Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!
Chapter 88 The War Begins, Countdown to the City Wall
"That's weird. I already have a weapon, and you still come."
"By the way... the repeating crossbow he made is amazing!"
Thinking of the tall figure that she had been thinking about day and night, Guan Yue felt warm in her heart.
But her hands did not stop moving.
He commanded the idle soldiers around him to disperse to both wings.
After Hu Lan's death, the remaining defeated troops instantly collapsed and were now preparing to escape.
But after running two steps, they suddenly realized!
The caravan behind them... actually ran faster than them!
The war horses for these people were specially selected by Wan Shu after Qin Ming left.
Since there was no need to rush to find war horses for the large army, Wan Shu called Guan Yue to help him and selected them very carefully.
All the horses we found were of high quality.
Screams and pleas for mercy began to spread across the battlefield.
But soon, the hill became quiet.
"Find someone to tell Song Dingsheng to clean up the mess. Let's go."
Guan Yue didn't know Hu Lan's identity, and even if she knew, she wouldn't waste time on him who was already dead.
He turned around, gave some instructions, and then led his men on their journey.
It seemed like this was just a minor incident during the delivery.
After the crowd left.
Hu Lan, lying on the ground with his eyes wide open, gradually became silent.
His face was full of reluctance and confusion.
As one of the main generals of the Southern Barbarians, he probably never imagined that he would end up dying in such obscurity.
Two days later, Guan Yue arrived at Ningming Pass with some things.
The Nanman army is still marching forward, but because of two wrong decisions and surprise attacks.
One of their two important senior leaders was captured and the other died silently.
Hui Ming doesn't know any of this.
He still attacks every day, but he finds himself under increasing pressure these days.
"Why haven't you come back yet?"
Standing on the guard post, Huiming looked at the dilapidated Ningming Pass city wall in the distance, wondering what was happening behind the wall.
"Could it be that the King of Qin has been disrupted?"
"Then why are they still stationing so many troops here? No, the King of Qin must be at the end of his rope, only concerned about the consequences!"
Huiming thought very optimistically.
I am already looking forward to Tuqi and Hu Lan's triumphant return.
It would be best to turn Qin Ming’s rear area upside down!
Inside Ningming Pass, the war has been going on for a month, and everyone's face is filled with fatigue.
However, all this fatigue turned into surprise when they saw the supplies delivered.
Many people have heard that if a new batch of supplies arrives, the war will soon come to an end.
"This is the IOU Wan Shu asked me to give you. Please put your fingerprint on it."
In a simple thatched hut, Guan Yue sat in front of Qin Ming and took out a piece of paper from her arms.
There are lines of beautiful small characters written on it.
These are all records of advance payments from the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce.
During this month's battle, Qin Ming and his team have indeed made a lot of contributions.
But it cost quite a lot of money.
Not only had he spent all his previous savings, but he also owed the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce 170,000 taels of silver.
Seeing the new supplies arrive, Qin Ming, who was in a better mood, suddenly felt overwhelmed.
"Just owe her the money first and ask her if she'll accept it as compensation."
"Stinking rogue!"
Guan Yue reached out and pinched Qin Ming.
But she underestimated Qin Ming's thickness of skin.
After being pinched, Qin Ming licked her face and hugged her to tease her for a while, then suddenly said:
"When you get back, ask Wan Shu if he can give you another batch of supplies. I'll sell them on credit for now."
"I'm embarrassed to ask for more."
Guan Yue flatly refused.
But after Qin Ming said sweet words for a while, she hurried back with a red face.
"Your Highness, how are you?"
After seeing Guan Yue off, Cao Chuan and Liu Chuang hurried forward.
Chang Baishan followed behind and said with a chuckle:
"Your Highness, if you take action, you will definitely be able to get it. I think that Wan Shu..."
Just as he was gossiping about Qin Ming's gossip with everyone.
Feeling Qin Ming's gaze on him, he stopped immediately.
"I'm eating this gigolo just for you guys, don't talk nonsense down there."
"Okay, I understand."
Chang Baishan nodded immediately, smiled and stood aside.
At this time, Cao Chuan said:
"Your Highness, the cement materials have been gathered and the process has begun. We can reinforce the city wall tonight. Shall we...?"
"Then do it tonight."
In order to prevent any further complications, Qin Ming put a lot of thought into this trip.
Wu Qingye changed into the latest batch of high-quality horses sent by Guan Yue.
When traveling through mountains and forests, the role of war horses may be limited.
But Wu Qingye took on the most important task, so Qin Ming naturally would not treat him unfairly and would give him the best of everything.
"Give all those crossbows to Wu Qingye."
"Once the city wall is built, we won't need this thing to defend against their attacks."
"Yes!"
Soon, Wu Qingye led a team of hundreds of people and launched a surprise attack.
That night, the gate of Nanming Pass, which had never been opened before, was suddenly opened.
Then soldiers began to pour out like a tide.
"General, the Daqian army is coming!"
Huiming, who was sleeping, got up from the bed and thought about the news with disbelief on his face.
"How can it be!?"
"Lead the troops and follow me to attack!"
He didn't think too much about it, nor did he realize that this was a feint to the east and attack in the west.
He led the army and rushed out of the military camp.
Soon, the Nanman army and the Wuwei camp officially clashed.
Liu Chuang and Cao Chuan killed countless enemies on the battlefield, and blood splattered everywhere.
Both sides invested their troops without regard for the casualties.
Huiming, with his shoulder bandaged, felt a little hesitant as he looked at the increasing losses.
At the same time, Qin Ming was also standing on the city wall watching everything below.
Although it is said that it takes a thousand days to train an army, it only takes a moment to use it.
But this time their losses were too great.
He watched those soldiers whom he was very familiar with, some of whom he could even call out by name, die one by one on the battlefield.
Qin Ming was silent the whole night.
This was the first time he participated in a formal war since coming to this world.
The entire battlefield was like a huge meat grinder, crushing everything and making life as worthless as grass.
It was a bloody scene he had never seen before.
"Your Highness."
Chang Baishan saw the anxiety and sadness in Qin Ming's heart, walked up to him and stood on the city wall with him, trying to find topics to help distract him.
"We've already started repairing the city wall. The first batch of cement has been put into use. Everyone is making rapid progress. It looks like it won't even take six days."
"Six days... These dead and wounded soldiers, you will write down the list later."
"Write down the list? Your Highness, there will be someone in the army to take care of this. What do you want this list for?"
Looking at Qin Ming's gloomy face, Chang Baishan suddenly panicked.
He felt as if something big was about to happen.
As expected, Qin Ming slowly said word by word:
"I want to help them collect their debts!"
