On the same day.
Xu Que stood on the city wall, holding the head of the envoy, and shouted at the millions of troops: "Qin Wang, you old thing, wait for me, tomorrow I will bring troops to kill you!"
This move caused a riot among the Qin soldiers, but fortunately Bai Qi suppressed the soldiers in the army.
And in the Eastern Tang, because of Xu Que's move, the people were excited.
"Good shout!"
"Our monarch must be so strong-willed!"
"His Majesty is mighty!"
For a time, Xu Que's prestige in the country reached its peak.
In contrast, the military camp seemed a little gloomy.
The reason was very simple, it was because of the four million troops outside the city.
Four million, what concept?
The total population of the Eastern Tang was less than ten million, and the people that the Qin State sent to fight were more than half of the population of the Eastern Tang.
Such a huge army hoarding outside the Heaven's Gate was a great pressure for the defenders of the Heaven's Gate.
In addition, Xu Que's words completely ignited the Qin Wang's anger.
The furious Qin Wang directly issued the coldest and cruelest military order: slaughter the city!
When the Heaven's Gate was breached, the city would not be spared!
For a time, everyone in the city was in danger.
"It's over, it's over, we really can't win."
"Bastard! How do you know we can't win before we even fight? "
"The Qin State has four million troops! Four million! You won't even have a corpse left! "
"I heard that the Qin Wang wants to slaughter the city … What should I do, I still have children waiting for me at home …"
"Why does the king want to provoke the Qin Wang? He just wants to live in the Qin State for a few years."
Walking on the street, such talk could be heard everywhere.
The Qin army swept across the land, triumphing in every battle. Just the pressure brought about by their reputation was enough to crush every Eastern Tang soldier.
There was even a small mutiny in the army that night, and Hu Zhengtang tried his best to suppress it.
… …
The next day, on the city wall.
Hu Zhengtang was wearing armor, his face as calm as water, and below him were the Qin soldiers waiting to go to war.
"Reporting to General, the soldiers who rebelled yesterday have all been locked up in prison. However, the morale of the army is unstable … I'm afraid the next battle will not be easy …" The Deputy General said worriedly.
Hu Zhengtang sighed and looked into the distance. At this moment, Xu Que was leading his 3,000 troops, ready to set out at any time.
At this point, they had no way to stop Xu Que.
"Pass down the order. We don't seek to win this battle, we only seek to not lose. The most important thing is that His Majesty must not be lost!" Hu Zhengtang said solemnly.
"Understood!"
The deputy general cupped his fists and hurried off to issue the order.
At this time, Xu Que was distributing the items he had exchanged from the system.
Although the price of firearms was too high and there was no way to exchange for them, this kind of cold weapon was extremely cheap. Xu Que used all his acting tough points to exchange for equipment.
"Brothers, I've already taught you how to use this weapon. Today is the day for you to make a name for yourselves!" Xu Que shouted.
Through yesterday's heroic performance, Xu Que had completely conquered the hearts of these 3,000 soldiers. Now, they all looked to Xu Que as their leader.
Even if Xu Que asked them to send themselves to their deaths, they wouldn't go against his orders.
Xu Que sighed with emotion, "Indeed, strength is needed …"
In the blink of an eye, it was noon.
After an entire morning, the two armies had finished preparing for war.
The Qin army of a million soldiers lined up in front, not hiding their strength at all. They wanted to take down this city in one fell swoop.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The war drums rang out as the Qin army of a million soldiers roared in unison, "Victory to the Qin Kingdom!"
Their voices were like thunder, their aura soaring to the heavens. Even the clouds in the sky seemed to have been dispersed.
As for the Eastern Tang side, their morale was low. Facing such a strong army, they couldn't help but feel a little fearful.
The drumming gradually slowed down, and the formation of Qin army dispersed. A middle-aged man with a mighty and handsome face slowly walked out from it.
He had a dragon crown on his head and a golden dragon robe on his body. His whole body gave off the aura of a monarch.
"Greetings, my king!"
The million soldiers greeted him in unison.
He was the King of the Qin Kingdom, Ying Fangwu!
Seeing this person, even Hu Zhengtang couldn't help but frown, "The Qin King has the Emperor's Qi and commands an army of four million soldiers. His morale is high. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long."
As he said this, he rejoiced, "Fortunately, the Emperor has already promised me that he won't lead the charge this time. He will only fight as an auxiliary army."
Xu Que curled his lips and said unhappily, "Damn it … he's not even as handsome as me. What's there to pretend for?!"
However, it must be said that this Ying Fangwu was indeed a character.
From Xu Que's point of view, the King of the Fire Empire in the past was like the difference between heaven and earth when compared to this person.
"It's a pity that you've met this Act-Tough Saint. I'm afraid your path to the throne will end here."
A cold smile appeared on Xu Que's face as he waved his long saber and roared, "Brothers, the Qin King has appeared. Let's kill him later!"
"Kill the Qin King!" The three thousand soldiers roared in unison.
Xu Que infused his inner force into the roar, causing it to reverberate around the walls.
Sometimes, the simplest form of encouragement could achieve the best results.
"Strange … I don't feel so afraid anymore."
"That's right, what are the Qin soldiers? We are the ones who want to kill the Qin King!"
"I'm burning up! Awooooo!"
Under the encouragement of Xu Que's roar, the soldiers of the Eastern Tang were once again filled with fighting spirit. Following the three thousand soldiers, they roared, "Kill the Qin King! Kill the Qin King! Kill the Qin King! "
Hearing this roar, even though the Qin King had long since calmed down, his expression couldn't help but change, "The might of my Great Qin is invincible! King of the Eastern Tang, if you are willing to surrender, We can promise … "
"Surrender your ass! Wash your fart … cough, neck, prepare to die! "Xu Que directly interrupted the Qin King's roar.
This bastard actually dared to interrupt me?
The Qin King had once thought that after sweeping through the world and becoming the emperor, he was already much more broad-minded.
But today, after having his defences broken repeatedly by Xu Que, his face was almost deformed from anger.
"Heed Our command! All troops, attack! Take down Heaven's Gate and slaughter the city! "
Following the Qin King's command, the Qin army's formation began to move.
A million soldiers moved in unison, creating a magnificent sight, their heavy footsteps seemingly trampling on the hearts of those who heard them.
Xu Que led the three thousand soldiers to stand at the very front. Turning his head to look behind him, he roared, "Brothers, follow me and charge!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and charged out.
The three thousand soldiers followed closely behind, the entire troop like a sharp arrow that had left the bow, shooting out in a straight line.
Holy shit!
Standing on the city walls, Hu Zhengtang was once again dumbfounded.
Why did the Emperor charge out again?
Didn't he say that he would be in charge of assisting in this battle?
