Lu Ming glared at him, "There couldn't possibly be so many troops inside the imperial city! What trick did you use?!"

Before coming, he had thoroughly investigated the situation and knew that the number of troops in the imperial city was limited. With such a large force, he was confident that he could easily take it over.

Ying Zheng looked at him with a piercing gaze, "You didn't inform me that you were going to attack the capital, nor did I have an obligation to tell you how many troops were here, did I?"

"However, you'll find out soon enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, the main gate of the imperial city slammed to the ground with a bang, and several side gates on the side also collapsed.

There were rows of cavalrymen waiting in neat rows in the imperial city, so many that they couldn't be seen at a glance.

"Crush them!"

At the command of the leading Qin general, hordes of cavalry surged out and charged toward Lu Ming's army.

Upon seeing this, Lu Ming's expression changed in surprise. "What's going on?!"

Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly. "A person whose eyes are blinded cannot distinguish between prey and bait."

Lost in thought, Lu Ming's expression suddenly changed, and he looked sharply at Ying Zheng on the city wall, "Could it have been a trap from the very beginning?!"

Upon closer reflection, everything seems to have gone too smoothly.

Whether it's Ying Ye's successful appointment, the transfer of troops, or his smooth entry into Xianyang, directly threatening the imperial city...

Everything seemed to fall into place naturally, as if a powerful hand was pulling everything together from behind.

But when the imperial city was finally captured, everything came to an abrupt end, forcing Lu Ming to start thinking in that direction.

Ying Zheng continued to look down at him, his gaze as if he were looking at an ant, his face showing no emotion whatsoever.

It was as if everything was within his expectations, so he didn't need to show any surprise. He could just stand there quietly and wait for the result.

Seeing this, Lu Ming understood immediately, and his face turned ashen. "Indeed, it's a trap."
