Chapter 182: Long-lost attribute pickup!
As Zhao Feng's voice fell.
Suddenly.
The entire sky and earth was instantly filled with a tremendous pressure.
The murderous pressure from the Qin warriors.
"Wind, wind, wind."
The unique roar of the Qin warriors resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
Boundless pressure was released under the roar of the wind.
"kill!"
Zhao Feng shouted coldly.
The messengers around instantly dispersed and conveyed the general's orders.
The catapults and crossbows that had been lined up for a long time were ready to go.
Under the roar of the wind.
Boom boom boom!!
Waves of roars rang out.
Countless rolling stones and countless huge crossbow arrows shot towards Yanggao City.
"Wind, wind, wind."
Tens of thousands of Qin archers also drew their bows and shot arrows with all their might.
Countless arrows rained down on Yanggao City.
Suddenly! The sky over Yanggao City was covered by dense rain of arrows, countless rolling stones, and countless crossbows.
With endless murderous intent, they all overturned and fell down.
"Defend!"
The Wei general on the city wall shouted loudly.
The Wei soldiers near the city wall hid behind it, and many of them also put up shields.
However, under the rolling stones and the crossbows that were powerful enough to shoot huge holes in the city walls, countless Wei soldiers were directly crushed to death or pierced by the crossbows.
And a dense rain of arrows fell from the void.
There is no way to defend.
The advantage of Qin arrows.
Even if the countries knew, they could only defend themselves as best as possible, but they had no way to respond.
Because this is the advantage of Qin's military equipment.
Qin arrows were fired continuously.
It covered almost half of Yanggao City.
Countless Wei soldiers were killed by arrows, and countless Wei soldiers fell in a pool of blood.
There were even new recruits of the Wei army crying out in pain, and the city was in a state of tragedy.
"Anyone who shakes the morale of the army will be killed."
"The wounded, send them to the wounded camp immediately."
"If one person dies in battle, another person will take over. We must not lose our defense."
"The Qin army can rely on rain of arrows to suppress the attack at any time."
In the city.
Long Zhang shouted coldly.
Even though Qin's arrows were fierce, the Wei army in the city remained stable under his command.
Countless arrows were fired from outside the city towards Yanggao City, seemingly without interruption.
Zhao Feng stood on the chariot, watching the slaughter on the battlefield with indifference and calmness.
After so many years of war, Zhao Feng was completely accustomed to these scenes of killing.
On the battlefield, it's either you die or I die.
When the rain of arrows continued for nearly an hour.
Hundreds of thousands of arrows had been shot into the city, and naturally the Wei army in the city suffered countless casualties.
Unfortunately, there was no kerosene in that era. If kerosene was used to turn arrows into rockets, the outcome of the rockets burning the city would be very different.
Zhao Feng raised his head and looked at Yanggao City which was covered by a rain of arrows.
The casualties in the city may not be visible from the outside, but under such an attack, the Wei army in the city must have suffered heavy casualties.
immediately.
Zhao Feng slowly jumped off the chariot.
The Longquan sword was held in his hand.
The moment his eyes were fixed on Yanggao City.
Zhao Feng spoke brazenly: "I am Zhao Feng, the general of Wu'an Camp."
"All the elite soldiers of Wu'an Camp, all the prisoners of Wu'an Camp."
"In this battle, those who break into the city and kill those who enter the city will all be credited with merit."
"Those who kill the enemy for the country will be promoted to nobles, and prisoners and soldiers will be pardoned and slaves will be made."
"Those who died in battle for the country, whether they were elite soldiers or prisoners, will all be compensated by the court."
"This is my promise to all the soldiers."
The next moment.
Zhao Feng raised the Longquan in his hand high: "Where are the guards?"
"exist."
Zhang Ming, commanding 1,500 personal guards, shouted in unison.
"The personal guards are supervising the battle."
"Anyone who retreats will be beheaded." Zhao Feng shouted in a powerful voice.
"We will follow your orders." All the guards responded in unison.
The next moment.
All 1,500 guards drew their swords from their waists and held them tightly in one hand.
It exudes an invisible aura of deterrence and killing.
These 1,500 men are Zhao Feng's personal guards who are absolutely loyal to him. They are also veterans of the army. They have all followed Zhao Feng all the way through the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Moreover, each of them has martial arts skills. These 1,500 men are capable of facing off against tens of thousands of armored soldiers.
Under the awed gaze of all the soldiers in the army.
"All soldiers, listen to my orders."
"Follow me and kill me."
Zhao Feng shouted loudly.
Head straight towards Yanggao City.
See this scene.
The veteran warriors in the army led their soldiers to follow Zhao Feng without any hesitation.
Boom, boom, boom.
The vanguard army surged and rushed towards Yanggao City frantically.
Zhao Feng, who was leading the way with Longquan in his hand, attracted even more attention.
For the veteran warriors who had been following Zhao Feng in the battles, they were already used to it. Looking at Zhao Feng charging ahead, they were extremely enthusiastic and said, "We will follow the general till death."
"kill!"
Countless sharp warriors roared and followed Zhao Feng to charge out.
As for those criminal soldiers, looking at Zhao Feng who was rushing in the front, it was obvious that they had never thought of such a situation.
"Did I see it wrong?"
"The general is actually at the front?"
"How is this possible?"
"He's the general, the highest-ranking officer in our Wu'an Camp. How could he rush to the forefront without caring about his own safety?"
"The general is so reckless about his own life, his promise to us criminals must be true. No one will mess around with their own lives."
"I will follow the general till death."
"kill."
"I will follow the general till death..."
Countless prisoners saw Zhao Feng rushing in the front and were all shocked. No one could imagine how big the impact was on the prisoners at this moment.
I will not live in vain!
A gentleman is not afraid of death!
This is the army commanded by Zhao Feng.
As the general, he rushed to the front and completely passed down this military spirit.
For ordinary soldiers, the rank of captain may be out of reach, let alone general.
Looking at Zhao Feng who was rushing in the front, one can imagine how encouraged his soldiers were. Even the prisoners who were skeptical about the Qin Dynasty's relief at the beginning were encouraged at this moment. Countless prisoners changed their mindset and followed Zhao Feng to charge forward with roars.
With Zhao Feng as a role model and the blessing of the official seal of luck, it is certain that every soldier will receive several times the blessing.
On the top of Yanggao City.
Looking at the Qin army rushing towards them.
The Wei general guarding the city immediately reported the incident.
"Defend with all your strength."
"Those who retreat will be killed."
"The new recruits go first, and the veterans supervise the battle."
"All the supervisory troops are on the front line, and they are responsible for supervising military discipline."
Long Zhang gave the order immediately.
His orders were also quickly spread by messengers.
Even though the Qin army started the attack, Long Zhang remained calm and showed no fear at all.
It seemed like everything was under his control.
In the city.
The Wei army mobilized quickly.
But the rain of arrows in the void never stopped.
From time to time, Wei soldiers were shot and killed by arrows.
The city was in a state of misery.
Many of the Wei soldiers on the city walls were trembling, and even many new recruits wet their pants out of fear.
"General Long has given orders."
"Defend with all your strength."
"Those who retreat will be killed."
"Archers, listen up! The Qin army is within range. Kill them."
"Catapults, crossbows, all activated to attack."
The Wei general on the city wall shouted loudly.
The order will be issued.
The Wei army hiding under the city wall stepped forward, but in just a moment, many Wei soldiers were shot to death by arrows before they even had time to react.
"Qin Jian, Qin Jian is still here."
"What should I do? I don't want to die."
Many new recruits of the Wei army on the city walls did not dare to step out and were extremely terrified.
When the Wei general saw this, he frowned, drew his sword and killed a cowardly Wei soldier, and shouted, "Supervisory troops, listen to my orders. If you dare to be cowardly, you will be punished by military law on the spot."
"Release the arrow."
"Fight."
Under his intimidation.
The Wei soldiers on the city wall could only bite the bullet and draw their bows and shoot arrows, but their formation was extremely chaotic and seemed very disorganized.
The real battlefield is extremely cruel.
If the recruits have not experienced war, if they have not seen death with their own eyes, if they have not killed the enemy with their own hands, the shadow and shock they will face will be enormous.
This is the difference between new recruits who have never been to the battlefield and seen blood and old soldiers.
A sparse rain of arrows fell from the city.
Along with the catapults there were also discharges from the crossbows.
Many Qin soldiers outside the city were also killed by arrows and rolling stones.
His head was bleeding, his body was pierced by arrows, and he was smashed into a pulp by rolling stones.
This kind of situation is everywhere.
This is naturally inevitable.
Facing the rain of arrows falling from the city wall.
Zhao Feng wielded Longquan, the sword tip flashed, and countless arrows were directly cut down.
"Use new soldiers to defend the city and lure the enemy deeper into our territory."
"Wei Wuji."
"You have made a good calculation." Zhao Feng sneered in his heart.
As a general who has fought in many battles, the difference between new recruits and old soldiers can be felt from the Wei army's defense.
Although the Qin army behind him suffered casualties, their offensive momentum was not hindered at all.
soon.
Zhao Feng rushed to the city gate.
"cut!"
For Zhao Feng today, there is no need to use any martial arts.
He raised Longquan, added true energy, and slashed with ease.
The sword directly slashed on the city gate.
Suddenly the sword energy spread out in all directions.
Boom!
The sturdy iron city gate was cut open in an instant and shattered into pieces.
Just like any other city gate that Zhao Feng had cut through before, the enemy troops inside all looked stunned.
"A swift sword."
Zhao Feng rushed forward with his sword drawn without any hesitation.
He swung the sword in his hand, and with one blow, he swung out dozens of swords.
Just a moment.
More than a dozen Wei soldiers in front of him died instantly.
They fell down almost at the same time, holding their necks and struggling to die.
"Kill the Wei soldiers and pick up 1 point of true energy."
"Kill the Wei soldiers and gain 1 day of life."
"Kill the Wei soldiers and gain 1 day of life."
…
Long time away from the battlefield.
The long-lost attribute pickup prompt.
This naturally made Zhao Feng extremely excited.
"kill!"
A cold shout.
Zhao Feng swept his eyes coldly over, looking at the Wei soldiers in front of him as if they were prey.
Longquan swung the sword, the tip of the sword shone with a cold light, and with one strike of the sword, sword energy rose up, killing the enemy madly.
Just one person is enough to kill thousands of soldiers.
Even if he doesn't use his true energy, Zhao Feng's other attributes are enough now.
"Follow the General."
"kill."
The sharp warriors behind Zhao Feng roared wildly.
This also includes the criminal army.
Each one is full of fighting spirit.
Even though arrows rained down from overhead and their comrades kept falling, they were unable to stop the Qin army's offensive.
The Qin army rushed forward, led by their respective generals and captains, and followed Zhao Feng to charge into the enemy camp.
The open city gate was like a river bursting its banks.
The Qin army was like a raging flood, rushing into Yanggao City madly. When they saw the Wei soldiers, they started killing them crazily.
Every Qin soldier was holding a long spear or a long sword, and they rushed forward madly, killing any Wei soldiers they saw.
Sweeping the entire city wall.
"Zhao Feng actually led the troops to charge in person?"
The Wei general on the city wall was panicked and terrified.
No one could have imagined that the city gate could be broken open with just one blow.
The surging Qin army charged forward madly, and even though the Wei army in front of them swore to resist to the death, they could not stop the ferocity of the Qin army.
The charge continues.
In the city.
"Your Highness, General Long."
"The Qin army has broken through the city gate and entered the city." A Wei general reported in a panic.
"It is just as your Majesty said."
"I don't know what kind of siege weapons the Qin army has, the city gates can't block it at all."
Long Zhang sighed, but there was still no trace of tension in his eyes.
It seemed that the battle situation was still under his control.
"Pass on this general's order."
"All 100,000 troops should advance in the original defensive posture and supervise each other in the battle. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed immediately." Long Zhang gave the order immediately.
"I obey your command." A Wei general quickly retreated and delivered the order.
After this Wei general left.
Long Zhang turned around and said to a general behind him: "Pass on my order. 50,000 elite troops should withdraw from Yanggao City in an orderly manner. 1,000 death warriors should sneak into various parts of the city. Once the Qin army penetrates deeply and completely breaks through the defense line, burn the city immediately."
"promise."
The Wei general behind him bowed and immediately retreated.
"One hundred thousand new troops."
"People in the city."
"No wonder I am like that."
"For the sake of the Great Wei, all sacrifices are worth it."
"This is also the final gamble for our Great Wei." A look of determination appeared on Long Zhang's face.
This strategy was personally arranged by Wei Wuji, the King of Wei.
When receiving the military order, Long Zhang tried to argue against the implementation of this strategy, but Wei Wuji just said that if sacrificing hundreds of thousands of people could exchange for the eternal survival of the Wei Dynasty, everything would be worth it, even if it meant letting his old bones die.
Time passed! The sounds of attack and killing continued in Yanggao City.
Countless Qin troops rushed in from the city gate and attacked frantically.
The Wei army also fought with all their might under the command of General Long Zhang, but the trend of defeat was already obvious.
Half a day passed.
A day passed.
At night.
The sounds of killing subsided a little, but the attacks and killing were still going on.
The entire Yanggao City had become a sea of blood and corpses. There were corpses everywhere, and mutilated soldiers lying in pools of blood and wailing everywhere. The smell of blood enveloped the entire Yanggao City.
The fighting lasted from evening until almost dawn.
A faint halo of light has risen under the originally dark night.
And at this moment.
"The time has come, General Long has given orders."
"Burning the city."
In the darkness of Yanggao City, there were thousands of voices.
As time came.
They quickly took out the tinder and lit the weeds, liquor and kerosene that seemed to have been prepared long ago.
Suddenly.
Huge fires broke out in various places in Yanggao City and quickly spread throughout the city.
but.
That's when they lit the fire.
Many of the attacking Qin soldiers raised their heads and looked at the sky.
Then.
Almost at the same time.
They began to retreat in an orderly manner towards the outside of Yanggao City.
Quickly come, quick goes.
only.
While retreating, many Qin soldiers saw their injured comrades lying on the ground and quickly picked themselves up and retreated.
"Wei Wuji."
"Dragon seal."
"You want to exchange a city for the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Wu'an. Although your plan is good, I have seen through it."
"Let you burn down all the Wei troops in this city with your own hands."
Cutting edge.
Zhao Feng took a look at the fleeing Wei army in front of him and had no intention of fighting.
Although the picking attributes made Zhao Feng very hot.
But compared to the lives of his soldiers, Zhao Feng chose the latter.
Wei Wuji has been preparing for a long time to deal with the Qin attack. Since he has decided to sacrifice many Wei troops in the city in exchange for mutual destruction and inflict heavy damage on the Qin, he must have been well prepared. It won't be long before Yanggao City will become a sea of fire. If he doesn't retreat now before the fire starts, he will not be able to retreat once the fire starts.
final.
Of all the Qin troops that entered the city, only one in ten survived.
Since Zhao Feng was the supreme general, besides winning, his other task was to keep his soldiers alive as much as possible.
Time passed! Only half an hour.
There were already raging fires in various places in Yanggao City, and the fire spread rapidly. All kinds of flammable materials were piled up everywhere in the city, and they would catch fire at any time.
"How could it go off accidentally?"
"Why did it suddenly go off?"
"Oh no, the fire is coming."
"Run away!"
"Ah...save me, save me..."
"Run to the back of the city, run quickly... The fire is coming, most of the city is on fire."
“Hurry up…”
As the fire spread.
The whole city was filled with desperate and mournful wails.
It wasn't just one wailing, but a wailing that was spread all over the city.
The pain of being burned by fire is something almost no one can endure.
Countless Wei soldiers in the city were burned into flames by the raging fire and struggled frantically to escape, but to no avail.
Even the rear gate of Yanggao City.
It was crowded with countless fleeing Wei troops.
"Open the city gate, open the city gate quickly."
"Let us out."
"Let us out."
"The fire is coming."
“Hurry up…”
Countless Wei soldiers crowded towards the city gate, completely huddled together, all wanting to escape this purgatory of burning fire.
But the city gate was completely blocked.
And everyone was crowded together, making it impossible to escape.
And outside the rear city of Yanggao.
The sounds of screaming, wailing and crying came from the city.
This did not impress Long Zhang.
Even though the Wei generals behind him were somewhat reluctant, they were mostly helpless and unable to change the situation.
Long Zhang rode on his horse with no expression on his face, looking coldly at Yanggao City which was completely engulfed in fire.
Billowing black smoke rose into the sky, covering the sky with a layer of dark clouds.
The pungent black smoke not only had the pungent smell of cigarettes, but also the smell of burnt barbecue. One could imagine how many people had been killed and how many lives had been burned by this fire.
"Your Majesty's plan."
"It's done."
"The Qin army has completely entered the city, even Zhao Feng is in the city."
"Let this fire go."
"At least 200,000 Qin troops must be burned to death."
"The Qin State's Wu'an Camp is abandoned."
"The fate of our great Wei nation has been preserved."
"Just wait until this fire is over."
"I can lead 50,000 elite troops into Qin territory and counterattack Qin."
"As long as the counterattack is launched."
"The State of Chu will certainly not sit idly by and will certainly send troops to attack Qin."
"Suddenly, Chu's dispatch of troops will trigger a chain reaction, and Qi and Yan will also get a piece of the pie."
"Qin, there is nothing to fear anymore."
"Your Majesty's plan can not only reverse the fate of our Great Wei, but also help us revive our Great Wei." Long Zhang was extremely excited at this moment.
