Chapter 615 City Wall: What Can You Use to Pay Me Back for What You Owe Me? This Is Truly the Power of Heaven!
Witnessed by more than 30,000 Chu troops in the city.
Watched by the 200,000 Qin-Qi coalition troops outside the city.
Facing the first rays of the morning sun.
A section of the outer wall of Helu City that is more than 90 feet long.
Tilting!
Falling! !
Collapse! ! !
"Boom~~~"
The rammed earth wall collapsed into the city along the hole in the hall under the city.
Zhao Cen, Peng Qing and other Chu soldiers standing under the city wall were drowned in an instant, and they didn't even have time to say a last word.
More than 5,000 Chu soldiers standing on the city wall also fell to the ground with the city wall!
The slower impact gave them a glimmer of hope, so that many Chu soldiers did not die on the spot even if they fell to the ground.
But, is this good news for them?
All the buildings built on the city wall collapsed together, and were thrown into the city and hit the Chu army by inertia.
All the weapons placed on the city wall, such as battering rams, rolling stones, tung oil, and arrows, jumped wildly and rushed towards the remaining Chu army and the government offices and palaces in the city.
The city wall, which had already suffered saturated flying stone impact, was now devastated by this devastating blow, and the internal structure could no longer hold on.
The collapsed rammed earth wall broke open a crack again.
Then.
Large pieces of rammed earth fell towards the city!
"Boom~~~Bang! Boom~"
The earth trembled.
The earth dragon roared.
A tragedy as horrible as a local earthquake, lasting for a long time!
It was not until more than ten breaths later that a sound that could compete with the dragon roar appeared in Helu City.
"Clan leader!!! How could all the good men of my Zhao clan be killed in such a humiliating night! My heart aches!"
"Why is this happening? How could this happen? This is clearly the strongest city in the world that we built with our own hands, how could it collapse!"
"Where is Sigong Jingchou? Pull out his nine clans! The city wall collapsed, so all the craftsmen who built the city should be buried with it! Let all three of their clans be buried with it!!!"
"This is a divine punishment! We clearly knew that Qin Chang'an Jun was the reincarnation of Zhurong, but we have never made Qin Chang'an Jun the King of Chu. This is the punishment from heaven and earth for us who are against the reincarnation of Zhurong!"
"This battle was a mistake from the beginning. My Great Chu has been rejected by Zhurong and the flood. My Great Chu cannot win. Surrender! Surrender!"
The shouts of shock and despair competed with the roar of the dragon.
All the Chu army looked at the collapsed city wall in disbelief.
Many soldiers had seen the construction site of this wall with their own eyes, and some soldiers even participated in the construction work in person.
They knew very well that no craftsman or supervisor dared to joke with their three tribes, and this city definitely reached the standard of the city wall.
They couldn't understand how such a solid city wall could suddenly collapse!
They couldn't accept that their greatest reliance in their hearts was lost in a few breaths!
In their opinion, this could only be a punishment from heaven!
Let alone the Chu army.
Even the Qin-Qi coalition forces outside the city broke out in an uproar.
"The city wall collapsed? Such a large, wide, and majestic city wall collapsed?!"
"Is our army's flying stones so brave? Although it seems that it did not hurt the Helu city wall, it caused such serious internal injuries to the Helu city wall!"
"This is definitely not something that human power can do, but it is actually the power of heaven!"
Tian Zhen, Tang Ju and all the Qi generals looked at Ying Chengjiao with round eyes.
Even Ren Xiong, Li Xin and other Qin generals stared at Ying Chengjiao in amazement.
They were all veterans who had fought all their lives.
What scenes had they not seen?
But this scene, they had never seen before!
Facing the shocked, puzzled, and dazed eyes, Ying Chengjiao smiled and said, "You don't need to look at me, and you don't need to kneel to the sky."
"This is all the credit of the various forces of the cave attack."
All the generals looked at Su Jiao suddenly.
Su Jiao raised his chin slightly and said proudly, "Your Majesty once said: Although a strong city is good, it should be built in moderation."
"If it is built without moderation, even if the national strength can bear it, the land strength will also be difficult to bear it."
"Now, my troops have disrupted their land advantages, and this city will fall by itself!"
Cave attack can indeed be used to secretly transport soldiers into the enemy city.
But as the city continues to grow thicker and heavier, the cave attack will derive other uses in the future.
When the hole attack troops hollowed out the space under the city wall, what could they use to repay the soil and support there?
There is no way to repay!
The city wall will naturally die for the enemy and our army to see!
The reason why Gongsun Zan in history was defeated in Yijing City was because Yuan Shao used the hole attack strategy to dig through the underground space of the Yijing City tower, causing the tower to collapse and Yijing City to fall!
After listening to Su Jiao's not detailed explanation, Tian Zhen said with emotion: "The left prime minister is really..."
After thinking for a few breaths, Tian Zhen couldn't think of a suitable adjective, and said more and more with emotion: "Fortunately, Qin and Qi are friends instead of enemies."
"Fortunately, the left prime minister is the left prime minister of my great Qi!"
Tang Ju and other Qi generals also nodded in unison.
Even if they knew that Ying Chengjiao was good at making strange plans, what could they do?
Ying Chengjiao's strange plans always exceeded their imagination!
They didn't know how to deal with such an enemy general, so they could only be glad that he was their ally.
Ying Chengjiao's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's save the words of admiration and surprise for after the battle."
"This is a golden opportunity that only comes once in a lifetime, and we must not miss it."
"Pass on my order!"
"Beat the victory drum!"
"The front, left, and right armies and the five siege forces will attack in full force!"
"Capture the city!!!"
All the soldiers cheered and raised their hands: "Wei!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The passionate drums sounded.
Peng Yue looked back at his soldiers. He didn't say too many words. He just raised his spear high and shouted with excitement:
"wind!"
Yingbu, Bi Yong and other Qi army warriors were unskilled but extremely enthusiastic, raising their weapons together and roaring in unison:
"wind!"
"wind!"
"Gale!"
There is no strong back nasal sound unique to Qin Opera, which makes the sound of shouting and drinking less desolate from the northwest.
But the roars issued by the Qilu martyrs made the shouts more powerful and powerful.
Peng Yue took the lead and ran towards the wall of Helu City, roaring angrily:
"My dear fellows, follow me and charge!"
Yingbu took several steps with his long legs, directly passed Peng Yue, and shouted excitedly:
"rush!!!"
To the left and right of Peng Yue's troops, Huang Kuang, Ge Ping, and Deng Ming were also running wildly.
Jingpo even led more than a thousand elite soldiers from the wealthy clan who had surrendered to charge at the forefront of seizing Helu City!
"Go first! Go first!"
While shouting and shouting, Jingpo stepped on the collapsed city wall!
Although the swaying wall made Jingpo's heart tremble, Jingpo still ran forward firmly until he jumped into the city along the collapsed wall!
"Jing family Jingpo is here!"
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
The nearby Chu army finally recovered from the emotions of the aftermath, and saw Jing Po leaping into the city like a divine soldier descending from the sky.
Following closely behind Jingpo were a steady stream of descendants of the Chu clan under the banner of the Qin-Qi Allied Forces!
Chu Jun:? ? ?
What the hell is this?
Without any hesitation, the Chu troops all threw away their weapons and knelt down to ask for surrender!
Jingpo was overjoyed when he saw this, and quickly ordered: "Jingluan's troops and Zhaojiong's troops will stay here, and they must guard the entrance to the city for our army."
"The rest of the troops will follow the general and turn west, aiming to climb the city's horse road."
"Capture the city!"
Under Jingpo's command, all the sons of the wealthy clan shouted in unison: "Seize the city!"
At the same time, the gate tower in the northwest of Helu City.
"Your Majesty!" Xiong Gan shouted anxiously: "The Qin-Qi coalition forces have entered the city!"
Chu Wangqi's eyes, which had been looking in Zhaocen's direction, slowly focused.
Suppressing the confusion, fear, uneasiness and doubts in his heart, King Qi of Chu took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: "Which troop attacked first?"
Xiong Gan was silent for two seconds before he spoke: "Looking at the flag, it should be from Jingpo's army."
King Qi of Chu was slightly startled, then laughed: "It was the Jing family's children who were the first to break through the Helu city!"
"ha?"
"ha!"
The anger in Chu Wang Qi's laughter could not be concealed at all.
Xiong Gan raised his hand and said: "I am willing to lead the eunuch as the king to get rid of this traitor!"
King Qi of Chu did not agree, he just forced himself to calm down and looked around.
The collapse of that section of the city wall not only killed Zhaocen and other 7,000 Chu troops, but also killed 5,000 defenders on the city, making the Chu army, which was already weak in military strength, even worse.
not only that.
The outer wall in the northwest direction of Helv City is also the outer wall of Helv Palace.
As that section of the city wall collapsed, Helv Palace was completely exposed to the Qin and Qi coalition forces!
After pondering for a moment, King Qi of Chu immediately made a decision: "Send an order to all the defenders to abandon the defense of Helv Palace and retreat along the east gate to the inner east city!"
"Our army will defend the inner east city next!"
Xiong Gan promised loudly: "Wei!"
The drums are beating and the flags are waving.
But many Chu soldiers looked at each other in confusion after making moves.
"The city collapsed and the enemy army was brave. Can our army really win?"
"We, the great Chu, have repeatedly opposed the great god Zhu Rong, and now we have been punished by heaven. If our army continues to oppose the great god Zhu Rong, will we be despised by the world and unable to go to hell after death, but become lonely ghosts?"
"Even those rich people have surrendered, why do we still persist?"
"If you are brave for the king of Chu, you will eventually be willing to fight to the death, but this king... is it worth dying for you and me? Isn't it good to magnify the king and become the prime minister of Qin!"
The scene like punishment from heaven and earth gave all the Chu troops a fatal blow from the level of belief.
The collapsed city walls and six times more enemy troops made the Chu army, who feared ghosts and gods, stay away from the enemy completely despairing of this battle.
Jingpo, who led the charge, made them, the grassroots soldiers who had never enjoyed the benefits of Chu but were still fighting for Chu, look like a joke.
Thinking again that even if King Qi of Chu could not become the King of Chu, he could still go to Qin and become the Prime Minister of Qin, all the soldiers of the Chu army could not help but have the same thought in their hearts.
What are they fighting for? And why did he die?
"Danglang~"
A crisp sound opened the curtain.
Weapons were thrown away by the soldiers of the Chu army. Their knees were in close contact with the earth, and loud shouts resounded throughout Helu City.
"I'm waiting, please surrender!"
Listening to the call for surrender that resounded throughout the city, King Qi of Chu was furious, but he had no time to rebuke. He just said flatly: "There is no need to wait for the army."
"Go to the inner east city immediately!"
After saying this, King Chu Qi turned around and was about to leave the northwest gate tower.
However, before Chu Wangqi could reach the stairs, a loud shout came from outside the city and reached Chu Wangqi's ears.
"Jun Chang'an of Qin, Prime Minister Zuo of Qi, and Young Master Cheng Xi, please give me your answer before the King of Chu!"
