The Battle of the Valley of the Black Wind ended with a complete victory for Li Youqian, and Viscount Arathi and his troops all disappeared, and their whereabouts are unknown. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time, Balzac, who was attacking the city of Taar, made a decision that was not planned by Lee's money. Viscount Paul was not good at using his troops, and he actually lost the most precious time on the way to the army, and by the time he approached, Balzac had already completed the siege. His arrival is like a naked lure to Balzac to attack! This was the best time to encircle the point and send reinforcements, and Balzac was naturally not accustomed to him, and in one ambush, he threw Viscount Paul's army off his armor and fled.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or fate, Viscount Paul led the remnants not to go straight to Surabaya City, but to the Valley of the Black Wind, hoping to find Arashi to help him win a game, but he didn't expect it...... was directly surrounded by Li Youqian tens of thousands of ashigaru.

"Paul, long time no see, don't come unharmed." Li Youqian stood in the middle of the two armies, as the so-called artist is bold, he doesn't care if Paul dares to wave his army to kill him. One, Paul didn't have the guts; Second, Paul's soldiers didn't have that ability, and Li Youqian stood there alone, even more domineering than Paul's thousands of soldiers, and his arrogance soared into the sky.

Viscount Paul looked at Li Youqian with a smile, and naturally knelt down on one knee, "Your Highness, is it Your Highness." For a moment, Paul burst into tears, and his heartfelt heart for Teddy was unquestionable.

"Paul, I don't want to lie to you, my body is the son of Teddy and Elizabeth, and my soul is the reincarnation of Emperor Li Youqian. Will you continue to follow me? "Everyone knows that Li is rich, and there is no need to hide it.

"The minister is willing, even if it's a pawn. It's been 20 years, I've lost you for 20 years......" Teddy's ability in finance is undoubted, but politics and military, he really doesn't like it, and if he can, he really hopes to be a good chancellor of the exchequer, even if it's a clerk.

"Good! You are welcome back. Li Youqian stepped forward quickly and helped Paul with tears streaming down his face.

Li had the money to organize his armaments, took advantage of the victory to pursue, and annexed the territory of Viscount Arashi. Of the ten cities in Shangwu County, six of them have been obtained, Li Youqian and Balzac marched westward, aiming at the remaining four cities, fighting or surrendering, there are only two options.

Less than half a year after Li Youqian started his army, the whole county of Shangwu County fell into the hands of Li Youqian. Create a cabinet, recruit new troops, reform the political system, prepare for a new war.

The nobles of Surabaya City were killed and wounded. Li Youqian simply practiced private ownership of land, and Li Youqian's government recognized private ownership of land and allowed free buying and selling, although it still had to pay a large amount of taxes, but the rest belonged to himself.

Slavery was abolished, the government set up a special construction team, and the poor people from slavery could apply for housing, and the finances required for construction could be paid off in installments of 20 years.

Unified armament, Li Youqian has three upgrade trees, the Nord Kingdom, the Swadia Kingdom, and the Samurai. All the men were soldiers, and all the men were forced to turn into ashigaru, and they were usually engaged in hard labor, but in wartime they became foot soldiers. After normal work, they were trained in bows, arrows, crossbows, and spears. The ashigaru were always ready to fight, and while they were working in the fields, their spears were stuck in the road next to them, and they wore straw sandals. A conscription order to get them off the farmland to fight when danger strikes. For many, the excitement of fighting, the prospect of promotion, and the opportunity to get away from the tedium of farming for a while are very attractive. For the people in their spare time, and to die in battle, they can form troops at any time and go to the battlefield with an order. If you are lucky enough to be promoted to the intermediate level, you can even completely ask for the status of a farmer and become a professional soldier!

The mid-level soldiers began to divide, forty into Nord infantry, forty into samurai, and two into Swadia cavalry. Because of Li's rich bloodline, soldiers can even be upgraded to the Nord Royal Guard, which is the best in the world in foot combat, and the invincible Swadia Royal Knights in the world on horseback, and finally even to the top class of the Red Guard, which is one level higher than the two!

Li Youqian's main force is Ashigaru, and the former Ashigaru is a consumable, recruited when needed, and recruited when he dies. But Li Youqian scoffed at this, survival and promotion are king. Unify and build well-crafted equipment, and call it the Imperial Loan Sufficient (meaning borrowed armor). Weapons were also improved from spears or bows and arrows from the past. With the exception of specialized bow and arrow units, all ashigaru must learn to use a crossbow, even if they can only shoot once. At the same time, it strengthened the engineering capabilities of Ashigaru, and Ashigaru was required to carry construction tools such as pickaxes and belts with them. The most famous of these is the pickaxe, which consists of a wooden handle and a vertical and horizontal metal blade, so that it can be cut longitudinally or horizontally. Therefore, such an inconspicuous thing can make Ashigaru dig trenches, chop wood, and chisel city walls. This also led to the most famous positional warfare, in which defenses were constantly being built, compressing the enemy's line and forcing the enemy to attack. Not only that, but this tool can also be used as a weapon in critical moments, and when facing heavy infantry with a thick spike, the thick spiky mouth can throw away the enemy's heavy armor like a can. It is a must-have product for home travel and killing.

In addition to the pickaxe, another type of equipment is indispensable, and that is the rack saw, which consists of a square wooden frame and saw blades, and we often see two carpenters pulling the rack saw back and forth to cut the original trees to make wood, and the Ashigaru engineers brought this weapon to the battlefield. This is a type of equipment that can be large or small, and the ashigaru uses small frame saws that can be operated by hand to cut wood, and large frame saws driven by water conservancy machinery to cut stone. Therefore, the towns and cities where the ashigaru went must build roads to facilitate the transportation and supply of soldiers! The farthest place in Sangmu County will be reached in 10 days! This has a strong guarantee for the entire battle situation!

Here, Shangwu County is full of soldiers; On the other hand, Svadia occupies the best land in Calradia, and the old grudge has not been settled for twenty years. After the Great War twenty years ago, William officially ascended the throne and became William IV, in addition to the hardcore allies of the Kingdom of Vegia and the awkward relationship of the Nord Kingdom, the Kingdom of Rhodok, the Khanate of Kugit, and the Sultanate of Saland all launched aggression against Svadia one after another, adding fuel to the fire of barren Svadia and wanting a piece of the pie.

The young William inherited the rich bushido of the emperor Li You, and would rather die than give in! The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies! The unprecedented unity of the whole country of Swadia, the unity of the people, the courage of the whole people, the courage of the whole people, and the blood of every inch of mountains and rivers have resisted the offensive of the three countries, and even counterattacked in some areas.

Svadia did not pose any harm to Lee's wealthy emerging forces, and within Nord, King Ragnar naturally would not attack his grandson, Paul surrendered, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer would not find Li Youqian's displeasure. The only one who was dissatisfied was Arathi's father, Raphael.

Ragnar knew the pain of losing a son better than anyone, so when Raphael came to him, he didn't stop him.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to lead my troops to eradicate the rebels!" Raphael couldn't stop the tears in his eyes.

"Raphael......" Ragnar didn't know how to consol him.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to gamble on my territory and position. If I win, I'll keep him alive, if I lose...... I am willing to give him everything I have. Raphael's eyes were resolute, "Life is too long?, our friendship, let's stop here......"

The situation on the mainland is changing, and a new war about Li Youqian is coming soon.
