Outside Huaining County.
The army had already set out.
However, the speed of the army was limited by the number of people, so it could not be considered very fast.
What did a 500,000 strong army mean?
In ancient times, once an army was mobilized, it would be in the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.
That would require the same number of logistics personnel to ensure smooth supply!
During the Sui Yang Emperor's era, Yang Guang had mobilized 600,000 troops to attack Goguryeo.
The 600,000-strong army, along with the logistics personnel, took an entire day to leave the city!
As for the 500,000-strong army led by Zu Long, because of Ying Li's existence, they did not bring too many logistics personnel.
However, with more than 500,000 people, it was impossible for them to move as fast as they could.
After all, most of them were infantry, and cavalry was only a minority!
Along the way, Zu Long rode on his horse, with Ying Li and the others accompanying him.
"Li 'er, in the content you released yesterday, who was that Xiang Yu who appeared at the end?？”
"In the scene yesterday, this person set fire to Xianyang City, right?”
The Ancestral Dragon's voice was so cold that it was as if ice was about to fall.
"Xiang Yu…" Ying Li frowned, his face dark."That old Qin man is right. I can only give him a one-word evaluation!"”
"Butcher!"
"A standard butcher!"
"Regarding this person, your son will specially present images to introduce him to Imperial Father in detail!”
"The most important thing now is to rush to Xianyang City as soon as possible and kill Xiangyu!”
The Ancestral Dragon nodded slightly.
...............
On this day.
The whistling northern wind stirred up a red haze, and the sky of Xianyang was a misty dark red.
The fallen leaves scattered in all directions under the whistling of the north wind, and the withered branches made a rustling sound in the harsh autumn atmosphere.
Under the red haze, the city wall of Xianyang City was a strange dark red color, as if it had been soaked in blood for months.
Almost all of the people on the city wall were old, weak, sick, and disabled.
If the Chu army really attacked the city, none of these people would be able to resist effectively.
On the city wall that was once soaked with the aura of the Ancestral Dragon, Ziying was inspecting the city wall with a worried expression.
Although it was said to be an inspection, it was actually just looking at the Chu army from afar, waiting for death to descend.
"Lord Ziying, why didn't you enjoy the last bit of time in the city and come to check on the enemy's situation?
The guard on the city wall had long given up resisting. The despair of the past few days had long pushed him to the brink of collapse.
If not for the warm Ziying who came to encourage him every day, he would have jumped off the city wall and died!
His eyes were like a pool of dried up stagnant water. Even if he threw a stone, it would not cause any ripples.
Ever since they learned that Xiang Yu was heading to Xianyang City, the garrison had been reduced to walking corpses.
He was only alive to wait for his death a few days later.
In the guard's heart, suicide was better than being crushed to death by Xiang Yu's army like a chicken after the city was breached.
As for resistance? A grand death?
Those thoughts had disappeared without a trace when Huhai was in power.
Although Ziying felt depressed, he still raised his head and forced a smile.
It was as if he wanted to bring a little hope to the people of Xianyang City through his smile.
"No matter what, I will accompany you until the end!”Ziying encouraged as usual.
However, he was also filled with despair.
"I hope that when the time comes, the lives of the members of the royal family will be exchanged for your new life."
................
On the bank of the Wei River, which was more than ten miles away from Xianyang City, the camp of the Chu army was bustling with people. The flag of the Chu army was fluttering in the wind!
Xiangyu, the self-proclaimed Overlord, was giving a lecture on the drill ground.
Xiang Yu stood in the middle of a simple platform made of fresh wood, holding his sword.
His body was tall and sturdy, his hair disheveled. What did not match his appearance was the cruelty and bloodlust that flickered in his eyes from time to time.
His hands were covered in calluses and stained with the blood of countless innocent people!
Xiangyu first looked at Xianyang City, which was not far away from the city gate, with a fierce gaze. His killing intent was almost tangible.
His red eyes stared for a long time before he suddenly turned his head and shouted,
"This king is only ten li away from settling the world!”
"Xianyang City was destroyed in an instant, and the Bao Qin Dynasty was reduced to ashes in two to three days!”
"However, this king has yet to take revenge on Bao Qin!”
"This king is the Overlord of West Chu! This king remembers clearly how Chu was destroyed!”
"In two or three days, this king will take revenge on that Bao Qin!”
"At that time, kill Ziying, slaughter all the old Qin people, dig up Mount Li's tomb, and burn Xianyang!”
"I want the raging flames of Xianyang City to last for several months!”
"I want to use the ashes of Xianyang City to pay tribute to the Chu Country that was destroyed by the violent Qin Dynasty!”
"Soldiers, listen up!"
The hundreds of thousands of Chu soldiers on the drill ground were moving about, densely packed.
Xiang Yu raised his sword with his right hand and shouted,"
"After Xianyang City falls, I will allow all the soldiers to plunder the property and women in Guanzhong!”
"Long live the Overlord!"
"Long live the Overlord!"
The Chu army on the drill ground kept shouting wildly, and their faces were filled with excitement and cruelty that made one shudder!
It was as if hundreds of thousands of wolves were howling.
The earth-shaking shouts crossed the bank of the Wei River and pierced into the ears of the people in Xianyang City like sharp knives.
It made the already trembling Xianyang City tremble even more.
because they know
Those thousands of shouts were like a butcher's knife hanging above their heads!
They knew that the butcher's knife would soon slash at their necks!
Huhai and Zhao Gao, who were in Xianyang City, heard the angry roars of the Chu army. Their faces were as pale as quicklime that had been soaked in water.
"Teacher, let's escape!"
"If we don't leave now, it'll be too late!"
"Xiang Yu's brutality has spread throughout the world. I don't want to die like this!”
Huhai was an emperor with no status at all. In such a dangerous situation, he only had two guards by his side, and they were arranged by Zhao Gao.
"Where to?" Zhao Gao was flustered and his body was numb. He was also panicking and had no idea how to find a way to survive.
"Hundreds of thousands of Chu troops have arrived at the bank of Weishui River and surrounded Xianyang City!”
"Now, not to mention the two of us, even a fly can't fly out of this iron barrel-like encirclement!”
"Don't think about escaping. Find another way!”
Zhao Gao's mind raced, and he instantly thought of an idea.
"Your Majesty, do you know about the traps in the Imperial Mausoleum?”
" You want to!!?" Huhai understood Zhao Gao, and he was instantly shocked. He instantly understood what Zhao Gao was trying to do.
"No matter what, no one can disturb Father's sleeping place!”As Huhai thought about it, cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He felt as if his heart was tied up by a hemp rope and he could not breathe.
"This is the only way out!" Zhao Gao's devilish voice drifted into Huhai's ears.
.................
The pre-war mobilization rally on the bank of Weishui River had come to an end.
Hundreds of thousands of Chu soldiers sharpened their swords.
The army led by the Ancestral Dragon was rushing towards Xianyang without stopping.
