Daqin Engineering Corps

Then the Qin army guarded the door of the Xiongnu's house in groups of two, one on the left and one on the right, one attacking the other.

The door can only allow one Hun to go out, so although there are many people, one person is always facing two Qin soldiers at the same time, and the door is quickly blocked by dead bodies.

At the same time, Sanlou also launched an attack to block the Huns in the room.

Then, the ignited fireballs were thrown in by Qin Jun.

Shen Bing only heard the Huns in the house crying and shouting in a panic, some lying down and others jumping out of the window to escape, and they were in a mess for a while.

Even Shen Bing was a little surprised by this scene, it was just a few wool rolled into a fireball and then ignited, why should he be afraid of that?

After thinking about it, I understood.

These Huns must have regarded them as the "thunderbolt fireball" of the Qin army.

This is also good, and it saves Qin Jun a lot of effort.

Qin Jun continued to throw fireballs inside while guarding the door, and a raging fire ignited inside after a while.

Chapter 4: Bargaining

The Xiongnu screamed miserably when they were burned, and occasionally a few burning men rushed out of it desperately.

Seeing that it was almost done, Shen Bing ordered his troops to retreat from the wooden building and only guarded downstairs.

If there are survivors of the Huns, it is the dozens of people who jumped from the window at the beginning.

The second floor is okay, there is no major problem in jumping off, but jumping off the third floor and still fully armed, the impact will cause some injuries.

The problem is that these Xiongnu did not understand what was going on, and took it for granted that this was a sneak attack launched by the Qin army and Qiuci together... It is normal to have this kind of thinking, this is the territory of Qiuci, and there is no agreement or acquiescence of Qiuci How could the Qin army have a chance to sneak attack them!

So the Xiongnu stragglers fled outside the city immediately, or "killed" to be precise, because they cut and killed anyone they saw.

As a result, needless to say, dozens of surviving Huns were subdued by the Kucha soldiers who came after hearing the training...half of them were killed, and more than [-] people abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

At the same time, the Kucha soldiers also surrounded Shen Bing and the others.

Shen Bing threw down his bronze sword and raised his hands, and all the Qin soldiers followed suit... Shen Bing didn't want to spoil the big thing for the sake of saving face. If he fights with the Kucha soldiers at this time, all his efforts and victories will be paid for. East flow.

The Kucha soldiers rushed forward and tied up Shen Bing and others.

King Kucha, who came over after hearing the news, couldn't help cursing in anger when he saw this scene.

Shen Bing just watched Qiuci King lose his temper quietly. He knew that Qiuci King was just angry, and he would understand what to do after a while.

When King Kucha calmed down, he asked someone to bring Princess Wuyou.

Princess Wuyou who hurried over saw that Shen Bing was safe and sound, and she let go of her hanging heart. She nodded slightly to Shen Bing, and went forward to greet King Qiuci.

King Qiuci was still angry, and asked through gritted teeth:

"Ask these envoys of the Qin State, what is the reason for killing people and setting fire in the border of Kucha?"

"If the king doesn't punish them for serious crimes, how can he convince the public?"

Princess Wuyou didn't translate, she answered King Kucha directly:

"Father, my daughter thinks that the matter has come to an end, and we should not punish Qin Jun for his crimes."

King Kucha asked:

"How do you say this? Even at this time, you are still protecting the messenger?"

"Do you still remember the hatred of rejecting relatives?"

The worry-free princess replied:

"The envoys of the Huns have suffered heavy casualties. How do the father think we should explain to the Huns?"

"Even if it is explained, will the Xiongnu Chanyu accept it?"

"In particular, some of the Huns' envoys were still killed by Qiuci..."

In this way, King Kucha has nothing to say.

The worry-free princess continued:

"If I wait until this time to punish the envoys of the Qin Army for serious crimes, wouldn't I offend the Huns and the Qin Army at the same time?"

"How can I, Kucha, be spared then?"

King Kucha was startled.

Neither the Xiongnu nor the Qin army can be offended by Qiuci. If they offend both at the same time... wouldn't that be courting death?

Princess Wuyou went on to say:

"It's my daughter's opinion that the father should reconsider the alliance."

"In other words, we should form an alliance with the Qin army instead of the Huns."

"What does the father think?"

King Kucha's face turned cold.

He faintly felt that this matter was not that simple.

For example, how did the envoys of the Qin Army know that the envoys of the Huns were in Kucha?

Not only know the Huns envoy but also know its exact location.

Recall that Princess Wuyou has always opposed her alliance with the Huns, and then she understands seven or eight points.

But the matter has come to this point, King Kucha has nothing to do, he can only nod his head and signal the guards to untie the envoys of the Qin army.

The guard asked one more question:

"My lord, should the envoys of the Huns also be untied?"

King Kucha replied coldly:

"Chopped!"

The guards couldn't help being stunned, but they didn't dare to ask more questions, so they gave an order, and the heads of the [-] or so surviving Hun envoys fell to the ground and splashed blood on the spot.

King Qiuci stepped forward to apologize to Shen Bing and said with a smile:

"This king is planning to take the Xiongnu envoy into custody, but if he doesn't want to, let the envoy go ahead."

"I don't know if there are any casualties in the messenger's party?"

Princess Wuyou couldn't help the smile on her face when translating these words, she glanced at Shen Bing's side, and added:

"I knew you would win!"

"But I don't want to win so easily."

Shen Bing replied:

"It's actually not easy..."

Then he pointed to a bit of scratched skin on his hand, a little burn on his forehead, and...

Princess Wuyou couldn't help laughing, then hurriedly hummed, turned her head and said to King Qiuci:

"Father, don't worry, there are no casualties in the Qin army, and the alliance discussed with father in the past remains unchanged."

"Furthermore... General Qin didn't intend to reject the relatives, and will definitely send someone to bring up the matter of marriage again in the future."

King Kucha was both surprised and happy, and asked:

"Is this true?"

"Can the words of the messenger count?"

Princess Wuyou turned her gaze to Shen Bing, and asked solemnly:

"Father asks you, will General Qin come to Qiuci to propose marriage in the future?"

Shen Bing cupped his hands and replied:

"After returning to my aunt, I will definitely persuade the general to propose marriage immediately, without any delay."

Princess Wuyou seems to be a little worried:

"What if you don't come?"

This made Shen Bing embarrassed, and asked:

"How can the princess ask me to guarantee it?"

The worry-free princess replied:

"The envoy stays. Whenever the general comes to propose marriage, I will let you go."

"how?"

Shen Bing was stunned for a moment.

But thinking that Princess Wuyou was joking, she turned around and said to King Qiuci:

"It's true, the envoy will ask someone to propose marriage when he returns."

"Father, you don't need to worry too much."

This made King Qiuci a little confused.

Didn't Princess Wuyou have always been unwilling to marry the Great General of the Qin State before, why did she agree without persuasion now, and even had some expectations?

The envoy clearly had mutual affection with Princess Wuyou, so why did he persuade the general to propose marriage at this time?

This envoy is just a cavalry general, how can he persuade the general to propose marriage?

But after thinking about it, King Kucha has no other choice at this time, so he can only nod and say:

"So good!"

"Then, tomorrow morning, the envoy will go back to my aunt to persuade the general..."

Princess Wuyou interrupted King Kucha:

"Father, it's not too late, they plan to leave immediately."

Princess Wuyou said this not only for the purpose of proposing marriage earlier, but also for worrying that Shen Bing and his party would stay here and have many dreams... If King Qiuci hesitates and changes his mind, it will be a waste of time.

So the sooner Shen Bing and his party leave, the better.

King Kucha nodded and said:

"That's good, then there will be a labor messenger to speak kindly to the general!"

As soon as he said that, he was led to horses and camels, and some supplies were also given.

Shen Bing didn't say much, he bowed his hands to King Qiuci and Princess Wuyou, and said:

"Wait for my good news!"

Then he got on his horse and led a group of people out of the city.

King Qiuci looked at the back of Shen Bing and his party, and sighed:

"This envoy is quite courageous. He actually attacked more than [-] Xiongnu with more than [-] people at night!"

"The Qin army can do this with a hundred generals, so how can it not be victorious!"

Princess Wuyou suppressed the excitement in her heart and replied calmly:

"Father, he is not an ordinary person."

"He is Qin State General Shen Bing!"

King Qiuci stared at Princess Wuyou with wide eyes, and asked in surprise:

"What did you say? He is the Great General of Qin!"

Chapter 461 Allied Forces

Once out of the city gate, Shen Bing is safe.

Because the news that Shen Bing was in Kucha had been spread before, the two thousand Shenwu troops who were looking for Shen Bing immediately gathered near Kucha from all directions.
