I really didn't want to burn it.

Snapped!

Li Ang slapped his simple-minded godson on the head.

"Of all people to imitate, you have to be like Lü Bu! Do you think I'm too old for you?"

Xiang Yu scratched the back of his head, looking completely bewildered.

He wasn't very good at history; he thought for a long time but couldn't remember any ancient person named Lü Bu.

"puff--"

Han Xin covered his mouth and chuckled to himself from behind.

"Han Xin, you better be serious! Steal the tower!"

"As ordered!"

"Get out of here quickly, I'll bring some men to cover you!"

After giving his instructions, Li Ang quickly ran up to the city wall.

He didn't know how long Ying Zheng's golden light could last, and needed to keep abreast of the battlefield situation.

"Damn it, I should have helped Qin develop its technology."

Li Ang did indeed "invent" quite a few things after arriving in this world, but he didn't take the Qin Dynasty too far.

Li Ang did not "invent" things like firearms or steam engines; instead, he let the artisans of Qin figure them out themselves.

Li Ang did not want Qin's technological capabilities to be entirely developed by him, leading to excessive dependence on him and thus hindering the growth of the Qin.

In that case, after I leave, the technology of the Great Qin Dynasty may very well come to a standstill.

Li Ang's approach wasn't entirely wrong, after all, Qin's current level was enough to crush the world, and it would be perfectly fine for them to gradually advance their technological advancements.

However, Li Ang's route planning was based on the premise that the Qin Dynasty existed in a scientific world without mysterious powers.

Who would have thought that their world would suddenly become a singularity where monsters and demons roam freely?!

"You better not get caught by me!"

Li Ang cursed a certain mastermind behind the scenes.

Beneath the city wall, Xiang Yu, ready for battle, said to Han Xin, "How about we have a contest?"

"Compared to what?"

Xiang Yu glanced at him provocatively: "Let's see who can take down one by one, one by one, and see who's faster."

"Okay."

Han Xin chuckled.

In terms of individual martial prowess, he was indeed no match for Xiang Yu.

But if we're talking about who's the best at leading troops, then Han Xin is definitely the one to answer that question.

Having worked with Xiang Yu for so many years, Han Xin knew his capabilities perfectly well.

This simpleton's specialty is leading his soldiers in a charge formation to overwhelm the enemy, almost entirely relying on his personal bravery to defeat them, without any skill involved.

"Let me show you what the true art of war is! I am the master of mobile warfare appointed by the Grand Preceptor."

Han Xin drew his long sword from his waist and shouted, "All troops, listen to my command! After leaving the city gate, spread out in a cone shape, three riders per group. The target is that cannon!"

In fact, Han Xin didn't know what that thing that could shoot light balls was. Since the Grand Tutor said it was a cannon, then he would call it a cannon.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

The cavalrymen following behind him raised their arms and shouted.

Xiang Yu turned to his troops and said, "We are also Qin soldiers, and we must not lose to Han Xin's soldiers!"

"For His Majesty! For Great Qin! For Godfather! Barbara, go for it!"

Seeing that the city gates had been opened, Xiang Yu shouted the slogan that Li Ang often used when he was fighting.

"Gentlemen, now is the time to make our mark and achieve great things!"

Xiang Yu and Han Xin released their horses' reins almost simultaneously and charged ahead.

Behind them was the steel torrent of this era, the black iron cavalry of the Qin Dynasty.

--------------------------

"I didn't expect you to actually make a move."

On a hillside not far from Cloud City, Red A looked at Ying Zheng, who was raising his hand, with some surprise.

“They are all my subjects, so naturally I must protect them.”

Ying Zheng withdrew his hand, which had been emitting golden light, and answered as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Red A shrugged dismissively: "I thought you were going to say something like 'All land under heaven belongs to the king.'"

Ying Zheng glanced at him and said, "These people recognize me as the ruler of the world, so I must be responsible for them. This is the most normal and equal exchange."

Red A gaped, looking like he was saying, "You tyrant, you actually believe this?"

Even Jing Ke was very surprised. For the first time, she didn't look at Ying Zheng with a stern face, as she had never given him a kind look before.

"I thought you, tyrant, would say that it is only natural for the people to send you to your death."

"I once had this idea, considering myself the Son of Heaven." Ying Zheng nodded without hesitation, "But Li Ang told me that if the whole country is in poverty, the imperial mandate will end forever. Only by enabling the people to live a happy and prosperous life can the country prosper forever."

"That person actually said such things... I thought he was just a lecher."

Seeing Ying Zheng looking at him with displeasure, Red A quickly changed the subject: "With an emperor like you, it's no wonder everyone approves of the Qin Dynasty."

I always felt that these two friends were somewhat similar to that glittering king.

Both were tyrants, and both were close friends. Red A began to compare Qin Shi Huang with another person he knew.

"Why doesn't Your Majesty the Qin Emperor, who is so beloved, help your people wipe out the Xiongnu army?"

In response to Jing Ke's sarcastic remarks, Ying Zheng simply said, "I am their emperor, not their nanny. If I have to do everything, it will only make people lazy and overly dependent on me."

"and……"

Ying Zheng looked toward the city gate in the clouds, and saw the gate slowly open, and a troop of black-armored cavalry rushed out.

“These rabble can handle themselves.”

Ying Zheng's words refocused the Chaldea group's attention on the battlefield.

The army that rushed out of Cloud City split into two large groups, their target clearly being the two giant cannons.

"Is what they're doing...?"

Red A felt that the Qin cavalry were a bit overconfident. With such a small force, they dared to charge the Xiongnu army formation, especially with the Xiongnu's most heavily fortified cannons.

Then he was slapped in the face.

The Qin army's black-armored cavalry, arranged in a tight formation, swept through the Xiongnu's army like a hurricane.

In just two minutes, these two thousand Qin cavalrymen charged through the Xiongnu army formation at high speed, braving attacks from all directions.

Those arrogant and seemingly ferocious monsters became direct victims of these two cavalry units.

During the Qin army's charge, those who stood in the way were either trampled into mincemeat by the cavalry or scattered by them.

At the same time, the morale and spirit of the Xiongnu army were also shattered!

Those monsters were indeed fearless of death, but there were also countless ordinary Xiongnu people in the Xiongnu army.

The moment the Qin army charged into the enemy formation.

The entire Xiongnu army stood dumbfounded, watching the Qin soldiers, brandishing their sabers, charge through their ranks unscathed.

What followed was a complete collapse of the army!

Ordinary Hun soldiers began to leave their positions, trying to get away from the terrifying black cavalry.

Even though the kobold overseer killed a few deserters, the situation of the entire army fleeing did not improve.

In the era of cold weapons, the biggest fear for such a densely packed military formation was the chaos that would ensue once order was lost.

In fact, only a few hundred people died in the initial cavalry charge.

However, they began to flee for their lives.

They immediately tore the entire Xiongnu army formation to shreds.

Then, the snowball effect began.

Even the Xiongnu soldiers who wanted to resist and fight the Qin army were dragged along by this fleeing army.

Occasionally, a few kobolds and goblins, wanting to reorganize their rebellion, would attempt to bring a portion of their army and stabilize the situation.

But with the arrival of the Qin cavalry, these monsters on the front lines of resistance were cut down by the Qin army like melons.

The routed Xiongnu soldiers cried out in despair.

Then, these people swarmed forward and overwhelmed the monster army that had previously been high above them and had bullied them in various ways, burying them under the hooves of their own horses.

So, after Xiang Yu and Han Xin led their cavalry in a charge through the Xiongnu army, they...

The Qin army, from top to bottom, was astonished to find that they no longer needed to charge into battle.

The Xiongnu people collapsed on their own.

"Are these really human cavalry?"

Red A asked Ying Zheng, trembling.

"They are my army."

Ying Zheng smiled proudly, like a parent praising their child's excellence.

P.S.: I saw on the news today that the number of flights to Japan has been greatly reduced due to the pandemic.

Female flight attendants from Japan Airlines came to Munakata Shrine in Fukuoka Prefecture for training to serve as shrine maidens during the Japanese New Year.

For this kind of simple and superficial dress-up play, even a hardcore shrine maiden enthusiast like Mimi-chan...

It was simply impossible to refuse.

So, when will Japanese policewomen start working part-time at shrines?

That would truly be Mimi-chan's paradise. (???*)

Chapter 16 Brother Zheng: I not only cheat myself, but I also cheat others.

"Damn, I didn't expect it to be this simple."

Faced with the chaotic Xiongnu army, Han Xin smacked his lips twice, looking somewhat unsatisfied.

However, Han Xin also knew that his cavalry's outstanding achievements were entirely due to their superior weaponry.

All the weapons of the raiding cavalry, including those of Han Xin and Xiang Yu, were coated with poison provided by Li Ang.

This poison is incredibly effective against these inhuman monsters; it's truly deadly if it touches them, or if you just brush against them.

It was precisely through superior equipment that Han Xin and Xiang Yu were able to easily break through the Xiongnu army's defenses.

If Han Xin were to attempt the same feat again without the aid of weapons, even if he were confident of achieving the same results, the cost would likely be much higher.

"The medicine the Imperial Advisor gave us is really effective. Why not give us more?"

Watching the Xiongnu army retreat like a receding tide, Han Xin once again uttered a voice of resentment.

After the fierce battle, the poison applied to the weapons has been almost used up.

The last few monsters that Han Xin killed were able to struggle for a moment before they died, indicating that the effects of the poison had weakened considerably.

Continuing the pursuit at this point would likely result in being entangled by those mad dogs (dog-headed men), and Han Xin was unwilling to take such a risk.

boom!

Just then, a heavy thud was heard in the distance.

Han Xin quickly looked toward the source of the sound and discovered that it was Xiang Yu who had made the noise.
