"Xiaozhi, I am in the Yongliang Prefecture of Daqi. Is there a general named Qin?" Yuan Fang looked at Fazheng. Fa Zheng left the mission, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, our Daqi State does have several military attach¨¦s named Qin in the two prefectures of Yongliang and Yongliang. However, these military generals with the highest position named Qin are just partial generals, and they have not been mobilized at all. The power of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. "Fa is from Fufeng in Yongzhou. He is familiar with the situation of civil and military officials in Guanlong. If he says there is no such thing, of course there is no such thing. "This is strange. If this is the case, how come tens of thousands of rebels suddenly appeared for no reason?" "Moreover, without any warning in advance, they appeared outside Chang'an City like magic soldiers descending from the sky." "This fact is really strange. There must be some doubts in it." The ministers discussed one after another, and for a while they were all very puzzled by this rebel army under the banner of "Qin". At this time, Fazheng held up his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the most important thing now is not to investigate the origin of this rebel army, but to immediately launch a large army to march westward, wipe out the rebellion, and regain Chang'an." "Filial piety makes sense. "Yuan Fang slapped the table, waved his hands and shouted: "Pass on my decree, quickly mobilize 80,000 Chinese troops, and set off soon. I will lead the troops to march out of Tongguan and recover Chang'an." After the decree was passed, the generals immediately became excited again. In the midst of excitement, Ma Chao said boldly: "We are just a bunch of rebels. Why don't you ask your Majesty to come and kiss me? I am willing to unite the army to enter the pass. Within ten days, we will wipe out the rebels and recover Xijing." Yu Lin Yi Cong, a member of the imperial family, hurried into the hall. He cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, General Ma Ziyue from Tongguan has urgently reported that one hundred thousand rebels are advancing towards Tongguan with great momentum. General Ma asks your Majesty to send reinforcements quickly to rescue them." One hundred thousand rebels! This latest military information caused an uproar among the officials in the main hall. Yuan Fang also frowned and glanced at Jiang Wei, "Jiang Boyue, didn't you say before that the rebels only have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses? Why did a hundred thousand troops suddenly appear?" "ThisI don't know. Ah, there were indeed only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses attacking Chang'an at that time, but I don't know why the number increased to 100,000 in just a few days!" Jiang Wei was also surprised. Apparently I don't know why. Yuan Fang fell silent. My thoughts were racing, and I gradually realized this rebellion. It doesn't seem that simple. The rebellion of tens of thousands of people came without any warning in advance. The rebel gods descended from the sky and attacked the city of Chang'an, under the banner of "Qin". This was already strange enough. "According to Jiang Wei's description, those rebel soldiers were extremely eerie and strange, and they all wore armor that could not even be broken by cannons, which made it even more strange. You must know that even a flying armor cannot withstand a cannon blast. Looking at the world, apart from Yuan Fang, there are only a few generals who have reached the level of half-step martial saint or above. They can use their blood to withstand the cannon bombardment. And those rebels, tens of thousands of them, all have armor that can withstand artillery bombardment. If Daqi had such armor, Yuan Fang would have used it to deal with the invasion of the American emperor. The most bizarre thing is that the rebels, who originally numbered tens of thousands, grew to 100,000 in a few days, and were heading towards Tongguan to kill them. Yuan Fang remembered clearly that the total garrison of the entire Yongliang Prefecture, including the regular army and county soldiers, did not exceed 100,000. This means that all the garrison troops in the two states suddenly rebelled and joined the rebels. is it possible? Snapped! Yuan Fang stood up and said resolutely: "The Guanzhong rebellion is suspicious. This rebel army is by no means that simple. This time, I have to take action personally." That night, Yuan Fang mobilized five thousand flying tigers stationed in Luoyang. The legion, under his leadership, flew to the direction of Tongguan to assist Ma Dai. The remaining 70,000 to 80,000 cavalry troops were led by Zhang Fei and other generals, and then rushed to Tongguan. Da Qi¡¯s Flying Legion only has 30,000 troops, and the 5,000 Flying Tiger Army is the fastest force Yuan Fang can mobilize. "Furthermore, this Flying Tiger Legion can be used to deal with the US military, but if it is used to deal with the 100,000 rebels who use cold weapons, it actually does not have much advantage except mobility. The reason is simple, because although the US military has aircraft and artillery, their soldiers have no martial arts. Because of this, once the US military's long-range firepower network is breached and the Daqi soldiers get close, a Daqi soldier with bone-forging martial arts is enough to destroy their entire company. And this group of rebels, according to Jiang Wei's description, also all possess bone-forging martial arts. The bandits¡¯ martial arts are comparable, so the Flying Tigers¡¯ martial arts advantage cannot be fully utilized. ?¡ ?Tong??. Luoyang is very close to Tongguan. Yuan Fang led his flying army out of Hangu Pass in the west and arrived at Tongguan in less than an hour. At this moment, the 10,000 defenders of Tongguan, led by Ma Dai, were ready. Five thousand flying tigers descended slowly, and Yuan Fang also descended from the sky. "My lord, Ma Dai, pay homage to Your Majesty." Ma Dai came forward to see you. "Get back on your feet." Yuan Fang flicked his sleeves and helped Ma Dai up. "What's the situation with the rebels in the pass?" Ma Dai pointed to the west and said, "In the past few days, I have sent out scouts to monitor the situation closely. Monitoring the movements of the rebels, the scouts reported that since the rebels captured Chang'an a few days ago, they have been advancing eastwards and successively captured the three auxiliary counties. Now the front is thirty miles away, and there are about one hundred thousand in number. "Yuan Fang nodded slightly and asked: "Did those rebels harm the people in the counties?" "That's not true." Ma Dai shook his head and said, "I heard from the people who fled into Tongguan that those rebels, Instead of burning, killing and looting, they appointed new county magistrates and governors on the spot and collected grain and grass from the people for military use." After a pause, Ma Dai said again: "Moreover, I heard from the people that these rebels. The military discipline of the army is extremely strict, and no one committed any crime in the captured city. There was not a single incident of breaking into houses and robbing people. "A rebel army with strict military discipline? Yuan Fang¡¯s eyebrows narrowed slightly, and the faint speculation in his heart became a little heavier. Since ancient times, rebel leaders have often promised heavy rewards in order to boost their morale. By burning, killing, and looting after breaking the city, they lured the rebels to follow. And this rebel army under the banner of "Qin" not only did not do this, but did not harm the people at all. The strictness of military discipline seemed to exceed that of the Qi army! "How many rebels are there? Are you sure they are 100,000?" Yuan Fang asked again. Ma Dai nodded solemnly and said solemnly: "How dare I talk nonsense? These 100,000 people were estimated by multiple scouts. Moreover, the number of rebels has continued to increase in the past few days." Still increasing? "Even if all the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong rebelled, there would still be less than 100,000 people. How could there be 100,000 rebels? And they are still increasing?" Yuan Fang stood beside him. Jiang Wei also questioned. Ma Dai shrugged his shoulders and smiled wryly. "I will know how many rebels there are at a glance." Before he finished speaking. Yuan Fang took one step, and he was already using his non-offensive armor, and flew up to the nine heavens. Yuan Fang was suspended several thousand meters in the air, looking down toward the northwest of Tongguan, his super long-range vision in the true qi realm fully opened. His eyes traveled across dozens of kilometers and soon found the khaki-colored crowd. Yuan Fang immediately saw clearly the situation of the rebels. "As Jiang Wei described, these rebels are indeed eerie and strange, each one with a gray face and a gray face, buried deep in earth-colored armor. The rebels were densely packed and lined up neatly, forming hundreds of square formations. They were approaching Tongguan with a uniform pace like a machine. They were overwhelming, as dense as dark clouds, and numbered at least one hundred thousand. In the sky above the heads of the rebels, the flag with the word "Qin" was indeed dancing in a mighty manner. "Sure enough, there are hundreds of thousands of them, but the appearance of these rebels looks a bit familiar, as if I have seen them before somewhere?" Yuan Fang in the sky became more and more suspicious as he looked at them. He always felt that these earth-colored enemies were Where have I seen it. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. "Could it be that these soldiers and horses are actually" Yuan Fang's expression changed and he took a deep breath, seemingly shocked by his guess. Soon, Yuan Fang calmed down again and slowly descended from high altitude. "Your Majesty, what is the form of the rebels?" Ma Dai asked. Yuan Fang didn't say much, and waved his hand: "The enemy is approaching fiercely. We should not underestimate it. We are ordering the entire army to step up preparations for war. In addition, we are sending an order to the rear to let the large troops speed up their march." "Promise!" Above Tongguan, the horn sounded. When the sound was heard, all the troops guarding the pass were busy. " Guanzhong has been peaceful for many years. There has been no war for many years, and there is basically no banditry. Now that the war suddenly breaks out, these garrison guards who have been idle for many years will inevitably feel a little unprepared. Yuan Fang looked at the pass, at the other end of the horizon, at the overwhelming and approaching enemies, and his face was unconsciously cast by a shadow. ?¡ ?Two days later. Ma Chao, Pang De, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other generals led 80,000 cavalry and rushed to Tongguan day and night. The 100,000 enemy troops inside the pass seemed to have no fear and were not in a hurry to attack the pass. It was not until today that they approached the pass several miles in front. That morning, when it was just dawn, the reconnaissance scouts in the sky discovered that hundreds of thousands of enemy soldiers had formed up and were approaching Tongguan. With the sound of gongs in Guanzhong, thousands of soldiers quickly boarded the city and stood ready. The sun rises in the east, and metal stains the land in Guanzhong. Under the morning glow, Yuan Fang and his soldiers stood on the top of the city, looking far into the distance. I saw that on the Kansai Avenue covered with golden clouds, densely packed enemies, lined up in a square formation for more than ten miles, were approaching slowly with uniform steps. boom! boom! boom! The steps of the enemy soldiers were too neat and the rhythm was astonishingly consistent. One hundred thousand people stepped at the same time. Every step they took made the whole earth tremble, and even Tongguan was shaking slightly. "The discipline of the rebels is so strict?" Ma Chao couldn't help but wonder. Yuan Fang said coldly: "That's not a rebel at all." Not a rebel? Hearing the emperor's words, all the generals were filled with doubts and could not understand the meaning behind Yuan Fang's words. In a short time, one hundred thousand rebels were arrayed 300 steps outside the pass, silent and eerie. In the enemy formation, several war horses galloped out pulling a chariot and stopped a hundred steps in front of the pass. On top of the chariot, the majestic enemy general faced the city with his head raised, and shouted proudly: "Zhang Han, the pioneer of the Great Qin Empire, is here. Close the bandits and listen. If you switch to surrender, I will spare your death. Otherwise, I will kill you." You and this city will be razed to the ground!" (To be continued)
