Chapter 51: The First Battle

『PS: Thank you to the boss "sunhoo" for your 10,000 yuan reward! ~』

————The following text——

"Woo--"

The heavy and long horn sounded from the Qin army array.

"Is this... going to attack?"

Li He was a little surprised. He thought the Qin army would continue to send people to fight with him.

"Woo--"

The second horn sounded, and the 200,000 Qin troops in the distance began to move abnormally.

The soldiers on Dongliang City behind Li He also realized that the Qin army was about to launch an attack, and they spontaneously shouted at Li He.

"General Li Wubai, return to the city quickly!"

"The Qin army is going to attack the city! Li Wubai will return to the city soon!"

Amid the messy shouts, the third horn sounded the Qin army formation in the distance. Then, the 200,000 Qin troops seemed to have a mountain torrent, and rushed towards the city from the south and west sides of the East Liang.

The magnificent momentum made Fan Hu, a doctor from Dongliang, look shocked.

The most impressive fear in his memory was the mountain torrent that broke out when he lived in the Qingshui River when he was young. At that time, the mountain torrent rolled towards his village with a overwhelming force, and instantly flooded the village called Fan Village.

And in Fan Hu's view, the momentum of the 200,000 Qin troops is no less than the mountain torrent of that year.

"Li He..."

Amid the countless calls to remind Li He to return to the city as soon as possible, Liang Ji cushioned her feet and looked at the figure outside the city, clasped her left hand into a fist and pressed her chest, feeling the thumping heartbeat, her face full of worry and convening.

Faced with such a powerful Qin army, Li He naturally did not dare to continue to stay outside the city, but turning around and running would damage the image of the "warrior" he had just stood up. So he held a sharp sword in his hand and trotted backwards. Although the speed was a little slower, he was not embarrassed. After all, he stared at the oncoming Qin army from beginning to end, showing calmness.

Not to mention others, at least Liang Ji's eyes at Li He were full of longing, which made Dong Liang Jun, who noticed her expression, grit his teeth secretly.

It was not until just a few feet away from the city gate that Li He turned around and walked into the city, waved his hand to the guards on both sides of the city gate, saying, "Close the door!"

"yes!!"

The guards were straight and straight. Not to mention the soldiers of Shaoliang, even the Wei soldiers brought by Xia Yangjun were full of respect when they looked at Li He.

"Bang!"

The south gate of Dongliang City was finally closed again.

Hearing the sound, Xia Yangjun on the city tower completely breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Zhai Hu and praised: "Li Wubai General, he is a real warrior!"

Zhai Hu laughed, then looked at the Qin army outside the city, which was like a mountain torrent, and raised his arms and shouted: "My Shaoliang and the men of Wei State dare to fight the Qin army to the death?"

"Dare!" The guards on the city wall shouted in unison.

They had just witnessed Li He's thrilling battle with the five Qin generals. Li He's feat of picking five Qin generals in a row was so intense that their whole body was filled with blood and their morale increased to an unparalleled level. Even if the number of Qin troops coming from outside the city was astonishing as the vast ocean of rivers and seas, it could not extinguish the blood in their hearts.

At this time, Li He, covered in blood, had already walked onto the city wall.

As soon as he stepped on the city wall, a general of Wei took the lead in bowing Li He and said excitedly: "Li Wubai Generals! Your feat of killing the five generals of the Qin army just now has inspired us. You are really a warrior!... Oh, here in the Marquis of Zheng."

Li He subconsciously looked at the left chest of the other party's armor and saw the sign "Two Thousand" engraved on it. Only then did he realize that the other party was a two thousand general in the Wei army.

A two thousand general was the first to bow to a five hundred general, which was almost impossible to see in a highly hierarchical army, no matter which country it was in.

It can only be said that Li He's feat just now deeply impressed this two thousand general, and of course he also impressed the Shaoliang soldiers and the Wei soldiers on the city.

Li He bowed his fists and said, "It turned out to be General Zheng Erqian... Unfortunately, the Qin army is about to attack the city, so we cannot talk to General Zheng Erqian. When the Qin army is repelled, Li will toast and apologize to General Zheng Erqian."

"What did General Li Wubai say..." Zheng Hou was full of joy when he heard it: "No need to give a toast and apologize. I will wait and drink a few more bowls at that time."

"Okay!" Li He agreed with a smile: "I will treat you at that time."

Seeing this, Hou Zheng raised his arms and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Did you hear it? When the Qin army is repelled, General Li Wubai invites me to wait for wine... Do you want to have wine?"

"Think!" The soldiers of the two countries around were becoming more and more excited.

"Then let me kill the Qin army!"

"Oh--" the soldiers in the city responded loudly.

Seeing that Zheng Hou's two or three words inspired the soldiers on the city to become more morale, Li He nodded secretly and praised: He is worthy of being the two thousand generals of the Wei army.

At this time, Han Yan, Wu Heng, Hu Feng and others also rushed over from a distance and greeted Li He excitedly: "Li Wubai General."

"Why are you still in the city?"

Li He frowned slightly: "Go down, the surprise troops have another mission."

Hearing this, Fox Beg pleaded: "Brother Li, today is the first battle for the Qin army to attack the city. As the elite of Wei camp, my surprise team is unreasonable to stay in the city? At least you can let us stay..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Yan, Wu Heng and several other 100 generals also asked for a fight.

Seeing these people looking expectant, Li He was not good at damaging their morale. He heard this and said, "Then... don't cause trouble for the soldiers in the city. In addition, it's okay to tell you in advance. Tonight is the time for my surprise team to play a big role. If anyone is injured in advance, don't blame me for kicking him out of this operation."

"I understand!" Han Yan and the others nodded immediately and responded.

After saying goodbye to Han Yan, Fox and a few others, Li He quickly walked to the city gate tower. Even though the soldiers guarding the city along the way had already entered the state of fighting, they nodded to show their heads.

"Li Wubai General!"

"Li Wubai General!"

...

It is no exaggeration to say that after what happened just now, not to mention whether the Qin army remembered him, at least the guards in Dongliang City had already recognized Li He and were pleased and surrendered to him.

Li He kept nodding and responding, quickly walked to the city gate tower.

From afar, he saw Liang Ji leading Dongliang Jun and the palace maid Anu in the prime minister.

"Li He."

Liang Ji came up with him in a few steps. Although Li He was covered in blood and looked a little disgusting and scary at the moment, for some reason Liang Ji was not afraid and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"Don't worry, Shaojun, I'm unscathed."

Li He hugged Liang Ji and fisted, and at the same time he looked at Dong Liang Jun.

It is rare that Dongliang Jun nodded to him solemnly to express his affirmation and recognition. Obviously, the old man also knew how critical Li He's feat was to improve the morale of the guards on the city. If Li He had not been Li He, even if the soldiers in the city were ready to fight to the death with the Qin army, they would probably have been robbed of their morale and shrunk by the Qin army's momentum.

"Is it really okay?"

She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and put her feet on her feet as if she wanted to wipe the blood from Li He's face.

Li He immediately felt that Dong Liangjun behind Liang Ji gave him an old father-like hostile gaze.

"This... I'll wash my face later, so there's no need to dirty Shaojun's handkerchief."

Li He took a step back quietly. Seeing that Dong Liangjun stared at him, his eyes eased a lot. Immediately, the old man took out a stack of square ancient handkerchiefs from his sleeve. He was about to hand them out, but the palace maid Anu blushed and handed his handkerchief to Li He: "Li Wubai General, why not use mine."

"Thank you."

Li He glanced at Dong Liangjun and saw that he had no expression, so he took Anu's handkerchief. Then he saw Liang Ji pouting unhappily.

This made him feel quite unfair.

Fortunately, Zhai Hu's call at this time relieved him of the siege. He hugged Liang Ji and Dong Liang Jun and walked quickly to Zhai Hu.

Zhai Hu glanced at Li He and joked, "Now is not the time to talk about affair with his children, right?"

Li He dared not admit anything, and said embarrassedly: "Zhai Sima was joking. I dare not have any inappropriate thoughts about Shaojun..."

Even if there is, I can't admit it in front of Dong Liangjun. Wouldn't this old man be so guarded against him like a thief?

"Hey."

Zhai Hu chuckled, and did not continue the topic. He asked with a serious expression: "Do you still have the strength?"

Seeing this, Li He also put away his smile and said solemnly: "Don't worry, even if you fight with the Qin army for a day, it's not a problem."

"very good!"

Zhai Hu nodded with satisfaction, then hugged Li He's shoulder and whispered: "Try to find a way to boost morale, and never let morale fade, otherwise..."

"I understand." Li He nodded solemnly.

At this time, the Qin army outside the city had already rushed outside Dongliang City like a mountain torrent.

Speaking of which, Dongliang City actually has a city-moist canal, but because this is located downstream of Zhishui and Weishui, it has been suffering from mountain floods for years, the canal bed is filled with soil washed down from the loess hills upstream. The water depth is extremely shallow, and it is barely the height of the adult shoulders, and it can no longer play the role of a city-moist canal.

Now, after exploring the depth of the canal, the Qin soldiers who rushed over jumped into the canal without hesitation and set up a long ladder to attack the city in the water.

"Shoot the arrow!"

A Wei general shouted.

With an order, the Wei crossbowmen on the city launched a volley.

To be honest, considering the density of the Qin army outside the city, the Wei army's crossbowmen would not be able to shoot in the air even if they closed their eyes.

However, the casualties they caused to the Qin army were not worth mentioning to the 200,000 Qin army. It was like a small stone that was thrown into the pool. Although a few ripples splashed, it soon returned to peace.

"kill--!"

The Qin army shouted, climbing up on the long ladder of the siege, as if an ant was attached. Even if the soldiers in front kept falling from their side, the Qin soldiers behind still did not hesitate, as if they had only the belief of "attacking the city wall" in their hearts.

Faced with this Qin army that was as fierce as a wolf and a tiger, not to mention Shaoliang's soldiers, even the Wei army under Xia Yangjun was shocked.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yang Jun said in a lost voice: "How did the Qin army become so fierce?"

Hearing this, Zhai Hu frowned and said nothing.

In fact, whether it is Xia Yang Jun or Zhai Hu, they are not newcomers who have fought with Qin for the first time. The two sides have been in contact for many years.

In Zhai Hu's impression, although the Qin army was brave, it was not as fierce as it was today... fearless of death.

Otherwise, how could the 500,000 Qin army be defeated by the 50,000 Wei Wushang in the Wei State?

But today's Qin army is more ferocious than Zhai Hu's expectations, even though he has improved his evaluation of the Qin army.

"Military merits and ranks..."

Zhai Hu frowned and murmured.
