Guanzhong coincides with the rainy season, and the drizzle is getting heavier and heavier, like a downpour, which seems to have the meaning of washing away the sins of the world.
But rain is just rain after all. Not only can it not wash away sins, but there are too many corpses in Chang'an City. Once soaked in water, diseases are more likely to breed.
The world is like this, some people can't even cry, but some people can laugh out loud.
Nanyue General Shi Ding was smiling happily at this moment. He had been blessed with great luck recently and everything was going smoothly.
Half a month ago, Shi Ding was ordered by Zhao Tuo, King of South Vietnam, to lead an army of 150,000 to cooperate with Buddhism in attacking Qin.
Because there was another large army in South Vietnam holding back the difficult Qin general Li Xin, Shi Ding set out from South Vietnam and arrived at Wuguan City without ever experiencing a war.
He originally thought that the attack on Wuguan would be a bloody battle, but he did not expect that the ending would be too dramatic.
The general of Wuguan was actually a loyal Buddhist believer.
After hearing the news, the Buddhist sect immediately sent an eminent monk to enter the pass at night and hold a candle-lit night talk with the Wuguan guard to discuss Buddhism.
The next day, the guard general of Wuguan hosted a banquet for all military generals above the rank of camp general, drank several glasses of poisonous wine, and then Wuguan was broken.
In this way, Shi Ding led the South Vietnamese army into Guanzhong without any effort, aiming directly at Chang'an.
Before approaching Chang'an, Shi Ding's luck broke out again, and he happened to encounter Liu Ji's army and the Qin army fighting to the death, and it was at the last moment.
Under the edict of the Buddhist Lord Xuantang, Shi Ding decisively ordered the entire army to attack the Qin army and rescue Liu Ji's army.
The Qin army, which was at the end of its battle, was immediately defeated, and Shi Ding unknowingly ushered in another great victory.
The subsequent attack on Chang'an further strengthened Shi Ding's belief that he had great fortune.
At the beginning of the siege, Lord Xuantang did not let the South Vietnamese army take part, but sent 30,000 warrior monks with special skills.
Although the 30,000 monks failed to capture Chang'an, they did not suffer much loss.
On the contrary, Liu Ji's temporary ally, 50,000 soldiers, was almost completely wiped out.
Later, another temporary ally, the Western Qin Dynasty, conquered Chang'an. Lord Xuantang immediately took action and broke through the city gate of Chang'an.
Then, as if in a dream, Shi Ding led his army into the famous and heroic city of Chang'an.
When he first entered Chang'an, he was shocked to see dead bodies everywhere, and then countless supplies confused his eyes.
Boxes after boxes of gold and copper jewelry, and carts after carts of rare medicinal materials were placed in front of Shi Ding, asking for whatever he wanted.
Shi Ding and his men spent the whole day ruthlessly harvesting the goods, planning to transport the supplies outside the city first and continue tomorrow.
After all, there were too many dead bodies in Chang'an City, and it was troublesome to deal with them, so it was really uninhabitable.
What if a soldier gets up to go out in the middle of the night and is accidentally frightened by a dead body, and becomes excited and triggers a roar in the camp?
In this way, Shi Ding led his army fully loaded out of the city.
After leaving Chang'an City and walking for a while, Shi Ding suddenly felt uneasy and seemed to be facing some danger.
Shi Ding listened to the chirping of insects and birds from the forest, his face full of confusion. The city of Chang'an was destroyed and hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out. How could there be any danger?
Shi Ding, who was cautious by nature, waved his hand to his personal guards and asked, "Is there any unusual news coming from the scout camp?"
The guard thought about it for a moment: "Reporting to the commander, there is no abnormal news from the scout camp."
Shi Ding breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously asked: "How long ago was the news spread?"
The guard replied: "About two quarters of an hour ago."
Shi Ding's expression suddenly changed and he exclaimed: "No, there's an ambush?"
Just as Shi Ding said these words, roars were heard one after another, and dark balls were thrown towards the South Vietnamese army.
Hundreds of artillery shells exploded in the 150,000-strong South Vietnamese army. Suddenly, the troops were on their backs and their formations were in chaos.
Especially the war horses, screaming and running wildly, smashing the already scattered formation into pieces.
Shi Ding's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said two words: "Western Qin."
Yesterday, during the siege of the city, Shi Ding dedicated his energy to watching secretly to see what means the temporary ally Xi Qin would use to attack the city.
The image of Western Qin using artillery to bombard the city walls was deeply etched into his mind.
Shi Ding thought at that time that Western Qin had such a sharp weapon, and if there was no countermeasures and it was hostile to it, it would suffer a big loss. Unexpectedly, it would fall on him so quickly.
The bombardment continued. An ambush was different from a city siege. Lin Ze did not order thousands of artillery pieces to fire at the same time. Instead, he used the legendary three-stage attack to maintain a continuous strike and completely prevent the South Vietnamese army from turning over.
While Shi Ding was dodging artillery attacks, his heart was bleeding as he watched the South Vietnamese soldiers fleeing in panic and trampling on each other.
It's not that Shi Ding didn't think about calming down the soldiers, gathering them into formation, and fighting head-on with the Western Qin army, but due to the interference of the sound and fire, his orders couldn't be passed on at all.
There was great terror between life and death, so the South Vietnamese soldiers went crazy and fled desperately just to survive safely.
In desperation, Shi Ding could only lead his bodyguards to fight their way to the north.
Lin Zeling stood in mid-air. When he saw this scene, he just smiled and murmured to himself: "Do you know what Ambush from Flying Daggers is?"
After Lin Ze decided on the ambush point, he divided the troops other than the 20,000 troops participating in the ambush into 13 groups in units of 10,000 people, laid dragnets and ambushed them in all directions.
…
The war comes and goes quickly.
Half an hour later, Zhang Han came to Lin Ze with an excited look on his face: "Master Shengming, the entire South Vietnamese army of 150,000 has been wiped out."
"The enemy suffered more than 50,000 casualties. Most of them were trampled to death. Only a small number died at the hands of Western Qin warriors. The remaining 100,000 troops were almost all captured."
"The general has also captured the leader of the South Vietnamese army. This person has been shouting that he wants to see the country's leader. I wonder what the country's leader is going to do?"
Lin Ze thought for a while and said, "Bring it with you. In addition, as Chuangu ordered, it will be getting late. All the ministries will quickly clean up the battlefield and return to camp to rest. We will discuss the record of battle achievements tomorrow."
Zhang Han bowed and responded: "No."
After a while, two soldiers brought Shi Ding, who had been sealed and bound, to Lin Ze.
When Shi Ding saw Lin Ze, he immediately shouted: "Master of Western Qin, this time we are attacking Qin, South Vietnam and Western Qin are allies. Why did you ignore our friendship and attack our army?"
Lin Ze replied casually: "Because the attack on Qin is over. If we destroy you, thousands of miles of fertile land in Guanzhong will be owned by Western Qin."
Shi Ding said with a look of sorrow and anger: "South Vietnam has no intention of competing with Western Qin for Guanzhong, so why should the leader of Western Qin be a villain in vain?"
Lin Ze looked very bored and replied calmly: "South Vietnam has no intention of competing for Guanzhong, but South Vietnam King Zhao Tuo wants to compete for the world. How could I let go of such a great opportunity and allow South Vietnam to grow?"
"What's more, you guys are so dishonest that you stole so many resources in Chang'an. How could you not know that this is a way to die?"
Shi Ding was speechless for a moment when he heard the words and had no words to reply.
After a while, Shi Ding suddenly remembered something and said loudly: "Master of the Western Qin Kingdom, the Buddhists support South Vietnam. Aren't you afraid that the Buddhists will learn about this and come to hold you accountable?"
A mocking smile appeared on Lin Ze's face, and he said coldly: "You can just come and wait for me."
Seeing that Shi Ding wanted to say more, Lin Ze was already a little impatient. He waved his hand and said to the soldiers who were escorting Shi Ding: "Pull on, don't let him die easily. After all, he is also a South Vietnamese general. No matter what, he can be replaced by another one."
A hefty ransom."
…
After destroying the South Vietnamese army, Lin Ze did not stop, but divided the army into several branches to attack Guanzhong and capture all the lands in Guanzhong.
