Chapter 323 Meng Tian's Support
Meng Tian and his army are still rushing to the scene.
At this moment, he was leading the entire elite cavalry force stationed along the northern Great Wall.
In normal combat, three thousand elite cavalry could sweep away 3 infantry.
Now, Meng Tian is leading an army of 100 million elite cavalrymen towards Handan.
Although such rapid running would unfortunately cause many warhorses to die.
But right now, Meng Tian can't care about all that.
Leaving aside Meng Tian himself, he held Mr. Tang in very high esteem and gratitude.
Regarding Ying Zheng alone, Tang Yu absolutely cannot die.
At that time, Ying Zheng gave Meng Tian a death sentence, ordering him to ensure Tang Yu's safety at all costs.
Looking at the sky, Meng Tian felt that by the time he arrived in Handan City...
The fastest it should take is about an hour. Hopefully, Mr. Tang can hold on for an hour.
Otherwise, even if Meng Tian's elite cavalry of 100 million men could reach the battlefield, it would still be of no use.
But when I thought of Tang Yu's bravery and terrifying strength...
Meng Tian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that with Mr. Tang's strength...
In such a critical situation, preserving one's own life shouldn't be a problem, right?
Meng Tian, his heart trembling, dared not hesitate and could only crack his whip once more.
The horses' speed increased once again.
……
On the city wall of Handan, Tang Yu, clad in heavy armor, stood before the crowd.
He exudes a strong sense of security that makes people feel incredibly at ease just by looking at him.
Shen Lang stood behind him, his flying fish robe also covered by armor.
After all, the flying fish suit is cool, but unfortunately, it's not very durable.
It can also be used to catch petty thieves in the city on ordinary days.
But if you really get to the battlefield, you still have to wear armor.
At this moment, he looked at Tang Yu and bowed his head to ask for instructions.
"Grand Preceptor, since they are preparing to attack the city, please retreat first."
"The archers' first volley is about to begin."
"As a veteran, Shen Lang is very familiar with these things."
Tang Yu shook his head.
"No need, I'll just stand here."
"When it comes time to actually attack the city, I will offer one last piece of advice to dissuade them."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for going on a killing spree."
Tang Yu said this with a blank expression.
He never imagined that he would actually be unable to prevent this from happening.
It wasn't Tang Yu's saintly heart, or something else entirely.
But what he was facing was not some other situation, but 100,000 living people.
One hundred thousand lives, let alone in a previous life.
Even now, Tang Yu has never seen these 100,000 people standing together.
If all 100,000 people were to die now because of Tang Yu...
Then Tang Yu would feel extremely guilty.
Because among the 100,000 people, many are from respectable families, while many others are from impoverished backgrounds.
They were tricked or robbed by the Yin-Yang School people and lured into this army in various ways.
If he were to die as a result, Tang Yu could hardly imagine what the consequences would be.
Tang Yu sighed inwardly at his performance with only 100,000 people.
"Alas, I really don't know what kind of person Qin Wu'an Jun Bai Qi is."
"Yes, Tang Yu was faced with only 100,000 people, and he couldn't make a decision or bring himself to kill them."
But since joining the army, Lord Wu'an, Bai Qi, had been involved in countless battles, both large and small.
When he truly became the ruler, his first battle was the flooding of Yancheng, which directly drowned 20 soldiers and civilians of the Chu state.
Thus, the greatest killer of the Warring States period was born. In every battle, more than 100,000 people died at his hands.
Until the last battle of his life, the Battle of Changping.
After 43 days of fierce fighting, they surrounded and killed 40 elite troops of the Zhao state with an equal number of men, burying them all alive.
What kind of magnanimity and courage does it take to withstand this?
Tap tap, tap tap. Ancient warfare was actually somewhat like a cruel and bloody game of chess.
The soldiers' actual attack method was not like what Tang Yu had seen in TV dramas.
Instead of individual bravery and taking the lead, they formed battle formations and acted according to orders.
If someone in the first row dies, someone in the second row automatically takes their place.
It's as if they're just using human lives to pay the price, but that's how war is; it's always been about using human lives as a bargaining chip.
At this moment, Ye Tian had already led his soldiers to the city of Handan.
These 100,000 men were about to split into three groups to attack Handan City, and Ye Tian arrived at the city gate.
They shouted into the city of Handan from a distance beyond the reach of arrows.
“I believe you are a talented person. If you repent and want to join us in overthrowing the tyrant.”
"Then surrender, and we can still accept you and even appoint you as a Grand General."
"If you insist on refusing, then I'm afraid the city of Handan will have to go down with you."
Hearing Ye Tian's words, Tang Yu looked at him as if he were a clown.
Then, he glanced at many of the 100,000 soldiers.
They received the documents one by one from Shen Lang and the other Imperial Guards standing to the side.
What's written here must be the data on missing persons from various counties and prefectures surrounding Handan City over the years, he began to shout loudly.
“Li Tieniu, three years ago, you were forcibly recruited into the army by the Yin Yang School.”
"Your 70-year-old mother broke her leg because she couldn't find you."
"No one discovered them, and they eventually starved to death."
Before Ye Tian could react, Tang Yu picked up the next document.
“Sun Chuanshan, after you disappeared, your father tried all sorts of ways to report it to the authorities.”
"However, he couldn't find you when you disappeared. He felt it was his responsibility and eventually chose to hang himself."
"And Li Chuang, your youngest daughter, she died because of your disappearance..."
When Tang Yu read this information aloud, Ye Tian's expression changed drastically.
"Shut up, you sorcerer! You dare to bewitch the followers of my Yin-Yang School now!"
“We represent the mandate of heaven, and you dare to defy it.”
Tang Yu ignored the man's desperate cries.
Because he knew that the more impatient the other party was, the more likely he was right.
He simply raised his head and looked at the large army behind him, and said earnestly.
"Everyone, we are the victims of the Yin-Yang School's actions."
"It was because of them that you suffered some tragedies."
"That's why they got separated from their parents and relatives, and that's why those tragedies happened later."
“You are also subjects of my Qin state, and now you have been coerced into rebellion by the Yin-Yang School.”
"As the Imperial Advisor, I can overlook any of your crimes."
"Just lay down your weapons and surrender immediately. Please do not aid and abet the evildoers."
