Chapter 51: One man and one sword, slaughtering Hun soldiers!
Huns!
For hundreds of years, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have always been a nightmare for the Central Plains region.
Whether it was Qin, Zhao or Yan, they all suffered from its invasions and were exhausted.
They live a nomadic life and each of them is a natural cavalryman with agile movements.
The grassland was their main battlefield. The Central Plains army had few rivals on the grassland and could only rely on solid city walls for defense.
just now!
The Huns were actually destroyed!
How can it not be shocking?
After learning the news, the people on the borders of Qin, Zhao and Yan surrendered to Ying Ziye without hesitation, because they knew better than anyone how terrible the Huns were.
The city of Handan in the State of Zhao.
There was a tense atmosphere at the moment.
The news that Ying Ziye destroyed the Huns swept in like the wind, and countless Zhao nobles wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads unconsciously.
He was glad that he had not harbored any disloyal thoughts when Meng Wu led his army away.
Although they did not have a detailed grasp of the battle situation, they understood that the destruction of the Huns would be accompanied by countless bones.
The recent purge of the Yan nobles was still fresh in people’s minds, which made the Zhao nobles feel a chill down their spines.
If they dare to cause trouble, Ying Ziye's army will probably come as quickly as autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves and wipe them out.
As soon as this news came out, the nobles of Zhao State became more law-abiding and behaved themselves more like obedient children, no longer daring to have any thoughts of restoring their country.
The Qin city of Xianyang.
A galloping horse ran wildly on the street, heading straight for the palace.
The people along the way looked at the war horses galloping past with confused expressions. Those were the war horses that were rushed from the border for 800 miles, carrying the heavy responsibility of delivering battle reports.
It's so weird.
Didn’t the second prince just conquer the two countries of Yan and Zhao?
Why are there more war reports coming?
The war horse disappeared at the end of the street amid the people's confusion.
Zhangtai Palace.
Ying Zheng was discussing with his ministers the future path of the Qin State, whether to recuperate to recover from the fatigue brought by the war, or to pursue the victory and attack the three countries of Qi, Wei and Chu.
"Report——"
"General Wang Jian sent someone to deliver the battle report!"
Meng Yi walked in from outside the hall and reported to Ying Zheng.
Another battle report! ?
Ying Zheng's heart tightened.
What has the second prince done now?
The two states of Yan and Zhao have been destroyed, and the rebellion of the Yan nobles has been put down. What war is there to talk about?
Did they wipe out the Zhao nobles again? Or did they attack Qi or Wei?
Once upon a time, he was so eager to hear Ying Ziye’s battle report.
Now, people are trying to avoid him as much as possible, fearing that he will do something shocking again.
Ying Zheng swallowed hard to calm his inner turmoil, and ordered Meng Yi, "Announce!"
A moment later, the messenger scout entered the hall led by Meng Yi.
"Your Majesty—"
"Following General Wang Jian's orders, we are sending you a report on the battle at the border!"
The scout knelt on one knee and respectfully presented the battle report with both hands, his eyes burning with fanatical worship, as if he was facing a god.
Faced with the scout's admiration, Ying Zheng couldn't help feeling a little elated.
Has my prestige really reached this point?
But he didn't know...
This fanatical admiration is actually directed at Ying Ziye!
"Chun Yu, my dear, would you please read it?"
Ying Zheng's gaze fell on Chunyu Yue, who shuddered instantly.
The last battle report left a deep shadow on him, and he really didn't want to read about Ying Ziye's battle results again.
"Your Majesty!"
"I, this old minister, have caught a cold and my throat is swollen and sore, and my voice is hoarse. I am afraid I am unable to do the job. I beg Your Majesty to choose another minister to read the speech." Ying Zheng and his ministers could not help laughing when they saw Chunyu Yue's panic. He was like a frightened bird. Once frightened, he would have palpitations for a long time.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to do it for you. I am also curious about what kind of battle report the Second Prince brought this time?"
Li Si stepped forward and volunteered to fight.
He admired Ying Ziye's courage to act according to the law despite criticism last time. This time, he wanted to witness whether Ying Ziye still dealt with the powerful people of Zhao State in accordance with the law.
"good!"
"Then you shall read it."
Ying Zheng nodded in agreement and did not force Chunyu Yue.
Li Si took the battle report and unfolded it carefully. When the words jumped into his eyes, he immediately took a breath.
Even though he had a premonition in his heart, Li Si was still shocked when he saw the content.
The body was stiff as ice, and the coldness swept through the whole body, as if the blood was about to solidify!
Cold sweat rolled down like rain!
His Adam's apple rolled up and down, he swallowed hard, and his eyes widened to the limit!
The pattern is too small!
He originally thought that Ying Ziye would at most treat the nobles of Zhao State the same way he treated the nobles of Yan State!
But he never expected that Ying Ziye would do such a horrifying thing!
It is simply earth-shattering and makes the gods and ghosts weep!
God!
Second Prince, how dare he? Where does he get the courage?
Does he really not care about being branded as cruel and inhumane?
Li Si's reaction made Ying Zheng and the entire court nervous!
Although they don’t know the details yet!
But they knew that it would be a shocking event!
Breathing! Breathing! Breathing!
Li Si took several deep breaths before he was able to calm his inner shock.
He spoke.
Ying Zheng and all the civil and military officials in the court held their breath and listened quietly.
“Report to the king: The Xiongnu took advantage of the war between Qin and Zhao to break through Yanmen Pass and kill innocent people.
"The Second Prince led his army northwards and single-handedly killed 50,000 Xiongnu soldiers in Yanmen City with one sword in one day!"
The whole audience gasped!
With one man and one sword, he slaughtered 50,000 Hun soldiers!
Even though they had heard of Ying Ziye's invincible feats, they still couldn't suppress the shock in their hearts at this moment!
Those are 50,000 fierce Hun cavalry!
God!
Even if there were 50,000 pigs and sheep, it would be impossible to kill them all in one day! ?
"Inside Yanmen City, corpses were everywhere, houses collapsed, and civilians died tragically. The Second Prince was furious and led his troops to the grassland.
"Within a few days, they swept through the 18 tribes of the Xiongnu and killed 400,000 Xiongnu!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Ying Zheng and his ministers' hearts began to beat wildly!
More than four hundred thousand!
Another four hundred thousand or so!
Before he could recover from the endless shock, Li Si's voice trembled again.
"Afterwards, the Xiongnu Chanyu Touman summoned the armies of various tribes, totaling 500,000 cavalrymen, intending to encircle and annihilate the second prince in one fell swoop!"
Five hundred thousand cavalry!
This number shocked everyone in the court!
What a tremendous power, it's so shocking!
Zhao Gao, Chunyu Yue and others cursed secretly in their hearts, hoping that Ying Ziye would be buried under the 500,000 iron cavalry of the Huns.
Only in this way, no one can stop them from moving forward.
However.
The facts ultimately disappointed them terribly!
"The Second Prince stood in mid-air, condensing a thousand-foot-long sword, issuing a fatal warning to the Xiongnu army!"
"With one sweep of the sword, 50,000 soldiers of the Xiongnu Tiger Division were wiped out!"
"Swing the sword again and kill the Xiongnu Chanyu. Tens of thousands of cavalrymen will be wiped out!"
"The long sword shattered and turned into a rain of swords, piercing through countless Xiongnu soldiers!"
"Finally, he led Meng Tian, Wang Li, Li Xin, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, and the Golden Fire Cavalry to fight day and night and annihilate all the remaining Xiongnu forces!"
"Hun."
“Destruction!”
After reading it, Li Si collapsed to the ground, feeling powerless all over, as if all his life force had been sucked away!
Ying Zheng and his ministers were unconsciously sweating, as if they had also experienced a life-and-death test!
fear!
Shock!
Rapid breathing!
Trembling body!
Everyone seemed to be in a snowy wasteland in the severe winter, the cold was biting!
