"Whoosh ~"
Her hair flew in the wind, creating a curtain of beads. Under the sunlight, it showed a trace of a rainbow.
"This guy, he didn't want to stay in an inn, but insisted on taking me to the wilderness to wash. How annoying," Shan Lan whispered as she raised her hand to brush her waterfall-like hair, wiping off the water droplets.
"Isn't this for safety? After all, it's been a day. Even if Lu Buwei's reaction is slow, he should have found out that you're missing. He will definitely send people to search the city. If they find you, it will be troublesome. " He crossed his arms and leaned against a tree, looking straight at Shan Lan who was squatting by the river and washing her hair.
Shan Lan didn't expect that her whisper would be heard by him. She blushed and stopped talking.
"Where are we going next? Are we going to find my sister?" After a moment, Shan Lan couldn't help but ask.
"What? You don't want to be with me that much? "Sei Itō asked with a smile.
Shan Lan paused and didn't answer. He didn't know what she meant. Did she like being with him or not?
"Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. I originally wanted to go to Chu or Shu, but since you miss your sister so much, let's go back to Zhao first. "Sei Itō didn't get an answer. He put down his arms, straightened up, and said softly.
After a moment of silence, Shan Lan, with her back to Sei Itō, suddenly said softly, "… I can also go to Chu or Shu with you."
Although Sei Itō didn't see Shan Lan's face, he could guess that Shan Lan's face must be blushing at this time. Her face was full of shame. Because the meaning of this was not only her attitude, but also her willingness to follow the chicken and dog.
"It's enough to hear your words. You can go to Chu and Shu at any time. It's there anyway. Let's go back to Zhao first to see your sister. After all, you haven't seen each other for many years. You must miss her very much. "Sei Itō smiled softly and said softly.
"Yes." Shan Lan whispered. Then, he stood up and turned to look at Sei Itō.
In an instant, a halo of light appeared around Shan Lan who had her back facing the sun. In contrast, she looked like a beautiful fairy who had just emerged from the water.
"Let's go." Sei Itō reached out his hand and looked at Shan Lan.
Shan Lan stepped forward and placed her hand in Sei Itō's palm. She held his hand and followed Sei Itō into the distance …
Five days later, after a rapid march. Li Jing's and Xu Rong's armies clashed with the Yan Kingdom's army in the future's Zhao County and near Yi 'an during the Warring States Period.
The two armies stood in formation, facing each other with a radius of a thousand meters.
"Which country's army is this?" Yan Guocheng looked at Li Jing's mighty army and asked with a frown.
"According to our spies in the Zhao Country, Marquis Ju Lu secretly recruited soldiers," a man beside him replied.
"Zhao Mu?" Li Bu asked in surprise.
"Not Zhao Mu. Not long after you returned, Prime Minister, Zhao Mu was killed by this newly promoted Marquis Ju Lu. Then, he inherited Zhao Mu's marquis title and fief, "that person explained.
"Ridiculous. Not only is the murderer not punished, but he also inherits the killed person's title and fief. This Zhao Country's laws are corrupted to this extent. Why should they be attacked by our Yan Kingdom? "Li Bu sneered.
"Prime Minister is right," the person beside him agreed.
"Inform everyone to get ready. Prepare to attack, "Li Bu instructed the person beside him.
"Yes," that person replied and was about to turn and leave. However, at this moment. In their eyes, Marquis Julu's private army — Li Jing's army suddenly moved. The neat army suddenly split in the middle. Five wooden carts that were more than ten meters tall, five or six wide, squarish, with complicated patterns drawn on them slowly moved out of the formation.
"What are those?" Li Bu asked in shock.
"They seem to be mechanical carriages," the person beside him guessed.
"Mechanical carriages? Is the Mo Family helping the Zhao Country? "Li Bu said with a dark expression.
Li Bu was the one who pushed for this war against the Zhao Country. He was under a lot of pressure in the imperial court. If he won, it would be fine. Instead, the officials who opposed him would praise him and praise him for being wise. However, if he lost, his ending would not be so good. Based on his understanding of the Yan Kingdom, it would be Yan Kingdom's fault if he was still alive. Hence, regardless of whether it was for his political career or his own life, he would not allow any accidents to happen in this war.
"Go down and get the soldiers into formation," Li Bu ordered sternly.
"Yes," that person replied and quickly ran down.
Not long after, the entire Yan Kingdom army of four hundred thousand began to move. The infantrymen stepped forward and set up a shield formation. They looked at the strange carriages in front of them cautiously.
The five strange carriages that the Yan Kingdom army was guarding against suddenly stopped when they were about two hundred meters away from the Yan Kingdom army. Then, the wooden planks in front of the carriages broke and opened from top to bottom, revealing two one-meter long, wide, and square openings. Then, two thick black metal pipes with strange patterns on them extended out from the openings and pointed directly at the Yan Kingdom army.
Looking at the ten black metal pipes that suddenly appeared, the Yan infantrymen did not know what they were used for. However, they could not help but gulp nervously.
In the next moment, the iron pipe shone and a whirlwind quickly emerged from the side of the carriage. The whirlwind wantonly rolled around without any pattern. Then, a bright light green ball gradually appeared in front of the iron pipe. It grew bigger and bigger until it finally condensed into a bright ball of light with a diameter of nearly one meter ….
Then, the ball of light shot out and turned into ten green beams of light that were invisible to the naked eye. They shot straight at the 400,000 Yan Kingdom soldiers.
"Whoosh!"
"Raise your shields!" The general of the Yan Kingdom shouted.
However, as soon as he finished his sentence, the ten balls of light fell into the middle of the Yan Kingdom army.
"Boom!"
Then, the balls of light exploded and formed ten strong winds that were as strong as a force 14 hurricane. They spun at high speed and spread out in all directions. In the process, any Yan Kingdom soldiers that came into contact with them, regardless of whether they were men, horses, or carriages, they were all blown away by the wind. They were like trash that was blown away by the tornado.
Even so, the five chariots did not stop their attack. Once again, a strong wind gathered around the chariots and condensed into a green light ball. Then, the green light ball blasted towards the Yan Kingdom's army, whose formation had been completely destroyed by the strong wind.
"Boom!"
An even stronger gust of wind blew through the broken army of Yan Kingdom.
"Qin Qiong! Cheng Yaojin! "Li Jing shouted from the middle of the army.
"Present!" Two men with the same long white hair stepped out of the ranks and shouted.
"Both of you lead two thousand Black Armored Cavalrymen from the left and right flanks to the back of the Yan Kingdom army and kill them!" Li Jing ordered.
"Yes!" The two of them accepted the order and returned to the formation. Then, the sound of horses galloping could be heard. Two silver teams charged towards the back of the Yan Kingdom army from the left and right.
"Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji!" Li Jing shouted again.
"Here!" The two of them stepped out and cupped their fists.
"Both of you lead one thousand and five hundred Black Armored Cavalrymen to the left and right flanks of the Yan Kingdom army and kill them!" Li Jing ordered.
"Yes!" The two of them stepped back and led their teams to the left and right flanks of the Yan Kingdom army.
"The rest of you, follow me." In the end, Li Jing shouted loudly.
"Yes!"
The army moved together and trotted towards the chaotic Yan Kingdom army.
Under the continuous attack of the Xuan Qi formation chariots and the invincible Xuan Qi cavalry and infantry who were wearing Xuan Qi armor as if they did not have swords, spears, and arrows, the entire 400,000-strong army of the Yan Kingdom was defeated by Li Jing before they could even organize a decent resistance.
In this battle, the Yan Kingdom army lost one hundred and twenty thousand soldiers, ten thousand were injured, thirty to forty thousand were captured, and the Yan Kingdom's Prime Minister was beheaded.
Then, Li Jing left behind five thousand soldiers, several Xuan Qi formation carriages, and various other mechanical materials to guard the captives and the wounded of the Yan Kingdom. He led the remaining sixty-five thousand soldiers and horses to chase after the defeated army of the Yan Kingdom, killing their way to the Yan Kingdom.
In just one day, they reclaimed Yi 'an and rushed towards the Xiyang region.
Just like Li Jing, Xu Rong's army, which was also under Sei Itō's command, also achieved a great victory. They almost killed all of the Yan Kingdom's 200,000 soldiers on the plains of Zhao County. Then, he also left five thousand soldiers to guard the Yan Kingdom's captives and injured soldiers. He led the remaining soldiers to chase after Qing Qin's defeated army.
In just one day, Songzi was reclaimed and the army rushed towards Xiyang.
…
"Great victory! Great victory! "
A day later, a fast horse rushed into the city from the east gate of Handan City. The rider on the horse shouted loudly.
"Did you hear that! Great victory! "After the horse galloped past, the surrounding citizens of Handan City exclaimed in delight.
"I heard it, great victory!"
"Marquis Julu, well done!" a citizen of Handan City suddenly said.
"That's right, Marquis Julu, well done!" the others quickly echoed.
"…"
Then, songs of praise for Marquis Julu and Sei Itō spread throughout the city.
At this time, after galloping for a while, the horse stopped in front of the royal palace. Then, the rider dismounted and ran into the depths of the royal palace while shouting, "Great victory, great victory!" until he reached the King of Zhao.
"What did you say?!" Even though the King of Zhao believed that 'His Majesty' would bring victory, he did not expect victory to come so quickly.
"Your Majesty, great victory is at the front. At noon yesterday, Marquis Julu's army defeated the Li Wei and Qing Qin armies and killed more than 200,000 enemies. Including the injured Yan soldiers, they captured 80,000 enemies. They reclaimed Songzi and Yi 'an, which were previously occupied by the Yan army. Currently, they are advancing towards the Yan Kingdom, "the reporting soldier quickly repeated loudly.
"Good!" the King of Zhao laughed loudly.
At the same time, in the depths of the royal palace.
"What! He actually won! "Queen Han Jing exclaimed in astonishment as she looked at the reporting officer.
