Zhao Mu and Meng Ao took the lead. They bravely advanced, bringing along the momentum of the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry. Like a huge black arrow, they barged into the Zhou army's stronghold and destroyed it like a rotten branch.
Just as Zhao Mu had expected, the Zhou army was too weak. It was unknown whether Duke Wen of Eastern Zhou wanted to take revenge on King Hao of Zhou, or perhaps he wanted to use the defeat of Qin to increase the prestige of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was already equivalent to the end of the world.
But no matter what, from today onwards, the Zhou Dynasty would be completely destroyed.
The Heaven Asking Sword danced in Zhao Mu's hand. The Thirteen Lethal Swords were swift and fierce. The Thirteen Lethal Swords were originally meant to kill. In this chaotic battle, they were like fish in water, allowing Zhao Mu to gradually master them.
The superfluous moves were removed, and the fancy moves were cut off, leaving only the most convenient and simplest sword moves to kill.
Zhao Mu and Meng Ao were like two sharp knives, easily destroying the resistance that the Zhou army had gathered with great difficulty. The Dragon and Tiger Cavalry marched straight in and set the tent on fire, causing a huge fire to rise into the sky!
There were also many soldiers of the Zhou army who were burned to death by the flames before they could come out.
A tragic howl resounded in the sky above the Zhou army camp, completely destroying the courage of the Zhou soldiers to resist. They began to flee, even abandoning their king, Duke Wen of Zhou.
Zhou Wengong looked at the scene in front of him and felt a stifled breath in his heart. Why would the Qin army appear here? According to the intelligence, the Qin army had clearly set up camp 30 miles in front of Hangu Pass. Five days ago, the Qin army had just arrived at Hangu Pass!
It had only been five days. Why would the Qin army appear here?
This didn't make sense. It was as if a divine weapon had descended from the heavens.
However, no matter how illogical it was, Duke Wen of Zhou knew that Great Zhou was about to perish.
His crown trembled and his body staggered slightly. Looking at the fleeing Zhou soldiers, he finally spat out a mouthful of blood and shouted angrily,"Ancestors above, future generations are unworthy. The Great Zhou is about to perish!”
"Hurry, Your Majesty!"
"Go to the Chu army!"
"The Chu army still has a large army. The Qin army doesn't have many people. As long as he survived, he would have a chance in the future!”The vassals beside Duke Wen of Zhou pulled him, wanting him to head to the Chu army camp.
However, Duke Wen of Zhou, who had always been gentle and weak, broke free from the pull of his officials and held the Emperor's Sword that was only used for decoration." Chu Jun, have you forgotten about the matter of Prince Zhuang's ascension? With our current state, what difference does it make whether we are in Great Qin or Chu?”
"Rather than that, I might as well die!"
His eyes flickered with the last of Tian Zi's dignity. He looked at the young man in a moon-white robe who was charging at the front. Judging from the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry following him, that man was the leader of this surprise attack.
It should be Zhao Mu, one of the rumored right-hand men that King Zhuang Xiang relied on.
"Kill!"
Zhou Wengong suddenly let out a shout. Under the shocked gazes of his officials, he took a step forward and raised the Emperor's Sword high. He ignored the scattered arrows and rushed towards Zhao Mu.
Zhao Mu raised his eyebrows slightly. With his strength, he naturally sensed Zhou Wengong.
Just from Zhou Wengong's attire, one could tell his identity. He chuckled. He thought that he would need to spend some time looking for him, but he did not expect him to take the initiative to come to his door.
Although his courage was commendable, his actions were really stupid.
Clang!
The Tianwen Sword gently flicked, and Zhou Wengong's sword was sent flying to the side. His arm was cut by the sword qi, and he fell to the ground. Zhao Mu casually cut off an arrow flying towards Zhou Wengong and said to the Dragon Tiger Cavalry beside him,""Take care of him and treat his injuries."
Zhou Wengong could not die, or at least not be killed by Great Qin. The Great Zhou Dynasty had been around for eight hundred years, so it still had some reputation.
He looked at the courtiers of the Zhou Dynasty who abandoned Duke Wen of Zhou and ran towards the Chu army camp. He could not help but laugh. Such courtiers could not even compare to their lord. He said indifferently,"Release the arrows."
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The crossbow bolts aimed and shot out along with the sound of the mechanism. They instantly penetrated the bodies of those officials and killed them on the way to the Chu army camp. The short distance of ten feet became a hurdle that could no longer be crossed.
After capturing Zhou Wengong, they had already achieved half of their goal.
The Dragon and Tiger Cavalry turned to attack the Chu army. Although there was a huge difference in numbers, Zhao Mu was not too worried. Firstly, the process of attacking the Zhou army was too smooth. The delay was very short. The Chu army was not fully prepared to defend. Secondly, the fleeing Zhou soldiers had already rushed into the camp without caring about anything else, causing quite a bit of trouble for the Chu army.
Xiang Yan had already gotten up when the battle cries sounded. If he was outside Hangu Pass, he would definitely be resting and sleeping without taking off his armor. However, this place was too far away from the Qin army, so he had let down his guard. Putting on his armor and armor had more or less delayed his time.
The first thing he did was to light up his banner with the word 'Xiang' in it and have his soldiers gather around him. The most terrifying thing about a camp being attacked was that the soldiers could not find a general, and the generals could not find a commander. Then, it would be a mess, and in the end, all of them would be finished.
He raised the Xiang banner, which was equivalent to giving the soldiers a backbone.
However, at this moment, the Qin army's attack on the Zhou army's camp had already ended. It was so fast that it was unbelievable. The fleeing Zhou soldiers rushed over, and the Chu soldiers were at a loss.
Xiang Yan made the right decision at this moment.
"Order the soldiers of the Zhou army to kill anyone who trespasses the camp!”
"General, I don't think that's a good idea." The eldest son, Xiang Chao, hurriedly advised. That was an ally of the Chu army. It was fine if they did not save him, but they actually wanted to kill him. If word got out, the reputation of the Chu army would be ruined.
Xiang Yan glared at her eldest son. Among the three sons, only the second son, Xiang Liang, had the demeanor of a famous general. The eldest son and the third son were really far from each other.
"If we wait for the Zhou army to rush over, our troops will not be able to gather. Are we going to be slaughtered by the Qin army?”Xiang Yan berated and ordered the soldiers to pass down the order.
