Chapter 614 The Strongest City in the World? I Will Destroy the Strongest City in the World!
After hearing the news, King Qi of Chu hurriedly got on his horse and rushed towards the city wall without even putting on his shoes.
Galloping all the way to two feet in front of Zhaocen, the King of Chu tightened the reins, and the hoofs of the horse almost hit Zhaocen's face before he stopped.
King Qi of Chu jumped off his horse and asked forcefully: "Zhaoling Yin, how is the battle going?"
Xiong Gan trotted all the way behind King Chu Qi, taking advantage of the opportunity when King Chu Qi raised his feet to quickly put on his shoes.
Zhaocen supported King Qi of Chu and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty."
"I just heard the sound of the Qin and Qi Allied Forces digging into the ground. I think the Qin and Qi Allied Forces are indeed using the hole attack strategy."
King Chu Qi's heart trembled suddenly: "Ai Qing, do you have any countermeasures?"
Zhaocen used his right hand and introduced in a deep voice: "The strategy for attacking acupoints has been in place for a long time."
"However, after Mozi compiled the method of breaking acupoint attacks into a book and spread it widely, there were only a few people who used acupoint attacks again."
"To this day, acupoint attack has not been successful for decades."
"I have brought in a large amount of tung oil, wolf dung, firewood, weeds and other materials."
"Once the Qin-Qi coalition dug a tunnel, the soldiers would pour tung oil into the cave, then light it with fire to burn the Qin-Qi coalition in the cave."
"After burning and killing, wolf dung, weeds and a lot of firewood were thrown in and ignited by the flames in the cave. This produced spicy smoke and choked the Qin and Qi coalition forces in the cave to death."
"Even though the Qin-Qi coalition dug many tunnels and our army failed to respond, I also mobilized 7,000 elite troops to enter the tunnels and confront the Qin army, preventing the enemy from advancing even an inch."
"I also ordered the soldiers to dig a shallow ditch to lead the water from the moat of the Inner East City to this place."
"If our army and the enemy are fighting over the tunnel, we will divert the river water into the enemy's tunnel and drown all the enemy troops!"
There are really too many methods of counter-point attack.
The master of counterpoint attack is Chu State!
Zhaocen came up with a package of countermeasures in just a moment, completely cutting off the possibility of Ying Chengyu using hole attack tactics to transport troops and horses into Helu City, and then seize Helu City!
It can be said that as long as Ying Chengyu adopts the hole attack strategy, there is only one outcome waiting for the Qin-Qi coalition's hole attack force.
die!
After King Qi of Chu heard this, he just looked at Zhaocen and said seriously: "Of course, the commander outside the city is Lord Qin Chang'an!"
You are indeed well prepared.
The hole attack tactic is indeed an old tactic that has been cracked long ago.
But standing outside the city is Ying Chengyu!
King Qi of Chu only used one sentence to tear Zhaocen's confidence to pieces!
Recalling the battle of Helv City last year, Zhaocen was silent for a long time before sighing softly: "I also know that the commander outside the city is Lord Qin Chang'an."
"I have now made many arrangements for Lord Qin Changan's acupoint attack technique."
"If Lord Qin Chang'an really launches a cave attack, I am sure that I will not allow a single Qin-Qi coalition army to pass through the tunnel and set foot on the ground of our Helu City."
"But I don't know whether I accidentally discovered Lord Qin Changan's omission, or whether I fell into Lord Qin Changan's plan again!"
Point attack can be the main tactic.
The hole attack can also be a smoke bomb to assist the main tactics.
True and false, false and true, mixed truth and falsehood, and rotation of falsehood and falsehood, this is Ying Chengyu's combat style.
Who can be sure whether Ying Chengyu's strategy is false or true?
I can’t tell the difference!
King!
I really can’t tell the difference!
Facing Zhaocen who was timid before fighting, King Qi of Chu was silent for a few breaths and then spoke in a deep voice: "Since Zhaoling Yin thought that Lord Qin Chang'an was carrying out the acupoint attack strategy and had already made a proper response, then Zhaoling Yin Then focus on this strategy.”
"I will personally lead the troops to the city."
"If Lord Qin Changan is just using acupuncture points to confuse our army, but actually wants to attack from the front, then I will lead the army to stop it!"
Zhaocen suddenly looked at Chu Wangqi and saw Chu Wangqi's free and easy smile:
"I am now the king of Chu, but in the past I was the prime minister of Qin and personally risked my life."
"When it comes to military strategy, I can imagine that I will be inferior to all the generals."
Zhaocen suddenly felt a little doubtful and guilty.
Xiong Liu is indeed better controlled and manipulated than King Qi of Chu, and is more likely to become the puppet of various powerful clans.
But, is Xiong Liu really more suitable to be the King of Chu than King Qi of Chu?
Suppressing the guilt in his heart, Zhaocen solemnly handed over his hands: "May the king be victorious!"
King Chu Qi cupped his hands and returned the salute: "I wish you all my love a great victory!"
As soon as he finished speaking, King Chu Qi drew his sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Masters of Chu, the guards around the ring, eunuchs, and eunuchs, listen to your orders!"
"Armor!"
"Draw your sword!"
"Follow me to the city!"
The ferocity buried deep in the heart of King Qi of Chu broke through the shackles of royal power.
At this moment, he was no longer just King Qi of Chu.
It was Xiong Qi who once held a spear and led five thousand soldiers and horses to fight Lao Ai in Qinian Palace!
Xiong Gan waited for all the soldiers who were closely following him to feel their blood surge, and they suddenly agreed:
"I am willing to fight to the death for the king!"
Under the night, all the soldiers and horses in Helu City were wearing armor and armed with weapons.
King Qi and Zhaocen of Chu separated the upper and lower parts of Helu City and prepared for it!
Suddenly, loud chants filled the night sky.
"Hey! Ha! Drink!"
Standing on the northwest city gate, King Qi of Chu opened his arms and allowed Xiong Gan to tie the laces of his heavy armor. However, he looked at the night sky with his eyes and murmured softly: "Here he comes!"
"Bang!!!"
More than a hundred heavy boulders smashed against the wall of Helu City with strong momentum.
Immediately following, Yingtian shouted to kill.
"rush ahead!"
"Capture the city!"
The shouts were deafening. King Chu Qiye reached out and took the spear handed over by Xiong Gan, and scanned the front with sharp eyes.
But King Chu's eyes were sore when he stared at them, but he didn't see even a single enemy soldier. He only waited for five rounds of flying stones.
King Chu Qi couldn't help but frown slightly, and ordered in a deep voice: "Xiong Gan, go around the city in person to find out where the Qin-Qi coalition launched their attack!"
Xiong dared to hand over his hand quickly, got on his horse and ran wildly along the city wall.
Three quarters of an hour later, Xiong Gan galloped back again. Before he could stop his horse, he hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, no trace of the enemy has been found in the five land gates or the water gate!"
The King of Chu opened his eyes and looked astonished: "You haven't noticed any trace of the enemy?"
"Could it be that Lord Qin Chang'an really intends to attack the city with caves?"
King Qi of Chu ran quickly to the inside of the city wall and looked down at Zhaocen.
Zhaocen seemed to know what Chu Wangqi wanted to ask, and he shook his head before Chu Wangqi could speak.
King Qi of Chu was really confused when he saw this.
The shouts of killing were so loud that the flying rocks had already hit them more than twenty times. This posture was more brutal than the previous sieges in the past few days.
result.
Where are people?
——
Just when Chu Wang Qi and Zhao Cen were looking for traces of the Qin and Qi coalition forces like headless flies, Zhao Cen didn't know.
Just in front of him, the Qin and Qi coalition forces had dug out a huge hall that was one hundred feet long, twenty-eight feet wide, and seven feet four inches high!
This hall has almost completely hollowed out the underground space of the city wall above, leaving only two feet of space in the direction of the outer city wall.
The upper part of the hall is covered with wooden boards.
Thick pieces of wood were densely inserted into the ground, pushing hard against the wooden boards.
The entire underground building is filled with the unique beauty of shoddy construction.
Unfortunately, this beauty is destined not to last forever!
The torch flew out of Su Jiao's hand and fell into the tunnel, instantly igniting the oil spilled on the ground.
Then, the fire snake surged forward along the route drawn by the oil, getting oxygen supply through the pores that went straight to the ground along the way, and drove straight into the underground hall!
The flames licked the pillars, beams, and wooden boards, and quickly assimilated the pillars, beams, and wooden boards into part of the flame, and finally turned into fly ash!
And every square plank, column and beam burned will make the pressure on the remaining planks, columns and beams heavier.
"what sound?"
Peng Qing frowned, directly uncovered the cowhide covering the urn, put his head into the urn again, and listened carefully.
Zhaocen immediately stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "But is there something different?"
Peng Qing pulled out his head and frowned deeper: "There seemed to be crackling, falling and crunching sounds."
"The general has never heard this voice before."
"This is definitely not the sound of ordinary acupuncture!"
Zhaocen's brows also furrowed deeply: "What on earth does Lord Qin Chang'an want?!"
Outside the city, the Qin-Qi coalition troops shouted, but no one could be seen.
The catapults were throwing flying stones frantically as if they had given up on themselves, but they could neither cover the soldiers nor destroy the city wall.
Now there is a strange noise underground that even the people who listen to the ground have never heard.
Zhao Cen has a head full of weird things.
Suddenly, an idea jumped out of his mind, and Zhaocen said thoughtfully: "Could it be that Lord Qin Changan really wanted to attack our city through tunnels, but as a result, the tunnel dug by the Qin-Qi coalition collapsed?"
The moment Zhaocen finished speaking, another round of flying rocks hit the city wall.
A large number of charred columns and beams finally could not withstand the heavy pressure from above and broke.
The dead weight of the rammed earth city wall can only bear on the soil beneath it, but how can that mere few feet of soil bear the weight of the strongest city in the world?
"Long~~~"
A muffled sound like a dragon's roar suddenly sounded.
Peng Qing's expression suddenly changed: "The earth dragon turns over!"
"The earth dragon has turned over!"
"Run!"
As soon as Peng Qing's shout came out, Zhaocen saw a crack that was dozens of feet long suddenly appeared between the inside of the Helv City wall and the ground!
Zhaocen's eyes suddenly widened, his pupils shrank into needles, and he roared in disbelief:
"run!"
Zhaocen and the Chu army were not given any time to react.
A section of the city wall that was dozens of feet long and looked like rootless duckweed collapsed toward the city!
Zhaocen, Peng Qing, as well as the seven thousand Chu troops and all the generals around Zhaocen were within three breaths.
They were all buried alive! ! !
Even Zhaocen's cry could not escape!
"boom!!!"
The muffled sound of the city wall hitting the ground woke up the entire Helu City, and even the sun jumped out of the horizon!
Chu Wangqi took two steps forward in disbelief, staring blankly at the collapsed city wall, and murmured in a daze: "How could it be like this?"
"I ordered more than 100,000 people to build a strong city wall that has lasted for more than a year!"
"The strongest city in the world that I use to resist the Qin army!"
"Why did it suddenly collapse?"
"How could it become a murderous weapon that buries our soldiers?"
"No!"
"No!!!"
