Just when Xianyang City was on fire, Ganquan Palace, which was dozens of miles away, was still quiet.

The dark night of winter is quiet and cold, and the lights in Ganquan Palace are everywhere, and the snowflakes are falling one after another, adding a bit of winter to this dark night.

In such a dark night, Sima Jin, the general of the Qin State, led a thousand elite soldiers under his command, and was quietly approaching Ganquan Palace.

The snowflakes fell on Sima Jin's shoulders one by one, and soon melted into drops of snow water, seeping into Sima Jin's body, making Sima Jin feel wet and very uncomfortable.

Sima Jin took a deep breath, and like a cheetah sneaking in the dark night, he slowly touched towards the Ganquan Palace not far away.

As long as you can kill the Ganquan Palace and kill the prince inside, then this operation is done.

The key is whether you can attack suddenly and crush the 3,000 defenders inside in one fell swoop.

Sima Jin himself is very confident in this.

All he needed to do now was wait for the time to come.

In a certain jungle about a mile away from Ganquan Palace, Sima Jin slowly squatted down and signaled the soldiers behind him not to act rashly.

It was a night without moon and stars, and Sima Jin didn't know what time it was, so he could only wait quietly.

It's a long, long wait.

The snowflakes slowly fell one by one and landed on Sima Jin's body, making Sima Jin slowly turn into a snowman.

Sima Jin was unmoved, his eyes were like eagles staring straight at the tallest, largest and most conspicuous hall in the palace group not far in front of him, waiting for the opportunity to come.

Finally, in Sima Jin's sight, the lights that were originally ubiquitous in Ganquan Palace slowly dimmed, and the lights in the main hall gradually went out.

This shows that the owner of the palace is ready to rest.

A quarter of an hour after seeing that the lights in the Ganquan Palace were completely dimmed, a burst of fire suddenly appeared in the Ganquan Palace.

This burst of fire looked unusual, because other fires brought warmth and light, but this one brought panic and fear.

"Walk the water, walk the water!"

The voice came from afar, and when it reached Sima Jin's ears, it was almost inaudible.

The fire continued to expand, and the Ganquan Palace fell into chaos.

Sima Jin took a deep breath, knowing in his heart that it was already time.

This fire did not appear for no reason, but came from the internal response that Mi Chen and Bai Qi had arranged in the Ganquan Palace in advance.

Sima Jin coughed lightly, stood up from the jungle suddenly, waved his hand vigorously, and launched an order towards the thousand elite troops behind him.

"Attack!"

As soon as Sima Jin's voice fell, the whole person immediately ran in the jungle like an agile cheetah.

After only a few big steps, he had already rushed from the jungle beside the road to the main road, and began to charge towards the gate of Ganquan Palace in front of him.

Perhaps because the focus was on the fire that suddenly ignited in the Ganquan Palace, Sima Jin rushed to nearly a hundred steps away from the gate of Ganquan Palace, and the guards on the wall of the gate of Ganquan Palace finally discovered Sima Jin and the thousands of soldiers behind him.

I have to say that these guards are actually quite fast.

At the moment when he spotted Sima Jin and the soldiers behind him, the piercing sound of cymbals began to echo throughout the Ganquan Palace.

"Enemy attack, there is enemy attack!"

Several bows and arrows shot down from the palace wall, aiming at Sima Jin's chest and head.

Sima Jin sneered, and suddenly raised the shield in his right hand, blocking all these bows and arrows.

Just rushed and blocked, and the palace gate of Ganquan Palace was already in front of him.

The palace gate is not high.

Sima Jin stared at the palace gate in front of him that was getting closer and closer, not only did not slow down, but also increased his speed.

At this moment, there was a sudden chaos on the palace wall, and there was the sound of weapons intersecting.

"Damn, there are traitors!"

Sima Jin clearly heard the exclamations of the defenders on the city wall, he grinned loudly and silently, the whole person was like a cheetah, a few steps to run and stepped on the city wall fiercely, and then volleyed in the air, just grabbing the edge of the palace wall.

I have to say that Ganquan Palace, as a place mainly used for vacation and health and summer vacation, is not as tall as Xianyang City in its palace walls, and it seems to be too easy to climb.

Sima Jin climbed to the palace wall very smoothly, and sure enough, he saw two teams of Qin State Guards fighting on the palace wall.

Sima Jin saw at a glance that one of the soldiers in the group had white linen tied to their right arms.

These soldiers of the Qin army tied with white linen cloth were Sima Jin's internal allies.

Sima Jin laughed loudly, and the whole person directly pulled out the weapon in his hand, like a tiger entering a flock, and rushed into the battlefield.

"Whoever stands in my way, die!"

Behind Sima Jin, one after another of his subordinates climbed up and appeared on top of the palace wall.

In less than a moment, the defenders on the entire palace wall had been completely dispersed.

The palace door was wide open, and all Sima Jin's subordinates rushed in.

Sima Jin, who was covered in blood, jumped down from the palace wall and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Quick, don't hesitate, go to the main hall quickly!" ”

Sima Jin knew very well in his heart that his goal this time was not to destroy the main force of the enemy, but only one goal, that is, to capture the crown prince located in the main hall.

Then he killed the crown prince.

If he can't catch the prince and is escaped by the prince, then even if Sima Jin kills everyone in this Ganquan Palace, it will still be a failure.

Sima Jin took the lead, and the whole person strode forward, leading the elite under his command, like an evil dragon, and rushed towards the interior of Ganquan Palace.

Obviously, this sudden change made the entire Ganquan Palace a mess, although there were also a few small groups of Praetorian Guards who wanted to block Sima Jin's attack, but Sima Jin faced such an obstacle with just one charge, so that these unknown blockers were all wiped out.

No one was able to walk through even a single round in front of this fierce general of the Qin State.

After another quarter of an hour, Sima Jin finally killed from the palace gate to the front of the main hall.

In front of the main hall, hundreds of Praetorian Guards lined up in a very tight defensive formation, and behind these Praetorian Guards, Sima Jin saw Lü Buwei in military uniform.

Lü Buwei seemed to be a little angry, and shouted at Sima Jin: "Sima Jin, are you crazy and dare to lead the army to make trouble!?" If you put down your weapon now, I can guarantee that you will be left with a whole corpse, otherwise, once you fall into my hands, it will be the fate of the three clans! ”

Sima Jin was completely indifferent to Lü Buwei's fierce threat, and instead responded to Lü Buwei with a burst of laughter.

"Lü Buwei! You are now a person who is on the verge of death, and you dare to make a big deal about it? Second and third sons, come with me, destroy these guys, and capture the prince!! ”

As soon as Sima Jin's voice fell, he directly led the soldiers in front of him to attack the palace guards led by Lü Buwei.

Here, Sima Jin encountered one of the strongest resistances.

The hundreds of palace guards under Lü Buwei were the elite of the elite, although their number was smaller than that of Sima Jin's subordinates, but they still withstood wave after wave of attacks from Sima Jin's subordinates.

No matter how Sima Jin takes the lead, it is still difficult to advance in the face of the resistance of these Praetorian Guard soldiers who sacrifice their lives and forget their lives.

The battle situation fell into a stalemate for a while.

Suddenly, Sima Jin felt alarmed, and the whole person rolled to the side.

With a "whoosh", a sharp arrow slashed through the air and smashed right into the place where Sima Jin had just been, the arrow sank into the snow, and the tail feathers at the end kept trembling.

"Whoosh!" A series of arrows rang out, and a rain of arrows suddenly covered the battlefield, and the soldiers under Sima Jin's command fell to the ground screaming one after another, suffering heavy losses.

"What's going on?" Sima Jin's eyes widened, and a shocked expression appeared on his face.

A steady stream of troops suddenly appeared from behind Sima Jin, numbering at least two or three thousand, and directly surrounded all of Sima Jin's troops under the leadership of a young general.

At the same time, the hundreds of Praetorian Guards led by Lü Buwei, who had been fiercely resisting head-on, suddenly and slowly retreated, retreating down the steps to the top of the temple gate on the high platform.

The tide of battle suddenly calmed down.

Sima Jin looked left and right, and found a very bad news.

He and the hundreds of remaining elites under his command seemed to have been encircled.

What surprised Sima Jin even more was that these arriving reinforcements were not the showmanships of ordinary Praetorian Guards, just the strong bows and crossbows in the hands of these arriving Qin troops, as well as the disciplined atmosphere when this platoon was arrayed, he could know that this was definitely the main battle corps of the Qin State.

A main battle corps of the Qin State actually appeared in the Ganquan Palace on the outskirts of Xianyang on such a snowy night, and just in time to rush to the aid and completely surround Sima Jin?

This is definitely not something that can be explained by coincidence.

Sima Jin's heart slowly sank.

At this time, if he didn't know that he had been tricked, then Sima Jin would really be a stupid donkey.

Sima Jin slowly moved his gaze upwards and saw Lu Buwei with a smug smile at the top of the high platform.

Lü Buwei said loudly: "Sima Jin, you and Qian Chen committed rebellion, do you really think that the prince knows nothing?" ”

After saying this, Lu Buwei suddenly took out half of the tiger talisman from his hand and raised it high.

"The generals listen to the order, the prince has ordered me to be fully responsible for exterminating Mi Chen, Sima Jin and other rebels, and none of them will be left behind if Sima Jin belongs to the rebel party!"

The next moment, fierce battles resumed.

But this time it was no longer Sima Jin who had the upper hand.

No matter how elite the troops led by Sima Jin were, they were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, no matter how brave Sima Jin was, it was impossible for him to lead these hundreds of troops to break through this encirclement.

Even so, Sima Jin still fought until the last moment.

After half an hour passed, the fierce battle finally ended.

Under the steps of the main hall of Ganquan Palace, thousands of corpses were poured horizontally, and blood was flowing, adding a red blood color to the dark snow.

Sima Jin held his sword on the ground, and the whole person was panting.

Around him, countless soldiers of the Qin Army stared at him tightly, and dozens or hundreds of iron spears firmly pointed at all the vital points on his body.

Suddenly, these Qin soldiers in front of Sima Jin gave way to a road, and Lü Buwei appeared in front of Sima Jin.

At this moment, Lu Buwei, with a hint of the inherent arrogance of a victor on his face, looked at Sima Jin condescendingly, and sneered at Sima Jin: "How about Sima Jin, when you rebelled, did you ever think of the current result?" ”

Sima Jin laughed loudly, his smile full of endless helplessness and desolation.

After a long time, Sima Jin said slowly: "My Sima clan has been loyal to Daqin for a hundred years, but I don't expect to sink into the sand today because of my Sima Jin. Sima Jin, ashamed of your ancestors! ”

Sima Jin roared wildly, suddenly stood up, raised the long sword in his hand and slashed at Lu Buwei in front of him.

But Sima Jin had just moved, and more than a dozen spears pierced his body in an instant from different directions, making his long sword impossible to cut down again.

Lu Buwei subconsciously took two steps back, looking at Sima Jin, who was dead but still majestic, he let out a sigh of fear, and then couldn't help but spit heavily.

"Rebels, how dare you brag so much!"
