On the other side, Xie Linlang returned to the capital that day, and came out of the capital again that day.
However, she only brought a dozen people with her when she came, but when she left, she brought a full 50,000 people. These 50,000 people were transferred from other places to support the Northland. It happened that Xie Linlang was going to go there, so she came to lead them. soldier.
Originally, she should have spent at least one day in the capital for repairs, but in the evening, an emergency report came from 800 miles, saying that the northern frontier was attacked by an enemy, so she decided to travel overnight.
Fortunately, Huang Lao has prepared food and grass in advance, and has also rectified his people and horses, and can set off at any time, so there is no delay.
But before leaving, Xie Linlang looked at the map and suddenly had an idea.
She wrote a letter to Xiaoxi, gave Xiaoxi a token and told him to go east.
After doing all this, Xie Linlang stopped staying and went straight to the north.
She went to the Northland once when she was almost fourteen, and that time she missed the death of the queen.
It was also from then on that she decided to take a different path and went all the way to the present.
Destiny went round and round and sent her to the place where she started.
But this time, she no longer hesitated, she has grown up!

The Northern Territory borders the Tianyuan Kingdom. Since the Tianyuan Kingdom captured the Gaoshan tribes, the entire northern region is the territory of the Tianyuan Kingdom.
Before Tianyuan's raid, because Daqin was always on guard, it didn't cause too many casualties.
But the brief encounter between arms made the garrison general Xiao Chengjun realize the gap.
The opponent only sent more than 1,000 people to raid, but he mobilized more than 3,000 people to defend. As a result, the opponent did not lose any troops, and dozens of people died on his side.
The gap between the individual soldiers made General Xiao a little uneasy. The key point is that the cavalry of Tianyuan Kingdom cooperated well with each other. If they have such strength on their side, then this battle is really not easy to fight!
The only advantage on their side is probably the city wall.
When Qin Jue ascended the throne, he had to spend a lot of money and material resources to build the city wall. At that time, many ministers were opposed to it, because the Northland already had a wall, so there was no need to build it again.
But Qin Jue insisted that the original city wall was very old, and in the event of a war, it would be useless at all, so he defied the public opinion to allocate funds to build the wall, and thanks to his insistence at the time, they now have such a good city wall defense.
It can be said that, from all aspects, although Qin Jue is young, he is still a wise ruler. It is no wonder that after he ascended the throne and Xie Linlang showed his edge, there are so many ghosts and ghosts who can't sit still and want to come out to make trouble.
In addition, in Tianyuan, there is actually not so much unity.
In the past, the Northern Territory was divided into hundreds of tribes, large and small, each tribe had its own tribal leader, and as a result, it was all annexed by Tian Yuan.
That's why Tian Yuan was so eager to attack Da Qin. After unifying the Northern Territory, Tian Yuan urgently needed a lot of funds and an external war to lay the foundation for his authority and development.
And be quick, once the war drags on from spring and summer to autumn and winter, the grass is withered and yellow, the horses and people are short of food, and they cannot afford to consume more than endurance, so they can only fight quickly.
Da Qin and Tian Yuan are very clear about this, which means that once Tian Yuan starts to attack, he will do his best!
Daqin naturally does not dare to slack off. Whoever kills the deer can only meet on the battlefield!
*
Xie Linlang hurried all the way.
Tian Yuan's first raid was obviously a test, but even if they found that Da Qin was heavily defended, it was impossible to retreat.
After the unification of the Northern Territory, Tianyuan has no battle to fight, so who will support so many soldiers
It is also impossible to disband most of the soldiers. So many tribes are united, and their loyalty is very low. If Tianyuan cuts the soldiers, what will they do? Then it fell apart again.
Therefore, they can only agree to the outside world, so as to speed up the integration between tribes.
It can only be said that the people behind the scenes have a good idea, and this method of promoting integration is very bold and innovative.
The reason why they didn't hit the swamp country was because they were separated by the desert, and they didn't hit the swamp country because they were separated from the swamp country by the hills.
Only Daqin has the best geographical location to attack, the largest border area, and has money and food.
Thinking of this, everyone was in a hurry. Just when the army was about to enter the Northland, a rain of arrows came suddenly!
Everyone quickly erected shields to resist.
After the arrows passed, a horse emerged from the woods, a masked man sat on the horse's back, and a man was tied behind the horse. Seeing Xie Linlang looking over, a dozen horses ran in different directions. , dragging those who are clearly ordinary people struggling behind.
When a lieutenant sees this, he wants to chase after him!
Xie Linlang stopped them and took a big bow from the back seat.
She raised her bow and drew arrows, firing three at a time, one after another.
Ordinary bows and arrows have a very short range, but she is different and her bow is different. Although she is a human, she can show the power of a crossbow.
After the three arrows were shot, they hurriedly picked up three more, and everyone just felt that arrows were being shot constantly in front of them!
In just a few breaths of time, more than thirty horses running in different directions were all shot to death!
The masked man obviously did not expect Xie Linlang to be so defiant, and he failed in the first step after a good fight! After they rolled off their horses, they hurried into the woods to escape.
However, there were so many people behind Xie Linlang, who had already surrounded him as soon as the horse fell.
They caught the masked man and rescued the poor people who were tied behind their horses.
A small storm was quelled in an instant.
Once the prisoners were caught, they had to be interrogated, but those prisoners seemed to be dead men. After being caught by Xie Linlang's people, they bit the poison sac in their mouths without saying a word. Only one older person did not do that.
After tearing off the mask, he saw a scar running through his face. Seeing Xie Linlang walking towards him, he was held on his knees on the ground, but raised his head and smiled gloomily at Xie Linlang.
"Tian Yuan's spy?" Xie Linlang stood a meter away from him.
Scarface heard the words and said with a wicked smile.
"You are... Xie Linlang?"
"Exactly."
He looked around at the people around him, including the neat army behind Xie Linlang, and laughed!
"Are all men in Daqin so unreasonable? They were ordered by a woman. Are your men dead? Or you are all fat powder in your bones, so don't be ashamed, go home and eat milk!"
His words shocked everyone, and everyone looked at each other first, then looked at Xie Linlang.
woman? This person said that Mr. Xie is a woman? How can it be? !
Xie Linlang sneered when she saw that this man was here to disturb the hearts of the army.
"If I were a woman, you were beaten by a woman, what's there to be proud of?"
As she spoke, she said to the soldier who was pressing down on the man, "Kill it, the dead man keeps it, it's meaningless."
