Cut off my army's food supplies? I'll open a portal between the two worlds and max out my

These horses were all carefully selected by Li Wen, and were of a strong and robust Ferghana physique.

Although this type of horse is not the fastest, its stamina and endurance are excellent, making it very suitable for the two-person, one-horse tactic devised by Li Wen.

Li Wen devised a two-person, one-horse tactic where two people ride a single warhorse together. The person in front is responsible for controlling the horse, while the person behind uses a modern crossbow to fire.

What are the advantages of modern composite bows compared to ancient bows and arrows? Longer range! Higher accuracy! Faster reloading speed!

Li Wen's tactics can fully utilize these advantages, which is in line with Li Wen's current tactical philosophy: to use our strengths to strike the enemy's weaknesses.

As for how to fight the enemy head-on, that's not something a two-person team needs to consider, because having a two-person team fight head-on doesn't fit Li Wen's tactical philosophy.

If the enemy insists on organizing a large-scale cavalry charge, then let them talk to my RPG.

At this moment, the Anxi army had already moved up and surrounded the Northern Hu cavalry.

The Northern Hu cavalry had basically lost their ability to move quickly, and even the lucky few who were uninjured looked around blankly.

The Northern Hu cavalry originally wanted to wait for their leader to give orders, but the Northern Hu leader was very fortunate to be at the scene of the fragmentation grenade explosion.

He was already lying in a pool of blood.

"kill."

Jiang Tian decisively issued the combat order.

Other members of the Anxi army began to aim and pull the trigger.

Xiu! Xiu!

First came the sound of crossbow bolts piercing the air, followed by the muffled thud of arrows piercing bodies. The Northern Hu cavalrymen who were hit couldn't even scream before collapsing to the ground and following their leader.

However, there were still some capable Northern Hu knights who, unable to find their warhorses, tried to charge with their scimitars. But modern composite crossbows have optical aiming assistance, and given the Anxi army's extensive training, shooting at such a fast-moving target was no different from shooting at a stationary target.

The Anxi army was like a group of silent grim reapers, reaping the lives of the long-lived Northern Hu knights.

Jiang Tian, ​​standing to the side, watched this scene expressionlessly.

He knew this was the cruelty of war, and he was also well aware that if it weren't for his own general, they would have been mercilessly slaughtered just like the Northern Hu people were now.

The battle did not last long. After there were no more Northern Hu people who could stand up, Jiang Tian led a group of people to the ground to check on them one by one and finish off those who were still alive.

The general once said that in Anxi Town, friends are treated to fine wine, but enemies are crushed to death with cold iron fists.

There must be absolutely no mercy when dealing with the enemy.

After finishing off the enemy, Jiang Tian rode up to Li Wen and reported, "Reporting to the general, the enemy has been completely annihilated by our troops."

Li Wen said with a satisfied smile, "Good, go back and give all the brothers a commendation, and treat them to an extra meal at the canteen for dinner."

"The logistics team is going to clean up the battlefield. Jiang Tian, ​​come with me to see how our friends are doing."

"Yes, General!"

Li Wen led Jiang Tian leisurely to the merchants' area.

For these businesspeople, today will probably be an unforgettable day.

They had witnessed the drone dropping bombs, but they couldn't understand what was happening.

"What is that?"

"It's like the wrath of the gods! The gods are saving us!"

Some people wept with joy.

"No." There was still someone who remained rational; his voice trembled. "It seems to be the army from Anxi Town..."

"What?! That heavenly lightning power was actually man-made?!"

"I heard a legend before, but I didn't pay attention to it. Now it seems to be true..."

"What legend?"

"I've heard there's a divine messenger in the Gobi Desert. Could it be that General Anxi is that divine messenger?"

These merchants were very rational and focused on their own interests. They didn't care about so-called myths and legends at all, because the gods wouldn't give them money.

"The messenger of the gods has arrived!"

The merchants stepped forward en masse, bowing deeply before Li Wen in heartfelt submission: "Thank you, Heavenly God, for saving our lives!"

Li Wen dismounted and said to the crowd, "Please rise, everyone."

Li Wen personally helped up the person at the front.

Seeing that Li Wen was so easygoing, the others didn't want to disobey him, so they slowly stood up.

Although Li Wen was easygoing with them, they dared not underestimate him in the slightest, as the thunderous scene from earlier was still etched in their minds.

Those savage and powerful Northern Hu people were swatted to death by the Anxi general before them, just like eagles!

Li Wen looked at everyone and said, "I have received a letter from Tongcheng. You are all guests visiting my Anxi Town. We in Anxi Town have a principle: we welcome our guests with fine wine, but..."

At this point, Li Wen said in a serious tone, "When dealing with enemies, we only strike hard. If the enemy intends to harm our friends in Anxi Town, then they are plotting against Anxi Town!"

Li Wen's words sent a chill down the spines of the merchants. After all, they had witnessed the formidable strength of the Anxi army firsthand, and many thought that upon returning to their own countries, they would surely advise their lords not to antagonize Anxi Town.

Otherwise, in the face of such terrifying lightning, the number of their country's troops would become meaningless!

At the same time, a sense of relief welled up in their hearts.

Li Wen's words were tantamount to providing them with a sense of security.

They do business simply to make money safely! Now Anxi Town can provide them with the environment they desire most!

"Well then, everyone, shall we head back to town and rest for a bit?"

"Your Excellency, the God of Heaven."

Li Wen shook his head and said, "Don't call me anything like 'Heavenly God.' I personally prefer to be addressed by my job title when I'm working. Just call me General."

"Yes... General!"

The crowd responded.

The business department previously established in Anxi Town is now finally coming in handy.

The Ministry of Commerce has a reception room, which is quite large and can easily accommodate these dozens of businesspeople.

The Anxi army not only brought them back safely, but also returned all the goods they brought to each person intact.

Now the merchants can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and this also shows that Anxi Town welcomes them to do business.

The staff served everyone a cup of hot tea, and the businesspeople crowded onto a long row of chairs.

Li Wen stood in front of the crowd, looking like a teacher giving a lecture. Although he had a kind face, the crowd below the stage looked like students.

"I know why you've come here, and I personally welcome you to do business in my Anxi Town. Moreover, I want to tell you that Anxi Town doesn't only have soap as a source of goods; we also have many other vegetables that have great potential for development..."

Li Wen first gave a general introduction to Anxi Town.

Then he got to the point: "I know that what you are most concerned about is the soap. We will distribute the soap purchase quota to everyone fairly. You just need to fill out the form. However, because we have a prior cooperation with Her Highness the Princess of White Elephant Kingdom, the products you purchase can only be shipped eastward, not westward... Anyone who violates the contract will be disqualified by Anxi Town."

"If anyone thinks they can fool Anxi Town's eyes, then let them try."

At this point, Li Wen revealed a kind smile.

However, many of the businesspeople in the audience felt a chill run down their spines.

They had already witnessed Li Wen's prowess; he truly was, as the legends said, an envoy representing the gods... Even for the sake of their own lives, they couldn't afford to oppose Anxi Town.

Most importantly, the restriction Li Wen mentioned doesn't prevent them from making money.

Moreover, selling soap to Dazhou would only yield higher profits; it would just be a bit more work and require traveling a longer distance.

For merchants, earning more money and traveling farther is not considered hard work at all.

Li Wen observed everyone's expressions and was satisfied with their reactions.

These words were all prepared by Li Wen as a big stick, and now that he had given them the stick, it was time to bring out the sweet treat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Anxi Town also has relevant preferential policies for its partners. I believe what you are most interested in is Anxi Town's policy of...zero tariffs."

"What?! No customs duties?!"

"Sir General! Are you telling the truth?"

"No customs duties are required for transactions in Anxi Town?!"

Even the most composed merchants couldn't contain their excitement at this moment, and everyone stood up, looking eagerly at Li Wen.
