Chapter 127 The City Falls



The general who defends the country has led his army to the city on the border to rest. At this time, the horn sounded and the general who defends the country was now at the edge of the city. The commander of the grassland tribe, Agri, was riding on his horse and looking at the general provocatively.

"It's you again, old man! I didn't expect you to be here guarding the border again today. How come there's no one left in the Qin State?"

The soldiers of the grassland tribe laughed wildly at the mockery, but this kind of provocation had no effect on the experienced general.

"Agri, it's you again this year. Why? I cut off your entire arm in the last battle. Do you want to lose both arms this year?"

It was obvious that the general's provocation was a fatal blow to Agri. "This year! I will chop off your arms and feed them to the dogs! I will make you kneel down and beg me!"

The general turned sideways, glanced at Agri and said, "I will not let you have such an opportunity."

After saying that, he went down the city wall, and Agri also signaled that it was not right to retreat.

"Prince, why don't we attack? We are already at the city gate."

Agri grabbed the man's clothes with a gloomy look, "Are you blind? That old man has many archers infiltrated in secret. If we attack, won't the whole army be wiped out?"

He released the man's hand and returned to the camp with his troops. "Don't worry, old man. I'm fully prepared this time!"

"I will definitely be the winner this time!"

Agri's tone gradually became more sinister, his expression gradually became distorted, and he even crushed the wine glass in his hand, scaring the soldiers beside him so much that they knelt on the ground and dared not look up.

The next day, before the sun rose, the general was training his soldiers. He then went into the tent to discuss strategy with his deputy commander. The general pointed to a complex hillock to one side and said, "The terrain here is complex, but it has a lot of trees, which is perfect for hiding people. We can set up an ambush with 3,000 elite soldiers here."

The deputy commander pointed to the river on the side and said with some worry, "But the only route of retreat for the general is a river. Isn't this blocking our own retreat?"

"The grassland tribe has always been running wild on the grassland. This rugged terrain must be difficult for them to control. On the contrary, the low-lying woods 3,000 meters to the left may be their best hiding place."

The deputy commander thought the general's plan was very risky, but the general still stubbornly believed that there was nothing wrong with this strategy.

"General, we are taking too much risk! If we make even the slightest mistake, we will lose 3,000 elite soldiers."

But the general who guards the country always believes in his own judgment. "I have fought with Agri before. His plan is simple. Even his military advisor has been beheaded by me. I don't think he will have a military advisor in the short term."

Then he strode out of the camp and called on all soldiers to advance according to his plan. However, when they entered the hill, Agri actually sent archers to hide in the trees. However, only two thousand soldiers defeated 3,000 elite soldiers, and only a few soldiers were taken prisoners.

Agli interrogated the captives and found a flaw in the city. He led 10,000 elite soldiers to attack the city. "Old man! Today, I will capture your city!"

The general who defended the country was forced to retreat with the people and even lost many soldiers.

The deputy commander watched as the grassland tribesmen approached the city and anxiously shouted to the general defending the country, "General! What should we do now? Where will the people of this city go?"

The man calmly replied, "Deputy Commander, lead the people to retreat. This incident was my mistake!"

Unexpectedly, the general who defends the country just brushed it off with one word: a mistake. Although the deputy commander was angry, the most urgent task at the moment was to lead the people away from here.

Bai Juncheng, who was extremely confident in the general, was accompanying Bai Jinjin in the school to listen to her composing poems. The teacher was sweating at the sudden appearance of the emperor.

"Students, please write a poem on the theme of regret."

Suddenly, Bai Jinjin had poems in her mind, and everyone in the school was eager to try, but Bai Jinjin was really fearless. After all, this was something that didn't exist in this world.

Bai Jing stood up at this time, bowed to the teacher and said: "Master, I want to give it a try."

The eldest prince Bai Jing is gentle and polite, and is the teacher's favorite student.

"In that case, please allow the eldest prince to recite a couple of lines of poetry."

Bai Jing stood with his hands behind his back, a smile on his lips. "How much sorrow can one have? The golden house in the book has been opened for a long time. If you ask what youth feels like, it is sorrow upon sorrow, more sorrow."

Bai Juncheng, who was sitting behind the teacher, smiled with satisfaction, "It seems that Jing'er's grades have improved a bit, hahahaha."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing bowed to Bai Juncheng and said, "Your Majesty, your praise is unbelievable."

Today, Bai Jinjin, who admired Bai Jing very much, secretly gave him a thumbs up and said, "Brother, I admire you more and more!"

This playful look caught Bai Jing's eye and he chuckled, "Don't do anything tricky or you'll get called out by the Master."

Although Bai Jinjin was not afraid, she still covered her mouth. Unexpectedly, it was not the teacher who called her up, but Bai Juncheng.

"Jinjin, the questions the teacher asked are not difficult at all. Let the emperor see Jinjin's strength."

Hearing this, Bai Jinjin pouted and muttered, "Sure enough, the worst person is still my own father."

Bai Jing, who heard everything clearly, covered his mouth and looked at Bai Jinjin helplessly.

Bai Jinjin stood up reluctantly, cleared her throat and sighed, "Well, since father wants to listen, then Jinjin will say a few words."

“All rivers flow east to the sea, but when will they return west? If you don’t work hard when you are young, you will regret it when you are old.”

After reading the poem, the girl looked at Bai Juncheng confidently, "Daddy, how about Jinjin's poem? It's good, isn't it?"

Bai Juncheng laughed heartily, "Jinjin, you are really Daddy's treasure. You can actually write such a poem."

Of course! This is a poem written by a famous person. How can I do justice to this poem if I can't surprise you?

Bai Jing also looked at Bai Jinjin in surprise, "Jinjin, you have really improved. You can even write poems like this."

The Master looked at Bai Jinjin in surprise, "Princess Nine really opened my eyes. This poem is truly wonderful."

"In that case, let's call it a day. See you tomorrow, everyone."

Then everyone stood up and bowed to the Master, "Goodbye, Master."

Bai Juncheng was the first to stand up and walk out of the classroom, followed closely by Bai Jinjin. "Daddy, wait for me. Jinjin wants to have dinner with you today."

As she was about to throw herself on Bai Juncheng's back, she was stopped by Bai Jing, "Jinjin, wait a minute. There are so many people here now. Give your father some face."
