Da Qin: We just traveled through time and you proclaimed yourself emperor in Rome

Chapter 149 National War Comes to a Year

"Your Majesty, there are too many people freezing to death. In order to allow them to use more of their remaining heat, we should give them some clothes." Alexander Yun stood next to Ying Tian and said unbearably.

The thuds of falling to the ground that rang in her ears from time to time made her heart tremble.

There were so many people freezing to death that the ground was almost filled.

It's not that these people don't want to resist, but there are many black-armored soldiers around to suppress the unrest, and they are unarmed, so they can't resist.

"Cough cough..."

Ying Tian reached out and touched his nose. He looked at the slave below and at Alexander Yun. For some reason, a funny idea suddenly came to his mind.

Why do you look like the villain so much?
It seems that Alexander Yun is the positive character!
Immediately, he became angry.

"Wearing heavy clothes will affect your mobility. How can you continue to build the imperial tomb for me?"

Ying Tian may seem cruel, but this was the norm in ancient times. The methods used by Westerners when they attacked the Parthian Empire were many times crueler than they are now.

"Go down with my order and supervise the frontline soldiers. It's been so long. Why haven't you wiped out the Carthage Kingdom? A bunch of losers." Ying Tian said dissatisfied.

The soldiers on both sides quickly took orders and left.

It was hard to beat Carthage to the ground. If we didn't take advantage of his illness to kill him, it would be difficult to destroy him again after he regained his breath.

Even if the mountains were closed due to heavy snow, he would not miss the opportunity.

Naturally, everyone in the live broadcast room didn't know what was going on in Ying Tian's mind. They only thought that he was deliberately torturing the soldiers. The people in the Pasta Country were furious and yelled.

Unexpectedly, after only half a month of comfort, there would be trouble again.

The Turks began to worry.

I thought I could develop technology during the winter and have the possibility of counterattack, but I didn't expect that Ying Laoliu wouldn't give them a chance.

After Ying Tian arranged the order, he didn't say anything more. He lay in the arms of the Roman princess and lazily looked at the slaves coming and going under the city.

Although he gave the order, he also knew that there was a high probability that it would be impossible to execute it.

The Romans on the front line were not fools and could not attack at the risk of freezing to death.

In this battle, in order to reduce the casualties of the Lao Qin people, all the Roman soldiers were sent out, and the Lao Qin people did not go with the army.

Moreover, the snow was so heavy that it was difficult to walk even an inch.

"Ugh."

Ying Tian sighed, bundled up and put on his clothes, and the days returned to calm again.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed by.

Unconsciously, it has been a year since the National War System came.

Everyone who is still alive in the world is slightly in a daze. Someone counted 190 seven countries. After this year, only 110 are left.

There are four that can barely be considered top powers, the Qin Dynasty, the Mauryan Dynasty, the Parthian Empire, and the Macedonian Empire.

There are quite a few second-tier forces, more than a dozen of them.

Most of the rest are at the bottom.

As for the living population, there are still more than [-] billion people left, and nearly one billion people have been killed!
It seems that there are still many people alive, but among them are newborns, and this is only the first year, who knows what will happen next.

A large portion of the eight billion people were branded slaves, thanks to the title of Great Qin, otherwise the number of deaths would probably have doubled.

As for the fate of modern people who are marked as slaves by the system, no one knows.

After this year of development, the science and technology of all parties will also undergo significant changes. Among them, the fastest growing one is the Parthian Empire, which has realized the popularization of iron tools on a large scale.

In addition, a hundred-mile railway and a steam train were built!
But this is only the largest scientific and technological power on the surface. The other countries have not been exposed and are unknown.

However, some people have raised suspicions that the technology of the Parthian Empire may be deliberately displayed for people to see, and there may be stronger inventions secretly coming out.

No one is a fool, and it is impossible to put everything out there for others to see.

Everyone has not forgotten that Great Qin invented the steamship when they traveled to the second month. After all this time, Meng Tian's figure that day is still unforgettable.

The only pity is that no force can invent the engine.

This kind of precision instrument has too high requirements for equipment, and the current technology in ancient times is too restrictive.

Everyone doesn't feel much about this, since everyone can't develop anyway.

It is worth mentioning that.

When winter came, Meng Tian and others did not stop. From time to time, they braved the heavy snow to harass the Maurya Dynasty, which caused great trouble to Ashoka and almost collapsed him.

With one order, millions of troops surrounded Meng Tian!

However, when the soldiers who were sent out saw that the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, they all went on strike and found a place to rest on the spot, claiming that they would not take action no matter what.

After Asoka learned the news, he almost died suddenly in the main hall.

Later, he put a knife to his neck and found a group of people to suppress Meng Tian. Unfortunately, the number was too small to cause substantial harm.

It was not without gain. The people sent out discovered several places where Meng Tian and others had hidden their hot air balloons, and destroyed them all, leaving Meng Tian and others with nowhere to escape.

It was only a matter of time before he was caught.

In ancient times, which was almost static, there was a force that was slowly advancing like ants.

The Maurya border, a hundred kilometers away.

The heavy snow suddenly collapsed, and a human head poked out from inside, followed by silhouettes one after another.

"This heavy snowfall comes at the wrong time."

Wang Jian jumped lightly and landed on a mountaintop. He held a telescope in his hand and looked at the white peaks in the distance, his brows almost furrowed into a frown.

It is true that the Qin soldiers are physically strong, but the snow was too heavy, which more or less hindered them.

"I have given my general's order to go down and rest on the spot for two days. After two days, we will take advantage of the heavy snow to launch an attack on the Maurya Dynasty." Wang Jian waved his hand, called for the messengers, and gave instructions in a low voice.

This heavy snow disrupted the plan, but at the same time it also provided them with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if Ashoka was killed, he would never have thought that he would come here at this time.

"Here."

The messenger said respectfully.

Soon, the soldiers divided the work and cooperated. Some took out the stove, some took out the tent, and some took out the dried meat.

The white tents are connected to each other. Against the backdrop of the white snow, it is completely invisible, as if there is something that can completely hide the figures of the soldiers.

"Strange, the temperature this winter seems to be lower than in previous years?" Wang Jian reached into the snowdrift. After feeling it for a moment, his face was full of doubts. He didn't know if it was an illusion.

Due to the substantial improvement in physical fitness, I didn't feel cold along the way, but at that moment, I felt that the snowflakes were a little unusual.

"Maybe it's an illusion."

Wang Jian pondered for a moment, arranged for patrols, and found a tent to rest.

The war will begin in two days. Before then, sufficient energy must be ensured.

There were several soldiers in white armor lying on the ground, blending into the snow, guarding the surroundings vigilantly.

This time Great Qin dispatched nearly 200 million people, divided into ten teams, advancing from different directions, and he only led one of them.

……

Kingdom of Carthage.

"Winter will end in one month. Although the time is a little rushed, it is enough. As long as the refined iron production is increased, Rome will definitely be able to deal a fatal blow!"

The head of the Di family clenched his fists and sat alone in the main hall. Looking at the two empty seats next to him, a trace of confusion flashed deep in his eyes.

When we were together, there were many conflicts of interest and mutual calculations, but after having been with you for so many years, we already had a deep relationship. It felt very uncomfortable for the two of them to die suddenly in battle.

As for Luo Fan, it was gone when it was gone. He never took it seriously.

"Ying Tian, ​​don't worry, I will definitely make you pay the price. It's all you, you are the cause of all this."

The head of the Di family punched the snowdrift in front of him, his eyes turning red.

I originally thought that I would die in the battle soon, and the entire Carthage would be destroyed, but I didn't expect that the heavy snow would turn around and give me a chance to turn around.

call!
The head of the Di family took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, put on his clothes, and pushed out the door.

There were several blast furnaces standing outside the palace, and a blacksmith was working there with his shirtless body on. Everyone was holding their breath in their hearts, unwilling to admit defeat.The fate of many forces has changed because of this heavy snow.

Take advantage of this rare period to develop technology crazily.

Everyone has a premonition that after winter is over, war will break out completely.

This year, casualties have not been large. The fundamental reason is that except for Da Qin, other forces' cold weapons are very backward and will not cause too many casualties.

But with iron tools, it's different. It's almost fatal.

……

Pyramid country.

"When will this winter end? It's so annoying." Wang Li sat on the city wall, holding his head in his hands and looking into the distance, his face full of dissatisfaction.

He had made arrangements for the Pyramid Kingdom a month ago and was about to lead his troops back to Rome. However, he did not expect that heavy snow would cover the sky, making it difficult to move.

The thickest part of the snow was nearly four meters. The war horses could not move forward at all and could only stay here.

I have also thought about using a sled, but where can I find such a high-tech thing...

After all, it doesn’t have to be a dog to be called a sled dog, it must be trained strictly.

"General!"

When Wang Li was lost in thought, a rough voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

He rolled his eyes without raising his head, too lazy to respond.

During this period of time, Long Qi went hunting when he had nothing to do, and ate barbecue when he had nothing to do, so that he felt a little nauseated by meat.

"General Wang, guess who I caught, haha, this is a really big fish!"

Long Qie held the two big holes left on the city wall with his hands, jumped up slightly, and jumped up from the city wall with a sack on his shoulders.

"I've caught it. Who can't catch a time traveler, right?" Wang Li said casually.

Long Qie couldn't help showing admiration and said, "Hey, General, you really have a good eye!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to tear the sack open and poured out the people inside.

Wang Li was startled, unable to react, and looked subconsciously. After seeing this person, his pupils shrank slightly, and he recognized this person's identity, Luo Fan, the time traveler from Carthage!
When he was in Da Qin, Ying Tian described this person's appearance, so he had some impressions.

"Hey, don't fall to the ground and pretend to be dead, get up quickly."

Long Qie kicked Luo Fan and said dissatisfiedly.

However, after two consecutive kicks, Luo Fan remained motionless.

There was a slight thump in my heart, and I had a bad premonition. I quickly bent down and picked up Luo Fan from the ground. I stretched out my hand to feel him for a moment, then smiled awkwardly.
"General, I'm sorry. When I came back from outside just now, I forgot to keep warm. This guy froze into ice."

He was hunting in the snow just now, and unexpectedly ran into Luo Fan, so he simply brought him back as a prey, but he forgot that the two of them had different physiques, so Luo Fan froze to death.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter, as long as you die, then your Majesty will kill the head of the Di family and we will win." Wang Li waved his hand disapprovingly.

There are many small forces around, and you can go back and deal with any one you want.

Naturally, he did not forget Ying Tian’s instructions.

now.

Carthage's live broadcast room turned black.

Countless native people clenched their fists, their faces full of grief and anger.

After Luo Fan escaped from Carthage, he was confused and had no idea where he was going. He was scurrying around like a headless fly under the pursuit of all the surrounding forces.

Later, I heard that the travelers from the Pyramid Country were beheaded, and I thought of having fun under the lights, so I ran away in the direction of the Pyramid Country.

Because a war was breaking out in the Pyramid Kingdom at the time, he actually escaped, but he didn't expect that he would be caught by Long Qie and freeze to death.

"General, this winter has lasted for two months, and the heavy snow has not stopped. Is it going to continue?" Long Qie scratched his head and asked in a naive voice.

Even he couldn't help but wrap himself in the animal skin robe.

"Is it always so cold in the West, or is this the first year?" Wang Li waved and called Anur, who was waiting respectfully next to him.

After the Pyramid Kingdom was destroyed, everyone became slaves of the Qin Dynasty. Once they had thoughts of betrayal, they would be wiped out by the system, so he did not kill Anur.

"Reporting to the general, it seems to be extremely cold this year. I have never encountered such bad weather since the villain was born." Anu'er said with a pale face.

It was not because Wang Li was frightened, but because he was frozen like this.

Wang Li and Long Qi are from the Qin Dynasty, and their physical fitness has increased by as much as 118 points. Unlike the Pyramid Kingdom, from the advent of the national war system to the present, not even a small force has been destroyed, and has not received any rewards.

Whether it is the ability to withstand the cold or the body's defense, it is far inferior.

Wang Li was startled, quickly stood up, came to Anur's side, stretched out his hand to lift the cotton coat, and put it on his skin. After feeling it for a while, he looked thoughtful.

It is almost 100% certain that this winter is indeed abnormal.

If it is an ordinary snowy day, human skin will never be as frozen as ice cubes. It will still be warm no matter what.

"Maybe it's because of the advent of the National War System that the weather has changed." Wang Li narrowed his eyes slightly and said thoughtfully.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind that shocked even himself.

190 The seven forces not only fight each other, but also fight in this world!

In order to prevent some small forces from hiding, the national war system changes the environment. In this way, those forces that are hiding will be frozen into ice cubes if they do not gain physical strength.

"I originally wanted to take a rest for a while, but it seems that this general has been a little careless. This war must continue." After thinking about all this, Wang Li's pupils burst into light.

He coldly ordered: "I'll go after this general's order. Gather everyone in the Pyramid Castle to smelt iron non-stop every day from today on."

After ordering people to take Anur down, he went to the side hall in person, picked up the hammer and started to strike.

In this battle, the Qin people were more or less damaged, whether it was armor or weapons, they all needed to be repaired.

Fortunately, there are a lot of ore raw materials in the pyramid treasury, so there is no need to brave the wind and snow to mine.

At this moment, if someone stands in the sky and looks down, he will find that almost the entire planet, whether in the temperate zone or the tropics, is covered in heavy snow.

The originally blue planet turned completely white.

There was no snow in later generations, so the various forces did not discover the strangeness of ancient times.

Moreover, they also hope that the snow will continue to fall, so that they can avoid war and live longer. They do not know that many people will freeze to death this winter.

The place where the time traveler is is the imperial city of all forces, and the villages and city-states under it are far away from the capital. The mountains are blocked by heavy snow, and the news cannot be spread.

But if you investigate, you will find that almost one level of people from those small forces froze to death.

This heavy snowfall lasted two full months longer than Ying Tian expected, and it did not stop until the third month of spring.

"Has it finally stopped?"

Ying Tian stood on the Roman city wall, looking leisurely into the distance.

If the heavy snow continues, I am really afraid that all the Romans will freeze to death.

During this period, in the cold winter months, slaves were transported from various Roman city-states for the third time.

More than 200 million slaves froze to death.

This is only the Roman Imperial City that was frozen to death. There may be more casualties on the battlefield and those building canals.

In addition, some people who did nothing would also freeze to death. Rome, like the Pyramid Kingdom, had never received any rewards from beginning to end, so the people's physical condition was naturally very poor.

In addition, various facilities in ancient times were backward, so it was normal that they could not survive.

"The real war is finally coming." Zhang Jiuli said with emotion beside Ying Tian.

Today's weather is much better than before. The sun is high in the sky and shining on the earth, making the slaves who are carrying huge stones to build the Qin II Emperor's Mausoleum and Qin II Statue ecstatic.

For them, this is not sunshine, but the dawn of hope!
call!
Alexander Yun let out a long breath and secretly said, finally no more people need to die.

It's a pity that after all this time, Ying Tian still hasn't been poisoned to death.
"This year's winter is colder than before and lasts longer than before. Perhaps summer will also be much hotter than imagined."

Ying Tian stretched out his hand, crumpled the snowflakes on the city wall into a ball, casually smashed it on Alexander Yun's head, and whispered to himself.

Not only Wang Li, he also realized this problem.
