Country and Beauty

Born of trouble, died of happiness. Ever since the Qin State's strongest enemy, the, had been defeated and escaped to the east, the Xiangping had not experienced any more wars. However, the weak nomads and hunters were most proficient at the law of the jungle, seeking for survival through the cracks.

Due to the strong fighting strength of the Qin Army, many of the people living in the Liaodong were not afraid of the wind. Not only did they not dare to provoke the Qin Army for revenge, they were even as obedient as their grandchildren. Over time, the vigilance of the Qin Army's garrison slowly faded.

When the Xiangping City's granary suddenly ignited, countless of citizens of the Qin State did not need to be summoned by the government. They directly carried buckets, wooden basins, and all sorts of utensils that could hold water, as well as hooks and brooms.

When the fire signal was spread throughout the Xiangping, the garrison generals of the Xiangping immediately gathered the troops. When they heard about the people surrounding the granary, they immediately rushed over to save the fire. Zhu Sheng revealed a faint smile, "The heavens are blessing my Great Qin. In the end, there are many loyal people in this world. Quickly advance, surround the fire, and take the lead to stop the spread of the fire so as not to harm the innocent people, and try to save the food as much as possible! "

The winter weather is dry and, if you are not careful, you will start a fire. Even if the granary was set on fire, Zhu Sheng didn't think of anything else.

Although the tranquil environment softened the Qin soldiers's vigilance, the hundred battle elites fighting in the east along with Xie Fei were gathering quickly. In just a few breaths, the two thousand odd soldiers of the first army of the Qin Army army arrived at the battlefield.

However, when the members of the 261st Battalion who were defending the city gates also rushed to the fire site, the spreading trend of the fire gradually calmed down, but Zhu Sheng's heart suddenly throbbed, he was unable to explain his reason for his worry.

"This fire is very strange. There is a clear sign of prohibition on fireworks near the grain. Normally, during the past six years when we were guarding the Xiangping, many fires would occur, but there has never been a fire near the grain warehouse. I felt that someone must have set fire to the place on purpose, so we had to be careful. The brothers from the 26th Battalion should return to the city gate to guard it. If we are to be careful and travel for ten thousand years, even ten percent of the food might not be saved. If the city is in the wrong again, then we will die a hundred times! "

When Zhu Sheng saw that there were no combustible materials around the food, he immediately became suspicious. He must be an old military officer, and he had a good eye for such things. Zhu Sheng saw what the Battalion Commander of the 26th Battalion said. At this time, Qin State was in a peaceful and prosperous world, so they had to be extra careful and not make the slightest mistake.

But just at this time, shouts of slaughter came from the direction of the mules and horses in the north side of the city. It was not only the commander of the 26th Battalion, Dong Qing's face changed at that moment, even Zhu Sheng had a grave expression on his face. Send a scout to check what's going on! "

Xiangping City had two half battalions of troops, for a total of six thousand people, and the one with the most military position was Cockroach. At this time, the Pingzhou thorny history Chen Qi also rushed over to the grain depot in a fluster!

Zhu Sheng looked at Chen Qi who was gasping for air and shouted, "Master Chen, there is Xiao Xiao in the city who is causing trouble, please give the order to immediately enforce the curfew, order all citizens to return home and not come out!"

After a while, he heard from the horse scout, "In the north city, there are people from the Ziegler and the Fujinluo Tribe fighting with Wu Huan for the horses."

Chen Qi then let out a sigh of relief, "Not bad, not bad, this is just a internal conflict for the captives, it has nothing to do with my Great Qin! I'm afraid General Zhu is overthinking things. The burning of the granary may have been an accident on the part of this humble one who did not abide by the rules. "

However, what Chen Qi said did not let Zhu Sheng relax his tensed heart. On the contrary, when Zhu Sheng heard this, his expression changed greatly, and his eyebrows knitted together, revealing a pondering look.

"General Chen, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Although the military and political branches of the Great Qin were not like the previous generations, they still had conflicts between the civil and military sides. Normally, the local officials had no right to ask about the military camps. As long as they could cooperate with the army, they would need to supply food and supplies. If they were in a difficult situation, the military could go straight to heaven through the original Ministry of War and now the Ministry of Defence. At the same time, as long as it was a war, the situation was the exact opposite. All the civil officials in the city had to be assigned to the military!

Chen QI sensed the change in Zhu Sheng's emotions and could not help but ask.

Zhu Sheng said: "I'm afraid it won't be that simple!"

As if it had confirmed Zhu Sheng's guess, at that moment, a soldier hurried to report, "Battalion Commander, our camp is on fire!" Zhu Sheng looked over, and a flame appeared in the distant 105th Battalion, causing Zhu Sheng's heart to thump. This time, in order to save the granary fire, he had brought almost everyone out, and only a few soldiers with almost no fighting strength remained in the camp. He shouted, "Liang Zhen!"

"This lowly general is here."

"Immediately light up the cannon and send the order. A kidnapping by a thief... Inform Dong Qing to close Weng City and have him guard the city gates tightly. No one is allowed to enter or leave! "

However, Zhu Sheng's order was still too late. Shi Le's sneak attack on the Xiangping City was a continuous trap, he had first set fire to the granary, lured the Qin Army to save him, then used the spies in the city to attack the long since empty military camp. He had opened the armory, and used over a thousand spies in the city to snatch the Qin Army's excellent equipment. These thousand plus people used Qin Army's Heaven Bombing grenade s to open up a path, attacking the city gate with crossbows and horizontal blades.

When Dong Qing led the 26th Battalion, just one Li away from the city gate, waves of murderous shouts came from the city gate.

At the city gate entrance, a shadow moved, a group of Shi Le soldiers wearing beast skin robes, holding horizontal blades, and striking with crossbows, were crazily slaughtering the weak Qin soldiers at the gate.

There were initially only 300-400 people defending the city gate, but Dong Qing had transferred 200 more people, and the remaining 100 odd people were caught off guard by the Shi Le Army who suddenly rushed out, although the Qin Army tried to resist, but it was all for naught, adding the disparity in strength, they could only retreat step by step.

When Dong Qing saw this, he was angered to the point of jumping up and down. He habitually ordered: "triple hit. Charge! "

"Battalion Commander." We don't have any crossbows, so how can we charge? "

Not to mention the crossbow, even the majority of the people did not carry the sword with them. However, Qin soldiers who followed the order did not care about whether or not there were any weapons, but with Dong Qing's order to charge, although they were unarmed, they still loyally carried out this foolish order.

A cold blade light flashed, and with two miserable cries, the two Qin soldiers s who were rushing the fastest were instantly chopped into four pieces.

Although they were unarmed, the Qin Army's charging power was not weakened at all. They clenched their teeth and threw themselves forward. There was no turning back now, and if they turned back and ran, then it was inevitable that the city gates would be lost. Moreover, there were more and more fires in the city, so it was impossible for there to be any enemy lying in ambush outside the city.

At the same time, Shi Le, who was outside the city gates, led five thousand cavalrymen and stood outside the city gates. Shi Hu was already very excited about the battle outside the city gates, but when she saw the light from the flames shooting into the sky, she became even more sinister.

"Ilya!"

"Your servant is here!"

Illyriah was a descendant of Ziche Lu. Back then, his merciful army of three hundred thousand had been flooded and attacked by Xie Fei outside the Chang'an City, and he had been completely annihilated. As for Eli Ali, he had become a general under Shi Hu's command. Shi Hu had a habit, he was an expert in martial arts, and amongst the generals under his command, her martial arts could not surpass Shi Hu's. Otherwise, she would be killed by Shi Hu.

"Pass down the order, you will lead your troops to attack the city gates. As long as you attack the Xiangping, we will send out the order for seven days!"

The so-called era of the PLA was a period where soldiers were allowed to commit adultery and looting.

After receiving the order, Ilya turned back to his original formation. He took off his thick leather robe, revealing the hair on his chest that looked like a chimpanzee. With the steel blade in hand, he rushed towards the city gate.

Although the Xiangping City tried its best to resist, how could she not be prepared?

Dong Qing was wearing a blood-stained battle robe, but he was helpless. He wholeheartedly wanted to save a few more grains of food, but he had left his duty without permission, causing him to suffer miserably.

Dong Qing felt his right arm go numb and he almost lost control of the blade. He sighed in his heart, [This guy is really strong!]

However, he didn't hesitate for even a moment. He took advantage of the enemy's staggering retreat to twist his body and snatch it into the enemy's arms. The saber in his left hand slashed across the enemy's arm, producing a saber cloud that tumbled and sent blood and flesh flying everywhere.

However, at this moment, the enemies from all directions had finally submerged him.

According to the records of "Qin Shi", twenty years after the Great Qin left Taiping, the Minister of the Xiangping fought with Dong Qing, with hundreds of bandits, and fought with full force against lily, yet she did not retreat. She bent her right leg, restricted herself to the formation of thieves, and brandished her blade at the enemy while shouting non-stop.

Dozens of Qin soldiers s inside the city gate cave were doing their utmost to resist against the thieves, but when a bandit army ignited a twenty-five jin catapult throwing Heaven Bombing grenade s into the array, there was a loud explosion. The fragments carried the human bodies and flew high into the air, causing the resistance inside the city gate to completely disappear!

Cockroach Zhu Sheng felt the ground tremble slightly as he shook his head dejectedly, "In the end, it's still too late!"

"There are a hundred ways to deal with the cavalry, but against the cavalry that can only go one way, one is enough." Zhu Sheng shouted: "Form a formation to meet the enemy!"

All the soldiers of the 105th Battalion abandoned the fire, which could not be saved. They used the door of the front gate, quilts, vegetable oil, and other combustible objects to stop the enemy with the fire on the main street of the front gate.

The blazing fire had finally stopped Shi Hu's army from continuing to enter. However, the Qin Army was powerless now. They had first lost their weapons. There were even many soldiers who did not wear any armor. After losing all their advantage in equipment, they were even caught unprepared by Shi Le's army.

Shi Hu saw that the cavalry soldiers who were stopped by the fire could not move an inch and were completely at a loss of what to do, but the sky had just started to brighten, causing Shi Hu to hesitate. If he was surrounded by reinforcements from the surrounding cities, all of her troops would have been annihilated. Shi Hu was very clear about the true combat power of the Qin Army.

Just as he was hesitating, the sky suddenly darkened. A cold wind blew past and the pitter-patter of rain began to fall. Heavens … Rain is falling from the sky! Heaven bless you! "

Shi Hu could not help but cry out of joy as the fire was slowly extinguished by the rain.

Zhu Sheng looked at Chen Qi who was also covered in dirt and said, "Master Chen, quickly organize the commoners to leave, the bandits will definitely massacre the city. It's a little bit hard to run, right? "

Chen Qi had a resolute expression on his face, "The Tribute to the King is Qin Chen, even if he dies, it is Qin Gui's responsibility. With the city here, no one will survive!"

Although the citizens and soldiers of Qin State fought with all they had, against strong enemies, their resistance was still too weak. After a day and a night of bloody battles, the five thousand soldiers of Xiangping City died in battle.

As a local official, Chen Qi led the citizens and continued to occupy a corner of the northeast part of Xiangping to resist, and in the end, all of them fell into Shi Hu's hands.

Shi Hu ordered for the looting of the entire city. Within the Xiangping City, men, women, the old and the weak, more than 30,000 citizens, most of them killed.

As Shi Hu had first destroyed the Beacon Platform within a hundred mile radius of Xiangping City, the news could not spread out. In the end, she had to rely on the citizens who escaped from the city to inform the First Legion Dragon City's garrison.

Seven days later, the garrison army of Dragon City arrived at Xiangping City, which was already in ruins. Corpses were strewn all over the city. The sight of the servants' heads piled up outside the city was shocking. On the contrary, Shi Hu arrogantly used human blood to write the words "Murderer Zhao Guoxing and King Shi Hu!".

However, the enemy had already escaped the Xiangping City.

The soldiers of the First Army were enraged, they sent scouts to all sides to investigate Shi Hu's whereabouts. At the same time, she mobilized her troops to surround and stop Shi Le's army.

With such a large scale movement, a loophole in Murong Ke's defense naturally appeared. She seized this opportunity and continuously flew towards the Yalu River at full speed. Yan State had a total of sixty thousand light cavalry soldiers. Then, Murong Ke took advantage of the moment when the Qin Army was chasing after Shi Hu to lead her troops to ambush the empty Wang Ping City.

When Qin Army got the Yan Jun to head north, they immediately sent troops to block him.

Murong Ke was currently on the run, completely utilizing the advantages of his guerrilla warfare. He split up her troops and pretended to attack Yi County (Changli County), but right now Yi County only had more than two thousand Guard, there were no regular troops at all. But in the short span of half a month, the Qin State had lost two cities. The First Army was afraid that Xie Fei would criticize them, so they had no choice but to give up on the idea of blocking Murong Ke.

A large part of the troops turned to Yi County for reinforcements.

But when the vanguard of the First Army reached Yi County, Murong Ke turned back to Dragon City (Morning Sun). As a result, the First Army was ambushed by Shi Hu when they moved into the morning sun, causing heavy losses. They could only be forced to passively defend. At this time, Murong Ke no longer had any intentions to continue playing. He sent Murong Yu, along with tens of thousands of weak and weak people, to circle around Liaodong s in the vicinity of Liaodong commandos.

The cavalry's speed advantage once again displayed their national characteristics of being good at roaming about. Although they could not defeat the Qin Army, they were still ordinary citizens who were also equipped with the Three Treasures of the Horse, and were able to break out of the encirclement. As for Qin soldiers, who did not have an absolute advantage in strength, after being bewitched by Murong Ke and Shi Hu with a few moves of the Greater Teleportation Technique, he was exhausted and could not unleash 50% of his strength normally.

At this time, Xie Fei who was in Chang An received the information from the Liaodong, so it was all his fault. The majority of the First Legion's troops were transferred to India, and right now, the First Legion only had a total of fifty thousand soldiers, to defend in such a big place, fifty thousand soldiers and horses was nothing.

Moreover, in order to deal with guerrilla warfare, only the Qin Army had the advantage in firearms. However, the large amount of cannons in active service had also been transferred to India by Xie Fei, so it would be difficult for the First Legion to encircle Murong Ke and Shi Hu with cold weapons.

At the same time, Xie Fei sighed endlessly. Shi Le was actually still an undefeatable cockroach, according to the history of Shi Le, he should have died from an illness. Xie Fei felt a headache.

The winter weather was cold, and the Qin Army was heavily dependent on supplies. However, the cold weather was a huge test for the supplies of the Qin Army. To launch a winter siege at this time was not worth it. As long as Xie Fei gave the order for the Union Army and army to send out mobile troops to support the First Army, they could expel Shi Hu and Murong Ke.
