My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 136 Lu Buwei’s unsolvable problem!Xiong Mao died in battle!
Once there are more than ten thousand people, there is no limit.

Especially at night, it was difficult to see clearly in the distance. Everyone could only see the fire dragon crashing into the Qinian Palace, then turning into countless flames and surrounding the three floors inside and outside the Qinian Palace!

On the palace wall, Ying Zheng bowed his hands to Xiong Qi, Xiong Mao and Lu Buwei:
"The bandit army is powerful, including Lao Zhongfu and uncle!"

Lu Buwei and the others returned the favor with their hands in hand: "I must protect the king Zhouquan!"

Dropping his hands, Xiong Qi ordered in a deep voice: "Zhongchang Shihao will demolish the palace and take out the wood."

"The rest go up to the palace wall to fight the enemy!"

The doors of each palace in Qinian Palace opened, and a soldier wearing Chu style armor stepped out.

Five thousand Hakka soldiers and servants transferred by Xiong Qi quickly organized their formation in the Qinian Palace Square. Then four thousand soldiers climbed onto the four palace walls without hesitation, and one thousand soldiers swung their axes to attack the palace behind them.

Lu Buwei said quietly: "I order all gentlemen to die for the king!"

After Lu Buwei's death, the servant took out the horn horn from his arms and blew it vigorously according to a specific rhythm.

"Woo~ woo woo woo~~~"

Three miles west of Qinian Palace, a large amount of fire suddenly rose and quickly rushed towards Qinian Palace.

When he got closer, Ying Chengyu could see clearly that they were more than [-] elite soldiers wearing cooked bronze armor!
Ying Chengyu could not help but ask in a low voice: "I have never seen the main army."

Ying Zheng said quietly: "Father Zhong and all uncles have no regular army under their authority."

Ying Chengyu looked at the soldiers and horses inside and outside the palace wall.

Lao Ai had 1 soldiers and horses, including [-] private soldiers, all wearing Qin-style armor taken from the arsenal.

Xiong Qi and Xiong Mao commanded five thousand private soldiers, all wearing privately forged armor that was slightly better than the standard armor.

Lu Buwei has more than three thousand private soldiers, all with the best armor and weapons.

Even if you don't count the regular troops who can be mobilized based on their positions, the number of private soldiers that can be mobilized by these three parties is 5000!

Ying Chengxuan knew that this battle was a decisive battle for all parties, and he wished he could wipe out all his family wealth, or even take out loans to make bets.

But when you spend all your money, you can get [-] well-equipped and strong soldiers. Isn't this a bit too much?

And these are just the soldiers and horses put on the battlefield of Qinian Palace.

There is still a big battle in Xianyang Palace!

The total number of private soldiers in the two battlefields combined is more than the total force that small countries such as Weiguo can mobilize!
Ying Zheng asked softly: "Can you understand that we are brothers now?"

Put yourself in another person’s shoes: if you are the King of Qin, how can you panic when you have so many soldiers and horses under your command who don’t obey your orders?

Ying Chengyu sighed with emotion: "I'm dumbfounded!"

"But looking at it this way, the number of troops under Prime Minister Lu's command is somewhat lacking."

"Xiang Lu should have put all the people he can mobilize into this army, right?"

Ying Zheng looked at the old figure standing on the edge of the palace wall.

Lao Ai can use Zhao Ji's power to mobilize seven thousand private soldiers, and Lu Buwei's rights and abilities should be able to mobilize even more power.

But Lu Buwei could only mobilize three thousand private soldiers.

However, Ying Zheng knew that Lu Buwei could only mobilize so many people.

After a few breaths of silence, Ying Zheng's voice was a little complicated: "Compared to Lao Ai, he is so little."

"Compared to the number of ministers, there are so many!"

Ying Cheng was silent.

Should Lu Buwei have more personal power or should he fight alone like a minister he admires?
This was an unsolvable problem for Lu Buwei, and Ying Chengyu was not prepared to make things difficult for him with problems that even Lu Buwei could not solve.

He could only turn his attention to the battlefield.

"Sure enough, we are prepared." Looking at the soldiers emerging from the palace wall and the soldiers approaching in a hurry, Lao Ai smiled softly: "But how long can we defend with thousands of soldiers and horses, and no weapons to support them?"

After seizing the arsenal, Lao Ai not only obtained armor and weapons, but also a large number of ordnance used to attack and defend the city.

On the other hand, Ying Zheng's side, although their armor and weapons are more sophisticated, they don't even have a crossbow, let alone rolling stones and knocking trees.

The only tung oil that Xiong Mao sent in the name of a sacrifice can be called a city defense weapon!

Gently holding the horse's belly, Lao Ai took a few steps forward and shouted loudly:

"Order Zuo Geyi to lead his troops and two thousand retainers to intercept the enemy's reinforcements."

"Instruct Zuo Gexi to lead his troops and a thousand disciples to shoot at the city with crossbows."

Sun Xi and Tang Yi both raised their hands: "Wei!"

Tang Yi led three thousand soldiers and horses to meet Lu Buwei's troops.

Sun Xi quickly stepped forward with two thousand crossbowmen and formed an array 250 feet outside the palace wall.

"First row, raise your head high, target is directly in front of you, release!"

Following Sun Xi's order, two thousand crossbowmen pulled the triggers, and two thousand heavy crossbow arrows shot towards the palace wall.

Yingzheng's troops did not have Qin crossbows, and the range of the bows was far less than that of crossbow arrows.

Facing this overwhelming rain of arrows, Xiong Qi could only order: "Get out of the way!"

With an order, all the soldiers crouched down and hid behind the parapet.

A round of crossbow bolts failed to cause any damage, but Xiong Qi was unable to fight back.

And this has achieved Lao Ai's goal.

The dream of being a general that could not be realized last year was finally realized this year. Lao Ai shouted in a high-spirited voice:
"Nangong servants obey the order and form a team of a hundred people!"

"Take the ladder!"

"Push the car!"

"Build arrow towers and trebuchets!"

More than a thousand servants began to assemble engineering ordnance such as arrow towers and trebuchets.

Hundreds of servants drank a bowl of wine, picked up the ladder, pushed the carriage, and charged towards the palace wall!

Xiong Qi had no choice but to shout in a deep voice: "Defend the enemy with arrows!"

Taking advantage of the slight gap between the rounds of crossbow arrows, a thousand archers quickly stepped out and fired an arrow roughly in the direction of the servant.

Without looking at the outcome of the battle, the moment the arrow left the string, the archer hurriedly got back under the parapet.

"what!"

Screams were heard from up and down the palace walls.

No matter how fast the archers dodge, several archers will still be hit by the crossbow arrows.

And more than half of the servants in the city were lost!

But domestic servants have no human rights, and everything they have depends on Lao Ai.

Under Lao Ai's order, the servants could only watch as their companions fell beside them, roaring in fear and madness as they charged:

"Rush! Rushing to the palace wall is victory!"

"Kill the deposed king, and we will be the marquis!"

Xiong Qi snorted coldly: "Cum again!"

After two rounds of arrows, all the first batch of servants died outside the palace wall.

But Lao Ai had a smile on her face.

Trade the lives of a hundred servants for the lives of more than a dozen elite archers and two thousand arrows, and make a profit!
Lao Ai ordered without hesitation: "Servants, come in first!"

Round after round, the servants charged desperately under the command of Lao Ai. After each round of charging, the position of the ladder would be further forward.

Finally, the ladder was set up on the palace wall.

Xiong Qi immediately shouted: "Throw the wood down!"

A pillar of the bedroom was thrown down the ladder, knocking down all the servants who were clinging to the ladder.

There was even a ladder that was directly knocked down by heavy pillars and beams!
Lao Ai smiled: "With the houses in Qinian Palace, how long can you hold on?"

"Continue to charge!"

As soon as the pillar rolled to the ground, another group of servants rushed over and continued to climb along the ladder.

As soon as the war began, it reached a fever pitch.

In just two hours, from the front army of Lao Ai to the foot of the palace wall, there was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood!
At such a heavy price, Lao Ai finally exhausted all the wood that the Qinian Palace could provide.

More and more servants climbed up the palace wall along the ladder, clinging to the ladder with great difficulty.

"Climb first! Climb first!" "Hold the ladder! As long as we hold the ladder, there will be reinforcements, otherwise we will all die!"

Seeing that the situation ahead was excellent, Lao Ai shouted: "Two to five hundred master Zhao Zhou, attack the city!"

Zhao Zhou suddenly held up his hands and looked at Bu Cong behind him excitedly: "All the robes are elites who have been on the battlefield. It can be seen that the palace wall is crumbling."

"The superior officer ordered our troops to attack the city, and he gave us a fortune that would be astonishing to the heavens!"

"Wang Fei Wangzheng and Lord Chang'an are both within the palace wall, and the positions of the two marquises are waving to you!"

Listening to Zhao Zhou's words, all the soldiers' breathing quickened.

That is the position of marquis!

Normally they wouldn't even dare to think about it.

But now, the position of Marquis is so close to them.

All they need to do is rush up to the palace wall and stab Ying Zheng with their weapons!

Seeing that his morale had been boosted, Zhao Zhou shouted: "Climb first!"

Thousands of palace guards roared in unison: "Get in first!"

Trampling on the corpses of domestic servants, thousands of palace guards charged towards the city wall.

And this is also the first time that Lao Ai has thrown regular troops into the battlefield!

Xiong Qi looked at the charging troops and horses indifferently, and watched helplessly as the thousands of guards approached the city wall and climbed up the ladder.

Just when the vanguard was about to attack the palace wall, Xiong Qi decisively ordered: "Light the fire!"

Vats of tung oil poured down the ladder, followed closely by a torch.

In an instant, the tung oil was ignited, and the billowing flames spread downwards along the ladder.

All the wood that Xiong Qi threw down the palace wall turned into nourishment for the flames, nourishing the flames and making them burn even more intensely!

"Fire! Get out of the way!"

"People behind you, stop climbing up, the ladder is on fire! It's your mother's fault! Ah!!!"

"Withdraw the troops! Withdraw the troops first!"

The soldiers climbing on the ladder wanted to retreat in fear, but the soldiers behind were blocked by soldiers further back and could not make room at all.

In desperation, the soldier who had climbed up the ladder had no choice but to jump off the ladder, but what awaited him after jumping off the ladder was wood that had already been ignited!
The sudden fire instantly disrupted Zhao Zhou's formation.

Xiong Qi looked at Xiong Mao: "Thank you."

Quickly walking down the palace wall, Xiong Mao got on his horse, looked at the five hundred children of his clan behind him, and asked in a deep voice: "Children of the Xiong clan, do you dare to fight to the death?"

The five hundred disciples raised their hands and shouted: "Die for the king!"

Xiong Mao clamped his horse's belly tightly and shouted loudly: "Follow me to the battle!"

The palace door hidden under the flames suddenly opened.

Xiong Mao jumped out of the sea of ​​fire on his horse, and directly pierced the throat of a soldier with the spear in his hand.

Zhao Zhou was stunned: "The palace door is open?!"

Then Zhao Zhou shouted in surprise: "Hurry, seize the door!"

Faintly hearing the sound, Xiong Mao tightened the reins and clamped the horse's belly. The horse's speed increased again, and he rushed in front of Zhao Zhou in just a few dozen breaths.

"Serve Chang Mao?" Zhao Zhou clenched his spear and was eager to try: "All ministries obey the order and kill those who serve Chang Mao...ah!"

Before Zhao Zhou could finish his words, Xiong Mao's horse had already passed through the crowd and sent Xiong Mao in front of him.

The spear stabbed through Zhao Zhou's heart and interrupted his words!
"What a shame!" He complained. Xiong Mao threw Zhao Zhou's body to the ground and shouted angrily: "The enemy general is dead, why don't you surrender quickly?!"

On the palace wall, Xiong Qi was overjoyed when he saw this, and directly ordered: "Get out of the city and pursue the victory!"

Two thousand infantrymen rushed out of the palace wall and followed the gap made by Xiong Mao to form a counter-encirclement against Zhao Zhou's troops.

However, Xiong Mao had already led his soldiers to rush further away.

Seeing Xiong Mao's troops rushing in quickly, Sun Xilou ordered in panic: "First row, stand high, target the enemy cavalry, let go!"

The crossbow arrows shot out, and the cavalry kept falling off their horses, but Xiong Mao's speed did not slow down at all.

The purpose of his raid out of the city was for this crossbow army.

If this crossbow army is not removed, Ying Zheng's long-range forces will always be in a passive situation where they can only be beaten and cannot fight back!

Finally, after paying the price of nearly a hundred sacrifices, Xiong Mao finally rushed into the crossbowmen's formation.

Lao Ai curled her lips when she saw this: "It's finally here."

"But there are only 500 people, which is too few."

"Wei Wei Liu, let me destroy them!"

Lailiu ordered solemnly: "Come out on both sides and surround the enemy!"

Thousands of eunuch soldiers rushed out from behind the crossbowman, surrounding the crossbowman and Xiong Mao's troops like a pair of huge hands.

Sensing the outflanking enemy troops, Xiong Mao also felt a little nervous: "Don't worry about anything else."

"Follow me, sprinkle tung oil, and kill the crossbowmen!"

Hundreds of Xiong's children shouted in unison: "Wei!"

All the disciples used their daggers to pierce the pouch on the horse's back, letting the tung oil in the bag flow on the ground, and stabbed the crossbowman mercilessly with their weapons.

Sun Xi shouted in shock: "Abandon the crossbow and hold on to the sword, hold on!"

"Reinforcements have arrived. As long as we hold on, our army will completely annihilate the enemy."

"hold onto!"

Glancing at the enemy troops charging towards his headquarters, Xiong Mao looked anxious and ordered quickly: "Light the fire!"

"Target northwest, rush out of the enemy's position!"

All the disciple soldiers dropped their torches, and all the tung oil on the ground was ignited, and the flames spread around.

There are not many combustibles on the battlefield.

But aren't those Qin Nu that fell on the ground perfect flammable materials!

And they are exactly the goals of Xiong Mao's trip!

Looking at the flaming crossbow army formation, Laoliu's eyes darkened: "Now that you're here, don't leave!"

Pulling out the hard bow from his back, Lailai took out an arrow from his quiver and aimed it at Xiong Mao with the help of moonlight.

While holding his breath and concentrating, his fingers unconsciously loosened, and an arrow shot out.

"Hmph!" Xiong Mao felt a numbness in his abdomen, followed by a chill in his lower back, and he couldn't help but groan.

Looking down, Xiong Mao saw an arrow suddenly appearing in his abdomen.

Xiong Mao's eyes suddenly widened.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. As long as I can fight back to the city, I can ask Lord Chang'an to stitch the wound."

Muttering to comfort himself, Xiong Mao touched his back with his trembling right hand, and felt an arrow shaft 'growing' on his spine!
Xiong Mao hurriedly tried to clamp the horse's belly, but as expected he could no longer feel the presence of his lower body.

Xiong Mao looked bleak and exhaled bitterly: "Huh~"

Now that there are no stirrups or saddles, losing the legs holding the war horse means that Xiong Mao has lost the qualification to ride a horse, and he may fall off the horse at any time!
He can't go back!

Pulling himself together, Xiong Mao shouted angrily: "Children of the Xiong family, keep charging!"

After saying this, Xiong Mao reined in the reins and faced the pursuing enemy troops alone.

Some sensitive disciples noticed something and shouted in shock and sorrow: "Uncle, get on my horse and I will take you home!"

"Since we came together, we should return together!"

Xiong Mao shouted angrily: "Let's go!"

"Don't look back, go back to the city!"

Holding the reins tightly with his left hand, Xiong Mao lay next to the horse's ear and whispered softly: "Old man, please walk with me for a while longer."

"Appreciate~~~"

Xiong Mao lost the ability to pinch the horse's belly again, but the horse consciously stepped forward and launched a final charge towards the enemy.

Xiong Mao laughed heartily, held a spear and shouted loudly: "Xiong's family, Xiong Mao, is here."

"Who dares to fight me!"
