Chapter 513 Luoyang (First update)
The Qin army was defeated!

Even the Qin army, which was known for its power and might among the six kingdoms, calmed down instantly after discovering that they could not kill the enemy with just one blow.

People can indeed do a lot of incredible things when they are angry, but that definitely does not include sliding and hitting a tiger!

The Qin army retreated more than a hundred miles, and the Tang army chased them all the way to Yanshi County on the east side of Luoyang, and almost returned to the old capital.

By the way, Luoyang has always been the private land of the Zhou emperor. However, more than ten years ago, Ying Zheng’s father, King Zhuangxiang of Qin, destroyed the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and took the Nine Cauldrons directly back to Xianyang. The Zhou emperor, who had ruled the world for nearly eight hundred years, was finished just like that!
Li Qingyuan wanted his soldiers to fight their way to Luoyang in one go, but it was obvious that the human body had its limits. After a day of chasing and killing, the Tang army soldiers were now all exhausted. Not to mention attacking Luoyang, many of them might even die suddenly due to their emotional excitement.

In order to prevent these elite soldiers who had been trained with great difficulty from dying suddenly, he quickly brought several large barrels of sports drinks and asked the baggage soldiers to deliver them quickly so that all the guys could drink enough water to slow down the consumption of their bodies.

"Great victory! Your Majesty! Great victory!"

Fan Yuqi shouted excitedly that his greatest wish in life was to rush back to Xianyang and chop off the head of the dog King Qin, but he always knew that it was just a dream!
Qin is the strongest country in the world today. As a rebel general of Qin, no country dares to take him in. He has been fleeing in exile like a stray dog, and he also has to avoid Luowang's pursuit. It can be said that he lives like a dog.

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Fan Yuqi would look up at the starry sky and hate those bastards from the Qin State!
The Chang'an Jun Rebellion actually had little to do with him, and he was forced to do so. The essence of it was the discord between the old and new nobles of Qin State. Also, the Prime Minister Lu Buwei did not want to hand over power to the King of Qin so early. It can be said that it was caused by many factors, and he, Fan Yuqi, was just a knife that was pushed out!

So the King of Qin wanted to kill him. Fan Yuqi said that he could understand it, but you killed my entire family, which was too much!

Everyone knows that I'm just a scapegoat. You don't settle accounts with those people behind the scenes, but instead you keep picking on me, the scapegoat. That's too much!

Compared to enemies, everyone hates traitors more. The King of Qin hated Fan Yuqi to the core, and similarly, Fan Yuqi also hated him to death.

In history, in order to create an opportunity for Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin, Fan Yuqi chopped off his own head without hesitation, which shows that the hatred between him and the King of Qin was absolutely irreconcilable.

Originally, Fan Yuqi thought that he had no hope of revenge in this lifetime, but who would have thought that he would have such a great gain!
Admittedly, it seems to be just a small victory, but as long as we have this elite force, defeating the Qin State is not a dream!

"The general deserves the most credit for this battle!"

Li Qingyuan praised Fan Yuqi.

Although the armor he provided played a decisive factor, if it were not for Fan Yuqi's good command, it would not have been possible to achieve such a fruitful record.

You have to know that when fighting against the Chu army, the Chu army was clearly in a state of collapse and the soldiers under his command only chased them fiercely, but did not achieve any substantial results, and they didn't even capture a city of the Chu State.

This time the Qin army was defeated. Even though Nei Shi Teng tried his best to resist, under the command of Fan Yuqi, Qin still lost six cities in one go!

Of course, these so-called cities are only as big as a town, and the number of residents in the city is at most a few thousand. The total population of the six cities is less than 40,000. It can only be said that any village or town in later generations is much more prosperous than these so-called cities.

However, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. This is the case in Korea in the past hundred years.

Pah! This was the first time that the Tang State had conquered a city from the Qin State. Even though these cities were actually the territory of South Korea a decade ago, this could definitely be considered as expanding the territory.

"If it weren't for the king, how could I have such a great victory!" Fan Yuqi quickly expressed his opinion to Li Qingyuan, and there was harmony between the king and his subjects.

"General, are you confident that we can capture Luoyang?"

Luoyang is a famous city in the world and the former residence of the Zhou emperor. If it can be taken down, it will definitely make the Tang Dynasty famous and make the Qin Dynasty lose face.

"Your Majesty, if we attack Luoyang, I'm afraid we are not strong enough!"

Fan Yuqi looked at his own king and felt that he really did whatever he wanted.

Is Luoyang City so easy to conquer?

You must know that Luoyang, as the former capital of the Zhou Dynasty, has been strengthening its city walls for hundreds of years. It is said that the Qin State was able to resist the six countries by relying on the natural barrier of Hangu Pass. So the Zhou Dynasty emperor originally relied on Luoyang City to command the world.

Even though King Zhuangxiang of Qin was fighting against the Zhou emperor who only had one city left, he still let Wang Jian lead an army of 400,000 to capture Luoyang!
Although the main reason why Wang Jian was allowed to lead an army of 400,000 was to prevent other countries from causing trouble, after all, the Zhou emperor was still the common ruler of the world in name. If the Qin State could not win the battle and it turned into a tug-of-war, it would be easy for the Qin State to fall into the disadvantage of public opinion. However, it must be said that Luoyang is definitely the largest and most solid city in the world today.

Neither Xianyang nor Linzi can compare with Luoyang, let alone Xinzheng!

"But if we don't take Luoyang, wouldn't all these hundreds of miles of fighting be in vain?"

It is about two hundred miles from Luoyang to Jinshui City. There are eight small cities along the way. The Tang army has captured six of them so far, and the last two are left.

"We can reinforce the city wall in Yanshi to hold off the Qin army a little bit—"

Fan Yuqi stopped talking. The wall of Yanshi City was only about ten feet thick, and the city was only three miles wide. It would be useless even if it was reinforced!

The Qin State will definitely fight back after suffering such a huge loss, and the next time it comes, it will have more than just this few troops!

The total military strength of Qin State was as high as 800,000, so this defeat was nothing to Qin State.

Twenty thousand heavily armored infantrymen were all the resources of the Tang State. In a one-on-one or even a two-on-one situation, they could defeat the Qin army.

But the bonus brought by the equipment is limited. Not to mention fighting one against ten, even if it is fighting one against three, Fan Yuqi feels that there is a great chance of capsizing.

After all, infantry wearing heavy armor only enhances their defense but does not make them invincible. Facing the Qin army that is several times larger than their own, there is no possibility of winning at all.

"That's why! Luoyang must be taken. If we fail to take Luoyang, then this victory will be in vain!"

(Sorry, Eryang, there is still one more chapter today, which will be made up in the evening. I will take a rest and try to recover as soon as possible! This chapter may be a little lame, sorry!)
