Even Ying Xuan was stunned by this shocking scene.
But in the eyes of the common people, soldiers and rebels, it was even more terrifying.
All they knew was that when Ying Xuan gave an order, even the lightning in the sky followed the order!
This is a miracle they have never seen in their lives!
This time, the way the county guard looked at Ying Xuan had completely changed.
The lieutenant swallowed dryly, not knowing what to say.
Even Zhang Han looked back at Ying Xuan and blinked in confusion.
The people who charged forward looked at Ying Xuan with gratitude in their eyes, but now they were filled with awe.
Tens of thousands of people, whether rebels or our own.
Everyone swallowed dryly.
This was like a scene of divine punishment, which frightened them a little.
Among the people present, the only person who was surprised but not shocked was Sigou Zai who was hiding behind the army.
There were green leaves tied on top of his head, and only one head popped out, looking at it with bright eyes.
"Young master's order! Heaven's punishment obeys it! The rebels will be defeated in one strike! The people of Chu will surrender!"
He became more and more excited. What he recorded in these days almost exceeded the truth he wanted to pursue in his life.
He became more and more eager to return to Xianyang and publicize these things, preferably to the point where the entire Qin Dynasty knew about it!
"You bumpkins, feel the shock of being the Chosen One!"
At this moment, Ying Xuan didn't know what people were thinking, and was still glad that the crossbow arrow did not fly away due to lightning.
He turned around and left the crossbow phalanx to work on its own, and began to move forward with hundreds of forbidden troops.
However, before making the final attack, he still sent a few people to go around to the back of the old royal city to check!
Guarding against enemy reinforcements outside the east gate of Shouchun, they were caught off guard!
At this moment, the people in the crossbow phalanx were gritting their teeth and pulling the heavy crossbow strings desperately.
Amidst the shouts of the five hundred masters, the crossbow arrows moved little by little.
It was like a thunderstorm, swaying left and right according to the direction of the wind.
But from the perspective of the rebels below the old royal city.
The arrow rain seemed to have eyes.
Wave after wave.
Wherever they flee, arrows will follow them!
Thousands of rebel soldiers, with barely half a cup of tea, were completely defeated by this terrifying long-range suppression.
Zhikun, who was scared back into the tower, has stood up again.
At this moment, he was also shocked as to why the other party still had endless crossbow arrows.
What happened to the thunder and lightning just now?
Did what he and others did really anger God?
He was a little panicked at the moment, but when he saw the scattered soldiers below, he even started to rush into the royal city in order to survive.
It’s better to step forward to stop it immediately!
With nearly a hundred Vietnamese people, they used crossbows and gravel to desperately stop these soldiers who were completely frightened.
"Let us go up! Let us guard on the tower!"
They shouted for help.
But Zhikun remained expressionless and refused to answer!
The rain of arrows in the sky was like the horn of death, and each time it fell, it continued to kill the rebels.
Not to mention maintaining the phalanx, it was extremely difficult for the rebels to hide.
The soldiers have gone crazy! They desperately want to survive, and they no longer even care about the control of the Gu.
It's all death anyway, now it will be a while to live a little longer!
At this moment, a Yue man ran from the depths of the palace and said something.
Only then did Zhi Kun be willing to open the city gate and let some of the nearby remaining soldiers enter the city!
Wait for the Huaiyang army to approach the city.
In addition to the arrows and corpses all over the ground, there were only a few thousand scattered remnants left.
The captain stepped forward, disarmed him effortlessly, and drove him aside.
Finally there was no longer any obstacle between the army and the royal city.
The county lieutenant stepped forward and shouted angrily.
"Your troops have been exhausted here, why don't you open the door and surrender!"
"Maybe the young master is so kind that he can leave you to wait for a whole corpse!"
Zhi Kun on the city wall was not afraid at all, and even laughed ferociously.
"Whole corpse?"
"You guys should attack us! I won't even be able to keep the whole body alive!"
Seeing his arrogant look, all the soldiers wanted to rush to the city gate and tear him apart!
But Ying Xuan hadn't given any orders yet, so no one acted rashly.
At this moment, Ying Xuan frowned in thought.
Why doesn't the opponent set up defenses on the city wall that is easy to defend?
Instead, all the soldiers were wasted outside the royal city.
It's like they don't care about these people's lives.
But what other tricks can they have up their sleeves?
Is it possible that I have really guessed it? Is there an army of theirs in the east of Shouchun City that has entered the city to ambush?
Are these soldiers bait to lure him into the city?
Ying Xuan was a little troubled, he really didn't see through the other party.
Even with the clues skill that had been activated for a long time, he didn't notice anything strange around him.
Except for these hundred Yue people, there was no extra movement on the tower!
Ying Xuan frowned and ignored the other party's ridicule. Instead, he quietly waited for the scouts who took a detour to the east of the city to return!
The remaining troops of the Huaiyang Army cannot withstand the opponent's ambush! Care must be taken.
…
In the Imperial Palace of Xianyang City.
Ying Zheng looked at the already lit sky with an expressionless expression.
This is already the fifth day since Ying Xuan left!
I don’t know how this bastard is doing now, or whether he can bear the pain of traveling a long distance.
Don't tell me, now every morning without this kid, everything is pure.
The days are a bit boring!
Ying Zheng silently watched the morning sun rise from the east.
There was a person walking from a distance in the quiet palace square.
Meng Yi half-opened his eyes, yawning and sighing secretly.
The young master has been away these days, and His Majesty has been asking about political affairs every morning.
After asking, I asked again at noon, and again in the evening.
It seems that they are discussing the remaining hidden dangers, and they are afraid of making any mistakes and ask about the planning process.
But every time I would ask casually, how is Jiujiang?
How can I answer?
The Jiujiang rebels have so little strength that he can't make a big difference no matter how hard he tries.
The secret guard sent messages three times a day, which was just a little bit of movement.
But is this what Your Majesty wants to hear?
He asked three times a day. If he answered the same question three times a day, then this would be the end of the story!
Meng Yi came to Ying Zheng with dark circles under his eyes.
He bent down and saluted, walked in without saying anything, and casually found a place on the left to kneel down and sit down.
Ying Zheng turned around and asked his servants to present breakfast.
After all, it would be a bit inhumane to call someone here so early and ignore the meal.
Sit back to the front seat.
He looked at Meng Tian who was also yawning on his right, with a look of contempt on his face.
"You are in your prime, where did you two brothers get so sleepy!"
Meng Tian had no choice but to give Meng Yi a look.
"You should report the situation in Jiujiang quickly!"
"After the report, I can go back and catch up on my sleep!"
But Meng Yi is also helpless, but Jiujiang’s news last night hasn’t been updated yet!
At this time Ying Zheng asked.
"How are things going around?"
Meng Yi replied with half-open eyes.
"The news of Jiujiang's rebellion has almost spread everywhere!"
"The secret guard responded to the message this morning. There are some movements in hidden dangers everywhere!"
"For example, the recent Tian clan from Linzi, old Qi! The old clans like the Zhao clan from Handan have become restless!"
Ying Zheng nodded and said casually.
"Then it's time to close the net!"
Meng Yi blinked and thought that you made the plan. You don't know whether I should close the net or not?
But he didn't dare to say it, so he could only raise his eyebrows vigorously and said.
"It's still a little bit worse than planned. After all, the big fish hasn't moved yet!"
Ying Zheng nodded, and then answered casually.
"Then just wait! How is Jiujiang?"
really! Meng Yi grinned helplessly.
He didn't mention the rebels at all, he just speculated.
"According to the time, the young master arrived in Juyang yesterday and had a day of rest before entering Jiujiang today!"
"His Majesty sent a herald two days ago to recall the troops from Huaiyang and Sichuan counties."
"Young master, I'm just afraid that if you take a quick look at Shangshang's knowledge when you first arrive, you'll follow the Huaiyang army and evacuate!"
Meng Yi paused and then added.
"Shou Chun is not that easy to break. Even if the Huaiyang County Sheriff tries his best, it will be a stalemate at best! It's good if we can retreat without defeat."
"Young Master only brought two hundred people with him, so he can't be of much help. As long as he doesn't participate in the war, there won't be any danger!"
"Your Majesty, please rest assured!"
Ying Zheng was quite satisfied after hearing this, and did not ask about the situation of the rebels and counter-rebellion!
He waved his hand and said.
"Really? It seems it's all according to plan!"
"Then let's have a meal!"
Meng Yi grinned, just because of these few words.
The two brothers looked at each other helplessly. Meng Yi hurriedly took a few bites and then excused himself, leaving Meng Tian alone.
Seeing that Ying Zheng was in a better mood, Meng Tian spoke without hesitation.
"The situation in Jiujiang is changing in the future, and people from all walks of life are mixed together. If you want to achieve the predetermined results, I'm afraid it will take a long time to indulge!"
"If your Majesty is really worried, why not issue an order and order the young master to go south to supervise the army in Baiyue!"
"South Vietnam is already a turtle in a urn. I'm afraid it will be completely captured in a few days. By the time the young master reaches South Vietnam, the fight will have been over! At that time, Baiyue will be more stable than here!"
"In this way, the young master can not only see the entire Daqin River and Mountains and gain experience along the way, but there will also be less danger!"
Meng Tian's words made Ying Zheng's eyes light up.
But he still had an indifferent expression on his face, turned around and said.
"The Southern Expedition Army has indeed worked hard! It is indeed necessary for this bastard to go and reward the soldiers on my behalf."
"This move will not only boost the morale of the army, but also prevent him from causing trouble in Jiujiang! It's a double kill!"
"Zhao Gao! Just do what General Meng Tian said and go to Jiujiang with the next order!"
Zhao Gao, who was not far away, responded hurriedly.
…
Meng Yi dozed off on the way back while listening to the latest news from his subordinates.
"Sichuan County's 60,000 troops went south and suppressed the three small cities of Quyang, Yinling, and Zhongli miserably."
"Although the rebels are quite numerous, if they continue to fight like this for a few more days, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for long. I just don't know why Your Majesty ordered them to withdraw again!"
"Aren't the private actions of the nobles in various counties enough to warrant precautions?"
Meng Yi scolded without opening his eyes.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"
The subordinate immediately realized that he had crossed a line and hurriedly kept silent and continued to report the news.
"As for Shouchun, the Huaiyang Army's several attacks on the city have not achieved much results! After all, there are not many troops. It is very difficult to trap Shouchun and prevent it from expanding outward."
Meng Yi nodded, this was exactly what he expected.
In this way, the young master should not get involved in the battlefield. As long as he does not enter the battlefield, there will be no danger.
"In addition, the Xiang family in Kuaiji has started to make more moves in the past two days, and he might be the first to take action!"
Meng Yi opened his eyes when he heard this.
"Xiang family? Descendants of Xiang Yan? You shouldn't be so brainless!"
