As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers.

The Xiongnu army numbered tens of thousands, covering a vast area, so numerous that the edges could not be seen.

After the clan leader gave the order, they dismounted one by one, rushed into the woods with steel knives, and chopped down the trees.

Even if three or five people work together and can only chop down one tree in a minute, with so many people, tens of thousands of trees can be chopped down.

Of course, this is the most ideal state and is impossible to achieve in reality.

But with the efforts of tens of thousands of cavalry, the speed of cutting down trees was so fast that in less than half an hour, a wide avenue had been cut down.

However, when the army finally reached the other end of the woods, they suddenly discovered that there were three city walls stretching across the place.

This city wall was naturally transformed into the three dragons that Zhou Ming had summoned before. It stretched across the ground, really like a city wall.

Each one is three to four meters high, and the surface of the city wall is made of completely integrated black stone. Under the light of torches, it reflects light similar to metal.

At first glance, it looks extremely hard.

The patriarch's face is darker than the black stone.

After finally cutting a road, these three city walls suddenly appeared in front of them.

But at this moment, we can only bite the bullet and dig out the city wall to create a road.

What else can be done?

Turn around and take a detour?

It is estimated that by the time they reach the battlefield, the war will be over long ago.

Cross over?

People can get across, but how can horses get across?

The minister first pulled out the sword from his waist, slashed it on the city wall, sparks flew out, and shouted: "Everyone, dig for me!"

Everyone had been cutting down trees for half an hour and was feeling very angry. But facing these three city walls, they really had no choice but to take out their steel knives and continue chopping.

But before he could make a few cuts, the mountain suddenly shook, and the indestructible black stone city wall in front of him began to tremble.

Then there was a sudden sway, and the entire city wall was lifted up.

Lava and flames instantly spread all over the body, and the shining firelight was extremely conspicuous in the dark night, allowing everyone to see the city wall clearly.

Where is the city wall?

It is clearly a ferocious fire dragon!

Wait a minute...fire dragon?

A bad premonition appeared in the patriarch's heart, but in the next moment, this premonition came true.

The ferocious fire dragon suddenly lowered its head, opened its bloody mouth, and the flames all over its body surged into its mouth.

Then, spurt out!

The violent high-temperature flames instantly ignited the entire forest.

"Wind! Strong wind!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

On the battlefield of Daicheng, the sounds of fighting and shouting were heard one after another.

The already weak defenders of Dai City were naturally far from being a match for the Qin Army when a huge gap appeared in the city wall, and they were gradually attacked by the Qin Army.

In Dai City.

"Report! The Qin army has captured the south gate!"

"hateful!"

When the acting king Zhao Jia heard the news, he angrily overturned the table in front of him and shouted: "How could this happen? Where are the Huns? Why haven't they come out yet?"

"This... I don't know, but there has never been a trace of the Huns on the battlefield, and the Qin army has not been affected in any way."

A minister next to him said with a sinking face: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Huns have betrayed their trust and are no longer prepared to support them. In my opinion, we'd better surrender!"

"Shut up!"

Zhao Jia roared and said: "You want me to surrender? Impossible! Since we can no longer defend here, let's go north. There is still a large area of ​​land and cities in the north of Dai County. If that doesn't work, we will go to the Xiongnu

!”

At the end of the sentence, Zhao Jia gritted his teeth.

It's really a shame to have finally become a king and then have to run away.

But now that the matter has come to this, there is really no other way but to escape.

"Handan ran away, do you want to run away again now?"

A voice appeared from behind.

Zhao Jia tensed up and turned around to see a stranger standing quietly behind him, looking at him indifferently.

"You...who are you?"

"Who am I? Why do I feel like so many people are asking me this question recently?"

Zhou Ming gathered the sword energy in his hand and said: "Then let me answer it again. My name is Li Feiyu and I am from Qin!"

"Li Feiyu!"

Zhao Jia's pupils shrank and his body couldn't help but tremble.

Although Zhou Ming has only taken action a few times in the past few months, each time it was shocking, and his name has already spread throughout the seven countries.

Zhao Jia naturally knew who he was.

Especially when he saw the sword energy gradually gathering in Zhou Ming's hand, Zhao Jia was even more frightened.

"You...don't do whatever you want. I am the acting king and I can surrender."

"I'm sorry, but the king of Daijun is not worth saving your life."

Zhou Ming spat out the sword energy in his hand and killed Zhao Jia directly. Then he looked at the ministers next to him and said, "Did you just say you wanted to surrender? This is a good idea, go ahead. Otherwise, Zhao Jia will be your fate!"

"

The old minister couldn't bear the fear and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes."

In this way, Dai City was captured.

However, Xin Sheng was still setting up defenses on the city wall, preparing to welcome the Huns cavalry that would appear next.

In this regard, Zhou Ming said nothing and just pointed in the direction.

Xin Sheng looked at it from a distance and suddenly his eyes widened and he said: "Fire! What a big fire!"

"That's right. Now that the Huns have too much time to take care of themselves, I'm afraid they won't have time to attack the Qin army. Well, maybe after the fire is extinguished, the Huns army will be gone."

Xin Sheng laughed loudly and quickly clasped his fists and said: "Mr. Li, the first victory in this battle must be Mr. Li's!"

Zhou Ming smiled faintly.

He doesn't care about the credit in this world.

Turning around, Xin Sheng sent troops to check the situation. When they went to the place, they found that it was completely scorched black.

The ground was covered with black coal, and it was impossible to tell where the trees were, where the people were, and where the horses were.

Zhou Minggao sat on his horse and said: "Bury these corpses to avoid the plague."

"yes!"

Thousands of soldiers walked into the charred darkness and soon trampled the scene into mud.

In this scene, unless you have the ability to backtrack in time, even if the best detective in the world comes, you will not be able to restore the truth at all. At most, you will get the result of burning an army.

And this is the result Zhou Ming wants.

The Huns' army was eliminated without being too abrupt, so as not to disturb the masters who were still hiding.

What surprised Zhou Ming was that Zhao Jia's Dai country was actually considered a country. After its destruction, Zhou Ming completed one more task.

However, after defeating Dai, the remaining three countries are a bit difficult to deal with.

In the original history, the Qin State was unified in 220 BC, but now it is 227 BC.

There are still seven years left before the original historical time.

These seven years represent more than just time. In these seven years, many children who are now eleven or twelve years old will grow up to be eighteen or nineteen years old, young and strong enough to step onto the battlefield and become excellent soldiers.

On Qin's land, grain can be harvested seven times or more, making Qin's granary richer enough to support a more protracted war.

On the other hand, the Qin State currently lacks troops and food and grass.

A war can be started and fought, but it may not be won.

Among the remaining three countries, Wei, Qi, and Chu, Wei can be said to be the duck in the mouth, and Qi has a great chance of taking it directly. The only problem is Chu.

Chu State has a vast territory and many soldiers, so it is definitely a formidable enemy.
