I'm playing tricks in Daqin

When picking up a girl, giving roses is very romantic, and the girl's favorability rises in a straight line, but it is not as fierce and domineering as a glittering diamond ring, just as you wish.

Occasionally, Li Wei would send jewelry to his wives and concubines to make them happy, and sometimes he would cheat and send expensive gold and silver jewelry as a kind of compensation.

After using thunderous and iron-blooded methods to frighten all the powerful families in the area, the New Deal was implemented smoothly and gained the support of all the people, and the situation gradually stabilized.

It was late autumn at this time, and the war on the entire continent was still going on, and it was even more tragic than before. Everyone wanted to grab a piece of cake before the winter came and the snow fell.

Under the city of Xinyang, the Jin army is still desperately attacking the city. Mingzhu led the army and civilians in the city to resist tenaciously, killing a large number of Jin army's vital forces, and the city is still impregnable.

The offensive and defensive battles in Pennsylvania City were equally fierce. The Zhou army launched wave after wave of crazy attacks. He Jin led the soldiers of the Black Tiger Legion to resist tenaciously. Not small.

Except for Zhou Empire, which was lucky enough to capture Shuzhou and Shangluo County, and Jin Empire captured Tiandu Yiyang County, the other empires spent countless money and food, lost tens of thousands of soldiers, and did not reap any benefits.

Although the Golden Empire won the two counties of Tiandu and Yiyang, they failed to win the county of Xinyang. , In fact, it is only to occupy Tiandu County and open the northern gateway to the Central Plains.

Analyzing in detail, as long as the generals guarding Xinyang and Pingyang don't get dizzy or make mistakes, even though the Jin army has occupied the northern gate of Tiandu County, it will be quite difficult to go south to compete in the Central Plains.

Although the Zhou Empire captured the two counties of Shangluo and Shuzhou, it lost a county of Yiwu before, which was actually only 211. The cost was countless money and food and the lives of more than 15 soldiers, which was a bit outweighed.

However, compared to other empires, at least by winning the two counties of Shangluo and Shuzhou, Zhou King Chu Wangjiang not only had a good face, but also had an explanation for the powerful families in the country.

The ones who took advantage of it should stand still before the number, and when everyone is having a good time fighting, the Qin Empire suddenly sent troops, not to mention the Yiwu County of the Zhou Empire, and captured the Jin Empire in one breath. Lintong, Jianghuai, Fengdu, three county cities along the river, and then took Xinyang, Huangzhou, Yanyun, Binzhou four county cities, which means that he swallowed a quarter of the big cake of the Jin Empire, which is very enviable and enviable.

To say that the one who hates the Qin Empire the most is the King of Zhou, Chu Wangjiang, who was kidnapped and taken away from a Yiwu county. Out of overall considerations, he endured it. Seeing that the army was about to take down the Binzhou county in one go, the Qin people With a horizontal shot, he snatched the city of Pennsylvania County from him. Uncle can bear it, but aunt can't bear it.

The enraged king of Zhou ordered the army to take the county of Binzhou at any cost, and kill all the Qin people in the city. For this reason, he also offered a big reward for promotion, which is really great This inspired the soldiers of the former Qian, and made them all excited like chicken blood, roaring and launching a brave and fearless attack.

The dream is infinitely beautiful, but the reality is extremely cruel. No matter how brave and desperate Ren Zhou’s army is, the city of Pennsylvania is still impregnable. Loud, very eye-catching.

Zhou Jun paid a lot of casualties. He was unable to attack for a long time, and his spirit was prematurely ejaculated. No matter how much the officers encouraged or threatened, the exhausted soldiers just did not work hard. When they attacked, they roared very loudly. The defenders on the head fired a few waves of arrow rain, and they retreated immediately. This made Zhou Jun's commander very helpless. It was useless to cut off the heads of many retreating soldiers. With the first heavy snow in winter, Zhou Jun The troops had no choice but to withdraw in desperation, and all the flames of war on the mainland were extinguished one after another.

The war has temporarily stopped, and all countries have withdrawn their troops to rest. At the same time, they are also busy raising various military supplies to prepare for the rest of the cake in the spring of the coming year.

The Qin Empire was also exhausted, spending countless money and food for this series of battles that were more lively than the battle of the century, and had to dispatch a large amount of food to appease the people in the occupied area, and 5000 soldiers died in battle. There were so many people, nearly [-] were injured, and the main casualties came from the tragic defensive battles in Xinyang and Pennsylvania. Of course, the casualties of the Jin army and Zhou army who attacked the city were three or four times as high, which definitely hurt the muscles. It hurts, and it is difficult to recover without five or six years of recuperation.

The capacity of the people has almost reached its limit, and Daqin is temporarily unable to expand further. In addition, it has occupied so many territories at once, and it will take a certain amount of time to stabilize and digest them. The strategic goal within three to five years can only be defense, and holding the occupied territories is victory.

For example, the four provinces and counties of Xinyang, Huangzhou, Yanyun, and Binzhou are all plains, with criss-crossing rivers and many fertile fields. They are famous grain production bases. With these four provinces and counties, as long as the weather is good, one year is enough to solve the food supply problem in the occupied area. One year allows the people to have a surplus, the third year can accumulate war energy, and the fourth year can start a new war. This vitality recovers faster than other empires.

Of course, the premise is to defend the three frontier counties of Xinyang, Huangzhou, Pennsylvania.

In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, after repeated discussions, He Jin was appointed to be in Binzhou County, Mingzhu was in Xinyang County, Tian You was appointed as the county guard and was responsible for guarding Huangzhou, and Wen Junchen was still his deputy and military adviser. The two were regarded as golden partners. , and an outstanding figure among the second generation of officials, he is deeply sought after by his peers and has become a good example for them to learn from.

A large number of civil servants transferred from the country have all arrived at their places of duty, exercising their powers and governing the local area, which also relieved the pressure on the generals.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, congratulations, Your Highness."

When the war was over and all countries withdrew their troops one after another, Wu You flattered Li Wei desperately and held up a map of Cangyun Continent.

Seeing the national border marked with cinnabar on the map, Li Wei was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing. Before that, he was only focused on robbing the city, and then he was busy stealing girls. He never paid much attention to the size of the Great Qin Empire. As soon as Wu You reminded him, he just discovered that the territory of the Great Qin Empire had expanded by more than three times, and transformed into the largest of all the empires in the mainland. He couldn't hide his pride for a while.

It's really not easy to finally be promoted to the big brother... Thinking of all the hard work before, Li Wei couldn't help feeling overwhelmed, brother, for survival, for the harem, is it easy?

Chapter 473 The Snowy Night Raids the City

Xinyang County City, North City Head.

Wearing a fur coat, the bright pearl stands on the top of the city, looking into the distance, letting the heavy snow of goose feathers fall on her body.

"Anything on your mind?"

Li Wei asked softly, after the war ended, the soldiers who went on the expedition returned home in turn to rest, and at the same time sent a powerful general to take over Mingzhu to guard Xinyang County.

But Mingzhu was worried and insisted on staying and guarding. Li Wei had no choice but to agree, and he came to "reward" his concubine.

"I'm just worried about the people in Yiyang and Tiandu..."

Mingzhu let out a low sigh, the Jin people burned, killed and looted, they were so cruel, God knows what kind of suffering the people in the two provinces and counties will suffer?

She is also from the Jin Empire, so she is naturally worried about these people, and she only wishes to unify the mainland as soon as possible and save the people from the dire straits.

"Sanggong also wants to unify the mainland as soon as possible, end the war, and save the common people in the world, but... oh..."

Li Wei sighed heavily, with a very helpless expression on his face. He was telling the truth, and he really wanted to unify the mainland as soon as possible.

It's just that the thoughts in my heart are not as great as what I said in my mouth. Saving the common people in the world is just a passing excuse. If the mainland is unified, there will naturally be no more wars, and the common people will naturally be liberated.

"But don't worry, Xianggong assures you, that day won't be long!"

"This concubine will devote all her life to helping my husband realize his great ambition of unifying the mainland and saving the common people in the world."

A warm current surged in Mingzhu's heart, she took the initiative to grab Xianggong's arm, and leaned into his embrace.

Even for a loving couple, being so intimate in front of everyone is somewhat scary, but she was so touched by her husband's great ambition that she couldn't help herself.

Li Wei couldn't help but raised his hand to touch his cheek, it was a little hot, but... But, this is also a kind deception, right?

At least, he thought so.

"It's windy outside, let's go back."

Li Wei held Mingzhu's hand tightly, and said softly, his concubine sacrificed her life for him, which moved him very much, and he must make up for it.

When she met his scorching gaze, Mingzhu couldn't help but blushed. She couldn't help but understand Xianggong's fiery eyes. While shy, there was bursts of happiness in her heart. If a husband is like this, there will be more in this life. What is there to regret?

In the dead of night, the sky is freezing cold, and people have already curled up in the warm blankets and fell asleep deeply.

On the top of the city, the patrolling soldiers and sentries were very dedicated to their duties, braving the heavy snow and biting cold wind to stand guard and watch the movement outside the city vigilantly.

After the snow fell in winter, all the wars stopped, and the empires had withdrawn their troops to their respective lines of defense. However, Mingzhu did not relax his vigilance because of this, and still ordered the soldiers to strengthen their vigilance to prevent the Jin army from suddenly returning to attack and seize the city.

The soldiers of the Phoenix Legion have all been tempered by blood and fire. In addition, Mingzhu is strict in running the army. The soldiers under his command strictly abide by military discipline and conscientiously patrol and watch. Even the recruits who have just been recruited are also influenced by the veterans. In such bad weather, no one is lazy.

On a section of the city wall in the northern city, four octopus soldiers on duty rubbed their hands and stomped their feet from time to time. Even though they were wearing warm winter clothes, cotton shoes and gloves, their hands and feet were still numb from the cold after standing for a long time, so they had to move from time to time. Hands and feet were frostbitten.

"who?"

A recruit who had just been recruited into the Phoenix Legion seemed to feel something moving on the snowy ground not far outside the city, and instinctively shouted, while leaning on the wall with his hands on, he looked down the city with wide-eyed eyes.

Although it was night and the bonfires below the city were extinguished by the falling snowflakes, the vision was still relatively clear within a certain distance due to the reflection of the snow.

A white shadow suddenly appeared on the white snow field. To be precise, it was a person in a white cloak who quickly drew his bow and shot an arrow towards the top of the city.

"what……"

The recruit was a little slow to react. He was shot in the eye by the roaring arrow, and fell to the ground with a miserable cry.

Under the city, countless white shadows jumped up from the white snow, holding weapons, carrying ladders and other siege equipment and running towards the city.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

The other three sentries were taken aback and quickly sounded a warning.

The sound of the alarm gong pierced the silent night and woke up all the soldiers and civilians in the city.

The northern army camp was nearby, and the soldiers in the camp jumped up from their couches when they heard the loud sound of the alarm gong, quickly put on their clothes and shoes, picked up their weapons, rushed out of the barracks, and then rushed to the top of the city led by the officers.

At most, Du Khan knew that if he could not win Xinyang County, Dajin would not be able to gain a foothold in the Central Plains. Unwilling to retreat, he played a carbine move, trying to kill Mingzhu by surprise, and seized the opportunity to take Xinyang County.

The white cloak is that during his march in the evening, he found that the warriors of the Hari tribe in white winter clothes were not easy to be found in the white snow, so he temporarily used the white cloth in the army to make more than 2000 white cloaks. Tribal warriors put on their clothes and sneaked under the city.

The plan was indeed successful. Under the cover of night and heavy snow, the tribal warriors in white cloaks successfully sneaked into the city, but they were accidentally discovered by the recruit on duty.

In fact, the recruit just felt something flicker in the corner of his eye, and instinctively let out a shout, but the golden soldier sneaking close to the city was nervous for a moment, thinking that he had been discovered, and had to attack the city forcefully.

Under the city, densely packed golden soldiers set up ladders and climbed to the top of the city. Many tribal warriors threw out long ropes, caught the walls, and then grabbed the long ropes to climb up.

In many cases, Khan wanted to raid Xinyang County City. Apart from the simplest siege equipment such as ladders and long cables, heavy siege equipment such as thunderbolt chariots and towers were too bulky to carry.

On the top of the city, three sentries and two patrols from Wen Xun took the lead in the battle. They cut off the long ropes covering the wall with their swords, and the tribal warriors who grabbed the ropes and climbed the city screamed and fell to the snow, raising their formations. There was a burst of snowflakes, and the white snow was instantly stained red with blood.

Some of the soldiers carried rocks and rolled logs to knock down the golden soldiers climbing up from the ladder, and some pushed the ladder with forks, and several of them worked together to push down the ladder, and the golden soldiers on the ladder fell to the ground. If you are lucky, you just break your hands and feet, but if you are unlucky, your neck bone is broken and you die on the spot.

There are also soldiers who shoot and kill the enemy with bows and arrows, but the number is too small. There are a large area of ​​Jin soldiers under the city, and there are more than [-] ladders erected. .

"Kill the enemy with me!"

A sentinel roared, and rushed forward with his sword. With one sword, a golden soldier who had just climbed up to the top of the city fell to the ground, and he was also chopped by another golden soldier, and fell into a pool of blood.

The golden soldier was also pierced with spears by several soldiers who rushed over, and the body was thrown down the city. As more and more golden soldiers climbed to the top of the city, the thirty or so soldiers guarding the city suddenly fell into a trap. Fighting hard, more than half of them were killed in a few breaths, and the flowing blood soon froze into red ice.

Although the tribal warriors who raided were brave and killed all the more than 30 city defenders, before they could catch their breath, a large group of officers and soldiers rushed to the top of the city, drowning them like a tide.

On the top of the city, countless torches shone like stars, soldiers on both sides fought bloody battles, and the roar of killing resounded through the sky.

In the prefect's mansion, Li Wei is working hard to practice the long-life kung fu of double cultivation. Since Mingzhu dissipated the inner kung fu of Xuansuju, she has been taught by the patriarch Gu Daoren the more mysterious and mysterious kung fu. , not only make up for all the lost internal energy, but even surpass the previous ones, officially stepping into the realm of the master level.

Mingzhu inadvertently discovered that the Nine Suns Divine Art practiced by Xianggong can help her to speed up her cultivation, and it is also of great benefit to Xianggong himself. Therefore, whenever she has free time, she will practice double cultivation with Xianggong. It's just that both of them are busy with military affairs. There is not much time for double repairs.

The thundering gong sounded suddenly, startling Li Wei and Mingzhu. The two hurriedly closed their efforts, jumped up and hurriedly dressed, then left the mansion surrounded by guards, and went straight to Beichengtou, where the roar was the loudest. .

At this time, all the golden soldiers attacking the city had been killed by the soldiers of the Phoenix Legion. The soldiers were beating the attacking golden soldiers with various siege weapons. Call down.

Mingzhu stands tall on the top of the city, braving the snowflakes and arrow rain to scan the entire battlefield in the northern city. Li Wei snatches a large shield from a guard and wants to rush forward to protect his wife, but Xiao Xiaoxiao and Qing'er both carry it back. .

Both girls have helpless expressions on their pretty faces, it’s fine if you are out there flirting, but now it’s a war, white knives come in, red knives come out, it’s life-threatening, it’s not a trifle with girls, why are you joining in the fun Well, do you know that people are worried to death?

Chapter 474 Suspicion

Xiao Xiaoxiao and Qing'er didn't dare to speak out even if they had complaints in their hearts. Xianggong was indeed a little mischievous sometimes, but if they replaced Mingzhu's sister's current seat by themselves, I believe Xianggong would do the same.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way..."

Li Wei yelled loudly, and beat the guards blocking the way with the iron leaf shield in his hand, but the guards formed several layers of tight human walls and squeezed him tightly in the middle.

Unable to push away the guards blocking the way, Li Wei was very helpless. After calming down, he left a team of guards to protect Mingzhu's safety, and then obediently went down to the city. Everyone was secretly relieved. What they feared most was that His Royal Highness suddenly Hotheaded.

On the top of the city, the sound of roaring and killing was loud, and the city defenders arrived in time, hacked and killed all the golden soldiers who climbed up, and firmly guarded the position at the top of the city.

Mingzhu's visit to the front line to supervise the battle in person made the soldiers more motivated and their combat power exploded, but Ming issued an order that shocked the soldiers, don't fight too hard, save some effort, so that Jinbing feels that it is possible to capture the city.

Surrounded by a group of guards, Li Wei walked down the steps step by step. When he saw soldiers crowded around the city gate, piles of thick and heavy iron armor and Mo Dao were under their feet. His heart moved, Mingzhu wanted to beat him up Jinren's plan to have a meal?

The camp was created by him alone. It is one of the three ace armies of the empire, and it is also the most expensive heavy armored infantry. He is naturally familiar with it. He can only see that the soldiers who squeezed down near the city gate are all tall and big, and they are bigger than calves. Soldiers who are even stronger will be known to be soldiers in the camp.

The trapped camp is one of the three ace armies of the empire, and it is natural for them not to be able to defend the city. Mingzhu ordered the soldiers of the trapped camp to gather at this time, and it must be a counterattack.

After the armistice, the soldiers who went on the campaign returned home in batches. It was considered a long vacation, and the soldiers who were trapped in the camp were among them. The camp was full of 5000 people. The first batch of 500 returned to the country during the long vacation. There are still 500 people staying in Xinyang County. , coupled with the cooperation of various military services, is enough to fight a battle with the Jin army.

How can we miss the wonderful show?Li Wei immediately turned around and went back to the city. The guard wanted to stop him, but he kicked him away, "Go away, Your Highness wants to watch a big show!"

Xiao Xiaoxiao and other guards had no choice but to surround him and go back to the city. The guards held an iron leaf shield to protect him firmly.

Mingzhu did plan to fight a counterattack. The soldiers who fought in the battle returned to China in turn to rest. There were still 500 infantry stationed in Xinyang County, 3000 heavy armored soldiers, [-] light cavalry, and Shang Xingyun. Three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry are more than enough to teach them a lesson.

Mingzhu is not a god, and she never expected that Duo Budu would dare to launch a surprise attack under such bad weather. Fortunately, she kept ordering the soldiers to strengthen vigilance, so Duo Budu could not succeed.

When he is in love with his husband, you don't know what's good to disturb him, it's really hateful!Mingzhu was very upset, and all her anger was spread on her body. Of course, there were other reasons. In this bad weather, to avoid being discovered by Yebushou, she would definitely not dare to march during the day, so she could only march at night. Marching, hurrying on the road, heavy siege equipment must not be carried, this has been confirmed in offensive and defensive battles.

Not only the heavy siege equipment cannot be carried, but the food and grass carried will definitely not be a lot, which is only enough to consume for a few days. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Jin army that attacked the city this time will not be many, only 3 people about.

Another one, most likely the scar is healed and the pain is forgotten, and today he has to let him hurt again.

After watching the offensive battle of the Jin army, she had made a decision in her mind, and then issued a series of orders. The [-] heavily armored soldiers who were trapped in the camp gathered near the north city gate, and another [-] crossbowmen cooperated with the trapped camp. After the assault, there are [-] infantrymen who are ready to fight the dogs in the water.

Shang Xingyun's three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry and three thousand light cavalry assembled at the east and west gates respectively, outflanking the two wings of the Jin army and defeating the main force of the Jin army in one fell swoop. Shang Xingyun's three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry were also tasked with pursuing .

Regardless of the bad weather, it is nighttime and the vision cannot be far away, which will have a great impact on both sides. Mingzhu is worried that there will be another ambush, so she plans to delay the counterattack until almost dawn. The order was issued to the soldiers guarding the city.

At this time, the beating is too hard, and it will make everyone feel pain and despair, and lead the army to retreat. From time to time, the gold soldiers will be sent to the top of the city and then slaughtered. On the contrary, it will make everyone feel that there are not many guards in the city. , let him feel that there is a possibility of capturing the city, so he will continue to attack the city.

On the snowy ground outside the city, Dudu Khan supervised the battle surrounded by a group of tribal leaders. If he could not win Xinyang County, Dajin would not be able to gain a firm foothold in the Central Plains, let alone his grand plan to win the Central Plains.

When the heavy snow fell, he had to order the withdrawal of the army, but he was very unwilling. All the way he was thinking about how to take Xinyang County. Let him make up his mind to take another gamble.

He was in a hurry and wanted to avoid the Qin army's night refusal. During the day, he could only camp and rest. When he marched at night, the logistics and supplies could not keep up. He simply ordered the army to stay in the camp and led [-] elite soldiers himself , carrying ten days of dry food, and returned to Xinyang.

However, the night attack turned into a strong attack due to the vigilance of the Qin army's sentries, which made him sigh again and again, why didn't God help him?

Under his supervision, even without heavy siege equipment, the tribal warriors who only attacked the city with ladders and lassoes still launched wave after wave of strong attacks. Although the losses were not small, it gave him hope to capture the city.

The tribal warriors climbed to the top of the city several times to fight with the Qin army, and the position on the top of the city changed hands several times. Unfortunately, because too few warriors climbed to the top of the city, they failed to hold the position in the end.

However, this shows that there are not many Qin troops in the city, maybe there are only 10 people. Although the information obtained is that there are at least 40 to [-] Qin troops in the city, but the truth is true and false, People in the Central Plains like to exaggerate. There are only [-] people, but they just brag about an army of [-] to [-]. Just listening to this number can scare people to death.

Dadu Khan had confirmed from the battle that there were not many Qin troops in the city, but he still felt a little uneasy. Is Mingzhu in the city?

He admitted that Mingzhu is very powerful, but she is not a god after all, as long as she is a human being, she has weaknesses, so he is not afraid of Mingzhu, but Mingzhu is too powerful, and if she makes a slight mistake, she may catch her fighting opportunity, so, Suspicious, he has always been cautious.

According to the information collected by Yebushou, Mingzhu did not return to China, and was still sitting in the city. However, during the continuous siege, the resistance of the Qin army seemed a little chaotic.

One must know that Mingzhu is strict in running the army, with clear rewards and punishments, and is extremely supported by the soldiers. Because of this, the army she commands is definitely an elite with super powerful combat power. The powerful combat power of the Phoenix Legion is enough to prove her ability.

The fiery red phoenix battle flag fluttering above the city is the unique logo of the Phoenix Legion. The Qin army stationed should be the Phoenix Legion under Mingzhu's command. He has fought many times. He not only understands the strength of the Phoenix Legion, but also fears it. However, although the Qin army defending the city is tenacious, its combat power is almost slightly lower than that of the previous Phoenix Army.
