Chapter 945: A Great Victory
Before they reached Yanmen Pass.
They faced their first battle.
Since they had 10,000 troops in their hands, some villages around the two villages also came to surrender, mainly because the high walls built by Lijia Village and Linjia Village were too shocking.
In addition, everyone knows that there are 10,000 soldiers in Linjia Village and Lijia Village. Training so many people there is more than enough to protect their two villages.
The village chiefs of other villages naturally had this idea in their minds. It is not easy to survive in this world, and one can only survive by relying on the strong.
The villagers already have a hard life. If there is someone to protect them, at least they don’t have to worry about bandits or invasions by foreigners.
As a result, more than a dozen surrounding villages are now connected together.
Many villages are following Li Tieniu and Lin Dawang's lead. Some villages are reclaiming wasteland, while others are developing various measures. One village is producing and selling snowflake salt, while another is opening brick kilns.
Now their red bricks have long been sold all over the country along the trade routes they opened up.
There is also the cement recipe that Jiang Xiaoxiao just provided them. This was after Jiang Xiaoxiao returned to that world.
She asked Jin Dachuan to help her make it. The recipe of this cement is no longer a secret in modern times.
However, when it was first made in ancient times, a layer was applied on the outside of the city wall.
Two days later, their people were stunned when they saw this concrete wall.
I didn't expect this thing to be so sturdy.
Every household in the village started using cement, and the walls of the red brick houses were plastered with cement.
This house is very solid, especially with a layer of cement on the outside. Even the roof is made of cement boards. Compared with the original thatched roof, it is much stronger.
Just imagine how many people would rush to buy the cement if the cement made from this recipe were sold.
If this mud house is completely covered with cement house, it will not leak when it rains and will not collapse when it is windy. They will not be afraid of floods or ground dragons. Unlike the original house, it will collapse in a short time.
According to Li Yu's suggestion, he wanted to build high walls outside every village, and they should be solid concrete walls.
They formed fortresses one by one and helped each other.
Everyone exchanges information with each other. Once something happens in the village, the bell is sounded or the smoke signal is set off, and other villages will immediately receive the news.
And today they received the news.
In the middle of the night.
At the forefront, at Mengjiazhai, which was close to the foreign tribes, smoke signals were set off and there were flickering flames.
When the others received the news, they immediately passed it on to them. When Jiang Xiaoxiao heard this, they thought that this was a foreign invasion, so they had to go, no matter what else.
The people here are trained for combat, and this is also a chance for them to practice.
On the other hand, we must make people feel that if one person is in trouble, everyone will come to help.
Only when people are united in purpose can they become more and more united.
The working people always need a savior.
Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't want to be a savior, but it was true that the world needed change and innovation.
Jiang Xiaoxiao led the team personally, and Li Tieniu led a thousand men, 100 of whom were the famous firearms team. This team was feared in the army, and they had all seen the power of the firearms.
Hamd and his men surrounded the village, shouting.
This winter, they encountered a cold wave that occurs rarely in a century. After the heavy snow, many cattle and sheep were frozen to death on the grassland. For them, there was no cattle and sheep and no food.
How to survive is naturally a difficult problem.
However, for these Turkic people, if they ran out of food, they would just rob. This was the case every year. If they had no food or water, they would go to the villages in front of Yanmen Pass to rob.
Anyway, those villagers are just like the cattle and sheep they raise.
If you want to fight, fight; if you want to kill, kill.
This is the sheep from the sheepfold at home.
Who would have thought that when they arrived near the familiar village, the scouts ahead reported that there was a high wall in the village.
Hamd didn't believe it at all, so he rode his horse and led his men to take a closer look.
Sure enough, a high wall stood before him, making him feel so depressed that he could neither go up nor down.
These two-legged sheep actually dare to do this.
Did they really think that this broken wall could stop them?
I really don't know how strong the Turks are.
So he led his men to charge and kill.
Who would have thought that the other side would not respond to the challenge at all? There was a gong sound from the high wall and flames shot up into the sky.
Their cavalry couldn't jump over the high wall at all, because that wall was not an ordinary earth wall.
It is extremely hard and even a knife or a gun can't leave a dent on it.
They didn't bring any siege ladders, so they shot arrows to intimidate the people inside and they just wouldn't come out.
As soon as they tried to climb up using ropes, someone would pour hot oil on them and throw rocks at them.
It's almost the same, not counting rolling logs and rocks.
Anyway, in just a short period of time, several people died and more than a dozen were injured.
Hamd was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
"Let's go to the next village."
Everyone in the tribe was waiting for food to get through the winter. Before he left, he made a bold statement, vowing to give the tribe a well-fed and warm winter. How could he return empty-handed now?
"Report! King, a group of people has surrounded us. There are quite a few of them, twice as many as us. What should we do now?"
Hamd was surprised. The southerners have always been weak and can be bullied. When did so many southerners dare to resist them?
"Your Majesty, all is fair in war. There may be southern troops nearby. We should withdraw first and see what happens next."
Hamd's men suggested that they had dealt with southerners before, and that these southerners were always cunning and might have some conspiracy or trickery.
Hamd waved his hands nonchalantly, showing no belief at all, and said with confidence.
"Don't be afraid. Even if it's the southern army, so what? Since the death of the general of the Jiang family army, no southerners dare to oppose us. They are just pretending to be powerful. Wait for me to lead you to meet the enemy and kill them without leaving a single piece of armor."
The rest of the people were cheering. They came to the South to get food and fodder for the winter. Now that they were frustrated, they felt a surge of anger in their hearts that they wanted to vent.
I can't wait to go to the battlefield and kill those southerners.
Hamd and his men rode back to meet the enemy.
Who knew that there was no time to see the enemy's head-on attack.
But I heard fire and thunder around me.
A sound like thunder exploded among them.
I saw soldiers dying or being injured immediately.
The horses had long been frightened by the sound and had lost control.
The situation was out of control all of a sudden.
Jiang Li Tieniu came to report happily.
"Sir, we killed 300 enemies and captured 200, including a Turkic Tatar king, who should be a high-ranking official."
Whenever they encountered the Turks, they suffered heavy casualties.
Every year the village would be attacked by the Turks, resulting in countless casualties, but now they are winning a great victory.
There were no casualties.
This is all thanks to Mr. Jiang's ability.
