Chapter 896 Kong Jin's Sprint
As an important prefecture of the Great Qian Dynasty, the loss of Yanzhou would directly threaten the security of Qianzhou, the heartland of the Great Qian Dynasty, and would also serve as an excellent springboard for the Great Qin to expand eastward and strengthen its power.
Is this information accurate?
Although Sima Cuo was already mostly convinced, he still asked cautiously.
"It is absolutely true. We are willing to stake our lives on it. Yanzhou is now vulnerable, which is the best time for our Great Qin to advance."
The spy nodded solemnly. Intelligence that could be brought directly to the army about to attack had naturally been confirmed several times by the Black Ice Guard.
"Good, you have made great contributions. When the Great Qin returns in triumph, you will be richly rewarded."
Upon hearing this, Sima Cuo was overjoyed, but his years of battlefield experience quickly suppressed his joy, and he spoke in a deep voice.
The spies obeyed and quickly disappeared into the vast night.
Sima Cuo immediately summoned his generals, including the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge, to begin planning the next course of action.
"Gentlemen, a golden opportunity has arrived. Yan Province is currently lacking in military strength, and it is the time for our Great Qin to display its might."
"I have decided to immediately divide our forces into three routes and, with lightning speed, conquer more cities in Yan Province."
Sima Cuo's eyes shone brightly as he surveyed the assembled generals.
"Qin Shi, Bai Xiang, and Kong Jin, the three of you will each lead a team and serve as the vanguard."
"Remember, we must act swiftly and decisively, and capture as many cities as possible before the Red Imperial Army of Yan Province can react."
"This battle is not only about the glory of the Qin Dynasty, but also about the fame and fortune of each and every one of us."
As he spoke, he looked at Qin Shi, Bai Xiang, and Kong Jin, his tone filled with expectation. He knew that for these three rough men from Lion Camel Ridge, national glory and such were all meaningless; only fame and fortune were real to them.
"General Sima, rest assured, I, Qin Shi, will certainly take the lead and expand the territory of Great Qin!"
As expected, upon hearing this, a look of excitement immediately flashed in Qin Shi's eyes. He patted his chest and said proudly.
"I will follow my elder brother and serve the Qin Dynasty together, and I will never let the general down!"
The white elephant followed closely behind, laughing as well.
"Haha, this time it's finally my turn, Kong Jin, to show my skills! The banner of Great Qin will surely be planted in every corner of Yan Province!"
Kong Jin waved his spear, so excited he almost jumped up.
Sima Cuo looked at the three generals before him, full of fighting spirit, and felt gratified.
Although these three men have different personalities and are sometimes even a bit reckless, their martial arts skills are genuine. Coupled with the powerful fighting force of the Qin army, Qin will surely win this battle!
"Alright, I'll leave it to you. Remember, the battlefield is unpredictable, so you must be flexible and adaptable, and never underestimate your enemy."
"Now, assemble the troops and set off immediately. Target: Yan Province!"
Sima Cuo nodded, then loudly encouraged the Great Qian general behind the three men.
With a command given, the Qin army sprang into action, their iron hooves pounding the dust of the border, war drums beating silently in their hearts, and the black dragon banners fluttering in the night wind.
Qin Shi, Bai Xiang, and Kong Jin each led a team of men, like three sharp knives, plunging straight into the heart of Yanzhou.
...
Of the three, Kong Jin, the fastest, rode his warhorse Yuncheng Wanliju, streaking across the sky like lightning, and was the first to approach a city called "Fengyan City" on the border of Yanzhou.
The latest work by author Mu Jin Bai Yi, "I Summon Famous Generals from All History in Another World," is exclusively published on KeLe Novels!
Fengyan City, whose name implies being as steadfast as a raging fire and as impregnable as a fortress, is, in Kong Jin's eyes at this moment, nothing more than a glorious addition to his record of achievements.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Kong Jin's armor, reflecting a shimmering golden light that complemented the brilliant golden aura surrounding him, making him appear like a god descending to earth.
At this moment, Kong Jin's eyes gleamed with excitement. He took a deep breath of the crisp air, and his blood seemed to boil.
He gripped the Nine Heavens Chaos Halberd tightly, and the halberd seemed to come alive in his hands, radiating a chilling killing intent.
With a deep roar, Kong Jin's surging internal energy erupted instantly, enveloping him in a brilliant golden light, like a dazzling sun illuminating the path ahead.
"drive!"
With a loud shout from Kong Jin, Yuncheng Wanliju seemed to understand its master's intention. Its four hooves took off, and its speed increased even more. The two were like an unstoppable hurricane, raising dust wherever they went.
Even though they were still several hundred steps away from the city, Kong Jin could already clearly see the panicked figures on the city wall and the city gate that was not yet fully closed.
Before the defenders on the city wall could react, a golden light flashed, and Kong Jin had already arrived at the foot of the city.
As the distance closed, the internal energy within Kong Jin surged even more fiercely, and the brilliant golden light almost materialized, forming swirling vortexes around him. He gently trembled the Nine Heavens Chaos Halberd in his hand, and the tip of the halberd pointed towards the sky.
"drink!"
Kong Jin suddenly let out a deafening roar, his figure shooting out like an arrow released from a bow. The Nine Heavens Chaos Halberd transformed into a golden streak of light, heading straight for the city gate of Fengyan City.
Along the way, the guards who tried to stop him were easily blown away like scarecrows by Kong Jin's powerful aura, their heads flying and blood splattering everywhere. None of them could withstand his sharp edge.
"Ding! Kong Jin's skill 'Air Severing' and 'Feather God' have been activated!"
Kong Jin's current base attack power is 108, his weapon is the Nine Heavens Halberd +1, his warhorse is the Cloud Chaser Steed +1, his skill Breaking the Void grants +6 attack power upon activation, and his skill Feather God grants +8 attack power upon activation.
Kong Jin's current combat strength has increased to 130!
Without stopping, Kong Jin used the momentum of the Cloud Journey Steed to become one with the halberd, transforming into a golden lightning bolt and crashing into the city gate that was not yet fully closed.
With a deafening roar, the city gate shattered instantly under the immense impact, sending splinters flying and dust billowing everywhere. It was as if even the heavens and earth trembled. The guards behind the city gate were also thrown about by the force, creating chaos.
Once the city gates were breached, Kong Jin charged in like a wild horse, his Nine Heavens Chaos Halberd wielding itself with impenetrable force, each strike carrying earth-shattering power.
Wherever the golden aura passed, whether it was a sturdy city wall or an enemy's armor, it was as fragile as paper and utterly vulnerable.
The Qin army behind them was equally ferocious, following closely behind Kong Jin's steps, surging into Fengyan City like a tide. Each soldier was clad in black armor, wielding sharp blades, their eyes gleaming with fanaticism, and the Qin's dark black dragon battle flag fluttered in the wind.
The city's defenders were caught off guard. They had thought the sturdy city gates would hold out for a while, but they were breached in the blink of an eye.
In their panic, they organized a defense, but faced with the overwhelming Qin army, everything seemed so pale and powerless.
The Qin soldiers were well-trained and coordinated perfectly. The infantry, armed with long spears, formed an impenetrable defensive line like a dense forest, while countless Qin crossbowmen positioned themselves behind the main army, raining down arrows with triangular arrowheads, accurately killing the Red Imperial Guards guarding the city gate.
