Chapter 1930: Chapter 21: Let’s Drink Wine!
The one-armed Fan Qing stepped onto the battlefield, initiating a powerful political and psychological offensive against the Ying Country’s army. He continuously persuaded them to surrender, diminishing their fighting spirit, leading to a mass surrender of Ying Country’s defeated troops.
Those who were still unwilling, along with the die-hard loyalists of Ying Country, were completely surrounded and killed.
Yue Qianfeng wielded his Battle Halberd, laughing loudly, as the Red Dragon Dharma Form stretched its body on the battlefield. Accompanied by his laughter, one after another, Ying Country’s war generals spewing fresh blood fell to the ground.
"Can’t fight just because you spat a little blood?!"
"Are you all merely amusing me?"
"Spitting just mouthfuls of blood—isn’t that merely a warm-up on the battlefield?!"
"Come on, keep fighting, keep fighting!"
Emperor Qin’s orders were completely different from the thoughts of these defeated troops.
Following their thoughts, and according to the choices of those overlord kings in recent historical records, after defeating the enemy’s main force, Emperor Qin would temporarily cease hostilities. But this time, Emperor Qin seemed determined to finish this battle completely.
To fight until the day of complete victory.
After simple healing, Emperor Qin Li Guanyi personally returned to the battlefield once again.
As Emperor Qin personally stepped onto the battlefield, and as the Qilin Army continuously defeated the fleeing troops, gaining an ever-larger advantage, the morale and fighting spirit of the remaining troops sank day by day.
Fan Qing and the Qilin Army mobilized the common folk.
The people guided them on their paths, and seven or eight years prior, in Western Regions, the morale had been personally guided by a silver-haired girl to complete the Mystical Star Phenomenon Popularization. The Qilin Army’s superiority in tracking and direction recognition surpassed any army in history.
In the sky, the Divine Eagle Auspicious from the grasslands soared across the vast sky.
Its eyes easily found one hidden troop after another.
Every preparation made before played a huge role in this final great battle, with years of planning, preparation, boosting the final situation of victory and defeat.
The Qilin Army and Emperor Qin exerted immense pressure, combined with Fan Qing’s pleas for surrender, it was almost psychologically the strategy of "surrounding three and leaving one", causing many soldiers to flee their camps at night to surrender to the Qilin Army.
When one person flees, he can lead ten others.
When ten flee, they can lead a hundred.
A hundred fleeing can cause an entire army to collapse and scatter, and these people surrendering from various places and battlefields converging together turned into a torrent called the trend of the era.
The overwhelming momentum had become waves, crashing forward unstoppably.
After three hundred years of chaos, the minds of people of the world longed for peace and stability, not something one person could resist?
One by one, defeated troops surrendered, admitted defeat, the last rebels made a desperate stand, hiding in the mountains, refusing to surrender. By late September, heavy snow fell, sealing the mountains and roads, the freezing cold debilitated any logistical supplies, finally posing a devastating blow to morale of the last troop.
Emperor Qin personally led the army, with Yue Pengwu on the left side, Yue Qianfeng on the right, launching a simultaneous attack.
The battle lasted less than an hour.
The Ying Country’s last Ministry of War general was slain as a symbol.
The last resisting troop of the Ying Country was completely extinguished. From late June to late September, this battle wagered on the world and the future lasted a hundred days, finally restoring general peace to the world.
During this period, Wen Qingyu continued his siege of the Eastern Capital city.
This guy is considered the greatest self-planning strategist in the world, nearly predicting all the strategies of those inside the city.
How to predict it?
Simply by putting oneself into the city’s situation and imagining what actions they might take, then blocking those actions entirely.
Very simple.
Emperor Qin personally went to the Eastern Capital city.
This battle is ranked as one of the most grandiose in world history, yet the grandeur recorded by Military School and historical texts typically also represents long periods of chaos and slaughter, depicting the absolute cruelty of the battlefield.
Both sides deployed armies on the scale of millions; even the Qilin Army holding an absolute strategic advantage saw death tolls nearing one in ten, with nearly ten thousand soldiers dying in this battle for worldwide peace.
The number of injured reached a startling three in ten.
Whereas the Ying Country’s army had an even higher toll of casualties, the vast world was nearly stained red with the blood of fallen warriors, each having paid the immense price of unknown numbers of sacrifices, reached this point.
This is the heart of humanity, this is the unstoppable momentum.
Finally, after the Qilin Army’s main force cleared defeated troops from all around, they gathered under Ying Country’s Eastern Capital city.
The gates of Eastern Capital remained firmly locked; Qilin Army, Taiping Army, Yue Family Army, Heavenly Strategy Mansion surrounded the entire city with scarlet Qilin Cloud Pattern banners, as if gathering flames from all around the world to burn the old world down.
Emperor Qin rode the Divine Steed, its hooves striking the ground with solemn melody, as he arrived here with the army, Gao Xiang had visited beforehand, pleading Emperor Qin to spare Jiang Gao’s life.
Despite his great reputation in the world, most of it was outside the Northern Domain, he hadn’t participated in battles within the Central Plains, except for key battles like the final battle and assassinating the Great Khan, the Divine Shooter pleaded humbly:
"Jiang Gao is not like Jiang Yuan in temperament, but rather driven by Jiang Su’s strategies, forced to stand up and bear the burden of the world and Ying Country. Your Majesty’s martial prowess is unparalleled in the world, you have the army, using blades and horses to pacify the world."
"Your prowess has no rival in history."
"Jiang Gao’s era has ended, there is certainly no threat he can pose to Your Majesty, please spare his life as the conclusion of this chaotic world. Let this former Ying Country’s emperor live within the peaceful era you have founded, isn’t that a peaceful gesture as well?"
When Emperor Qin personally arrived at Eastern Capital city, the grand gates slowly opened, and Emperor Ying Jiang Gao wearing imperial robes appeared at the city gates, looking at Emperor Qin ahead.
One hand holding a jug of wine, the other clutching a seal wrapped in bright yellow silk, with a dark gold Gray Dragon Pattern on it.
As Jiang Gao walked out, the Qilin Army immediately stood vigilant, among the scarlet Qilin Pattern banners, the finest generals of the age held their weapons, exuding a courageous aura reaching the heavens.
Jiang Gao’s expression was calm, he looked at the king under the grand banner, riding Dragon Colt, clad in black armor, draped in scarlet Civil and Military Sleeves battle robes, looking at his cold, calm brows, enclosing with the force to extinguish a country.
He truly has the spirit of a Founding Emperor.
No—
He is the founder of the country indeed.
Jiang Gao took a deep breath, smiling cheerfully, spoke: "Emperor Qin, do you remember the youthful promise?"
"May we share a drink, perhaps?"
