Water Margin people

Chapter 1527 The mob

"What do you think? Even if the enemy occupies the mountains, what does it matter? If they want to fight, they still have to come down? What about logistics and supplies? They still have to cross the mountains!"

Liu Qi looked at Qi Huai'en and said that the terrain of Jishishan was too long and not suitable for defending.

"I see! I'll arrange it right away!"

Qi Huai'en immediately smiled and arranged for the army to withdraw.

"It actually makes no difference what he does!"

Wu Jie said that the combat effectiveness of Qi Huai'en's army was really poor, and there was actually no difference between the mountains and the plains.

"Wouldn't this save him from casualties? After all, our main mission is to ensure the safety of the Hexi Corridor. There's no need for him to fight to the death at Jishishan. Safety can open up the depths."

Liu Qi said that he didn't care about the life or death of Qi Huai'en and others, he only cared about his own mission.

"You are so cruel!"

Wu Jie smiled and said.

"It is estimated that these few days are just exploratory battles. The decisive battle will only come when the Lhasa royal family gets involved!"

Wu Jie spoke again.

"I know, but it doesn't matter, those rabble are nothing!"

Liu Qi smiled and said that in this battle he had clearly seen the enemy's combat effectiveness and equipment.

"Don't be careless. They are locals after all. They have the advantage of fighting for a long time."

Wu Jie reminded.

"Report, General, an unknown enemy has appeared in the Dafei River to the west!"

A cavalryman came to report.

"Dafeichuan!"

Liu Qi and Wu Jie's faces changed slightly. Dafeichuan is just northwest of Jishi Mountain, and to the north is Qilian Mountain.

"Could it be those small tribes in the northwest?"

Liu Qi immediately had the answer. To the west of Dafeichuan is Kunlun Mountain, where there are many small tribes. It is an area occupied by some ethnic groups in the Western Regions and small Tibetan tribes.

"Looks like we have to head northwest of Jishishan Mountain!"

Wu Jie spoke.

"Order the army to march northwest to Dafeichuan!"

Liu Qi also shouted orders.

Dafeichuan.

Babur led his army to a mountain pass.

"Set up camp on the spot, and send out scouts fifty miles away!"

Babur gave orders to the soldiers around him.

"General, why don't we head straight to Jishishan? If we attack from both sides, the enemy will surely be defeated!"

A general looked at Babur and asked.

"We have come from afar and don't know what the situation on the battlefield is like. If we rashly join the battle, the success or failure is still uncertain!"

Babur was very cautious, as he only had 20,000 troops this time and could not withstand any losses.

"General, let's stick to our original plan and go directly to seize the Hexi Corridor!"

The others all spoke up, saying that they did not want to fight a war and would rather plunder, as the Hexi Corridor was extremely rich.

"Do you know the time it takes for the enemy to transport their supplies? Just waiting is not a solution!"

Babur said that the enemy's logistics transportation was very secretive this time, and they could not get any intelligence in advance, and did not know when the enemy's logistics transportation would arrive, so how could they plunder? If they waited for the enemy to come, they would be alerted by the enemy.

"Why didn't any of the cavalry we sent out come back? Even if the enemy is powerful, they won't know how to kill them all!"

Some people immediately became suspicious. In order to plunder the Hexi Corridor, they sent a lot of people to gather intelligence.

"Never mind, let's destroy these enemies first, then cut off the Hexi Corridor and plunder it!"

Babur looked at the crowd and said that these small tribes who had been hiding in the Kunlun Mountains because of the war had a very difficult life. Now that they had the opportunity to make a fortune, who would be willing to give it up? Everyone knew that the Central Plains was rich. "Report, General, the enemy army is moving towards us!"

A soldier came to report.

"So fast?"

Babur was a little surprised that the enemy reacted just as his army arrived at Dayechuan.

"Everyone follow me to fight!"

Babur looked at everyone and said.

But what he got in response was an evasive look, and everyone remained silent.

"What do you mean?"

Balbu's face changed. These people actually retreated when the battle was about to begin.

"General, we don't have enough weapons and armor, how can we fight this war?"

One of them looked at Balbu and said, their tribe is hiding in the Kunlun Mountains, supplies are scarce, and their lives are at stake, where do they get the strategic materials?

"You can't fight without armor? You still have swords and bows and arrows!"

Balbu looked at the crowd and scolded them, but they remained silent. These people only wanted to plunder and they were afraid of the strong.

"If you don't defeat the enemy, why would you go to the Hexi Corridor to plunder? Can you afford to offend the Central Plains?"

Babur looked at the crowd and said, if these people want to plunder, they must become enemies with the State of Qi.

"gather!"

Everyone finally made a decision. Babur promised them that they could plunder the Hexi Corridor as they pleased, and even the plains and valleys north of the Kunlun Mountains could be assigned to them.

The 20,000 troops were quickly assembled, and they were facing the 30,000 troops of Qi. Although these troops were newly recruited, they were all fully armored and well-equipped.

"It's really a mob!"

Liu Qi looked at the enemies in the distance and shook his head, saying, if the Tibetans were already poorly equipped, then the people in front of him were completely natives.

"These were all small tribes in the past. It must have taken a long time to gather all these people together!"

Wu Jie looked carefully at the enemy opposite him. From the various flags and strange equipment, he was sure that the enemy before him was a combination of various small tribes.

"kill!"

Babur roared and ordered a charge directly. He was unwilling to wait, as he was afraid that these people would cause trouble again if he waited too long.

"kill!"

Liu Qi did not expect the enemy to charge so directly, so he also rushed forward with his army.

Wu Jie did not move, he just looked at the opposing army.

The two armies charged together, and the difference in combat effectiveness was instantly determined. Relying on their sophisticated equipment, the Qi army charged directly into the enemy formation, forcing the enemy to flee directly.

"Don't mess around, kill!"

Babur roared, but his roar had no effect at all. The hastily assembled army had no power to fight back. When they saw the enemy, they just ran away. Soon the entire army was scattered all over the mountains and plains.

"hateful!"

Babur was furious when he saw this, but Liu Qi had already rushed towards him with a group of soldiers.

Liu Qi knew that this army must have been colluded by someone, and after rushing in, he found Babur.

"kill!"

When Babur saw the enemy general coming to charge, he became murderous. Even if the army was defeated, as long as he could kill the enemy general, he could turn defeat into victory in an instant.

Liu Qi was originally worried that the enemy general would run away, but the enemy general actually charged forward, which was exactly what he wanted, so he swung his sword and chopped straight at Balbu.

"This is not an easy fight!"

Wu Jie looked at the fleeing enemy without frowning. The enemy was still formidable, even vulnerable, but after all, the enemy had lived in the mountains for many years and was very good at escaping. Their army could not even catch up with them.

"Ming Jin!"

Seeing that Liu Qi had suppressed the enemy general on the opposite side, Wu Jie was afraid that Liu Qi would kill the enemy, so he immediately ordered the troops to retreat.
