Chapter 160 159 The tyranny of the Qin Empire!
In the Korean court, news came that the fact that five cities were quickly occupied by the Qin army shocked and disturbed everyone.In the court hall, the monarch and ministers gathered together to urgently discuss countermeasures.

An older minister said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Da Qin's military strength far exceeds our expectations. Their actions are swift and secretive, and we are almost unable to resist."

Another minister eagerly suggested: "We must send troops immediately to recapture the lost city. We cannot sit idly by and let Qin continue to invade our land."

The Korean monarch looked solemn. He felt unprecedented pressure: "Send troops to recapture it? Have you ever thought that our current military strength is no match for Great Qin. If we send troops again, it will only bring more losses to the country."

A young minister put forward a different view: "Your Majesty, I think we should send an envoy to Daqin to try to solve this problem peacefully. Perhaps we can find a solution acceptable to both parties through negotiation."

This suggestion aroused the support of some ministers, who all agreed: "Indeed, what we need most now is to avoid further conflicts. Peaceful negotiations with Da Qin may be our best choice at the moment."

However, another minister firmly opposed: "Peace negotiations? How can we bow to the invaders? This is not only a humiliation to our country, but also disloyal to our ancestors."

The king of South Korea thought for a long time and finally made a decision: "The most important thing for us now is to protect the security of the country and the lives of the people. I decided to send an envoy to Daqin to try to solve this problem peacefully. At the same time, we also need to strengthen national defense to prevent Da Qin’s further invasion.”

After the ministers heard the monarch's decision, although some still had objections, most of them expressed support: "Your Majesty is wise. We will fully support your Majesty's decision."

Subsequently, the Korean monarch summoned a group of experienced diplomats and counselors to prepare to send an envoy to Daqin.They hope to reduce losses as much as possible through diplomatic means and maintain the country's independence and dignity.

The leader of the mission was given a great responsibility. Before setting off, he swore to the king and the court: "I will do my best to strive for the greatest benefit for the country. I know the importance of this mission, and I will never To live up to His Majesty’s trust.”

The Korean envoys arrived at the first city occupied by the Qin army amid tension and uncertainty.Their purpose was to hold talks with Qin King Ying Zheng, hoping to resolve the conflict through diplomatic channels and regain at least part of the lost city.

However, when the envoys arrived at the city, they learned that King Qin Yingzheng had returned to Xianyang, and the man currently guarding the city was General Meng Tian.Although the envoys were a little disappointed, they still requested to meet with Meng Tian, ​​hoping to convey their demands through him.

Meng Tian received the Korean envoys.The leader of the mission, an elderly diplomat, respectfully expressed their purpose to Meng Tian: "General Meng Tian, ​​on the orders of the Korean monarch, we came to ask Da Qin to return some of the occupied cities. This is important for safeguarding the two countries. Peaceful relations between the two countries are of paramount importance."

Meng Tian pondered for a moment and replied: "Envoy, I understand your position, but these cities are equally important to Great Qin. We cannot give up easily."

The envoy said eagerly: "We are willing to provide corresponding compensation for this, whether it is gold, silver, treasures or land resources. We only hope that Da Qin can return part of the city."

Meng Tian shook his head and said in a firm but polite tone: "Your Excellency, the goal of Qin is to unify the world, and these cities are of great strategic significance to us. I cannot make a unilateral decision. However, I can ask King Qin Yingzheng Pass on your request, but I can’t guarantee the outcome.”

Another young official in the envoy group tried to propose another plan: "General Meng Tian, ​​if the Qin Dynasty is unwilling to return these cities, can we consider allowing our people to evacuate safely? We don't want them to suffer in the war. "

Meng Tian thought about it for a while, and finally nodded in agreement: "I can agree to this request. We in Great Qin do not want innocent people to be harmed. I will give an order to allow your people to evacuate safely."

The leader of the envoy group bowed deeply and expressed his gratitude: "General Meng Tian, ​​thank you very much for your generosity and understanding. We will arrange for the evacuation of the people immediately."

Meng Tian responded: "I will convey your request to King Qin Yingzheng, but the final decision-making power rests with him. Please wait patiently for our reply after your envoy returns."

Before leaving, the envoys once again expressed their gratitude to Meng Tian.Although they did not achieve their goal of returning the city, they at least ensured the safety of the people.

Meng Tian watched the envoys leave, knowing in his heart that this war was far from over.He immediately sent a messenger to report the request of the Korean envoys and his decision to King Qin Yingzheng, and was ready to receive new instructions at any time.

After the Korean envoys returned to the capital, they immediately reported their meeting with Meng Tian to the monarch and the court.They detailed Meng Tian's attitude and decisions, as well as their failure to achieve their goal of returning the city.

After listening to the envoy's report, the monarch looked solemn: "The situation we face is more severe than we imagined. Although General Meng Tian of Great Qin showed a certain understanding of us, their goal is obviously to defend these cities."

One minister said worriedly: "Your Majesty, if this continues, our country will face greater threats. Da Qin's military is so powerful that it will be difficult for us to resist."

The Korean monarch pondered, and then made a decision: "We are temporarily unable to confront Da Qin militarily. We need to stabilize the domestic situation and look for foreign aid at the same time. Maybe there will be a turnaround."

At the same time, in an occupied city in Da Qin, after Meng Tian received the news that the envoys had left, he immediately summoned his generals and began to arrange a new night attack plan.

Meng Tian stood in front of the strategic map and explained his plan to the generals: "The domestic situation in South Korea is now turbulent, and we need to strengthen our offensive to further consolidate our advantages. We will continue to attack at night to capture more cities."

A deputy general asked: "Commander, should we still use the previous night attack strategy?"

Meng Tian answered affirmatively: "Yes, we will continue to use night and concealment to conduct rapid raids. Our goal is to quickly occupy the city without the enemy knowing anything."

That night, the Qin Imperial Army acted according to Meng Tian's plan.They divided into several groups and quietly approached the target city.At the darkest moment, they launched a swift attack.

The city's defenders were caught off guard by the sudden night attack. The Qin Imperial Army used their advantages to quickly break through the city wall's defenses.Meng Tian personally led the main attack group. They passed through the gaps in the city wall almost silently and quickly occupied key defensive positions.

At the east gate of a city, Meng Tian and his men encountered stubborn resistance.

When the Qin Imperial Army, under the command of Meng Tian, ​​approached the target city, they encountered unexpected resistance.Although the defenders on the city wall did not have a numerical advantage, they relied on the defensive advantages of the city wall to resist the offensive of the Forbidden Army.

After observing the defense of the city wall, Meng Tian immediately ordered: "Divide into three groups, launch attacks on the left and right wings at the same time, and the main force will break through from the front. We must capture this city before dawn."

The Forbidden Army quickly acted according to Meng Tian's instructions.A captain of the Forbidden Army asked: "Commander, the arrow rain on the city wall is very dense, how can we break through?"

Meng Tian replied calmly: "Use the shield to resist the arrows, and the team will move forward together. At the same time, have the team holding the Explosive Flame Talisman and Smoke Talisman ready to activate as soon as they approach the city wall."

The Imperial Guard team slowly approached the city wall using shields and cover of night.The defenders on the city wall discovered the movements of the Forbidden Army and began to intensify their shooting.Arrows rained down like a torrential rain, but the Imperial Guards relied on their strong shields and tacit cooperation to successfully withstand most of the attacks.The captain of a team shouted an order: "Now, activate the explosive fire talisman and smoke talisman!"

As the order was given, a series of explosions and thick smoke quickly formed under the city wall.The violent explosion produced by the Explosive Flame Talisman shook the city wall, and at the same time, the thick smoke produced by the Smoke Talisman obscured the line of sight, providing cover for the Forbidden Army to advance.

Seeing that the time had come, Meng Tian shouted loudly: "The whole army attacks and seizes the tower quickly!"

Amid explosions and thick smoke, the Imperial Guards launched a fierce attack on the city wall.Using ladders and climbing tools, they quickly scaled the city wall and launched a fierce close battle with the defenders on the wall.

The battle on the city wall was extremely fierce.The defenders resisted desperately, but the Forbidden Army, under the command of Meng Tian, ​​showed efficient combat effectiveness.After a period of fierce fighting, the Imperial Army, led by Meng Tian, ​​finally captured the city tower and controlled key locations on the city wall.

Meng Tian overlooked the city from the top of the city tower and ordered to the deputy general: "Immediately send an order to the entire army to quickly control the city gates and fortresses without leaving any blind spots."

The Forbidden Army acted quickly, following Meng Tian's instructions, and quickly took control of key locations in the city.Their actions were efficient and orderly, and they quickly completely dismantled the city's defenses.

As the sky gradually grew brighter, the resistance of the defenders in the city weakened significantly after losing the protection of the city wall.The Imperial Guard took advantage of this and eventually took control of the entire city.

When the first ray of morning light illuminated the city wall, the flag of Da Qin was already flying on the city tower.

As news of Meng Tian's successful night attack and rapid occupation of the city spread back to the Korean capital, the Korean monarchs and courtiers felt an unprecedented crisis.At the urgent meeting, the atmosphere was tense and heavy.

A senior South Korean general stood up and said resolutely: "Your Majesty, we can no longer sit idly by. Meng Tian's actions have seriously threatened our national security. We must immediately mobilize the national army to encircle and suppress Meng Tian."

The monarch pondered and asked: "Do you think we have enough strength to fight against the Imperial Army of Qin?"

The general replied: "Although the Qin army is strong, if we gather the strength of the whole country, we will at least be able to fight. We cannot lose more land and people."

A veteran minister said worriedly: "But this is extremely risky. Once it fails, our country will face an even greater disaster."

The monarch was silent for a while, and finally made a decision: "We must defend our country. Immediately order all parts of the country to assemble troops to prepare for the encirclement and suppression of Meng Tian. At the same time, strengthen domestic defenses and prepare for further attacks by Da Qin."

Subsequently, South Korea began intense military mobilization.Soldiers and generals from all over the country began to gather to prepare for a counterattack against the Qin Forbidden Army.Military supplies and equipment are also being deployed urgently, and the entire country has entered an unprecedented state of war preparation.

At the same time, in the city occupied by Meng Tian, ​​Meng Tian learned that South Korea was preparing to encircle and suppress him.He didn't show any alarm, but instead smiled.

Meng Tian said to his lieutenant: "This is exactly what I expected. South Korea will not sit still and wait for death. However, this is our opportunity to further expand our results."

The deputy general asked: "Commander, should we prepare for a battle?"

Meng Tian replied calmly: "Of course, we must be fully prepared. Strengthen the defense of the city, and at the same time send out a reconnaissance team to closely monitor the movements of the Korean army. We must pre-emptively strike before they attack."

Immediately, Meng Tian issued a series of orders to strengthen the city's defense, and at the same time sent an elite reconnaissance team deep into the enemy's territory to collect the movements and information of the Korean army.

A reconnaissance captain reported to Meng Tian: "Commander, we have grasped the assembly point and marching route of the South Korean army. They seem to be preparing to attack us from the east."

After hearing this, Meng Tian nodded slightly: "Very good, we are going to use this information to set up an ambush. Prepare our archers and talisman masters. I want to let the Korean army know that their actions are completely under our control." .”

Under Meng Tian's careful deployment, the Qin Imperial Army began secret formations and ambush preparations.They took advantage of the terrain and darkness to ambush on the routes that the Korean army must pass, waiting for the enemy's arrival.

At the ambush site deployed by Meng Tian, ​​the soldiers of the Qin Forbidden Army hid in the forests and hills, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Korean army.Each of them was tense and ready to attack at any time.

Meng Tian stood at a hidden observation point, his eyes firm, silently calculating the time and the enemy's possible actions.The deputy general beside him asked in a low voice: "Commander, when do you think the Korean army will arrive?"

Meng Tian replied: "According to our reconnaissance, they should be arriving soon. Our deployment is ready, just waiting for them to enter."

As time passed by, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.Suddenly, the faint sound of horse hooves and human voices came from the distance. Meng Tian immediately became alert and signaled the soldiers around him to stay quiet.

Soon after, the huge team of the South Korean army finally appeared in sight.Their procession passed through the valley in a long line, the soldiers' equipment and flags shining in the sun, looking magnificent and majestic.

Meng Tian carefully observed the progress of the Korean army and whispered to the lieutenant: "They don't seem to be aware of our ambush. Be ready, and we will launch an attack immediately after they enter the best attack range."

As the Korean army continued to approach, Meng Tian's eyes shone with calmness and determination.He raised his hand as a signal to attack.

In an instant, the Great Qin Imperial Army suddenly launched an attack like a lurking beast.Arrows rained at the Korean army from all directions, and at the same time, special forces carrying talismans also launched their special attacks.

The South Korean army was caught off guard by the sudden attack.Their ranks fell into chaos, with soldiers fleeing in all directions, trying to find cover.

Meng Tian commanded the Forbidden Army to continue to increase their offensive.He shouted to the generals around him: "Don't relax, continue to press and cut off their retreat!"

The Custodes' attacks were accurate and violent, taking full advantage of the terrain and ambush tactics.Although the South Korean army was large in number, it was unable to effectively organize resistance under a sudden attack.
