Chapter 484 The troops are approaching the city!
Walking side by side with Nian Xinya, the two chatted quietly, and naturally, they talked about Xiangrong.
Qin Yi was a little confused and asked, "Sixteen years ago, the senior officials of Dali already knew about the existence of Xiang Rong. Didn't they do anything?"
Qin Yi has no way of knowing about this kind of thing. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of mountains and vast and remote woods to the north of Dali, making it difficult for Luo Zhi's spies to penetrate.
After all, there are very few people there, and if a spy appears rashly, he will easily be suspected.
Nian Xinya said softly, "In the past sixteen years, there have been two emperors of Dali. Chai Jianyuan, the first emperor of Dali, worked hard at the beginning. In order to resist the Xiangrong, he built two huge fortresses in the mountains of 100,000.
The city filled the gap in the mountains and blocked the gap for the Xiangrong invasion."
"The two pass cities, named Juhu Pass and Zhenyuan Pass, are made of bluestone. They are eight feet high and have many guards. They are guarded against the mountains. They are the easiest to defend and difficult to attack in the entire Cangyuan Continent.
, even if you leave the capital and visit the capital, you can't compare with it."
"At the beginning, in order to build these two gates as soon as possible, Dali mobilized millions of civilians, and there were many skeletons of exhausted people under the city. In addition, Chai Jianyuan, the late emperor of Dali, also built many fortresses and beacon towers in the north.
, whenever the elephant moves, red smoke will be lit as a warning."
Hearing this, Qin Yi remained silent.
In the past, Chai Jianyuan, the first emperor of Dali, was always called the Mingjun. He suppressed rebellions internally, defeated Linzhan externally, and secretly did so many actions in the northern border of Dali.
Although I don’t know if it will work, at least he has made a lot of contributions to the Yuan clan.
But without worries inside and enemies outside, people will become blind. As a result, Chai Jianyuan became arrogant, cruel and promiscuous, and turned from a wise master into a tyrant.
"Do you know why I wrote to you?" Nian Xinya suddenly asked as her bright eyes glanced at Qin Yi.
Suppressing his thoughts, Qin Yi looked at Nian Xinya and asked, "Is it because Xiangrong is so sharp that you want to remind me to be careful?"
Nian Xinya smiled slightly and said, "Your resourcefulness is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people."
Qin Yi also laughed. In fact, it was easy to think of it, because he had already seen the sharpness of Xiang Rong.
The fighting strength of one Xiangrong can be compared to that of two or three Yuan clan members.
Even the Yi Ziying and Jinwu soldiers under his command may not be able to defeat Xiang Rong in a one-on-one situation.
Thinking of this, Qin Yi's heart sank slightly.
Individual soldiers are extremely powerful, but if the opponent's numbers are still large, wouldn't our side be unable to win even with the human sea tactics?
Then isn’t it that the Yuan clan is... the end is approaching?
Unless you rely on advanced equipment, this is not easy. Due to the limitations of the times, even if a sharp tool is developed, it is still unclear whether it can be manufactured on a large scale.
Thinking of this, Qin Yi asked, "Do you know the specific situation of Xiangrong? How many people do they have?"
Nian Xinya narrowed her eyes slightly and replied, "The number of Xiang Rong has always been a matter of great concern to the Extermination Alliance. Every time we capture Xiang Rong, we will inquire carefully. After many comparisons, we can determine their number.
About eight hundred thousand."
"The Xiangrong army is so powerful that it can be said that all the people are soldiers. Excluding the young, old and pregnant women, the total combat strength is as high as 600,000."
Then, Nian Xinya said in an extremely low tone, "Sixteen years ago, Xiangrong sent out 100,000 troops and Dali 300,000 troops to fight. After a bloody battle, less than one-tenth of the Dali soldiers survived.
..."
Qin Yi frowned.
The opponent's fighting power is too strong!
"But the Xiangrong troops are not like the Yuan tribe. They don't need to carry supplies, because every Yuan tribe soldier who dies in battle is their ration..." Nian Xinya said in a deep voice.
When Qin Yi heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Eat people!
Too cruel!
After a long silence, he asked aloud, "It is said that there is internal discord among Xiang Rong and they are fighting for power?"
Nian Xinya nodded, "Sixteen years ago, the god Qilu died fighting a lion. The earth god Xilu led his troops back and competed with the witch god Zanglu for the position of the god. How did you know that the witch god Zanglu set up an ambush along the way?
Defeated the earth god Xilu and won the throne of the god of heaven."
"At that time, Zanglu, the witch god, was in his fifties and was no longer young. He died of old age two years ago. The new earth god and the witch god once again competed for the position of god of heaven."
"No matter what the names of these elephants were before, after they become gods, they will be called Qilu, and the same goes for the earth gods and shaman gods. They are cruel and aggressive, and the customs in the clan respect martial arts. If a dispute arises, it cannot be resolved.
Just choose a place to fight to the death, and the winner wins."
"So every time the god of heaven dies, the god of earth and the god of witches will fight fiercely, and the loser will lose his life. According to Xiang Rong Xisaku, when the two fight for the result, they will send troops to Cang Yuan,
The time is uncertain, ranging from several months to several years."
Hearing this, Qin Yi's heart became a little solemn.
I only hope that Emperor Dali will not act recklessly and strengthen his national power, accumulate strength, and deal with the coming enemy!
……
Linzhanluan Mansion, Zhun City.
This city that once belonged to the Luan Kingdom was constructed with rammed earth and was not strong. After Qin Yi captured the Luan Kingdom, he began to reinforce the city and added green bricks in addition to the rammed earth.
Although the thickness of the city has been increased and the defense has been improved, the height of the city wall is only two feet, which is an obvious shortcoming of this city.
In the middle of the night, this small city is quiet and lightless under the night, and the people in the city are already sleeping peacefully.
But at this moment, the rapid sound of horse hooves came from a distance, kicking and tapping, which was extremely harsh.
On the city wall, the sleepy guard leaning against the female wall heard the sound of horse hooves and quickly opened his eyes. He saw a cavalryman running towards him in the distance.
Under the dim moonlight, seeing the other party's clothes and the constant flags, the guard immediately understood that he was one of his own!
It should be the reconnaissance knight released before!
Rushing to the front, unable to wait to enter the city to deliver the order, the scout cavalry shouted loudly, "Dali is invading, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, already six miles away!"
The guard was suddenly frightened and trembling all over. In an instant, he no longer felt sleepy!
One of the guards turned around and ran towards the city wall. He wanted to rush to the county office and inform the county magistrate of this important matter!
Several other guards hurriedly rushed to the war drum, picked up the drumsticks, and beat them crazily!
"Winter! Winter! Winter!"
In an instant, the deafening sound of drums resounded throughout the city.
Tens of thousands of households in the city were awakened by the sound of drums and quickly opened their eyes.
When they noticed that there was a lot of noise outside and the sound of drums kept ringing, everyone knew that Dali had invaded!
At the beginning, Li Jing in the previous country fell, all the major cities surrendered one after another, and the garrison of Zhun City also surrendered to Qin Yi, so the people in the city were not affected by the war.
But now, wars have resumed, and everyone is frightened.
Chapter completed!
