After this edict was promulgated, another edict was posted. The general content was that the people of Xianyang were allowed to watch from the sidelines. Now the whole Xianyang was boiling. They were all waiting for the two-day battle on the Weihe River and wanted to see what happened to them. How the king fought against the sky.
Ying Zheng felt a little uneasy when he looked at Zi You in front of him.
"Sir, how are we going to fight this battle?" Ying Zheng asked uncertainly. The sky has always been an ethereal thing. If we want to fight the sky, it doesn't matter whether we can win or not, but how we fight. The situation of the battle is also very different. A problem now.
"Your Majesty, just rest assured, there will be no problem in this matter." Ziyou said.
Seeing Ziyou's vow, Ying Zheng also nodded and said to Ziyou.
"I'll leave everything to you, sir."
After Ying Zheng and Ziyou agreed on the details, they began to issue an edict and asked the Imperial Guards of Xianyang Palace to mobilize 5,000 people and 3,000 Iron Eagle warriors to take the lead in going to the Weihe River Sacrifice Site, which is the place where the annual spring festival is held. Here is Able to accommodate enough soldiers.
Soon the news came out that Ying Zheng was going to fight Tianyi because of the locust plague, and the whole Qin State was boiling. Not only the Qin State was boiling, but the six Shandong countries were also talking about it. However, most people in the country shook their heads. The person who declared war on Heaven was Wu Yi, who shot Heaven. This also led to the decline of Shang from prosperity. After that, the most famous King Zhou of Shang fought with the Emperor of Heaven. Now Ying Zheng has to fight with Heaven again. This Many people, especially the monarchs of the six kingdoms, thought that Qin was seeking its own destruction.
Naturally, there were many people in the Qin State who tried to persuade Ying Zheng to give up on Wu Yi and King Zhou of Shang, but they were all told by Ying Zheng, "I am fighting for the people of the Qin State, and I, the Qin generals, will not fight for our Qin State." During the battle due to the locust plague, those who were admonishing were blocked outside the palace gate by Zhao Gao and his men. Seeing that Ying Zheng could not work here, these ministers changed their minds and found Lu Buwei. Lu Buwei did not disappear, but met these group of people. The minister said that he could advise the king, but he needed them to write a memorial.
For a while, these ministers started to write, but Lu Buwei said that they were not profound enough and could not impress the king, so they asked them to write again. In this way, these ministers were left to write memorials, and each time they finished writing, they handed it to Lu Buwei. Later, Lu Buwei would use various reasons to call them back and ask them to write again, but Lu Buwei did not treat them badly. He entertained them with all kinds of food and wine. These ministers wrote hundreds of memorials in two days, but they were all beaten back.
When these ministers finished writing the memorial and were about to hand it to Lu Buwei, they were told that Lu Buwei had gone to the Weihe River to participate in the Battle of Defeating Heaven. For a while, these ministers understood that they had been fooled.
At this time, three thousand iron eagle warriors with black armor and iron faces holding long swords and five thousand imperial guards were standing on the bank of the Wei River. In front of them were the top military officials headed by three generals. Behind the five thousand imperial guards Among them, there are also Ziyou's acquaintances, such as Li Xin and Wang Ben. There are no fools in the families behind these people. Although they don't know how this matter will develop, they know that Ziyou will not use their reputation. It's a joke on Ying Zheng's prestige, so this matter must be of great benefit, so some families have made connections in the hope that outstanding members of their families can participate in this battle to defeat the sky.
Ying Zheng is wearing a black Gong uniform with gold embroidered dragon pattern on the edge, a nine-bead crown on his head, and around his waist is Tian Wen, who ranks first in Feng Beard's sword manual. Ying Zheng stands under the high platform of the Spring Festival. In front of the cauldron is a large cauldron. This cauldron was a trophy when King Qin Zhaoxiang destroyed the Western Zhou Dynasty. There was a long case in front of the cauldron. There were serious guards standing on the steps of the high platform. Ziyou stood behind Ying Zheng, holding a Bamboo slips.
Lu Buwei and Ziyou were side by side, looking at the back of Ying Zheng in front of them, their hearts were very complicated. Under the rising sun, Ying Zheng's tall and tall figure was like a giant mountain. As a burst of drums sounded, the sound of military drums resounded throughout the Weihe River. On the riverside, the sound of the waves of the Wei River formed a fierce war song, and the fierce war song made everyone's heart surge.
The people watching not far away were also emotionally aroused by the war songs, and some old people even shed tears on the spot. They thought of the days when they lived and died with Qin.
Ziyou looked at Ying Zheng and nodded. Ying Zheng's eyes gradually became firm, and he stepped onto the high platform step by step. Ziyou and Lu Buwei followed behind him. Ying Zheng stepped onto the high platform step by step to the beat of the drum, and looked at the big cauldron on the high platform. Ying Zheng stretched out his hand, and Zi You handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Ying Zheng's hand.
Ying Zheng opened the bamboo slips and looked at the locusts raging in the farmland on the other side of the Wei River. His eyes gradually became firm and he shouted to the big tripod.
"Today locusts are raging, harassing the people of our Qin State and spreading plague... The remaining heroes of the sixth generation of Fen in our Qin Dynasty, the Qin people and Xiaogong eat grass to fight against Wei, and fight with King Huiwen in Xianyang to attack Chu , Yang Wei and King Wu attacked the six kingdoms, and went out to Hangu with King Zhaoxiang to suppress the six kingdoms... Today I and the Qin people made an appointment with Tianming to eliminate the locust plague and avoid military disasters. If the sky does not listen, I and the Qin people will attack Heaven drives away the locust plague, and the heaven and the earth know it!"
After speaking, Ying Zheng threw the bamboo slips in his hand towards the big cauldron in front of him. As it gradually fell into the big cauldron, a raging fire ignited. Suddenly, the scorching sky was shrouded in darkness. The people and soldiers looked at the dark clouds in the sky. , some sharp-eyed people shouted
"It's locusts!!!"
Seeing the overwhelming locusts coming from the sky, the people retreated one after another. The envoys of the six countries looked at the locusts in the sky and gloated a little. Even the guards who had experienced many wars could not help but be afraid, but they did not retreat, but looked towards the high platform. On top of Ying Zheng, Duke He looked at Ying Zheng tightly holding the sword in his hand.
"The present day of our Great Qin was fought with the blood and tears of the ancestors of the past kings and the people of Qin. Our Great Qin has nothing to fear!!" Ying Zheng pulled out the Tianwen from his waist and looked at the locusts in the sky and said.
Ying Zheng's voice was not loud, but it resounded throughout the Wei River. The common people and soldiers couldn't help but calm down when they heard Ying Zheng's voice. A sense of expectation and security came from their hearts. Duke Lu took the lead in shouting
"Great Qin has no fear!!"
"Great Qin has no fear!!" The Qin people's voices echoed throughout the Weihe River.
The locusts in the sky seemed to be angered by the sound, and large swaths of locusts flew towards Ying Zheng on the high platform. Ying Zheng held Tianwen in his hand and looked at the locusts in the sky with a fearless expression. The strong wind blew the hem of his clothes away. ring.
"Bow!" Meng Ao shouted.
The locusts flew towards Ying Zheng. With the sound of releasing, countless sharp arrows shot through the air. Countless arrows shot out behind Ying Zheng, shooting away the locusts in front. The people looked at the resolute arrow on the high platform. The figure no longer looked fearful when looking at the locust.
"Kill!!" Ying Zheng shouted loudly, and chopped down the Tianwen in his hand at the locust in front of him.
When Ying Zheng's voice fell, the locusts in the sky rushed towards the soldiers below like a sweep.
"Jiujiao Lao Qin! Let's fight against the national calamity together!" Ying Zheng shouted.
"Jiujiu, old Qin, let's fight against the national calamity together!!" Duke Lu hissed.
"Jiujiu, the old Qin, fought against the national calamity together. Jiujiu, the old Qin, restored our rivers and mountains. There will be no truce until the blood is shed! There is the Great Qin in the west, and it is rising like the sun. It has been a hundred years of national hatred, and the sea is difficult to calm down! The world is in turmoil, what can we do? Kang Ning! Qin has warriors! Who can compete with us?" Three thousand Iron Eagle warriors and five thousand Imperial Guards shouted in unison.
The sound of shouts, the collision of armor, and the passionate sound of war drums resounded throughout the entire Weihe River, and the thundering waves of the Weihe River were also covered up by these waves.
"Kill!!" Following the order, Duke Heng took the lead and led the Iron Eagle warriors and five thousand Imperial Guards towards the overwhelming locusts.
The Iron Eagle warrior was in front, and the long swords in his hands seemed to be swung up and down at the same time. The airtight sword blade cut off everything in front of him. Countless locusts were cut in half under the sword blade. The guards waved their Changge, and every time they waved, a piece of locust was knocked down, and there were people behind them to follow up, and the entire army formation advanced in an orderly manner.
The special envoys of the six countries were so shocked by this chilling and courageous response to the national calamity that they no longer felt the same gloating as before. Instead, they were filled with fear. The common people were also infected by this chilling and exciting atmosphere, and the blood in their hearts was inspired to move forward. The locusts rushed away, shouting as they ran
"Jiujiao Lao Qin! Let's fight against the national calamity together!"
