Watching the fire in Xianyang City, Wang Ben reacted first and said quickly, while the others were still in a daze.
“Send orders to the magistrates of Xianyang to put out the fire with all their might, and order the soldiers of the two counties to patrol the streets, so that no one may go out into the streets without a fire!”
“Anyone whose identity is unknown will be beheaded!”
“Anyone who takes advantage of the chaos to rob, beheaded!”
“Those who commit arson wantonly, beheaded!”
“…”
A series of orders were issued one after another!
But the messenger in front of him stood straight in place, looking out of the city, without moving.
Wang Ben’s eyes glared at this time, and a burst of power radiated from his body, saying that
“Don’t go and pass on the order yet!”
Now, every moment was crucial!
These county soldiers are just that, county soldiers, and should not be of any great use.
At this point the messenger pointed incredulously in the direction outside the city and said in a trembling voice that
“General, you… Look…”
Seeing this scene Wang Ben became even more furious, and while turning around, he said
“When things settle down here, let’s see if this general doesn’t properly…”
Wang Ben stopped in the middle of his sentence.
For under the city gates, in the darkness of the night, a single torch suddenly lit up!
The torches were slowly forming a line and converging into a sheet!
Finally, an almost endless sea of fire was formed!
The entire city of Xianyang was surrounded!
As a great general, Wang Ben naturally had a bit of military skill, and soon, through the torches, he counted the approximate number of men.
Over 100,000 people!
“How is this possible!”
Even though he had experienced the world, Wang Ben could not help but shout out.
He had certainly scouted the situation around Xianyang, not to mention 100,000, or a military movement of more than 500 people.
There were paperwork for all of them!
It was impossible that the other side’s 100,000-strong army had arrived at the base of Xianyang and he hadn’t discovered it.
But now the facts were in front of him.
He wondered if the enemy army had ordered more torches, but then he heard a burst of, murderous roar from below the city.
“Kill Zhao Gao! Save the Qin!”
“Kill Zhao Gao! Save the Qin!”
A chorus of shouts shot up to the clouds!
The Qin troops on the walls were stunned, no one had ever seen such a situation before, and looked at each other somewhat at a loss for words.
There were even some who were a little moved.
After the First Emperor had claimed illness, the traitorous Zhao Gao was in power and he was somewhat discontented.
Only for the sake of the Great Qin, they had to put up with it, but now.
Someone else was at the city and it was only to kill Zhao Gao, so what was wrong with that?
Luckily, by this time Wang Ben had come back to his senses and said in a stern voice that
“Go and pass on the order!”
“All troops on alert, prepare to kill the enemy!”
The enemy was loud and powerful, but at night, if it was a sneak attack, he was a little worried.
But this kind of siege battle, that was a joke.
But what else could the other side’s purpose in doing so be, other than to weaken the army?
Tiring them out?
They had the walls to fall back on, and at this rate the enemy army would tire first.
There is unrest in the city, but the army has been sent out and it will soon be quelled.
Once it was light, he would see the situation clearly and be able to deal with it all!
Only this time, he was a little confused about the enemy’s intentions.
Wang Ben frowned and looked to his own father, Wang Jian.
Wang Jian looked inside the city at this time, and then outside.
His whole eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly said that
“Well, well! Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!”
“Hahahaha, Lang’er’s Sun Wu’s Book of War was not read in vain!”
With that, Wang Jian burst into laughter.
Wang Ben, who was also intelligent, quickly understood and said, with a few moments of shock
“Father, you say this is the handiwork of Gongzi Lang?”
“But…”
Before Wang Ben could finish his words, Wang Jian returned that
“What father, I am now a righteous warrior against the Qin, not your father.”
“Well, I’m going to fight against the Qin, don’t you follow, you can’t use it because of the decisions I know!”
After saying that, Wang Jian left with his own personal guards.
Wang Ben looked stunned, but did not understand his own father’s thoughts.
He could only look out of the city with a frown.
At this moment, outside the city, Ji Wushuang was leading 100,000 peasants in shouting slogans.
The Qin army certainly had scouts.
But the scouts are not going to find out how many people have fled to the area around Xianyang.
Even if they did, they wouldn’t care about these old Qin people in their 50s and 60s, with their families.
Maybe there were some of their uncles and uncles among them.
These slogans were also set by Zhao Lang, just to shake the other side’s army.
And at night, all anyone could see was this sea of fire that was like an ocean.
Who would know that beneath this sea of fire were just old, decrepit men in their 50s and 60s?
Of course they wouldn’t attack the city, because the real battlefield was inside Xianyang City!
Ji Wushuang looked towards Xianyang City with some concern.
Zhao Lang had told her that he would get the Xianyang defenders to surrender of their own accord.
But how was this possible?
At this moment, inside Xianyang City.
When a fire rose within the city, Zhao Lang had already received the news.
So he arrived in front of the military camp in advance.
Where would the messengers bother to tell the difference at this point, they were directly told to go and clear the city of the rebellion!
Zhao Long quickly set off with his men extremely smoothly!
He headed in the direction of the palace without the slightest hindrance!
Along the way, he even met up with the lowly ones, the Mozi Rangers, who were already preparing for the journey!
There was no time to ask Mei and Vantage in detail at this time, he only had this half of the night to spare.
A long way away, Zhao Lang saw the palace walls!
At this moment, the enclosure was already lit up and heavily guarded.
An elite palace guard was standing by!
Seeing Zhao Lang and the others from afar, they shouted that
“Where are the troops from! Quickly clear the city, no one is allowed near the palace!”
Hearing the shout, Han Wangcheng became extremely excited and said that
“King of Zhao, let’s start the attack!”
How could he have ever imagined that by following Zhao Lang, they would actually make it all the way to Xianyang, to the imperial palace of the Great Qin!
As long as they captured the palace, the defending army of Xianyang City would be broken without an attack!
On the other side, Hu Hai leapt to his feet and wanted to take the initiative to fight, he knew several of the guards at the top of the city!
As for making a move, what’s the point of making a move at this point? Hurry up and call the father out!
Zhao Lang looked at the crossbows at the city head, but slowly shook his head.
No one knew the power of these crossbows better than he did.
If he really wanted his life to fill them, these two thousand men would have enough trouble.
It was a bit stifling to say the least.
All this good stuff, except for the black powder, and he hasn’t even used it yet!
“Little Six, tell everyone to take cover and start shouting to attract attention.”
Zhao Long quickly instructed.
“Shouting?”
Han Wangcheng was directly baffled, what time was this now?
What’s the point of shouting?
These palace guards were not those county soldiers, they were the dead soldiers of the Qin royal family, how could they surrender just because they shouted?
Xiao Liu, however, did not hesitate and led everyone directly to take cover.
When Xiao Liu left, Zhao Lang quickly said that
“Nu! Bring out the stuff.”
Nui quickly walked out and brought out several bamboo tubes, which Zhao Lang had told them to carry with them, adding up to dozens of pounds.
Zhao Lang looked at these bamboo tubes with a stoic face, inside were naturally black gunpowder, all the finest products from the Zhuang, which he had brought with him for emergencies.
What situation could be more urgent than now?
Blowing up the walls of the palace was not a problem.
That was the bottom line for him to take the palace!
This is the time when the picture is exhausted! There is nothing left to hide!
“Let’s begin.”
Zhao Lang quickly said.
In the next instant, the two thousand soldiers all shouted out and
“Zhao Gao is dead! The imperial palace has been broken!”
These words, of course, were not shouted to those in the palace, but to those on the city walls.
Imagine how long the county soldiers defending the city could hold out as they watched the 100,000-strong army surround them and the palace fall.
There was no point in their holding out.
The moment they heard the shout, the guards of the Imperial City sprang into action.
As he watched the Imperial City in chaos as well, Zhao Lang then narrowed his eyes slightly.
He hadn’t forgotten his other mission when he arrived here, to save his old man!
Now the people inside the palace should be on the move too!
Father! I’m here to save you!
—
Not long ago, inside the palace.
Qin Shi Huang, somewhat laboured, put down a scroll of bamboo slips, and Zhao Gao, who was beside him, said that
“Your Majesty, it is time to rest.”
Qin Shi Huang also nodded his head and said, with a few moments of emotion
“Also, my body has become more and more tired in recent days, but unfortunately I am not allowed to be idle.”
Zhao Gao hastened to say with a smile.
“Your Majesty is in the prime of life, why do you say that.”
“As long as you have time to recuperate well when Gongzi Lang returns, you will definitely get better.”
Qin Shi Huang at this time, however, revealed a bitter smile and said that
“I don’t know when this boy will arrive in Xianyang. ”
“It’s just that, go and rest.”
Zhao Gao hurriedly helped Qin Shi Huang up, and just then, a loud noise came faintly from outside.
Qin Shi Huang frowned slightly, it was the middle of the night, who made the commotion, did not know that it was an extraordinary time?
Zhao Gao also realized it and was about to go and check the situation when a black ice guard had come over with a serious face and reported that
“Your Majesty, a report has come from the city head, 100,000 enemy troops have appeared outside the city!”
“The call is, kill Zhao Gao and save the Qin!”
Before the Black Ice Guard’s words fell, Zhao Gao first froze, then involuntarily exclaimed that
“One hundred thousand troops? Where is the 100,000-strong army!”
How could Xianyang be raided by an army of 100,000?
How could Xianyang be able to withstand an army of 100,000 today!
And who was it that had such a grudge against him?
How dare they put up such a banner!
Zhao Gao panicked straight away.
Qin Shi Huang, however, had a sunken face at this time and said in a deep voice that
“What are you panicking about?!”
“I just don’t believe it, who can bring an army of 100,000 and arrive at Xianyang without a sound!”
“There must be a fraud!”
“Be on the alert! Search and report again! Find out the identity of the enemy!”
Zhao Gao, who by now had recovered from his initial panic, said with some disbelief.
“Your Majesty, could it be Gongzi Lang’s men?”
Now at this time, there was only Zhao Lang.
It wasn’t that Qin Shi Huang hadn’t thought about it, but even if Zhao Lang had a peasant family, there was no way he could get together an army of 100,000 men!
He was about to shake his head when another Black Ice Guard walked in at the door with an odd look on his face and said
“Your Majesty, a servant from the palace came to the contact point earlier, saying that the time had come to come and save Zhao Lang’s father from going out.”
Hearing this, Qin Shi Huang was outright stunned.
Zhao Gao even froze, saying
“Is it really Gongzi Lang?”
No sooner had he said that than a shout came into the palace that
“Zhao Gao is dead! The palace is broken!”
Hearing the shouts, Zhao Gao was once again stunned, and then hugged Qin Shi Huang’s thighs and said that
“Your Majesty, you must save me!”
He was suffering in his heart!
Qin Shi Huang froze for a while at this point since before he came back to his senses, and the next instant, he laughed freely and said
“Go, open the palace gates! Greet the Prince of Qin! ”
And with that he headed outside!
At this time Zhao Gao hurriedly said that
“Your Majesty, wait! Let me go and make a first stand! Your Majesty, you don’t know who you are, and swords have no eyes, so it would be bad if you got hurt by mistake!”
Qin Shi Huang thought about it and nodded as he could not afford to make a mistake at such a time.
With permission, Zhao Gao hurried outside, muttering under his breath that
“Gongzi Lang, you must be mindful of Uncle Zhao’s affection!”
At that moment, outside the palace.
Zhao Lang was waiting slightly anxiously for a signal from inside the palace.
Once Pops was safe, he would launch his attack!
Just then, Nu came over with a weapon in his hand and a face full of joy, saying that
“Master, your teacher is here!”
Hearing these words, Zhao Lang directly froze in
“My teacher?”
Wasn’t his teacher currently in Liaodong?
Besides, what time is it?
Soon, Zhao Lang noticed the weapon in Nu’s hand and
The Killing Wolf!
Zhao Lang’s face instantly understood that he could have more than one teacher, revealing a smile that
“Where is the teacher? Quickly arrange for him to be in a safe place!”
Now, however, was not the time to meet.
Slave laughed bitterly at this time and
“Your teacher has said that he must see you.”
It was only through the other man holding the weapon his master had used before, and the Junior Army, that he had identified the other man.
Zhao Lang hesitated and quickly said that
“Let’s get the teacher to come over.”
He couldn’t leave the front line now, however!
After all, the battle could happen at any moment.
Soon, Zhao Lang saw, for a long time, the teacher of military arts, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.
Hurrying up to greet him, the
“Teacher, what brings you here now?”
Wang Jian said as he looked at Zhao Lang and then at the arrangement around him.
“Not bad, it seems you have gotten the essence of the Art of War.”
“To actually impersonate the Qin army and make it all the way to the front of Xianyang Palace.”
“Just a hundred thousand troops outside the city, how did you manage to do that?”
“Hey, on my way here just now, I also saw the Mo family ranger, you still have ties with the Mo family?”
Zhao Lang heard a bitter laugh and said that
“Sir, this is not the place to talk, when the student takes Xianyang, I will talk to you in detail.”
Although Zhao Lang also had many doubts in his heart, it was not convenient to ask now.
Wang Jian, however, still had a smiling look on his face and said that
“No harm, you will soon take it, we will just have a chat.”
Looking at Wang Jian as if he was going to have a chat, the people around him were confused for a moment.
Even if this old man was the King of Zhao’s teacher, this was outrageous!
This was a time to die!
What are you playing at here?
Zhao Lang also revealed a bitter smile and was planning to just have the other party brought down and just make amends when the time came.
However, the killing wolf sent by the other party came in handy.
Just at that moment, a familiar voice came from the direction of the Imperial City.
“Ah Long! Ah Long! Is that you!”
“I’m your Uncle Zhao!”
Hearing the voice, Zhao Lang snapped and looked back to see Uncle Zhao standing on the city wall, shouting at him.
But Zhao Lang’s heart was cold; there was only one possibility for Uncle Zhao to appear here.
Pop’s plan to escape had failed!!!
