Seventy-seven foot duels

……

"Er Niangxi (special code), this is difficult to be regarded as a noble widow and a famous general? Hundreds of miles of road, all plain terrain, actually walked for a full twenty days, to tie a piece of meat in front of a dog, can run four or five back and forth! ”

In the fourth year of Xuanwu, on February 23, on this day, the Han army, which was idle outside Liuli City, finally waited for the difficult "1.5 million army".

After Tian Yan learned the news, he scolded his mother directly, he couldn't imagine that the march of the noble widow army was so slow!

Bai Qi didn't care about this at all, although the main army of the difficult one was much later than expected, but because of this, the Han army rangers had already looted all the villages around Liuli City.

In other words, it is absolutely impossible for Nanzhu to obtain supplies outside Liuli City, and the only thing he can do is to fight a decisive battle with the Han army in a dignified manner.

Geng Gong said: "Bai Shuai, the scout has come to report, this time it is difficult to defeat the army of no less than 600,000 horses, including 100,000 cavalry and 500,000 infantry.

In addition, there are more than 50,000 miscellaneous slaves, who have now reached thirty miles outside Liuli City, and it is estimated that they will arrive tomorrow evening at the latest. ”

After listening to Geng Gong's words, everyone in the tent was silent.

Indeed, this noble widow's army is huge, and it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to learn this information without being shocked.

But in the minds of Bai Qi and the generals at all levels present, they were calculating how much grain and grass these hundreds of thousands of horses consumed in a day.

"Heh~"

After a long time, Bai Qi smiled.

"The grain and grass consumed by these more than 600,000 people and horses in a day, according to the number of people alone, a soldier needs at least two catties a day, that is, 8,000 stones.

The consumption of a war horse in a day is calculated according to the "Ma Ce" of our Han army, and the amount of hay required is at least fifteen catties, and the essence is five catties, that is, twenty catties, and the war horses on the march consume even more, and 100,000 war horses consume at least 12,000 stone grain and grass.

The two together are 20,000 stone a day, do the noble widows have the national strength to support the continuous expenses of such a large army?

In this battle, our army has won half of the battle, and the next thing we should do is to frustrate their spirit and force them to squeeze into Liuli City. ”

As soon as Bai Qi said this, generals at all levels were gearing up, and Lu Yu said directly: "Please let Bai Shuai attack, I will definitely be able to extinguish his arrogance in one battle." ”

Xia Yu was not to be outdone: "Bai Shuai, the last general asks for a half-way interception of the noble widow's army!" ”

Tian Yan: "The last general is also willing to go to ......"

Bai Qi smiled, and then said: "The three generals already have a lot of military merits, and the next military exploits should also be given to the generals who have not yet made meritorious contributions." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at his lieutenant Wang He.

Wang He immediately got up and arched his hand: "Bai Shuai, the last general asks to fight!" ”

Bai Qi said: "The newly allocated 8,000 soldiers under your command, can they go to the battlefield?" ”

Wang He replied loudly: "Eight thousand warriors practice day and night, and they have long been eager to make meritorious contributions, and they hope that Bai Shuai will be successful!" ”

"Good!"

Bai Qi slapped his thigh.

"Wang He listens to orders!"

"The last general!"

"Order your own soldiers, go to meet the enemy, this commander will let the artillery battalion assist on one side, be sure to fight the first battle to strengthen the power of our Han army!"

"Whoa!"

……

In the early morning of February 24, the army finally arrived at the outskirts of Liulicheng one after another.

From Turbo City to Liuli City, it was only a distance of more than 400 miles, but the difficult army took 21 days to arrive.

And the reason for this is that it is difficult to make great achievements, and every time it passes, the surrounding nobles come to greet and greet them, which is too addictive to commanding the three armies.

As for what the Han army did during this period of their struggle, it was difficult to think that there was no need to care at all.

After all, he had more than 600,000 horses and horses, and he also crushed the Han army to death.

"Liuli City has finally arrived, this guy Ku Jin is okay, and he didn't let the Han army occupy the city."

Looking at the walls of Liulicheng in the distance, Nan Jian breathed a sigh of relief again.

"When you enter Liuli City, you must ravage the female slaves of the clan in those months, so as to relieve the fatigue of the general's journey."

Just as he was imagining what kind of posture he would use to enjoy the beauty of the Yue's family, a passionate horn sounded on the mountain road on the left.

"Huh?"

Looking at the all-colored Xuanjia army slowly approaching in the distance, shouting the majestic "Han Army Might" in his mouth, he couldn't help but shrink his pupils.

"This group of lowly Han people, thinking that shouting slogans like this can make General Ben retreat? Mistaken wishful thinking! ”

He waved his horsewhip and smiled cruelly.

"It's all infantry?"

After seeing that the Han army was listed as infantry, Nan Jian was stunned at first, and then laughed wildly.

"Hahaha, infantry? I thought Bai Qi was capable of anything, but I didn't expect it to be such an ignorant goods, and thousands of infantry tried in vain to provoke? Do you deceive me and my widow, or are you arrogant? ”

Nan Ji licked his dry lips and said to the adjutant general beside him: "Lead five thousand iron cavalry and defeat this army in one fell swoop!" ”

"Yes!"

"Come back!"

"Arrest the commander of that infantry army, and General Ben will ask him where he got the courage to dare to go against my noble widow!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the 5,000 noble widow cavalry was ready to go and stood quietly in the front.

"My great noble widows, warriors? The opportunity to make a contribution has finally arrived, and the shameless invaders have openly come to provoke, so let's use the sabre in our hands to teach this group of Han people, my noble widow empire, is the real master of the Western Regions! ”

"Whoa~~"

Five thousand noble widows let out a deafening howl, and everyone's face was filled with madness and scorching.

Cavalry is the king of this world.

Five thousand cavalry could easily tear through the formations of tens of thousands of infantry and then start a wanton slaughter.

However......

"Valiant and fearless noble widows and warriors! Come with me and give this group of arrogant Han soldiers a bloody lesson! Kill! ”

"Kill!"

"Kill~"

"Kill~~"

The 5,000 cavalry let out a wolf-like roar again, and then waved their arc knives and iron spears, and launched an overwhelming charge at the Han infantry phalanx.

"The whole army obeys the order! Array! ”

"Drink~~"

In the face of the noble widow cavalry five hundred paces away, the main general Wang He gave an order indifferently.

At the sound of an order, the three battle formations erected two shields in all directions, and the spearmen in the third and fourth columns pressed the spears up to five meters in their hands in unison, and poked out from the gaps in the shields, forming a desperate "hedgehog tortoiseshell array".

"Longbowmen prepare!"

"Squeak~~"

The longbowmen in the middle of the formation pulled the bowstring in their hands in unison and adjusted the angle to aim at the blue sky.

These 8,000 warriors practiced extremely harshly on weekdays, and they needed to wear fifty pounds of heavy armor every day, hold a five-meter spear, and poke a three-stone strong bow on their backs to march twenty miles on foot, and they could also directly start a battle.

Whether it is the coordination of the battle array, or the use of spears and bows, they far surpass the other branches of the Han army.

And each soldier is composed of veterans of the old army who have survived a hundred battles, and their perseverance and organization are first-class.

Liu Ce personally inspected this army and gave them a resounding name-

Wei Wushu!

"Han Army~~"

"Might~~"

After an earth-shattering roar, the heavens and the earth seemed to fall silent, except for the heavy sound of horses' hooves, only the sound of heavy breathing echoed in front of the two armies.
