The empress was distracted.
Ren Baqian gave himself a thumbs up.
Li Qianqiu looked at the huge explosion in the distance and suddenly thought of something. He dove into the darkness in a flash, stirred up all the blood in his body, and shouted, "Assemble at the north gate!"
After he finished shouting, he used his hand to press down on the tent protruding from his waist and abdomen before strolling out as if nothing had happened.
Ren Baqian suddenly remembered that the most important thing hadn't been done yet. He asked the guards to move his mortars and artillery shells over. This time, he had to finish this battle in one fell swoop.
Although Li Qianqiu was a Spirit Wheel expert, he rarely fought with others because the martial arts he practiced had a huge flaw. When he exerted force, his entire body would be congested with blood.
As a result, Li Qianqiu had a nickname in private, which was Immortal Spear.
Although his weapon of choice was a double-sided giant axe, his nickname was Immortal Spear. From this, one could see his style. Among the five protectorates, he was definitely outstanding!
In less than five minutes, all the winged cavalry warriors arrived at the north gate. The previous explosion had already awakened them, and they thought that something had happened. All of them carried their weapons and went straight to the north gate upon hearing the shouts.
Li Qianqiu got someone to open the gate and said in a deep voice, "Great Xia's commander, Wu Shenghou, is dead, and the barracks are in chaos. Charge!"
"Charge! We will not return without victory! "the empress said faintly as she looked at the chaotic Great Xia barracks in the distance.
1,100 winged cavalry warriors rushed madly toward the Great Xia barracks.
After another five minutes, the other 3,000 soldiers from the Protectorate of the Center arrived. Li Qianqiu jumped down from the city wall, landed in front of everyone, and said, "Great Xia's commander, Wu Shenghou, is dead, and the winged cavalry has set off. All generals will lead the barracks to attack the main barracks first, then turn around and defeat the reinforcements from the left and right barracks.
Although they had been in a daze for some time, the other two barracks of Great Xia were even slower to react.
Those soldiers hadn't even reached the Man Wheel level, so it would take longer for them to reinforce the northern barracks. The time difference was enough for the 3,000 soldiers to attack first before turning back to face the attack.
At this time, the sky wasn't bright yet, and Great Xia didn't have time to prepare and couldn't get into formation in a short period of time. If both sides met, the powerful strength of the aboriginals could be fully unleashed.
Moreover, with the emergency reinforcements and the dark sky, more than half of the enemy's archers had been crippled.
Under such circumstances, it wasn't difficult for 3,000 soldiers to defeat 20,000 to 30,000 Great Xia soldiers.
"Yes!" The generals in the army replied and led the three thousand soldiers out of the city.
"Sir, what are we going to do?" A few burly Ancient race men wearing leather armor asked.
These people were the leaders of the newly established militia in Liao City. The strongest among them had already attained the Earth Wheel level.
"Get ready to snatch the food!" Ren Baqian was the first to speak.
Currently, there weren't many rations left in the city, and a batch of Great Xia's rations had just arrived. In a while, after they defeated the Great Xia army, they could snatch the rations back.
As for defending the city, there was no need.
There were a total of 40,000 soldiers in the east and west barracks of Great Xia's army. Their main task was to reinforce the north barracks, and it would already be considered pretty good if they could leave 5,000 soldiers to defend their barracks. They simply wouldn't have the energy to attack the city.
Even if they didn't care about the survival of the north barracks and directly attacked the city, the aboriginal commoners in the city would be enough to take a bite out of them. When the main army returned, they would be like turtles in a jar.
"Yes, Sir!" The leaders of the militia immediately responded.
"Let's go out of the city too!" Ren Baqian called out to the guards beside him. Everyone rode on the fork-horned cows and headed out of the city. As soon as they left the city, a few people were sent out with night vision devices and walkie-talkies to check the location of the reinforcements from the other two barracks.
On the other hand, Ren Baqian found a place to set up the mortars.
In the distance, the sounds of fighting could already be heard from the Great Xia barracks. Originally, that explosion had already wiped out all the generals in the north barracks, leaving only a few captains.
Colonels, on the other hand, were usually battalion level commanding officers, commanding 800 to 1200 people.
Regardless of whether it was in terms of strength or prestige, the captains in the barracks weren't able to calm the chaos in the barracks in a short period of time. Needless to say, they were already out of their wits.
Then, 1,100 Earth Wheel level winged cavalry warriors rushed in and killed anyone they saw.
The outcome of an ordinary person facing an Earth Wheel expert was imaginable. Even after defending the city for such a long time, the winged cavalry didn't suffer many casualties. From this, the disparity in strength could be seen. If there was someone who could command the army, they might be able to cause some trouble. However, at this moment, the higher-ups had already been wiped out. Coupled with the sudden attack of the winged cavalry, the barracks were filled with wails and howls.
At this moment, another 3,000 aboriginal soldiers rushed in, and the Great Xia barracks became even more chaotic.
"Sir, the Great Xia soldiers from the east barracks have already left the barracks. The vanguard consists of 1,000 cavalrymen, but I can't tell how many there are at the back. However, more than half of the barracks are empty."
A moment after the east barracks set off, the Great Xia soldiers from the west barracks also set off. However, the commander of the west barracks was even more decisive. He didn't leave a single person behind, and the entire army rushed straight to the north barracks to provide support.
"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Li Qianqiu ordered through the walkie-talkie.
After rushing into the barracks for a round of killing, the 3,000 aboriginal soldiers immediately returned to the empty space to assemble and began to advance in the direction of the east barracks. Countless torches were shining in that direction.
However, just as they left the barracks, they encountered 1,000 cavalrymen rushing over at high speed. Countless soldiers wielding long swords intersected with the cavalrymen at high speed, causing the cavalrymen to fall off their horses and be trampled into mud by the horses behind them.
However, these cavalrymen more or less delayed some time. When the Great Xia soldiers at the back discovered that they had encountered the enemy, a portion of them had already formed a battle formation. The soldiers that arrived one after another added to the thickness of the battle formation.
"Kill!" The aboriginal soldiers looked at the countless human figures illuminated by the torches in front of them and roared as they pounced over.
However, the cannonballs were even faster than them. Six cannonballs landed directly in the battle formation, immediately causing people and horses to be thrown off their feet. The battle formation was also shaken.
The aboriginal soldiers took advantage of this opportunity to pounce in and set off a reign of terror.
There wasn't any suspense in the battle between 3,000 aboriginal soldiers and 10,000 Great Xia elites. After 30 minutes, the Great Xia soldiers began to crumble.
"Stop chasing and kill. The rear army will become the front army and head northwest." Li Qianqiu conveyed the order. Very soon, long whistles were heard on the battlefield. The soldiers who were chasing and killing the enemy gathered together and headed northwest at high speed.
The front army was under the greatest pressure during the attack. As such, when they faced another enemy army, the front and rear armies were swapped.
Otherwise, even if they were Man Wheel experts, it would be difficult for them to immediately carry out another round of attacks after being the tip of a sword to break the enemy's formation.
This time, the opponent was 20,000 Great Xia soldiers from the west barracks. After both sides met, Ren Baqian fired another round of cannonballs. This time, he fired 10 rounds and disrupted the enemy's battle formation. However, the Great Xia soldiers from the west barracks were split into two. One of them was entangled with the aboriginal soldiers, or rather, they were slaughtered.
The other group sped up and headed toward the north barracks in an attempt to be the first to enter the barracks.
"Foolish method," Li Qianqiu commented.
"They have no other choice." Ren Baqian sat on the ground.
The result of a clash between 20,000 Great Xia soldiers and 3,000 aboriginal soldiers in the dark was obvious.
The north barracks still had 70,000 soldiers and 30,000 laborers. If they could gather some of the remaining soldiers, they could still fight.
If they didn't rescue the north barracks, Dayao could directly flatten this army of 20,000 soldiers.
Therefore, after finding out that something had happened to the north barracks, they immediately sent all of their troops to rescue them. After discovering that they were intercepted, they abandoned a portion of their troops.
Even though they knew that these aboriginal soldiers would soon catch up, they still had to give it a try. This was because there was no better way to deal with the current situation.
"Should we get rid of the generals of these two barracks first? It's easy to get a thousand soldiers, but it's hard to find a good general. With so many generals dying in succession, Great Xia won't be able to reorganize the defeated army in a short period of time. If the two generals of the east and west barracks run away, it's very likely that a large number of soldiers can be gathered in a short period of time, "Ren Baqian asked.
"I'll make a trip!" Li Qianqiu touched his chin. He didn't even bring his weapon as he disappeared into the darkness.
Not long after Li Qianqiu left, a winged cavalry warrior in front sent back a message through a walkie-talkie that they had encountered an obstruction. The other party was a god-level expert. Although he was injured, more than 30 winged cavalry warriors had died at his hands.
The other party might be the legendary Lu Pinghai!
When Ren Baqian heard this news, the empress naturally heard it as well. Her whole body erupted with a soaring killing intent. She first returned to the city commander's residence in a flash. When she came out again, she was already holding a longbow and a quiver of bone arrows. She transformed into a red shadow and appeared in the empty space between Liao City and the north barracks. In a flash, she appeared dozens of meters in the air with a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other.
"Lu Qi, I was worried that I couldn't find you. Today, I'll send you to heaven!"
