Chapter 477: It Doesn’t Matter, My Brother Will Make a Move!—3
Translator: 549690339
The Qin army that had left before the new year had returned.
However, this time, it was no longer the same as before, where they only sent tens of thousands of people each time.
This time, the Qin army sent out one of the twelve generals, Baiqi. Baiqi led 200,000 soldiers and sneaked past the defensive area of the Zhou army.
The 200,000 elite Qin army directly attacked one of the three pa.s.ses in the northwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Crouching Dragon Pa.s.s.
Caught off guard, Dragon Crouching Pa.s.s was almost broken.
Fortunately, there were still 30,000 Dragon Tiger Army soldiers stationed in the city. They took over the city defense at the critical moment and protected the Dragon Conqueror Pa.s.s from the Qin army.
But even so, Great Zhou still suffered heavy losses.
The Dragon Tiger Army was a core elite with a military soul. Logically speaking, it was not enough to fight against an ordinary Qin army.
But this time, the Qin army had invested a lot.
Not only did he send Baiqi as the only general.
He even got Baiqi to bring the Black Armored Guards from the 12 divisions of the Qin army.
The Black Armored Guards were also an army with a military spirit, and this time, they brought a total of 50,000 people.
In addition, thousands of young reincarnators had appeared in the Qin army this time.
This directly led to the death of more than half of the Great Zhou’s 30,000 Dragon Tiger Army in just two days.
One had to know that this was the territory of the Great Zhou. How could so many soldiers of the Dragon Tiger Army die?
One could imagine how ferocious the Qin army’s attacks were.
As soon as this news spread, the entire Great Zhou was shocked.
All the citizens and dignitaries of the Great Zhou who lived behind Dragon Crouching Pa.s.s were terrified.
Many well -informed people were deeply afraid that the Qin army would invade the hinterland, so they even took their wives and children and fled overnight.
The emperor was originally thinking about whether to marry Li Ruxing or Li Ruyue to the crown prince!
When he heard the news, his face almost turned green.
He threw away the book in his hand and roared like an angry lion,””Great Qin is going too far!”
As he spoke, the emperor threw out a token.””Men, pa.s.s on my orders. Send
200,000 soldiers from the Dragon Tiger Army to the three pa.s.ses of the Dragon Conqueror, Tiger Conqueror, and Futian!”
Because he was too emotional, the muscles on his face were still trembling.
In the past few years, he had been dealing with the Qin army.
The emperor also felt that it was troublesome and a headache.
However, there had never been a time like today when he was sitting in Haojing and breaking out in a cold sweat.
In a sense, the Qin army attacking Dragon Crouching Pa.s.s was directly attacking the vital gate of the Great Zhou.
The so-called three pa.s.ses in the northwest.
They were the last three natural barriers of the Great Zhou in the northwest.
They were called Dragon Subdue Pa.s.s, Tiger Subdue Pa.s.s, and Futian Pa.s.s. No matter which checkpoint it was, it was extremely important.
Once it was broken, it meant that this direction would no longer be a natural barrier, and the Qin army would be able to come and go freely in this direction.
Therefore, he had no choice.
The emperor wasn’t that sensitive to other things.
Only the Dragon Crouching Pa.s.s, Tiger Crouching Pa.s.s, and Futian Pa.s.s were places that they absolutely could not touch.
This was the last barrier between the Northwest and the Central Plains.
It was a taboo among taboos.
The Qin army launched a three-day a.s.sault on the Dragon Conqueror Pa.s.s.
After realizing that there was indeed no way to take it down, he no longer lingered and turned around to leave the Dragon Crouching Pa.s.s.
Otherwise, if they stayed here for too long, they would be able to escape.
When the surrounding reinforcements of the Great Zhou arrived, the Qin army might have to pay an unnecessary price.
To be honest, it was a pity that the Qin army did not manage to break through the Dragon Conqueror Pa.s.s.
Just a little more.
He was just a little bit away from achieving an Epic strategic goal.
The Dragon Tiger Army guarded the three checkpoints and confirmed that the Qin army had no intention of continuing to attack.
Only then did the entire Great Zhou heave a sigh of relief.
When the emperor came back to his senses, his face was dark. He found an official and pointed at the officials ‘noses. “Who can tell me that the Northern
Lands can only pa.s.s through a small Qin army of tens of thousands of people? Where did these 200,000 Qin soldiers come from? There were actually 50,000 elite soldiers of the Black Armored Guards…lf they broke through Dragon Conqueror Pa.s.s, would they be able to reach Haojing in two days?”
Hearing the emperor’s doubts, the officials in the court did not even dare to breathe loudly.
At this moment, the emperor was furious!
If he was not careful, his head would fall to the ground.
If they were a little unlucky, it was not impossible for them to get a whole family package.
In the end, it was the Right Prime Minister Ge Hong who stood up and said,””Your Majesty, this Qin army must have appeared from the Hundred
Thousand Mountains. It seems that an emergency has occurred in the Hundred
Thousand Mountains. This matter was handled by Li Yueming of the Star Moon Army in the past. Now that there is a problem, we might be able to know the reason by asking Li Yueming!”
Even if he had a political disagreement with Li Yueming and the western frontier.
However, even Ge Hong did not dare to exaggerate in front of the emperor.
The emperor glanced coldly at Ge Hong. Seeing that he did not continue, he continued,””Li Qing is my subordinate. If any of you want to push the blame of this matter to him, don’t blame me for sacrificing your heads to the flag!”
“Men, hurry to Northern Ice River Town and ask Li Qing. See if he can find a way to find out what exactly happened to the Hundred Thousand Mountains!” Hearing this.
The group of officials in the court lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound.
At this moment, they also reacted.
Li Yueming’s status was no longer the same as before.
No matter how one looked at it, if they wanted to maintain the stability of the Northlands, they couldn’t leave the Starmoon Army and Li Yueming alone.
Because of this, no matter how unwilling the emperor was, he could only appease and rope Li Yueming in.
In this mood.
It was only natural that the emperor wanted to recruit a prince consort.
Li Yueming, who was a thousand miles away from Beibing River, was shocked by the Qin army’s actions when he received the news.
He actually attacked the Hidden Dragon Gate directly.
He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Great Zhou Dynasty was not prepared to directly break one of the Great Zhou Dynasty’s backbones with a stick!
