"yawn--"
Su yawned slightly, but just yawned, and then stared straight ahead, not daring to slack off for a moment.
Su was a guard in Xianyang City. Although he was not as capable as those who fought on the battlefield, it was still a good position.
No one knew what happened in Xianyang last night, and the entire palace was surrounded.
Not only the royal palace, but all the residences of court officials were completely surrounded by the soldiers brought back by Wu'an Jun Wang, and no one dared to stick his head out.
These naturally had nothing to do with Su. If there was any impact, it was just that he got up a little earlier today.
They have been standing here since early morning. Although there has been no order from above, their inspections today have unconsciously become stricter.
However, the atmosphere today seems a little off.
Su couldn't tell what was wrong, but he just felt that there were fewer people entering Xianyang today.
Su didn't take it seriously. After all, it was almost time for the shift change, and it was better to have fewer people around. At least he could take a break for a while.
Although not many people dared to cause trouble in Xianyang, the last time Xianyang was on guard, Ying Zheng brought 150,000 surrendered soldiers back to Xianyang.
Xianyang now should be exceptionally peaceful, if we ignore the undercurrent that has just receded.
“Dong—dong—”
This was a different kind of sound. It seemed to be very far away, yet very close, which made Su feel strange.
The earth seemed to tremble at the sound, shaking the dozen or so Qin soldiers in front of the Xianyang city gate so that they could hardly stand.
"What, what is that!"
Su looked at Que beside him - he was in the same class with Que and lived on the same street as him, so naturally they had a better relationship.
The place Que pointed to was very far away, at least in Su's eyes.
It was a black dot, a moving black dot. If one had better eyesight, one could see that the black dot seemed to be waving a flag.
Combined with the previous movements, Su could no longer tell what this thing was, so he was no longer qualified to defend the city.
It was an army, an army marching at full speed.
"Martial law! Martial law! Close the city gates and notify the general, there seems to be an enemy attack!"
Su didn't know why he shouted out like that. He felt a sense of oppression unconsciously in his heart. This sense of oppression arose when he looked at the black spot.
The already serious atmosphere in Xianyang was completely exposed, and the undercurrents hidden underneath were completely revealed.
Su didn't know why he shouted it out, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with shouting it out, and it couldn't be wrong.
Now none of the Qin troops stationed abroad can be recalled.
Duke Biao is still stationed in Hangu Pass, and Wang Jian is stationed in Anyi. Now they should go to take over the cities ceded by Zhao. Wang He returned yesterday.
None of the Qin State's major generals could come back, and apart from them, only Ying Zheng was left outside.
But when Ying Zheng left, he only took 120 soldiers with him, so it was impossible for such a thing to happen.
As for whether the guards of Yongcheng would come to send him off voluntarily, that was simply impossible.
The guards of Yongcheng were no match for those of Xianyang. Su asked himself if they could make such a move. If they couldn't do it, it was even more impossible for Yongcheng to do it.
Since all possibilities have been ruled out, the probability of an enemy attack is very high, probably unprecedented.
This is extremely absurd and impossible.
There are many ways to enter Xianyang, but the only way to enter Xianyang from the outside is through Hangu Pass. Even the coalition forces of various countries cannot reach Xianyang directly without making any noise.
But it is better to be safe than sorry. In any case, martial law is the only solution now.
As for how to deal with it later, it depends on subsequent developments.
The black dot moved little by little, and soon became an outline, a clear outline.
Just as Su and the others thought, it was an army, an exceptionally gloomy army.
This was the thought of everyone present. Although there was still a long way to go, a chilling feeling came directly through their hearts and pierced straight into Su's heart.
Neat! Extra neat!
Su had never seen such a military appearance. Although only the outline was visible, and he could clearly see the dark mass behind it, he always had a feeling, a feeling that this was one person.
This feeling is terrible. Everyone has his or her own ideas, and no army in the world can be unified.
A feeling of fear arose in Su's heart, and this emotion seemed to be contagious, making the entire Xianyang defenders feel a little depressed.
But being in decline is one thing, and whether the city can be defended is another.
For this group of guards, who had not seen bloodshed or achieved any merit in eight hundred years, they should have been excited to face such a situation, but they still could not suppress the fear that emerged from their hearts.
As they got closer, the outlines became closer. Although the appearance of the soldiers at the front of the row could not be seen clearly, their attire was indeed that of Qin soldiers.
The flag was also black, with a large word "Qin" embroidered in the middle.
But this is not a reason for Su and others to let down their guard.
"Wu'an Jun orders, draw the crossbow!"
A shout came from behind, and along with the order, there were bursts of trumpet sounds.
“Woo—woo—”
When the horn sounded, the feeling of fear was diluted a little. Everyone roared and growled, as if venting the fear in their hearts.
"Wu'an Jun orders, draw the crossbow!"
"Wu'an Jun's order..."
It just so happened that this sound was echoing throughout Xianyang, along with the sound of trumpets and the sound of soldiers moving throughout Xianyang.
