Wei Qiliang briefly described the battle situation.
At the beginning, the Cangwu army relied on its advantage in weapons to suppress the army of the King of Southern Xinjiang, with the aim of forcing the Southern Xinjiang Saint Lady and her entourage to negotiate a ceasefire as soon as possible.
But ever since the news of the Saint Maiden of Southern Xinjiang committing suicide in prison came out, the soldiers from the Ailao and Baiyue villages, which had always remained neutral, also joined in. They all shouted for revenge for the Saint Maiden, and their morale was unprecedentedly high.
These people were good at guerrilla warfare and familiar with the local terrain. The Dingguo Army had to allocate some of its troops to deal with the self-defense forces in these villages and to fight against the large army of the King of Southern Xinjiang.
This resulted in the battle line being too long and the combat area being too wide, and the Dingguo Army was harassed to the point of being extremely annoyed. It's really hard to follow, and I'm extremely worried.
From Wei Qiliang, Song Jinxiu caught a piece of information, that is, the village.
She asked, "Didn't the villages here participate in the war? Aren't they under the rule of the King of Southern Xinjiang?"
Wei Qiliang said: "The situation in the southern border is similar to that in the northern border, with multiple forces. There are many rivers and rivers here, and transportation is inconvenient. Although the various villages are connected, they exist independently.
They did not truly submit to the King of Southern Xinjiang, and their vassal relationship with the King of Southern Xinjiang had to be maintained by the Saint Girl of Southern Xinjiang. ”
At this point, he glanced at Song Jinxiu and said, "Don't blame yourself, Your Highness. The Saint of Southern Xinjiang is not of our race. Even if you don't get rid of her, our Dingguo Army will not tolerate her."
Song Jinxiu smiled, "Why should I blame myself? Killing the Saint of Southern Xinjiang was the most correct thing I did. General Wei, just tell me what you want to say, don't be shy about it."
Wei Qiliang looked at his little savior again, and only heaved a sigh of relief when he was sure that she really had no regrets.
He was really afraid that the little girl would burst into tears after learning that the death of the Saint of Southern Xinjiang had complicated the war.
Seeing that the little girl remained calm, Wei Qiliang praised her, "You are worthy of being the eldest princess. You are a real man who dares to act and take responsibility."
Song Jinxiu smiled modestly and asked, "General, do you know how this Saint Girl from Southern Xinjiang maintains her status in the various villages?"
The biggest advantage of the Saintess of Southern Xinjiang is raising Gu. Could it be that all these people have been poisoned by Gu?
If they were controlled by poisonous insects, wouldn't these people be freed after the Saint of Southern Xinjiang died? Why should they avenge their saint?
Wei Qiliang said: "It should be a kind of belief. If Your Highness wants to know more about the Saint of Southern Border, I can find a few locals for Your Highness. They know more details."
Song Jinxiu nodded, "Okay."
Just then, a soldier came to report: "The rattan armor is ready."
Wei Qiliang explained: "The south is hot and humid, and the soldiers are wearing armor that is strong but not breathable. The soldiers get prickly heat from scratching their bodies, and if they scratch and the skin becomes ulcerated, it will definitely cause problems.
Therefore, I asked people to prepare rattan armor, which is a must-have for our southern army. Rattan armor is a kind of armor made of specially processed rattan. Although not as strong as iron armor, it is light, water-resistant and breathable, which is just right here. ”
Song Jinxiu was not surprised by the rattan armor, but Su Mo looked at it again and again with curiosity. He had only heard of it before but had never actually seen it. He personally tested the sturdiness of the rattan armor before ordering the soldiers to change their armor.
The war was intense, and the Su army took a short rest before heading to the battlefield to join the battle.
As the military supervisor, Song Jinxiu was supposed to be in charge of the central military camp together with General Wei.
In view of the instability on the border, Su Mo proposed that the 5,000 cavalrymen from the Xixiao camp stay in the central military camp and follow Song Jinxiu.
As soon as he arrived at the central army camp, he found that there were not many soldiers left there.
Perhaps General Wei is a man of great skill and courage, and he has his own considerations. But he would not let go until Song Jinxiu's safety was properly arranged.
Along the way he could see that these 5,000 cavalrymen followed the little girl's lead. With their protection, even if the self-defense forces in the village attacked the camp, there was no need to worry about the little girl's safety.
Wei Qiliang frowned. Now the battle line was too long and the soldiers were insufficient. His central army camp was stationed in the rear, so he only left 500 guards and 300 scouts.
He glanced at Song Jinxiu, opened his mouth, and nodded in agreement.
Although Song Jinxiu was a military supervisor, she was still the eldest princess appointed by His Majesty, so her safety was naturally more important.
It is right to leave more soldiers and horses for protection, but not all 5,000 cavalrymen can be kept. He didn't say it now, but wanted to wait until he got familiar with the little girl, and then appeal to her emotions, explain things to her rationally, and slowly discuss things with her.
Song Jinxiu said nothing. She didn't know anything about using troops and fighting wars. She had just arrived in southern Xinjiang and didn't understand many things. She needed to understand the overall situation before making a decision.
It would be better to keep more people around, so that she can understand the situation clearly and then make a decision based on the circumstances.
So she also needs her own army.
As soon as dawn broke, Su Mo led the Su family army away. He wanted to support the Eastern Army in fighting against the King of Southern Xinjiang.
The 5,000 cavalrymen in the Xiyue camp who were left behind were dumbfounded.
These days, they have become familiar with the Su family army, and even discussed following the Su family army to the northern border after the war in the southern border is over.
Now the Su family army has left without taking them with them. Why?
At this time, General Wei's deputy general Zhang Feng came over and said in a sarcastic tone: "The princess is of noble status. Our general only needs 500 guards to protect her, and the princess needs 5,000 cavalry to protect her. You stay here to protect the princess."
Zhang Feng is the deputy general of General Wei, so he naturally knows the intensity of the current war.
This so-called Changgong military supervisor wanted 5,000 cavalrymen to protect him alone. This was really unreasonable.
Also, there is already a military supervisor here. Your Majesty sent an immature prince to be the military supervisor. Does this mean you don't trust the general, or are you here to cause trouble?
The general worked hard to defend his country, and he also went to great lengths to protect a woman. Since the princess was worth a lot of money, why did she come to the war-torn southern border?
He was angry, and it came out naturally when he spoke.
Everyone looked at each other.
What does it mean that if the general has 500 soldiers, they have to have 5,000? Is this because he has some problem with their eldest prince?
Along the way, the 5,000 cavalrymen of the Xixiao camp admired and respected Song Jinxiu. How could they tolerate someone playing tricks on their eldest prince like this?
Then someone said coldly: "Since the Duke needs our 5,000 cavalry to protect him, it means that the central army tent is not safe.
Even the central army tent is not safe, are the Dingguo Army just sitting there to eat and do nothing?
As soon as these words came out, the Dingguo Army was dissatisfied.
In the war in southern Xinjiang, how many people died in the bloody battle of the Dingguo Army? Which one of those who stayed here didn't crawl out of a sea of corpses and blood?
Saying anything else about them doesn’t matter, but saying they are trash is intolerable!
Suddenly the two groups started arguing.
Song Jinxiu did not rest.
General Wei was in charge of the overall situation and was busy with military affairs. He only briefly introduced the current situation and then went to arrange other affairs in the camp. Liu Hai, the deputy general left, gave Song Jinxiu a more detailed introduction.
Liu Hai is a local, and he is pointing to the map in the central military tent to introduce the situation of the village to Song Jinxiu.
At this time, someone came to report that the two groups of people were fighting.
Song Jinxiu's expression suddenly became stern, and she strode out of the central military tent.
