Ever since the new weapon Fang Tian Painted Halberd used by Prime Minister Li of Xiliang became famous, a lot of people followed suit and started to build this kind of weapon. They didn't dare to build it with the Fang Tian Painted Halberd inside, but it looked quite similar on the outside.
In the Zuqiang Fortress, there were also many children playing in the streets and alleys with weapons made of wood.
They have enmity with Xiliang, but this does not stop them from yearning for the strong. Why Ma Jin was so famous in Liangzhou before was because of the majesty of Ma Jin, the Qiang and other foreign tribes.
In Liangzhou, you can only survive if you are ruthless and better than others. Confucianism has no market in Liangzhou.
On the contrary, for people like Li Xiang who fought step by step from outside the customs, they might have doubted Li Xiang's performance before, but after Li Xiangzhong killed Ma Jin on the battlefield, no one doubted Li Xiang's combat effectiveness!
The restrained Major General Ma Jin couldn't even withstand a blow from Li Xiang, and the two masters nearby couldn't protect Ma Jin!
They don't know where these sources of information come from. They only know that the Ma family can be used to refute the rumors, and everyone thinks it is true!
When the soldier guarding the city saw the bright armor, the tall evil war horse and Fang Tian's painted halberd outside, the first thing he thought of was Prime Minister Li of Xiliang!
Li Xiangsha is here!
This is the second thought. The third thought is to kneel down and surrender: "I am willing to surrender!"
He was just a soldier guarding the city, not a arrogant general in the fortress. Those soldiers disliked the cold weather and left the defense of the city wall to them, the soldiers transferred from other cities. Those soldiers went aside to be cool.
, or lying in a woman's bed and being happy, while they have to go to this cold city wall to guard the city wall.
So when he first saw Li Xiang, the soldier immediately raised his hands above his head and threw his weapon aside.
Ta Ta Ta!
A series of sounds rang out, and the defenders saw a large number of Xiliang soldiers in black armor standing on the city wall.
The armor of Xiliang soldiers is black, which is very easy to recognize. The armor here in Daqian is usually red!
Several people inside saw the captain kneel down immediately, and they immediately followed suit. When they saw the Xiliang soldiers rushing to the city wall, these people breathed a sigh of relief. If they had chosen to resist just now, maybe they would have changed.
Turned into a corpse, lying on the cold ground!
Li Xiang did not expect that the soldiers guarding the city would cooperate with him like this. Feeling the strength of these soldiers, without any cultivation, it seems that they should be soldiers responsible for public security and usually watching the city wall, not the kind of soldiers who can be pulled out to fight.
Li Xiang asked other soldiers to go down and open the city gate. He walked up to these soldiers and looked at Li Xiang, who was more than half a man taller than him. These soldiers were under great pressure.
"Where are the elite troops in the city?" Li Xiang asked directly.
The squad leader said: "Back to your lord, because of the cold weather, the city lord thinks that you will not march in the cold winter. In order to maintain combat effectiveness, most of the people are at the military camp in the city!"
"How many garrison troops are there in the city? How many soldiers like you are there?"
The team leader said: "The number of defenders in the city is 30,000, of which 20,000 are elites, and the other 10,000 are soldiers who were mobilized from other places to serve those 20,000 just like the younger ones!"
Logistics troops, or what can be called the supply troops, Chen Huaihe took out the carefully crafted map and gave it to the squad leader: "The military camp is located at this place on this map?"
The team leader saw the map drawn on the cloth. Every important place in the fortress was marked on it. It was very accurate. If he hadn't been here for half a year, he might not be able to recognize the topography. This is completely the whole situation.
fortress.
It seems that Xiliang has been plotting against the fortress for a long time.
Thinking of the team, he smiled and nodded: "That's right!"
Li Xiang said to the soldiers outside: "Here comes someone to watch them!"
A personal guard came in and looked at a few people, and then brought a large number of prisoners from outside and threw them all into the gate tower.
Li Xiang rode on Xing Liao and landed on the street. The gate at the back had been opened. The sound of the city gate woke up many people in the city, but because of the cold and darkness outside, they didn't know what was happening on the city wall.
Li Xiang took the Xiliang cavalry and ran straight to the enemy's camp. The violent sound of the horses running woke up many people in their sleep. At this time, the Xiliang cavalry entered the center of the street.
With the help of some lanterns on both sides of the road, people looking into the street from the windows saw the black iron cavalry galloping. Moreover, within a month, Xiliang Iron Cavalry had spread throughout the entire Liangzhou land, so when they saw the black iron cavalry, these people immediately
What I thought for a moment was that the Xiliang army was coming to kill me.
Without daring to make a sound, they immediately locked the door of their home, hid all their valuables underground, and took their families to the cellar they had prepared earlier.
Every household in Liangzhou has a cellar. In the cellar, they store a large amount of food and have water, which allows them to live underground for more than two months. Moreover, this cellar is not independent. For families of the same clan, their cellars are connected.
Come together so that when problems arise, everyone can solve them together!
Soon the underground world was lit up, and the young and middle-aged men were all wearing leather armor and preparing for war. If Xiliang occupied the city and carried out massacres, they would rise up to resist. Xiliang still allowed them to maintain their previous living conditions.
They will hide their weapons and continue to be good citizens.
If the Qiang people come, they will bring a knife!
Li Xiang went straight to the military camp. He led the Flying Bear Army, Cheng Jushu, and Cheng Ju each took some soldiers to other places.
There are four military camps in the city. The infantry army went to the military camp where they opened the city gate. Li Xiang went to the military camp near the city lord's palace, which was also the most elite unit of the army in the city.
Hearing the sound, many people in the military camp woke up and were putting on their clothes. In winter, they wore armor to sleep. It was during the war. Except for those soldiers who kept watch and patrolled, they were all lying in bed.
There were a lot of rebel horses outside the military camp. Prime Minister Li and several of his guards used their weapons to fly away the rebel horses. Fang Tianji hit the door of the military camp hard and blasted the door open.
The Flying Bear Army marched straight in, and the soldiers at the city gate were trampled by war horses and turned into pulp.
Prime Minister Li had only one order for the soldiers in the camp. Before daybreak, kill every one you see. As long as the Xiliang soldiers feel unsafe, you can kill them!
Similar problems also occurred in several other places. The soldiers on the other city gates didn't know what happened, but they heard the sound of fighting coming from the city. They guarded the city and did not dare to go inside. Everything was waiting for dawn.
.
The city lord of the Zhiqiang Fortress is Ma Zhenjiang, a branch of the Ma family. Hearing the noise outside, Ma Zhenjiang woke up immediately, put on his armor and was about to go out. He found that there was already a layer of Xiliang cavalry outside, but they did not launch an attack.
He only held a long bow and pointed it at the city lord's mansion.
As long as the people inside make the slightest movement, they will shoot out the long arrows in their hands. Although Ma Zhenjiang is a third-rate little master, facing such a long bow, he feels a strong sense of danger. The city lord
There is still his family in the mansion. If a war really starts, with the firelight he can see now, the four military camps have been attacked by the Xiliang army. There will be no screams in the military camp closest to them.
Stop and pass.
The Xiliang army was massacring the soldiers inside. Snowflakes fell to the ground, and the heavy snow did not stop.
No one could have imagined that Xiliang would launch an attack in the heavy snow.
"Dad, how's it going outside?" A young man trotted on the edge of Zhenjiang. Following the young man was a group of people wearing uniform white clothes with a long sword on their chest. They came from the same sect!
Ma Zhenjiang looked back at his adult son and said with some relief: "The Zhiqiang Fortress is about to fall into the hands of Xiliang. It will be dawn soon. Li Xiang will be here in a moment. You and your sect's masters are here."
Brothers, you must not interfere, you know?"
The young man glanced at the Xiliang soldiers outside, his eyes full of solemnity. These soldiers put a lot of pressure on him. The young people behind the young man also looked solemn. These soldiers put a lot of pressure on them. Compared with the pressure they entered a few days ago,
Which army in the city puts more pressure on them?
Is this the top army? No wonder, when the strong men of the sect ask them to go out, they should not intervene if they can do so!
Ma Zhenjiang smiled and said: "As long as you don't intervene, you will be fine. Li Xiang is different from other families and the Qiang people!"
Boom, boom, boom!
The sound of horse hoofbeats sounded, and Prime Minister Li heard Ma Zhenjiang's words from a distance: "Master Ma, I don't know how different I, Prime Minister Li, am from other families and the Qiang people!"
brush!
The Xiliang soldiers retreated from a road. Li Xiang was filled with murderous intent. The bright red blood solidified on his armor after encountering the snow. However, the armor was red and the blood was red, so it had no effect.
Ma Zhenjiang's face flashed and he said with a smile: "Other families and the Qiang people do not send troops in winter, but Li Qishi chose to send troops in the heavy snow. Isn't the Xiliang army afraid of the cold?"
Li Xiang laughed and came down from Xingliao: "Of course I'm afraid of the cold. I, Li Xiang, am the most afraid of the cold. What's the use of being afraid of the cold? It's still cold when it should be cold. When I was outside the customs, I only had a piece of leather armor.
It can keep warm. In order to keep warm, my soldiers and I hunted the wolves and used their furs to keep warm.
The cold outside the pass is much colder than the cold inside the pass."
Li Xiang made some nonsense and walked to the steps of the City Lord's Mansion: "I don't know, City Lord Ma, do you want to fight, or do you choose to save the whole family?"
Li Xiang pointed to the military camp behind which was full of fire and light: "I can tell you that among the defenders in your city, except for the soldiers on the city wall, there are no soldiers in the military camp. The remaining ones on the eighth floor and above are all dead!
It's not that I, Prime Minister Li, are cruel, but that I am not sure. I don't want to cause losses to my soldiers because I am soft-hearted.
You should also know a truth: being kind to your enemies is cruel to your own people, so I choose them to die and us to live.
Now it’s your turn, Lord Ma, to choose!”
Ma Zhenjiang smiled bitterly: "Chief Li, do I have any choice? I choose to surrender, but I also ask Governor Li to order a stop to the killing. I am willing to go to the military camp to persuade those soldiers!"
"There is no need to go to the military camp. You first ask the soldiers in your palace to put down their weapons, and then organize people to prepare hot water and food for me. It must have meat, you know?
My soldiers haven’t had hot meals for many days!”
Li Xiang walked up the steps step by step as he spoke. Li Xiang's tall body put a lot of pressure on Ma Zhenjiang. The young people behind him also put a lot of pressure on them. Before Li Xiang got close to them, they had a feeling
A creepy feeling!
The Feixiong guards followed behind, and Ma Zhenjiang said to the soldiers behind: "Put down your weapons!"
The soldiers had already surrendered when they saw the city lord, and everyone put down their weapons!
"Shu Sword Sect?" Li Xiang saw the logos on the young men's clothes. Isn't this the sect that Zhuo Bufan belonged to before?
Ma Zhenjiang gave his son a wink and immediately left with his brothers. Li Xiang didn't have many hobbies, but he liked killing people. When he was outside the information gate, Li Xiang was a mass murderer, and countless evil people heard this name.
Everyone feels scared.
"I didn't expect you, Lord Governor, to know the Sword Sect!" The Shu Sword Sect is not very famous, but its strength is not weak. There are two masters in the sect!
Li Xiang withdrew his gaze: "My subordinate Qingxi Grassland, the deputy governor Zhuo Bufan, is a disciple of the Sword Sect. He seems to have reached the late stage of the first-class Sword Sect and is already looking for opportunities to become a sudden master!"
When the disciples of the Sword Sect heard this, they looked at Li Xiang. They all knew how one of the top masters of the Sword Sect could reach the northwest!
Ma Zhenjiang thought about it and said tentatively: "Zhuo Bufan, General Zhuo?"
Zhuo Bufan, upon hearing this name, the disciples of the Sword Sect widened their eyes. Zhuo Bufan was one of the five genius disciples of the last Sword Sect. The elders of the sect asserted that Zhuo Bufan could enter the realm of a master before the age of fifty, but later
After the death of his senior sister and brother, Zhuo Bufan disappeared!
I didn't expect that I would go to the northwest and become the subordinate of the murderous maniac in front of me!
"Yes!" Li Xiang nodded and looked at the disciples of the Sword Sect. Except for a few young people who looked at him with a little fear, unwillingness and stubbornness, the remaining young people immediately changed their gazes.
"We, Xiliang, are short of talents right now. You should come out and gain experience. Are you interested in taking a job in Xiliang? There is a chance that you can get guidance from a strong master!"
There is no one more suitable to be a scout than a warrior. As long as you teach them a little more about Thousand Machines Sect, inquire about information, fight alone, and assassinate, these people will all be good at it!
Ma Zhenjiang said quickly: "Lord Governor, let's go in first!"
The Grand Master is very attractive to warriors. He is afraid that his son will foolishly join Xiliang...
