Your fiefdom gains one soldier every second, what should you do, Queen Mother?

Ying Xuanze led the cavalry and infantry armies into the city. Fortunately, Gaoliu City had built its military camp large enough in the early days of the city's construction to accommodate these troops.

But as the size of his army continued to expand, he would have to set up his military camp outside the city.

But now the entire Yingchuan is his territory, and he can build a barracks behind Gaoliu City.

Firstly, there is better space there, and secondly, most of the troops can be hidden outside the city, concealing part of their own strength.

"Tomorrow is the day to set off for Jubei City..." Ying Xuanze murmured to himself.

Jubei City was actually not far from him, but it still took two or three days to get there.

Fortunately, he obtained a lot of horses from those mountain strongholds, and manpower can also be exchanged with points, so the problem of baggage transportation was solved.

"If possible, I have to deal a heavy blow to Wang Yuan's forces this time. This will be beneficial for me to unify the entire Xiliang in the future..."

Ying Xuanze was thinking as he walked back to the military camp. Soon he came to the house where Zhang Liang lived.

He saw that the house was very bright, and after thinking for a while, he went forward and knocked on the door.

......

The next day, an army of 10,000 was assembled and led by Ying Xuanze himself to Jubei City.

He left 2,000 men to guard Gaoliu Castle, including 1,000 infantry and 1,000 archers. Unless an army of more than 5,000 men came to attack, it would be more than enough to defend the city.

Moreover, his reputation had spread, and even the four major mountain strongholds in Yingchuan were taken away by him, leaving the remaining small strongholds without even the qualifications to commit fraud.

As for Zhang Fei, Zhang Liang still gave him other tasks, so early in the morning, Zhang Fei left with the 5,000 cavalry.

Ying Xuanze looked up at the Huben Army flag dancing in the wind, and his eyes seemed to be burning with fire.

Let this battle let the whole Xiliang know about our Tiger Guards!

At the same time, Wang Yuan's troops had also assembled in the military camp outside Longxi City.

However, unlike the intensively prepared Hu Ben Army, Wang Yuan's army seemed a little lazy, and many soldiers were yawning repeatedly.

Wang Yuan rode over on his horse and shouted, "Everyone cheer up! We are going to suppress the bandits! What's the point of yawning all the time?"

"Sir, we haven't fought a war for many years. Are we going to fight the bandits in Jubei City? We're going to fight them with our heads." A general complained.

"We're not really going to fight to the death, so why are you in such a hurry?" Another general rolled his eyes at the man.

"My Lord said that we should just do it for show, for the Marquis of Zhenxi to see."

"Who with a brain would go and fight Ju Beicheng? Do you think you've lived too long?"

"Alright, alright!" Wang Yuan interrupted the two.

"Everyone, stay serious when you get outside Jubei City! We are sending out the entire army this time, and we must shock that guy named Ying!"

"Let him open his eyes and see who is the master of Xiliang!"

"Yes!" everyone responded loudly.

"set off!"

Three days later, the North City was captured.

"Report! A spy outside the city sent a letter saying that a large army is marching towards our city!" A bandit ran into the hall and said to the men in the hall with a fist salute.

Several men looked at the bandit at the same time. They were wearing similar clothes and had white fox tails hanging around their waists.

"There are actually soldiers coming to attack? We haven't seen this in years." A big man with a stubble on his face said in a deep voice.

This person is Zhou Wei, the fourth in command of Jubei City. He was a cook in his early years. He fled because he killed a customer with a knife. Six years ago, he came to Jubei City and became a bandit.

"The Northern Hu tribe is behind us. Which blind general comes here to ask for trouble?" This time it was the sixth in command, Xu Chao, who spoke.

Several people looked at the man sitting on the bench in the hall. He was the mayor of Jubei City and also their boss.

Tuoba Wu was a northern Hu person. In his early years, he left the Hu people area with his two brothers and went to Xiliang. The three brothers developed a force with their abilities, which later expanded into the current Jubei City.

The first three heads of Jubei City were the three brothers of the Tuoba clan. It was precisely because they were Northern Hu people that they were able to gain the support of the leader of a Northern Hu tribe.

Tuoba Wu lost an eye in the process of building his own power, but this also made him famous. Whenever people in Xiliang mentioned the "One-eyed Tiger", they would know it was Tuoba Wu.

"We in Jubei City never take the initiative to cause trouble, and we have always kept our distance from the government. Since they have taken the initiative to fight, let's teach them a lesson."

Tuoba Wu snorted coldly and slapped the armrest of the chair. He looked at the four old men below and said solemnly: "Fourth Brother, take the cavalry in the city and go up the mountain immediately. Be ready to attack at any time!"

Zhou Wei chuckled and said, "Okay! It happens that my sword hasn't been soaked in blood for a while, so today I'll feed the sword with the blood of the officers and soldiers!" After saying that, Zhou Wei clasped his fists to everyone and left the hall.

"Brother, what about us?" A tall and thin man stepped forward and said loudly. He was Wu Wei, who was ranked fifth in Jubei City and was a capable subordinate cultivated by Tuoba Wu.

"Let's not rush. Let's go up to the top of the city and see who the general is who is coming to fight."

"Second brother, third brother, you two take a large group of people and prepare to go to battle. If the enemy is spineless, immediately leave the city and kill them completely!"

"If they are famous generals from the imperial court, then we should deploy our defenses carefully and kill these lackeys from the imperial court!"

The two men beside Tuoba Wu clasped their fists and responded at the same time: "Yes, big brother!"

the other side.

Ying Xuanze led the Huben Army to Beiqiong Ridge where Jubei City was located. Five miles ahead, the outline of Jubei City could be seen.

But these five miles are also the most difficult five miles. From here to Jubei City, one needs to keep going up. To use the words of his previous life and modern times, that is altitude sickness.

This is also why the army sent by the imperial court felt exhausted, weak, dizzy and nauseous when they arrived outside Jubei City. They just couldn't get used to the altitude sickness.

The army under Wang Yuan's command has lived in Xiliang all year round, and the terrain in Xiliang is higher than that in the Central Plains. Therefore, the terrain of Beiqiongling has not much impact on the people here.

At this time, a soldier rode over, whipping his horse. He was a soldier sent out to investigate. After seeing Ying Xuanze, he got off his horse, clasped his fists and said:

"My lord! A large army is coming from the east. Judging from their flags, they are Wang Yuan's subordinates!"

Ying Xuanze nodded slightly: "Okay, give the order, let the army be ready to fight and welcome Wang Yuan's army with the best appearance!"

"Yes!"

After an incense stick of time, Wang Yuan led his army slowly to the scene. Unlike the Huben Army, his formation seemed chaotic and did not behave like a regular army at all.

Ying Xuanze glanced at this group of lazy soldiers, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly involuntarily.

If this is the true appearance of Wang Yuan's army, then don't blame him for showing off his power.
