Late at night, Broken Leaf City.

Guo Xin stood at the city wall and looked at the flag of the Yara Empire floating on the horizon in the distance... At this time, the army from all over the Yara Empire had formed an encirclement of the Sailye City.

A veteran holding a jar of wine beside Guo Xin came over, poured the liquid in the jar into a bowl and handed it to Guo Xin.

This veteran is Zhang Yichao, the current deputy general of the Guiyi Army...

"I hope that boy can deliver the letter to the Central Plains." Guo Xin took the bowl handed over by Zhang Yichao, but his eyes were always at the Yara Empire flag flying on the other side of the horizon.

"But even if it can be delivered, the Han Dynasty has been willing to return to the Western Regions for the past three hundred years. We have already waited for reinforcements, but I'm afraid..." Zhang Yichao was not optimistic about the arrival of reinforcements.

But before he could finish speaking, Guo Xin remakes Zhang Yichao's shoulder with his hand.

"How could General Zhang be so self-disturbing in the day of the enemy's battle? Come on...it's better to drink! We can't tell you that we won't be able to drink tomorrow!"

What we drank was not wine... it was just clear water, and Zhang Yichao was speechless.

Suiye City had no alcohol to drink a hundred and eighty years ago. The supply in the city was exchanged by merchants from the Western Regions. However, the blockade of the Yara Empire has become increasingly severe recently, and now even ordinary food and grass is extremely difficult to obtain.

As the head coach of the Guiyi Army, Guo Xin is a powerful general who is nearly 1.9 meters tall, but he is over 300 years old at this time. He has been relying on his general star power for so many years.

Not only Guo Xin, the youngest soldier in Suye City is also in his sixties, and the average age of the Guiyi Army is over 60 years old... After guarding Suye City for so long, he has truly fallen into the situation of "a lonely city with white hair all over the city".

"Besides, that kid can go back alone. He was born on this frontier. It would be a pity if he had never seen the wealth of my Central Plains in his life." Guo Xin said a little melancholy.

"That general...have you ever remembered the scenery of the Qin and Han dynasties in the Central Plains?" Zhang Yichao asked inadvertently.

"Even if I die, I will never forget it. At that time, the reign of Qin and Han Dynasties was still Zhenghe. I followed King Wu to fight westward, and King Wu personally issued an edict to guard this place. But I can't remember it clearly in the middle and then in the back."

Guo Xin also knew that this was Zhang Yichao helping him deepen his memory. His star "Zhenming" had the ability to speed up the recovery of soldiers' injuries, while reducing the consumption of food and grass for soldiers and extending their lifespan.

But once applied, if you leave the field covered by the star, there will be great side effects outside.

Another side effect is that you will lose your memory. The more you suffer, the more you will rely on the power of Jiangxing to restore the lost memory.

Many of the soldiers in the city who have been defending for so many years can’t even remember who their wives are, but they can’t forget where they come from, where their roots are, and what they do here.

"Report!"

At this time, a commissar suddenly ran to the top of the city and shouted loudly.

"Two generals! The Persian enemy formation was in chaos in the distance! It seems that someone broke the formation in the rear."

"Someone is breaking the formation? This is a military formation formed by nearly 10,000 people, is it..."

What Zhang Yichao was thinking about was that under his shocked gaze, a black dragon flag of Qin and Han dynasties suddenly rose from the Yala Empire military formation in the distance.

An army that seemed to have only a few hundred people broke into the enemy formation and directly broke out into a bloody road and was heading towards Thunder Ye City.

"Reinforcements... are reinforcements coming!"

The defenders on the top of the city of Thunder Ye City woke up instantly when they saw the black dragon flag, and cheers like dreams began to spread throughout the city wall.

This joy was because they had been waiting for decades for reinforcements finally arrived, and the other was that they were finally able to return home in glory in their lifetime.

"Open the city gate!" Guo Xin made a quick decision to issue an order to the defenders down.

"General! What if this is the plan of those Persians..." Zhang Yichao still found it difficult to believe that the black dragon flag that appeared on the horizon in the distance was real.

"Can you kill the enemy formation so hard and flesh? Open the city gate! I will go down to welcome those brothers who have not seen in a century!"

At this moment, Guo Xin was completely infected by the restlessness of the reinforcements. Under Zhang Yichao's shocked gaze, he turned over and jumped down from the city wall, and landed in front of the slowly opened gate of the city where Thunder Ye City was slowly opening.

At this moment, Guo Xin pulled out a saber and looked at the Qin and Han troops who were rushing towards here in the distance, as well as the Yala Empire cavalry who were pursuing this troops in the rear.

"I'm in the commander of the Guiyi Army! Guo Xin! I'm asking for the name of the general!" Guo Xin raised his voice, so that he could hear his yelling in front of the entire Thunder Ye City.

"Zhao Lian, the general of the White Scale Army in the Qin and Han Dynasties!"

After Zhao Lian reported the troops she belonged to, she also had a close relationship with Guo Xin and directly led the breakthrough troops to pass by Guo Xin.

"Okay! Guo and the generals of Guiyi Army..."

As soon as he passed by, Guo Xin laughed happily and then held the slashing saber with his hands. With the blade slashing out an arc, the Yala cavalry who was chasing and overturning the chasing Yala cavalry and his horse to the ground. Then Guo Xin turned around and looked at Zhao Lian and said... the three words he had been waiting for a hundred years.

"I've been waiting for a long time!"

…………

Qin Zhen was discussing the current situation in the Guiyi Army's tent in Zhao Lian's manner. Zhang Liao, who was the deputy general of Zhao Lian, was now looking at the Guiyi Army general in the tent and was a little dazed.

"Liao, you are distracted." Qin Zhen whispered.

"The last general was just thinking... everything he saw since entering the city was full of white-haired soldiers. If the soldiers here were transferred to the Central Plains, they would have already been discharged from their armor and returned home to their old age." Zhang Liao said.

"We do have many soldiers who want to go back to their hometown to meet old friends, but the premise is that they can win this battle... So how many reinforcements have the two Qin Han sent here now?"

Guo Xin took his deputy general Zhang Yichao into the tent and looked at Zhao Lian and Zhang Liao... The more he looked at him, the more he was more relieved that Qin Han had really emerged.

Zhao Lian and Zhang Liao just look at their temperament and can be seen that both of them are generals and coaches at the level of ten thousand enemies.

"Now we are only more than 400 people in the camp."

Zhang Liao said a number that made the Guiyi Army soldiers in the big tent a little confused.

"More than 400 people... are they the advance troops, and the Qin and Han troops will arrive later?" Zhang Yichao asked in confusion.

Zhang Liao felt the earnest eyes of the Guiyi Army predecessors, so he had to truthfully adapt the current situation of Qin and Han dynasties, and the plan of Qin Town and the cross-sky gate of Kucha City are now being rebuilt. It takes at least one month to wait for the real reinforcements to arrive.

This news made the expressions of the generals of the Guiyi Army in the tent become extremely solemn.

"So the more rational decision now is... the soldiers of the Guiyi Army gave up the Shuye City first, retreated from the Shuye City to Kucha City, and waited for the repair of the Cross-Sky Gate to be completed... and then came back with the Qin and Han army."

Qin Zhen gave the first plan he thought of along the way, but this plan to abandon the city and protect himself was surprising... The generals of Guiyi Army in the big tent did not show too many resistance expressions on their faces, but...

"This young general Liao mentioned before that Emperor Qin is now the successor of the king of China. Is it the General Lian in front of him?" Guo Xin noticed some abnormalities on Zhao Lian.

"It turned out to be the current emperor?" This speculation made the generals of Guiyi Army in the tent unable to calm down. They knelt down to Zhao Lian one after another, but Qin Zhen still made a role in asking them to invite them quickly.

"This is not the true form of the emperor, but just because the emperor's general star possesses General Lian, and uses it to communicate with the generals. Let me tell you General Guo Xin... what do you think about the decision to withdraw troops from Suoye City for the time being?" Qin Zhen asked.

"Reporting to the emperor, there is also a complete gate crossing the sky in the Thunder Ye City. The generals of the Guiyi Army guarded the Heavenly Gate left by King Wu of Qin. However, this gate has not been known since then... they no longer recognize the bloodline of the Qin and Han Dynasties."

After learning about Qin Zhen’s identity as the emperor, Guo Xin directly told Qin Zhen about the hidden secret.

"Don't recognize the bloodline of the Qin and Han Dynasties... I'm afraid it's not a problem with the cross-sky gate, but the dragon veins here are not recognized."

Qin Zhen almost immediately thought of the reason after learning about this, it was because the Suoye City in later generations was no longer in the territory of the Celestial Empire, but in a Central Asian country called Kyrgyzstan.

In addition, the Yara Empire has occupied the surrounding area of ​​Shuye City for many years, and no matter in later generations or the dragon veins here today, it no longer believes that this place belongs to the territory of the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Therefore, the Tianmen of Shuye City cannot be activated by the bloodline of Qin and Han dynasties.

"Then the guess below is probably correct. If the Thunder Ye City was captured by those Persians, then the Persian army would probably be able to rely on the Tianmen here... to invade the Central Plains! So His Highness... It is not that the Guiyi generals did not want to retreat, but they could not retreat!" Guo Xin said.

"Then you have thought about it. General Lian made a rough calculation when breaking through the siege. Yara or the Persian siege army had at least 100,000, and had enough troops and enough food..."

Qin Zhen recalled the almost endless Yara Empire Expedition Army that Zhao Lian saw when he broke through the siege. They probably took advantage of the opportunity to start a large-scale expedition when civil strife in Europe began.

The first battle of the Eastern Expedition was Shuye City, which they regarded as a thorn in their eyes. As long as they captured Shuye City, they could rely on the dragon vein nodes of Shuye City to build the Tianmen to advance to the Central Plains.

"So even if the generals of the Guiyi army rely on the dangerous land of Shuye City, the defenders in the city, including the more than 400 people in the camp, are only 3,000. Such a huge gap in troops... it will cost a huge price to defend."

The second half of Qin Zhen’s words made Guo Xin’s eyes lit up, because the second half of Qin Zhen’s words do not mean that they cannot hold on, but that they have to pay a huge price.

"Then Your Highness...but what can I think of the way to defend the city against the 100,000 Persian army?"

The reason why Guo Xin believed in Qin Zhen’s plan so much was that in the chaos in the Central Plains described by Zhang Liao, Qin Zhen was completely the wise man who promoted the reunification of the Central Plains behind the scenes.

Although Zhang Liao did not say the details in detail, his admiration for Qin Zhen can still be heard from his words. He admires the current emperor very much for his outstanding people like Zhang Liao, so the current emperor must not be simple.

"Of course I'm asking the general to offer... Cough! I heard that the general's star can extend the lifespan of the soldiers and speed up the healing of injuries in front of the formation?" Qin Zhen asked.

"That is, the star below is the 'Shenzhen', which is all in the expedition with King Wu of Qin during the Western Expedition! However, this star has a side effect. Although the injury of the star who is subjected to the star can be cured very quickly, it will be at the cost of a certain memory! However, people have many kinds of memories and are added every day, so as long as the war is not frequent, the impact is not great."

Guo Jun even said this as a joke.

"I still remember the appearance of King Wu of Qin and the eldest princess, and the appearance of King Wu of Qin when the eldest princess scolded King Wu of Qin."

"It turns out that King Wu still has this side, let's not talk about this... If the general says that this emperor can further strengthen your general star, so that the general star of life can allow you... and the soldiers under your command can truly reach an immortal state, can you have the ability to wipe out the 100,000 Persian army?"

"Immortality..." Guo Xin murmured this word that was somewhat transcendent to imagination, even in this world with the stars of the general, it was unimaginable. But "If you can really be immortal, the sword will be harmed, let alone hundreds of thousands! Even a million-strong one will never be afraid!"

"But as a price, the memories of the soldiers of the Guiyi Army and even themselves will be burned out in the battle on the battlefield, and they will eventually become unconscious souls! By then, the soldiers of the Guiyi Army... will really never go back."

Qin Zhen's words made the Guiyi army in the tent fall into a long silence again, and in the end, Zhang Yichao spoke out and broke the silence.

"If Sailye City can return to the Qin and Han dynasties! Then this place is our hometown... Even if we stick to this place forever, we will have no complaints!"

Zhang Yichao didn't look like Guo Xin. He was a general born in Suoye City. Although he wanted to go back to see what the hometown of the Central Plains was like, once the Western Regions were ruled by the Qin and Han dynasties, then... he didn't need to go back. This is the hometown of the Qin and Han dynasties.

Zhang Yichao's words seemed to have infected the Guiyi soldiers present, and then the voice of "No resentment!" echoed throughout the tent.

Guo Xin didn't know what to say, so she advised the soldiers not to be impulsive.

"General Guo Xin..." Qin Zhen turned his gaze on Guo Xin again.

"Please give your order to the emperor!"

Guo Xin has lived for these three hundred years, and he has indeed lived enough... The only obsession with survival now is probably to hand over this city back to the hands of the Qin and Han dynasties and tell all the countries in the nine continents that this Western Regions is the territory of our Han Dynasty no matter how many years it took.

"Then the name of Guiyi Army will one day resound throughout the nine continents of the world."

Qin Zhen has already figured out how to let those guys who dare to get involved in the ruins of the sky experience the fear experienced by the army of the Yala Empire thousands of years ago, the immortal army of souls... and the fear of being killed by 100,000 people.
