Qin Dynasty snare people

At the end of April, General Xiang Yan died of illness in the military camp, and his eldest son took over his post. However, the decline of the Chu army could no longer be stopped. Especially in the face of the artillery bombardment of the Qin army, the Chu army was simply unable to resist, and even Even the machine beasts supported by the Mohists could not withstand two rounds of artillery bombings, and they were defeated like a mountain.

Soon it was early May, and the Qin army no longer fought steadily and began to launch a full-scale general attack on the Chu army.

The flames of war swept directly across the southeastern border of Chu State and gradually gathered towards the city where Lord Changping was located.

…

In the empty hall.

Lord Changping was wearing royal robes and a crown, looking calmly at the throne representing the King of Chu in front of him, silent. Ever since he learned that Xiang Yan died of illness and the Tenglong Army was destroyed, he knew that the sky of the Chu Kingdom had completely collapsed. There is no way back.

"Father, the Kingdom of Chu you mentioned eventually perished in the hands of my son. I tried my best..."

Lord Changping murmured to himself in a low voice, and a scene from his childhood seemed to appear in his eyes. His father was holding him, looking at the direction of the Chu Kingdom, telling everything about his motherland, and the nobility of the royal bloodline...

He wrote it down at that time and remembered it very carefully.

Because not long after, his father abandoned him and his mother, returned to Chu State and became the king of Chu State, and this memory became the only memory he had of his father.

As he grew up, Lord Changping gradually understood his father and at the same time understood his responsibilities.

Of course, there is also his ambition and unwillingness.

As a direct descendant of the royal family of the Chu Kingdom, why should he become a minister in the Qin Kingdom and kneel down and salute others? He should have become the prince and king of the Chu Kingdom.

"Your Majesty."

At the entrance of the main hall, a pale woman walked in with a baby girl in her arms. Her beautiful eyes showed a bit of worry and weakness. She looked at Lord Changping standing in the main hall and shouted softly.

The memories in Mr. Changping's eyes slowly converged, and all his worries were suppressed. He turned around slowly, his expression had become gentle, and he did not show any vulnerability in front of his woman. He smiled slightly and said: "Why are you here? I just finished sitting down." During the confinement period, your body has not been well taken care of yet, so it’s time to rest.”

Lord Changping had no feelings for the woman in front of him, and he only married her to secure his throne. However, he had never revealed this in front of a woman, and he would always wear a mask to treat different people.

Even the people around you are like this.

The woman said in a soft voice: "I heard that the king has not eaten for three days, and I was a little worried, so I specially ordered someone to prepare some meals. I hope that the king will take your health first."

She is Jing Yuan, the daughter of the Jing family. She is only sixteen years old. Due to the premature birth of the child, her body is extremely weak, and her confinement period is much longer than ordinary people.

"I've made my concubine worried, so I'll eat it now."

Changping Jun smiled, walked over, supported the other party, and looked at the little daughter in her arms with some love and some worry.

"Is it because the war on the front line is tight? Your Majesty is worried about state affairs, and you must not forget about your health."

"It doesn't matter."

Lord Changping shook his head and comforted softly.

Jing Yuan nodded and didn't ask any more questions. The harem was not allowed to be involved in politics, so she focused on her daughter in her arms. Due to premature birth, her daughter Mi Xin's health has always been in poor condition. Even if she is one month old, she is still young. His pity made Jing Yuan extremely worried, fearing that his daughter would die in infancy.

Lord Changping also knew about this, but he had no time to worry about his daughter at the moment, because the Chu Kingdom would be gone, and what future would they have.

"My beloved, please dine with me."

Chang Pingjun said softly.

Jing Yuan nodded and ate with Mr. Chang Ping.

Halfway through the meal, Chang Pingjun suddenly said: "I want to send my concubine to cultivate elsewhere. What does my concubine think?"

"Your Majesty..."

Jing Yuan looked at Mr. Changping in surprise, obviously not expecting Mr. Changping to say that.

Lord Changping continued: "Since my concubine knows that the war on the frontline is tense, and I don't hide it from my concubine, the current situation in Chu State is indeed not good, and this place... will not be safe."

"In this case, your Majesty will be with us..."

Jing Yuan said quickly.

Lord Changping interrupted directly: "I am the king of Chu. Everyone can escape, but I cannot escape, and...I have already escaped far enough, and I don't want to escape anymore."

There was something he didn't say.

If he really wanted to die, he wanted to die in Chu State's territory, not in another country.

What's more, where can he escape? King Qin Yingzheng will not let him go. If he escapes, Jing Yuan and others will have no chance of survival.

Lord Changping even knew that there were many spies from Luowang, Dongchang, and Shadow Guard in the city. They were all watching him and would not give him a chance to escape.

The tears in Jing Yuan's eyes couldn't stop flowing down. Although she was young, she could tell that Lord Changping meant to explain the funeral arrangements.

Changping Jun reached out and took Jing Yuan's cold palm, squeezed it, and said slowly: "There is no need for this. I am very satisfied to be your husband and wife for a year. I will live well, for Mi Xin, and for Mi Xin also has a sister from the royal family of the Chu Kingdom. Her name is Mi Lian. In the Qin State, I don’t know if they still have a chance to recognize each other. If so, give this thing to her and say I am sorry as a father. she."

With that said, Chang Pingjun handed a brocade box to Jing Yuan.

The words fell.

Lord Changping ignored Jing Yuan and stood up slowly. Wang Mian's beads were hanging down. His expression became more majestic and he said in a deep voice, "Ji Bu."

"brush."

A figure emerged from the darkness like a ghost, kneeling on one knee in front of Changping-kun.

"This is the last task I will give you, protect them."

"The last general takes command!"

Ji Bu raised his handsome face and said with extremely determined eyes. At the same time, he clenched the long sword in his hand. He understood what this meant.

. . . . . . . . .

"Boom boom boom~"

The power of the artillery is really shocking. I don’t know how the old thing Gongshuqiu developed it. He directly upgraded the artillery into a covering bombing machine, and even equipped it with split-type artillery shells. In pursuit of maximizing the lethality, it even matched it with Incendiary bombs, one shot will directly turn the area more than ten meters into a sea of ​​​​fire, which is simply inhumane.

At this moment, the war between Qin and Chu has come to an end, and only Xiang Yan's eldest son is left leading hundreds of thousands of troops to fight to the death.

Luo Yan has arrived at the battlefield at this moment. He planned to accompany Yan Lingji to find her hometown. However, the Chu army was defeated too quickly. Xiang Yan also died of illness suddenly, which made the Chu army's situation deteriorate rapidly. Now the war situation has shown a one-sided trend. In this regard, he could only give up the idea of ​​continuing to travel to the mountains and rivers, and came to Wang Jian's side, trying to see Changping Jun for the last time.

A big brother is called a big brother, and a big brother is a lifelong brother. After all, he has to see each other off for the last time.

Luo Yan's life in the Jianghu is all about loyalty.

"The power of the artillery is really good."

Luo Yan used his binoculars to admire the scene of explosions in the distance, then glanced at the dark artillery not far away and chuckled.

Over the years, I have invested a lot of money and planning in Gongshuqiu, and the results are obviously very satisfactory. The craftsmen and craftsmen these days are very good. What is missing is the direction and inspiration of research and development. Luo Yan will undoubtedly help them A lot of detours have been avoided. In addition, Gongshuqiu is a war element pursuing destructive power. The artillery is naturally as powerful as it is.

All this creates the scene before us.

Wang Jian stood beside Luo Yan, looking at the hell on earth caused by the artillery in the distance, and sighed: "It is indeed strong, enough to change the direction of a war."

The artillery really played a big role in making the battle between Qin and Chu go so smoothly this time.

Every time the Chu army launched an attack, they first bombed for more than ten rounds to destroy the opponent's formation, and then covered it with several rounds of crossbows. After that, it was a harvest situation. It can be seen from the speed of the Chu army's defeat that such sharp weapons Enough to change future wars.

Thinking of this, Wang Jian couldn't help but look at Luo Yan beside him, and asked: "Marquis Yueyang, I wonder if this thing can be shrunk?"

"Of course it can, and the finished product is already available. Unfortunately, it is too difficult to manufacture and it will be difficult to popularize it. However, it should not be a problem to build a special army of several thousand people."

Luo Yan nodded, took out a musket from his arms, then half-squinted his eyes, pointed it at a Chu soldier in the distance, and slowly pulled the trigger. With a soft sound, the Chu soldier in the distance The soldier was directly shot in the head... not the one Luo Yan was aiming at, but an unlucky guy who missed the target by more than ten meters.

The accuracy is so bad... Luo Yan commented in his heart, not feeling that the target he chose was too far away.

Wang Jian naturally didn't know this. When he saw a Chu soldier in the distance being shot in the head, his eyes suddenly focused and he said in a deep voice: "Can I shoot continuously?"

"Of course you can, but this thing doesn't have crossbows for the time being. We have to let Gong Shuqiu improve it."

Luo Yan fired two more shots, then felt bored, handed the object to Wang Jian, and said softly.

The power of this thing can only be said to be average, not even as efficient as Luo Yan's sword energy, let alone the hidden weapon projected by the internal power. In this world with martial arts, unless the gunpowder is raised to another level, it will be really difficult to defeat the top. Masters create lethality.

Of course, for ordinary masters, this thing is still very intimidating.

After all, Luo Yan's vision was getting higher and higher. He came into contact with people who were in the top 50 martial arts in the world, so he naturally felt that the power of muskets was average.

"With such sharp weapons, there will be no obstacle to Qin's unification of the world."

Xinghun appeared behind the two of them at some unknown time, with half-squinted evil eyes, and said faintly. The purple-blue servant was indescribably elegant and strange, with one hand behind his back, and there was an unusual aura about it. Aura.

Luo Yan looked sideways at Xinghun, nodded, and said with a smile, "I have worked hard for you for more than a year."

"Hard work? I think it's quite interesting."

Xinghun walked up to Luo Yan, his slightly pale face showing some morbid joy, and chuckled. Obviously, for him, the past year or so has not been hard, but it has been very interesting.

Forgot, you are a son of the Yin Yang family... Luo Yan murmured in his heart, with a smile on his face. He shook his head and looked at the battlefield. Meng Tian and Wang Li had already led their troops to kill from both sides. The final massacre begins.

"it's over."

Wang Jian watched for a while, sighed, then turned and left. There was no need to continue watching this battle.

The overall situation has been decided.

Xinghun and Luo Yan did not leave, and continued to stand on the hillside watching the war in front of them.

"Aren't you going to take Marquis Yueyang's musket?"

Xinghun glanced at the musket taken away by Wang Jian and chuckled.

Luo Yan said nonchalantly: "The general likes it, so just give it to him. It's just a plaything."

Things like muskets lose their meaning once the novelty wears off.

With a smile on his face, Xinghun looked at the battlefield in the distance and said calmly: "The Chu State is about to be destroyed, and the remaining Qi State and Yan State are just meat on the lips of Qin State, which can be taken at any time. Qin State will dominate the world. The great cause is about to be completed, how does Marquis Yue Yang plan to treat the Yin Yang family in the future?"

The sound of fighting could be heard in the distance and the smoke was billowing, but now, the two of them were talking about the future.

"Have you already made your choice?"

Luo Yan looked at Xinghun and asked instead of answering. Xinghun asked him these questions at the moment, and the meaning was self-evident.

Xinghun was noncommittal, with his signature evil smile still hanging on his lips. He looked like a slender child, but his aura was so strong that it was impossible to ignore him, let alone regard him as a teenager.

"Actually, your choice is not important. I never believe in agreements. I only believe in interests. Star Soul, you might as well think about what you want, so that we can continue to cooperate."

Luo Yan talked eloquently and looked calm.

"I want to know the truth, the truth about Canglong Qisu, the truth about this world, I am very curious about these."

Xinghun slowly turned his head to look at Luo Yan, the smile on his lips became a little thicker, his eyes exuded strong interest, a little crazy and morbid, and he said faintly.

"I'm also very curious, so we should be on the same road. Besides, I'm also very interested in immortality."

Luo Yan said with a smile.

As for what he was thinking, only he knew.

Xinghun nodded and said nothing more. There was no need to make any agreement. Some things could only be decided on a wait-and-see basis. He was no longer the Gan Luo he had been. He was no longer naive.

…

Xiang Yan's eldest son fought with the Qin army for two days and one night in the south of Qi County. In the end, the entire army was wiped out and defeated. After hearing the news, Changping Lord committed suicide on the city gate in the early morning of the next day. He did not give Luo Yan a chance to humiliate him. , even if Luo Yan doesn't have this idea.

He died very bravely and had no intention of pretending to die.

People from Dongchang, Shadow Guard, and Luowen were all staring at him. He had no chance to fake his death even if he wanted to.

Luo Yan was speechless after hearing the news.

To be honest, he really didn't mean to humiliate Lord Changping.

Luo Yan pondered for a moment, looked at Mo Ya, and said calmly: "Go and say it, there is no need to kill orphans and widows, and they are not sons."

Lord Changping is just like in the original work. He has a daughter, Mi Xin, who is just one month old. Now they are being hunted by the three evil forces of Qin. If Luo Yan doesn't explain, he may not be able to escape.

If it's a son, that's it, a little baby girl, Luo Yan can't bear it.

"promise."

Mo Crow cupped his hands and responded.

After Mo Ya left, Luo Yan looked at the back room and chuckled: "Why are you here?"

After the words fell, the light blue inner energy floated in front of his eyes. The next moment, the Moon Goddess in a palace dress emerged from the shadows. She was still so cool and graceful, elegant and mysterious, like a fairy who did not eat the fireworks of the world. It's just different from the past, this time the moon god is holding a mysterious copper box in his hand.

The bright golden color is extremely delicate, with mysterious lines and astrology representing the Canglong Qisu.

There is no doubt as to what this thing is.
