Chapter 144 Zhao Feng’s cruelty!
Listen to Yan Dan's words.
Le Cheng was speechless, and his heart was filled with gloom: "The prince is too stubborn, and he thinks everything is too good. He thinks everything will be as he expects."
"Pass on this order from the Crown Prince."
"Close the city gates and prepare for battle."
"This prince wants to see if this Zhao Feng really has the guts to attack and provoke a dispute between my Great Yan and the Qin State." Yan Dan snorted coldly and shouted immediately.
Suddenly.
The city gates are closed.
The Yan army in the city also climbed up the city walls and took a defensive stance.
Not long after.
Twenty thousand Qin troops gathered in front of this small town.
"The Qin army is really here."
Le Cheng's expression became unusually solemn.
Yan Dan was stupid and self-righteous.
But Le Cheng knew that the Qin army was powerful.
Or maybe he knew how powerful the Zhao army was. When the Zhao army attacked Yan State at first, Yan State was defeated without any resistance and could only retreat. If Qin State had not joined the war, Yan State might have been destroyed by Zhao State.
"Qin Jun."
"This prince does not believe you dare to attack." Yan Dan stared at the front of the city and said coldly.
Line up in front of the city.
Zhao Feng rode his horse and stood in front of the formation.
Behind him were Tu Sui, Wei Quan and Liu Wang.
After knowing that the Yan army was there, Zhao Feng mobilized 20,000 troops to gather here to deal with the Yan army.
Although the Yan army claimed to have an army of 100,000.
But their forces had already been dispersed, and there were not many Yan troops in this city.
Twenty thousand elite warriors are enough! "General."
"This city has been occupied by the Yan army. Those who were released should have conveyed the intention of our Great Qin, but they have closed the city gates and are obviously not planning to leave." Tu Sui glanced at the city and turned to Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng didn't say anything.
But just stretch out your hand.
Zhang Ming beside him immediately picked up an arrow and handed it to Zhao Feng respectfully.
A small piece of cloth was tied to the arrow.
"One last warning."
"If they don't retreat, then attack." Zhao Feng said coldly.
Then he rode forward.
When it was less than a hundred feet away from the city.
Zhao Feng picked up the black iron bow, bent the bow and put the arrow on it.
With a whoosh sound.
A sharp arrow shot through the air and headed towards the city wall.
Just a moment.
Bang! The arrow was nailed firmly into the wall behind the city wall.
“Is this still a human being?”
The Yan army on the city wall saw this and looked at it in shock.
It was nearly a hundred feet away, but he actually shot the arrow from such a long distance.
Le Cheng hurried over to take a look.
The arrow penetrated deeply into the wall, and cracks appeared on the wall, which showed how powerful the arrow was.
"Prince."
"Admiral."
"There is a letter on this arrow."
A Yan general who stepped forward shouted.
"Take it down." Le Cheng gave the order immediately.
"promise."
General Yan immediately stepped forward and tried to take the arrow down, but no matter how hard he tried, the arrow was stuck in the wall and wouldn't move. Shocked, he gave up trying to take the arrow and instead took the cloth off the arrow and respectfully handed it to Yan Dan.
Yan Dan took it, opened it, and immediately a look of anger appeared on his face.
"You are so bold that you even dare to threaten this prince." Yan Dan said angrily.
Le Cheng came closer to take a look.
There was only one sentence written on the cloth.
"After half an incense stick, our army will attack. If the Yan army dares to counterattack, our army will kill them all without mercy! If you withdraw immediately, you can be pardoned!"
Seeing this, Le Cheng immediately said, "Prince, this Qin general Zhao Feng is serious. If we don't withdraw our troops, he will really attack."
"Before we mobilized, the king instructed us not to clash with the Qin army."
Mention King Yan.
Yan Dan's heart sank, but he saw that there were only 20,000 soldiers in front of the city, which was less than the 30,000 or 40,000 troops in his city, and this was the city he had already captured.
Yan Dan was naturally very unwilling in his heart.
At this moment, his mentality was the same as that of Zhao Yan who insisted on not withdrawing his troops from Yan State. He finally had the opportunity to prove himself, so how could he let it go.
"These cities were won by the hard work of my Great Yan soldiers. This is the territory of my Great Yan. How can we give it up?" Yan Dan said coldly.
I have to say.
Yan Dan is really shameless. Did he get it by fighting hard for the Yan army? What about the Qin warriors who fought bloody battles in front of Handan City?
but.
The bottom line is that history is written by the victors.
"Admiral."
"Prepare for war."
"If Zhao Feng really dares to attack, then we'll see if he has the ability to do so." Yan Dan shouted coldly.
Le Cheng's face changed drastically: "Prince, do you really want to go to war with the Qin army?"
"This is not a war, but the Qin army taking the initiative to attack. The fault lies with Qin, not our Great Yan." Yan Dan still looked stubborn.
"how?"
"General, are you not going to carry out the orders of this prince?" Yan Dan looked at Le Cheng with a cold face.
Yan Dan looked down on this general who had betrayed Yan and surrendered to Zhao from the bottom of his heart.
If Yan State had not run out of generals, Le Cheng would not have been able to become the general.
"Your Highness, please think this through carefully."
"If we really fight the Qin army, all the consequences will be borne by the prince."
See here.
Le Cheng couldn't bear it anymore and said to Yan Dan.
Fighting against the Qin army is a heavy responsibility, and Le Cheng does not want to become Yan Dan's scapegoat.
"Everything will be borne by this prince."
"But the credit for repelling the Qin army has nothing to do with the general." Yan Dan said with a cold face.
Looking at the Qin army of only 20,000 in front of the city, Yan Dan was very confident.
"Zhao Feng is not a simple person. If he were, Lian Po, Wei Wuji, and Pang Nuan wouldn't have been defeated by Zhao Feng. Two of them even died. Prince, you should face it well."
"This battle is all handed over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"I'll take my leave." Le Cheng waved to Yan Dan, turned around and left, going down the city wall.
Looking at Le Cheng's back, Yan Dan's eyes were filled with coldness: "If it weren't for the fact that my father had no one else to use, I should have killed you when you came back."
"Wait."
"When I succeed to the throne, the first thing I will do is kill you, a cowardly traitor."
Thoughts come back.
Yan Dan was not afraid either.
He immediately shouted: "Soldiers, this city was won by you through hard fighting. This city has become the territory of Great Yan. Now the Qin army is invading and intends to take the victory away from us. Are you willing?"
Faced with this sound.
The Yan army soldiers on the city wall looked at each other in bewilderment.
After hearing Yan Dan's words, they just felt a little disappointed.
This was because since they had entered the State of Zhao, they had not encountered many Zhao troops at all. Even those they had met simply fled and surrendered.
Their army of 100,000 marched straight in without encountering any obstacles at all.
In this case.
Even ordinary soldiers understood that all the Zhao troops were frightened by the Qin army, and they just came here to take advantage of the situation.
"how?"
"Are you afraid?"
Seeing that the Yan army on the city wall was silent, Yan Dan shouted angrily.
At this time!
Several of Yan Dan's trusted men immediately raised their weapons and shouted, "We will defend the territory of Great Yan to the death, and we will defend the city of Great Yan to the death."
Instigated by these generals, sparse shouts were heard from the city wall.
But from what we can see now, their morale is not high.
I think so.
They had already been frightened by the Zhao army and almost lost their country. Now they were naturally very afraid of the Qin army that was about to destroy Zhao.
now.
Listen to the shouts in the city.
Zhao Feng frowned, then raised the Overlord Spear in his hand.
"Great Qin warriors!"
With the Overlord Spear raised high.
Zhao Feng shouted loudly.
"Wind, wind, wind."
The 20,000 elite soldiers had little manpower, but the sound of their shouts was like thunder, sweeping across the void.
The overwhelming murderous intent also rolled towards the city.
Just a comparison.
Then you can know the strength of the army's morale.
"Is this the Qin army?"
"What a terrible murderous aura."
At this moment, even Yan Dan could feel the silent murderous aura in the void when he heard the thunderous roar, which made him feel a little nervous.
He is always like this.
The Yan army on the city wall was even more so.
"The Zhao army was so strong, and the Qin army defeated the Zhao army."
"They look stronger than the Zhao army."
"Our army cannot possibly be a match for the Qin army."
"what to do?"
…
Many Yan soldiers on the city wall were already in a panic.
Even if the Yan army still had some morale before the attack by the Zhao army, they had no morale at all after almost losing their country.
"In the past, Zhao attacked Yan, and Yan asked for help from our Great Qin. Our Great Qin, upholding justice, sent troops to attack Zhao and save Yan."
"Because of our Great Qin, Yan survives."
"But now, Yan State is disloyal and has no intention of repaying our Great Qin. Instead, it has taken away the fruits of our Great Qin's victory."
"This is intolerable."
"All warriors, listen to my orders."
"Follow me to break into the city."
"After the city is captured, no surrender will be left."
"No mercy for the killing."
Zhao Feng raised the Overlord Spear and shouted angrily.
Then he rode out on his horse.
Six hundred personal guards followed closely behind him, all of them cavalry.
Zhao Feng didn't need to pay too much attention to conquering such a small town.
He had received intelligence that the Yan army consisted of light troops without many defensive weapons, and the city before them was just a small one, not very high, and the gates were not strong.
As the cavalry rushed out.
Tu Sui drew his sword and shouted, "Attack!"
"Daqin warriors, attack!"
Twenty thousand sharp soldiers roared, dispersed their troops, and attacked
"This Zhao Feng is looking for death."
"You're attacking the city with cavalry?"
Looking at the less than 1,000 cavalrymen rushing in front of the city, Yan Dan was stunned, then sneered sarcastically: "It seems that this Zhao Feng is just a name."
"This boy is praised by the Qin State as a rising general comparable to Bai Qi. If we capture him today, perhaps we can use his life to negotiate with the Qin State."
Think of this.
Yan Dan immediately ordered: "Archers, get ready. If the Qin army approaches, shoot immediately."
"The territory of Great Yan must not be lost."
Under Yan Dan's command.
The Yan army on the city wall was immediately mobilized, with archers pointing their archers towards the city.
Just wait for the Qin army to approach.
Yes! Zhao Feng and the six hundred guards behind him were not afraid at all.
He still rode his horse at full speed and charged towards the city.
"Shoot!"
Yan Dan drew his sword and shouted loudly.
Arrows were fired from the city wall.
Zhao Feng galloped on his horse, waving the Overlord Spear in his hand, and a rain of arrows swept down from him.
The guards behind him also waved their spears, sweeping away the rain of arrows.
All of Zhao Feng's personal guards have martial arts skills, and they must be above the fourth level of the acquired realm. Since they are scattered so far apart, these arrows cannot cause much damage.
Compared with the Zhao army's defense of Handan, the Yan army's sparse rain of arrows was nothing.
Zhao Feng would have to be cautious about that rain of arrows, but there was no need for that at the moment.
Just a blink of an eye.
Zhao Feng rushed to the city gate.
"break!"
The Overlord Spear is also a magical weapon of the Xuan level, at least it can be called a magical weapon in this mortal world.
A strike towards the city gate killed Xia.
Powerful true energy is added to it.
An invisible spear beam shot out, carrying extremely terrifying destructive power.
Boom!
The city gate shattered.
The Yan army inside panicked instantly.
"kill!"
Zhao Feng rushed into the city.
He swung the Overlord Spear and instantly killed several Yan soldiers in front of him. He spurred his horse and rushed into the city.
The personal guards behind him were not surprised at all. They quickly gathered together and followed their master on horseback into the city to charge.
With the royal guards joining the battle, it became a one-sided massacre.
These Yan soldiers who had lost their morale were like lambs to be slaughtered, and their lives were madly harvested by the royal guards.
"The gates have been breached."
"Follow the General."
"kill."
Tu Sui shouted loudly and followed on horseback.
The 20,000 sharp warriors behind him also attacked frantically.
"impossible."
"Is this impossible?"
"How did he break into the city?"
Yan Dan on the city wall panicked.
This was nothing like the defensive battle he had imagined.
That Zhao Feng, after approaching the city gate, broke into the city in an instant?
How is this done? Faced with Zhao Feng's army charging, the Yan army's scattered defense was instantly torn apart in the moment the city was broken.
"The Qin army is a monster."
"Retreat, retreat quickly."
"The city gate was directly cut down by General Qin."
"Monster... Monster..."
The Yan army in the city immediately lost their fright and fled in panic.
"Yan Army."
"Leave no one behind."
Zhao Feng shouted coldly.
Killing the Yan army madly.
"Kill one Yan soldier and pick up 1 point of strength."
"Kill one Yan soldier and gain one day's lifespan..."
Attributes are constantly being picked up.
The personal guards and sharp warriors behind him also killed the enemies crazily, sweeping across the small town.
"Prince."
"The Qin army has broken into the city."
"I can't hold it anymore."
"Report, Prince, the city gate has been lost."
"Report... The Qin army has occupied the city. We can't escape..."
One by one, the Yan soldiers and generals hurriedly reported to Yan Dan.
But at this moment, it was too late for Yan Dan and the Yan army to report this.
The battle started and was ended in less than half an hour. How could they have imagined that the situation would be like this?
"How could the Qin army be so powerful?"
"How could our soldiers of Great Yan be so vulnerable in front of them?"
At this moment, Yan Dan was also panicked, and a look of fear appeared on his face.
Half an hour's self-righteousness and high spirits became a joke.
“Kill, kill…”
"Leave no one of the Yan army alive."
"kill……"
There were bursts of shouting and killing sounds coming from the stairs of various places on the city wall.
Countless black-armored warriors have rushed to the top of the city wall. They looked at the Yan army as if they were prey and rushed towards them madly. Each warrior was blood-thirsty.
For all the elite soldiers, these Yan troops were military achievements and merits for promotion.
This is also the fundamental reason why the Qin warriors are not afraid of death.
Fight for Daqin, fight for yourself, and fight for your family.
soon.
Thousands of Yan soldiers on the city wall were killed, leaving only a few hundred people. They surrounded Yan Dan and looked at the Qin army approaching from all sides in horror.
"stop."
"This prince is Yan Dan, the prince of Dayan."
"Let Zhao Feng come to see this prince."
See here.
Yan Dan could no longer bear it, so he walked out of the Yan army and shouted loudly.
Hearing Yan Dan reveal his identity.
The sharp warriors around stopped attacking, but each of them was full of greed, staring at Yan Dan, but at this moment no one seemed to dare to attack first.
It seemed as if he was afraid of tearing Yan Dan into pieces.
"Except Yan Dan."
"Kill the rest."
"Capture Yan Dan, and you will be promoted one level in rank and one level in title."
At this time.
Zhao Feng's voice rang out from the city wall.
As for Yan Dan, Zhao Feng naturally did not intend to kill him, and Ying Zheng also specifically instructed that Yan Dan should not be killed. If he was killed, it would not be a good thing for the Qin State, so it would be useful to keep him alive.
After all, in Ying Zheng's view.
It is a good thing for Qin that Yan State has such a stupid prince.
and.
This may be the last time that Ying Zheng cared about the friendship they had in their childhood.
"Zhao Feng, how dare you."
"I have an alliance with the Qin State."
Yan Dan's expression changed drastically and he shouted at Zhao Feng.
But no one paid any attention to him.
"kill."
"kill……"
The surrounding elite soldiers rushed forward and killed the remaining Yan troops on the city wall.
It didn't take much time at all.
The Yan army on the city wall was strangled to death, and the entire city wall was littered with corpses.
Even Yan Dan was captured by two sharp warriors at this moment.
"Zhao Feng."
"How dare you?"
"How dare you?"
Yan Dan looked at Zhao Feng with a distorted face.
"I have already given you a chance."
"Yan Dan, the Crown Prince of Yan."
"Put aside your so-called naivety. This is a war, a war to the death." Zhao Feng walked slowly in front of Yan Dan and said coldly.
"Kill me if you dare." Yan Dan roared.
For him.
This defeat was a slap in his face. He had been eager to expand his territory and prove himself through this battle, but all his plans were ruined by just this one battle.
Thinking about having to face his father and even Ying Zheng in the future.
Yan Dan felt that it would be better to die.
"After all, you are the prince of a country."
"If I kill you, how can I explain to the king?" Zhao Feng smiled faintly.
"General."
"Many Yan soldiers have surrendered in the city. Will you accept them?" Tu Sui walked over quickly.
"What did the declaration of war I issued say?" Zhao Feng turned his head and frowned.
"We will not accept any surrendered soldiers, and will not leave any alive." Tu Sui replied immediately.
"Then what are you asking?" Zhao Feng said coldly.
"I understand." Tu Sui retreated immediately.
"Zhao Feng."
"How dare you be so cruel?"
"They have already surrendered, why do you want to kill them all?" Yan Dan asked angrily.
"Your Highness."
"You chose this yourself."
"I will say so."
"As long as you don't leave, my Great Qin will regard you as an enemy. How we treat the enemy is not up to you, the prince of the enemy country."
"Take him away."
"Keep a close watch on it."
"Hunting down the Yan army, not allowing any of them to surrender, until they are driven out of Zhao's territory."
"As for Yan Dan, report it to Xianyang as soon as possible and see how the king will deal with him." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
"promise."
Zhang Ming beside him immediately took the order. ——Yan State, Jicheng! "What did you say?"
"Yan Dan was captured by Qin General Zhao Feng? Of my 100,000 troops, less than 60,000 escaped?"
"Didn't I tell you not to fight the Qin army? Why is this happening?"
In the court hall, upon hearing the news about the Yan army in Zhao territory, the King of Yan's face suddenly changed.
"Your Majesty."
"General Le Cheng reported that the Qin army has issued two declarations of war, asking the prince to withdraw his troops. The Qin army can send more troops to leave and there will be no trouble."
"But the prince refused to listen and insisted on occupying those Zhao cities. Eventually, the Qin general Zhao Feng mobilized his troops in anger, broke through the city where the prince was, and captured the prince."
"This is all because the prince is so stubborn."
A military official stood up and spoke with a helpless look on his face.
Hear this.
King Yanxi's expression became even colder, and his old face was shaking with anger.
"Asshole."
"Rebellious son."
"I have long said that if the Qin army comes, you must not fight with them, but this rebellious son actually dared not listen to me and even dared to fight with them."
"What a bastard!"
King Xi of Yan roared angrily.
now.
He was furious to the extreme.
The Qin State! This is a country more powerful than Zhao.
As far as the State of Yan was concerned, Qin had done them a favor, and sending troops to seize the city was ungrateful. Originally, King Xi of Yan was taking a gamble to see if Qin would be angry about this, but he obviously lost the gamble.
Therefore, he had already instructed that if they encountered the Qin army, they should not take action but should retreat immediately.
But he didn't expect his son to be so reckless.
"Your Majesty."
"The die is cast now."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been captured by the Qin army."
"I, Dayan, need to think about what to do next."
A minister from the State of Yan spoke up.
"What else can I do?"
"What else can I do?"
"Can we mobilize troops against Qin and force it to give us the people?"
"It would be best if that damned rebellious son were to die."
"If he had died earlier, he wouldn't have caused such a big hole for me." King Yan said with both joy and anger.
Facing the furious King of Yan.
No one in the court dared to speak.
"Apologize, apologize to the Qin State."
"As for that rebellious son, if Qin wants his life, let him go."
"Prime Minister, you will go to the State of Qin in person..." - Time passed slowly! The cities in Zhao were gradually captured by Qin, and it wouldn't take long before Qin completely controlled them.
Xianyang City! "Your Majesty, the envoy from Yan State is requesting an audience outside the palace."
Wang Wan stood up and started speaking loudly.
“It’s finally here.”
"I have been waiting for him for a long time."
Sitting high up in the seat, Ying Zheng had a smile on his face.
Obviously.
The news that Yan Dan was captured and the Yan army suffered heavy losses at the hands of Zhao Feng had already reached Xianyang.
now.
What Ying Zheng was waiting for was the news from the State of Yan. They wanted to redeem Yan Dan and appease the anger of the Qin State. But it was not as simple as sending an envoy, and it would require bloodshed.
"Xuan!"
Ying Zheng said majestically.
"The king has issued an order."
"Call the envoys from Yan State to the palace for an audience." Zhao Gao immediately shouted hoarsely.
The sound gradually spread.
An old minister dressed in the official uniform of the State of Yan walked slowly into the court hall of the State of Qin.
After entering the palace.
He knelt down and said, "Jingfu, the envoy of Yan State, pays respect to the King of Qin."
Ying Zheng looked at the Yan ministers below with a cold face and said coldly: "Yan State."
"Breaking the covenant."
"How dare you snatch meat from my Great Qin's mouth."
"My Great Qin generals gave Yan a chance, but you Yan refused to appreciate it and sent troops to fight against my Great Qin."
"Gu, I'm very unhappy!"
…
