The Qiang soldiers were awakened by the fire while sleeping. The soldiers desperately fled out of the tent and rushed to the valley entrance. Almost everyone was not wearing armor, had no time to carry weapons, and many people were even barefoot.

At this time, the fire had already covered half of the camp, with thick smoke rolling, and the fire spread rapidly. Several soldiers did not show up except for escaping from the valley.

But just in front of the camp, one or fifty soldiers of the Eagle Strike Army raised their crossbows. They were divided into rows and arranged in sequence, blocking the valley entrance. The cold arrows pointed at the Qiang soldiers who fled to the camp. A Han army general shouted softly, "first row shot"

Fifty arrows suddenly shot out, flying quickly towards the Qiang people who were running towards them. In the dark night, the Qiang soldiers were caught off guard and were shot to the ground. At this time, the first row of Han soldiers quickly squatted down and loaded arrows. The second row of soldiers turned the hanging knife, and fifty crossbow arrows shot at the enemy like lightning. Then the row of soldiers raised the crossbow and shot it out.

The Han soldiers acted quickly and accurately, and forty or fifty arrows were shot at the enemy in the shortest time, with great lethality. More than two Qiang soldiers were shot down and their bodies were piled up at the valley entrance.

The valley was crying and shouting, with raging fire inside, and the outside was deadly arrows. The Qiang soldiers could not advance and retreat, and countless people died in the sea of ​​fire. Many people raised their hands, cried and surrendered and rushed towards the valley, begging for mercy, but the Han army showed no mercy and shot them ruthlessly with dense arrows.

Above his head, fifty Han soldiers also kept shooting arrows downwards, and dozens of Qiang soldiers who were trying to climb the military fort were also shot by the Han army and rolled down the mountain. Ren Ping watched the massacre in the valley, with no expression on his face. His long military career has made them feel cold and hard, and their sympathy towards the enemy will eventually harm themselves.

At this time, Ren Ping looked up and looked north. The fire in the north was already small, but the shouts of killing still existed. Seeing that most of the enemy had been killed and there were fewer people left, he shouted loudly at the entrance of the valley: "Prince Li, lead a brother north to support the main general."

Hearing a response from afar, a soldier turned around and ran north. Ren Ping felt a little worried. Is there something wrong with Liu Zheng?

Just as Ren Ping was worried, there was indeed a problem with Liu Zheng leading his soldiers to attack the Northern Military Camp. The northern military camp is not located in a valley like the southern military camp, which is easy to deal with. The northern military camp is located at a high point in the valley, with dozens of large tents built on the ridges that stretched out. There is also a military fort. The fort is home to the tooth general, soldiers and famous eagle slaves, and five loyal eagles are also in the military fort.

The military fort is opposite the military camp, which means that if you take action at the same time, you will be discovered by the opponent. Liu Zheng finally decided to concentrate his troops to capture the military fort and must kill Yingnu and Xinying. Hexi cannot let Hexi know that something happened to Dadoubagu. As for whether he would be discovered by the military camp opposite, he no longer cared about it.

Liu Zheng ordered one person to ambush the valley road north of the military camp to intercept the soldiers to flee north. He led two soldiers to attack the military fort. There were not many soldiers in the military fort, only more than ten people. They were captured by the Han army in one fell swoop, and Yingnu and Xinying were both shot and killed.

But the assault in the military fort finally alarmed the opposite military camp. The awakened Qiang soldiers rushed out of the military camp and shouted to kill towards the military fort. Liu Zheng led two eagle strike troops to turn their heads and pounced down, fighting fiercely with nearly five Qiang soldiers.

In the darkness, the sword light flashed, the spear slashed, screams came one after another, the cut off arms and the heads that were chopped away, the air was filled with blood mist, and the wailings and moans before death were everywhere.

The Eagle Strike Army is the most elite army of the Han army. They choose one from the army. They are all skilled in martial arts and have extremely rich combat experience. They can fight against ten people with one or ten. The two Eagle Strike Armys are not on the same level at all. In a moment, they kill the Qiang soldiers everywhere and retreat step by step.

In just a quarter of an hour, more than half of the soldiers of the Five Qiang were killed and injured, while only a few Han soldiers were slightly injured. The Qiang army was so scared that they were killed. In addition, their chief general was dead in the military fort, and the soldiers collapsed in a moment. The Qiang soldiers fled in scattered everywhere, and many soldiers had nowhere to escape. They knelt on the ground and surrendered, but were ruthlessly killed by the Han soldiers.

This time they did not accept prisoners of war and wanted to kill all the defenders in Dadubagu. In fact, the defenders had nowhere to escape. The north was cut off and retreated by soldiers who were ambushed in advance. Most of the soldiers fled to the south. There was a military camp to the south. They instinctively placed their last hope on that military camp.

But what greeted them were Han soldiers who came from the south. The soldiers sent by Ren Ping happened to intercept the defeated soldiers who fled south and slaughtered mercilessly. Liu Zheng led the soldiers to kill them, attacking them from both sides. In the end, the remaining soldiers were slaughtered in a scream.

The battle to capture the Great Battle Valley ended before the fifth update. All the battles were killed, and no one escaped. The fire in the valley to the south had gradually stopped. The soldiers endured the burnt smell and went into the valley to patrol, killing the enemy troops who had not died one by one without leaving any living.

At this time, a sentry outside the valley rushed over on a horse and clasped his fists at Liu Zheng and said, "Report to General Pang, General Pang, led a large group of cavalry, has arrived. Ten miles away, General Pang asked about the situation of the battle."

Liu Zheng ordered Ren Ping to clear the battlefield. He flew on his horse and led several brothers to urge the horse to run towards the valley. He ran for more than twenty miles. At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and thousands of rays of light shone among the mountains and ridges. In the distance were clouds that seemed to be burning, covered with snow-capped mountain tops, with golden light shining and magnificent.

In the distance, ten thousand Han cavalry lined up in the wilderness, facing the morning breeze, Pang De was immediately ahead, staring at the cavalry running from afar. He knew very well that seizing the Great Dou Bagu is the matter of the Eagle Strike Army. If the Five Eagle Strike Army takes action, they can seize any kind of pass. Their mission is to wait for the opportunity. Once the opportunity comes, he will lead ten thousand Han soldiers to kill from the Great Dou Bagu to Hexi.

At this time, several cavalrymen had already rushed to the outside of the stairs. Pang De recognized that the person he was Liu Zheng. He activated his war horse and went up to him.

.........

Just after the Han army captured the Great Doubagu, some changes occurred in Hexi. The people began to withdraw from Lingzhou to the north. On the official road east of Wuwei County, a vast stream of people and traffic was flowing to the northeast. The stream of people and traffic lasted for more than 20 miles, with as many as 70,000 to 80,000 people.

The traffic was mixed with countless horse and ox carts, and the carts were loaded with various daily necessities and food. The elderly and children sat in the car, while men and women sat in front to drive the vehicles. On both sides were civilians walking, not only Han people, but also many farming Qiang, Di people and Xiongnu people.

Following the cavalry and infantry on both sides of the crowd, looking vigilantly into the distance from time to time. This was the first batch of evacuated people in Wuwei County. Wuwei County and Hexi had the most cultivated land, and it was also the place where farmers were most concentrated, with more than 20,000 households.

In the past few months, the Hexi counties have been filled with a sense of uneasiness. The Qiang and Di people have attacked the farming Han people from time to time, occupied land, burned houses, and expelled them from their homes. From time to time, men and elderly people have been killed and women and children have been plundered, causing the whole thing to be

The Hexi area is full of tension.

Zhangye, Jiuquan, Han people and other farming ethnic groups continued to migrate to Wuwei County and Dunhuang County. Until a few days ago, the government sent officials to mobilize at the Han people's gatherings, demanding that Han people move north to Lingzhou.

There is no need for too much persuasion from officials. Everyone knows that the land they live in and cultivate is no longer safe, and the conflict between the Qiang and Di people and the Han people is becoming increasingly acute. If they do not leave, a large-scale killing against the Han people is about to begin.

People packed up their property, left their homes in ox carts and horse carriages, and migrated to Lingzhou thousands of miles away. This was the first batch of immigrants, and there would be a second batch and a second batch soon.

In front of the team, Wuwei County Magistrate Du Ji also rode a horse. His wife, children and mother were sitting in several carriages behind him. Du Ji was about fifty years old and from the Duling family in Jingzhao, he served as an official in the court twenty years ago. He was transferred to Wuwei County as a garrison since he was forty. This took ten years.

He was honest and upright, loved the people, and governed Weiwu County in an orderly manner and deeply loved by the people. He was also the minister that Liu Jing wanted to protect. Half a month ago, he was appointed as the minister of the rank of Shizhong and was preparing to take over Yin Mo's position, while the magistrate of Wuwei County was succeeded by the county magistrate Li Ji.

But Du Ji did not want to leave the people of Wuwei County at this critical moment. He insisted on staying, mobilizing the people to move, and personally rushed to Lingzhou to resettle his Wuwei people.

"Envoy Du, is the war going to start in Hexi?" Yang Qing, the deputy captain of the Han army who was responsible for escorting the people north, asked in a low voice.

Of course Du Ji knew it well, but now that Chang'an and Hexi have not turned against each other, he cannot easily say that war is about to break out. If these words come to Ma Chao's ears and force him to raise troops in advance, it may affect the deployment of the Daopingzhang platform.

Du Ji smiled and said, "I guess His Highness the King of Han wants to re-arrange the Qiang people in Hexi. With more herdsmen, at least half of them will be converted into farming. Some tribes will die. Therefore, there will be major changes in Hexi, and we have to give up the land."

"Whether those herders are willing to switch to farming, the plan is probably difficult to implement."

"They can't help it. If they don't change, they have to change. The Qiang people in Longxi and Hehuang have all changed, and they must also accept the reality."

Yang Qing nodded silently, and he knew in his heart that fighting against the Qiang people to the end would mean war.

At this time, another old man bowed and asked, "Du Shou, how much land we have in Lingzhou?"

Du Ji nodded to the old man, expressed respect, and explained with a smile: "As far as I know, Lingzhou has arranged land, all of which are fertile arable land, and there are water conservancy irrigation ditches. This summer, we can grow corn. I heard that each household can be divided into two hectares of land, which are all Yongye fields, which can be passed on to Suns. Of course, the premise is to enter households in Lingzhou and give up the land in Hexi."

"Can we still go back to Hexi?" the old man asked again.

"If the elderly have to go back, it's not impossible, but I want to say something clearly that in the future, the Qiang people will definitely be divided into part of the arable land in Hexi. If you have two hectares of land in Wuwei County now, there may be only one hectares in the future. Of course, you will also get some compensation, it depends on your choice."

The old man looked sad. He didn't want to leave Hexi, but if he wanted to divide his land, he could only stay in Lingzhou. At this time, he remembered something again and asked anxiously: "What about taxes in Lingzhou and Hexi?"

"Taxes are the same, and moving to Lingzhou will allow you to reduce taxes for two years."

Speaking of this, Du Ji asked with a smile: "The old man decided to stay in Lingzhou or return to Hexi."

The old man smiled and said, "If it was as the detention center said, I would rather stay in Lingzhou."

Du Ji raised his head and smiled, "This is a wise choice."

He looked back and saw that the team was in order, and everyone had a yearning for the future life on their faces. At this time, Du Ji was also full of hope for the future.
