Chapter 495 Return (asking for monthly ticket)
Chu Jingxing, the defender of Guanyi City, learned the news of the siege while he was asleep. His sweet dream was shattered. In a panic, he put on armor and robe, picked up his spear and bow and arrow, and ran quickly along the path to the city.

But what we saw was the Qin army with its solemn preparations and majestic appearance.

At that moment, Chu Jingxing's head was already buzzing.

Qin Jun, why did you suddenly appear here? !
Aren't Yue Pengwu and his men still hundreds or even thousands of miles away? No matter how much the battle line advances, it can't be so fast. In one night, the army advances a full thousand miles and pierces the capital like a sharp blade? !
Impossible, absolutely impossible.

There is absolutely no such thing.

What's more, the one leading the army was actually the King of Qin.

It was either a surprise attack from the sky or the king personally leading the army to carry out this dangerous strategy deep behind enemy lines. Such ambition and passion shocked and moved even the enemy.

He was considered a good general of the time and he immediately guessed the general strategic style.

"Is it the same strategy as when the God of War Jiang Su attacked Chen, and when the Godly King Chen Fubi attacked Ying, where they made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, with a famous general of the time personally leading a group of elite troops to penetrate the rear from an unimaginable place and at an unimaginable time?"

If such a brilliant strategy could succeed once, it would be enough to be recorded in history and become an example cited by military strategists and generals throughout the ages. However, in the past twenty years, it was successfully used three times by three different generals.

Every time it is almost unprepared and extremely risky, but the effect is extremely good.

This is a strategy that can only be accomplished by fully leveraging the commander's ability to judge the situation, his personal bravery, and his courage to lead by example.

In other eras, anyone who used a grand strategy of this level would undoubtedly be the best in the world.

But now, there are three such people.

One of them is just ahead.

I beat the King of Qin?!
Chu Jingxing almost laughed, but even so, he did not give up the fight immediately. It was impossible to fight. He could not stop the King of Qin's army no matter what. Under this circumstance, Chu Jingxing made a strategy that best suited the current situation.

Stay put and don't go out.

At the same time, all thirty flying eagles and exotic birds were released.

All flying eagles and strange beasts carry intelligence.

Guanyi City is not far from Jiangzhou City. There are at least elite guards and night guards there, as well as the strongest general of the Chen State and Chen Tianqi, one of the top ten generals of the contemporary era. He is the grandson of Emperor Wu of Chen and the only force currently in the entire Chen State.

The King of Qin did not stop him.

Just let the birds scatter.

Chu Jingxing heaved a sigh of relief and realized why the King of Qin did not stop it, because another flying bird fell down, with scarlet fiery marks on its tail feathers, which represented extremely urgent military information.

I unfolded the letter and saw a few brief words written on it.

[Qin attacks our capital, come to the king as soon as possible]

These eight simple words almost shattered Chu Jingxing's faith in Taoism.

Indeed, the King of Qin was already a famous and brave general in the world. When such a commander appeared in Guanyi City, there must have been another extremely brave general leading the army to Jiangzhou City.

However, Chen Tianqi is the grandson of Emperor Wu of Chen.

The heyday of its activity was 180 years ago, and it was also the last foundation of the contemporary Chen State. In fact, it must have had the command and combat capabilities of the top five divine generals in the world. However, no one knew who it would be and which divine general would be qualified to lead the Qilin Army to fight against this legend of the Chen State.

He is the top general in the world.

A deputy general stepped forward, holding his horse with his spear in hand, and shouted: "Guan Yi City's defense, seeing the King of Qin coming here, why don't you surrender as soon as possible? Why do you keep resisting?!"

Chu Jingxing felt that he was right.

But he would not surrender just like that. He just shouted: "General, Your Highness the King of Qin, does it mean that as a general and a soldier, you are supposed to defend your country. When you see an enemy you cannot defeat, do you have to abandon your duty and kowtow and surrender?!"

"General Lu's subordinates definitely don't have such logic!"

"Guan Yicheng will fight to the end!"

"I, the Great Chen, still have some power left!"

"Don't forget, Your Highness, you have also been in this city for some time. You should also know that the defense of Guanyi City was personally supervised by General Lu Youxian!"

"General Lu Youxian's spirit in heaven, please protect us!"

There were only 3,000 soldiers defending Guanyi City, relying on the city defense to fight. Chu Jingxing thought clearly that relying on the city defense left by General Lu Youxian and the interlaced crossbows, it would be enough to hold out for a while.

Seven years ago, General Lu Youxian watched the Jinwu Guards flee and left. He felt great hatred and regret, and spent three years turning Guanyi City into a place that would scare to death any fugitives or those who wanted to attack the city.

This is totally fortress level.

Chu Jingxing still fought to the death, but King Qin's majesty and martial arts were too great. Even if the soldiers and generals of Guanyi City fought to the end, they could not stop the tide of the times. The crossbow arrows shot by the mechanical crossbow disintegrated in the air and dissipated.

The Qilin's roar was so loud that it shook the heavens and the earth. The King of Qin, wearing armor, waved the weapon in his hand himself. The inky light turned into a semi-arc and tore forward. Even the clouds were cut apart, and a hideous gully visible to the naked eye appeared on the ground.

The military spirit and momentum of the 10,000 heavy cavalry burst out.

With the blessing of such power, the effect of this move is exaggerated.

The eerie semi-arc attack fell on the city of Guanyi City, representing the foundation of the city's defense formation. The jade plates arranged in a special and mysterious way jumped up in an instant.

The streams of light above rose and fell, and finally stopped at once.

With a crisp sound like tearing silk, the great formation of Guanyi City was torn apart, and the thousands of jade talismans of the formation shattered in the continuous crisp sound, like the sound of wind chimes blown by a young man when he is drowsy in the summer, or like broken ice hitting a cup of plum soup, ringing out a series of sounds that are like the sound of a young man's afternoon dream.

boom! ! !
The entire Guanyi City seemed to be shaking.

At this time, the sun in the sky had not yet fully awakened, and the waning moon had not yet set. The people sensed the movement and became panic-stricken. Three thousand soldiers stepped onto the battlefield, and the bravery and heroism they had barely mustered were shattered by this domineering and terrifying move.

The Acropolis of the capital.

In such a location, such a strategic place, there will be defensive troops.

But he will not be as powerful as the border generals.

Before, Yue Pengwu and the four armies attacked Chen. Under Yue Pengwu's attack, all the elite troops here were transferred away to stop the once mighty general of Dachen, who was now angrily counterattacking in the Northern Expedition.

Normally, attack a country's city.

As long as this city and fortress hold on, there will always be supporters coming to support them.

But it has reached this level now.

There is no so-called support anymore.

Even though it is next to the capital, it has become a truly isolated city. Given the situation of an isolated city, the 3,200-line city defense corps, faced with such a situation, Chu Jingxing and others still abided by their duties even though they were desperate.

Fought, resisted, struggled.

And then lost.

Even if you fail, the process should be meaningful.

According to historical records, this battle took only half a day, but in reality, the battle from start to finish was far from half a day, only about an hour or so. The people were awakened and returned to their homes, closing their doors tightly, terrified.

Before chaotic order arises.

Everything has been settled.

Special soldiers have already entered Guanyi City and began to take over Guanyi City's defense and city defense in an orderly manner. They advanced forward in a five-man combat team, breaking through the tightly closed government offices one by one and breaking through the list of aristocratic families written in Nan Hanwen's handwriting.

These yamen runners and private soldiers in the government offices were quite arrogant in the past.

However, facing an army that had truly emerged from the battles of troubled times, some of them became like little white rabbits, without their previous arrogance, and became very obedient. It was the common people who opened the door a crack and saw that these soldiers were all dignified, obeyed orders and did not harm the civilians.

Even if someone took out gold and silver, they would not accept it.

He just told the people that the current situation has not been completely stabilized. The Qilin Army under the King of Qin is taking over the city. All kinds of order remain, but the people are worried that someone will cause trouble in the chaos, so they should go back home and rest.

"Qilin Army..."

"It's the King of Qin."

When people heard these two names, they first felt as if they were in a dream.

Has Yue Pengwu called so quickly?
Then, there was no riot, civil unrest, or frightened people running outside desperately, leading to them being taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives and causing conflicts with the Qilin Army.

Pang Shuiyun’s public opinion war and Changfeng Tower’s propaganda.

The reputation of the King of Qin as a benevolent and righteous teacher has become known to people all over the world.

Even though Chen and Ying had officials, famous scholars said that the King of Qin was just a disguise and not the real one. However, from the eleventh year of Tianqi to the sixteenth year of Tianqi, over so many years, the literati and officials changed several times, but the King of Qin remained the same.

His reputation for benevolence has spread throughout the world.

The common people are not fools.

Not blind either.

After a period of confusion, the truth would eventually come out as time went by. Under the guidance of the Qin King's Qilin Army, they returned home, recorded their own names, and then wrote down the injustices they had suffered in their daily lives.

The aristocratic families were somewhat panicked and nervous.

In Guanyi City, all kinds of lives are played out one after another.

Xue Family——

Xue Changqing, who was already sixteen years old, held a halberd in his hand. He had a proud and heroic look, a jade pendant around his waist, and an eagle feather decoration. He led the guests of the Xue family to prepare for defense.

He only heard that there was chaos in the city and that there was an army coming outside. He had always been paying close attention to the movements of the King of Qin and was often delighted by Qin Wu's great victories.

Now at the age of sixteen, his martial arts skills are almost at the third level.

Just like Ye Buyi and Zhou Liuying in the past, he was undoubtedly a potential general, particularly good at numerology, archery, and horse riding. He was also quite brave when wielding a halberd in his hand.

Young man, there is a strong courage in his heart.

I dream of leaving home and serving under the command of a "guest official".

Even if he had to start from the ranks, he was willing. He was a real man, born in this era, and had martial arts skills. His sister, guest officials, uncle, and grandfather were all working hard for this chaotic world. He was the only one who was raised at home. How could he give up?
Before this, Xue Daoyong had already started looking for a wife for him.

Xue Changqing refused with a righteous "How can I take care of my family when the world is not yet settled?"

Xue Daoyong praised, saying that you have the style of your elder brother Li.

Then he beat the guy up.

If you ask what should I do with my family, and they ask what should I do with my family, then my Xue family will be cut off. I can't beat the King of Qin, but I can't beat you either, right?
But even so, there was no way to change this kid's temper, so they could only let it go. When others knew that there were troops attacking the city, they thought it was like what happened in Ying State. The world was in chaos, and Chen State also gave birth to rebels.

While others were worried, Xue Changqing was in a very good mood.

Hearing someone knocking on the door, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who!"

As he spoke, he raised his halberd.

The moment he opened the door, he was about to chop down fiercely, but he saw a captain outside who raised his hand to block his halberd. A murderous aura filled his face, and Xue Changqing was a little scared. When he looked closely, he found it was clearly familiar.

"Brother Zhou?!!!"

It was Zhou Liuying.

Zhou Liuying, a leader of the younger generation of the Qilin Army, joined the Qilin Army from the Western Regions. He experienced great battles, siege cities and seized territories. Before that, he inherited Ji Yanzhong's "Red Dragon Shocks the Nine States" magic skill. Now he has the means to reach the peak of the fifth level.

Although he cannot be compared with Fan Qing, who is in the sixth level and has unified the army.

Nor can he be compared with Ye Buzhi, who is at the sixth level at such a young age.

But he was brave, good at charging, and only 23 years old. He was the seed of the younger generation of the Qilin Army. He was easily defeated. He laughed and said, "Hahaha, little brother from the Xue family, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you are so enthusiastic when we meet?"

"We can't hold on, hahaha."

Xue Changqing was overjoyed: "Brother Zhou?!"

"How did you come?"

He was smart, and reacted immediately. His eyes widened and suddenly shone brightly: "The Qilin Army is here to attack the city?!"

Zhou Liuying smiled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I am outside the city."

Xue Changqing was stunned, his mind went blank, and the information contained in this sentence almost burst out of his head. After a long while, he murmured like a dream: "You mean, Brother Li, he, he came in person."

Zhou Liuying said: "Yes, although according to the military theory, we should use all the fine steel on the blade, attack the place where the enemy must rescue, and directly take Jiangzhou City, but your king, the lord is particularly stubborn and persistent this time, and he must come to Guanyi City."

Zhou Liuying smiled and said, "I guess it's because of the deep attachment to the old place."

Xue Changqing was stunned. He never understood what was meant by hidden meanings, but suddenly his eyes widened. Holding the halberd in his hand, he turned around and said, "Sister, where is sister!?"

"elder sister!!!"

The Xue family suddenly became noisy and noisy.

But he couldn't find Xue Shuangtao.

The spring sun, approaching summer, fell. The transparent light golden sunlight fell through the cracks in the window, through the gaps between leaves, and fell on the table, casting golden spots on the girl's cheeks and hair.

Files, white paper, pen and ink.

The hanging files contained information like a forest with words written on them. A girl in plain clothes was lying there, breathing softly, but she was asleep.

Yue Pengwu and the four detachments of the Qilin Army were able to move forward unimpeded. This was due to the fact that the world was surging like a river flowing down, and also because of the help of people who were united and willing to die for them.

But in addition to this, intelligence is also an especially important part.

Wars were raging on all sides, and all kinds of information were circulated in Changfeng Tower, which was transmitted in various secret ways, almost bringing the characteristics of Changfeng Tower to the extreme. Among them, the owner of Changfeng Tower was particularly injured and had almost been living in Changfeng Tower during this period of time.

Yesterday, because the intelligence files were so complicated, I had to deal with them until late at night.

I originally wanted to sleep for a while, but accidentally slept too deeply.

Xue Shuangtao was awakened by the noisy noise outside. She opened her eyes, still a little confused. Holding the sword, she walked forward to the window, and then she was stunned - Guan Yicheng was still the same Guan Yicheng.

The prosperous, peaceful and comfortable Guanyi City is still the Guanyi City where many people find it hard to breathe. However, on both sides of the street, soldiers in ink-colored armor are walking at regular intervals.

She was very familiar with the design of these armors.

The girl was stunned, and then she heard the whispers on the wind: "Qilin Army, King Qin, personally led the troops..."

Her mind suddenly went blank, and then her body moved without her knowing it. She turned around and opened the door. The old man outside said with a sad face, "Ah, little girl, did you know that Li Guanyi called us..."

"I was very happy."

"But I suddenly remembered that I am also a member of the royal family of the Chen Kingdom, so I shouldn't be too happy. Look, I am using the supreme magic skill of my Chen Kingdom [Six Voids and Four Combinations Magic Skill] to control the muscles on my face."

"Now half of my face is happy and half of my face is sad."

"You are worthy of our ancestors and me, isn't that very..."

The old man proudly showed off his choice and his martial arts to Xue Shuangtao. He liked this little girl very much because no matter how busy she was in the past, Xue Shuangtao would stop and talk to him about his proudest things.

She is not like that little girl Chen Qingyan at all, she is very impatient.

But today seems different.

Xue Shuangtao's speech speed increased. She said seriously:

"Yeah, it's very good, both in terms of martial arts and choices."

“You are really talented.”

"But I have some things to take care of."

"Excuse me, Mr. Chen Chengbi!"

Chen Chengbi: “Ah?”

"what???"

The next moment, the girl jumped up with a nimble body, passed Chen Chengbi, and ran away from Chen Qingyan who was holding the sword. Chen Chengbi smacked his lips and said, "How come this little girl's body movements have suddenly improved so much?"

"Have you been practicing secretly? Not bad, not bad."

Xue Shuangtao ran outside in one breath, his hair flying. There were many people on the street outside, including soldiers of the Qilin Army and civilians who were being led back.

There were also defenders who had been stripped of their armor after being defeated. All of them walked towards the city on this street, like a surging wave, breaking the previous order.

Only the girl in plain clothes went towards the city gate, as if going against the waves.

"Borrowed it, borrowed it."

"Sorry, excuse me, please move aside."

The girl's footsteps were hurried.

Faces flashed before my eyes, men, women, old people, children. They were confused and puzzled. Some wanted to stop it but were stopped by others. There were thousands of people with different faces, all like passers-by passing by.

The girl ran through the streets of the past, her shoes almost touching the ground. She was wearing a navy blue, tight-fitting double-breasted dress with a robe over it. When she ran, her black hair lifted up her sleeves like a fluttering butterfly.

She pursed her lips, her heart beating rapidly.

If I want to see you, I will definitely run.

The road is so short and the time is so long.

She ran to the city wall in one breath. The soldiers of the Qilin Army and the city defenders all retreated in front of her like waves. Her martial arts skills were not bad, but her heart was beating as if it was going to explode.

She ascended the city.

I ran to the city wall in one breath and finally felt a little tired.

She pressed her hands against the city wall, breathing heavily, then raised her head. The sun had risen, and she saw the vast scenery and weather in front of her. She saw the clouds rolling down from the sky and turning into flags, which were spread out to the limit of what the naked eye could see.

Magnificent, solemn and brave!
The laziness of the south and the gentle breeze can almost soften visitors' bones.

It was crushed by the fierce and fierce air.

Thousands of troops.

Young people once promised.

The night was thick with darkness, the halberd was raised and pointed at the sky, the young hero's face still had the innocence of youth, his eyes were as blazing as fire, he shouted: "I will be back!"

"Xue Shuangtao!"

"Remember, I will definitely come back. I will have a huge army behind me. I will become a hero of the world, take up arms, lead a huge army, and then come back!"

"You have to wait for me!"

The promise and farewell in youth were like a dream. He said that he would become the hero of the whole world and would come back to find her with thousands of troops, but at that time, the girl's tears fell even harder, just like now.

Thousands of troops were lined up behind him, and the city and the pass were captured in half a day.

In his prime, he was armed with swords and spears, and was as fierce as a tiger.

Thousands of troops are brave, with the Qin royal flag in the front soaring into the sky. Under the scarlet battle flag with Qilin pattern, the dragon colt is also dressed in uniform and wearing ink-colored armor. The king, with his sleeves hanging down from the clouds, raises his head, his hair slightly fluttering and tied with a jade hairpin.

He looked at the woman over there, quietly for a long time.

Then he smiled.

"Miss."

The world-famous King of Qin smiled as he faced the mighty army that attacked cities and destroyed nations. He said with a smile:
"I am back."
