

Since the commanders of both sides wanted to fight a quick battle, he simply pushed the boat down the river, revealing a flaw, and giving the other party a chance to attack.

Thundered!

In the blink of an eye, one red and one black, the two cavalry teams collided together, and a wave of blood suddenly erupted from the place of contact.

Seeing this, the commander of the Northwest Army waved the command flag again, and a heavy cavalry team began to run out of the camp, ready to participate in the battle.

This time, the commanders of both sides made up their minds to defeat each other.

Yes, the means are frequent.

The battle lasted for two days and two nights, and both sides suffered heavy losses, but in the end, they both survived, and there was a draw, and no one collapsed first.

It's awkward.

For the barbarian side, they are now in a dilemma, if they continue to fight, they will inevitably lose more barbarian warriors, which is simply unbearable pain for the barbarian empire with a small population.

If you really lose these tens of thousands of people, and if you want to re-establish such a powerful army across the prairie, it is estimated that it will take a few more years.

Moreover, there are really so many barbarian warriors who have died, I am afraid that after the army returns to the grassland, the barbarian empire will also be unstable internally, after all, the barbarian empire is not the same as the Great Qi court, it is an alliance composed of large and small tribes one after another, if each family loses a lot, then the large and small tribes will inevitably be dissatisfied with the barbarian emperor, and if there is another fuse, it may cause civil strife among the barbarians.

There is another point, most of the troops brought out by the barbarian commander this time are the descendants of the barbarian emperor, and if the losses are too heavy, it is estimated that some careerists will jump out.

What's more, even if the barbarian commander insists on staying here and continuing to fight, they may not be able to win, and the northwest frontier army on the opposite side is not inferior to the barbarian warriors in terms of will, military strength, and equipment.

However, if they really withdrew from the border of Daqi like this, it would naturally be very uncomfortable, they sent a large army this time to rob all kinds of resources, but they got nothing, and their own army was seriously weakened, which will still cause instability in the barbarian empire, and the various tribes will still be separated.

So, the current situation is really a dilemma.

For the commander of the Northwest Frontier Army, he naturally will not retreat, because he can't retreat, even if the Northwest Army in his hands is exhausted, he will have to die here.

Because, behind the northwest frontier army is the northwest hinterland, if they retreat, the barbarian army will advance, and then the barbarians will inevitably plunder in all directions.

Moreover, the battle has reached this point, even if the commander of the Northwest Frontier Army wants to retreat, there is no way, and the soldiers will not agree, the northwest land is often plundered by barbarians, and the two sides have hundreds of years of hatred, and so many robes have died in this battle, they have to take revenge.

In this case, after the two sides have rested for a day, the bloody battle will continue.
