Chapter 108 Conquer! It’s Zhao Feng’s plan!
"Your Majesty."
"I am stronger than my brothers and have already entered the sixth level of the acquired realm." Zhang Han replied calmly.
Compared to others, with the same resources and the same training time, Zhang Han is one level stronger.
Perhaps this is the root of martial arts.
"The skills you are learning are internal skills, which focus on cultivating internal strength. With the blessing of internal strength, you can gain tremendous strength, or you can burst out with strong power in an instant."
“But power is power.”
“It requires the use of methods, not brute force.”
"The war is coming, I will teach you a martial art today." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
Hear the sound.
Several people immediately showed anticipation on their faces: "Thank you, Master."
Zhao Feng didn't say any nonsense.
Turn around.
He looked at the bluestone sculptures piled up several feet away.
Then he clenched his right hand and clenched his fist, and invisible true energy was instantly added to his fist.
A punch was thrown.
"Exploding Fist."
Zhao Feng shouted.
A punch was thrown out into the air with great force.
With a loud bang.
The bluestone sculpture was instantly shattered by the force of the punch.
See this scene.
Zhang Han and the other four all had looks of awe on their faces. This kind of power was simply beyond their reach.
After one strike.
Zhao Feng turned around and looked at the five people.
"This martial art is called Explosive Fist, a mid-grade yellow-level martial art. Maybe the name doesn't sound very nice, but after practicing it to master it, this martial art can gather all the strength in the body at one point and burst out several times the power. With the blessing of internal force, it can also burst out several times the internal force in an instant." Zhao Feng said.
He opened the power panel and passed this martial art to five people.
Just a moment.
A new martial art immediately appeared in the consciousness of the five people.
"Thank you, Lord, for your help."
Zhang Han and his four companions bowed excitedly.
It was at this time.
Snap.
A voice suddenly came from one side of the military council hall.
"who?"
Zhang Han's expression darkened and he immediately shouted towards the direction where the voice came from.
The guards on duty here also gathered together immediately.
Zhao Feng was relatively calm, with a hint of smile on his face. With his mental strength having already exceeded two thousand, how could he not detect the person in the dark?
"No, it's me."
Tu Sui's voice was heard, and then he walked out quickly with a look of shock on his face.
Obviously.
Just now, Zhao Feng destroyed the stone sculpture with a strike from mid-air, and Tu Sui also saw it.
This is simply beyond human power.
"General Tu Sui?"
Zhang Han and his companions looked at Tu Sui and became alert.
The power of martial arts is the master's secret, and only the master's confidants can practice it.
But now it was seen by an outsider.
"I knew you would come." Zhao Feng looked at Tu Sui and spoke slowly.
Today, on the platform, Zhao Feng explicitly told Zhang Han to come to the military meeting hall in the evening, and Tu Sui naturally heard it.
If Tu Sui was smart, he would naturally know that Zhao Feng did it on purpose.
Zhao Feng also wanted to recruit him under his command. Compared with Chen Tao, Zhao Tuo and others, after several months of getting along with each other, Zhao Feng had a very thorough understanding of him. He was a man who valued friendship and had a solid foundation in martial arts.
Tu Sui looked on in shock.
"What do you think?" Zhao Feng smiled slightly.
After Tu Sui calmed down, he knelt down in front of Zhao Feng and said solemnly, "Tu Sui is willing to serve under the general. I beg you to accept me."
He was a smart man, so he naturally understood what Zhao Feng meant immediately.
"I accept your offer." Zhao Feng replied seriously.
Then.
I immediately looked at Tu Sui’s loyalty value, which was 78 points.
It can be considered loyal. It seems that the life-saving grace has a great impact on Tu Sui.
"From today on, you are mine."
"Same as Zhang Han and his men."
Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, my lord." Tu Sui bowed immediately.
"What you just saw is called martial arts. After practicing it, you can possess power that ordinary people can hardly imagine." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
"My Lord."
"Could this be the power of an immortal?" Tu Sui's eyes were filled with awe.
In front of you.
Zhao Feng's figure suddenly grew larger in his heart. To him, the scene of rocks shattering in the air just now overturned Tu Sui's perception of the world.
"You can think so." Zhao Feng smiled slightly.
"I beg my lord to grant me merit. I am willing to swear allegiance to you until death." Tu Sui said respectfully.
"Since I have accepted you, I naturally want to pass on my skills to you. But after you join my team, you must first make one thing clear: from now on, your life belongs to me."
"Even when facing Wang Quan, I am before Wang Quan. Do you understand?" Zhao Feng stared at Tu Sui, closely watching his expression.
"I swear to obey you until death." Tu Sui kowtowed heavily.
He naturally understood that this was a great opportunity and if he missed it, he would never have it again.
"Okay." Zhao Feng nodded, and without hesitation, he passed the intermediate internal energy level to Tu Sui.
When a new martial arts technique suddenly appeared in his mind, without any contact, Tu Sui looked at Zhao Feng with more awe.
"As for the martial arts, no one knows about it except my close confidants. No one is allowed to leak it without my order." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
"I understand." Tu Sui nodded heavily. At this moment, he was shocked.
"Zhang Han." Zhao Feng said.
"Please give your orders, my lord." Zhang Han said immediately.
"There is a Hongze Ferry about fifty miles north of Weicheng. Have you heard of it?" Zhao Feng asked.
“Yes.”
Zhang Han nodded, and then said: "This ferry has been abandoned. The water here is turbulent. Many merchants have lost their lives here. Therefore, the ferry was moved to Weicheng and Beiweicheng in the territory of Wei State."
"Build boats and rafts in secret. The more the better. Only you know about this. Don't tell anyone else."
"I will issue an order for you to lead the army to patrol the vicinity of Weicheng. That will be your chance." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
"My Lord."
"Are you planning to build a boat to cross the river and attack Wei territory?" Zhang Han was not stupid. He immediately thought of what Zhao Feng was thinking.
"Are we only allowed to passively defend?"
"This defensive contribution is too small. Since there will be opportunities in the future, why shouldn't I take a chance?" Zhao Feng smiled faintly, with no concealment of ambition in his eyes.
Hear what Zhao Feng said.
All of his trusted generals had a look of fantasy on their faces.
Everyone thought of the meaning behind Zhao Feng’s words.
Invade Wei?
Greater military exploits.
"In addition to letting me take charge of the Weicheng army, the King of Qin also issued an edict that stated that as long as I could defend Weicheng, I would be the commander-in-chief."
"If I can achieve greater military merits, wouldn't I have a chance to become the commander-in-chief?" Zhao Feng smiled.
In front of his confidants, Zhao Feng naturally did not hide his ambition for the position of general.
"I swear to follow my master till death."
The generals responded immediately.
"Brother Wei."
"And Zhuang Wei, you just represented the generals."
"You should arrange your old brothers to various military command positions. Those who are military marquises should be promoted to deputy captains. Try your best to arrange people under your command who are trustworthy to us."
"certainly."
"Everything will be based on military merit. This way, even if Chen Tao and the others want to say something, they will have no reason to argue." Zhao Feng said with a smile.
Since the King of Qin let him take charge of the military power, Zhao Feng naturally had to make some arrangements for the stability of Weicheng. Zhao Feng was not afraid at all that Chen Tao would report him.
Anyway, as long as he is under his command, Zhao Feng will not let him get ahead.
He is a general now and will continue to be a general in the future. If he dares to confront Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng will let him know what power is.
and.
This is also the method Chen Tao has used before, using his confidants, and Zhao Feng can also be used.
"My Lord is wise."
The generals immediately agreed.
"War will surely break out during these two months."
"Of course, you should also improve your strength."
"The situation on the battlefield is complicated. Even with my strength, there is no way I can survive on the battlefield. But the more strength you have, the more chances you have of survival." Zhao Feng reminded the generals again.
"I understand, your subordinates." The generals said immediately.
"And Tu Sui."
"Here is a bone-refining powder. Put hot water in a bathtub, pour the bone-refining powder into it, and then soak your whole body. It can help you get started with martial arts, strengthen your muscles and bones, and increase your strength."
"Of course this process will be painful. After you have absorbed all the medicinal power, your path of martial arts will be smoother." Zhao Feng waved his hand.
A large bag of medicine fell in front of Tu Sui.
"Thank you, Lord, for your gift." Tu Sui took it immediately.
"Okay, you all can go down." Zhao Feng nodded.
…
Qin State, Xianyang! In the court hall.
Yan Dan, who had left angrily in the past, came back more than a month later, but he seemed much more stable at this moment, obviously because he was scolded by his father after returning to Yan State.
Looking at Ying Zheng who was in a high position, Yan Dan had a deep hatred hidden in his eyes, but he did not show it at this moment.
"Zhao is rampant. It has captured dozens of cities in Yan and hundreds of thousands of Yan people have been slaughtered by Zhao's army. Please consider the good relationship between Yan and Qin and ask the King of Qin to send troops to help."
"The Yan Kingdom is willing to pay 200,000 gold and 500,000 dan of grain and fodder as funds for the Qin army to set out."
"If you succeed in repelling Zhao, my Yan State is willing to pay 100,000 gold as tribute to Qin."
Yan Dan held the letter with the royal seal in his hand and spoke in a very low voice.
Three hundred thousand gold and five hundred thousand dan of grain and grass, this is already most of the national strength of his Yan State, and the price is huge.
If the State of Yan was not in danger now, the King of Yan would not have cut off his own flesh in this way.
Hearing what Yan Dan said.
Ying Zheng didn't show much emotion and just waved his hand.
Zhao Gao, who was serving on the side, immediately walked quickly into the hall, took the letter from Yan Dan, turned around quickly and presented it to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng picked up the letter and saw that it accurately described the marching posture described by Yan Dan, as well as the tribute after the retreat from Zhao, and it was also stamped with the royal seal.
This can serve as evidence.
If Yan dares not to give it in the future, Qin can send troops with this letter.
certainly.
These gifts were what Ying Zheng had in mind, they could reduce the loss of Qin's national strength. If Yan State did not give them, Qin would have to wait a long time before mobilizing troops. If Yan State gave them, Qin could mobilize troops.
The opportunity to destroy Zhao cannot be missed, and Qin will never let it go.
"The gift given by the King of Yan is indeed not small, but there is an alliance between my Great Qin and the State of Zhao, which was signed by me and the King of Zhao in Xianyang. If the alliance is torn up, how can I face the world?" Ying Zheng said with difficulty.
Hear this.
Yan Dan was furious, but he was helpless at the moment. He had no way to change anything. He could only say, "Zhao State has raised an unjust army, and all the countries in the world should punish it together. As long as the King of Qin is willing to send troops, our Yan State is willing to pay 5,000 war horses in addition to these state gifts. In addition, our Yan State will tell all the countries in the world that Zhao State is unjust, and that the Qin State sent troops to save Yan State. All the bad reputation should be borne by Zhao State."
"Please ask the King of Qin to send troops to rescue our Yan State."
"Yan is grateful."
Yan Dan knelt down and pleaded with tears in his eyes.
Perhaps he was resentful of Ying Zheng for not saving him, but in order to save the State of Yan, Yan Dan completely gave up his status as a prince.
"Do you have any ideas?"
Ying Zheng did not agree immediately, but looked at the civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty in the court.
"I believe that Zhao raised an unjust army, and the whole world should punish it. Although Great Qin has signed an alliance with Zhao, Great Qin will never abide by such an unjust alliance."
"Since Yan State is begging us so much, how can our Great Qin not help us?"
"I propose to send troops to attack Zhao and rescue Yan." Li Si stood up and said loudly.
"I second the motion."
"The State of Zhao is unjust, and our Great Qin should attack it." Han Fei also stood up.
"I second the motion."
"Yan is in national disaster. How can we, the Great Qin, sit idly by and watch? We should send troops to attack it."
One after another, voices of agreement were heard.
In this scene, every minister of the Qin State was filled with righteous indignation because Zhao State had launched an unjust attack on Yan State. This was completely different from the situation when Yan Dan came to Qin State.
Although there were many factions in the Qin court, they were not stupid and naturally understood what Ying Zheng was thinking.
Now that Yan has offered so many benefits, and Qin is indeed determined to destroy Zhao, it will give Qin a legitimate reason to attack Zhao, and it can also obtain the funds that Yan has paid for the Qin army to march, thus killing two birds with one stone.
Listening to the Qin ministers in the court speaking for the State of Yan.
Yan Dan also had a happy look on his face. He had no idea that he had fallen into Qin's trap.
If he was smarter and knew the generals of the Qin Dynasty, he would have seen that none of the three generals were present in the Qin Dynasty's court.
If there was no large-scale military mobilization, how could the three generals be absent from the court?
"What you say makes sense."
At this time.
Ying Zheng also spoke.
The voices of agreement in the court also followed suit.
Yan Dan also looked at Ying Zheng earnestly.
"King's appearance."
"Draft a royal decree and announce it to the world."
"Zhao is unjust and has launched an unjust war to attack Yan. Now Yan is asking for help from our Great Qin. Our Great Qin must not move."
"Send the letter to Zhao State and order it to immediately stop attacking Yan State. If Zhao State does not stop its troops, our Great Qin State will send troops to attack Zhao State and rescue Yan State." Ying Zheng said in a majestic voice.
Yan Dan was also excited: "The King of Qin is wise."
"Your Majesty is wise." All the civil and military officials in the court shouted.
…
Zhao State, Handan.
Longtai Palace.
With a snap.
Zhao Yan directly threw a letter from the State of Qin in the court.
"Damn Ying Zheng, who does he think he is? How dare he order me to withdraw my troops from the State of Yan."
"Asshole."
Zhao Yan cursed angrily.
The Zhao officials in the court bowed one after another and dared not say much.
"Your Majesty."
"Ying Zheng's move must be a threat to our Great Zhao. I don't think there is any need to be afraid."
"We should increase our military forces to destroy Yan. Once Yan is destroyed, our great Zhao will become even stronger under the command of the king." Guo Kai spoke immediately, flattering him in a fawning manner.
"Prime Minister Guo is thinking too well."
"Now that Yan has asked Qin for help, the world is accusing Zhao of raising an unjust army. This move by Ying Zheng must be to build momentum for an attack on Zhao."
"As long as our Great Zhao does not withdraw its troops from the State of Yan, Qin will have a legitimate reason to attack."
"I think we should mobilize a large army to protect the border and guard against the Qin State." Zhao Yi stood up and said.
Zhao Yan glanced at him and said coldly: "Ying Zheng!!"
"Will I be afraid of him?"
"Isn't Lian Po already stationed at the border? With him here, there's no need to worry about the border."
"Moreover, our Great Zhao and Wei are allies. I have already contacted Lord Xinling. If Qin really dares to attack our Great Zhao, Lord Xinling will lead his troops to attack Han. Han is already in internal turmoil. I will then wait and see how Qin will attack our Great Zhao." Zhao Yan shouted coldly.
He was not afraid of Ying Zheng or the Qin State at all.
Or say.
In Zhao Yan's view, he once trampled on Ying Zheng and bullied him when he was a child, and he can do the same now.
He, Ying Zheng, was able to destroy Han, and he, Zhao Yan, was also able to destroy Yan. His State of Zhao would never be defeated by the State of Qin.
This is a kind of arrogance.
"Your Majesty is wise."
"Our Great Zhao will surely unify the world under the leadership of the king." Guo Kai immediately flattered him.
"Your Majesty."
"It is not advisable to rely on the State of Wei. I think we should send more troops to garrison the border so as to ensure the stability of our great Zhao." Zhao Yi continued.
only.
His words still sounded very harsh to Zhao Yan's ears.
"Prime Minister."
"Pass on my edict and report the news of Qin to Lord Xinling."
"Let Xinling Jun get ready."
"At the same time, send an imperial edict to General Pang Nuan, asking him to speed up the march and destroy the State of Yan as quickly as possible." Zhao Yan said in a deep voice.
He didn't listen to Zhao Yi's words at all.
"I obey the order." Guo Kai immediately accepted the order.
…
Wei State!
"Your Majesty."
"I just received news from the State of Zhao. The King of Qin sent a letter threatening the King of Zhao to withdraw his troops, and there are signs that Qin is mobilizing troops." Wei Bo reported excitedly.
"This day has finally come."
"When Zhao mobilized its troops, I knew that Qin would never let go of this opportunity. After all, this is the best chance for the King of Qin to destroy Zhao." Wei Wuji sighed, without much joy on his face.
"Your Majesty."
"You tried to persuade the King of Zhao, but he didn't listen. Now that Qin is attacking, it is only right for Wei to fulfill the alliance and send troops to attack Qin."
"This is an opportunity for our Great Wei. The Han territory occupied by Qin is unstable. I don't know how many Han nobles want to overthrow Qin's rule. As long as our Great Wei sends troops, it will surely achieve miraculous results. Maybe we can incorporate Han into our Great Wei territory."
"As long as we annex the Han territory, our Great Wei will surely be able to regain its former strength." Wei Bo said with a dreamy look on his face.
Seeing his nephew, whom he regarded as his successor, say such words, Wei Wuji sighed in his heart: "Do you think Qin is so easy to deal with?"
"Do you think Qin doesn't know that Wei and Zhao are allies? Do you think the King of Qin will not make any preparations after sending this threatening letter?"
"I can predict that Weicheng must be guarded by a large army, so it won't be easy to break through."
Wei Bo disagreed: "Your Majesty may be right, but this is also the best opportunity for our Great Wei."
"It may be an opportunity, but now we have no choice but to mobilize our troops."
"Pass on my command."
"I have dispatched 150,000 troops to the border and press towards the Wei River. As soon as Qin launches an attack on Zhao, my great Wei will mobilize immediately." Wei Wuji sighed, but his eyes became firm.
"I obey your command." Wei Bo nodded immediately.
When he turned around and was about to pass on the message, he suddenly turned back and said, "Uncle, I promised you that I would cut off Zhao Feng's head and give it to you. In this battle, I will definitely not let you down."
"I will prove to you that I am capable of protecting the Wei Dynasty."
Wei Wuji nodded: "Well, I'll wait and see."
immediately.
Wei Bo walked quickly out of the hall.
"Chance, opportunity."
"This is a battle in which my country's fate is at stake."
"150,000 elite troops, half of the national strength of Wei, I hope to be able to take over Han as I wish."
"In this way, the fortune of our Great Wei can continue." Wei Wuji thought to himself.
How could he not know the opportunity that his nephew was talking about?
But this opportunity was too difficult to come by. Having lived for so many years, he had witnessed with his own eyes how the Qin State gradually became stronger and how it gradually became the powerful country that dominates the world today.
Compared with Qin.
His Wei State had lost too many opportunities and too many capable ministers. This was the last time, and it was also a gamble on the fate of the country.
Once Qin succeeds in its attack on Zhao, Wei will be unable to support itself and will be in danger.
Moreover, there had been no war between Qin and Wei. As long as he attacked Qin this time, the consequence would be that Qin would seize the opportunity to attack him. If Qin raised an army to attack him in the future, it would have a legitimate reason, and Wei would be in danger. Therefore, he was gambling on the fate of his country.
Weicheng!
A dozen Qin scouts rode their horses quickly through the city and galloped towards the military camp.
In front of the Military Council Hall.
"Report."
"To the north of Weicheng, we have discovered traces of a large number of Wei troops. The vanguard of the Wei troops has already entered the territory of our Great Qin and is now heading towards Weicheng."
"Please give instructions, General Zhao."
The scout leader bowed and reported to Zhao Feng.
Hear the sound.
The expressions of the generals in the hall changed and they all looked at Zhao Feng.
"As expected of Wei Wuji."
"They took a detour of more than ten miles instead of taking the water route, fearing that our army would attack them halfway."
"But I never thought of defending the Wei River from the beginning." Zhao Feng smiled faintly and was not panicked at all.
The Wei River is located on a plain. There is no strategic location to defend except the area facing the river. Moreover, the Wei River is not endless. It only takes a detour of more than ten miles to land in the Wei State border.
"How many Wei troops have the scouts detected?" Zhao Feng looked at the scout leader in front of him.
"Return to the General."
"The number of Wei troops is unclear, but the banners are continuous, and the battle formation is definitely no less than 100,000."
"And the king's flag was seen among the Wei army's vanguard." The scout leader replied immediately.
"King's flag?"
Chen Tao's face changed, and he said hurriedly: "There is only one person in Wei who can carry the king's flag to go to war, and that person is Wei Wuji. He is very capable of commanding troops and is known as the cornerstone of Wei. If he attacks, it will be impossible for me to defend with my 50,000 elite soldiers and 50,000 so-called prisoners."
Hearing this.
Zhao Feng frowned and said, "You admit defeat before the battle even begins. You are a really good general. If the general hears you say this, I'm afraid he will directly blame you severely."
Chen Tao's face changed, and he bowed hastily: "I'm sorry for what I said."
"General."
"What about Wei Wuji?"
"With the general here, why should we be afraid of him?"
"I am willing to lead the troops to guard the city gate and never let the Wei army break into the city." Zhang Han stood up and said loudly.
"I will fight you."
Tu Sui and several generals including Wei Quan all stood up.
Each one carries a kind of fearlessness.
"They underestimated Wei Wuji." Chen Tao and Zhao Tuo looked at each other with the same look.
"Zhang Han, listen to my orders." Zhao Feng said immediately.
"I am here." Zhang Han immediately stood up.
"When the Wei army arrives, I will order you to lead the 10,000-general battalion to guard the city gate as the first battalion defending the city."
"I will obey your orders."
"Tu Sui, Zhuang Wei, Liu Wang, Luo Hua, you wait for orders at the gate of the city. If there are serious casualties, you will take turns to cover."
"As for Chen Tao and Zhao Tuo, you lead your troops to stand by in the city and obey my orders at any time." Zhao Feng said majestically.
"I will obey your orders."
All the generals replied in unison.
"alright."
"Prepare the army for war, seal off the city, and no one is allowed to enter or leave until the war is over."
"During the war, everything in the city will be governed by military law."
"I will personally supervise the battle at the city gate."
"Those who disobey orders from above will be executed."
"Anyone who leaves his post without permission will be executed."
"Those who collaborate with the enemy and betray their country will have their entire clan exterminated." Zhao Feng shouted again.
"Yes." The generals replied in unison.
"Go ahead."
Zhao Feng waved his hand.
All the generals retreated.
The entire Weicheng was under complete martial law at this moment.
Five days ago, Zhao Feng received a military report from the Lantian camp. The King of Qin issued an edict, ordering General Wang Jian to lead an army of 200,000 troops to the east to attack the State of Zhao. At the same time, General Meng Wu of the Northern Frontier camp led an army of 100,000 troops to attack the Dai area of the Zhao State.
Three hundred thousand elite Qin soldiers set out on the expedition.
After receiving the news, Zhao Feng was already prepared.
at the same time.
Above the Wei River.
Originally it was where the Qin Dynasty patrolled its borders.
Wei Wuji's carriage has arrived here.
"Your Majesty."
"This Zhao Feng is really just a name. Although our army did not cross the Wei River, he did not arrange any defense. He is really incompetent."
Wei Bo said sarcastically while riding his horse.
"What if he sees that I have no intention of crossing the Weishui River?" Wei Wuji said calmly.
"Impossible?" Wei Bo looked surprised.
"If he really saw through the fact that I would not cross the Weishui River, then Zhao Feng would be a bit scary." Wei Wuji said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty."
"I think you overestimate Zhao Feng."
"Weicheng is small, and according to spies, although there are 100,000 Qin troops in the city, 50,000 of them are surrendered Han soldiers. If we use surrendered soldiers to guard the city, the Qin army will surely mutiny."
"Give me ten days, I will capture Weicheng, behead Zhao Feng and present his head to Your Majesty." Wei Bo said confidently.
"Yes." Wei Wuji nodded. What Wei Bo said was indeed reasonable: "Speed is of the essence in war. Let's march forward and start attacking Weicheng tomorrow."
"Yes." Wei Bo accepted the order immediately.
Wei Wuji looked at the turbulent Wei River, with a thoughtful expression on his old face.
But in the end, Wei Wuji didn't think much about it. He waved his hand and the chariot headed towards Weicheng.
The next day!
The army is at the gate of the city.
The Wei army had 150,000 soldiers, while Wei Wuji's army was said to be 300,000.
There were countless military formations lined up at the foot of the city, and the evil spirit formed by the invisible military might enveloped the entire void.
And in front of the Wei army.
There were hundreds of catapults standing, and hundreds of crossbows. It was obvious that Wei Wuji was really determined to break through Weicheng and reverse the fate of his Wei State.
"Where are the Wei soldiers?"
Wei Wuji was sitting on the chariot and shouted in a powerful voice.
"Drink, drink, drink."
All the Wei troops shouted in unison, showing extraordinary military might.
"I am Wei Wuji."
"Old."
"The world is now in a time of great strife. Why would an old man like me still lead an army to war?"
"First, it is for the stability of the Wei Dynasty."
"Second, for the stability of the people of Wei."
"The fortune of the Great Wei is declining, but now is the opportunity to change it. If we can capture this Weicheng and seize the land of Han, the Great Wei can become prosperous and strong again."
"As long as you can do it, the history of the Great Wei will never forget you."
"Pass on my command."
"Anyone who attacks Weicheng and is the first to break through the city will be promoted three ranks, made a general, and rewarded with a thousand gold coins."
"Whoever cuts down the Qin banner will be promoted two ranks, made a general, and rewarded with a hundred gold coins."
"Anyone who captures the enemy commander alive will be promoted three ranks, given the title of general, and rewarded with ten thousand gold coins."
"Kill him for me!"
Wei Wuji drew his sword and pointed it directly at Weicheng.
Around Wei Wuji's chariot.
Dozens of messengers immediately rode their horses to various military formations.
The Wei army's offensive begins!
Above Weicheng.
Zhao Feng was wearing a suit of armor and was surrounded by personal guards.
The entire city wall was filled with Qin soldiers holding bows and arrows, but some were wearing armor and some were just wearing Qin military uniforms.
This is also the difference between the elite soldiers and the criminal army.
"In a siege, the defenders have an absolute innate advantage."
"Wei Wuji, you may be good at commanding troops, but I am defending the city, and you can only attack by force."
Zhao Feng looked indifferently at the Wei army that was attacking in front of the city, without any panic.
"All troops, listen to my orders."
"Trebuckles ready."
"Archers ready."
Zhao Feng gave an order.
"The general has given orders."
"Catapults, bows and arrows."
The guards immediately spread the order.
"The soldiers of the Qin prisoner army."
"For you, the opportunity to change your fate has come. Kill one enemy and you will be freed from slavery. Kill five enemies and you will be promoted to a higher rank."
"And today."
"I will make another promise to all the convict soldiers. If they die fighting for the Qin Dynasty, their families will be compensated as if they were ordinary soldiers of the Qin Dynasty." Zhao Feng shouted loudly.
As soon as these words fell.
As the messenger spread.
All the prisoners were amazed, and then burst into tremendous morale.
"Swear allegiance to the Qin Empire until death, swear allegiance to the Qin Empire until death..."
Countless prisoners were inspired by Zhao Feng's words.
This time.
They seemed to have been freed from all worries.
Actually.
Zhao Feng thought of this when he was forming the prisoner army, but when he thought about the real battlefield later, it would be more motivating if he said it at the critical moment.
And now is the time.
Anyway, the Qin King's edict is in his hands, and he has absolute power over the King of Weicheng. In order to defend the territory of the Great Qin, it is not excessive to use such incentives.
Zhao Feng looked at the Wei army advancing in front of him.
On the battlefield, the one who strikes first is king.
When the Wei army entered the range of the catapults, they released the stones without waiting for them.
"kill!"
Zhao Feng shouted loudly.
Suddenly.
In various places in the city, dozens of catapults that had been prepared long ago instantly released dozens of huge boulders, blasting them out of the city.
A moment.
Bombard indiscriminately.
Countless Wei troops were crushed into meat paste in an instant, but although the Wei troops formed a military formation when attacking the city, they would not attack in a dense manner, but would attack in a dispersed manner.
But as soon as Zhao Feng gave the order, the catapults attacked and killed the Wei army, catching them off guard.
Then.
After the catapult.
“Bow and arrow!”
Zhao Feng shouted again.
Suddenly, arrows were fired from Weicheng.
It fired towards the Wei army that was attacking the city.
The Qin arrows killed indiscriminately.
Groups of Wei soldiers died under the dense rain of arrows.
"The Qin army was well prepared."
When Wei Wuji saw this, his mind became clear as a mirror.
But at the beginning of the war, he was not panicked at all.
There may be 100,000 soldiers in the city, but 50,000 of them are surrendered soldiers who can mutiny at any time. Once the city wall is attacked, there is a high probability that those surrendered soldiers will mutiny.
"Wei Bo." Wei Wuji said loudly.
"I will be here in the end."
Wei Bo's eyes were full of anticipation.
"In the first battle to siege the city, you will personally supervise the battle and command the army."
“If we can capture the city, I will personally report your military achievements to the king.” Wei Wuji said in a deep voice.
"I will definitely not let you down, Your Majesty." Wei Bo replied excitedly.
Then he rode towards the central army.
"Trebuckle, attack."
"Archers advance."
"The vanguard troops will attack under the cover of the trebuchets."
"Anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed without mercy." Wei Bo drew his sword and shouted loudly.
Next.
Naturally, it was an extremely brutal battle to capture the city.
On the battlefield.
The most brutal thing was the charge between the two armies, followed by the brutal siege.
This is the real meat grinder of war.
Zhao Feng stood on the city gate, very calm.
But as the Wei army really began to attack, Zhao Feng raised his bow, stared at the city, and glanced at the officers in charge of the Wei army.
immediately.
Draw the bow and draw the arrow.
call out.
An arrow was shot.
A general in the Wei army was leading his troops in a charge and there was no reaction at all.
With a "puff" sound.
An arrow pierced directly through the throat, and the five or six soldiers behind the general were also pierced through the body and died instantly.
"Kill the Marquis of Wei and pick up 10 points of strength."
"Kill the Wei soldiers and pick up 5 points of speed."
"Kill the Wei soldiers and pick up 5 points of physical fitness..."
A long-lost panel prompt appeared in front of Zhao Feng.
Under this prompt.
Zhao Feng did not hesitate at all. He scanned the area with his eyes like an eagle's and accurately identified the officers in the Wei army.
It is the same in all countries in the world, even among different ethnic groups. The attire of officers and ordinary soldiers must be different.
Officers in the Qin army were distinguished by their armor and titles.
The Wei army was naturally distinguished by their armor, which could be seen at a glance.
Zhao Feng did not stop and shot arrows quickly.
Even the officers in the Wei army could not block Zhao Feng's arrows even if they were in the battle formation.
"Kill the Marquis of Wei and gain 10 days of life."
"Kill Wei Duwei and pick up 20 points of strength."
"Kill the Wei soldiers and pick up 5 points of physical fitness..."
Zhao Feng shot arrows continuously.
Madness is taking the lives of Wei officers.
The effect of killing Wei army officers was also very significant. The Wei army lost its command during the charge and became very chaotic.
"The general is dead."
"The captain is dead too. There is no one to command. What shall we do?"
"Not good, our generals are also dead."
"Should we charge or not?"
As the Wei army's direct officers were killed by arrows one by one, the Wei army also fell into chaos.
Wei Bo, the commander of the central army, looked confused.
