Chapter 350: Going to war in anger
In the northern border of the Qin State, a Great Wall built with rammed earth stands quietly, and Wushi Fortress is an important pass in the northwest section of the Great Wall.
In the past, after King Xuan of Zhou led an army to defeat Rong Di, in order to prevent Rong Di from the north from going south again, he left this Great Wall here.
However, the Great Wall left by King Xuan of Zhou could not withstand the invasion of Rong and Di. The Quan Rong in the north colluded with the Marquis of Shen in the Zhou Dynasty, and finally killed King You of Zhou and destroyed the once powerful Western Zhou Dynasty.
After King Ping of Zhou, who united with foreign enemies and killed his father to seize the throne, moved eastward, the land of Guanzhong, which was the foundation of the Zhou family, became the territory of the Quanrong, and the Great Wall that stretched across the northern border had no use.
It was not until the Qin State gradually brought the Guanzhong area under its control through bloody battles with Rong and Di that the Great Wall left by King Xuan of Zhou finally regained its role.
For hundreds of years, this Great Wall built of rammed earth has become a copper and iron wall in northern Xinjiang, resisting invasions from the north again and again for the Qin State.
I don't know how many northern tribes wanted to go south, but they all had to stop because of the obstruction of the Great Wall.
Today, as an important pass in the northwest section of the Great Wall, the figures that have appeared countless times have once again appeared outside the Wushi Great Wall.
"Children from Qin State, do you dare to leave seclusion for a while?"
"Child of Qin State, are you afraid?"
"Children of Qin State, don't guard the pass and dare not come forward."
…
Outside the tightly closed gate, the shouts of several canal Qingqi were so clear.
Those provocative words were a bit restrained at first, but later on they became more and more offensive.
The soldiers of the Qin army standing on the top of the city heard all this. While anger appeared on their faces, they couldn't help but tighten their right hands on the spears.
The people of Qin have always been fiercely competitive. They heard these disgusting words over and over again. How could the Qin army on top of the city not be angry?
The eyes of the Qin army on top of the city were filled with blazing anger. Jiang He, the leader of the Jiang clan riding on a horse outside the city, looked ahead with a smile when he heard a sentence coming from the front.
.
"Clan leader."
Just at this moment, a call from beside him interrupted Jiang He's interest in watching a good show.
When Jiang He turned around to look, a member of the Jiang clan next to him said with some hesitation: "Chief, are those words a little too much?"
"It's passed, has it been?"
While answering the words of his people, Jiang He's mind unconsciously recalled everything Sun Boling said five days ago.
In fact, the people in front of him who were shouting and cursing at this moment were not his soldiers. The Yiqu people living in the grassland always advocated strong force.
If there is any conflict between the two parties, and they engage in a battle with real swords and guns, it will be obvious who will lose and who will win. Why is there such a need in front of us?
At this moment, those people who were constantly shouting and cursing at the Qin army on the opposite side were personally selected by Sun Boling from among the 50,000 Wei troops.
Judging from the actual effect, these people can be said to have successfully aroused the anger in the hearts of the Qin army at the top of the city.
As if he could feel the bursts of anger coming from the opposite side, the smile on Jiang He's face became brighter.
"Since Sima has handed the matter into my hands, I should complete it well. As for..."
While he was speaking, his eyes noticed that something had happened on top of the city on the opposite side, and the expression on Jiang He's face became even more excited.
"Look, that's someone coming."
At this moment, the person who appeared on the top of Wushi Fortress was none other than Bai Yu, the young Qin general who was stationed here not long ago.
Just when he arrived at the top of the city, he heard the disgusting words coming from outside the pass, and the anger in the young and energetic Bai Yu's heart was suddenly ignited.
"These Yiqu people are going too far to deceive others. They just see that Qin is at war with Wei, so they dare to provoke Qin like this."
The deputy general on the side looked at the anger on his general's face and calmly said, "General, there is no need to be angry."
"In recent months, we have often received news of the appearance of Yiqu Qingqi from various places in northern Xinjiang. It is expected that they want to take advantage of the opportunity that our Qin State has no time to take care of to plunder some wealth, grain, and population."
"snort!"
When Bai Yu heard the deputy general's advice, the anger in his heart not only did not subside, but actually grew stronger.
"The more critical this moment is, the less our country of Qin will be able to relax on these Yiqu people in the north."
"Look, it was the other passes that were too indulgent to these Yiqu people, which led to what happened today."
"However, the remnants of Yiqu's troops who were defeated by the Wei State and fled in embarrassment can come to our Wushi Great Wall with such great fanfare today to yell at us."
"Someone is coming..."
The more he listened, the stronger the anger in his heart became, and the more he spoke, the less able he was to vent his anger. Holding the hilt of the long sword at his waist tightly with his right hand, Bai Yu was ready to order the switch to fight.
But before his order could be issued, the lieutenant on the side stopped him.
"General, no."
Blocking the long sword that Bai Yu was about to pull out with both hands, the lieutenant general said solemnly: "Now is the critical moment of the war between our Qin State and Wei State. These Yiqu people are really hateful, but they are not the leaders of our army.
enemy."
Bai Yu felt the resistance coming from his right hand, and then looked at the solemn expression in front of him. The order he was about to give was just withdrawn.
"How are you doing?"
"As an expedient measure, it is better to give some money, food and grass to the Yiqu people. I hope they will naturally withdraw after being satisfied."
"But……"
"General, there is no room for failure in Wushi Fortress."
Bai Yu wanted to say something else, but under the gaze of the deputy general, he finally shook his head with some helplessness.
"In that case, then..."
"General, be careful!"
Before Bai Yu's voice could completely fall, a shout came from the side, and then a person rushed towards the two of them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After a few breaths, when Bai Yu was helped up by the soldiers guarding him, he saw an arrow pierced into the wall behind where he had just stood.
As for where this feathered arrow came from, the answer is naturally self-evident.
Outside the Wushi Great Wall, Jiang He slowly put down the strong bow in his hand, and looked at the Jiang clan members beside him with some satisfaction, "How is it?"
"The patriarch's shooting skills are superb, I really can't match him."
"Hahaha……"
After hearing the praise from the Jiang clan members around him, Jiang He, who had always been quite confident in his shooting skills, naturally felt very happy.
Accompanied by another wave of vibrations from the bowstring, another feather arrow was shot towards Ushi Sai not far away.
After a few breaths, the flagpole hanging with a black Qin flag suddenly broke, and the originally fluttering flag fell down.
"color!"
Jiang He's superb shooting skills naturally won the applause of Yiqu's side, but the Qin army on top of the city only had anger in their hearts at this moment.
"It's too much to bully others, it's too much to bully others!"
Seeing the flag swinging down from the city wall in front of his eyes, Bai Yu's suppressed anger suddenly surged up and burned even more intensely.
The long sword shimmering with cold light was held in his hand, and Bai Yu immediately ordered angrily: "All officers and men, follow me and come out to meet the enemy."
"Here."
"General..."
The deputy general's voice sounded in his ears again, and Bai Yu, who was already filled with anger, said coldly: "These Yiqu remnant soldiers are so provocative. They clearly don't take our country of Qin seriously."
"If I don't beat him severely, how can I, Bai Yu, have the dignity to call myself a general of Qin?"
"I will lead two thousand cavalry to go out and fight. I will trouble General to lead three thousand soldiers to defend Wushi Fortress for Bai Yu."
Faced with Bai Yu's request, the deputy general didn't know how to stop him. As a general of the Qin army, he was naturally full of anger at the scene just now.
After thinking about it for a while, the lieutenant bowed to Bai Yu.
"Follow orders."
