The Golden Family, rising from the Western Regions

Chapter 62: The Fall of Wuya Village
"Lord Li~"

"The king has an order!"

"I order your troops to prepare immediately and join forces with the other troops to capture Wuya Village before sunset."

When Li Xiao and his men just arrived outside Wuya Village, before they had time to catch their breath, they received an order from Xiao Simo.

"Grass~"

After the messenger left, Li Xiao cursed harshly.

"Damn your sister Xiao Simo, he's just not a human being."

There is no doubt that the Han army under Li Xiao was used as cannon fodder.

Conquer Wuya Village before sunset? Xiao Simo said it easily.

When the Moman tribe attacked Wuya Village, they besieged it for several days and many people died.

"What should we do? Dalong? The Khitans obviously want us to die." Li Dashan said worriedly.

Qin Kaishan and others shook their heads, thinking that they were just going to be cannon fodder.

Otherwise, why would they bring you here?
Who made them not Xiao Simo's direct descendants?

If the Han people and other nomadic tribes are not allowed to go, will Xiao Simo be forced to consume his own six-division troops?

Anyway, Qin Kaishan and his men have fought with the Khitans all their lives, and have experienced many things like this, so they are no longer angry.

This is what it's like to be raised by a stepmother.

The Khitans have always used these ragtag troops as cannon fodder.

However, Li Xiao didn't want his men to die in vain, so he snorted and said.

"He, Xiao Simo, is not a human being, and I, Li Xiao, won't be one either."

"Pass the order down, let the Zhelan people go first."

Isn't it just driving cannon fodder!

Li Xiao also has it.

This time we went on an expedition with more than 300 Zhelan people, and they were used in this situation.

"Tell that to those Zhelan people."

"Whoever is the first to attack Wuya Village will be freed from slavery and rewarded with fifty sheep." Li Xiao ordered in a deep voice.

Then, he looked at Erhu and said, "Organize a supervision team and follow the Zhelan people."

"Anyone who dares to retreat from the battlefield will be shot dead."

"Yes, sir!" Erhu nodded heavily and turned to leave.

"Woooooooooo~"

"Woooooo~"

A low horn sounded across the land, and the Dongdu Army's attack began.

The tribes of Wulijian, Halatou, Hechila and others were ready to go and rode their war horses towards Wuya Village.

The first time was definitely a test. When they were about to approach the trench, these cavalrymen immediately fired a hail of arrows.

Then they turned their horses around, advanced to both sides, galloped around the trench, and fired long shots.

On the other side, more than 300 slaves of the Zhelan tribe rushed towards Wuyazhai under the threat of bows and arrows from the Hexi cavalry.

However, as landlords in Jinzhou, the Han people still have certain advantages.

When Li Xiao came, he brought more than a dozen carriages, which came in handy at this time.

By installing a wooden board in front of the carriage, it becomes a simple shield cart.

The Zhelan people used horse-drawn carts, pushing gravel and soil, and facing the arrows of the Moman tribe, to fill the trench bit by bit.

"Ahhh~"

Outside Wuya Village, screams continued.

As the attacking party, they ultimately suffered losses. The number of casualties among the Dongdu Army was far higher than that of the Moman Tribe.

But fortunately, the Dongdu Army was large in number and still exerted great pressure on the Moman tribe.

"Which army is this that is so brave?"

On a high slope in the distance, Xiao Simo looked at the battlefield. When he looked at the Zhelan people, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"This? It seems to be from Zhelan~"

A Khitan general said uncertainly.

Another person was curious: "Weren't the Zhelan people surrounded and annihilated by the Han people?"

Everyone suddenly realized that the Han people were acting as middlemen and using the Zhelan people as cannon fodder.

"Your Majesty, the Zhelan tribe is from our Yinshan Mountains. It is outrageous that they were captured and used as slaves by the Han people."

Xiao Tuladuo said: "The Han people should immediately release these Zhelan people."

"Forget it." Xiao Simo shook his head slightly.

"This is the rule of the grassland. If the Zhelan tribe is defeated, they will become slaves of the Han people. If we rob them, we will break the rules."

"Besides, they are just a few hundred Zhelan people. It's not worth it for the Han people to feel resentful."

What Xiao Simo cares about is who has the highest value of use, and the next battle will still require the support of the Han people.

Not to mention the long-term consequences, once the battle with the Naiman people reaches a stalemate, the dried meat and food carried by the army will be exhausted.

With no chance to rob the Naimans, the Han people of Jinzhou were needed to provide cattle, sheep and food for the army.

"Go tell Li Xiao that I want to see him appear in Wuya Village before sunset." Xiao Simo ordered his personal soldiers.

Don’t think that the Han people can just work without putting in any effort just because the Zhelan people are used as cannon fodder.

Xiao Simo is not someone who can be fooled easily.

Moreover, in this battle, he also wants to see what Li Xiao's abilities are.

Is he really qualified to be promoted to his right-hand man? Outside Wuya Village, Li Xiao listened to Xiao Simo's order and shook his head slightly.

After all, there is no way to escape it!
"It feels different to work for others." Li Xiao said with a sigh.

The previous night attack on Sanhe Fort was to protect the safety of Hexi Fort, so naturally everyone risked their lives.

But now, with the Khitans as his boss, Li Xiao was thinking about how to preserve his own strength and avoid excessive losses.

Glancing at the sky, I saw that the sun had already begun to set, casting golden rays of light across the earth.

In half an hour at most, it would be completely dark.

"Come on, it's our turn."

Li Xiao, wearing armor, shouted loudly to the Han army in the seven forts behind him.

"Kill~"

At this time, the Zhelan people's offensive had achieved certain results.

A section of the trench is about to be filled in.

Following Li Xiao's order, more than a dozen Han soldiers in full armor were divided into three groups, each pushing a carriage.

The carriage was loaded with a huge piece of wood.

Simple ramming car!

A dozen armored Han soldiers pushed these battering rams, and under the fire of arrows from the Qarluk people, they quickly pushed them over the trenches filled by the Zhelan people, using the impact force of inertia.

The huge tree crashed into the wall of Wuya Village with a loud bang.

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

Accompanied by three loud bangs, this section of the wall of Wuya Village collapsed.

If it were the city walls in the Central Plains, such an effect would definitely not be achieved.

However, the walls of Wuya Village were made of rubble and soil, and were only about one meter high.

It simply cannot withstand the impact of the battering ram.

"Brothers, the wall has been broken!"

"Follow me and charge in."

Li Xiao held the lance in his hand and shouted loudly to the cavalry behind him.

"Kill~"

More than a thousand Qibao cavalrymen rushed out in an instant and began to charge. The horses roared, stirring up gusts of sand, and the golden swords neighed, constantly stained with the blood of the Qarlug people.

Li Xiao charged ahead and in a short time, he rushed into Wuya Village.

He waved the lance wildly, and any Qarlug who appeared within two meters of him was stabbed through in an instant.

Erhu and others followed closely behind, harvesting the lives of the Qarlug people with spears and swords.

"Uncle Neerlun~"

"Uncle Neerlun~"

A young Karluk boy named Luoga cried and shook the old herdsman's body, but he was shot in the chest by a Han arrow, and his hearty smile would never be seen again.

"Ah~"

Before Luoga could cry out a few times, a man's scream was heard again not far away.

"Brother Guli~"

The young Qarluk man was horrified to see that Wuguli, who had just given him instructions and threatened to ride his horse to the northern border, was now stabbed in the chest by a Han Chinese with a horse lance.

Blood gushed out of his body and he fell heavily off his horse.

"Pfft~"

Li Xiao deftly drew out his lance and glanced sideways at the young Qarluk man with hatred on his face.

The warhorse charged forward again, and in just a few breaths, the horse spear instantly chopped off the young man's head.

Luoga's world was spinning and slowly became darker.

The image of Li Xiao still lingered in his eyes. It was a face that was too young, about the same age as Luo Ga.

But why is he so cruel and why does he slaughter our people so wantonly?
Is he the devil?
Luoga screamed in grief.

"Report~"

"Your Majesty, the Jinzhou Han tribe has invaded Wuya Village."

A messenger rode a warhorse and quickly ran to Xiao Simo to report the news.

In fact, Xiao Simo was standing on the high slope and was always paying attention to the situation of the Han people.

Not only did he see the Han people attacking Wuya Village, he also saw Li Xiao, fully armored, rushing into the Karluk people as if he were in an empty space.

The scene of horse lances dancing wildly, constantly reaping the lives of the Karluk people.

He looked up at the sky again. The sun was still visible at this time, and the golden light fell on Xiao Simo's face, warm and comfortable.

"This kid is pretty good."

"It's no wonder Ah Man thinks so highly of him and always speaks well of him in front of me."

"Haha~"

Xiao Simo nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, other tribes had not been able to get to the edge of Wuya Village, but Li Xiao had already led his men to capture the village.

Not only is he powerful and brave in battle, but the Han cavalry under his command is also quite powerful.

Xiao Simo's level of respect for Li Xiao quietly rose to a higher level.
