Han Xin was busy adjusting his defenses here, waiting for the enemy to come to the door automatically, but there was no stopping on the mountain.

Ying Zheng had already arrived at the altar in a sheep cart, surrounded by his entourage.

Everything has been arranged here, just waiting for Ying Zheng to formally burn incense, pray, and salute to heaven.

Of course, the most important thing is to erect monuments, carve stones, and eulogize merits and virtues.

The so-called merit refers to the achievements of Ying Zheng, such as wiping out the six kingdoms and unifying the world.

On the one hand, it serves as a commemoration to tell the world about the achievements of the First Emperor; on the other hand, it serves as a demonstration or statement to God.

There is no doubt that the former has more practical significance, while the latter is more to coordinate with the ritual and show respect for God.

But it’s hard to say which aspect Ying Zheng values ​​more.

This process will be personally praised by Ying Zheng and then recorded on a stone tablet by Prime Minister Li Si - Li Si was asked to record it, firstly because of his identity, and secondly because of his good handwriting.

But just when Li Si was in place and Ying Zheng had not yet begun, an unexpected attack occurred.

A spear light and two sword lights cut through the air from three directions, heading straight for Ying Zheng.

The sudden surprise caused many people to scream, but Ying Zheng, the person involved, was very calm.

Due to their position, the attackers were far away from Ying Zheng. Even if they were fast, their attacks would not be able to pass through the surrounding entourage and guards in a short time and reach Ying Zheng.

This period of time is enough for the empire's defense forces to respond.

The Imperial Guards on duty did not have the ability to stop the assassins, nor did the Snare Killers and Shadow Guard spies hidden around them.

Fortunately, in addition to these regular units, the empire also arranged heroic units.

Zhang Han, the commander of the Shadow Guard, was the first to show up and take action. Long Xiang's sword was unsheathed and directly blocked the big black spear in the middle.

The owner of the gun was none other than Tian Heng, the man who initiated the assassination.

The other two assassins were also blocked immediately, and the one who took action was naturally Zhao Gao's ace, Luowen Six Sword Slave.

Their opponents are Chen He, the master of the Thunder Sword, and Xue Nu, the master of the Qingguang Sword.

The Mo family chose to participate in the assassination operation, and Xue Nu was directly involved in the operation.

Chen He also chose to join in because Gu Xun was not there.

Ten people divided two battlefields for fighting, and everyone avoided them.

Zhang Han's strength is slightly inferior to Tian Heng, but the qualitative difference is not considered and he is enough to entangle his opponent in a short period of time.

As for Chen and Xue Nu, the situation is even worse.

The two of them are both masters of the Seven Swords, but they have never fought together before. They basically fought on their own terms.

This kind of fighting style without tacit understanding made the six-in-one Six Sword Slaves very disadvantaged in the face of close cooperation. They were in danger almost from the beginning, which was far inferior to Gui Gu Zongheng's ability to face the Six Sword Slaves with ease.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course, the gap in hard power is the main reason.

In short, the assassins were at a disadvantage as soon as they started.

At the same time, the surrounding Imperial Guards, Shadow Guards and Snare Killers also surrounded him.

It's not possible to let them attack mainly, but it's okay to assist from the side.

If they also join the battle, Tian Heng and the others will be defeated immediately.

Fortunately, there are far more than just the three of them carrying out the assassination mission.

At the same time, more people rushed out from the surrounding hiding places.

They are the manpower of other forces. Their strength is not as good as that of Tian Heng and the others, but they are still excellent players.

Tian Heng and three others were the main attackers, and they were responsible for assisting and blocking other defense forces on site to prevent the main attacker from being trapped.

With their interference, the situation of Tian Heng and others finally stopped deteriorating, but it was not optimistic either.

The people of the Empire sent out an emergency signal and summoned reinforcements as soon as the attack occurred.

If nothing unexpected happens, more Imperial Guards, Snare Killers, Shadow Guards, and even the garrison troops at the foot of the mountain will arrive in less than half a quarter of an hour.

However, Tian Heng also arranged manpower to block the reinforcements, which would probably take a while and a half.

It's just that time seems to be of no use to them. The assassination operation has obviously failed, and they should consider how to evacuate safely.

However, neither the main attackers, Tian Heng or the other three, nor the assisting personnel from various forces, seemed to have any intention of escaping and were still holding on.

This was obviously a problem, so the empire did not completely relax.

Zhao Gao stood with his hands behind his back, guarding closely in front of Ying Zheng, carefully observing the surrounding situation.
