"Your Highness, we have investigated thoroughly. It is the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms who have rebelled!!"
"And our Great Qin's armies have been dispatched in large numbers!"
"Therefore, there are not enough troops to resist the armies of the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms!!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Tian fell silent.
But beneath his silence lay boundless fury.
He had not expected that after conquering countless nations in the west, rebellion would arise within Great Qin itself.
What was worse, they were already wantonly slaughtering the people of Great Qin.
Such a thing was absolutely unbearable for Lin Tian.
His low voice carried clearly to everyone's ears.
"We are merely on a distant expedition, not dead!!"
"Yet they treat us as if we are dead, and slaughter the people of Great Qin with impunity. How outrageous!!"
"Since they dare to do this, then I shall make each and every one of them pay with blood!!"
As Lin Tian spoke, the soldiers of Great Qin immediately roared:
"Feng! Feng! Da Feng!"
At that moment, they wished they could immediately charge with Lin Tian and decimate those traitors of the Six Kingdoms.
However, Lin Tian made certain arrangements for them at this time.
Lin Tian left fifty thousand men to guard their ships.
He himself, with one hundred thousand men, headed straight for Xianyang City.
At this very moment, within Xianyang City, the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms were slowly closing in.
They had now grown to a considerable size.
Each of them commanded tens of thousands of men.
Simultaneously, these tens of thousands of men possessed their own weapons.
They could now truly be called an army.
Of course, their combat effectiveness was far from what it had been in their respective nations.
Not only was their discipline inferior to before, but their physical stamina had also waned, and their morale was completely scattered.
Yet, even so, these individuals posed a threat to the security of Great Qin.
Especially when the armies of the Six Kingdoms joined forces once more to surround Great Qin's Xianyang City, the situation became entirely different.
The Six Kingdoms combined numbered over two hundred thousand men.
With so many troops besieging Xianyang City, this marked the beginning of their victory.
Many among them were brimming with confidence.
"Previously, our Six Kingdoms joined forces to destroy the Qin, but our ancestors could not achieve it!"
"Now, with the restoration of our Six Kingdoms, our wish to destroy Qin together will be realized in our hands!"
"Soldiers, the destruction of Qin is imminent!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The soldiers of the Six Kingdoms were all incredibly excited.
They truly felt that the opportunity to destroy Great Qin was right before their eyes.
As long as they breached the city of Great Qin and stormed into their Xianyang City.
They would then be able to destroy Great Qin.
Therefore, each of them was sharpening their swords, awaiting their general's command.
The gathering of over two hundred thousand troops here further boosted their morale to the skies.
However, Ying Zheng, standing on the city walls, looked at such an army with utter disdain.
"A rabble!!"
To Ying Zheng, they were indeed a rabble.
Such an army was truly inferior.
Compared to the armies of Great Qin, they were incomparable.
If even a single army of Great Qin were present here, annihilating them would be a simple matter.
But, at this moment, there was no army of Great Qin present.
The usable troops within the entire Xianyang City numbered less than fifty thousand.
This also included a considerable number of civilians.
This meant that even if Ying Zheng harbored grand ambitions, and the generals of Great Qin were eager to fight, they could not break out.
Therefore, many of them felt incredibly stifled.
Since Great Qin had begun its conquest of other nations, they had never experienced such a frustrating war.
Seeing the soldiers of the Six Kingdoms, some of them could not help but shout:
"What are you so arrogant about? If our His Highness Lin Tian were here, you lot would be nothing but a rabble!"
"If our His Highness Lin Tian were to make a move, could you possibly withstand his attack?"
The name Lin Tian indeed stirred many spirits.
For many of the Six Kingdoms, Lin Tian's existence was more like a lifelong nightmare.
His personal prowess in battle was already terrifying. Anyone who had witnessed his might could casually mention his name.
Not to mention that he had also led Great Qin to unify the entire realm.
This instilled in everyone across the land a special sentiment towards the name Lin Tian.
And the people of the former Six Kingdoms, in particular, held a deep-seated fear.
However, despite their fear of Lin Tian, some among them remained stubborn.
"I admit that your Qin's Lin Tian is very powerful, but he hasn't returned to Great Qin for so long, which indicates he is dead!"
"Now, you are using a dead person to intimidate us. Do you think that has any deterrent effect on us?"
"I advise you to open your gates and surrender. If you surrender, we might spare your lives!"
"If you do not surrender, heh heh, then do not blame us for being ruthless!"
After uttering these words, the faces of the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms revealed sinister smiles.
However, the Great Qin soldiers on the city walls paid no heed to their words.
After all, who would pay attention to the words of a rabble?
It was precisely this indifference that further enraged the nobles of the former Six Kingdoms.
"Kill! Attack the city now! Now, seize their city!"
"Kill!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers of the former Six Kingdoms, without any hesitation, launched a charge towards Xianyang City.
Although they were a rabble, they still possessed experience in siege warfare.
Therefore, their speed in assaulting the city was very rapid.
This rapid pace indeed put some pressure on the Qin soldiers within the city.
Especially their reckless charge, which made the Qin soldiers feel that their city gates were beginning to waver.
This made everyone's expression turn grim.
"Hold on, we must hold on! As long as we defend Xianyang City, His Highness the Crown Prince will surely return to save us!"
"All soldiers, you must defend our city gates! We are defending not only all of Great Qin, but also our homes!"
With these words, the Great Qin soldiers naturally resisted more fiercely.
However, their fierce resistance only made the soldiers of the Six Kingdoms even more exhilarated.
"Haha! Defend, defend with all your might! You cannot hold this city gate!"
"This world, in the end, belongs to our Six Kingdoms!"
