Chapter 7: Battle Against the Qin Army!

  "He's so handsome and daring, I want to go too." Li Qingxuan's eyes sparkled, like a grey wolf catching a fat sheep, giving off an evil yet adorable vibe. Her words directly solidified the thoughts of several girls, who rushed towards the stairs in unison.

  "The person I'm looking for has come out, let your people behave." Gong Sun Ce saw the person he wanted to find through the tempered glass wall of the gymnasium, light blue jeans, a pale pink sweater with a sky blue jacket on top. It was still the same outfit as when they parted last time, and he recognized him at a glance.

  "It's just her, no problem." The lieutenant turned to look at Xue Ling. Although Xue Ling was beautiful, she didn't have the nobility in her bones that came from a large clan. He determined that Xue Ling wasn't the princess he was supposed to protect and signaled his subordinates to let her go. As a result, after letting her go, the four girls behind also ran out together.

  The lieutenant didn't want to give up the great achievement, so he carefully examined them. The three girls were only pretty and had a gentle quality, far inferior to the woman before. They could be let go. He looked at Li Qingxuan again, seeing her staring foolishly at Gong Sun Ce, ignoring him directly. That princess had seen countless handsome young men, how could she have such an expression?

  "They're fine, you can take them away. By the way, my name is Meng Kou." The lieutenant flashed a smile, thinking that this matter should also come to an end, as long as he could send this old man on his way.

  "It's okay, I've started to like you. If things don't work out in the future, come find me, my name is Gong Sun Ce, you won't forget it." Gong Sun Ce flashed a smile and pulled Xue Ling's hand around the landmine to go find Miao Miao and her mother.

  Meng Ku wiped the sweat from his face, and the officer next to him made a targeting gesture. He directly slapped the back of the officer's head with a loud slap, and scolded in a low voice: "Don't stir up trouble, one less thing is better than one more thing. As long as we ensure safety here, each of our brothers can be promoted by one or two levels!"

  As for the crowd, they saw that Gong Sun Ce had only taken five women out of the gymnasium and didn't intend to go in, so they were very disappointed. They had also wanted to take advantage of Gong Sun Ce's entry into the gymnasium to follow him in together. Now they returned to their old ways, squatting in threes and fives, gazing resentfully at the gymnasium, muttering curses under their breath.

  Gongsun Ce pulled Xue Ling's hand and strode out of the school, with several girls following closely behind in a jog. They walked in silence all the way until Miao Miao suddenly pointed ahead at the front gate and said, "Big brother, there's danger up ahead."

  Miao Miao finished speaking, and Gong Sun Ce also saw that the defensive line at the gate was left with only a few scattered soldiers, who were desperately running towards him. Behind them were the Qin army, the resurrected Great Qin soldiers!

  "Wind! Wind! Great wind!" This group of Qin soldiers, less than a hundred in number, had an aura as majestic as a mountain. They seemed capable of crushing any obstacle that stood in their way. The originally panicked civilians were frightened out of their wits and ran for their lives. Fortunately, the Qin army ignored them; otherwise, blood would have flowed like rivers.

  Gongsun Ce gripped the iron spear tightly and said to Xue Lingjiu, "You're all waiting for me here. That group of Qin soldiers only pursue and kill military personnel and creatures with a will to fight. They won't harm civilians because they want to rebuild Great Qin, so they must have population!"

  "Handsome guy, how did you know?" Li Qingxuan still had a dazed expression, hugging Gong Sun Ce's right arm, looking at the iron spear and saying: "It's a very beautiful weapon, worthy of handsome guy!" Except for Gong Sun Ce and Miao Miao, the other five women were all speechless, their faces flushed with embarrassment.

  "Brother, kill all these Qin soldiers and you'll be promoted to a higher military rank." Suddenly, Dai Ji walked out from behind Gong Sun Ce's statue, wearing a bamboo hat and a veil. "What a beautiful sister, sister has light on her body too!" Miao Miao said with her head tilted, while the other girls were still in shock.

  "Sister, protect them for me, I'll go kill those Qin soldiers!" Gong Sun Ce took the divine image off his back and handed it to Xue Ling: "A Ling, you take this. Wait for my return, we'll go home together, don't be afraid, be good."

  "Uh, I'll wait for you. We'll all go home together, not one less." Xue Ling looked at Gong Sun Ce and found that he still had the same face, but seemed to have grown a bit taller, yet somehow became a different person. Gong Sun Ce gave her an extra sense of strangeness, and she also felt an extra sense of anticipation in her heart.

  A few people spoke, and four wounded soldiers ran to their side. Seeing Gong Sun Ce standing in front of them like a godly needle that calms the sea, they also stopped in their tracks. A sergeant panted and roared: "Are you crazy? Why aren't you running?! Those ghostly things are not human, they can come back from the dead!"

  "Your heart is still okay, stay here and protect them, I'll go kill those Qin soldiers." Gong Sun Ce patted the sergeant's shoulder, his commanding tone made the sergeant stand up straight. Then his face turned dark again: "I know you're fierce, but you..."

  The Qin army moved quickly and had already begun to form up fifty meters in front of Gong Sun Ce and his men. Gong Sun Ce signaled for them to retreat first, the sergeant shut his mouth, pulled out two hand grenades, and the other three soldiers also pulled out several hand grenades, staring at the Qin army with hatred filling their hearts.

  "Come on! I'll send you to eternal rest!" Gong Sun Ce shouted, holding his halberd and pointing at the head of the Qin army. He recognized him at a glance. The Qin army did not wear helmets, and their hairstyles could distinguish between soldiers and the lowest-ranking officers. The twenty-level military merit title system of the Qin army was famous throughout history, resounding both domestically and internationally.

  The first-class Gong Shi and the second-class Shang Zao of the Qin army can only be identified by their hairstyles, which can be understood as non-commissioned officers because they are still soldiers. The third-class Ji Zhui already has a board helmet that can be worn, and the rank is divided according to the style of the board helmet. In the Qin army, wearing a board helmet is a symbol of an officer. And in front of this Qin army, only one person wears a board helmet, with a wrapped armor on his body, but the weapon in his hand is almost the same as his, which is a long ge (dagger-axe).

  "The great Qin will be reborn in the flames of war! Why must you resort to such futile efforts?" The voice of the Qin military officer was hoarse and dry, yet it carried an inexplicable aura of authority. Gong Sun Ce estimated that this officer should be a lieutenant, commanding a unit of one hundred men. That these zombie-like Qin soldiers could speak left the onlookers in shock. What's more, they were attempting to rebuild the great Qin! This left the current imperial court wondering how to respond.

  "I didn't mean to fight the Qin army, I just want to leave with my friends." Gongsun Ce knew that these revived soldiers would definitely rebuild their country in its original location. Therefore, within the range of the Qin army, he did not dare to stay and had to get as far away from the Qin army as possible. Xianyang, as the capital of Great Qin, had revived soldiers here, as well as Great Qin soldiers who came from all over, which would be no less than tens of millions!

  "There are no living enemies in front of the Great Qin army! When you appear before us with your weapon, it is destined that we will have a battle!" The Qin army's commander was very proud and did not bully Gong Sun Zan who was alone. With a swing of his arm, five Qin soldiers stepped forward, forming a classic formation, standing in front of Gong Sun Zan in an orderly manner.

  They each faced Gong Sun Zan, their right hands gripping swords with their arms in a straight line, the tips of their swords just touching the ground behind them. Gong Sun Zan held a halberd in both hands, pointing at the five Qin soldiers wielding swords. These Qin soldiers were holding short weapons and seemed to be light infantry from the Qin army.

  "Kill!" The commander gave the order, and five swordsmen rushed towards Gong Sun Ce with their swords drawn, leaving five black lines on the cement floor. In the distance, Xue Ling bit her collar, worried and afraid, as were the other girls. Miao Miao stared at Gong Sun Ce with wide eyes, her small hands clenched tightly. The only one who seemed relaxed was Li Qingxuan, who also gazed at Gong Sun Ce's back with her big black eyes.

  Dai Qi was also worried that Gong Sun Ce would meet with an accident, she thought highly of his future. If he were to fall early, it would be a real pity. However, the heir to the military family was born to restrain this kind of martial spirit, and these martial spirits all used short-range weapons, as long as they didn't get close, Gong Sun Ce was still safe.

  Gongsun Zan also stepped forward, charging towards the five swordsmen. As he approached, he let out a loud roar: "Die!" He leapt to the left, and his spear stabbed out suddenly into mid-air. The Qin army swordsman on the far left swung his sword in an attempt to deflect the iron spear that was heading straight for his neck. But his speed was still a fraction too slow, and Gongsun Zan's spear pierced through his neck. The bronze sword hovering in mid-air lost its strength and fell to the ground. In an instant, the entire person decayed, transforming into a pile of withered bones. Before the withered bones could even hit the ground, they disintegrated in mid-air, turning into a cloud of white bone ash that drifted away.

  Gongsun Zhan landed on the ground, and the remaining four swordsmen stopped in their tracks, turned around, and before they could react, Gongsun Zhan stabbed another swordsmen to death from three meters away. The remaining three swordsmen let out a strange cry, swinging their swords to attack. Gongsun Zhan didn't retreat a single step, holding his spear with both hands, making horizontal slashes, one after another. Two of the swordsmen who charged forward reached his side, but only two headless corpses were left, falling to the ground, along with the severed heads that rolled to Gongsun Zhan's feet, decaying and dispersing into a blue-green mist, which was more condensed than the red mist dispersed by the yin spirits, and its color was also more vivid.

  The last swordsman was stabbed to death by a spear, his body rotted, but no blue soul gas came out, all of which were directly absorbed by the iron spear. Gong Sun Ce saw two streams of blue gas floating beside him, touched the spear blade, and they were all absorbed by the iron spear. Then Gong Sun Ce turned his head to look at Qin Jun Tun Jiang, and smiled.

  "Can these monsters really be killed by humans? With a sword, but not with bullets?" The sergeant muttered to himself, and Daisy shook her head and said: "Swords also have their own rules, at least you need to have killed people, and only then can you contain the evil energy."

  Zhong Shi listened, pulled out a * from his high-tube combat boots, gently stroking the dark military dagger and said: "This was used by my grandfather in Korea back then, later my old man also used it in Vietnam." He looked at Dai Ji, who was wearing a white robe and a face veil, and Dai Ji nodded, indicating that it could be used.

  "What's with the military tradition?" General Tun exclaimed, continuing to say: "You're not worthy of being a soldier of Great Qin, you ten, come up!" Da Gao pointed at the first row of ten swordsmen. The ten Great Qin swordsmen remained silent, still in their classic formation, divided into three groups, with three on each side and four in the middle, surrounding Gong Sun Ce.

  He had just killed five Great Qin swordsmen, and Gong Sun Ce had already calculated their strength and speed, which was slower than his own by a notch. Their brains were also somewhat rigid, after all, they were undead bodies, or perhaps these military souls had only recently revived and were not yet fully adapted to their physical bodies, which had not yet recovered or been strengthened. So he did not fear them.

  Three halberd-wielding warriors approached, fighting while retreating. The iron halberds in their hands seemed like a dragon snake, extremely agile and ruthless. They seized the opportunity to strike, and ten swordsmen fell one after another, dying and decaying. Ten clusters of blue water-like energy were absorbed by the halberd, and Gong Sun Ce also felt unwell, his physical strength greatly depleted.

  "A strong man like you, why don't you serve the great Qin for me?" Tun Jiang was indifferent to the death of his subordinates and was very interested in Gongsun Ce.
