Dora glanced at her sister who was protected by the swordsman in golden armor, and a trace of envy flashed in her eyes. She also wanted someone to protect her, but unfortunately because of her status as a half-elf, those who met her either coveted her body or her power!
Li Jin rode his horse slowly to the front of the team, followed by Charlie. Li Jin knew some popular languages in the Western continent, but Charlie relied on him for more profound ones.
Charlie, who was following him, seemed a little excited. As a soldier, he liked the feeling of being on the battlefield. Unfortunately, due to his status, it was difficult for him to go to the battlefield.
Dora looked at the one below who was covered in armor with only a pair of eyes exposed. The most attractive thing was the long weapon. The other one was wearing a thick coat and his face was also covered with a layer of cloth.
"I don't know. What do you want to do when you come to my Banmu City?" Dora said in the common language of mainland China.
Li Jin raised his head and his eyes met Dora's. What Dora saw was indifference. Dora's beauty did not make Li Jin's heart move at all. Charlie was a bit rude. According to the intelligence, Dora, the Lord of Banmu City, was extremely beautiful.
"Xiliang, Northern Jin Army Commander Li Jin!" Li Jin said loudly in the common language of the Western Continent, which was very difficult to pronounce: "I have taken a liking to your half-timbered city and want to knock it down!"
Li Jin's domineering voice stunned everyone on the city wall, even Charlie. However, Charlie quickly realized that Li Jin was now equivalent to a platinum master in the Western world, and he almost became a strong man on earth.
The golden-armored swordsmen on the city wall felt a lot of pressure. This pressure came not only from Li Jin, but also from the Xiliang army behind Li Jin, which was the most terrifying force.
"Xiliang?" The elf next to Dora said: "You are from the Eastern world, right?"
Li Jin raised his horse: "No need to talk about it, fight or surrender, give me the right answer!"
boom!
Behind them, the Xiliang swordsmen raised their shields in their hands, the archers and crossbowmen entered a state of war, and the cavalry looked straight ahead. Such a city wall could not stop them.
The Xiliang troops below were preparing to fight, and the murderous aura on their bodies was released. The creatures on the city wall acting as melee troops couldn't help but take a step back. The only ones who could fight against the Xiliang troops were the half-elf troops behind them.
The people on the city wall cannot feel the strength level of the people below. Before fighting on their side, the color of fighting spirit will appear on their bodies. After reaching the earth level, the color of fighting spirit will be covered up.
When Dora heard Li Jin's words, she didn't know how to reply. This was just blocking people to death, okay?
The elf on the side said: "Banmu City is protected by our elf empire. Is it worth it for you to come from the far eastern world and start a conflict with our elf empire over a city?"
The elf who spoke removed his disguise, revealing the characteristics of the elf clan, pointed ears, and deep eyes: "I can assure you that as long as you move the Banmu City, the elf empire will attack you.
You may be very strong, but this world belongs to our Western world!"
Charlie said next to Li Jin: "General, there are pure-blood elves above. If we really attack, it is very likely that we will really cause an attack from the elves. The elf empire can launch an empire for the sake of an elf who is living outside and is enslaved by humans.
Great war!
If we really fight with them, you may have no choice but to retreat with these ten thousand troops!"
The elf on the city wall continued: "Not far from Banmu City, a large group of centaurs have established a stronghold. That area is rich in water and grass, and water transportation is convenient. There is also a forest next to it. If the centaur stronghold is taken down, there will be sufficient resources.
We will provide you with supplies to build your city!”
Li Jin looked at the elf: "How do I know what you say is true? Or are you lying to me?"
The elf smiled: "What good will it do me to lie to you? But if you are worried, I can show you the way!"
The swordsman in golden armor next to him wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He just waited for the next development.
"General, there is indeed a centaur stronghold behind Banmu City, but the number of centaurs reaches 20,000, and all the people are soldiers," Charlie said.
"How's the combat effectiveness?" Charlie compared it in his mind: "It's probably equivalent to a soldier who has been trained for three years and has no fighting spirit!"
"Then let's do it!" Li Jin was still a little unwilling to see Banmu City. There is a big river next to Banmu City. This river can transport goods. If you follow the river, you can reach the depths of the chaotic land.
The only fly in the ointment is that it is too close to the Elf Empire that Charlie mentioned. Li Jin doesn't know how strong the Elf Empire is, but he can still deal with these ten thousand people no matter how hard it is.
He raised his head and said to the elf: "Forget it, just let the Banmu City Lord next to you lead the way for me!"
When Li Jin saw the elf, he didn't believe the elf. She was too smart, but the Banmu City Lord next to her was a little stupid!
Dora opened her eyes wide, wondering why she was leading the way. The swordsman in golden armor behind him used magic to transmit messages to Dora. A few seconds later, when the elf was about to speak, Dora said: "Okay, I'll give it to you."
lead the way!"
The half-blood creatures looked at the city gate tower where their queen was. However, when the elves appeared, the owner of this city became the city of elves.
The reason why their half-timbered city has developed to this day is not the queen, but the elves, because their queen's sister is a pure-blooded elf royal family.
The female elf glanced at the golden-armored warriors behind her. These people must have said something to her sister, otherwise her sister would not have made such a decision.
But it’s not like my sister leads the way and I can’t follow behind to watch!
The female elf said to Li Jin: "General Li, my sister will help lead the way. Please also ask General Li to protect my sister's safety!"
Li Jin nodded: "This is natural!"
The soldiers on the city wall who thought there would be a big battle breathed a sigh of relief. Why did they come to this half-timbered city instead of going to other cities? Wasn't it because they were interested in the relationship between the Elf Empire and the half-timbered city?
This place is not very far from the Elf Empire, and elves often come to play in the city, making this city safer than other cities.
Click, click, click!
The city gate slowly opened, and Dora rode a reindeer to Li Jin's side. The nearly two-meter-tall reindeer was taller than a war horse when compared with Western human war horses. Compared with Xiliang war horses, it seemed to be a little shorter?
"Retreat your troops and prepare to go to the next place!"
The Xiliang army moved extremely quickly. They put away their crossbows and arrows, carried their large shields on their backs, put away their spears, and turned their carriages around. The army quickly reorganized their ranks, bypassed the half-timbered city, and headed toward the back of the half-timbered city.
"What a fast speed!" The female elf was dumbfounded. Even in their elite empire, there were very few troops that could do this. The murderous aura exuded by the Xiliang troops before showed that this army was not a vase.
But a real iron-blooded army.
"Take care of the city!" the female elf said to the half-elf next to her, and with a sweet voice, a snow-white unicorn flew out of the city. The female elf rode on the unicorn and followed the army.
The reindeer led by the golden-armored swordsman ran out of the city gate, and the group mounted the reindeer and followed behind. The half-elves dispersed, and it was time to clean up some spies in the city.
There are half-elves patrolling the city walls, city gates, and outside the city. Some people who want to leave the city are easily killed by these elites!
The advancing Xiliang army slowed down. The cavalry, a thousand spearmen, and a thousand swordsmen fell behind. The Xiliang swordsmen and spearmen were covered with Expeditionary Chamber of Commerce coats. A large number of Xiliang soldiers were lying on the carriage.
Above, the Xiliang carriage is four meters long, and part of the carriage is mostly empty. This is the gap left by the consumption of food on the road.
The pike soldiers put the animal skins on top, lay down on them, and wrapped the animal skins on top. There were two people lying on a carriage, and more than a thousand people were lying on the five hundred carriages. Only two thousand were left following the carriages.
Archers, two thousand crossbowmen, one thousand swordsmen, and people from the Expeditionary Chamber of Commerce were at the outermost edge of the team.
There are almost ten thousand people in the mighty caravan. This is the largest caravan in this area.
The people from the Expeditionary Chamber of Commerce were at the outside of the team, and the yaks carrying the goods attracted the attention of others.
Li Jin, who was behind, kept a distance of ten miles from the troops in front. With the speed of the Xiliang cavalry, he could quickly reach the battlefield. A thousand swordsmen and spearmen were within five miles of the army.
Snowflakes were falling in the sky, with very little visible range.
On a small high slope, all you can see is a big white tent. Centaur children are running and fighting with wooden spears. Some short goblins are busy cooking for their masters.
This is a centaur stronghold, a centaur tribe that can recruit 20,000 warriors, and is also a first-rate force in the land of chaos.
The centaur tribe of nearly 30,000 people is a large tribe even in the Orc Empire.
In the centaur clan's tent, a goblin was kneeling on the ground. In front of him was the centaur clan leader with a solemn look on his face. After a while, a centaur warrior ran in excitedly: "Chief, the goblin commander did not lie. That was a
The team of the Human Chamber of Commerce!”
"What chamber of commerce?" asked the centaur chief. There are some chambers of commerce that they will not offend easily!
The centaur warrior said: "It's the Expeditionary Chamber of Commerce that made a big splash last year. When they were recently dispatched, I heard that they brought more than 10,000 people to the Eastern World. I thought it was a rumor. Now that they are back, I saw them with my own eyes.
flag, you can see a large number of yaks in the distance, and a carriage in the middle of the yak protection!"
"Chief, we are rich!"
The young centaur said excitedly. White smoke was coming out of the centaur chief's nose. Last year, the Expeditionary Chamber of Commerce earned at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins. That's hundreds of thousands of gold coins!
This time, the Expeditionary Chamber of Commerce organized tens of thousands of people to go to the Eastern World. No one knew whether it was true or not. Many forces sent people to follow the Expeditionary Chamber of Commerce, but unfortunately all the followers disappeared without a trace.
The Expeditionary Chamber of Commerce earns at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins from one round trip.
If these gold coins fall into their hands, they will ask the empire for more centaur warriors so that they can put armor on their tribe and get better weapons!
"Gather the clansmen and let's do it!" the centaur clan leader who didn't have much brains yelled.
Wu~wu~
The horn sounded, and for a moment the world was filled with the sound of centaur hooves, and a large number of centaurs gathered on the vast grassland in front of the camp.
When they learned that the target of this attack was the Expeditionary Chamber of Commerce, these centaurs seemed very excited.
As bandits, they have a large intelligence network. They know who and what forces can rob and who and what forces cannot move. In a chaotic land, they can rob very few caravans a year, so they can only protect them nearby.
Fee, and then separate small groups of troops to hide on the grasslands outside major cities, waiting for the caravans to pass by and take a vote!
They have never been mobilized together like today. All the young and middle-aged people in the clan who can move moved and rushed towards the caravan.
Two or three and a half men and horses are equivalent to 20,000 cavalry. When they run, the sound is so loud that the earth shakes.
"Uu~~"
The Xiliang soldiers blew away the desolate sound of the horns. Through the formation patterns in the horns, the sound spread far away and could be heard clearly by Li Jin's troops ten miles away.
The men from the Expeditionary Chamber of Commerce pulled the yak and ran towards the middle of the army. The troops in front and behind the Xixiliang army, one speeded up and rushed forward, while the other turned around and quickly went back.
On a high slope not far away, the female elf was riding on a unicorn. She wanted to see how these orientals could fight against the centaurs.
The special packhorse responsible for pulling the carriage burst out at the fastest speed. The soldiers above had already fallen down. Soon the five hundred carriages were arranged in a circle, with the packhorses and yaks lying on the ground. The goods on the carriages of the Xiliang army were some grain and
Weapons and a small amount of salt, they carried no goods for sale.
They came here this time to establish a stronghold and lay a foundation for the caravans to come from behind!
Bags of grain and grass became obstacles at this time, and a two-meter-wide carriage stood on the ground, forming a defensive wall, although there were still some loopholes.
The pikemen stretched out their spears from the loopholes, the archers were in the middle of the team, and the repeating crossbowmen stood up and leaned on the carriage to point the repeating crossbows forward. They were Zhuge's repeating crossbowmen. Under the demonization of various magical buildings, they
The range reaches a terrifying four hundred meters!
Moreover, it can fire ten times in a row, which takes about three seconds to complete. Two thousand repeating crossbowmen are divided into four batches, and it takes at least two minutes to load the repeating crossbow.
The crossbow arrows used in the continuous crossbow are very expensive. Five crossbow arrows are worth one tael of silver, which is more than twice as expensive as the arrows of the bow.
This time when he went west, Prime Minister Li spent a lot of money. Each soldier was equipped with two hundred crossbow arrows. The long arrows of the archers were much cheaper than those of the crossbowmen. They cost one tael of silver and twelve. They were also more durable than the crossbow arrows. Each man
Carrying one hundred and twenty pieces cost twenty thousand silver.
The two hundred crossbow arrows of the Lian Nu cost 80,000 silver, which adds up to 100,000 taels of silver!
The soldier crossbowmen at the back placed the crossbow arrows brought from the carriage next to everyone, two hundred arrows each, which meant that one person shot twenty times in a row!
When the army formation was ready, the centaurs also rushed to the battlefield. What they saw was a large formation forming a huge circle. They didn't dare to see what was in front of them.
