Chapter 898: The morale of the team is scattered and it is difficult to lead the team

"Generals, Qianyuan City is the gateway to the south of our Great Qian. We must not lose it. As soldiers, we should put the country first and the people first."

"As long as we are still alive, we will never let the Yellow Turban bandits set foot into Qianyuan City!"

Nangong Tianxia looked at them, with a barely perceptible flash of sadness in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up with words of encouragement.

The people at the table felt even more distressed when they heard Nangong Tianxia's words. They knew that Nangong Tianxia had decided to sacrifice his life for his country and defend this isolated city with his own lives.

But they chose to betray and to survive. This contrast made them feel extremely guilty and sad.

After finishing the report, they forced a bitter smile on their faces and said goodbye to Nangong Tianxia.

Nangong Tianxia looked at them, with a complicated look in his eyes. He seemed to have noticed something, but did not say it out loud.

"Generals, you have worked hard. Go back and rest. We will continue patrolling tomorrow. Please be careful."

Nangong Tianxia said softly, his tone full of concern.

A few people nodded, turned around and walked out of the Marshal's Mansion. The night breeze blew on their faces, bringing a hint of coolness, as if it was nature's silent condemnation of them.

They looked at each other, with a bitter smile flashing in their eyes, which was a kind of self-mockery at the choice they were about to make.

"Is there really nothing we can do?"

General Zhang asked in a low voice, with a slight tremor in his voice.

"We have no way out. For the people standing behind us, for... survival."

General Li shook his head, his eyes looking somewhat sad.

They returned to their camp silently. Along the way, they didn't say anything, just walked silently. Every step was like walking on the edge of a knife, heart-wrenching.

Inside the camp, the soldiers were either asleep or talking in low voices. They simply greeted them upon their return, and no one noticed anything unusual.

Back in the tent, several generals sat together, the atmosphere was so heavy that it was almost suffocating.

They began to plan in detail every detail of the uprising, every possible difficulty they might encounter, and how to deal with it.

"Are we really going to do this?"

A young general suddenly spoke with tears in his eyes. He was the last to join this "betrayal" plan, and the struggle and pain in his heart were stronger than anyone else.

"We have no choice!"

General Zhang glanced at him, a hint of pain flashed across his eyes, but was immediately replaced by determination.

At this point, they had no way out and could only grit their teeth, bury the pain and guilt deep in their hearts, and then quietly prepare for the uprising.

As the night deepened, the candlelight in the house flickered, as if it would go out at any time.

At the same time, Nangong Tianxia stood alone on the city wall, looking at the sky outside the city covered by the smoke of war, and an inexplicable sadness surged in his heart. He had already noticed the strangeness of those generals and roughly understood their ulterior motives.

But he did not blame them. In his eyes, everyone under his command, Nangong Tianxia, ​​should have the right to choose between life and death.

He had already decided to sacrifice his life for his country, but he did not want to drag all the Daqian soldiers in Qianyuan City to die with him.

“Perhaps, this is my fate.”

Nangong Tianxia whispered to himself, with a complex look in his eyes.

He did not blame them. On the contrary, he was willing to give them the opportunity to make their own choices for their families and for survival.

"As long as you can survive, Qianyuan City's sacrifice will be meaningful."

He whispered to himself, a gentle smile flashed in his eyes.

Even though he was about to become a martyr of this isolated city, he hoped that his subordinates could survive!
As the night deepened, Qianyuan City fell into silence, with only the occasional sound of patrolling footsteps breaking the tranquility.

At the same time, while Si Yan and others were eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Yanzhou army to suppress the rebellion, the western part of Yanzhou was in turmoil; the drums of war had not yet sounded, but the desire to fight was already strong.

At the border of Xiling and the Daqian Dynasty, a dark cloud of iron cavalry surged on the skyline. It was the army of the Great Qin Dynasty. They were clad in black armor and flying black dragon flags, and were marching rapidly towards Yanzhou like a tide.

The army of the Great Qin Dynasty was full of vigor and had a well-ordered appearance. At first glance, one could see their black armor flashing with cold light, like a moving torrent of steel.

The Qin Dynasty was famous for its strict discipline, outstanding individual soldier quality and powerful weapons and equipment, which were fully demonstrated at this moment.

At this moment, this army was like a giant black dragon, winding across the vast land. Wherever it passed, dust flew up, and it was majestic.

The sunlight shines on the shining pieces of armor, reflecting a dazzling light, as if heavenly soldiers have descended to earth, bringing endless majesty and oppression.

The Qin Army, which existed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and the unified Qin Dynasty, was a powerful iron army at the time. It swept across the six kingdoms, attacked the Huns in the north, attacked the barbarians in the south, and unified the country. It was known for its strict discipline, outstanding individual quality, and powerful weapons and equipment.

The Qin army performed well on the battlefield and had almost no shortcomings. Their weapons manufacturing technology was also very advanced. They designed triangular arrows that were close to the laws of modern aerodynamics. These arrows had strong piercing power and combined with their original crossbow mechanism, gave the Qin army a great advantage in battle.

Their tactics and weapons and equipment were also very advanced. For example, the Qin army's spearman phalanx was similar to the Macedonian phalanx in the West, but more dense and mainly used to restrain cavalry charges.

The strength of heavy crossbowmen far exceeds that of ordinary crossbows, and their penetrating lethality is extremely strong, capable of causing huge damage in long-range suppression.

In addition, there was a special type of soldier in the Qin army called the death soldiers, who would do anything for military merit. They usually held special long swords to assassinate enemy generals or charge.

Moreover, their discipline and individual qualities were also excellent. They were bald and shirtless, and marched forward bravely. Compared with the armies of the six countries, they had an overwhelming advantage. The Qin army's death squads were able to cause large-scale casualties on the battlefield, holding human heads in their left hands, holding prisoners under their right arms, and chasing down their opponents.

This efficient fighting style and strict discipline made the Qin army almost invincible on the battlefield.

In front of this army, three generals were riding side by side. They were the three monsters from Lion Camel Ridge who had broken with the Yellow Turban Army of Wuzhou on the battlefield of Daxuan in the past!

After breaking with the Yellow Turban Army, the eldest brother Qin Shi, who was the leader of the three, was recalled to serve the Qin Dynasty behind him, and he also brought his second brother Bai Xiang and third brother Kong Jin back to the Qin Dynasty.
