The city lord's palace in Tupo City is much more luxurious than their simple city wall. It has a wall that is almost as tall as the city wall, a mansion made of precious trees, and a pool and small garden inside.
Xiliang soldiers occupied the four gates of Tupo City, and Prime Minister Li also learned about the number of people in the city from Wulao.
Tupo City originally had a total population of 140,000. After hearing that the Xiliang army was coming, the city's population was still about 90,000.
Among the 90,000 people, there are about 30,000 young and middle-aged people, and the remaining 60,000 are old, young, women and children.
There is a lot of food in the city, enough to feed 100,000 people for two years. Things like silver have been taken away by the rich. It is considered good for commoners like them to have weapons in their hands. Don't expect to get them again.
what money.
On the second day after Li Xiang arrived at Tupocheng, the three separate armies also rushed to Tupocheng. Along with the army came a large number of people.
It was not difficult for the three armies to capture the three small towns. The wall made of bitter bamboo could not even stop some large ferocious beasts, so how could it stop the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
The population of the three small towns reaches 80,000, and there are about 30,000 young and middle-aged people. The rest are women, children and the elderly.
The most troublesome internal affairs at Li Xiang Station have begun again. There are many problems here, which are much more difficult than those in Longling City.
Half of the young adults in the city are hunters, and the remaining half make a living by digging winter bamboo shoots. There are many wild beasts in the Bamboo Bamboo, and everyone has some strength.
People who practice martial arts generally have a very strong temper. Every once in a while, two groups of people will fight in the city. If it were not for the Xiliang army, these people might directly fight with their weapons.
These bad habits must be changed. Li Xiang thought about it and finally came up with a way, which was to throw all these people into the army and have Xiliang soldiers train them.
Each of these people has some basic knowledge and has seen blood. If these people only need to surrender, then they will become a good army!
There are militiamen in Xiliang, and these are also regarded as militiamen. They can be recruited during wartime, and they can be allowed to hunt and farm on weekdays to go about their own business.
The south of the northwest land was relatively peaceful, but a city not far from Jiuyuan County in the north was filled with smoke. The whole city was in the sound of howls, including the howls of ferocious beasts and the howls of humans.
This is a city built on a large Yuan mine. The permanent population of the city reaches 300,000, which is considered a very large city in the northwest.
Because of the existence of Yuan Mine, the height of the city wall was much higher than that of other cities. Huge holes appeared in the three-foot-high city wall, and huge ferocious beasts poured into the city.
Everything the beast's eyes passed was destroyed, and the defenders in the city were unable to resist. The city owner, a second-rate master, was attacked by a white leopard and became the leopard's food.
The huge rhinoceros king, which was four feet long and about two feet high, walked among the human buildings. Buildings that were very solid in people's eyes were easily destroyed. A large number of people were trampled to pieces with one foot. They thought they were hiding in the place.
The house was very safe, and I never thought I would be trampled to death by a giant beast.
In the eyes of the Rhino King, they are just like ants. They will not blink an eye even if they die. When humans kill ants, will anyone protect those ants?
There were screams everywhere, and the people in the city regretted not listening to the Great Wall Legion. They thought that the walls of their city were tall enough, and there were 30,000 troops in the city, enough to block the impact of the vicious beasts.
Gao Yuan returned from patrolling in the south, received news from the north, and brought the remaining 5,000 Great Wall cavalry from the Great Wall Legion to this city, outside Yuancheng.
A large number of people and civilians ran out of the city, followed by some low-level ferocious beasts.
Medium and high-level ferocious beasts are not very aggressive towards these civilians. Compared to their size, humans are like toothpicks, and the energy in their bodies is not very high. Eating a human is worse than eating a low-level ferocious beast.
Low-level ferocious beasts, humans are just delicacies to them.
Gao Yuan raised his spear: "Great Wall Cavalry, charge!"
"kill!"
The Great Wall cavalry galloped up, and the people in Yuancheng ran forward with all their strength. They heard the galloping sound coming from far ahead. The sound was the same as the sound of all the ferocious beasts charging. Some people stood there in a daze.
Some of them dragged their families and continued to run. The thick smoke in the city behind told them that it would be their turn when everyone in the city died.
A person with sharp eyes saw the flying battle flag and cheered with joy: "The Great Wall Army, it's the Great Wall Army, they are coming! The Great Wall Army is coming!"
Just when the Great Wall Legion's cavalry appeared, a team from the northeast also dared to arrive. They were wearing uniform sect uniforms. When they saw the thick smoke billowing from Yuancheng, the middle-aged man in the lead had a bad look on his face. They were still late.
This is the second time that support has come late. The first time was at Yumen Pass, which caused the city to be destroyed. This time, it was also late, and Yuancheng fell into the hands of vicious beasts.
"Save as many people as you can!" The middle-aged man was afraid that his young men would be impulsive, so he specifically warned: "Remember, you can save more people by sparing your whole body. Now the inner disciples will follow me."
Enter the city and reach the south gate of the outer disciples. There should be many civilians there. All you need to do is take those civilians away safely!"
"Let's go!" The middle-aged man rushed towards the tightly closed east gate, followed by more than a thousand inner disciples, and the remaining nearly four thousand outer disciples, led by another middle-aged man, ran towards the south gate.
.
Gao Yuan led his cavalry and rushed to the gate of the south city. The gate was blocked by civilians. Everyone was rushing to run out, but because they were crowded together, the speed was very slow.
"Be on guard! Guards are coming with me!" Gao Yuan jumped off his horse and led fifty guards to the city gate. The city gate was in chaos. Some people saw the Great Wall Legion and stopped in place.
"Everyone, please be quiet!" Gao Yuan roared angrily. Because his voice was filled with vitality, many people's ears buzzed, and the whole place was forced to become silent.
"The guards stand on both sides!" The fifty guards behind quickly divided into two teams and crossed to both sides of the city entrance. Gao Yuan continued to use his true energy to amplify his voice: "If you run in such a mess, there will only be one end, and that is to be brutally killed.
Kill the beast.
Now follow my command, don’t squeeze and come out slowly, I, Gao Yuan, am here with the Great Wall Legion, and with us in a short time, the ferocious beasts cannot rush over!"
"After leaving the city, run directly to the direction of Jiuyuan County!" Gao Yuan's voice continued to increase, and the team had begun to commotion. Gao Yuan pulled out the long knife in his hand: "Who the hell dares to jump in the queue, or rush forward with all his strength, I will give it to you
If you want to kill someone, don’t pack a big bag or a small bag, just bring some food.
Start moving!"
When the people in the city saw that the city gate had not moved, they pressed forward. The guards had no choice but to place their spears in front of these people. If anyone dared to push forward, they would shoot them directly and knock down more than a dozen people in a row.
The talents are at peace.
The guard shouted loudly: "Wait a minute and go out. Don't mess around. If anyone dares to run around, my gun will not recognize anyone. Don't take any big items with you. Can you outrun the ferocious beast with it? Can you take it with you?"
Jiuyuan County has prepared a place for you to live over there!..."
The people at the city gate had almost left. As soon as the two guards put away their spears, some people wanted to rush forward ahead of others. The two guards held their spears and hit them without hesitation. They wanted to attack these ordinary people.
, in the blink of an eye, the person who tried to squeeze out ahead of others received a stick on the shoulder, and those few people instantly calmed down.
Gao Yuan led ten people to the city gate. At the city gate, he could see the city in the distance that had been engulfed in flames. There were also a large number of civilians running towards the side. Following those civilians were a large number of murderous people.
beast.
"General, Xuantian Sect's reinforcements have already felt that the main force has arrived in the middle city area. The remaining outer sect disciples, led by an outer sect elder, will go to the south city gate immediately!"
