Three Kingdoms Strong Army System

Li Tong choked up and didn't know how to answer him.

Liu Zhang said again: "Three days ago, I said that if you surrender, your life will be saved, and you will be rich and honored, but you didn't."

"Now I want to surrender, what should I do with the hundreds of brothers I sacrificed?"

Li Tong was speechless, he regretted in his heart, he knew that Liu Zhang was so powerful, he should have surrendered three days ago.

"Come on, drag it down and behead it!"

Liu Zhang waved to the soldiers.

"Spare me, spare me!" Li Tong repeatedly begged for mercy, but Liu Zhang remained unmoved.

"My lord, how will this enemy be dealt with?" Chen Lu pointed at Zhang Li.

"Who is the general?" Liu Zhang asked.

"A native of Niyang, Beidi County, Zhang Li."

"Where do you live now?"

"Li Tong's captain!"

"Will you surrender me?"

"Surrender, surrender!" Zhang Li became excited when he heard that he was alive.

"Temporarily serve as the Sima of another department, and I will be rewarded for meritorious service in the future!"

"Thank you, my lord!" The soldiers at the side untied the rope from Zhang Li's body, and Liu Zhang ordered him to gather the surrendered troops in the city.

Now in Yiju City, there are 700 soldiers who have surrendered, including nearly [-] wounded soldiers.

These soldiers are all very good soldiers.

They live in Liangzhou, and their physical fitness is stronger than soldiers in other places.

Once they join Liu Zhang's command, they can become elite with a little training.

Within seven days of dispatching troops, Liu Zhang captured the three counties of Canbio, Niyang, and Yiju in the southern part of Beidi County.

However, he has only mastered the cities of the three counties, and he has not mastered the vast areas of the three counties.

After the soldiers fought for several days, Liu Zhang ordered all the troops to rest in place for two days, and then marched into the northern part of Beidi County.

However, the news of his sending troops to Beidi County has been found out by the princes in the northern part of Beidi County.

The Qiang nationality came from the ancient Qiang, and later divided into many tribes. The so-called Qiang nationality is just a collective name.

According to different regions, the Qiang people are divided into Western Qiang and Eastern Qiang.

Among them, there are many Qiang tribes in the Eastern Qiang, including Yakniu Qiang, Baima Qiang, Qingyi Qiang, Shenlang Qiang and Ranyu Qiang.

Each large tribe is divided into many small tribes.

In this way, the entire Qiang nationality is formed.

These Qiang people are scattered across several counties in Liangzhou.During the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, there were Qiang guards in Liangzhou, but now that the Han Dynasty has declined, the Qiang people have long since ignored the Han army.

The registered population of Beidi County is only 1.8, not including these Qiang people.

In Beidi County, the Qiang population is at least 4.

Wudang was born in a tribe of the Yak Qiang, and he had the support of half of the Yak Qiang to occupy the three northern counties of Beidi County.

However, although he occupied the three counties of Fuping, Lianxian, and Lingzhou, he was not good at governing the local area.

He actually used the method of governing the tribe to govern the cities of the Han people. Therefore, although he occupied the cities of the three counties, he did not show benevolence and righteousness, strengthened the city walls, and carried out stocking of the people under his rule.

In the three counties, whether it is Han, Qiang or other Hu people, as long as they pay taxes to him on time and send troops in time of war, it will be fine.

This kind of autonomy is like the enfeoffment of the Zhou Dynasty.All generals and nobles have great power and many advantages, but their disadvantages are also obvious.

After he learned that the Han army sent troops to Beidi County, he immediately summoned the leaders of the tribes in the three counties to discuss.

After Liu Zhang repaired for two days, he left 3000 people to guard the three counties of Canbi, Niyang, and Yiju, and led 7000 people to go north along the mud water.

In the three counties of Fuping, Lianxian, and Lingzhou in the north of Beidi County, Fuping is the largest, next to Shenbi, but there are only 3000 registered Han people.

These 3000 people are all concentrated in the county seat.

Although Wudang, the Qiang, controlled Fuping County, he did not change the county.

Moreover, the Qiang people do not like to live in the city. They prefer to live in tents in the wild, watching groups of cattle and sheep every day, grazing and looking at the blue sky at the same time. They are very free.

If they stayed in a house in the city, it would give them a sense of restraint.

When Liu Zhang's brigade appeared in Fuping, Wudang's army had not yet assembled.

His subordinates have always been self-governing, and the ministries are far apart. In three days, he gathered 3000 people.

Wudang knew that the Han army had tens of thousands of people, and he felt that with these 3000 people, he would definitely not be able to defeat the opponent.

Therefore, Wudang urged the ministries to continue to assemble, and he took 3000 people south to Xicheng.

This Xicheng is located in Fuping County, ten miles southeast of Fuping County, it is a small city.

He occupied Xicheng, so that Fuping County became a corner.

As long as these two cities are guarded, the Han army will be unable to move an inch and cannot continue to go north.

The mountain road was difficult, and when Liu Zhang's army arrived, they found the two cities blocking the way.

Both Fuping City and Xicheng City are not big, but the terrain is dangerous and the surrounding area is narrow, which is not suitable for large-scale soldiers to fight.

If the ants attack the city, of course they can take the city, but in this way, the loss of soldiers will be too much.

Beidi County is just a place of bitter cold, Liu Zhang does not intend to consume too many troops.

He camped twenty miles outside Fuping City, waiting for food and grass to be delivered from the rear.

Liu Zhang stagnated and gave Wudang time.

Three days later, he gathered another 3000 people. These 3000 people were all young and strong from the Yak and Qiang tribes.

Yak Qiang also knew the seriousness of the matter. Although it was not their limit to select three thousand young adults this time, they did their best to support Wudang.

Liu Zhang personally inspected Fuping City and Xicheng, and he found that if he attacked Fuping City, the defenders of Xicheng could directly attack his right flank.

If he attacks Xicheng, the defenders of Fuping City can directly attack his left flank.

If you can break through a city first, it will be easy.

While Liu Zhang was thinking hard, a convoy of food trucks came over.

Along with the grain transport convoy, there was also Ma Jun.

Liu Zhang was a little surprised to see Ma Jun in the tent.

"How did you come?"

Ma Jun should be doing research in Chang'an City.

"My lord, I reformed the production of catapults according to the idea you gave me, and found that the production time was greatly reduced. This time I just brought ten catapults."

"Oh, take me to see it!" No matter what you say, with the catapult, no matter how dangerous the city is, it can be broken.

Ma Jun and Liu Zhang quickly walked out of the tent and came to the catapult.

These catapults were all transported from Chang'an City, and the key components were disassembled in batches, leaving only an empty shell.

But these empty shells reduce the weight and facilitate transportation.

Ma Jun greeted his subordinates, and in front of Liu Zhang, it took only half an hour to assemble the ten catapults.

Seeing the completed catapult, Liu Zhang looked east and west, and then touched it with his hands.

After a long time, he looked at Ma Jun. "What is the projection range of these catapults?"

"My lord, I have tried it, and they can throw more than three hundred steps."
