In fact, in addition to the Khan's personal guards, Aserai's Mamluk heavy cavalry is also a good choice.
He not only has shooting skills that are comparable to those of Khan's personal guards, but also has the strongest defensive shield in the world of horseback slashing. The only pity is that his melee weapon is only a one-handed sword, which cannot be used in close combat. Cheap.
The Khan's personal guards were also brought out by Zhang Qi after careful selection. Although the Khan's personal guards only had twenty-four arrows, which was very average in terms of ammunition, they had the Yanyue Sword, and Guan Yu was small per capita. You can definitely chop melons and vegetables when you go out.
He has been riding in the world for more than ten or twenty years, and there is no shortage of top-level troops in the garrison camp. In addition, Silonia is not far from Kuset and there is a pontoon bridge, so Zhang Qi easily named a hundred of the Khan's personal guards. .
Even with their armor and horses, the cost of bringing out a hundred of the Khan's personal guards is not small. Fortunately, his current income is not bad. When there are only more than 8 million dinars left, Zhang Qi will One hundred of the Khan's personal guards were brought out.
After bringing out the Khan's personal guards, Zhang Qi immediately sent a message to Xianbei, ordering Ying to lead the remaining more than a thousand Eagle Strike Forces back to Wuhuan. Xianbei's defensive force was composed of the militiamen trained by Wuhuan during this period. Half of them were divided, almost three thousand in number, and Wang Li also went to Xianbei with these militiamen to act as the commander.
Although these militiamen trained in the form of battle groups are not as good as the professional soldiers trained by Ying and others, they are better in numbers and can also play a certain role.
So a few days later, more than a thousand Eagle Attack Army arrived in Wuhuan, and Zhang Qi mixed 300 tiger soldiers and 150 NPC soldiers into one and led them personally.
——
the other side.
Liaodong.
After receiving the letter from Zhang Qi, Lu Mu went directly to the prefect's mansion and handed the silk letter handwritten by Zhang Qi to Zhang Yi.
After Zhang Yi saw it, he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat at this moment, even if he had developed a very high level of intelligence.
Defending the border is one thing, but attacking is another.
The Huns invaded the border areas with the Li people, and if they attacked, they might attack the county seat.
Of course, the Han army is not a display, and there is no benefit to be gained from attacking the city and fighting the Huns, but what if?
If you happen to be unlucky, then no matter what your status is, you may end up like dirt.
A gentleman does not stand in danger. Zhang Yi immediately asked Lu Mu: "Will Qi come to support?"
"I don't know the master's intention. I still don't know how many troops King Zuo Guli has recruited. If there are too many, the master will probably retreat in the face of difficulties. Don't blame the master for this. Human nature."
"It's human nature, human nature." Zhang Yi nodded. Although there were five million to ten thousand soldiers in the past, if Zuo Tuqi recruited tens of thousands or even one hundred thousand prairie people to attack, even if Zhang Qi could reach the sky, I can only, but cannot help much.
"Qineng has done his best to send back such important information at this time. I can't be too demanding. I just hope that Qineng will send my relatives to the grassland for the sake of my in-laws. Nowadays, the border counties are not peaceful. I We dare not let them go to Chang'an."
Zhang Yi thought hard for a while and stood up and said to Lu Mu. At this moment when the war was about to come, Zhang Yi's identity seemed to no longer have the same aloof feeling as before, like an ordinary person who had fallen into the mortal world.
Lu Mu handed over his hand and said, "You don't need to know the master about this matter, I can make the decision."
"That's good."
"After I write a letter asking for help and send it to Chang'an, I'll ask Counselor Lu to take away my relatives. I'll let them take care of it now."
Lu Mu nodded.
Zhang Yi flicked his robe sleeves and turned back to the inner courtyard.
At two or three o'clock, the sun descends from high in the sky to the west.
At this moment, Zhang Yicai came out of the inner courtyard, followed by more than thirty people, all of whom were his direct relatives.
Lu Mu stepped forward and held up his hands: "Prefect, are these all going to go to the grassland with someone?"
Zhang Yi shook his head: "Yuanheng, Chan'er and their mother, aunt and nephew will follow you to the grassland, while Bo'er's house is going to Chang'an."
Lu Mu glanced at Zhang Yi in surprise, nodded and said: "The prefect has made good arrangements."
"Oh, just prepare for the worst. Things are already packed. I'll leave the rest to Counselor Lu."
"With a little effort, if there is any other information, I will pass it on to the prefect."
"Counsellor is very considerate, Yi would like to thank you in advance!"
As a prefect of a county, anyone could run away when the Xiongnu attacked him, but he couldn't. If he ran away, his family would not be spared if the Han Dynasty decided to do so.
Therefore, at this moment, Zhang Yi was already prepared to die together. He defended Xiangping and relied on the city walls and powerful crossbows to block the Xiongnu army.
After all, the Xiongnu were invincible in the field, while the Han army was unparalleled in defending the city!
In the front yard of the prefect's mansion, Zhang Yi was still giving instructions to his sons and daughters.
"When Bo'er goes to Chang'an this time, he can meet His Majesty with his father's token and half of the tiger talisman. After handing over his father's letter to His Majesty, His Majesty's questions will be answered truthfully."
"And Yuanheng, you and Qi are brothers-in-law. This time you went to the grassland for refuge. You can no longer be as blunt as before. You must remember that you are engaged to Qi Mei!"
Zhang Yi stared at Zhang Guang, and Zhang Guang nodded with difficulty: "I will obey my father's orders!"
Zhang Yi's face looked better and he continued: "Take good care of Chan'er and wait until the situation in Liaodong stabilizes before returning. If your father is still there, you will continue to stay in Liaodong. If your father is gone, then you will go to Chang'an to look for your brother." ."
"Yuanheng knows."
The farewell of the whole family was very sad, and Zhang Yi's daughter Zhang Chan was even more sad.
Lu Mu did not rush because he knew that time was tight. The reason why Zhang Yi arranged for relatives to evacuate now was simply to prepare for the worst. In order to keep at least one of the Zhang family alive, he even placed the eggs in two places. .
Zhang Bo, who had military experience, went to Chang'an, while Zhang Guang, a Confucian scholar, was sent to Zhang Qi's residence.
After all, he was the head of a county. Zhang Yi quickly cleared away the sadness of separation and regained his composure as the governor of the border county.
Lu Mu took the people away, and there were about fifteen or six people who followed him, mostly women and children.
After leaving Xiangping, the group quietly left Liaodong. Outside the Great Wall, there were people to support them.
——
grassland.
Around Bear Lake.
Zuo Guli King's Department.
In the king's tent.
The king of Zuoguli, Yizhixie (pronounced, a quail), is waiting for a reply.
The target of his message was naturally the Zuo Tuqi tribe closest to his pasture.
In this grassland catastrophe, he and Yu Shan suffered the most losses. Therefore, although the attack on Han was explicitly to find out why the more than 10,000 Huns destroyed Liaodong, secretly he Still coveting the wealth of Han Dynasty.
But he was not stupid, he naturally knew that the Han Dynasty city was difficult to attack, so he naturally wanted to recruit some powerful Wanqi, and Zuo Tuqi Yushan, who suffered the same heavy losses as him, naturally became the best choice.
"Report!"
"speak!"
"Zuo Tuqi has agreed to attack the Han Dynasty and is gathering the tribes!"
"Hahaha, okay!"
"Let the warriors recharge their batteries and have enough food, and tell them that when Zuo Tuqi comes with his troops, we will"
"Attack Liaodong!"
"yes!"
