A large force of Xiliang cavalry rushed into this infantry square formation. It is not that the infantry cannot fight against the cavalry, but the problem is that you must be prepared and have troops that can stand at the front.
The infantry led by Zhang Song did not expect that they would be attacked by cavalry. They were not prepared at all. The military formation had just been organized when the cavalry was about to rush into their faces.
The horse's hoof steps on the flesh and blood of the Qing Army soldiers. Compared with the not very sharp horse hoof, it is more important to have strong force and strong charging power.
After the soldiers of the Qing Army were easily trampled to death by the Xiliang cavalry, the soldiers at the back did not have any courage. Their officers all ran to the back. The Xiliang cavalry waved their weapons wantonly among the Qing army as if there was no one in the land.
The iron hooves of a war horse can kill more enemies than the soldiers on the horse.
The soldiers at the back looked at the collapse and turned around to run back. The people in front died miserably.
Li Xiang saw that the Qing Army had no power to fight back, and the cavalry behind them trampled the Qing Army soldiers who died in the battle into a piece of flesh.
He couldn't bear it in his heart. These were all good coolies. If they could be captured, it would reduce a lot of pressure on Xiliang. The development of these loess lands is indispensable for these prisoners of war.
I wish these people could run faster. The Xiliang cavalry charged, but they didn't stop just because they wanted to.
Li Xiang rode his horse to rush towards the Yuankuang area. The Xiliang cavalry was divided into two parts. One part followed Li Xiang and killed Yuankuang fortress. The two troops in the fortress stopped fighting at this time, and the two looked at the battle outside.
Under the charge of the Xiliang cavalry, the Qing Army's reinforcements were dispersed by the Xiliang cavalry in just twenty minutes.
Is this the cavalry?
Some people saw cavalry for the first time, and saw such a domineering army for the first time.
Many of them have gone through countless battles, but they have never been on the battlefield and do not know the power of cavalry. They only know that when encountering cavalry on the battlefield, the best way is to surround a group and use a spear formation to deal with it.
Seeing the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the Qing Army's spear formation seemed not enough in front of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!
Seeing Li Xiang riding over, the soldiers of the Qing Army were extremely nervous, and the coalition forces of Ji Mo and Lou Fan were also very nervous. They regarded Xiliang City as their allies, but no one knew whether Xiliang City regarded them as allies!
Moreover, these people had spent some time outside Beixuan City under Xiliang. No one could have imagined that Xiliang City had risen so quickly.
General Manager Ji Mo and General Manager Lou Fan stood at the gate of the fortress. Li Xiang rushed towards him with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. They could feel an unstoppable momentum coming towards them. This was the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!
Yu!
Prime Minister Li stopped about thirty meters in front of the city gate. There were a large number of people standing on the wall of the fortress. Bright red blood flowed down the wall, and a simple ladder was set up on the wall.
A large amount of debris was piled on the ground under the city wall. Among these debris were soldiers from the coalition forces and the Green Army!
"Aza, the chief manager of Loufan, has met City Lord Li!"
As the lord of Xiliang City, Li Xiang, Aza recognized Li Xiang from the portrait of Li Xiang. He had seen Li Xiang in distant places and in paintings at most.
General Manager Ji Mo said: "General Manager Ji Mo, Luo Mu has met City Lord Li!"
The two of them kept their posture very low, because Li Xiang decided the fate of the two of them. Without Li Xiang, they would not be able to accomplish what they wanted in their hearts.
Li Xiang raised his head and glanced at the fortress wall above where there was no sound of fighting: "End?"
General Manager Lou Fan took a step forward: "It's not over yet. There are probably more than a thousand people left in the fortress by the Qing Army!"
"Then why did you stop?"
The chief steward glanced at Li Xiang: "Because you came with your cavalry, my lord, we and the other party stopped!"
"I didn't expect that I, Prime Minister Li, could be so useful!" Prime Minister Li said to Lou Fan, the chief manager, Aza, said, "I want this Yuan Mine, do you have any opinions?"
After hearing what Li Xiang said, Aza bowed and said: "We are fighting for Xiliang City in this Yuan Mine. We only ask that you, sir, can give us, Lou Ann, a way out!"
Luo Mudao, the general manager of Ji Mo, said: "We Ji Mo disciples came outside the pass just to find the golden body of our ancestor. The location of the golden body is around Ji Mo City. It is now occupied by the Qing Army. As long as City Lord Li agrees, we can capture Ji Mo."
The Empress of the City asks us Ji Mo disciples to continue to search for the golden body. I, Ji Mo disciples, will become the sharpest sword in your hands!"
Luo Mu felt something was wrong as he said this: "City Lord Li, our Ji Mo is not as good as the Xiliang army in terms of military formation, but in terms of scouting, assassination, and gathering intelligence, we Ji Mo are no worse than other forces!"
"We'll talk about this later. First of all, who's to say how you plan to deal with the Qing Army soldiers in the fortress?" Li Xiang heard that these two people wanted to surrender to him. This Yuan Mine was probably their trump card. They wanted to take the Yuan Mine and then
When negotiating terms with him, he didn't expect the Qing Army's defense in the fortress and the speed with which reinforcements arrived.
If he hadn't arrived in time today, the last remaining strength of these two forces outside the pass would have been wiped out by the Qing Army.
The two chief managers glanced at each other and said at the same time: "Everything must be obeyed by City Lord Li!"
"Okay!" Li Xiang got off his horse: "Let them put down their weapons. I, Li Xiang, will keep them safe. If they want to resist stubbornly, then let them become fertilizer on this land!
Pass it on as I say!"
"Yes!" The two men immediately asked the people around them to pass on what Li Xiang said. The soldiers who were assigned to communicate turned around and breathed a sigh of relief. Li Xiang put a lot of pressure on them.
Li Xiang walked to the gate of the city with the square halberd in his hand. The city walls were all made of large stones. The source of the stones should be Yuan Mine. They have been washed away by Yuan Qi all year round. These stones are very hard and of the best quality.
Material
"Does Loufan City belong to Loufanren?" Li Xiang asked softly.
Aza thought for a moment and said: "It used to be, but more than 20 years ago, our Loufan City began to accept other tribesmen, and Loufan City suffered such a disaster because of this!"
At the beginning, Loufan City only accepted Lou Fanren, relying on the power of one clan to occupy the Yuan Mine in Loufan City. It was more than 20 years ago that it began to accept people from other clans. Since then, Loufan City has entered its heyday and can compete with Black Tiger.
City protests.
But because of this, Lou Fancheng fell into the hands of others.
"City Master Li, our Loufanren can only survive outside the Northwest Pass. The city of Loufan is gone. Please help us, City Master Li!"
Lou Fanren was not allowed to do business or become an official in Daqian. He could only be a farmer and was not even allowed to use bows and arrows.
This is because Lou Fan is physically strong. At that time, the Lou Fan country had only one million people, but these one million Lou Fans recruited a hundred thousand troops. Da Gan sent out a legion of troops (300,000) and fought bloody battles for a year.
This legion lost more than half of its troops but still failed to capture Loufan. In the end, Daqian implemented a blockade and hindered Loufan's farming, leaving Loufan in a state of having no food to eat, and then captured Loufan.
At that time, there were less than 600,000 people left in the Loufan Kingdom!
Lou Fanren, who was merged into Daqian, lived a much worse life than other races. Apart from some talents for fighting, Lou Fanren had no other talents, and the farming area was poor compared to other places.
After Lou Fanren joined Da Qian, the number of people did not increase, but continued to decrease. Before Loufan City was established outside the Northwest Pass, Lou Fanren's number was less than 300,000.
Many people couldn't stand their racial identity and ran to other places, no longer annoying.
After building Loufan City outside the Northwest Pass, they relied on Loufan City to support Loufanren. Over the course of hundreds of years, the number of Loufanren returned to two million, and this number is still increasing.
The population of their race has increased, but many problems have also arisen. Their land is only so big, and if they want so many people, the key is outside the Northwest Pass!
But is it so easy to get out of the Northwest Pass?
They are not like other tribes. They have large cadres in the place where they live, patrolling day and night. Generally, there is only one way to end the rebellion. There is no so-called expulsion outside the Northwest Pass.
They can only send people outside the Northwest Pass through transportation and local officials.
Over the years, there have never been more than 10,000 people outside the Northwest Pass!
"How do you want me to help you?" Li asked instead: "Yuan Kuang, these are supplies that belong to me in Xiliang City. I also need them. I can't give them to you Lou Annoying!"
Aza has thought about this problem before. It is impossible for Xiliang City to give them the mineral veins in Loufan City. Now he only has more than 3,000 Loufans in his hands. It is okay to establish a small or second-rate force elsewhere. The resources obtained by this second-rate force are not comparable to what Lou Fancheng had before, but they can also make the people in the pass live a better life.
But what's the use?
Their tribe can't always rely on them to support them!
As the population grew, their lands became just as hostile as they were when they were defeated by the Daqian, who were still hostile to them.
The scholars trained by their clan, after entering the Daqian court, were completely thrown away, and they had no idea where to find a place.
In this situation, it would be useless even if there was one more Lou Fancheng. He felt that they needed a strong backer.
Xiliang City is such a backer. Although Xiliang City is now outside the Northwest Pass, judging from the appearance of Xiliang City, Xiliang City is the most likely to unify the entire Northwest Pass. It combines Loufan City and Ji The Qing army captured by the Demon City did not have this qualification.
The Great Wall Legion will not give the Qing Army this chance!
Without Lou Fan City, then why didn't he take his tribe into Xiliang City and rely on their tribe's support to let Xiliang City take over the entire northwest pass. By then, any soup leaking from Li Xiang's hand would be able to feed their tribe.
Aza knelt down on one knee and said to Prime Minister Li: "I am willing to take Lou Fanren outside the Northwest Pass to serve you. If you want us to go east, we will go east, and we will go west. Even if you want to fight Xuantian Sect, sir, We, Lou Fanren, will follow you to the death. If we repeat it, we will be punished by heaven and earth!
I just ask you, City Lord, to leak some soup so that we can feed our people!"
A dark green appeared on Li Xiang's mini-map, and the guy in front of him suddenly entered the allegiance.
Li also knew a little bit about Lou Fanren, and this understanding was due to Lou Fanren's fighting power. The battle with Lou Fanren was a stubborn stone in Daqian's efforts to unify the world. If it were not for Lou Fanren, Daqian could have unified the world three years earlier (excluding Northern grassland!)
Since Lou Fan's kingdom was destroyed, Lou Fan has disappeared from the eyes of the world. No one knows where Lou Fan has gone.
Li Xiang was thinking about Aza's words. It seemed that Lou Annoying's situation was not very good, otherwise he would not have let this big man kneel down.
"Get up!" As soon as Li Xiang finished speaking, the color of Aza on the mini-map was only slightly worse than that of the Xiliang soldiers, and a large area on the battlefield turned into dark green.
"How many of your tribe are there left?"
"Two million and three hundred thousand people!" Aza said loudly. This population is their pride. This is the most populous era since Lou Fanren appeared.
Li Xiang almost fell down: "Twenty-three million people, do you need to support them?"
Aza blushed a little: "City Lord, our Loufanren's farmland is limited, and we are located in Huangjiang, and the Xijiang Army is outside our clan. The Xijiang Army suppresses Huangjiang in the Western Region, and at the same time it suppresses us, Loufanren.
Relying on Loufan City, the number of our Loufans has returned to one million. The increase in the number of people has meant that the food produced in the cultivated land is only enough for food. If the harvest is not good, there will be a shortage of food!"
Aza said with a wry smile: "Every year, half of the supplies we in Loufan City get are handed over to the senior officials of Daqian, and the remaining half is divided into 50% and sent to the clan. In the end, what is left is for us in Loufan City.
Money used to purchase supplies and food.
It may be because of this reason that so many people rebelled!"
After Loufan City was captured, Aza thought a lot. Those who joined them in Loufan City were not Loufan people. They could not and had no obligation to work hard to support the Loufan clan like the people in Loufan City.
They can't stand it. Every year, a quarter of their money falls into the hands of other people who don't pay anything and are not related to them. This may be why there are so many traitors!
"How much money do you send back a year?" Li Xiang asked after hearing Aza's words.
Aza said: "About five hundred thousand taels of silver every year!"
"Five hundred thousand taels of silver, which means you can earn two hundred taels of silver a year?"
Aza nodded: "About this amount, of which about 1.5 million silver taels were earned from this Yuan Mine!"
Loufan City is in this wilderness and does not have as abundant supplies as around Xuanshui Lake. Most of the supplies in their city come from this Yuan Mine. A small Yuan Stone can cost dozens of taels of silver. Some Origin Stones can reach thousands.
Tens of thousands of taels of silver.
"Report!" Xiliang cavalry ran to Prime Minister Li: "Lord, all the Qing Army troops have been captured, and 1,300 people have been captured!"
"Take care of those people!" Li Xiang said to the Xiliang soldiers, then turned to Aza and said, "I'll talk about your questions later!"
"Since you two want to join me in Xiliang City, I won't refuse, but you must abide by my Xiliang rules!"
"Absolutely!" Luo Mu responded: "City Lord, please rest assured, we Jimo disciples only want the ancestor's golden body, and we won't think too much about anything else!"
