“Dong—dong—”
Wave after wave of war drums sounded, echoing in this empty space.
“Woo——”
A long horn sounded, accompanied by the drumbeats, which was somewhat tragic.
Wang He looked at King Anli of Wei beating the drum on the city wall.
Dressed in mourning clothes and with scattered white hair, this scene was even more tragic and majestic.
"Oh! Bring me your bow."
Wang He chuckled and took the longbow from his adjutant.
He drew his bow and shot the arrow in one smooth motion, without any other movements. Only Wang He shouted, "Hit!"
The arrow flew out and smashed the war drum that King Anli of Wei was beating to pieces.
"Get the arrow!"
"promise!"
But when he drew his bow again, Wang He lost interest when he saw King Wei Anli slumped on the ground.
He simply threw away the bow and arrow in his hand and ordered: "Pass the order, archers, prepare and shoot!"
"Pass the order! Archers, prepare, shoot!"
"Send the order..."
Shouts were heard one after another along with the waving of flags. Nearly 200,000 soldiers below began to move, densely packed like a passing dark cloud, and pressed fiercely towards the city of Daliang.
King Anli of Wei was already frightened out of his wits. He sat slumped on the ground in a daze, holding a drumstick in his hand, as if he was hitting something in vain.
But Wang He didn't care what happened to the people above him. The order was passed down, and there was only one way to go: execute it.
"middle--!"
The sound of countless bow and crossbow strings vibrating, accompanied by countless crossbow arrows flying into the city of Daliang, scared the so-called guards out of their wits and made them flee for their lives.
"Wait! Wait! I surrender, I surrender!"
It seemed that the vibration of the bowstring woke King Anli of Wei. He looked at the arrows falling like rain like a madman, shouted miserably, and was tragically pinned to death on the city wall of Daliang.
"middle--!"
Another round of rain of arrows fell. Let's see if there are any living people on the wall of Daliang.
"Send the order to the generals, attack the city! The first one to enter the city will receive the ninth rank of merit and be promoted to the position of Zuo Shuzhang!"
"Send the order..."
Wang He looked at the group of Wei soldiers who had no fighting spirit and knew that Daliang would be captured today.
In that case, there was no need for him to hang around. He slowly returned to the tent to think about how to attack Zhao.
As for this place, with Meng Ao and Lu Buwei here, nothing unexpected will happen.
Unlike the Wei capital Daliang, the area in front of Hangu Pass was indeed exceptionally quiet, so quiet that one could not feel the presence of more than 200,000 soldiers and horses stationed by the coalition forces.
Bie Gong looked at the coalition forces that had been inactive since their arrival, and he couldn't make up his mind.
After all, his abilities could not be compared with those of Xinling Jun and Lian Po, and he was indeed somewhat weaker.
However, even if he was weaker, he would still defend Hangu Pass as he should. With the advantage of geographical location and people, he really didn't think Hangu Pass could be broken.
The news that Ying Zheng had come to Hangu Pass had spread throughout Hangu Pass.
Although Duke Bie did not agree with Ying Zheng going to the city wall to beat the drum to cheer him on, it did not prevent him from spreading the news that Ying Zheng had come to Hangu.
After all, a royal descendant and the future King of Qin is in charge here, so there is no reason for these Qin soldiers with no status not to fight to the death.
"Sir, please reconsider. I assure you that no accidents will happen."
Biao Gong didn't know what was instigating Ying Zheng behind the scenes to go to Guan and beat the drums to cheer on the Qin soldiers, but it did not prevent him from disagreeing with Ying Zheng's request.
After all, this is the future king of the Qin Dynasty, the Emperor of Qin chosen by God and made known to everyone!
"Sir, please discuss this matter tomorrow. I have some things to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
It was not easy for Duke Bie to refuse openly. After all, Ying Zheng came with the king's order. He could only laugh it off and slip away with an excuse.
You have to know that Ying Zheng was the most favored one by Queen Dowager Huayang. Not to mention that Ying Zichu only gave a verbal order, even if Ying Zichu came to say it in person, Biao Gong would not dare to let Ying Zheng go up.
First, he was afraid that the Queen Mother Huayang would be angry. Although there would not be a severe punishment, it would be somewhat unpleasant. Second, as mentioned before, Ying Zheng was the person who was clearly indicated by God to build the hegemony of the Qin Dynasty. If anything bad really happened, he, Bie Gong, would be the first to take the blame.
It would be better to let someone else handle this thankless task. He had more important things to deal with right now.
Chen Xuan looked at the deflated Ying Zheng and rolled on the ground laughing.
Ying Zheng rolled his eyes at him angrily and said through gritted teeth, "You are such a heartless person! Otherwise, why would I come here to beg General Biao for help?"
Chen Xuan naturally stopped smiling and said sternly, "Why are you accusing me? If you didn't have this intention, would I be able to persuade you?"
Ying Zheng snorted and ignored Chen Xuan. He returned to his room in anger, looking at the Tai'a sword, thinking about how to sneak up on the wall.
Chen Xuan watched for a while, and seeing that Ying Zheng really ignored him, he chuckled and shifted his attention to the coalition tents outside the city, or to be more precise, to the Biao lying on the tents.
That beast had been roaring at Hangu Pass since it arrived. If it hadn't been unable to leave the army formation, it might have come over to scratch and scratch us.
The army formation was also endless, a black mass rushing over the area. Although Chen Xuan didn't know how many troops there were, he knew from the looks of it that they must be much more than the guards inside Hangu Pass.
"Then come and attack! I'm so anxious waiting for you!"
Chen Xuan seemed to be talking to himself. He looked around and then coiled up in the air, facing the direction of the tent, and fell asleep.
