On the day the empress ascended the throne, my body was hung at the city gate

Chapter 74 Then issue a declaration of war to the 72 countries
"The forest is dark and the grass is frightened by the wind, the general draws his bow at night."

The young man in Confucian robes chanted again with a solemn voice.

In an instant, the originally calm void suddenly flashed with endless thunder, densely covering the sky.

As if the end of the world is coming, the earth shakes and everything screams.

Immediately afterwards, a giant bow emerged from the void.

The bowstring is like snow, giving off an icy sheen.

"Whoosh!"

Just listen to a whistling sound.

Thunder burst out, and huge sharp arrows crossed the sky, heading straight for the Jin army.

Wherever it went, lightning exploded.

The terrifying energy distorts the void and makes people's hearts tremble.

rumbling...

In an instant, boundless blood mist filled the air outside Dashan Pass.

Whether it was horses or human figures, they all turned into blood and mud in front of this terrifying force.

Even the ancient trees that were as tall as the clouds were broken.

There were even several towering old trees that were cut off at the waist.

It fell to the ground, kicking up billowing smoke and dust.

At this moment, there was peace inside and outside Dashan Pass.

Only the young man in Confucian robes was left standing on top of the city, looking down upon the others.

"fire!"

"Huo Tongying, take aim and hit me."

“No one can retreat today!!!”

The battle at the Great Xiao Pass was perhaps the most intense.

Not only because of the mysterious man who calls himself Mo Zhai, but also because of the unprecedented horror revealed by the Ming Dynasty at this time.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several Vulcan cannons let out low roars, and clusters of blazing projectiles streaked across the sky like meteors chasing the moon, heading towards Dashan Pass.

The well-trained Huotongying armed with bird weapons followed closely behind.

When the other five countries were still using backward fighting methods such as crossbows and cavalry.

The Ming Dynasty, which has been developing in a low-key manner, has actually popularized firearms.

Everyone underestimated this ordinary small country that had always been unknown among the six countries.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two shells fell in succession.

Two deep pits suddenly appeared on the ground in front of the Great Xiao Pass.

Countless gravel flew and smoke filled the sky.

The results are obvious.

The city gate of Dashanguan was already crumbling under the constant bombardment, and cracks appeared on the city wall.

But everyone still didn't dare to slack off at all.

All because of that mysterious figure standing in front of the Great Xiao Pass.

Creak, creak, creak.

Just when the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty focused all their attention on the figure, a sound like the rotation of gears suddenly came from the sky.

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but raise their heads in confusion and looked towards the source of the sound. Everyone's pupils suddenly shrank at this moment.

That's a bird.

To be precise, a bird made of wood.

Incomparably huge.

It is several feet tall and is as big as a house.

The sound that everyone heard just now was the sound of the internal organs of the wooden bird operating.I saw that a certain mechanism on the wooden bird's abdomen was loose, allowing it to slowly open its wings.

When it soared into the sky and floated above the sky, everyone felt the roar of the wind in their ears.

Another black steel ball, like a cannonball, was spit out from the wooden bird's mouth.

"Boom!"

When the steel ball hits the ground, it will detonate an area, forming a violent shock wave that ruthlessly sweeps across all directions.

The huge rocks outside Daxiao Pass were blown to pieces, and rocks flew everywhere.

Endless smoke and dust rose up, covering the sky.

"what……"

Amidst the smoke and dust in the sky, screams could be heard endlessly.

One by one, the soldiers were hit by steel balls, and their bodies exploded and turned into blood.

The scene was extremely horrifying, almost like Shura Hell.

"Go quickly, retreat quickly!"

Seeing this scene, the Ming army completely collapsed.

Wherever they dared to fight, they all turned around and ran away.

Only the devastated Dasanguan Pass was left...

"I, the representatives of hundreds of schools of Confucianism, are here to pay homage to His Majesty the King of Qin."

"I, the representatives of hundreds of schools of legalism, are here to pay homage to His Majesty the King of Qin."

"I, the representative of the disciples of the Mohist family, would like to pay homage to Your Majesty."

"Chen, the representative of the Yin Yang family..."

"Chen, famous master..."

"Chen, the farmer..."

"Novelists, political strategists, military strategists, and doctors, all come together to pay homage to Your Majesty."

Xianyang City.

Ying Zheng was sitting on the dragon throne, his eyes were like lightning, as if he had looked down through the tall doors and windows of the palace to the smoke of war in the distance.

He looked majestic on the dragon throne, and the royal aura filled the palace from the inside out.

A pair of rugged eyes seem to hide endless wisdom and ambition. If they are touched even slightly, they will fall into a whirlpool.

"Do you know how many countries there are in this world today?"

Ying Zheng's hoarse voice sounded slowly.

"Reporting to your Majesty, as far as I know, there are 72 countries in the world today. Except for the six largest countries, there are countless smaller countries.

Such as the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Dynasty, Northern Wei, Northern Vietnam, Western Chu..."

"Southern Tang, Southern Song..."

"Northern Qi, Sui clan..."

"Daxia, Song, Yuan, Mongolia, Xianbei..."

"Xixia, Jin, Liao, Khitan, Wuhuan..."

Your Highness, the courtier said respectfully.

After hearing the voice, Ying Zheng still looked expressionless.

His fingers kept tapping on the chair, and an invisible aura spread, oppressing everyone, causing sweat to gradually appear on everyone's forehead.

"72 countries, what a 72 countries."

"How many monarchs do you think there should be in this world?"

"Naturally, there can only be one. As the saying goes, in the whole world, there is no one who is not the king, and there is no one who is the king's minister."

This time, the courtiers responded quickly.

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and then said in a calm tone, revealing that it could not be questioned.

"In this case, let's issue a declaration of war to these 72 countries starting today."
