The leader of the Holy Land of the Northwest White Lotus Sect bid farewell to Zhao Wuyan in tears. As soon as he returned to the White Lotus Sect's station in the town, a scout hurried outside.
Seeing the hall master, the scout ran to the hall master and knelt down with tears in his eyes: "Hall master, the holy land is gone!"
The hall leader blinked and calmed down: "What happened? The holy land is gone!"
The scout said with a cry: "Master, not long after you left, Li Xiang from the Xiliang camp came with his army from Xuanshui Lake and attacked the Holy Land. The Holy Envoy led many adults to besiege Li Xiang. Except for the Holy Envoy, others
Everyone died tragically in the hands of Li Xiang, and after a night of fighting, the Holy Land fell into the hands of the Xiliang camp!"
Cry!
The sword in the master's hand of the White Lotus Church fell to the ground, and he grabbed the scout's shoulders with both hands: "Didn't the Xiliang Camp just end the battle with Black Tiger City? Why did they suddenly kill the Holy Land!"
"But they have just reached the Holy Land!" A faint female voice came, and the woman in white walked to the station.
The hall leader saw the woman in white standing up: "Please give me the Holy Envoy's clear words!"
"The Xiliang camp has occupied Xuanshui Lake. They can use Xuanshui Lake to reach Black Tiger City. Naturally, they can also use Xuanshui Lake to reach our Holy Land!" The woman in white said lightly: "Because of Xuanshui Lake, we focus on
We focused on the land, but we forgot about the waterway. There must be a powerful navy in the Xiliang camp, otherwise it would not be easy for thousands of troops to cross the lake!"
As she spoke, the woman in white said to the hall master: "Is there a darkroom? I have something to tell you!"
The hall leader nodded with his eyes blankly, and led the holy envoy towards the dark room in the station. He still couldn't accept the news that the Holy Land was gone. The White Lotus Holy Land was a city he had built over many years.
The White Lotus Sect was in the wilderness many years ago. They were defeated in the battle and ran to Xuanshui Lake. When he took over the White Lotus Sect outside the Northwest Pass, the White Lotus Sect was at its weakest. He led his followers to build cities and connect them with surrounding areas.
In a fierce battle of strength, the Holy Land of the White Lotus Sect was built up bit by bit with blood and sweat.
The Northwest White Lotus Sect has gradually become stronger in his hands, but now...
After the battle of the White Lotus Sect, Li Xiang immediately drove all the White Lotus Sect members and prisoners in the city to Qingzhu Village. The Holy Land of the White Lotus Sect, no, from today onwards this place is called Nanli City, it can also be called Nanli City.
City of Fire.
This city will be guarded by Li Huo, and Black Tiger City in the north will also be renamed Beixuan City. Xuanshui Village is too small, so Black Tiger City will be renamed Mingbeixuan City.
With one south and one north, one water and one fire guarding the north and south gates of Xiliang, and with the Xiliang Navy in the middle, Prime Minister Li can expand and develop externally without any worries.
There is so much food in the White Lotus Sect that when Li Xiang saw the granary, he seemed to see thousands of cavalry in front of him.
The surrounding areas of the White Lotus Sect have not been cleaned up yet. Li Xiang is temporarily guarding Nanli City, waiting for Li Huo to arrive from Beixuan City and Zhang Qingyun in Beixuan City to return to Qingzhu Village.
The members of the White Lotus Sect were thrown into Qingzhu Village. If these people are not managed well, the entire Qingzhu Village may become the territory of the White Lotus Sect.
In addition to the congregation, there were nearly a thousand soldiers who were all thrown into Xiliang City. These people would become road construction workers in Xiliang City just like the previous people.
It's not like Li Xiang did nothing to guard Nanli City. The White Lotus Sect chose to build the city here for a reason. The White Lotus Sect's iron mines are not very far from the city, only two hours' journey away.
Li Xiang led his people to rush to the iron ore area, and captured the iron ore area without a single blow. Many masters in the Holy Land failed to defend the Holy Land. There were only two hundred defenders in the iron mine. What could they do with the Xiliang Tiger Army?
In the fight, the other side also has the terrifying Tu Li Xiang.
Li Xiang already had a nickname outside the Northwest Pass, "Human Massacre". There were many powerful generals on the battlefield, but no one outside the Northwest Pass had seen as many people killed as Li Xiang.
That strange weapon is like a message from the King of Hell, telling you to die whenever you want.
It took three days. When Li Huo arrived, Li Xiang had already removed the surrounding White Lotus Sect strongholds one by one. During this period, some people wanted to resist, but were easily defeated by Li Xiang, and the entire stronghold was massacred.
Li Xiang wanted to let the people of the White Lotus Sect know that those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.
Li Huo was left with 1,000 spearmen, 500 swordsmen and 200 archers, and Li Xiang led the remaining troops back to Xiliang City.
The strength of the troops in Beixuan City was the same, one thousand spearmen, five hundred swordsmen, and two hundred archers. The silver in Li Xiang's hand was spent like running water.
A swordsman requires ten taels of silver and one hundred units of food. The number of swordsmen in Xiliang City reaches 2,000. This does not include the soldiers who died in the previous battle. The swordsmen alone cost nearly 30,000 taels of silver. There are also
Archer.
The number of archers is not large, but the number reaches 1,500. One thousand of them were recruited last time. This time, only 500 were recruited, and the cost was not much.
Spearmen are currently the largest force in Xiliang City, with three thousand spearmen.
Three thousand spearmen, two thousand swordsmen, fifteen hundred archers, one thousand militiamen, and five hundred naval troops.
The troops in Xiliang City had unknowingly reached 8,000 people. Before the battle with Black Tiger City, the number of troops was only about 5,000. After the battle, the number of troops had reached 8,000.
The number of farmers (construction workers, lumberjacks, etc. are all included in the farmers) has also reached 5,000. These 5,000 people support an army of 8,000 people. Why did Li Xiang feel uncomfortable seeing this?
There is no shortage of food for the time being. The food stored in Nanli City and Beixuan City is enough to feed 100,000 people for a year.
The leader of the White Lotus Church and Hei Hu had been saving money for many years, but they didn't expect it to be a dowry. Li Xiang accepted their people, so naturally he had to collect something.
The two cities had very little gold and silver, only ten thousand taels of silver in total, but they had a lot of natural resources and treasures, so they were all moved to Xiliang City.
Paper cannot cover fire!
The news that the Holy Land of the White Lotus Sect was captured by Xiliang City spread throughout the town when Li Xiang left Nanli City.
In one month, two first-rate forces outside the Northwest Pass were defeated by a newly established force!
All the major forces outside the Northwest Pass feel the smell of bloodshed!
In the past, there were Black Tiger City and White Lotus Sect in Xuanshui Lake, but now there is only one strength left around Xuanshui Lake, Xiliang City!
The first-rate forces in the Southern Wilderness and Northern Wilderness are under some pressure. The area of Xuanshui Lake is much smaller than that of the Southern Wilderness. It is one-third of the Northern Wilderness and one-quarter of the Southern Wilderness, with more than half of it.
water land.
In the past, the northern and southern wilderness had nothing to do with Xuanshui Lake. Although they were greedy for the natural resources and treasures around Xuanshui Lake, they occupied enough. Anyone who ate alone would die miserably, and Black Tiger City and White Lotus Sect were not good.
provoke.
But now there is only one force left in Xuanshui Lake...
