The person who led this team of guards was a village chief named Zi.

Zi means accumulation of dust, which probably shows a situation when he was born or when his father named him... The house is covered in dust and unattended.

Zi was very capable in doing things. As soon as he arrived at Chen Bing's residence, he immediately brought people to familiarize himself with the surrounding terrain and even drew a map.

Then several people were arranged to set up secret whistles around and designed several routes that could escape.

Not to mention, a city wall like Kucha that is only a few meters high can't trap the Qin army, especially the Shenwu army.

The reason is that they have arrows.

These rope arrows were used before when crossing mountains and ridges to attack the Yuezhi, and at this time they have become common equipment for the Shenwu Army.

Chen Bing looked at Ni's escape plan, and even Chen Bing was surprised.

He pointed to one of the lines towards the east gate and said:

"I think that if there is any war, we will be in a siege."

"If you only escape along the way, you will have little hope of success."

"So we can use the night to attack the city gate and lure the enemy, but the other way we climb the city wall from the north to break through."

Chen Bing nodded secretly.

Although this breakthrough plan is unlikely to be used, even if it is used successfully, it is not very likely that it can be used as a garrison leader and be careful in mind, which also comforts Chen Bing.

Chen Bing asked curiously:

"With your talent, why are you still the chief of the village today?"

Hu bowed and replied:

"Return to the general, just because his subordinates are unwilling to leave the Shenwu Army."

Chen Bing understood with a "Oh" sound.

In fact, it is normal for the Shenwu Army to have so many talents. Their predecessor was the Wei cavalry army, and the cavalry itself was the elite. Shen soldiers selected the best from the best and then trained them. Since then, they have always been the main force that Shen soldiers trust the most, and even the personal guards were selected from the Shenwu Army.

This also confirmed the status of the Shenwu Army, and it also had a lot of talents and outstanding military achievements.

The reason why Ni was just a village chief at this time was not because of his lack of military achievements or because of his low title, but because of his military achievements in the Shenwu Army, with many higher titles.

If Di wants to serve in a higher position, he has to transfer the Shenwu Army to serve in the Daliang Army or Pule Army.

The Daliang Army is an infantry army, and the Pule Army is a Western Region Army with poor language, so it seems that it is not suitable for any army to go.

Chen Bing said:

“It will change soon.”

Chen Bing is talking about the coalition forces. Once they form an alliance with the Western Regions, high-quality talents such as the Shenwu Army will have a place to use them.

As time passed, Chen Bing felt something was wrong.

Because of Princess Wuyou's unrestrained personality, after knowing that Chen Bing was the general of Qin, he should have flew to Chen Bing after talking with the King of Kucha.

However, Chen Bing did not see anyone for a long time.

At this time, Chen Bing became a little alert.

He thought in his heart:

Could it be that the King of Kucha was rejected and he was about to turn against the Qin army?

But thinking about it seems unlikely.

Although Kucha is the largest country in the Western Regions and may unite with more than ten small countries around it, even so, there is no capital to fight with the Qin army.

The reason is as mentioned before. The countries in the Western Regions actually have the advantage of controlling water sources. Whoever defends the city has the advantage of water sources, so it is advantageous to defend but not to attack.

But this rule is invalid in front of the Qin army.

The reason is that the Qin army has the advantage of artillery and the strength of infantry, so no matter which city it attacks, they have confidence and are sure to take it down within a few days...

The cannon that fires solid bullets is the most useful thing to siege the city, and its destructive power to the wall is incomparable to other equipment.

In this way, the Qin army can be said to be invincible in the Western Regions, which means that they can destroy the city wherever they want.

What's even more serious is that once the Qin army captured a city, it controlled the water source there, and then set up artillery at the top of the city... The city soon became solid.

Therefore, the cities in the Western Regions seem to be tailor-made for the Qin army, allowing the Qin army to attack and defend.

The King of Kucha was a smart man, and of course he knew this.

This is also one of the reasons why artillery is very attractive to the King of Kucha.

After possessing artillery, although they still cannot fight against the Qin army... Of course, they cannot fight against the Qin army. The artillery and shells are provided by the Qin army.

To be precise, artillery and solid bombs Kucha are capable of making to some extent.

As the largest country in the Western Regions, Kucha has the ability to smelte bronze and even has many mineral deposits in the Tianshan area.

Although Kucha does not have new iron technology, it can be replaced by bronze. Although its quality is not as good as that of an iron-core copper cannon, it is at least available.

The problem is the medicine bags and flowering bullets. These things that cannot be made are used in wartime, and they will be exhausted from ammunition and food. The cannon will become a pile of scrap iron.

The reason why the King of Kucha urgently needs artillery:

On the one hand, as Shen Bing said before, if Kucha possesses artillery, it can shock the domestic nobles and promote domestic reforms based on this, and concentrate the power in the hands of the nobles into the hands of the King of Kucha.

On the other hand, if Kucha has artillery but other countries do not, then it will definitely be the most powerful country in the Western Regions.

If the Qin army retreats in the Western Regions one day, wouldn’t Kucha be able to unify the Western Regions with these artillery?

In the face of many benefits, how could the King of Kucha easily turn against the Qin army?

Considering this, Shen Bing felt a little calm and thought he was thinking too much.

But the facts proved that Shen Bing didn't think too much.

Just as Shen Bing was bored and drinking, a maid handed it to Shen Bing's case with a plate of grapes, and then whispered in the changing voice of Zhongyuan:

"Go away!"

"Empress of the Huns!"

Although the words were inconsistent with the previous words and the maid turned around and left without saying anything, Shen Bing immediately understood what was going on.

This maid must have been sent by Princess Wuyou to warn Shen Bing.

The problem was not the "refusal of relatives", but the Huns intervened between Qin and Kucha and even sent envoys to Kucha.

However, it can also be said to be the reason for "rejecting relatives".

Because if the Qin general did not "reject relatives", the King of Kucha might have driven away the Hun envoys directly, rather than hesitating between the two.

Shen Bing guessed right, this is what the King of Kucha asked Princess Wuyou to leave.

From the perspective of King Kucha, if they can marry the Qin army, their trust will be further improved.

Now the Qin army refuses to marry... Does that mean that the Qin army is planning to destroy the bridge across the river?

Of course, this inference is untenable.

Because even if the Qin army planned to use Kucha to cross the river, they could still accept marriage.

But the King of Kucha was furious and would not think about these things.

Just at this time, the Hun envoys arrived in Kucha, so the King of Kucha didn't think much about it and asked the soldiers to welcome them into Kucha.

There is no need to say more about what the purpose of the Hun envoy was.

That is to let Kucha and the Huns unite and then attack east and west to drive the Qin army out of the Western Regions.
