Xu Xingxia's arrival attracted many onlookers from the officers and soldiers. For the name Xu Xingxia, most of them are unfamiliar. After all, Gansu Town and Ningxia Town are far apart, and as a military household living at the lowest level, it is impossible to know the details of another military town. The high-level leaders of Gansu Town also consciously blocked all news related to Xu Xingxia. However, they have brains, eyes, and they can think of some of them themselves!

They all witnessed the battle just now. I thought that the Tartars were already the most terrible enemy, but I didn't expect that the white-clothed army was even more terrible by the Tartars. The two Tartars of a thousand-man team, in such a short period of time, were cleaned up. If you don't see it with your own eyes, who can believe it? I don't believe it even if I kill it! But now, they all believe it through and through. The white-clothed army is so powerful, as the supreme commander of the white-clothed army, how can this Xu Xingxia not be powerful? It is said that he also has a nickname, called Xu Lao Mo.

However, they didn't know what Xu Xingxia would do with them. Their current identity is that of a rebel, not a rebellious rebellion, but a traitorous rebellion. This is a very serious crime. Although the decision to surrender to the Tartars was not made by them, they were considered accomplices. It is said that what Xu Lao Mo hates most is a traitor. As long as it is a traitor, no one can be spared. Moreover, they also tried to drag the cannons, preparing to help the Tartars to attack the town of Ningxia. Even if there was no previous crime, the last one alone would be enough for Xu Xingxia to dismantle them.

Soon, in the frightened and suspicious eyes of everyone, Xu Xingxia's figure appeared. His face is indeed not very good-looking. There is no warmth in his eyes. He really didn't have a good impression of these rebels in Gansu Town. If it weren't for the fact that they still had use value, maybe he would really go on a killing spree. Surrender the Tartars! There is no more serious crime than this! He tried hard to control his emotions and said awe-inspiringly: "I am Xu Xingxia!" You all stand up for me! All stand up! Stand up straight! ”

Those officers and soldiers, no matter what posture they had before, hurriedly stood up and straightened their waists as straight as possible. This is the first order from Old Demon Xu, if you don't follow it, I'm afraid it will end badly. Especially those officers, they felt that the back of their necks was cold, as if a butcher's knife would be chopped off at any time. Many people are secretly praying that if they can successfully get through this hurdle, they will definitely kill the chicken and return to God. In the face of this Xu Lao Mo, I feel that the pressure is greater than that of Tartar!

Fortunately, Xu Xingxia did not continue to say anything, nor did he give the order to kill. He just waved his hand and let Gao Yigong continue to busy his own affairs. He turned his horse's head and prepared to go to Gulang City. The situation over there in Gulang City, he is not clear for the time being. Whether Mo Yuegen has arrived in Gulang City or not, he has no news for the time being. However, one thing is certain, that is, in the future, Gulang City must be the focus of his and Mo Yuegen's attention.

He needed to defend Gulang City to block Mo Yuegen's path. As long as the white-clothed army cut off the road to Gulang City, Mo Yuegen could only go around the interior of Gansu Town. This is definitely a good time for the Tartars, who are in desperate need of looting materials to replenish their consumption. The purpose of the Tartars going south is very utilitarian. If there is no gain, there is only tossing back and forth, and for them, it is like committing suicide with a slow surname. Toss a few more times, and you'll collapse yourself.

In order to avoid the worst-case scenario of going south in a majestic and high-spirited manner, only to have to return to the north in disgrace, Mo Yuegen had to open the passage of Gulang City and continue to march towards Ningxia Town. Last time in Ningxia Town, although he suffered a little loss and was injured in the hands of Xu Xingxia, on the whole, there was still a certain gain, and it was not a trip in vain. But this time, if he couldn't enter Ningxia Town, he would really have to run in vain.

With such a little capital in Gansu Town, it is simply not enough to plug Mo Yue's teeth. Compared with Ningxia Town, Gansu Town is really useless, and there is nothing to ask for. The grain and forage alone are enough for Mo Yugen's headache. Without a large supply of supplies, he would stay here for two or three months at most. Once it snows and the ground freezes, it will be more difficult for him to move. In other words, the battlefield where the two fought should be near Gulang City.

In Mo Yuegen's hands, there were at least about 40,000 elite cavalry. It is a very powerful force, and it is almost invincible in the field. Unless the white-clothed army had 20,000 cavalry, it would face it head-on, and there was almost no certainty of victory. What's even worse is that by Mo Yuegen's side, there are tens of thousands of rebels in Gansu Town who are fighting together. They were all infantry, and they had siege weapons, and under the supervision of the Tartars, they had a certain ability to attack fortifications.

Therefore, the number of white-clothed troops guarding Gulang City must not be too small. At least not less than one-fifth of the Tartar army, that is, about 10,000 people. However, the current White Army troops have not yet gathered so much. The Vulture Cavalry, the Mastiff Cavalry, the Lion Cavalry, the Dragoon, the Tiger Cavalry, and even the Hunters, with his guard troops, had a total strength of less than 10,000. Unless it is a force attacking Xining City, reinforcements can be rushed as soon as possible.

Where to make up for the shortfall in troops? From these rebels, of course. Mo Yuegen can use the rebels in Gansu Town, and he Xu Xingxia can certainly use the rebels in Gansu Town. For example, the rebels can use it to build artillery, build fortifications, and clear the battlefield. When necessary, large quantities of muskets were brought in from behind, and they were able to temporarily serve as musketeers. With enough troops, when facing Mo Yuegen, he will be much calmer.

"You, this way!"

"You, over there!"

"You, middle!"

Gao Yigong took the warriors of the Lion Cavalry and separated the officers and soldiers of the rebels. Officers must be carefully screened and cannot remain in office. Regardless of whether they really have the intention of surrendering to the rebels voluntarily, they cannot continue to stay in the army. Officers who have surrendered have absolutely no prestige. However, ordinary soldiers can continue to use it. All it takes is to elect a new officer. For this trick, the white army has become more and more experienced. When he was in Jinjiatai, Xu Xingxia used this trick.

Xu Xingxia demanded a high level of merit, organized these officers and soldiers, carried out preliminary ideological education, and then put them into the battlefield as soon as possible. The first thing they had to do was to drag the cannon back to Gulang City to assist the white-clothed army in the battle. Second, it is to help the white-clothed army organize logistics and transportation to meet the needs of front-line operations. This time, the white-clothed army fought from a long distance, and the requirements for logistics and transportation were also very high. Without a guarantee of logistical supplies, there can be no war at the front.

The main task of the white-clothed army's dispatch this time was to control Gulang City. There is no doubt that after the surrender of the officials and troops in Gansu Town, some of the artillery will definitely be used by the Tartars. If the Tartars use cannons to attack Gulang City, the white-clothed army will suffer if they don't have cannons. No matter how powerful the moon gun is, no matter how far the range is, it is not as good as artillery! This point has been fully proved in Ningxia City and Yulin City. In the future of battles, artillery is king.

On the contrary, if these more than 80 cannons can be used by the white-clothed army, it is difficult to say who will bomb whom. I had the advantage of the height of the city walls, and I had the cover of powerful muskets, and it was a little difficult for the Tartars to attack them. As long as there is the cover of the city wall, no matter how powerful Mo Yuegen is, he will only have dry eyes.

"One high achievement! I'll go first! It's up to you! Xu Xingxia said in a deep voice.

Leaving the lion cavalry army with high merit to deal with the follow-up affairs, Xu Xingxia continued to advance with the chasers. He was getting more and more eager to rush to Gulang City. He had a strange intuition, as if he sensed that Mo Yuegen was also hurrying towards Gulang City. Whoever rushes to Gulang City first will be able to seize the opportunity. It makes a lot of sense to strike first and strike later.

At this time, the troops led by Xia Kewu and Liu Heng also arrived one after another. The Chasseurs, Dragoons, Tiger Cavalry and other troops crowded together, and the roads were full of cavalry of the white-clothed army. With the addition of the Lion Cavalry who deal with the aftermath, the number is even greater. The canyon was originally not big, and it was crowded with so many white-clothed cavalry, and it was spectacular for a while. The azure military uniforms, hats of different colors, and shiny bayonets attracted the attention of countless people.

The Ming troops who were lining up on both sides of the canyon surrendered, and when they found that so many white-clothed troops had arrived, their expressions were naturally even more exciting. Many people have changed from the original panic and anxiety to envy and yearning. Some people are even quietly drooling. After all, no one likes to be a traitor by nature. Betrayal is not a rebellion, a riot, or a rebellion. This is a traitor! Any military household understands very well the meaning of betraying the country.

Betraying the country is a felony that is heavier than rebellion. No matter who gets it, it will be difficult to wash off for a lifetime. was forced to be a traitor, and their mood was very unhappy. They went from being officers and soldiers to rebels because of their superiors. If the higher leaders had resolutely resisted the Tartars, they would not have been rebels. However, it is too late to say anything. Now what they have to think about is how to clear their own guilt and become a normal soldier again.

How can you clear your name? The easiest way to do this is to carry the head of a tartar for forgiveness! There is nothing more direct and effective than this. However, with their ability, how can they kill the Tartars? There is only one way, and that is to kill the enemy with the white-clothed army! The white-clothed army fights the main force, and they just need to get a wrong hand on the side.
