The 30,000 Qin archers used their crossbows and fired at the same time.

The bolts that covered the sky rained down on his Yan cavalry like black rain.

In an instant, thousands of cavalrymen died from this wave of arrows.

Just when the Yan general thought that it was over and it was time for the Yan cavalry to show their might.

The well-trained Qin army pulled the crossbow in their hands and immediately fired another round of arrows at the Yan cavalry.

The entire process only took a short moment.

And this was just the beginning.

Every time the Qin archers finished a round of shooting, they only needed to pull on the crossbows and a new bolt would be fired.

Not long after, the Qin archers had already fired five or six rounds.

Half of the Yan cavalry under his command had already been killed or injured.

"Not good, everyone retreat quickly."

Then, the expression of the Yan Country's general changed. He shouted crazily, wanting his cavalry to retreat.

However, he had already rushed out.

How could they retreat so easily?

The voice of the Yan Country's general was drowned out by the neighing of the warhorses on the battlefield.

And the thirty thousand archers of the Qin country were still carrying out Wang Jian's orders in an orderly manner.

Each of them shot all fifteen arrows in one go before stopping.

After the Qin army's attack, none of the 70,000 Yan Country cavalrymen survived.

Even the mounts of these cavalrymen were basically all dead.

"Kill them!"

Following this, the 50,000 Great Qin Cavalry, who were wearing black armor and symbolizing the Qin Empire, charged out like an arrow towards the Yan Empire's army, which had been defeated twice and had been scared to the point of their morale dropping to rock bottom.

Behind them, the Qin country's infantry, who were also wearing black armor, followed behind the cavalrymen and pressed forward like a god of death.

Reaping the scattered Yan army.

"It's over. Our Yan Country has lost this battle.”

When the general of the Yan Country saw this scene, he could not help but feel a little dizzy. He felt that the entire world had dimmed. Then, he lost his balance and fell off his horse...

"Let's go to the next city.”

On a mountain peak not far away, Wang Jian, who was watching Qin Yan's battle below, turned around and spoke to his personal guard.

"These weapons are really powerful."

Deputy General Huan He looked down at the Qin army that was harvesting the Yan Country soldiers as if they were mowing grass. He could not help but exclaim in admiration.

"This general has already said that there is no need to doubt His Majesty, and there is no need to doubt the power of these weapons.”

Hearing this, Wang Jian turned around and said with fanaticism and admiration towards Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty is indeed one of the few wise kings in the world.”

Huan He couldn't help but nod.

And this was just a microcosm of the Qin country launching a great war against the three countries of Yan, Han, and Zhao.

……

Every few days, a piece of good news would be sent to Xianyang.

This made every citizen of the State of Qin who walked on the streets of Xianyang City smile happily.

At first, everyone was surprised.

Later on, the news of victory spread to Xianyang, and the people of the Qin country began to get used to it.

On this day.

Prime Minister Wang Wan, Imperial Censor Li Si, and Tingwei Feng Quji came to the palace to meet Ying Zheng.

"Wang He, Meng Ao, and Wang Jian have surrounded them. Han Country's capital, Xin Zheng; Zhao Country's capital, Handan; Yan Country's capital, Ji City.”

Hearing the good news that Wang Wan and the other two had reported to him, Ying Zheng was overjoyed.

Even Wang Jian, who was taking on the role of a general for the first time, was able to break through like a hot knife through butter and charge straight into Ji City.

As expected of a famous general in the later stages of Great Qin.

Even though it was his first time being a general and commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, nothing went wrong.

"However, Your Majesty, Yan, Han, and Zhao have sent secret envoys out of their cities, saying that they are willing to make peace, cede their cities, offer beautiful women, and become subjects of the Qin country, asking for our Qin country to let them go.”

At this moment, Prime Minister Wang Wan reported.

"What do you think about this question?”

Ying Zheng did not voice his opinion, but asked Wang Wan and the other two.

"Your Majesty, this subject feels that it is acceptable. Although my Qin country has already surrounded the three capitals, whether we can take them down and how much strength we will need to take them down is still unknown.”

"And if the three kingdoms were to cede cities, offer beautiful women, and a huge amount of money, they probably wouldn't be able to start a war in a short period of time.”

"After recuperating for a few years, our Qin country's strength will increase once more. Then, we can send out our army and destroy these three countries one by one.”

Prime Minister Wang Wan said.

"Your Majesty, I feel that this is a rare opportunity to destroy the three kingdoms. We shouldn't have agreed to the three kingdoms 'request.”

Feng Quji reported.

Li Si, what do you think?"

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si.

"Your Majesty, I also feel that this is a rare opportunity for my Qin country. Taking advantage of the weakness of the three countries, we should annihilate them in one fell swoop.”

"I beg Your Majesty to reject the request for peace and continue to attack the three countries of Yan, Zhao and Han.”

Li Si said.

Hearing this, Ying Zheng did not say anything for the time being, and Zhangtai Palace fell silent.

He was thinking about the personalities of Wang Wan, Li Si, and Feng Quji.

Without a doubt, as the Prime Minister of the Qin Country, Wang Wan had a steady personality and did not dare to take risks.

If he did as Wang Wan said, although it was stable, he would miss the opportunity.

As for Li Si and Feng Quji, they were similar to him and were willing to take risks.

Of course, with the current strength of the State of Qin, even if it was a little risky, it was nothing.

"I have the same idea as Lord Li and Lord Feng. I'll send an imperial edict to Wang He, Meng Ao and Wang Jian, telling them to ignore their request for peace and continue to attack the three capitals until they conquer them.”

Then, Ying Zheng gave the order.

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Prime Minister Wang Wan's face changed.

He knew that his suggestion might not be liked by the Emperor because it was safer.

However, he did not expect His Majesty to directly refute it.

"Your Majesty."

Wang Wan still wanted to persuade Ying Zheng.

"Prime minister, there's no need to say anymore.”

Ying Zheng waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, there's an urgent report from the network.”

At this moment, Zhao Gao trotted in with a secret report in his hand. He looked nervous and seemed to be in a critical situation.
