Chapter 312 The Last Chance
Chapter 312 The Last Chance
Barbarian Frontier.
Since sending Tubili away, the high priest Buma has gone here to take charge, just to prevent any sudden changes.
At the beginning, Bulma was full of confidence in the plan the two had discussed.
But for some reason, as time went by, Bulma couldn't help feeling a little panic in her heart.
Especially since it has been a whole day and I still haven't received any reply, I even sent spies to the other side of the Peacock River.
But he noticed that the other party did not show any sign of confusion.
Bulma couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
Could it be that something unexpected has happened this time?
"Calculating the time, His Highness should have already led his troops into the rear of the Qin Empire. Upon learning of this incident, the defenders would immediately turn around and rush to the rear to provide support!"
"But until now, there has been no sign of any movement, unless..."
Bulma muttered to herself, and finally her eyes suddenly changed. She stood up with a bang, and her body swayed.
Unless something goes wrong with the troops led by His Highness.
After all, that is the place of God's punishment!
Could it be that an accident really happened?
"That's 40,000 elite cavalrymen. For the entire barbarian nation, they are an absolutely formidable force. I just hope my worries are unnecessary. Please don't make any mistakes this time!"
Thinking of the end, Bulma could only sigh and return to her original position. She felt that her eyes had dimmed a lot.
But unexpectedly, at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the tent.
"Urgent report, there's movement from His Highness's side!"
Along with the sound, a messenger stumbled into the tent. Before he could get up, he spoke to Bulma breathlessly.
"High Priest, this is terrible!"
Hearing such a wailing, Bulma's whole body trembled, and she reacted immediately, walking slowly to the other party with a murderous expression.
"Tell me quickly, what happened!"
While speaking, Bulma slowly bent down and grabbed the other person's collar.
Faced with Bulma's momentum, the messenger stumbled and told the truth.
"Your Highness led 40,000 cavalrymen. They encountered an accident while crossing the Land of Birth. Without any warning, the snow on both sides of the canyon suddenly collapsed, burying everyone under the thick snow, even Your Highness..."
It's over, it's really over!
Upon hearing this news, Bulma's eyes dimmed and she stood up shakily.
It seemed as if he had aged a lot in an instant.
"Less than 10,000 troops returned this time. The rest were killed in the canyon!"
The messenger continued to speak, and this time, Bulma's cheeks instantly became flushed and turned red in an instant.
"puff……"
The next second, his mouth opened wide and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
At the same time, his body softened and he collapsed to the ground. He could no longer hear any sounds around him, only a burst of explosions!
It's over, it's all over now!
This war might be lost!
There were a total of 40,000 cavalrymen, but in the end less than 10,000 returned.
Is this really God's punishment for me?
Even the eldest prince died in the land of divine punishment.
A total of 30,000 people disappeared just like that.
Is it true that even God cannot tolerate the actions of the barbarians?
Otherwise, why would such punishment be bestowed?
"No, this isn't right. I've clearly led people into the Land of Divine Punishment and explored it more than once before, and each time there were no incidents at all. Why did we have to encounter it this time?"
At the end of her words, Bulma let out a scream, and her hair, which had been tied up together, fell apart, and she looked like a madman.
A series of shrill screams came out of his mouth.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, how is this possible!"
"This is definitely not divine punishment, it's definitely not God's displeasure with us!"
"It's Daqin, right? It must be them!"
"It was their evil plan. Otherwise, how could they have brought us to such an irreparable state?"
When Bulma finished speaking, she stood up, waving her hands, and a twisted look appeared in her pupils.
In just a moment, the whole process of the incident flashed in Bulma's mind like a movie.
He grasped the key point in just a moment!
That’s right, it was indeed a conspiracy of the Qin Dynasty!
It’s definitely them, there’s no doubt about it!
Those slaves who were let go before were deliberately let go by Song Yuan!
The only purpose is to let himself know the news about the Land of God's Punishment through the slaves' mouths. Only in this way can he lure himself into the trap!
Now, the eldest prince led his troops in a surprise attack, falling right into Song Yuan's evil plan.
Thinking of this, Bulma felt that her mind became much clearer.
How could it be so simple when all these coincidences come together?
This was clearly Song Yuan's evil plan, but who would have thought of it if they hadn't seen the result?
The entire barbarian tribe was once again calculated by Song Yuan!
Thinking of this, Bulma clenched her fists tightly and her teeth were grinding.
Considering the losses in the previous times, adding them all together, the barbarians have lost at least 60,000 soldiers and horses because of Song Yuan alone!
It’s because of him!
How could it possibly cause such great losses to the entire Barbarian Empire?
"puff……"
The high priest became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. In the end, he was unable to suppress the rage in his heart and spat out another stream of blood.
"High Priest?"
The personal guard beside him finally came to his senses at this moment, and hurried forward, extending his hand to support him while speaking.
"Get out of my way!"
The high priest expelled the people around him, then slowly walked forward, grabbed the messenger in front of him, and let out a shrill roar.
"Tell me again, describe it to me in detail, what exactly happened? What on earth happened!"
Faced with the high priest's crazy look, the messenger couldn't help feeling a little panic in his heart, and he bit the bullet and told the whole incident truthfully.
"I was originally assigned by His Highness to guard the rear, but who would have thought that just as the troops ahead were about to charge through the valley, a loud bang suddenly occurred!"
"I was so scared that I stood on tiptoe and looked into the canyon. I saw the snow on both sides of the canyon, just like it collapsed from the sky, burying everyone in it!"
"A loud noise, how could there be such a loud noise!" Bulma screamed miserably.
Faced with such doubts, the messenger shook his head in confusion: "I don't know either. The loud noise came so suddenly that I didn't even notice it at the time!"
"That sound, shaking the heavens and the earth, was clearly a divine punishment sent down from above. This was a directive from the gods..."
The barbarian tribes originally believed in various gods, and now, in panic, the messenger couldn't help but sigh.
The loud noise was really too strange and it was not thunder because there was no flash at that time.
Apart from divine punishment, the messenger could not find any other reason for a while.
But after hearing this, Bulma became furious and wanted to strangle the guy in front of him to death.
So many people died, but in the end we still can’t figure out the reason!
Without even seeing the enemy, they lost 30,000 elite soldiers.
What kind of confusing battle is this?
If this were to get out, the entire barbarian nation would probably become a laughing stock of the world.
What a shame!
Facing reality, Bulma forced herself to regain composure, took a few deep breaths, then suppressed the impulse in her heart and asked in a trembling voice.
"Besides informing me, has this matter been told to Khan?"
The messenger nodded with some helplessness.
When Bulma heard this, her body shook again, and it took a long time before she finally recovered.
However, when he stood up again, a sharp golden light suddenly appeared in his pupils, and he seemed to have become a lot younger.
His voice was filled with anger: "Now that things have come to this, there is no other choice. Pass the order down, slaughter the cattle and sheep, and reward each tribe today!"
"Not the high priest, why is that?"
When the personal guards beside him heard Bulma's order, a look of confusion appeared in their eyes.
They had clearly lost a battle, with nearly 30,000 troops lost, and even His Highness died in the avalanche.
The high priest did not feel any regret, but instead slaughtered cattle and sheep to celebrate.
Such behavior is tantamount to rebellion!
"Do as I command, go!"
But Bulma didn't bother to explain at this moment. He clenched his fists and exclaimed.
Seeing that he hesitated slightly for a moment, he finally turned around slowly and carried out his orders strictly.
Bulma then closed her eyes with some pain.
As he said, things have developed to this point and there is no other choice.
The three previous sneak attacks ended in disastrous failure.
Now that the whole thing has spread, it is definitely a serious blow to all his subordinates!
Especially since His Highness's death, once the news gets out, everyone's morale will probably drop to the lowest point.
However, in the short term, he was unable to boost morale through victory.
Right now, we can only choose to use this method to forcibly raise the price!
Thinking of the end, Bulma couldn't help but shook her head and sighed, with a bit of sadness in her eyes.
In the end, I just sat on the ground and let my tears flow down my cheeks.
There were no other thoughts in my mind, only chaos.
Faced with the current situation, even the high priest who had planned everything carefully couldn't help but feel a little powerless.
The barbarians were fully prepared for this battle, but in the end, they were short of food and supplies and had no advantage.
Although it was announced that the barbarians had an army of 300,000, in reality, all the troops added up to only numbered 150,000.
In addition to the three previous losses of troops and generals, even though a lot of young and strong people had been withdrawn from the tribe, it was still unable to recover to its original peak.
In contrast, the total number of casualties in the three wars of the Qin Dynasty was probably less than a thousand.
As one side gains strength while the other loses strength, the barbarians are now completely at a disadvantage. What can they use to fight against the Qin Dynasty in the future?
What can we use to fight against the Qin Dynasty?
If we continue to follow the previous development, delaying time and waiting until spring to give the Qin Dynasty a chance to catch its breath, by then, the barbarians will definitely be defeated!
Once spring comes, the barbarians will block the entire country.
Then we can’t afford to lose!
Thinking of this, Bulma forced herself to cheer up, clenched her fists tightly, and sighed.
"We must not wait until this day, absolutely not!"
Once the entire country is plunged into war, it will be equivalent to falling into complete madness.
Under madness, it is either sublimation or destruction.
Moreover, even if they win in the end, the overall national strength of the barbarians will decline a lot.
Even if we win, it will be a pyrrhic victory!
More importantly, the only reason why the barbarians can now fight against each other across the Peacock River is their manpower and horses.
But once spring comes and various tribes come to support, the other side will also have the natural barrier of Zhenbei City, and the barbarians will have even less confidence to fight.
Once spring comes, the barbarians will have completely lost the advantage of time and place.
So definitely don’t wait until then!
We must fight quickly and decisively, and completely defeat the enemy before spring comes!
As this thought came to mind, Bulma's back gradually straightened.
Sudden.
He was shocked and went back to the desk, picked up the brush and started writing.
At this moment, Bulma had only one thought in her mind.
Even though it has come to this, the barbarians have not lost yet!
The barbarians still have one last chance and room to fight back!
As long as this time succeeds, all previous losses can be made up.
Be sure to seize this opportunity!
