"City Lord!" Liu Zhen wiped the sweat from his forehead. After receiving the order from Li Xiang, he hurried over slowly, with some sweat on his forehead.
At this time, the children in the Taoist Temple have been divided into classes of fifty, and are taken away by their respective teachers. It won't be long before these children become people from Xiliang City, and they will most likely belong to the main group.
Li Xiang turned around: "What do you think of this city?"
"Very good, the height of the city is close to the river!" In addition to being busy these days, Liu Zhen took a look at the surrounding environment: "If we send people to dig a channel from the river, and form a moat around the city, then
The city’s defense has been greatly improved!”
Longling City is not very far from the river flowing from outside the pass. If you really want to dig a channel to get there, it is easy.
"Then are you willing to serve as the lord of this city?"
Li Xiang's words stunned Liu Zhen. In Li Xiang's mini-map, Liu Zhen's color was similar to that of most of the people loyal to Xiliang in Xiliang.
This guy is also diligent in his work. Li Xiang's main direction now is to fight against the ferocious beasts. The number of ferocious beasts discovered by the scouts in the north is increasing.
He needs to focus all his energy on the ferocious beasts in the north, and has no time to take care of the internal affairs in the city. At present, Xiliang's internal affairs personnel are basically outside the pass, and only Prime Minister Li can do it inside the pass.
Liu Zhen gave him a very good impression, and his abilities were also very good. After all, he was once the head of the family. The framework of the city master had already been established, and he could just execute what he needed.
"City Lord, this, my ability..." Liu Zhen stammered as he didn't know what to say.
Li Xiang patted Liu Zhen on the shoulder: "You are the only one who can be trusted in the city now!"
"In two days I will lead my army north. The scouts discovered a herd of ferocious beasts, and their numbers are still growing. I need to destroy them before they take shape.
There are still many people in the city who want to resist, and these people will definitely jump out after I leave. I will leave you three thousand infantrymen and soldiers from the Five Dragons Legion. You have to help me take care of this city!"
"City Lord, you trust Liu so much. If Liu doesn't recognize you again, wouldn't it be disrespectful to praise him!" Liu Zhen bowed to Li Xiang: "I will definitely look after Longling City for the City Lord."
"There are not too many things in the city. They have basically been solved. What needs to be focused on now is the north of the city..."
....
The two of them chatted while walking towards the city lord's mansion. To the north of Longling City, across the forest, on the white land, a huge group of ferocious beasts slowly walked south. This place was like a paradise to them, with an incomparable climate.
of warmth.
In order to resist the cold in the snow forest, they need to consume a lot of blood every day, but here they feel warmth, incomparable warmth, and they don't need to consume much blood.
The herd of beasts slowly moves southward. Sometimes they will enter the forest when they see it. Most of the northwest land is wilderness, and there are many woods in the wilderness. These places usually grow a lot of plants that can only be found in bitter cold places.
Xiliang scouts observed these ferocious beasts from a distance and recorded their appearance, movement speed, and attributes.
There are also types of ferocious beasts. Some ferocious beasts are predators, and some ferocious beasts are vegetarians. Of course, they will eat meat if they are in front of them.
Herbivorous beasts are generally larger in size. They usually walk very slowly and staggeringly, but when they are attacked, their burst of strength and combat effectiveness far exceed that of most predators.
Most of the top ferocious beasts in the snow forest are not predatory beasts, but ferocious beasts that usually appear to be harmless and huge in size. Even the top predators would not dare to fight this type of ferocious beasts.
their attention.
The ferocious beasts that are currently approaching belong to the herbivore type, and it is not ruled out that some of them like to eat meat. They are classified into the herbivore type because their staple food is various plants. If you really count, the entire
There is no ferocious beast among the ferocious beasts that does not eat meat.
The Xiliang scouts are all dressed in snow-white, and even their war horses are covered with a layer of white fur, which makes them perfectly blend into this world.
When the Xiliang scouts were inspecting the ferocious beasts, they also saw spies from other forces not far away. They seemed to be scouts sent from several small towns in the south.
There are four or five small towns between Longling City and Tupocheng. This area is considered a relatively wealthy place in the south and has all kinds of wonderful specialties. These small towns were built on these specialties.
As the ferocious beast moved south, the Great Wall Legion immediately sent people to tell these people that the Great Wall Legion could only protect the Jiuyuan County side now.
Several small towns sent out their scout troops. The threat from the beasts was really too great!
The Xiliang scouts took one look at those people and paid no attention. They carefully observed the surrounding underground. The lord was about to come with his cavalry. Their scouts also had another mission, which was to find an ambush place for hunting ferocious beasts.
When the scouts sent by the town started to move in Xiliang, they discovered that there was a person not very far away from them!
When the Xiliang scout didn't move, he was perfectly integrated with the whole world!
At this time, the distance between the ferocious beast and Longling City was less than 100 kilometers. Li Xiang led 5,000 cavalry, 1,000 archers, and 1,000 swordsmen.
The sword and shield soldiers set off, and the remaining soldiers assisted Liu Zhen in taking control of Longling City.
When Prime Minister Li was here, the people in these cities were very quiet. This was no longer the case after he left with his army!
Total, total, total!
The hoofs of the cavalry broke through the snow-covered ground. Archers and sword and shield soldiers sat on carriages. Behind the carriages were also pulling various large war machines with wheels mounted on them.
If we didn't have these powerful war machines to attack the ferocious beasts, there would be a lot of casualties in the team.
The impact of the ferocious beast's charge is much more powerful than that of ordinary cavalry.
These war machines are designed to deal with the charging beasts, killing the beasts at the front and leaving behind corpses that will hinder the beasts behind.
The news that Li Xiang was setting off with his army soon spread throughout the city. Some old guys who were dissatisfied with their old age thought that because of their age, there were no Xiliang soldiers to go to work.
The prisoners in the city were either cutting down trees outside or digging in the mining areas.
These old guys were the only ones who were not dragged away. When these people were young, they followed Long Qingyuan's father to rob everywhere. Even though they are old now, they still have fighting power!
They can still pick up the knife and fight!
The old guys began to gather together. It seemed that they were all playing together, playing chess or playing games, but in fact they were secretly discussing how to rescue the child!
These old guys are all veteran killers, even if they are very old now.
On the first day that Liu Zhen was appointed as the Lord of Longling City by Prime Minister Li, what he wanted most was to be brought to this city by a few good friends from Langya City.
Wolf Fang City can transform from a gang of gangs, with the whole city fighting every day, to a stable city in just a few years. It is indispensable for a few friends to help each other, and they each perform their own duties.
What Brother Xiao is best at is appeasing the people. What he, Liu Lao Er, is best at is business. He is responsible for running the city's commerce. Yu Zuo, the guy from the Yu family, is best at intelligence. He likes to chat with all kinds of people.
The information obtained is naturally huge.
Finally, there is the lord of Langya City, Wei Chixing. This guy is the most mysterious and powerful person among the four of them. He knows the troops and dispatches the troops. They were able to wipe out the gangs back then because of Yuchixing's methods.
If these friends come over, the old and young in this city will not be a problem at all!
The soldiers of the Five Dragon Army can be used with confidence and boldness. These soldiers are now sleeping with the women of the previous robbers. If those people stand up again, they will be the unlucky ones.
The soldiers of the Wulong Army suppressed the army together with the army left behind by Li Xiang. As long as there is no particularly big problem, it is impossible for these people to stand up again!
Just in case, Liu Zhen went to the headquarters of the Five Dragons Army in person. Heilong was the boss of the five commanders, and his army was also the most powerful among the Five Dragons Army.
Black Dragon was a little surprised by the arrival of Liu Zhen. Liu Zhen, the patriarch of a family in Langya City, became the current city lord of Longling City because he stayed with Li Xiang.
This position may be permanent or it may be for a period of time.
"I don't know. What's the matter with City Lord Liu coming here?" Heilong asked Liu Zhen to come to the council and asked straight to the point.
Liu Zhendao: "I don't know, is there anything strange about those prisoners recently?"
Heilong recalled Liu Zhen's words and thought hard: "The captives have recently accepted their fate and worked hard, but axes and other tools are getting damaged a bit quickly!"
"Axe?" Liu Zhen frowned: "Where is the damaged ax? Did you get it back? Or can you see the broken ax? Is the ax blade broken or the ax handle broken?"
Liu Zhen's continuous questions made Heilong frown, and he called someone to call the steward in charge of this matter.
Both of them felt that something was serious...
the other side.
Li Xiang led the army to stay on the path where the ferocious beasts must pass. The intelligence from the scouts has been sent back. The quality of this batch of ferocious beasts is not very high. They are all low-level herbivorous ferocious beasts. The most powerful one is only one foot and five meters long.
of behemoth.
The Xiliang army stationed their camps in a few rooms along the road, and built a huge defense facility on the side facing the ferocious beasts, with all kinds of war weapons aimed at that side.
This is the frontline of Xiliang City's defense line. You can see a sentry post every five kilometers. Now the sentry post in Xiliang City no longer looks like the simple one before. Instead, you can observe from the top and have a resting place below.
There is enough space for two people to rest.
There is also a flag of Xiliang City on each sentry post, which means that this flag belongs to Xiliang City!
Prime Minister Li opened the small map in the tent. The Northern Defense Front was in his mind. He could see the yellow neutral forces, either ordinary beasts or people from other forces. These are considered neutral forces.
At the sentry post not far from the camp, several people crowded together at the sentry post in Xiliang City. They had seen the Xiliang scouts on the ice field many times, but there was no contact between the two parties.
Just today they saw an army. The flag of this army was the same as the flag on the sentry post, and it also had the Chinese characters on it.
This unit is most likely the builder of this sentry post. Such a building allows personnel to rest at ease even in the cold winter. The only drawback is that the building is a bit too dense and the number is a bit too large.
In a sentry post on the other side, two thin young men had eaten and lay on the bed in the sentry post. The wooden boards around them blocked the cold wind, but the temperature inside was still a bit low.
These were scouts sent by the Great Wall Legion. Jiuyuan County had already heard the news and asked the two of them to come.
Xiliang City was their lifelong pain. They joined forces with Xuantian Sect to fight against Xiliang City, but in the end they were defeated by Xiliang City and the coalition forces of the two forces suffered heavy losses.
Xuantian Sect's power outside the pass is about to perish, and their Great Wall Legion directly lost 10,000 troops and Yumen Pass.
If those 10,000 horses had not been lost, they would not have needed...
"These outposts and that army are from Xiliang City!" A Great Wall Legion soldier who was lying down said: "Xiliang City took the initiative to attack the pass just as the general said. These outposts should be prepared for the scouts!
"
"Longling City and Langya City have fallen into his hands. The remaining Tupo City must be waiting for these ferocious beasts to be killed before he will lead his army to the east. Should we report this information as soon as possible?
?”
Another scout said: "After they kill the ferocious beast, they can send this news back!
Centurion Wang is under the command of Prime Minister Li. I feel that tomorrow's battle will be exciting. Maybe we can see some things from it that we can't usually see.
But the sentry posts built in Xiliang City are really good!"
They have never fought against Xiliang City's army and are not very clear about the fighting methods of Xiliang City's troops. They would like to see how Xiliang City fights against ferocious beasts.
There are no walls in the wild, no obstacles that can protect them from the ferocious beasts!
Prime Minister Li marked several red dot sentry posts. There were only a few forces that expressed hatred for Xiliang City, including the Great Wall Legion, King Jiuyuan, and the troops of Longling City.
The forces outside the northwest pass were automatically ignored by Prime Minister Li. Now the passage inside the pass outside the pass is in Li Xiang's hands. If people outside the pass want to enter the pass, they have to pass through the unit pass in Xiliang City.
As long as the pass is defended, people outside the pass cannot enter, so these people do not care about external forces. King Jiuyuan was also abandoned by Prime Minister Li. Considering that Zhuo Bufan has not yet reached Jiuyuan County, how can King Jiuyuan become his enemy?
The rest are the people from Longling City and the scouts from the Great Wall Legion.
Let your scouts pay attention. The army is silent in the dark night. The scouts at the front are busy in the darkness, sending first-hand information about the ferocious beasts to the camp.
The night sky is very bright. After the last snow falls, the sun and bright moon greet the northwest land.
The speed of the ferocious beasts is neither fast nor slow. They follow the fluctuations of spiritual energy and move south. They can feel many things from the air. There are Yuan mines and various foods in the south!
