Saint Qin Batu

Chapter 531 Expanding the War

Rossiting's army horses are frantically gathering towards the border, and so is Yardley.

Due to the tense relationship between the two countries, most of the business travellers, who originally came from the Rossiting Kingdom, had returned to the country, and most of the rest were stranded in the lower city.

Most of the people who can travel thousands of miles to the lower city are big chaebols or businessmen, so the tools are all expensive.

However, the business road was cut off, and they could not return to the country, which meant that they were rootless, and these properties could naturally become the property of others.

However, fortunately, because the lower city is under the rule of the Qin State, no matter whether it is Yardley or Tianshidian, they will definitely not be in trouble with the Qin State at this time, even if there is any friction.

This point, these business travelers understand.

Therefore, immediately after the Norseman Canyon incident, many people immediately approached Chen Ping and asked for asylum.

Chen Ping also assured them with kind words that as long as they were around for a day, he would protect their safety.

Of course, due to the war, the Liannu, which Yardley had originally planned to purchase slowly, suddenly became an urgent need.

In particular, the strength of the Luoxiting Kingdom is stronger than them. The reason why it was not carried out before is just the result of the agreement between the Temple of Heaven and the Church.

Now, with such a big event happening, it is hard to guarantee whether the Heavenly Master Hall can hold it down.

Once the war starts, they will definitely be at a disadvantage.If the war continues, their losses may be unimaginably large.

Therefore, in order to resist Luo Xiting's attack, or even counterattack, they must have the Liannu produced by the people of Qin.

However, at this time, the requirements of the lower city have changed.

Originally, the lower city still accepted gold and silver, but after that incident, the lower city only accepted grain, not the gold and silver.

Even the lower city took the initiative to take out a lot of gold and silver to buy food.

Vaguely, the upper echelons of the country began to spread that those outsiders might be leaving.

Otherwise, why would they spare no effort to buy food?

Calculating carefully, in the past year or so, the grain collected in the lower city is probably enough for 30 to [-] people to use for seven or eight years.

However, Xiacheng did not stop because of this, on the contrary, it is still buying frantically.

Even, he did not hesitate to lower the prices of those precious silk and paper in exchange for food.

The armaments of the Kingdom of Yardley, the purchases of the Qin army, and the grain that was used to make Liannu, all of a sudden, the entire lower city almost became a big granary.

And the war between Yardley and the Rossiting Kingdom finally broke out more than two months later.

Sure enough, as King Rossiting expected.Neither the Temple of Heavenly Master nor the church has ever intervened in the war between the two countries.

Even the church has never paid attention to King Rossiting.

This also greatly increased the confidence of King Rossiting.This means that the church has acquiesced in their actions, and even has a taste of implicit support.

Everything went as planned, and the arrangement of the Yardley army on the front line was broken before even being able to withstand it for a month.

The nearly 30 Luo Xiting army drove straight in, attacking the city and pulling out the stronghold all the way, unstoppable.

In just three months, Rossiting conquered a province in Yardley.

You know, although Yardley's national power is not as strong as Rossiting, it is also the strongest country on this continent except Rossiting.

In just three months, nearly one-tenth of the country's land was lost. Such a thing is unimaginable.

Even King Rossiting couldn't believe it.

The summer is gone and the cold is coming, and winter is coming, and the weather, even more so, drops by more than ten degrees almost overnight.

However, because of King Luoxiting's great success and pushing forward with all his strength, the logistics line of the entire army became extremely lengthy.

The Luo Xiting army, who couldn't keep up with the supplies, could only start to rob the clothes of the ordinary people's homes.

However, the general in charge of the army also knew that what the king wanted was not only land, but also population. This kind of corrupting move must naturally be curbed.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the Rossiting army at the forefront is naturally the most tightly restrained, but it is also the slowest to arrive in supplies.

Under the cold weather, the soldiers had to stop their original offensive.

Morale also dropped again and again because of this.

Half a month later, just when the commander-in-chief was about to be overwhelmed, the quilt finally arrived.

However, what came with the quilt was a strong counterattack from the Yardley Kingdom.

At first, the Yardley army equipped with Liannu had already been defeated on the front line before they could go to the battlefield.

As a representative of the Yardley Empire military, Sean immediately decided to abandon those lands that were easy to attack and difficult to defend.Shrink strength across the board, luring Rossi's army to go deep.

Afterwards, the heavy logistics really brought huge troubles to Rossi Ting's army.

Using this time, Sean accelerated the deployment of Yardley's army.Among them, the powerful Liannu was equipped in almost every vanguard.

A total of [-] continuous crossbows were exchanged from the Qin people for almost half of the grain reserves of the Yardley Kingdom.

It's fortunate that the people of Qin were in urgent need of food, otherwise, the price would have been several times more expensive.

The number of Yardley's army is not large, only half of Rossiting's army.

However, compared to the Rossiting army with a long front line, Yardley's advantage lies in the concentration of troops.

What's more, that continuous crossbow, the moment the two sides came into contact with each other, almost made the opponent unable to raise his head.

It's okay when attacking the city, after all, at that time, you have to estimate your own people, and the Liannu is not very useful.

But once in a field battle, the power of the Liannu will be revealed.Before the two sides fought, Luo Xiting's side had already lost many people.

Of course, these people are not the key. The key point is that when the momentum decreases, morale will naturally decrease.When one rises and the other falls, how can there be any reason to be invincible?
Even sticking to the city is not as easy as imagined.After all, most of the cities that Luo Xiting attacked were easy to attack and difficult to defend.

The Yardley army can be taken even without relying on the power of Liannu.

Therefore, the land that Luo Xiting had swallowed was almost vomited out overnight.

Under the defeat, the 30 army was killed and disarmed.After returning to the Norseman Canyon again, there were only less than 20 people left.

Such a defeat has almost never happened in the history of Rossiting.

After the news was sent back to the capital, the king was so angry that he almost smashed his favorite crystal cup.

The great victory of the Yardley Army, while alleviating King Yardley's worries, also fueled his ambition.

Why can only you call and not me?

Relying on the might of the Yardley Army, King Yardley immediately ordered the army to cross the Norseman Canyon and march into the Kingdom of Rossiting.

This order immediately attracted many Yardley people to rejoice.

Since the founding of Yardley, it has been suppressed by the old overlord Rossiting.Now, there is an opportunity to counterattack, how could it not be exciting?
On the contrary, when the news that the Yardley army had passed through the Norseman Canyon reached the capital, the reaction was even more violent than that of the Yardley people.

Many people immediately quarreled, even if they tried their best to kill the Yardley pigs.

The war escalated again in an instant.
