Chapter 001: Rewind Thirty Seconds

Following Su Jie, over a thousand soldiers charged forward, and with three waves of arrows raining down, more than half were killed or injured

At this moment, the veteran general Wang He of the Qin army led his troops to conquer the city of Shangdang. This was precisely the opportune moment for the assault team to capture the city tower, and all the soldiers of the Great Qin army were vying for the siege ladders to seize the tower.

It is now

At this moment, Su Jie was only five zhang away from the city wall. He only needed to break through the shield and spear soldiers below the wall to approach the city wall, allowing the infantry behind to set up the ladders.

This child is valiant

... ... It has become vague, time has reversed

With a single sword strike, the Zhao soldier was fatally countered, causing one or two Qin soldiers nearby to glance over in surprise. How could such a sudden ambush result in a counterattack?

Among the Qin soldiers, it is said that in a single battle, to kill three men is the mark of a fierce and elite warrior. Even seasoned soldiers who have served for ten or twenty years would not dare to claim that they could achieve such a feat in one engagement

The military merit and nobility system of the Qin state awarded a rank for every person killed in battle. In the midst of a fierce fight, Su Jie suddenly achieved a feat, which instantly boosted the morale of the soldiers in several nearby squads.

Nobility, that is the fate of the Qin people | Root | Child, losing nobility means losing land, servants, and grain

Where is this? Who am I?

It is too dangerous; if one is not careful, it could cost them their life

At this moment, Su Jie did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent, and all his attention was focused in this direction

"It has truly returned, time has reversed!" Su Jie was still in shock, at this moment, with a thought, a line of text appeared before his eyes.

In an instant, Su Jie returned once again to the scene from four seconds ago

... ...

Wang He, witnessing the heavy casualties of the Qin army at the foot of the city wall and the difficulty of ascending the siege ladders, was about to issue an order to retreat when he suddenly caught sight of a small, slender figure bravely climbing the ladder amidst the rain of arrows, making its way towards the city wall, and was almost within reach of the top of the city tower

Once one is the first to ascend the tower, it is a great achievement, and one will similarly attract the attention of the generals and commanders

I have survived

Misty yet piercing | Exciting, piercing | Exciting yet surprising

Charge! Kill!

The commanders and various generals are most concerned with who can ascend the city tower and open a breach

The reason for doing this is self-evident

Oh?

Is this the Black Dragon Flag? Is this the Piao Prison in Shangdang County? Is this... the battle of the Qin State against Zhao?

Killed one, there are still five left

At the time when both sides were engaged in fierce combat, several siege ladders had already approached the city walls, greatly boosting the morale of the Qin army charging from the rear and inspiring them.

Zhao's death: "... ..."

Pain, an endless suffering

Retreat, retreat

Both eyes fixed on the spot where the spear suddenly emerged, timing it just right

I indeed died just now, in an instant four seconds ago, having had my head severed by someone

Su Jie struggled to open his eyes, surrounded by soldiers in black and silver armor engaged in fierce combat. The bodies on the ground were oozing murky blood, staining the area beneath the city gate of Shangdang County.

"This can all be avoided." The Zhao soldier was greatly shocked and lost his color; he originally thought he could secure a kill and had relaxed his vigilance, waiting to collect the head of his enemy. Unexpectedly, the Qin soldier before him seemed to know in advance, swinging his short sword and striking down.

The unfamiliar scent of blood evokes a sense of familiarity within him, a reason for the merging of memories from two lifetimes

Su Jie did not look back; the sword light was aimed at his head. Suddenly, he crouched down, avoiding the deadly strike aimed at his neck. Under the astonished gaze of the Zhao soldier, Su Jie did not turn his head, and with a single thrust, he pierced directly into the chest of the Zhao soldier.

Su Jie opened his eyes once again, still lying amidst the pile of corpses, his head pounding painfully. The soldiers around him were engaged in fierce combat just as before

The Qin army only needs to conquer Shangdang Commandery to open the gateway for the eastward advance of the Qin Dynasty

At this moment, Su Jie suddenly opened his eyes. Although his body was still in excruciating pain, if he continued to be careless, thirty seconds would not be enough to lead to his demise

At this moment, countless archers from the Zhao army appeared, lining up to shoot at the Qin soldiers below.

In the era of Shang Yang's reforms, in addition to the promotion of nobility based on military merit, there was also a system for demotion of nobility. After a battle, if one did not kill anyone, or if the number of people killed among one's comrades did not meet the total number of comrades, one would face a demotion in rank

Not far from Su Jie, a soldier of the Zhao state suddenly saw him rise from the ground, covered in blood, his eyes shining brightly. He charged over with a short sword, aiming a strike at Su Jie's head

In an instant, countless fragments of memories within the body permeated the mind, rendering the originally pungent smell of blood strangely familiar

On the chariot of the central army, the old general Wang He observed the siege situation at the city gate, his brows furrowed together

At this moment, Su Jie was floating in mid-air, his mind filled with questions.

Su Jie rose from the pile of corpses with his sword in hand. He knew that in a few seconds, at a forty-five-degree angle behind his head, he would be attacked by Zhao's soldier from behind

Su Jie returned to two seconds ago

With a snap, Zhao's soldier had half of his head chopped off

The Qin soldiers, accept death! shouted the Zhao soldiers loudly

Qin soldiers: "... ..."

Time system activated, detecting host death, rewinding time by thirty seconds

A cold light shot out from the gap in the shield, and if it were an ordinary person, they would not have had time to react

Su Jie did not dare to delay; in an instant, he snatched a wooden shield from the corpse, wielding his sword in his right hand as he charged into the crowd to fight.

Until the very end, reduced to servitude

At this moment, Su Jie was completely unaware, only feeling a cool breeze carrying a strong scent of blood sweeping towards him, as a silver blade sliced through the air

This hot potato is clearly visible to discerning individuals, and it is better not to touch it, as it is something that the State of Qin is determined to obtain and has paid a great price for. If you go to "snatch" something that is easily within his reach, aren't you just looking for trouble?

The Shangdang County has now been engaged in fierce battle for over a month, and the King of Qin has issued a death order, mandating that it must be captured within one month

Task Release: As there are no remaining members in the host's team, please kill at least six soldiers and obtain a noble title from the Qin state

Surviving a catastrophe, under the binding of the system, Su Jie felt an immense joy in his heart

Su Jie was greatly shaken, watching helplessly as the rain of arrows, resembling black dots, fell down. The surrounding Qin soldiers immediately erupted in continuous screams, many fell, their fates unknown.

Severed head, deceased

In the distance, the black dragon flag flutters in the wind beneath the dark sky, while the armored iron army advances slowly towards the city of Shangdang like a moving fortress

Truly a valiant warrior

In that year, the State of Qin and the State of Han engaged in a war that was fiercely contested and indecisive

Time remaining for reversal: twenty seconds

Currently, the Zhao army is firmly entrenched within the walls of Pilaocheng in Dangjun, with ample provisions prepared. Under such steadfast defense, even today, the city towers have yet to be breached.

In the midst of a siege, there is usually a system in place to recognize the first person to ascend the city tower and award them for their merit

Su Jie led the charge, when suddenly a long spear thrust out from the ranks of Zhao's soldiers, piercing through Su Jie, who was at the forefront of the attack.

Suddenly, the scene changed, and time flowed backward

This is a true battlefield! At this moment, Su Jie finally realized his situation. As a person who has crossed over, he probably never even participated in a brawl in his previous life, let alone a battlefield like this.

Because Su Jie can reverse time, when he fights, it appears to others that he is utterly unconcerned for his own life

At this moment, Wang He and the surrounding generals all focused their attention on Su Jie

Su Jie, with a surge of energy, killed three Zhao soldiers in one go

How could Han of Korea possibly be a match for the Qin state? It is gradually showing signs of weakness. Under the leadership of the county governor Feng Ting, the military and civilians of Han in Shangdang intend to surrender to Zhao, offering the cities, populace, and lands of the Shangdang region to Zhao.

Charge! Kill! ... The endless roar echoed in my ears

A successful attempt will reward a novice with a gift package, along with 500 points. A failure will result in a deduction of 500 points. If the points are insufficient, the system will be deactivated

Ah... you?" The soldier of Zhao spat out a mouthful of blood, pointing at Su Jie with a trembling finger in disbelief

Time remaining for reversal: twenty-two seconds

Su Jie’s counterattack left Zhao’s troops momentarily stunned. In that instant, the Qin soldiers behind Su Jie surged forward, and the two sides became entangled in a chaotic battle.

Su Jie, anticipating the movement, executed a swift roll to evade the lethal strike with remarkable agility

Suddenly, a furious roar entered my ears, "Qin soldiers, prepare to die"

Moreover, four hundred and fifty thousand Zhao troops were ambushed and slaughtered, with only one out of ten men surviving.

Time remaining for system rollback: 26 seconds

The tearing sound echoed as crimson blood, carrying a strong metallic scent, splattered onto him

In this remaining time, it is evident without needing to think that once it is used up, death will be inevitable

King Zhao was originally hesitant and indecisive, but ultimately, under the persuasion of Lord Pingyuan Zhao Sheng, he accepted Shangdang, thus marking the beginning of the Battle of Changping. Two hundred thousand Qin soldiers were buried here, and for many years, the state struggled to recover its vitality. It is historically noted that at that time, the national treasury was nearly depleted, and the mountains were far removed.

The armies of Qin and Zhao have deep-seated enmity akin to the vastness of the sea

System

The sounds of the fierce battle between the two sides instantly awakened Su Jie’s mind

"The soldiers of Qin, accept death." A furious roar, mingled with the scent of blood, sliced through the air, beheading Su Jie, who was still lost in the dark music.
