Chapter 321: Two Generals
!Lu Cheng had always been considering what kind of cards to make to earn money.Like cards like 【Firearms】 and 【Traps】, Lu Cheng could foresee that they would be a hit the moment they were released ont...Yaoguang Xingjun's voice was unusually weary. After speaking, he fell silent.
Lu Cheng didn't react at first, then suddenly woke up.
Never go to Yanmen Pass!
Given the werewolves that have already infiltrated here and the heavy atmosphere, even a fool should be able to see what's going on.
The Moon Goddess struck with a powerful blow, and the Star Monarch of Yaoguang, in order to preserve the legacy of the Hundred Families within the Law Code, almost depleted 80% of Yueka's energy!
It seems that the dark ages have arrived.
It seems to confirm Lu Cheng's guess.
You have entered the battlefield!
You are affected by the Permanent Status Card 【Thinning Heaven and Earth Energy】!
Since the Qin dynasty, the celestial qi of heaven and earth has been dwindling, with only one tenth remaining today. In battle, all card usage of celestial qi is at *10%.
You are affected by the policy card 【Hundred Families Decline】!
Your identity "Head of the Mohist School" has decreased in prestige.
The policies of Qin Shi Huang and Han Wudi, Lu Cheng didn't get to that position, no comment.
However, the Second Hundred Schools of Thought debate caused a surge in the power of various schools. Otherwise, this card should have been "[Expel All Other Schools]"But the current situation is already quite good.
You have been affected by the policy card "Diligent and Frugal"!
Part of the Han Army is elite, and all friendly army units stationed at resource points will receive additional supplies!
You have been affected by the policy card "Refuse and Alienate" !
The Hun card's initial friendliness is set to -50.
You obtained the rumor 【"Remnants of the Former Dynasty"】!
In the late Qin dynasty, a mysterious fleet of ships was still missing. This unit had previously cooperated with the Great Wall army and decisively defeated the Xiongnu at the Jiuyuan fortress.
But when the Qin Dynasty fell, this elite force did not participate in the war. Some say they had perished, while others believe they were biding their time and gathering strength. What do you think
If your identity is exposed, you will be seen as "General of the Northern Sea Fleet of Great Qin" and unknown effects may occur.
Headache
That's really true.
Is it a losing battle
How against the wind is it
Qixing has retired.
It seems unwise to go to Yanmen Pass, doesn't it
A sound of sobbing interrupted Lu Cheng's thoughts. The innkeeper, a middle-aged man in his forties, was crying like a child.
Lu Cheng looked at the werewolf corpse on the ground. The owner of this house had been murdered.
"Qing, let's just take a quick look at Yanmen Pass. Just a glance."
The Sacred Land of the Huns [Dragon City].
Here, just moments ago, a battle raged. Thirty thousand ferocious werewolves overran the 1,200 local border soldiers hiding behind the short wall, and their commander, Wei Zhengyi, fell in battle.
The body was devoured clean by the starving werewolves.
The Xiongnu people regained the holy land again.
In the battlefield, [Dragon City] is a landmark. Its effect is that it can consume faith values on cards every day to produce a [Silver Moon Dragon].
It also had the effect of boosting nearby army attribute and morale.
but
Several years ago, the Xiongnu army marched south and pressed all the way to Shanggu Commandery.
Emperor Wu of Han led four armies northwards, General Gongsun He's army marched from Shuofang, General Li Guang's army marched from Yanmen, and General Gongsun Ao's army marched from Dai County, but all three armies were defeated.
But the fourth road Manchu are dead!
Damn Han general [Wei Qing]
From Shanggu County to the holy land [Dragon City], they beat it so hard that even the stars fell from the sky. This effect is gone now.
When has the Xiongnu ever suffered such a humiliating defeat while roaming across East Asia
The Xiongnu forces in Longcheng intended to behead Wei Qing.
However, after that, the Han army made several westward expeditions, and this Wei Qing continued to live well, becoming a thorn in the side of the Xiongnu.
But recently, the true god - Yue Shen who had disappeared since the Qin Dynasty has responded to the call again.
Tonight, retaking [Dragon City] is just an appetizer.
Outside the Dragon City walls, the sky had already darkened. Corpses arrived one after another, and the flesh and blood transported from the rear had been delivered.
Enough to feed two hundred thousand werewolves!
In Longcheng Center, the Xiongnu people untied four thick chains. A giant dragon creature broke free and let out a long roar to the heavens.
A gigantic 【Silver Moon Dragon】 roared, this pure energy being was awe-inspiring in its power.
When enough dragon beasts are amassed, the grand army will march south once more. On that day, the frontier fortress of Yunzhong from the Pre-Qin era will be razed to the ground.
While the Yanmen Pass is located behind Yunchen.
Once we break through the Yanmen Pass, our army will advance directly, behead Wei Qing, and strike straight for Chang'an, capturing the Han emperor alive.
Chang'an City.
The Weiyang Palace is located on the highest southwestern corner, Longshouyuan. Because it is west of the main street, it is also known as Xigong.
Wei Qing strode toward the palace, his face grave.
"Uncle!"
A young general, clad in armor, emerged from the side and called out to Wei Qing.
"Just so, you'll go in with me!" Wei Qing saw the young man and beckoned. "After going in, don't say anything, I'll handle it."
"Hey, Uncle, wait!" the boy called out to Wei Qing.
"What's wrong" Wei Qing asked.
"How do you know, I'm thinking the same thing as you" the boy asked.
"Alright, you little punk, get over here."
In the court, officials debated among themselves.
"Your Majesty, it is time to restore the policy of kinship with our ancestors and bide our time!"
"I agree, we should temporarily cease hostilities and make peace with the Xiongnu!"
"I agree!"
Liu Che opened his eyes.
Do you all think that way
"Your Majesty, all-out war is not feasible!" a minister shouted aloud.
"Nonsensical!" Liu Che roared, "What kinship, what poor military prowess! Clearly the enemy is formidable, you cowards are simply afraid!"
Today, the court was shrouded in a thick gloom.
The spirit, the coolness, and the three states all opened up battle fronts simultaneously. Youbeiping was in crisis, Longcheng fell, and Yuncheng Fortress was about to be besieged.
It is obvious to anyone with common sense.
A massive army has gathered in the north and is about to march south!
"I want to hear, are there any other opinions" Liu Che's gaze swept across the court.
But the hall was silent as a tomb.
"Your Majesty," General Wei Qing stepped forward, "I will lead the war."
"Absolutely not! You mustn't believe these words!" A senior official hurried forward. "Your Majesty, we should immediately dispatch an envoy to the Xiongnu and resume a policy of friendly relations. That is the wisest course of action."
"Lord Di," Wei Qing said calmly, "I'll draw three lines for you."
"What line"
Wei Qing didn't respond, but instead took out a map and unfolded it in front of everyone.
"These three areas are where the Xiongnu gather, and these three lines indicate their movements," Wei Qing pointed at the map. "If we extend these lines further..."
Finally, the three lines converge at one point.
Chang'an.
Everyone gasped.
"This is their objective!" Wei Qing stated. "Your Majesty, I believe this is the Xiongnu using divine power to launch a war of extermination against our nation!"
"The Great General's presence is just a guess! They might have only come south to loot!"
“Sir, you’ve never been to war, have you” A voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
The civil official took a closer look, and...
This is not that guy who was lucky last time, leading 800 people to accomplish a small feat.
"There's no place for you here."
"Huo Qubing, you speak," the Han Wudi on the seat said.
"Your Majesty, the Xiongnu's transportation capabilities are far inferior to ours. With such a vast-scale gathering, millions of livestock are required in the rear. The losses along the way are enormous. The Wise Kings to the left and right, the kings of the north and south, and even that so-called god, all mobilized their forces - this is absolutely not a raid!" Huo Qubing stated confidently.
"If we do not fight, our nation will perish!"
The country is going to perish!
All the officials and military officers in the court were startled, and there was an eerie silence.
In a while.
"But once war breaks out, according to reports, the enemy's monstrous beasts along the three lines number no less than 300,000, give or take. Local county governors are all urgently reporting back to us. Our central army is only 140,000 strong. I ask General Wei, can you possibly hold out" Another official asked with worry etched on his face.
Wei Qing shook his head: "What cannot be defended, I judge, the three lines will have no less than 300,000 troops. No one can guarantee that such a large enemy force can be held back. With fewer of us and more of them, if we stubbornly hold one place, once surrounded, the city falling is only a matter of time."
As soon as these words were uttered, the hall erupted in an uproar once again!
"If we must fight, we can't hold our ground! What are we to do"
Wei Qing and Huo Qubing looked at each other.
"Your Majesty, we ministers humbly request to take the initiative in battle. We will lure the enemy into our midst and attack their center. We pledge to lead the armies, advancing on both flanks, seeking victory through mobility!" only one brave enough to touch Yao Ji.Back then, the transformation of Shennü Peak to Shennü Feng consumed so much resources that the supply of gold and iron materials was simply insufficient.Therefo...
