      The King of the Warring States Era - Long Zhu

      ENDING)

      CHAPTER 901 - QIN ARMY COVER

      In order to make the plan come true, Bai Qi did not tell the truth to the Korean Army in the alliance. He also had most of the Korean Army behind the palace hall attract Zhao Jun's killing power, which was why, the more the Korean Army fled, the more the Zhao Army chased after them relentlessly.

      Ten miles away, was the great army of one hundred and fifty thousand under Zhao Cheng's command. The army was vast, the Armour was sonorous, their formations was neat and orderly, and with the conviction of a great defeat Qin and Han Allied Forces, they chased after.

      Another five kilometers away, after Gao Xin led the hundred thousand strong army to take back the Light Wolf City, he left one person to take twenty thousand men to tidy up the city's defenses. The other eighty thousand men continued to chase after the empty barricade.

      By this time, Bai Qi and the other generals had already arrived at the high wall of Changping Village. When they saw Zhao Jun's vanguard army rushing towards them, they felt that it was enough and immediately issued the order to ambush them.

      In an instant, Meng Bi led two thousand Iron Eagle Swordsmen and five thousand Black Armored Soldiers and charged out from the middle of the formation, slicing Zhao Cheng's army into two and completely breaking the formation. At the same time, the tens of thousands of Qin Army who were ambushing Zhao Cheng at the edge of the sky barricade attacked and blocked Gao Xin's army at the back, making it hard for Gao Xin and Zhao Cheng to gather.

      With a huge movement, Meng Ao's army who was hiding in the valley to the southeast of Light Wolf City also rushed out, blocking Zhao Jun's way. They completely cut off the 300 thousand strong army's communication with the camp of the third barrier, and at the same time, the Qin Army's elites who were hiding in the houses and caves came out as well.

      The only way in front of them was through a continuous wall of earth. Combining with the terrain on top of the mountain, the three sides of the wall was equivalent to a dead end, bringing Zhao Jun into a desperate situation.

      Oh no, I've fallen into a trap. At this moment, Zhao Cheng came to a realization as she broke out in a cold sweat from fright. She had fallen into the trap of the Tiger and Wolf Qin Army, one could only imagine how miserable her fate would be.

      Zhao Yu, lead the vanguard troops to attack the barrier ahead, stall Qin Fang's forces. This marshal will bring the central troops and break through immediately! Zhao Cheng immediately made a decision and wanted to give the order to break out, but with 150,000 troops in the center and 60,000 people cut off, there were only 80,000 people left. The formation was in chaos and they suddenly had to turn around to retreat, causing it to be even more chaotic.

      Suddenly, from the three sides of the barrier, the sound of drumming could be heard. The Qin Army s attacked in pairs and interrupted Zhao Jun's phalanx in order to separate the hundred thousand warriors into groups.

      In less than a day, the three hundred thousand soldiers were divided into several sections. After being cut apart by the Qin Army, their heads and tails could not connect, making it difficult for them to converge.

      The Korean Army general gasped heavily as he ran up the city wall and the mountain slope. Looking outside the barrier, he saw that many of the Zhao Jun were surrounded by the Qin Army, he was extremely surprised.

      It was a huge loss, but only now did they faintly understand that they did not seem to understand the fighting style of the Qin Army. They had always been in the dark, and had been tricked by the Qin Army, but luckily, the Qin Army made a fatal counterattack at the last moment, and defeated Zhao Jun. Otherwise, the three hundred thousand men would have gone after the.

      So Qin Army had set up an ambush a long time ago.

      Qin Zhao is a powerful marquis of War Country. In this competition, I'm afraid Zhao Nation will suffer a crushing defeat.

      The few Korean generals were all sighing with emotion. Looking at the situation today, in the future, both Han and Zhao would not have the strength to fight the Qin Nation alone.

      Bai Qi stood on the high platform and ordered the encirclement of Zhao Jun, but he did not attack for the time being. After all, there were still many people in the army, and if they attacked now, the morale of the troops would rise, and they would retaliate with all their might, trapped beasts would fight to the death with enough casualties among the Qin Army. The most important thing was to surround the army, because they were in a rush, they could not break out of the encirclement without food and fodder, and after a few days, without food, they would soon surrender.

      It had to be said that Bai Qi's strategy was extremely brilliant. He would put down Zhao Jun's morale, weaken his physical strength and slowly torture the fighting spirit of Zhao Jun's soldiers. Soon, Zhao Jun's steel will completely crumble.

      After Zhao Cheng led his troops and charged forward several times, they lost sight of each other in the chaos, and only had a few thousand personal guards left around them, the rest of their troops had been scattered, left and right, unable to look at each other, trapped in the encirclement, they were all panicking.

      I regret not listening to General Lian Po's words! Zhao Cheng looked and sighed. Seeing that there were only a few thousand people left to chase after Qin Army, she could not help but sigh in regret.

      General Zhao, we need to break out of the encirclement as soon as possible, the food we have is only enough for a few days, we don't have much fresh water, we are trapped in one place with Qin Army as our periphery, the situation is getting worse and worse. If we can gather the scattered troops, we might have the chance to break through the Qin Army's barrier! Wang Li could not help but advise.

      Do we still have a chance to break through?

      General Zhao, military strategy Chang Yun: To put one's life on the line, if we don't try, how would we know?

      Zhao Cheng hesitated for a while, but still mustered up the courage to speak: Alright, husband, we will be defeated, but we have to face death head-on and charge out, regardless of the outcome!

      After passing down the order, the thousands of soldiers ate their rations and drank their water. Then, they began to break out of the encirclement around the Qin Army in one go.

      Kill — — Zhao Jun became ruthless and rushed towards Qin Army.

      Meng Yu was in charge of trapping this group of people. He knew that there was a commander of the Zhao Family inside. If he escaped or joined forces with Zhao Jun and the others in the encirclement, it would result in a series of mutinous reactions.

      Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

      Countless arrows rained down, covering thousands of Zhao Jun's personal guards. In less than an hour, everyone had been shot to the ground, Zhao Cheng's heart was pierced by arrows, he was killed on the spot.

      The Qin Army used three to four hundred thousand people to trap Zhao Jun and the others in a formation. Ten days later, Zhao Jun was so hungry that he could not take it anymore.

      Meng Ao led his soldiers and broke through the third line of defense. In fact, the majority of the troops were already in action, there were only thirty thousand of troops stationed there. Without the general leading, they were unable to stop the fierce attacks of the Qin Army, while the remaining seventy to eighty thousand people were all fodder for the transportation of food without fighting strength.

      When Bai Qi heard that Zhao Jun had finally surrendered and the third line of defense had been broken, he was overjoyed. He immediately ordered for Zhao Jun to be separated from the rest to guard the area, and then summoned Meng Ao, Sima Yu, Meng Bi and the others to discuss how to plan the next attack on Zhao Zhice.

      Commander, now there are three hundred thousand soldiers down, and another seventy to eighty thousand soldiers, what should we do with these people? If we attack the Zhao Nation, what if they attack us instead of cutting us off? Furthermore, if we were to raise three to four hundred thousand people, where would we get so much food? " Meng Ao asked worriedly.

      Sima Yu sighed: Yes, these people are all soldiers of the Zhao Nation, they are ruthless, even if we send them back to the Qin Nation, with the hatred between Qin and Zhao, these people would never submit to us, the Great Qin, if placed in Lao Qin's land, they would become troublesome, so let them go, they ran back to the Handan, picked up their weapons, and are our enemies!

      Seeing as it's not a bet, and not letting it go, it's really hard to do! Meng Bi shook his head in worry.

      Bai Qi frowned, he was also thinking about how to deal with the soldiers. For the past few days, there was no result, but to strike Zhao while it was hot, if he missed the chance and the Zhao Nation conscripted more troops, or asked Yan, Chu and Wei to assist, the Qin Army would have a hard time breaching the Handan.

      CHAPTER 902 - PUMMELING

      Bai Qi carefully considered the suggestions put forward by the generals. In fact, he had been worrying about the downfall of the army these past few days, and escorting them to the Qin Nation was an uneasy factor; if the cage was present, then the food consumption for the three hundred thousand soldiers would be enormous. He did not have any obligation to support them.

      Releasing them was even more impossible, because once these hundreds of thousands of Zhao Nation's elites were released, they would return to the Handan and pick up their weapons.

      The only way left was to kill them all on the spot!

      However, with over three hundred thousand soldiers and seventy to eighty thousand strong people, it would still take many days for them to be beheaded and slaughtered. Furthermore, letting the Qin Army soldiers slaughter these unarmed people was a bit cruel and shook the morale of the troops.

      If they could exterminate these four hundred thousand people, then the Zhao Nation's military might would plummet, to the point where there wouldn't be many males left in this three million people in the entire country. This way, the Zhao Nation would be weakened, and they wouldn't be far from the country's destruction!

      Bai Qi struggled internally for a moment before he finally steeled his heart. His face was filled with hostility.

      Since he was an enemy soldier, and also had to face a huge decision, the Qin Army needed to quickly invade the Battle Country and use the fame to swindle and kill Zhao Jun, making the people of Zhao scared, and surrender obediently, just so that it fit the interests of the Qin Nation.

      Commander, please give the order on how to make the decision! Meng Ao, Sima Yu and the rest were discussing by the side for a long time, but were unable to see Bai Qi speak, so they could only ask.

      Bai Qi's gaze turned sharp and he narrowed his eyes. With a hint of viciousness and decisiveness, he spat out only four words, Kill them all!

      What? When the trusted generals heard this, they were all shocked. Four hundred thousand people for all of them to kill?

      Without these elites, the Zhao Nation can only gather up a maximum of two hundred thousand troops from the rear. At that time, with the power and momentum of killing four hundred thousand soldiers of the army, we will be able to sweep away all the dukes, take over the Handan, and annex the Battle Empire. When the next year's emperor sends out his troops, he will have to turn around and deal with Wei Han and take all the three places in the Jin area into the territory of the Qin Nation. The world is mine now! "

      Meng Ao, Sima Yu, Meng Bi, Meng Yu, Bai Shan, Qin Xuewen and the other generals were stunned for a good while before they regained their senses.

      Commander, killing all four hundred thousand of them, isn't that a bit too cruel?

      In this world of great war, if Qin wants to unite the other five kingdoms, then we have to annihilate their main forces and sweep away all the dukes. This isn't the time to be merciful, we're the only ones who don't kill the common people and only kill the soldiers, what's wrong with that? Both the slaughter and the battle on the battlefield have to do with each other's deaths, is there any difference? Bai Qi's gaze swept across the generals and everyone immediately gave up.

      A moment later, Meng Ao cupped his hands together and said: I agree with the general's decision, if we do not settle these soldiers down properly, it is because of the unease, and will cause a ruckus at any time. Furthermore, the rate of food consumption is too fast, in a few days, all of our food supplies for the past half month will be exhausted, the food received from the Qin Nation will need some time, and if this goes on, our soldiers will be hungry, and our morale will drastically change.

      Meng Bi cupped his fists and said: We are all Lao Qin's people, and have always received military merits according to the level of our heads, going to the battlefield is akin to killing the enemy, and since Zhao Jun is incapable of surrendering, then we must prepare for our sacrifices, these people, should be killed —

      After a while, all the generals of the Qin Nation came to the same conclusion, they felt that the most direct and effective way to subdue the army was to kill them all. Especially the culture of the Qin Nation, which had always been influenced by the minority of the Chiron, the bloodline and culture of the half-Raudi of the Central Plains.

      The soldiers of the Qin Nation were the first and only ones who encouraged the soldiers to cut down their heads in order to achieve merits. This kind of disrespecting the heads of the dead, obliterating humanity, treating people like grass and straw, these thoughts had created the iron will of the army of the Qin Nation. This kind of advantage made the army of the Qin Nation the most overbearing, brave, and ruthless of the seven heroes.

      This was also an important reason why the Qin Nation was able to reunite the six nations in history, but quickly collapsed!

      The culture of a country determines its national destiny and lifeline.

      Bai Qi, the famous general of the Warring States, had finally made a decision that would affect his life and change his fate. This decision had made him known as the 'God of Slaughter'.

      Next, Bai Qi discussed with the rest of the generals about how to kill Zhao Jun. The main goal was to separate the troops and form a few small formations with thousands to tens of thousands of people in each formation. After that, they would split up and shoot, dig out a large hole and fill it up.

      After Bai Qi secretly gave the order to the various battalions to organize the manpower to dig the large earth pit, they separated very far away and then carried Zhao Jun away wave after wave. They suddenly attacked and completely massacred, before throwing him into the large earth pit.

      Don't, let us go …

      We are the soldiers that fell, we can't be tricked into killing us like this …

      Qin Army, you are worse than pigs and dogs, you have no humanity …

      When Zhao Jun was being slaughtered and buried alive, he let out a scream of despair and a mournful curse.

      After working busily for seven days, he had finally managed to bring down over three hundred thousand men from Zhao Jun and killed seventy to eighty thousand men from Zhao Jun.

      Bai Qi and the generals of Qin Army stood silently above the dozens of holes that had been filled.

      At this moment, a gust of autumn wind blew, and there seemed to be faint cries that shook the heavens and earth. Dark clouds billowed, and the souls of the dead lingered on.

      Wuwuwu ~ ~ ~

      There were too many ghosts and too many evil spirits that couldn't disperse. From the ten square kilometers of the crater, the sound of ghosts wailing and wolves howling could be heard.

      If ordinary people came close, they would definitely be invaded by this yin aura and lose their minds.

      However, Bai Qi was not afraid. He stood in the middle of one of the large pits and coldly shouted, A bunch of dead ghosts! While you are alive, this marshal was not afraid at all. Do I really have to be afraid of all of you?

      Following that, Bai Qi gave the order, the three armies began beating their drums, the hundred thousand Qin Army warriors lined up in a square formation and walked through dozens of huge pits, shouting out loud, the Armour was loud, the hundred thousand elite soldiers' blood Qi surged into the dragon, the masculine Qi soared up, instantly dispersing a lot of the Yin Qi.

      Hmph, pass down the order, the three armies are on their way, kill their way into the State of Zhao and rush straight to Handan! Bai Qi let out a cold snort and pointed his sword towards the north, towards the direction of the Zhao Nation.

      The horn to set off sounded, and fifty thousand Qin Army began to move forward, led by Meng Ao. They moved towards the Zhao Territory without stopping.

      Bai Qi brought two hundred thousand soldiers of the Central Army to stand in the middle, while Sima Yu brought fifty thousand to the rear of the palace, and three hundred thousand troops attacked the Zhao Nation, leaving behind Bai Shan and a hundred thousand people of the Qin Army to guard the empty Cang Ling and the Light Wolf City's area, protecting the back of the Qin Army.

      A few days later, the news of Bai Qi killing four hundred thousand soldiers of Zhao Jun had spread like wildfire, shocking the other five kingdoms' dukes!

      CHAPTER 903 - TALKING ABOUT THE COLOR CHANGE OF QIN AND QIN

      In Changping's battle, the news of Bai Qi destroying Zhao Jun and slaughtering four hundred thousand soldiers quickly spread throughout the Central Plains dukes. Immediately, like a clap of thunder, it rumbled through the land, shaking the entire region.

      This matter had too big of an impact, and at the same time, the impression of the Qin Army being fierce, ruthless, heartless, and cold-blooded, couldn't be erased.

      The first to receive the news was from the Zhao Nation. Originally, a few days ago, the Handan had heard that Zhao Cheng's troops had been killed, and several tens of thousands of soldiers had been captured, causing great shock in the Zhao Nation. They were all worried that the Qin Nation would fight them, and many of the wealthy armored merchants closed their shops, preparing to escape and seek refuge with the other Marquis.

      Many great noble families and old officials all went to the palace to offer suggestions, asking King Zhao to ask for peace, giving the land to Qin, releasing the four hundred thousand soldiers to save their strength, but before Zhao He, Fei Yi and the rest could even discuss it, they already knew that the four hundred thousand soldiers had been tricked to death.

      This news immediately enveloped Handan with a layer of dark clouds. It was impossible to get rid of it, and everyone's heart was covered in dark clouds.

      The main force of 400,000 has been sacrificed just like that! Zhao He was dumbstruck, unable to believe it.

      Fei Yi's face was pale white as he said, "Qin Nation Bai Qi is crazy. Four hundred thousand soldiers, unarmed, were actually all killed.

      Li Dui was also alarmed: The Qin Army has already invaded the borders of the Zhao Nation, they are only three hundred Li away from the Handan. After we pass through the Middle Mou City, there will be a flat plain behind us.

      Zhao He was anxious: Hurry up and summon the Duke of Qin's teacher to assist us!

      Fei Yi sighed bitterly: The Zhao Nation has 500,000 regular soldiers, so far, only 100,000 are stationed at the border, the rest of the towns in the city still have some village soldiers, I need the order to recruit strong men to protect the Handan, if not, the Zhao Nation would truly be powerful!

      Alright, alright, quickly draft an imperial edict to recruit new soldiers from the entire nation. Impede the Qin Army's invasion!

      Lin Xiangru said sorrowfully: "That's right, in the entire Zhao Nation, there are only around a million strong men who are between the ages of seventeen and sixty who are able to fight, and there are less than seven hundred thousand who are able to instantly kill four hundred thousand. Even if all the strong men of the entire country were to gather, it would not be more than three hundred thousand.

      Everyone was silent. Qin Army's example of killing had already made them very strong, all the dukes in the world were terrified, all of the 400 thousand of Zhao Nation's elite soldiers were suddenly massacred, who would dare to enlist in the Zhao Nation's army? At least many people would run away from military service, towards Yan Wei, or into the mountains and forests.

      At this time, Zhao He's mind was blank, and he had no other ideas. When he suddenly saw Zheng Anping, he could not help but ask, Zheng Qing, do you have a plan to break through the enemy's plan to save the nation?

      Zheng Anping stood up and said bitterly, Your Majesty, the most important thing to do is to get reinforcements!

      Ask for help?

      I believe that Wei, Yan and Chu would be very scared if they found out about this news. They are all afraid that after Qin Nation destroyed Zhao, they would stand firmly in the Central Plains, and then swallow down and attack these few nations. Right now, Qin Nation has gone mad, and cannot be judged by common sense.

      That's right, send envoys to Yan, Wei, Chu, and other places as soon as possible. No matter what request you have, you must request for the three dukes to set off to suppress the Qin Army and save my Big Zhao!

      A chill ran down your spine. If Yan Wei Chu and the other two dukes weren't stupid, they would have been able to see the power wielded by the Qin Nation. Not just any duke could fight them alone. This Bai Qi is truly the god of slaughter of the Warring States!

      … ….

      The Daliang City of the Wei Country.

      When King Wei Xiang and the other ministers heard that Bai Qi had defeated Zhao Jun and killed four hundred thousand soldiers, they were all shocked.

      It was true that dukes fought and fought, and that their mortal enemies had rendered meritorious deeds. However, to be able to kill so many unarmed soldiers in an instant was too immoral. It was as if they didn't even regard dukes as human beings!

      This kind of heinous act immediately incited many of the ministers and generals of the Wei Kingdom to denounce him harshly. They all suggested that they should save Zhao Nation, otherwise, when the Qin Army exterminated the Zhao Nation, their next target would be their next-door neighbor Wei Yan.

      Thinking about the three hundred thousand Qin Army s that were above Wei Guo, everyone shuddered. They were afraid that the master of the Qin Army would attack Wei Guo at any moment.

      This Bai Qi is a madman!

      The Qin Nation wants to exterminate all of our dukes. If the battle is going to end, and the battle is going to end, then we might as well fight to the end!

      It's better to break than to let —

      The ministers of the Wei Kingdom were all filled with righteous indignation, and hated the atrocities committed by the Qin Nation deeply. Through this incident, they seemed to have seen the cold-blooded nature of the Qin Army, and their next target was most likely the Wei Army.

      After some discussion, King Wei decided to send Xin Yuanyan to lead 150,000 elite warriors to Wei Han Zhao's place, preparing to cut off Qin Army's retreat at any time.

      … ….

      When Chen Ling heard the news, he smiled mysteriously. This Bai Qi had not misjudged him!

      Although the direction of history had changed, it only changed the general direction. As for many places and environments, there weren't too much changes, so some historical figures weren't affected. Thus, they would still act according to their own code of conduct, character, and background to handle matters.

      Although Bai Qi was young, he was still Bai Qi. He was the famous god of death in history!

      Sure enough, Bai Qi had tricked and killed four hundred thousand men from Zhao Jun, breaking the balance in the Warring States.

      Not to mention the Yan Army, Zhao Jun was second only to the Qin Army in terms of bravery and valor, and had lost four hundred thousand men, which meant that the Zhao Nation was finished. The remaining troops, when combined, only amounted to two hundred thousand, they would not be able to stop the Qin Army's attack.

      After Qin Army withdrew her net, the Yan Army could also withdraw his net.

      This was what mantis stalks cicadas, while the oriole was right behind it!

      When that time came, the three hundred thousand Qin Army s would have a life and death battle with the two hundred thousand strong Zhao Army. In the end, when they destroyed the Zhao Nation, Chen Ling believed that Wei and Chu would send their troops to attack Qin, to hinder the Qin Army, and to exert pressure on them. At that time, the three sides of the Qin Army, the hundred thousand Steel Cavalry and Elite Warriors of the Yanjing, would be able to swallow all of the three hundred thousand Qin Army s and destroy the entire Zhao Nation along the way.

      This game had been beautifully arranged!

      Chen Ling stood in front of a gigantic map of the continent, quietly looking at the borders of the Zhao Nation. As long as he took down the Zhao Nation and swallowed all of these Qin Army, then almost all of the land north of the Yellow River would fall into the hands of the Yan Nation, and then, he would snatch over Wei Chu's territory from the Qi Dong Peninsula.

      CHAPTER 904 - PERSUADE OTHER COUNTRIES TO JOIN

      Bai Qi used the momentum of killing four hundred thousand of his men and used his lightning fast speed to lead his men to attack the border fortress of Zhao Nation. In a row, he captured more than ten city s, and continued to close in on Handan.

      This time, the inside of the Handan was in complete chaos. Many merchants and nobles tried to escape, especially the businesses in the Yan Nation. Almost at the same time, all kinds of supplies and supplies were cut off, including food, oil, and daily necessities.

      Suddenly, the price of the Handan skyrocketed. The citizens were in a difficult situation, and they had the feeling that they were about to destroy the entire country.

      When King Wuling of Zhao was still alive, the Battle Empire was on the rise, but had never experienced such an oppressive and apocalyptic situation. In that moment, the citizens were all complaining and started discussing about the new ruler, Zhao He, with no ability at all. They killed their father and brothers, persecuted their good subjects, and in the end, caused the Zhao Nation to face such a crisis.

      This rumor spread everywhere, and under the deliberate instigation of some people, it became uncontrollable. It spread from the Handan, to the surrounding city, all the way to the distant towns, to the borders, disintegrating the cohesion of the Zhao Nation. Everyone was disappointed with the government.

      The people of Zhao Nation had lost their hearts, if they wanted to have something to do, it would be difficult for them to put up a resistance.

      Kong Qing brought one hundred thousand elites from the border army and rushed back. At the same time, all the local army were mobilized and stationed outside the Handan. One hundred thousand soldiers were garrisoned inside the city to defend against the Qin Army for the last time.

      Meng Ao and Meng Bi were the first to fight with Zhao Jun. Both sides were at loggerheads, and with the help of the war drums and horn, they started to fight.

      Outside of Handan, the last elites of the Qin Army's Armoured Cavalry and Zhao Jun's army were fighting bitterly with each other.

      In the blink of an eye, the two armies were in a fierce battle, the golden armored cavalry and the piles of corpses were everywhere, the sound of blood flowing and killing shook the sky. The remaining elite soldiers of the Zhao Army were fighting fiercely against the Qin Army, wanting to avenge their four hundred thousand comrades, but the Qin Army was ruthless, and was not afraid of Zhao Jun's retaliation and revenge at all.

      This battle had left the sky and the earth in darkness. Sand and stones flew everywhere, and the scene was appalling to the extreme. It was just like an Asura purgatory in the mortal world.

      From the early evening of the morning until the late afternoon, when the Qin Army had lost thirty to forty thousand people, Zhao Jun had lost almost that much.

      The next day, Bai Qi personally took charge of the situation and changed to the main force of 100,000 soldiers. He continued to fight against the elite soldiers of the Zhao Army outside the city and also exhausted tens of thousands of troops. At this time, the main force of the army outside the city had already lost 70,000-80,000 people and was no longer able to fight in a large-scale battle, so they were forced to retreat and enter Handan.

      Zhao He, Fei Yi, Li Dui and the others who were standing at the top of the city walls were so scared by the strong stench of blood and the intense might of the battlefield. Their faces changed drastically and their bodies trembled.

      Right now, the only hope for the Qin Army troops was to rely on the reinforcements of Yan, Chu and Wei.

      The night was hazy, and the Qin Army was like a receding tide.

      Zheng Anping avoided ears and eyes, and brought some food and wine to the dungeon to visit Lian Po.

      General Liam, how have you been?

      Lian Po looked at Zheng Anping and knew that he was one of King Zhao's trusted aides. Now that he knew that four hundred thousand Zhao Jun had been killed, he had completely given up on the new Monarch Zhao He's faction. Could it be that the unconscious Lord Zhao wants to kill me? "

      General Liam has such a big temper, hehe, I came to see you tonight, but it's just my own actions, not King Zhao's?

      Oh, what do you mean? Lian Po's hands and feet were being shackled, and he asked suspiciously.

      The people of Zheng admire General Lian Po's talent, and appreciated his strategy of defending the Qin Army. At first, they thought that General Lian Po was afraid of the Qin Army so he decided not to fight, but they did not expect that the General Liam would drag the Qin Army down with him. Sigh, it's a pity that King Zhao did not recognize any of the famous generals, and that caused the Zhao Nation to end up like this!

      Hearing that, Lian Po's anger decreased a little, he picked up a cup of wine and drank it up, he was not worried about whether there was poison, in any case, he was trapped in this death prison, and there was no hope of survival.

      Now, the Qin Army has hit the Handan?

      That's right. After trapping the Handan, it won't be ten days before the Handan falls. The entire capital is in chaos.

      After Lian Po heard this, his eyes filled with tears. He let out a deep sigh, lifted the bottle of wine, and drank it again.

      Zheng Anping also drank a cup and lamented: "The Handan is already unable to hold on, the Zhao Nation is in danger, it is very likely that, like the Qi Nation, it will instantly collapse and perish, disappearing into the river of history. This is the fate of the, ah, a world of great struggles, intense and cruel, the day of one under the heavens will arrive.

      remained silent and nodded his head. There was a time when he was full of ambitions, wanting to help the Zhao Nation carve out a territory for him and build a place for himself in the sect. But he did not expect that with such a young and decadent King Zhao, the battle at Changping had completely destroyed his chance to rule over the entire Zhao Nation.

      What are General Liam's plans for the future? Zheng Anping couldn't help asking.

      Lian Po laughed self-mockingly, What good plan do I have for a prisoner like me to be beheaded by the imperial government, or to be beheaded after the Qin Army breaks the wall?!

      Zheng Anping sighed: General Lian Po, the proverbs say that a good bird chooses a tree, in truth, as long as you don't want to die, there is a way for you to survive.

      What do you mean? Lian Po frowned and asked.

      Zheng Anping lowered his voice and said, There is a marquis who praises you so much. He wants to save you at all costs!

      Lian Po was shocked, he was already waiting for his punishment for death to happen, but hearing that someone was trying to save him, his heart immediately became cold and cold. Who would be willing to die if they didn't die? He was still wronged and killed for no reason. Of course, he wasn't willing to accept this.

      Oh, which Emperor wants to save me?

      Zheng Anping smiled slightly and said, I haven't said it yet, but someone found me and brought me to the prison to see you. They wanted to ask if General Lian Po can still eat, and if he has the ambition to lead troops to rule the world.

      Can you still eat? Haha, Lian Po is still young, and his ambition is not to die, but to be able to eat eight bowls of rice, and have just filled his stomach!

      That's good. I wonder if the General Liam is going to another country to repay this foreign country?

      Lian Po, Pang Juan, Zhang Yi, which one of the three great dukes didn't display their talent, these famous people don't have any small countries in their hearts, and what they pretend to be is the world. If there is a duke who values Lian Po, then Lian Po will do his best to help the Lord!

      Zheng Anping stroked his beard and laughed, There is nothing that you don't have. People do everything they can to survive. Now that the Battle Country is on the verge of destruction, those who have ambition should go to somewhere else. General Liam can be at ease, in a few days, there will naturally be people coming to save them.

      CHAPTER 905 - HANDAN BREAK

      Bai Qi commanded over 200,000 Qin Army s to continuously attack the Handan. As long as the city was destroyed, their goal of dying in battle would be achieved, and when more and more Qin Army arrived, they would be able to occupy the Zhao Nation, and there would be a springboard to eliminate Wei Wei, and the Zhao Nation would be located at the border with Lao Qin in the west of the river.

      The four walls of the Handan were encircled, and the sounds of killing shook the skies. Countless soldiers were killed every day.

      At this time, the Handan was already in a mess. All the nobles and royals were trapped in the imperial city, unable to break out of the encirclement.

      Some of the older officials had written to ask for an immediate pardon to Ma Zhenjun and for Zhao She to be their commander. They wanted to take charge of the heavy responsibility of the city s defense, and many of the older nobles and ministers had forced the decision onto the city. Otherwise, they would have to leave the city and surrender, leaving Zhao He helpless.

      Zhao She had been bored at home the entire time, so after activating it, there were only seventy to eighty thousand people left in the city. Even if he was a famous general, facing the more than two hundred thousand mighty Qin Army, it would be difficult for him to have the power to reverse the situation.

      As time passed, half a month later, the Handan was already in a precarious situation and could be destroyed at any time.

      Outside the Handan, on the battlefield filled with blood and flames, were soldiers who had charged into battle while shouting carnage. There were corpses lying on the ground in a pool of blood, and they would never get up again …

      If one looked down from the top of the city, they would see patches of black armor pressing down on the city. If one looked down from the top of the city, they would see patches of black armor pressing down on the city.

      Boom, boom, boom ~ ~ ~

      The catapult continued to throw rocks at the city walls and the city walls, creating an explosive sound as it crashed. The city shook from the impact and was riddled with holes, causing the defenders to turn pale with fear. They were worried that the city might collapse at any moment and not be able to withstand the Black Armored Army's onslaught.

      Rows after rows of arrows rained down like locusts towards the top of the city walls. Under the barrage of attacks, the warriors of the Qin Army tried to suppress the defense line and climbed to the top of the city walls to fight with Zhao Jun, attacking the city walls and taking down the Handan.

      Bai Qi, Meng Ao and the others also watched the battle seriously. Although they still had the initiative, they were running out of time, because they had just received the news that Wei and Chu had already sent reinforcements and sent the Chu Army to attack the Qin Nation's martial gate, preventing a portion of the Qin Nation's troops from coming over.

      That was the rear road of the Qin Army. If they were to be cut off by the Wei Army, then this group of Qin Army would go all the way in. After the rear food was cut off, there was no food in front of them, and it would be hard for them to leave.

      The Pingyuan's Zhao Sheng, Lin Xiangru and other wise men were still mobilizing the citizens of the city. Regardless of whether it was men, women, or children, they were all mobilized to defend the city.

      Finally, on the twentieth day of the siege, a city gate of the Handan lost his head as fierce Qin Army soldiers rushed in and slaughtered their way through one of the gates. Like a dam, it instantly collapsed and caused the defending troops inside the city to be suppressed as they retreated step by step.

      The city is broken, let's run for our lives!

      The Handan is broken, the Zhao Nation is about to die …

      Many people screamed in agony, followed by miserable screams and cries. Qin Army had already rushed in and started slaughtering the city, it was too horrible to look at.

      Many ministers fled in panic, hiding in the dry wells and cellars of their homes. Some nobles even hanged themselves, knowing that they would not be able to escape this calamity.

      Zhao He stood on top of the palace, looking at the smoke and fire all around the city, his mind was already crumbling. It had only been a few days since he had ascended the throne, and before he had even completed his meritorious deeds, he had caused the destruction of his entire country!

      Fei Yi, Li Dui and the rest all had ashen faces as they sat on the ground. After being attacked by the Qin Army in a moment, their lives would be in danger, and they would not be able to escape death.

      Zheng Anping had already disappeared last night, under the protection of a few Yan Nation spies, he hid inside an inconspicuous house, it had long been excavated underground passage, Lian Po was also rescued and placed here, at the same time a few scholars were tied up.

      Lian Po saw Zheng Anping and had a look of relief. He asked, "The Handan is broken.

      These three seemed to be the only dukes left in the world besides Qin and Han.

      Zheng Anping smiled, General Liam, which duke do you think is the most likely to save us?

      Lian Po replied: King Huai of Chu is lecherous and dissolute, his eyes are shortsighted, if not a person who cherishes talents, he would definitely not save us; King Wei Xiang is lacking in intelligence and ambition, he would not do such a thoughtful thing, only leaving King Yan Zhao, I have heard that the King of Yan is very thirsty, and all the famous people in the world are here for help. If Lian Po is right, it was most likely because King of Yan sent people to save us —

      Zheng Anping laughed, It's pretty much there. From now on, we are all subjects of the Yan Nation.

      In less than half a day, the Qin Army who had attacked the Handan entered the palace and massacred many ministers. They captured King Zhao Huiwen, Zhao He, and some other sons of the royal family and escorted them back to the Qin Nation, waiting for the orders of the King of Qin and the empress dowager. After all, they did not have the authority to kill the dukes and monarchs of a country.

      Bai Qi, Meng Ao, Sima Yu, Meng Bi and the rest entered the Handan and ordered the three armies to wash the city for three days before snatching away the wealth, provisions, women and slaves, preparing to transport them to the Qin Nation as spoils of war.

      Meng Ao was overjoyed: Haha, White General, we have finally broken through the capital of Zhao Nation and destroyed Zhao Zhaoting. There are still some other city in the northern part of the Zhao Nation.

      Bai Qi sighed with emotion, At least let us take the lead, even if the Wei Army cuts off the back road, there's no harm in it. As long as we have sufficient provisions, we can link up with the camp of the Qin Army on the west side of the Taihang Mountains. At that time, the Zhao Nation will be our headquarters in the Central Plains.

      The generals were excited. This time, the journey was very smooth, and in just a few months time, they had captured the Zhao Nation Royal City. All the nobles and royalty were in control of the city, and there was no need to worry about the descendants of the royal families going against the Qin Empire in the city.

      Just then, a scout ran over and reported that an army from the north was charging towards Handan.

      Zhao Jun or Yan Army? Meng Ao asked.

      Blue colored armor and banner, they are Yan Army, with a large number of people, the vanguard consisted of a cavalry of one color, with a total of 50,000 people! The army at the back is endless, there are a lot of horses and soldiers."

      Bai Qi frowned and said, Yan Army came at this time?

      Sima Yu cupped his fists and said: "This weak Yan is still dishonest. White General, let this lowly general lead the cavalry to meet the enemy.

      Bai Yu nodded his head, not putting the weaker Yan Army in his eyes, and said: General Sima, I shall allow you to bring all your cavalry to fight the enemy head on, annihilating and annihilating the vanguard cavalry of the Yan Army, and let the Yan Army know the difficulties of retreating!

      CHAPTER 906 - HEAVEN GATE EIGHT LOCK ARRAY

      He was the only young Chief General of the Yan Nation, and had a large scale battle experience. Although he was not as famous as Bai Qi and Lian Po in terms of history, he was still similar to Meng Tian, Wei Qing, Li Guang and the others, and was a famous general who was between a genius and the heavens.

      Bai Qi was indeed famous, but since he had just killed four hundred thousand soldiers and taken over Handan, he did not understand much about the Yan Nation's cavalry. Thus, he looked down on the Yan Army and had a weakness in underestimating him.

      Sima Yu brought forty fifty thousand Qin Army Knights, a lack of horses and even acquired a batch from the Handan's Zhao Jun. They were also sent to the battlefield and gathered to a total of fifty thousand people, forming a geese walking array and a conical array, two types of cavalry array that were easy to attack.

      The ancients were very particular about arranging formations, and generally speaking, they had to consider several elements, such as the position of the commanders; the arrangement of the weapons in the formations, how to match the different speeds of the troops; whether the terrain was favorable for the deployment of the troops, the weapons and types of troops, as well as the level of training of the enemy troops.

      The cavalry's spell formation was relatively simpler because it relied mainly on the charging force of the war horses, the ability to attack and chase, the ability to sneak attack the encampment, the ability to block the troops' square formation, and so on. It possessed the advantages of flexibility and great killing power, but because in this era there was no stirrup, it was difficult for the cavalry to fight the cavalry completely because of their high skill in riding.

      The Yan Army had a hundred thousand cavalrymen, but this time, only fifty thousand of them were sent out to be the vanguard, which was a type of strategy used by Qin Kai to lure the enemies. Through the intelligence reports, he found out that the number of cavalrymen in the Qin Army only numbered forty to fifty thousand, in order to make the Qin Army relax and come out to fight against the Yan Army in the open field.

      Indeed, Bai Qi, Meng Ao and the others had been tricked, and Sima Yu was allowed to lead all the cavalrymen to the north side of Handan to spread out his array. The twenty thousand men in front would use a conical formation to break through the array of Yan Army.

      The thirty thousand men followed closely behind using the geese array to encircle and encircle Yan Jun Cavalry.

      Just then, the Yan Jun Cavalry arrived, its speed was even faster than she imagined!

      Those ten thousand war horses struggled and whinnied as they galloped across the great desert. It was a spectacular sight that made people's hearts tremble. It was as if layers of dark clouds covered the entire wilderness.

      The first few rows were filled with spear formations, which were easy to attack. It covered up the view behind, but they did not know that the Mo Dao formations that were rolling over from behind all had the same color!

      Most importantly, there was also a plate of heavy armor that was twice as neat as the Qin Army's Iron Eagle Sword Soldiers!

      Charge!

      The vanguard generals of both sides issued the order to charge into the fray. Immediately, two streams of iron armor torrents started charging rapidly towards the opposite side, adding one hundred thousand Steel Cavalry on each side and galloping across the fields. The earth trembled, and ten thousand horses galloped.

      Kill! Kill, kill, kill!

      Black Qin Army, blue Yan Army, cavalry, galloping war horses, a solemn aura.

      Release the arrows!

      Take the bow as an arrow and the arrow as a long arrow. Shoot the enemy first, capture the thief first, capture the king!

      Archers from both sides drew their bows on the horses. They could only fire once, so they had to give up their bows and fight in close quarters.

      However, this arrow of a Knight's was also very important. It was not meant to shoot people, but rather to shoot a horse, causing the opponent to fall and the formation to be disrupted. This kind of charge had a much smaller momentum and power.

      Woosh, woosh, woosh ~ ~ ~

      The knights from Qin Army shot arrows, but did not manage to shoot too many of them away because the other party had long since protected them with their masks. On the other hand, the arrows from Yan Army made him suffer a little.

      What was even more unexpected was that there were 20 chariots surrounded by riders, with iron-backed crossbows on them and two meter long crossbow bolts tied together with explosives. When the gunpowder arrows shot out, they landed in the middle of Qin Army, causing an explosion.

      RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU…!

      The explosion of explosives and the smoke of gunpowder were like a sudden explosion of thunder, shocking the surrounding war horses and knights. The imposing aura which was able to destroy everything in the Qin Army was immediately dispelled, as panic filled the entire place.

      What's going on?

      What happened?

      Qin Army was extremely terrified, and her morale was greatly reduced, but the cavalry of Yan Army, before leaving the battle, had already seen this kind of explosive gunpowder, so they were not afraid, but rather excited, as if they wanted to watch a good show.

      Just as the two sides' cavalry was about to clash with each other, the array of spears in front of Yan Army madly pierced towards it, and the array of Mo Dao began to change!

      On the outside, they were locked together with the Eight Trigrams Ancient Seal, on the inside were the nine palaces of the Heaven Gate, and on the Heaven Gate Eight Lock Formation.

      When wave after wave of Qin Army tore apart the first row of Yan Army Knights, and blindly charged into the Eight Lock Formation at the Heaven Gate, she still did not know about it. She even thought that she had already inserted the pyramid array and the Swallow Formation, and was able to cut the other party apart.

      When tens of thousands of Qin Army s had barged in, they were surrounded by gossip, inner nine palaces, and all of the rings, all of them fighting on their own, all of them fighting on their own, all of them fighting with all of their power, following the Yan Jun Cavalry's formation and rotation, Yan Army Knights with heavy long blades, because their mounts had stirrups, they could use both hands to hold their blades and fight with all their might.

      The Qin Army Knights could only hold onto their weapons with one hand, hold onto their horses' mane with the other, while holding onto their horses' bellies to stabilize their bodies. This way, they would be at a great disadvantage compared to the Yan Army, and if the horses could not run, their pikes and spears would lose their advantage as well, and they would not be as advantageous as when slashing with long blades.

      At this time, Yan Army Swift as Wind, Xu Ruo Lin, invading like fire, unmoving like mountains, it was unknown as Yin, moving like thunder, they held the absolute advantage and started to reap the lives of Qin Army's cavalry.

      The advanced firearms, stirrups, Mo Dao s, armor, and the Heaven Lady's formation were simply the perfect combination. It was the first time it was completely displayed.

      At this moment, even the fiercest Qin Army became helpless. Their morale was low and they were surrounded and killed!

      On the Handan, the generals who were originally watching the battle to see how the Qin Army would defeat the Yan Army were now completely dumbstruck.

      The scene in the distance was akin to Yan Jun Cavalry surrounding and killing Qin Army, swallowing all of them into her stomach. Fifty thousand elite Qin Nation cavalry, it was like they were sinking into a quagmire, unable to pull themselves out of it.

      Seeing this, Bai Qi's face changed. He could not believe what he saw. How could this be a weak Yan Army?

      Since when did the Yan Army become so powerful and tyrannical? Bai Qi turned around and asked Meng Ao, Meng Bi, Bai Shan and the others. His face was filled with astonishment, and he was unable to speak for a long time.

      CHAPTER 907 - MIGHTY YAN ARMY

      The Yan Army revealed her incomparably ferocious side, the cavalry held onto Mo Dao s, and hacked down as she wished. With the support of the stirrups and the advantage of their armor, it was impossible for the Qin Army to block against the Yan Jun Cavalry.

      Sima Yu only had a hundred or so guards left, the rest of the guards were cut off by the array formations, unable to look at each other.

      Kill! Kill! Kill —

      The Yan Army Knights waved the long blades in their hands, and with a unified, powerful and powerful blade sound as their answer, the excited and majestic horn caused the ground to instantly tremble.

      Several hours passed, the Heaven Gate Eight Lock Array kept on shrinking and shifting, becoming tighter and tighter, the Qin Army inside was already more than half dead, the remaining fierce soldiers struggled to break through, the further they went, the more chaotic it became, as though they were surrounded by Yan Army, the blue clothed legion was as deep as the ocean.

      These black Qin Soldier were like a small boat floating in the ocean, trembling and on the verge of destruction.

      In this battle, from early morning until dusk, there was no longer any sound of weapons clashing. Only the mournful howls of the horses could be heard, as almost all of the fifty thousand Qin Army cavalry had been killed.

      Yan Army only suffered less than ten thousand injuries, it was a complete victory.

      The Qin Army did not come out to help because Bai Qi had already seen the tens of thousands of Steel Cavalry and elite soldiers rushing towards them from the back of the battlefield. They were pressing the formation from the back, and once the Qin Army sends out their infantry, the rest of the cavalry and foot soldiers would also come out in full strength.

      No wonder the Yan Army was able to sweep across the entire Dong Hu. So there was such an unrivalled cavalry, it was enough to be considered one of the top six nations, but the Yan Nation had never been shown in front of the dukes of the Central Plains.

      Send down an order to guard the city strictly and prepare to face the attack of the Yan Army!

      After Bai Qi received the order, he returned to the Handan's palace. Thus, the military general also returned to discuss his next battle plan.

      Right now, the situation in the Qin Army was already critical. Because the retreat to the upper echelons of the upper echelons and counties had been cut off by the Wei Army, and the Qin
