Chapter 294 Tianxuan: Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?
"Morale is high, and defeating the Qin army will definitely not be a problem."
Led by the Queen of Jingjue, the rulers of eight small countries in the Western Regions gathered at the foot of the hill.
Except for the Queen of Jingjue, the rulers of the other seven countries were all men, and their ages varied, from young and energetic teenagers to old men with white hair. However, the rulers of the seven countries, with different national strengths and very different clothing styles, had one thing in common. That was, when the rulers of the seven countries, including Yutian, Taohuai, Weitou, and Moshan, looked at the sedan chair of the Queen of Jingjue, which was hung with light gauze on all four sides, their eyes were filled with the same obscenity.
Although no one has ever seen the true face of the Queen of Jingjue, just the half of her exposed face is enough to make her a beauty that can captivate everyone.
The King of Khotan looked at the eight countries combined, a total of 5,000 people. If they were in the Central Plains, they would only be considered a mob, but in this Western Region, they were already a first-class powerful army. He spoke in the elegant voice that came from the Central Plains with some pride.
"That's for sure!"
"Defeat the Qin army and let them know that my Western Region is not a place where they can act recklessly."
"I heard that the commander of the Qin army, Tian Xuanzi, is known as the Peerless Lord. Once we defeat him, I want to ask him how he still has the nerve to call himself Peerless?"
……
Although the languages used by the Western Regions were similar, there were still some differences. Therefore, in formal occasions, the monarchs of the eight countries all communicated in the elegant language of the Central Plains. Before the King of Khotan finished speaking, the other six monarchs echoed him, and they did not take Tianxuan, the famous general who had made great contributions in the process of Qin's unification of the world, seriously.
"Queen," after expressing his disdain for Tianxuan, the youngest of the kings, the fifteen or sixteen-year-old Wei Tou Wang, who still had a bit of childishness on his face, cast his eyes towards the sedan chair of the Queen of Jingjue, and said hesitantly, "You won't break your promise, will you?"
"Of course not." The Queen of Jingjue lazily half-lying in her specially made and soft sedan chair, a golden poisonous snake wrapped around her snow-white neck, the scarlet snake tongue flickering, wisps of poisonous mist escaping, but she took it lightly. Facing the questioning words of the Wei Tou King, the Queen of Jingjue played with her pet, her tone was particularly charming, "Everyone, no matter who it is, as long as you can send Tian Xuanzi to me, you will be my prince consort!"
Boom!Boom!Boom!
When the seven kings heard the words of the Queen of Jingjue, their hearts began to beat violently in their chests. King Taohuai, who was in his seventies and had a wrinkled face, and no one would find it strange even if he closed his eyes and died the next moment, couldn't help but open his mouth slightly and a drop of saliva flowed down.
"As long as you become my consort," the Queen of Jingjue could clearly sense the obscene gazes from the outside world, but she didn't care at all. She said in a tone full of temptation, "Then, Jingjue can completely merge with your countries and become a behemoth comparable to Loulan!"
'Loulan!'
As soon as this word, which was almost a taboo in the Western Regions, was uttered, the seven kings who were disturbed by the seductive look of the Queen of Jingjue and who were almost captivated by her beauty, all came to their senses, with the same solemnity on their faces.
………………
"Kill!"
"Brothers, follow me!"
"The king said that whoever can take down the head of the so-called Wushuang Jun Tianxuanzi will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold!"
...Led by Jingjue, with Taohuai, Weitou, Yutian, Moshan and other seven countries as wings, they formed a terrifying force in the Western Regions: five thousand soldiers and horses!
The army put together temporarily could not compete with the Qin army, the strongest army in the world. Moreover, in the deserted land of the Western Regions, unless there was a situation like the Gumo Wine Festival, it would be impossible to hide from the Qin army scouts and mechanical bats.
at dusk.
The scorching sun began to set towards the end of the sky. As the setting sun fell, the sand that had been burned to the point of burning feet became cool. Five thousand soldiers and horses, gathered here and there, shouted different slogans, some riding camels, some running on the ground, rushing towards Gumo City a thousand feet away.
The deafening shouts seemed to gather into a sound wave, crushing Gumo City into pieces.
tread!tread!tread!
Because Gumo City was not large enough to accommodate the 20,000 Qin troops, Tianxuan divided his army into two after capturing Gumo City, with 10,000 stationed in the city and the other 10,000 camped outside the city. The huge commotion caused by the Western Region coalition army alarmed the Qin soldiers living in the military camp outside the city.
Amid the chaotic footsteps, the ten thousand Qin troops displayed their incomparable strong qualities. The ordinary soldiers gathered towards the squad leaders, the squad leaders gathered towards the military marquises, and the military marquises gathered towards the captains. It only took half an incense stick of time for the ten thousand Qin troops to gather. Under the leadership of Li Shang, Chen Ping and Fan Kuai, they rushed out of the military camp in a mighty force.
The Golden Crow had completely fallen, leaving only a few rays of afterglow between heaven and earth. The Western Regions coalition forces, shouting slogans that the Qin soldiers could not understand at all, appeared in the eyes of the Qin soldiers who came out of the camp to fight.
Gulu!
Fan Kuai, who was burly and strong, with a beard as fine as steel needles, looked like a big bear. He looked at the enemy running towards him from a distance and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. However, no one on the Qin army, including Li Shang and Chen Ping, thought that Fan Kuai was frightened.
Li Shang and Chen Ping, who were riding on horses alongside Fan Kuai, felt ashamed to face people and lowered their heads at the same time.
A hundred feet away, on the city wall of Gumo City.
"This, is it worthy of being called the Eight-Nation Alliance?"
The Western Regions coalition forces attacked, making such a big noise, Tianxuan naturally heard it. When the Qin army left the camp, Tianxuan brought Liu Ji, Zhou Bo and others to the city wall. Zhang Han was reorganizing the soldiers in the city, ready to go out of the city to kill the enemy at any time. Even though it was dim, Tianxuan still saw this mob clearly.
Before the expedition to the Western Regions, Tianxuan had sent Night Owl masters to the Western Regions to gather intelligence and information for him. Yesterday, Tianxuan knew that an eight-nation coalition army, led by Jingjue and including other small Western countries such as Yutian, Moshan, and Weitou, was formed to seek his misfortune.
The name of the Eight-Nation Alliance made Tianxuan wary. However, after seeing this "Eight-Nation Alliance", Tianxuan knew what a world of difference there was!
With his hands resting on the battlements of the city wall, Tianxuan's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but comment.
"There are only a few thousand soldiers, with no unified command and no unified banner. They simply rely on strength in numbers! If the armies of the Western Regions are all of this standard, then my personal expedition this time is a complete waste of time!"
"Your Majesty, you are absolutely right." Liu Ji, who was standing next to Tian Xuan, agreed with Tian Xuan's point of view. "The army of the Western Regions is nothing to be afraid of. What we should be wary of is the mysterious witchcraft and sorcery!"
