Chapter 73: Unrivaled Lü Bu, War Breaks Out (Part 2)
Hongzhou Qing Dynasty.
The Qing Dynasty is located in the northwest, bordering the Yuan Dynasty in Xuanzhou, the Qin Dynasty in Zhongzhou and the Sui Dynasty in Tianzhou.
therefore.
When Emperor Yuan appointed Guo Kan as general and led 100,000 Yuan cavalry to attack Loulan, Emperor Qing also received the news.
"Emperor Yuan is really quick!"
The Qing emperor couldn't help but sigh, and it was hard to tell whether his calm voice was mocking or praising.
"Your Majesty, this old Yuan Emperor's Great Yuan Iron Cavalry is invincible in Xuanzhou. It is understandable that he is arrogant and thinks he is invincible in the world."
Wei Xiaobao stood beside the Qing Emperor with a lewd and flattering smile on his face, and said: "Besides, Loulan is just a small country that has just surrendered to Qin. Qin is far away and may not be willing to go to war with Yuan!"
The Qing Emperor shook his head, obviously disagreeing with Wei Xiaobao's opinion. He said calmly:
"Qin is bordered by other continents and is trapped in the center. If Qin backs down when Yuan attacks, then the continents from all directions will pounce on it like hungry wolves and bite off a piece of meat from Qin!"
"So the Qin State will fight with all its might to make an example of them. Moreover, the Queen of Loulan and the High Priest are already engaged to King Wu of Zhao."
"Zhao Wu's prestige in Qin is second only to that of the First Emperor, or even not weaker than that of the First Emperor. Once Loulan is destroyed, the Queen of Loulan and the High Priest will definitely fall into the hands of Emperor Yuan. Even for the sake of face, Qin will fight with all its strength."
"In addition, Zhao Wu is the descendant of the God of War. The God of War who dominates the Qin State Legion Ranking might also take action!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Xiaobao immediately laughed and said, "Isn't this better? It's a good opportunity for Emperor Yuan to test the depth of Qin and the God of War!"
"good!"
Emperor Qing smiled and said, "I hope the God of War will take action. I also want to see how powerful his immortal weapon that was rated by the Golden List of the Great Dao is, and whether it is really immortal!"
"Where in the world are there truly immortal soldiers? Even if there are immortal soldiers, they will eventually be reduced to dust under your majesty's Eight Banners cavalry!"
Wei Xiaobao's face was full of flattery and fawning.
Although the Qing emperor knew that he was flattering him, he felt comfortable just listening to him.
"Send more spies to keep a close eye on the situation. I want to get the relevant information as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
…
The big man from the deserted island.
The Han Dynasty existed in name only, wars broke out everywhere and the princes fought for supremacy.
The area bordering the Yuan and Qin dynasties is precisely the territory of Dong Zhuo, the most powerful lord in the world today.
now.
Dong Zhuo was the first to receive the news that the Yuan Dynasty was sending troops.
"Loulan is a piece of fat meat. It not only borders the Yuan Kingdom, but also borders us. It's not far away!"
Dong Zhuo had a big belly and a face full of flesh, and sat on the throne with a big horse and a golden sword. He was as imposing as a mountain, just like a great devil.
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall, handsome, and imposing man stepped forward and said loudly, "Adoptive father, I am willing to go and conquer Loulan, bring back the Queen of Loulan and the High Priest, and offer them to you for your enjoyment!"
"Loulan is just a small country. Why bother General Lu to take action? I am willing to go and capture Loulan, and bring back the Queen of Loulan and the High Priest to present to the Prime Minister!"
Hua Xiong followed up with this.
As Hua Xiong spoke, Dong Zhuo's generals all requested to fight.
As a military general, the only way to achieve merit is to fight in battles.
No one wants to fall behind.
"Prime Minister, now that the nine continents have been united, we should not create a strong enemy. Although Loulan is a small country, it has already surrendered to Qin, and now Yuan is determined to conquer it."
At this time, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Li Ru spoke up and advised: "Once we capture Loulan, we will offend Qin and Yuan, and the loss will outweigh the gain."
"Master Li is wrong!"
Lu Bu stood up, looked at Li Ru, and said directly: "Now that the nine continents have been united, it is the time for the Prime Minister to show his skills."
"The fight for supremacy is like sailing against the current. If we don't advance, we will retreat. If we don't take this opportunity to expand our territory and strengthen our power, we will eventually be eliminated by other princes!"
"What's more, they are just barbarians from the Yuan Kingdom. Why should we be afraid?"
"And the power of the Qin State was suppressed by the God of War alone. Can you see that?"
Li Ru said: "General Lu knows that the power of the God of War alone overwhelmed the entire Qin State, so you can imagine how powerful he is."
"And the Queen of Loulan and the High Priest are both the fiancées of Zhao Wuzhi, the descendant of the God of War. If we provoke the God of War to take action, even if we are not afraid, it will be troublesome!"
"So what if he is a martial god? I want to see if his sword of kingship can defeat my Fang Tian Hua Ji? Can his immortal soldiers defeat my Xiliang cavalry?"
Lu Bu was full of fighting spirit. His Fang Tian Hua Ji was ranked first on the Han Dynasty's Divine Weapons List. He had long wanted to meet the God of War who was ranked first on the Qin Dynasty's Divine Swords List.
He believed that once the Nine Continents Divine Weapons List was announced, his Fang Tian Hua Ji would certainly be able to surpass the God of War's Wang Quan Sword.
Watching the arguments between Lu Bu and other generals and Li Ru and other conservative advisers, Dong Zhuo tapped the table with his fingertips, thinking quietly in his heart.
Although the God of War and the magical soldiers under his command look very powerful, he is the strongest prince of the Han Dynasty in Huangzhou and has many generals under his command, so he is not afraid.
What's more, he also has the invincible Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian.
Think of this.
Dong Zhuo made up his mind and ordered: "My son, I will give you 100,000 Xiliang cavalry. You must capture Loulan and bring back the queen and the high priest."
He had heard that the Queen of Loulan and the high priest were both extremely beautiful women, and they were exotic beauties. The thought of it made him excited.
It must be fun to play.
certainly.
As the most powerful prince of the Han Dynasty in Huangzhou, although he was licentious, slept on the dragon bed at night, and was tyrannical and cruel, he had not yet reached the point where he was blinded by lust.
The Queen of Loulan and the high priest were just one of the reasons why he sent troops.
More importantly, he wanted to take this opportunity to become famous.
If Lu Bu defeated the God of War, it would be equivalent to directly destroying the myth of the Qin State.
Regarding his future conquest of the Qin State.
It has vital strategic significance.
in addition.
Even if the God of War did not appear, as long as Lu Bu defeated the Yuan Dynasty's cavalry and captured Loulan, it would be a great achievement in expanding the territory for the Han people in Huangzhou.
It can greatly enhance his fame and reputation, attract heroes and counselors from all over the world to join him, and help him expand his power and dominate the world.
This is the real reason why he decided to send troops.
certainly.
The premise of all this is that he has full confidence in Lu Bu.
"Don't worry, foster father. I promise to conquer Loulan and bring the Queen of Loulan and the High Priest back to you in a few days!"
Lu Bu was overjoyed and promised.
"General Lu, you can wait until the Yuan army breaks through Loulan, and then launch a surprise attack. While the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is waiting behind. Loulan can be conquered and the Yuan army can be destroyed!"
Li Ru suggested.
"Thank you for your advice, sir. I'll take my leave now!"
Lu Bu took his leave, reorganized his troops and set out to attack Loulan.
…
at the same time.
Xianyang.
Prince Wu's Palace.
A mechanical bird flew down from the sky and fell into the hands of the tide demon Mingzhu.
Mingzhu took out the note and saw the contents. His eyes turned cold: "A mere Tartar dares to spy on Loulan. He is really courting death!"
Mingzhu came to Tian Yan, Yan Lingji and Yan Fei with the news.
"His Highness is currently in seclusion, and this matter still requires our decision."
Mingzhu said.
The Queen of Loulan and the High Priest were Zhao Wu's fiancée, and they must not fall into the hands of the Yuan soldiers and be toyed with and humiliated by them.
"I remember that Dian Qing's magical sword soldiers are near Loulan and have not withdrawn. Let them take action!"
Tian Yan thought about it and said in a deep voice.
"Can!"
The girls nodded, and then Mingzhu quickly passed the message using the mechanical bird.
…
Loulan.
The desert, lonely smoke, and yellow sand all over the sky.
An ancient city stands in the yellow sand. Loulan warriors, holding long spears, patrol back and forth, with tension and anxiety in their eyes.
They already knew that the Yuan cavalry was about to attack.
Woo woo woo~~~Woo woo woo~~~Just then, a desolate and majestic horn sounded from the distant sky. The soldiers on the Loulan City were startled and looked up.
I saw smoke and dust rolling in the sky, yellow sand filling the air, and the earth shaking, as if a giant beast was rushing towards me.
“Here it comes!”
“Here it comes!”
"It's the Yuan Dynasty cavalry!"
The Loulan soldiers were trembling with fear and trepidation. They saw a gray torrent appear in the sky, sweeping along the yellow sand.
The flags covered the sky and blocked out the sun.
The long swords are sharp and the horses are neighing.
The Loulan soldiers, who had never experienced any war, were so frightened that their legs and feet went weak, their thighs trembled, and their eyes were full of fear.
"Warriors of Loulan, the enemy has arrived. We have no way to retreat, because behind you are your parents, wives and children!"
The majestic and cold voice of the Loulan High Priestess sounded. Holding a scepter and with a graceful figure, she came to the city wall in person with the Queen of Jingjue.
She looked at the trembling Loulan soldiers and said in a heavy voice: "Once the Yuan soldiers enter the city, your parents will be mercilessly killed!"
"Your wives and daughters will be enslaved, become playthings of the Yuan soldiers, and be subjected to all kinds of humiliation!"
"Your sons will be used as rations!"
"All your property will be plundered!"
"You guys, are you willing?"
The high priest's voice was loud and deafening.
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
The Loulan soldiers who were originally frightened instantly had red eyes, a surge of blood rushed to their heads, and they roared angrily: "No!"
"We swear to defend Loulan to the death, and live and die with Loulan!"
The high priest raised the scepter in his hand and took the opportunity to encourage.
"We swear to defend Loulan to the death, and live and die with Loulan!"
"We swear to defend Loulan to the death, and live and die with Loulan!"
…
The deafening sound resounded throughout the world, boosting the morale of all the soldiers, especially the high priest and the Queen of Jingjue who were personally guarding the city.
This is an incomparable encouragement to them.
at the same time.
The Yuan cavalry had already arrived at the foot of the city. Hearing the roar coming from above, Guo Kan's eyes were full of sarcasm:
"If morale is useful, what do we need so many soldiers for?"
"In front of my Yuan Dynasty cavalry, all struggles and resistances are futile."
He rode forward and looked at the graceful and elegant high priest on the city wall and the stunningly beautiful Queen Jingjue, his eyes filled with amazement:
"She is truly a peerless beauty. Your Majesty will surely be delighted when he sees her!"
Guo Kan was very happy. The happier Emperor Yuan was, the greater his contribution would naturally be.
Thinking of this, Guo Kan became excited. He said loudly to Loulan City, "Loulan High Priest and Queen, I will give you one stick of incense to open the city and surrender."
"Otherwise, I will capture the city, massacre the entire city and exterminate all the people there, leaving no one alive!"
"You Yuan dog, you want us to open the city and surrender? Don't dream on. If you want to invade Loulan, you have to walk over my dead body!"
The high priest did not hesitate at all, his tone was firm and he was ready to die.
At this time, she must not waver in the slightest.
Otherwise, the morale that has just been built up will collapse in an instant.
"Stubborn!"
Guo Kan drew out his sword, pointed it forward, and shouted, "Warriors of the Yuan Dynasty, do you know what is ahead?"
"Loulan City!"
All the soldiers shouted in unison.
"wrong!"
Guo Kan roared, and with the help of his powerful true energy, his voice was like thunder, spreading throughout the three armies.
The 100,000 Yuan cavalry were suddenly stunned.
Isn’t Loulan City in front of us?
Just as they were puzzled, Guo Kan's powerful voice sounded again:
"What's ahead is not a city, but a display of military merits!"
"It's pure silver."
"It's golden jewels."
"She is a tender and tender woman waiting for me, the great warrior, to ravage her."
“Roar, roar, roar!!!”
The 100,000 Yuan Dynasty cavalry were stunned, and then let out earth-shaking wolf howls.
Each of them looked like a ferocious hungry wolf, with shining eyes, as fierce as a wolf or a tiger.
"Warriors of the Yuan Dynasty, take up your swords, charge into Loulan, and keep your swords for three days. All the gold, silver, jewelry, and women you have seized will be yours!"
"kill!"
As soon as Guo Kan's voice fell, the hundred thousand cavalrymen roared, and all the Yuan soldiers rushed towards Loulan City with red eyes.
"kill!"
"Woman! I want a woman!"
"Jewelry! I want jewelry!"
This moment.
One hundred thousand soldiers were like starving beasts.
greedy.
Cruel.
Bloodthirsty.
Fearless and unafraid of death.
…
"It's over!"
Looking at the ferocious Yuan soldiers who were as fierce as wolves and tigers, the blood that had just been aroused by the Loulan soldiers was instantly poured with a basin of cold water, and their whole bodies were cold.
Even the high priest's plump body couldn't help but tremble.
She wasn't afraid.
But she knew that if nothing unexpected happened, the Yuan soldiers would break into the city in less than a quarter of an hour.
The consequences of that...
It’s chilling to think about it.
"Has King Wu's reinforcements not arrived yet?"
The desperate eyes of the Queen of Jingjue were filled with hope.
She was just an eighteen-year-old girl, and at this moment she wished that her lover could descend from the sky like a hero and save her from the water and fire.
But she knew that fairy tales were all lies...
Her fair hands tightly grasped the dagger at her waist, her eyes determined.
If she was defeated, she would commit suicide rather than fall into the hands of the Yuan soldiers and be humiliated by them.
"Don't worry, I'm coming!"
At this moment, a figure descended from the sky and landed between the Queen of Jingjue and the high priest. He reached out and held their delicate bodies in his arms.
"Your Highness King Wu!"
The Queen of Jingjue and the High Priest trembled, their beautiful eyes widened instantly, and they were filled with surprise.
The surrounding Loulan soldiers widened their eyes.
Looking at Zhao Wu curiously.
“Is this the legendary King Wu of Qin, the man of the queen and the high priest?”
"So heroic and extraordinary!"
The Loulan soldiers were shocked and conquered by Zhao Wu's perfect appearance and temperament in an instant.
"It's all right."
Zhao Wu gently patted the two people's smooth jade backs. After he came out of seclusion and received the news, he rushed over.
"Um!"
The high priest and the Queen of Jingjue nodded and leaned on Zhao Wu's strong, powerful and warm chest. They felt more solid than ever before.
Just a few simple words made them feel unprecedented security, and their hearts were filled with sweetness and satisfaction.
Boom boom boom! At this moment, a deafening roar came from the side of the Yuan soldiers: "You bold barbarians, don't wait to die!"
With a loud shout, a thousand soldiers wearing iron armor and holding long-handled swords came rushing over like a tiger with a terrifying murderous aura.
Although there are only a thousand people, their earth-shaking momentum is more terrifying than that of a hundred thousand people.
"The God of War's divine power Mo Dao Bing?"
Guo Kan was startled, but when he saw the number of the other side, he immediately relaxed and sneered, "A mere thousand-man team, so what even if they are elite?"
"Destroy them for me!"
Guo Kan pointed the scimitar in his hand, and tens of thousands of Yuan cavalry rushed directly towards the powerful Modao soldiers.
