Chapter 612: Thanks to the Qin Army Buddy for Sending the Flying Stone! King Qi of Chu’s Head Was Buzzing!

It is different from the Linggu commanding the shield troops and Zhao'an troops to fill in the trenches.

The thunderous sound of war drums resounded through Helu City again after a year!

Huge boulders weighing more than a hundred kilograms flew in the sky, blocking out the late summer sun and bringing winter-like air-conditioning to Helu City in advance!

Thirty thousand Qin and Qi troops trampled on the ground and charged towards the gates of Helu City!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Standing on the gate tower of the northwest city, King Qi of Chu listened to the familiar sound of war drums. His heartbeat was uncontrollably pulled by the war drums, beating violently to the rhythm of the war drums.

"My lord, be careful!"

Xiong Gan suddenly pushed King Chu Qi hard.

The completely defenseless King Qi of Chu was pushed five or six steps away!

Before Chu Wangqi could stand upright, a huge stone suddenly appeared where Chu Wangqi was standing, and came into close contact with the city wall.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, the boulder smashed a dent into the city wall, and then shattered into a large number of sharp stones that shot out in all directions.

"Dang Dang Dang~~"

Looking at the shield soldiers who were walking quickly in front of him, and hearing the sound of the collision between the gravel and the shield, Chu Wangqi finally came back to his senses.

If Xiong dared not push in time just now, I am afraid that King Chu Qi would have turned into a puddle of minced meat!

Sweat gushed out from his pores as if a floodgate had been opened. King Chu Qi looked at Xiong Gan gratefully: "Xiong Aiqing has done a great job in rescuing me!"

"I will definitely reward you generously!"

Xiong Gan didn't care about the reward. He just ran quickly back to King Qi of Chu and persuaded him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Qin-Qi coalition has officially begun to attack the city."

"Your Majesty also knows how powerful the catapult built by Lord Chang'an is."

"It's not a good place to stay for a long time!"

Zhaocen, who saw King Qi of Chu in distress, also ran over quickly and repeatedly persuaded: "The Qin-Qi coalition has launched a strong attack!"

"I ask the king to go back to the palace for a while!"

King Qi of Chu smiled, shook his head, and spoke loudly: "The soldiers are all fighting to the death, how can I retreat?"

"Soldiers are not afraid of death, and I am not afraid of death either!"

"I will watch helplessly as my officers and soldiers of Great Chu fight bravely to kill the enemy. I will see the heroic posture of each soldier in my eyes!"

"I will be with my soldiers!"

As the guards spread Chu King Qi's words to the surroundings, the morale of the Chu army, which had been alienated by Ying Chengyu and was in disarray, began to recover.

If King Qi of Chu is willing to fight to the death with them and bear the risk of death in battle.

Then the soldiers who blocked the King of Chu from returning to Qin to serve as prime ministers would not look like clowns.

Fifty thousand Chu troops shouted in unison: "General, I am willing to fight to the death for the king!"

Only the bear dared to wait until the eunuchs, eunuchs and ring guards had bitter mouths.

This move by King Qi of Chu really boosted the morale of the soldiers of the Chu army.

But those of them who are personal guards will suffer the same fate!

King Qi of Chu raised his voice, pointed at the piece of gravel and shouted: "Is the Qin army's flying rocks scary?"

"For any other city, it is an unstoppable terror!"

"Heavy stones will easily destroy the city wall, allowing the Qin army to march straight in."

"The flying stones of the Qin army were also the weapon that enabled Lord Qin Changan to achieve his prestige today."

"Of course, our Helv City is the strongest city in the world!"

"Even if the Qin army flies rocks, they can't hurt our Helv City at all."

"The Qin army's move is just sending rolling stones to our army!"

The nearby soldiers stood on tiptoes and looked in the direction of King Chu's finger.

It was then seen that the flying stone had indeed made a dent in the city wall, but it had not made any cracks.

The huge stone that could easily destroy the walls of other cities fell on the wall of Helu City. Instead of causing any damage to Helu City, it actually made the wall of Helu City a little tighter!

And those scattered stones can be picked up by the Chu army and thrown towards the Qin army outside the city.

Many Chu soldiers smiled and shouted:

"Thank you Qin Jun for sending the rolling stones!"

Seeing that the morale of the Chu army had risen a bit, King Qi of Chu shouted almost loudly: "Soldiers!"

"I believe in this fortified city built by my great Chu people!"

"I believe in the great Chu Rui warriors who are loyal to me!"

"This battle must be won!"

This time, all the Chu soldiers shouted with powerful voices:

"Da Chu will definitely win!"

King Chu Qi breathed heavily, with a deep smile in his eyes.

In the past, many people questioned King Qi of Chu's decision to continuously build Helu City.

But today, those huge rocks that fell on Helu City were like slaps to all those who had criticized King Qi of Chu.

His decision, King Qi of Chu, was the right one!

Just as he was about to say a few more words of encouragement to the whole army, a village commander suddenly ran up to the city wall and bowed his hands with a hesitant look on his face: "Listen, Commander Peng Qing, pay your respects to the king and the commander-in-chief."

"My unit heard a strange noise underground, which seemed to be the sound of an acupoint attack."

King Chu Qi's eyes narrowed: "Really?"

Peng Qing said bitterly: "The final general cannot be determined, so I have to report it and ask your Majesty to make a decision."

Zhaocen frowned and angrily said: "As people who listen to the ground, you can't even determine whether there is any abnormal noise underground?"

"Isn't this dereliction of duty?"

Zhaocen's words were serious.

In the military, the punishment for dereliction of duty is beheading!

Peng Qing said repeatedly: "It's not that the general will not die, it's because the battlefield is too chaotic and the general can't hear clearly!"

Raising his hand to stop Zhaocen who was about to continue scolding, King Chu Qi said without hesitation: "Come with me to have a look!"

Peng Qing hurriedly trotted ahead and led Chu King Qi and a group of soldiers down the city wall.

Walking to the inner edge of the city wall, large urns buried in the ground appeared in front of everyone.

Beside those large urns, there were many soldiers squatting on the ground, covering their ears with their hands in pain.

King Qi of Chu had no time to think about why these soldiers behaved like this, but he personally put his head into the urn.

Upon seeing this, Peng Qing hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, you can't!"

"This urn..."

However, before Peng Qing could finish speaking, Chu Wang Qi Liu waved his hand outside the urn and shouted in a deep voice: "Silence!"

The king's order had been issued, and Peng Qing did not dare to open his mouth again.

Under Peng Qing's anxious and worried gaze, King Qi of Chu listened intently.

"Dong~dong~bang bang~rumble~"

The subtle sounds in the ground were amplified by the urn, and then penetrated into the ears of King Qi of Chu.

King Chu Qi frowned unconsciously and judged carefully: "This is the sound of footsteps advancing in formation."

"This is the sound of horse hooves."

"This is the sound of wheels."

"This is……"

"Bang!!!"

An explosion suddenly sounded from the urn, and the strong sound waves made the urn body tremble visibly!

King Chu Qi suddenly pulled out his head and backed away with a face full of pain: "Ah!!!"

"My ears!"

Zhaocen, Xiong Gan and others hurried forward and shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty!"

"Is the king okay?!"

"Healer! Healer, come quickly!"

"Take this one down!"

"Peng Qing, if the king is ill, I will take the lives of your three clans!"

Unfortunately, King Qi of Chu could no longer hear any outside sounds.

All he could hear was the humming of his own brain!

Peng Qing said with a panicked face: "The last general has just tried to dissuade the king! The last general has tried to dissuade me!"

"Although the Qin army's flying stones could not damage our city wall, they made it difficult to use this listening urn."

"Because of this, our troops cannot tell whether the enemy has used hole attack techniques!"

Peng Qing tried his best to defend himself, but was still pushed to the ground by several generals.

Feeling the coldness of the sword beside his neck, Peng Qing was heartbroken and could only turn his pleading eyes to King Chu Qi.

Fortunately, after King Chu calmed down for half a quarter of an hour, he finally recovered some hearing.

"Don't call me, I can hear you." Panting heavily for the rest of his life, King Chu Qi waved his hand to stop Xiong Gan, who kept shouting at the top of his lungs.

Xiong Gan cried with joy: "I hope your Majesty is fine, I hope you are fine!"

King Chu Qi pressed Xiong Gan's arm and stood up straight, and said with emotion: "Let go of Chief Peng."

"It will be very difficult for our army to listen to the people in the land."

Several generals then let go of Peng Qing, and Peng Qing hurriedly bowed his head: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness!"

King Chu Qi forced a smile and helped Peng Qing up: "No need to be polite."

"I personally used this listening urn once, and then I realized what kind of pressure you are under."

"However, for the sake of Da Chu, I still need Chief Peng to continue to monitor the underground situation for me."

"After this battle, I will definitely reward all those who listen!"

Peng Qing's mood suddenly jumped from the bottom of the valley to the top of the mountain, and he repeatedly raised his hands in surprise: "I will thank the king on behalf of all the soldiers listening!"

King Qi of Chu turned around and asked: "It was just after Peng Tun's speech that he seemed to hear the sound of acupoint attack?"

Peng Qing hurriedly explained seriously: "The last general heard a sound that was quite similar to the sound of acupoint attack."

"However, the Qin and Qi coalition forces outside the city have been digging and filling trenches outside the city since a month ago. The sound of digging and the sound of digging holes are very similar and difficult to distinguish."

"Now the Qin army outside the city ordered tens of thousands of people to attack the city, and even threw flying stones, making it increasingly difficult to distinguish the general's troops."

"Therefore, the general is not sure, and the king still needs to make a decision!"

After King Qi of Chu pondered for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Qin Chang'an is good at using cunning strategies, and it is even better to use cunning strategies."

"Although our army cannot be sure whether the Qin-Qi coalition used hole attacks."

"However, the strategy of attacking acupoints must be guarded against!"

King Qi of Chu looked at Zhaocen: "Your Majesty, what do you think our army should do to defend itself?"

The strategy for attacking acupoints has been in place for a long time.

But in Zhaocen's view, the possibility of the Qin-Qi coalition using hole attacks in this battle is slim.

Not to mention how long it would take to dig through the thirty-foot-wide wall of Helu City.

Even if the Qin-Qi coalition really dug a tunnel, so what?

There is also a moat outside the east and west walls of Helu City.

Even if the Qin-Qi coalition forces could sneak into Helu City through the tunnel, they would not be able to cross the two moats!

Zhaocen said tactfully: "The base of the wall outside our city is thirty feet wide. Even if the Qin and Qi coalition forces attack through holes, how long will it take to dig out a passage?"

"I believe that the possibility of the Qin-Qi coalition's acupoint attack being successful is extremely slim."

"If the Qin-Qi coalition really attacks the cave, it will be nothing more than a futile effort in the end."

"Of course, what the king said is true. This acupoint attack strategy must be guarded against!"

Zhaocen emphasized his voice and said: "I would like to send five times more soldiers to monitor the ground and take strict precautions."

"If the Qin-Qi coalition really adopts the strategy of attacking holes, then we, the great Chu, will follow Mozi's strategy and burn the tunnels with fireworks, and then send elite troops to fight the Qin-Qi coalition head-on in the tunnels!"
