Due to the indulgence of the Qin State, the Blood God Cult in Xianyang City developed rapidly, and there were already more than 5,000 official followers and tens of thousands of peripheral personnel. In the past two days, under the orders of the prime minister, the Qin army sent the prisoners on death row over and let them be tortured by the cultists.

As soon as the main force of the Qin army left, these cultists who had seen the blood screamed and wanted to slaughter the city for blood sacrifice.

However, as soon as they assembled to attack, Valera secretly infiltrated its headquarters in Xianyang with the insect man Amethyst. Amethyst hissed, giving the order to devour the host to the parasitic blood worms in the body of the remaining cultists.

The cultists all fell to the ground wailing and screaming, and the pain of the blood worms eating their bodies was simply unbearable.

However, the blood pool here is dedicated to the blood god, and he can still issue orders through the idol to cut off the control of Amethyst.

But after such a delay, Amethyst had already flapped its wings and flew to the idol. The hideous mouthparts bit the head of the idol, tearing a large piece with a tooth-aching crunch, and the barbs in the mouthparts smashed the idol's pieces like a stone crusher.

Gohorn had already consumed too much power in Xiazhou last time, and he had not recovered yet, and the energy he could put into Xianyang was very limited. Caught off guard, he was attacked by Amethyst, and the idol that was an energy node was gnawed away in less than a minute.

After eating the idol several times larger than herself, Amethyst burped in satisfaction. She flapped her wings, and the buzzing sound waves reached the ears of the nearby cultists, who staggered to their feet, and after a brief moment of confusion, they chose to obey.

"Why did so many traitors pop up overnight? Hmph, Qin Luohan! And say you're not a traitor? The rebels are your cronies! At this time, in the official office of Xianyang City, Prime Minister Daqin was furious.

The first emperor handed Xianyang to him with his front foot, and he threw Xianyang away with his back foot, where did he put this face?

The prime minister roared: "What are you still doing here? Let's go and put down the rebellion! ”

Several high-ranking generals looked at each other, clasped their fists and said: "We are ordered to defend the palace, the official office and the treasury, and we dare not leave our posts without permission. ”

"......" when has this been, and still clinging to dogma. The Qin army is like this, in the hands of outstanding famous generals, it is an efficient weapon of war, and in the hands of mediocre people, it is a rigid and dogmatic goose. These Qin warrior officers are even more rigid, they will move when they give an order, and they will be in a daze if they don't give an order.

The prime minister obviously did not understand military affairs, and several generals and colonels all guarded their own one-third of an acre of land, and sat back and watched the rebel army continue to grow.

In order to escort supplies and guard the important place, the Qin army still left 8,000 people in the city, and if 5,000 people were gathered to kill it as soon as the uprising broke out, Cao Wenhuan would not be able to withstand it at all.

Now, the rebel army has armed forty or fifty thousand people, although most of them are war scum, but the Qin army does not want to advance smoothly.

Although the prime minister didn't know the specific situation of the rebel army, he still had a basic judgment, and he knew that the efficiency of the people under Qin Luohan's control was much better than that of Gu Daqin. Xianyang City has a population of hundreds of thousands, and it is no problem to rebel and pull up tens of thousands of people. Now the total combat strength of the Qin army in the city is no longer superior, the time and place are favorable, and the people are lost, and the frontal battle will be defeated.

Moreover, the 50,000 troops of the Republic outside the city also began to exert their strength, and although thousands of Qin troops resisted desperately, they could not last long.

"Forget it, immediately reorganize the army and pack up our things, go out of the city overnight, and we will transport the important materials in the warehouse to Lishan." The prime minister waved his hand.

Of course, the most important materials in Xianyang City were placed in the most core treasury, next to the official office, and the rebel army was not yet able to capture it. Moreover, the 20,000 people who had prepared the logistics for the First Emperor's expedition had not been put back, and they were just going to continue to be used.

Normal Qin troops do not fight at night, but after staying in the dark and lightless underground imperial tomb for more than 2,000 years, the undead and Qin figurines have night vision, and night battles have no effect at all. On the contrary, it is the army of the republic, which cannot see anything in the dark, and its combat effectiveness is greatly affected.

Qin's laws are strict, gouging out eyes and noses, cutting off hands and feet, and the screams of criminals are a real deterrent, which is much more effective than cutting off heads and killing people directly. 20,000 people, driven by four or five hundred Qin figurines, loaded goods overnight, ready to evacuate.

A group of 2,000 Qin troops opened the way as the vanguard, and the rest of the Qin troops followed with escorts and supplies. The scouts in the army monitored the situation on both sides of the team in real time.

However, soon a soldier reported: "Prime Minister, the enemy assassins are hiding in the building, sneaking up from time to time, and our scouts have suffered heavy losses. ”

The prime minister had a gloomy face and looked at the densely packed houses around him, the terrain of Xianyang now is much more complex than back then, and the urban area is more than ten times larger. He said helplessly: "It's okay, send more scouts and move on!" ”

He has 8,000 Qin figurines who are not afraid of death, and if you sprinkle 1,000 out, you can sneak attack, as long as you leave the city with complex terrain and come to the open land, the assassin is useless.

Not long after, another soldier came to report: "Prime Minister, there is a cultist in front of the left!" The number is more than five thousand. ”

Cultists? Prime Minister Daqin is a little confused about the situation, shouldn't these guys be sabotaging in the city and earning blood sacrifices? How did you get to your side?

"Summons on alert!"

However, as soon as the prime minister's voice fell, the strange sound of the battle came. The Qin army and the mutant cultists are both cold-weapon troops, and if there is a small-scale confrontation, the movement will not spread far at all, and only a battle of more than 1,000 people will be heard by the prime minister in the center of the team.

Although the Qin army had 8,000 soldiers and horses, it guarded the entire transport team, which was very long and the density of troops was very low. Such an arrangement is not much of a problem to deal with a rabble like the rebel army, which has no ability to break through, and it will not be able to resist the direct intensive charge of the cultists who are not afraid of death.

Moreover, these cultists are also blessed by the aura of amethyst, and their single combat power is not under the Qin Warriors. Relying on numerical superiority, they quickly broke down one side of the enemy army, and then rushed towards the convoy.

The garrisoning Qin army just wanted to organize a defensive line to defend it, and the prime minister reprimanded: "Drive those people over and let them block the way." ”

After saying that, he threw a deterrent technique into the crowd of people, and the people, who were already like frightened birds, immediately buried their heads like quails, and were driven to the direction of the cultists' attack by the fierce Qin figurines.

This trick will work wonders for the soldiers of the Republic, who will never storm the ranks of the people. But the prime minister obviously didn't choose the right opponent.

Amethyst, who commanded the cultists, was a cruel and cold-blooded insect man, dead people and dead soldiers were not within her consideration, she only cared about whether she could defeat the enemy army, Xiang Ningxuan was not there, and no one could restrain her. Folk in the way? It didn't matter, she roared and led Army A over.

Qin Jun didn't expect that the hostages would be useless. The Qin Warriors are obviously not as terrifying as the mutant cultists who are not humanoids, so they collapse directly as soon as they come into contact, and they run to both sides smartly, and go back to the Qin army in a daze.

The Qin army responsible for driving away the minfu was only a few hundred, and they couldn't stop the backrushing minfu at all, and the formation was instantly crushed.

The cultists followed, instantly surrounding the prime minister's car, and fighting fiercely with the hundreds of ancient Qin figurines guarding them.

The people who fled on both sides also blocked the Qin army that came back. ……

When Valera led the elite assassin team to cut through the defense of the ancient Qin figurines and kill the prime minister of Great Qin, she couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly as she looked at the battlefield full of corpses.

With only 5,000 mutant cultists, Amethyst defeated the Qin army in the middle lane, beheaded the prime minister, and left the rest of the Qin army out of command and scattered around the convoy at a loss. It is only a matter of time before they are exterminated.

But this military victory was based on a large number of civilian casualties. More than half of the 20,000 people were killed or wounded, and the cost was very heavy.
