Episode 1 The Soldiers Are Descending
Shouchun, the capital of Chu State, the most prosperous city in Dongyanzhou in the past, the traces of the Chu royal family for thousands of years have been cleared cleanly, at this time, this city has become one of the eastern companion capitals of Qin State. The palace of the Qin State, which was built on the basis of the original Chu Palace, has not yet been completed, but its grand and exaggerated layout has faintly seen that the scale after its completion is more than several times larger than the original Chu Palace.
On the busy construction site, hundreds of thousands of mortals who had been requisitioned to build the palace toiled hard under the surveillance and leather whip of the Qin soldiers, laboriously carrying huge stone pillars or stones. In many cultivation countries, such a large building material is generally completed by ordinary monks, but the construction of this hall is not used by a cultivator in the Qin State, and almost all of them are completed by mortals from the occupied countries. Because almost all the cultivators in the areas occupied by the Qin State were either forcibly recruited and joined the vanguard units of the Qin army to become cannon fodder, or they joined the Qin State's refining tools, talismans and other teams that produced cultivation items, and became the coolies of the Qin State's logistics.
Because of the lack of help from cultivators, it was very difficult for mortals to build such a grand palace, and hundreds of mortals were killed by exhaustion and illness every day, or tortured to death by the brutal overseers of the Qin State, which was really miserable. However, the Qin State was not at all concerned about the death and injury of mortals, and continued to brutally force mortals to build palaces, and when there were fewer workers, they took a group of mortals from all over the country as coolies and constantly replenished them to the construction site. In front of the newly built palace on the Chu Palace, a huge mass grave has been dug up, and a large number of mortal corpses have been sent here for each person, and I don't know how many lives have been pasted in order to build this palace.
In the center of the palace, there is a small hall that has been built, surrounded by a thousand-strong Praetorian Guard. At this time, Qin Zhengzheng, the king of Qin, and a cadre of military generals and ministers gathered here.
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of glass breaking from the main hall, and then an angry voice shouted, "What a bunch of useless things!
I saw that King Qin was sitting in the main hall, looking at the dozens of courtiers and generals below with a blue face, and on the steps of the hall, there was a delicate magic weapon scattered in all directions, which was what King Qin smashed in anger just now, and everyone in His Highness was as quiet as a cicada, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out of one.
"Hehe, why is King Qin so angry, although the Blue Star Kingdom's action failed, it also made them scramble, and they didn't have time to take care of our blows to the remnants of the Chu army. Taking advantage of this opportunity, now that your army has advanced to the borders of their Blue Star Country, we have clearly gained the upper hand. ”
A black-robed man sitting on the right side of King Qin said disapprerovingly, casually raised his wine glass, and tasted the blood-red liquid inside. This person was the envoy of Bo, one of the two black-robed leaders of the Qin State.
Seeing this person speak, although King Qin's face was not very good-looking, his tone softened a little, and said: "So what? It is a matter of time before the remnants of the Chu State are wiped out, and what I want is a fatal effect, just like dealing with the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, and Chu! But these wastes have done such an easy thing like this, how can this make the widow happy!"
The black-robed man smiled and said, "It seems that Your Excellency is a little impatient, right? With the current national strength of the Qin State, it is only a matter of time before the conquest of the Blue Star Country and the unification of the Eastern Yanzhou Continent, so why care about the gains and losses of this two-step strategy? Even a powerful country like the Chu State has been destroyed by you, so why is it difficult to conquer the Blue Star Country? Now that the envoy has already led a large army with Marshal Wu to kill the Blue Star Country? With the strength of the Qin army, the battle to conquer the Blue Star Country this time must be overwhelming and everything will go well!"
Hearing this, King Qin smiled slightly, and his face finally improved a little. With the continuous victories of the Qin army, his desire to unify all countries and become the overlord of Dongyanzhou became stronger and stronger, and he increased his supervision of the army's actions, and even killed several generals who did not make effective progress in the battle to occupy the Chu State, and he even personally led the army to the front line to participate in the battle. This approach of the King of Qin forced the generals of the Qin army to lead the army to fight day and night, eager to destroy the enemy as soon as possible and fulfill the long-cherished wish of the King of Qin to be the same as the world as soon as possible.
Not long ago, the prince of Qin led an army of fifty to defeat the 600,000 allied army composed of the nobles and southern vassals of the Chu state in one fell swoop in the central region of the Chu state, and killed Xiong Zong, the second infant realm monk of the Chu state and the great elder of the Chu royal family, completely defeating the last main force of the Chu state. The remnants of the Chu army were forced to retreat to the southern region, and formed a loose anti-Qin army with the armies of more than a dozen vassal states in the south, although there were still more than 300,000 people, but they no longer posed any threat to the Qin army, let alone regained lost territory.
After defeating the main force of the Chu army, in order to deter the occupied areas of various countries, the king of Qin even ordered the abolition of the captured Chu army and the execution of all of them, killing 400,000 monks and soldiers in one go, as well as more than 3 million residents of the Chu city who participated in the resistance to the Qin state. Such a terrifying killing immediately shocked the remnants of various countries, and made King Qin's confidence in unifying Dongyanzhou even stronger.
"Hehe! It's a little anxious. However, it is said that the strength of the infant realm boy in the Blue Star Country is not simple, at the beginning, he was able to fight against the five infant realm generals of Wuhuan with the strength of one person, which is equivalent to the strength of the late infant realm! This person has led the army to fight in Yan and Zhao many times, which has brought a lot of trouble to our army. If this person is not removed, it will not be easy to successfully conquer the Blue Star Country..."King Qin covered his beard lightly, although he was no longer angry, but his sharp eyes kept staring at a map of the Blue Star Country floating in the lobby, thinking about mentioning Lin Dalai.
When the black-robed man heard this, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he was also displeased: "Well, I have also heard of that kid named Linda, it is said that the failure of your assassination in the Blue Star Country, the king, also has a lot to do with this person's attack." This person's cultivation is indeed good, however, it is said that this person was just an ordinary mortal in the Gui Kingdom back then, and he only started cultivating after he was recruited to join the Xiuzhen army, and it has only been more than ten years now, and he can reach the current level in such a short time, it is estimated that there must be some secrets on his body, right?!"
King Qin realized something, and said slowly: "Hmm... Envoy Bo's words are reasonable. Ordinary people have to cultivate from the Qi Realm to the Earth Realm, and with excellent qualifications and sufficient resources, they will have to cultivate for at least twenty years, let alone advance to the Dan Realm or the Infant Realm. And this person's advancement speed is so fast, it is impossible to say that there are no adventures. The widow is also curious about this! What is the secret of this person that can make him improve so much?"
The black-robed man smiled and said, "What's so difficult to know? No matter how powerful this person is, can he still compare with you and me? Anyway, if you want to start attacking the Blue Star Country, this person will definitely appear on the battlefield." When the time comes, we will shoot together, capture this person, and use soul searching to find out what is in his head, so that we can naturally know what we want. When the time comes, you and I will see the situation and then divide it!"
Hearing this, King Qin's eyes suddenly showed greed, confidence, and eagerness, and he laughed together with the black-robed man.
In April of the 29th year of the Blue Star Chronicle, the marshal of the Qin army, Wu Huan, led the main force of the 300,000 Qin army all the way to the east, and with the help of Gui Luo and other Yue forces who had already defected to the Qin State, they easily occupied the entire Yue Kingdom, and finally reached the western border of the Blue Star Country, known as the gate of the Blue Star Country, at the foot of the Tianlun Peak Mountain Range.
"This is the famous Tianlun Peak position of your Gui Kingdom, does it look similar to an ordinary mountain range?!" Wu Huan looked at the mountain range composed of dozens of precipitous mountains in the distance, sensed the looming spiritual power fluctuations on the mountain, and said disapprerovingly.
Gui Luo on the side didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Dashuai, don't underestimate this Tianlun Peak Great Array." When Gui and Yue were at war, although the strength of Gui was not as good as that of Yue, it relied on the danger of Tianlun Peak and the power of the defensive array to resist the attack of 100,000 Vietnamese troops for many years. Moreover, this peak is an important fortress to enter the Blue Star Country, and the Blue Star Army must have deployed heavy troops here, and it is not an easy task to occupy this peak. ”
After Gui Luo defected to the Qin State, he was awarded the title because of his meritorious service in destroying Chu, and this time he personally led tens of thousands of troops to follow the Qin army to the Blue Star Country, as a nobleman from the Gui State, he became the guide of the Qin army.
"What is 100,000 garbage Vietnamese troops?! We have hundreds of thousands of troops! I thought it would be very difficult, but that's it! Didn't Lun Peak be taken down in the end? What even a mere Vietnamese army could do, can't our Qin army do it? Last time we suffered a small loss in the battle with the Blue Star Country, this time, Ben Shuai wants to come back with profits! Immediately order the army to set up camp, rest the whole army for one night today, attack early tomorrow morning, and take this peak!" Wu Huan ordered loudly, disapproving Gui Luo's words just now, and swaggered back to the military formation.
His attitude was not surprising, a steep mountain as high as thousands of people like Tianlun Peak naturally made it difficult for mortals to even climb the mountain, let alone conquer it. But this is not a difficult thing for the Xiuzhen army, ordinary Qi Realm monks can easily climb the mountain peak after casting the spell, and the battle formation formed by the Xiuzhen soldiers can also fight while climbing the mountain, for the monks, fighting on such a mountain peak, the difficulty is not very great.
Wu Huan's confidence was even more abundant, after he had been scanned by his spiritual sense just now, Lin Da, who was the most worrying to him in the Blue Star Country, was not on the mountain at this time, which suddenly made him feel a lot more at ease. In addition, with the 300,000 army as the backing this time, he is full of confidence in completely defeating the Blue Star Army and occupying the position of Tianlun Peak.
But although Wu Huan said so, as a veteran of the battlefield, he was very clear about the previous prestige of Tianlun Peak, and knew that this peak was the most important position of the Blue Star Country, and it was impossible not to have a powerful protective array, and if he easily led the army to attack, there would definitely be heavy casualties. The reason why he bluffed in front of Gui Luo and the others to capture this peak was just to boost morale. Therefore, he made up his mind that he would never attack the mountain peak easily, but would try his best to attract the Blue Star Army from Tianlun Peak, annihilate the Blue Star Army on the flat ground, and then try to occupy this peak.
Therefore, after the Qin army set up camp, Wuhuan immediately sent several reconnaissance troops to observe the terrain and defensive layout of Tianlun Peak, and at the same time worked out various offensive plans in full swing.
Just as the Qin army was swaggering and camping at the foot of the mountain peak, on the main peak of Tianlun Peak, several pairs of sharp eyes were carefully looking at the deployment of the Qin army, and there was a strong murderous aura in their eyes.
