"The city gates have been breached!"
"South Korea's demise is imminent!"
"The credit for destroying a nation will be mine!"
The roars soared into the sky as the Qin army charged into the city gate like madmen. Their frenzied ferocity overwhelmed the Han crossbowmen.
In no time at all, the ten thousand crossbowmen were killed.
Thus, the garrison in Xinzheng found themselves in an awkward situation where they could not attend to both ends.
With the city gates breached, defenses had to be strengthened, while Qin soldiers were continuously surging up the city walls using ladders.
This situation filled the King of Han with despair. He drew his sword and roared, "Follow me to kill the enemy!"
He had already resolved to die!
Prince An's eyes were filled with fear as he looked at the fierce Qin army, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.
"My son, do not be afraid. I will cover your retreat. Now, run for your life!"
King Han turned to look at Prince An, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes, and then sighed and murmured, "Fei'er...you have great talent. If the King of Qin wants to recruit you...just accept it."
At this moment, he lost his kingly aura and instead showed a fatherly tenderness, deeply worried about the situation of his two sons.
"No!"
Gongzi An shook his head, forcing a defiant expression, and said, "If Father doesn't leave, I won't leave either. I'll fight to the death with you!"
After saying that, he took a deep breath, slowly drew the sword from his waist, and his eyes instantly turned ruthless.
If there's no way out, then let's fight to the death!
When a person is driven to the brink of despair, they will instantly abandon all negative interests and only retain ruthlessness, just like Gongzi An now.
"No!"
The King of Han's eyes suddenly turned serious, and he shouted sternly, "The state of Han has perished in my hands, and I have already failed my ancestors. I must not let the lineage die out!"
"Do you... intend to let your father die with his eyes wide open in disgrace?!"
At this point, King Han stepped forward to Prince An, patted him on the shoulder, and said with emotion, "I am very pleased with my son, but it would be a shame for him to die here."
"Promise me, Father, that you will find a place to settle down, get married, have children, and live as an ordinary citizen. There's nothing wrong with that."
"I see that the Qin state has already gained considerable power; let us not allow hatred to fill the rest of our lives!"
As he spoke, the King of Han turned to his guards on either side and said sternly, "You all, quickly escort the young master away. Consider it... my... entrustment."
His personal guards, all loyal to him and ready to die for him, said in unison upon seeing his actions, "We will obey the king's orders. If anything happens... we will fight to the death!"
Having said that, he ignored Gongzi An's struggles and simply lifted him up and left.
The King of Han watched his son leave, and once he could no longer see him, he felt no more attachment, and his eyes turned fierce. "Qin army, come and fight!"
With a loud roar, he strode forward and killed a Qin soldier with a single sword thrust.
As the ruler of a country, swordsmanship is one of the basic courses that he must learn from childhood. His swordsmanship is so fierce and unparalleled that ordinary soldiers simply cannot withstand it.
"That was great! Hahaha, let's do it again!"
King Han laughed loudly, which startled the Han soldiers behind him, who quickly formed a battle formation and followed him to fight the enemy.
"presumptuous!"
Just then, Erniu led his men to storm the city wall, intending to help the Qin army on the ladders. He saw the King of Han, dressed in magnificent armor, killing Qin soldiers. Erniu roared and charged straight at the King of Han with his sword.
"Good timing!"
The King of Han showed no fear, turned around and thrust his sword straight at Erniu's heart.
"Heh, that's nonsense!"
Erniu smiled confidently, and slashed at the King of Han's sword at an extremely tricky angle with his battle sword.
"bite!"
Swords clashed, sparks flew!
The King of Han's hand was split open, and his entire arm was slightly numb from the shock. He was filled with horror.
Upon closer inspection, Erniu's sword was completely undamaged, and his heart was immediately filled with shock.
"This soldier..."
The sword in his hand was no ordinary weapon; it was meticulously crafted by top Korean artisans using the finest materials, making it more than capable of cutting down people.
Unexpectedly, they failed to damage Erniu's weapon in the slightest!
"King Han, is that right?!"
Erniu revealed a sneer, "Your Korean weapons are famous, but the sword in my hand was forged using techniques provided by the wicked commander, and it is no less powerful than your precious sword."
King Han was stunned upon hearing this. How long ago was it that Qin had been spending huge sums of money to buy weapons from Han, or trying to recruit artisans, but to no avail?
Now... such skills have actually been acquired?
"Enough talk, let's get this fight started!"
Erniu leaped high into the air, his gleaming sword hurtling towards the head of the King of Han. "You frog in a well, how could you possibly know the strength of my Qin state today?!"
"bite!"
Clang!
When the King of Han came to his senses, it was too late to dodge. He could only raise his sword above his head to barely block the blow, but the powerful and heavy sword cut his sword in two.
"Han Jian...it's broken!!"
The King of Han seemed somewhat lost and dejected. It turned out that... without realizing it, the Qin state had become so powerful.
"Bang!"
Erniu kicked Han Wang hard in the chest, knocking him to the ground.
With a long sword held to his neck, Erniu revealed a bright smile and roared, "King Han has been captured, why don't you surrender?"
"Your Majesty..."
Exclamations erupted instantly.
A resolute glint flashed in the King of Han's eyes as he roared, "You need not concern yourselves with me! Continue slaughtering the Qin soldiers; that will be your farewell gift to me!"
Erniu knew something was wrong and immediately tried to pull back his sword.
But he was a step too slow for the King of Han. He suddenly exerted his strength and crashed into the sword. The sword slashed open his neck, leaving a horrific wound, and bright red blood gushed out like a geyser.
"The king...is he dead?"
"Your Majesty, you have fallen in battle!"
“We respectfully bid farewell to Your Majesty, and are willing to fight to the death against the Qin army. We will use our bones to send Your Majesty off, and after death we will continue to serve Your Majesty.”
The Han King's guards were extremely loyal. After a roar, they turned and charged straight at the Han army, not even bothering to dodge, in order to kill as many Qin soldiers as possible.
"A final struggle. Since you are so loyal, I will send you down to join King Han."
The moment Erniu finished speaking, the hundreds of Black Dragon Armored Soldiers following behind him immediately charged towards the Han King's Imperial Guards.
In no time at all, these Imperial Guards were slaughtered by the Black Dragon Armored Army.
"Do you still wish to fight to the death?!"
Erniu shouted loudly. At this moment... he felt that he had become a villain, with a kind of overwhelming power over heaven and earth.
"You're putting on an act, kid?!"
Just then, the wicked man, along with Li Balang and Zhang Erhe, climbed the city wall and caught a glimpse of Erniu's impressive display of arrogance.
"Well...."
Erniu instantly snapped out of his pretentious act and chuckled, "Big brother...uh...Commander...me..."
He stammered for a long time, but he didn't dare to say that the King of Han had died in battle.
"Alright, so be it. Do you think I'm deaf?!" The wicked man smiled indifferently, his words tinged with sarcasm.
Erniu was shouting loudly just now; even a deaf person could hear him. What is he trying to hide now?
