Chapter 21 Don't support idlers, change the palace guards
The doctor ordered Meng Cheng to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a trembling voice: "Yan Shiping, King Qin personally surrounded Xianyang Palace with armor, what should we do?"
Lieutenant Yan Shiping no longer had the confidence he had in the past, and said angrily: "These two incompetent people, Dong Lege and Dong Jian, knew that Ying Ziying had some tricks and ambitions, yet they dared to let him take care of him.
..I think I was really mistaken for Yan Shiping when I was forced to work with Dong Lege..."
As time passed by, Meng Cheng turned pale and said, "What's the point of regretting it now, Lieutenant? The King of Qin has given an order. If we don't go out and accept surrender, I'm afraid that all the family members of the nine tribes will not be saved..."
Yan Shiping was startled, as if he had fallen into a pit of fire, and was irritated for a moment. With today's move of disobeying the king's order and sealing the palace gate, coupled with the intricate relationship with Dong Lege and Zhao Gao in the past,
Even if the two surrender, they are afraid that the King of Qin will not spare their lives...but there is some hope of saving their families of the Nine Clans.
In a certain death situation, the two of them looked at me and I looked at you. For a moment, no one was the first to speak and order the palace door to be opened.
The three thousand palace guards behind them saw that time had passed, and Meng Cheng and the two could not come to an outcome yet. Everyone was talking about it. No one wanted to fight to the death in front of Qin soldiers who were several times more powerful than the palace and were also good at fighting.
Besides, all the palace guards are descendants of the Qin State, and for a few rebellious ministers to shed blood and sacrifice for no reason... most people will not be willing to do so.
Outside the palace gate, Ying Jingyu, who was riding on a brown horse, slowly opened his black eyes, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his face showed strong murderous intent.
When the more than 18,000 Qin soldiers saw that Ying Jingyu was about to give an order, they all surrounded the palace wall, holding spears and shouting.
"Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink!..."
The powerful collective sound wave penetrated the palace wall like a hammer, making the palace guards and Yan Shiping feel terrified in their hearts.
Like reminders, Yan Shiping and Meng Cheng collapsed on the ground, just about to give the order to open the palace door...
But it was too late, Ying Jingyu outside the palace gate had given the order to attack Xianyang Palace!
Before the three thousand palace guards could take action, they saw Qin soldiers wearing black armor and holding spears on the top of the tall red palace wall. They used the power of a ladder to climb up the wall and jump into the palace.
As he breathed, there were more and more Qin soldiers on the wall, like black ants all over the ground, gathering more and more on the roads in Xianyang Palace like a tide.
After a while, thousands of soldiers came up, surrounding three thousand palace guards including Meng Cheng and Yan Shiping.
After the Qin soldiers climbed over the wall and jumped into the palace, they did not see any resistance from the thousands of palace guards. They still stood there and threw their weapons on the ground... so the Qin soldiers did not dare to blindly go forward and kill them.
, we can only surround them first
After a few breaths, Ying Jingyu rode a tall horse into the palace gate that was opened by Qin soldiers. Ying Ziying, the third emperor of Qin, also got off the carriage and followed him into Xianyang Palace under the protection of all the Qin soldiers.
When Ying Jingyu arrived on horseback in front of the two middle-aged men who were lying limply on the ground, he looked down at these two henchmen.
Meng and Cheng put their hands on their foreheads to avoid the sun. They saw clearly that the person on the horse was like a god descending from the earth. He was young, handsome and tall. For a moment, they couldn't remember who he was. He looked very strange...
But as Qin King Ying Ziying walked over, they were still familiar with each other. They quickly knelt down and said: "The guilty minister Yan Shiping (Meng Cheng) pays homage to the king!"
Ying Ziying had an expressionless face, with his hands behind his back, looking coldly at the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground. He had just returned to power in Xianyang Palace, but now he was like a bereaved dog...
Jing Yu also got off the horse, walked up to the two of them and sneered: "Hmph, why don't you obey the king's order and open the palace door! Are you really not afraid that the nine tribes will be executed?"
When Yan Shiping and Yan Shiping heard these murderous words, their minds were shaken and they almost fainted from fright.
Yan Shiping was better, suppressing the fear of death: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the guilty minister is aware of his guilt. Gang Ping has given an order to open the palace gate, but the time has passed..."
Yan Shiping calmed his tone and looked ashen as death: "Your Majesty, I know that the crimes I have committed are unforgivable, and I am willing to be punished. I know that I will not escape death today, but I beg your Majesty to forgive Ping's family. They have never participated in anything."
Political affairs. Please give me your permission, Your Majesty!"
Qin Sanshi sighed softly and said: "Your culpability is clear even without investigation. You must have done many things to harm the Qin Dynasty following Zhao Gaodong. You cannot escape the death penalty, but you are not the mastermind."
"Gu Nian is because your ancestors have made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty, and are exempted from the death penalty of the nine clans. However, Qin's laws are strict, and the crimes committed by you are outraged by both humans and gods! King Gu ordered the men of Meng Cheng and Yan Shiping to have their titles removed and demoted to the head of Guizhou. They will not be allowed to do so in the third generation.
Entering official service."
"Meng Cheng, Yan Shiping and the rest of the traitors will be beheaded on a certain day in public display. Take them away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Qin soldiers who were nearby made a "hey" sound, and the main general Yan Shiping, who was the leader, was carried down. Because the king's order had been issued, the other party was afraid of everything, and Yan Shiping and others were all paralyzed like noodles.
Stupid
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Meng Cheng cried loudly as he was dragged away, reluctantly imagining a miracle.
After a few people were escorted away, the remaining nearly 3,000 palace guards in the palace were also captured by the Qin soldiers. The total number was about 6,000.
It's just that he has been out of training for a long time, and has been led by these Qin thieves, traitors and other incompetent people for many years. He is used to enjoying it. However, he is not as murderous as the city defense soldiers of the Qin army. Most of the palace guards look like young master soldiers, so Ying Jingyu
I'm quite dissatisfied...
Ying Jingyu stood in front of the six thousand palace guards and said loudly: "I am Ying Jingyu, the eldest son of the King of Qin, and the new lieutenant commander. Looking at what you have just done, you still admit that you are the descendants of the old Qin people. You did not help the tyranny by laying down your weapons."
"It proves that you still have a glimmer of hope, but I still have to ask if you are still willing to be loyal to the Ying family again!"
"Yes! I am willing to swear allegiance to the royal family to the death! Until death!!" The Six Thousand Palace Guards seemed to have suddenly found a spiritual support, and changed from the depressed mood just now.
Ying Jingyu continued: "Okay! Following the orders of the traitor is not what you and others want. However, at this time, the six kingdoms of Guandong want to destroy our Qin Dynasty, and there will be a war in the near future."
"You have lived in the palace for a long time and lack experience in battle formations. I have ordered that everyone change the defense of the city to defend against the Qin soldiers. We need to practice daily in the camp in order to protect our great Qin in the future. Are you willing?"
The six thousand palace guards fell silent and leaned back. They all knelt on their knees and shouted at the same time: "I swear to the death to obey your Majesty, Young Master's order! I am willing to die on the battlefield to protect our Great Qin!!"
The shouts shook the sky. Qin Sanshi and Jing Yu nodded with satisfaction. Now Guanzhong is most lacking in troops. There are so many palace guards in this palace. It would have been fine in the prosperous times.
But now that there are internal and external troubles, it would be a waste to keep so many people in the palace... By then everyone will have to go to the battlefield.
Ying Jingyu arranged for the two newly promoted commanders to transfer 6,000 palace guards into the Qin Army's city defense formation.
Then according to the order, 2,000 city defense Qin soldiers were sent to protect the palace. It took nearly half an hour to change the defense properly...
Sudden!
A loud shout rang out from the palace gate. The person coming was wearing an official blue brocade robe. A middle-aged man nearly 50 years old followed by dozens of black-clad guards broke into the palace.
"Your Majesty, why are you doing this...Are you trying to destroy our country, Great Qin, and disrupt our country, Xianyang?"
