Chapter 72 Recovering Tianshan City

When Qin Yuan was talking with Zhuge Mo, the Qiling Mountains where Qin Yi was located also encountered a cavalry of ten thousand people.

When the cavalry entered the depths of the mountains, there were sounds of piercing the air from all directions, and after only a few rounds of bow and crossbow shots, more than half of the [-] cavalrymen were killed or injured.

Qin Yi led the Qinglong Legion and the Qilin Legion, occupying the geographical advantage, and killed all the ten thousand troops without any effort.

So far, four reinforcements from Northern Qiang have lost three reinforcements.

The last road is not the Qiling Mountains or the Falling Peak Valley, but a dangerous move by the soldiers, from a rugged path, through the mountains and mountains, to the territory of Wuwei County.

Soon, he went through towns and cities to Wuwei County City.

"General, the movement of cavalry was discovered outside the city. According to the scouts, it is not our army. It seems to be reinforcements from the Northern Qiang people."

In Shangbei City, after a whole night of training, the aura of the God-killing army has been raised to a higher level.

"Reinforcements? They came just in time."

Bai Qi showed a weird smile, did he know that they had finished training their murderous aura, so they came to their door on their own initiative?
"Go ahead with the order. The entire army will be dispatched to intercept and kill the enemy. Remember not to allow them to support Wuwei City."

Bai Qi quickly issued the order.

If fighting on the plains, [-] killing gods can easily defeat [-] Northern Qiang cavalry. If one side has a city to rely on, then it will have to pay at least three to five times the price to win it.

Not long after, a large army with killing intent rushed out of Shangbi City and headed towards the northwest.

Not long after, they encountered reinforcements from the Northern Qiang who were on their way overnight.

"No!"

Thirty miles outside Shangbio City, the green grass was stained with blood red.

"Let's go, the destination, Wuwei City."

Bai Qi watched the last dozens of Northern Qiang cavalry fall and said calmly.

Fanyang City.

Zhuge Chen looked at the people below.

After a night of communication, the family forces headed by the Patriarch of the Fan family surrendered one after another and took refuge in Qin Yuan.

So far, Fanyang City has officially come under Qin Yuan's sphere of influence.

"According to the news, the Tiandao army outside the city is just a group of militiamen with low combat effectiveness. Although they number ten thousand, it is not difficult to defeat them."

Zhuge Chen said indifferently, "Now, my lord has led the army to the north to recover the five cities including Beilin and Guliang. The army threatens Wuwei City and recovers the entire Wuwei County. It is just around the corner."

"All of you present, as ministers, if you don't say you have done something, you have no merit. Now there is a great opportunity in front of you."

After Zhuge Chen finished speaking, he looked at them quietly.

"Mr. Zhuge, do you want us to send troops to defeat the Tiandao army outside the city?"

The speaker was Fanheng, a middle-aged man in a green shirt, looking at Zhuge Chen.

This man is the head of the Fan family, the only famous family in Fanyang City, and he is also the county magistrate of Fanyang City.

Zhuge Chen nodded slightly.

"But no matter what the enemy says, there are still tens of thousands of people. However, our city has suffered heavy losses in the past month, and now there are less than three thousand soldiers capable of fighting."

Fan Heng sighed. "I heard that Qin Taishou has countless elite soldiers and generals, and easily defeated the 11 Northern Qiang army. It is better to wait for Qin Taishou to return from victory, and then send troops to conquer the Heavenly Dao Army. The victory is sure."

"If everything is waiting for the lord to take action, then why do you want us to be subordinates?"

Zhuge Chen said with a pale face, "Magistrate Fan only needs to nod or shake his head."

As a side who has taken refuge with Qin Yuan, he has nothing to gain. If he is lucky, he will continue to serve as the county magistrate. If Qin Yuan is not satisfied, then it is normal for him to be deprived of his official position.

"I am willing to do my part for the prefect to recover Wuwei County."

Fanzheng struggled for a while and said through gritted teeth.

"That way, of course, there is no need for County Magistrate Fan to personally lead the troops, just hand over the troops to General Feng."

Zhuge Chen smiled and looked at Feng Tianya who was silent at the side.

"Okay, I see."

County Magistrate Fan sighed and said.

An hour later, the gate of Fanyang City opened wide, and the [-] Fanyang Army attacked first, rushing towards the camp of the Heavenly Dao Army outside the city.

"Sir, are you sure you want to go with me?"

Feng Tianya looked at the young Zhuge Chen and asked.

"Of course, it is my generation's ambition to fight on the battlefield and make contributions."

Zhuge Chen smiled kindly.

Along with them, there are Fanheng and others. They don't want to go out of the city, as the saying goes, a gentleman should not stand behind a dangerous wall.

But Zhuge Chen bluntly said that if anyone does not act with the army, they must report them to Qin Yuan. In desperation, they had no choice but to follow the army.

Feng Tianya's strength is not strong, his official position is not high, he is still just a cavalier, but he is loyal to the Qin family and is quite trusted by Qin Yuan.

Therefore, Qin Yuan sent Zhuge Chen to Fanyang City this time, and also sent Feng Tianya to follow him.

Qin Yuan's superficial intention was to support Fanyang City and gain control of Fanyang City.

But he sent seven thousand soldiers to go with him, including two thousand sharpshooters from the Qilin Legion. This made Zhuge Chen guess that Qin Yuan didn't just want to regain Fanyang City.

"kill!"

At this moment, the genius had just dawned, and when the soldiers in the Tiandao Army camp and many others were sleeping, their defenses were also very lax, because they never thought that Fanyang City would dare to send troops out of the city to attack.

"Enemy attack enemy attack!"

A soldier of the Heavenly Dao Army shouted, and just after shouting, he was shot through the head by an arrow that fell from the sky.

kill!

Three thousand Fanyang soldiers rushed towards the tent first, and soon fought with the Heavenly Dao Army.

"A bunch of rabble."

After watching for a long time, Feng Tianya was disappointed when he saw the Fanyang Army's disorderly battle.

Originally, it was a good time to attack the camp, break into the enemy's camp and catch the enemy by surprise.

As a result, Fanyang City was stopped by hundreds of soldiers, unable to break through the enemy's defenses, and when the sleeping soldiers in the camp reacted, they fought head-on.

"After all, they are not the elite of the general's subordinates. It is not bad to be able to compete with the Heavenly Dao Army without defeat."

With a faint smile on Zhuge Chen's face, he looked to the side.

Fanheng and the others blushed and lowered their heads in shame.

The soldiers in Fanyang City, most of them are recruits, without professional generals to lead them, they have only a handful of training hours every day, and their combat strength is obvious.

It is almost the same as the Tiandao militia who took up arms.

"All the generals obey the order and charge to kill with me."

Feng Tianya gave a loud shout, and led the [-] city guards to rush in.

The City Guards Corps is the weakest of the eight legions, and that is compared to the ace elites of the Killing God Army. Compared with the Fanyang Army or the Tiandao Army, it can definitely be called an elite army.

A group of city guards wearing excellent armor rushed into the Tiandao army camp, quickly tore through the defense line, and galloped through the camp, invincible.

The soldiers of the City Guard brandished their weapons, venting their anger.

In the eight major legions, especially in the actual confrontation with other legions, they have always been at the bottom of the existence, and they almost doubted their lives when they lost.

When I saw the battle between the Tiandao Army and the Fanyang Army, I immediately felt that my confidence was back.

Especially when they easily defeated the defense line of the Heavenly Dao Army, their confidence soared. It was not that they were too weak, but that the opponent they faced before was too strong.

They are also rare elite teachers among other forces.

"Escape!"

"The enemy is too cruel!"

"Why are they invulnerable?"

The Tiandao army was torn apart from the defense line. Facing the sky-high morale of the Tiandao army, they immediately fled. Many soldiers were so frightened that they abandoned their helmets and armor. No, they didn't even have qualified armor. At most, they threw away their crudely made swords. .

"Those who descend will not be killed, but those who flee will die!"

Zhuge Chen gave a soft drink, and the energy burst out of his body, which merged into the sound and spread throughout the entire Tiandao Army camp.

"Kirin sharpshooter, shoot those fleeing soldiers."

Zhuge Chen watched the battlefield, frowned, and added, "It doesn't matter whether the enemy is me or not."

The Qilin Army obeyed the order, rode their war horses, and were distributed around the battlefield.

Riding and archery is a compulsory training subject for the Kirin Legion.

The Qilin army that formed the encirclement gave up the practice of concentrated shooting and turned to precise burst shooting. Once someone left the battlefield, they would be shot by them.

Needless to say, the fleeing Tiandao Army soldiers would also be killed if any soldiers of the Fanyang Army fled without a fight.

"This"

Fanheng hesitated to speak, looking at Zhuge Chen with a firm expression, he didn't dare to say anything more.

After a while, the war came to an end, and nearly half of the Tiandao Army soldiers chose to surrender.

Zhuge Chen and Feng Tianya got together and discussed in a low voice for a while.

"Leave 500 people to clean up the battlefield, gather the whole army, and head to Tianshan City."

Feng Tianya issued a military order, which cannot be questioned.

"Let's go, Magistrate Fan."

After Zhuge Chen finished speaking, he followed the team without looking back.

Fanheng sighed, looking at the dejected Fanyang army as if they had lost a battle, then at the city guard army with high morale, and the Qilin army wandering around, feeling full of emotion in his heart.

At the same time, I am glad that I have long expressed my willingness to join Qin Yuan, otherwise, facing such a powerful elite army, I am afraid that his fate will not be easy.

After half a day's march, the army arrived outside Tianshan City.

The battle unfolded quickly, and the Qilin army exerted a strong suppression force, using precise bows and crossbows to shoot, and suppressed the defenders of Tianshan City. No one dared to take the lead. on the head.

The city guard army broke through the city gate without spending much effort. After only an hour of fighting, they won a siege battle.

Fan Heng and the others looked at each other and were immediately impressed with their admiration, wishing they could fall to the ground.

No wonder Mingwu City was able to wipe out the Northern Qiang army. The original army's combat effectiveness was so strong, compared with its own Fanyang army, it was a world of difference.
