Chapter 188 Yinman leaves the city

Tie Ying cupped his hands and said, "We are all gathered together, waiting for His Majesty's will."

"how many people?"

"one thousand."

Ying Zheng remained silent, and finally said: "It doesn't matter, when our Da Qin's life and death are at stake, we have to mobilize as many as we can."

"Do all the swordsmen have families?"

"Some of them are there and have been settled."

Ying Zheng raised his head and took a deep breath. He seemed to have aged ten years suddenly. "Very good. The families of those who died in battle will be given preferential treatment. The people of Xianyang will remember them."

Tie Ying knelt down. Under his black clothes, his body was trembling, which was caused by excitement.

Black Ice Platform is a shady organization. Although they are directly dispatched by His Majesty, they are never known to the public. Only Your Majesty will remember them when they live, and only Your Majesty will know when they die.

As someone else's son, his parents didn't know that their son was working for the court, but they praised those who served the country every day. They were only envious, but they lamented the uselessness of their own son.

This kind of scene was encountered by most of the Black Ice Platform swordsmen, but they were helpless. Their status prevented them from saying anything.

At this moment, His Majesty actually said that the people of Xianyang would remember them, and he wanted to make them public.

This move, for Hei Bingtai, was worth it even if he died.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. If Black Ice Platform does not capture the thief king, he will never return to the court until he is killed in battle."

He stood up, bowed to Ying Zheng, and he disappeared.

At this critical moment, Ying Zheng gave them a task, which was to kill the leader of the 150,000 bandits and force them to retreat.

The old man looked at the disappearing black figure, his body tensed up and his eyes were filled with tears.

Just when Ying Zheng was about to return to the palace, Feng Qu suddenly walked in in a hurry, full of joy: "Your Majesty, good news, good news!"

So impatient, "That boy Li Zhao is so good, it's a miracle that he can tinker with such a good thing!"

"What good stuff?" Ying Zheng was curious and asked Feng Quji to speak quickly.

"This food is enough to satisfy hunger and can temporarily solve the food shortage in Xianyang."

"What?"

"A round, red-skinned potato is called a sweet potato. It is edible when cooked. One piece can make you not hungry."

"One makes people not hungry. This is a good thing. How many are there?"

"There are hundreds of thousands of stones, which have been put into the market. The price is very cheap, and the people are going crazy. Chang'an Township said that this is just the first batch, and it will be provided continuously in the future."

"It's true! The difficulties in Xianyang can be solved for the time being." Ying Zheng looked very excited. He had known that Chang'an Township was tinkering with something, but he didn't know that it was something like this.

"Is there anything else?" He could tell from Feng Quji's words that there was something else.

"Yes, they are golden birds. I heard that a batch of these birds are produced every month. The first batch has been produced now, and there are 150,000 of them."

"Golden birds? Great! These birds are rare, but Li Zhao can produce a batch of them every month. He is really worried about Da Qin."

"No, that kid likes to hide things and only take action at critical moments. This is his style." Feng Quji agreed, praising Li Zhao highly.

Ying Zheng nodded.

"Your Majesty, Li Zhaoli has made such great contributions to Xianyang and the Qin Dynasty. I beg your Majesty to reward him."

Ying Zheng nodded, he would do this even if Feng Quji didn't say anything.

Taking action when the Qin Dynasty was in danger, this kind of contribution was already equivalent to destroying one hundred thousand enemies.

"This is necessary, but we must first solve the current dilemma." Ying Zheng's face became solemn.

"Dilemma?" Feng Quji thought of something, and his expression became serious.

Yes, they both thought of the same place.

The famine in Xianyang has been temporarily alleviated. It is impossible for the bandit army not to know that their siege method has failed. The two of them are not stupid and can certainly imagine what they will do next.

"Defend Xianyang immediately."

One day later, in Chang'an Township, the guards' spies hurriedly came back to report that the rebel army had appeared and was coming to Chang'an Township, but there were only 50,000 of them.

"Fifty thousand?" Li Zhao's face became serious after hearing this.

There are 150,000 rebels, and 50,000 have passed through Chang'an Township. What about the other 100,000? It should be noted that Chang'an Township is the only way to Xianyang. It is not impossible to travel with other places, but there are many cliffs and the mountain road is difficult to travel.

For a long time, this is not an option.

"Is it a sneak attack?"

Li Zhao's expression changed.

It is the usual way to reach Xianyang via Chang'an Township. It is the easiest to reach Xianyang, and it is also a place with relatively tight defense. The roads in other places are dangerous, but the defense is relatively weak.

After all, the Xianyang garrison only had 50,000 troops, so it was impossible to cover everything.

In other words, the bandits relied on their large numbers to attack Xianyang from all directions.

This was to disperse the defenders' strength, Li Zhao thought deeply.

The bandit army has deep planners.

"Send an order to General Zhang Han and ask him to disperse his forces and defend the four directions."

At this moment, Li Zhao had to do this. Although he divided the fifty thousand army into four parts, each of which was more than ten thousand, which was not enough compared to the bandits' 150,000 army, he had no choice but to do this.

At present, we can only rely on advanced weapons to see if we can withstand the rebel army and save Xianyang.

"No!" The soldiers who followed Li Zhao flew away immediately.

"Send a message to the scouts to conduct a close inspection of Xianyang and report any situation immediately."

Li Zhao gave the order, and the guards immediately flew away.

"Wu Quan, light the firewood immediately and check whether the mines will be exposed. Everyone hides in the defensive trench and prepares to fight."

Li Zhao ordered, he climbed up the hill, took out his telescope, and took command personally.

In the era of cold weapons, most battles involved two armies confronting each other. However, there were only 600 troops in Chang'an Township and 50,000 troops facing each other. The only way to contain the rebel army was to engage in an ambush.

In fact, with these advanced weapons, the best way is to fight an ambush.

"Report, the bandits have arrived three miles away." A guard spy came to report, and the spies were exploring farther and farther away these days.

Li Zhaoma sent an order to get everyone ready for battle.

When they learned that the rebel army was coming, it was a lie for the people of Chang'an to say that they were not nervous or scared. After all, they were not regular soldiers and had never encountered such a dangerous situation. Even Wu Quan, a veteran, clenched his fists tightly. No one knew

His fists were already filled with cold sweat.

"Boss, will we die later?" a guard said fearfully.

No fists, staring into the distance.

He didn't know how to answer this. Facing an army of ten thousand rebels, there were only six hundred of them, and they were all old and weak. It was hard to say whether they could protect themselves.

"No, we have to believe in the young master and the weapons that the young master gave us." Wu Quan could only encourage the guards in this way, his eyes falling on these weapons.

For more than two months, he had been facing these weapons every day, and he had become quite familiar with them, but he had never seen their power. He was unsure.

If the power of these weapons is average, no one knows how they will end up facing an army of 50,000 thieves.

The guard nodded, but his body was still trembling. Wu Quan's words of comfort could not eliminate the fear in his heart.

This guard is just one of many people, and there are many who are afraid. The situation of the farmers is even worse, but in order to defend Chang'an Township and protect their paradise, they cannot retreat.

It was this heart that made him persevere, although the fear was not eliminated.

At this moment, Xianyang City was in panic. The scouts had detected the arrival of the bandits, and the entire palace was also in a state of tension.

Zhangtai Palace.

"Your Majesty, the bandit army is approaching Chang'an Township, and I'm afraid they will be at the city gates in less than half a day." Feng Quji looked serious.

This is the rhythm when the war is about to begin.

Ying Zheng was pacing back and forth, with his hands behind his back, his brows still unable to clear away.

Feng Quji continued: "In order to prevent the people from panicking, I have ordered people to pacify them and ordered the doctor to monitor them. Anyone who rebels will be executed."

"You did a good job." Ying Zheng nodded, "Just leave Xianyang City to Lang Zhongling. You immediately order the army to send scouts to investigate closely and report the war situation at any time."

"No!" Feng Quji bowed and raised his hands.

Ying Zheng thought for a moment and asked, "Has Li Zhao deployed his defenses?"

"Defenses have been deployed, but no one else can." At this point, Feng Quji stopped talking.

"How are others?" Ying Zheng asked.

"We are in Chang'an Township, Zhang Hanzheng is strictly guarding the city defense." Feng Quji couldn't bear to say any more.
