Chapter 374 The Battle of Fuping Begins

As a top-notch general, Xue Rengui is the person that Li Qian will focus on training next. So of course Li Qian will consider taking Xue Rengui with him in the battle of Fuping.

The two fierce generals Huang Zhong and Li Siye have reached the peak of their personal abilities, one with a martial power of 108 and the other with a martial power of 105. Li Siye can also command a special force called the "Tang Dynasty Modao Team". Li Qian decided to take them with him.

The Tang Dynasty's Modao Team can even fight against cavalry. It's a good opportunity to see whether the Modao of the Tang Dynasty's Modao Team is sharper or the iron armor of the Iron Pagoda is stronger.

In addition, Li Qian decided to bring Li Xiuning along.

Li Xiuning is a skilled military officer and can also provide the aura of a deputy general. Li Xiuning's special unit, the "Women's Army", also has a certain restraining effect on cavalry.

In this way, four places have been taken up.

"Can we bring Wang Yanzhang along?"

Li Qian thought that Wang Yanzhang and Hua Mulan were about to return to Xiao Lingxue's forces in Liangzhou. Li Qian wondered whether he could bring Wang Yanzhang, a brave general, with him in the battle of Fuping?
Hua Mulan's function and role are relatively large, but her martial arts skills are definitely not as strong as Wang Yanzhang, a fierce general in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

Wang Yanzhang's actual martial strength may exceed 108. It would certainly be best if we could bring this peerless warrior with us to the Battle of Fuping.

"Ding, Wang Yanzhang is not one of your generals, so he cannot be selected as a general to participate in the battle."

The system's cold prompt poured cold water on Li Qian.

That's true. If you can borrow generals at will to attack epic battle copies, the difficulty of epic battle copies will be greatly reduced.

The system should have taken this reason into consideration, so the player can only choose his own generals and soldiers to participate in the battle.

"Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, Shi Wansui, Mu Guiying."

Li Qian selected four more powerful generals.

至于8000兵马，李乾选择玄甲军、西凉铁骑、辽东铁骑在内的5000名精锐重骑兵，以及1000名大唐陌刀军、1000名娘子军、1000名钩镰枪兵。

These are elite troops capable of hand-to-hand combat.

If you want to defeat the brave and warlike first generation Jin army, you have to be braver than them.

All soldiers killed in the epic battle copy can be resurrected, so Li Qian can devote all his main forces to the battle without worrying about casualties.

In this way, Li Qian had the confidence to fight against the first generation of Jin army.

Otherwise, the price of cooperating with the Song army to defeat the 80000 elite Jin army would be enough to make Li Qian feel heartbroken.

Because he had the experience of attacking the epic battle copy last time, Li Qian was familiar with the process this time. He assembled 8,000 soldiers in the parade ground and prepared to attack the copy.

"Now that we have completed our mission, it's time to return to Liangzhou."

Hua Mulan and Wang Yanzhang saw Li Qian, so they took their horses and said goodbye to Li Qian.

"Thank you for your efforts in pacifying Nanyang this time. Here are some travel expenses and gifts for your lord. Please accept them."

Li Qian waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to deliver a batch of gold, silver and jewelry to win over the two generals Hua Mulan and Wang Yanzhang.

Hua Mulan and Wang Yanzhang were both very popular generals in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It would be best if they could be used by the emperor in the future.

Even if they don't work for themselves, they may have to borrow from Xiao Lingxue in the future.

"We are here on orders, no reward is needed."

Hua Mulan declined the gold, silver and treasures.

During the period when Hua Mulan and Wang Yanzhang worked for Li Qian, Li Qian lent two generals, Gao Xianzhi and Qin Liangyu, to Xiao Lingxue to attack the Di tribe in the mountains of Longnan.

It was an exchange of interests between the two parties, so Mulan did not accept any thank-you gifts.

"Then consider it as a gift from me to you two and your lord. Perhaps we can cooperate in the future." Li Qian insisted on giving it to Hua Mulan and Wang Yanzhang.

Considering that their lord might need this batch of gold and silver treasures, Hua Mulan and Wang Yanzhang had no choice but to accept them and return to Liangzhou.

"Dong Zhuo, He Jin, and Yuan Shao are all recruiting soldiers. Something might happen in Luoyang. We should have a chance to meet again then."

Li Qian watched Hua Mulan and Wang Yanzhang leave.

Qin Liangyu and Gao Xianzhi were good at mountain warfare. With the help of these two, Xiao Lingxue's Xiliang Army was able to navigate the mountainous terrain of Longnan as if it were flat ground. They penetrated deep into the territory of the Di people, successively broke through the Di tribes, and forced dozens of Di tribes to surrender.

The Di tribe surrendered and provided Xiao Lingxue with a group of brave and combative Di soldiers.

In addition, the Di tribe also had to pay tribute of cattle, sheep, and war horses to Xiao Lingxue to enhance the strength of Xiao Lingxue's forces.

Li Qian, with the help of Hua Mulan and Wang Yanzhang, defeated Nanyang County's competitors, such as the Greatest Emperor of All Time, and successfully became the prefect of Nanyang, dominating Nanyang County and achieving his goal.

This time, neither side suffered any loss, but instead made huge profits.

"Okay, I should turn my attention back to the epic battle dungeon."

After Hua Mulan and Wang Yanzhang left, Li Qian no longer thought about it, but prepared to lead the team into the battlefield of the Battle of Fuping.

"Ding, please confirm your candidates before entering the epic battle dungeon."

"confirm."

"In one minute, you and the person you choose to fight will enter the Fuping battlefield in September of 1130 AD."

"Countdown, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve... three, two, one."

As the countdown ended, a white light flashed, and Li Qian and eight thousand soldiers on the parade ground disappeared.

"Ding, in August of the eighth year of Tianhui, Zhang Jun, commander of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty, issued a manifesto to attack the Jin Dynasty, ordering Wu Jie, the governor of Yongxing Army, to recapture Chang'an, and Zhao Zhe, the governor of Huanqing Army, to recapture Linzhou and Yanzhou. The initial battle was a success, and Zhang Jun looked down on the Jin army."

"When the Jin Emperor heard that the Song army was counterattacking, he urgently ordered Wanyan Zongbing to lead 2 elite cavalry from Luoyang to support Shaanxi, and ordered Wanyan Loushi to lead tens of thousands of troops from Hedong to Suide to stop the Song army from advancing eastward."

"Zhang Jun learned that the main force of the Jin army had entered Shaanxi and believed that the time for a decisive battle had come. He ordered Liu Xi, Liu Qi, Sun Wo, Zhao Zhe, and Wu Jie to assemble five armies, with 18 infantry and cavalry, claiming to have 40, in the Fuping area of ​​the Guanzhong Plain."

"Wanyan Zongfu led the Jin army to the east of Fuping, and the two armies were more than 80 miles apart."

"Please assist the Song army in winning this battle."

The system's cold prompt sounded, giving Li Qian a rough understanding of the battlefield situation before the Battle of Fuping.

When the white light disappeared, Li Qian led 8000 soldiers to the battlefield. He found that his troops were located next to a reed-covered swamp. The Song soldiers used the swamp as a barrier and set up camps, stretching for dozens of miles.

In addition to the Song army, there were also a large number of villagers transporting supplies and setting up camps outside the Song camp.

The 180,000 Song troops were almost the entirety of the Song Dynasty’s Western Army. They were mighty and majestic.

If the villagers who transported grain were included, the size of the Song army would be even larger.

Commanding such a large army, it is inevitable that he would be full of enthusiasm. No wonder Zhang Jun was determined to fight a decisive battle with the Jin army.

In his opinion, the Song army should have a greater chance of winning.

However, he underestimated the terrifying combat effectiveness of the first generation of Jin army.

"First, we need to find our commander-in-chief Zhang Jun and see if we can adjust our deployment before the Jin army arrives."

Li Qian discovered that the Song army had 180,000 soldiers and countless camps, so it was not easy to find the main general of the Song army.
