The north wind was bleak, the sky was overcast, and scattered snowflakes were once again sprinkled on the northwest land.

Ten miles away from Wuwei Gorge, nearly 80,000 Wubo main forces were marching quickly in a long line.

Although it is common to look messy from a distance, the strength of the army is amazing, and it is obvious that these are not ordinary weak soldiers.

The first touch of green appeared in the front, and there was a commotion among the army, and there was no better news than this.

The cloth-clothed monks and soldiers who walked in the front and back of the army also could not keep calm, and even the sound of chanting was a little hurried, and it was indeed that the expedition was too long.

Rushing against the cold wind, it is said that it is to exercise the body and sharpen the heart of the Buddha in the sea of suffering.

In fact, the Wusi domain is a civilized desert, and the Wubo State has not long been established, and all kinds of wastes are waiting to be rebuilt, and the manufacturing power of basic industries is extremely poor.

Except for the secular soldiers who are not in place to practice, they must be equipped with winter clothes and leather armor, and most of the monks and soldiers are dressed in cloth clothes and rely on qi and blood to keep out the cold.

In this way, at most, the physical life span is consumed, leaving some hidden dangers of internal diseases, but it can save a lot of money and food for the country and promote the process of outward expansion in advance.

Where the Chinese army is, it is either a noble lord wearing gorgeous armor, or a warrior monk general wearing a cloth robe, and it is rare to see a truly solemn and dignified general.

The origin of such a strange division of power in the army is still in the long period of division in the Uth Domain.

With the size of the Central Plains, there are still no 100 princes, but in the former Usi Domain, there are thousands of lords, each of whom is a powerful nobleman who rules serfs and commoners and controls resources and wealth.

Judging from the power held by the aristocracy now, Buddhism must have compromised them in the process of establishing the state of Wubo, and for the sake of the great cause, not everyone is equal in front of Buddhism.

The Usi Domain is bitterly cold and barren, except for the nobles who support the family servants who are qualified soldiers, it is difficult to recruit and form an elite army in a short period of time.

"Hooray!" In the midst of a restless mood, the Wubo front army set foot on the Wuwei Gorge.

The top brass of the Chinese army behaved differently, and the most excited were the nobles, who had suffered this crime in their own territory in the Usi domain.

"The former army successfully passed through the gorge, and finally was able to relax, I heard that all the beauties outside the territory are very smart, and Ben Hou has been looking forward to it for a long time."

"Hahaha, what I'm saying is that Wuwei is already a subject country of my Great Wubo, and we don't want to pick the beauties of Wudu City."

"You must taste Wuwei's wine...... Several aristocratic generals riding tall black horses and wearing gorgeous robes discussed loudly, and between their words were how to relax and enjoy.

However, for their behavior, the non-commissioned officers, generals, and even warrior monks of the Chinese army didn't think there was anything wrong, because any one of them here was a great lord of the Hou Bo level.

No, as soon as the solemn face of the Chinese army leader Battelle was not at all, a frivolous young nobleman immediately became unhappy, and directly muttered angrily.

"Quick, Battle ordered the Chinese army to speed up, we have to soak in the hot spring before noon."

As one of the top military generals in the Wubo Kingdom, how could the actual military commander of this expedition endure such an offense, and his blood surged and he immediately wanted to reprimand the rude people.

Although he came from a humble background, he had the backing of the lord of the country, and the ordinary nobles were not afraid and could suppress it with righteousness.

"Nie Chi Zampu's son-in-law, the lord of the country will crown him a duke after the return of the classman, and now there are at least five thousand people in the army who obey his orders......" After Battelle recognized the identity of the young nobleman, his face changed, and the scene fell into embarrassment for a while.

The title of Zampu is equivalent to a king in the Wusi Domain, and when the Wubo State was not established, the Nie Chi Kingdom was one of the few powerful countries, and the power of the Nie Chi family did not diminish at all after it was incorporated into the Wubo Domain.

The whole army of expropriation is tantamount to a patchwork of private soldiers of many nobles, and if the relationship between superiors and subordinates is not handled well, there will inevitably be hidden dangers in the outbreak of war in the future.

Fortunately, the great monk Fanxing, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, suddenly spoke out: "Okay, why should the Nie Chi family be so impatient, it seems that the cultivation of Buddha nature is not enough." ”

Brahma Xing was wearing a big red robe, his face was kind, and his speech was soft and moderate, but the arrogant and frivolous young nobleman did not dare to have any disrespect, this is a virtuous monk who can communicate with the Buddha of the Western Heavens.

The cultivation of Buddha nature is an important evaluation in today's Wusi Domain, and Nie Chi has repeatedly accused himself of the crime, and he does not dare to provoke Coach Battle again.

Battle pushed the boat down the river and chatted with the Chinese generals and colonels about other topics: "I heard that the war on the front line is not progressing well, and the loyal Buddhists of the northwestern vassal countries have suffered heavy casualties, alas. ”

"If it is delayed for another two years, it will not be easier for my Great Wufan to digest the heritage of the Northwest Countries and invade the Central Plains." An adjutant general hurriedly chimed in.

"This time, unless you can fully occupy Qinzhou, or even enter Xishu, it will be a loss-making business."

"The Northwest Essence Branch Should Fight Like This......"

Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even high-ranking monks who are proficient in Buddhism do not understand why the imperial court is so eager to go on an expedition.

The country of Wubo is in ruins, and if you study the internal affairs casually, you can accumulate huge national strength.

Is it just to promote Buddhism and make Buddhism famous again? I'm afraid it's more than that, or maybe it's related to the changes in the pattern of the north and Xishu?

They are all upper-class elites in Wubo, and they have a lot of knowledge, so they opened the topic in a few words.

However, none of them thought that they would not be able to gain a foothold in the Central Plains, and the soldiers and horses of the headquarters had not been damaged since the start of the war.

80,000 well-trained aristocratic private soldiers, more than 10,000 well-trained monks, nearly 100,000 troops could not go anywhere, and the northwest countries and grasslands were still recruiting servants.

In the first two years, he swept through the northwest and only used 30,000 Wufan soldiers, and this expedition could not gain a foothold in the Central Plains, and Battle, who had always been steady, did not believe it.

The superficial relationship between the leadership has eased, and the Chinese army is about to step into the long Wuwei Gorge Road, and Battle is watching the situation in all directions out of professionalism.

Everywhere you look, there is ice and snow, and there is a vast white expanse.

As the chief military general, he is responsible for the army, Battle frowned and ordered: "All the sentry horses are scattered, and the Buddhist cultivators of the army please cooperate." ”

Soon, a team of skilled horsemen drilled into the wind and snow, and with them, there were hundreds of Buddhist cultivators who could fly into the sky.

"The former army has returned, and it has all passed through the gorge!"

When Battle heard the news sent back from earlier, he couldn't help but hesitate, according to his idea, he must have cleared the surrounding situation before entering.

But the wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier, and the rest of the eye glimpses the restlessness and dissatisfaction of Nie Chi and other nobles.

Anyway, the northwest is all a subject country, how can there be ambushes without knowing it, if it is just a problem with Wudu, the back road is still guaranteed.

"In this way, the whole army will be stationed in Wudu City to rest!" The Qinzhou battlefield was not far away, and Battle was unwilling to stiffen the relationship between the generals and commanders, so he waved his hand and ordered, and the Chinese army entered the gorge in an orderly manner.

Standing in front of the entrance of Wuwei Gorge, looking at the extremely steep and congested terrain, he couldn't help but sigh that it was really an easy place to defend and difficult to attack.

Of course, it is also suitable for ambushes.

……

Half an hour later, the front army arrived at Wudu City, the Wubo Chinese army completely entered the gorge, and the rear army of 10,000 people also began to set foot.

"Huh~" The sound of the sound of the hammer pierced through the wind and snow, hundreds of zhang away, Zhou Bai stood at the head of the city and shot an arrow, and the miracle of archery was displayed again.

"There are assassins, save the general." The shot was an earth-shattering shock, and the general who was heavily protected suddenly died.

"The King's Divine Shooter!" An old man in an old royal costume praised loudly, he was the old king of Wuwei Kingdom, who was rescued from the confinement dungeon by Zhou Bai two days ago.

I thought it was an assassin, but in fact, a great war broke out, and the 20,000 former troops of Wubo lost their command and fell into a melee.

"There is an ambush, the lord of Wuwei has rebelled!"

"Withdraw, withdraw first, and quickly report to General Battle!"

"What to withdraw, what a group of traitors are afraid of, it is all Lao Tzu's merits, give me ......"

"Kill!" And at this moment, Xia Jun poured out from all directions.

When the city gate was opened, there were 1,000 snow dragon riders wearing heavy armor, and in the distant farmland plains were tens of thousands of Xuanjia horsemen, and the 20,000 infantry troops were killed from behind the peripheral houses, canyons, forests, and hills.

The impact of the peak snow dragon horse, even if it is not a dive from a high position, it is not something that the Wufan army that has not yet lined up can resist.

Whether it is the monks and soldiers of the skin and flesh, or the elite armor of the noble lords, they are all turned into powder in the torrent of steel.

"No, run......" The little lords who survived by luck were terrified, and saw that another 10,000 Xuanjia horsemen rushed over again, pulling the private army to protect themselves.

Only a small number of grassroots officers who have been promoted after the establishment of the state are still making efforts to save the situation.

"Array, wait for our cavalry to arrive before we can retreat, array!"

"The monk army rushed in, beheaded the generals and captured the flag, just like when we defeated the Northwest Kingdoms!"

"Assemble!"

Bang bang~

The sound of close collisions between monks and forbidden soldiers sounded one after another, iron rods and spears and knives confronted each other, and the blood condensed into pitch-black wolf smoke, filling the canyon.

"These monks and soldiers really have some skills, and some of them can actually fight the forbidden soldiers alone, and they are not inferior at all." At the headquarters of the Xia Army at the head of the city, there were staff officers who were dumbfounded.

In the past, it was not an army that did not fight against the Great Xia Forbidden Army, but it had never been able to catch up with individual qualities.

Wuwei Lao Wang wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, is this still not satisfied? At the beginning, these monks slaughtered the Wuwei army, but it was like killing chickens.

"In terms of cooperation and armament, they are still too far apart, and the order is not to fight alone, but to form a formation against the enemy." Zhou Bai shook his head, not thinking that the monk soldiers would be able to defeat the elite of the forbidden army that he had painstakingly trained for many years.

No matter how many Buddhas in the West Heaven can intervene in the world, they must also follow the laws of humanity, and it has only been a long time since the establishment of Wufan, and there is no time to cultivate the foundation of the military formation.

There is also a national army that actually orders to go out of the gates, and it needs the lord to press the formation to calmly dispatch, if the princes of the Central Plains encounter this situation, they will not go to the battlefield to die.

"Run, it's not the Wuwei Army, it's the army of the Xia Kingdom."

"When did they seize Wudu City, I don't want to set foot in the Central Plains again, save my life......" The voices of crying and shouting came one after another.

The naked bloody massacre completely shattered the courage of the soldiers of the Wubo army, and thousands of monks and soldiers blindly resisted, but the loss was faster.

The bliss of the Western Heaven in their mouths, and the Buddhahood after death, cannot stop the violent iron fist of humanity.

"Congratulations to the king, there is no one more wise and powerful than you, this battle is won, it will be difficult for the Wufan Kingdom to go down to the plateau in a short time, and the northwest countries will praise the prestige of Great Xia!"

"If you go back and leave the 10,000 horses in Dasanguan, it will be a foregone conclusion that Wuwei will be incorporated into the territory of Great Xia......" Wuwei Lao Wang thought of the follow-up situation, his body became more and more rickety, and his voice trembled a little.

Of course, he is also very glad for his cooperation, his son made a mistake, but he was right.

But when Zhou Bai heard the compliment of the lord of a country, he shook his head slightly and said, "Who told you that this battle is here?" ”

Lao Wang was shocked, unless a large army jumped out of the grassland to block the back road of Wubo, the pursuit along the gorge would at most eat a broken tail.
