The cyan army pulled out a long line on the yellow wilderness, and a black cavalry followed the cyan army.
This time, the commander of the army was still Song Cheng. Song Cheng decided to rush to the outside of the Loufanyuan Mine as quickly as possible and capture the mine.
The Great Wall Legion's troops mobilize not only with words, but also with profits. After the mine is taken, this Yuan Mine will belong to the Great Wall Legion.
The Qing Army acted quickly. When they sent people to discuss with the Great Wall Legion, Zhou Hangjie mobilized the army.
Xiliang City's frontal strength is very strong, but in terms of detailed operations, Xiliang City is very weak, even inferior to some small forces.
Qingjun acted very quickly this time and did a very good job of keeping things confidential.
After the Qing Army was dispatched, several other forces got the news.
They know the movements of the Qing Army. Does the Qing Army want to fight Xiliang City again before winter?
Just when some people wanted to send news to Xiliang City, the gate of the Great Wall opened, and an elite Great Wall Legion army was dispatched. The cavalry and infantry moved. At the same time, a letter announcing the alliance between the Great Wall Legion and the Qing Army was sent to other places outside the Northwest Pass.
In the hands of all major forces.
After receiving the letter, some people stopped what they were doing. The Xuantian Sect and the Great Wall Legion joined forces to destroy Xiliang City. No one was optimistic about the future of Xiliang City.
No one dared to spread this news to Xiliang City at this time.
When Li Xiang received the news, the Qing army rushed to the bottom of Yuan Mine.
There are 7,000 Yuankuang defenders, 4,000 elite soldiers drawn from the 7th Army Corps, 3,000 Xiliang soldiers, 1,000 archers, 1,000 spearmen, and 1,000 swordsmen.
Outside the Yuan Mine were 40,000 elite troops from the Qing Army, 20,000 miscellaneous troops, and 13,000 from the Great Wall Legion.
A total of 73,000 people, this number is a large amount even within the pass, but with Xuantian Sect and Great Wall Legion jointly taking action, this number of soldiers is nothing. In the base camp of Great Wall Legion and Xuantian Sect, even if they summoned ten
Wan Dajun is not a difficult task.
These soldiers brought sufficient supplies and siege weapons, and waited for the fortress to launch a fierce attack on the second day after arriving at Yuanchang. The Xiliang soldiers on the Great Wall were also resisting vigorously.
All kinds of siege weapons were used, but the fortress still existed. The Xiliang soldiers in the fortress led the soldiers of the Seventh Legion to fight to the death.
Every section of the city wall that the Qing Army captured paid a heavy price. The corridors of the city wall were full of corpses, and bright red blood flowed down the steps of the city wall.
The stubbornness of the defenders was beyond Song Cheng's imagination. They lost more than 10,000 cannon fodder before they were able to take down the city wall, but the remaining Xiliang soldiers were still resisting.
The 8th Thousand Captain of the Spear Soldiers held a blood-stained spear. The red tassel under the spear head was dripping with blood. This spear killed countless enemies. From the spear to the red tassel, they witnessed Xiliang together.
The establishment of the city, the destruction of Black Tiger City, the fall of the Holy Land of the White Lotus Sect, and the failure of the coalition forces.
It's a pity that I won't be able to see the Lord's face again in the future.
The eighth thousand captain raised his head. There were only four spearmen left in the surrounding area. The others had died in the battle. The long sword captain fell from the city wall with an enemy master. The body of the bow and arrow captain was in front.
He struggled to kill more than a dozen enemies.
The soldiers of the Seventh Legion were also good. No one escaped, no one surrendered, and they fought to the death with all their strength.
Death on the battlefield is the destination of a warrior!
The eighth thousand captain straightened his back. Six days of fighting had left him with wounds all over his body. The four spearmen behind him also straightened their backs. They were the last few soldiers left in the city. The rest were all dead!
"Is this the Xiliang soldier?"
Pang Sheng, who was wearing silver-white armor, looked at the Xiliang captain not far away who straightened his back: "It looks good, it can be used as my collection!"
Next to Pang Sheng, Song Cheng knew what Pang Sheng meant, frowned and said: "General Pang, they are warriors and should not be humiliated!"
"Is becoming a collection an insult to them?" Pang Sheng was a little unhappy when he heard Song Cheng's words: "I, Pang Sheng, cannot be anyone's collection. It is their honor to be favored by me!"
Pang Sheng's collection consists of cutting off the enemy's heads and using special methods to protect the heads from decay. He has many collections, including all kinds of creatures, but most of them are human beings.
Pang Sheng picked up his long bow and shot an arrow from a distance. When the captain saw the arrow coming, he wanted to move, but his body refused to obey him. He shot an arrow through his throat and stared at the sky.
...
All 7,000 people in Yuan Mine were killed, and no one surrendered or retreated.
The corpses everywhere made people feel like they were in hell. Pang Sheng happily cut off the captain's head and used it for processing. Song Cheng wanted to organize, but was held back by the people around him. Pang Sheng represented the Great Wall Legion. If he and Pang Sheng
There was a falling out.
This is very detrimental to the alliance between the two forces.
Song Cheng could only divert his attention. In this exhibition, they suffered serious losses in capturing Yuan Mine. More than 6,000 cannon fodder troops died, and more than 5,000 people lost their combat effectiveness. They needed to be trained in Yuan Mine. Three thousand elite troops were lost.
There were many people, so the number of people they lost in this battle had reached about 15,000.
And all 7,000 people in Xiliang City were wiped out.
It was not the Xiliang soldiers who were defeated in the battle with Xiliang, but their coalition forces. If there were more Xiliang soldiers and more masters in the city, it is hard to say whether they could win the Yuan Mine.
Shortly after the coalition forces captured Yuankuang, Li Xiang led his army to Beixuan City.
"Report!" A scout ran to the lord's palace of Beixuan City: "My lord, Yuan Mine has been lost, and no one of the seven thousand troops has survived!"
Cry!
The tea cup in Li Xiang's hand fell to the ground. Li Shui and Zhang Qingyun looked at the scout. The scout continued: "According to the letter from the scout in front, the top masters of the Qing Army and the Great Wall Legion rushed to the city wall to open a gap. The Eight Thousand Swordsman
The commander and a second-rate enemy master died together. The commander of the 10th-thousandth Archer ran out of arrows to fight with the enemy in hand-to-hand combat, and was finally hacked to death with random swords.
The eighth thousand captain of the spear was killed by the enemy general, and the man proudly hung the leader of the eight thousand captain of the spear on his horse!"
As soon as the scout finished speaking, there was silence in the hall, so quiet that no one dared to speak out.
Click!
The handle of the throne was grabbed by Li Xiang. Li Xiang's eyes were cold and he said: "Have you found out the number of enemies?"
The scout continued: "The number of enemies is approximately between 50,000 and 70,000. This is estimated based on the stoves after the enemy army left."
"Where are they now?"
"The other party is heading towards the iron ore area. They will probably arrive at the iron ore area tomorrow, and then they will reach the Wilderness Grange!"
Li Xiang took a deep breath: "Pass my order and order Nanli City to send another two thousand soldiers to Xiliang City. All the Guards Corps will be transferred over. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry from the Dark Fortress and the three thousand light cavalry from Juhu City will be transferred over. Iron Mine
The people in the area withdrew, and the wilderness estates were completely destroyed.
I'm going to kill them all!"
Li Xiang's words were filled with murderous intent.
This time, Li Xiang only brought 2,000 spearmen, 2,000 crossbowmen, and 1,000 swordsmen to join the battle in a hurry. He planned to unite the 7,000 people in Yuan mine and confront the Qing army for a while, waiting for the opponent to retreat.
Only when he came here did he realize that it was not only the Qing Army who wanted Xiliang, but also his recent ally, the Great Wall Army.
I was just preparing to mobilize troops from other places to deal with it, but I didn't expect that the other party would attack so quickly.
Death on the battlefield is the best destination for a soldier, but it is a shame to hang the enemy's head beside the horse!
Of course, if the opponent is the winner and is qualified to do this, then Prime Minister Li is also qualified to do this!
In this battle, he wanted to use the heads of the opposing soldiers to worship the dead warriors.
The entire Xiliang City began to mobilize. The Seventh Army Corps was originally part of the previous deployment plan. The Seventh Army Corps had been trained long ago, but soldiers from all over Beixuan City were summoned outside Beixuan City.
The soldiers of the Seventh Legion were sent to a small river on the edge of the wilderness, waiting for the next plan.
Nanli City sent two thousand spearmen, and the naval force became a transportation force. Three days later, two thousand Xiliang soldiers from Nanli City arrived, followed by Xiliang City's Guards Corps, one thousand archers, and two thousand swordsmen.
soldiers and two thousand spearmen.
Li Xiang pointed out that the number of Xiliang soldiers reached 12,000, plus the 2,000 spearmen, 2,000 swordsmen, 1,000 archers in Beixuan City, and the 10,000 seventh legion. The second batch of 10,000 soldiers is still in training.
.
With 17,000 Xiliang soldiers and 17,000 archers, the main battle force of the Xiliang army arrived within four days.
After the coalition troops captured Yuan Mine, their forward speed slowed down. Xiliang City already knew their movements and there was no need to rush as before.
Now they only need to steadily attack Beixuan City, the gateway to Xiliang City, and capture this city. The tiger in Xiliang City is missing a very important tooth. They can also use Beixuan City to cross directly.
Xuanshui Lake, or proceed from further north.
The enemy is getting closer and closer, and the number of Xiliang soldiers in Beixuan City is also increasing.
Many people in the city are preparing to flee this place of war. Under the propaganda of the Qing Army about the Yuankuang area, the forces outside the pass know that Xiliang City has lost the opportunity in the new round of fighting with the Qing Army.
The loss of 7,000 people was something that would have been unimaginable before the major forces started recruiting soldiers frantically. A commander of a thousand soldiers from the Yuankuang garrison in Xiliang City was killed by Pang Sheng, the general of the Great Wall Legion.
, the head became Pang Sheng’s trophy.
This news also spread to various places outside the pass with the defeat of Yuan Kuang.
Li Xiang sat down outside the Taoist temple and looked at the bright moon in the sky. The coalition soldiers had already reached the vicinity of the Wilderness Farm. It was he who had reclaimed the land for the Wilderness Farm. With the efforts of the farmers in Xiliang, the wilderness gradually became green, but because of this
During a war, these farmlands were destroyed by Xiliang farmers themselves.
"You are filled with killing in your heart!" A calm voice sounded. Li Xiang looked up and saw the old Taoist Qingsong who was almost healed.
Li Xiang smiled and said: "Killing is not the best way to solve the problem, but it is the most effective way."
Old Taoist Qingsong sat next to Prime Minister Li and sighed: "That's right. I wonder if there is anything you need my help with?"
"The battlefield is not suitable for an outsider like you!" Li Xiang looked at the moon and said, "I came here just to let myself be quiet!"
Old Taoist Qingsong smiled: "I still want to go with you to see the Xiliang army.
At the beginning, I thought you were the troops of the Great Wall Legion outside. After I learned more about it, I realized that Xiliang City only belongs to Xiliang City and does not belong to other forces. You may be the most promising force to agree with this.
It’s time for this smoky area to be unified!”
Qingsong patted Li Xiang on the shoulder: "Go back and rest! I will accompany you tomorrow!"
Li Xiang: "Taoist Priest, just leave me alone!"
"Get some rest early!" The old Taoist stood up and walked towards the Taoist temple.
He had his own plans when he agreed to go to the battlefield with Li Xiang. He felt something in Li Xiang that had broken through to the next level. He didn't know how to describe it.
Things like realm are very mysterious, and many people don't know how to break through. Sometimes they will break through as they practice, and sometimes their strength will directly increase a lot once they gain enlightenment.
He felt a feeling in Li Xiang that allowed him to break through.
.....
the next day.
Tap tap tap!
Li Xiang rode a tall horse on the stone road of Beixuan City, followed by the enemy's Xiliang cavalry in thick black armor. There were only three hundred cavalry, and the rest had already gathered with the army in front.
The arrival of the Xiliang cavalry and light cavalry brought the number of this army to 40,000.
Li Xiang and his entourage were wandering around, and eyes appeared in some houses, looking at the cavalry brought by Li Xiang. These eyes seemed to be looking for something, and they moved around from time to time.
These buildings were surrounded by a large group of people in black clothes. Soon after Li Xiang left, the people in these buildings were either dead or missing.
coalition forces.
"We have received news that the lord of Xiliang City, Li Xiang, is personally leading the troops from Xiliang City. We don't know how many troops Xiliang City has sent yet!"
In the big account
Song Cheng said to Pang Sheng: "General Pang, when the Xiliang City army comes, the cavalry will also come. Then it will be up to you, General."
The troops sent by the Great Wall Legion are all pikemen. Their main weapons are spears, they are covered with leather armor, and they also have long knives and various small weapons on their waists.
The Great Wall Legion soldier's weapon set costs fifty-five taels of silver in Daqian.
This amount is much less than what it cost for Xiliang City soldiers to change jobs, but for most army soldiers, these weapons and equipment are enough to feed and drink them for several years.
The infantry phalanx that controls the cavalry is the pikemen. The weapons and equipment of the soldiers of the Great Wall Legion are much better than those of the Qing Army. The equipment of many soldiers of the Qing Army is just a weapon, and their clothes are just dyed with a layer of cyan, which makes them look good.
Some, don't have much effect.
Pang Sheng squinted his eyes and said, "Before coming, you didn't say you wanted us to resist the cavalry!"
Song Cheng was speechless for a moment, and Pang Sheng continued: "However, if you are willing to give that iron mine to our Great Wall Legion, it will not be difficult to resist the cavalry!"
