Chapter 857

Forty thousand people took part in the oath in Baishi pass, but in fact, less than thirty thousand people left the pass with Yan Liqiang, because among the people taking the oath, there are defenders of Baishi pass. These defenders, led by Tieyun mountain, take charge of Baishi pass, not only to ensure the safety of Baishi pass, but also to be responsible for the logistics supply of Yan Liqiang's army, although they are not in the front line, But the responsibility is also not light.

Yan Liqiang led the troops, in addition to 17000 dragon teeth army, there are 10000 cavalry of Ganzhou army supported by Lei Sitong, with a total of 27000 people.

Among the 17000 people of the Dragon tooth army, Yan Liqiang's bow cavalry has about 12500 people, which is divided into five battalions. Yan Liqiang personally serves as the main generals of the two battalions. Shi Changfeng, Shen Teng and Shi Dafeng each take one battalion. The elite trained by the whole bow society almost poured out. These 12500 people, It is also the collection of Yan Liqiang's hard work in the years after he returned to Ganzhou.

There are also 5000 troops in the Longya army, which was formed after the survival of the fittest and strict training of the former Pingxi County cavalry battalion. These two battalions are traditional cavalry in the northwest. Their main weapons are long weapons such as lances and long knives. The leaders of these two battalions were appointed by Yan Liqiang. One is Wang Naiwu and the other is Gong Tieshan, These two men are both strong generals in the army of Qiyun county. Gong Tieshan, one of them, is an old acquaintance of Yan Liqiang. Gong Tieshan is the same as Tieyun mountain stationed at baishiguan. In the army of Qiyun County, he is not only old, but also has the same name. Therefore, he is jokingly called two "iron mountains" in the Longya army by the lieutenant of the army, but one of these two iron mountains is stationed at baishiguan, It is difficult for Shatu people to surpass the thunder pool. There is also an iron mountain, which is too big for ordinary three or five big men to lift.

The cavalry of Ganzhou army is led by Zhao Dachuan, who is divided into four battalions. Zhao Dachuan takes one battalion himself. The battalion generals of the other three battalions are also subordinates of Zhao Dachuan, who are extremely brave.

Yan Liqiang also learned after leaving the customs that among the three battalion generals under Zhao Dachuan, there was a colonel Yingyang named Lei Meng, who was actually Lei Sitong's nephew.

The soldiers and horses leading less than 30000 people wanted to recover Gulang grassland. In the past, if someone heard such rumors, he definitely thought it was a joke, because it was completely impossible. Even four months ago, a cadre general in Qiyun County thought it was an impossible task, but now, no one thinks so, As soon as Yan Liqiang left the pass, the people and horses around Yan Liqiang's army rolled like a snowball. The number of Rangers gathered within 70 or 80 miles of the whole team, as well as all kinds of militia armed groups who made a fortune in Gulang grassland, exceeded 100000.

The Rangers and the militia lingered around Yan Liqiang's army. Starting from Baishi pass, Yan Liqiang's army went, and those people followed. Yan Liqiang's army stopped, and those people stopped. With Yan Liqiang's army as the core, Yan Liqiang didn't even need to send any scouts along the way, As long as there is any disturbance, as long as the enemy is found, those Rangers and the people's regiment will immediately rush to grab their heads. If they can't grab their heads, someone will quickly respond to the situation to the army led by Yan Liqiang.

Like a high-altitude satellite, the flaming eye Golden Eagle shrouds Yan Liqiang's army and pays attention to the situation in all directions at any time. Around Yan Liqiang's army, there are more than 100000 people and horses like marching ants. In this case, the reconnaissance riders of the seven Shatu and black Capricorn people don't want to sneak into Yan Liqiang's men and horses, Even connecting nearly Yan Liqiang and their army within a radius of 50 miles has become the ultimate task of life and death.

Yan Liqiang marched 200 miles on the grassland every day. They didn't hurry or slow. They came all the way for seven consecutive days, but they didn't meet half of the Shatu people. It was like organizing a tour on the grassland. Wang Naiwu, Gong Tieshan, Zhao Dachuan, Lei Meng and other people who wanted to cut their heads were worried and wanted to curse their mother.

However, in the face of such a situation, those who are in a hurry have no way. Yan Liqiang's first goal for this customs clearance is Shatu seven, but Shatu seven gathered around Xingxing lake. In the past two months, those small and medium-sized tribes scattered in Shatu seven, who fortunately survived, have evacuated to gather around Xingxing lake and now Gulang grassland, It's more difficult to find a few isolated Shatu people than to find gold characters in the sand. The movement of Yan Liqiang's army is naturally tense and concerned to the people of Shatu seven. Shatu seven has also sent a lot of reconnaissance and riding teams. However, those reconnaissance and riding teams have become hot goods before they meet Yan Liqiang's army, The Rangers and folk groups gathered around Yan Liqiang's army were picked.

For seven days in a row, Wang Naiwu, Gong Tieshan, Zhao Dachuan, Lei Meng and others only heard the news that some Rangers had cut off the heads of many Shatu people several kilometers ahead, and that boss XX led his brothers to ambush a team of Shatu people. They were all rubbing their hands, but they couldn't even touch a hair of Shatu people, Finally, the 27000 troops were left with only some corpses and blood left on the ground after the battle. In this case, it's impossible to keep people from getting angry.

Only Yan Liqiang, the more he goes, the more determined and unhurried he is.

At noon on the eighth day, Yan Liqiang's troops finally arrived at a place more than 500 miles away from Xingxing lake, that is, here, Yan Liqiang and the "army" sent by the seven departments of Shatu met for the first time... The number of "army" is actually small, at least much less than Yan Liqiang expected, only 40000 people, When the "army" was more than 300 miles away from Yan Liqiang, Yan Liqiang already knew that the army was rushing towards his own team. When it was more than 100 miles away, Yan Liqiang had received the news of scouts in the army. Within a hundred miles, the news of Rangers and civil corps kept coming, and had fully mastered the whereabouts of the "army", Almost every two or three minutes, the news of the "army" of Shatu people came. Because they have too many people and are aggressive, the Rangers and the scattered teams of the civil corps along the way can only avoid them except harassing them. They dare not bump into them. The "army" of the seventh department of Shatu attacked Yan Liqiang fiercely“ The Shatu people sent us their heads... "Yan Liqiang smiled and said to the left and right. When they thought Yan Liqiang would let the army rush towards the Shatu people to kill them, Yan Liqiang then gave an order," everyone stop on the spot, have a rest for an hour, eat something and drink water, This novel has been translated by www.novelhall.com and if you are reading this somewhere, they have stolen our translation
