I’m The King Chapter 516: : Running to Shannan County

The war has long ended, but Gao Yuan's heart is a little heavy, not because of the opponent's desperate fighting and unyielding fighting spirit, but because of the opponent's fighting power. The chapter update of the Vertex novel was the fastest, and when it had the upper hand, it caught the opponent off guard, and the opponent's desperate counterattack still caused a lot of casualties to himself, and more than 500 cavalry lost their combat effectiveness. , had to withdraw from this unfinished battle and retreat to Jishi City.

"The fighting power of the Qin army is the best in the world, so I'm not wrong." Looking at the soldiers of the Zhengdong Army who were sweeping the battlefield, Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "If we fight face to face, I'm afraid our casualties will be huge. Bigger."

"Their fighting skills are not to be feared, they are not better than us, and they are even worse than our soldiers, but their desperate fighting spirit is shocking." With the blood on his face, he said to Gao Yuan: "This is the first time I have encountered this kind of army under absolute disadvantage, but still has no intention of giving up. They are not the best, but they are the most tenacious."

Gao Yuan nodded, "This is the Qin Army. The reason why they don't give up is because of the strict and almost harsh military discipline of the Qin Army. On the battlefield, soldiers who give up fighting without an order to retreat will be ordered to retire and deprived of Identity not only harms oneself, but also sits on the family. Therefore, on the battlefield, it is impossible to have a retreating Qin army, because they are dead, and the family members still receive national treatment. It is better to die than to live."

"What if the leader ordered the retreat?" He Lanxiong asked in surprise. "For example, this He Yangguang?" He pointed to the dead He Yangguang who was brought to him by the soldiers.

Gao Yuan got off his horse, walked up to He Yangguang, bowed slightly, showed his respect to the enemy, and turned to look at He Lanxiong, "If it is said that the commander ordered the retreat, then after the war, we will only be held accountable. His responsibility is to deprive him of titles, military merits, and be demoted to civilians or ordinary sergeants. Of course, his family will also be degraded."

"This is too unreasonable! And it's unreasonable!" He Lanxiong shook his head, "Sometimes, retreat is for a better attack."

Gao Yuan smiled, "The Qin State has a great cause and a large number of talents. The countries in the Central Plains have attracted many talents to them. Therefore, they never worry about not having excellent generals. Our philosophy is to save people and lose ground. Everything is gained, the land is lost, and all land is lost. But for the Qin people, this is not the case. They would rather lose thousands of troops than lose an inch of land. This kind of philosophy makes the Qin people the most fierce and stubborn army. Of course, this is also due to their strength. In the past 20 years, no national team has ever defeated the Qin army on the frontal battlefield. Last time, Zhao Mu almost succeeded, but in the end he failed."

"Then this time we captured Shannan County. Don't the Qin people want to retaliate with all their strength?" The infantryman was a little worried, "General Gao, have we stabbed a hornet's nest?"

Gao Yuan laughed, "It's true that we have stabbed a hornet's nest, but in front of us, there is still a big man to stand against it. What do I want Feng Fayong's 10,000 people to do? I will take Shannan County and give them what to do. Naturally I want them to block the deadly hornets for me. Actually, it’s not a last resort. I really don’t want to poke this hornet’s nest, but if the people of Qin gain a foothold in Shannan County and develop their tentacles into the depths of the grassland, at that time, we can poke them again. We can’t stab them anymore, only they will sting us at that time.”

"That Zilan is still complacent after being taken advantage of, right?" He Lanxiong revealed a look of disdain.

"Zi Lan is not stupid, he knows it very well, but even if he is stung with bruises all over his body, he has to protect us, because it is better to be covered with bruises than to be stabbed with blood holes all over his body. As long as the former is handled properly, it will not be fatal, but the latter will be fatal." Gao Yuan chuckled, "After taking down Shannan County, let's manage our territory while watching them bite each other. We must do our best to support Zilan so that he can last longer, the longer he lasts, the better for us.”

Hearing what Gao Yuan said, He Lanxiong and the infantry all laughed.

"What's next?"

"Let the soldiers rest and eat, and then go to He Yangguang's three thousand infantry."

"Why don't you contact Feng Fayong, the Qin people are so difficult to fight, you can't let them pick up ready-made ones, you have to do something!" The infantry said slowly.

"Bai Yucheng has already gone." Gao Yuan said with a dry smile.

Mrs. Lu, under the **** of her housekeeper Lu Bin and ten soldiers from the Eastern Conquest Army, ran overnight, and ran for dozens of miles in one night. After taking a breath, he felt the ground tremor. Lu Hong had also been in the army when he was young, so he naturally knew that only large-scale cavalry running could produce such a shocking effect. He couldn't help being shocked, and immediately helped Mrs. Lu Get on the horse, life is at stake, even if Mrs. Lu is jolted to the bone by the horse, she can only lie on the horse with her whole body, and gallop along with the crowd. It is also fortunate that she grew up in the frontier, and has a husband who is a military general, and her equestrian skills are not bad. For an ordinary woman, she would not be able to support herself just by running like this.

Until noon, not only the people, but even the horses could not hold on anymore. More than a dozen people had to stop again.

"Ma'am, drink some water and have a rest!" Lu Bin handed over a leather pouch filled with some water, while he and ten soldiers grabbed some snow cubes on the spot and stuffed them into their mouths. Chew and swallow to quench your thirst.

"Shouldn't this place be far from Shannan County City?" Looking at the vast snow field, Lu Bin looked at the ten escorting soldiers with a sad face.

All of the ten stood up and nodded, "We've been walking towards Shannan County, it shouldn't be far away, Steward Road, after a short rest, let's continue on our way, this place doesn't reach the village, I don't Shop, if the few of us encounter another group of horse bandits, it will be over."

"Ma'am, I'm afraid I can't hold it anymore!" Lu Bin glanced at Madam Lu worriedly. At this moment, Madam Lu fell down in the snow, her face was pale, and her body trembled slightly. It was obvious that her body had reached her limit.

"Then let's rest for a while longer!" All heads showed a look of helplessness, Mrs. Lu is like this, I'm afraid she really can't hurry.

It's okay to not rest for a while. When everyone was ready to go on the road, Mrs. Lu felt that her bones were about to fall apart. , although I was a soldier in the early years, but after being a housekeeper for so many years, I have already repaid the skills I had in the early years. I gritted my teeth and put Mrs. Lu on the horse, but I couldn't get on it myself. When he was about to start his journey, the thunderous sound of horseshoes behind him sounded again.

Lu Bin and Mrs. Lu's complexion changed drastically. Seeing that the ten soldiers of the Zhengdong Army drew their sabers and put on a posture to meet the enemy, the heads of the capital let out a cheer, "It's General Cao, General Cao broke through Come out."

The cavalry team in the distance was getting closer and closer, and the leader was Cao Tianci. When Lu Bin and Mrs. Lu let out a long breath, they were frightened by the miserable appearance of Cao Tianci and his party . At this time, there were only a few hundred people left in the team of nearly two hundred people, and almost everyone was injured. Looking at the soldiers of the Eastern Conqueror Army dripping with blood, Lu Bin's face turned pale again.

"Mrs. Lu, we finally got out, but we lost all your belongings to the horse bandits."

"It's good for people to come back. Those belongings will be gone if they are gone."

"I also lost those properties. If it weren't for those horse bandits fighting for those properties, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to escape. Mrs. Lu, let's go quickly. After those horse bandits finish dividing up the spoils, we can catch up. I really can’t run away, now we have no strength to fight.” Cao Tianci wiped his face, and the blood painted his face red.

"Let's go, hurry up!" Madam Lu might have been stimulated by the blood that Cao Tianci gave these soldiers. For a while, she got the strength from where she didn't know, and hit the horse's stock with a backhand, leading the way forward. go.

On the snowfield, the situation has changed suddenly, but in Shannan County, a hundred miles away, it is still peaceful. Except for Cao Tianci and his group, the rest of the Qin army were blocked on the snowfield.

Lu Chao has been very excited these two days. One reason is that his mother will soon arrive in Shannan County. She has been separated from her parents for nearly five years. I'm afraid it's also gray hair on the temples, but finally we can reunite together, thinking of the happy life of a family of three in the early years ~IndoMTL.com~ Lu Chao couldn't help but feel happy.

Another thing that excited him was that a large caravan came from Shannan County, the Four Seas Trading Company. Shannan County is far away from the mainland of the Qin State, hanging on the lonely grassland, with few people. There are very few large caravans here to do business, because coming here is basically a loss-making business. A large number of goods arrived, and the goods they brought were just some daily necessities that Shannan County desperately needed. Although their prices are a bit ridiculously high, Lu Chao can still understand that businessmen are after profits, and they naturally want to make money when they come here. What's more, even if they sell at the current price, I'm afraid they can still only save their lives. Book.

Lu Chao was a little puzzled at first, but after the leader of the caravan of Sihai Trading asked to see Lu Chao and made their request, the doubts in Lu Chao's heart were relieved. The other party wanted to throw stones to ask for directions. He didn't intend to make money on this trip, but he still wanted to reach an agreement with Lu Chao, preparing to monopolize the market here.

Lu Chao has great confidence in the future of Shannan County, so it is understandable that a new caravan like Sihai Trading wants to make some venture capital. He even admires the vision of the boss of Sihai Trading.

Exclusive, of course! Lu Chao agreed without hesitation. Invest now, benefit in the future, the first comer has this right. (To be continued..)
