Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 113 Beacon fire and wolf smoke
Chapter 113 Beacon fire and wolf smoke
In a wine shop opposite the inn.

Chen Ping hid here and quietly looked across.

To be honest, he didn't have much confidence in using poison this time.

Because he accidentally remembered something Xiang Liang said.

During the battle between Zhao Gang and Luo Wang, the soldiers of the city defense battalion once shot and wounded Zhao Gang with poisoned arrows.

The bows and crossbows of soldiers in the patrol battalion of the state of Qin are all equipped with universal wolf poison. Once wolf poison enters the body, there is absolutely no possibility of survival.

But Zhao Gang was still running around, and he offered Ying Zheng the elixir of rejuvenation.Even if he was poisoned, there might be a way to detoxify him.

Just as he was thinking, a person suddenly ran in from outside.

"The big thing is bad, the big thing is bad, the Huns, the Huns are calling."

The few guests in the restaurant suddenly stood up in shock.

Chen Ping put down the wine cup in his hand and walked out of the wine shop quickly. On the city wall not far away, the sky was filled with fire.

Chen Ping had never seen the beacon fire, but he had heard it from many people, so he naturally understood what the beacon tower meant.

The barbarism and ferocity of the Huns are famous all over the world. For Chen Ping, they are a group of bloodthirsty beasts.

Before Chen Ping could react, the shopkeeper behind him had already grabbed a kitchen knife from his home and ran out.

"Shopkeeper, what is this?"

"My wife and children all died under the iron cavalry of the Huns. I have endured it for a long time. Now that these guys dare to come, even if I die, I will avenge my wife and children."

After all, he picked up the kitchen knife and rushed out.

The Huns attacked, and there was a commotion in Zengcheng.

According to common sense, when the tiger and wolf enemies attacked, the people in the city would inevitably flee in all directions.

But Chen Ping found that everything seemed unreasonable.

Many middle-aged people like this store grabbed all kinds of weapons and rushed towards the gate of the city.

It seems that at this moment, they forget even death.

This spirit deeply shocked Chen Ping.

"It's obviously a death situation, why do these people have to go to die?"

"Don't think that everyone is the same. Everyone living in Shangjun has survived by blood feud with the Huns. Revenge is their hope of survival."

Chen Ping was startled and looked back, only to see Zhao Gang, Gao Jianli and others appearing at the door of the inn.

Don't mention how embarrassing it is for enemies to meet.

"Zhao Gang, what do you mean by that?"

Zhao Gang sneered, and looked at Chen Ping in front of him: "What do you mean, you know in your heart, I don't want to waste my time with you here. Xiao Gao, Xue Nu, now that the Huns are attacking, I have to go back to the army. Yu Ji and Xiang Liang will leave it to you."

Gao Jianli nodded and said: "Don't worry, my lord, as long as Zengcheng is still there, we will definitely not let them have the slightest mistake."

Zhao Gang bowed his hands and saluted, took one last look at Chen Ping and walked quickly towards the city gate.

Gao Jianli watched Zhao Gang leave, then turned his head and went back to the inn.

And Xue Nu looked at Chen Ping with a look of disgust.

"Using poison is such an indiscriminate move, thank you for thinking of it. The old country uses people like you as counselors. It seems that there is really no hope of restoring the country."

After all, he turned his head away.

Looking at the back of Xue Nu leaving, Chen Ping blushed with shame.

It's a pity that these people didn't give him a chance to defend himself, they could only let him sulk alone.

The camp of the Qin army outside the city.

The moment the beacon tower ignited, Yingzheng quickly summoned his subordinates to discuss the military situation.

At this moment, the gates of Zengcheng are closed. Except for some residents who have actively signed up, all others have been temporarily settled back.

"Your Majesty, the sentinels came to report that the vanguard of the Huns appeared fifty miles to the north." Wang Ben strode in, his face full of excitement.

The Huns' attack was the best thing for them.

In this way, they can save the trouble of going deep into the grassland. If they can completely defeat the Huns within the Great Wall, the Huns will definitely not pose any threat to them again within a few years.

"Good come!"

Ying Zheng slapped the table fiercely, and the generals around him were also full of energy.

It was not the first time that the Huns attacked the frontier fortress, but most of the time they attacked some small cities. For a tall city like Zengcheng, they would not attack by force because of the lack of siege equipment.

After all, they are only for looting, so naturally they will not take too much risk to attack the city.

"Your Majesty, give the order!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, our 20 army is ready to go. As long as His Majesty gives an order, we will fight out together with the Jiuyuan army, and we will be able to defeat the Huns outside the Great Wall in an instant."

Looking at the generals in front of him who were eager to try, Ying Zheng's face felt a little relaxed.

"Since the generals are so impatient, then I will not object, and order the various ministries to prepare to attack."

As the coach, Wang Ben took a step forward, turned around and looked at everyone present.

"Former general Xin Sheng."

"Xin Shengzai."

"I order you to lead the front army to set off first, with [-] cavalry in front and [-] infantry behind. You must get off to a good start and severely damage the main force of the Huns."

"Hi!"

"Left Army Commander Li Xin."

"Li Xin is here."

"I order you to lead an army of [-]. After the front army is dispatched, quickly outflank the Huns' flanks and be ready to cut off the Huns' retreat at any time."

"Hi!"

"The remaining generals will guard the military camps and obey orders at any time."

"Hi!"

After Wang Ben finished counting troops, Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction.

"Everyone, this is a key battle for us to defeat the Xiongnu. If we can beat the enemy at the foot of the Great Wall, it will save time and loss for our next battle. Therefore, I hope you can cheer up and resolve to fight."

"Jijiu Lao Qin, go to the national disaster together."

"Refund!"

All the generals dispersed one after another, and Ying Zheng was free to look at Wang Ben, who was close at hand, and hurriedly asked, "Where's the brat?"

"The minister has sent someone to inform him."

"When the brat comes back, tell him not to go anywhere, and let me stay in the Chinese army."

"This...Your Majesty, you also know Zhao Gang's temperament, I'm afraid I can't persuade him!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand: "When the two armies are fighting, the sword has no eyes. If he is injured, it will be a great loss to the empire, so no matter what, he can't do anything. Do you understand?"

"I understand."
