Chapter 1029: Defeat foreign enemies first

After hearing this, the Nanman King touched his chin and pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Well, I will do as you said, tell Wu Tu and let him go to the Qin camp."

"Yes." The barbarian general took the order and left.

After they left, the Barbarian King sat back on the big chair, hugged the waists of the two girls again, stared at one of them and smiled evilly: "Why, are you happy to hear that the Qin Army is coming?"

"No, no..." The woman's face turned pale with fright, her eyes were red and full of tears.

"Hmph!" The Nanman King sneered, "So what about King Qin! Do you really think I'm afraid of him?"

Under Nanman's arrangement, Wu Tu, who was in charge of diplomacy, rushed to the Qin army's camp the next morning.

At this time, Yan Qi was discussing the battle plan with the generals in the tent. After listening to the soldiers' report, he thought for a while and then said: "Bring him over."

"No!" The soldier clasped his fists and retreated.

Not long after, Wu Tu was brought over.

Seeing this southern barbarian, the generals of the Qin army were lined up on the left and right, but they all had bad expressions and looked fierce, as if they might draw their swords at any time.

The latter looked around for a week, and when he saw this, he laughed dryly, then stepped forward and bowed deeply to Yan Qi, who was in command: "I am in Wutu, and I have met General Yan Qi."

Since he is specifically responsible for diplomacy, he naturally understands the etiquette of the Central Plains.

Yan Qi waved his hand: "Messengers don't need to be polite. If you have anything to say, just get straight to the point."

"This..." Wu Tu hesitated for a moment, put on a smile and said: "This is the general. I am here to make peace with the general on the orders of my king."

"Make peace?" Yan Qi raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." Wu Tu said: "There is absolutely no need for your army and ours to conflict. For your country, the most important thing is to eliminate the Chu Kingdom, and we will not interfere in the dispute between Qin and Chu.

We can even help the general if necessary. It will be in the interests of both armies if we don't interfere with each other. If they turn against each other, both sides will undoubtedly suffer losses. At that time, the Chu Kingdom will be fulfilled."

After hearing this, Yan Qi sneered: "You mean, our Qin army is letting the Southern Barbarians enter the country without any care?"

"The general's words are wrong." Wu Tu said: "We entered Nanping Pass this time because we were invited by the King of Chu. We had no intention of violating the territory. Moreover, you captured Chu State and we occupied some places in the south. We will not interfere with each other.

Well."

"Don't interfere with each other?" Yan Qi laughed angrily and said with a very cold face: "How many people have you massacred and how many girls have you kidnapped! Is this what humans do! How dare you speak so shamelessly here! If it weren't for my Central Plains Etiquette

If you don’t kill the envoys of our country, how can you survive?”

"This, this." Wu Tu was anxious and wanted to persuade him again: "General..."

But Yan Qi glared fiercely: "Get out!"

"But this..." Wu Tu still had a lot of words he had thought of but didn't say.

But before he could say anything else, all the Qin generals pressed their hands on the hilts of their swords at their waists. Someone immediately said, "Commander Yan, why bother talking to this man? Just cut off the sacrificial flag!"

As he spoke, he drew the knife.

Upon seeing this, Wu Tu screamed in fright, hurriedly took a few steps back, waved his hands repeatedly and said: "General, calm down, general, calm down. Since you don't want to listen, just leave, just leave..."

While talking, he dared not stop.

"Hmph!" Qin put his sword back into its sheath, still angrily: "You little Nanman thief, how despicable you are! After this battle, I will report to the king and ask for troops to conquer the barbarian land!"

"General Wu said well! When the time comes, if your Majesty agrees, I will fight as a vanguard with you!" Another general immediately agreed.

"Okay." Yan Qi raised his hand, "Let's continue discussing the war."

The Qin army must push back the southern barbarians first. Otherwise, once they leave, they will inevitably go north and penetrate deep into the Central Plains. Who knows how much trouble they will cause.

Wu Tu's negotiations had no effect and he almost lost his life. After he returned to Jiaoyang, he reported the details to the King of Nanman. After hearing this, the latter became angry and said: "The Qin army has gone too far! What about the King of Qin?"

!I really thought I was afraid of him!"

He said this, but he did not dare to open the city to meet the enemy easily. Instead, he ordered several barbarian generals and said: "Guard Jiaoyang for me. If the Qin army comes to attack, just push them back!"

"Yes!" All the barbarian generals responded in unison.

A few days later, the Qin army's baggage troops arrived.

Yan Qi immediately ordered the first round of strong attack on Jiaoyang City.

Tens of thousands of troops came to the city.

Arranged into several neat square arrays.

There are halberds standing in the forest and flags flying.

The messengers rode their horses back and forth between the various square formations.

One after another, trebuchets and city-breaking crossbows were slowly pushed to the front of the formation.

Seeing the overwhelming black armor and red tassels, the military appearance was so vigorous, many barbarian soldiers subconsciously swallowed their saliva.

The Nanman King, who was in the center of the city, also took a deep breath and said coldly: "It seems that the Qin army must fight with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, changes occurred outside the city.

When the Qin general shouted, there was a sound of armor clashing. Several rows of Qin soldiers moved in unison. They had already cocked their bows and loaded their arrows. They drew their bows to full length and pointed diagonally upward.

"Fire the arrow——"

The flag was waved, and with a buzzing sound, thousands of arrows left the strings and shot out with great force.

The dense arrows gathered into a long black curtain, rushing upwards, and sweeping down like black clouds pressing down on the city!

Plop, plop!

In an instant, the sound of arrows piercing flesh became one, mixed with one after another miserable howls.

Because it was the first time to fight the Qin army, the barbarian army at the gate of the city fell instantly before they could react. Countless people were nailed into hedgehogs, and some arrows were nailed to the arrow stacks with their tails still there.

Trembling wildly, some shot through the doors and windows, breaking the tiles, and the crackling sound never stopped.

Under the terrifying array of arrows, there was still a person standing somewhere on the city gate.

The Southern Barbarian King, under the protection of several barbarian generals, had already fled with his head in his arms.

He hid in the corner, looked at the corpses on the ground and the densely packed eagle feathers, and couldn't help but screamed: "Is this the Qin Army's arrow formation? Is this the Qin Army's arrow formation?"

"King, this place is dangerous. It's better to get down quickly." A barbarian general supported him and said.

"Hurry! Hurry and defend! The Qin army is about to attack the city!" The Nanman King shouted in a hissing voice.

Other barbarian troops began to rush to various parts of the city defense, and some were in groups of two, quickly dragging down the wounded and corpses.

On the Qin army's side, after a round of arrow formation, the military order was issued again, and the oil jar was filled.

"put!"

At the command, the sound of mechanical vibrations was heard one after another, and the oil jars were thrown through arcs from the air and hit various places in the city gates in disorder.

Amidst the bursts of explosions, firelight splashed everywhere, mixed with mournful howls.

Yan Qi also unsheathed his sword: "Attack the city——"

"Kill--"

The officers and soldiers of the Qin army shouted loudly, stepped back, and charged towards Jiaoyang City.

Amidst the rain of arrows, ladders were quickly erected all over the city wall. The soldiers of the Qin army marched forward bravely to attack the foreign tribes of the Southern Barbarians. Their morale was even higher than when they attacked Chu.
