Western Region, Dawan.

Chen Shang squinted his eyes, looked at the stretching snow-capped mountains, and spat.

Behind him, more than a dozen soldiers looked at him helplessly.

After Chen Shang spat, he sighed again: "Tell me, why is this damn place covered with ice and snow in summer?"

"It's too cold at high places," said a famous soldier.

"Bi Jiu, you are a good guy. I have read some books recently, and you still say that it is too cold at high places..." Chen Shang laughed and scolded.

"Uh, lord, should we go back to Yucheng City?" said the soldier named Bi Jiu.

"What the hell are you going back for?" Chen Shang cursed.

His current location is among the snow-capped mountains south of Dayuan Guishan City. Because there are endless snow-capped mountains here, even the locals have not given names to these mountains.

This area is between the three forces of Daqin, Lixuan and Quanrong. The scouts from the three parties have been fighting here for two years. Chen Shang came here after Zhao He returned to the Central Plains and became the leader of the Daqin scouts.

. He was brave and brave, and he did not hesitate to take his own life. He was deeply loved by the soldiers. He also helped Yu Long and Qi Hu a lot.

The reason why he refused to go back was that Qinghe was here.

After all, Qinghe is the Queen of Khotan and cannot leave Khotan for a long time, so she will come to Dawan to look for him every six months or so, but Chen Shang avoids her every time. The relationship between the two has become like this, after all, it is still Chen Shang

He felt sorry for Qinghe. Previously, Qinghe cooperated with Xie Nan to deceive Zhao He secretly. Although Zhao He did not go into details, Chen Shang himself knew it clearly. This guilt made him angry at Qinghe, and he refused to do so for two years.

Meet the person.

Qinghe also knew why he was angry. The matter even alarmed Zhao He. Zhao He wrote a letter to mediate, but Chen Shang still did not accept it.

"It will be dangerous if we go any further," Bi Jiu reminded Chen Shang.

"What are you afraid of? If you want to die, it will last for tens of thousands of years." Chen Shang said something rude.

Immediately, his eyes narrowed and he looked towards the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

"What is that?" he asked suddenly.

The rest of the soldiers also looked at him one after another, and their faces suddenly changed.

But I saw black lines running down the snowy mountains in the distance, faster than a galloping horse!

"Enemy attack!" someone exclaimed, "How is this possible!"

These mountains are not suitable for large armies to march, so they have always been the place where a small number of scouts operate, just for reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance. No party regards these mountains as its main attack route.

But now, judging from the size of the black line coming down from the snow-capped mountains, there are tens of thousands of people on the other side, definitely not a handful of scouts!

Regardless of whether the visitors were the Quanrong people or the Lixuan people, why did they choose this attack route? How did they get tens of thousands of troops to climb over the snow-capped mountains and appear in this direction?

Chen Shang turned the horse's head and his face became extremely ugly.

This nameless mountain itself is a natural barrier, protecting the fragile communication line between Dawan and Daqin. Since Zhao He stabilized the situation in the Central Plains, this communication line has prospered again. Dawan, within a mere country, can

The key to blocking the alternating attacks of the Quanrong people and the Lixuan people, or even blocking the joint attacks of both sides, is the continuous blood transfusion of this communication line.

This is also the reason why Chen Shang appears here: the most important task of the scouts under his command is to prevent small groups of enemies from harassing communication lines. But the current changes have made him have to face large-scale enemy forces.

Rather than a small team.

He only has these ten people in his hands.

Under such circumstances, of course Chen Shang would not face the enemy head-on. The only correct choice was to run back on horseback.

At this time, the enemy was still far away from them. He turned back and ran quickly, but was unexpectedly caught up by the enemy. On the horseback, Chen Shang looked solemn and kept thinking about why the enemy appeared here.

Also, who are the enemies coming from this group?

Their team ran away for several miles, and at this moment, several riders suddenly emerged from another valley in front of them.

When the two sides discovered each other, they were already very close. Chen Shang reacted the fastest and bent his bow to shoot, but the other party suddenly shouted in Canine Rong language: "Fire Demon, the Fire Demon is coming!"

This shout made Chen Shang slightly raise his hand and shoot the arrow into the sky.

"What?" he asked in a deep voice.

At this time, his personal guards had already surrounded him, surrounding the horsemen in the middle.

The riders had high noses and deep eyes, and curly hair. There was a look of panic on their faces. The man at the head shouted in Dog Rong dialect: "It's the fire demon. The fire demon climbed over the mountains and came here!"

Chen Shang suddenly turned back and looked at the black line in the snowy mountains.

"Is it the fire demon?" he asked loudly.

The leader of the Lixuan man was furious: "What did I lie to you for? The fire demon is here... damn the Quanrong people!"

But his scolding wasn't over yet, and then he heard someone scolding: "Damn Lixuan people!"

However, several more horses came out from another valley. The clothes of these horses were obviously Quanrong people.

The thought in Chen Shang's mind suddenly changed, and his color suddenly changed: "Damn the Lixuan people and the Quanrong people!"

The Lixuan people and the Quanrong were allies, but at this time, the scouts from both sides were accusing and yelling at each other, which made Chen Shang realize that both sides were probably thinking the same thing.

It should be noted that when Zhao He controlled Dayuan, he sent Lian Yusheng, and Fan Ling managed Tianzhu, blocking both the Lixuan people and the Quanrong people in the western part of the Qin Dynasty. The Quanrong people could only look for pasture in the bitter and cold north, while the Li people

The Xuan people fell into the chaos of Tianzhu, and it is said that it also caused a huge plague. The original plan of the two to enter the Qin Dynasty was disrupted, but the fire demon's pursuit of them did not stop. Therefore, both sides invariably gave birth to

With the intention of diverting misfortune to the east, they deliberately opened a passage to allow the fire demon to come eastward.

But the thoughts of both parties cannot be explained clearly. After all, the alliance between Li Xuan and Quan Rong can still be maintained because of the powerful foreign enemy Fire Demon. Therefore, when the Fire Demon really breaks through Li Xuan and Quan Rong

Behind the lines of defense, they immediately started blaming each other.

Naturally, this accusation could not be hidden from Chen Shang.

Chen Shang's eyes flashed fiercely and he made a gesture.

Then he immediately rushed out on horseback and stabbed the leader, Li Xuanren, off his horse with one blow.

The personal guards who followed him passed by the Lixuan people and the Quanrong people like a wind. These Lixuan people and the Quanrong people were also wary of them. Therefore, after a brief battle between the two sides, the Lixuan people and the Quanrong people were all

Although the Qin people fell, they also suffered nearly one-third of the casualties.

The Qin people put their companions on their horses, regardless of whether they were dead or alive, including Chen Shang, who was also carrying a wounded man who fell from the horse. A Lixuan man who was seriously injured but not dead gasped and stared at Chen Shang: "You...

You...the fire demon is the enemy of everyone..."

He spoke vaguely, but Chen Shang understood what he meant. Chen Shang said with a sullen face: "Nai Weng is the chief of the four evils in Xianyang. Nai Weng has never thought about the overall situation in his life, only thinking about his own pleasure. You dogs are like

The barbarians are so inferior that they indulged the fire demon... Even though he knows that he can only fight the fire demon by joining hands with you, Nai Weng must be happy first!"

He said it in Qin language, which the Lixuan people couldn't understand at all, but they didn't need to understand. Just from his expression, the Lixuan people already understood what he meant.

After finishing speaking, Chen Shang urged his horse, and they began to run forward quickly. Not long after they left, the fire demons like a swarm of insects had already swarmed here.

The Lixuan people and the Quanrong people, who had not yet completely expired, watched helplessly as the fire demon came in front of them.

These fire demons were once humans, but at this time, although they still wore clothes and maintained human form, in the eyes of the Lixuan people and the Quanrong people, they were no longer human.

They also don't think of themselves as human beings.

Chen Shang looked back while running.

Strictly speaking, the move he ordered to kill Li Xuan and Quan Rong Scout was a bit unwise. This not only caused casualties to his own side, but more importantly, delayed their actions and brought the fire demon closer to them.

Half.

He saw the fire demon carrying the Lixuan people and the Quanrong people - dead or alive, which made Chen Shang's pupils shrink violently.

The fire demons definitely don't have such good intentions. The purpose of carrying the Lixuan people and Quanrong people up is not to rescue or bury them. They regard these humans as food reserves!

After all, with such a large army coming over mountains and ridges, its logistical supplies will definitely be difficult. As far as Chen Shang knows, the fire demons do not have high requirements for logistical supplies. When necessary, they will also treat people as food.

It seems that the news I got before is true.

While looking back, Chen Shang roughly estimated the number of fire demons. The mountains were still a huge obstacle for the fire demons. The number of them coming over the mountains and ridges was about 20,000 to 30,000.

But this number does not reassure Chen Shang. He knows the destination of these fire demons very well.

Yu Chengcheng!

If the Fire Demon captures Yucheng City, it can cut off the supply channel of the Dawan Qin army. It can also use it as a base to meet the Fire Demon who continue to come over the mountains from behind. When the number reaches a certain level, they will use Yucheng as a forward fortress to attack the Western Regions.

The lands in the Western Regions under the jurisdiction of the Duhufu.

Previously, the main force of the Qin army was in Guishan, and the Second Division was facing off against the Quanrong people. The number of defenders in Yucheng City was only two thousand. This number of troops was enough to defend against the harassment of a small group of scouts, but it could not withstand two to three people.

A fire demon that is no longer human.

Thinking of this, Chen Shang became more and more anxious.

The soldiers who followed him also realized this, so they all remained silent and just urged their horses to run as fast as they could.

Those fire demons were running like flying in the mountains. The horses still had to choose a path, but they often rolled down the mountain directly. Although during this process, Chen Shang saw with his own eyes that some fire demons fell to death due to this, but

Other fire demons didn't care at all about the death of their companions, or in other words, they just picked up their companions' corpses and continued jumping down from the mountain until they themselves fell into corpses.

They also use their companions as food reserves!

What would be the consequences if these monsters with no humanity to speak of broke into Yucheng City and into Da Qin?
