Chapter 420: God, There Is Only One
Three months later, more than 400,000 people gathered outside Shouchun, the original capital of Chu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The dense crowd, looking from a distance, seems to make this retreating glorious national capital once again glow with new vitality.
However, this is just a floating illusion after all, and the more than 400,000 people, except for the seventy or eighty thousand Qin troops, most of the rest are civilians with some shabby clothes.
After a lapse of three months, with the help of the Baiyue map, Zheng Guo's survey of Baiyue hydrology is also close to completion. Among these commoners, the strong men will be responsible for digging the canals, and their families will start a new life as the new people of the land of Baiyue.
In the noisy crowd, apart from the clanging of utensils, only the cries of women and children remained.
"Let's go!"
With the order of the Qin army commander at the front, the dense crowd, like ants, marched towards the vast green sea.
The long mountain road and rugged road are not only difficult to walk, but also a person who will fall into the cliff if he is not careful.
Originally, the Qin army only needed 20 days to complete the journey, but these 400,000 people walked for nearly two months.
Fortunately, after the arrival of these 400,000 people, the hot summer days gradually began to be replaced by the cool autumn wind. The people will not suffer from heat stroke because of the hot weather.
The huge imperial machine, under the strict law, the speed is even more terrifying.
What's more, this time the spirit canal, as well as the Gongyi family's trap beasts to help dig and transport soil, the efficiency is even more terrifying.
And those Baiyue people who are still "persevering" in the deep mountains and old forests to do the great cause of opposing Qin naturally also see every move of the Qin people.
"Chief, the speed at which the Qin people dig mountains and earth is getting faster and faster, this will cause the wrath of the mountain gods and river gods, and they must be stopped!"
Between the mountains and forests, in a simple cottage, the priest with a lacquered tooth tattoo, waiting for scarlet eyes, said to the leader of Yangyue who knelt on the ground.
"High Priest, the barracks of the Qin army that we have just attacked on a large scale a month ago have suffered a lot of losses, let's wait a while......" The leader said with some embarrassment.
When the high priest heard this, he turned his head suddenly, almost against the leader's face, revealing a mouthful of dark teeth, and said fiercely: "Do you want to be punished by the gods!" ”
"No, no, don't dare to ......," said the chief, apparently taken aback.
"Then go!" The high priest said coldly.
"Yes! Yes, sir! ”
The leader who had fled in the desert began to gather his henchmen in a somewhat embarrassed manner. However, that sullen look could not be retreated for a long time.
In the past, although the priesthood was exalted among the clans, he also had a lot of power as a leader.
However, since the defeat to the Qin State, the priest who was still respectful to him seemed to have changed as a person. In just a few months, it was as if he had become a slave to the priests. Have somebody at one's beck and call.
However, he still did not dare to resist. Because, the priests are the only bridge between them and the gods.
Even if he dared to risk angering the gods, his subordinates would never dare to do so.
"You guys, go and get the poisoned arrows to that house!" After a long time of busyness, the leader finally had a chance to breathe.
"The Qin people don't know what method they used, this poisonous arrow is becoming more and more useless!" The leader said with a confused look in his eyes, and there was also a trace of anxiety in his heart.
"Chief, ......"
A deep voice sounded behind the leader, and the tone of the words was so round that the leader of Yangyue did not react for a while.
"Buzz!"
However, by the time he could react and want to exclaim, a sword was already pressed against his neck.
"Let's make a deal......" Zhang Han, who was dressed in delicate armor, slowly walked up to the leader and said.
Looking at Zhang Han's dark red armor, there was a look of longing in the leader's eyes. It is this kind of thing that has protected the lives of many Qin people. And the swords in the hands of the Qin people were even sharper, and their swords were almost shattered at the touch of a button.
"I heard that our ancestors were also so brilliant...... "The color of longing in the heart of the leader of Yang Yue became more and more intense.
"Click!"
Several soft sounds sounded in the ears of the leader of Yangyue.
"Smack!"
The armor, which was regarded as a treasure by the leader of Yangyue, was thrown in front of him like garbage by Zhang Han.
"Take your people, submit to the Empire, this is yours!"
Yang Yue was stunned for the first time, and then shook his head suddenly and said, "Impossible, God will not agree......"
"It's the priest who won't agree!" Zhang Han sneered and said, "I've seen it, in the past few months, your identity as a leader is worse than a dog!" ”
"Then I can't sneak attack you......" A trace of ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of the leader of Yang Yue, and his tone gradually relaxed, "My subordinates will not agree either!" ”
"God?" Zhang Han smiled disdainfully, "What if, we have the ability to kill your gods?" ”
"Impossible!" The leader of Yang Yue exclaimed, almost reflexively, "Our god is invincible!" ”
"Then why are you vulnerable to the Empire? Is your God not bless you? ”
"This ......" the leader of Yang Yue did not know how to argue for a moment, for on the day of the expedition, the priest had told him that God would be on their side.
Zhang Han slowly moved the saber in his hand, picked up a cuirass on the ground, gently pressed it against the chest of the leader of Yangyue, and said, "Good things are won by yourself, not by God." Even if there is a god, there can only be one, and that is my Emperor Majesty of Great Qin! ”
The heart of the leader of Yangyue was beating with a pop, and the desire in his heart gradually began to break through the original shackles.
"There is only one God!"
……
"Sand! Sand! Sand! ”
Between the jungles, the Yangyue warriors dressed in animal skins have approached the Qin army's military camp for the first time. This time, however, it seems to be different.
There are many bumps in the mountains, so the military camps are relatively scattered. However, the number of people in this military camp in front of him seems to be unusually large.
"Erlang, the time has come for the gods to show their wrath!" A muscular man at the head shouted, holding up a somewhat broken sword in his hand.
"Kill!"
One by one, the unkempt looking Yangyue people roared and rushed towards the barracks.
Hundred steps, the bow and arrow that originally made the Yangyue people fearful, did not appear. Fifty steps, the Qin army dressed in black armor had already poured out of the barracks, staring at them from afar with a cold face, but they still didn't make the slightest movement.
"Qin Ren, what's wrong?"
All the Yangyue people couldn't help but have such doubts in their hearts.
"God, be with us!"
Just when everyone was puzzled, the voice of the leader came from behind them again. Putting aside the cranky thoughts in his mind, Yang Yue people rushed forward again.
"Whew!"
The cyan mist, accompanied by a low roar, slowly rose over the black Qin army camp. A middle-aged man wearing armor stood in the center of the Qin army, and in his deep eyes, he didn't know what he was thinking.
