It was rainy in the south, and the drizzle fell again at dusk. When night fell, the soldiers of the Blackstone Empire lit torches and illuminated the entire square of Yucheng City. Thousands of people were unarmed on the square. The civilians of Yucheng, with anger on their faces, shouted at the army of the Blackstone Empire.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk"
Amidst the sound of horseshoes, a familiar flag appeared in everyone's eyes. It was the flag of Yihe Kingdom. At the invitation of Lu Yan, Qin Yi, Qin Huan and his sons must come to appreciate the massacre.
Qin Yi is already very old. His original gray head is now completely white, and his head is soft, and even the hairpin of pine wood is almost unbearable. He brought not many people, just two ten thousand chiefs and a dozen thousand men. No more generals at the long level.
"Most of them are all. Be careful."
A ten thousand captain carefully helped Qin Yi down from the horse. When Qin Yi's boots fell on the rain, he staggered and almost couldn't stand firmly.
"Father!" Qin Huan hurriedly held on, his face pale.
"Most of them are here!" Lu Yan stepped forward with a laugh, and said, "We have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Qin Yi glanced at the civilians on the square and the elite Haishan army waiting not far away. He had guessed seven to eight points in his heart, and said, "Commander Lu Yan invites us to come, do you know what we can order?"
"No, no, no instructions." Lu Yan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Yu City has blocked us for many days. Now Yu City has been broken. The soldiers of my Blackstone Empire fought bravely. I, the leader, must also commend them. For true warriors, there is nothing more appropriate than a slaughter. These people in Yucheng are stubborn and try to fight us to the end. Hum, I want them to know the consequences of using the man’s arm as a car, and Yiheguo is our ally. Naturally, I want to come to watch the ceremony, and I would also like to ask most of you to give pointers as to whether there are flaws in the cavalry battle formation of our Sea Mountain Army."
With that, Lu Yan raised his arms and shouted in a low voice: "Ready to rush into battle!"
In the distance, one after another cavalry covered in armor mounted their horses, their square shields stood upright, their spears resembling forests, and the horses of Xiongjun stepped on their front hooves, as if they were also expecting a massacre.
"rush!"
Lu Yan suddenly dropped his arm.
The sound of horses' hoofs roared, and the blades of spears and swords shone with cold light under the firelight, making people feel like being in a severe winter in spring.
Among the crowd, the civilians were in a panic. Suddenly, one of them dressed in the costumes of low-level civil servants shouted in the direction of Qin Yi, Qin Huan and others: "Most unify, help! Most unify, I belong to the righteous country. Officer, I’m Zhang Jun from Bailing City’s Captain’s Mansion. Most of them will help. Your Majesty will help.”
Zhang Jun seemed to see a life-saving straw, and madly led a group of people to Qin Yi, Qin Huan and others. How great Yihe Kingdom was once, and Qin Yi, who is mostly unified, will surely save him.
Unfortunately, Qin Yi looked away, couldn't bear to watch the scene in front of him.
"Stay back!"
A group of heavy infantry armed with shields shook Zhang Jun and others away with their shields, and even brandished broadswords to hack them.
"Most unified! Most unified!" Zhang Jun's face began to be filled with despair. Amidst a horrible cry, his left arm was cut off by a heavy infantry, dripping with blood. After a few steps, he trembled and his chest trembled. It revealed the blade of a lance. It was a black iron lance commonly used by the heavy cavalry of the Blackrock Empire. The heavy cavalry swiftly rode the horse and passed by, grabbing the handle of the gun from Zhang Jun’s chest and pulling it out. After coming out, blood and internal organs spattered for a while.
"thump"
Zhang Jun knelt on the ground softly, but kept looking in the direction of Qin Yi and Qin Huan until he lay down straight, becoming a corpse gradually cooling down.
Qin Yi looked at Zhang Jun who was dead, his face was calm, and there did not seem to be the slightest sorrow or joy. And Qin Huan was clenching his fists. Wherever he could endure such a humiliation, he gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Lu Yan, these civilians are just unarmed farmers and craftsmen, so why bother to kill them all? Please be merciful to the commander."
"Your Royal Highness is pleading for this group of chaotic people?" Lu Yan looked at him and smiled faintly: "Is it?"
"Is it true" Qin Huan whispered.
"You're here!" Lu Yan sneered, "Have you been so kind when he was sitting on half of the country? I'm afraid not. As the saying goes, if kindness is not in charge of soldiers, your Majesty will not understand the simple truth, Da Qin. The people of the empire are like weeds all over the ground, and they are tough. If you don’t uproot them now, they will soon take root, and they will smelt iron and forge soldiers. They are almost the enemy of our Blackrock Empire. Your Majesty does not have to Please, Lu Yan, I have a sense of measure."
"But"
"Don't say it, unless your Royal Highness wants to be one of them." Lu Yan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Most of them are outstanding people in Lingnan. Although my Lu Yan is a bit tough, I still want to leave a blood line for the Qin family in Lingnan. Yes, I hope His Royal Highness can do it for himself, knowing what he should do and what he shouldn’t do, it’s best."
Qin Huan was startled, and stopped talking. Lu Yan could say and do it, but he was not so harsh.
At this moment, Bai Liyan, a counselor next to Lu Yan, walked forward in a black robe and respectfully said to Qin Yi: "Under Bailiyan, see Yihe Guoda Dutong."
Qin Yi nodded: "Mr. Don't be polite, just say what you want."
"Then there will be no more detours. The Haishan army has attacked Yucheng for days and lost its troops and soldiers. The soldiers need to rest. Therefore, most of them are invited to lead the Yihe Kingdom's 100,000 troops to clear the way ahead and rush towards Shangyang City with lightning. Conquering Shangyang City with preparations, this is a great feat."
Qin Yi couldn't help looking cold: "Mr. Baili intends to let our Yihe Kingdom army attack Shangyang City first?"
"Yes."
Bailiyan faintly smiled: "But don't worry about all of them. The 100,000 troops of the Blackstone Empire will arrive later, and they will all be in the rear. If most of them can't attack Shangyang City, we will take turns for you."
Qin Yi's heart is full of flavours, and it feels like being roasted on a fire. Bailiyan wanted to kill someone with a knife, but he had nothing to do.
After a while, Qin Yi clasped his fist and said, "I will obey the general orders, but I hope that Mr. Yihe will be able to prepare all the food, equipment, and war horses needed by the Yihe Kingdom."
"Please rest assured that most of them will be ready. The Sea Mountain Army will leave early tomorrow morning, so please that most of them will immediately lead the army to attack. You are the god of war. You can't give Xiang Yu too much time to prepare."
"Yes"
Qin Yi's face was pale, and his old body was a little rickety, where there was still a little bit of the momentum that Yihe Guo Da dominated Qin Yi.
The killing and screams gradually ceased, and the five thousand Yucheng people all became sacrifices under the butcher knife. For the Black Stone Emperor team, which is known for its ferocity and brutality, this is like a common meal. When they have sufficient food and grass. It's pretty good without cannibalism. As for the women's crying and looting yelling that can be faintly heard everywhere in the city, it is even deaf to ears.
The distance between Yucheng and Shangyang was only a hundred miles away, even if the infantry was able to reach it through a long-distance raid day and night.
Qin Yi didn't know what was the fate of waiting for the final force of Yihe Country, but at this moment, he regretted it.
I regret that I shouldn't have killed my brother Qin Jin, and shouldn't divide the world.
But there was only one choice, and he couldn't retreat. Qin Yi knew that he and Yihe Kingdom had no retreat, and could only keep moving forward.
To the east of Shangyang City, the Blackstone Empire army in Leh continued to fly towards Shangyang City, and the cavalry in the front had been camped less than five miles away from Shangyang City. Ji, but this force is controlled by Fu Yun of the Dragon Knights of the Blackstone Empire. The dozens of dragon knights hovering in the air are enough to make the defenders of the Great Qin Empire in Shangyang city terrified.
Xiang Yu ordered to stay behind closed doors and wait for help.
So Fu Yun could only wait, waiting for Lu Yan's army to join him. After all, if he attacked Shangyang City alone, Fu Yun had not been arrogant to this point. Xiang Yu and others in the city were not vegetarians either. It is not a person who has been tumbling in the wind and rain for nearly ten years in the war.
At dusk and sunset, the entire Fu Yun camp seemed to be stained with blood. The dragon knights had settled in the camp for the dragons, and outside the camp was an endless stream of supplies, all from nearby. The looted materials, grain, livestock and even living people from the cities, villages and towns of China, for the Black Rock Army, living people are also a kind of forage and grass, and they are still movable forage.
"Report!"
The messenger galloped in: "Master Fu Yun, we caught a fine work, claiming to be from Lanyan City."
"Lanyan City?"
Fu Yun put down the chopsticks he was eating, and said, "Lanyan City is thousands of miles away. Have they already learned about the situation here?"
"The subordinates don't know, this man narrated that he wanted to see the adults, and he brought a very important letter."
"Oh? Bring in."
"Yes!"
Soon after, a scorpion-headed and tied-up man walked in and immediately fell to his knees: "The general, the general, don't kill me, the villain is here to be a messenger!"
"The messenger?" Fu Yun couldn't help but smiled, "There are such ugly and timid messengers like you in the world? Come on, push it out."
"Wait a minute, General, I'll talk after reading the letter!"
"Huh, submit the letter!"
Letterhead is a kind of rice paper with a faint scent. In the scribes in Lanyan City, many people would use this rice paper made of special peach wood, but the price is too expensive, so most people can't afford it. .
The rice paper is densely written with a few lines, but the title is "The Black Stone Emperor is in charge", and the inscription is "The Generals of the Congress of the Great Qin Empire".
Fu Yun glanced, couldn't help but laugh, and said: "Zhuang Yan, Su Changying, Liu Xiyu, these people are not good at the emperor, but why do they want to cooperate with our Blackstone Empire?"
