It is said that at the critical moment, Ying Zhuo's sword was placed on Wei Ran's neck, and the great Qin hegemon almost fell to the ground in fright.
No matter what - Ying Zhuo is a woman after all.
The dignified Prime Minister of Qin was actually held hostage by a woman. It would be a joke to tell it!
Of course, Wei Ran is a smart man... give in immediately!
He made promises that were astonishing - not only would he save Xiong Wuliang's life, but he would also be kind enough to persuade him to join the Qin Dynasty as an official; if Xiong Wuliang was unwilling, he would also be sent out of the country as a gift...
That silly girl Ying Zhuo is, to put it bluntly, inexperienced.
In fact, think about it - Ying Zhuo is the princess of Qin after all, and her status is considered valuable. Who of the people she interacts with on a daily basis would dare to lie to Ying Zhuo?
Just like that, Ying Zhuo naively believed Wei Ran's lies and took back his sword.
Wei Ran immediately turned his back!
He immediately called the guards in front of the palace, confiscated Princess Ying Zhuo's sword, and placed the princess under house arrest.
When the army wins the battle, they will marry General Bai Qi immediately!
Haha, the credibility of the people of Qin!
Not only that, Wei Ran became more and more angry as he thought about it, and finally sent an envoy all the way over - saying that after capturing Xiong Wuliang, he would kill that despicable boy as soon as possible!
Closer to home, the envoy from Xianyang knew the legendary story... Sima Cuo and other Qin generals did not know it at this moment.
Sima Cuo frowned, very dissatisfied!
Although Xiong Wuliang's defeat was a foregone conclusion...according to Sima Cuo's idea, this enemy should be tied up and sent to Xianyang, then reported to the ancestral temple and sentenced to death on an auspicious day.
Only in this way can the soldiers and people of Qin be given a bad breath.
Only in this way can it greatly enhance the people's aspirations of the Qin government and the public.
It goes without saying that killing him with one sword can relieve his anger for a while...but in the end, he failed to maximize the benefits of this famous prisoner.
However, Sima Cuo still accepted the order: "We will obey Xianyang's order!"
The messenger nodded with some satisfaction.
Thinking of Princess Ying Zhuo again... the envoy couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
What a strange woman.
It's a pity... Wei Ran is not a gentleman, he doesn't follow martial ethics!
It is a foregone conclusion that Xiong Wuliang will be defeated and die...
Whatever!
This is the fate of being an enemy of Great Qin!
…
At this moment.
Inside Fangshan, beacon tower.
In the dense forest, everything seems to be as usual... The occasional chirping of insects is considered normal in a late autumn night, right?
The Qin army stationed three centurions at the beacon tower - a total of three hundred elite Qin soldiers to guard a mere beacon tower, which was already considered overqualified and underused.
Normally, it is enough to leave ten or eight Qin soldiers in a beacon tower - if you find traces of the enemy, you can just throw a torch into the beacon tower, so why do you need three elite hundred troops?
This shows Sima Cuo's caution.
At this moment, the three centurions of the Qin army had no intention of sleeping, but sat around and drank wine.
Of course there is no alcohol in the army - and the military commander is very strict in governing the army. Although Neifang Mountain is far away from the main camp, the three centurions did not dare to violate the ban.
Therefore, these three unlucky guys drank only cold water.
Centurion A lost the punch again and cursed in frustration. Then he picked up the makeshift cup cut out of a bamboo tube in front of him and drank a glass of cold water... Touching his rounded belly, he couldn't help but take a sip. Water burps.
When the two centurions B and C saw this, they both laughed.
The camp was filled with a happy air...
"No more fun, no more fun!" Centurion A drank the most cold water. At this moment, he felt that his belly was a little unable to bear it. He finally leaned back in frustration: "Are you two colluding? To harm me?"
The other two centurions looked at each other, laughed, and shook their heads.
Centurion A snorted and sat up: "I will go on a patrol and come back to decide the outcome with you two!"
The other two people laughed and said: "What's the point of patrolling? Those stupid Chu people are trapped in Yingdu and have no time to take care of themselves. How can they have the troops to sneak attack on Neifang Mountain?"
"Our Neifangshan beacon tower protects the large grain warehouse in Ganyukou."
"But the people of Chu didn't know that the imperial lieutenant was hoarding grain at Ganyukou, so how could they come to attack them secretly? Even if they knew, how could they have any extra troops?"
"Don't look at the Quyang new army under Mi Liang'er's command, which is quite capable...after all, they are infantry, and their speed is quite slow."
"If Mi Liang really dares to attack Ganyukou secretly, we will set off fireworks and the captain will attack Yingdu... It will save trouble!"
Centurion A also knew that his two colleagues were right.
In their opinion, Guo Wei was too cautious.
The army came all the way, burning, killing and looting, as if they were entering an uninhabited land - the Qin Dynasty was invincible!
No matter how cunning Mi Liang'er is, he can't know where the Qin, Wei, and Han coalition forces are hoarding food, right? There can't be any extra troops for a sneak attack, right? Even if they come for a sneak attack, they will still be caught by the Neifangshan beacon tower.
Centurion B was talking and laughing, poured another bamboo tube of cold water, and said, "Don't run away, we will fight until dawn!"
Centurion A wanted to fight again, but his stomach was really swollen, so he could only wave his hands: "I... I will go to patrol the camp first..."
After that, he opened the tent curtain and ran away.
The other two looked at each other and said with a smile: "What's a 'camp patrol' sounds nice... This person obviously held back too much urine and had to urinate."
…
Yin Yu, the fair-faced scholar, was dressed in black at the moment, sitting lightly on the treetop - the treetop was only as thick as his forearm, but it actually supported Yin Yu's weight. I don't know what a superb light-body skill it was!
A dark cloud happened to drift over, and the mountain forest, which was originally pitch black, was now as dense as ink, making it impossible to see even one's fingers.
Yin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, took out a strange-shaped shiny bone whistle from his arms, and blew it gently according to a specific frequency.
There were bursts of insect chirping.
Soon, several more insects were heard not far away in the forest... Yin Yu listened intently for a moment, then a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Under the shroud of darkness, all killings were covered by the darkness.
Although the Qin army had many torches and fires, there were always blind spots that could not be seen.
For Kuroba Wei, this is enough!
Dozens of men in black passed by, and the Qin army scouts guarding the beacon tower had no time to react. They couldn't even make a muffled sound and fell to the ground.
There were bursts of insects chirping again.
Yin Yu smiled with satisfaction - the Black Feather Guards did not need to kill all three hundred Qin soldiers, as long as they eliminated the sentries standing guard in the dark, the task would be completed.
The rest of the Qin soldiers are asleep, so let them continue to sleep peacefully!
At this moment, the Knight Cavalry Army must not be far away... The beacon tower at Neifang Mountain has been silenced, and Ge Suyi's 10,000 knights can pass through secretly... In another hour, the unprepared Ganyukou Qin Army will Got hit from hell. By tomorrow morning, the battle situation will be different.
Centurion A, who was full of cold water, came out in the dark, found a secluded place, lifted up the hem of his trousers, and wanted to relieve himself...
But suddenly he rubbed his eyes.
At the foot of the mountain, there seemed to be large swathes of black clouds maneuvering around Neifang Mountain...
Hold the grass! Chu army!
Centurion A's eyes widened and he could hardly believe his eyes!
Xiong Wuliang actually attacked!
Damn it, why didn't the sentry sound a warning? Why not light the beacon?
…
