Chapter 178: Border Beacon
Desolate State.
Qin State.
Northern ice fields.
Winter is here as promised, and the cold wind blows across the endless ice fields, picking up countless crystal snowflakes and falling down as light as feathers.
The sky is full of flying snow, like a grand snow feast, dyeing the whole world in pure white color.
In the midst of thousands of miles of ice, a group of more than a thousand immigrants trudged through the snow.
Although the road is difficult and dangerous, their faces are all filled with a smile called "hope".
The place they want to go is north of Dayan Mountain.
The snow season there lasts for seven months every year. Even if the snow melts and spring returns to the earth, it still doesn't make people feel warm.
But the worse the environment, the more generous the rewards!
The north of Dayan Mountain produces a kind of strange flower that is only found here.
Bluegrass.
This strange flower does not have the magical medicinal effect of the living dead with flesh and bones, and it looks very ugly, but it can extract colors that make all women uneasy!
Well, this flower is an ingredient in cosmetics...
Scarce in quantity and expensive in value!
For this reason, even though the immigration team suffered from extreme cold one after another on the way, and many people lost their hands and feet due to the cold, no one stopped moving forward!
After all, the habits of bluegrass are very strange.
It will melt directly when the weather is slightly hot, and the colder the surroundings, the more vigorous the growth!
After Dayan Mountain became the territory of the Qin State, the climate became colder under artificial control in order to obtain a large amount of this valuable orchid.
The immigration team walked for a long time, and the snow became heavier and heavier.
Even the strongest among them could not bear it any longer, so after a brief discussion, they chose to find a leeward place to camp and rest.
Fortunately, when they set out, they received enough food, tents, kerosene and other supplies from local officials, so they had no worries about hunger and cold.
It didn't take long.
Construction of a temporary camp for migrants is completed.
Next, of course, he lit a fire and boiled water to warm his body as quickly as possible.
At this moment, the Qin soldiers escorting the immigrants suddenly became serious in their eyes, and they lay on the ground and listened carefully.
They are all Xiantian realm warriors. They have sharper ears and eyesight than ordinary people and can make judgments quickly.
"A large group of people are approaching quickly!"
"Everyone on alert!"
…
Orders were conveyed quickly.
Immigrants take action.
The men held weapons and hid behind the outermost snowdrifts, while the women and children huddled in the center of the camp.
Everyone looked worried.
Especially the men.
Many of them are just farmers who have just put down their hoes. Although they have learned some martial arts skills on the road and gained more than a hundred kilograms of strength, they have no fighting experience after all. When encountering powerful enemies, they are just cheerleaders...
Therefore, the warriors in the immigration team worked hard to use their skills and concentrate all their strength and attention!
They are ready to fight hard.
This battle is a fight to the death!
They are all old Qin people with "roots and roots". Although they were regarded as "migrant workers" for a long time after joining the Tiance Army, they were engaged in infrastructure construction...
But since Tian Yongsheng carried out military reforms and Han Yang and Li Qi promulgated the "New Qin Law", all their civilians have transferred to the army and trained their muscles all day long in order to go into battle to kill the enemy or die!
This is the pride of the old Qin people!
Soon, they discovered the enemy.
It was a group of warriors wearing cyan armor, walking uniformly, obviously not a civil society!
"Green armor and silver helmets, this is the army of the Marquis of Handcheng!"
"Damn robber!"
"Captain, attack!"
…
The Qin army's warriors were all filled with righteous indignation.
This puzzled the surrounding immigrants.
After all, they ate and lived with those soldiers along the way, and chatted a lot in their spare time. Therefore, they knew that there was no enmity between the Qin State and the so-called "Hancheng Marquis", so the current tense situation seemed very unusual.
They quietly asked their doubts.
The commander of the Qin army lowered his voice and explained: "Those people are the troops of the Marquis of Handeng in disguise. They invaded our territory in order to steal the orchid grass in the Dayan Mountain!" "What?"
"Stealing bluegrass?"
"Fuck them!"
…
Immigrants also became outraged.
After all, they have traveled thousands of miles to obtain orchid grass even at the cost of their lives!
If a small orchid was converted into money, it would be enough for them to eat and drink for a year!
With one heart and one mind, the battle begins.
The first to attack were the Qin army warriors.
According to the "Secret Techniques of Killing Enemies" compiled by Tian Yongsheng, they started attacking with the assigned spiritual weapon-level crossbows five hundred steps away from the soldiers of Handeng Kingdom.
In an instant, arrows rained down!
Although the soldiers of the Handeng Kingdom wear armor with the same level of spiritual weapons, their armors are made by craftsmen in Huangzhou, and the materials are also obtained from Huangzhou. Most of the spiritual energy in Huangzhou has been drained away and used to maintain the seal of evil ways. The monk's magic circle has gone...
Naturally, there is a lack of spiritual energy here, and the quality of the mineral veins is even pitifully low...
The quality of the ore is low, and the quality of the armor forged is also low.
Qin Tian understands this very well, so many of the weapons and armor of the Qin army are high-quality goods purchased from other Daozhou at high prices!
Now, this investment has paid off!
Arrows rained down with a roar, and the soldiers of the Handcheng Kingdom who were walking in the front were shot directly into hedgehogs!
However, before the soldiers of the Handeng Kingdom could react, many Qin warriors jumped out from behind the tree stumps, under the snowdrifts, and beside the road. Their shouts of killing were deafening. They waved their weapons, and their eyes flashed with determination and determination, revealing only one meaning.
Kill me!
Or, be killed by me!
The swords flashed, blood spattered, and people fell every moment.
The soldiers of Handeng State were frightened.
After all, they came here to seek wealth, but the Qin soldiers were working hard!
Therefore, not knowing who was the leader, they began to flee without their armor.
The soldiers of the Qin army were in hot pursuit.
Their appearance is particularly ferocious at this moment.
"New Qin Law" beheads people to record their merits. Although they are not on the battlefield now, they still kill the enemy as usual. After killing the enemy, they immediately cut off the enemy's head under the cover of their comrades and hang it directly on their waists. superior!
This will not affect their running speed at all!
After all, these are warriors, their arms have the strength of thousands of kilograms, and a head weighing more than ten kilograms is not a load at all!
They can bear more!
During the shouting formation, the soldiers of Handeng Kingdom had a very inexplicable emotion. They were not being chased by humans, but by a pack of hungry wolves, a pack of hungry wolves with green eyes!
They couldn't help but feel creepy.
So, I ran faster and faster...
During the chase, the mountains gradually leveled off and the plains were in sight. The soldiers of the Handcheng Kingdom suddenly let out bursts of cheers.
In the distance, above the white snow are thousands of soldiers!
Green armor and silver helmet!
This is their army!
At this moment, the offensive and defensive momentum is different!
The soldiers of the Qin army who chased out of the mountain forest gasped and looked at each other, seeing the same thoughts in each other's eyes.
Fight to the death!
The battle began with huge disparity in strength.
Qin soldiers will die in battle almost every second.
But they didn't back down.
Behind them are the people of Xin Qin who need to be protected, and under their feet is the territory of Qin they swore to protect!
Don’t back down even an inch!
Don't give up an inch of ground!
They sang loudly, which has become the war song of the Qin army from unknown time on.
"How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. The Marquis of Qin raised an army to repair my sword and spear. I share the same enemy with you..."
In the song, they died with great enthusiasm.
The soldiers of the Handcheng Kingdom who were fighting suddenly found that the war song in their ears seemed to be getting louder and louder. It seemed that not only the soldiers of the Qin Army on the opposite side were singing this war song, but also the surrounding wilderness and the mountains and forests in the distance were singing it. Sing this war song!
Suddenly, a thin black line quickly appeared at the end of the empty field.
This thin line is getting closer and closer, and it is getting thicker and thicker!
Black and overwhelming, boundless!
Horse hooves formed in formation, and countless knights in black armor were galloping!
The sun broke through the clouds and sprinkled on the ground, illuminating a huge flag!
Qin!
The Qin army is coming!
