Chapter 120: Qin Ying’s power suppresses Zhao State! Hear this! Zhao Yan frowned. "Could it be the Qin army?" A minister said with some fear. The words fell. Zhao Yan immediately became terrified: "Hurry up and send a message to Lord Xinling to ask whether Wei will send troops to help." "promise." A minister in charge of communication immediately ran over from outside the hall. "Your Majesty." "This army is only ten miles away from Handan. It will take only one stick of incense to reach my capital. The city gates are now wide open." "The city gates should be closed quickly. Otherwise, it will be dangerous if there really are Qin troops outside the city." A minister shouted.
"Yeah." "Close the gates." "Close it quickly." Zhao Yan said immediately. "Your Majesty." "Outside the city are baggage trains transporting food and fodder. It may be difficult to withdraw these baggage within an incense stick of time." Guo Kai said immediately. "This……" Zhao Yan's face changed. In order to deal with the Qin army, Zhao Yan has ordered to make every effort to raise food and fodder this time. Food and fodder from various places were first gathered in Handan, and then distributed from Handan to Danyang. It can be said that the main grain and grass route of Zhao State was still in Handan. "Your Majesty." "There's no time to think about it." "If it really is the Qin army, if we really let the Qin army enter the city, our great Zhao will be in danger." The Zhao minister who just spoke said with a serious expression. "Close the city gate." "The baggage trains that have left the city should be sent to Danyang as soon as possible, and those that have not left the city should be returned as soon as possible." For his own safety, Zhao Yan made a prompt decision. "Great King Shengming." Many court officials echoed this. The army has been sent to Danyang for support, including 50,000 imperial guards and 50,000 troops from the capital. Among the countries in China, although only the Qin Dynasty succeeded in its reforms, the military systems were almost the same.
The only difference between these countries and the Qin Dynasty is that The location of the capital. Not all members of the Imperial Guard are elite, as most of them are powerful and aristocratic families. This is also a common problem among the six states in Shandong. Without reform, their power class will ultimately be hereditary, and without fresh blood, they are doomed to fail. This is the collision of old law and new law. The Qin Dynasty had already become strong in the past. Soon. "Report." "I just received an urgent message from Lord Xinling of Wei." "The Wei State is currently in a bitter battle with the Qin Army. Lord Xinling is personally leading troops to guard the border and is holding off the Qin Army. No reinforcements have been sent." "Xinling Jun, please continue to hold on. In a month at most, Xinling Jun can mobilize at least 100,000 troops to come to your aid." The minister who had just been summoned came running over. "If it's not reinforcements, then it's the Qin army." "not good." Zhao Yan's expression suddenly changed: "Can the city gate be closed?" "Reporting to the king, it has been closed." A military official said immediately. "Damn Qin army, how could they enter my Handan territory?" "Could it be that they have broken through Lian Po's defense?" Zhao Yan was a little anxious at this moment. "Your Majesty." "Perhaps it is because the Three Jins are transporting troops through the Great Dao, and the Qin State has already seized the territory of the South Korean State, so they can directly pass through the Great Dao." "I think the Qin army disguised itself as the Wei army and came from the Chidao Road." A military official reported. "Damn Ying Zheng." Zhao Yan cursed. But then there was a look of urgency. "Quickly dispatch troops to the city to defend it, quickly." Zhao Yan shouted loudly. Outside Handan city! As the city gates closed, the Zhao State's grain and baggage transport teams that had already left the city were still confused. "Don't delay."
"Danyang needs food and fodder, we can't delay any longer." General Zhao, who was in charge of escorting the grain, shouted. But the next moment. Boom, boom, boom! The earth began to shake violently. It seemed that countless soldiers were rushing towards Handan. "what?" "Is there a large army coming?" Thousands of Zhao army soldiers transporting grain all looked ahead in surprise and confusion. Countless cavalrymen were galloping towards us at a rapid speed. But first. These soldiers transporting grain from Zhao did not expect that it was the Qin army, because this was where his capital was located. The Qin army was blocked west of Danyang City and could not come over. The army attacked. The leading general frowned. When he saw the troop movements in Handan, the capital of Zhao, he immediately understood. "It seems that Zhao has already known that our army is not the Wei army." "That's fine, too." "At least we have reached Handan City." A sneer appeared on Zhao Feng's face. Then he raised his spear and shouted in a mighty voice: "Throw down the Wei flag and raise the Qin flag." A threatening shout. Followed. Hundreds of Wei flags were directly discarded at the front line of the cavalry. Following closely, one Qin flag after another, symbolizing the power of the Qin Empire, rose into the sky. Zhao Feng took the opportunity to tear off the Wei military uniform on his body and threw it away. Behind him, countless Qin warriors threw away their Wei military uniforms. Instantly. Black armor, black military uniform.
They are all shrouded in countless sharp warriors. The Qin cavalry and the power of Qin were displayed in the capital of Zhao State. "Great Qin warrior." "kill!" Zhao Feng shouted loudly. He rode his horse forward at full speed, his eyes fixed on the Zhao army's grain transport team ahead. "Wind, wind, wind." "Strong wind." The deafening shouts echoed throughout the empty sky. Countless Qin cavalry rushed forward. Head straight for Handan. this moment. The thousands of Zhao soldiers transporting grain outside the city all had expressions of fear on their faces. "The Qin army...it's the Qin army." "How could they attack our capital?" "Did Danyang City fall?" "Retreat, retreat quickly..." The Zhao army's grain transport soldiers were terrified and without thinking twice, they abandoned their grain transport carts and fled in panic towards Handan city. "arrow." Zhao Feng shouted loudly. He already had the bow and arrow in his hand. The Qin cavalry behind him also moved. Bow and arrow. "kill!" Zhao Feng shouted loudly. The arrow in his hand flew out of the bow. The Qin cavalry behind him fired arrows at once. It shot towards the fleeing Zhao soldiers.
Under random arrows. A scene of bloodshed. "Ah...ah..." Screams rang out in front of the city of Handan. One after another, Zhao soldiers fell in a pool of blood. But the Qin cavalry continued to attack and kill crazily. When the attack reached this point, it was the heartland of Zhao State. The Qin Dynasty would definitely not leave any prisoners because it had no time to take care of them. Kill all enemies you encounter. "Conquer Handan." "The great achievement of destroying Zhao." "As long as Handan falls, the State of Zhao will perish." There was excitement in Zhao Feng's eyes. He must achieve this unprecedented feat. The city of Handan is high and its defenses are strong. But Zhao Feng has his trump card to break the city. With the trump card left by his great-grandmaster, he still has three chances. And Zhao Feng plans to use this crucial opportunity once in Handan City today. With enough power to kill a grandmaster, it is not difficult to break through the city wall. "It's really Qin Jun." "They are going to attack my capital." General Zhao on the city wall looked solemn when he saw the Qin cavalry rushing towards the city frantically. In addition to the Qin cavalry, there were tens of thousands of Qin infantrymen behind them. The number of troops will definitely not be less than 100,000. and. They all seem to be elite. Countless Qin cavalrymen were covered in blood. "Open the city gate."
"General, open the city gate quickly." "The Qin people are coming to kill us." "General..." The remaining Zhao Yunliang soldiers ran to the city, shouting in fear. only. Their shouting did not cause any ripples among the Zhao army on the city wall. "Archers prepare." "The trebuchet is ready." "Ballista ready." The commander of the Zhao Imperial Guards defending the city gate shouted, drew his sword and pointed it in front of the city. "drink." The Zhao soldiers on the city wall drew their bows and crossbows. The catapults on the city walls were also ready. General Zhao estimated the distance of the Qin army approaching. When the breakthrough reached a hundred feet. "kill!" General Zhao shouted loudly. Shhhhhh. Shhhhhh. Boom boom boom. Countless arrows, crossbows, and rolling stones were fired wildly from the city to the outside. "dispersion." Zhao Feng shouted loudly. The true energy was redirected to protect the whole body. He then sped up his horse and rushed towards Handan, holding the spear in his left hand while quietly drawing the Emperor's Sword with his right hand. The Qin cavalry behind him quickly dispersed. Arrows were fired from the city of Handan and fell rapidly. Accompanied by waves of arrows raining down.
Many Qin cavalrymen were killed by the arrows and fell off their horses. Many were pierced by crossbows and crushed into meat paste by rolling stones. But none of these could stop the Qin army's advance. "General, can we really break into this city?" "This is the capital of Zhao State. If you are not a Grandmaster, you cannot break into the city." Behind Zhao Feng, Zhang Han said with a worried look on his face. This time, Zhao Feng adopted the same tactics as Wang Jian, with cavalry as the vanguard. This is a tactic that can only be performed when a grandmaster is present, because the grandmaster's power is enough to forcefully blow down the city wall. Without the grandmaster, this tactic would be difficult to implement. Zhao Feng's implementation of this tactic naturally made Zhang Han very worried. Although we know that Zhao Feng is very powerful and once had the power to kill a grandmaster, perhaps luck was also involved. If this tactic fails, the cavalry will be dead once they reach the city. "The order has been given, just obey!" Zhao Feng shouted loudly. Speed up the advance. He kept swinging the Emperor's Sword in his hand. Every time the sword was swung out, a sword light would steal the air. Hundreds and thousands of arrows were directly chopped into pieces by the sword light. Zhao Feng rode his horse quickly and rushed to a position less than ten feet away from the city of Handan. Arrows rained down from the city, and Zhao Feng swept them down with his spear. Simultaneously. Shift the true qi in Dantian. "Sword, cut!" Powerful true energy is added to the Emperor's Sword. He swung his sword towards the city gate in front of him. A sword beam reaching more than fifty feet in length formed instantly and turned into a giant sword that slashed down with a bang. The power of this sword. It's almost as good as a casual attack from a grandmaster. Boom! The sword flashed down. The city wall shook violently, and the city defense formation was activated, directly blocking the powerful sword force. "General Qin."
"Although you are a master, even a great master of my city's formation would have difficulty breaking it." "If you offend my Great Zhao, I will make you die." "Fire arrows." "kill." Although he was shocked by the power of Zhao Feng's sword, General Zhao on the city wall thought of the protection of the formation and shouted coldly. The rain of arrows from the city wall fell even more terrifyingly. Qin cavalry rushed towards the city. They were killed by arrows from time to time, it was a very tragic scene. "My full-strength attack is comparable to that of an ordinary Grandmaster." "But I still can't break the city. The gap between me and the Grandmaster is still there." "It seems I have to use the trump card my grandfather left for me." Think of this. Zhao Feng raised the Emperor's Sword again, empowering himself with the true energy in his Dantian, but this time he did not use his own martial arts to cut down the city. "Grandfather." "Whether I can achieve this extraordinary feat depends entirely on the trump card you left for me." Zhao Feng muttered to himself. His eyes became extremely cold and stern. "Master, may you bless me." Zhao Feng shouted in his heart. Suddenly he swung the sword. Another sword light slashed through the air. Compared to the sword that Zhao Feng had just swung out with all his strength, the sword light from this sword was less than thirty feet long. But no matter who it is, no one can feel the aura and realm contained in this sword. "It's the breath of our ancestors again." "This kid really has a big trump card left by his ancestors." "It can actually bring out the power of the ancestors." Above the void. No one has detected it, not even the Grand Master can see it. A pair of eyes watched silently.
With this sword slashed out. The Zhao generals and soldiers on the city wall didn't take it seriously, but the next moment. The swords touched for a moment. The city defense formation was then activated. But no one could imagine the shock that would be caused by blocking the power of this sword. It is a force that can crush anything with overwhelming force. The sword flashed down. boom! The city defense formation was instantly shattered. The entire city wall's protective formation was instantly shattered. Strong city gates and towers. Boom! ! It shattered instantly, cut directly in half by the sword. "This is impossible……" General Zhao, who was standing on the city wall, watched in horror. The moment he was engulfed by the sword light, the Qi barrier on his body didn't even have any resistance, and he was completely engulfed by the sword light. The sword falls. A thirty-foot-long ravine cut into the ground, mixed with blood and flesh, appeared, and a thirty-foot-long city wall was broken open, and countless Zhao soldiers were wailing. "It's done." "Zhao Guo." “He’s going to die.” "Master, great power." See this scene. A relieved smile appeared on Zhao Feng's face. Subsequently. His eyes were cold and stern. "Great Qin warrior." "Attack the capital of Zhao and capture the King of Zhao alive." "Kill with me!" Zhao Feng shouted loudly. They were the first to rush into the city.
"The general actually destroyed Handan City?" "He already possesses the power of a grandmaster." Zhang Han looked on in awe. next moment. "General Kamui." "The capital of Zhao has been conquered. Enter the capital of Zhao and capture the King of Zhao." "Take this extraordinary achievement." "kill." Zhang Han shouted loudly and followed Zhao Feng into the city. at the rear. Every Qin cavalryman was full of fighting spirit. "Follow the general and kill." Countless Qin cavalry roared and rushed into the city. See Zhao Bing in the city. madly slaughter. The Qin army entered the Zhao capital! ! Inside Longtai Palace! "Your Majesty." "Something bad is going on." "The Qin army has entered the city." "General Li Wu died in battle." A general ran into Longtai Palace in panic to report. "Even a grandmaster of my Handan city defense formation finds it difficult to break it. Could it be that a grandmaster has arrived from the Qin army?" Zhao Yan's face suddenly changed. "Your Majesty." "The Qin army must have a great master, please move quickly." "I'm afraid the city's guards and the capital's army won't be able to hold out for long." "Otherwise, the Qin army will surely attack the palace." "Also, we should quickly ask Generals Lian Po and Li Mu to lead their troops back to support us." Guo Kai said immediately that he was also afraid at this moment. As a person who is greedy for money and afraid of death, in the current situation, saving his life is naturally the first priority.
"Yeah." "Retreat, retreat to the north." "Also send a message to General Lian Po and the other generals immediately, asking them to lead their troops back as soon as possible to provide support." Zhao Yan nodded repeatedly. This time! Zhao Yi, the chief minister of the Zhao State, immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you must not send a message to the two generals to return to the army." "Once the message is sent and the reinforcements are withdrawn, the defense line that the two generals have laid out for months will collapse, and the Qin army will surely march straight in. Our Great Zhao will perish!" Hear this. Zhao Yan's expression changed slightly. "Zhao Yi." "I think you want to kill the king." "How can we care so much in the current situation?" "The Qin army has already breached the capital. If you don't come back to help, how can the king escape from the Qin army?" "Are you going to watch the king fall into the hands of the Qin army?" "correct." "I understand." "You don't want the king to issue an edict to order the army to come back for help. Do you want to kill the king and then take the throne?" "Lian Po and Li Mu are very close to you." Guo Kai immediately retorted to Zhao Yi. Hear this. The hesitation on Zhao Yan's face disappeared in an instant. The look he gave Zhao Yi turned into one of disgust. This, perhaps, is the usefulness of a treacherous minister. Given Guo Kai's fear of death, it was really useful at the critical moment. Where there are treacherous ministers in the court, there will be a tyrant ruler. This has been true for all dynasties, both ancient and modern. "Guo Kai, everything I do is for the Great Zhao, so stop talking nonsense." Zhao Yi was also angered by Guo Kai's words. "Quickly send a message to the two generals and ask them to return to support the battle." "I will retreat to Daidi and defend it."
"We can't stay in Handan anymore," Zhao Yan said without hesitation. "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible." "If the defense line of Danyang City collapses, our Great Zhao will perish." "The Qin army's surprise attack on Handan must be to influence the two generals to fight against the enemy and make the king order us to return to support." Zhao Yi persuaded anxiously. now. He was really anxious. at this point. He sees things clearly. If he had not been sent to Qin as a hostage by his father, perhaps he would have been the one sitting on the throne. If so, he would definitely not be as stupid as Zhao Yan. "Since my elder brother cares so much about the Great Zhao, please do this for my safety." "I order you to lead the army of Handan to fight against the Qin army. You must defend the city as long as you can." "Until death in battle." "If you can't do that, don't talk about loyalty to me." Zhao Yan stared at Zhao Yi and shouted coldly. Done. Zhao Yan walked directly to the back hall, shouting, "My lords, retreat. Give up Handan and retreat to Dai." For a while. Inside Longtai Palace. The court officials of Zhao State fled in all directions like birds and beasts. Guo Kai, in particular, quickly caught up with Zhao Yan. In his opinion, staying with Zhao Yan was the safest. In Handan City! Long time no war! Countless Qin cavalry and soldiers rushed madly in the city, and their momentum was unstoppable. When a country's capital is captured by another country's army, the result for that country is obvious. …… Danyang City! "General." "Urgent news from Handan." "The king's edict."
A general came quickly to Lian Po with an urgent imperial edict in his hand. "Send it up." Inside the hall, Lian Po sat in the main seat and waved his hand. "promise." The general immediately presented the imperial edict to Lian Po. All the generals in the hall were watching. When Lian Po opened it, his old face suddenly changed color and he slammed the edict shut. "General, what does the king want?" asked a commander. "Your Majesty is concerned about whether our army's military supplies are complete." Lian Po said with a smile. "This time, the king issued an edict to mobilize the entire country to gather food and grass. Now our army has enough food and grass to last for three months." "good." "With the whole of Zhao united as one, we will surely be able to defeat Qin." "Even though the Qin army came with great force, they were stopped by our army this time." "In the past, the old general could even stop Bai Qi of Qin, not to mention Wang Jian of Qin. He was just a junior general under Bai Qi back then." "In this battle, our army will surely be able to defeat Qin..." A group of Zhao generals looked at Lian Po and said proudly. "My fellow generals, if the country is destroyed, the family will be destroyed." "In this battle, we must go all out." "They will all return to their respective armies to lead their troops." "The Qin army's Hangu camp is approaching, and a fierce battle will soon begin." Lian Po said in a deep voice. "I will obey the general's orders." The Zhao generals bowed and withdrew. As soon as Lian Po was the only one left in the hall, he opened the imperial edict in his hand again. There was only one sentence on it: "The Qin army has invaded Handan and has already broken through the city. I will retreat to Dai and order the two generals to lead the army to rescue without delay." "Your Majesty." "I beg your pardon, but I cannot obey your command." "This battle was originally a battle that gambled the fate of the country." "If we can't hold on, Great Zhao will perish."
"But if we defend to the death, we can also inflict heavy damage on the Qin army, let the Qin people know the bravery of the Zhao people, and let the Zhao people in the future know the loyalty and bravery of the great Zhao." "Once we retreat, our Zhao army of 600,000 will be destroyed." "For the sake of Great Zhao, this old minister has no choice but to fight to the death." Lian Po muttered to himself, his eyes filled with a determination to die. at the same time. The location of the Qin army camp. "Report." "I just received a message from General Huan Yi." "The Hangu camp has reached the south of the ancient city and is ready to attack the border troops led by Li Mu at any time." The commander of Wang Jian's personal guards reported. "It's been so long, the time has finally come." A smile appeared on Wang Jian's face. "The last general invites you to fight." Wang Ben, Ying Chengjiao and three main generals stood up immediately. "Count the time." "The special force that the king arranged should also be successful." “As long as Zhao Feng leads his troops to Handan, even if we don’t capture the city, just harassing it will make King Zhao afraid and ultimately affect the entire battle situation.” Wang Jian said with a smile, looking forward to it. Wang Jian naturally would not have thought of Zhao Feng's attack on Handan. After all, a country's capital is not so easy to capture. And there were not many siege weapons this time. It would be difficult to break the city without the help of a grandmaster. The decision is to carry out a strategy of harassment. Just as Wang Jian finished speaking. "General." "There's urgent news from the Fourth Main Camp." The commander of the personal guards took out a blood talisman. "It seems that we have reached Handan." Wang Jian smiled. The commander of the personal guards immediately grasped the blood talisman and probed with his spiritual sense. The blood talisman of the Great Qin.
It is not an ordinary communication jade talisman. The blood talisman communication can be transmitted almost instantly, while the communication jade talisman requires time and has no effect of recognizing the master. And in Daqin. The blood talisman for sending messages was issued by the imperial court. One blood talisman can only recognize one owner. When the owner dies, the blood talisman will break into pieces, thus preventing anyone from using the blood talisman to send messages and bring disaster to the Qin Dynasty. The communication jade talisman can be used by everyone. "General." "General Zhao Feng led his army to capture Handan City and is now engaged in a fierce battle." The commander of the guards said in shock. Hear this. "What?" A look of shock flashed across Wang Jian's face. "How did he do it?" "Handan is the capital of Zhao State. The city defense is strong and the formation is solid. Even if I take action, it will be difficult to break it." "How can Zhao Feng break the city?" Wang Jian looked shocked. …… (End of this chapter)
