Chapter 289 Departure
"Your Majesty, 20,000 soldiers have been on guard for a long time. They can set off at any time with just your order."
"Your Majesty, the ten mechanical sand boats have been maintained, allowing us to ignore the Western Desert."
"The kerosene and water guns are also ready. They are enough to kill all of the poisonous insects of the Queen of Jingjue."
"Your Majesty, I have prepared 50,000 dan of grain, 5,000 jin of dried meat, and 1,000 jin of oil."
……
Tian Xuan asked casually, and everyone was shocked, reporting the situations they were responsible for. Chen Ping and Li Shang were excited when they thought about the revenge they would get soon.
"Very good!" Although everyone's words were chaotic, Tianxuan relied on his profound cultivation to easily extract the information he needed. After everyone finished speaking, a satisfied look appeared on his handsome face, and he nodded in agreement, "Xiao He, you stay in Wushuang City, and I will leave Cao Shen to assist you."
At this point, Tianxuan's tone was tinged with sarcasm.
"You two are calm by nature. Only if you stay at the rear for me can I feel at ease. Otherwise, I am afraid that as soon as I lead the army to the Western Regions, my home base will be destroyed."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. We will definitely defend Wushuang City." When Xiao He heard Tianxuan say this, he felt like a heavy burden had fallen on his shoulders and he vowed to Tianxuan solemnly.
Cao Shen was originally dissatisfied with Tian Xuan for not taking him with him. After learning the importance of the mission they were responsible for, Cao Shen shuddered all over, and a resolute face emerged: "Your Majesty, if Wushuang City is lost, I am willing to come to you with my head!"
"There's no need to be so tragic," Tian Xuan laughed dumbly, "There aren't many forces that can pose a threat to Wushuang City now. The Xiongnu are still licking their wounds, and the Great Yuezhi are unable to take care of themselves in the face of the Xiongnu's attack; the Donghu want to attack my Wushuang City, but the prerequisite is that they have the ability to fly over the Xiongnu's territory."
"As for the surrounding Qiang tribes, they are all independent, and many of them are oriented to our Great Qin and have established trading channels with Wushuang City. It's just that Wushuang City is too important, and I am leading the main force of my army to fight in person this time, leaving only 3,000 soldiers in the city, so I have to be cautious."
After hearing Tian Xuan's words, Liu Ji and others felt their tense nerves relax a little, and ambiguous expressions appeared on their faces.
"In this battle, I will not only destroy the Jingjue, but also shock the entire Western Region!" Tian Xuan put his hands behind his back and cast a sharp gaze at the setting sun that had already half disappeared behind the western mountains. "After this battle, I don't believe that there is anyone in the Western Region who dares to be an enemy of my Great Qin!"
Clang!
Tianxuan has led everyone back to Wushuang City. Ten feet away from everyone, there are more than a hundred guards, who do not allow others to approach. Therefore, everyone, led by Tianxuan, discussed the matter of attacking the Western Region without any reservation. At the end of the conversation, a touch of icy rainbow light shot out from Tianxuan's eyes.
As Tianxuan's cultivation became more and more profound, the light emitted from his eyes was mixed with a ray of innate energy and fell into the void, making a clanging sound like the sound of a sword.
The people around Tianxuan could sense the lofty ambitions in his voice, and were all infected, with the same enthusiasm on their faces. Once upon a time, even if these people could not be called rebels of the empire, they had nothing to do with the loyal subjects of the empire. However, the world has changed, and everything has been renewed. At this time, they have returned to the Great Qin Empire, this unprecedented great country.
…………
"Looking north from the mountains and rivers as the wolf smoke rises"
The dragon flag rolls, the horse neighs, the sword air is like frost
My heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River
Who can resist in twenty years?
Hateful and mad, the sword is directed towards
How many loyal brothers and sisters are buried in other places?
Why would you die to serve your family and country?
I can't bear to sigh and feel even more speechless and my eyes are filled with blood and tears.
The horse's hoof goes south and people look north
I look north, the grass is green and the dust is flying. I wish to defend the land and open up new frontiers.
The great China wants to be celebrated by people from all over the world."
……
Three days passed by everyone silently.
In the early morning, the cool white sun rose from the eastern sky, casting endless light on the vast earth. As many as 20,000 Qin soldiers, divided into infantry, cavalry, and spearmen, were deployed outside Wushuang City, forming a huge square formation. Looking down from the sky, it was extremely neat.
Several mechanical sand boats that could ignore the vast desert and travel through the place known as the death zone, along with mechanical creations such as Poto Saburo and Poto Shichiro, were disassembled and installed on vehicles pulled by camels and war horses.
Since Shang Yang's reform, the Qin army has been the strongest army in the world. Even if it occasionally fails, it will eventually win back. For example, Li Mu, the Wu'an Jun of Zhao, who led the Zhao army to defeat the Qin army several times, is now the governor of Yanmen County in the Qin Empire. From the beginning to the end, the Qin army did not take the Western Regions seriously.
Li Shang and Chen Ping led 3,000 soldiers to the Western Regions. To their comrades who stayed in Wushuang City, it was clearly a good job given to them by the emperor. No one could have imagined that Li Shang and Chen Ping would return in defeat. By asking the brothers who escaped back, the 20,000-strong army knew the cause and effect of Li Shang and Chen Ping's defeat.
The 20,000 Qin soldiers turned into mournful soldiers with endless flames of anger burning in their hearts. As the morning sun rose, facing the scorching sun in the east, the Qin soldiers, starting from someone, sang the song "Loyalty to the Country" that came from Tianxuan's mouth. The passionate melody, with its overwhelming momentum, went straight to the sky.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
Several birds flying across the sky were unable to withstand the murderous aura coming from below, and fell from the sky like frightened birds. The moment they touched the concrete floor, they turned into unrecognizable meat paste.
"Brothers, are you ready?"
After the song "Loyalty to the Country" was finished, Tianxuan, who was wearing a snow-white silver armor and a black cloak, held an iron saber, urged the fire cloud under his crotch, and shouted to his subordinates.
"Today, I will lead you to attack the Western Regions and let the countries in the Western Regions know that the dignity of our Great Qin cannot be violated! This battle is related to whether our Great Qin can make money continuously through the Western Regions, which is a treasure trove. Only victory is allowed, not defeat! Do you dare to fight with me against the heroes of the Western Regions?"
Call!
Huoyun had followed Tianxuan for several years, and before he surrendered to Tianxuan, he was already several years old. This time he went into battle, his old age was evident, and he snorted as soon as Tianxuan finished speaking, but the eyes of this horse king who had experienced the wind and sand in the desert were still dark and bright, just like an old horse in the stable, with a thousand miles to go!
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
……
The Qin army soldiers were excited by Tianxuan's words. After Tianxuan's words to boost morale, the army fell silent for a few breaths, and then a roar of applause rang out. The word "kill" was heard, condensing endless killing intent, and gathered together, heading towards the distant Western Regions, as if to tear the Western Regions apart with unstoppable fighting spirit.
"Okay, let's set off!"
Tianxuan was very satisfied with his subordinates' reaction, turned his horse around, and surrounded by his sister wives, Yu Yanfei and Yueshen, he waved the reins in his hand and galloped away. However, when Huoyun began to gallop, Tianxuan suddenly turned his head and cast a meaningful look at a corner of the army.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The 20,000-strong army, full of fighting spirit, guarded their master and marched towards the Western Region at the end of the earth like an unstoppable steel torrent.
