The armies of the six states continuously battered the city gates, their spirits soaring.
They felt victory was within their grasp.
But at this moment, the thunder of galloping warhorses echoed from afar.
This sound of charging steeds stunned everyone.
The Da Qin soldiers on the city walls immediately looked into the distance.
Standing highest, they could see furthest.
What met their eyes were black banners and an army clad in black armor.
At first, they were stunned, then they all became ecstatic.
"It's Da Qin's army, it's our Da Qin's army!!"
"Ah! Da Qin's army has appeared, Da Qin's army has come to save us!!"
"Could this be the Crown Prince's army? Has the Crown Prince returned??"
As for whether Lin Tian had returned, these Da Qin soldiers did not know.
The distance was too great; they could not see clearly.
However, this did not stop them from speculating that Lin Tian had returned, that Lin Tian's army had returned.
For this was also their most beautiful fantasy.
In their fantasy, as long as Lin Tian returned, all of Da Qin's crises would be resolved.
Therefore, they yearned for Lin Tian to lead the army back.
And because of this, many of them strained their eyes, wanting to see if it was indeed Lin Tian leading the army back.
If the reaction of the Da Qin soldiers was like this, how much more so for the soldiers of the six states.
The soldiers of the six states feared Lin Tian to an extreme degree.
They were terrified that Lin Tian's army would suddenly strike back.
If they did, these soldiers would be like mere dishes before Lin Tian's army, easily slaughtered.
With their combat effectiveness, they could not possibly resist Lin Tian's charge, let alone his army.
Thus, they could only hope that it was not Lin Tian's army.
Someone at this moment voiced this hope directly.
"Everyone, do not worry, that is not Qin's Lin Tian's army, that is just an ordinary Qin army!!"
"Now, dispatch a hundred thousand troops to intercept their army, and the rest of the army, continue the attack on the city!!"
"As long as we break through Xianyang City and kill Qin King Ying Zheng, Da Qin will be completely finished, and they will have no way to deal with us!!"
Upon hearing this, the armies of the six states indeed moved. They dispatched a hundred thousand troops, heading in Lin Tian's direction, intending to block Lin Tian's army.
However, only when they drew closer did they discover that it truly was Lin Tian's army.
They recognized that the person leading the charge was Lin Tian himself.
Lin Tian's appearance was now deeply etched in the minds of many soldiers of the six states.
Especially his terrifying killing ability, which was a lingering nightmare for countless people.
Because of this, upon seeing Lin Tian charging towards them, they were instantly terrified.
"Ah! It's Lin Tian, it's Qin's Lin Tian, Qin's Lin Tian has returned!!"
"Disaster! Qin's Lin Tian has returned, we are finished, we are finished!!"
"Quick, let's escape from here quickly, we cannot be Lin Tian's opponent, if Lin Tian attacks, we will surely die!!"
Upon seeing Lin Tian, those soldiers immediately lost the will to fight.
In their hearts, Lin Tian had long left an indelible impression.
Under these circumstances, Lin Tian did not even need to attack them; they were already filled with fear.
Thus, before Lin Tian and the army behind him even reached these soldiers of the six states, they had already begun to flee.
Such a rout was something even Lin Tian had not anticipated.
But seeing Xianyang City still under attack in the distance, Lin Tian did not hesitate and continued to issue his command to attack.
"Kill! Charge through them, annihilate them all!!"
"Kill! Kill these damned remnants, how dare they attack our Xianyang City!!"
"The Crown Prince has decreed, kill them all!!"
"Kill, we'll charge now, don't let a single one escape!!"
After Lin Tian issued the kill order, the soldiers behind him charged without hesitation.
As for the retreating remnant armies of the six states, they paid them no mind.
At this moment, they were exactly as Ying Zheng had described, a rabble.
Why would Lin Tian bother with such a mob?
His primary mission now was to ensure the safety of Xianyang City.
As for the remnants of the six states, he could deal with them slowly.
And because of this, he and the army behind him soon arrived near Xianyang City.
The sound of their hooves reached the ears of the remaining remnants of the six states.
This made their leaders instinctively feel impatient.
"What is going on? Didn't our army go to intercept the Qin army? Why is the Qin army already charging over?"
"No, I don't know! Our army seems to have failed to intercept them!"
"Failed to intercept? What were those good-for-nothings doing?"
After uttering these reproving words, their leaders instinctively turned to look in the direction of Lin Tian.
Upon seeing this, they were instantly terrified.
They saw that the troops they had dispatched were rapidly retreating.
And the Da Qin army was swiftly charging towards them.
This was not the most important thing; the most important thing was that they saw Lin Tian among the Da Qin army.
Yes, they recognized Lin Tian as well.
Therefore, many of them were filled with extreme fear.
"Lin Tian, it's Qin's Lin Tian!"
"It's over, Qin's Lin Tian has returned, Qin's Lin Tian has returned!"
"What? Qin's Lin Tian has returned? We are finished, we are all finished!"
When they were attacking Xianyang City, even if Wang Jian had led an army to attack, they would not have been so terrified.
Only by Lin Tian were they terrified to the extreme.
Upon hearing the name Lin Tian, they instantly lost their fighting capacity.
Hearing that Lin Tian's army had returned, their legs went weak.
It wasn't just one or two people who felt this way; all the armies of the six states felt it.
They genuinely feared Lin Tian and his army to the utmost.
This fear even made them abandon their attack on Xianyang City.
The only thought in the minds of many of them was to flee, to escape immediately, and to get as far away from Lin Tian as possible.
