Chapter 104: The Barbarians Go South
After Lu Chen entertained Xuanyuan Chen and Wen Renlie and other generals in the palace, he asked them about some things about the remnants of Dayu.
When the war ended, Lu Chen planned to move all the remnants of Dayu to Beijun, the construction of which needed a large population.
The current population of North County alone is not enough to support his plan to build North County.
Although there are only 500,000 remnants of Dayu, after these 500,000 people moved into Beijun, it was a huge supplement to the population of Beijun.
The northern county is vast and sparsely populated, and a lot of wasteland is still empty, let alone resettle 500,000 people, even if it adds another 3 million, there is no problem.
At the reception banquet, listening to the discussion between Lu Chen and several generals of the black cavalry, Mu Changtian and the others finally understood why he didn't know that Lu Chen was training such a huge cavalry.
It turned out that these black cavalry were not in the North County at all, but in the farther north of the country, and even that place had a population of 500,000 people.
There are barbarians in the Northland, and the armies of Great Xia rarely enter the Northland, so few people know that there are still 500,000 remnants of Dayu in the Northland.
Mu Changtian and the others had to admire Lu Chen, Lu Chen not only found the 500,000 remnants of Dayu, but also subdued the 50,000 black cavalry.
Sure enough, Lu Chen was blessed by the gods, and the refuge of the remnants of Dayu made Mu Changtian and others firmly believe that Lu Chen was the son of destiny.
Now that Mu Changtian, these generals and soldiers who are not summoned by the system, have basically reached 100 loyalty to Lu Chen, and the strength and ambition shown by the North King have indeed made them see the possibility of dominating the world, and they believe that with the North King, they will one day become the ministers of the dragon.
After the reception banquet, Lu Chen immediately took the generals to his study, and then began to lay out the war with the barbarians.
……
A few days later.
North County, Skylight City.
A huge cavalry surrounded Tianguang City, and Xiao Hongbo, who was riding on horseback, was full of spirits, he looked at the dilapidated city in front of him and said, "Beijun, this king is here!" ”
"From now on, the northern county will be the land of this king!"
If you look at it from Tianguang City at this time, there are dense cavalry not far away, as far as the eye can see.
But it's a pity that there is no one in Skylight City now, and no one can see this magnificent scene.
Skylight City is the closest city to the Northland in the Northern County, so this is the first city that the barbarians will attack.
At present, Xiao Hongbo's 300,000 army has not been divided, and all of them are outside Tianguang City.
Xiao Hongbo didn't think that Tianguang City would be able to block the barbarian iron cavalry, he said directly to the soldiers beside him: "Immediately shout to the Great Xia defenders of Tianguang City, as long as they surrender, the North King will not only not kill them, but also let them join the army of this king, and share the glory and wealth with this king in the future!" ”
Before sending troops, Yelu Nanyan told Xiao Hongbo not to always think about killing people when sending troops this time, but to try to make the people in the north less afraid of barbarians.
The country they want to establish in the future, it is difficult to establish without the people of Daxia, the barbarians have always been nomads on the grassland, and they have no experience in building a country, and the people of Daxia in Beijun are very important to the barbarians, so they cannot excessively intensify the contradictions between the common people of Daxia and the barbarians.
Of course, if the defenders of the northern county want to resist to the end, it should be bloody suppression.
At this time, the barbarian soldiers rode to the bottom of Tianguang City and shouted directly at Tianguang City, telling the defenders in the city to go out of the city and surrender.
However, the soldiers shouted vigorously for a long time, but they did not get a reply from the defenders in Tianguang City, and they didn't even see the soldiers of Tianguang City coming up.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Hongbo couldn't help but think, could it be that the soldiers of Tianguang City planned to wait for their army to approach, and then suddenly appeared to attack them?
In the past, when the barbarian soldiers went south to grab food and women, the defenders of Great Xia liked to do this, pretending that there was no one in the city, and when the barbarian soldiers approached, they would shoot arrows frantically, which often caught the barbarian soldiers off guard.
Xiao Hongbo then sent a few shouting soldiers to shout under Tianguang City, and this time the shouting soldiers were closer to Tianguang City, less than twenty meters away from the gate of Tianguang City.
However, there was still no reply, and Skylight City really looked like there were no defenders.
Xiao Hongbo frowned.
He didn't think that the Great Xia people had directly abandoned Tianguang City, in his opinion, the soldiers of Tianguang City were hiding, just waiting for the barbarian army to approach, and then suddenly launched an attack on them.
Thinking of this, Xiao Hongbo couldn't help but be extremely angry.
These Daxia people are really toasting and don't eat and drink!
Since they had to defend the city and refused to leave the city to surrender, the only way to meet them was death.
Immediately, Xiao Hongbo picked up the huge axe and said to Tianguang City: "Attack!" ”
The next moment, more than a dozen soldiers with horns blew their horns, and the sound of horns echoed throughout the steppe.
After a while, the soldiers in charge of the siege smashed open the gate of Skylight City with siege vehicles, and in order to occupy the northern county, this time the Sky Wolf King tribe made sufficient preparations.
Not only did they bring 300,000 cavalry, but they also had the siege equipment ready.
This time it is not to rob food and women, but to attack the city and seize the land, so the siege equipment must be there.
Seeing that the barbarian soldiers easily broke through the gate of Tianguang City, Xiao Hongbo was extremely confused, and even the attacking barbarian soldiers were stunned.
The ordinary city gate, the siege vehicle can't be opened at all without hitting it dozens of times, but the gate of Tianguang City actually crashed open in an instant.
How is this possible?
Could it be that the soldiers of Bright City plan to wait for the barbarian cavalry to enter the city and then fight them to the death?
Thinking of this possibility, the barbarian soldiers cautiously rushed directly into Skylight City.
Xiao Hongbo rode a horse and stood in the middle of the army, quietly waiting for the news of Tianguang City to come.
After a while, Xiao Pengtian rode out of Tianguang City and came directly in front of Xiao Hongbo.
"King! There is no one left in Skylight City! ”
"Not only are there no defenders of Great Xia, but even the common people of Great Xia haven't found any of them."
Hearing this, Xiao Hongbo was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed and said: "Hahaha, this king understands, it must be that yellow-mouthed child from the king of Beiwang heard that this king is coming, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly fled from Beijun, and took the people away with him!" ”
Xiao Pengtian reminded at this time: "King, the princess asked us to capture as many people as possible in the capture of Beijun this time, if the people of Daxia run away, we will have no coolies to work for us after the founding of the country." ”
Hearing Xiao Pengtian say this, the smile on Xiao Hongbo's face instantly froze, how could he forget about this matter.
Then Xiao Hongbo said: "Xiao Pengtian, you immediately take 100,000 soldiers to Qucheng in Beijun, and Mantie, you immediately take 50,000 soldiers to the deserted city." ”
Xiao Pengtian and another barbarian general immediately said, "Yes, King! ”
Soon, the barbarians divided into three routes and continued to advance south.
However, they soon discovered that as they continued southward, they did not see any Bactrian defenders in the northern county, and they saw almost no civilians.
Even if they caught some ordinary people, they were some old and sick people who were unwilling to leave North County.
This made Xiao Hongbo very unhappy, he went south to attack Beijun this time, not only the land of Beijun, but also the people of Beijun.
As a result, all the common people ran away, and even if they occupied the North County, they didn't know how to run the entire North County.
