Chapter 93 Disadvantages of Population Growth
On the road made of rammed loess, an army of five thousand people was marching, with two large flags erected between the troops.
The book on the big banner reads: Yan.
The writing on the flag reads: Li.
"Yan" is the name of the civilization to which Wang Ting belongs, and Wang Ting was crowned king a long time ago.
"Li" is the surname of the commander of this army.
Xia Qi led the army to attack fiercely, but in the battle of Qingyan City, the Yan army suffered heavy losses. Although men were recruited from various cities and sent to Dongyuan City, the royal court was still worried, so they forced the army again at home.
Six thousand new soldiers. Li Hu was appointed as commander-in-chief and headed for Dongyuan City.
These six thousand people were walking on the road, but they looked listless. Obviously, these people were not very interested in joining the army.
But yes, these people were happily farming and hunting at home, but were inexplicably forced to be sent to the border to die. Who would be willing to do this?
"Go quickly, go quickly!"
"Stop dawdling, hurry up!"
In addition to the 6,000 new soldiers, there are also 500 veterans who are responsible for guarding and escorting the troops. These people are all from the royal city.
Li Hu is one of the most powerful generals under Wang Ting. In terms of bravery alone, he is still above Wang Tian, reaching the level of five stars. He is riding on a horse, holding a mace in one hand, his face
He looked impatient and just wanted to end this errand as soon as possible and return to the royal city.
At this moment, a wave of arrows came from the grass beside the road like locusts, and these untrained minds were shot down countless times in a panic.
"Enemy attack——!!!"
"Formation! Formation!"
The veterans resisted immediately, so the casualties were not very large. After the rain of arrows passed, they quickly shouted loudly and called for the new soldiers to form formation.
Only then did the recruits react and hurriedly picked up the shields in their hands to defend themselves.
Tread...tread...
But one wave after another broke out, and the sound of galloping horse hooves suddenly sounded from behind them.
Are they the cavalry sent by the king? Li Hu thought to himself.
wrong!
The Yan State's cavalry troops had already been completely lost in the battle with the prairie barbarians not long ago. It would be impossible to reorganize a cavalry force in a short time!
At this thought, Li Hu immediately tightened his grip on the mace in his hand.
It was at this time that the cavalry from the rear rushed into the team and cut off the entire team.
Seeing this, Xia Qi waved his hand, and the axe, shield, and spearmen stepped forward one after another, surrounding the team.
Although there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, with Wang Ting's side having nearly three times the strength of Xia Qi's, it seems as if they have been transferred one by one.
The new soldiers were like lost dogs, shouting loudly and running around, while Xia Qi's soldiers pressed forward step by step.
Li Hu looked at the enemy troops in front of him and shouted loudly: "Who are you? If you dare to attack my army, Dayan, you will die if you don't want to!"
"Is it possible that Wang Ting's subordinates are all fools who have reached this point and can't even see the situation clearly?" Xia Qi stood at the front of the team, with Li Chuan and Xiong standing on both sides.
Li Hu's mind was in a mess, and the new recruits behind him were obviously unreliable. However, he was confident that with his own strength, he would be able to break through.

Very easy.
As soon as he thought of this, a fierce light flashed in Li Hu's eyes, and he suddenly waved the mace in his hand and attacked Xia Qi who was standing there!
His idea is very simple: to capture the thief first, capture the king.
Although Li Hu didn't know Xia Qi, he could tell that the other party must be the one with the highest status among the enemy. As long as he captured him first and used it as a threat, he would definitely be able to break through the encirclement.
Seeing Li Hu who suddenly launched an offensive, Li Chuan, who was following Xia Qi, instantly changed his expression. He subconsciously raised the shield in his hand and rushed forward. Looking at his posture, it seemed that he wanted to block Xia Qi's attack.
A fatal blow.
However, Li Chuan obviously overestimated himself and underestimated Li Hu. Although the weapon in his hand was a mace that looked extremely heavy, Li Hu's strength was obviously good, and the blow was fast and hard.
, according to Li Chuan's reaction speed, it is simply impossible to catch up.
Seeing that the mace was about to hit Xia Qi's body, Li Chuan's mind went blank and he had no idea at all for a moment.
At this moment, Xia Qi was standing there neither dodging nor dodging. He looked completely calm and composed, turning a blind eye to the mace that kept approaching. At that moment, Li Chuan simply suspected that he was
It's not that I was scared out of my wits.
However, at that next moment, he only heard a loud bang! Before he could react, he saw Li Hu's mace colliding with a bronze shield.
!
In the midst of the lightning and flint, Li Hu's expression changed. The opponent was not resisting his attack at all, but used the bronze shield as a weapon and slapped his mace hard!
The power that burst out in one breath was simply terrifying. Li Hu's hands holding the mace instantly lost consciousness. Along with the sound of broken bones, his wrist part produced a strange twist, and the mace in his hand
The stick was smashed and flew out on the spot!
It turned out that when Xiong saw Xia Qi being attacked, he directly activated the skill "The more he fights, the braver he becomes". His bravery value temporarily reached six stars, crushing the opponent in terms of strength.
"Impossible! This is impossible!!" Li Hu suddenly roared.
The blow I tried my best was actually hit back by the opponent with a bronze shield mercilessly. The gap in strength was simply disappointing. How could a human being be so strong?
"Bear, kill him."
"Subordinates take orders!"
Xia Qi's voice was still so unhurried, as if everything was taken for granted. Then, after hearing the order, Xiong took another step forward. In an instant, the pressure that almost hit his face made Li Hu feel
This guy with a strange mask is like an ancient ferocious beast wearing human skin! It keeps squeezing his living space!
It was too late, but it was so fast. From the moment he knocked his mace away, it only took a blink of an eye, and the exaggerated bronze sword slashed down with thunderous force!
There was absolutely no room for resistance. With just one blow, the world in front of Li Hu was split into two. The splash of blood and internal organs turned the bear into a bloody man on the spot.
At this moment, not to mention the new Li Chuan, even the surrounding shield and ax soldiers, after seeing Li Hu who was directly split into two halves by an axe, all of them were silent for a while and looked at them.
The general's eyes were full of awe!
After directly beheading Li Hu with a terrifying sword, Xiong glanced at Li Chuan who was still holding his shield. The doubt in his heart was obviously relieved by seven or eight points. Was Li Chuan sincere at that time?
He wanted to help Xia Qi block the attack, but he still pretended to be a general.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Xiong could see it clearly. Although he didn't say anything, he now implicitly recognized Li Chuan's existence.
However, the look of the bear covered in blood at this time was really scary. In addition, Li Hu had just been split into two halves with an axe. Although the look in his eyes did not have murderous intent, it still frightened Li Chuan's heart.
, quickly retracted his action, and then hugged the bear with an embarrassed look.
Then he thought to himself: It seems that I just humiliated myself.
After all, the facts are in front of him, and Xia Qi obviously knows that he is safe, so he is so calm from beginning to end, so calm that even the expression on his face barely changes.
As if he knew what Li Chuan was thinking at this time, Xia Qi took two steps forward and patted his shoulder casually, "Congratulations, you saved your life and theirs."
The people Xia Qi refers to refer to the group of soldiers selected by Li Chuan. They are people who Li Chuan knows and have never done anything unscrupulous, such as rape, adultery, robbery, etc. As for those who are not selected, then naturally
They are a bunch of beasts and it is not a pity to die.
"From today on, you are mine." With these words, Xia Qi officially accepted the surrender of Li Chuan and others, and the system prompt sounded.
The reason why they did not accept it before was because whether it was killing one of their own people or rebelling against one's own soldiers, it would damage the morale of the army. In order to avoid this, before this, Li Chuan and others were just "prisoners".
Looking at Li Chuan who was inexplicably excited, Xia Qi smiled slightly, and then used the Eye of Insight to check Li Chuan's attribute panel.
Although Li Chuan was a prisoner before, he was still a member of the royal court in name, so Xia Qi could not check his attribute panel.
When Xia Qi saw Li Chuan's various attributes, he was shocked and took a breath of cold air.

After seeing Li Chuan's panel, Xia Qi felt a wave of panic in his heart. Damn it! Did he find a treasure? Although this Li Chuan is still only a good panel among all Samsungs, but after growing to the extreme, it will be perfect.
What a divine general!
It is completely unimaginable that such a top-level talent would actually work as a soldier in a border city. Is that Wang Ting blind?
But it’s right to think about it, after all, not every player has the skill “Eye of Insight”.
However, this also reminded Xia Qi that with the rapid increase in the population of civilization, he could not check the disadvantages of the attribute panels of his subjects one by one. When he thought that there might be talents like this in his own civilization that he had missed, Xia Qi
I just had a headache for a while, and decided to find a way to avoid something like this happening after I go back.
