Chapter 348 The sun was shining brightly, and the Qiang army had not been seen for several days.
Although they only dispatched 10,000 soldiers and horses, it was still a vast area as far as the eye could see.
Although the number of Hui Qiang is small, if you look carefully, you can still see the central foot soldiers of 5,000, the cavalry on each wing of 2,000, and the front and rear formations of a total of 10,000 red Hui Qiang uniforms, just like the maple forest in late autumn.
Fiery red.
However, on the northern city wall, Emperor Zhengcang, who was conducting his own expedition, was not seen, and even Zuo Yuanfeng, the general of the Xining Dynasty, was not seen.
A loud and urgent horn sounded, and dozens of northern soldiers suddenly waved the flags of the Xining Dynasty on the northern city wall.
Long black and gold-patterned dragons circled as the flags fluttered, but it was the city gate.
It was closed tightly and there was no one inside the city.
It was the first time that Deng Si'er stood on such a high place on the city wall and watched the two armies confront each other.
Although he was a little regretful that his own side had not dispatched, he was still extremely excited.
He stretched out his fingers and pointed at the slowly advancing Hui Qiang army, and looked at the side of him excitedly with deep eyes.
Zuo Chi said: "Lord Zuo, look, the Qiang army this time is different from ours.
The weapons and clothes are all different."
Deng Si'er's actions made Deputy General Dou Ba and the nearby sergeants burst out laughing.
However, Deng Si'er's appearance made a fuss, but Deng Si'er was right.
The 70,000-strong Hui Qiang army, coupled with the bloodthirsty and crazy soldiers and an unknown number of fire thunders, are comparable to the Xining army stationed at the northern border, but they have completely different styles. army.
Because the Xining Dynasty was good at making iron weapons, most of the soldiers and generals in the army held long swords or iron spears, but the Hui Qiang army was different.
Back in the Qiang army, no matter the generals or soldiers, everyone was holding the crescent sword tightly.
Not only that, the two cavalry wings of the Xining and Hui Qiang armies are even more different.
Although the Xining Dynasty did not send out a cavalry team, Deng Si'er's observations in the past few days showed that most of the Xining Dynasty's cavalry were wearing light armor, steel helmets, and holding long guns.
But the Hui Qiang army in front of them was different.
I saw the cavalry teams divided into two wings of the Hui Qiang army.
They only wore war robes and actually used scimitars as weapons on their horses.
However, the scimitars in the hands of the cavalry were wider and longer than the scimitars commonly used.
It can be seen from this that among the Qiang cavalry team, the majority should be those with outstanding strength and should not be underestimated.
Suddenly, Hui Qiang drums and horns sounded loudly, and flags fluttered in the wind.
The two wings of Hui Qiang cavalry took the lead in dispatching, while the Chinese soldiers marched forward in an orderly manner, like a mountain wall, shouting the word "kill" every three steps, and they advanced in a calm and leisurely manner.
At the same time, dozens of sergeants standing on the northern city wall were also beating drums and blowing trumpets vigorously, and the soldiers carrying the flag responded by waving the black flag vigorously.
Deng Si'er turned his head and looked around, only to see countless flags fluttering in the wind and making a sound like a black wave sweeping over the land.
"It turns out that this is the battlefield," Deng Si'er suddenly felt emotional and said involuntarily.
But I heard Dou Ba say in a deep voice from the side: "No, Deng Si'er, this is not a real battlefield.
There is no blood fighting, no life and death fight, how can it be considered a real battlefield?
However, I am sure that in a few days, you will be able to see a real battlefield.
At that time, you were sighing. " Hearing this, Deng Si'er looked at Dou Ba's resolute profile, nodded and said: "Um."
But at this moment, another general standing on the city wall said in a deep voice: "Stop."
When Deng Si'er heard the sound, his expression quickly became serious.
Like everyone around him, he looked at the large Hui Qiang army surrounding the city.
I saw the leader of the Hui Qiang army on horseback, at the front of the Hui Qiang army, pointing the scimitar in his hand at the people on the city wall, and said in a disdainful tone: "Listen here, those who know the situation should quickly abandon the city and surrender.
I may be able to spare your lives.
If you don't know the situation, then send someone effective who can use the general's scimitar."
"Who is this person?"
Seeing this, Zuo Chi turned his head and asked Dou Ba softly.
This general had competed with Dou Ba before, and they knew each other somewhat.
When Dou Ba heard Zuo Chi's question, he said: "This man's name is Bazabu, and he is the brother-in-law of He Hu, the fourth son of King Hui Qiang.
Although he is not very shrewd, he is not reckless either.

Even though he only holds a scimitar, he is very good with the scimitar.
Up, even for me, it’s very difficult to deal with it.
He was almost injured by Bazabu's scimitar several times.
This man was very insidious.
He pretended to attack your vital parts with the knife, but in fact the target was your hands and feet.
It’s because of this secret loss from him.”
Zuo Chi nodded when he heard the words and said calmly: "It turns out to be He Hu's person."
Deng Si'er knew very little about the Hui Qiang, except He Qili.
Hearing this, he immediately became confused and said: "Who is He Hu?"
Just listen to Zuo Chi explain: "He Hu is the fourth son of the current King of Hui Qiang.
Like He Qili, he has the right to inherit the leader of Hui Qiang.
The two of them are also notorious rivals in the entire Hui Qiang.
I didn't expect that I would be here today.
The provocation in front of the military formation was actually He Hu’s people.”
Deng Si'er nodded and said: "In that case, wouldn't it just be in line with what you and Mr.
Liu Heng said before?"
Dou Ba also agreed: "No.
Before, we were worried that the general who came was from He Qili, which would be difficult to deal with.
Now it seems that God has really favored me, Xining."
Deng Si'er nodded, looked at the letter of challenge that Zuo Chi had been holding in his hand, and then glanced at the tens of thousands of Hui Qiang troops under the city wall, and said: "What are you going to do?"
Zuo Chi heard the words, gently curved the corners of his mouth, and said softly: "Vice General Dou, can you lend me a bow?"
Hearing this, Dou Ba didn't quite understand what Zuo Chi was going to do.
The secret war letter should not be read out in public.
Although he was confused, Dou Ba turned around and found a large bow that looked very simple.
He handed it to Zuo Chi and said: "This bow is not light, you can see it is enough" After hearing this, Zuo Chi weighed the bow in his hand and said with a smile:
"In my eyes, my target is only a short distance away.
This bow actually looks higher than them."
Listening to Zuo Chi's slightly frivolous words, Dou Ba couldn't help but turn his head and look at Deng Si'er, then stepped away, waiting for Zuo Chi's move.
The other generals on the city wall couldn't help but look puzzled, looking at the man in white clothes and a bamboo hat.
Although he didn't know his identity and what he was going to do now, General Zuo had ordered that today, on the city wall, Above, firstly, you cannot leave the city to fight; secondly, in all matters, you must obey the words of the man in white in front of you.
Moreover, these two orders were not only issued by General Zuo, but also personally approved by Emperor Zhengcang.
I saw Zuo Chi, in the eyes of everyone, hiding his hands under the city wall where the enemy could not see, pulling the bow and arrows, and actually asked Deng Si'er to tie the letter of war to the bow and arrows.
Zuo Chi secretly relied on his inner strength, and suddenly he raised his bow and shot at the flag-carrying man next to Bazabu, the leader of the Hui Qiang army.
Immediately, accompanied by the sound of the enemy falling to the ground, cheers came from the northern city wall: "Okay okay":
