Chapter 269: Bait
Time has passed for nearly a month.
Ying Zheng's chariot is driving toward the State of Chu in a mighty manner. In addition to the chariot, there are also 30,000 escorting troops and horses. Ten thousand people are leading the way in front, 10,000 people are guarding the rear, and another 10,000 people are guarding the chariot.
peripherals, as well as things responsible for food and baggage.
Because it was Ying Zheng who was to be protected, all the soldiers were in full array.
Although 30,000 people is not a lot, the queue is very long, especially when passing through a relatively long and narrow road.
The road was long and narrow, stretching the queue of 30,000 people, and it stretched continuously near the mountains and forests. Next, the car had to pass through a place with high slopes on both sides.
The scouts who went to explore the road found nothing strange.
"Let's go!"
Among these 30,000 people, the one leading the troops was a school lieutenant, who ensured that there were no problems ahead and allowed people to pass as quickly as possible.
The 10,000 people who opened the way moved forward first. After making sure that there was no problem, they told the people behind to follow.
However, what none of them knew was that there were more than 500 people lurking on the top of the high slope, staring intently at the car below, their eyes filled with murderous intent and hatred.
"Brother Chen, it's okay."
Zhou Shi said first.
Chen Yu muttered: "No, wait a little longer. We must be careful about this matter. We only have one chance, so we can't act too hastily."
They looked towards the middle of the queue, their eyes fell on Ying Zheng's car, and they waited slowly.
After a while, the driver finally came to them.
"Do it!"
Chen Yu shouted.
The people around him immediately prepared the boulders, and together with three or four people, they used all their strength to push the boulders down the hillside.
Rumble...
The stones rolled and made an amazing sound.
The passing team below was alarmed. The soldiers raised their heads and looked up the hillside. Before they could see clearly, dozens of boulders came down hard, killing many people instantly.
This passage is relatively long and narrow, and stones fell down, blocking the passage.
The soldiers of the Qin army in front and behind the chariot were blocked outside.
The driver was trapped within the stone area, and there were more than a hundred Qin soldiers who were in a hurry.
"There's an ambush!"
"Hurry and protect the king!"
Those Qin soldiers shouted.
Chen Yu, Zhou Shi and others did not give them a chance to save Ying Zheng and continued to smash the boulders down.
Most of the Qin soldiers near the car were knocked over on the spot.
"Kill and take revenge!"
Zhou Shi shouted.
"kill!"
All those who wanted to assassinate King Qin appeared together and rushed down the high slope.
They also bought some crossbows. As they walked down, they fired all the crossbow arrows, killing the Qin soldiers near the carriage. The sharp arrows penetrated the carriage and seemed to kill everyone inside.
At the end of the battle, all the soldiers of the Qin army fell down near the chariot.
Zhou Shi was overjoyed. They had really killed King Qin. He asked people to open the car and take away Ying Zheng's body. However, the moment they opened the car, they were stunned.
Because not even a human figure can be seen inside the carriage.
It's empty!
Where is King Qin?
Where did it go?
"No, this is a trap!"
Li Shiqi was the first to react and finally understood why Zhang Liang said that they could not succeed.
The King of Qin was really prepared and used an empty chariot to lure them into being fooled. But now he thought about escaping and it was already too late. Just as he was about to climb up the high slope, a row of sharp arrows were shot from top to bottom.
More than 500 assassins suddenly fell, and more than 100 of them fell. When they looked up, they saw Qin soldiers already walking on the high slope and climbing on the rocks blocking the road.
"Kill out quickly!"
Zhou Shi was shocked, King Qin Yingzheng was too abominable.
Most of them were rangers with good skills. They blocked the sharp arrows fired by the Qin army, killed dozens of Qin army's crossbowmen, and continued to rush up the high slope to escape.
Since the King of Qin is going on a tour, he will not be unprepared.
The plan of Zhou Shi and others had already been clearly discovered by the people from Heibingtai, so they simply threw out a bait and waited for the fish to take the bait.
The Qin army's crossbows fired again, but before Zhou Shi and others could fire back, more than two hundred people fell down.
At the end of the fight, the only ones left alive were Chen Yu and Zhou Shi, and more than fifty people led by Chen Yu and Zhou Shi broke out of the siege and fled in the other direction of the hillside.
Li Shiqi and others had already died under the rain of arrows.
Ying Zheng and Bai Zhong happened to be watching the battle in this direction.
Knowing that the chariot was about to arrive in the Chu Kingdom, Bai Zhong brought someone to meet him in advance. After meeting with Ying Zheng, the two worked together to dig a trap, waiting for Zhou Shi's people to jump in.
Zhang Liang's idea is very stable and it really won't succeed, but Chen Yu and others are very confident.
"Your Majesty has destroyed the Three Jin and Chu Kingdoms. The nobles of these four countries hate our Great Qin to the core, so your Majesty deliberately goes on patrol and uses himself as bait to lure out these assassins?"
Bai Zhong understood Ying Zheng's thoughts.
Ying Zheng laughed and said, "The one who knows me is Bai Qing!"
Bai Zhong said worriedly: "It's too dangerous for your Majesty to do this."
Ying Zheng said indifferently: "With Bai Qing here, where is the danger? If not, I still don't know how many people want to kill me. First there are the nobles of Zhao State, and then there is Yan Dan. If you don't
They will kill them all, and they will not stop."
At the end of his speech, his voice was as cold as ice.
Baizhong said: "These people just want to benefit themselves, or they don't realize that there is only one Qin country in the world. It is better for the people to live and work in peace and contentment than the coexistence of seven countries, and the seas and rivers are clear."
"Bai Qing still understands me!"
Ying Zheng's mood gradually improved and he smiled again: "Bai Qing, look, those assassins dare to walk in the direction of me."
Bai Zhong immediately unsheathed his sword and stood in front of Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said: "Bai Qing, let me come. I haven't killed anyone for a while."
He also asked the other guards to step aside.
But Bai Zhong and the others were uneasy and kept their weapons unsheathed on guard. If there was any danger, they would immediately take action to save the king.
Zhou Shi, Chen Yu and others took a closer look and found that they had unexpectedly met Ying Zheng head-on despite their panic. They were immediately ecstatic.
"Brother Zhou, let's kill Ying Zheng with all our strength, and let the others cover us!"
Chen Yu opened his mouth and said.
Zhou Shi responded: "If you can kill Ying Zheng, it's worth dying. Kill him!"
The more than fifty people who followed them quickly separated to deal with other Qin soldiers.
Zhou Shi and Chen Yu raised their swords and went to kill Ying Zheng.
"Vulnerable!"
Ying Zheng didn't pay attention to them yet. When he saw the people approaching, he swung his sword and struck, causing sword energy to splash out.
The two people's eyes widened. Before they could realize what was happening, their bodies had been penetrated by the sword, and their bodies were sprayed with blood. They died on the spot, killed instantly by Ying Zheng's sword.
How could King Qin be so strong?
This was what they were thinking the moment they fell. It was not until the moment they died that they realized that even if Ying Zheng stood in front of him and asked him to kill him, he would not have the ability to kill him.
Bai Zhong was also stunned, and then he could feel the surge of immortality energy in Ying Zheng's body, and it became clear instantly.
The remaining assassins were quickly dispatched by other guards.
