Under the extremely silent night, the lamps in the Sand Dune Palace flickered from time to time, like a ferocious beast entrenched on the ground, filled with an inexplicable killing intent.
"Yan Le, is everything ready?”
In the boundless darkness, Zhao Gao glanced at the sky above him and turned to look at his trusted son-in-law.
"Father-in-law, the heavy and heavy siege weapons have been transported over, and the guards are also in place.”
Yan Le, who had personally killed Huhai in history and was also Zhao Gao's trusted aide, answered with some worry.
Even though he wasn't sure of the White Robe Army's combat strength, it was clear from their words and actions that they were not an army to be trifled with.
"Order the Imperial Guards to press forward and take down the north gate in the shortest time possible.”
Zhao Gao paused for a moment when he heard that the troops and equipment were all in place.
To be honest, he wasn't sure if Zhang Han would mess things up, so he could only finish the battle quickly and take down the Sixth Prince.
"Here!"
Yan Le could tell that the white-robed army was not simple, so he did not let his guard down and replied.
"Soldiers, the Sixth Prince is leading the white-robed army in a rebellion. Follow me and quickly take down the north gate.”
Yan Le continued to bewitch the 30,000 guards who didn't know anything. He pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted loudly.
Even if they had control over the Imperial Guards, they still needed a righteous reputation. Otherwise, they would not be able to mobilize them.
"Kill them!"
Since this concerned the safety of the First Emperor, the guards didn't have time to think. They waved their weapons and shouted the word 'kill' in unison.
Immediately, a large group of figures rushed to the front of the north gate, which was the open area of the north square.
"Ready…"
"Release!"
The sound of hurried footsteps echoed in his ears. Ying Che raised his right hand high and then quickly lowered it.
"Sou…"
The white-robed soldiers who were hiding by the palace wall turned around almost at the same time and shot out arrows that were covered in flames.
"Not good, that's alchemical fire oil that can't be extinguished even with water!”
Just as he arrived at the north gate, Yan Le smelled a pungent smell and his expression changed drastically.
Just as he was about to order the guards in front to retreat, he realized that it was too late.
"Sou!"
The flaming arrow broke through the restraints and drew a beautiful arc before falling down on a fixed track.
In just a short moment, a large ball of fire suddenly rose, like a domino effect, engulfing at least half of the north gate square.
At least ten thousand of the guards who had rushed in were surrounded by the raging fire, and it was difficult for them to escape.
"Ah, water, where is the water!"
The scorching temperature covered their entire bodies, and many guards were suffering from inhuman torture. It was more than just excruciating pain.
Even if one's willpower was not weak, when faced with an experience that was more painful than death, one would only have the instinct to survive.
"Save, save me, save…"
His face was completely unrecognizable. Some of the guards scrambled and scrambled as they desperately ran towards their companions who were outside the circle of fire. They kept repeating the words 'save me'.
Beside the mangled arms, there were many bursting bubbles. It was a shocking sight.
"Could it be that the Sixth Prince isn't afraid of being labeled as a bloodthirsty person?”
A third of the guards were surrounded by the fire. Yan Le could almost smell the smell of cooked meat and exclaimed in disbelief.
"What's going on? It's impossible for the Sixth Prince to discover it. He actually set up an ambush with alchemical fire oil in advance!”
Staring at the tragic scene in front of him, Zhao Gao's heart couldn't help but sink, and his expression was as ugly as it could be.
"That's, sixth, sixth brother's familiar style. It's almost exactly the same as father.”
The smell of cooked meat filled Huhai's nostrils. He couldn't help but feel timid, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
Unknowingly, the uneasiness in the depths of his heart was awakened again. He began to regret his impulsive thought of killing his sixth brother.
"Those who achieve great things only care about the results. The word 'mercy' has never appeared…"
Looking at everything under the north gate, Ying Che had no other expression other than his calm face.
"Yan Le, immediately use the sand to extinguish the fire. Then, bring your men to charge at the north gate with all your might.”
The tens of thousands of guards had lost their fighting strength so easily. Zhao Gao's mood was extremely bad as he said in a deep voice.
If they didn't take down the North Gate and the Sixth Prince, they would be afraid that Zhang Han would lead the imperial guards of the South Yamen here.
"Here, father-in-law."
Yan Le let out a breath of turbid air after calming down his previous shock. He barely managed to regain his calm and said.
However, it was not hard to hear a tremble in his voice. He was clearly frightened by the big move just now.
"Soldiers, whoever is the first to reach the north gate will be promoted by four ranks and rewarded with a hundred acres of fertile land.”
Knowing that the blow to morale was very serious, Yan Le had no choice but to mobilize before the battle and use generous rewards to encourage them.
"Kill them!"
Under the stimulation of the generous reward, the remaining 20,000 guards roared together, as if they were venting their fear.
Immediately after, he lifted the scaling ladders on his shoulders and pushed the heavy machinery used to hit the palace gate-the tower car.
"Whoosh!"
Great Qin was famous for its powerful crossbows, and the white-robed Infantry soldiers raised their crossbows and coldly looked at the Imperial Guards below before lightly pulling the triggers.
Although the guards were well-trained and formed a neat shield defense, at such a close distance, the power of a single crossbow bolt was maximized.
“呯!”
With a dull thud, the arrow pierced through the air and pierced through the shield.
In an instant, before they could even scream, blood splattered all over the cold ground, leaving behind corpses that fell to the ground.
" Charge! Climb the north gate tower…"
The guards who wanted to climb up the narrow ladder could only brave the rain of arrows and launch a fierce attack on the north gate.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Standing at the edge of the palace, the white-robed infantry brandished their spears, which were more than five feet long, and kept thrusting downwards.
The sharp spearhead easily pierced through flesh and blood, and fresh blood spurted out from the corner of the guard's mouth. His entire body was like a kite with a broken string, smashing straight into the solid ground.
The white-robed army was indeed a famous elite in history. They cooperated with each other and perfectly displayed the killing of cold weapons.
“呯!”
When the guards were halfway up the mountain, they were greeted by hundreds and thousands of ice-cold spears. The gleaming cold light made people feel extremely desperate.
Every time the white-robed soldiers brandished their spears, a large hole would appear in their bodies, and they would fall into a pool of blood.
Like an emotionless machine, the white-robed soldier kept pushing away the bodies of his companions and stepping on the blood-covered palace road to kill his enemies.
" White-robed cavalrymen in position…"
In the darkness of the night, Chen Qingzhi led three thousand cavalrymen and deliberately circled behind the imperial guards, waiting for the order to charge.
