The Immortal Emperor is so fertile.

Chapter 178: Border War
barren state.

Qin State.

Northern Icefield.

Winter arrived as expected. The cold wind blew across the endless ice field, rolling up countless crystal snowflakes that fell down as lightly as feathers.

The sky is full of flying snow, like a grand snow feast, dyeing the whole world into pure white.

In this vast expanse of ice and snow, a group of more than a thousand immigrants trudged through the snow.

Although the road is difficult, their faces are all filled with a smile called "hope".

The place they were going to was north of Dayan Mountain.

The snow season there lasts for seven months every year. Even when the snow melts and spring returns to the earth, people still don't feel warm.

But the worse the environment, the greater the rewards!
To the north of Dayan Mountain there grows a rare flower that can only be found there.

Orchid.

This strange flower does not have any miraculous medicinal properties that can bring the dead back to life, and it is not very attractive in appearance, but you can extract from it a color that makes all women uneasy!

Well, this flower is the raw material for cosmetics...

Scarce quantity and high value!
Therefore, even though this group of immigrants suffered from extreme cold on the road and many people had their hands and feet broken by the cold, no one stopped moving forward!
After all, the habits of orchids are very peculiar.

It will melt directly if the weather is slightly hot, and the colder the surroundings are, the more vigorously it grows!
After Dayan Mountain became part of the Qin State, the climate became increasingly colder due to artificial manipulation in order to obtain a large amount of this valuable orchid.

The immigrant team walked for a long time and the snow fell heavier.

Even the strongest among them could not bear it anymore, so after a brief discussion, they chose to find a place sheltered from the wind to set up camp and rest.

Fortunately, when they set out, they obtained enough food, tents, kerosene and other supplies from local officials, so they did not have to worry about hunger and cold at all.

It didn't take long.

Construction of a temporary camp for migrants has been completed.

The next step, of course, is to light a fire and boil water to warm up your body as quickly as possible.

At this moment, the Qin soldiers escorting the immigrants suddenly looked serious and lay on the ground, listening carefully.

They are all warriors in the innate realm. Compared with ordinary people, they have sharper ears and eyes and can make judgments quickly.

"A large group of people is approaching quickly!"

"Everyone on alert!"

……

Orders were conveyed quickly.

Immigrants took action.

The men hid behind the outermost snow piles with weapons in hand, while the women and children huddled in the center of the camp.

Everyone looked nervous.

Especially the men.

Many of them were just farmers who had just put down their hoes. Although they had learned some martial arts techniques on the road and their strength had increased by more than 100 kilograms, they had no experience in fighting. When they encountered a strong enemy, they were just cheerleaders...

Therefore, the warriors in the immigration team desperately practiced their skills and concentrated all their strength and attention!
They are ready to fight to the death.

In this battle, there is no turning back!
They were all "pure Qin people", although after joining the Tiance Army they were treated as "migrant workers" for quite a while and were doing infrastructure construction everywhere...

But ever since Tian Yongsheng carried out the military reform and Han Yang and Li Qi promulgated the "New Qin Law", all of them were transferred from civilians to the military, and they trained their muscles all day long, just to go into battle and kill the enemy, or to die!
This is the pride of the Qin people!

Soon, they spotted the enemy.

They were a group of warriors wearing green armor, walking in an orderly manner. It was obvious that they were not a civilian group!

"Green armor and silver helmets, this is the army of the Marquis of Hancheng!"

"Damn robber!"

"Captain, attack!"

……

The Qin army warriors were all filled with righteous indignation.

This made the surrounding immigrants very confused.

After all, they had lived and eaten with those soldiers along the way and had chatted with them in their spare time, so they knew that there was no hatred between the Qin State and the so-called 'Marquis of Handancheng'. Therefore, this kind of tension now seemed very unusual.

They asked their doubts quietly.

The Qin army captain lowered his voice and explained: "Those people are the disguised troops of the Marquis of Handan City. They invaded our territory in order to steal the orchid grass in Dayan Mountain!" "What?"

"Stealing orchids?"

"Fuck them, kill them!"

……

Immigrants, too, have become indignant.

After all, they traveled thousands of miles and were willing to sacrifice their lives to obtain orchids!
If a small orchid was exchanged for money, it would be enough for them to eat and drink for a year!
With everyone united, the battle began.

The first to launch the attack were the Qin army warriors.

According to the "Secret Art of Killing the Enemy" compiled by Tian Yongsheng, the soldiers of Handan State began to attack with the powerful crossbows issued to them at the spiritual weapon level from a distance of 500 steps.

In an instant, arrows rained down!

Although the soldiers of Handan City State wore armor of the same spiritual weapon level, their armor was made by craftsmen from the Desolate State, and the materials were also obtained from the Desolate State. Most of the spiritual energy from the Desolate State was drawn away to maintain the formation that sealed the evil monks...

Naturally, there is a lack of spiritual energy here, and the quality of the ore veins is pitifully low...

The quality of the ore is low, and the quality of the armor forged is also low.

Qin Tian understood this well, so many of the Qin army's weapons and armor were high-quality goods purchased at high prices from other states!
Now, this investment has paid off!

A rain of arrows whistled down, and the soldiers from Handan State who were walking in the front were shot into hedgehogs!

However, before the soldiers of Handancheng could react, many Qin warriors jumped out from behind tree stumps, under snow piles, and beside the road, shouting and killing with deafening sound. They waved their weapons, with determination and resoluteness flashing in their eyes, revealing only one meaning.

kill me!

Or, be killed by me!
Swords flashed, blood splattered, and people fell down every moment.

The soldiers of Handan City were scared.

After all, they came here for money, but the Qin soldiers were fighting for their lives!
Therefore, no one knew who took the lead, but they began to flee for their lives, abandoning their weapons and armor.

The Qin soldiers pursued closely.

At this moment, their appearance is particularly ferocious.

The New Qin Law stipulates that beheading is a reward for merit. Although they are not on the battlefield now, they still do as they usually do. After killing the enemy, they immediately cut off the enemy's head under the cover of their comrades and hang it directly on their waists!
This will not affect their running speed at all!

After all, these are warriors. Their arms have the strength of a thousand pounds, and a head weighing more than ten pounds is not a burden at all!
They can bear more!

Amidst the shouts and screams, the soldiers of Handan State had a very inexplicable emotion. They were not being chased by people, but by a group of hungry wolves, a group of hungry wolves with green eyes!
This made them feel terrified.

So, I ran faster and faster...

During the chase, the mountains gradually became flat and the plain appeared before their eyes. The soldiers of Handan State suddenly burst into cheers.

In the distance, there are thousands of soldiers on the white snow!
Green armor and silver helmet!

This is their army!
At this moment, the offensive and defensive momentum is different!
The Qin soldiers who chased out of the forest were panting, looking at each other, and saw the same idea in each other's eyes.

Fight to the death!

A battle with a huge disparity in strength began.

Qin soldiers died in battle almost every second.

But they did not retreat.

Behind them are the new Qin people who need to be protected, and under their feet is the Qin territory that they swear to protect!
Never retreat!

Not an inch of land will be given up!

They sang loudly what had become the Qin army's war song since who knows when.

"Who says I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. The Duke of Qin raises his army, and I sharpen my spears. I share the same hatred with you..."

They went to their deaths singing.

The soldiers of Handan State who were fighting suddenly discovered that the war songs in their ears seemed to be getting louder and louder, as if not only the Qin soldiers on the opposite side were singing this war song, but even the surrounding wilderness and the mountains in the distance were also singing this war song!

Suddenly, a thin black line quickly emerged at the end of the empty field.

The thin line is getting closer and closer, and is also becoming thicker and thicker!
It’s dark and boundless!

The sound of horse hooves clattered as countless knights in black armor galloped on their horses!

The sunlight broke through the clouds, sprinkled on the earth, and illuminated a huge flag!

Qin!
The Qin army is coming!
