Longxi.
Ever since the Great Yue Clan's Royal Cavalry invaded Great Qin.
Li Xin led more than 10,000 soldiers in the city and had been defending for three days.
"General, what should we do? The enemy has too many people. If this continues, we might be completely wiped out.”
The deputy general who followed Li Xin said as he looked at the Great Yue Clan's royal cavalry that was rushing towards the city gate.
Li Xin stood on the city tower, holding a halberd.
As long as he saw someone charging at him, he would kill the other party.
"Reinforcements should be arriving soon. As long as we hold on, we can definitely defend the city.”
Staring at the cavalrymen below the city, Li Xin's eyes burned with anger.
In that battle, he lost to Xiang Yan and was demoted to guard Longxi County.
Now that the Great Yue Clan had invaded, if he still could not defend the city, he would probably never have the chance to make a comeback in this lifetime.
On a plain several dozen li away from Longxi County.
There was a military camp stationed here.
At this moment, in front of a tent in the middle, the Great Yue Clan King was staring at the city not far away with a smug look on his face.
"Based on the current situation, we should be able to take Longxi County today.”
"When the time comes, the money, beauties, and food inside will all be ours.”
"Your Majesty is mighty!"
"Your Majesty is mighty!"
When the surrounding soldiers heard this, they immediately revealed excited expressions.
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier rushed to the front of the Great Yue Clan King and cupped his fists.""Reporting to Your Majesty, the reinforcements of the Qin army have arrived.”
The Great Yue King asked calmly,""How many people came?"
"About 100,000," the soldier replied.
"What, 100,000?"
The Da Yue Clan's eyes narrowed, and then they sneered,""I didn't expect Ying Zheng to send an army of a hundred thousand men. But, this is good too. I can use them to test my new weapon.”
Looking at a general behind him, the Great Yue Clan King said,""Bring out our bronze bolts. We must take Longxi County today no matter what.”
"Yes."
Soon, giant crossbows half the height of a man were pushed out from these tents.
The Qin Dynasty also had crossbow bolts, and they were very powerful.
However, their crossbows were mostly made of wood.
The crossbow bolts produced by the Dayue Clan were basically made of bronze.
There was one advantage to doing this, and that was the long range and strong penetration.
After these giant crossbow bolts were pushed to the city gate tower, tens of thousands of arrows were fired at the city wall.
The incomparably hard city wall was instantly pierced half a foot deep.
Seeing this scene, Li Xin, who was standing on the city tower watching the battle, suddenly revealed a shocked expression.
"What kind of arrow is this? How can it be so powerful?”
"I've never seen this arrow before either. It should be a new weapon created by the Da Yue clan."”
At this moment, a Da Yue Clan general said,""Li Xin, you can't block my Great Yue Clan's divine weapon, the bronze giant crossbow bolt.”
"As long as you are willing to open the city gates and surrender, our king will not mistreat you.”
"You want me to surrender? Dream on.”
He had defended for three days and suffered heavy casualties, but he did not choose to surrender.
Now that reinforcements were about to arrive, he would not surrender.
Even if the other party had powerful crossbows.
"Alright, since you won't surrender, we can only attack the city by force.”
"Kill them!"
As the general's voice rang out, tens of thousands of bronze bolts shot towards the city wall.
After these bronze bolts pierced through the city wall, the cavalrymen behind them leaped onto their horses and stepped on the bronze bolts, climbing up the city roof.
"Stop them. Don't let them come up.”
Seeing this, Li Xin quickly waved the halberd in his hand and killed these soldiers who tried to rush up.
Several days later.
Xianyang, Zhangtai Palace.
Ying Zheng was sitting in his study, reading memorials.
At that moment, Li Si walked in hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. More than half of the 100,000 soldiers we sent were killed or injured in the battle with the Great Yue Clan's cavalry.”
"Li Xin sent someone to send an emergency document, requesting for backup.”
Ying Zheng raised his head. He was startled at first, then his eyes widened as he said,""What did you say?"
Li Si knew that there was no point in saying more, so he handed the document to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng reached out his hand and took it, then quickly opened it to read.
"The soldier who sent the message said that the Great Yue Clan had created a new type of ballista bolts called Giant Bronze Ballista Bolts. These ballista bolts are even more powerful than Great Qin's and can pierce through city walls.”
"It is precisely because of this that Great Qin's soldiers are unable to resist.”
After reading the letter, Ying Zheng frowned and said," No wonder you have the confidence to invade the Great Qin Empire. It turns out that you have created such a divine weapon."”
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, we should quickly send reinforcements. Otherwise, Longxi will definitely be lost."
" Of course, we have to send soldiers," Ying Zheng said with a frown." But, we have to send someone capable to lead them."”
After this battle, he no longer believed in Li Xin.
Thus, he planned to send another person to deal with the Da Yue Clan.
"Then who does Your Majesty plan to send?"
"Who do you think is suitable?" asked Ying Zheng, raising his head to look at him.”
"In terms of leading troops, Wang Ben, Zhang Han, and General Meng Yi can do it."”
"But I want Yun to go," Ying Zheng said thoughtfully.”
"Let Young Master Ying Yun go?"
Li Si was confused.
" That's right," Ying Zheng said." As the number one on the Wisdom Ranking List, it's a waste for him to stay in the palace every day. Why don't we take this opportunity to let him train himself?"”
Li Si looked worried." Although Young Master Yingyun is ranked first on the Strategy Board, he has never led an army before. I'm afraid it's inappropriate."”
" Even if he has never led an army before," Ying Zheng said," I think with his intelligence, it should not be a problem for him to defeat the Great Yue Clan's hundred thousand cavalry.”
Li Si pondered for a moment before cupping his hands.”
Ganquan Palace.
Ying Yun looked at the internal supervisor who had come to deliver the order with a shocked expression.
"What, you want me to lead troops to Longxi to support Li Xin?”
"That's right. Longxi is in a state of emergency. His Majesty sent out a hundred thousand soldiers, but they were unable to defeat the Great Yue Clan's royal cavalry. Li Xin once again sent people to ask for help. After discussing with Prime Minister Li, His Majesty decided to let Young Master lead troops to reinforce them.”
Ying Yun immediately fell into deep thought.
What the hell was Ying Zheng doing? Why did he suddenly think of asking him to lead his troops to reinforce them?
Seeing Ying Yun remain silent, the internal supervisor cupped his hands and said,"Alright, this subordinate has already passed down the order. Farewell.”
After the internal supervisor left, Ying Yun sneered, shook his head, and bitterly smiled."It's true that when people sit at home, disaster comes from the sky.”
Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and walked out,"In my opinion, His Majesty wants to train the lord. He also wants to see if the lord is suitable to lead troops other than resourcefulness.”
"After all, His Majesty has always wanted to conquer the western countries.”
"There are so many generals in Great Qin, why did you choose me?" Ying Yun asked.”
Zhuge Liang said," That's different. If you're talented in both civil and military affairs, I think His Majesty will be more at ease handing Great Qin over to you."”
"You mean that Emperor Shi Huang's father intends to pass the throne to me?" Ying Yun's gaze focused.”
Although he had made several meritorious deeds, it was not enough to make Ying Zheng change his attitude so quickly.
In his memory, Ying Zheng valued Young Master Fusu the most.
Even though Fu Su angered him and was sent to Shangjun to supervise the army.
However, in Ying Zheng's heart, the best candidate to inherit the throne was still Fu Su.
Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and said,"This is just my guess."
Ying Yun revealed a contemplative expression, and then said,"No matter what he thinks, since he has already given the order, I can only go to Longxi to take a look.”
Longxi.
After several days of battle.
More than half of the army sent by Ying Zheng had been killed or injured.
If it wasn't for the fact that both sides had equal numbers, Li Xin would have been defeated.
"General, why don't we retreat?”
The deputy general who followed Li Xin said,"If we continue fighting, I'm afraid everyone will die."”
Li Xin pulled out the sword at his waist and said angrily,""Whoever says retreat, this general will definitely kill them.”
He had finally found a chance to turn things around.
If he were to retreat now, Ying Zheng would definitely kill him.
"Kill, kill! Even if we have to fight to the last man, we can't let the Great Yue Clan's royal cavalry break through the city.”
The Great Yue Clan King rode on his warhorse and looked at Li Xin who had gone mad on the city tower. He sneered,""Struggling on the verge of death. Since he wants to die, then let's fulfill his wish.”
"Pass down the order to attack the city with all our strength. Whoever can kill Li Xin will be heavily rewarded by this king.”
"Yes, sir!"
As the Great Yue Clan King's voice rang out, tens of thousands of Great Yue Clan's royal cavalry charged towards the city like a tide.
