Jing Ke held Che Shi's hand, feeling the stability of the carriage, and couldn't help but nodded slightly.
He looked at the young man in front of him who was concentrating on driving the car, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
This is a good choice. Maybe you should consider it again?
But we have to change the time, because at this time, a ranger wearing black armor has appeared on the road ahead.
In the distance behind the rider, one could faintly see a series of camps connected together.
Over the endless camps, black flags fluttered in the wind. From a distance, they looked like a long black dragon hovering over the land of Yanzhao.
The black dragon is still hiding in the abyss, grinding its teeth and waiting for help.
As soon as the king in Xianyang City issued an edict, the black dragon would rise into the sky, open its bloody mouth, devour the world, and tear into pieces the eight-hundred-year-old Yan Kingdom on the other side of the Yi River.
Thinking of this, Zhao Tuo couldn't help but swallowed. As the appearance of the black-armored knight enlarged in his eyes, his heart also jumped.
Qin army!
Different from the terracotta warriors and horses dug out of the ground in his previous life, what appeared in front of Zhao Tuo was the real Qin army, the terrifying army known as the Tiger and Wolf Army.
When the Xiongnu were driven north, the Hu people did not dare to go south to herd horses, and the soldiers did not dare to bend their bows and complain.
In the southern expedition to Baiyue, the king of Baiyue bowed his head and tied his neck, and ordered his subordinates.
This is a bloodthirsty legion, an army that is invincible in this era!
Zhao Tuo took a deep breath and saw that the other party had already driven his horse towards him. He quickly controlled the bridle rope, slowed down the vehicle, and observed carefully at the same time.
There are four people in this group of Qin Army Rangers. They all hold their chests and heads high, and they are very impressive.
They wore leather crowns, short armor, and short swords, and bows and arrows were hung on their horses.
"It seems that the cavalry of this era mainly relied on mobility to fight. They attacked when they were close and shot when they were far away."
Zhao Tuo was thinking to himself, and he noticed that the Qin army's horses were fully equipped with saddles, but no stirrups.
This is a very important point, because without stirrups, the cavalry's feet will be hanging in the air, and there will be no point of focus on the horse. It is not suitable for real horseback fighting, nor is it suitable for large-scale charges.
And according to his previous observations, horseshoes did not appear in this era.
"When Mr. Nai becomes more developed in the future, I will let you see the power of technology."
Just when Zhao Tuo was thinking about it, the Qin army's cavalry had arrived at the front.
"Stop!"
The convoy came to a slow stop, Zhao Tuo controlled the horses and looked at the opponent at close range.
There are four riders, three of them are around twenty years old. The leading officer is a little older, probably in his thirties. He has scars on his face and a short beard under his lip. Just one look at his aura.
You know he is a veteran in fighting on the battlefield.
"Who is coming?"
he asked in a deep voice.
Zhao Tuo couldn't help complaining in his heart. The two countries had diplomatic relations and had already sent messages.
Before the arrival of Jingke's motorcade, someone had already informed the Qin army's camp, and even Xianyang was aware of it.
These riders knew it very well. Looking at the flags flying in the convoy and the jijie in the hands of the riders on the carriage, the identity of the convoy was self-evident.
But the truth is this, diplomatic procedures still have to be followed.
There was a slight knocking sound from Che Shi behind him, and Zhao Tuo knew that this was Jing Ke reminding him.
The driver of the chariot is not only responsible for driving, but also responsible for answering questions.
"The envoy of the State of Yan, Shangqing Jing Ke, is sent to the State of Qin on the order of the King of Yan. I have previously informed you that I will meet with the general."
The knight replied: "The general has issued an order, asking the envoy to go to the camp."
Zhao Tuo looked back and saw Jing Ke nodding to him, so he responded: "No."
The riders cleared the way, and the convoy moved forward slowly, following the main road and entering the Qin Army's camp.
Zhao Tuo did not dare to speak along the way because the atmosphere was too depressing.
The Qin army's barracks are continuous, like a series of connected fortresses, and the shouts of killing can be heard from far away.
The Qin army is practicing.
The swords and halberds are like a forest, and the flags are hunting!
Murderous intent fills the night, and the sound of drums shakes the sky!
Every sound of war drums made the earth tremble, and the bursts of shouts of killing were like a heavy hammer hitting Zhao Tuo's heart.
The hand holding the bridle trembled slightly.
"Afraid of a bird!"
"I haven't seen anything in my previous life. No matter how powerful they are, they are still holding cold weapons. Swords, bows and crossbows, no matter how powerful they are, can they be compared with muskets, cannons, missiles and aircraft? Think about what it would be like to drop an atomic bomb."
"Think about spaceships, Star Destroyers, two-way foils..."
Various grand scenes flashed through Zhao Tuo's mind, such as the bombardment of artillery fire, the tall mecha warriors, the boundless sea of stars, and the magnificent starry sky.
The original discomfort was driven away from his body, and a confident smile appeared on Zhao Tuo's face again.
Compared with the various weapons that will destroy heaven and earth in the future era, as well as the vast picture of the universe.
What does the ancient army in front of me mean?
Zhao Tuo's hands stopped shaking, his waist straightened, and his expression was calm and steady.
He has such an aura that even if a sword is thrown at him, I will not be afraid at all.
This is the confidence a time traveler should have.
"This guy is quite courageous."
Jing Ke looked at this scene and couldn't help but nodded slightly.
At this time, he turned around and saw Qin Wuyang's pale face on the passenger car behind him, and his brows furrowed again.
"The young man was just relying on the power of his father and ancestors to kill people. After all, he is nothing more than a madman. This plan to assassinate Qin does not require him to have strong force. As long as he is calm and does not make the King of Qin suspicious, it is enough."
"This man is fierce on the outside and arrogant on the inside, so he may ruin things. It's a pity that Prince Dan is so impatient that he doesn't wait for the people I'm waiting for to arrive. Alas..."
While thinking about it, he arrived outside the Qin army's camp.
Jing Ke got out of the car and went into the tent alone to pay a visit to the general of Qin.
"The general... must be Wang Jian."
Zhao Tuo raised his head and looked at the big flag with the word "王" flying not far away, feeling excited.
Qi Jian is very pastoral, and the military is the best.
Xuanwei Desert is famous for its paintings.
Since Li Mu was killed by the God of War Guo Kai.
Wang Jian was the pinnacle among the military generals in the world. This Qin general was like a huge stone weighing heavily on the hearts of the six Shandong countries.
invincible!
Zhao Tuo knew very well that after Jing Ke failed to assassinate Qin this time, the King of Qin would order Wang Jian to attack Yan.
In this battle, the Qin army was as strong as a broken bamboo. In one battle, the Yan army was defeated by the Yishui River, and in another battle, it defeated the century-old Jidu.
King Yan and Prince Dan fled in embarrassment and hid in Liaodong to survive.
The unification of Qin is a general trend that no one can stop.
The wheel of history rolls forward. Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.
Zhao Tuo panicked when he thought of this.
"No, if you follow Jing Ke, you will definitely die. You must find a chance to escape. How can a good head be chopped off?"
Zhao Tuo made up his mind to escape, but the plan was full and the reality was skinny.
Because of Han Nan's betrayal before, the convoy was very tightly protected.
When marching, there were rangers accompanying them on horseback, and they monitored the movements of each carriage. When stationed for rest, there were even more patrols. Even when Zhao Tuo went to the grass for a walk, he could feel the gaze of the monitors.
In this case, if someone finds you escaping, you can easily be shot and beheaded on the spot.
Especially after Han Nan's frame-up last night, Zhao Tuo found that he was noticed and hated by Qin Wuyang.
A chariot driver dared to steal the limelight from a nobleman. If Jing Ke had not been there to protect him, Zhao Tuo would have been killed last night.
Even so, Zhao Tuo could still feel those sinister eyes monitoring his every move. Once caught, Qin Wuyang would definitely be happy to behead him.
"We have to think about it in the long term. And Heng, if he follows us to Xianyang, he will definitely die there."
Just when Zhao Tuo was thinking about his plan, he suddenly heard a series of rapid footsteps approaching.
He looked up and saw a Qin army general wearing a heguan and armor striding towards him, followed by several soldiers and attendants behind him.
