Chapter 172 The Emperor's Decree



Jiang Ziya also understood what Erlang meant, but he just sneered and said, "Erlang is right. The Emperor of Qin is also domineering. Can he use the word "saint" so easily?"

"Taigong, please take good care of Nezha. I will take care of the rest." Erlang stretched out his hand, and a three-pronged double-edged sword appeared. With a light tap of his toes, it turned into a stream of light and rushed out, heading straight for the city of Linzi.

Bai Qi spat, pulled the spear from the ground, pointed to the sky, and roared, "The emperor commands! Execute the general, seize the city, and then defeat the army! Now that the general has been killed, we must seize the city!"

The Qin army gathered behind him, waving their weapons and shouting, "The emperor has decreed, seize the city!"

"Capture—the—city—"

Bai Qi no longer hesitated, tapped the ground with his toes, and rushed forward.

At this moment, a streak of light suddenly appeared in the sky and rushed towards Bai Qi. Before he could defend himself, he was knocked to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"Capture the city? Are you qualified to talk about capturing the city?"

A cold voice came from the smoke and dust, directly suppressing the roar of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the sound could no longer be heard.

"If you wish to seize the city, ask the weapon in my hand if I can grant your consent."

The city before him was already filled with piles of bones, and there was no place to get out of the city.

Of the 100,000 Zhao cavalry archers, at least 50,000 were stationed on the Xinzheng city wall, firmly pinned there.

The role of these 50,000 Zhao cavalry archers is to stay on the city walls and slow down the efficiency of the Qin army in leaving the city.

"Lord Chunshen, should we sway first? Or should we attack directly?" Li Mu looked at the Zhao cavalry archers nailed to death on the city wall, and he knew why Lord Chunshen had agreed to attack the city together.

There are 50,000 nails on the city wall, and Chunshen Jun controls another 50,000. What else does Li Mu have?

The situation was overthrown in an instant, and Wang He simply broke out, allowing Li Mu to keep the military power in his hands.

"The three thousand Qin troops have an unknown route, so we must not act rashly. We should stick to the plan and avoid any further incidents."

Although Chunshen Jun guessed that the 3,000 Qin troops had returned to Qin territory to seek reinforcements, everything is subject to unexpected events and no one could predict whether there would be any changes.

Just as no one could have imagined that under the siege of 300,000 soldiers and horses, Wang He could actually lead 3,000 Qin troops to break out.

"Why worry so much, Lord Chunshen? We can just split up our forces and give them a pretext, and that will be all."

Before Li Mu could say anything, he heard the sound of bones rubbing against each other in the sky.

Chunshen Jun looked up and saw a horse skeleton coming towards him. He frowned, but then he saw a word "swallow" embroidered on the horse's clothes, so he put his mind at ease.

"Yan State's arrival couldn't be more timely." Chunshen Jun smiled and dismissed the gathered soldiers, allowing the horse bones to approach. "I didn't know the envoy was addressed like that."

"Just call me Ma Gu." Ma Gu landed on the ground, bowed, and said, "I just got the news and rushed over directly. It seems that I didn't delay the march."

"Since the horse bone envoy has arrived, that's the best." Chunshen Jun smiled and led the horse bones into the tent, leaving Li Mu aside.

Li Mu did not follow him, but sneered instead, knowing that this bastard was probably going to betray his allies again.

But he was in no mood to remind them, so he turned around and went back to the tent, waiting for the order to march.

Bai Qi looked at Erlang who came out of the smoke and dust. Although his expression did not change much, his vigilance reached its peak.

The person in front of him is the most powerful and poses the greatest threat to Bai Qi. Even Jiang Ziya cannot compare to Erlang in front of him.

"I don't know who this person is. Do you dare to stop me?"

But no matter what, it is impossible to lose one's reputation, especially under the imperial edict and the emperor's order, it is even more impossible to lose one's momentum.

"The honorific title is Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun, and that is Yang Jian."

Erlang didn't shy away from mentioning his name directly. He raised the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand and pointed at Bai Qi, saying, "Hey man, if you surrender now, I will spare your life and make you my hunting dog.

Otherwise, you will die miserably under my sword, and not even become a wandering ghost."

Bai Qi didn't get angry when he heard this, but sneered and said, "Your Majesty, if you bow down now and acknowledge me as your master, I will spare your life. Otherwise, I will use my spear to nail you to the wall of Linzi City, where you will be exposed to wind and rain for thousands of years."

"Erlang does have good teeth, but I wonder if his skills are half as good as his teeth."

Erlang sneered and raised the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand. It seemed as if a dragon roared, and then there was a flash of light and then it disappeared.

Bai Qi only felt a flash before his eyes, and his abdomen seemed to be pushed up by something. The surrounding scenery disappeared in an instant. When he could see clearly, he was already in the sky, before the order was given.

"What are you looking at, my dear? Are you afraid?" Erlang looked at Bai Qi and said sarcastically, "If you are afraid, then come and kowtow. I might soften my heart and let you go."

"Afraid? I think it's you who are afraid?" Bai Qi sneered and stopped arguing with Erlang. He waved the long spear in his hand and rushed towards Erlang.

How could Erlang show weakness? He just waved the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand and stabbed it straight out, directly hitting the long spear in Bai Qi's hand, leaving the spear unable to move forward or backward.

Bai Qi was a little surprised. Although he knew that the person in front of him was extremely strong, he never thought that he would be so powerful.

Even Wen Zhong who was in front of Daliang City before could not take his long spear so easily, let alone the long spear that was now under the order to shine everywhere.

"With such little strength, you still dare to argue? You don't know how to live or die."
