Xu Xingxia was about to speak, but Zhang Tianhao came quietly. He obviously had something important to report to Xu Xingxia, but when he saw the situation inside, he hesitated. Xu Xingxia just saw it and said directly: "What's the matter?" Say it! ”

Zhang Tianhao said: "Mo Yuegen sent a messenger. ”

Xu Xingxia frowned and said, "What messenger?" Missing! Tell him to get out! ”

Zhang Tianhao said in a low voice: "I've already told him to get out!" However, Mo asked his messenger to send a letter, saying that it was written by him. Mo Yuegen said that if you are a hero, you must look at his letter. If you don't dare to look at it, it's a bear......"

Xu Xingxia frowned and said loudly: "Read!" Look what kind of garbage he wrote! ”

Zhang Tianhao opened the letter, coughed twice, and read it with a strange face: "Xu Xingxia, last time, you shot and injured my war horse, causing me to be injured!" I'm not convinced! That's your shit luck! You're definitely not that good! This time, I'm going to take your head off! I'm sure you're definitely no match for me in the wild! If you have a seed, don't cower in the castle! If you only know that you are cowering in the castle, you are a bear, a bastard! Don't even think about raising your head in this life! ”

Xu Xingxia said coldly: "Reply to him, I'll wait for him in the wild!" ”

Zhang Tianhao agreed. Xu Xingxia casually glanced around, but found that the faces of the three guerrilla generals had all changed. Mo Yuegen's letters are very popular and frank, and they naturally understand them. What shocked them was, of course, not that Mo Yuegen actually wrote a letter to Xu Xingxia in person, nor that Xu Xingxia blatantly agreed to fight with Mo Yuegen, but that Xu Xingxia actually shot Mo Yuegen's war horse, and also caused Mo Yuegen to be injured! It's incredible!

Oh, my God! What kind of person is Mo Yuegen! That's the Tatar god of arrows, a deified figure! You may not know which of the three major tribe leaders of the Tatars is, but you will definitely not know which one Mo Yuegen is. In Gansu Town, as long as Mo Yuegen is mentioned, no one is silent. Unexpectedly, this Mo Yuegen actually suffered a big loss in front of Xu Xingxia! Not only was the horse killed, but even he himself was wounded! It's really shocking!

No wonder Xu Xingxia was so calm in front of Mo Yuegen. No, not calm at all, but arrogant. It is no wonder that Xu Xingxia dared to counterattack Gansu Town without thinking. It turns out that he is really confident! Perhaps, Xu Xingxia didn't take Mo Yuegen in his eyes at all. What's the big deal about the defeat of your subordinates? For a while, the eyes they looked at Xu Xingxia were all different. If it was pure fear before, now it is awe, reverence and awe. Actually, this is nonsense. Even the people who can clean up Mo Yuegen, how dare they not be in awe and awe?

However, Xu Xingxia, as a person in the bureau, did not notice it for a while. The fact that he shot Mo Yuegen's war horse and caused Mo Yuegen to be injured had no weight at all in his heart. In his opinion, this is really nothing remarkable. What he needs to think about now is how to fight back against Gansu Town. This dog's Mo Yuegen actually dared to give himself a war letter, he was really impatient. If he hadn't taught him a hard lesson, he wouldn't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye had. He pondered for a moment and shouted loudly: "Zhang Yi! Notify Liu Heng and Xia Kewu to come over! ”

Zhang Yi hurriedly went. Soon, Liu Heng and Xia Kewu came in high spirits. The Dragoons and Tiger Cavalry led by them also operated in the vicinity of Jinjiatai, preparing to intercept the Tartar cavalry advancing eastward. After receiving the order, the two hurried over. Seeing the three generals standing next to Xu Xingxia in a daze, Xu Xingxia's face was not very good, and he thought that Xu Xingxia was going to teach them a lesson. I couldn't say it, so the two of them did it directly.

These two guys, sometimes two hundred and five, can't tell the situation clearly, and they don't ask a question when they come up, so they blatantly do it. Young people are more impulsive. Besides, they really don't have a good impression of the officers and soldiers. Especially Xia Kewu, the move is quite fast. Xu Xingxia was stunned for a moment, reacted, and hurriedly waved his hand to stop it. As a result, Dong Daqi had already received two punches.

Xu Xingxia couldn't help but let the two of them stand up, and said, "I called you here to discuss something, not to ask you to fight!" It's all the identity of the commander, and they are still doing it indiscriminately! ”

Xia Kewu muttered in a low voice: "They just owe a beating!" It's a lesson! ”

Liu Heng, who is usually very docile, didn't know where he got his anger, and muttered in a low voice: "My lord, these soft bones, if you pull them out and kill them, it's a waste of food to keep them." We walked around the outside a few times, and many of the officers and soldiers below said that they had not actually seen the Tartars at all, and as a result, the people above ran first, and they had to follow. ”

As soon as Liu Heng said this, Dong Daqi and the others became even more self-conscious. They all drooped their heads, eager to bury their faces in their crotches. Xu Xingxia was only speechless, and it was difficult to say what he wanted to say. He didn't even see the shadow of the tartar, so he ran away in a panic. It is not an exaggeration to shoot such an officer 10,000 times. However, he kept these three people for a purpose. Even if you want to kill them, you have to kill them after you run out of them.

After a while, Xu Xingxia said slowly: "Dong Daqi, even Zhang Haowu knows Zhuang Langwei's situation, as Zhuang Langwei's guard, it is impossible for you not to know, right?" ”

Dong Daqi hurriedly nodded again and again. Frightened, inexplicable and self-ashamed, he now has no autonomous consciousness except passive obedience. Now his mind is blank, what Xu Xingxia tells him to do, he will do it obediently.

Xu Xingxia said methodically: "Very good! Now, I'll give you a chance to make meritorious contributions! As a guide, you will take my troops and take down Zhuanglang City! ”

Dong Daqi hurriedly agreed: "Understood! Your subordinates will do their best! We must take Zhuanglang City! ”

Xu Xingxia nodded and said coldly: "If you can't take Zhuanglang City, you don't have to come back!" We in white really don't need waste of food! ”

Dong Daqi suddenly felt a burst of embarrassment, and felt that the back of his backbone was cold. If someone else says so, maybe he is still a little lucky, and he can get away with it by using some means. However, when Xu Laomo said this, Dong Daqi knew that he had to get out. Otherwise, if he can't take Zhuang Langcheng, he will definitely not be able to come back. There was no way, he had to wake up the spirit of the twelve-point, and seriously began to think about what to do in order to quickly conquer Zhuanglang City.

Xu Xingxia turned his head to Zhang Yi and said, "How far is the vanguard of the Eagle Cavalry Army from Zhuanglang City?" Do you know the situation inside Zhuang Lang City? ”

Zhang Yi said cautiously: "There is a squadron that has arrived near Zhuanglang City. According to the latest news they fed back, the Tartars already had troops stationed in Zhuanglang City. The exact number of people is not known for the time being. Our men went late, and the Tartar army entered the city. However, judging by the horseshoe prints left behind, there should be about 3,000 people. ”

Xu Xingxia frowned. There are 3,000 Tartars stationed in Zhuanglang City? With the addition of the original Lu family, it is a garrison of 4,000 people. It seems that a sneak attack is unlikely. The only way to attack is to attack. Fortunately, there are no cannons in Zhuanglang City, and it is still more feasible to use blasting. He pondered and said, "How are your vulture cavalry preparing for the attack?" ”

Zhang Yi said confidently: "No problem, everything is ready, and the explosives package is enough." ”

Xu Xingxia looked at Liu Heng and Xia Kewu again, and said slowly: "What about your two respective troops?" Are you ready to attack? Is there enough explosives packs? ”

Liu Heng and Xia Kewu hurriedly said that their troops were fine. The advantage of explosives bags is that they are easy to carry. As long as a hundred horses are freed, you can carry a large number of explosive packs. It seems that the ratio of personnel and war horses to each unit under the White Army is basically one to two. In other words, every warrior has at least two horses. Some special troops, such as the Eagle Cavalry and the Eagle Cavalry, each soldier even has more than three war horses to ensure sufficient mobility at any time and quickly move to different locations.

Everyone has the advantage of having two horses, in addition to being able to travel long distances more easily, and can also carry more logistics. You don't need to carry much of the Mini bomb itself. Three hundred rounds per person can be used for a long time. Each squadron had spare mini shells, which could be rationed if needed for battle. As for the propellant, it has no weight in itself. Other than that, it's the basics like dried beef.

However, the weight of water is heavier. Generally speaking, when the soldiers of the white-clothed army set out on the expedition, each person had to carry at least three large bags of water, and the total weight was close to ninety catties. In the northwest region, many battlefields are seriously short of water, whether it is people or war horses, it is absolutely impossible to do without water. This time to attack Zhuanglang City, the white-clothed army also needs to carry a large amount of water. Because, no one knows, when the Tartars are desperate, they will not pollute the water source. At the mouth of the Sancha River, the white-clothed army used such a trick. It is estimated that the Tartars also understand. Of course, the water of the Zhuanglang River is flowing, and the water flow is relatively large, even if it is polluted, it will not last for a long time.

Xu Xingxia paced back and forth in place, pondered for a moment again, suddenly stopped, and said decisively: "Zhang Yi, Liu Heng, Xia Kewu, each of you leads your own troops to rush to Zhuanglang City at the fastest speed!" Find a chance to take down Zhuang Langcheng! Don't forget to bring extra explosives packs! There are no cannons in Zhuanglang City, just blast into the city! This battle was commanded by Zhang Yi! Go ahead! ”

"Yes!"

The three of them agreed, and turned to go.

Dong Daqi was naturally unceremoniously dragged away.

"Someone! Notify Gao Meng, Gao Jie, Gao Yigong, and Zhang Feng to arrive! Xu Xingxia quickly issued an order. Since Mo Yuegen made a request for a field battle, he was ready to satisfy the other party. It turned out that Xu Xingxia's idea was that the battle was fought in the territory of Ningxia Town, and now it seems that the battlefield can be completely transferred to the territory of Gansu Town. In other words, in Ningxia Town, there is no need to clear the wilderness, and the production and life of the people will not be affected by the battle at all.

Obviously, this is the most desirable outcome. Keep the enemy out of the country, and the country will not suffer direct losses. This is very critical for Ningxia Town, which is just in the initial stage of development. It seems that the area around Jinjiatai was originally very good arable land, and it can be fully utilized. If it is ruined because of the battle, the losses are great. In the area under the jurisdiction of Jingyuwei alone, there are more than one million acres of cultivated land! If it goes well, it can produce more than one million stone of grain every year, and it can feed two or three hundred thousand people!

Zhang Haowu and others revealed a very important information, that is, the Tartar cavalry has not yet been fully deployed. Those cities that are not equipped with cannons are a good opportunity for the white-clothed army. Liu Fengxi would never have thought that the order he gave for the sake of seeing the society would end up being cheaper than not only Mo Yuegen, but also the white-clothed army. In this world, not only Mo Yuegen knows how to exploit loopholes, but also the white-clothed army. Isn't Mo Yuegen going to be able to hunt? All right! I'll hunt with you! I will put the battlefield in Gansu Town! Let you be aggrieved in Gansu Town for the rest of your life!

Because he needed to wait for the cooperation of the infantry, Mo Yuegen's attack this time was obviously much slower. This gave the White Army a chance. The current white-clothed army, all cavalry, is much faster than the infantry in action. Moreover, when the white-clothed army attacked the city, it used a large number of explosive bags and did not need to carry bulky siege equipment, which was also the key to moving quickly. If it is a general nomenclature, if you need to tow the artillery, the marching speed will be a turtle.

As long as he controls the east side of Gansu Town, it is equivalent to pinching Mo Yuegen's forward throat, and it is impossible for him to move forward. The only thing he could do was to continue to walk around the town of Gansu. His original purpose was to plunder. Now, he is forced to go around in Gansu Town, only consumption, no gain, it is estimated that he will soon go crazy. Gansu Town, a rotten place, what good things can be! This time, Mo Yuegen will definitely lose more than he gains!

A day later, the commanders of the white-clothed army came one after another. For Mo Yuegen, everyone's morale is needless to say. They already knew that Xu Xingxia was going to fight back against Gansu Town. What they are looking forward to now is what kind of task they will undertake. Xu Xingxia did not say anything politely, and when the personnel arrived, he immediately began to arrange combat missions.

"Gao Jie, Gao Yigong, your task is to attack Liangzhou Wei from afar! Find a chance to take down Liangzhou City! Zhang Haowu will show you the way! The battle of Liangzhou Wei is commanded by Gao Jie! In addition, on the way, you will control Gulang City in your hands by the way! I don't know the situation in Gulang City for the time being, it is estimated that there will be a fierce battle, you must be fully mentally prepared! ”

"Zhang Feng, Gao Meng, your task is to attack Xiningwei from afar! Find a chance to take down Xining City! Zhao Zhenglong will show you the way! The battle to recover Xiningwei is commanded by Gao Meng! Once Gulang City is conquered by friendly forces, and you conquer Xining City, transfer the main force of the army to the area around Gulang City! Stop the frantic counterattack of the Tartar cavalry! I estimate that if we take Gulang City, the Tartars' counterattack will be fierce. ”

Xu Xingxia's battle plan was to march the three-way army in unison, with a fierce and mighty momentum, and cut off all the roads of the Tartars to the east. In the middle lane are Zhang Yi, Liu Heng, and Xia Kewu, with a total strength of about 5,000 people, the first target is Zhuanglang City, and the second target is Gulang City. The south road is Gao Meng and Zhang Feng, with a total strength of about 3,000 people, the first target is also Zhuanglang City, and the second target is also Gulang City. The north road is Gao Jie and Gao Yigong, with a total strength of about 5,000 people, the first target is Gulang City, and the second target is Liangzhou City. As long as the goal of the three-way army is achieved, Mo Yuegen will be completely blocked in Gansu Town.

After all the armies were dispatched together, Xu Xingxia's side, in addition to the chasers who were responsible for the vigilance task, there were also Zhang Feng's wolf cavalry army and Han Xiaodao's snow shame army. Other than that, there are no other main forces. At present, the Leopard Cavalry is still in the vicinity of Xi'an Mansion, responsible for monitoring the movements of Xi'an Mansion. The Shooting Army and the Qing Cavalry Army were all preparing to attack Yulin City. The Xiao cavalry army guarded the Bayannur grassland. In the short term, none of them will be able to reinforce the front. In other words, Xu Xingxia's plan is a one-shot deal, and he is going to fight Mo Yuegen.

However, Xu Xingxia estimated that from the current use of troops, it is still sufficient. The terrain of Gansu Town is very complicated, and the plain area is not as spacious as Ningxia Town, and in many areas, large troops cannot be fully deployed. In fact, as long as the white-clothed army successfully took Gulang City and Liangzhou City, the armies of Xiningwei and Zhuang Langwei could be withdrawn, either to reinforce the front line, or to be used as reserves.

To be more precise, as long as the white-clothed army controls Gulang City, Mo Yuegen's eastward path will be cut off. Therefore, Gulang City is the key. Vaguely, Xu Xingxia had a feeling that the focus of contention between himself and Mo Yuegen was very likely to be this unknown Gulang City. At that time, Gulang City was just a small place where a thousand households were located. However, its vital position is destined to become the bloodiest battlefield.

It is estimated that if Mo Yuegen learns about Xu Xingxia's battle plan, he will definitely faint. Because, what he is most worried about is that the road to the east will be cut off. If the road to the east is cut off and he stays in Gansu Town, there will be no point in him. The town of Gansu is a rotten place, full of holes, and there is not even a decent house. If you want food without food, if you want wealth without wealth, if you want livestock without livestock, you will have nothing. Such a place is not his goal at all. Gansu Town, just his passing.

However, Xu Xingxia wants to regard this passing place as a place to stay for a long time, and Mo Yuegen will definitely not be able to stand it. If you can't stand it, then you can only attack desperately and open the passage to the east. In other words, you must conquer Gulang City. This means that after the white-clothed army takes Gulang City, it will definitely suffer from the crazy attack of the Tartars.

For taking Gulang City, Xu Xingxia is full of confidence. The only deficiency in the equipment of the white-clothed army is the lack of heavy weapons, especially long-range artillery and the like. And Gulang City just didn't have artillery. What capital does a town without artillery have to block the attack of the White Army? Therefore, if Mo Yuegen wants to come to the east smoothly, I am afraid that it is unlikely.

"Liu Chuang, clean up, let's go to Gulang City!" Xu Xingxia said slowly.
