While the Prophet was pouring out his displeasure and anger at the fish, military operations against the Raider were unfolding.

The first to go to war was the Dragonling.

Tens of thousands of lord troops were still unhurried, pushing siege equipment and slowly marching forward, gathering outside the dragon territory. The Qianghu cavalry that emerged from the lower reaches of the Emperor's water did not have such good patience.

Qianghu took the risk of sending troops, and the Avengers commission was secondary, and what really attracted them was the loot. The alliance said very clearly, their purpose is to sweep away the dragon territory, they are not interested in the loot, if Qianghu can break through Hu City, all the goods in Hu City are Qianghu trophies, and the alliance will never touch it.

Although the port has not been opened for a long time, the scale of transactions has already caught up with the Shanggu Hu City, which has been in operation for several years.

The reason for this phenomenon is not the late-mover advantage, but the difference in the shareholder structure between the two cities.

When Shanggu Hu City was created, not many merchants dared to invest, and Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou, had to take the lead. When Hu City is put into operation, the profits are beyond imagination, and the Hu people have become staunch supporters and defenders of Hu City because of the real benefits they have received from Hu City, and the security concerns that the outside world is most worried about will disappear invisibly. If other merchants want to follow up, it will be too late, and they will not be able to share many dividends, so they will naturally not have much motivation.

The city of Shanggunhu is completely different.

From the beginning of the preparatory stage, Shangjunhu City has adhered to the business philosophy of eclecticism and inclusiveness. Yu Buzhi and Zhu Jun occupy the majority, but also welcome the strength of the business station, and reserve a considerable market share, seems to thin the interests of the major shareholders, but successfully Hu City and many powerful businesses to achieve deep binding, everyone has become a grasshopper in a boat, one is prosperous, one is lost, the business is willing to invest in Hu City, together to make Hu City bigger and stronger. In this way, the rapid development of Shangjunhu City is reasonable.

The development momentum of Hu City is gratifying, and the wealth in it is enough to make any princely power jealous.

The princes are still like this, and for those Qianghu tribes who have always been bitter, the attraction is even more amazing.

The legend of the dragon collar is still sung in the Hetao, and to this day, there are still countless Qianghu people who have heard that the dragon collar has changed, but there are too many hoarded goods in Shangjun Hu City, which is a number that many Qianghu tribes dare not dream of, and there are still some tribes who dare to take risks for this wealth. And the Qianghu people also have a misunderstanding, that is, they are attacking Hu City, not the dragon leader, since those players who hire them will also take action, I believe that the dragon leader should be too busy to take care of himself, under the premise that Zhu Jun has withdrawn from the county army in the early stage, Hu City's defense force will be extremely weak, and all the Qianghu warriors have to do is to rush in and move things happily......

With the level of strategy of the Qianghu tribe, it is difficult to expect them to seriously think about the following two questions.

1. After the withdrawal of the Shangjun Army, will Long Ling strengthen the defense force of Hu City?

2. If it is so easy to rob Hu City, and there is an insane amount of goods in it, why did the Avengers still spend money to hire them to send troops instead of swallowing this piece of fat themselves?

The Qianghu tribe, lacking the ability to make rational judgments, defined the operation as a low-risk ransack. In their opinion, the real risk is not the operation itself, but whether they will be retaliated against by the dragon leader afterwards, after all, they are not stupid enough to think that the employer will definitely break the dragon leader.

Man dies for money, and birds die for food.

Done!

After succeeding, he led the tribe to migrate further north, far away from the dragon territory......

As a result, more than 10,000 Qiang Hu cavalry rushed to Hu City happily with full passion.

In the imagination of the Qianghu cavalry, there will definitely not be many troops in Hu City, and they may have run out sooner. However, they were greeted by a battalion of 4,000 rocks, and thousands of joint defense teams.

The 4,000 Panshi Battalion means that almost all of the descendants of the Hetao area are stationed in Hu City, and the special territory Dragon Leader is guarded by 3,000 Bloody Leader Troops.

The so-called joint defense team is from the merchants of Hu City, which is the idea put forward by Su San in the preparatory stage of Hu City, that is, Hu City belongs to everyone, everyone has the responsibility of defending Hu City, and defending Hu City is to defend their own property. There are hundreds of merchants in Hu City, the scale is large and small, but in the troubled times, the merchants are also paying more and more attention to the security force, the small merchants are mostly escorted, and the big merchants even have a private army, and it is not difficult to produce more than 20 strong men per family on average.

What should everyone do in normal times, when there is something in Hu City, draw guards from various businesses to solve it.

This is where the joint defense team comes from.

The combat effectiveness of the joint defense force is far from that of the regular army, but it is generally trained in technical combat, and many of them have even served in the army. In order to improve the combat capability of the joint defense team, Su Sanda reported, Yu Buzhi signed the approval, Mo Wei regularly went to Hu City to conduct free technical training for the joint defense team...... Speaking responsibly, we do not expect the joint defense team to burst into combat strength when encountering an incident, at least it will not be too cowardly, and the role of strengthening the momentum is still there.

After discovering the enemy's situation, Hu Shi immediately activated the emergency plan, and the joint defense team was convened.

But the opponents of the Qianghu cavalry were not only the Panshi battalion and the joint defense team.

Hu City is built according to the original water of the emperor, on the river beach outside the wooden fence of Hu City, Longling sent people to plant a large melon field, but it is rare to see Longling picking melons back, and round watermelons can be seen everywhere on the river beach. The settled merchants and Hu merchants didn't care before, thinking that the Longling people were idle, and some people occasionally went in to pick a few melons to quench their thirst, and the Longling people didn't care much, as if those melons were not grown by themselves. Fortunately, those who can do business in Hu City have to be faceless, and they are not short of a few melons, and they don't want to be noticed by the dragon leader because of this, so their behavior is very restrained.

A large number of melons have been preserved.

The Qianghu cavalry came along the emperor's original water, and inevitably passed through the melon fields.

The melon fields of the melon have shown an unknown side.

Seeing the watermelons that seemed to wake up from a deep slumber and rolled around automatically to catapult and hurt people, the joint defense team members were stunned. The watermelon was shattered, and the round melon soldiers babbled on the stage, bathed in the morning sun, and the heroic posture of collectively waving knives and dancing shields to roll forward was even more blind to the kryptonite eyes of countless spectators.

The Qiang-Hu cavalry advanced to Hushi with difficulty under the resistance of the melon soldiers.

Plateau.

The Qiang attack was also unusually resolute.

Clear-eyed people know that what he did by brazenly tearing up the Hanqiang agreement was not the so-called "dignity of the Qiang people", but for himself to establish an advantage in the battle for the throne of the Qiang king. Nothing boosts prestige more than provoking ethnic rivalries, and once an enclave is successfully taken, it will be difficult to shake the advantage of oblivion. Because of this, Ruolin Qiang's elite was exhausted, and several other tribes who supported the Qiang Forgotten gathered a coalition of more than 20,000 Qiang people.

Even if the enclave garrison and the Qinggu people were all in battle, the strength of the defenders would be less than one-fifth of the Qiang.

Outnumbered.

The enclave is a town-level stronghold, small and only has a wooden fence.

But a small base also has small benefits.

After this period of construction, the enclave has unique advantages that other strongholds do not have.

The periphery of the enclave has long become a formation test field for the apprentices of the Yin and Yang family.

The enclave, which was obviously unsafe to defend, was smashed into a small fortress by Xun Yuan and others.

The vanguard of the Qiang people strayed into the formation, and was disgraced by fierce fire, hidden arrows, traps, and ground thorns, although the loss was less than 100 people, but the attack methods of various strange and evil sects were invincible, and they were hit on the head.
