The Heaven and Earth Dragon Spear

The General's Anger

Lan City is divided into two, namely northern Lan and southern Lan. Northern Lan was used as the defense wall of the northern Qin Province, directly adjacent to the eastern sea region. While southern Lan, the place was inhabited by civilians and some Qin soldiers.

The warrior Ji Feng belonged to the Yin empire that guarded the eastern border of the Yin empire was in the Ming city.

Before Qin Guan stepped down from the position of the young general, Ji Feng's forces stood guard in Lan city along with some of Qin's soldiers, while Ming city was only guarded by dozens of thousands of Ji Feng's soldiers.

However, two months ago, general Huaihuang received an edict from emperor Yin Shi containing an order to change the defense on the eastern line. Lan City would be the main task of the Qin army, while the entire Ji Feng warriors were drawn to Ming city.

Initially Qin Guan objected because it would make Qin soldiers face to face with the enemy if the east sea carried out an attack while the main imperial army instead became a relief force.

However, Qin Guan's refusal was meaningless in the emperor's eyes. With the issuance of the emperor's highest military medal, General Huaihuang could only nod and carry out his duties while Qin Guan could only resignedly accept his fate.

Upon Qin Guan's return from Weida, he was appointed the new governor and began to carry out his duties. Some economic matters he devotes to his loyal officials while strengthening the military side with General Zhao.

After the Qin army recruitment was shut down many years ago, Qin Guan has now re-hired new recruits and increased the number of Qin soldiers by fifty thousand, in other words, more, the current number of Qin warriors was almost double that of the Yin empire.

The entire imperial army numbered two hundred and twenty thousand personnel, seventy thousand of whom were in the imperial city. The rest spread across the border.

Although each region had a local warrior, its abilities would not be comparable to Qin warriors. Just count every single province there were ten thousand warriors, but they were all not much different from ordinary people due to the lack of battle experience. In contrast to the Qin warriors who were often used as relief troops and passed through many doors of death.

General Chen wrote a letter to general Huaihuang in Ming city, asking soldier Ji Feng to be careful and more alert to every slightest movement. With the best courier he had, the letter arrived at Ming city in a single day.

Brak!

A wooden table was split in two by the rampage of General Huaihuang. The middle-aged man went berserk after reading a letter from General Chen. His face smeared and his breath hunted like a storm in the middle of an uninhabited wasteland.

"How can you?"

What can't?

The people outside the tent looked puzzled when they heard their superiors go berserk. Although the condition of his heart is not good lately, General Huaihuang is a person who is good at self-control.

Inside the tent, General Huang sat with a lightning-like glare, his hands clutching the handle of the chair until his nails were carved out leaving marks.

"That child ..that child is so insolent!" indignant General Huaihuang. "How could he write such nonsense? I'm here day and night always on guard, seeing nothing, how could he sitting behind a desk know everything? Did he think he was the Sky Pavilion Young Master who knew it all?

As General Huaihuang was trying to calm himself in a state of turmoil, a voice that was familiar to him, the voice of one who had fought together for dozens of years. Liu Qing, a teenager who looked ordinary a few years ago, now grew up to be a mighty and authoritative adult man.

"Let him in!" shouted General Huaihuang from the tent. Liu Qing's bellowing voice made him a little calm but also worried.

The curtain unfolded, appearing the figure of an early thirty-year-old man, using silver armor with a head protection flanked on his armpits. The red tassels on the head shields danced as the warm wind swept over them.

"Liu Qing wants to report to General Huaihuang!" Liu Qing clenched his hands in front of his chest and his body slightly bowed.

General Huaihuang nodded and asked Liu Qing to immediately explain what he wanted to say.

"Some time ago, from the western wall was seen the movement of the Northern Song, the number of the front row of the opposing army numbered about ten thousand people and all of them were cavalry soldiers (horsemen). There was a large army behind him, around seventy to ninety thousand troops. Please General Huaihuang give the order!"

The new General Huaihuang was feeling calm now his heart was beating much faster. Although his premonition was not very good when he heard Liu Qing's arrival, but he did not expect that the news Liu Qing delivered was much worse than he had imagined.

Without answering a single word, General Huaihuang grabbed his spear and helmet before taking Liu Qing away to the city wall.

The usually peaceful Ming City, now looked so busy. Residents living in the west were immediately displaced for fear that they might be targeted.

The soldiers prepared to wear battle clothes, began to collect stones and stack them on top of the city walls, he said, about two thousand Ji Feng soldiers who were not on the city walls immediately walked through the houses in the west that had been abandoned by the residents to take oil supplies as additional weapons.

As the number of stones collected on the western wall was still lacking, then Liu Qing as the field commander asked some soldiers to tear down the residence's perimeter wall.

Half an hour passed, the soldier standing guard at the highest point of the city wall shouted, resuscitating his comrades who were busy making preparations.

"Five hundred feet more!"

Hundreds of archers immediately climbed onto the city walls with iron bows and bow baskets filled to the brim, followed by similarly numbered armored warriors following behind him.

General Huaihuang sat down and watched the entire movement both on the other side and his side. The fieldwork he left to Liu Qing who was running to and fro like a whirlwind in the desert.

Spear warriors also climbed onto the city walls, following the archer soldiers and protectors.

The city gate was sealed shut, with thick beams as an additional key. Ordinary breakers would not be able to destroy it unless the other party had a stone cannon of destruction.

Stone crushing cannons, heavy weapons that could destroy solid stone walls if they had sufficient amount of stones as bullets.
