Cultivation of empire in the world of immortality
Chapter 64: Capture Donghai City
After the Wang family made up their minds, they called all the talkers on Taoyuan Island together to discuss important matters.
"Family heads, you may have heard about the tragic death of my Wang family's children on the Xizhou Continent. I have called you here not for my Wang family's affairs, but to discuss how to deal with the situation on the Xizhou Continent. The Qin family has the ambition to unify the continent. Ambition is not a good thing for us!"
"Master Wang, no matter how powerful the Qin family is, it is impossible for them to fly to us. Otherwise, why have they never seen anyone from the Qin family? Besides, the main threat to us in the sea is the bandits wandering on the island, right? Do you think so? ah?"
"Master Zhang is right. Another ship of ours was attacked by pirates the day before yesterday and suffered heavy losses."
"Everyone, please look further. We have been exiled here from the mainland. Only when we come ashore can we develop better. We must think more about future generations. Master Li, do you think this is true?"
"Master Wang is right, but we don't have the strength to compete with the Qin family, right? We shouldn't abandon the family property here just to go ashore!"
The Li family leader is right, the Wang family leader should lead everyone to defeat the pirates."
"Yes, that's the truth."
Everyone said that many small families have no confidence in going ashore for redevelopment, so they are not very interested in intervening in mainland affairs!
"In that case, let's discuss the matter of maritime safety." Wang Jiazhu saw that everyone was in a hurry, so he changed the topic.
At this gathering, each family on Taoyuan Island didn't come up with anything special. They all had their own little Jiujiu.
The three members of the Wang, Li, and Zhang families were discussing in a Li family restaurant.
"Brother Li, can you tell us about the Qin family? I think niece Li must have written to you."
"Brother Wang, my little daughter did mention the Qin family in her letter, but there is only very little information. There are nearly three million people and nearly one hundred thousand soldiers. There is no other information."
"With so few people controlling such a large territory, we have a lot of opportunities to get a piece of the cake. Do you two have any intention?" The head of the Wang family couldn't help but encourage.
"Brother Wang, we have the intention, but we don't have the strength. Piracy has been rampant recently, and most of our efforts have been invested in it."
The head of the Wang family was also secretly feeling happy. Even before he contacted Wandering Island, the drama had already begun. God was really helping the Wang family.
Finally, the Li family and the Zhang family also hinted to the Wang family and promised not to hold them back.
After taking down the two major enemies and dealing with the small families, the head of the Wang family directly marked the price, asking each family to bear a share, and promised to share the profits.
The small families had to pay some "protection fees" to get the Wang family to stop.
After stabilizing every household on the island, the Wang family's army weighed anchor and set sail to the west. After half a month of sailing at full speed, the Wang family's fleet was only about 500 kilometers away from the mainland and merged with the Zhao family's welcoming fleet. The changes in the Zhao fleet were also carefully detected by the Qin army.
In the past half month, the Third Army of the Qin Army had trained more than 5,000 Wang family troops. The four brigades of the Third Army took turns to fight against the Wang family's crossbow formation, and also took turns to assist in the defense of the five reserve regiments of Donghai City.
The battle on the southern front turned into a real-life combat exercise for the Qin Army, and the combat effectiveness of the Third Army was basically equal to that of the First and Second Army. For the Third Army, which had been in existence for more than half a year, it was growing rapidly.
Qin Zhong received the information that the Wang family's 15,000-strong army came in force, covering 500 kilometers in just one day. Without time to ask for instructions, he discussed with his four cousins and decided to dispatch five regiments of the Qin Wei army to attack the Wang family's fleet at night. Since it was the first time to fight at sea, there was no place for the flying knights to rest, so the battle was difficult and they could not carry much supplies. Finally, considering that light weapons could not cause damage to warships, I decided to use kerosene and bed crossbow arrows. The bed crossbow was bought from the Liu family.
After Mrs. Liu's rectification, the Liu family never made any trouble to the Qin family again.
When there were still more than a hundred kilometers away from the shore, the Qin army flew towards the sea. After some searching, the position of the Wang family's fleet has been basically locked. The Zhao family reminded the Qin army that they are capable of fighting at night, so the last 500 kilometers were specially planned to be traveled during the day.
The Qin army's flying cavalry circled over the Wang family's fleet for confirmation, and then threw the oil cans downwards. At one time, more than 200 warships were hit, and the rockets that followed made the people on the ship panic. There were three levels The strong men of the Wang family counterattacked with arrows. From time to time, some Pegasus horses were hit by arrows and fell into the sea. Fortunately, they were caught by their comrades.
Some of the warships had small fires and were quickly extinguished, while a small number of them were swallowed up by the fire.
Seeing that the fire attack was effective, Qin Jun's flying cavalry threw down the crossbow arrows and returned to Donghai City to get the fire oil can. The five reserve groups asked the Liu family or a family friendly to the Qin family to make fire oil jars. This move of the Qin army frightened the Zhao family. They thought it was to deal with their Zhao family fleet, so they hurriedly hid the warships in the small island group and installed crossbows on each small island.
The Wang fleet was attacked and only lost a dozen warships and only one to two hundred casualties. However, the helplessness of being unable to fight back also damaged their military morale. The Wang family also asked the Zhao family to gather the capable troops in Donghai City to hold back the Qin army with all their strength and create opportunities for them to go ashore.
The Zhao family now only has 10,000 navy capable of fighting, but they are all avoiding the Qin army. The remaining 10,000 city guards in Donghai City no longer listen to the Zhao family. Therefore, Zhao Donghai is helpless.
During the one hundred kilometers away from the mainland, the Wang family fleet was attacked by fire more than ten times, losing more than thirty warships and more than a thousand people. If the third-level elders had not requested to go ashore, the captains of the Wang family would have stayed away from the shore and chosen another place to land.
After approaching the shore, the Wang family released a small boat carrying the soldiers and rushed towards the land. The Qin army, with the blessing of the third-level clan elders, lowered its height and launched a devastating attack on the enemy boats. The first wave of two thousand landing troops was wiped out by the Qin army two miles away from the shore.
Seeing that the landing was unfavorable, the Wang family's fleet joined the Zhao family and left. With the Zhao family's naval base covering them, they could finally take a breath.
After receiving the news that reinforcements from the Wang family had arrived, Qin Bao decided to stop training and prepare to launch a decisive battle.
The Qin army suddenly stopped calling for formation today, which made the more than 4,000 remnants of the Wang family who were surrounded suddenly feel bad.
At this time, people from the Zhao family who were close to the Qin family found Qin Bao and suggested to him to force the Wang family army to surrender here and take him as a hostage, and he was willing to be a lobbyist.
After thinking about it, Qin Bao decided to give him half a day. If the Wang family cannot surrender before sunset, he will launch a general attack.
When the people of the Zhao family arrived at the Wang family camp, they sighed when they saw the dilapidated camp, and they felt relieved about the vicious words of the Wang family. When he made his purpose clear, the general of the Wang family army roared angrily, "Shuzi, we are here to help you, but you want us to surrender?"
"Does the general have any other options? I see that your army's horses are all gone, but do you still have rations? Can you still hold on? Your reinforcements can't get ashore. Even if they get ashore, can they rescue you?"
A series of question marks appeared in the mind of the Wang family general, and the more he thought about it, the more he became depressed.
"Did we lose more than five thousand brothers in vain?"
"We have suffered heavy losses in order to protect your army. Please generals, please think carefully about your people. The Qin army only gave me half a day. If there is no result before sunset, they will launch a general attack."
"Take sir down"
After the guards took the Zhao family down, seven or eight generals started to quarrel. Some wanted to fight to the death, while others said it was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
The commander-in-chief Wang Shi'an couldn't make up his mind for a while and was a little unwilling. Deputy General Que Youyou said, "The lives of our Wang family members are in everyone's hands."
The generals who heard these noisy words also lowered their heads, their eyes filled with moisture, and the general also said in a low voice with red eyes, "It is my incompetence that has caused the brothers to fall into this situation. I decided to take the brothers home. I will bear all the consequences.”
"General, it's not your fault, it's the Qin army's cowardice and shamelessness."
"That's enough. Let's arrange for the brothers to destroy the bed and curse the heavy weapons. Let the Zhao family arrange it."
"General, destroy the weapons..." the deputy general said worriedly.
"Okay, go and appease everyone." After saying that, he picked up his sword and gently stroked the hilt that his wife had wrapped for him. As if he had made some kind of determination, he raised his sword and pulled his neck. Before closing his eyes, he saw his family crying for him, but not being implicated by him. Finally, he closed his eyes forever in relief.
"General, general" a guard exclaimed when he discovered that the general had committed suicide. This vision caused the generals who had just walked not far away to rush back.
He cried bitterly and shouted, "General, general, send the military doctor quickly, quickly"
The devastated generals of the Wang family and the Zhao family came to the Qin army camp to bring the war to an end.
The Qin army took more than 4,000 Wang family remnant troops into separate custody. When they saw the weapons and armor that had been vandalized, they saw that they had been destroyed by people. The treatment of the prisoners of the Wang family was also reduced to the minimum. They could only eat half full of ordinary food once a day. If they did not cooperate at all, they would be whipped by Qin soldiers. The deputy general also sighed after seeing this, and he despised Wang Shi'an even more. Why would he do something like this after losing? He already wanted to dig a hole for the soldiers, he was really a villain.
The news of the surrender of the remnants of the Wang family reached Donghai City, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The commander of the Wang family fleet also breathed a sigh of relief. It would be easier if they were not completely wiped out. He immediately sent out a negotiator.
Chang'an City, the base camp of the Qin Army, also received the results of the war on the southern front, and discussed how to deal with Donghai City.
After soliciting the opinions of the Qin Liu family, the Executive Yuan and the Privy Council jointly issued the measures to deal with Donghai City. The solution requires: First, the Donghai City Guards accept the reorganization of the Qin Army. Second, Donghai City is a county town in Donghai County and does not have a city lord. Third, the commercial tax was drawn at 1/50 per Qin army mainstream, which was much lower than the original commercial tax. Fourth, each family is not allowed to have more than a thousand guards.
For those who do not cooperate, the Qin army is authorized to act expediently.
Ouyang Feiyan also asked the Privy Council to reward her for her merits. She took the Lingqianzhuang to prepare spiritual stones and spiritual objects.
At this time, Qin and Han were looking for the Light Spirit Wood in the Tianshen Mountains with their treasure-hunting crows and Wangcai. He has now reached the upper level of the third level of formation and weapon refining, and his wind attribute cultivation has also caught up with the five elements attributes. It is time to make a flying boat. Although Xizhou is barren and the most backward in the Immortal World, like a world of high martial arts, Qin and Han Dynasties are still there. Even if the tower spirit is a big data collector, it can still find many ways to cultivate immortality based on the information from past lives.
For example, the pagoda spirit has summarized corresponding cultivation techniques for wolves, birds, horses, cattle, deer and other spiritual animals, although they cannot be practiced until the third level. This reminded Qin and Han of the various magical powers and magic weapons in the myths of cultivating immortals in previous lives. Limited by the existing conditions, Qin and Han decided to get the important flying boat out first.
After searching for information, he selected second-level light spirit wood as the main material and went to the Tianshen Mountain Range to search. The spiritual trees were not found, but many new species were added to the ancient pagoda space, and the ecology in the ancient pagoda space was more complete.
When Qin and Han were about to return, the call of the treasure-hunting crow came from the sky. With the help of the pagoda spirit, it, the Wangcai siblings, and the third-level and above spiritual beasts such as Jiuselu began to practice the exclusive immortal cultivation method. They no longer need to rely on eating as their only way to practice. They can use exercises to absorb and transform the spiritual energy. They also like to go out and wander around the ancient pagoda space, especially the prosperous wealth and treasure-hunting crows who are close to the Qin and Han Dynasties.
Wangcai carried Qin and Han to the treasure-hunting crow. The wealth in the forest was unmatched by Pegasus. In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the edge of a canyon, with a large amount of light spirit trees growing at the bottom of the canyon. After bringing some light wood and saplings into the space and marking the location, Qin Han went back to arrange for people to harvest them.
Returning to the clan, Ouyang Feiyan told him about the results of the war and various work arrangements. Qin Han was very happy after hearing that the fiscal revenue and expenditure were almost reaching balance. He can use more spiritual stones to cultivate his relatives and subordinates. Nowadays, Qin Han has a lot of reserves of third-level red spirit stones, which he and his relatives accumulated when they couldn't use them all. Ouyang Feiyan practiced so fast in this environment that he was already in the middle of the third level and was almost catching up with Qin Han who was in the upper third level.
After Qin Han gave his family some spiritual objects obtained in the mountains, he and Ouyang Feiyan met with the Li family in Xianwei Tower. Qin Han decided to win over the Li family of Taoyuan Island who were friendly to the Qin family. The sea is also the future pasture of the Qin army, so it is very necessary to plan in advance. After a secret conversation with the Li family, the Qin family and the Li family were considered quasi-allies.
And this Li family will be stationed in Chang'an City.
The meritorious soldiers on the northern front arrived in Chang'an City one after another. They met the increasingly heroic military leader and felt the majesty of Chang'an. Although it had not been built yet, it greatly enriched the soldiers' knowledge.
After a parade to praise their achievements, the soldiers received rewards from Qin and Han personally, which made the soldiers of the Second Army feel greatly honored. Both material and spiritual satisfaction made them love Qin and Han even more.
The celebration banquet was held amidst the shouts of long live the military leader. They indulged in drinking, eating meat, singing and dancing, and the Qin and Han Dynasties mingled with the soldiers.
The Qin family's handling of Donghai City was uneventful. After some negotiations, the Wang family redeemed the captives.
The Zhao family was divided into two factions. Some people who were afraid of Qin's revenge followed Zhao Chengfei to Taoyuan Island, accompanied by a hundred warships and more than 4,000 naval officers. The remaining more than 5,000 Zhao navy was reorganized by the Qin army.
The head of Donghai County brought a group of officials from the county to move into the former city lord's palace, which marked that Donghai City officially belonged to the Qin Army.
The Privy Council issued an order from the Qin and Han Dynasties, requiring Qin Zhong of the Third Regiment of the Qin Wei Army to form a Fourth Army in Donghai City. The Donghai City Guards were reduced to two horse-mounted heavy infantry brigades, and ten reserve regiments were recruited to form a light cavalry brigade and a Heavy Cavalry Brigade. The Ninth Regiment of the Qin Wei Army was also temporarily classified as the Fourth Army, maintaining four brigades plus two flying cavalry regiments.
The weapons are Tang Dao, Mo Dao, spear, bow, crossbow, and bed crossbow, but no catapult. All members wore first-level armor, their war horses were first-level Beihara horses, and they captured red deer, etc.
Qin Dong, the twelfth old man, was appointed as the naval commander and was responsible for establishing the Qin Navy, which was tentatively composed of 10,000 people and 500 large and small warships.
The two were ordered to set up the framework and then return to their clan to receive the reward. After the Third Army returned to Qianshui Lake Camp, Qin Bao also returned to Chang'an City with representatives of the soldiers.
After a set of procedures, Qin Han also made the representatives of the Third Army support him even more.
After the generals, except for the First Army of the Cuona Lake Camp, all arrived in Chang'an City, and after a large celebration banquet, the Qin and Han Dynasties inspected each unit and summoned the generals to the military academy for a post-war summary.
