Early the next morning, a long motorcade came out of Langya City. There were not many horses in Langya City, so naturally these boxes containing silver were placed on the carriage and pushed by the men in the team.
All thirty carts were pushed by people. Li Xiang acted as the guard commander of Langya City. He had 1,500 people under his command. Including the people pushing the carts, the number of the entire team reached 2,000, which was 3,000 less than planned.
people.
Hanging far behind this team are the Xiliang cavalry and four thousand infantry. They want to capture Longling City in this battle. The army needs to be dispatched at the same time. The men and horses of the transport team are also dispatched to transport various sieges for the Xiliang army.
Weapons, siege engines from Xiliang City, various large war crossbows.
The Xiliang scouts patrolled around the clock to ensure that the army's movements would not be discovered by the Longling City scouts, ensuring the army's concealment.
From Langya City to Longling City, it takes about five days at the current speed of the army. The journey is peaceful, with white land on both sides. Thanks to those caravans who jointly invested in building this trade road for supplies outside the customs. Otherwise, otherwise
With this weather condition, the road has long been damaged by ice and snow.
There has been no problem for a few days. The surrounding wild beasts and ferocious beasts did not dare to get closer when they saw so many people in the team. They hid far away when they saw them from a distance. They have been living in the northwest for a long time.
Not short, very sensitive to danger.
Liu Zhen rode a red horse to Prime Minister Li: "General Li, walk across the slope in front. Even if we reach the boundary of Longling City, there is a restaurant in Longling City on the slope in front, and it is also Longling City."
Their spies will be notified by them as long as it is a caravan with a lot of supplies and a small power.
When we get there later, we can ask our men to pretend to accidentally put the box on the ground while carrying the silver, and scatter the silver in the box. With the greed of these guys, they will never let it go.
This opportunity, even if these silver coins are from our Langya City, they will still eat them."
Liu Zhen has walked this road several times and knows the characters of these people in Longling City very well. Even if these people clear their identities and become the rulers of a city, they are still bandits at heart.
What could be more attractive to these robbers than silver coins?
As long as these bandits rush out, the Xiliang army will definitely annihilate the opponent's army. He knows the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang army very well. If there is a battle between Longling City and Xiliang Iron Cavalry on the plain, Liu Zhen believes that the winner is the Xiliang army.
Longling City's troops are indeed good, but can they compare with Xiliang Ironware?
This is a force that can defeat the Great Wall Legion.
"Then will Long Zhantian be in the army?" Long Zhantian is the most important part of Li Xiang's plan. The leader of Longling City is Long Zhantian, but the real person who controls the power in Longling City is the head of the Long family.
Liu Zhen is very familiar with Long Zhantian. He is a restless person. Even though he is now in his thirties, he still acts like a young man.
"General, don't worry, Long Zhantian will come in person with his army."
While the two were communicating, they had reached a small slope and a camp appeared. This was a resting point set up by Longling City. It was still half a day away from Longling. Rest here for the night and set off the next morning around noon.
You can reach Longling City.
Li Xiang looked at the sky. The sky was gray and the sun had not appeared since they set off. The team entered the camp to rest. There was a cold wind and it seemed that it might snow again.
The camp is very large and can accommodate tens of thousands of people to rest when necessary. Now that it is the off-season, there are basically no caravans, and the people in the camp are happy to have a rest.
When they saw the Langya City team coming, the people in the camp looked curiously at the goods being transported by the people of Langya City. Without the consent of the owner, others were not allowed to touch the goods. The guys could only watch the goods being transported by the people of Langya City from a distance. goods.
Bang!
Just as the boxes on the car were being transported to the warehouse, the car hit a pillar on the edge of the warehouse. The whole carriage fell, and a box flipped out. The bright silver fell out from the box, not far away. The eyes of the guys who have been looking at this side are shining, silver, everything is silver!
The peasants quickly collected the silver and put it in the box.
That day, a horse left the camp quickly, and all this happened in the eyes of the Xiliang soldiers.
....
As the largest city on the commercial road, Longling City is different from Langya City and Tupo City. Langya City and Tupo City are cities belonging to Daqian. There are people from the Daqian court in the city, and their Longling City is for My own family did not choose to release the rights of Longling City.
This city has belonged to the Long family for hundreds of years, and everything in the city is the property of the Long family. However, in order to have a qualified status and not to be destroyed by the Northwest Military Headquarters, they have to give them a large amount of supplies every year. A backer on the northwest land.
"City Lord!" A guy with stern eyebrows ran quickly to the main hall with a letter. The Long family in Longling City was the local emperor, and having a palace in the city was nothing.
There was a cold wind outside, but it was extremely warm inside. Yuan stones with fire energy were used in the palace for heating. Only the people from the Long family in Longling City were willing to do this.
A middle-aged man with a somewhat pale face stood up unsteadily from the crowd of women. When he saw the sly eyebrows running in, displeasure flashed in his eyes: "Say!"
Seeing Long Zhantian's look, the young man with stern eyebrows and rat eyes knew that if he didn't satisfy the city lord, his end would not be very good, so he hurriedly said: "The camp said that a big fat sheep has arrived, a big one!"
The city lord listened and looked around. The women surrounding him left immediately. The young man walked up quickly and said: "A team from the Wolf Fang City came from the camp. Because of the ferocious beast, the head of the Liu family took Liu The elite family is transporting thirty cartloads of things to Jiuyuan County.
While transporting the goods, the car bumped into the pillars placed specially by the boys in the camp. The box rolled down and a little of the money inside was scattered.
The boys took a look and found that the cars were very heavy, especially the five cars protected by hundreds of big men. They should contain Yuan Stone.
The city lord is now at the time when ferocious beasts are making trouble, so it’s a good time for us to take action!”
Hearing the young man's words, the city lord's pale face turned red. What he liked most was killing, but even the civilians in the city mostly had some relationship with other major families. They would just forget about beating and scolding, but if they really killed people , is likely to cause dissatisfaction among others.
The Long family is very strong, and other families in the city are not weak either. They are all inherited from the time when they were bandits. The Long family is just the leader of these people, so these strengths have been preserved.
If he wants to vent his anger, he can only look for the small caravans who come to the northwest customs. Every year, a large number of small caravans go to trade with these major chambers of commerce. These small chambers of commerce are his targets. He does not dare to provoke those big chambers of commerce. , if you are not careful, the entire Longling City may be destroyed.
He didn't go too far. Disappearing one or two small chambers of commerce every year would not be a big problem. Any more would probably affect trade. Plus, they thought they were hiding it very well and no outsiders knew about it.
The major chambers of commerce didn't care, as long as they weren't provoked.
If they would not move the team in Wolf Fang City in normal times, there is a person in Wolf Fang City that they are not willing to provoke, but now is the time when the ferocious beasts are causing trouble. As long as they kill all the people in the caravan, this will
It won’t be leaked out. There are ferocious beasts everywhere now. Let’s leave all problems to the ferocious beasts soon, okay?
Thinking of Long Zhantian, he asked: "How many people are there?"
The young man smiled obscenely: "There are three thousand people in total. If we want to annihilate them all, we can bring about twelve thousand people forward so that none of them can escape!"
"Okay!" Long Zhantian nodded and said, "Then take 12,000 people and assemble the troops!"
The army of Longling City is under his control. There is no need for soldiers to do anything now in winter. Everyone is very free. After receiving the order from the city lord, these soldiers have all gone out with the city lord and know the character of their own city lord and what to do when they go out.
What.
Bringing all the weapons and equipment that need to be brought, the twelve thousand people set off. The people in the city have long been accustomed to it. If their city lord carries it quietly in the city, they will feel there is a problem.
The distance was not very far, and these Longling City soldiers only brought food for one meal, waiting to return to Longling City for a big meal.
After each mission is completed, the city lord will prepare a lot of food for them, including enough beef and mutton, and sometimes some fine wine.
The senior officials in the city didn't care much either. Except for their own people, there was no force around Longling City that could compete with them. What's more, this time the city lord brought out an army of 12,000.
Li Xiang and his party advanced slowly. The Xiliang scouts had already discovered the soldiers of Longling City. This time, Longling City dispatched a lot of troops.
The Xiliang cavalry were ready for battle. The infantry and transport troops rushed to the camp. The people in the camp were dumbfounded when they saw the Xiliang infantry phalanx in full gear. This was that troop again.
Wanting to send someone to deliver a message to Longling City, Xiliang Iron Cavalry appeared in the distance, ran out and killed one of them, and the camp soon became Xiliang's camp.
No one was left inside, they were all killed, and the bodies were thrown into the snow. The smell of blood will soon attract hunters in the winter. These people who were full of sins during their lives will have no food for these winter days after their death.
Contributing oneself to the wild beasts can be regarded as a kind of merit.
The cavalry increased their speed, and the distance between them and the frontline army became faster and faster. The distance between the two sides could be reached by the cavalry in about a quarter of an hour running at full speed.
As if I felt that there was going to be a big war on the ground, some snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and there was a vast expanse of white snow.
Li Xiang and Liu Zhen rode in the front, while the soldiers behind took their weapons and the contents of the boxes were thrown to both sides at will to make the carriage lighter. The battle was about to start, so that the soldiers could save some strength.
Long Zhantian is dressed in a white robe and a white war horse, with his hair flowing freely. He looks very handsome. If some little girls see him, they will be fascinated.
But it was this man who looked like a gentleman on the outside, who caused a bloody storm around Longling City every year, and countless people died with the sword on his waist.
"Stop!"
Li Xiang saw the troops of Longling City from a distance. As soon as he raised his hand, the people behind him stopped. The people pushing the carts were ready to turn these carts into defensive walls at any time, which could block long-range attacks from bows and arrows.
The Lord of Longling City saw the troops stopped in the heavy snow ahead, and looked at the Langya City troops with seductive eyes: "Surround them, I want to kill them bit by bit!"
Total, total, total!
The soldiers of Longling City ran forward. These people in front could get one tael of silver for killing each one. This was one tael of silver. Such a good deal only happened to them once every two or three years. Many times they only heard about it, but it was not true.
have obtained.
This time they met!
"Defense!" Prime Minister Li shouted loudly, and the soldiers pushing the cart pushed the boxes forward, using these boxes as their shields.
Spears emerged from the gaps in the carts, and the entire team turned into a giant hedgehog. The weapon in Li Xiangyi's hand turned into a square halberd.
Three thousand people quickly formed a huge circle, and all the people from Langya City were inside, waiting for the troops from Longling City to come.
At the same time, the Xiliang cavalry behind also received news from the army in front. The cavalry began to dispatch, and the speed increased little by little.
Shabu Shabu Shabu!
The snowflakes are falling faster and faster, and heaven, earth, and time are all snowflakes.
Long Zhantian led five hundred cavalrymen to the front of the team first and looked at Li Xiang, who was riding a war horse and holding a strange weapon, and a middle-aged man, the head of the Liu family in Wolf Fang City, a third-rate man.
Killing is more comfortable if you have some cultivation.
Liu Zhen saw Long Zhantian pretending to be scared and said to Long Zhantian: "Long City Lord, what are you going to do?"
"What do I want to do?" Long Zhantian said bluntly: "Isn't it obvious? I'm here to collect money!"
A large number of soldiers rushed over from both sides. To surround the troops in Wolf Fang City, they had to start from both sides.
"kill!"
The opponent has already dispatched, and Prime Minister Li is not one to sit still and wait for death. An order is passed down, and the long arrows in the hands of some Langya City soldiers are shot out.
Most of the soldiers from Langya City who followed this time were hunters, and the most basic skill of a hunter is to be able to use a longbow.
Whoosh whoosh!
The long arrows flew out and accurately inserted into the bodies of these Longling City soldiers. Some soldiers were hit by arrows while running and could no longer stand up.
When Long Zhantian saw Li Xiang and shouted, the people from Langya City started to fight back. This was the first time he saw Li Xiang.
Both Li Xiang and Xing Liao were superior to others, and could not feel the breath of true energy at all. They exuded a strong aura similar to those of physical practitioners.
The war horse underneath him is taller than the tallest war horse on the grassland. This is a good horse!
Long Zhantian said comfortably to the young man with a sly eyebrow and extremely wretched eyes: "I want that war horse and let my men not hurt it!"
The young man took a look at the horse under Li Xianghe. He was such a tall man and such a tall horse!
