Chapter 923

The date of the black flag army's departure was a few days ahead of schedule because of the war in eastern Xinjiang. After the army was assembled, it set out immediately. This war was different from the past. It was the first war in the sense of protecting the family after the black flag army had a foothold in the southwest. Fang Xie was unwilling to fight in the southwest, so he sent troops to Subei road. After Yang Jian defeated shengtu, there seemed to be no reason to avoid the war between the black flag army and the Sui army anyway.

Since Yang Jian went south, it can be said that the momentum is like breaking bamboo.

He cleaned up Luo Yao's rebels in the north of the river, then invaded the south of the Yangtze River, broke through the ancient academy, then broke down the Jin Shixiong and Jin Shiduo brothers, and finally broke down Liuzhou, killing shengtu's Dasheng country, which was not long after the founding of the people's Republic of China.

It can be said that without that armored army, Yang Jian could not be invincible. Shengtu spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to defeat this armored army. The firearm battalion built by shengtu did cause a heavy blow to the armored army. However, because they did not know about firearms, the soldiers of shengtu firearm battalion could control firearms but did not know the performance of firearms.

The defeat seemed coincidental, but it was also inevitable.

The artillery casting technology of this era was destined to limit the power of artillery, and the casting technology of the Principality of Ross could not be compared with the opru empire.

The best news for the black flag army is that more than half of the armored army under Yang Jian has been lost, and some of the remaining people are injured, which will affect the combat effectiveness more or less. The firearm battalion of fangxie is by no means comparable to that of shengtu, and the combat effectiveness of the black flag army is by no means comparable to that of shengtu.

The army left Zhuque mountain camp and was mighty.

It was only after the summer grain storage season that autumn grain had been planted in the field. After a rain irrigation at the end of summer, a layer of seedlings had sprung up in the field. Fang Jie strictly ordered the soldiers not to trample on the crops, and those who disobeyed the order were beheaded. Hundreds of thousands of troops go out and only follow the official road. Even if they are divided into several roads, they can be pulled out for a long, long time.

Those who set out faster than Fang Xie's team are Fang Xie's messengers.

With the letter written by Fang Xie, several letters rushed to the destination at the fastest speed. The army just started. The messenger had passed Anxian county. When the army arrived in Anxian County, the messenger had almost reached the edge of Luoshui. When the army passed Luoshui, the messenger was almost in Liuzhou.

Riding lightly and walking simply is much faster than the speed of the army.

When Yang Jian received Fang Xie's letter, he was patrolling the armored barracks. This team is the foundation for him to re-establish his country. He didn't expect such a huge loss in the war with shengtu. It is precisely because of this that he paid special attention to the firearms in shengtu's hand. Who would have thought... Da free destroyed shengtu and shengtu's firearms without delay.

After reading Fang Xie's handwritten letter, Yang Jian suddenly stood up.

The expression on his face immediately became dignified, and the anger in his eyes gradually spread out.

"Dongjiang!"

He slapped the letter on the table: "a group of overseas barbarians dare to touch my majesty!"

"What's the matter?"

Da Ziyou standing on one side seems to know how to show Yang Jian's status. He never walks in front of Yang Jian, nor does he let others pay more attention to Yang Jian. He is like a qualified squire, honestly doing what he should do.

"Foreigners dare to attack my East!"

Yang Jian's face was livid and handed Fang Xie's letter to Da Zi. Da Zi looked at it roughly, and then suddenly smiled: "such a trick is not clever, but it is right where your majesty cares most. Fang Xie is so cunning that he should pay more attention in the future."

"What do you mean?"

Yang Jian asked.

"I thought."

Da Zi is used to calling himself a minister: "the purpose of Fang Xie's letter at this time is self-evident. Your majesty didn't see through it because your majesty is his majesty. Do you think... Your majesty has just broken shengtu and almost calmed the chaos in Jiangnan. At this time, who is the most threatening to the imperial court in half of the southwest of Jiangnan? Isn't He Fang Xie?"

"I think Fang Xie's move is just to upset his Majesty's military morale. Fang Xie must have known that shengtu was defeated and worried about your Majesty's move to the southwest, so he compiled such a thing and tried to distract his Majesty's attention. Once his majesty leads the troops to the East, he can take advantage of the weakness of the south of the Yangtze River and return when his majesty sees peace in the East I'm afraid it's too late to come back... Besides... "

Talk freely: "As my subordinates know, there is Zhao Tianzheng in Mu Guangling in eastern Xinjiang. Although these two people did not raise the anti flag, they thought they were different and did not dare to rebel. Most of them were just watching. Once your majesty moved eastward, these two people must think that your Majesty was going to destroy them. Would they not rebel? Take a step back... Even if it was really foreigners attacking, would they take Mu Guangling and Zhao Tianzheng The troops can't resist? Neither of them has been affected by the war. They are energetic and have the strongest combat power... "

He looked at Yang Jian and said, "to solve this plan is to kill two birds with one stone."

Yang Jian's face changed. He was not sure whether Fang Xie was lying.

Da Zi looked at Yang Jian's face and knew that he had moved him, so he continued: "Your Majesty, you think that Fang Xie has been in the southwest and is not less than ten thousand miles away from the eastern Xinjiang. How can he know what happened in the eastern Xinjiang before your majesty? If there is an attack from barbarians, the eastern Xinjiang must be warned by beacon fire, and the speed of message transmission must be very fast... Let's get his Fang Xie again?"

"I thought..."

Da Ziyou said solemnly, "even if there is an invasion by foreign enemies, it's better to deal with civil strife first. If civil strife is uneven, how to deal with foreign enemies?"

Yang Jian shook his head after being silent for a long time: "I'd rather believe it... Send someone to Dongjiang to inquire about the news immediately. In addition... I'll let Zheng Duofu lead the troops to set up defense in the east of Subei road to see what Fang Xie's heart is!"

……

……

Subei Road

With the help of Zheng Qiushui, Fang Xie's men and horses crossed the river on a large scale. Now, under the strong attack of Nalan dingdong and Du Dingbei, Subei road has been basically eliminated. The army has not encountered any resistance, and the weather is beautiful. There has been no rain for more than a month.

This time, Fang Xie brought almost all the elite of the black flag army. Except for Chen Dingnan's men and horses on the other side of Yunnan Road, all the cavalry armies when the black flag army was originally formed arrived. Today's black flag army is really strong, both infantry and cavalry are very strong.

In addition to the original cavalry of the five armies, Fang Xie has not stopped the pace of developing cavalry in recent years. Because the relationship with the barbarians on the grassland is fairly good, especially after Jin Shixiong led the troops to leave in the northwest, the transaction with the barbarians is more smooth and convenient, so Fang Xie can continuously obtain war horses from the grassland.

For both barbarians and fangxie, they seized the most profitable opportunity in the war. When Fang Xie went to the southwest, it was Luo Yao who led the troops to the north. The Huangyang road was empty, and a great land was collected by Fang Xie. When the northern barbarians entered the grassland westward, it was the civil strife of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty. The war between the kuketai Mongolian golden family and the Buddha sect affected the whole grassland, so that the barbarians easily established themselves on the grassland without resistance.

Now, the Mengyuan people want to clean up the northern barbarians, but their troops are really limited.

With the strong financial support of goods all over the world and a steady stream of war horses sent from the grassland, the development of the black flag army is stable and rapid. If Yang Jian didn't have the armored army, I'm afraid he couldn't compete with the black flag army with his troops.

Fangxie has a Jingbu camp. Those Jianghu guests invited by Xiang qingniu in the name of Taoist Zun, those below the sixth grade cultivation are incorporated into the Jingbu camp, and those above the sixth grade are taken by Xiang qingniu. Fangxie has a firearm camp. After several years of careful construction, the combat power of this firearm camp is absolutely shocking.

Fang Xie has well-trained light cavalry and invincible infantry.

It seems that there are only some heavy cavalry missing.

Fang Xie once wanted to build a heavy cavalry. The war horse is not a problem, and the selection is not a problem, but... Even if he is rich in goods, it is too difficult to build a heavy cavalry while supporting the development of the whole black flag army. A heavy cavalry with a size of 10000 people is not war consumption, but the money and food consumed in daily maintenance is a huge sum of money. Moreover, even if all the armour workshops of the black flag army try their best to make them, they can't make 10000 heavy armours in three years.

When the war pays more and more attention to speed, it is difficult for people to choose the combat power of heavy armor at the expense of speed. The speed of heavy Armored Cavalry on the battlefield is much lower than that of light cavalry. Therefore, after several struggles, Fang Xie finally gave up the idea of building a heavy ride.

Nalan dingdong and others then explained that it was at the former site of Tonggu Academy. Just on the way, Fang Xie will come to this place anyway.

There have been many shocking wars here, such as wanxingchen's sword broken tower and Yang Jian's Ping tower.

It was here that Liao Sheng and Chen Zhenyu, who came back from Liuzhou, saw Fang Xie.

Under the wreckage of the pagoda, Fang Xie began to really understand Yang Jian.

Liao Sheng and Chen Zhenyu told Fang Xie what they saw truthfully and in detail, and Fang Xie listened very carefully. These messages are so precious for the future.

Especially after Liao Sheng left, Chen Zhenyu alone monitored the scenes seen during the war. Although Chen Zhenyu didn't understand many things, he just needed to tell Fang Xie what he saw. Chen Zhenyu has many incomprehensible points in his cultivation, but he is definitely an excellent narrator.

Shengtu has created a world!

In Chen Zhenyu's narration, Fang Xie almost immediately thought of this possibility. However, shengtu's accomplishments increased rapidly, and his understanding of practice and the realm of accomplishments were not at the same level. But Fang Xie suddenly thought of a problem... Yang Jian seems to have no understanding of the world.

So... How did he defeat Luo Yao?

Even now, Fang Xie recalled that Luo Yao's Jin Gangjie still had some palpitations.

But in a flash, Fang Xie suddenly thought of another possibility.

He frowned and a thought flashed through his mind.

Yang Jian had no way to suppress Luo Yao, and even hit Luo Yao seriously... When Luo Yao fought a decisive battle with Yang Jian, he could not go to his golden world. Even so, Luo Yao still lost, which shows that Yang Jian's cultivation is absolutely above Luo Yao. But when dealing with shengtu, Yang Jian couldn't cope with the rudiment of shengtu

Why?

The answer is simple.

Fang Xie soon guessed that Yang Jian had such a performance, there were only two possibilities.

First... He's pretending!

Big freedom is around Yang Jian now. Yang Jian can't be wary of big freedom. There is no better way to lower one's guard than to show weakness. Yang Jian deliberately did this in order to relax his guard. Yang Jian neither wants nor dare to expose all his strength in front of Da Zi, because there is no reason why they won't turn against each other.

Second... Yang Jian's cultivation is declining!

If it is the second reason... There must be something wrong with Yang Jian's body, so that his cultivation is slowly declining! When he first came out of Chang'an, he could crush Luo Yao, but now it's difficult to defeat Tu in a row.

Thinking of this, Fang Xie took a long breath.

Whether it is the first possibility or the second, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing for fangxie. The first may prove that Yang Jian and Da Zi do not trust each other and can be used. The second may be the most direct benefit to each other's solution!
