Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me for corruption

Chapter 280 Cruelty should be his truest character!

"It's impossible...how can there be no food and grass?"

"Aries tribe, don't try to scare people. Our Nuoqiang tribe has all the grain, cattle and sheep we have stored for the winter, and they have been confiscated by you..."

"Yes, there are also the patriarch's family's grain, cattle and sheep. There are mountains and valleys. Isn't it enough to eat?!"

However, the Nuoqiang people did not believe what the guarding officer said. They just thought that he was annoyed to death, so they came to scare them, and they all retorted.

The guarding soldier was speechless for a long time after being refuted, but just when everyone in the Nuoqiang tribe thought that he had nothing to say because he had been exposed, his face gradually showed a look of sorrow like a rabbit dying of foxes, hating that iron cannot make steel: "I

I just can't figure it out... Where did you Nuoqiang tribe learn this arrogance? How dare you resist the Qin Heavenly Soldiers, attack the Hexi Kingdom's envoys, and even attack the Hexi King himself who persuades you with good words... I really think that

Can this matter be easily uncovered?"

"The lack of food and grass is just the reason for sending you to see the God of the Snow Mountain... You are the first wave, but you are definitely not the last wave... There are rumors in the army that in the future, those who dare to resist the Qin Heavenly Soldiers in the Western Regions will destroy the city.

Then all of them, men, women, old and young, will be slaughtered...until the last one who dares to resist is slaughtered~!"

After saying this, the guarding officer left a look of pity on his face and turned around to chat with his companions.

This time, the members of the Nuoqiang tribe were speechless. Everyone felt chills running down their spines as they listened. When they regained consciousness, there was an uncontrollable panic that spread like a plague.

The camp where the Nuoqiang tribesmen were imprisoned was very large. After all, there were nearly 50,000 tribesmen. However, panic rumors that they were about to be massacred spread throughout the prisoner camp in less than a quarter of an hour.

And the Nuoqiang tribe is convinced of this!

As mentioned before, attacking other people's envoys is a completely disgraceful and unrelenting move in the eyes of the Qiang people.

Under the arrogance and arrogance of the Nuoqiang tribe, in order to show their loyalty to the King of Loulan and hope to be fully integrated into the Loulan Kingdom in the future, they did such a self-destructive thing.

Moreover, they went even further. They not only attacked the envoy, but also attacked the king of Hexi who personally persuaded them.

At that time, his words were sincere and sincere, as if he were trying to comfort his own people. What kind of benevolent monarch was that?

But will a benevolent monarch massacre a city?

The answer is, yes!

Because all the Qiang people know that it was actually the murderous prime minister of the Qin Dynasty who destroyed the Xiongnu and the Yuezhi a few years ago, and the military meritorious minister of the Qin Dynasty who was able to stop children from crying at night...

It is undoubtedly ridiculous to think of him as too kind!

Cruelty should be his truest character!

If you don't accept his kindness, you will have to face his cruelty!

"Haha, it's all that damn Kang Renbaoyun's fault. He was cut in half and tortured to death by the Qin people. He really deserved it... It's good for Loulan. I have to risk the survival of the whole clan to ask King Loulan for favors... wu wu wu..."

A woman was angrily cursing the leader of the Nuoqiang tribe who had already been beheaded and executed, venting her fear of death, but at the end of the scolding, she was holding her poor child and crying loudly.

At this point, panic has turned into despair!

But there are those who are desperate, and there are those who are unwilling to sit back and wait for death. Some young and strong men and women who are self-possessed and have some courage spontaneously come to the outskirts of the prisoner camp. Amidst the desperate cries and howls of their fellow tribesmen, they quietly observe outside the camp like wolves. Those who may

Guardsmen standing guard or patrolling.

In fact, ninety-nine percent of the soldiers guarding the area were Qiang auxiliary troops. Occasionally, a group or a group of real Qin troops on horseback would come to inspect the post, take a look around, and then leave again.

Although the Qiang auxiliary army received several days of intensive training and ideological education on military law during the march, it is obviously impossible to say how disciplined they are.

Therefore, when the real Qin army came to inspect the posts, the Qiang auxiliary troops all acted as if they were loyal to their duties. But as soon as the real Qin army left, they leaned against the campfire to keep warm, intentionally or unintentionally, leaving a big loophole for guarding...

…

Bang——

Two guard soldiers standing guard were warming themselves by the campfire with their backs to the prisoner camp, when the muffled sound of heavy objects falling to the ground suddenly sounded behind them.

The two of them turned around to check in confusion, and then jumped three feet high in an exaggerated manner, shouting: "The damned death row prisoner of Nuqiang has escaped~!"

The section of fence and wall that they were supposed to be guarding had unexpectedly climbed over a hundred strong young people, and they were scurrying away into the distant night.

And the muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was made when a young man climbed over a high fence. Because his hands and feet were not very flexible, he accidentally fell to the ground...

"There are also escapees in the north, come to support quickly!"

"Anyone who dares to escape will be shot to death~!"

"Kill them all, leaving no one alive..."

From all sides of the prisoner camp, the roars of the guards could be heard. It was obvious that there were Nu Qiang prisoners on all sides who wanted to escape.

The patrolling Qiang auxiliary troops heard the roar and rushed to support from all directions. They intercepted some of the Nu Qiang prisoners who had escaped from the camp, and then quickly surrounded the prison camp and brought the situation under control.

As for those Nuqiang prisoners who were lucky enough to escape the interception and disappear into the night, groups of cavalry would come out to chase and kill them in a pretentious manner, driving them in the right direction to escape...

Liu Ji looked at the cavalry going away, couldn't help but tugged on his beard and laughed, then waved to the gang leader carrying food beside him, and the group went directly into the prisoner camp.

The desperate Nuoqiang tribesmen retreated when they saw the Qin army coming in.

Liu Ji grinned, revealing a mouth full of big white teeth, which actually shone under the light of the bonfire.

When the members of the Nuoqiang tribe saw him smiling so sinisterly, they thought he was going to eat people, and immediately wanted to retreat further.

Liu Ji probably didn't expect that his kind smile would actually have the opposite effect, so he straightened his face and said cheerfully: "Don't worry, those who say they want to massacre you are all rumors. There is no such thing at all, little brats."

It’s just spreading nonsense.”

"Nai Weng is here to bring you food!"

As he said this, he waved to the gang leaders behind him who were carrying food.

The gang leaders understood and immediately opened the lids of the oversized wooden barrels, revealing the steaming hot spicy soup and horse meat buns inside.

As soon as the night breeze blows, the fragrance suddenly spreads, making you greedy!

The Nuoqiang tribe was stunned. As they subconsciously swallowed their saliva, the panic and despair in their hearts was immediately reduced by half.

There was someone who had not cried when he was desperate before, but now he burst into tears of joy. While crying, he complained: "God damn Aries boy, how can you scare people like that..."

But there are also people who are suspicious by nature, looking at the buckets of delicious food, shaking their heads and whispering: "Do you want to poison us? I will never eat it!"

But his words immediately attracted the silent rolls of his eyes from his fellow tribesmen nearby, or the contemptuous looks of caring for the mentally retarded.

Even if the Qin army wants to kill him with poison, do you have any room to resist?

Don't want to eat?

Then get a knife!

You choose, enjoy delicious food before dying and be a well-fed ghost...or go hungry and be quartered with knives!

"However, if you want to eat, there is a condition. Nai Weng will let you scream loudly... If the one screams not hard enough, he will be whipped... If the other one screams hard enough, Nai Weng will let him open his belly and eat as much as he wants. ~!"

Liu Ji ignored the whispers of the Nu Qiang tribesmen and just kept to himself and shouted loudly.

The Nu Qiang people were all confused again, what kind of trick is this?

Could it be that this Qin general has some weird xp?

When Liu Ji saw that he had finished speaking, but there were no screams from the Nuoqiang tribe, he couldn't help frowning, pulled out the riding whip inserted in the armor leather belt, and waved it fiercely.

Snapped--

The loud sound of the whip resounded through the night sky, frightening the stunned Nuoqiang tribesmen around them, and they all trembled.

Liu Ji took advantage of the situation and shouted angrily: "Scream loudly to Nai Weng...otherwise, the whip will fall on you~!"

The Nu Qiang tribe looked at each other in disbelief, but they no longer dared to neglect, and they all started wailing at the top of their lungs to satisfy the strange xp of this Qin general.

Liu Ji then nodded with satisfaction and asked the guards to disperse one by one to urge the Nu Qiang tribesmen in various parts of the camp to also build up the momentum.

Leaning slightly, it was like a pot was exploding in the camp, and the wails soared into the sky.

Amidst the wailing, the gang leader army began to distribute meals. As Liu Ji said, those who screamed loudly would be given to those who screamed first, so that they would be fed.

Finally eating the legendary Qin people's delicacies, the Nuoqiang tribe was more or less unable to scream, which made Liu Ji and his guards have to whip their whips all over the camp: "Pah... you are a coward, please be serious. If you eat slowly, you will starve to death..."

…

…

At the same time, those Qingzhuang soldiers who had escaped from the camp by chance and were chased and intercepted by the Qin army's cavalry could not help but feel even more terrified like a bereaved dog when they heard the howls and screams that gathered in the direction of the camp behind them.

They knew in their hearts that the prisoners must have escaped, which made the Qin army lose their patience and launched a bloody massacre in advance of the remaining compatriots and their relatives who could not escape.

From now on, they are the real lost dogs!

That's not right either... It is still unknown whether we can escape the pursuit of the Qin army's cavalry tonight!

Fortunately, the God of the Snow Mountain seems to be protecting them tonight, not only protecting them from the prisoner camp, but also protecting them from being chased by the Qin army's cavalry in the dark.

At dawn the next day, they were tired and hungry after escaping all night, and they were lucky enough to encounter reinforcements from the Loulan Kingdom!

Yesterday when Qin Mo persuaded him to surrender, the leader of the cross and Qiang tribe said that Loulan's reinforcements would arrive in less than two days. That was not a lie.

The army of more than 100,000 people led by Qin Mo was almost entirely infantry. The march was slow and there was no room for hiding, so the leader of the Nuoqiang tribe had already detected it.

The King of Loulan received a call for help from the Nuqiang cavalry, saying that the lord of the Hexi Kingdom and the Prime Minister of Great Qin personally led hundreds of thousands of troops to kill them from the plateau. They had already sent out troops, and sent all the remaining troops originally used to chase Meng Tian's troops. Come on... If we go by the marching speed of the army, we will indeed arrive at Nuqiang City in two days!

After the identities of the escaped prisoners of the Nuqiang were strictly identified, they were received by a group of generals from the reinforcements and asked about the affairs of the city of Nuqiang in detail.

After the generals of the reinforcements saw these embarrassed Nuoqiang escaped prisoners, they already had expectations in their hearts, and they probably guessed that the city of Nuoqiang must have been breached by the Qin army.

But what shocked them was that Nuqiang City was actually captured by the Qin army within half an hour.

Moreover, after a long march and without preparing any siege equipment, they defeated the city of Nuqiang in one fell swoop.

The terrifying power of the firearms described by the escaped prisoners of Nuoqiang shocked them even more.

They did not suspect that the escaped Nuoqiang prisoners were exaggerating. After all, the envoys from the Western Regions had witnessed the power of the Qin army's long-range firearms when they sent envoys to Da Qin to participate in the military parade. They were very different from the descriptions given by the escaped Nuoqiang prisoners...

However, what frightened all the reinforcement generals the most was the massacre of the Nu Qiang tribe by the Qin army!

Just because they refused to surrender, they massacred the entire city, regardless of gender, age or child. This was very overbearing and disrespectful to Qin, and it gave all the generals a bad feeling!

The reinforcement general issued an order to suspend the march because the city of Nuoqiang had been lost. To engage in head-to-head combat with the Qin army equipped with long-range firearms in the wild was tantamount to seeking death.

However, suspending the march does not mean that there is no action. The Loulan reinforcements sent a large number of sentries to explore in the direction of Nuqiang City.

By noon, scattered and embarrassed sentries returned one after another, reporting the limited information they risked their lives to investigate: "The Qin army's sentries are too fierce, equipped with firearms, and elusive. They can always discover us first and will

We surrounded and killed, but none of our companions could escape... The Nuqiang tribe was really slaughtered, and the bones formed a mountain outside the city of Nuqiang, covered with vultures pecking at the blood... vomit~!"

"Is this all you find out?"

"Only, only these, the Qin army's sentries and cavalry are really..."

"Okay, go back and recuperate, and don't reveal anything about the Nuoqiang tribe!"

"I know, humble~!"

The blockade and massacre of the Nu Qiang tribe was the consensus of all the reinforcement generals, but it was unrealistic for this improvised and motley army to enforce the order and prohibition.

As more and more sentries returned, the news that the Nu Qiang tribe refused to surrender to the Qin army and was captured in half an hour and the entire clan was massacred spread uncontrollably among the army.

Moreover, the rumors became more and more outrageous. The strength and cruelty of the Qin army made Wen change his color!

In the evening, when the reinforcement generals were discussing whether to withdraw their troops and defend the city in the rear, deserters appeared in the camp.

Lots of deserters!

This made the reinforcement generals angry and helpless. The deserters they caught the next day were executed in public as a warning. Then they boosted morale and continued to march!

In fact, most of the so-called deserters are not really afraid of death. There are not so many cowards in places like the Western Regions where countries are conquering.

The soldiers chose to be deserters because they just wanted to go home and take their wives, children, and children with them. They ran far away. It would be best to escape to the powerful Daxia... Otherwise, wherever the Qin army passed, the stubborn resisters would be slaughtered. How could their wives, children, children, and children be blamed?

Considering the mentality of the soldiers, if the troops are withdrawn, it will inevitably lead to more serious desertions, or even the entire army will collapse without a fight.

And continuing to march to find a strong terrain to block the Qin army from advancing into Loulan territory will undoubtedly arouse the enthusiasm of the soldiers and even their determination to die.

Because they are no longer fighting for an illusory king!

Instead, he fights for his wife, children, and children behind him!

…

…

"My lord, it seems that Loulan's reinforcements are not frightened. Should we really kill all these reinforcements and shock the entire Western Region?"

In Nuqiang City, the generals were discussing matters, and Liu Ji said with a fierce light in his eyes.

Qin Mo shook his head and said with a smile: "If we really slaughtered them all, who is going to spread panic? This method of massacre and intimidation is just a method, don't take it seriously... Besides, if you slaughter all the young and strong laborers, Your Majesty will definitely kill them all."

You throw me into hard labor as compensation~!"
