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

Chapter 544
Chapter 561
As the berserk Western Region coalition forces receded like a tide, the soldiers of the Longxi Army guarding the walls of Bijia City seemed to suddenly lose all their energy and energy, and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Brothers, the reinforcements are here, wake up. Brothers, brothers, Wang, wake up! Our reinforcements have finally arrived! Woohoo!"

Weng Zhong, with two trembling feathered arrows still stuck in his thighs and shoulders, was struggling to move forward on the swamp-like corridor completely soaked in black blood. Every time he passed by a black armored soldier, he would shake a few times and shout a few times. sentence, finally stopped beside Xin Sheng, crying like a child.

The originally rudimentary city walls of Bijia City are now a scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

On the narrow corridors at the head of the city, soldiers of the Longxi army in black armor and shirtless Huns could be seen falling to the ground everywhere, and most of them had a few or even a dozen feathers that penetrated deeply into their bodies. arrow.

Under the Bijia City, which was more than ten feet high, corpses of Qiang people, people from the Western Regions, and Wusun people were piled up under the city, almost equal to the city wall which was less than ten feet high.

Among these corpses, there are almost no complete black armor figures, and there are many corpses of Huns.

Without the help of the Huns, Bijia City might have been captured by the crazy Qiang people long ago.

Maybe it was because the Qin army gave them good treatment as prisoners of war, maybe it was because the Qin army gave up their lives to give them a chance to live for slaves who could be abandoned at any time when the people from the Western Regions attacked and killed them, or maybe even in the When the Longxi army defending the city was in dire straits, they did not force these frightened Huns with weapons to go up to the city wall and defend the city with their lives.

No matter what it is, the end result is the same, with corpses strewn all over the field and blood flowing into rivers.

In the only siege of the Qiang people, when the Qiang people were about to climb to the top of the city, thousands of Huns took the initiative to rush to the top of the city with arrows flying all over the sky, in return for the respect given to them by the Qin army. .

From opponent to partner is actually an instant transition.

The sound of heavy footsteps came one after another, and Xin Sheng persisted until he saw the bright black armor appearing on the top of the wall, and finally passed out.

For three days, the few Qin soldiers in the city stood firm for three full days, but what they got in return was a heavy price.

Xin Sheng's 300 Longxi Army in Bijia City killed 320 people, disabled 110 people, and slightly injured [-] people.Including four [-] masters, eight [-] lords, more than [-] hundred generals, etc. all died in the first battle. , are all seriously injured.

The 1 Xiongnu prisoners of war who built Bijia City killed and injured more than 5000 people.Of course, among the more than [-] people, nearly [-] died in the first wave of Qiang attacks.

Most of the Huben army under Weng Zhong's command was also killed.

The battle report was delivered to Ying Zheng's desk.

In fact, Ying Zheng didn't care about the casualties of people from the Western Regions or other foreign races, and didn't want to watch them at all.

However, what he didn't expect was that the ratio of casualties between the two sides of the empire had actually reached such a state in the battle of Bijia City, which he had never paid attention to at all.

In the emperor's study, Zhang Han, Yang Ruihe, Wang Ben, and Han Xin were sitting on the brocade bench, and they were all silent.

From the look on the emperor's face, he could tell that the emperor was in a very bad mood at the moment.

"If I remember correctly, Bijia City is only one or eighty miles away from Lintao, and only 120 miles away from Yumen Fortress. Why did it take seven hours for the reinforcements to arrive?"

Why the reinforcements arrived so slowly was the first question that popped up in Ying Zheng's mind after reading the military newspaper.

Regardless of whether they were generals or soldiers, he had never doubted their will to fight.

The Longxi Army is the only army permanently stationed in the northwestern frontier of the Great Qin, and it is also the one with the most experience in actual combat in the Western Regions among all the legions of the Great Qin.

Although they were basically destroyed by the Huns before, after reorganization, this army has basically recovered its original vitality.

If the advantages in equipment were removed, Ying Zheng believed that the 10 men of the Longxi Army would not be at a disadvantage in the face of any army in the Great Qin.

This is why Ying Zheng was not worried at all after receiving the letter of the attack on Beacon City.

Another reason is that Bijia City is not alone outside the mainland of Daqin, and there are tens of thousands of elite Qin soldiers behind him on the left and right sides.

If the strategy is used properly, the defenders in Bijia City may be able to wipe out the attacking enemies.Although it is not yet time to go west, but to challenge the majesty of the Qin Dynasty, there is always a price to be paid in blood, isn't it?
However, what Yingzheng did not expect was that the final Battle of Beacon City would be such an unexpected result.

"Return to Your Majesty..."

"It was said in the military newspaper that the foreign races attacked suddenly since Chenshi. Could it be that the defenders of Bijia City had not sent scouts to guard before? That's why those foreign races were caught off guard by touching the door of their houses? Did you think that the Huns were attacked by the barbarians? We are beaten away, and the Donghu people are attached, and I, Daqin, have no enemies? Can I enjoy it? Hmm?"

Ying Zheng threw the military newspaper in his hand heavily on the copper case, and said flatly.

Under the hall, the three important officials of the Great Qin Military Department all got up and stood bowed, not daring to make a sound.

"Written the matter of Bijia City, all armies, as a warning. Tell the generals of all armies that if you forget the battle, you will be in danger! If such things happen again in the future, you will be severely punished!" Ying Zheng said and walked away.

Seeing that the emperor was so angry, the few people did not dare to be negligent. After returning, they immediately wrote about the battle that took place in Bijia City.

In fact, the Battle of Bijia City was nothing to the whole Great Qin. After all, compared to the Longxi Army's invasion of the Qiang territory, Meng Tian's northward march to Koryo, and the Puyu territory, the battle of Bijia City was really child's play.

What's more, in the Battle of Bijia City, the entire Longxi Army defending the city was wiped out. Although the people from the Western Regions who attacked finally retreated, it can't be counted as a victory for the Great Qin.

Many people in the DPRK thought that this fight could not be written in this way, but they couldn't resist Ying Zheng's request, and the cabinet's writing was carried out at Ying Zheng's request.

The writing not only described the whole story of the Battle of Bijia City in detail, but also fully informed the people all over the world that the entire army of the Longxi Army's defenders was wiped out.

This kind of court writing naturally caused an uproar between the ruling and opposition parties.Because this writing seems to be just to tell the people of the world that the Qin Longxi Army has lost a battle.

Did the court make a mistake?Or was Shang Shuxing deliberately trying to embarrass the Longxi Army?
These are the many thoughts that have emerged in the minds of people in the world who have read this essay.
