Cultivation of empire in the world of immortality

The first, second, third, fourth, and ninth armies of the Qin Army, ten regiments of the Qin Wei Army, and fifty regiments of the reserve army were all concentrated outside Chang'an City. This was the first time the Qin Army had assembled on such a large scale. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Qin army will make a big move.

The army rested for three months. During these three months, the northern snowfields were almost settled. Half of the people stayed on the snowfields. The Executive Yuan also established an airship route. The big forest was no longer a forbidden area that was difficult to traverse. The superior products of Xueyuan were swept away by Qin merchants. The prosperity of commerce drove the development of the local area. More and more people gave up herding and turned to other industries.

Militaryly, forty reserve regiments were formed from tribes in the snowy plains and have been training at Tianmayuan Camp for more than a month.

In the Privy Council, Qin and Han discussed with everyone the battle to unify the south.

In this battle, the Qin and Han Dynasties decided to fight in person, leaving the Eighth Army to guard the Qianshui Lake camp, and a regiment of Qin Wei troops to guard Chang'an City.

The military council decided to head south from the southern coast of Donghai City. First capture the coastal cities, and then attack from the outside inward. With Qin and Han here, the logistics pressure is greatly reduced, and the logistics department only needs to hire people.

This time, most of the Privy Council officials will accompany the army, with Minister of Military Justice Qin Xianer staying behind in the Privy Council.

The State of Qin was left to the care of the Supreme Prince, his wife, and the princess. In fact, Ouyang Feiyan was at the helm, while the Qin and Han parents were busy practicing. And his sister Qin Daya also came to join in the fun with her battalion of saintly guards.

On the ninth day of September, after offering sacrifices to their ancestors, the Qin and Han dynasties set out on a journey with their armies.

The army moved south along the coast. This was the first time that people along the coast saw so many cavalry, hundreds of thousands of warriors. Most of the cavalry had two riders per person, and the heavy-armed troops had three riders per person. This is still considering going south. It is of little significance for the cavalry to bring too many horses. Many soldiers only bring one spare horse. The soldiers are also happy to see this. After all, they are responsible for taking care of the horses assigned to them.

The army came to the first city, Sanji City. It is named after the three best products, the best sea ginseng, the best pearls, and the best seafood banquet, so the trade is particularly developed.

Sanji City has a population of 300,000, and there are more than 20 towns surrounding the city, each with a population of more than 10,000. There are only 30,000 city guards, but they are luxuriously equipped, all equipped with second-level spiritual armor, and their weapons are second-level hundred-stone crossbows and long knives.

When the Qin army was arrayed outside the city, the 30,000 city guards of Sanji City and 100,000 young men in the city were waiting on the city wall. Seeing that the enemies were all cavalry and flying military flags with the word Qin, the city lord Chen Kaibang frowned. He learned from the merchants that a force called the Qin Army had risen and was constantly conquering east and west, and was extremely warlike. Now, to reach here so quickly is unbelievable.

He observed that the Qin army's military formation was neat and tidy, and their morale was as high as a rainbow. It looked like they were elite soldiers in a hundred battles. Although they were all cavalry and it was inconvenient to attack the city, they certainly fought well.

Several horses appeared from the military formation below the city, and they came to the city and shouted, "We are the army of the Qin State. We follow the way of heaven and unify the Western Continent. For the sake of your future, we must quickly open the door and surrender, and we will not wait until it is too late."

As soon as he finished speaking, a hail of arrows came towards him. Seeing the enemy like this, the Qin army launched a siege formation. One after another, ballistas and catapults were thrown in front of the formation. It felt as if they could not be seen at a glance. There were no less than a thousand of them.

Dozens of flying boats flew from behind the Qin army's formation and came to the sky above the city wall. They ignored the flying arrows and threw boulders calmly. The formation on the city wall was broken and the buildings were destroyed. The defenders and young men He was busy looking for a corner to hide.

The rain of rocks was mixed with the rain of arrows, and the Qin army archers in the air were shooting at the city wall as if they were shooting at a fixed target. An hour later, less than half of the Sanji City guards and their young men who were passively beaten were killed, but they didn't even touch the enemy's hair.

This was a massacre. The deputy general of the city guard selected three thousand death squads determined to leave the city and fight to the death. As long as the enemy attacks the city, the air strikes will inevitably stop.

The Qin army saw the enemy leaving the city. When the enemy was far away from the city wall, the first brigade of the First Army took orders to attack. After three rounds of cavalry shooting, the cavalrymen tested the range of the enemy's bows and arrows, then wandered outside the range, shooting while running.

The three thousand death squads were slowly killed. After another hour, only a few dozen of the city guard death squads were still standing. At this time, the Qin army began a routine to persuade them to surrender, and the entire trapped army was annihilated.

A sense of sadness enveloped Sanji City. The Qin army also stopped attacking, and the first day of the battle ended. Three of the four city gates were surrounded by key points. If someone escaped secretly, the Qin army did not pursue or stop them, but did not allow citizens to escape on a large scale.

In the middle of the night, after the military meeting, the generals returned to their tents one after another. Only Qin Han and some personal guards were left in the Chinese army's tent. Not long after Qin Han fell asleep, the tower spirit alerted him that a high-level assassin was hiding on the roof of the tent.

Qin and Han pretended not to know and waited for the enemy to take the bait. After an hour, the enemy secretly took action and blew a large stream of smoke into the tent. Qin Han hid in the ancient pagoda space, threw a wooden figure on the bed, and asked the pagoda spirit to spy on the enemy's actions, and immediately imprison him as soon as he reached the confinement range.

The man in black approached the bed cautiously, but as he walked, he found that his movements were greatly restricted. He was busy fighting with his luck and spiritual energy, and only when he used all his trump cards could he be a worthy contender. He immediately wanted to escape, but Qin Han quickly came out of the ancient pagoda space to block his way, stabbing him with a long spear, breaking his personal formation, and the power of space confinement further restricted his ability to move.

Qin Han found the opportunity to stab him with a spear, and carried the enemy into the ancient pagoda space with his spear. In the ancient pagoda space, Qin and Han were the gods here, so they pulled off the enemy's mask.

The enemy was a middle-aged man with an immortal spirit, but through the spiritual energy detection, the tower spirit found that he was a strong person of the fifth level and the first level. If he was any stronger, Qin Han would have to attack him.

After Qin Han inquired to no avail, he just threw him into the Jueling Formation and asked the tower spirit to ensure that he would not die.

After leaving the space, it was still quiet outside the tent. Patrols passed by from time to time. Qin Han did not intend to comment on the attack. The soldiers outside were still unable to fight against the fifth-level powerhouse.

There were several people sitting across from each other in the Chen family's secret room in the city. They were all quietly waiting for the results of their ancestor's actions. They didn't see anything strange about the Qin army until dawn. The city lord who couldn't wait hurriedly ran to the city wall to watch. Seeing the Qin army preparing for battle in an orderly manner, his heart sank to the bottom.

This time, a flying boat flew toward his location. Chen Kaibang quickly avoided it, only to see the flying boat in the sky shoot an arrow and then leave. A sergeant handed him an arrow with a letter attached to it. When he opened it, his eyes darkened and he almost fell over. The general next to him hurriedly supported him.

It turns out that Qin and Han wrote "Thank you for sending me the fifth-order gift."

On the second day of the battle, the Qin army once again killed a large number of enemies in the first half of the day, and persuaded them to surrender in the second half of the day.

Seeing that there was no hope of defending the city, Chen Kaibang sent an envoy to negotiate for surrender. Qin and Han met the envoy from Sanji City and told him the Qin army's bottom line. If he didn't accept it, he could continue to fight.

After a night of struggle, Chen Kaibang opened the city gate at dawn and led Sanji City officials out to surrender. In order to guard against fraud, the Qin and Han Dynasties went to accept the surrender in person. Fortunately, there was no accident, and Sanji City was captured in this way.

After quickly capturing the first city, the Qin army began to attack cities farther south in two ways. In half a month, they captured Zimu City, Ali City, Lingxu City, Baiye City, Liusha City, Duolang City, and Xingbao City. , seven cities with populations ranging from 300,000 to 500,000 people.

The Qin army also suffered 800 casualties. The Qin and Han Dynasties asked the army to rest and maintain stability on the spot, waiting for the arrival of officials from the Executive Yuan.

Neighboring coastal cities learned that the northern barbarians had captured eight cities, and there was a faint tendency to unite.
