Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

Even when they turn to exploit them internally,

These tribes will inevitably develop disloyal intentions.

At the same time, they witnessed the strength of the Ming army.

Go back and recount the myth of the Ming army's invincibility.

The might of the Ming army will spread throughout the Western Regions.

In the next few years

It is unknown how many tribes existed within the Western Xia state.

They would secretly send someone to Lanzhou to contact the Governor-General of the Hehuang region.

After killing the prisoners,

Yang Zhi immediately led his troops back.

He needed to rush to meet Richard.

They also took along the Tangut prisoners, of whom only three thousand remained after the massacre.

Only one thousand infantry and five hundred cavalry remained.

They were responsible for supervising the disposal of corpses of prisoners of various ethnicities.

More than two thousand Han Chinese prisoners of war,

Weapons and armor were redistributed.

They learned that they would not die.

Moreover, land can be allocated for cultivation.

I was still somewhat skeptical at first,

Once they received the armor and weapons, their concerns were immediately dispelled.

These Han Chinese became very proactive.

They automatically became supervisors for the Ming army.

He directed prisoners of war from various ethnic groups to collect the corpses.

The bodies in the river must be retrieved.

The entire valley relies on the Karo River for its water supply.

Leaving aside the spread of diseases and plagues,

Only when drinking water,

Considering the countless corpses in the upstream river,

That would disgust the Ming soldiers to no end.

"Once you've dealt with the body, you can go home,"

"Don't even think about running away, and don't even think about slacking off!"

The five hundred cavalrymen were divided into five groups.

Running back and forth along the valley.

More than two thousand Han Chinese prisoners of war were given weapons and armor.

They also started to swagger and act arrogantly.

He commanded prisoners of various ethnicities to do this and that.

The Qiang, Tibetan, and Uyghur people were engrossed in their work.

I really hadn't thought about running away.

Because the Ming cavalry were repeatedly shouting.

“You shall return to your respective tribes,”

“We must tell the clansmen,”

"The emperors of the Ming Dynasty in China were surnamed Zhao."

"From now on, this world belongs to the Zhao family."

"Emperor Zhao treated all ethnic groups equally."

"As long as you behave yourself, we won't discriminate against you."

“Go back and tell your chief,”

"If one cannot endure the oppression of the Tanguts,"

"They secretly sent people to Lanzhou,"

"Contact the Governor-General of the Hehuang region there..."

Han Chinese prisoners who could speak various ethnic languages,

I was temporarily chosen to be a translator.

They ran back and forth alongside the Ming cavalry.

Exhausted and sticking out his tongue, yet inexplicably excited.

My ears were filled with repetitive, rambling talk.

Repeating and repeating.

The prisoners of various ethnicities were even less afraid.

If the Han soldiers wanted to kill them afterwards

Why waste so much breath saying so much?

.....

Li Yanxian is not a deity.

Leading more than three thousand cavalry,

It didn't delay Richard for long.

Because the disparity in strength between the two sides was simply too great.

Moreover, Yang Zhi told him not to take any risks.

Preserving the cavalry at hand is the top priority.

When Yang Zhi fought Li Renyi,

Richard's vanguard has approached Dingxibao (and the Southern Army Command).

When Yang Zhi led his troops back,

Richard's main force has also arrived.

Chapter 1730 Luring the Enemy

Looking at the castle with its new flag,

Richard remained expressionless.

They sent someone across the river to shout a message outside the city.

The one who shouted was a Han Chinese soldier.

Although I was terrified,

But I still forced myself to say it.

"Listen up, Han soldiers inside!"

"Surrender immediately and you will be spared death."

"The garrison commander can still serve as an official in the Great Xia Kingdom!"

Shoot him dead!

Gong Xiu, who was in charge of staying behind, was too lazy to say anything.

More than ten arrows were shot down.

The messenger soldier, wearing only light armor,

He was instantly riddled with arrows, resembling a hedgehog.

He lay on the ground, utterly dead.

Flags were planted everywhere in both the mother and daughter cities.

Even the newly surrendered Han people,

They all took up arms to defend the city.

Moreover, they don't keep any reserves.

They all stood on the city wall at once.

The dense crowd truly reflects the large number of people.

To prevent Richard from guessing that the main force of the Ming army was not present.

After what seemed like an observation, Richard...

For a moment, they indeed dared not launch a full-scale attack.

They set up camp and waited for Li Renyi to come from the north.

By then, the two Western Xia armies would have joined forces.

130,000 troops attacked from both the north and south.

It was enough to crush the city's defenders to pieces.

As for Li Renyi's defeat and escape?

Are you kidding?

That's an army of over 60,000.

Even if it's more than 60,000 pigs,

The Ming army could not capture them all in a short period of time.

Of course, Richard wasn't just waiting idly.

He sent men to climb mountains, cut down trees, and make siege weapons.

Although the valley is surrounded by mountains on both sides,

But there were far more shrubs than large trees.

Unable to quickly collect wood to make tools.

Once he has finished building the siege equipment,

It's probably been twenty days already.

Richard, don't worry.

Anyway, it will take time for friendly forces to arrive on the battlefield.

Before allied forces arrived, Yang Zhi returned.

The Western Xia soldiers in charge of reconnaissance,

Upon seeing a large army appear in the north,

Overjoyed, he immediately returned to camp to report the news.

Meanwhile, people remained in place to continue observing the situation.

Richard received the news quickly.

He personally rode over to check it out.
