Chapter 424
Liang State, a decisive battle that could determine the rise and fall of the country, like a thunderbolt ready to go, is about to begin vigorously.
Wei Qing received urgent news from the barbarians.
Wei Qing knew that there could be no more delay at this moment. The main cavalry of more than three million barbarians under his command must withdraw from this cruel battlefield as quickly as possible and return to the barbarian territory quickly.
There was no time to lose. Wei Qing must always be prepared to deal with the war that might suddenly break out and sweep across the entire border.
Once the barbarian court discovered the changes here, it would certainly not sit idly by, and the Xia State would most likely face the blow of a dynasty.
Liang State, although it suffered considerable losses in the recent battle, its court was not willing to give up and continued to dispatch main corps from all over the country.
Finally, the mighty army arrived at the front line.
These endless fresh forces seemed to have injected new vitality into the Liang State army, making them full of confidence on the eve of the decisive battle.
Not only was Wei Qing's front facing tremendous pressure, but Yang Zaixing's side was also facing tremendous pressure.
Yang Zaixing led the once-powerful Han cavalry, like a violent storm, to break through the blockades carefully arranged by the Liang army.
After that, they were like ghosts, harassing the rear of the Liang army and the vital grain road.
Every attack was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of the Liang army on the front line hard, making them fall into pain and helplessness all day long, and they were miserable.
In order to completely change this extremely unfavorable situation for Liang, the Liang court made a painful decision, as if to bet all the bets on this decisive battle.
They mobilized almost all the main forces, like a group of ferocious lions, and rushed to the front line filled with gunpowder.
These assembled elite divisions seemed to carry the expectations and sustenance of all the subjects of Liang, ready to show the unyielding spirit and strong strength of Liang in this life-and-death decisive battle.
This just fits Wei Qing's intention.
After discussing with Yang Zaixing and Guan Zhong, Wei Qing also decided to end the war as soon as possible.
Xiangan City, an important military base of Liang State, is an important military town that cannot be abandoned after the Liang army retreated several times. Once the Zhenbei Army takes it, it will be unimpeded to reach the capital of Liang State.
"General Yang, the Liang army is here, and our army can only launch a strong attack."
The terrain of Xiangan City is very special. The towering mountains on both sides are like two natural barriers, lying in front of us, giving people an insurmountable sense of oppression.
If you want to reach the capital of Liang State and completely destroy Liang State, you have to conquer Xiangan City, which is like a solid rock. Its strategic position is self-evident.
"Then let's really fight! Our Zhenbei Army has never been afraid of hard battles. The more difficult and dangerous it is, the more we can show our bravery and fearlessness!"
Yang Zaixing's eyes flashed with a firm light, as if he could penetrate the many obstacles in front of him.
The Liang army, however, was like a stubborn rock entrenched in the city, holding on tightly and refusing to give up the city easily. At this time, it seemed that there was no use to use those clever strategies. There was only one way in front of them - a strong attack.
"In this case, let's start preparing! There will inevitably be sacrifices in this battle, but as long as we can take Xiangan City, all the efforts will be worth it!"
Guan Zhong and the other man looked at each other with determination in their eyes. They resolutely decided to use the 2 million Zhenbei Army in their hands to face the Xiangan City with nearly 3 million defenders.
For the Zhenbei Army, the combat situation was indeed very unfavorable.
However, they were not without advantages. With their excellent equipment, they were confident that they could close the distance between them and the enemy and break the seemingly unbreakable deadlock.
As time went on, the atmosphere of the war became more and more tense, and the imminent momentum was suffocating.
The soldiers of Zhenbei Army were fearless and did not need any mobilization or encouragement. After several rounds of fierce volleys, they rushed towards the stubborn Xiangan City like a group of angry beasts.
The Liang Army on the opposite side also knew the importance of Xiangan City. They knew that once it was lost, there would be no way out, so they fought with all their strength.
For a moment, the whole battlefield seemed to be ignited by a raging fire, and the fierce battle kicked off a thrilling prelude.
The soldiers of both sides fought a desperate battle on this battlefield of blood and fire. Every inch of land was stained with blood, and every shout was full of life and death.
At the same time, Wei Qing's side also started.
In front of Wei Qing, a prince of Liang State led the army in person, gathering nearly five million troops. These were the last main force that Liang State could show off.
Once the two placesIf something unexpected happened on the battlefield, Liang would have no chance to turn the tide. This shows how much Liang would value this war, which was related to the fate of Liang.
It was unrealistic for a 5 million-strong army to defend the city. Moreover, the barbarian cavalry was mainly mobile and would not attack the city guarded by a large army.
So, the prince of Liang thought of a way to deploy the army in front of a mountainous area, and then sent someone to send a letter of war to Wei Qing.
"This prince is quite interesting. He is urging me to fight him at this time."
"Very good. This is also in line with my wishes. Come on, order the army to gather and set off immediately to prepare for a decisive battle."
Fearing that Wei Qing would not come, the prince was very arrogant in his letter, shouting about how barbaric the barbarians were.
In fact, there was no need at all. Wei Qing was waiting for them to gather.
Unlike the pure Zhenbei Army, although the barbarians had been trained and were considered a member of the Zhenbei Army, their essence was still barbarians, and their living habits could not be changed in a short period of time.
Therefore, in the subconscious of the people in the North, the barbarians are still regarded as foreigners. To be honest, they don't care much about the sacrifices of the barbarians in the war.
The generals in the North are more concerned about the value of the barbarians. As for some losses, they are not worth mentioning for the vast barbarians.
And it is not so difficult for the North to conquer the barbarians now.
Wei Qing came with a fierce momentum, as if he was angered by the war letter from Liang.
Three million against five million, a cruel battle began.
The two sides had nothing to say, and Wei Qing did not show up. Although the other side knew that the barbarians were related to the North, they didn't know what was going on.
This level of war cannot be ended in a short period of time, nor can everyone rush in until the winner is determined.
This must be a protracted war.
After the war began, the shadow of the North began to play a role, constantly providing Liang with intelligence, supplies, defense, troops and other intelligence. The rapid transmission brought great benefits to the Zhenbei Army and was also an important factor in determining the direction of the war.
