Li Xiang couldn't combine the identity of the somewhat elegant-looking middle-aged man in front of him with the identity of the Lord of Longling City. Maybe this is because people should not be judged by their appearance?
Hearing the sound of running, Li Xiang waited quietly in the formation for the army at the rear. It was okay for his two thousand men to block the opponent, but if he went out to fight the opponent, forget it!
An army of ten thousand people is not easy to command. Only 3,000 of the 12,000 people in Longling City have arrived, and there are still a large number of soldiers on the way.
The soldiers of Langya City defended in place and did not rush out of the formation to fight the enemy. They used sharp spears to form a safe formation, and the two sides quickly fought.
Longling City
A man in Tsing Yi sat on the guest chair of the Long family: "Mr. Long, the king can't wait any longer. The main force of the Great Wall Legion is not here at this time, and the Zhao family is in another city. Now is our best opportunity!"
Long Qingyuan, the head of the Long family, sat on the main table, spinning two iron beads in his hands: "I don't know, how many people does the king need to mobilize?"
"All the troops!" The man in green said: "The Great Wall Legion needs enough people to control it. Currently, the only troops in Jiuyuan County that can compete with the troops retreated by the Great Wall Legion are your Longling City, Shangyuan and Taiyuan.
The 60,000-horse army in Shangyuan and Taiyuan needs to guard against the Great Wall Legion and the ferocious beasts in the wilderness.
The only thing the king can use is your 50,000-strong army in Longling City. The king needs to capture the entire Jiuyuan County in the shortest possible time. On the day of action, there will be about 10,000 defenders in the city!"
Long Qingyuan frowned: "Now the vicious beast is about to attack, and our Longling City army is out, who will protect my city?
Will such a hasty action be discovered? If the Imperial Capital knows about it..."
"Imperial Capital? The Imperial Capital is already overwhelmed by the demon clan and prairie people, so there is still energy for this place that is about to belong to the enclave." The man in green had already thought of a countermeasure before he came: "Send the Longling City to
Just escort them to Tupocheng. That area is already guarded by the Great Wall Legion. People like the Great Wall Legion are not easy to get in, but the place they guard is really safe. Just rest assured, they will definitely be able to
Hold the line of defense and you people in Longling City will not be attacked by ferocious beasts!"
"Transfer to Tupocheng?" Long Qingyuan kept spinning the beads in his hand: "Can the people over there agree?"
The man in green chuckled: "Master Long clan, when you get there you will be the lord of Tupo City. What else do you have to worry about?"
"The king has issued a transfer order, and the position of city lord over Tupo City has been vacated!" The man in Tsing Yi handed an appointment letter to Long Qingyuan. This is the appointment letter for the city lord of Tupo City. You only need to fill in your name.
good.
Long Qingyuan immediately thought of his son Long Zhantian, and he wanted to write his son's name!
"Old man, the king is sincere enough!" It is not easy to obtain the official position, especially for people in the gray area like the Long family. No matter how powerful you are, or even build a city in the wild,
You also have to pay taxes obediently and contribute something to the backers who protect you, otherwise you would have been destroyed by the army of cadres.
Now that he has received a letter of appointment from Tupocheng, his family can be said to be free of bandits. From today on, they can package themselves as a family of officials. With their financial and human resources, it will be easy to continue to climb the ladder.
Long Qingyuan's slightly trembling hands calmed down. After all, he was a first-class master and had seen a lot of things. He was excited at first and then quickly calmed down.
"Go back and tell the king that our Long family obeys the order!" Long Qingyuan said: "The population in the city has reached 130,000. It is already winter. Please give us some more time to clean up!"
"This..." The man in Tsing Yi was a little embarrassed. After thinking for a while, he said, "I don't have enough time. Why don't we temporarily send 30,000 troops to follow me?"
Long Qingyuan felt a little anxious after hearing what the man in Tsing Yi said: "Is the situation over there already so bad?"
The man in Tsing Yi sighed: "Luo Tiansheng, the governor of Jiuyuan County, has a bad temper. A few days ago, due to the issue of defense against ferocious beasts, the two sides had a big quarrel. The prince's chess pieces in several important places in Jiuyuan County were directly pulled out.
, Fortunately, Tupocheng is not a very good place, otherwise it would be a matter of course whether I could get it for you or not!
Luo Tiansheng seemed to have sensed something, and ordered Heyuan guard Wan Peng to rush to Jiuyuan City with 5,000 troops. At this time, the army in the city was under his control!"
"Wan Peng, Thunderbolt Sword Wan Peng?"
"That's him!" The man in Tsing Yi picked up the tea and smiled at Long Qingyuan: "I heard that you, old man, stole a woman from him, and you were one step away from being plotted. The beauty followed Wan Peng. From then on, Wan Peng's career skyrocketed.
At this time, my subordinates control 10,000 troops!"
Long Qingyuan chuckled and said: "It's all over, but if you are this person, you really have to pay attention!"
He had a slight smile on his face and looked very unconcerned. The two iron balls in his hands had been completely squeezed together. This happened more than twenty years ago. Because of this incident, he returned to Longling City from outside.
.
The man in Tsing Yi continued: "If this battle is won, I will be a minister of the Dragon, and there will definitely be a place for the Long family in the land of Jiuyuan!"
"Hahaha!" Long Qingyuan laughed: "Then let me borrow the general's good words!"
While the two were chatting, a disgraced scout strode back to the hall: "Sir, something bad has happened. Something happened to the city lord!"
Long Qingyuan, who was still smiling at first, turned cold. He only had such a son, and the Long family had to rely on Zhan Tian to continue the family line. The more threatened he was, the calmer he had to be: "What's going on!"
The scout knelt on the ground: "The young master took twelve thousand people to the west camp to rob the silver of Langya City. It was fine at first, and surrounded the people of Langya City, but just an hour ago, a cavalry group appeared
, dispersing our army in an instant!"
The people in Qingyi and Long Qingyuan were both a little confused. Long Qingyuan continued to ask: "What cavalry? The other party must have a flag!"
The scout didn't dare to raise his head: "The opponent's battle flag seems to be a thing, and they are all wearing black armor!"
Black armor, with Western characters, Long Qingyuan didn't know anything about it. Longling City was engaged in business within the customs, and didn't know anything about the forces outside the customs. They would not understand the forces outside the customs.
In their hearts, there are just a group of sinners outside the Guan. They will stay outside the Guan for the rest of their lives. If they are in prison, they can still come out when His Majesty grants amnesty to the world.
Once outside the pass, these people are no longer Dagan people, but a group of savages who have been driven out. It is impossible for the savages to come near again.
Moreover, news from outside the customs rarely reaches inside the customs!
The man in Tsing Yi beside Long Qingyuan frowned and thought for a moment: "Are all of those people tall?"
The scout lying on the ground responded: "Yes, as soon as they charged, the troops at the front were cut off by sickles, and rows and rows of brothers fell down!"
"Sir, do you know this force?" Long Qingyuan looked at the man in Tsing Yi.
The man in Tsing Yi looked a little solemn: "If your guess is correct, these people should be from outside the Pass, the largest force outside the Pass, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry from Xiliang City!"
"Xiliang Iron Cavalry?" Long Qingyuan looked at the man in Tsing Yi with questioning eyes, and the man in Tsing Yi continued:
"The Xiliang Iron Cavalry once attacked the Great Wall Legion on the frontal battlefield. Before winter, the Great Wall Legion sent Pang Sheng, a first-rate general, with 3,000 Great Wall Iron Cavalry and 10,000 Great Wall Legion soldiers to march outside the pass, with the intention of destroying Xiliang City.
At that time, there was also the Qing Army supported by Xuantian Sect. The Qing Army and the Great Wall Legion jointly attacked a mine in Xiliang City and killed nearly 10,000 defenders inside.
Li Xiang, the lord of Xiliang City, led tens of thousands of Xiliang troops and fought fiercely with the coalition forces in the wilderness. The victory was decided in one day. The coalition forces retreated and Pang Sheng died in the battle. Thirteen thousand people from the Great Wall Army did not survive. If these soldiers had not
Even if you die, maybe Yumen Pass will not be lost!"
"Is Xiliang City so powerful?" Long Qingyuan couldn't believe it. He knew the strength of the Great Wall Legion very well. After Longling City got permission from the king of Jiuyuan County, it frantically expanded its army to 50,000 troops.
, there are only 250,000 horses in Jiuyuan County, and they have 50,000 people in one city.
But even if there are 50,000 people, they don't dare to provoke the Great Wall Legion. The Great Wall Legion is the most ordinary army and is stronger than them!
The man in Tsing Yi frowned and said: "It should be that the Great Wall Legion retreated to Jiuyuan County. There was no one guarding the pass, so the cavalry from Xiliang City rushed over.
Now it is estimated that Langya City has fallen into the hands of Xiliang City!"
"My son is still here, should I send an army to support him?" Long Qingyuan's son's status is the first in his heart, even if his son is already over thirty years old.
The man in Tsing Yi shook his head quickly: "The Xiliang cavalry is best at field battles. The cavalry has great restraint on the infantry on the plains. Let's take the army out. Maybe this is what the other side wants to see the most!
Perhaps, the team that ran out of Langya City was their bait to attract the Dragon City Lord to come out, and then use the cavalry to sneak attack the Dragon City Lord, wait for the Longling City army to come out, and use the mobility of the cavalry to annihilate the 50,000 Longling City soldiers.
Army!"
Long Qingyuan felt a bit fanciful when he heard this. Did he look down on Longling City too much? But the most important thing now is how to rescue his son.
"I wonder what the general wants to do?"
The man in green said: "Old man, you and I will ride up first with hundreds of guards, and the army will come from behind. Remember to bring more long spears, you need long spears to deal with the cavalry.
What Xiliang City likes most is gold and silver, if the other party wants it, just give it to them!"
"That's right!" As long as Long Qingyuan hears the news about his son, his IQ will drop. Long Zhantian is Long Qingyuan's weakness. This is something everyone in Shanlongling City knows.
"Let's set off now!" Long Qingyun was worried that something might happen to his son.
....
kill!
The Xiliang iron cavalry sprinted back and forth on the battlefield, their sharp spears stained with blood, and the ground became muddy. The red blood, yellow mud, and water made of white snow. Among the three, you have me, and you have me.
The heavy snow falling from the sky covered the soldiers who died in the battle. Long Zhantian didn't feel proud at all at this moment. He was so arrogant when he came, but now he was in such embarrassment.
Before the 12,000-strong army reached the halfway mark, they were forcibly dispersed by the Xiliang cavalry. This was the first time Longling City's army fought against the cavalry.
They were frightened by the huge momentum of the cavalry charge, and were frozen by the cold murderous intent of the Xiliang cavalry. They could only watch the horses' hoofs trample on their heads, but they could not make any other moves.
The long weapon could easily pierce their leather armor...
Seeing the ferocious side of the Xiliang cavalry, these Longling City soldiers turned around and ran away. Nearly six thousand soldiers turned around and ran away. They were scattered by the cavalry and scattered on the vast white land.
About half of the remaining soldiers were blocked by the cavalry, and they could only be surrounded by the Xiliang cavalry along with Long Zhantian. Half an hour into the battle, the infantry phalanx army also arrived on the battlefield.
Li Xiang did not take any action in this battle, and just led the carriage quietly to wait for the battle to end.
After the Longling City army experienced chaos and fear, nearly three thousand people were left to form small square formations, protecting Long Zhantian in the middle.
They could only watch the cavalry showing off their power on the side, and they did not dare to move at all. They did not know why these cavalry did not launch the final attack, but gave them a chance to breathe.
A scout came to Prime Minister Li and whispered a few words, then left in a hurry. Prime Minister Li was a little surprised.
Liu Zhen couldn't help but ask: "General Li, is there something wrong?"
"There must be a problem!" Li Xiang pulled up the Fang Tianji: "Longling City did not send a large army, but instead sent hundreds of people. They should come to us for discussion!"
Li Xiang said with some pity: "What a pity. If our soldiers in Xiliang headquarters were not generally tall, otherwise there would be no need for cavalry. Wait until the enemy's main army arrives, and then let the cavalry be dispatched!"
The Xiliang cavalry had to be dispatched. These soldiers in Langya City were pretty good, but they were only good. In the battle between the Longling City army, they were at a disadvantage due to their numbers. If Li Xiang did not let the cavalry be dispatched, maybe this bait would still be there.
Will really be eaten by fish.
If there were soldiers from Xiliang headquarters, Prime Minister Li would never need to dispatch cavalry. With two thousand soldiers from Xiliang headquarters, he could completely block the enemy's attack.
The system of the Xiliang soldiers is too high and they can only be aggressive in the front, and they have nothing to do with the Xiliang soldiers in disguise.
Long Qingyuan and the man in Tsing Yi came to the edge of the battlefield and saw the Longling City troops scattered on the edge of the battlefield that had gathered. Long Qingyuan did not waste any time on these soldiers and ran sideways towards the main battlefield.
The snowflakes in the sky are getting bigger and bigger. It is a heavy snow. When the cold wind blows, the Longling City soldiers can't help but shiver. This makes them have to get closer to each other to block the cold wind.
Li Xiang led Liu Zhen and 500 cavalry guards to rush towards the people coming from a distance. The Xiliang troops had gradually taken over the battlefield, and the surrounding Longlingcheng troops turned into Xiliang infantry. The cavalry was liberating.
Boom!
The number of both sides was about the same, but the difference between the two troops could be seen from the running formation. The Xiliang cavalry maintained a certain formation, and Li Xiang, who was dressed in thin black clothes, particularly attracted the attention of the people of Longling City.
There is a lot of information in the hands of the man in green about Li Xiang. For example, Li Xiang was beaten to death or injured with a strange and extremely cruel weapon.
Yu!
Li Xiang reined in Xing Liao, and Long Qingyuan and his party also stopped. The two sides were about fifty meters apart. This distance allowed the horses to charge or flee.
"Is the person coming here the head of the Long family in Longling City?" Li Xiang rode his horse forward slowly: "I won't say anything more. Your son is in my hands. How much do you plan to redeem him for?"
Hearing Li Xiang's words, Long Qingyuan felt like a robber. The worries in Long Qingyuan's heart were much less. He should not be afraid of Li Xiang, but he was afraid that Li Xiang would not mention conditions.
"I don't know what City Lord Li needs or wants, you can just ask for it!" Long Qingyuan and the man in Tsing Yi also moved forward slowly.
Li Xiangdao: "I want you Longling City, will you give it to me too?"
"Longling City is right there. If you want to be City Lord Li, you can go there and I will ask my son to give up the position of City Lord to you, City Lord Li!"
The two of them came close to the middle as they asked and answered questions. The distance between the two sides was less than ten meters. Long Qingyuan was a veteran and first-rate master. He was not afraid of Li Xiang!
"Who is this?" Li Xiang looked at the man in Tsing Yi!
The man in Qingyi raised his hand and said: "Jiuyuan Sanren Qingyi has met City Lord Li!"
"City Lord Li, we also know that people don't tell secrets, you can say whatever you want!" The snowflakes in the sky are falling more and more, and Long Qingyuan is very worried about his son's safety. The fighting over there has stopped, but
The soldiers and cavalry surrounding them did not disperse.
"How much silver are you willing to pay?" Li asked Long Qingyuan instead.
"Three hundred thousand taels of silver!" Long Qingyun said his low price: "This is the total of all the silver taels in the city. I wonder what City Lord Li thinks?"
"Not so good!" Li Xiang looked in the direction of Longling City: "I really want Longling City. If you are willing to give Longling City to me, I will return your son to you immediately!"
When Long Qingyuan heard what Li Xiang said, his eyes narrowed slightly: "City Lord Li, you have gone too far!"
Li Xiang smiled and shook his head: "Am I going too far? Isn't this following the example of your Longling City? Longling City, this is what I want, if you don't agree!"
Prime Minister Li turned to the guards behind him and said, "Get ready to launch a general attack. I want no one left alive inside!"
"You are looking for death!" Long Qingyuan was so angry that he pulled out his sword and rushed forward to fight Li Xiang. The man in Tsing Yi next to him held Long Qingyuan's hand with one hand and said to Li Xiang with a smile on his face: "City Lord Li, you don't want to
Instead of talking, you want to start a war, right?”
"You use the Langya City team as bait to attract Long Zhantian City Lord, then surround it with cavalry, wait for the Longling City army to come out, and then eliminate them one by one, right?"
Qing Yi said while paying attention to Li Xiang's expression: "Perhaps City Lord Li wants to use the impact of the cavalry to disperse the Longling City army and destroy the entire Longling City army.
There are 50,000 troops in Longling City, and I think the number of Xiliang's troops no longer exceeds 10,000!"
"City Lord Li, are you so confident that you can destroy the Longling City army with these people?"
Li Xiang was a little surprised after hearing Qing Yi's words: "Look, there are no wise men in Longling City. I thought they were all a group of bandits who only know how to rob homes and houses!"
"Since you can know my plan, you should also know what Li Xiang wants!" Li Xiang held the Fang Tianji in one hand and Xing Liao began to walk back and forth: "I spend so much effort just for Long.
Lingcheng!”
He has no hidden goal, Longling City must be taken down!
Long Qingyuan put his hand on the hilt of the sword without saying a word, and Li Xiang could feel a force of energy locking him.
At this time, the Longling City army with a long queue rushed to the battlefield from behind. Seeing the army under his command, Long Qingyuan felt confident: "Then let's fight!"
Even if they move to Tupo City, Longling City can only belong to them. Longling City is a city built by their ancestors while fighting with their enemies. Without Longling City, they will have no roots!
Li Xiang raised Fang Tianji and nodded: "Don't worry, your son will definitely be alive before I kill you!"
After Li Xiang finished speaking, he turned around to return to his side. Long Qingyun saw Li Xiang exposing his back to him. Wasn't this giving him a chance?
However, this is also very likely a trap set by Li Xiang, just waiting for him to rush through.
Damn!
The crisp sound of the sword sounded, and when the sound completely fell, the long sword had already rushed behind Li Xiang.
"Death!" The man in green was no longer on the horse. When the long sword flew out, he and Long Qingyuan rushed at the same time.
snort!
Li Xiang raised his square halberd and smashed it back, bang!
The black zhenqi collided with the two cyan zhenqi. Li Xiang held the Fang Tianji in one hand, and the two of them went all out.
"Kill!" The soldiers of the Xiliang Guards saw that their lord was being attacked and immediately charged forward. All the guards had in their hands were horses. They were the selected Guards Cavalry.
The guards from Longling City on the other side also rushed forward, and both sides had a tacit understanding not to get close to the battlefield in the middle.
Ah!
The clothes on Li Xiang's body were torn, and his strong muscles were exposed, and the power exploded. The two of them withdrew their strength and flew to the ground with Li Xiang's huge force. They took more than ten steps back before stopping, and their hands were a little numb.
The two of them looked shocked. This guy was so powerful. They felt Li Xiang's unparalleled power!
drive!
Li Xiang turned around and rode forward. He saw that Longling City's men and horses had arrived, but if they could capture the old man in front of them, Longling City might actually be able to capture him!
Centaur and horse, Xing Liao burst out at the fastest speed in a short distance. The man in Tsing Yi raised his long sword, and the real energy in his body circulated rapidly: "One sword pierces the heart!!"
Buzz!
The long sword took off his hand and stabbed Li Xiang with green light. Long Qingyuan was also an old martial artist. What he was best at was not swords, but fists and kicks.
"The ground cracks!"
The man fell to the ground and punched the ground with both fists. The powerful fist collided with the charging Li Xiang.
Li Xiangfang charged up his halberd and smashed it, knocking the flying long sword away. When Xing Liao's punch came, he lifted his front foot into the air and stepped hard.
boom!
The black essence spread around, Long Qingyuan and the man in Tsing Yi both looked ugly, so strong!
"Contain him for me!"
The man in Tsing Yi sent a message to Long Qingyuan, and with a wave of his hand, the long sword that fell far away returned to his hand. He didn't have time to think about the wound on the long sword. He stood in front of the long sword, closed his eyes and the wind was blowing everywhere.
Buzz buzz...
The ownerless long swords scattered on the battlefield trembled and rose up on their own. Li Xiang felt something the same and looked at the man in green with his eyes closed.
"Your opponent is me!" Long Qingyuan is already in his sixties and usually appears as an old man. For a sixty-year-old first-class master, he is still at his peak.
Tear!
The clothes on Long Qingyuan's body exploded, revealing muscles that were even stronger than Li Xiang's appearance, and the azure true energy surrounded him like a green dragon.
"Qianlong!"
Another punch to the ground, Xing Liao retreated to the side, and the giant green dragon spurted out. Li Xiang saw that Long Qingyuan had already rushed in front of him...
