Legend has it that every time a war begins, the wild beasts are most active because they have found their own dining hall and don't have to worry about going hungry.
Chen Xuan didn't know why this thought popped up in his mind.
The world before my eyes seemed to be stained with blood, filled with an extremely uncomfortable smell.
Where is this?
Chen Xuan looked at the blood-red world in front of him. It seemed to be a plain, covered with human corpses and a bunch of birds of prey and beasts galloping freely on the flesh and blood.
I'm wearing it again?
Chen Xuan was puzzled and moved slightly. This blood-red world was like a shattered mirror, scattered completely, revealing a dark world, which was the world inside the beast armor.
Is it an illusion? Or something else?
Chen Xuan didn't know. He didn't know much about this beast armor. It seemed that the function of this beast armor was just to make him Ying Zheng's golden finger.
Of course, every coin has two sides, and the other function of the armor seems to be to prevent him from changing history.
But now that I'm here, how can I be justified if I don't change a little bit? Not to mention for Zheng Xiaozi, just to live a little longer is also a great motivation.
Chen Xuan wondered what the transformation of the beast armor meant, or was it a sign of a new function?
This is a kind of blind trust. At least in Chen Xuan's cognition, this piece of beast armor would not be detrimental to him before Ying Zheng unified the country. As for after Ying Zheng unified the country, it depends on fate.
The beast armor was still circling around Chen Xuan. In addition to the two real ones, there seemed to be another illusory beast armor.
Chen Xuan stretched out his claws and touched it, and it passed through as if passing through the air, without any resistance at all.
Is it that it hasn't taken shape yet, or is it just an illusion?
Chen Xuan didn't know, so he touched it twice more. Seeing that nothing happened, he squinted his eyes and lazily lay in the darkness, quietly waiting for the dizziness to come and send him out of this world.
The wind seems to be very strong today. After all, it is the transition period between winter and spring. Although the sun is bright, it still feels cold.
Wang He had just received the geomancy map sent from Xianyang the day before yesterday, and he knew the military deployment in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Although it was not much different from his guess, it would definitely be better to be more accurate on the battlefield.
The original plan to attack the city yesterday was delayed for another day due to the arrival of the feng shui map.
Wang He looked at the group of elite soldiers behind him. Because they were marching in light armor, most of the things they wore could not keep out the cold. They had been walking like this for most of the half-month journey, and many of them had died on the way.
Fortunately, none of the Iron Eagle Warriors were killed. Of the 11,200 Iron Eagle Warriors, only 1,200 remained to guard Xianyang, and the remaining 10,000 were brought out.
After all, they were the elite troops in the Battle of Changping. Although they were a little old, their combat effectiveness was still strong. It could even be said that they were capable of sweeping across the six kingdoms.
Unlike Meng Ao's forces, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty consisted of only twelve cities, and the entire territory could be covered in just two days. Therefore, two thousand Iron Eagle warriors were assigned to Wang He. Adding the scattered Qin soldiers from the border areas, there were only about ten thousand troops.
Fortunately, none of the two thousand Iron Eagle Warriors were killed on the road.
Because they were wearing light armor and there was no big noise, even though they were less than a hundred steps away from the city, and there were trees and hills as cover, they were not discovered by the defenders.
The sun gradually moved westward. Wang He looked at the weather and gave an order. The adjutant immediately understood and waved the flag left and right twice. The generals below immediately understood.
Wang He slowly put on the helmet, picked up the three-stone bow beside him with his right hand, and the deputy general beside him hurriedly handed him an arrow.
"Pass the order, wherever this arrow lands, that's where the crossbow bolt will strike."
"promise."
The deputy general nodded in agreement and ordered the flags to be raised again. The soldiers behind him had already prepared their bows and crossbows.
These Qin soldiers were already running too fast, so it would only take them ten days to reach the destination. With the help of Chen Xuan's soldier soul, Dafeng, they would probably arrive in eight days.
The seven nights were spent maneuvering the Qin bows and crossbows. Strong crossbows in front, spears and halberds in the back—this was the tradition of Qin, or perhaps even the entire Seven Kingdoms, in fighting.
"middle--!"
There was a sound of bowstrings bursting, and the patrol guards on the city wall a hundred steps away fell down.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The Qin army has attacked, run quickly!"
The Zhou soldiers defending the city did not have the so-called determination to fight to the death. When they saw that the arrows that killed the patrol guards were made of Qin style, they did not even have the thought of resisting.
"middle--!"
Only three breaths after the last arrow was fired, the defenders heard a deafening vibration of bowstrings, which was the sound of thousands of bows and crossbows being fired at the same time.
Dozens of Zhou soldiers on the city wall were shot into sieves by crossbow arrows without even a scream, and were firmly pinned to the city wall.
Wang He looked at the commotion in the distance. According to the geomancy map given by Duke Wen of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there were less than two thousand soldiers and horses here. Not to mention defending the city, was there any chance of escaping?
"Commanders and soldiers, all those ahead are worthy of merit and honor." Wang He shouted, "Whoever enters the city first will receive a third rank of merit, and whoever kills a round of soldiers will be rewarded with one gold coin. All commanders and soldiers, follow me and charge!"
The shouts of ten thousand people gathered together could not even surpass the sound of Jingzhe.
The city ahead couldn't even offer the slightest resistance; it was ripped to shreds like paper. The city gates were even opened from the inside, but they were slaughtered before they could even raise the flag.
Shouts of killing were heard everywhere. Wang He seemed to be mad with killing intent. No matter who it was, as long as they appeared before his eyes, no matter if they were adults or children, no matter if they were men or women, old or young, as long as they were in front of him, there was only one word: death!
