Chapter 1284 Trump Card 2 - A Survival
Under the cover of night, as nine signal arrows cut through the night sky, a low roar suddenly came from the north of Julu City, as if the earth was shaking.
The Qin soldiers who stayed on the city wall couldn't help but turn their heads to look when they heard the strange sound.
Under the pitch-black night, in the distance there was a large black cloud-like shadow rapidly approaching Julu City.
A Qin soldier rubbed his eyes, thinking he was dazzled. He looked again and suddenly turned pale with fright.
That was not a black cloud at all, but a large group of black cavalry, rushing towards Julu City with the force of thunder!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The Qin soldier shouted in horror, his voice filled with fear and panic.
His shout immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding soldiers. Everyone turned their heads to look and saw cavalry in the distance rushing in like a tide. The sound of horse hooves shook the earth, as if they were going to swallow up the entire Julu City.
Ying Zheng was also alarmed by this sudden change. He quickly walked to the city wall and looked into the distance with a cold gaze.
The surrounding soldiers gathered their torches together, and under the light of the fire, the cavalry in the distance appeared clearer.
It was a huge cavalry, their flags fluttering in the night wind and the sound of horse hooves as thunderous as thunder.
The Qin soldiers were immediately panicked and began to discuss: "Where did these soldiers come from? Why did they suddenly appear here?"
"Could it be our reinforcements? Why didn't they notify us in advance?"
"No, look at the flag, it looks like the troops of the Chu State!"
Ying Zheng heard the soldiers' discussion, his face darkened, and he shouted angrily: "Why are you panicking? It's just Chu Ning's trick! Those soldiers must be a fake, a trick to disrupt our army's morale!"
Although his voice was authoritative, there was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.
The Qin soldiers who were scolded lowered their heads and dared not speak again, but the fear in their hearts did not dissipate.
At this moment, Xian Zhen, who was chained nearby, suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter full of mockery and pride.
Ying Zheng frowned, looked at Xian Zhen coldly, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Xian Zhen stopped laughing, stared at Ying Zheng with a gaze as sharp as a knife, and said slowly: "I laugh at you for being smart all your life and foolish for a moment.
Have you forgotten that Chu Ning has an army of 100,000 soldiers? Among that army, 70,000 are from Youzhou!"
Ying Zheng's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he sneered, "Ridiculous! Those 100,000 people have already been blocked in Maple Leaf City by my troops and the troops of Jin State. There is no way they will appear here!
Moreover, if there really were troops coming here from Maple Leaf City, how could I not notice it?"
Xian Zhen sneered, his tone full of sarcasm: "Ying Zheng, you overestimate yourself. Perhaps this is Chu Ning's trump card. He has already transferred his troops here silently.
You thought you were in control of everything, but you didn't know you had already fallen into Chu Ning's trap!"
Ying Zheng's face turned pale, and he felt slightly uneasy, but he still tried to remain calm and said coldly:
"Even so, what can a few tens of thousands of cavalrymen do to me? Julu City is impregnable, they can never break through!"
After saying that, he immediately gave the order: "Close the city gates tightly! Send a message to Zhang Han to call back 10,000 soldiers to defend the city!
As long as we hold on to Julu City, Zhang Han will be able to seize the opportunity to capture the Chu-Zhou coalition camp! We just need to delay time, and victory will still belong to us!"
The order was quickly passed down. Although the Qin soldiers were terrified, they did not dare to disobey Ying Zheng's orders and took action.
However, the cavalry outside the city was approaching, and a general in the lead rode his horse to the foot of the city. He was wearing black armor, had a resolute face, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.
The flag behind him was clearly visible in the firelight, and it was a big "Han" character.
Ying Zheng was standing on the city wall, looking at the general with a stern gaze, and asked loudly, "Who is coming?"
The general raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng, his voice loud and steady: "General of Chu, Han Xing!"
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's face suddenly changed and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
He stared at Han Xing and asked sternly, "Han Xing? Aren't you dead? Why are you here?"
Han Xing sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Ying Zheng, do you think that threatening me with the descendants of the previous dynasty will make me betray His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Humph, although I did leak the information of our army, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not take my life because of my loyalty and loyalty. Instead, he found a death row prisoner who looked similar to me to die in my place.
As for you, you just fell into the trap set by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Ying Zheng was shocked when he heard this, but he was still unwilling to give up and continued to ask:
"Even if you are not dead, where did these troops come from? Why hasn't any news come from the Qin army outside Maple Leaf City?"
Han Xing's eyes were cold, and he said slowly: "It's very simple, because I have already persuaded Sima Yi of Wei to cooperate with us.
The Qin army outside Maple Leaf City has already been wiped out by us. And you, of course, cannot get any information. "
After hearing this, Ying Zheng finally understood everything.
His face turned pale instantly, his eyes filled with anger and regret. He gritted his teeth and said:
"Sima Yi! This treacherous villain! How dare you betray me!"
Xian Zhen, who was standing by, couldn't help but burst into laughter again when he heard this, his laughter full of mockery:
"Ying Zheng, how does it feel to backstab an ally? You backstabbed the State of Jin, and now you are backstabbed by the State of Wei. This is really the cycle of justice, retribution!"
At this moment, Xianzhen felt extremely happy.
Especially when he saw Ying Zheng’s angry look, he became even more excited and even forgot the pain in his body.
Ying Zheng was stabbing the State of Jin in the back, wanting to use Jin's troops as cannon fodder to attract the troops of the Chu-Zhou coalition. Little did he know that Sima Yi, who was behind him, had already contacted the State of Chu!
In this battle, Ying Zheng was tricked by Chu Ning.
Ying was extremely furious at the moment. Seeing Xianzhen laughing, he could not help but roar and pulled the chain violently. Xianzhen immediately let out a painful groan.
Ying Zheng said coldly: "Xian Zhen, don't be complacent! Even if Sima Yi betrays me, Julu City is still in my hands! As long as Zhang Han captures the Chu-Zhou coalition camp, victory will still belong to me!"
However, before he finished speaking, Han Xing outside the city had already raised his sword and shouted: "All troops, listen up! Attack the city!"
Following Han Xing's order, the Chu cavalry rushed towards Julu City like a tide, and the sound of war drums and shouts of killing shook the earth.
Ying was standing on the city wall with a gloomy look. He knew that the outcome of this war was no longer in his control.
And Chu Ning's trump card was finally revealed.
Although he knew that Chu Ning had a trump card, he never dreamed that Chu Ning had so many trump cards.
Now that Han Xing has brought the Liangzhou cavalry to support, can he really defend Julu City and buy time for Zhang Han?
Ying Zheng's face was gloomy and he felt unsure.
