Chapter 26: The court was shocked and everyone was stunned
"Report——"
"Front-line scouts bring back battle reports!"
Just when the court was filled with pessimism and everyone thought that Ying Ziye was surrounded in the State of Yan, a loud voice broke the silence.
When Ying Zheng heard this, he was cheered up!
"quick!"
"Bring someone in quickly!"
His voice trembled slightly, and one could imagine the pressure he was under these days.
Soon, a scout who was dusty and had a weathered face was brought into the main hall of Zhangtai Palace by the imperial guards.
"Your Majesty!"
"Following General Wang Jian's orders, bring news of victory!"
The scout knelt on one knee, holding the battle report written by Wang Jian himself in both hands and presented it to Ying Zheng.
“News of victory!”
"Haha! It's a victory indeed!"
"Li Si, come and read it to me!"
Ying Zheng was delighted when he heard this and asked Li Si to read it aloud.
This guy was the first to claim that his son was in danger and surrounded, and demanded troops to rescue him.
Now, he must be slapped hard in the face!
"As ordered!"
Li Si walked out awkwardly, took the bamboo slips from the scout, and felt as if his cheek had been slapped hard.
This slap in the face came too quickly!
Unfolding the bamboo slips, Li Si glanced over them roughly, moistened his throat, and prepared to read the battle report to Qin Zheng.
however.
When he saw the battle situation on the bamboo slips, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets!
An expression of extreme shock instantly appeared on his face!
The body is stiff!
My mind is blank!
boom--
The bamboo slips in his hand slipped off and he stood there in a daze, dumbfounded!
There was only one voice left in my mind.
this.
how can that be possible! ?
At this moment, Li Si's eyes were dull and his pupils seemed to have lost focus.
Standing there in a daze as if his soul had left his body!
Just one glance gave him a huge shock!
This scene.
Ying Zheng and all the ministers in the court were confused. What on earth was recorded in the battle report that could make the Tingwei, who was ranked among the Nine Ministers, become like this! ?
"Your Excellency?"
"Mr. Tingwei?!"
"Mr. Tingwei?!"
The court officials kept calling Li Si, their voices gradually getting louder. It took several times in a row to wake him up from the shock of the battle report.
"Ok?"
When Li Si came back to his senses, there was still confusion in his eyes.
The brain has not yet recovered from thinking.
At a loss!
who am I?
Where am I?
what should I do?
This is probably what Li Si is thinking at this moment!
Confused!
Completely confused!
"Lord Tingwei, the king is still waiting for you to read the battle report!" Wang Wan, who was on good terms with Li Si, reminded.
"Oh oh oh!"
After Wang Wan's reminder, Li Si remembered what had just happened and knew where he was and what he should do.
He quickly cast a look of gratitude towards Wang Wan.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty!"
"Please punish me, my king!"
Li Si bowed to Qin Zheng and admitted his mistake. After all, his behavior in the court just now was indeed inappropriate.
"It doesn't matter!"
"My dear, please read it to me quickly!"
Qin Zheng didn't care about these details. He was eager to know the contents of the battle report.
What kind of battle situation could cause Li Si, one of the Nine Ministers, to lose his composure like this?
after all.
Li Si followed him to fight against Lu Buwei and eliminate Lao Ai, so he can be considered a man who has seen many storms.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After Li Si saluted, he bent down to pick up the bamboo slips, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the shock in his heart.
"Report to the king: The war is urgent. Jian failed to send the battle report in time. I beg the king to forgive me."
It started with a simple confession, but no one paid any attention.
"The Second Young Master has led the Qin army to the border of Yan State, Wuyang Pass."
"The Qin army gathered 300,000 troops in Yan territory, vowing to defend the territory. The second prince used psychological tactics and proposed that if the King of Yan allowed Yan Dan to commit suicide at Wuyang Pass, he would consider withdrawing the troops."
"As a result, King Xi of Yan really fell into the trap and ordered the execution of Yan Dan in an attempt to appease the anger of our Qin State."
"However, Yan Dan disobeyed the king's order, killed Yan Yi, the general of Yan State, seized the military power of Wuyang Pass, and was determined to fight against our Qin army to the end."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but reveal a look of admiration.
Wang Wan, Chunyu Yue, Feng Quji and others lowered their heads in shame. They had questioned Ying Ziye's military talents.
How can this mean you don't understand war?
Clearly a genius in war!
but
Although he admired it in his heart, Ying Zheng still felt confused. Such a small victory didn't seem enough to shock Li Si so much, right?
Could there be even greater victories to come?
Li Si continued his narration.
"In order to defend the dignity of Qin and the king, the second son decisively ordered an attack on Wuyang Pass!"
"The catapults threw thousands of huge stones like thunder, and Wuyang Pass trembled in the roar, and the whole place was in ruins!"
"However, Wuyang Pass is the strongest pass of Yan State and is indestructible."
"The second young master leaped up, flew up on his sword, and condensed a 40-meter-long golden sword in the sky. With god-like power, he cut off the Wuyang Pass with one sword!"
Everyone gasped, all of them were extremely shocked!
A forty-meter-long golden giant sword!
Cut off Wuyang Pass with one sword!
This is simply a miracle!
It’s incredible!
However.
The bigger shock is yet to come.
"When Wuyang Pass fell, the Second Young Master immediately ordered a charge, preparing to break through in one fell swoop and strike directly at the heart of Yan State."
"Yan Dan is fighting a desperate battle, with 300,000 troops deployed, ready to fight to the death with our army!"
"The Second Young Master personally led 3,000 Snow Dragon Cavalry to charge into battle, advancing and retreating seven times. The 300,000 Yan troops were routed by their attack!"
There were exclamations one after another, everyone's eyes were as big as bells, their breathing was rapid, and their adrenaline was soaring!
Shocked!
excitement!
Be inspired!
so amazing!
Three thousand cavalrymen defeated an army of 300,000. This scene was simply shocking!
Never seen before!
Made history!
"Great! Great! Great!"
"My son Ying Ziye is indeed a brave and unrivaled man who has created history and made great achievements that will be remembered for eternity!"
Ying Zheng clapped his hands and praised.
"too strong!"
"It's hard to imagine, three thousand versus three hundred thousand, what a spectacular sight that would be!?"
“I wish I could experience it myself!”
"The second young master is invincible!"
"The immortals on earth, the eternal gods!"
Those ministers who had originally followed Li Si, Wang Wan, Chunyu Yue, Feng Quji and other important ministers to accuse Ying Ziye of arrogance now all became his supporters.
Can be imagined.
Ying Ziye is a land immortal who has made great military achievements. His status will surely be greatly improved after he returns to his country. If not now, when will we show our respect?
Just when they thought that was all the battle report.
Li Si spoke again.
As the noise in the court gradually subsided, everyone's attention was focused on Li Si. Was there any sequel?
"The 300,000 soldiers and horses of the Yan State collapsed on all fronts. The Second Young Master led his troops in pursuit, galloping 800 miles, beheading 100,000 enemies, and reaching the Yan State capital Jiyi."
"Then, he slashed open the gate of Jiyi City with his sword, and disintegrated the defenders in the city with the force of thunder and lightning."
"Capture King Xi of Yan and his ministers alive, and completely occupy Jiyi!"
"Yan Wangxi personally wrote the letter of surrender and announced it to the world!"
"Yan State..."
"Destruction!"
When the last word came out, Li Si felt as if all the strength in his body was drained away. His body swayed slightly and he almost fell to the ground.
It’s not that his will is weak!
It’s just that the impact brought by the content of the battle report is too strong!
