Chapter 71
"Commander, withdraw!?"

One person shouted, a sharp arrow pierced his shoulder, and the bloody arrow was extremely dazzling.

This person is his confidant, he is a martial artist in the seventh level of body training, his physique is not invulnerable to swords and guns, but ordinary bows and arrows can't hurt him.

"withdraw."

During the moment of Ma Ren's hesitation, hundreds more people were shot and killed.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of shouting and killing, and soldiers from both sides of the valley rushed out to kill the Northern Qiang cavalry.

"kill!"

Ma Ren's face turned ashen, and his heart became ruthless, leading the army to fight the enemy head-on.

But as soon as he fought, he regretted it. The enemy's strength was beyond his imagination.

He slashed at a soldier of the Killing God Army, watched the soldier fall off his horse, spitting blood, glanced at Ma Ren, and turned to kill the other Northern Qiang cavalry.

He was stunned. With the strength of his eighth level of body training, the attack on an enemy soldier was only to repel him, not to kill him.

The black lacquered armor can withstand most of the damage, and it is not something that ordinary weapons can break through.

"This is a leader, besiege and kill him!"

Around Ma Ren, six commanders and centurions of the God-killing Army armed with long feather sabers attacked at the same time, all of them were in the fifth level of body training.

In the face of Ma Ren, who is at the eighth level of body training, he is not afraid at all, relying on the invincible black scale armor to continuously wear down his physical strength.

Chi!
Taking advantage of the battle, a Qu Chang swung his long sword and chopped off the head of the horse under Ma Ren.

Chi! "

Another person came from the side, did not make any defense at all, took advantage of Ma Ren's fall from the horse and lost his stability, and cut off his left arm with a knife.

Ma Ren let out a cry of pain, Dou Da's sweat dripped from his forehead, and the blood from the broken wound sprayed out without money.

Chi Chi!
A pair of long feathered sabers came from all around. He raised the long saber, but it was cut in two. Then, the sharp blade pierced through his chest, head, and abdomen.

"I you!"

Ma Ren, the leader of Northern Qiang, showed regret in his eyes. At this moment, he finally understood why Ma Qingbiao's army of more than [-] people was defeated so badly.

The army encountered in front of them has indestructible armor, weapons that cut iron like mud, and the soldiers are so strong that they cannot be enemies at all.

"Master Commander, we are here to accompany you."

The guards around Ma Ren fell in a pool of blood one by one, and the entire Chuanfeng Valley was turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

The night sky is so dark that countless lives have been buried.

The [-]-strong army he led was wiped out in less than two quarters of an hour after being attacked.

"Report to Commander, there is the sound of fighting in Chuanfeng Valley ahead, it seems that Commander Ma Ren has encountered an ambush."

Less than two miles away from Zhuifeng Valley, another Northern Qiang cavalry arrived.

This is one of the four armies, and Ma Ren's army set off before them.

"The whole army advances quickly to support Commander Ma Ren."

The leading Northern Qiang leader shouted

The two cavalrymen set off one after another, within two quarters of an hour. Even if they encountered an ambush, the first thing they thought of was to provide support and defeat the enemy.

As for the possibility that the friendly army that was ambushed ahead has been wiped out by the entire army, they never thought about it at all.

"Another one."

Qin Yuan looked at the Northern Qiang cavalrymen who were approaching in surprise. He did not expect to encounter two Northern Qiang cavalrymen.

Fortunately, in the previous battle, the enemy was defeated with a destructive force, and there were not many casualties at all. Even after the ambush just now, they won a complete victory and their morale rose to its peak.

"Shhhhh!"

When the Northern Qiang cavalry was 600 meters away from Zhuifeng Valley, they heard bursts of piercing through the air. Afterwards, the cavalry charged one by one were hit by arrows and fell to the ground dead.

"what happened!"

The northern Qiang commander who rushed to the front changed his face drastically, as if he had thought of something, and when he was about to issue orders, the God-killing army had already come towards them.

The two armies handed over hand in hand, and soon they fought together.

Soon, [-] white tiger sergeants outflanked from both wings, while Xuanwu sergeants made a circle, directly cutting off the Northern Qiang army's retreat.

"My lord, the outcome has been decided. In this battle, [-] Northern Qiang cavalry were wiped out, and only a few hundred fled."

Zhuge Mo was in a good mood and said with a smile.

The Northern Qiang people were not fools either. Knowing that the enemy army was very strong, they fled from all directions. Coupled with the night, it was extremely difficult to keep them all behind.

However, most of them were left behind, and only a small number of Northern Qiang cavalry rushed into the mountains and forests in the dark, and escaped by chance.

"Well, this battle once again hit the Northern Qiang Ma Clan hard. Even if they gather all their strength, it will be difficult for them to be an enemy of our army."

Qin Yuan said confidently.

Even if everyone in the Northern Qiang people is a soldier, the population is not unlimited. There are only so many young and middle-aged people, and it is already the limit to form an army of 30 to [-].

As many as 17 were lost in Qin Yuan's hands. In addition to their previous battles in Wuwei County and Jincheng County, the casualties may be more than 20.

"Even if the Ma clan does not become an enemy of our army and retreats to the northern grassland, it will be coveted by other royal families or royal families."

Zhuge Mo said that there is competition within the Northern Qiang people, the strong prey on the weak, and the annexation of tribes occurs all the time.

Qin Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes brightened.

"Do you want to lead the army into Jincheng County? Or take back Wuwei County first."

Zhuge Mo seemed to see Qin Yuan's thoughts and asked.

"What do you think?" Qin Yuan asked back.

"Although our eight major armies are strong, their numbers are too small. Eighty thousand troops guarding a county is already the limit. I suggest recruiting troops in each city, forming a city guard army, guarding the cities of Wuwei County, and having enough self-defense. strength, the Eight Legions can fight outside with peace of mind and avoid being taken advantage of by the enemy.”

Zhuge meditated for a while, and then said, "With the cultivation methods provided by the lord, excellent armor, food and supplies, as long as it develops steadily, the world will surely win. Don't rush forward and give the enemy a chance to inflict heavy losses."

Although Qin Yuan's eight armies are strong, their numbers are limited. There are many princes in the world, and there are not a few princes with more than [-] soldiers. Qin Yuan's [-] soldiers are indeed not enough.

First there was King Nanjing, who dispatched 50 land and water troops in one expedition.

And the Tiandao Army, despite being besieged by the forces of various princes, was still able to gather hundreds of thousands of troops in Yidu County to confront the King of Nanjing.

The Northern Qiang people who have been severely injured by them should not be underestimated. Even if Ma Feiteng sent an army of [-], there are still [-] troops in his hands, and there is support from the Ma clan of the Northern Qiang in the rear. With the power of the clan, it may not be impossible to recruit another [-] troops.

"It makes sense."

Qin Yuan nodded and said, with a population of 40 alone, it would be easy to recruit 300 troops with a population of 20 million in Wuwei County.

Even if they couldn't be as powerful as the Dragon Scale Army's Killing God Army, they were still stronger than the Northern Qiang cavalry even if they were the same as the Qin family's army.

"Camp up and rest, and set off at dawn tomorrow to take down Wuwei City!"

Qin Yuan gave up the idea of ​​driving straight into Jincheng County. Even if he wanted to attack Jincheng County, he had to gather all his strength.

He only has more than 2 soldiers in his hands, and he is still a little short of time to fight a siege.

Active siege and passive defense are completely different.

This battle was able to ambush [-] Northern Qiang enemy troops. The first was at night, and the enemy did not find the ambush at all. The second was relying on geographical advantages and ambushes. The third was because of their own strength, which is why they won the big victory. .

The right time, place and people are in harmony, and Qin Yuan has all three things.
