Chapter 902: Go and invite the immortal! (Take a moment to sort out your thoughts and return to Qianyuan.)

The three Qin armies, led by the three war gods of Lion Camel Ridge, won victory after victory and quickly captured cities and strongholds along the way.

The Qin army, holding high the black dragon flag, swept through many cities west of Yanzhou like a whirlwind. Relying on the extremely advanced tactics and weapons and equipment accumulated over the generations of the Qin Dynasty, the Chiyu Army west of Yanzhou, which was already extremely scarce, was simply unable to resist.

The indestructible spearman phalanxes formed an indestructible line of defense, which firmly resisted the counterattack of the Chiyu Army. The Qin heavy crossbowmen continued to fire arrows from the rear of the army to provide fire support for the infantry.

Relying on its unique spearman phalanx, the Qin army, relying on the phalanx formed by most of its infantry, pinned the 7,000-strong Chiyu cavalry stationed in the west of Yanzhou to the ground and beat them so hard that they doubted their lives.

Whenever the Chiyu cavalry tried to break through the formation, they would be stabbed back fiercely by the spearmen. The cavalry who tried to bypass the spearman formation would be fatally hit by the Qin heavy crossbowmen. They were stretched to the limit of ecstasy.

In the face of such powerful combat capability, the Chiyu Army stationed in the west of Yanzhou was unable to resist at all. They were defeated and fled in all directions under Daqian's powerful offensive.

The Qin army pursued the victory with great momentum, like three sharp swords cutting through Yanzhou's defense line. Wherever they went, they were invincible and quickly occupied many cities west of Yanzhou.

At the same time, just as the army of the Great Qin Dynasty was wreaking havoc in Yanzhou like a gust of wind sweeping away fallen leaves, attacking cities wantonly and raising smoke wherever they passed, in Yanwang City, the center of Yanzhou, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.

In Prince Yan's Palace, the two brothers of the Shi family, Shi Fuyan and Shi Fuchen, who had finally regained control of the entire Yanzhou, were now sitting upright in the conference room, their faces as gloomy as the calm before a storm.

An urgent military intelligence report came like a bolt from the blue, breaking this brief peace.

"Your Highness, something terrible is happening! The fierce army of the Qin Dynasty has invaded the west of Yanzhou and has already conquered dozens of cities in Yanzhou. They are unstoppable!"

The messenger was covered in dust and looked panicked. He knelt down on the ground as soon as he entered the room, handed the heavy secret report with both hands, and reported in a trembling voice.

Upon hearing this, Shi Fuyan stood up abruptly, clenched his hands into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force. Shi Fuchen's face also changed, and the teacup in his hand accidentally fell to the ground, breaking into pieces. He didn't even notice that the tea had splashed onto his clothes.

Although they knew that the Qin army was famous, they never expected that this storm would come so quickly.

Shi Fuyan held the thin piece of paper tightly in his hand, his fingertips trembling slightly, his eyes full of disbelief.

As the westernmost state of the Daqian Dynasty, they naturally knew about their neighbor, the Qin Dynasty.

But it is precisely because of this understanding that they deeply know that the Qin army is known for its bravery and good fighting skills, and its combat effectiveness is strong enough to make any enemy tremble in fear.

"This...how is this possible?"

Shi Fuchen muttered to himself, his face as pale as paper. Although he had successfully usurped the throne of King Yan, he knew in his heart that after so much turmoil in Yanzhou, the position he was sitting on was not actually stable.

Now, the invasion of the Qin army is undoubtedly adding insult to injury, making the already shaky situation in Yanzhou even more precarious.

Shi Fuyan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He looked around and saw that all the servants in the mansion looked panicked and walked hurriedly, as if the end of the world was approaching. He sighed inwardly, knowing that someone had to stand up and stabilize the situation.

"Fuchen, we can't hesitate any longer. The Qin army is coming with great force. We must respond as soon as possible."

Shi Fuyan took a deep breath, looked at his somewhat flustered brother opposite him, sighed, and said in a deep voice.

"Brother, what do you say we should do? We don't have many troops left."

Upon hearing this, Shi Fuchen suddenly raised his head, a trace of irritation flashed in his eyes, and a hint of helplessness and anxiety appeared in his voice. Shi Fuyan frowned, and quickly calculated in his mind that Yanzhou had experienced a series of wars and lost all its elite troops.

Even the only Taoist soldiers in Yanzhou, the Huo Lin Guards, were completely wiped out by Nangong Tianxia and his Lei Ze Dragon Riders in the previous battle with the Daqian Dynasty's rebellion-suppressing army.

In addition, before the Daqian Dynasty left, it withdrew more than half of Yanzhou's elite troops. Now Yanzhou has fallen into an unprecedented state of weakness.

With only a few elite Chiyu troops left in Yanzhou, they are simply unable to stop this fierce and powerful army coming from the Qin Dynasty in the west!
"Brother, what do you say we should do?"

There was a hint of help in Shi Fuchen's voice. He looked at Shi Fuyan with anticipation in his eyes.

"We must seek help from the Daqian Dynasty. The army that has not yet completely moved south to suppress the rebellion is our last hope. If we send people to chase them now, we may be able to catch up."

"Especially the 'Flying Fairy Spear God' Gong Xiaochuan. The troops he led have not yet withdrawn from Yanzhou because they were cut off. If we can convince him to turn around and support the west of Yanzhou, there may be a glimmer of hope."

Shi Fuyan pondered for a moment, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

"But will the Daqian Dynasty agree? They previously drew the elite troops of our Chiyu Army, which clearly showed that they were holding back on Yanzhou..."

When Shi Fuchen heard this, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

"We can't care about that anymore! At this point, we can only try our best."

"If we hesitate any longer, Yanzhou will soon fall completely, and the invasion of the Qin army is not a good thing for the Daqian Dynasty. They will definitely want to see that our Yanzhou can resist the Qin attack."

Shi Fuyan interrupted with a wave of his hand.

As he spoke, Shi Fuyan turned and walked towards the desk, picked up his pen and wrote quickly. A letter asking for help soon appeared on the paper.

"You, immediately deliver this letter to the Daqian Dynasty's rebel-suppressing army, and be sure to hand it over to General Gong Xiaochuan in person!"

"Tell him that the survival of Yanzhou depends on him!"

He blew the ink dry, sealed the envelope, and handed it to the messenger beside him. The messenger took the envelope, nodded solemnly, turned around and left in a hurry.

Watching the messenger quickly leaving, Shi Fuyan knew in his heart that even if Gong Xiaochuan was willing to return to provide support, the situation in Yanzhou would still be serious.

The combat effectiveness of the Qin army is by no means ordinary, and their invasion of Yanzhou this time is obviously well prepared. The purpose is to destroy Yanzhou's defense system in one fell swoop and open a channel for subsequent attacks.

Shi Fuyan paced back and forth in the study, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He had to prepare for the worst.

If Gong Xiaochuan fails to arrive in time, or the Qin army's offensive is too fierce, Yanzhou will most likely be doomed.

Thinking of this, Shi Fuyan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Yanzhou had just suffered a severe blow and had not yet cleaned up the mess, but now one crisis after another had arisen. This time the invasion of the Qin army had plunged Yanzhou into an unprecedented crisis.
