A few days later, a combined army of 600,000 soldiers gathered together and attacked Qin. The Qin army's chief general, Wang Jian, led more than 500,000 soldiers to face the attack and started a fierce battle with it.

Millions of troops from both sides fought in Xunyang, Shuoyang and other places. The fighting was extremely brutal. Both sides suffered a large number of casualties.

Although Qin occupies a certain geographical advantage and its military morale is high, the Allied Forces of the Four Nations have more troops. It is difficult to determine the winner for a while, and the battle situation seems to be at a stalemate.

But at this critical moment, Wang Jian took the initiative and led hundreds of thousands of troops to retreat in a hurry, abandoning the plains they originally occupied and even leaving behind some unimportant baggage.

Regarding such an operation, the other countries couldn't help but be confused. How could they suddenly run away while they were fighting well?

Immediately afterwards, a shocking news came. King Qin Yingzheng was assassinated and his life was in danger!

After learning about the incident, all the princes from all over the world celebrated with joy. They were still thinking hard about how to defeat the opponent, but then such a huge surprise fell from the sky.

After a series of previous turmoils, the Qin Dynasty was already in turmoil. If something really happened to King Qin now, it would definitely be an extraordinary blow.

The most important thing is that Ying Zheng is now only in his twenties, and there are few heirs left, and even the crown prince has not yet been established. Once he suddenly dies, the entire Qin Dynasty may directly fall into chaos.

This is undoubtedly great news for them.

Of course, many people had doubts about the accuracy of this matter, so they sent many agents to Xianyang City to investigate.

A few days later, spies from various countries came one after another with news - Ying Zheng was seriously injured and was in danger!

After getting the exact situation, everyone put away their worries, laughed heartily, and held a banquet to celebrate.

As for the coalition coach Xiang Yan, he noticed something was wrong and wanted to wait and see for a while.

However, no one was willing to let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The kings of several countries urged their troops to advance. In desperation, they had no choice but to issue orders to pursue them with all their strength!

In this way, the two sides chased each other and soon arrived outside Hangu Pass.

Hangu is surrounded by the plateau to the west, Juejian to the east, Qinling Mountains to the south, and the Yellow River to the north. It is the Xiongguan fortress of the Qin State. When the Qin State was still weak, it blocked many invading enemies.

Now that I have returned here again, I obviously want to use the pass to block the armies of the five countries.

Looking at the towering pass in front of him, Xiang Yan couldn't help but frowned. The Qin army's combat effectiveness was extremely strong. If they defended this place, it would be difficult to win even with several times the force.

Immediately, he had to camp outside the pass, observing the movements and thinking about strategies to defeat Qin.

Just as the two armies were confronting each other, on a mountain wall a thousand meters away, a handsome young figure stood upright, it was Ye Zhang.

After the crowning ceremony, he was planning to go to the Taoist house to join in the fun, but he didn't expect to catch up with another big battle, so he simply stayed to continue watching.

After taking a look at the terrain here and the hundreds of thousands of coalition troops stationed here, I couldn't help but smack my lips.

When the news came that Ying Zheng was seriously injured, he was a little surprised, but then he used astrology to predict the fortune, and saw that the other party's fortune was at its peak, with no signs of decline, let alone that his life was in danger.

If it wasn't that there was something wrong with his divination, then it was a trap set by the Qin State, which took the initiative to withdraw its troops and give up some of its benefits, in order to lure the other party to take the bait.

As the saying goes, "If you want to save something, you must strengthen it; if you want to weaken it, you must strengthen it; if you want to capture it, you must hold it firmly."

This method is not very clever, but human nature is always greedy, and it is difficult to let go once you taste the sweetness. What's more, after finally seeing the hope of defeating Qin, you have to try it even if you take the risk...

In the Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng was seen sitting on the throne with a majestic look, looking very energetic, and not at all like he was in danger of death as rumored by the outside world.

He looked at Dongjun sitting below and said, "Excuse me, Your Excellency."

Dong Jun nodded, then lowered his eyes slightly and used astrology again. Half a moment later, he said: "In a few days, there will be heavy rain."

"Where did it fall?"

Ying Zheng asked next.

Dongjun replied: "The area from Xiaoshan to Mangshan."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes flashed and he nodded: "That's very good. Dongjun took the trouble, please go down and rest."

The former nodded after hearing this and did not stay any longer. After standing up and giving a salute, he left the hall in a flash.

After he left, Ying Zheng immediately ordered someone to get a map, and looked carefully at Gushui not far from Hangu Pass. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes were filled with chills...

Ten days flew by.

On this day, on the plain outside Hangu Pass, hundreds of thousands of allied troops gathered here. After nearly half a month of confrontation, they were unwilling to continue the stalemate.

After all, this is the hinterland of the Qin State. It is difficult to transport food and grass. If something unexpected happens, you may be trapped and die here. So now there are only two ways to go, either attack or retreat.

After some discussion, the coalition generals decided to give it a try. If the attack failed, they could only withdraw temporarily.

Hundreds of thousands of troops came out in full force, their shining armor and sharp weapons glistening with a chill in the sunlight.

Dozens of thousands of people formed a neat formation, with rows of chariots in front. The scene was truly spectacular.

As Xiang Yan issued the order to attack, bursts of arrows that were dense enough to make one's scalp numb flew out, taking the initiative to launch an attack.

Countless soldiers swarmed forward, relying on various siege equipment to keep approaching, but the Qin army still relied on natural barriers to resist. Under such circumstances, it was difficult to shake Hangu's natural barriers.

After an hour of fierce attack, not only failed to achieve any results, but also lost troops and generals.

Seeing this situation, Xiang Yan just frowned, and immediately ordered the withdrawal without further delay.

But at this moment, the sound of a roaring mountain and tsunami was getting closer and closer, like a huge wave crashing, and the waves were turbulent. It was as frightening as facing the vast ocean.

Everyone turned around and saw that the water was roaring from the sky. Waves several meters high washed over the narrow mountain road and enveloped them head-on.

"Water, water!"

Following the screams of panic, hundreds of thousands of coalition troops did not care about attacking the city. After regaining consciousness, they turned around and ran away.

But how could a man with two legs run through the flood? In just a few breaths, the terrifying waves rushed over one after another, directly scattering the general formation.
