Chapter 275 The Rebellious Scale Reappears, Wang Yi Loses His Composure
Chapter 275 The Reverse Scale Reappears, Wang Yi Loses His Composure
At Wang Yi's command, a resounding clang immediately rang out.
In an instant, all the Qin warriors present changed their demeanor, brandishing their weapons and pointing them directly at Bai Yifei and the numerous carriages protected by the three thousand white-armored soldiers behind him.
Wang Yi was a veteran general who had been guarding Wusui for many years and held considerable prestige among his soldiers.
Although the Qin elite soldiers guarding this place were not Wang Yi's private troops, he only needed to make up a reason, and no one would suspect that he was forging an imperial edict.
After all, the three thousand White Armor Army soldiers led by Bai Yifei were also elites. If they were really malicious but were let go, it would be a great dereliction of duty.
Bai Yifei remained completely calm in the face of this sudden turn of events.
He simply drew the two swords from his waist and raised them slightly. Immediately, the white-armored soldiers behind him raised their weapons in unison, confronting the Wusui garrison.
Sometimes, reasoning doesn't work. Only force can solve the problem, and Bai Yifei happens to be very good at that.
"Let King Han... withdraw first."
Bai Yifei coldly addressed Zhang Liang, who was still trying to communicate with Wang Yi.
At the same time, he raised his two swords high, and the white-armored soldiers immediately scattered.
"How could it have come to this, with so many lives lost..."
Zhang Liang let out a helpless sigh.
Now that things have come to this point, Zhang Liang has naturally realized that Wang Yi must have a serious problem. Even if he manages to escape today, the matter of surrendering the country may change, and a war may be inevitable.
"Array up!"
Wang Yi didn't give them any more time to talk, and just said coldly.
The number of soldiers guarding this pass already far exceeds three thousand, not to mention that there are many more people being rotated in the main camp.
In a battle between two armies, his side is destined to win.
"White-armored soldiers, prepare to engage the enemy!"
Bai Yifei's side was small in number, but they were not willing to give an inch, and simply spoke coldly.
Immediately, the three thousand white-armored soldiers who had been scattered across the battlefield began to move, changing positions one after another.
It appears chaotic and disorderly, but if a military expert observes it carefully, he will discover that it conforms to a strange pattern and is a variation of a battle formation.
Bai Yifei also made great contributions in the Baiyue region to get to where he is today, and his expertise in military strategy and tactics is also quite high.
Both sides are elite forces, and apart from being slightly smaller in number, it is almost a true confrontation between two armies.
The fierce aura generated by the battle between the two sides surged into the sky, and the clear blue sky seemed to darken at this moment.
On the formidable city wall, many of the defending soldiers had already drawn their bows and nocked their arrows, waiting only for a command to unleash a rain of arrows upon the ground.
The atmosphere was incredibly oppressive; war was imminent.
At this critical moment, from the carriage protected by the white-armored soldiers behind them, two young yet dignified whispers suddenly came from inside.
The sound was not loud, yet strangely, everyone present could hear it clearly.
"Lord Changxin, what punishment should be imposed according to the laws of Qin for falsely conveying the king's edict?"
“Those who forge imperial edicts or decrees shall be executed by death, beheading, public execution, and their property confiscated. Their titles shall be stripped, their ancestral halls destroyed, and their entire clan exterminated.”
The sudden sound immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The curtain covering the carriage was lifted, and Ying Jing and Han Fei stepped down one after the other.
Wei Zhuang was a little further back, gripping the Shark Tooth weapon tightly in his hand, perfectly acting as the best guard.
The moment Wang Yi caught a glimpse of Ying Jing from afar, his expression immediately turned rather unpleasant.
Although they had never met, he had some understanding of Lord Changxin, who held such a special position in the Qin state.
"Don't listen to the traitors' nonsense and their attempts to demoralize the army!"
"Fire arrows!"
With Lord Changxin arriving in person, there was no longer any time to delay.
Fortunately, these soldiers did not recognize Lord Changxin, and they were too far away to see him clearly.
He only needs to give the order immediately, and once war breaks out, no matter who comes, it will be useless.
But then another unexpected event occurred.
"Wait a minute!"
On the city wall of Wusui Pass, a young man with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and thick sideburns, dressed in armor, was shouting loudly.
Behind him followed a team of elite troops transferred from the main camp.
When Zhen Gang found Meng Tian with the token of Lord Changxin, Meng Tian, who came from a military family, immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and the merit behind it!
Without hesitation, he immediately led the elite troops under his control from the Wusui camp toward the strategic pass.
Thankfully, we finally made it!
"I am Meng Tian, my father is Meng Wu, and my grandfather is Meng Ao!"
To prevent Wang Yi from continuing to issue orders forcefully, Meng Tian, who had always disliked relying on his father's influence, directly revealed his identity for the first time.
Meng Wu was one thing, but Meng Ao had only recently passed away. However, as the Supreme General of the Empire, his prestige within the military was considerable.
"I guarantee with the reputation of the Meng family for generations that these Koreans were invited by His Majesty to present the seal and offer it as tribute. You must not listen to Wang Yi's one-sided words and disrupt the king's important affairs!"
Originally, considering the loss of face for South Korea and not wanting to make a big fuss, the matter had been kept secret, and only the border guards had been notified. However, Wang Yi took advantage of this.
"Wang Yi, you are a veteran general who has served three dynasties and has made great military achievements. Why did you betray your country?"
Meng Tian was very strong-willed. He stood on the city wall and shouted a question.
Wang Yi's soldiers were momentarily confused, unsure of who was right and who was wrong.
"Treason... Heh heh, has Lord Wu'an ever betrayed his country?"
Wang Yi didn't answer, but just sneered and made a waving gesture: "How could a descendant of General Meng Ao possibly serve as a lowly soldier in my camp?"
"Traitorous foes have infiltrated our camp. Attack!"
This time, arrows actually flew out from behind Wang Yi.
Meng Tian was immediately terrified.
Wang Yi was a veteran general for many years, so how could he not have loyal personal guards under his command?
However, in the current situation, even the slightest spark could ignite a fire.
"kill!"
Bai Yifei no longer hesitated, coldly deflecting an arrow in front of him and directly issuing the order.
"Is it still unavoidable?"
Ying Jing frowned.
He specifically ordered Zhengang to find Meng Tian because Wang Yi had been guarding this place for many years and had too deep a foothold there, so even if he directly revealed his identity, it would be useless.
After all, which of these soldiers knew what Lord Changxin looked like?
A token representing identity?
How many of those soldiers did he recognize?
The tiger tally is useful, but Ying Jing doesn't have one.
"Hmm, I have an old friend...maybe he can help?"
Han Fei stroked his chin, then blinked and spoke softly.
Just as he finished speaking, a strange rustling sound suddenly rang out from nowhere.
A dark aura permeated the surroundings.
An invisible force seemed to have enveloped this area, transforming it into a "domain," and the arrows aimed at Han Fei were instantly deflected.
Disheveled white hair, a gloomy face, a shattered sword, and metal scale armor symbolizing his status.
The spirit of the Sword of Reverse Scale has made its appearance once again.
"This...this is...how is this possible!"
Wang Yi spoke somewhat inappropriately, taking several steps back, his expression deeply moved.
