Chapter 55: The Remnants of the Six Kingdoms
"Ying Zheng will definitely come to Yinxian Peak again. With so many of us working together this time, we will definitely be able to ambush and kill him here."
At this time, Zhang Liang stood in front and introduced his plan to everyone, and everyone nodded repeatedly.
"Last time, there was only one warrior who almost killed Ying Zheng. This time, all of us have contributed, and we have gathered so many military supplies. We will definitely succeed in one strike."
Xiang Liang clapped his hands in admiration.
According to Zhang Liang's description, this was already a small ambush war. If it was operated properly, there was a good chance of success.
"We don't have many chances, this one is worth giving our all."
Tian Heng beside him also nodded in agreement.
There can be no room for luck in ambush and kill Ying Zheng. This time, several forces are working together, and the effect will definitely be more effective than before when Zhang Liang only sent one person.
"All the people I brought with me will be used by Zhang Xiaoyou, so that we can accomplish our mission in one go."
Zhang Er stroked his beard, his eyes flashing with coldness.
Ying Zheng has offered a bounty on his life for several years, and now it is finally his turn to fight back.
He would accept it no matter whether he succeeded or not, or even if he spent all his family fortune.
In the next few days, they prepared quietly.
Sure enough, on the fifth day, they detected some movement in the manor where Ying Zheng was.
In Peixian Manor, a large number of cavalry were being mobilized.
Sure enough, not long after, hundreds of cavalrymen came out guarding several carriages.
Because they had encountered assassinations before, more soldiers were deployed on both sides of the carriage to guard them this time, ensuring that even a strong man like the one from last time would not be able to get close to the team.
Soon, the team had left Pei County and was heading towards Yinxian Peak.
At this time, a large number of people had already ambushed on a dense forest slope leading to Yinxian Peak.
In order to avoid being discovered, the number of these people has been gradually increased to its current size over the past few days.
With the support of Zhang Liang, Tian Heng, Zhang Er and Xiang Liang, they were all equipped with armor and crossbows and other military supplies.
However, judging from the shape and style of their armor and bows and crossbows, they are obviously different from the current Qin army and should all be equipment left over from the six ancient countries.
“People are coming!”
Xiang Liang looked at the convoy approaching from a distance and said in a low voice.
At this time, Xiang Liang was already fully clothed in armor, with a long sword at his waist, and his aura was sharp and murderous.
Not only him, but everyone present, except the scholar Zhang Liang, including Xiang Yu, Tian Heng, Zhang Er and others, had already put on their armor and were ready for action.
At this time, at the bottom of the slope in the dense forest, the cavalry at the head of the convoy had appeared in their sight.
“Something seems wrong!”
As he gradually approached the slope, Meng Tian frowned slightly and sensed a strange atmosphere.
"Wait!"
Meng Tian raised his hand and shouted softly, signaling the convoy to stop.
At this time, Meng Tian had already figured out why he felt something was wrong. It was because the surrounding mountains and forests were too quiet, and there was not even the sound of birds singing.
Seeing the team stopped, Zhang Liang and others felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, as if they had been discovered.
"Do it!"
Xiang Liang shouted decisively.
"Kill!"
"Punish the tyrannical Qin, kill Ying Zheng, charge!"
Just as Meng Tian was about to give further orders and search the surroundings, suddenly, deafening shouts and screams rang out from one side of the slope in the dense forest.
“It tastes so good!”
Then a rain of arrows flew out from the void and landed directly on the team.
The crossbow's projectiles were extremely powerful, and the entire team became chaotic almost instantly. Many horses wailed and ran around, and many soldiers were shot off their horses.
After a round of crossbow volleys, a dense crowd of ambush soldiers wearing armors of the six nations began to rush out from the slope of the dense forest. At this time, the Qin army reacted and a sparse rain of arrows fell on the ambush soldiers, causing a small commotion.
At this time, Xiang Yu, who was leading the way, swung his halberd and began to frantically knock away the Qin soldiers, and rushed towards the carriages in the middle.
"Hahaha, that's refreshing, so refreshing!"
Xiang Yu was wearing armor and holding a long spear. After sweeping across and knocking away the Qin soldiers in front of him, he could not help but let out a long roar to the sky.
Over the years, he and his uncle have been wanted by the Qin Dynasty and have been hiding from place to place. They were always surrounded and attacked. Now he can finally show his skills.
"There's a chevaux de frise behind us!"
The Qin soldiers were planning to retreat and escape the ambush when they discovered that there were already layers of caltrops and spears behind them.
Immediately, many Qin soldiers protected the chariots and rushed forward, intending to rush out of the slope. In this terrain, it was difficult for the cavalry to exert their mobility.
But at this time, Xiang Yu, relying on his extraordinary bravery, had already killed his way to the front of several carriages.
"Stop him and kill him!"
Seeing that the enemy general was brave and holding a spear, Meng Tian immediately led the nearby soldiers to charge forward.
However, Xiang Yu's bravery is ranked among the top three in the history. With his terrifying strength, no Qin soldier could match him.
Even Meng Tian was shocked and retreated again and again.
"Account!"
He fought to the side and swung his spear, smashing the carriage of a carriage into pieces.
"Ying Zheng, die!"
When Xiang Yu saw that there was no one inside, he immediately looked at the other carriages and shouted excitedly.
"The remnants of the six kingdoms are really lingering around!"
At this time, Ying Zheng, who was in the last carriage, frowned.
Moreover, the scale of this assassination was much larger than any previous one.
It is obvious that they must have prepared for quite some time.
Although Ying Zheng was a little surprised by this, he was not shocked.
After all, the last assassination attempt meant that his whereabouts had been exposed to the eyes of these remnants.
In fact, Ying Zheng’s itinerary has always been top secret. Before he came, even local officials were unaware of it, let alone the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.
But after staying here for a long time, it is naturally impossible to maintain the same confidentiality as before.
Seeing Xiang Yu's invincible bravery in the distance, like a sharp blade stabbing straight at him, Ying Zheng did not stay in the carriage any longer and walked out immediately.
"Kill him, it's Ying Zheng!"
“Ying Zheng is there!”
At this moment, Xiang Liang, who was charging forward, saw Ying Zheng coming out of the carriage. His figure was the same as the one he had seen in Teng County before. His eyes suddenly widened and he shouted in ecstasy.
At this time, almost all the ambush troops from the six countries and the Qin soldiers present looked over.
"Kill Ying Zheng!"
At this time, several ambush troops from the six countries had already rushed here and were attacking Ying Zheng.
"Chong!"
Everyone only saw Ying Zheng gently jump off the carriage, and suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist, making a crisp sound of it being unsheathed.
"Chichichi..."
Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, Ying Zheng's figure suddenly became as elusive as a startled wild goose, and the long sword in his hand burst out with a cold light. As swift as the wind, he swept past the soldiers who were ambushing him in an instant.
Those soldiers covered their throats in horror, and suddenly large streams of blood spurted out. With clangs and clangs, several ambush soldiers from the Six Kingdoms fell to the ground, losing their lives.
"Ying Zheng, is he so skilled?"
