Silver Overlord - Chapter 881
[Chapter 846 Marching]
There are 40,000 people who took part in the oath in Baishiguan, but in fact, less than 30,000 people went out with Yan Liqiang, because among the people who took part in the oath, there were the defenders of Baishiguan, and these defenders were led by Tie Yun. Shan led and sits in Baishiguan, not only to ensure the safety of Baishiguan, but also to be responsible for the logistical supply of Yan Liqiang and their army. Although they are not on the front line, their responsibilities are also not light.
In addition to the 17,000 Longya Army led by Yan Liqiang, there were also 10,000 cavalrymen from the Ganzhou Army supported by Lei Sitong, a total of 27,000 people.
Among the 17,000 people of the Longya Army, Yan Liqiang built around 12,500 cavalry archers and divided them into five battalions. , Shi Dafeng led a battalion each, and the elites cultivated by the entire archery club almost came out of the nest. These 12,500 people were also collected by Yan Liqiang in the years after he returned to Ganzhou.
There are still 5,000 people in the Longya Army. They were formed by the former Pingxi County cavalry battalion after a period of survival of the fittest and strict training. These two battalions are traditional cavalry in the northwest, and their main weapons are lances. Long swords and other long weapons, the chief officers of these two battalions were also personally appointed by Yan Liqiang, one was Wang Naiwu, and the other was Gong Tieshan. Yan Liqiang’s old acquaintance, Gong Tieshan, is the same as Tieyun Mountain who is stationed at Baishiguan. In the Qiyun County Army, he is not only qualified, but also has the same name. Therefore, he is dubbed by the lieutenant colonel as the two “Iron Mountains” in the Longya Army. It’s just that one of the two iron mountains is stationed at Baishiguan, making it difficult for the people of Shatu to surpass the Thunder Pond.
The cavalry of the Ganzhou Army was led by Zhao Dachuan and divided into four battalions. Zhao Dachuan led one battalion himself, and the battalions of the other three battalions were also Zhao Dachuan’s subordinates, and they were exceptionally brave.
Yan Liqiang didn’t know until he left the customs that one of the three battalion commanders under Zhao Dachuan was Colonel Lei Mengying Yang, who was actually Lei Sitong’s nephew.
The soldiers and horses leading less than 30,000 people actually wanted to take Fulang Prairie. In the past, if someone heard such rumors, they would definitely think it was a joke, because it was completely impossible, even if it was only four A few months ago, the cadres in Qiyun County also thought that this was an impossible task, but now, no one thinks so, because when Yan Liqiang and the others left the customs, the people around Yan Liqiang’s army were like a snowball. The rolls got bigger and bigger, and the number of rangers and militiamen who had entered the Gulang Prairie to make a fortune within a radius of seventy or eighty li of the entire team exceeded 100,000.
Those rangers and militiamen lingered around Yan Liqiang and his army. From the beginning of Baishiguan, when Yan Liqiang and his army left, those people followed. When Yan Liqiang and his army stopped, those people also stopped. Come down, with Yan Liqiang and his army as the core, within a hundred miles along the way, Yan Liqiang does not even need to send any scouts, as long as there is any trouble, as long as the enemy is discovered, those people like the Ranger Militia will immediately attack. Go up to grab the head, if the head really can’t be grabbed, someone will quickly respond to the army led by Yan Liqiang.
The golden eagle with fire eyes hangs over the head of Yan Li’s powerful army like a high-altitude satellite, keeping an eye on the situation in all directions, while Yan Liqiang’s army is surrounded by more than 100,000 troops like marching ants. This kind of situation , those reconnaissance cavalry of the Seventh Division of Sand Tu and Heijiren, let alone attacking Yan Liqiang and their men, even close to Yan Liqiang and his army within 50 miles has become an extreme mission of nine-death life.
Yan Liqiang and the others marched on the grassland for 200 miles every day. They were not in a hurry. They walked all the way for seven consecutive days, but they didn’t encounter half of the people from the desert. It was like organizing a trip to the grassland. Wang Naiwu, Gong Tieshan, Zhao Dachuan, Lei Meng and others who were beheading them were so anxious that they wanted to scold their mothers.
But in the face of such a situation, there is no way for those who are in a hurry. This time, Yan Liqiang’s first target is the seven Shatu tribes, but the seven Shatu tribes gathered around Xingxing Lake. Those small and medium-sized tribes scattered among the seven tribes, those who survived by luck, have all been evacuated to the Xingxing Lake area to gather together. Now on the Gulang grassland, looking for a few lonely sand people is simply better than looking in the sand. It is still difficult to make a golden word, and the movements of the powerful army are naturally tense and concerned for the people of the Seventh Shatu. When they met Yan Liqiang and his army, the head became a sought-after item, and was picked by the rangers and militiamen who gathered around Yan Liqiang and his army.
For seven days in a row, Wang Naiwu, Gong Tieshan, Zhao Dachuan, Lei Meng, and others, in addition to marching every day, only heard that a certain ranger team had chopped off the heads of some sand people how many kilometers ahead. The news that his brothers had ambushed a group of sand Tu people to detect the horses and so on. They were gearing up for each other, but they could not even touch a single hair of the sand Tu people. In the end, the 27,000 troops were left at most. There are only some corpses and bloodstains left on the ground after the battle. In such a situation, it is impossible for people not to get angry.
Only Yan Liqiang, the more he walks, the more determined he is, the more calm he is.
At noon on the eighth day, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com Yan Liqiang and their “big army” finally arrived at a place more than 500 miles away from Xingxing Lake. “The first encounter…
It was said to be a “big army”, but the number was not large, at least much less than Yan Liqiang expected, with only 40,000 horses. When this “big army” was still more than 300 miles away from Yan Liqiang and the others, Yan Liqiang already knew about this army. The army was rushing towards his team. When they were more than a hundred miles away, Yan Liqiang had already received news from the scouts in the army. Within a hundred miles, news of the Rangers and the militia continued to come. To fully grasp the whereabouts of the “big army”, almost every two or three minutes, there will be news of the “big army” of the Satu people.
Because there are too many people and they are aggressive, the scattered teams of the rangers and the militia along the way can only avoid them and dare not hit them hard. Viciously, they rushed towards Yan Liqiang and the others.
“The Shatu people have brought us their heads…” Yan Liqiang, who heard the news, smiled slightly and said to the left and right, just as everyone was gearing up, thinking that Yan Liqiang would let the army rush towards the Shatu people and kill them fiercely. At that time, Yan Liqiang then gave an order, “Everyone will stop on the spot, rest for an hour, eat something, drink some water, and then we will go on the road…”
