h the military campaign.”"Sending troops is definitely possible, it's just a matter of the cost."Li Chen, after all, was the Crown Prince regent. As for Da Qin, it was extremely sensitive about imperi...Chapter 1785: Respect Your Opponent
But it was precisely because of Yelu Shenxuan's excellence and brilliance that his evaluation of Li Chen at this time became even more touching.
“I would never deny the strength of my enemies. If all my enemies were pigs and dogs, that would be an insult to me. Only someone like Li Chen is worthy of being my opponent. Every time I fight him, I feel my blood boiling. This feeling is something no one my age on the grasslands can give me anymore.”
Ye Lu Shen Xuan's tone was complex. He turned to look towards Suiyang County, and said in a low voice: "When I went to the capital city, it was indeed reckless and risky. That time was his best chance to kill me, the easiest opportunity for him to succeed. But he missed it, he will never have such a good opportunity again, and what awaits him is only death."
His voice dropped, and Yelv Shenxuan's eyes flashed like lightning as he said, "The more exciting it is to face someone like this, the more I want to kill him quickly, not giving him any chance to develop or turn things around. The foundation and potential of Da Qin are truly terrifying. The Central Plains region, with its abundant resources and brilliant people, will always be the heart of the entire world. The grasslands may be vast, but they can never compare to the prosperity and abundance of the Central Plains."
"Such a place, such a prince, if he were allowed to develop peacefully for another ten or twenty years, then all that awaited Liao would be annihilation."
"Now, can you understand why I'm so eager"
Xiao Tiannan came back to his senses from the shock, nodding with difficulty.
"Understood."
Yelü Shenxuan raised his hand and said indifferently, "Pass the order down, the entire army advances at full speed and attacks Suiyang County!"
Orders were issued, and the earth shook like mountains collapsing, seas roaring.
In fact, without much urging from Yelü Shenxuan, the Liao army themselves realized that their supplies were critically low. With no hope of support from the rear, their only option was to give it their all and charge forward. As long as they broke through the Qin army's final line of defense, then their fortunes would instantly turn around.
The Liao army, like a surging flood, was unstoppable as it marched across the land. Along the way, the Qin army, seemingly aware that resisting the Liao at this point would be futile, had all retreated to their fortifications around Suiyang County, preparing for a battle of attrition.
Tens of miles passed in the blink of an eye.
The Liao army, a staggering three hundred and sixty thousand cavalry, assembled under the city walls of Suiyang County.
This time, Yelu Shenxuan did not appear, nor did Li Chen.
The two of them tacitly skipped the pointless verbal sparring and went straight to fisticuffs upon meeting.
No rest, direct assault.
Three hundred sixty thousand cavalrymen, enough to surround the entire Suiyang County in three layers, like an ironclad formation.
Under the charge like a black wave, Suiyang County was ready for battle, with Wu Banshan leading the way.
The first wave of attack involved five thousand troops attacking from each of the four city gates: east, south, west, and north, totaling 200,000 soldiers who charged towards Suiyang County.
Along the way, obstacles and ditches caused tens of thousands of casualties to the Liao army, but the Liao soldiers were fearless in death, stepping over their comrades' corpses to charge forward.
Such a valiant Liao army, even more brutal than when they previously attacked the Moonlit Pass.
This time their brutality is not just against the enemy, but also against themselves.
"Ready, set!"
A Qin army general roared, and behind him three thousand archers simultaneously launched arrows from their bows.
A hail of arrows rained down from the sky, three thousand shafts streaking through the air. They plunged into the snow with a relentless force, piercing the bodies of the Liao soldiers and their steeds alike.Chapter 507: Giving Medicine
