Chapter 129 Zhao Feng’s bravery and Wang Jian’s shock!
The next day!
Nearly 300,000 Qin troops were stationed at the three gates of Wu'an City, east, west and south.
Since the Lantian camp invaded the State of Zhao, although many elite soldiers were lost along the way, they were still very few compared to the State of Zhao.
Now the Qin army that has arrived at the city of Wu'an has a total of 240,000 troops.
The only fully staffed force was Zhao Feng's, with 100,000 troops.
It's just that 50,000 of them are newly enlisted elite soldiers, and from outside they don't seem to have much practical experience.
The other two main camps have 70,000 people.
Attacking the heavily defended Wu'an City with such a large force seemed to be a fifty-fifty fight.
Moreover, the Zhao army had certain advantages, after all, they had the advantage of defending the city.
Faced with such a defensive situation, the Zhao army obviously would not take the initiative to attack, and Qin had no choice but to attack.
Without a doubt.
This war is a test of national strength, military force, and the duration of the war.
If either side cannot hold on, it will be defeated.
"Admiral."
"The Qin army is divided into three routes, corresponding to the three main camps of the Qin army, which are now at the East Gate, West Gate, and South Gate."
"Look at their formation and be ready to attack at any time."
The personal guard came to Pang Nuan and reported.
"Attack three gates and leave one open, so as not to cut off our army's escape route. If the city is breached, the army's morale will collapse."
"Wang Jian is really calculating."
"But, I, Pang Nuan, will never be afraid of you."
"Pass on this general's order."
"Zhao Cong guards the west gate, Yan Ju guards the east gate, and Zhao Li guards the south gate."
"Each general commanded 80,000 troops to guard the city."
"I will command 60,000 troops to guard the north gate and supervise the battle."
"This is a fight to the death. No one is allowed to retreat without my order. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed." Pang Nuan shouted coldly.
"promise."
The personal guards around him responded immediately.
"Wang Jian."
"Although Lian Po is dead, my Pang Nuan is no weaker than Lian Po."
"I will guard Wu'an and stop your Qin army here." Pang Nuan said coldly.
And at this time! "Daqin sharp warriors."
"Wind, wind, wind."
At the third gate of Wuan City, there was a sudden sound of roaring wind.
Accompanied by the sound of the wind.
Boom, boom, boom! whoosh whoosh whoosh! !
Hundreds of catapults threw boulders towards Wu'an City.
Hundreds of rocks fell from the sky like meteorites, smashing heavily into the city.
Along with these falling rocks, an endless rain of arrows was fired towards Wuan City.
The Qin army's tactics remained the same.
Arrows rained down to clear the way, and the city was bathed in blood.
Weaken the enemy's vitality as much as possible.
The location of the three gates.
The archers shot arrows crazily at a position beyond the Zhao army's range.
Simon.
Zhao Feng stood on the chariot and looked calmly at the 30,000 archers in front of him shooting arrows.
"After noon, the army attacked."
"Tu Sui, Zhang Han." Zhao Feng said.
"I am here." The two generals responded immediately.
"Tu Sui will lead an army of 50,000 to follow me in attacking the city, and Zhang Han will lead an army of 50,000 to follow closely."
"In a siege, the army must not disperse."
"Are all siege equipment ready?" Zhao Feng asked in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, General."
"Three hundred ladders have been prepared."
"There are thirty temporary vehicles."
"Everything is ready." Tu Sui replied immediately.
"There are plenty of bows and arrows, enough to suppress the enemy until noon." Zhang Han replied immediately.
"Okay." Zhao Feng nodded and looked at Wu'an City in the distance: "This time, my three main camps in Lantian will attack at the same time. Whoever breaks the city first will be the first to achieve the credit."
"Our army will take this credit."
Tu Sui and Zhang Han looked determined: "We will follow you till death."
For Zhao Feng.
This battle is not in Jinyang, so there is no need for Zhao Feng to give in.
This battle.
Kill the enemy and pick up the attributes, Zhao Feng wants it.
Zhao Feng also wants the credit for this battle.
On the battlefield.
Means of witnessing.
If Wang Ben, Yang Duan and others could break into the city first, it would be considered their ability.
After all, today's military achievements are very important to Zhao Feng, as they are the qualifications for Zhao Feng to become a general.
If you want to be promoted to general, both military merit and seniority are essential.
Although Zhao Feng had made sufficient military achievements along the way and received sufficient rewards, his qualifications were not so easy to make up for.
Therefore, Zhao Feng wanted to gain seniority through military achievements until he could be promoted to general.
This time, we will be the first to break the city, which can be considered a merit.
If he can capture the King of Zhao by conquering Handan someday, that would be another achievement.
Zhao Feng must fight for it.
Wuan City is empty.
The Qin army's arrows rained down continuously, and the catapults threw down stones continuously.
Under the absolute suppression of this weapon.
The Qin army had not suffered any casualties yet, but the Zhao army in Wuan City had already suffered heavy casualties.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly."
"The shield troops are on top, hide under the eaves."
“Hurry up…”
The Zhao army in the city was in chaos under the endless barrage of arrows.
But no matter how much they tried to dodge, Zhao soldiers would die every moment. After all, there were constant stream of arrows in the void, coming from the three gates of the void, and there was no escape.
Even though Pang Nuan and his troops had been prepared for Qin's arrows, they were still unable to defend themselves the moment the arrow fell.
"General."
"The Qin army has not yet attacked."
"What exactly is their purpose?"
A deputy general looked at Zhao Cong.
“Don’t be lazy.”
"Defend with all your strength."
"The Qin army will attack at any time."
"Use arrows to suppress the enemy, and then use the momentum of the arrows to attack the city. This is the Qin army's strategy all along."
"The general has given the order."
"This battle is a fight to the death."
"Our army will fight to the death and anyone who retreats will be killed." Zhao Cong said in a deep voice.
Time passes.
Zhao Feng stood on the chariot waiting for noon.
At this time.
Zhao Feng raised his head and looked at the sun hanging high in the sky. Now spring has passed and summer has arrived.
The sun also became much hotter.
Hanging high in the sky, noon has arrived.
Zhao Feng slowly pulled out the Longquan sword from his waist, slowly got off the chariot, and came to the front of the vanguard army.
"Where are the elite soldiers of the Lantian Fourth Main Camp?" Zhao Feng raised Longquan and shouted in a powerful voice.
"Wind, wind, wind."
One hundred thousand soldiers shouted in unison.
Among them are veterans who have experienced countless battles with Zhao Feng, as well as new recruits who have been in the army for less than two months.
However, in the past two months, these new recruits have already experienced the baptism of war and are no less capable than those in battle.
Moreover, Zhao Feng was blessed with the seal of luck when he commanded the troops. Every warrior under his command was full of fighting spirit and high morale.
"All the veterans who follow me know that if a war breaks out, I will be the first to fight."
“The same is true for this battle.”
"Pass on this general's order."
"I will turn my personal guards into a supervisory team to supervise the entire army. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed."
"The rest of the elite soldiers, follow me to attack and kill."
"kill!"
Zhao Feng shouted loudly.
Holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, he charged towards Wu'an City.
"I swear to follow the general until death." Tu Sui shouted.
Accompanied by countless sharp warriors shouting.
"I will follow the general till death."
“Kill! Kill! Kill!!”
One hundred thousand sharp warriors burst out with murderous intent, with Zhao Feng as the center, and the vanguard army followed Zhao Feng and rushed out.
Under the cover of the front-line archers.
Zhao Feng led his army to advance.
Behind him were the 50,000 elite soldiers led by Tu Sui, with Wei Quan leading the vanguard and shield army.
Quickly attack towards Wuan City.
"The Qin army attacked."
"Archer."
"The Rolling Stones."
"kill."
Zhao Cong at the west gate of Wu'an City saw the Qin army attacking and immediately issued orders.
The battle to defend the city was a bloody battle.
Start.
And at this moment.
It wasn't just Zhao Feng who led his troops to attack.
Where the other two city gates are located.
Wang Ben and Yang Duanhe also ordered an attack.
The sharp soldiers attacked the city in an orderly manner.
But there is one difference.
Zhao Feng led the troops and led the charge, while Yang Duanhe and Wang Ben commanded the rear army.
The way of being a general.
It is not based on bravery, but on commanding troops.
If the commander-in-chief leads the troops, once he is killed in battle, the whole army will be routed.
This is also the difference between Zhao Feng and them, because Zhao Feng possesses absolute strength.
He went into battle to kill the enemy without any fear.
The battlefield is the basis for him to achieve meritorious service, and it is also the foundation for Zhao Feng to acquire attributes and become stronger.
"This battle is over."
"Pang Nuan is leading the troops to guard the place."
"I'm afraid our army will suffer nearly 100,000 casualties."
"But compared to destroying Zhao, everything is worth it."
In the rear army, Wang Jian looked at the army that had already begun to attack and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Whether the city can be broken.
Wang Jian was very confident in his elite soldiers and believed that the city would be captured.
But the casualties will be considerable.
This is also a necessity.
For Qin, any casualties are worth it in order to unify the world.
Look back.
Following Zhao Cong's order.
Arrows rained down from the city.
Zhao Feng was in front, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other. No arrow could get within ten feet of him.
With Zhao Feng’s current strength, as long as his true energy and strength are sustained, these arrows will not pose any threat to him at all.
The sword swung.
A rain of arrows was cut down.
It was because of Zhao Feng's bravery.
Even facing the hail of arrows from the Zhao army, many Qin soldiers attacking outside the city were killed by them.
But every Qin army warrior rushed forward one after another to attack the city.
Because their main general Zhao Feng is rushing to the front at this moment, no matter which country they are from, this is the biggest motivation for ordinary soldiers.
A general does not fear death, and a soldier does not seek survival.
This is an army that is ever victorious.
The soldiers under Zhao Feng's command were inspired by this and became an invincible army. What's more, they had the double morale and combat power boost from the official seal of luck, which had a huge impact on their combat power.
Every warrior is not afraid of death.
Even though they were covered in sharp arrows, they were not afraid at all. They only had one belief, to break through the city in front of them.
Even though there were continuous rain of arrows and rolling stones from the city walls, they were not afraid at all.
Zhao Feng took the lead and rushed towards the city gate at an extremely fast speed.
Thousands of shield soldiers followed closely behind, and the ladders and chariots protected by the shield soldiers were advancing rapidly.
The closer they got to the city, the more murderous intent there became.
But it was only for a blink of an eye.
Zhao Feng rushed to the city gate.
Looking at the sturdy city gate in front of him, Zhao Feng was not at all disturbed.
"Sword cut."
"Break it for me."
Zhao Feng shouted in his heart.
The true energy in Dantian was instantly added to Longquan.
Invisible.
A sharp sword energy can be seen emerging from the blade.
Zhao Feng just swung his sword violently.
Cut down with one sword.
Dozens of invisible sword energies instantly broke through the air and slashed out.
The sword energy flew into the air and directly slashed on the city gate.
The city gate didn't even stop or delay at all.
Boom!
The city gate shattered into pieces in an instant.
The Zhao army inside was swallowed up by dozens of sword qi without any reaction. In an instant, a large number of Zhao soldiers were killed by the sword qi and fell in a pool of blood.
"Kill Zhao Bing and pick up 1 point of strength."
"Kill Zhao Bing and gain 1 point of speed."
"Kill Zhao Bing and gain 1 day of life."
"Kill Zhao Bing and gain one day of life..."
as always.
Kill enemies and pick up attributes.
Zhao Feng directly gained dozens of attribute points.
"kill!"
Zhao Feng shouted angrily, holding a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, he stepped directly on the broken city gate and rushed into the city.
After entering the city.
Looking at the Zhao army surrounding him, Zhao Feng naturally did not hold back at all.
True Qi bursts out.
The sword energy slashed in all directions.
Every time a ray of sword energy was slashed down, it took away the lives of several, or even nearly ten, Zhao soldiers.
A large number of attribute points were picked up by Zhao Feng.
Seeing Zhao Feng so brave, an invisible sword energy slashed down and killed him in mid-air.
The Zhao soldiers around looked at Zhao Feng in horror.
"Monster, he is a monster."
"He swings his sword and kills people from a distance."
"This is not human power, he is a ghost, he is a monster."
"He is not a human being..."
The Zhao soldiers around were shouting in fear.
But in horror.
Their chance of survival has been cut off.
The sword energy overflowed, piercing through the body and sealing the throat.
Martial arts, true qi.
This is the biggest secret that only Zhao Feng’s confidants know.
Look at the world.
As far as Zhao Feng can see now, he is the only one who knows martial arts, and only his subordinates know martial arts.
When outsiders see this kind of power that transcends the mundane, they can only die.
On this battlefield, Zhao Feng's true energy exploded because he saw that all those who practiced martial arts like him were dead.
"The general has breached the city gate."
"kill."
Looking at Zhao Feng breaking into the city, Tu Sui was not surprised at all.
Because this is the strength of his master.
All over the world.
Only his master has the strength to break through the city gate alone.
Follow closely.
Tu Sui immediately ordered an all-out attack.
Hundreds of ladders were attached to the city walls, as were temporary vehicles.
Tu Sui personally led the shield army into the city.
The army entered the city.
The real killing begins.
"Your Highness, General Zhao."
"The Qin army has broken through the city gate and entered the city."
An officer of the Zhao army ran into the city in panic and reported to Zhao Cong.
"What?"
"That's impossible."
"No matter how powerful the Qin army is, they can't break through the city gate so easily." Zhao Cong's first reaction was disbelief.
This reaction was just like Gongsun Xin's that day, which seemed impossible to do.
After all, in a siege, the defenders have the advantage. How could the city be breached so easily using human wave tactics? "General."
"It's true."
"The Qin army is now fighting with our soldiers at the city gate. The Qin army is now unstoppable and is attacking frantically."
"Please let the General decide."
The officer said helplessly.
"I feel ashamed towards General Pang and the king."
"The Qin army attacked three gates, but I didn't expect that the west gate guarded by me would be lost first." A look of shame appeared on Zhao Cong's face.
"General."
"The Qin army just broke through the gate, everything is still uncertain."
"General, you must not lose heart." The deputy general at the side immediately advised.
Hearing this.
Zhao Cong gradually came back to his senses, and his eyes regained their firmness: "Not bad."
"It's just that the city gate has been breached, and everything is still uncertain."
"Pass on this general's order."
"The limit is 10,000 troops. Starting from the 10,000th general camp, we will supervise the battle in turn."
"The first battalion of 10,000 generals was killed, the second battalion of 20,000 generals fought back, the second battalion of 20,000 generals was killed, the third battalion of 30,000 generals fought back."
"The Qin army must be driven out of the city."
"If the battle reaches the last battalion of ten thousand generals, I will personally lead the charge."
"Go ahead." Zhao Cong shouted coldly.
"I will obey your orders."
The deputy general immediately took the order and withdrew.
"Qin Jun."
"I will never lose." Zhao Cong said coldly.
at the same time.
Zhao Feng rushed forward and killed all the way.
The shield and sword in his hands were stained blood red, and Zhao Feng's entire body was also stained red with blood.
At this moment, behind Zhao Feng, Tu Sui led his elite soldiers to charge.
The tacit cooperation between each other.
Zhao Feng forcibly tore a hole in the defense line that the Zhao army was holding on to. As the hole was opened, more Qin troops rushed into the city and a bloody battle ensued.
His eyes turned.
The rear of the Qin army.
"Admiral."
"General Zhao Feng has already taken the credit."
"The west gate has been breached by General Zhao Feng and his elite troops."
"Now they have entered the city and are engaging in a bloody battle with the Zhao army."
The commander of the personal guards came to Wang Jian and reported.
"What?"
"The city gate was breached so quickly?" Wang Jian was stunned, obviously not expecting this.
"Absolutely."
"General Zhao Feng led the charge and was the first to rush into the city."
"Now the city tower has almost been captured by General Zhao Feng." The commander of the personal guards said happily.
"He leads the troops again?" Wang Jian frowned.
"Yes." The commander of the guards nodded.
"This kid really has a short memory."
"I have said before that a general should not be reckless and brave. A general is responsible for the entire army. Why doesn't he listen?" Wang Jian said with some dissatisfaction.
Wang Jian had long heard about Zhao Feng's attacks. Whenever there was a big battle, Zhao Feng would lead the troops and fight in the front.
Wang Jian naturally reminded him that he must never do this again in the future, after all, he was a general, not a soldier.
Zhao Feng naturally agreed, but he still did the same thing afterwards.
This made Wang Jian feel helpless and speechless, and of course he was also worried.
Because Zhao Feng was not only the commander-in-chief under his command, but also his son-in-law and the father of his two grandchildren.
"Admiral."
"General Zhao is still very young after all, so he naturally yearns for this kind of battle."
"Besides, the whole army knows how brave General Zhao is, so he naturally has his own plans." The commander of the personal guards said with a smile.
"Don't worry about it."
"He is indeed brave, but this is in the midst of a chaotic army. No matter how brave one person is, how can he compare to a huge army?"
"After this battle is over, I will definitely give him a good scolding." Wang Jian said angrily.
The commander of the royal guards smiled and didn't dare to say anything more.
"Go tell Wang Ben and Yang Duanhe."
"Zhao Feng has already broken through the city gate, let them work harder." Wang Jian said in a deep voice.
"promise."
The commander of the personal guards immediately accepted the order.
And look towards the city gate where Wang Ben and Yang Duanhe attacked.
Although the Zhao army was suppressed by Qin arrows, its defense was extremely tight. The Qin army attacked frantically, with battering rams pounding the city gates frantically. There were also sharp soldiers climbing up the ladders, but the Zhao army on the city wall had a tight defense. From time to time, sharp soldiers could be seen falling from the ladders and being shot to death by arrows.
This is what a siege really looks like, cruel and bloody.
Like purgatory.
after all.
Not everyone has the strength as strong as Zhao Feng, who can break down the city gate by himself.
Zhao Feng is the only exception to this.
Xianyang!
Inside Zhangtai Palace.
In front of the map of the rear hall, Ying Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, staring at Wu'an City with a serious face.
"Pang Nuan's return to help was so fast that it was beyond my expectations." Ying Zheng said slowly.
"A tired soldier is nothing to worry about."
"Wu'an City is not a military stronghold. The general will definitely be able to capture it. As long as we win this battle and defeat Pang Nuan, our army can go straight to Zhao's capital Handan." Wei Liao said with a smile.
"Three hundred thousand Zhao troops guard Wu'an."
"This is also the final battle of the State of Zhao."
"Just wait until Wu'an City is conquered."
"Based on my understanding of Zhao Yan, he will either flee northward into Dai or forcibly mobilize the troops from Dai to come to our aid." Ying Zheng smiled slightly, with a look of confidence that showed he saw through Zhao Yan.
Wei Liao nodded: "Your Majesty is wise."
"but."
"The most advantageous thing for our Great Zhao is for Zhao Yan to transfer troops from Dai. In this way, Dai will be empty, and our Great Qin can save some time and energy to capture it in the future." Wei Liao said with a smile.
"With Guo Kai as a hidden man, Zhao Yan will not flee to Dai." Ying Zheng sneered.
"Your Majesty was truly wise to spare Guo Kai's life as a hidden pawn."
"Guo Kai played a role in Lian Po's death."
"The capture of Jinyang, the deployment of city defenses, and the deployment of troops were all contributed by Guo Kai." Wei Liao said with a smile.
"Guo Kai is a villain who is worth exploiting."
"If he is a gentleman, then it will be useless." Ying Zheng smiled.
He was also very satisfied with the move to subdue Guo Kai.
"Pang Nuan's return to the army so quickly this time has indeed confirmed what the king thought."
"Yan State did not want to see our Great Qin destroy Zhao, so it did not send any large army to pursue the Zhao army, which is why they retreated so quickly."
"If it weren't for our Great Qin, Yan would not exist."
"This is truly unkind of a son." Wei Liao said angrily.
"If the Yan State is like this, this matter can be used as a topic of conversation for our Great Qin in the future."
"I will ask King Yan to give an explanation." Ying Zheng said coldly.
Ying Zheng was naturally angry about Yan State's actions.
"We can discuss this matter after we destroy Zhao. I have already sent a message to the Shaofu, and the intelligence about Zhao has been transmitted in time. With General Wang Jian here, there is nothing to worry about." Wei Liao said with a smile.
And at this moment.
Yan State, Jicheng.
Inside the bedroom of Prince Yan.
Prince Xi of Yan looked at the person kneeling in the hall with an angry face.
"Do you know your mistake?" King Yan said angrily.
"What did I do wrong? Please tell me clearly, father?" Yan Dan asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"When the Zhao army retreated, you actually ordered the entire army not to pursue them and watched them retreat. Isn't this wrong?" King Xi of Yan frowned and said angrily.
"Father."
"The reason why Qin State launched an attack on Zhao State was not simply to save Yan State, but to destroy Zhao State."
"If Qin really succeeds, there will be no peace for Great Yan. Qin will be more dangerous than Zhao."
"The reason why I did not pursue the Zhao army was to prevent Qin from destroying Zhao."
"All this is for Dayan." Yan Dan said self-righteously.
Listen to what he says.
The anger on Prince Xi of Yan's face grew even stronger.
"Asshole."
"You still don't know you're wrong now?"
"Don't you think the King of Qin can't see what you're thinking?"
"Do you think the King of Qin won't be angry?"
"This action has displeased the King of Qin and the Qin State." King Yan clapped his hands and roared angrily.
