"Kill them!!"
"The glory of conquering a nation is right before our eyes!!"
"Brothers, charge! Anyone who dares to hold the whole unit back, I'll beat you to death when we get back!"
The Qin army, like wolves and tigers, launched a fierce attack on Xinzheng, charging forward without ever stopping despite the rain of arrows.
Seeing this, the wicked man laughed loudly, "Gentlemen, the opportunity to be recorded in the county annals and have your family genealogy dedicate a page to you is right in front of you, so you must cherish this opportunity!"
"Included in the county annals?"
"A separate family genealogy?"
When the wicked man's loud voice rang out, the soldiers who were charging forward were stunned for a moment, and then roared wildly.
"Damn it, let me charge first!"
"Aaaaaah, I don't care anymore, even if I'm riddled with bullets today, I'm going to give it my all!"
"......."
The soldiers' eyes were bloodshot as they roared and charged toward Xinzheng City. Their hysterical frenzy sent shivers down the spines of the Han soldiers inside the city, and their morale plummeted to rock bottom.
"Okay, okay!"
Li Balang looked on with admiration, "I've learned another trick from the commander-in-chief. I've never seen anyone motivate the army like this before."
"Commander, your move was brilliant! It's made the soldiers all incredibly energetic!" Zhang Erhe exclaimed in admiration.
The wicked man smiled slightly, a deep glint in his eyes. "Military merits may influence human judgment, but absolutely no one can resist such temptation, even at the cost of death."
"Commander, we have learned a great deal!" The generals quickly bowed and saluted, their respect for their commander growing even stronger.
The wicked man nodded and laughed, his gaze fixed on the distant city of Xinzheng, a cold glint in his eyes. "Xinzheng is the final step in destroying Han. You all stay here and command, I, the commander, will personally break down the gates of Xinzheng."
"Yes, sir!"
The generals, their faces burning with enthusiasm, solemnly agreed.
The wicked man rode his horse at breakneck speed, heading straight for the gates of Xinzheng. As he got closer, many arrows came flying at him, but he brushed them aside as if they were flies.
The scene was incredibly cool, and it also made the King of Han extremely resentful!
"Damn thief, it must be that wicked man!" King Han cursed, and shouted for his soldiers to fire arrows at the wicked man.
"Nonsense!"
The warhorse did not slow down, and the wicked man used his spear to deflect all the incoming arrows, which enraged the King of Han.
In the blink of an eye, the wicked man had arrived at the city gate tower.
"Move the battering ram! I'll break through that turtle shell!"
Looking at the heavy and tall city gate, the wicked man curled up a disdainful smile.
No matter how prestigious Xinzheng is as a royal city, unless your city gates are made of finely tempered steel, they simply cannot withstand the impact of the combined force of the battering ram.
The iconic scene is playing out again!
The wicked man's feet slammed into the battering ram, and the sound of the ram hitting the gates of Xinzheng was like a rhythmic percussion piece.
For some reason, the soldiers were captivated by the music played by the impact, feeling their blood boil and their strength boundless.
"Oh?!"
"Let's go back and work on some background music so we can provide soundtracks for the soldiers next time we go to war!"
The wicked man noticed the change in the soldiers, and his eyes lit up instantly.
Inside the city.
"Your Majesty, the city gates are about to collapse!"
Upon hearing the soldier's words, King Han's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed urgently, "Xinzheng is the capital, and its city gates are thick and tall. You're saying it can't hold out?!"
The soldier, pale-faced, swallowed hard and hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, you are unaware of the truth. We don't know what methods the Qin army used, but their ramming of the city gate was incredibly powerful and relentless... and the bolts are now deformed."
"The most important thing is the city gate hinges..."
King Han's eyes widened in fury, his anger burning. He strode to the edge of the battlements, looking down at the surging Qin army below, his heart filled with resentment and rage.
Once the city gates are breached, the state of Korea will be completely destroyed!
"Pass down the order: all crossbowmen assemble inside the city gate. If the gate is breached... fire arrows immediately!" King Han's voice trembled slightly, but it was filled with unwavering resolve.
The wicked man below the city walls seemed to sense the King of Han's wrath. He looked up at the city walls, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes. He brandished his spear and shouted, "Soldiers, the city gates are about to collapse! Give it your all!"
The Qin army's offensive intensified, and the sound of battering rams striking the city gates was as awe-inspiring as war drums.
Under the orders of the King of Han, the Han soldiers in the city gathered on the main street, their crossbows aimed at the city gate.
Anyone who dares to show their face will be shot into a pincushion!
"Commander, these Korean weapons are indeed as good as their reputation. Even the gates of Daliang are not this sturdy!" Dong Yi, who was following closely beside the evil man, said with some emotion.
Sweat beaded on the wicked man's forehead; even he was exhausted from such intense impacts. A glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. "Pass down the order: under no circumstances should they engage in indiscriminate killing within the city, lest they accidentally kill Han's craftsmen!"
He hadn't forgotten the Korean craftsmen; if he could acquire them, Qin's casting capabilities would surely advance by leaps and bounds.
The Qin army's morale soared, and they surged up the siege ladders like a tidal wave, while the battering rams pounded even more fiercely. The Han soldiers on the city walls fought desperately, but faced with such a ferocious offensive, their hope gradually faded.
"Your Majesty, the Qin army's offensive is too fierce; I'm afraid we can't hold out!" A Han soldier reported to the King of Han with a look of fear on his face.
The King of Han clenched his fists, a flicker of despair in his eyes. He knew that the fall of Xinzheng meant the destruction of the state of Han, but he was unwilling to give up.
"Pass down the order: all soldiers, live or die with the city!" King Han's voice was filled with sorrow and determination.
Outside the city, seeing that the time was ripe, the wicked man raised his spear high and shouted, "Qin soldiers, follow me to break through the gates of Xinzheng! The victory of destroying Han is today!"
Then, with a powerful kick, it slammed into the back of the battering ram.
The Qin army surged toward the city gate like a flood bursting its banks. The sound of battering rams clashing and the shouts of the soldiers mingled together, creating a heart-stirring war song.
"Bang!!"
"boom!!"
The city gates of Xinzheng finally collapsed under the fierce attack of the Qin army, and the Qin army, which had been waiting for a long time, immediately poured into the city like a tide.
"ah!!"
"shield!!"
"Raise your shields! There are crossbowmen!"
The Qin soldiers who squeezed into the city first were riddled with bullets. The Qin soldiers at the rear saw this and quickly shouted warnings, stepping aside to make way for the shield bearers.
The shield bearers, holding their large bronze shields, stood at the forefront and withstood the second wave of arrows. The sound of the crossbow bolts striking the bronze shields was exceptionally crisp and pleasant.
Thus, with the shield bearers clearing the way, the Han soldiers' crossbows became useless.
Taking advantage of the situation, the Qin army rushed into the city and headed straight for the crossbowmen.
Left with no other option, the crossbowmen had to discard their crossbow bolts and draw their swords to engage in close-quarters combat with the Qin soldiers.
King Han stood atop the city wall, watching the Qin army charge into the city like wolves and tigers, his face filled with helplessness and sorrow.
He knew that the end of South Korea had come!
The fall of the nation... is imminent.
