This was because these cavalrymen were all heavily armored.
This kind of cavalry only appeared hundreds of years later during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Its full name was the armored cavalry equipment, but it was generally called armored cavalry.
Li Xin didn't expect that there would be such well-equipped cavalry in this giant city.
The sudden appearance of this city in front of him really gave him a great shock.
Just as Li Xin and Meng Tian were shocked, Mu Guiying, who had led her troops out of the city, was also sizing them up.
Li Xin and Meng Tian were generals. The armor they wore was definitely different from the horses they rode, especially Li Xin's armor. Although Mu Guiying was a woman, she was not afraid at all. She rode her horse forward and shouted,"Who are you? State your name."
Li Xin and Meng Tian looked at each other and saw great surprise in each other's eyes.
Mu Guiying looked like a young woman in her twenties, but she had such courage and boldness. Her temperament was also extraordinary. She was indeed a woman who could leave a deep impression on people at first sight.
They had never heard of such a woman in Great Qin.
Li Xin waved his cloak and rode his horse forward. He slowly came to a place about 50 meters away from Mu Guiying and looked at her,"I am the Great General of the current dynasty, Li Xin. In the name of the First Emperor, I went north to sweep away the remnants of the Xiongnu. Who are you?”
Mu Guiying cupped her hands and said," So it's General Li Xin. We were originally Qin people from Mobei. We migrated here from Mobei and settled down here a few months ago. I wonder why Great General Li Xin brought his troops to our Wannian City?”
Hearing this, Li Xin was stunned. Mobei, could it be that there were still Qin people in Mobei?
The area in the north of the desert had always been the territory of Xiongnu, Righteous Qu, Wu's Kingdom, and Rong Di. It was the Mongolian Plateau in the later generations. It was 1,500 meters above sea level.
The south was bounded by the Gobi Desert, while the east was about the Keluolun River, and the west was the Hangai Mountains and the Altaic Mountains.
It could also be said that the Northern Desert was extremely far away from Great Qin, and no one had led an army to that place yet. As such, when Li Xin heard this, he was quite shocked.
There were actually still so many Qin people living in the far north of the desert. The number was really not small.
Just look at the guards on the city gate tower of Ten Thousand Year City. There were no less than ten thousand people.
How did these Qin people survive in the wilderness surrounded by the Xiongnu people in the north of the desert and still maintain such a large ethnic group?
Moreover, they had not been assimilated by the tribes of the grasslands.
"Why can't there be Qin people in the north of the desert?" Mu Guiying said lightly. During the years of war between the Yiqu Kingdom and Great Qin, many Qin people were captured, and our ancestors were one of them.”
"However, after the Yiqu Kingdom was destroyed, we established our own tribe. We have always lived in the north of the desert. The land there is vast and the population is sparse. It is not easy for the Xiongnu to find us, so we rested there.”
"A year ago, we heard that the Qin general Meng Tian had defeated the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu suffered a great loss, so we went south with our clan and came here to build our own city.”
What Mu Guiying was saying now was all taught by Ying Jing.
Ying Jing knew that with Great Qin's current strength, it would not be able to extend its hand to the northern side of the desert.
Li Xin was a bit dumbfounded when he heard these words.
Mu Guiying's words made him feel like he was listening to someone else's story.
However, he did not have any evidence to refute whether the other party was telling the truth or not.
After thinking for a moment, Li Xin asked,""Since you all know that the Xiongnu have been crippled by Great Qin, and you've all gone south, don't you know that Great Qin has already unified the world?”
"Why did you choose to build your own City here? Why didn't you choose to return to Great Qin? Great Qin is the world that we Qin people and the Chinese people built.”
Mu Guiying said," Of course, we know that Great Qin has already unified the world and have thought about returning to Great Qin. However, our tribe has been outside for more than 100 years, and we are already used to this lifestyle.”
"Returning to Great Qin means that we have to accept the arrangements of the Great Qin Imperial Court. Our people are used to being free, so we've decided to rebuild our territory here.”
"Moreover, this place doesn't seem to be within the Great Qin Dynasty's territory. If we build our own place here, it won't affect Great Qin, right?”
Hearing this, Li Xin snorted and said,""Who said that this place isn't Great Qin's territory? Haven't you heard of this saying before? The whole world is the land of the king, and the coast of the land is the subject of the king.”
"All the territories in this world belong to Great Qin.”
"Without Great Qin's permission, who allowed you to build a City here?”
Hearing this, Mu Guiying sneered and said,"The entire world is the land of the king, and the shores of the land are the subjects of the king?”
"All of the territories in this world belong to Great Qin? You might have to ask the land under your feet if it agrees or not.”
"You still have to ask the Xiongnu people and the people of the Western Regions if they agree!”
"You still have to ask the other countries in the world if they agree!”
Li Xin said proudly," If they don't agree, then Great Qin will beat them until they agree. Right now, the arrogant Xiongnu people are nothing but stray dogs under the swords of Great Qin's elite soldiers. Those countries in the Western Regions will all submit to Great Qin's cavalry!”
"Ask yourself, which country in the world dares to disobey the orders of the First Emperor of Great Qin?”
"If any of the countries in the world dare to disagree, Great Qin's elite soldiers will kill them until they agree.”
"General, do you mean that the purpose of your visit today is to declare war on us?" Mu Guiying snorted coldly. Then come over and see if we're afraid of you.”
Hearing this, Li Xin had a disdainful expression and said,""Great Qin's elite soldiers, the Qin Sword, do not wish to kill Qin people, and this General does not wish to make things difficult for you. After all, you are all citizens of Great Qin. If you choose to submit to Great Qin and accept the management of Great Qin's officials, this General will report to the Imperial Court for permission to allow you to live here.”
Hearing this, Mu Guiying asked coldly,""What qualifications do you have?"
Li Xin waved his hand and pointed at the 100,000 Qin soldiers behind him,""Just because I have 100,000 Qin soldiers and am Great Qin's Great General, if you dare to disobey, my 100,000 soldiers will definitely sweep through this city.”
"You're threatening me!" Mu Guiying said angrily.”
Li Xin smiled disdainfully and waved his hand at the Wannian City, causing the military flag to flutter.
The 100,000 soldiers behind Li Xin took five steps forward.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
