Chapter 575: Chapter 238: Zhao Feng: Treasury, Another Bountiful Harvest! (3)
“Cruel, so cruel…”
The King of Donghu’s face turned ashen, and there was a sense of fear.
As the king of a nation, with millions under his rule, this was the only time he felt fear.
He had been completely fooled, and this time the Qin Army’s surprise attack resulted in heavy losses for his Donghu people – severe damage to population and resources.
Within their own territory, the Qin Army moved freely, with hardly any damage.
Wu Wu, who was nearby, saw this.
His heart sank as well.
He had warned once before, but the King of Donghu did not take it seriously.
“Great King.”
“What should we do now?” Wu Wu looked at the King of Donghu and asked.
The King of Donghu glanced hatefully in the direction of Tu An, filled with strong reluctance: “Retreat.”
“The royal court has already been attacked by the Qin Army, and I’m afraid by the time our forces arrive, it will be too late.”
“Perhaps the Qin Army has already retreated.” A general spoke out.
“Bastard.”
The King of Donghu cursed and then gritted his teeth: “I will definitely not let this group of Qin Army go.”
Thinking of the royal court being captured by the Qin Army.
Wouldn’t the clansmen and family left in the royal court be in trouble?
At this moment, the King of Donghu was burning with anxiety.
“Hu’er.”
The King of Donghu shouted.
“Here.”
A young general quickly approached.
“You lead the 300,000 troops back to the royal court immediately for rescue.”
“Once you find the Qin Army, tear them to pieces for me.” The King of Donghu said coldly.
“Father.”
“What about you?”
Tuoba Hu asked worriedly.
“The Qin Army that attacked our royal court should have already retreated south.”
“I must catch up.”
“These damned people of Qin, I will tear them to pieces.” The King of Donghu said through gritted teeth.
This time he suffered such a huge loss, consuming so much national power, the King of Donghu felt an unprecedented shame.
If this group of Qin Army truly escapes back to Qin, then Donghu will become the laughingstock of the grasslands.
“But father.”
“Our army’s provisions are insufficient to last long.”
“The original supplies gathered were almost entirely burned by the Qin Army, and this expedition also carried the royal court’s foundation, but it is not enough for half a month.” Tuoba Hu said seriously.
“Half a month is enough.”
“If we don’t destroy this group of Qin Army, I am unworthy of being the King of Donghu, unworthy of being the overlord of the grasslands.” The King of Donghu said coldly.
The decision was made.
Then he shouted loudly: “Hu’er, once you return, stabilize the chaos in the royal court, I will return to the royal court after destroying this group of Qin Army.”
“Warriors.”
“Follow me south, flatten Qin.”
The King of Donghu yelled fiercely.
With overwhelming rage and hatred, he changed direction and charged towards the Land of Yan in Shenzhou.
Behind him, tens of thousands of troops followed.
At the same time.
Tu’an State.
A small country located in the northeastern border of Shenzhou, with a population of only two to three million, even weaker than the weakest Han in Shenzhou’s various countries.
When mentioning Tu’an, it may not be well-known, but the neighboring country has historical significance and is known for its shamelessness.
Goguryeo.
In later generations, it was known as Goguryeo.
Neighboring each other, their national powers are not much different, they are two small countries.
Adjacent to Shenzhou, they rely heavily on Shenzhou for trade, yet they also watch from the sidelines; they do not participate in Shenzhou’s disputes, or rather, they lack the qualification to participate.
Because any of Shenzhou’s countries can easily deal with them.
And at this moment.
The border city of Tu’an State adjacent to Donghu.
On the city tower.
Looking out far ahead, countless cavalry horses were seen charging forward, appearing ready to attack.
“General Jin.”
“Could it be that Donghu is going to attack us?”
“What should we do?”
On the city tower.
A group of Tu’an soldiers looked anxiously at the leading general.
Although Donghu’s population does not compare to Qin or any country in Shenzhou, it far exceeds Tu’an, and all people are soldiers.
Tu’an, being a secluded place.
Is not worried about Shenzhou’s various countries, because in their view, Tu’an is just a tiny spot, not worthy, and they regard them as barbarians.
So all along.
Tu’an mainly defends against Donghu and Goguryeo.
Especially Donghu.
With strong national power and military might.
This time, upon receiving news that Donghu has mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops, the King of Tu’an immediately dispatched Great General Jin Feng to oversee, and mobilized 100,000 troops to guard the border city against Donghu.
After all, with Donghu’s enormous setup, how could neighboring Tu’an not be afraid, or not be informed.
“What’s the panic?”
“Are Tu’an’s warriors afraid of Donghu?”
Jin Feng glanced and coldly shouted.
The soldiers on the city tower immediately fell silent.
“If Donghu dares to come, this general will lead Tu’an’s warriors to kill them one by one.” Jin Feng said with great confidence.
At this moment!
The army in front drew nearer and nearer.
At first glance.
“General Jin.”
“It doesn’t seem to be Donghu.”
“Donghu people don’t wear black armor, and not everyone has battle armor.”
“These look very much like Shenzhou’s army.” A general exclaimed.
“Look.”
“They also have flags.”
“What characters are those?”
“Seems like Shenzhou’s characters.”
Another general said.
Jin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the approaching army, then with a hint of shock: “Qin!”
“This is the Qin Army.”
“Shenzhou Qin’s army.”
Jin Feng said in a deep voice.
“Shenzhou’s Qin?”
“Aren’t they in the west? How could their army emerge from Donghu’s territory?”
One general asked in confusion.
“Could the rumors be true?”
“Donghu suffered losses of nearly 200,000 troops in Shenzhou, and then Qin Army took advantage of Donghu’s defeat to invade Donghu.” Jin Feng’s mind pondered at this moment.
