The affairs of the Western Regions and the Northern Lands fell behind, and Lin Ze began to prepare for the southern expedition.

In comparison, whether it is the rebellion in the Western Regions or the imminent southward movement of the Hu people, the losses caused to the Qin State are far less than those caused by the capture of Shu by the natives of Nanzhao.

The fall of Shu not only means that the Qin State will lose an important grain-producing land, but also means that the land of Guanzhong will lose its strategic depth and become a pool of stagnant water.

Therefore, Lin Ze not only planned to go out in person, but also brought a luxurious lineup, including Han Xin and Chen Ping.

In addition to the 300,000 troops he led, Lin Ze also transferred countless martial arts masters from various families to serve as enshriners in the army and go out with the army.

If you hurt ten fingers, it is better to break one finger, Lin Ze is going to destroy the country and the clan this time.

In two days, after the ordnance, grain and grass were ready, Lin Ze said goodbye to Hu Hai and led the army south.

Hu Hai stood on the wall of Chang'an City, looking at Lin Ze's departing back, his nails digging into the flesh, if he could break through the grandmaster, why did he need to rely on others for everything?

......

Shudi, Shudu, Li Xin stood on the city wall, looking at the endless Nanzhao army, and a trace of melancholy appeared on his face.

Ten days ago, he was ordered by Lin Ze to lead an army of 100,000 to support Shu.

At the beginning, Li Xin's army encountered a small army of Nanzhao along the way, and with excellent weapons and fighting more and less, Li Xin naturally won consecutive battles.

When he found out that the main army of Nanzhao was attacking Shudu, Li Xin didn't think about it, and directly marched to Shudu.

In Li Xin's view, the Nanzhao army was just a rabble with mixed weapons, and with the army himself, it would not take a few times to break the formation and defeat it.

At present, the army of Nanzhao is gathered under the city of Shudu, and it is just a net to catch it all.

On that day, Li Xin took advantage of the Nanzhao army to attack Shudu with all his might, and when he had no time to look back, he led the army to suddenly kill and hit the Nanzhao army by surprise.

It only took two round-trips, and Li Xin completely disrupted the formation of the Nanzhao army.

Just when Li Xin thought that he had the chance to win, he found that the Nanzhao army was in chaos and did not collapse, but fought with his own army.

That battle lasted for an hour, and Li Xin killed more than 60,000 of Nanzhao's army at the cost of 30,000 casualties of his own army before he completely repelled the opponent.

It wasn't until he led the army into the city to rest that Li Xin learned from the Shu forces that the Nanzhao army had no formation at all, and it had always been a melee, so disrupting the formation of the Nanzhao army would not affect the opponent's combat strength at all.

The best way to fight against the Nanzhao army is to use excellent ordnance to kill and wound from a distance.

It's almost like setting up the formation by yourself, and the soldiers under you cooperate, but you can kill and injure the opponent with half the effort.

The most undesirable way is to disrupt the opponent's formation, disturb the opponent's military morale, and then take advantage of the situation to chase and kill.

Only then did Li Xin realize that he subconsciously regarded the Nanzhao army as the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and chose the most stupid method, causing his troops to be lost by half at once.

Looking at the Nanzhao army, although there were many casualties among the Qin army, this time, the Nanzhao army that went north had a full 400,000.

The day after Li Xin entered the city, 300,000 Nanzhao troops gathered and appeared under the city of Shudu to surround Shudu.

In the past ten days, Li Xin has lost count of how many times the Nanzhao army has attacked the city, he only knows that he has changed three swords.

Every sword was replaced by Li Xin because he killed too many people and the edge of the sword was curled.

Watching the Nanzhao army attack Shudu again, a wry smile appeared on Li Xin's face: "Before I came, I was still thinking about how to open my mouth after defeating Nanzhao and let Lin Ze fulfill the promise of the marquis." ”

"In this situation, it would be nice to be able to go back alive. ”

To Li Xin's surprise, today's Nanzhao army only attacked for half an hour, and then all of them retreated.

Before Li Xin could understand why the Nanzhao army had such a strange behavior today, suddenly the Nanzhao army outside the city split into a way, only to see that under the protection of a team of warriors, eight strong men carried a beautiful girl wearing Nanzhao clothes to the city.

If Lin Ze was here, he would definitely be able to recognize this girl, it was the Nanzhao goddess he had seen back then.

The goddess stood up from the chair and said loudly: "The goddess under the seat of the god of Nanzhao, where is the lord of the city, dare to come out and answer?"

What the goddess of Nanzhao said was the standard official language of Daqin, and everyone who heard her voice in Shudu understood it.

The eyes of the soldiers of the Qin army suddenly focused on Li Xin.

Seeing this, Li Xin knew that he couldn't come forward, so he came to the city wall, looked at the Nanzhao priestess condescendingly, and said with an arrogant face: "Ben Jiang is here, the southern barbarians, what is the purpose of you looking for Ben Jiang to come out?"

When the goddess Nanzhao heard the word barbarian, her face suddenly fell, and she said coldly: "This seat is kind enough to talk to you, why does Your Excellency want to insult me?"

Li Xin looked dazed: "How could Ben have insulted you?"

Nanzhao's face froze, and she secretly thought to herself, "Could it be that the Qin dialect I learned is wrong?"

The atmosphere cooled down as soon as it fell.

Soon, the Nanzhao Priestess put it behind, regained her composure, and continued to say aloud: "This seat is ordered by the Heavenly God to crusade against the devil of the Qin State and completely destroy it. But these days, I think you are very good, and if you are willing to abandon the darkness and surrender to this seat, this seat can spare your life. ”

"Otherwise, when this city is conquered, it will definitely sacrifice you to the gods, so that you will not be liberated for the rest of your life. ”

Li Xin was stunned for a moment after hearing this, this Nanzhao native is recruiting me?

His eyes rolled, and Li Xin immediately replied in a loud voice: "If Ben will surrender to you, what good is it?"

Nanzhao's eyes lit up slightly, and the other party asked for conditions, there was a play.

According to the experience passed down by the gods, the goddess Nanzhao replied: "Power, beauty, money, you have everything." ”

Who should this Nanzhao native be? Like them, haven't you ever seen the earthly buns in the world? Li Xin couldn't help but complain.

However, Li Xin said quietly on his face: "In this way, can you let Ben think about it?"

Nanzhao Priestess felt that the other party was already moved, so she asked generously, "How many days do you want to think about it?"

Li Xin scratched his head and said, "It won't take too long, how about three days?"

The Nanzhao Priestess wanted to agree directly, but she remembered that the elder had explained that it was too easy to agree, so she shook her head and said, "Three days will not work, at most one day." ”

"How about two days?" Li Xin bargained, but his heart was happy, he didn't expect the other party to be stupid, so easy to deceive, casually, he won a day of respite.

Two days, the goddess Nanzhao thought about it, and two days later, the Venerable came, and if the other party did not agree to surrender, she would just use the power of the Venerable to break the city.

If it weren't for the fact that the casualties were a bit heavy in the past few days, the goddess of Nanzhao would not have thought about persuading the devil of the Qin State.

The devil deserves to go to hell.

"Two days is two days, and a word is a certainty. The goddess of Nanzhao dropped this sentence and turned her head to leave.
