Outside the city, wolf smoke was burning on the mountains in the distance. It was getting farther and farther. More than a dozen wolf smoke were passing each other in the field of vision, which seemed to indicate that the Xia tribe's all-out war against the rebellion of the Western Region Protectorate had begun. In the distance, the valley
There was an endless stream of troops coming from Bailu City and Julu City, and even troops from Tianfeng City and Annan Protectorate. This was an expedition, just like us players.
"grown ups!"
Qin Zhao and Li Shang came on horseback and said respectfully: "The Dragon Realm Cavalry is ready and can enter the battle at any time!"
"Okay, wait a minute."
"yes!"
Players from Beichen continued to come online. Shanyou Fusu came over with a flickering Void Spirit Dagger and said: "Brother Xi, a temporary camp in Julu City has just been opened at the foot of the mountain ahead. You can repair equipment, supply medicines and
food."
"OK, order everyone to go over and resupply together. When the status is full, we can attack the next county. Don't be in a hurry."
"good!"
…
In the supply camp, a group of NPCs formed a simple camp system. There were blacksmiths, material dealers, grocers, and more than a dozen soldiers guarding the camp. I took everyone from Beichen directly into the camp and spent thousands.
I spent a gold coin to repair the almost tattered equipment, and then bought a batch of supplies. I also bought a lot of bread. I had to fill up my hunger and satiety points first.
"Kacha kacha~~"
On the side, Su Xiran held a piece of black bread and said with a smile: "Team D, do you also eat bread?"
"yes……"
I was speechless: "The only food sold by this grocer is bread. What else can we eat without this? Think about the conditions in Bailu City. Not to mention bread, there are noodles and roast chicken."
"Just don't pick."
Shanyou Fusu said angrily: "One bite is already pretty good."
Lin Che said: "Hurry up, the supplies are complete and ready to go. The NPC army in Julu City is ready to attack!"
"Buzz!"
A ray of purple light passed over the upper right corner of the interface, and I opened the big map. Sure enough, the target of the Xia clan's next conquest appeared. A total of three counties and cities were targeted. I groaned and asked: "Fusu, Xiao Che, what are we doing?"
Where should you set your next goal?”
Shanyou Fusu said: "Luo Qingyi also came this morning, joining forces with Su La. The target seems to be Loulan City in the west. This Loulan City seems to be one of the largest cities in the Western Region Protectorate.
It is said that Yinhu’s people have also passed by, how about... let’s seek wealth and wealth in danger, and also go to Loulan City to compete with Yinhu’s people for first place?”
"OK."
I smiled slightly: "Let's go, Loulan County City, let's go!"
"Set off!"
Everyone left together, and soon after, a thousand people from Beichen, plus more than 4,000 Longyu cavalry, formed a mighty force, marching westward along the Gobi Desert. In front of them was an endless desert.
I walked like this for nearly half an hour, and there were not even a few monsters along the way, which made me feel a little nervous.
Su Xiran looked into the distance with her beautiful eyes, and suddenly sighed quietly.
"What's wrong, Xiran?" I asked with concern.
"fine."
Su Xiran pursed her red lips and said with a smile: "I just think... Captain D, look, how much perseverance does it take to dare to challenge this endless desert? We are only in the game now, if we are facing this in reality
It’s a vast desert, and I’m afraid it will take a lot of courage to truly set foot in this spiritual realm.”
I glanced at her: "I know, you want to travel to the west, right?"
She chuckled and said, "Those who know me, will do so today."
"There's no rush. After the studio and the guild are stabilized, we'll have time to enjoy ourselves. At least we can make money first before having fun, right?"
"Yes, but how can something like money be called too much?"
I thought for a while: "First pay off two houses, and then save more than 50 million. This will be considered wealthy. At least you will no longer have to worry about your future. What do you think?"
"Fifty million?" She smiled faintly: "We have to work harder!"
"yes!"
…
Not long after, oases appeared in front of them, and villages were scattered around the rivers in the oasis area. In the desert area, life thrives where there is water. Therefore, in the Western Region Protectorate, almost all cities and villages are
It was built next to a water source. In ancient times, many famous cities disappeared in history. In fact, it had something to do with the cutoff of water sources.
"Be careful, there are rebels in the village!" Shanyou Fusu warned.
Xiao Wei and Xiao Nuan immediately pulled out their swords and rode ahead, like two beautiful scouts.
Flames ignited in the village ahead. The rebels were burning houses and driving innocent people out of their homes. At this moment, in the NPC army not far away, Sula's pretty face was covered with a layer of
Hanshuang said: "The first battalion will attack. Defeat those rebels who are massacring innocents. Kill them all and take no prisoners!"
"Yes, leader!"
On the side, Luo Qingyi's beautiful eyes were like water, and she said: "Sura, you have become more and more murderous these days."
Sura frowned slightly: "Princess, don't you still know what these rebels are? They are a group of desperadoes. For gold and women, there is nothing they can't do. Besides, why do they rebel?
The Xia Empire just wanted to tear apart the soil and seal the king. Almost every captured county and city was massacred. The blood debt must be paid with blood. The empire must not be soft on these rebellious people."
"You may be right."
Luo Qingyi said softly: "Then kill, blood for blood!"
Not only the NPC army, but a group of Beichen's cavalry warriors also swept through under my leadership, directly tearing thousands of rebels into pieces. When the dragon domain cavalry expired, only the corpses of the rebels were left around.
Well, although the rebellion in the Western Region Protectorate is huge this time, the truly powerful rebels are actually stationed in the county. Instead, the rebels are wandering outside and attacking. Their combat effectiveness is quite low, let alone the Xia clan.
It's an army, and even the player army can't defeat it.
Further forward, after the rebels in more than a dozen villages were eliminated, the villages and towns ahead became more and more prosperous. The river on one side was surging. Further on, an unprecedentedly majestic city appeared in front.
Loulan City is an ancient city filled with divine light. The outer city is very strong. You can faintly see the brilliance of the inscriptions on the huge rocks that build the city. The auspicious light is lingering in the sky. The city walls are filled with soldiers holding gold swords and wearing armor.
, the golden forest is like a forest, showing endless majesty, like a sacred city standing in the desert.
"Gudong~~~"
Looking at Loulan City, Huangxi swallowed and said, "Is this the legendary Loulan City that will never be returned until Loulan is destroyed?"
"Probably not."
I shook my head: "That seems to be the ancient city of Loulan. The city in "Tianxing" uses the name of the ancient city, but it doesn't really correspond. It's just a fiction."
Lin Che was delighted and said: "Actually, if we compare the background system of "Tianxing" with Chinese history, I think the most similar one is the Qin and Han Dynasties."
"Um."
I smiled and said: "The Han Dynasty, the truly powerful Han Dynasty, is indeed a pearl in Chinese history."
Xiao Wei blinked: "Brother Mu Chen, I don't quite understand why the Han Dynasty is said to be a pearl in history. Is there any basis for it?"
"Yes, I have."
I smiled slightly: "Because the Han Dynasty had the Protectorate of the Western Regions, Zhang Qian was sent as an envoy to the countries in the Western Regions to open the Silk Road, and famous generals like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing swept across Mobei. This is not glorious enough. Let's talk about the end of the Han Dynasty.
, among the dynasties in Chinese history, only the Han Dynasty was ended in its strong period, and the other dynasties were also in decline. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the princes in various towns in the Han Dynasty were so strong, such as Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo, and Gongsun Zan.
Each of them had strong soldiers, and only in that era could the Central Plains dynasty have the qualifications to defeat the surrounding countries. If it were not for the eunuchs and the Yellow Turban Uprising, I am afraid that the Han Dynasty could have survived for another hundred years."
As I said that, I waved my hand: "After the history class, get out of class is over, and we are going to attack Loulan City."
Everyone laughed: "Get ready for war!"
…
Outside Loulan City, there was no one around. There were many soldiers on the city, their swords at war with each other.
It seems that the rebel commander of Loulan City is still somewhat wise. He knows that the Xia army is approaching fiercely and that if they go out to fight, the result will be the same as that of Wuque County, so they plan to hold on to the city.
"Sir, when will we go out to fight?" Qin Zhao asked.
"Not urgent."
I shook my head: "Loulan City is so strong that it is not conducive for the Dragon Territory Cavalry to attack. You can only attack after the city is broken."
"Yes, I obey!"
Not far away, people from Yinhu, Chibai Divine Realm, Bameng, and Lingyu Realm all appeared. It seems that there will be many people vying for the sole MVP qualification in Loulan City. Lin Tu, LEE, Jin Zhaozui, Moon God, and Beifeng
God and others will be powerful competitors, and in the upper left corner of the interface, you can already see the comparison of the number of people attacking the city and defending the city.
Attacking side: Xia Legion has about 21,000 people, players have about 2,000 people
Defender: About 800,000 Ugo people
…
"I go……"
Lin Che frowned: "This is really a war with unbalanced forces. 230,000 people attack the city and 800,000 people defend the city. This is simply a fantasy!"
"There are many rebels, and there are many achievements." I said optimistically.
Su Xiran said: "This siege battle will definitely be much more difficult than the one in Wuque County. We must be mentally prepared. Team D, will Beichen take the lead this time?"
"rush!"
I lowered my sword and said, "You don't need to lose one level if you die. You can just resurrect on the spot, but the merit points and experience points gained from the defeat are real. It's worth exchanging levels for merit points!"
"right!"
Shanyou Fusu said: "The potential bonus to combat effectiveness provided by the main attributes is too high. At this stage, military rank is more important than anything else!"
…
"Dong dong dong——"
In the distance, war drums were beating. Troops from Julu City, Bailu City, and Annan Protectorate were about to attack the city. A large number of infantrymen holding swords and shields, accompanied by various siege equipment, walked toward the city step by step. They were about 300 meters away from the city.
Stopped outside the yard, prepared on the spot, and behind, with the sound of the wheels and axles turning, heavy catapults and artillery were pushed out. The next moment, torches and artillery fire intertwined, and the Loulan City was submerged in the flames of war in the blink of an eye.
