Chapter 371
When he was the king of Qiang in arugan, he was at war almost every year.
They attacked the Yue country, the Chu country, the sand primitive tribe, and the other countries in the Western Region.
He would beat up whoever he didn’t like, and he almost completely relied on plundering for a living.
It was extremely unlucky to have a border with a country like the Qiang country. The countries of the Western Region were robbed every year. For example, the Yue country was blackmailed every year.
At that time, the sand barbarian race had not yet been unified. Moreover, the sand barbarian tribe that bordered the Qiang Kingdom had a relatively flat terrain, which was relatively suitable for the cavalry’s surprise attacks. Therefore, they were often attacked and harassed by the Qiang Kingdom’s cavalry.
However, every conflict and battle between the Qiang Kingdom and the sand primitive people was for the sake of gang Qi.
He just didn’t like it.
Robbing?
Sorry, the sand primitive tribe was even poorer than the Qiang Kingdom.
There were also times when the Qiang Kingdom plundered the Chu Kingdom, but not many times. As the terrain was too harsh, it was not worth it to go north to plunder.
The border between Chu State and Qiang state was nearly 2000 miles long. It was simply despairing to look at.
However, the heavens had mercy on them. The border of nearly 2000 miles was basically covered with big snow mountains. There were only two mountain passes that could lead to the North from Qiang state and directly into Chu State.
In order to cope with the crazy sneak attacks and harassment of the Qiang state, the Chu State had spent decades building passes at these two mountain passes.
One was ping Nan pass and the other was ping Xi pass.
There were only about 30000 soldiers guarding these two city passes.
However, it was definitely easy to defend and hard to attack.
Attacking such a City Pass was a complete nightmare.
The two city passes were built between the mountains. The highest point of the city wall was more than thirty meters high, and the lowest point was fifteen meters high.
They were like tigers and Dragons, lying on the two mountain passes.
Basically, as long as they had a few thousand soldiers, they could defend against several times the enemy.
The terrain here was too dangerous. The Army could not display their full strength here, let alone the cavalry.
Therefore, after the construction of these two city passes, the large-scale raid by the Qiang country on the Chu country had stopped.
But there would still be a small surprise attack.
There were often small groups of Warriors from the Qiang Kingdom who crossed some relatively short mountains and rivers to enter the territory of Chu State to plunder.
However, the harvest each time was not high, far less than that of plundering the countries of the Western Region.
Therefore, for the next ten years or so, King arugan focused on plundering the Western regions and blackmailing the State of Yue.
At that time, in order to support SU Nan’s rebellion and independence, Chu State gave out benefits on a large scale, so the relationship with the Qiang state had also eased greatly.
It had been more than ten years since a major conflict had broken out between the Chu and Qiang countries.
And this time!
The battle erupted once again.
The Queen of the Qiang Kingdom, arunana, led 50000 troops to attack Pingnan pass.
They were aggressive and murderous.
This kind of attack was destined to be futile.
Although the Queen of Qiang Kingdom’s Army of 50000 was shocking, it was only a City Pass between the valleys. The terrain was narrow and dangerous. It was impossible to deploy 10000 troops at once.
But he didn’t expect the battle to be so dangerous.
First of all, Queen arunana had trebuchets, even though she only had a dozen.
There was no doubt that these trebuchets were sent by the State of Yue, and they were even controlled by the soldiers of the State of Yue.
There were also dozens of siege crossbows.
The most powerful ones were the mercenaries of the sand primitive tribe under arunana.
Because of Jin Jun’s call, most of the sand primitive mercenaries returned to the Great Southern kingdom to seek refuge with her. However, there were still a small number of concept Queen’s favors left, including Hawk yang.
What they were most worried about was that the Qiang Kingdom and Jin Jun would go to war. In the end, this terrifying thing didn’t happen. Arunana led her Army to attack Chu.
This Kasaya is good.
Therefore, the sand primitive mercenary Army’s combat power was once again unleashed.
They had actually climbed up such a dangerous City Pass from the mountain ranges on both sides like monkeys.
On several occasions, they had caused terrifying casualties to the Chu state’s Army.
The Chu State hurriedly tightened their belt and desperately increased their troops.
They had to defend the two city passes.
On the other hand, Queen arunana’s Army was still tirelessly attacking the two city passes every day.
....................................
The battle of Queen arunana.
This made the already chaotic situation even more intense.
The people of Yue were overjoyed.
The people of Chu cursed.
Everyone knew that the reason why Queen arunana sent out her troops was definitely because of Shen lang, and Shen lang was helping Ning Zheng win the throne.
Jin Jun had retreated, and King Wu had not moved. The battle with King Chu had become the focus of the two princes ‘performance.
“Is this pretty boy Shen lang so awesome? Queen arunana actually sent 50000 troops to attack Chu for him?”
what can a pretty boy like Shen lang do? maybe he’s handsome and knows how to welcome the Queen.
from the looks of it, it’s the Queen of the Qiang Kingdom who is sucking up to Shen lang. It’s amazing to be handsome.
It was impossible to wash away such rumors.
No one believed that Queen arunana would truly fall in love with dumb. They all thought that he was just a shield.
Everyone felt that arunana and Shen lang definitely had an unspeakable relationship.
It was a great injustice.
Queen arunana and dumb were truly in love.
What about the relationship between Shen lang and Queen arunana? What relationship!
Arunana trusted Shen lang and stood on the same side as him without any reservations.
But,
If the two of them met for less than an hour, arunana would have the urge to beat him to death.
She even had an affair with him?
Please, I, arunana, don’t like him at all, okay?
..............................
In the Chu Army’s camp.
“Traitors! They’re all traitors!”
Lord Chu was furious.
Bastard Jinjun, bastard Wu Qi.
They had agreed to destroy the Vietnamese.
And the result? The two of you ran away, leaving me alone to fight.
He was extremely shameless.
And that b * tch arunana, didn’t she agree to it? They would definitely not use force against my Chu country.
Why are you so eager to attack my Pingnan pass as soon as I retreat?
In order to please Shen lang, this pretty boy, you are really willing to spend a lot of money.
Lord Chu received battle reports every day.
Arunana’s attack on Pingnan pass wasn’t a feint at all. She was going all out.
The battles were extremely intense every day.
They forced the King of Chu to send more troops.
“This stupid woman, doesn’t he know that attacking Pingnan pass is helping ning Qi instead?”
However, even though King Chu was furious, he was still full of ambition and passion.
So what if Jin Jun had retreated?
So what if the King of Wu’s Army stopped?
The war situation of our Chu country is still going well.
These words were not false at all.
Over the past month, King Chu’s battle could be said to have progressed from victory to victory.
He had already taken down four counties in the northern part of Tianxi province, and the border had been pushed forward by 300 miles.
More than half a month ago, the 300000 soldiers of the Chu State had surrounded the city.
Zhenxi city was not only the Zhong family’s old nest, but also the true capital of Tianxi province.
The moment they were captured!
The entire Tianxi province had fallen.
King Chu’s Army could directly attack the capital of Yue State.
With the current situation, it might be difficult to completely destroy Yue country.
However, ceding the entire Tianxi province was indeed in the bag.
Zhenxi city could be said to be the third largest city in the State of Yue, and it could also be said to be the fourth.
In terms of the city’s sturdiness and height, it surpassed the capital of Tiannan province. With the Zhong family’s hundreds of years of management, it could be called one of the strongest cities in the world.
However, in terms of population and wealth, it was not as good as the southern Heaven city.
It took King Chu half a month to complete the encirclement of Zhenxi city.
This wasn’t just an Army encirclement. There were also defense lines, ravines, temporary fortresses, and so on.
The perimeter of the city walls was more than forty miles.
Therefore, the area of the encirclement battlefield that King Chu had set up was more than a hundred square kilometers.
Looking down from the sky.
It was truly boundless, connecting the heavens and the earth.
There were military camps, fortresses, and defense lines everywhere.
There were dense forests and high mountains everywhere in the country of Nan ‘an. It was difficult to find a large piece of flat land. An Army of hundreds of thousands would not be able to display its strength.
As for Tianxi province, other than the mountain in the middle, the rest of it was almost a flat plain, the most suitable for fighting a large-scale war.
In order to fight this battle, Lord Chu had almost given everything he had.
This was the true war that could topple a country.
Then, did King Chu borrow money from the yin Yuan Association?
No!
The King of Chu was greedy and stingy, unlike ning yuanxian who was a prodigal. His National Treasury was much more abundant than that of Yue country.
“Father, after close to a month of intense battle, the casualties of the Yue Army have exceeded 40000, while our Army has suffered over 60000.”
Lord Chu nodded, expressing his satisfaction with this number.
As the main attacker, it was normal to have 20000 more casualties than the other side. It was a very healthy number.
“After three additional troops, our Army on the battlefield of Zhenxi city still stands at around 320000. Zhongyao’s Army is less than 80000, only a quarter of our total.”
“We still have a large number of siege weapons and sufficient provisions.”
“As long as Bian Xiao’s Army doesn’t head south, we still have a high chance of victory.”
“Even in terms of morale, our Army is still far superior to the Vietnamese Army!”
Lord Chu picked up a huge saber and came before the map.
This saber weighed at least a few dozen Jin. King Chu liked to play with it to show his bravery.
I heard that the Prince of Yue’s body is trembling more intensely now. He’s playing with two walnuts in his hands every day? ” Lord Chu laughed.
“Yes! Ning yuanxian’s health is getting worse and worse, and ning Qi is aggressive. Perhaps it won’t be long before this extravagant King of Yue is stripped of his power.”
Lord Chu sneered, ” he’s an exquisite man. He’s either playing with Jade or literary toys every day. It’s not like a lonely man, with his saber by his side every day.”
“Mighty king!”
“With Your Majesty here, our Chu country will definitely win this battle!”
Lord Chu’s gaze fell on Zhenxi city, which was located in the middle of the map.
Originally, he had plenty of time to besiege the city and wait until the Zhongyao Army’s morale was at its lowest before attacking. This way, he would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
However, the situation had changed.
Jin Jun retreated, and Wu Wang stopped.
Then, he, King Chu, would have to speed up the battle.
They destroyed Zhenxi city in the shortest time possible and pushed the Army all the way to the capital of Yue State.
Then, he would negotiate with ning Qi.
Although he couldn’t finish it all in one stroke.
From then on, no one would be able to stop Chu from becoming the Overlord of the South.
Compared to me, ning yuanxian is still too far away. This person is just a false appearance.
However, Lord Chu’s heart was still clouded.
What was the Supreme Emperor of Great Yan trying to do?
He actually came forward to Pressure King Wu. What did ning Qi promise the Emperor?
Do you think that I, King Chu, do not have enough respect for the Emperor?
I also contributed to killing Jiang Li more than 20 years ago. At the crucial moment, I directly switched sides.
Of course, Lord Chu was also putting gold on his own face by saying this. This man was too cunning and fickle, so Emperor Jiang Li didn’t like him and kept a distance from him. He didn’t even join the emperor’s camp.
On one hand, the King of Chu secretly flattered the Emperor of Dayan, while on the other hand, he desperately wrote letters to Jiang Li to express his admiration. He was trying to take advantage of the situation.
After the sudden death of Emperor Jiang Li and the betrayal of the general of the DA Qian Kingdom, the King of Chu immediately turned hostile and sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers to attack the territory of the DA Qian Kingdom.
Therefore, he had always believed that he had done a great job in killing Jiang Li.
However, in the emperor’s mind, this person had only succeeded in seizing more than 100000 square kilometers of land.
However, it was a little like snatching food from a Tiger’s mouth.
“Father, when are we going to attack the city? I’m afraid that things will change if we delay.” “There’s been something wrong with the rumors in Yan capital recently!” The Crown Prince of Chu said.
King Chu sneered,”His Majesty is not willing to see a powerful state like Yue, nor is he willing to see a powerful state like Chu.” However, my Chu State and the great Yan Empire don’t share a border. I respect the majesty of the Emperor, but the great Yan Empire can’t possibly send an Army to interfere.”
“Shen lang is the main culprit for the current situation,” the Crown Prince of Chu said.
“This evil beast!” King Chu hated Shen lang to the core.
In the previous border hunting competition, King Chu was humiliated because of Shen lang.
This time, Shen lang was also directly responsible for Jin Jun’s retreat.
Shen lang was also the one behind arunana’s attack on the Chu country’s Pingnan pass.
Therefore, King Chu really wanted to skin Shen lang alive.
“This evil beast is really harming others without benefiting himself. Does he think that this kind of behavior is helping Ning Zheng? He was completely helping ning Qi! If ning Qi succeeds, Shen lang will die without a burial place, and the Jin family will be exterminated.”
The Vice minister of rites of Chu State gritted his teeth and said, ” this clown has brilliant means but no strategic vision. If he is killed by ning Qi, I am willing to get drunk.
In the last border hunting competition, the person who had been slapped in the face the most ruthlessly was this Chu state’s minister of rites. Of course, there was also the Minister of Honglu temple who was in an even more miserable state. His vital parts had been seriously injured and had been cut off.
“Let’s ignore this little evil beast for now, it’s just a small matter! Attacking Zhenxi city and exterminating Zhongyao is the most important thing!”
Lord Chu brandished his heavy saber and slammed it on the table, shouting, ” three days later, we will officially attack Zhenxi city. We must settle this with one battle!
“My Chu country will definitely win this devastating war!”
..............................
This thousand-mile expedition was far more difficult than he had imagined.
This was especially so for Shen lang.
It was simply too difficult.
More than 6000 meters above sea level, more than 1000 miles of no man’s land.
Even on earth, with complete equipment, it would be difficult to cross the big snow Mountain of this level.
The average altitude of the Himalayas was only about 6000 meters.
There were no roads in the entire great snow Mountain.
Therefore, this was simply a sky March.
Never before.
The 10,000-strong Army led by Shen lang left 10000-year-old snow on the ground wherever they went. There were no traces of anyone.
There wasn’t even a bird.
The most difficult one was Shen lang.
After reaching an altitude of five thousand meters, he began to rebel.
His skin turned red, and his head felt like it was going to explode.
Dumb couldn’t memorize it.
Mulan baby carried him and felt slightly better.
At the very least, Mulan’s body was fragrant. Occasionally, when her head hurt too much, he could still lick it.
However, the weather was too cold, so he had to be careful when he stuck out his tongue.
It was basically-20 to-30 degrees Celsius, and the ultraviolet rays here were especially strong.
However, Mulan’s body was indeed magical.
On this snowy mountain that was 6000 meters above sea level, she was still walking as if she was on flat ground.
Even in such a cold temperature, her body was still warm.
In such a hot place like South Phoenix country, her delicate body was cold.
On the snowy mountain, her delicate body was warm.
It was too wonderful.
Therefore, one day, even though Shen lang had a rebellion, he could not help but eat Mulan twice.
In the end, after eating it, he started screaming again, claiming that his head was about to split open and that he couldn’t breathe at all.
Every time they were done with each other, Mulan would dig a snow nest and boil water for a bath.
Seeing how much Mulan doted on Shen lang, Queen Sharman could not help but say one day, ” “Sister Mulan, why don’t you kill this husband and I’ll introduce you to another one?”
To be honest, if her husband was like Shen lang, he would have been beaten to death a hundred times.
“I’d rather kill you,” Mulan said angrily.
Queen Sharman was helpless. This powerful and beautiful Mulan had definitely been bewitched.
She actually treated such a scumbag husband like a treasure.
........................
On this day, the Army had no choice but to stop moving.
Because of the blizzard, the cold wind was whistling.
The wind was so strong that even the soldiers would be blown away.
After finding a Leeward area in the mountain, the Army dug a large hole in the snow and set up camp inside.
Dumb stood in the wind with great interest, inexplicably excited.
The scenery here was too beautiful.
It’s a pity that my wife isn’t here, and my baby isn’t here either.
His physical strength was almost limitless. After obtaining the approval of Shen lang and Li qianqiu, he climbed the highest mountains in the surroundings.
Then, he started to roar.
Shen lang was afraid that his voice would cause an avalanche.
........................
The next day!
The snow stopped.
The sky was clear.
“It’s too beautiful!”
Shen lang was also mesmerized by the spectacular view.
The Nirvana Army had already started cooking.
No, it wasn’t cooking, it was boiling water.
The matchmakers he brought had to be used carefully because there were not many of them.
You can only drink hot ones once a day.
It was chicken soup with chili.
Everyone was given a small bowl and ate it with the compressed biscuits.
After Shen lang planted the Super chilies from the West, he brought over 500 kilograms of dried chilies.
Once he drank the chili chicken soup, he felt as if his entire body was about to burn.
After eating the dry rations and drinking the chili chicken soup, everyone filled up a pot.
On the way, she felt cold and took a sip.
This is so good!
Of course, they had also brought along a lot of hard liquor.
However, after the people of the sand primitive tribe drank the strong wine, their bodies became hot, but their steps were also messy, and they still wanted to play drunk.
And after drinking too much, the body would become numb. One wouldn’t feel cold, but in fact, it would be very cold, and one might even freeze to death.
However, the effect was even more obvious when strong wine was added to the chili chicken soup.
If it was any other Army.
They had all died on the way.
However, the Nirvana Army and the Sharpshooter Army of the sand primitive tribe had to rely on chili water, strong wine, and high-calorie food to travel more than one hundred and fifty miles a day.
Were there any casualties?
There was!
The dozens of Warriors of the sand primitive tribe were too careless. They didn’t even care that their boots were worn out.
As a result, both her feet were frozen.
By the time Shen lang realized it, it was already completely black and rotten. He had to cut it off.
After the amputation, they would all die.
After that, the Army had to check their boots several times a day.
The blizzard was the one that caused the most damage.
More than 300 people had gone missing in one night.
By the time they were discovered again, they were already completely frozen to death.
But the courage and morale of this Army were rare in the world.
Even in the face of such casualties and danger, no one retreated.
The Nirvana Army was even more cheerful than on the ground, and they were very immersed in the scenery. To them, this kind of fatal danger was more like a test from the heavens.
Marching to the top of the world seemed to have made their long-suppressed temperament become cheerful.
He felt like the sky was high and the clouds were wide.
The sharpshooters of the sand primitive tribe were shouting and shouting every day.
Because their hearts were filled with the romance of primitive tribal men.
He wanted to conquer the entire world.
Every time they climbed a peak, they would kneel down and pray to the gods.
Then, he would draw totems on the peaks of the snow mountains.
Of course, after an hour, the totem would disappear, either blown away by the wind or covered by snow.
........................
The Army was not afraid of the difficulty of the expedition.
Thousands of mountains and rivers were nothing.
A full eight days later!
The 10,000-strong Army led by Shen lang had finally walked through the 1000-mile Snow Mountain.
Of the original 10700 troops, only 9500 remained.
1,200 people were sleeping in the snow Mountain.
Some corpses could be found, while some couldn’t.
After they had walked through the last Big Snow Mountain.
His vision was no longer pure white.
They had finally left the great snow Mountain.
This journey of heaven and hell on the snowy mountain had finally come to an end.
Everyone was crying tears of joy.
It was not easy.
Many people’s eyes were red and bleeding.
The snow was white and the reflection was blinding. After looking at the snow Mountain for a few days, he felt like he was going to be blinded.
Shen lang had already prepared sunglasses for everyone.
However, during the March, many people’s equipment, luggage, and even sunglasses were blown away by the strong wind.
She accidentally fell down and lost everything on her.
As a result, more than 1000 sunglasses were missing in the end, and they had to take turns wearing them. This caused some of the soldiers to have different degrees of eye injuries.
After leaving the great snow Mountain!
Shen lang and the 9000 soldiers bowed to the majestic Snow Mountain.
Nature was too awe-inspiring.
Snowy mountain, we dare not say that we have conquered you.
We just saw you and passed by you!
Even Shen lang felt like he had just survived a disaster.
I can’t believe that we’ve actually created a miracle.
He had actually crossed the big snow Mountain at the top of the world.
I’m too amazing. We must continue to tell our children about this great history. Their father flipped through thousands of miles of snowy mountains and walked to the top of the world. Shen lang trembled with excitement.
Queen Sharman, who was beside him, said,’Shen lang, can you be more shameless? Have you ever walked for a day?”
Shen lang hugged Mulan’s neck and bit her beautiful face.
“What’s the difference between my wife carrying me through the great snow Mountain and me walking through it myself?” Shen lang said nonchalantly, ” furthermore, this is not the only miracle I have created. Do I have to tell you one by one? ”
For example, master lang had sex with Mulan when they were 7000 meters above sea level.
Such a great thing, do I have to be proud?
Of course, after the incident, Mulan almost gave him artificial respiration. But Yingluo’s kiss was also a deep one.
Also, I pretended to be a dog barking on a Snow Mountain seven thousand meters above sea level. Am I proud?
..............................
After crossing a thousand miles of snowy mountains, there were another thousand miles of high mountains and steep hills. It was still a no man’s land.
However, compared to the difficulty of the great snow Mountain, the high mountains were like flat ground.
The Army’s casualties were also minimal, and their daily marching speed exceeded one hundred and eighty miles.
Five days later!
The Army walked out of the mountain!
They returned to the ground from the mountain.
He finally saw lush vegetation.
They finally saw the town and village.
This place was only about 300 li away from King Chu.
The 9,500 soldiers led by Shen lang went around the cities and the villages.
They headed straight for the Chu royal capital.
This was the heart of Chu State, with its back facing the vast mountains. It could be said to be a carefree place.
Moreover, this place was more than three thousand miles away from the battlefield of Tianxi province, so there was no tension at all.
Instead, he was filled with excitement.
Every village and city was plastered with the Chu King’s edict.
Every day, someone would announce the news of victory on the battlefield.
Almost everyone believed that they would win this battle without a doubt.
Soon, His Majesty the King of Chu would be able to take down the entire Tianxi province.
Chu State would soon become the Overlord of the South.
At that time, the entire Chu country would be celebrating.
However, with joy came blood and tears.
For the King of Chu to launch such a large-scale war, he would need an astronomical amount of resources and military expenditure.
Therefore, the taxes imposed on the citizens of Chu State would also be increased.
In almost every town, there were officials and bailiffs collecting taxes.
Every town was recruiting strong men to do labor.
On each road, there was an endless supply of grain to the front line.
These peasants had whip marks on their bodies and tears in their eyes. Along with the scolding and reprimands of the escorting soldiers, the whips in their hands kept falling.
Was this considered as the people suffering in prosperity and the people suffering in death?
In comparison, although ning yuanxian was a wastrel, he did not treat the people as harshly. Previously, he had mobilized hundreds of thousands of farmers to transport grain and had also given them salaries and food. Although it was very little, at least these farmers did not work for free.
........................
Half a day later!
Shen Lang’s Army was discovered by the scouts of Chu.
Therefore, they didn’t try to hide their tracks anymore, and the Army advanced towards the capital of Chu country at full speed.
Instantly!
All the officials in the surrounding cities and counties were completely shocked.
What?
They had actually discovered an Army of the State of Yue?
A total of ten thousand people?
And from the South?
How is this possible?
That was thousands of miles away from the Snowy Mountains, and hundreds of miles away from the high mountains.
Did they fly here?
His eyes must be playing tricks on him.
There must be a mistake.
Perhaps they were some bandits who had disguised themselves as soldiers of the Yue State.
Or were the commoners rebelling?
Following that, the Chu State continued to send small groups of Scouts to investigate.
A summary of all the information.
The officials who stayed in the capital city of Chu had to believe a fact.
The Vietnamese Army had actually come to attack.
The Queen of Chu State was shocked, the messenger Shu mi who stayed behind was shocked, and the minister’s desk trembled.
Then, he immediately sent someone to report to King Chu as quickly as possible.
He also ordered all the surrounding cities and counties to gather all their troops to defend the Chu royal capital!
Speed was the most important thing in war!
After they were discovered, Shen Lang’s 9500 troops traveled day and night without rest.
In just one day and one night.
They had marched for more than 200 li.
They arrived at the capital city of the Chu Kingdom.
