The Jagged Empire of Daqin

Ming Wang Dong Li had already ordered that as long as there was any noise outside the pass, no matter if it was a wild dog, a wild cat, a hare, or even a cricket, just shoot a wave of arrows; The night outside the pass has rained several waves of arrows.

Fortunately, the Dong family is rich and has sufficient weapons, otherwise it would not be enough for such a huh huh.

Qingkou Pass is built between two cliffs, the left and right city towers are adjacent to the cliff on one side, and under the cliff adjacent to the left city tower, there are more than a dozen figures swaying in the night. Hang a sharp sword, if they wear a black mask, it's like an assassin.

"This cliff is four feet high. With our martial arts, it's not difficult to go up, but when going up, don't make any noise, or you will be discovered!" The leader of the black-clothed man said cautiously.

The rest of the men in black nodded.

"You queens, the rest, go!"

"understand!"

After leaving a few queens behind for the first man in black, he led the rest of the men in black to fly over the eaves and walls. All the men in black had good martial arts foundation, and they stepped on the rock wall without making a sound, just like ghosts.

The soldiers of the Yan army on the left tower next to the cliff didn't notice anything strange at all, and they didn't even know that someone had already climbed the cliff higher than the tower under their noses. On the cliff, you can see all the situation of Qingkou Pass in your eyes!

The speed of this group of men in black was very fast, especially the leader of the man in black jumped over and jumped up when he was still a foot away from the top of the cliff.

"It's changed so soon?"

In vain, a lazy voice sounded from behind the head of the man in black. The man in black suddenly turned around, and saw a Yan army's dark whistle in black chain mail lying in the grass. The man in black saw the swallow Jun, couldn't help staring, and that Yan Jun stared suddenly when he saw the man in black.

"enemy..."

"Pfft!"

Yan Jun Anshao was about to shout out in terror, but before he could do so, the leader of the man in black immediately drew his sword and stabbed it into Yan Jun's Anshao's open mouth. !" The leader of the man in black drew out his sharp sword, splashing out a stream of blood, Yan Jun's dark whistle also lowered his head, laying motionless on the ground!

dead!

"Dong Li is really vigilant, there is a secret whistle here!"

The man in black who jumped up the cliff behind couldn't help but smacked his mouth, surprised by Dong Li's caution.

"It's dangerous, I was almost exposed, you all be careful, pay attention to observe the surroundings, especially the grass, Zhao Shang, Zhao Min, Zhao Jun, you three go over there and have a look, if you see the dark whistle, kill it immediately!" The leader in black The man said with a cautious face.

"En!"

The rest of the men in black who followed nodded in agreement, and the man in black whose name was called went to the designated location to check, looking for the secret sentry of the Yan army.

After a careful search, nine secret sentries of the Yan army were finally found. Without exception, all of them were killed on the spot. It has to be said that although Dong Li is cautious, his soldiers are not so cautious. The dark whistle was killed by the head man in black, and the other nine dark whistles were sleeping...

"Brother Cun, the secret whistle has been dealt with!" A man in black walked up to the leader and said.

The man in black at the head nodded, and then stood on the edge of the cliff with a stern face. He looked at everything at Qingkou Pass with ecstatic eyes. From a high place, he could see far away. All the guards and troops at Qingkou Pass were deployed. , were all seen by the leading man in black.

However, the Yan army who closed the Qingkou Pass could not see him at all. Even if someone looked up in the direction of the man in black, they could not see him, but could only see a piece of darkness, because there were no torches and no light on the cliff, while Qing The gate is brightly lit, so you can see everything at a glance!

The headed man in black kept shooting at the Qingkou Pass, especially the Yanjun Barracks, and watched carefully, but compared to the brightly lit Qingkou Pass, the Yanjun Barracks was completely pitch-black. nothing.

"Generally speaking, when the two armies are at war, food and supplies are placed in the camp of the central army to prevent the enemy from going around and burning the food and supplies. However, in this kind of siege battle, the rear is the safest, and the supplies and supplies should be placed in the rear. Army camp!" The leading man in black murmured and analyzed.

"Then we go around?"

"We have to go around, but we have to leave ten brothers, put on the armor of Yan Jun's secret sentry, so as to prevent Yan Jun from noticing that the secret sentry is killed!"

"it is good!"

Next, the ten men in black began to peel off the armor of the Yan Army's dark whistle, and put on Yan's black chain mail and black tasseled helmets. The man in clothes walked along the edge of the cliff and chose to make a large circle to the rear of the Yan Army barracks.

After about half an hour!

Behind the Yan Army Barracks!

The Yan Army barracks is very large, after all, it is a barracks of 20 troops, so the eight men in black walked around for half an hour before arriving at the back of the Yan Army barracks. The patrolling Yan army patrolled with torches.

And the man in black also saw the situation of the Yan army's camp by patrolling the torches held by the Yan army!

food!

The food piled up in the shape of fortresses is right in the middle of the rear army camp. The food is placed in this position, and the men in black don't need to sneak into the barracks. They can burn the Yan army's food directly by standing on the outside with a fire.

Seeing the target of this mission, the eight men in black were quite excited, but they all resisted taking any action, because the Yan Army patrol team hadn't left yet, they were still patrolling here, and they needed to wait for this patrol team to leave. Otherwise, even if the fire is successfully ignited, the Yan army will be extinguished soon, and the goal of burning all the rations of the Yan army will not be achieved at all.

After about a stick of incense, the Yan Army patrol team finally left, and because the training team left, the Yan Army Rear Army Camp was once again plunged into darkness. Without any light, it can be said that you can't see your fingers. Fortunately, the eight The men in black are all masters of martial arts, and their eyesight is several times better than that of ordinary people.

"action!"

Following the order from the leader in black, the eight men in black bowed and moved towards the rear camp. Dong Li didn't expect that someone would go around the rear camp, so he didn't set up secret sentries around the rear camp.

At the same time, the handsome tent located in the center of the Yanjun barracks, like Qingkou Pass, is brightly lit. In the right side of the handsome tent, Ming Wang Dong Li worriedly looked at the map of Mingguang County hanging on the wall. Looking at it, while reaching out to touch the map, a look of reluctance!

Dong Li knew very well that with Zheng Long's surrender and Liu Zhendong's disastrous defeat, even if he defended Qingkou, he would not be able to defend Mingguang County, because the Qin army could attack the rear of Mingguang County after breaking through Jiyuan County. I just got the news that Zheng Long's army is marching towards Mingguang County. I believe that Zheng Long's army will enter Mingguang County in a short time.

There is Zheng Long in the north, Qin Emperor Yujia in the east, and Qin General Zhao Hua in the west. They are enemies on three sides. Even if he is a supernatural being, he can't resist the enemy's attack!

But knowing that he can't stop it, he still wants to stop it, he has to stop it, he can't just give up Mingguang County like this, if he really wants to do this, the Dong family will be ruined in this chaos, he is the only one now What can be done is to stick to Qingkou, let Qin Jun suffer a little bit, and then negotiate!

"Qin Empire, Qin Empire, is there no use for your strength? You have nothing to do to intervene in the civil war of the Yan Empire. If you hadn't participated in the war, I am afraid that this king has chosen three of the nine counties of the Yan Empire and made the Dong family a new one." The royal family is not bad!" Dong Li couldn't help complaining to the map, and the hatred for the Qin Empire in his heart was as hard to extinguish as a raging fire.

It is not without reason that Dong Li said this sentence. Among the five kings and eight lords, except for Zheng Long, he has the most soldiers and horses, and the background of the Dong family is also very important. In terms of comprehensive strength, Dong Li is the number one in Dayan power.

Moreover, although Zheng Long claimed to have millions of armors, there are at least 70 old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are no millions of troops at all. They just blow it out on purpose to increase their momentum. It is precisely because of this that Dong Li is never afraid of Zheng Long. Long, even wanted to swallow Zheng Long in one gulp.

"It's not good, it's not good, the granary is on fire!"

"Quickly put out the fire!"

"Water, come on water!!"

Unexpectedly, at this time, heart-piercing panic came from outside the tent. Dong Li in the handsome tent heard the movement outside the tent, his face turned pale as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and immediately ran out of the handsome tent in a panic!

"quick!"

"Fire out!"

"Quick!!!"

When Dong Li ran out of the account, he saw that the originally quiet camp had become extremely chaotic. A large number of Yan army soldiers ran back and forth in a hurry. Army officers and soldiers are already putting out the fire with buckets.

"Hurry up and put out the fire!" Dong Li roared, his body trembling with anger, and a hint of fear appeared on his face.

This is all the rations of 20 troops. If all of them are burned, the troops will be cut off and their morale will be shaken. If it is more serious, it will lead to the fall of Qingkou Pass. What will be the consequences of Qingkou Pass's fall?The consequence is that there is nothing left!

"call out!"

In vain, a piercing sound resounded throughout the camp, and then the generals of the Yan army saw a red light rising from somewhere in the camp. When the red light soared into the sky, it illuminated most of the camp and countless Yan soldiers The terrified faces of the soldiers.

Flare!

"It's all right to burn my food and grass, but you still set off a signal flare to provoke me. Do you really think that this king is a vegetarian? Come, send a battalion of troops to surround the place where the signal flare rises, and the rest of them, quickly fight the fire!" Dong Li's face was grim, and he was furious ordered!

"Report!"

Just when Dong Li gave the order, a captain of the Yan Army hurried over, and before Dong Li could ask any questions, the captain of the Yan Army panted heavily and said, "I want to report to the lord, something is wrong, The Qin army has conquered the key point!"

"What!" Dong Li was shocked, and then turned his head to look at the burning granary, "I know, it was the Qin army who sent people to burn down our army's granary, disturbing our army's morale, and then took the opportunity to attack and break through. Thoughts!"

"My lord, how did Qin Jun get around behind us?" Yan Jun Duwei asked with a puzzled face.

"Snapped!"

Dong Li slapped him across the face, pointing at Captain Yan Jun who was covering his face, and scolded: "You bastard, what time is it, you still ask this useless question, why don't you hurry up and gather heavy troops to defend against the Qin army? What are you doing, go!"

"Yes Yes!"

The aggrieved Lieutenant of the Yan Army hurriedly bent down to answer, and soon passed on the order to gather heavy troops, but due to the fire in the granary, the barracks were in chaos, many generals could not find their own men, and there were so many orders, I don't know whether to fight the fire, arrest people, or go up the tower to resist the Qin army,

In the end, it was Dong Li himself who stabilized the chaotic barracks. 1 people put out the fire, 1000 people surrounded the place where the signal flare was launched, and all the rest of the troops pressed up on the tower to resist the Qin army!

Outside Qingkou Pass!

I saw countless black armored soldiers holding torches, forming an army formation and standing [-] steps away from the pass, so that the originally dark pass was brightly lit. The color of horror.

The enemy army suddenly came under pressure, and the backyard caught fire again. In such a situation, the elite army would be in chaos, not to mention their untrained army. Mess up.

"Fire arrows!"

A strong voice came from the Qin army array!

As soon as the [-] crossbowmen heard the order, they had already prepared, they immediately pulled the crossbow trigger and shot towards the tower!

"Boo! Hah! Hah! Hah! Hah!"

"Boo! Hah! Hah! Hah! Hah!"

A series of sharp piercing sounds sounded, and thousands of arrows were hidden in the air through the night, and finally drew a perfect arc and fell on the tower!

"puff!"

"Ugh!"

"what!"

"Dodge, dodge... poof!"

Under the night, the chaotic Yan army couldn't see the arrows coming at all. For a while, one arrow after another shot at the soldiers of the Yan army on the tower, splashing bright blood flowers, accompanied by tragic wailing With a loud noise, corpses fell one after another.

"Boo! Hah! Hah! Hah! Hah!"

"Huh! Huh!"

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

The crossbowmen of the Qin army gave full play to the characteristics of the continuous crossbow, and shot powerful arrows without indirection, while the Yan army on the tower was under the torrential rain of arrows. Under the dense arrow rain, a large number of Yan troops shot arrows. Fell to the ground, lying on the ground exclaiming in pain.

"puff!"

"Ugh!"

The blood spattered all around, making the originally clean city tower extremely bloody. With a gentle breeze blowing, the Qin army outside the pass and the Yan army inside the pass could smell a disgusting bloody smell, and the drainage pipes of the city tower continued to flow out Blood, dyed the city walls red.

This is not a war at all, but a brutal massacre!

"Sword shield soldiers and crossbowmen line up, counterattack!"

"Counterattack!"

"Hurry up! Bastard!"

The generals at all levels of the Yan Army who were hiding under the protective wall let out roars one after another. Under the general's yelling, the Yan Army's sword and shield soldiers and crossbowmen officially entered the arena. In a breath, I thought, with the protection of the shield, I should not be afraid of the Qin army's crossbow array.

"puff!"

A sword and shield soldier who had just climbed the tower was shocked, and looked down at his chest in disbelief, only to see an arrow stuck in his chest, his own blood was flowing out along the arrow, and the shield in his hand was also broken a hole.

Qin Jun's arrows actually shot through the shield!

thump!With a sound, the sword and shield soldier fell to the ground with a muffled voice full of unwillingness, becoming a dead body, and it was still a dead body with doubts.

Is the Qin army so strong?Can even shoot through shields?

"what happened?"

"The shield was shot through!"

"what!"

The sword and shield soldiers who followed behind learned that the Qin army's arrows could shoot through the shield, so they were frightened and did not dare to go up the tower. Seeing this scene, Dong Li, who was in charge of the battle, ran over angrily and shouted angrily: "You bastards, why don't you hurry up, don't tell me you're too timid to fight!"

"No, my lord, the Qin army's arrows are too strong, and the shields can't resist them. We will die if we go up!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The sword and shield soldiers replied bitterly.

"The shield is useless?" Dong Li was taken aback for a moment, then grabbed the shield from a sword and shield soldier, and weighed it carefully. He stabbed with the shield.

I saw that the saber was like a magic weapon, piercing the shield with ease, and where the shield was pierced, tiny sawdust leaked out!

"hateful!"

Dong Li's eyes widened with anger, and he smashed the shield on the ground. The shield was smashed to pieces, and a lot of fine sawdust burst out. Seeing this, many sword and shield soldiers understood why the Qin army's arrows could penetrate the shield!

It turned out that it wasn't how strong the Qin Army's crossbow array was, but that there was something wrong with the shield!

The standard shield is made of two layers of solid wood. This kind of shield is easy to manufacture and low in cost. It is often selected by the empire as a standard shield. If there are some conditions, a layer of copper is added between the two layers of solid wood. If the country is extremely wealthy, two layers of solid wood A layer of copper skin is added in the middle, and a layer of iron skin is added on the front and rear sides.

The dragon shield of the Qin army is special. The dragon shield is made of two layers of iron wood, one layer of copper skin, and two layers of iron skin. If you think that the iron skin produced by the Qin Empire is the same as that of other countries, you are completely wrong. Wrong, the Qin Empire has superb forging technology, and the quality of the iron sheets produced is several times that of other countries, it can be said to be indestructible!

Although the Dong family, one of the ten great families of Dayan, stood behind Dong Li, the Dong family could not match the country's heritage. After all, a family is a family, and an empire is an empire after all. Therefore, Dong Li can only use standard shields and spend money. Bought from merchants.

But now it seems that he was completely deceived by the profiteer who sold the shield. This shield is not made of two layers of solid wood, but two layers of thin surface. In order to deceive him, the profiteer even added sawdust between the two layers of thin wood , to enrich the thickness of the shield.

"Ji Wudao, I'm going to kill you!" Dong Li's face was flushed, and he roared with incomparable anger, his hand holding the sharp sword was trembling, completely out of anger!

As for this Ji Wudao, he is a merchant who sells shields, a Xia merchant!
