As for Wanquan, this fledgling young general, although his determination is not as firm as Zhu Xu's, his vigor cannot be ignored.

As long as General Cui arrives in time, and as long as the Beifu soldiers come to support him, let alone Qinzhou, even if he goes straight to Chang'an City, it is probably a piece of cake, and that's true.

On Qinzhou City, Yao Xing, who was watching the situation, also saw the soldiers and horses in the distance, and sighed: "It came so fast!"

"It seems that Di Qin still has some strength." Next to Yao Xing, stood an eight-foot-tall man with unusual burliness. He was the most important counselor around Yao Chang, Yao Xing and his son, Yin Wei.

It seems that this person has some connections with these Qin soldiers, just because the Tianshui County they guard is Yin Wei's birthplace.

He is a Tianshui person.

"You Sima, look, how should we respond?"

"I received a tip today that the main force of the Jin army has arrived near the Wei River. If they support the Qin army, our army will be in a disadvantageous situation."

This is actually a very real problem. For the current Yao Qiang tribe, guarding Qinzhou is the biggest task.

After all, the enemy's first wave of offensive is always the most violent and the most thoughtful. Fighting is all about fighting with momentum.

Momentum is something that often declines over and over again. If the enemy can be defeated when they attack in large numbers, it will be a major benefit to Yao and Qiang's tribe.

Besides, if you can't defend Qinzhou, wouldn't other places be even more dangerous?

Not to mention Di Qin, even if the Jin army came to attack from a long distance, the Yao and Qiang tribe knew exactly where their goal was.

Chang'an!

Only Chang'an!

Both the Qin Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty coveted this thousand-year-old capital. If they could conquer Chang'an in one fell swoop, they would do whatever it took.

This is a very clear strategy, almost a conspiracy on the surface.

It was precisely because they understood the importance of the Battle of Qinzhou that the two generals, Yao Chang and Yao Xing, and his son, all gathered here.

I hope that I can deal a heavy blow to the Northern Expeditionary Army in one fell swoop.

However, now, they are the first to be hit hard.

Zhu Xu's first attack caught them off guard. They suddenly discovered that Di Qin and Da Jin, who had always been incompatible with each other, had joined forces!

How can this be?

Could it be said that Fulong sent Zhu Xu to Tianshui just for this day?

It has to be said that even the witty and cunning Yin Wei was shaken by this move, which he did not expect at all.

"Your Majesty, before the Northern Expedition troops come for reinforcements, we should strike first!"

This is natural, and Yao Chang will not fail to understand this truth.

Although soldiers are said to be deceitful, the strategies on the battlefield are actually not that profound. In terms of timing, they often use various means to create time differences and seize rare opportunities to attack.

"I think they still have less cavalry and are mainly infantry. Xing'er, go ahead and lead the cavalry to charge!"

Take the initiative!

Facing Di Qin, the current Yao Qiang tribe can be said to be full of confidence. After all, they have been confronting them for several months. Yao Chang knows clearly how strong these defeated soldiers are.

The reason why the old horse stumbled in Tianshui was because Tianshui was originally in the hands of Di Qin.

Originally they did not belong to Yao Qiang. They just wanted to capture Tianshui. Therefore, it is completely normal that Tianshui has not been captured. As for the Di Qin troops being forced to Qinzhou City now, it is entirely because of the forewarning.

Underestimation does not mean that the Qiang army is not strong enough.

Yao Xing took the order, organized his men without saying a word, and went straight to the goal!

The so-called surprise attack is all about suddenness, leaving the enemy unprepared. As the eldest son of Yao Chang and currently the most capable general in Yao Qiang's tribe, Yao Xing certainly knows this well.

Leading the army out of the city, they seized the gap where the Di and Qin troops had not yet established a firm foothold, so that they could make a surprise attack.

After all, they have Qinzhou City behind them.

Overall, there are still advantages.

Outside the city, Wan Quan and Zhu Xu were ready.

The war is about to break out!

Full of danger!

"I hope Beifu soldiers can come to reinforce us as soon as possible!"

Looking at the dust rising in the distance, Wan Quan sighed like this. Although he had never seen it before, he had also heard Wan Quan talk about it. There was a mysterious firearm among the Beifu soldiers. It was so powerful that every time it struck,

It can sweep down a large area.

The reason why Beifu has won consecutive battles is because of the help of these artifacts, and these artifacts definitely represent a new force on the battlefield.

That power is completely incomparable to the swords and guns in their hands now.

In other words, without firearms, it would be difficult for the Beifu soldiers to capture so much territory just by relying on their strength.

But now, the combined forces of Jin and Qin that rushed out of Tianshui faced the roaring Yao and Qiang tribe. Their combat effectiveness was definitely higher than that of Di Qin at that time.

With the little things they currently have in their hands, it's uncertain whether they can stop the Qiang's sword.

"Come on!"

"Fire the arrow!"

"Get into formation!"

The cavalry has already rushed out. In an era without firearms, the best way to resist the impact of the cavalry was to use the strictness of the square formation to make the horses have nowhere to step.

This is of course the worst strategy among all, because during the attack, there will definitely be many infantry casualties. Its function is only to delay the enemy's cavalry attack.

Of course, if the battle formation is properly combined, it can also cause a big blow to the cavalry, so a group of skilled archers is necessary.

At this time, it depends on General Zhu.

The moment the city gate opened, countless arrow clusters flew down from the city tower like a waterfall.

There is no need to doubt Yao Qiang's archery skills. Their hit rate was always number one before the collapse of Di Qin.

As a result, a wave of arrows rained down, and many Jin troops who were rushing ahead were affected, causing numerous casualties.

Although they knew that it was a battle with a huge disparity in power, the soldiers had no fear because they already knew that as long as they persisted here for a moment longer, they could buy more time for the Northern Expedition.

Yes!

Wang Mi thought so too.

So, at this moment when Tianshui was stabilized, he immediately went along the Mian River to the Weishui River and headed straight for Qinzhou!

Zhu Xu and others must be reinforced as soon as possible.

However, before reaching Qinzhou, the leading force of the Northern Expedition, the Jingzhou troops led by Huan Chong, encountered an attack from the Yao and Qiang tribes.

These arrangements were prepared from the beginning.

According to Yao Chang's initial prediction, the Jin army did not have good intentions. If such a large-scale army was just to deal with a Tianshui County, it would be too large a force.

According to the Jin army's account books, these cities occupied by Yao Qiang must also be targets.

For a long time, news of the Jin army's activities near the Liangshui River has been continuously reaching Chang'an. It would be a lie to say that the Yao family and his son were not in a hurry.

They had long known the size of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and their strength was also known to both father and son.

The reason why they have been allowed to stand still and be so honest is because the Jin army is so powerful!

So many important towns of Di and Qin, as well as the distant city of Ye, were all captured by the Jin army one after another. Although Yao Qiang has never directly fought with the Jin army so far, in their hearts, the Jin army

It is also an invincible myth.

That kind of invisible deterrence is quite huge.

As a result, the Yao and Qiang tribe, who had never seen the mysterious weapons of the Jin army, were shocked by their legends.

Don't dare to rush in easily.

They only dared to garrison along the Wei River. However, even though they were prepared in advance, they were still praying silently: Don’t come this way!

Go attack Tianshui!

It's a good place there, we can surrender without a fight!

Since the collapse of Di Qin, the Yao Qiang tribe has never had a direct confrontation with the upgraded Beifu soldiers, so they still feel guilty.

Yao Chang still had a certain sense of luck. On the one hand, he also understood that it was impossible and absolutely unjustifiable for the army to arrive and the coast of the Wei River to be completely undefended.

However, Yao Qiang still placed his bets mainly on Tianshui and Di Qin. He prayed that there would at least be a battle here first and that Yao Qiang would be able to see the legendary artifact.

This way it’s better to be prepared in advance.

As for this battlefield, it is best to be in Tianshui and turn this place into a battlefield. It is Di Qin's territory anyway, so Yao Chang won't feel bad.

Who would have expected that the Northern Expedition army would turn around and head towards Qinzhou!

Therefore, when the Beifu soldiers came along the river, they discovered that the defenses along the Weishui River were quite imperfect, and even the personnel were not fully equipped.

What's happening here?

Isn't this a great opportunity?
