Chen Kaizhi seems to have made up his mind.

His goal is very simple now, but now he ignores everything and just chases the Hu people and beats them up.

As for the others, I will talk about it after I finish beating the Hu people.

He stared at the map and raised his eyes for a long time: "How about Tianshui, Wuwei and other places now?"

Su Ye came from here and went home, and he knew best about what he wanted to come there.

"The public is full of grievances." Su Ye sighed: "Since he was chasing the Hu people, the Hu people repeatedly asked Xiliang to supply food and grass. In order to satisfy the Hu people, they had to impose levies. Moreover, the Xiliang people have always been fierce and refused to surrender, and they were even more incompatible with the Hu people. Now they have been compromised and the court is resentful. Now they are just suppressing by the national teacher. Therefore... the old minister also begs that His Majesty should not treat Xiliang people as a bandit when they advance this time. It is better to follow Liu Bang and enter Guanzhong and make three rules."

Chen Kaizhi nodded: "Since this Western Expedition, we have to save the subjects of Xiliang from the fire and water, so we only punish the evil people and will never harm the soldiers and civilians of Xiliang."

The army continued to move west, but seemed much more cautious, so the marching speed was not fast. In just a few days, more than 10,000 people had fallen from the west.

The Xiliang court tried to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, but they did not know that many Xiliang soldiers had long lost their fighting spirit. Many officers and soldiers came all the way east and surrendered; many people, with their families, moved east one after another.

This so-called solid walls and clear fields now seems a bit like a joke.

Chen Kai ordered the battalions to encounter the soldiers and civilians of Xiliang, so that they would not harm them. At the same time, they still sent a large number of scouts to try their best to find out the news.

Sure enough, Tianshui was already in sight, and a scout came to report that tens of thousands of cavalry from Dasong, Helian, appeared in the rear of the Western Expedition Army. They intercepted the food route of the new army and burned and killed a grain team. However, they did not rashly attack the rear team of the Western Expedition Army. Instead, they were directly stationed near the lake, obviously, in order to block the connection between the Western Expedition Army and the inner barrier.

What should come...is still coming!

Chen Kaizhi did not hesitate, and immediately changed the back team to the front team, and then advanced towards Helian Dasong's territory.

The original forward battalion was responsible for the aftermath as the rear team.

Dada dada...

The scouts of the Hu people were like a whirlwind, reaching the Hu people's golden tent.

Immediately, the man arrived in Helian Khan's tent.

Khan Helian was drinking and having fun with the leaders of various tribes. When he saw the panting scout, he put down his ox horns and wine cups, and the rest of the laughter and laughter were all silent.

"Report to the Great Khan, Chen Jun killed his sword and headed towards Helian Dasong's tribe."

Helian Khan laughed loudly, not caring about it, and then his eyes fell on He Xiu.

He Xiu stood up in a hurry, but his face turned red: "They were trapped. Now His Highness Helian has intercepted the contact between Chen's army and the inner city. The vulgar slaves sent people to the inner city yesterday to spread the news of Chen's defeat. This will inevitably make people in the inner city panic. Therefore, you must not let Chen's army go back and surround him. At that time, all countries will definitely use troops in a hurry. Chen Kai's inner city is in danger and becomes an isolated army. Once he is besieged, he will undoubtedly die."

A tribal leader sneered: "Just spread the news, can people believe that Chen's army was defeated?"

This Hu people are not a fool. Although rumors are powerful, it is simply a dream to make various countries take action based on rumors alone.

He Xiu smiled and explained patiently: "The key to the problem is not here. If it were in the past, rumors would naturally be difficult for all countries to make up their minds. But once they learned that the Chen army was defeated, they would burn their eyebrows. Think about it, aren't all countries worried? If they hesitate, will we Hu people break into Guanzhong? Therefore, they will definitely launch troops as soon as possible and embezzle Chen's territory. Only in this way can they finally bargain with the Khan. What's more, as long as one country can't bear it and starts to use troops, other countries will be idle. Now that Da Chen is empty, whoever takes the lead will get the greatest benefit. Therefore, no one wants other countries to compete for the first place, but they are afraid that once news comes out, all countries will be scrambling to the forefront and cannot patiently wait for the verification of the news."

Helian Khan frowned: "Since that's the case, then immediately send troops to siege the Chen army. In the past two hundred years, no Han people have sent troops in the pass to find us to fight to the decisive battle. Today, Chen Kaizhi has taken the courage of Xiongxin and leopards. Then, it's better, this is the heaven that will destroy the Han Dynasty at the hands of my Khan. He ordered all troops to gather and rush to support Helian Dasong!"

……………………

Countless military horses gathered in one direction.

Within a radius of hundreds of miles, there were continuous camps everywhere. At this moment, Chen Jun also began to shrink.

The lakes in the distance are vaguely visible, but... the Hu people are different from the Chen army. The Hu people ride horses at a very fast speed, so the Chen army is difficult to pursue and can only confront the Hu people.

Near this lake with a radius of dozens of miles, the two armies faced each other, and the Chen army battalions were also arranged nearby. The grain stored in the army was enough to cope with the needs of half a month, and the ammunition was sufficient.

Among them, the New Fifth Battalion on the left wing encountered a Hu Iron Cavalry.

It seemed that the Hu people wanted to take this opportunity to try the depth of the new army, so thousands of cavalry launched the attack without hesitation.

The countless war horses emerged from the flanks of the Fifth Battalion.

The new fifth battalion immediately began to be on guard, and the battalion officer Zhang Chao issued an order to prepare for the battle.

Immediately afterwards, the new recruits subconsciously began to shrink and line up. When they first arrived, they had not set up camps, and had not dug trenches and arranged fortifications. Fortunately, they were well-trained and quickly formed a formation under the leadership of veterans and backbones.

Immediately afterwards, the battle began.

As the muskets shook the sky, it resounded through the sky.

The sound of horse hooves also trampled on the earth like thunder. The Hu people did not take any advantage. After entering the range, more than a hundred people were shot down instantly. The other Hu people's iron cavalry seemed to have been tentatively attacking, so they did not continue to rush, but rushed out frantically and retreated.

The battle was not large in scale and not long, so the results were naturally not abundant, but it made the previously nervous recruits calm down.

Looking at the hundreds of remains of corpses, they gradually realized that the Hu people were just like this.

But in the eyes of Zhang Chao, the battalion officer of the New Fifth Battalion and several brigade officials, they seemed to be deflated balls.

This place is not as good as the inner gate. Once the war starts in the inner gate, you can't escape just by wanting to. After all, there are rivers and forests everywhere, but here is an endless plain. The other party is full of cavalry who are familiar with bows and horses. Once you feel something is wrong, you turn around and leave, and you can't even catch up.

The task of the new Fifth Battalion is to control the northeast of the lake, support the central army twenty miles away, and guard a small hill nearby, occupy some commanding heights, which can be said to be hills, but in fact, it is really a "hill". Compared with the mountains and forests in the pass, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is walking on flat ground.
